text: At the London premiere of "Run for Your Wife," the former "EastEnders" star Kellie Shirley took our focus off her work when her dress parted like the curtains at the play her film was based on. The rainy weather played dirty with Kellie Shirley as her hem of the pretty gown was soaked with water and accidently she flashed her under wear and her gown was on the verge of spilling out. Looks like panties were the least of Shirley's problems, though. Shirley might consider taking a trip to the tailor before her next red carpet appearance. Enjoy this Kellie Shirley upskirt gallery!

Dear Prime Minister,
While in Edinburgh on Monday 27th Feb. I heard that prior to the book 'Megrahi: you are my jury' being launched, you had publicly claimed that it was an insult to the families of those who died at Lockerbie.
I just want you to be aware that far from being an insult, this book appears to raise issues which cast yet further doubt upon the verdict reached at Zeist against Mr Megrahi.
We all know that times are hard, but in light of the doubts that exist about this conviction it would be hugely appreciated if some effort could be diverted by Whitehall to objective examination of the fall out from this terrible case.
Comments from Lady Thatcher's time onwards about the tragedy surely now need review. She wrote in 'The Downing Street Years' that following the bombing by the USAF of Tripoli and Bengazi in 1986.
'The much vaunted Libyan counter attack did not and could not take place. Gaddafi had not been destroyed but he had been humbled. There was a marked decline in Libyan sponsored terrorism in succeeding years.'
Yet the UK Government was telling us that Lockerbie was a Libyan atrocity from start to finish.
The paradox between those who actually try to comprehend all the available facts for and against the verdict over Megrahi and those with blind faith in the verdict is not resolving.
To comment in the way that you are reported to have done on Monday morning may be to support the wishes of the American Government and many American relatives, but what we search for is the truth, and that search is not likely to be well supported by such comments about a book which you could not possibly have read beforehand.
May I humbly suggest that you revisit 'The Downing Street years', (page 449), just to check that that is indeed what she wrote: there are over 900 pages all told. Then perhaps have an objective assessment made of the contents of the 'Megrahi: you are my jury' book, as I feel sure that you have not the time to read all of its almost 500 pages.
Please remember that although relatively small in number, our distress at what for some of us appears to be deliberate concealment of the truth is real, and when supported by so significant a person as yourself, deeply distressing. Bereavement is a life sentence as you know only too well.
That said I would welcome the opportunity to come and discuss the situation with yourself, or members of your cabinet.
In view of all this I have made the contents of this letter publicly available (without the need for any hacking!).
Any reply, from yourself, as courtesy demands, will receive appropriate confidentiality, unless cleared by you for similar treatment.
With best wishes to you and your family,
Dr Jim Swire
Father of Flora murdered, age 23, at Lockerbie 21/12/88.
Scottish Liberal Democrat Leader Willie Rennie expressed concern about the meeting, saying: "Many people will be perplexed that the first minister can have such a close association with the troubled media tycoon.
Just off to bed with a smile on my face.Wee Willie Bain just had a pasting on Newsnight Scotland.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

The constellation Triangulum has only a couple of moderately bright stars -- and only one of those has a proper name. Mothallah -- a name that means "the triangle" -- stands halfway up the eastern sky at nightfall, at the tip of the skinny triangle.
The star is about half again as massive as the Sun. That doesn't sound like much, but it has a big effect on the rest of the star's vital statistics -- and its lifespan.
Astronomers have a couple of ways of measuring a star's mass. One way is to plot its brightness against its surface temperature. Heavier stars "burn" the nuclear fuel in their cores more quickly, so they shine hotter and brighter than their punier counterparts. Mothallah, for example, is several thousand degrees hotter than the Sun, and more than 10 times brighter. Plotting those numbers yields a mass of 1.5 times the Sun's mass.
There's a second way to measure mass, and it's more precise than the first.
If a star has a companion, you can measure the mass of both stars by plotting their orbit and applying some math. Fortunately, Mothallah has a small companion. Measurements of their mutual orbit confirm the estimate of one and a half times the mass of the Sun.
A star's mass also determines how long it will live. Since heavier stars use their nuclear fuel more quickly, they live shorter lives. Mothallah, for example, will live only around three billion years -- compared to more than 10 billion years for the Sun.

The exceptions of cases where the house was a castle, and of endowment
at the church door were not applicable to the province.
With respect to the meaning of the word niaritogium, here translated
marriage, there seems to be some difference of opinion. Lord Coke, 2 Inst.
16, saya, that the meaning is that widows may marry when they will with-
out any license or assent of their lords. On the other hand it is said, that
"marifagium is a technical word and signifies a portion of land given in
consideration of the marriage." Such gifts were made by some relative of
the wife to the husband with his wife, or to both of them, or to a woman
ad se maritandam, and might be made before, or at the time of, or subse-
quently to the marriage contract. If issue of the marriage were born alive,
the gift remained to the husband during his life, unless by its terms it were
to descend to the heirs of the donee. If no issue born alive, the land
reverted to the donor immediately on the death of the wife. See 1 Reeve H.
242. By the law of England before the Conquest, a widow could not marry
again until the expiration of one year after the death of her husband, Co.
Litt., 32 b. And it has been generally considered that by this clause of the
Statute the restriction which had subsisted, at least, to this extent, that
the assent of the lord was necessary to any marriage proposed by the
widow, was entirely abolished. The last paragraph of the chapter which
might lead to a contrary conclusion is explained by Lord Coke "to be under-
stood where such a license of marriage in case of a common person was
due by custome, prescription or special tenure."
Quarantine.—The Quarantine of the widow secured to her by this chapter
of Magna Charta is a privilege peculiar to her state of widowhood, and to
her inhabitancy of her husband's house during the allotted period. "There-
fore if she marry again within the forty days she loseth her quarantine
for then her widowhood is past and she hath provided for herself," 2 Inst.,
17. And her right is also determined by her departure from her husband's
house within the period, and she will not be allowed to return, 1 Bright, H.
& W. 363. In very many of the States special provision is made by law for
this right of the widow, and accordingly in some of them the consequence
of forfeiture does not ensue either upon her marriage or her departure

