  Tabu search - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tabu search is a mathematical optimization method, belonging to the class of local search techniques.
Tabu search is generally attributed to Fred Glover.
To explore regions of the search space that would be left unexplored by the local search procedure and—by doing this—escape local optimality, tabu search modifies the neighbourhood structure of each solution as the search progresses.

 Taboo (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taboo is a word guessing party game commercially available from Hasbro.
The object of the game is for a player to have their partner guess the word on their card without using the word itself or five additional words listed on the card.
Teens to young adults often use pornographic or sexual innuendo to describe a word, for example: if the word is crab, and the ensuing taboo words all pertain to the aquatic animal, it is perfectly legal to describe the STD.

 Taboo search
As the search proceeds, the user is informed of the status: if a new better solution is found, its loglikelihood is reported.
If the search detets it is stuck, always moving in the same region, a ``*'' is printed and the search automatically restarted from a new starting point.
The parameters of the search are given by the number of time the serach process must be run, how many extra iterations are allowed and the bounds of variation for the definition of what a taboo move is. These bounds are defined as percentages and should therefore be between

 Taboo Readings, Willful girl   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Life was suddenly and irreversibly complicated by the taboo readings—one couldn't simply rely on what was portrayed in public or on the words which appeared on the surface.
Though the discoveries of the taboo readings seemed rather like biting into the mythic apple and finding that adults and my world did not exist as I had previously imagined them to be, there was also an odd sense of relief that eventually followed.
Perhaps the difficulty, after all, was not in the taboo readings themselves, but in the veil of secrecy which kept them hidden and inaccessible to comment or analysis, a secrecy that seemed to silence the adults to whom these materials belonged.

 CNN.com - Panned Boy George musical 'Taboo' closing - Jan. 14, 2004
"Taboo," the Boy George musical brought to Broadway by Rosie O'Donnell, will close February 8, losing all of its well-known producer's $10 million investment.
The cast was told of the closing before the Tuesday evening performance, said John Barlow, a spokesman for the show.
"Taboo," the producer said, was "a legitimate, knock-'em-down, leave-'em-screaming, worth-a-$100-a-seat Broadway show" and predicted it would win the Tony Award for best musical.

 What Is Search Engine Optimization
Most people new to search engine optimization are under the false assumption that once they submit their site to a list of search engines, they will automatically achieve high search engine rankings.
Search engines rank Web sites based on how much content they have and how relevant it is to the search term query.
These practices are considered taboo by search engines and when they discover these tactics used on your Web site, they may ban your site.

 AN INTRODUCTION TO TABU SEARCH
The search space of an LS or TS heuristic is simply the space of all possible solutions that can be considered (visited) during the search.
The preceding discussion should have clarified a major point: choosing a search space and a neighborhood structure is by far the most critical step in the design of any TS heuristic.
The idea behind the concept of search intensification is that, as an intelligent human being would probably do, one should explore more thoroughly the portions of the search space that seem “promising” in order to make sure that the best solutions in these areas are indeed found.

Philadelphia native Jon Entine wastes no time getting the millennium off to a thought-provoking start with his new book, Taboo: Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports And Why We Are Afraid To Talk About It (Public Affairs).
Entine produced a 1989 NBC special which linked fl dominance in certain sports (such as basketball, football and sprinting) to genetics, and drew condemnation for even bringing up the topic.
Undaunted, Entine returns to the subject with Taboo, which quotes from leading geneticists who maintain that athletes of West African origin have certain physical characteristics — smaller chest cavities, longer arm spans and higher centers of gravity — which enable them to excel in running and jumping.
