Goat Cheese Tart with Caramelized Onions
adapted from the Balthazar Cookbook by Keith McNally, Riad Nasr & Lee Hanson
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 10 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces
• 2 large egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons ice-cold water
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 large yellow onions, halved through the stem end and thinly sliced into 1/8-inch half-moons
• 1 sprig of thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 8 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
• 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large egg, separated and yolk beaten
1. To make the crusts, combine the flour, salt and chilled butter in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. With the machine running, add the egg yolks and ice water through the feed tube. Continue to process until the dough forms a ball. Shape the dough into 1 disk if making a 10-inch tart, or into 6 equally sized disks if making 4-inch tarts. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator.
3. Over a low flame, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, thyme, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally, cooking the onions until soft and golden, reducing their volume by nearly half; this can take up to 1 hour. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, draining off any excess oil. Discard the thyme (if using fresh) and bay leaf.
4. Meanwhile, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Fit the dough into the pan (or pans), pressing it firmly into the bottom edge and fluted sides. Trim the excess and prick the dough several times with a fork. Place the tart pan(s) on a sheet tray for easy handling. Line the dough with aluminum foil, and weigh down with raw rice or beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue to bake a few minutes more, until the crust takes on a light brown color. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while the filling is completed.
5. In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix the goat cheese, cream cheese, 2 whole eggs, the egg white from the separated egg, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
6. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the bottom of the prebaked tart shell and pour the cheese mixture over the onions, filling to just below the rim. Using a wide pastry brush, gently brush the beaten egg yolk over the top of the tart. Try to cover completely.
7. Bake for 12 minutes, until set. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Check out our website at: www.fnno.com From Fnno.com, this is the Financial News Network, your source for the latest business news. Here's a few things to watch for in the financial world today July 11. J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) not fairing well as it continues to try and restructure its business. The department store chain announced its next round of layoffs, cutting 350 jobs at its headquarters in Plano, Texas. This will bring the total amount of layoffs to 3,100 employees, nearly 30 percent of its workforce. Investors are not convinced the layoffs or new strategy will bring J.C. Penney business back from the brink. Credit Suisse cut its estimates Tuesday, saying the company's second quarter sales will likely drop by 20 percent. The cut in forecast and negative outlook caused the stock to drop 6 percent Tuesday and could drop more today. Yet another company cutting their earnings guidance, electronics retailer hhgregg (NYSE:HGG) says it sees its full-year earnings between $0.90 and $1.05. This is down from the previous estimate of $1.12 to $1.27. The company said the cut is due to weakness in its video business. The company's CEO Dennis May said they will continue to compete on price as they plan to test new products to fill the void in their sales declines. Investors are running from this stock and will continue to into the trading session. HHgregg is down over 27% premarket. Finally, some good news from a company for a change. MagicJack Vocaltec has done the opposite of what most companies are doing right now and decided to raise its estimates for its second quarter results. The internet phone services company expects a profit between 48 to 52 cents per share, above its estimates of just 43 cents a share. MagicJack said the change is due to increasing sales of a new product called MagicJack Plus which can directly connect a home phone without the need to be attached to a computer. Yesterday shares of the company rose more than 17 percent so watch out for more movement in the coming session. Those were a few things to watch out for here on the Financial News Network.

text: Climate and water cycle determine the living conditions on Earth and affect, for example, agriculture, forestry, water management and the availability of drinking water. Climate and precipitation – one of the main components of the water cycle - within a region depend on geographical position, topography and prevailing land use; they often show a pronounced variability in time and space, even over small distances. It is also often observed that the distribution of extremes differs considerably from the one for average values, e.g. patterns of heavy precipitation differ from the patterns of annual precipitation sums. Studying the past, present and future behaviour of climate and water cycle on regional scales is essential for climate adaptation issues, but also for a better understanding of this multi-component, multi-scale system, and numerical models are a suitable tool for these purposes. Our working group is engaged in the modelling, the analysis and the interpretation of the intimately connected topics water and climate on the regional scale with high spatial resolution.