Q - My Protestant friends never ask me about my Catholic faith, but talk about their churches and how great they are (trying to evangelize me, I suppose). Monday night we all attended a Campus Crusade for Christ kick-off party. Good times, games and free food. However, as a Catholic, I not only read the bible, and try to live it out but I get to partake in Christ's life through the sacraments and I get the fullness of truth in the Church.
Question: My parents have taught me humility and not to boast about what I have, especially if other's are not as fortunate. Whenever I get brave enough to explain why I love the Catholic Church, I'm worried I come off sounding boastful and snotty. Sort of an, "I have this and you don't" attitude.
Can you give me a few good lines to say that show how blessed Catholics are, but don't sound so "holier than thou". I would also like to reach-out to other Catholics in the group and remind them about how wonderful their faith is, and not to abondon it for a nondenom. church recommended by CC for Christ.
A - Thanks for the question. It is good to see that you have a passion to evangelize, but don't want to be triumphant about the blessings and truth we have in our Catholic faith. Good for you! Too often young evangelists have the passion and get too pushy. The work of evangelization is God's and we are merely His instrument. If we are pushy about our faith, then the work becomes of us, not God.
So, what can you do?
1 - Evangelize by example. This is the most important. You have to live your Catholic faith. While you are blessed to be a strong Catholic now, you have to be on your guard if you decide to stay active in Campus Crusade for Christ. Many in Cru will aggressively try to get you out of the Catholic Church. You must protect your faith. So, living it out will be paramount.
Any kind of evangelization must be a genuine gift of our faith to another and a simple testament to what we believe, not a BELIEVE IT OR ELSE mentality.
You can do things such as:
- invite people to a Catholic social activity, Bible study, class, prayer groups, Mass, etc.
- give your testimony about how your Catholic faith has brought you closer to Christ.
- ask them if they have any questions about the Catholic faith, then do your best to answer their questions. Be ok with them saying they don't have any, they might later. Also, remember to say "I don't know" if you don't. But, then look up an answer and follow up with them.
- make the sign of the cross every time you pray with your Protestant friends and see if they are curious.
- use signs of Catholicsm - e.g. statues, paintings, Catholic shirts, crucifixes, etc. to spur conversations
- give them brochures or CDs that explain Catholic teachings
Because you already have friends who are open to talking about faith issues, then there is one other thing I would do. Look for the open door. Whenever you are given an opportunity to talk about your faith, take it. Don't force these kinds of situations, but be on the lookout for them. Once you do start to talk, make sure you give them an opportunity to share as well, and really listen to them. You can also create open doors by strategically inserting Catholic words into conversations.
We cannot use stiff formulas or practiced presentations in order to build a relationship with another person. Relationships can be through a one-time encounter or a life-long friendship. The more I am aware of the possibility of forming relationships with others, the more I find the Lord presents me with these opportunities.
Ask simple open-ended questions about faith. I find the question, "what kind of faith tradition do you come from?" or "what do you believe about _____" opens the door quickly to a discussion on religion, spirituality and other topics. But, you don't just want to talk about any topic at all, but more specifically you want to lead the person where you want them to go. Ask them why they believe what they do and take a sincere interest in their answer. We shouldn't be out to prove them wrong but rather steer them closer to Christ and His truth.
While discussing, we should be actively listening and responding. Use their name, acknowledge their sincerity (even if their beliefs are strange to you), don't cut them off, be careful of your body language and facial expressions (especially if they say something offensive), and try to show a genuine interest in the person's well-being. You should not be in the conversation for your own benefit, but rather for their benefit.
Try to make connections with the other person. Common interests can help both of you feel more comfortable. But, be careful of one-upping them. I am a competitive person by nature and seem to one-up other people all the time. If they have a story, I have a better one. This turns people off.
You should also share why you believe what you believe. We do this because no one can say your experience of faith is not valid, even if they don't share your belief in Christ. When you are talking be sure to take mental notes of how they react. Also, note the important parts of their story as well. Where do they need Christ most in their life – relationships, addictions, etc.?
Just a side-note. Don't assume you know what your friends believe because they are Protestant. Many Protestants, like many Catholics, approach their faith cafeteria-style. That is, they pick and choose some of the doctrines and not others. So, you need to dialogue about what they believe, not what you think they believe.
Prepare yourself to be a good evangelist with:
- prayer
- study
- prayer
- practicing evangelization by doing it
- prayer
I am sure you have heard the phrase, "love them where they are". This is an important principle. We should love them, because our Lord loves them. God wants them to go to heaven, and draw close to Him even more than we do. But, this doesn't mean we leave them where they are - in their sin or position in life if they are far from Christ.

