Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
It's difficult to get too worked up about whether all the rules that Congress passed to prevent financial Armageddon are working, considering that we went through a crisis of epic proportions despite the voluminous laws on the books. It isn't as if the rules have protected against global economic risks, which are more on the minds of companies than ever.
While they face more uncertainty about the global and domestic economies, companies are increasingly preoccupied with weighty and time-consuming regulatory reports meant to protect the financial world from itself.
Fear-Based: Dow 30 companies are concerned about how uncertainty on the global economic landscape will affect them. William Waitzman for Barron's
Indeed, a recent report from Intelligize, New York, a financial-reporting and compliance software outfit, found that uncertainty about the future global economic landscape and burdensome reporting rules were among the top concerns of blue-chip companies. The average length of reports routinely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average has more than doubled in the past 10 years. Those companies' annual 10-K reports now weigh in at an average of 110 pages, compared with 45 pages 10 years ago, when legislators tried to respond to accounting shenanigans by the likes of Enron with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Proxy statements, which once numbered 35 pages, are about 80 pages and are on track to eclipse annual reports.
Intelligize measured the data after hearing anecdotes from customers about how burdensome the reports were becoming. Also high on the list of concerns: the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, government spending, disaster preparedness, and new disclosure rules—some investor-driven, on executive pay.
Next Week: Review
A Mixed Bag
Nonfarm payrolls rose by 157,000 in January, and the jobless rate ticked up one-tenth of a percentage point, to 7.9%. Results in the prior two months were revised up by a total of 127,000. The report reinforced the view that the Fed's asset-purchase program would continue.
Ugly Surprise
Fourth-quarter gross domestic product contracted 0.1%, its first such move in more than three years. The surprising result, well below market expectations, was attributed to a drop in defense spending and slower inventory gain. But MFR's chief U.S. economist said the underlying tone was "substantially better" than the headline, and that GDP growth would trend at about 2%.
Pause That Refreshes?
The Fed said it would hold steady on its monthly $85 billion purchases of bonds to stimulate the economy, though it predicted employment would keep improving at a modest pace. The U.S. central bank said growth in economic activity "paused" in recent months, largely because of "weather-related disruptions and other transitory factors."
The euro rose to 1.3642 against the U.S. dollar, a 14-month high, amid news of lower European Central Bank allotments at its three-month refinancing operations. The single currency rose despite comments by a French minister that France was "totally bankrupt."
Middle East Tensions Rise
Syria and its allies condemned an airstrike inside its borders that was widely attributed to Israel, but didn't indicate any immediate retaliation. Reports said the strike was aimed at missile-laden trucks bound for Hezbollah. Egypt's army head warned the state was on the verge of collapse. A suicide bomber attacked the U.S. Embassy in Turkey.

Gear Review
Nick Chmura
heavy down sweater
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
When I first got this in the mail I was a bit worried how light it was - I was planning on taking it as a puffy up Illniza Norte, Cotopaxi, and Chimborazo in Ecuador. It looks and feels more like a heavy sweater or mid layer jacket rather than a huge puffy. But it kept me warm when we took a break, it is super light and compresses to where it takes up almost no weight in your pack. It was fine for my trip (I also had a heavy gore-tex NF shell and a fleece) but if I was going up to Alaska, I would probably want something heavier. With that said, the price is awesome and I will definitely continue using it. not disappointed with my purchase!!

Thanks, Tuc
Re: Trying to use NVIDIA drivers
You need to go the nvidia web site and download the nvidia driver.
I've used the latest one (100.14.19) for freeBSD.
I have one pc and and one laptop with freeBSD 6.2 RC2 without any problem. Both has ATI card on it. I have an HP laptop with 2 Duo Core that has nvidia card. Download the nvidia driver, reboot, and run nvidia-xconfig. But you need to install compat5x prior to installing your nvidia driver.

Must have been a software issue somewhere.
Can't connect to camera

Must have been a software issue somewhere.
- 0
Posted 01 August 2014 - 10:55 AM
I've recently had this issue too - not sure how it started, can't recall doing anything different - although I do have stuff updating automatically so something might have changed without me realising it.
I've had the phone since Nov 2012, so only a few months away from an upgrade anyway so I probably won't bother fixing it, just wait for the upgrade.
I have had other issues with the camera - I bought a phone case, with a clip on the top, and the metal studs holding the clip are in the same place as the camera lense - after a few weeks the photos were getting blurred and I realised the screen was scratched too - where the metal stud on the phone case was rubbing the screen and the lens. I had to buy a new back for the camera off ebay - and put the phone in the case upside down as a work around, but not ideal
I've taken the back off, and the square camera module does appear to be rather looser than I would think is sensible so maybe it's a disconnected wire somewhere.