Komodo dragon bites 2 in officeFebruary 07,2013Komodo dragon
bites 2 in office
JAKARTA, Indonesia Two people have been hospitalized after being attacked by a giant Komodo dragon that wandered into the office of a wildlife park in eastern Indonesia.
An official at Komodo National Park, Heru Rudiharto, said Wednesday the 6½-foot-long Komodo dragon attacked a park ranger after walking into the office on Tuesday.
It then attacked another park employee who came to help him. Both were badly bitten and were evacuated to a hospital on Bali Island.
Rudiharto said the park ranger also was attacked by a Komodo dragon in 2009.
Endangered Komodo dragons can grow longer than 10 feet. Fewer than 4,000 are believed to be alive. They are found in the wild primarily on the eastern Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca.MORE IN Wire NewsHOUSTON Wal-Marts court fight to sell liquor at its stores in Texas looks to be back on track,...

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a method of natural healing based on the application of Universal Life Force Energy (the name literally means Universal Life Force Energy). Reiki practitioners generally place their hands on their clients body in a series of positions, and allow Reiki energy to flow. Reiki teachers say that Reiki is an intelligent energy that knows what to do for the client in all cases. See The Reiki Page for more information.

Definition of pigeonite in English:
noun[mass noun]
A calcium-poor pyroxene mineral occurring chiefly in basalt.
Example sentences
- Orthopyroxene forms in primitive (high-MgO) basalts but as differentiation proceeds, it is replaced by pigeonite once the enstatite component falls below 60 to 70 atomic percent.
- Various factors, including magma composition, control whether orthopyroxene or pigeonite occurs as the low-Ca pyroxene, but high temperatures yield orthopyroxene and low-pressure crystallization favours pigeonite.
- Pigeonite is the orthorhombic pyroxene equivalent in the volcanic rocks.
Early 20th century: named after Pigeon Point, Minnesota, + -ite1.

Pro Evolution Soccer has had it rough in recent years, as EA's FIFA series has taken home the accolades and the sales. But word out of Gamescom 2014 suggests that's about to change. PES 2015 took home the honors as the best sports game of the show. Konami's Fox Engine, the same one that powers Metal Gear Solid 5, forms the heart of PES 2015. This was the case last year too, but Konami has admitted there were some first-year hiccups. Things looked prettier but slowed down too much. Much of the praise this year centers on the fluid gameplay, so it seems those early problems have been worked out.
Now awards like this don't necessarily mean huge sales. I honestly couldn't tell you what won best sports for 2013 at the show without looking it up. Still, positive press is a good thing for a franchise that's been in rebuilding mode. Mario Gotze, who scored the game winning goal for Germany, will be the cover boy. It will release Nov. 11. That's a lot later than FIFA's Sept. 23 release date. With that big a gap between dates, the good words about PES may not be enough. A free demo of PES 2015 is coming Sept. 17 on PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360. That will have it out before EA's release date. Madden NFL 15 didn't have a demo, and I suspect FIFA won't either. A major selling point for EA Access is members getting to play new games five days before release.
If you're a gamer that prefers to test drive new titles before buying, Pro Evolution Soccer 2015demo will be worth a look for you.