Scandal-Plagued Senator John Ensign (R-NV) Resigns
• Scandal-plagued Nevada senator John Ensign (R) finally resigned. "I will not continue to subject my family, my constituents or the Senate to any further rounds of investigation, depositions, drawn-out proceedings or especially public hearings," he said, referring to his admitted affair with a former aide's wife, among other uncouth endeavors. [The Los Angeles Times]
• President Obama dispatched a pair of Predator drones to Libya. "There's no doubt that will help protect civilians, and we welcome that step from the American administration," an anti-government rebel spokesperson said. The unmanned aircraft were joined by Senator John McCain (R-AZ), who also arrived in Libya yesterday. [The Washington Post]
• Authorities are investigating why, on Tuesday, the Washington D.C. Police escorted Charlie Sheen from an airport one to one of his one-man shows, for which he was running significantly late. Meanwhile, the Google results for "Charlie Sheen escort" are interesting. [The New York Post]
• Glenn Beck called Mike Huckabee a "progressive," a word Mike Huckabee accused Glenn Beck of historically equating with "Nazi."

Intelligent Communication with Computers
AITopics > Interfaces
- FLUIDS (Intelligent User Interfaces - New Achievements in Research)
Even the most sophisticated and powerful system will be next to useless without an effective user interface. If struggling with the operation of a video player is not your idea of fun, you can well understand why a part of the artificial intelligence community is devoted to scientifically developing interfaces that are easy and pleasant to use, and that form an effective, and possibly seamless, link between the intelligent machine(s) and the human user(s).
Good Starting Places
Introduction to the Special Issue on Intelligent User Interfaces [Winter 2001]. By James Lester. AI Magazine 22(4): 13-14. "Recent years have witnessed significant progress in intelligent user interfaces. Emerging from the intersection of AI and human-computer interaction, research on intelligent user interfaces is experiencing a renaissance, both in the overall level of activity and in raw research achievements. Research on intelligent user interfaces exploits developments in a broad range of foundational AI work, ranging from knowledge representation and computational linguistics to planning and vision. Because intelligent user interfaces are designed to facilitate problem-solving activities where reasoning is shared between users and the machine, they are currently transitioning from the laboratory to applications in the workplace, home, and classroom."
Seven Aspects of Mixed-Initiative Reasoning: An Introduction to this Special Issue on Mixed-Initiative Assistants. By Gheorghe Tecuci, Mihai Boicu, and Michael T. Cox. AI Magazine 28(2): Summer 2007. "Mixed-initiative assistants are agents that interact seamlessly with humans to extend their problem-solving capabilities or provide new capabilities. Developing such agents requires the synergistic integration of many areas of AI, including knowledge representation, problem solving and planning, knowledge acquisition and learning, multiagent systems, discourse theory, and human-computer interaction. This paper introduces seven aspects of mixed-initiative reasoning (task, control, awareness, communication, personalization, architecture, and evaluation) and discusses them in the context of several state-of-the-art mixed-initiative assistants. The goal is to provide a framework for understanding and comparing existing mixed-initiative assistants and for developing general design principles and methods." Individual PDF files available:

