http://www.firstgiving.com/randypausch PLEASE donate to the Randy Pausch pancreatic cancer research fund.Dr. Randy Pausch has passed away this morning on July 25, 2008. He will be GREATLY missed but his words and teachings will live on FOREVER!This is a video that everyone should see. For those of you who aren't familiar with who Dr. Randy Pausch is, the short story goes like this:He is a happily married man with three very young children. He spent years working for Disney as an Imagineer who helped them develop some of their theme park attractions. He then went on to teach at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania where he still is to this day.Abruptly, his life took a turn for the worse when he got cancer and fought it off after years of treatment. The cancer has since returned and has near-totally corupted several vital organs leaving him with mere months to live.This video is his shortened speech on how not even death can bring this man down and how the dreams he sought to come true can inspire us all.This video has changed my life and I will NEVER forget it. Will it do the same for you? Please pass this video on to anyone you feel takes life for granted or just pass it to someone who loves to live.The full video can be found here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5700431505846055184&q=the+last+lecture&total=1187&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0Additional Info on Dr. Pausch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Pausch Dr. Pausch's final fight to get the message out about his disease:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iP7xr6ig-shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ7zeZrAAkcPlease watch this and find some true happiness in your life.Arch.

A student stands up in the middle of class and starts brilliantly singing a broadway style musical.Even the Professor (James Valentini) was laughing at this!!!!Starring Mike BarryWith Kate Berthhold, Trey McArver, and Patrick YoungLyrics (written by Brian Jacobs)Hey teach!I've got a question -- what I mean is. . . it's just. . .We come to class everyday it seems, we all fall asleep we've lost all our dreams.There is no inspiration.But when did we become this way, so disillusioned? So blasé?I can't make the calculation.Can I borrow your TI-83?Hey teach!Have you thought for a whileabout the impact that you have on us?Teach!I think it's high time that you triedto extend your learning on to us and reach!Are you with me classmates?YEAH.(One person)What about that guy over there? Why aren't you taking notes? Don't you even care?This is your education.This girl sitting over here, she talks a lot in class but her thoughts are never really quite clear.So much mental masturbationIs it we..who are to blame.Hey TEACH!!!!All the professors in movies and TVlike Prangstgrup -...

Google Tech TalksOctober, 18 2007ABSTRACTSimilarity search is the problem of preprocessing a database of N objects in such a way that given a query object, one can effectively determine its nearest neighbors in database. "Geometric near-neighbor access tree" data structure, an early work (1995) by Sergey Brin, is one of the most known solutions to this problem.Similarity search is closely connected to many algorithmic problems in the web. Similarity search is an abstraction of many algorithmic problems we face in data management. In this talk we will focus on:- Personalized news aggregation: Searching for news articles that are most similar to the user's profile of interests- Behavioral targeting: Searching for the most relevant advertisement for displaying to a given user.- Social network analysis: Suggesting new friends.- Computing co-occurrence similarities.- "Best match search": Searching resumes, jobs, BF/GF, cars, apartments.We describe features that make web applications somewhat different from previously studied models. Thus we re-examine the formalization and the classical algorithms for similarity search. This leads us to new algorithms (we present two of them) and numerous open problems in the field.Speaker: Yury LifshitsYury Lifshits obtained his PhD degree from Steklov Institute of Mathematics at S...