Nicki Minaj is everywhere now and days and now she's made her way over to the cover of Billboard magazine. She opens up and talks about her journey to where she's at now. Check out a few snippets and her Q&A sit down below.
Her past jobs:
"The last job I had was as an office manager in a little, tiny room where I literally wanted to strangle this guy because he was so loud and obnoxious," Minaj recalls. "I would go home with stress pains in my neck and my back. That's when I went to my mother and said, 'Look, I'm not going back to work.' I'd been fired like 15 times because I had a horrible attitude. I worked at Red Lobster before that and I chased a customer out of the restaurant once so I could stick my middle finger up at her and demand that she give me my pen back. I swear to God I was bad."
Her sound:
"When I started rapping, people were trying to make me like the typical New York rapper, but I'm not that," Minaj says. "No disrespect to New York rappers, but I don't want people to hear me and know exactly where I'm from. I wanted the album to be universal and versatile. It really feels like it speaks for every one of my personalities."
Roman's Revenge:
"'Nicki she just mad 'cause you took the spot,' word, that bitch mad cause I took the spot? Well, bitch, if you ain't shitting then get off the pot/Got some niggas out in Brooklyn that'll off your top," Minaj raps on the track. "'Roman's Revenge' is where I've become a different human being," Minaj says. "I didn't give a damn who I offended, whose feelings I hurt — this needed to be said, and it cracks me up when I listen to it. I'm a maniac on that track. I knew true hip-hop fans would love this."
Being kicked out of Young Money:
Minaj credits mentor Lil Wayne for sparking that fire in her. After she dropped out of the second leg of Wayne's 2009 I Am Music tour, he kicked her out the crew — a turn of events that wasn't made public. "I started to record by myself and I lost track of what I was doing and who I wanted to be," she says. "It wasn't until I linked back up with Wayne that he gave me this speech. He said, 'What happened? You were hot,' and it just hurt me so much. I wanted to prove to him that I was still hot. It hurt my ego so bad that I went back with a vengeance."

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in the Inland Empire dropped today for the 21st consecutive day, decreasing 1 cent to $3.978, its lowest amount since March 13.
The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties has decreased 17.1 cents over the past 21 days, including seven-tenths of a cent on Monday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 5.8 cents less than one week ago, 15.4 cents lower than one month ago and 5.3 cents cents below what it was one year ago.
The 21-day streak of decreases is the longest since a 24-day streak from May 2-25. The current streak was immediately preceded by 11 increases in 14 days which pushed the average price to its highest amount since May 19.
The dropping prices are the result of increased supply stemming from refineries running at a higher capacity, according to Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.

Finally, after sitting there miserably for 3 and a half hours, they gave me back my vehicle. I should've had them play the stereo right then and there before I took it, but I was charged another $100 on top of what I had already paid for standard RCA cables. I put my new Pitbull CD in my stereo and drove about 1/2 mile until I smelled a retched burning smell. I immediately glanced down to see my stereo ON FIRE! I quickly dumped my full 24 oz. coca-cola on it to put it out, and turned right back around. On my third time walking in, the employees then turned mean and miserable toward me. "THERE'S COKE ALL OVER IT! WHAT DID YOU DO?!", one of the guys screamed right in my face.
This turned out to be a guy named Billy Gormley who is the owner....WTF! I described to him in detail what had happened, and he snapped back at me and screamed "BULL S!@#"! He got so heated and red in the face, I thought he was going to hit me! The next thing he did was c**k back his arm, and clench his fist, as if he was going to punch me right in my eye! It's all on camera there and everything. In the video, if you look very closely, you can see what looks like perhaps a Chinese Star or a set of nunchaku in his hand! He was going to literally kill me! Thank God I have the reflexes of a ninja, otherwise I would've been dead. Anyway, the manager came out which looked like a castmember of "Jersey Shore" (he was even fist-pumping for some reason), and told Billy to settle down. Bottom line that place is overpriced and out of control! I think that just because they are in Boca Raton they think they can walk all over and charge whoever they want, whatever they want!