With Kinect, Microsoft Aims for a Game Changer. NY Times, October 24, 2010. "Microsoft has one-upped Sony and Nintendo by eliminating game controllers and their often nightmarish bounty of buttons. Kinect peers out into a room, locks onto people and follows their motions. Players activate it with a wave of a hand, navigate menus with an arm swoosh and then run, jump, swing, duck, lunge, lean and dance to direct their on-screen avatars in each game. "
General Readings
Microsoft Predicts The Future With Vista's SuperFetch - SuperFetch, a feature within Vista, predicts which applications are used when, then pre-loads them so that they're instantly available. By Gregg Keizer. InformationWeek (January 19, 2007). "Microsoft Research contributed to the SuperFetch effort, a feature within Vista that predicts which applications are used when, then pre-loads them so that they're instantly available. 'As part of a long term set of projects, we want to teach the computer to learn from users to make the machine more proactive,' says Eric Horvitz, a principal researcher with Microsoft's R&D as well as the president-elect of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence. 'We want to use the system's idle time to make things punchier.' Horvitz and his colleagues developed the core algorithms that make up the predictive part of SuperFetch, the technology that plays Nostradamus for the operating system. ... Long-range, says Horvitz, he'd like to extend SuperFetch-like predicting to actions within individual applications"
Meet the Life Hackers. By Clive Thompson. The New York Times Magazine (October 16, 2005). " ... When you work next to other people, they can sense whether you're deeply immersed, panicking or relatively free and ready to talk - and they interrupt you accordingly. So why don't computers work this way? Instead of pinging us with e-mail and instant messages the second they arrive, our machines could store them up - to be delivered only at an optimum moment, when our brains are mostly relaxed. One afternoon I drove across the Microsoft campus to visit a man who is trying to achieve precisely that: a computer that can read your mind. His name is Eric Horvitz, and he is one of [Mary] Czerwinski's closest colleagues in the lab. For the last eight years, he has been building networks equipped with artificial intelligence (A.I.) that carefully observes a computer user's behavior and then tries to predict that sweet spot - the moment when the user will be mentally free and ready to be interrupted. Horvitz booted the system up to show me how it works. ... "
A Head For Detail - Gordon Bell feeds every piece of his life into a surrogate brain, and soon the rest of us will be able to do the same. But does perfect memory make you smarter, or just drive you nuts? By Clive Thompson. FastCompany.com (November 2006; Issue 110: Page 72). "Gordon Bell will never forget what I look like. He'll never forget what I sound like, either. Actually, he'll never forget a single detail about me. That's because when I first met the affable 72-year-old computer scientist at the offices of Microsoft Research Labs, in Redmond, Washington, he was carefully recording my every move. He had a tiny bug-eyed camera around his neck, and a small audio recorder at his elbow. As we chatted about various topics--Australian jazz musicians, his futuristic cell phone, the Seattle area's gorgeous weather--Bell's gear quietly logged my every gesture and all my blathering small talk, snapping a picture every 60 seconds. Back at his office, his computer had carefully archived every document related to me: all the email I'd sent him, copies of my articles he'd read, pages he'd surfed on my blog. ... For the past seven years, Bell has been conducting an audacious experiment in 'lifelogging'--creating a near-total digital record of his experience. His custom-designed software, 'MyLifeBits,' saves everything it can get its hands on. ... You could trace the notion of perfect recall back to 1945, when presidential science adviser Vannevar Bush published a provocative essay in The Atlantic Monthly entitled 'As We May Think.' ... Consider for a second how, precisely, we think. We use our memories all the time, of course, often by "active" remembering--scrolling through our minds to locate a tidbit. But much mental labor is passive. We think about something in the background, subconsciously letting a problem brew. Then we suddenly hit upon an interesting combination of things, a new way of thinking about a problem: the elusive, all-important epiphany. What if our computers had their own intelligence, and could do that background work for us? ... One of Bell's Microsoft allies is also investigating whether artificial intelligence could be used to find hidden patterns in memory. One day last summer, I visited Eric Horvitz, an expert in machine intelligence at the Research Labs, to see his 'Lifebrowser.' The Lifebrowser's goal is to automatically identify the most significant events in your life, so that when you scroll back through your history, it shows you only the most important highlights."
AI's Next Brain Wave. New research in artificial intelligence could lay the groundwork for computer systems that learn from their users and the world around them. Part four in The Future Of Software series. By Aaron Ricadela. InformationWeek (April 25, 2005). "Computer scientists at the Palo Alto Research Center also are trying to bring user interfaces to life by replacing raw information with material that selects itself based on what the computer thinks the user wants to know. PARC's user-interface group published a paper in January describing new software called ScentHighlights that helps users skim information by extracting key sentences from an electronic book, relevant to keywords a user types in or clicks on in the text. The system, based on a PARC theory called information scent, is part of an emerging class of user interfaces that react to what gets a user's attention, says Stuart Card, manager for user-interface research and a senior research fellow at PARC."
CMU's Brad Myers. Technology Research News Editor Eric Smalley carried out an email conversation with Carnegie Mellon University professor Brad Myers. (August 22, 2005). "Myers: Another area that I think is going to take off is intelligent interfaces, where the system actively tries to be helpful and learns from the user."
The Ghost in Your Machine - Computers may soon monitor your work, notice when fatigue sets in, and fix mistakes. BusinessWeek Online Reporter Olga Kharif interviews Chris Forsythe (August 25, 2003). "At their most benign, smart computers seem like executive secretaries for those of us who can't afford one -- offering tremendous advances in productivity. Yet some fear that the concept suggests an ominous encroachment out of a sci-fi movie. Cognitive psychologist Chris Forsythe, who leads the Sandia team, insists that the machines are designed to augment -- not replace -- human activity. 'We don't want to take the human out of the loop,' he says. ... Q: How would you characterize the current state of human-machine interaction? A: The biggest problem is that if you're the user, for the most part the technology doesn't know anything about you. The onus is on the user to learn and understand how the technology works. What we would like to do is reverse that equation so that it becomes the responsibility of the computer to learn about the user. The computer would have to learn what the user knows, what the user doesn't know, how the user performs everyday, common functions. It would also recognize when the user makes a mistake or doesn't understand something."
Agents that Reduce Work and Information Overload. By Pattie Maes (1994). A crisp summary of the CACM July 1994 (Vol. 37, No. 7, 31-40) article. An introduction to "interface agents [that] are computer programs that employ Artificial Intelligence techniques to provide active assistance to a user with computer-based tasks."
Designing for Human-Agent Interaction. By Michael Lewis. AI Magazine 19(2): Summer 1998, 1998, 67-78. "Interacting with a computer requires adopting some metaphor to guide our actions and expectations. Most human-computer interfaces can be classified according to two dominant metaphors: (1) agent and (2) environment. Interactions based on an agent metaphor treat the computer as an intermediary that responds to user requests. In the environment metaphor, a model of the task domain is presented for the user to interact with directly. The term agent has come to refer to the automation of aspects of human-computer interaction (HCI), such as anticipating commands or autonomously performing actions. Norman's 1984 model of HCI is introduced as reference to organize and evaluate research in human-agent interaction (HAI). A wide variety of heterogeneous research involving HAI is shown to reflect automation of one of the stages of action or evaluation within Norman's model. Improvements in HAI are expected to result from a more heterogeneous use of methods that target multiple stages simultaneously."
Squirrel helps with mobile calls. By Luke Alexander. BBC News (August 26, 2005). "There are few things more intrusive than a mobile phone ringtone. ... MIT research student Stefan Marti may have the answer: ditch your mobile phone, and get a squirrel. Specifically, an animatronic desktop squirrel which deals with your calls for you. The squirrel answers phone calls, works out if you are busy or asleep, evaluates how important the incoming call is and takes messages. When it wants to alert its owner to a call, it waves and moves about rather than making a sound. And, it is ridiculously cute. ... The key principle behind the Autonomous Interactive Intermediary (AII), or 'cellular squirrel', is that machines should display what psychologists call social or emotional intelligence. In other words, a computer should be able to communicate information in a way which is responsive to the social situations around it."
An Integrated Environment for Knowledge Acquisition. By Jim Blythe, Jihie Kim, Surya Ramachandran, Yolanda Gil. Information Sciences Institute, University of Southern California. Best Paper, International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces, 2001. Abstract: "This paper describes an integrated acquisition interface that includes several techniques previously developed to support users in various ways as they add new knowledge to an intelligent system. As a result of this integration, the individual techniques can take better advantage of the context in which they are invoked and provide stronger guidance to users. We describe the current implementation using examples from a travel planning domain, and demonstrate how users can add complex knowledge to the system."