Same i have had this problem. I have tried the method nebeel suggested but doesnt work. So i pulled the back cover over and tried adjusting to no avail. However when i physically lift the camera lens up (facing the ceiling) it works!!! But thne back cover then cannot close. If i then push the lens down the camera Image lags and eventually "cannot conect to camera". Any suggestions?
I have warranty so worse comes to worse send for repair

Bublimotin, Bubli Motin, Bublimating or Ladyfinger Peak, is a distinctive rock spire in the Batura Muztagh, the westernmost subrange of the Karakoram range in Pakistan. It lies on the southwest ridge of the Ultar Sar massif, the most southeasterly of the major groups of the Batura Muztagh. The whole massif rises precipitously above the Hunza Valley to the southeast. Bublimotin, while having little prominence above the saddle with nearby Hunza Peak, is particularly notable for being a sharp, relatively snowless rock spire among snow peaks. This, combined with its height above the valley, makes it quite eye-catching; hence the distinctive name. It provides a 600 m (1830 ft) rock climb (with a very serious alpine approach) and has been the scene of some notable paragliding.

Stakes high for final weeks of season
Updated: February 19, 2010, 10:42 AM ETBy Mike Eidelbes and Joe Gladziszewski | Inside College Hockey
Depending on the league in which your favorite team resides, this is either the penultimate or antepenultimate weekend of the regular season (a reader pointed out the word "antepenultimate", which means third to the last, to us a few years ago and now we use it whenever possible). Regardless of what that word means, we can tell you that the final few weekends of the college hockey regular season are the definition of high stakes -- which is a lot more fun when you're watching and not holding the ...

Critical Review by Julian Mitchell
SOURCE: "Horrorshow on Amis Avenue," in The Spectator, Vol. 95, No. 6986, May 18, 1962, pp. 661-62.
Mitchell is an English novelist, playwright, and critic. In the following positive review, he lauds A Clockwork Orange as a brilliant mixture of horror and farce, calling Burgess's use of language an "extraordinary technical feat."
Anthony Burgess must have garnered some excellent reviews in his short, busy writing career (A Clockwork Orange is his eighth novel since 1956). No one can match his skill at anguished farce about the end of empire. His characters seem to be trapped in a tent whose pole has just been sawn in two by an over-enthusiastic administrator doing his part in a campaign to save wood. It is hilarious to watch their frantic heaving and humping beneath the spoiled canvas, to hear their absurd multilingual pidgin groans. But as we wipe away our tears of laughter, we notice that someone has just thrown petrol over the collapsed and writhing tent: frozen with horror, we see him strike a match.
If Mr. Burgess is, in some ways, a pupil of Mr. Waugh, he yet has an originality of manner and subject which place him, to my mind, among the best writers in England. Yet he has never received the critical attention granted to Angus Wilson and Kingsley Amis, with whom at least he deserves to rank. Certainly his prose is more attractive than either's, and he is prepared to take risks which they are not. And if his novels seem rather hollow and heartless at times, from a tendency to move his characters about to illustrate his points instead of letting the characters find their own way to making them, the points are major ones about our times.
A Clockwork Orange is set in the future, in an England where the streets are called things like Amis Avenue. It is narrated by Alex, a beguiling adolescent gang-leader with ultra-violent tendencies and a passion for classical music, in a teenage slang which takes a few pages to grasp. A splendid slang it is, though, full of stuff like 'yarbles' and 'profound shooms of lip-music brrrrrr' and 'droog.' The key praise-word is 'horrorshow,' for Alex's world is horrible and sadistic, and he is one of the toughest juvenile delinquents one could hope to meet. Very properly gaoled for killing a cat-loving old lady, Alex is subjected to a new cure for criminals, similar to that for alcoholics: he becomes sick and faint at the thought of violence or the sound of classic music (connected by him with violence). Released, he finds himself the victim of the entire world, at the mercy of policemen, old professors and politicians. His responses are no longer his own.
Mixing horror with farce in his inimitable manner, Mr. Burgess develops his theme brilliantly, though there is a certain arbitrariness about the plot which is slightly irritating and I find it difficult to accept the contention that being young is like being a clockwork toy—you walk into things all the time. But the language is an extraordinary technical feat, and the whole conception vigorously exhibits Mr. Burgess's great imaginative gifts. No doubt ignorant and anonymous reviewers will criticise him for 'experimenting' (as John Wain was recently and absurdly criticised): they will be merely exhibiting their ignorance and anonymity. Mr. Burgess is far too good and important a writer not to go in any direction he chooses.