Smart Graphics: Papers from the 2000 Spring Symposium, ed. Andreas Butz, Antonio Kr�ger, and Patrick Olivier. Technical Report SS-00-04. American Association for Artificial Intelligence, Menlo Park, California. "Advances in the field of computer graphics have made visual media a major ingredient of the modern interface and it is certain that graphics will play an increasingly important role in the way people communicate and interact with computers in the future. Smart Graphics is the interdisciplinary approach to the design, generation, presentation and interaction with 2D and 3D graphical interfaces in a manner that is sensitive to technological, computational and cognitive constraints. As an enterprise it relies on the synthesis of insights from graphic design, cognitive science, human-computer interaction, graphics and artificial intelligence, and the symposium aims to broker a multidisciplinary dialogue between these communities."
Generating Text from Compressed Input: An Intelligent Interface for People with Severe Motor Impairments. By Patrick W. Demasco and Kathleen F. McCoy. Appears in Communications of the ACM, May 1992, Vol. 35, No.5 (1992) and made available by one of the authors.
The Future of Computing. By Michael L. Dertouzos. Scientific American (August 1999). "To date, computer vendors have abused the phrase ease of use.' When they call a system user-friendly, it is tantamount to dressing a chimp in scrubs and earnestly parading it around as a surgeon. When I say "ease of use," I do not mean incorporating more colors and floating animals into our systems. I mean true ease of use, even if the interaction is only via text." <full text available for free only to subscribers>
The Love Machine - Building computers that care. By David Diamond. Wired Magazine (December 2003). "'I want computers to have emotions only to help them survive in the world, not as a way of responding to me,' says Don Norman, a professor of computer science at Northwestern and a computer interface expert. 'I'd rather have a machine that knows its place. Otherwise, you feel like it's a used-car salesman.'"
. CHI 2001 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (Seattle; April 2, 2001). "What I wanted to do today is share some of the projects that Microsoft is involved in that we hope will create new frontiers for human/computer interfaces. I also thought I could take some of my favorite Microsoft error messages and get your feedback, this is one I just got recently. I think it's fair to say that Microsoft has done good things in computer/human interface, and also done its fair share of bad things as well. And so we look forward to participating in the conference, and seeing what new things we can do. ... Today, the user is very much involved in moving the information around. Even as you go from Web site to Web site, the fact that you have to have different user names, different passwords, the fact that you have to resupply the same information again and again, the fact that that information, once you supply it, you have no idea how it's retained and how it's used. That represents a very significant problem."
Intelligent Human-Computer Interfaces. Lynette Hirschman, Guest Editor. The Edge (The MITRE Advanced Technology Newsletter, December 1999) Volume 3 Number 4. "This issue is devoted to intelligent human-computer interfaces -- interfaces that raise the computer to the human level, rather than requiring that the human adapt to the computer. An interface may be intelligent because it can communicate using human language, or because it performs intelligent functions, or because it adapts to a specific task and user. In all these cases, an intelligent interface makes interaction with the computer easier, more intuitive, and more flexible. The area of intelligent interfaces is just one facet of the broad area of human-computer interaction. Other important areas include graphical user interface design, usability, human factors, visualization, immersive environments, and intelligent tutoring systems."
When E-Mail Points the Way Down the Rabbit Hole. Essay by Kirk Johnson. The New York Times (September 2, 2004; no fee reg. req'd.). "The very basis of the spam wars is a search for better analysis of the way human beings think. ... Some theorists, like Professor [Sherry] Turkle at M.I.T., say the first real flash points of spam and human identity might come when our ever more sophisticated anti-spam programs start to understand us a little too well. ... 'As spam becomes more and more sophisticated, most people think your filter will be developed by a smart agent observing you carefully, so the question becomes, what kinds of information do people want their software agent to know?' Professor Turkle said."
Reflections on Challenges to the Goal of Invisible Computing. By Arun Kumar, Department of Philosophy of Technololgy,Institute for Philosophy, Dresden University of Technology, Germany. ACM Ubiquity (May 17 - 24, 2005; Volume 6, Issue 17). "We know that computers are complex beasts in their own right, but for all of their internal complexity computers are just as complicated in their embedding in the outside world, even though the complexity of this embedding is largely invisible to the people who design computers, and to people who make a living promoting their use. And it is possible that computers [fn] might have the power to change us even when we engage with them unconsciously, as when we relate to a tool through the performance of a skill like driving or typing."
Robots get friendly - Robots are acting more like people. Will our attachments eventually become too strong? By Gregory M. Lamb. The Christian Science Monitor (February 5, 2003). "Studies have shown that expectations are higher for such virtual people than, say, a faceless search engine like Google."
See Me, Hear Me . . . New computer interfaces may respond to gestures and speech. By Sharon Machlis. Computerworld (August 26, 2002). "Researchers working on new generations of interfaces are taking a pragmatic approach to how we'll interact with machines, adding support for text, speech, gaze, gesture and more, depending on circumstances and what seems to make sense. Ideally, tomorrow's computers will be better at anticipating what users want, without needing typed commands. This will involve 'context-aware' interfaces, according to Ted Selker, head of the context-aware computing research group at MIT's Media Lab. That might mean a Web application will be able to sense both your mouse and eye movements to determine whether you've visited a site before and what items most interest you -- and then dynamically generate a page based on those interests. By 2006, Selker says, 'the computer will know more about why you're doing what you're doing and what it can do to help you.' Speech-recognition software is already making inroads in telephone-based customer service applications."
A Case-Based Approach to Adaptive Information Filtering for the WWW. By Mauro Marinilli, Alessandro Micarelli and Filippo Sciarrone; Dipartimento di Informatica e Automazione Universita di Roma. "The system is based on a user modeling component, designed for building and maintaining long term models of individual Internet users. Presently the system acts as an intelligent interface for the Web search engines."
Emotionware. By Lynellen D.S. Perry (1996). ACM Crossroads Student Magazine. "The capability of displaying emotion seems to be a critical component of creating intelligent agents with whom humans can comfortably relate and communicate. The emotional aspect distinguishes a dead machine from an agent who is believable, alive, and trustworthy."
Persistent Assistants: Living and Working with AI: Papers from the 2005 Spring Symposium, ed. Daniel Shapiro, Pauline Berry, John Gersh,and Nathan Schurr. Technical Report SS-05-05. American Association for Artificial Intelligence, Menlo Park, California.
Conversations control computers. By Eric Smalley. Technology Research News (January 12/19, 2005). "Because information from spoken conversations is fleeting, people tend to record schedules and assignments as they discuss them. Entering notes into a computer, however, can be tedious -- especially when the act interrupts a conversation. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology are aiming to decrease day-to-day data entry and to augment users' memories with a method that allows handheld computers to harvest keywords from conversations and make use of relevant information without interrupting the personal interactions. ... The researchers' system protects privacy by only using speech from the user's side of the conversation, said [Kent] Lyons."
Citrine: Providing Intelligent Copy-and-Paste. By Jeffrey Stylos, Brad A. Myers and Andrew Faulring. ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, UIST'04; pages 185-188. Abstract: "We present Citrine, a system that extends the widespread copy-and-paste interaction technique with intelligent transformations, making it useful in more situations. Citrine uses text parsing to find the structure in copied text and allows users to paste the structured information, which might have many pieces, in a single paste operation. ..."
What is an Intelligent Interface? Notes from an introduction seminar, March 1997. By Annika Waern, groupleader of, and researcher in, the Human - Computer Interaction and Language Engineering (HUMLE) Group at the Sweedish Institute of Computer Science. "The main application areas for intelligent interfaces are thus such where the knowledge about how to solve a task partially resides with the computer system. Since the user does not know exactly what should be done, he or she cannot manipulate the computer as a tool, but must ask the system to do something for him or her. This request may be incomplete, vague or even incorrect given the user's real needs. Some typical application areas that can be characterised this way are Intelligent tutoring, intelligent help and information filtering."
Reflective Interfaces: a video of Dan Weld's talk at CSE Colloquia - 2005, The University of Washington Computer Science & Engineering Colloquium Series, available from the ResearchChannel ("a non-profit organization founded in 1996 by a consortium of leading research universities, institutions and corporate research centers dedicated to creating a widely accessible voice for research through video and Internet channels").
The Role of Intelligent Systems in the National Information Infrastructure. An American Association for Artificial Intelligence Policy Report. Edited by Daniel S. Weld, University of Washington. Excerpt from (2.1) Intelligent Interfaces: "The gap between current tools and the NII's human-computer communication demands leads to a crucial challenge: providing intelligent interfaces to resources so that people can use the NII without difficulty. ... To be called 'intelligent,' it must satisfy several interrelated criteria: Integrated ... Expressive ... Goal oriented ... Cooperative ... Customized.
Bringing Design to Software. Edited by Terry Winograd. (Addison-Wesley. 1996) "The book contains essays contributed by prominent software and design professionals, interviews with experts, and profiles of successful projects and products. These elements are woven together to illuminate what design is, to identify the common core of practices in every design field, and to show how software builders can apply these common practices to produce software that is more effective, more appropriate, and more satisfying for users." Many sections of the book are available online, including Winograd's Introduction.

"We are developing autonomous agents that are capable of having a real-time face-to-face conversation with a human. These agents are human in form and communicate using both verbal and non-verbal modalities. We believe that such agents provide a new form of human-computer interface which users can interact with naturally, without training, since they already know how to engage in face-to-face conversation with other people."
Emotionally Intelligent Interfaces. From the Rainbow Research Group at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. "Facial displays are an important channel for the expression of emotions and are often thought of as projections or 'read out' of a person�s mental state. Our research objective is to develop emotionally intelligent interfaces that make use of this readily available input modality to adapt and respond to its user."

"HML researchers at Queen's University's School of Computing are addressing the problem of the barrage of messages people receive from large numbers of digital appliances. Their Attentive User Interface (AUI) is a new paradigm for interacting with groups of computers that moves beyond the traditional desktop interface. Current computers are generally designed to act in isolation, without considering what the user is doing before producing distracting interruptions. As a result, today�s user has trouble keeping up with volumes of e-mail, instant messages, phone calls and appointment notifications. 'Today�s digital lifestyle has the unfortunate side effect of bombarding people with messages from many devices all the time, regardless of whether they�re willing, or able to respond,' says HML director Dr. Roel Vertegaal. 'Like spam [unsolicited e-mail], this problem needs to be addressed.' The HML team is designing devices that determine the level of user attention and the importance of each message relative to what the user is doing. Then the computer decides whether to 'take a turn' to deliver the message." - from Researchers invent computers that �pay attention� to users. Queen's News Centre (April 1, 2003).

Central to the notion of relationship is that it is a persistent construct, spanning multiple interactions, thus Relational Agents are explicitly designed to remember past history and manage future expectations in their interactions with users."