Described is a technology by which blocks of web pages may be selected, such as for building a user-personalized web page containing selected blocks. A selection mechanism, such as a browser toolbar add-on, provides a user interface for selecting blocks, and records information about selected blocks. A block tracking mechanism (e.g., a daemon program) uses the information to locate selected blocks of the web pages, including when the web page containing the block is updated with respect to content and/or layout. The block tracking mechanism may update a local gadget that when invoked, such as by browsing to a particular web page, which shows updated versions of the block on a personalized web page.

Web users often save shortcuts to their pages on the web for convenient reuse. A conventional way to save shortcuts is to use one or more "Favorites" folders to organize URLs of interest for quickly locating the page. Some tools have been developed to help users organize their shortcuts.
Many users may only be interested in a part of a web page instead of the whole page. For example, personalized homepage applications enable web users to select web content of interest and to customize layouts and visual styles, such as to show customized stock prices, weather, searches and email messages.
However, it is a complex matter to define such content of interest and to maintain the information in it. Service providers often analyze the behavior of large quantities of users to get some information of interest. Intensive efforts are then involved to organize the information. Moreover, some information such as news and blogs is often frequently updated, which make the maintenance of such content blocks difficult.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of representative concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used in any way that would limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Briefly, various aspects of the subject matter described herein are directed towards a technology by which a block selection mechanism provides a user interface for selecting a block of a web page, for which information is recorded when selected. A block tracking mechanism locates the selected block on the web page based on the information, including when the block is updated on an updated version of the web page with respect to content or layout, or both content and layout.
In one example, the block selection mechanism may be activated in response to user interaction with a browser toolbar, and the block tracking mechanism comprises a daemon program that automatically tracks the selected block. For example, the block tracking mechanism may update a gadget comprising a local component on a user computing device, and when the gadget is invoked, such as by browsing to a particular web page, an updated version of the block may be shown on a personalized web page containing the selected block.
In one example, the information corresponding to a selected block of a web page is recorded and used to track the selected block for updates, including locating the block. This may be accomplished by processing a data structure corresponding to an updated version of a web page and a data structure corresponding to a previous version of the web page. For example, the updated web page may be parsed into a data structure (e.g., domain object model tree), and transformed into a labeled tree. The labeled tree may then be processed to find fix nodes (nodes with both a tag and attributes that are immutable in the two trees), and the fix nodes pruned from the trees to generate reduce trees. The block may be located by performing a minimum distance mapping algorithm on the reduced trees.
Other advantages may become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limited in the accompanying figures in which like reference numerals indicate similar elements and in which:
Various aspects of the technology described herein are generally directed towards the collection of selected web content blocks from existing web pages by web users. A user's collected web blocks may be organized into a single personalized homepage. One example system and method described herein displays the collected web blocks, and tracks the blocks so as to automatically update their content based on changes to the corresponding web pages.
As will be understood, some of the examples herein are directed towards an example implementation in which users may employ a gadget, comprising a small software program, to arrange different kinds of web page blocks on a single page. In the examples, the gadget operates in conjunction with a block tracking mechanism that tracks the content blocks on web pages.
However, as will be understood, the various aspects of the technology described herein are independent of any particular components. Indeed, any component or set of components may employ the mechanisms described herein. As such, the present invention is not limited to any particular embodiments, aspects, concepts, protocols, formats, structures, functionalities or examples described herein. Rather, any of the embodiments, aspects, concepts, protocols, formats, structures, functionalities or examples described herein are non-limiting, and the present invention may be used various ways that provide benefits and advantages in computing and web content processing in general.
Turning to
For example, in one implementation, the block tracking mechanism 108 comprises a daemon program which tracks web page blocks according to the information recorded by the browser toolbar tool 104; whenever the block tracking mechanism 108 finds a change, it updates a personalized page rendering program 110 (e.g., a gadget comprising "url.html" and "block.html" pages of an internet information service) as described below. Then, when the personalized page rendering program 110 is triggered in some way, such as by visiting a particular website (e.g., http://www.live.com), the personalized page rendering program 110 is responsible for showing the tracked block or blocks in a personalized page 112.
As generally represented in
For example, to collect the blocks, a manual block marking tool may be provided as part of the user interface tool 104. When browsing the Internet 114, a web page 116 is rendered and also parsed into a DOM (domain object model) tree 118. Each content block (e.g., 120) in the web page is mapped to a node (e.g., 122) that represents that block in the DOM tree 118. In general, while the user uses the tool 104 to interact with the rendered web page 116 to select a block (corresponding to one or more nodes in the tree), the tool 104 navigates the corresponding nodes in the DOM tree 118.
In one example, the tool 104 enables the user to target a block for selection, such as by operating a pointing device in various ways to interact with the rendered web age 116. For example, the user may control a mouse (e.g., move a cursor) relative to the rendered web page to target a block, with the targeted block visibly indicated as marked in some way, e.g., marked by a red rectangle; (note that as represented in the black-and-white image of
As represented in
After the target block is confirmed for selection, e.g., by double-clicking the mouse, the user can drag or otherwise enter the selected block into a representation of the personalized page 112 (
In one example implementation, a website allows users to display the blocks that were collected and organized from different web pages in a single rendering comprising the personalized page 112. For example, a user may visit a web page (e.g., "Homepage Live") that is composed of the user's blocks from different sites. In contrast to identifying a web page via its URL, the system provides a way for users to mark web page blocks. The system helps users outline the blocks they want from web pages, and tracks them.