"[R]esearchers in a project called STIMULATE are developing systems that mimic other forms of communication that humans use to interact with each other, including eye contact, touch and voice. The experimental hardware and software may find uses in medicine, the military and other fields that could benefit from more natural forms of human-computer interaction across distributed networks."

I mean no disrespect to Kay Foxx, but Miss Info should be a permanent member of the show.
i agree. once her contract is up, miss info should take her spot.
she's open minded and her news isn't all about black people. i'm
not trying to sound racist, i'm just saying. at the same time i
understand she is on the show to provoke, which is good for radio
and entertainment. but k foxx has to go!!! good look on the juan
ep. with tom green.
i say add miss info to the roster and make it a full morning show.. hot wont do that though to scared
Miss Info is such a better co-host then Kfoxx. No disrespect intended.
The issue I have with K Foxx is that she reports false information, or she simply reads information from unreliable websites and attempts to pass it as factual. Many times Cipha or PR will ask follow-up questions about the story, and K Foxx will not be able to respond because she just mails in her segment.
At least Miss Info is competent and can coherently report a news story. But then again, it is just a gossip report.
I still enjoy the show, it helps me pass an hour at work; but I think the quality of the show has declined since you guys first went on the air. It seems like you pander more to relationships and race relations because some higher up is telling you that it will boost ratings. I miss the old format where you guys told entertaining stories and antidotes… remember GOAT Tuesdays, Video Vato, etc.? Even the various theme songs from Stan Ipcus and Daytona were dropped.
hot 97s thought are just to segway to the next ADVERTISEMENT or song… so… yeah thats all i got
^^ The show was dope with that girl NJ.
I guess the lesson to take home here is BRING BACK JEWY, LUIS, AND THE NEWS and drop the flashing lights report.
So a Black, Puerto Rican, & a Jew walk into a bar, and have a meaningful conversation on race relations.
The imperfections that occur while striving perfection are what make the show entertaining. Rosenberg F's up just as much as k foxx though in diff ways. Lateness, not having his news ready, irrelevant stories… Ciph can be overly sensitive. Even Shaunie f's up on the boards. Rosenberg talks crazy sometimes. And yes Foxx is mad bias if not racist. All of that makes for a pretty entertaining and unpredictable show. They sound like real people to me. Not ur generic radio guys
That's why I get nervous when I go on vacation…
Don't want someone else to do my job, better than I..
But on the real… Foxx.. I would be nervous. right now :)
I think PR and Foxx.. are really lovers on the low…:)
They fight too much over bulls-hit…
Thanks for the shows, Ciph. This week was most enjoyable without K Foxx.
i disagree with all the bad talk about kfoxx, no disrespect to miss info but there is a space for everyone miss info is good with her celebrtity drama but kfoxx is perfect for the morning show so keep doing your thing kayfoxx,.

Northwestern State falls to No. 2 LSU 49-3
BATON ROUGE, La. At least Northwestern State didn't get shut out again.
John Shaughnessy's 44-yard field goal, which glanced through off the left upright, had the Demons as close as 7-3 against LSU on Saturday night and marked the first time in 11 meetings that they'd ever scored a point on the Tigers.
Not much went right after that in a 49-3 loss to the second-ranked Tigers, but Demons coach Bradley Dale Peveto didn't regret bringing his overmatched team to Tiger Stadium, where he had served as an LSU assistant under Les Miles for four seasons.
"Our team got to come in here and experience Tiger Stadium, experience the crowd, the adrenaline and big-time Southeastern Conference football. That is quite an honor," Peveto said. "We wanted to come in here and call the game aggressive, play aggressive and lay it all on the line, and we did that."
Peveto said there were moments when his team looked as though it belonged, and others when it didn't. The statistics indicated more of the latter. The Demons were held to minus-4 yards rushing. Brad Henderson, who led Northwestern State to a comeback victory over Delta State a week earlier, was scrambling often and had trouble finding receivers with much consistency, finishing 16 of 26 for 74 yards and an interception.
Demons tight end Justin Aldredge caught seven passes for 58 yards, including a 25-yard reception from backup quarterback Don Canyon on a fake punt.
"You play a great team like that and most guys don't make it out of here healthy," Henderson said. "We played solid. We kept turnovers to a minimum, LSU just has a great defense."
Miles had demanded that his team take Northwestern State (1-1) seriously and hoped it would win impressively enough that he could rest starters who will be playing a tougher opponent in less than a week.
The Tigers didn't disappoint him.
"I like how our team approached this game," Miles said. "It's nice. It means that your starters were not taxed. It means you should be fresh, and as we go into a short week, that's key."
LSU (2-0) led 28-3 by halftime, allowing Miles to give a number of starters some rest in advance of the Tigers' Southeastern Conference opener at Mississippi State on Thursday night.
Junior college transfer quarterback Zach Mettenberger made his debut in relief of LSU starter Jarrett Lee to open the second half.
After Lee completed 9 of 10 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown, Mettenberger went 8 of 11 for 92 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown pass.
"He did good," Miles said. "He came in, got comfortable, made some nice throws. I felt like he handled the offense well."
LSU fans have been eager to see the 6-foot-5, 222-pound Mettenberger play since his arrival last January from Butler Community College in Kansas, where he passed for 2,678 yards and 32 touchdowns last season.
"It was a great experience and I'm looking forward to a lot more here," Mettenberger said.