As described below, when a user re-opens the system, the system automatically accesses these web pages, detects the blocks' positions in the pages by an efficient block tracking mechanism 108, and presents extracted real time content to the user. For example, the block tracking mechanism 108 analyzes the original pages and the new pages. The block tracking mechanism 108 may detect new block positions in the updated pages, and present the extracted new blocks to the user. By way of example as represented in
Turning to the various aspects related to tracking content blocks, such tracking is a challenging problem because web pages may be frequently updated. For example, a news portal may be updated on an average of once every half hour. Moreover, not only may content be changed (inserted and/or removed), but the layout of the web page may also change frequently.
Thus, to track the block, the block tracking mechanism 108 needs to do more than simply record the visual position and size of the block, because content and layout may be changed. More particularly, given a web page and a user's target block, a corresponding block needs to be located in the modified page, where "corresponding block" refers to a relationship between the users' target block in the changed page and its original version.
In one example implementation, the Web page DOM (domain object model) tree structure 118 is used to track each selected block. By parsing a web page into a DOM tree 118, each block to be tracked is represented as a sub-tree. In this manner, the block tracking mechanism 108 identifies a certain sub-tree in any updated DOM tree for a new page. When the pages are updated, the block tracking mechanism 108 automatically locates the marked blocks and may show the new version to the users.
One way to identify a particular block within a DOM tree is by comparing the sub-trees, one by one, through a generalized tree edit distance algorithm. However, note that the time complexity of such an algorithm is O(N2D2), where N is the node number of the whole tree and D is the maximum child number of nodes in the whole tree. It is thus very time-consuming to trace several blocks simultaneously, particularly when blocks from some very large web pages are being tracked.
However, because the technology described herein tracks each block in sequential web pages, there may be some nodes with unchanged attributes, which may be leveraged to provide more efficient identification. To this end, an enhanced edit distance algorithm utilizes such information.
More particularly, nodes having their attributes in two sequential trees are indexed, with a fast matching algorithm used to find common nodes in the two trees. The two trees are then pruned into reduced trees, and a tree edit distance applied algorithm on the reduced trees. The time cost for such a mechanism is O(N log N+N′2D′2), in which N′ and D′ are (in general) significantly smaller than the original N and D set forth above.
As described above, the layout and content of a page may be represented by a DOM tree. Each HTML page corresponds to a DOM tree, in which tags are represented as internal nodes, while text, images, hyperlinks and the like are represented as the leaf nodes.
Given a DOM tree To and its sub-tree Bo, when To has been updated to Te, a significant problem is to locate the changed (evolved) block Be in Te that corresponds to Bo. Be should be unique, if it exists. The node number of a web page may range from several hundred to several thousand, (and in one measurement set averaged 1,171). On average in example measurements, the structure and contents varied 11.4 percent and 81.7 percent hourly, with the variation accumulated to 34.0 percent and 88.5 percent, respectively, (where structure variation stands for the percentage of deleted, newly added and tag-updated nodes over all the nodes, while the contents variation stands for the percentage of content-updated nodes over all the nodes). As can be readily appreciated, a large portion of a page's structure and most of its content may be changed during web page evolution; there is thus a large diversity of web pages and significant changes during a web page's evolution.
Simple solutions such as direct path finding, tag string matching, and string edit distance are inadequate. Direct path finding (which records the tags on the path from the root node of To to the root node of Bo and looks for different tags on the updated page's path) cannot deal with the problem of block position changing. Tag string matching (which encodes Bo by the tag sequence of its preorder traversal and compares the original tag sequence with the tag sequence of every sub-tree of Te) often fails because there may be several blocks that are similar to the original one; further, it flattens the tree structure into a sequence and thereby loses useful information which significantly decreases the precision. String edit distance is not suitable for this problem as it does not consider the tree structure.
The various aspects described herein use the tree structure and labeled tree mapping for block tracking. Through the mapping between the DOM trees of pages, the corresponding set of nodes between two trees is obtained.
To this end, as used herein, a "labeled tree" is a tree having a label attached to each of its nodes. A DOM tree of a web page may be transformed into a labeled tree by regarding its tags as labels. Then, if T[i] is the ith node of a labeled tree T in a preorder walk, and l[r] is the label of node r, a mapping M between two labeled trees T and T′ is a set of pairs (i, j), one from each tree, satisfying the following conditions for all (i1, j1), (i2, j2)εM:
(1) i1=i2 if j1=j2;
(2) T[i1] is an ancestor of T[i2] if T′[j1] is an ancestor of T′[j2].
(3) l[T[i1]]=l[T′[j1]], l[T[i2]]=l[T′[j2]]
As can be seen, the above conditions require that each node cannot appear more than once in a mapping. The hierarchical relation among the nodes is also preserved. There are typically many possible mappings that can be computed between two labeled trees. To evaluate the mapping quality, an edit distance mechanism is used.
More particularly, the edit distance between two trees T and T′ is the number of unmapped nodes in the two trees. In this example, edit distance differs from that described above because edit distance reflects the cost associated with the minimal set of operations required to transform T into T′. By finding a mapping with a minimum edit distance, the evolved block may be attained.
Although finding such a mapping between labeled trees is an NP-Complete problem, the mapping finding problem can be solved efficiently by a restriction on the order of nodes. Note that elements of web page DOM trees are ordered, where an ordered tree is a tree with the children of each node ordered.
If T[i] is the ith node of an ordered labeled tree T in a preorder walk, and l[r] is the label of a node r, a mapping M between an ordered labeled tree T of size n1 and an ordered labeled tree T′ of size n2 is a set of pairs (i, j), one from each tree, satisfying the following conditions for all (i1, j1), (i2, j2)εM:
(1) i1=i2 if j1=j2;
(2) T[i1] is an ancestor of T[i2] if T′[j1] is an ancestor of T′[j2].
(3) l[T[i1]]=l[T′[j1]], l[T[i2]]=l[T′[j2]]
(4) T[i1] is on the left of T[i2] if T′[j1] is on the left of T′[j2].