Lama Rimawi, M.D. is more than a pediatrician, she's also the mom of a child with multiple food allergies. To help other moms find healthy delicious allergen-free food, she started Tasterie. Tasterie is a delivery service that ships products right to your door, so that you can sample foods that meet your family's special diet needs. They offer boxes for $15 (SnackBox) or $20 (SignatureBox) per month. Plus, you can choose the sample foods you receive based on your dietary needs. Tasterie offers allergy-friendly food boxes for:
I liked the concept so much that I accepted Dr. Rimawi's invitation to be on the advisory panel for Tasterie. The first trial box of sample foods that I received in June was gorgeous and adorable! I loved the customized recipe cards (to fit the products in the box) and the care with which everything was packaged.
The products were obviously selected with care and showed good range. There were both sweet and savory sample foods, and I even found a couple new-to-me products in the bunch (which isn't easy to do with this dairy-free researching diva!).
I was actually a bit surprised by the value of this service. The shipping is included, and typically a half a dozen sample products are in each box. I think this is a fantastic way to trial new products and discover some favorites.
For July, the dairy-free box included the following allergy-friendly sample foods …
As a final note, the boxes are definitely attractive enough to give as a gift. You can sign up a friend or loved one when they or their little one has been diagnosed with food allergies or intolerances. I'm sure they would LOVE to receive a pretty box full of sample foods. I know I would have!
Thanks for this review! I can't wait for my box to arrive : )

terminological matter, but defining "long-termer" in this way does have unsatisfactory aspects. It leaves as undefined women who have large numbers of spells but a modest level of T, for example, who do not fall into any category. Moreover, the literal interpretation of the verb "to cycle" implies a definition based purely on turnover rates and numbers of spells, not a total-time-on definition; hence it makes more sense in terms of language to let T be an outcome of a turnover definition of cycling, not as a definitional characteristic. One could stick with a T-defined classification scheme by parceling out cyclers to the long-termer and short-termer groups by saying that there are two types of cyclers—those with high T, whom we will call long-termers, and those with modest T, who will be called short-termers. But in this case, the latter group is lumped in with the more conventional short-termers with low turnover rates. The consequence would be that one would move from a definitional scheme that allows cyclers to be a heterogeneous group to one that allows long-termers and short-termers to each be heterogeneous, which would not appear to be a gain in terms of clarity. Alternatively, one could move to a classification scheme that has more than three groups, but then simplicity begins to be lost.
For all these reasons, we will use the three-fold classification based solely on N and L. However, we will examine the heterogeneity of the cycler group by examining their distributions of T and compare the different subgroups of cyclers so defined to short-termers and long-termers.
There is surprisingly little evidence in the literature on the characteristics of individuals with different turnover rates and overall spell patterns, or on how groups of individuals defined by long-termer, short-termer, and cycler status differ by characteristics. The vast majority of studies of welfare dynamics present estimates of the determinants of exit from welfare spells or entry onto welfare or, sometimes, of rates of reentry onto welfare after an exit. These econometric models are not set up to distinguish the determinants of turnover per se from the determinants of total-time-on because they impose a restrictive relationship between the effects of the independent variables on turnover rates, total-time-on, and spell lengths. For example, it would not be possible in these models to find that some variable for labor market potential (e.g., mean potential earnings off welfare) could differ between short-termers and cyclers but not between cyclers and long-termers, to take one case. To distinguish these, a more sophisticated statistical specification would be required. Alternatively, and as a first step, it is more natural to simply examine the characteristics of individual recipients as ranked by their turnover rates, total-time-on, and spell lengths, or by their classification into short-termers, long-termers, or cyclers, as is done in this chapter.
A few recent studies have already attempted this, however. Stevens (2000: Table 4), in a study using administrative data from Maryland, found earn-

Gianna Marino - Too Tall Houses
In Too Tall Houses ($16.99), Owl and Rabbit are good friends and neighbors and live happily in two small houses next to each other.... until Rabbit's garden grows a little too tall and blocks Owl's view. Now Owl isn't so happy. Maybe building a bigger house will solve the problem. But now Rabbit isn't happy. Maybe building HIS house taller will be the solution. And before long, there are two very tall houses and two very unhappy neighbors. What till it take to make them friends again?
Gianna Marino, creator of Meet Me at the Moon, has written a modern-day fable that friends of all ages will relate to, because being good friends has its ups, its downs, and everything in between.
Gianna Marino has been creating art since she could hold a brush. Her varied talents have lead her through toy design, mural painting and more recently to the portfolios of work below. From fine art grand-scale custom paintings to playful and entertaining children's book illustrations, there is a world of color and magic in Gianna's paintings.

Ericka ~ Do you have a recipe for Haupia Malasadas? Or perhaps a link to one?
Aunty ~ When you wrote to ask for a recipe for haupia malasadas, I assumed you meant malasadas with haupia filling? Those, along with malasadas filled with guava or passion fruit (lilikoi) jelly are my current favorites.
Here are a couple of malasadas recipes. The first one is made with premade chilled biscuit dough in a cardboard roll, which is the easiest.
This other recipe makes a malasadas dough from scratch and uses yeast.
Once the malasadas have been fried up, toss them into a paper bag with some granulated sugar (add some cinnamon for variety).
Then using a cake decorating tip or the end of a small paring knife, make a small hole in one end of the malasadas, and pipe in some haupia filling.
One other way to make the malasadas is to find a box of Café du Monde Beignet Mix (from New Orleans), which many of the larger supermarkets all over the place carry. All you have to do is add water and fry the dough up. Beignets are very similar to malasadas.
If you want to make malasadas that taste like haupia but without the filling, replace the evaporated milk in the "from scratch" malasadas recipe with canned coconut milk. Add some toasted, shredded coconut to the paper bag with the sugar in it, shake and serve hot. Another delightful variation of something most keiki in Hawai'i have as an afterschool snack or at the fair or carnival.