The order between sibling nodes is preserved in the mapping of ordered labeled trees as a supplement of the preservation of the hierarchical relationships.
The tree mapping algorithm minimizes the edit distance between the new DOM tree and the original one, in order to find a target node in the new tree. If t and t′ are the root nodes of trees T and T′, respectively, n(T) stands for the number of nodes in T. The edit distance is recursively accumulated by the number of unmapped nodes in the two trees as follows:
Condition 1: For the nodes in T that are not mapped to a node in T′:
The edit distance Dis(T,T′) is well defined recursively. This algorithm, set forth in the table below, calculates the minimum edit distance. A counterpart mapping can be use a similar process.
A drawback to the above algorithm is its high computational cost with full tree processing. The time complexity of this algorithm is O(N2D2), where N is max(n(T),n(T′)) and D is maximum children number of tree nodes. Given contemporary processing power and web pages, users may need to wait on the order of minutes to get the mapping results for large web pages.
To reduce the computational time, an aspect referred to as fixed sub-tree based tracking is described herein. More particularly, although in web pages, layout information is ordinarily more immutable than page content, in page content there are often some tag attributes that are unchanged during a page update, including captions of small blocks, some hyperlinks and some images. With the help of these immutable elements, some sub-trees can be pruned away into a reduced tree. By performing the above algorithm on the reduced tree, the total time cost is often be greatly reduced.
To this end, a fix node and common sub-tree are described, in which a fix node is a node with both a tag and attributes that are immutable in the two trees. In one example implementation, an extra restriction may specify that the content word length of a fix node will be no more than two. A common sub-tree pair is a sub-tree pair which satisfies the condition that the sub-tree roots are the same fix nodes, or the two sub-trees contain a same set of fix nodes, and none of their sub-trees contain all the fix nodes. For example, in
To find the fix nodes, the tags and contents of the nodes in the original tree are indexed, for example in a binary tree. Duplicated nodes, comprising those having the same tag and contents, are removed. Second, for the updated web page tree, nodes are sequentially checked, to select the nodes whose content appears in the original (previous) tree. Because the index of the nodes are built in advance, the time complexity of this step is O((N+M)log N), where N and M are the size of the two trees, respectively. Note that if the nodes are indexed by a hash table, the time complexity of this step is O(N+M), at the cost of some extra memory. Note that either way is relatively minor in terms of time cost.
To generate a reduced tree, only a subset of the nodes in the minimum common sub-tree that contains the tracking block (the reduced tree) is considered in the mapping phase. The ancestors and sibling-trees of the minimum common sub-tree are cut off, as mapping between them is unnecessary. To this end, the reduced tree is built by finding the minimum common tree pair that contains the tracking blocks, e.g., using the algorithm set forth in the table below:
After the minimum common tree pair is found, the algorithm then prunes away some sub-trees in a rule-based fashion, namely those that are not necessary to be taken into consideration in the matching phase. To this end, for each fixed node, its ancestor nodes, except for the nodes that lie in the path from the root to the tracking block, are cut off. In the pruning process, the nodes from the root to the tracking block as well as the successors are preserved, because they are useful in the matching phase. With respect to mapping the reduced trees, because the scale of the DOM trees has been greatly reduced, only the remaining nodes in the minimum common sub-tree are taken into consideration in this phase, using the minimum edit distance algorithm set forth above.
In sum, the mechanism tracks selected blocks on different web pages for rendering in a single display. The mechanism uses tree edit distance to track the block when the page is updated. By exploiting the immutable elements of web pages, the time complexity and space complexity is significantly decreased. When given two web pages, that is, a previous page and an updated version, the immutable nodes in each DOM tree are recognized. Then, the DOM trees are pruned into a reduced tree by removing the unchanged nodes. A fast tree matching algorithm is then applied to track the target block.
By way of summary,
As the user interacts with blocks of the page as described above, e.g., via mouse movements and clicks, at step 1006 a block (corresponding to one or more nodes) are recognized via the data in the DOM structure, and denoted in some way to the user to indicate its being targeted. Step 1008 waits for a selection, a canceling of the operation, or further user interaction directed to targeting another block. If a selection is made, step 1010 records the information (in the DOM) needed to track the block against subsequent updates to the block as the page is updated.
To track a block, such as when a personalized home page is rendered, and/or on some automatic time- and/or other event-driven basis, step 1102 parses the web page into a DOM tree. Step 1104 transforms the DOM tree into a labeled tree; note that the prior DOM tree that contained the prior block may have been recorded as a labeled tree, but if not, may also be transformed into a labeled tree at this time.
Steps 1106, 1108 and 1110 represent the overall process of fixed sub-tree based tracking. Step 1106 represents finding the fix nodes; step 1108 represents pruning away the fix nodes to generate reduced trees; and step 1110 represents performing the minimum edit distance mapping algorithm on the reduced trees. As described above, the fixed sub-tree based tracking process reduces the uncertainty of tree mapping by eliminating some definitely mapped nodes. As a result, the time complexity is reduced, and the precision is improved.
Turning to a description of one example implementation, the block tracking mechanism may be provided as a gadget in a local component (e.g., of Internet Information Services, or IIS) of a user's personal computer. The gadget may be invoked in some way, such as automatically triggered upon visiting a particular website (e.g., http://www.live.com), or by the user in some other manner, such as by selecting a homepage via a browser.
In an example implementation, a tracked block in a web page W (where web page W is a content web page where the block exists) may be shown in the gadget's user interface by nesting HTML iframes. More particularly, because the security policy of browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer) prevents visiting pages in an IFRAME from different domains, additional pages may be used to show the correct page and correct block. In one example, the pages are named "url.html" and "block.html". The page "url.html" is composed of a large iframe, with the web page W nested in it. The page "block.html" also contains an iframe, in which "url.html" resides. Because "block.html" and "url.html" are in the same domain, "block.html" is able to scroll the "url.html" page. The "block.html" page can scroll "url.html", and because "url.html" contains the web page W, "block.html" can indirectly orient the block in the web page W.

VIDEO: AFTER EVER AFTER 2 Parodies Frozen's Elsa, Mulan & More!
Did you ever wonder what happened after all your Disney favorites had their dreams come true? Musician Jon Cozart is here to tell you in his new video, AFTER EVER AFTER PART 2, featuring Elsa, Mulan, Tiana, and Cinderella! Check it out below along with the original parody 'After Ever After.'
Reveals Cozart: "If you ever wondered why, Disney tales all end in lies.Here's what happened after all their dreams came true"
Some lyrics sampling:
Elsa (Let It Go)
There is no snow on the mountain tonight
Just sulfur in the air
A kingdom of greenhouse gases
Only Bill Nye seems to care
My town is melting, breaking off into the sea
It's time I show the strength of an evil queen
With Germany and Putin, too
I'll free the penguins and throw you in a zoo
We're going green by spilling red
And if you're not dead
I built a hoard of evil snowmen
We're gonna take over the world
Let it snow, let it snow
Now Fox News will need heat lamps
Let it snow, let it snow
I hope you concentrate in camp (Heil Elsa)
We don't care who we have to slay
Let my troops march on
The cold's coming back and it's here to stay

On Monday night, Larry King was joined by a number of Hollywood's biggest names including [artist id="1397″]Paula Abdul[/artist], [artist id="508574″]Jennifer Lopez[/artist], [artist id="1244169″]Diddy[/artist], Ryan Seacrest, Christian Slater, Ben Stiller and Jared Leto for the "Haiti: How You Can Help Now" telethon that aired on CNN.
During the show, [artist id="1235716″]Fall Out Boy[/artist]'s Pete Wentz took some time to explain how donations to UNICEF for the victims of last Tuesday's devastating 7.0 earthquake in Haiti will be used. Standing in a UNICEF tent set up in King's New York studio, Wentz explained how the charity uses its funds on specific items for disaster relief.
"People want to see part of the solution, so if we go inside the UNICEF tent that's actually down there now, you can see that the problem is solvable," he explained. "For example you have these tablets: One of these costs 1 cent, and it can keep 5 liters of water clean. So 1 cent for 5 liters of water. [Also] you have a blanket that costs $3."
He went on to show the vaccine cooler that UNICEF workers use to help vaccinate children in the area.
"For 200 bucks, you can get school in a box, so that kids can be learning and empowering themselves and staying involved," Wentz aded. "This tent is utilitarian. It can be used for schooling purposes, medical purposes or for kids to do recreational things in. Because if you think about it, six months from now, you want your kids psychologically happy."
Wentz explained that he wanted people to know that even the smallest donations help, as evidenced by the water cleansing tablet that only costs a penny. "It's all very cheap, and this is a solvable problem and that's what I wanted to put out there, that every cent counts even if you donate a cent to this cause. you are donating."

Students take control of county government, for one day
Dozens of high school students from Henrico County got a firsthand look at the county's general government and public schools administrations earlier this month when they shadowed elected and appointed officials for the 55th annual Student Government Day.
Student Government Day, held March 1, matched 93 students from nine high schools with such leaders as members of the Board of Supervisors and School Board, county manager, superintendent of schools, department directors and judges. The students, most of whom are seniors, spent the day learning the responsibilities of various departments and gaining insight into how local government works with and on behalf of the public in a democracy.
"It is the very best government on the face of the Earth," County Manager Virgil R. Hazelett told the students. "It does work because of the people we elect. We may not always agree, but it does work."
Student Government Day started Wednesday at Hermitage High School with a ceremony in which many of the students took the oath for their respective positions. All of the students reported to work early Thursday and spent the day asking questions and interacting with various officials. Students also had opportunities to tour the county jail and register to vote.
For students who worked at the Henrico Government Center on East Parham Road, the day culminated with a student-run meeting of the board of supervisors, which included rigorous questioning and debate over such issues as regulations on the discharge of air-powered guns, a contract for renovation and expansion of Fire Station 13 and a stream restoration project near Skipwith Elementary School.
Student Government Day is sponsored by the Kiwanis clubs of North Richmond, Tuckahoe and Greater Richmond.
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

Pixar's 'Inside Out' is a magnificent, emotional ride
Explaining the nuts and bolts of Pixar's new, exciting, innovative Inside Out – really digging into the film's shape-and-color explanation of the human mind – would take up the entirety of this review. And probably three or four more (if movies had instruction manuals, Inside Out's would be the size and general poundage of a cinder block).
It's a complicated movie. So here's the gist, in as simply-put terms can be. > Read more.

Your browser does not support iframes. Washington Nationals pitcher Henry Rodriguez came dangerously close to having to charge the mound on himself on Sunday during a game against the Cincinnati Reds. In the top of the 8th inning, the right-hander threw a wild pitch. Oftentimes wild pitches lead to bench-clearing brawls. If Rodriguez's wild pitch came any closer to his own head, he may have been forced to punch himself in the face. As you can see, Rodriguez bounced a pitch into the dirt and it somehow came back and almost landed on his head. I don't know if that's ever happened before, but it's the first time I've seen it. Fortunately, he was able to keep his cool. It was an accident. I think he understood that. H/T Deadspin

Originally written on The Detroit Sports Site | Last updated 1/6/13
The surging Detroit Pistons look for their fifth consecutive win Sunday, as they welcome the Charlotte Bobcats to The Palace. Here's what you need to know about the game … Who/Where/When: Detroit Pistons (13-22) vs. Charlotte Bobcats (8-24), The Palace of Auburn Hills, 7:30 p.m. ET Previous meeting: The two teams have not yet played this season. Piston to Watch: Austin Daye. Daye has worked his way back into the lineup — and done so aggressively enough that he's moved from potential trade bait to a valuable member of the second unit. In the Pistons' last outing, a Friday night win over Atlanta, Daye dropped 20 points in just 22 minutes on 9-of-11 shooting. Bobcat to Watch: Ben Gordon. You remember him, right? The Pistons dealt Gordon and his bulky contract to Charlotte this offseason for Corey Maggette (who has been relegated to the bench amid Daye's resurgence). Ever the scorer, Gordon is pouring in 13.4 points per game and is coming off a 27-point outing against Cleveland. Detroit has had issues with hot-shooting guards this year, so Gordon could put up some big numbers Sunday night.

Mrs. Rosie Eva Williams 80, of Starkville, MS passed away August 1, 2014
Service is Wednesday August 6, 2014 @ 11 a.m.
At Griffin U.M. Church, Starkville, MS.
Visitation will be 1 hour before Funeral on Wednesday 10-11 a.m. @ Griffin U.M. Church.
Burial will be in Oddfellows Cemetery, Starkville, MS.
The Starkville Yellowjackets are even farther ahead of the game after one day of preseason practice than they were at this time last year.
Not only do the Jackets return a veteran team, but they already have two practices under their belt that they didn't have last year. The first day of drills was washed out in 2013 because of rain.
There is no substitute for game experience.
A player can study and practice all day long, but getting into the game and having to think on their feet is a whole new ballgame.
For Starkville Academy, experience will certainly be on its side this football season.
Devon Bell feels like a burden was lifted off his shoulders this season.
The Mississippi State junior will be used exclusively as a punter and a kickoff man this year, rather than kicking field goals, which he did the last two seasons.
On the northwest corner of Highway 182 and Montgomery Street, in the yard of a white, two-story house, lives a rooster.

Venture Heat's Motorcycle Heated Glove Liners feature our latest innovation in heating technology enabling you to create your own personal microclimate with ease. Designed to work with your existing gloves. We created these liners for the year-round riding enthusiasts so we put the heating elements around the palm and every fingertip for maximum warmth.
The heated liner is designed with a stretchable poly-spandex fabric so it's thin enough to wear under gloves or by itself to provide constant heat to your hands while allowing perfect dexterity in all fingers. Designed to be powered by a 12V battery, you can connect your Heated Glove Liners to a motorcycle, snowmobile, ATV, or scooter for endless heated comfort.
|Power System
|Plugin in to Vehicle
|Heating Elements
|Perimeter of palm & each finger
|Heat Settings
|1.3 Amps total
|Exterior Fabric
|86% Polyester, 14% Spandex
|Heated Glove Liner
Perimeter Heat design
With the hair-thin micro-carbon fiber heating panels woven along the perimeter of the fingers and palm, your entire hand is sure to stay warm for as long as the liners are plugged in.
xtreme comfort technology
Our Xtreme Comfort Technology is in every product we manufacture. The ultra-thin heating panels eliminate the bulky feeling of heating coils in the hand and fingers by using alloy fibers which allow for flexible heating panels, providing strong and safe heat under your normal glove.
Motorcycle Interconnectivity
The Heated Glove Liners are powered by the existing battery on your vehicle and will provide heat as long as you're on the road. Simply connect the harness to the terminals on the battery and run the coax cable underneath the body leaving the connector plug exposed. You can pair the Motorcycle Heated Glove Liners with the Heated Jacket Liner or Pants, or wear them on their own using the included Y-Splitter Cable.
Raynaud's Disease
I have an extreme case of this disease and this might be an answer to the problem of keeping my hands from going white or keeping the blood flowing in cool or cold weather
Great fit
I bought this last year to use on my Gold Wing. The heated grips on the bike only goes so far (only heating the plan of the hand). Since I already owned a heated jacket from Venture Heat, it plugged in directly to the pre-wired cables from the jacket. (I did not wire the additional cables that comes in the box). The material is quite soft and thin. They heat up my fingers great but not too hot. As there is direct wire, there is just on (plugged in) or off option (unplug the cables.) This works for me since I like my current touring gloves. I may have to get a pair of full gloves instead of the liners for my wife next season those will have controller built in.

Stadium push continues at Tulane
Published: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at 10:43 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — A push to bring college football back to uptown New Orleans with construction of a new stadium at Tulane University continues when the university hosts a forum on the issue.
Tulane says tonight's event will be moderated by representatives of an architectural firm selected by the university and neighborhood representatives.
Tulane's football team currently plays home games at the Louisiana Superdome in downtown New Orleans. But a push is on to build a new stadium on the uptown campus. The move has widespread support but is also drawing opposition from neighbors who say they are worried about parking and noise issues.
Tonight's forum is being held at The Audubon Tea Room at Audubon Park at 6.

Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Run knife around pan edges to release cake. Invert onto rack; remove pan and parchment. Cool completely.
For ganache:
Place chocolate and cream in microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Stir in butter. Let stand until spreadable, about 30 minutes. Spread over top and sides of cake. Transfer cake to plate. Chill 2 hours and up to 1 day.
For praline:
Stir first 3 ingredients in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat until butter melts. Boil 1 minute without stirring. Remove from heat; whisk in sugar and vanilla. Add pecans; stir just to incorporate. Quickly pour praline over cake. Spread just to edges (topping sets quickly). DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome. Store at room temperature.