'There's a time traveller in each of us'
The digital revolution brings us all kinds of cool tools that make it easier to study, teach and present history. Interactive timelines are one of my favourites. Compared to their analogue versions, the benefits are clear: you can zoom in and out on time, minimize and maximize text boxes, add pictures and video, cooperate, share, etc. We tested and compared ten online timeline applications and were amazed at all the different features and, moreover, at the impact those have on their usability for your historical project. A hanby comparison matrix accompanies this review.
If it would be our intention to make a ranking of the tested timelines, Tiki Toki would be at the top. The responsive design – that you can modify – is impressive for sure, but not the only selling point. For each event or period you can add multiple images, video or links and the editor allows html-text. For now, you can't add media through upload from your computer but only by using remote connections. An interesting feature is the categorization you can add to your events. You can define different colours for political, cultural, social and economic events for example, and present them in category bands. This thematic structure adds a crucial dimension for historians. Sadly, it's not (yet?) possible to filter on these categories. Nor is it possible to search the text of the events. Off course you can embed the timeline, but you can't incorporate it in social media. But for the Tiki Toki timeline that's not really a drawback. It keeps the design tight and doesn't divert your audience. Too bad the name is a bit stupid…
Timeglider is one of the only timelines that does allow searching text en themes. You can visualize the weight of events by placing them higher or lower, smaller or bigger on the timeline: an interesting but time-consuming feature. The design of Timeglider is simple and non-adjustable and you can only add one image per event. The event popup doesn't automatically close when you open the next item and all those open windows rapidly cloud your vision on the timeline. Another drawback is that Timeglider is only available in English. A plus is that it's possible, as with the Tiki Toki timeline, to import and export data using CSV-files.
Open source
The SIMILE project of MIT develops open source tools to process and visualize all kinds of digital data. One of their widgets you can integrate in your own website and/or pair with other applications, is the SIMILE-timeline. It's beyond questioning that you can make ingenious, complicated and intelligent timelines thanks to SIMILE (Geodia, viewshare). But contrary to the other applications in our list, you can't just sign in and start building your timeline. You need to do some implementation work. That can be as easy as using a Google spreadsheet but also very complicated using JSON.
It is beyond questioning that we can make ingenious, complicated and intelligent timelines thanks to SIMILE.
An interesting version of the SIMILE-timeline is the one where the user can combine and mark different search results. The SIMILE-design is very simple and only adjustable using code. This can be an advantage if you use your timeline as a tool for research or collection management: the design doesn't divert and you don't loose time making it pretty.
A new open source tool we are keeping an eye on is Timeline JS of Knight News Innovation Lab. In principle it works the same as the SIMILE-timeline: you import data from a spreadsheet (or JSON) or other data sources (twitter, YouTube, GoogleMaps, Vimeo). But it looks somewhat better than the SIMILE-timeline and on the website you find a handy embed generator: you only have to insert the url of the spreadsheet and you'll get the embed code. Timeline JS offers a showcase of timelines made by its users. Even though Timeline JS claims to be able to produce sophisticated timelines, there aren't any in its gallery.
Timeline communities
Several timeline applications try to assemble a searchable collection of timelines and bring together a timeline-community. Timerime is one of them and can be interesting if you want to make and show a whole series of timelines. It's the only application that doesn't show the event information in a pop-up window but as an html page below the timeline. That opens a lot of opportunities for text and media use per item. Timerime offers all kinds of packages to businesses and schools. It's even possible to integrate the timeline in the electronic learning environment of your school or university. Important drawback is that you can't add events that happened Before Christ. That's something Timetoast can't do either. Together with xtimeline that's the least interesting timeline application: content wise very elementary, confusing in its use and – above all – maddening slow.
Timelines 2.0
And then there are the timelines that focus on the import and presentation of social media. Dipity imports data using search results in GoogleNews, Youtube, Flickr, Twitter, RSS, blogs, Last FM, Delicious, etc. This means that you can use the timeline to monitor news and information on the web. Or use it to collect and present the (real and virtual) activities of your organisation. We think Dipity can be a useful tool to control your own information flows but also to offer as a visualization tool to your colleagues, students or members who don't (want to) manage the information themselves.
a handy application to manage your information flows
Memolane doesn't go that far. This application only allows you to visualize your personal history. Its baseline is: 'Rediscover your greatest memories'. And that's all it will do. In our opinion the future of Memolane looks somewhat insecure since facebook implemented its timeline.
Beedocs: a one trick pony
For mac-adepts this lists adds BeeDocs as a last timeline application. The 3D-timeline you can export with the app or software of BeeDocs, are guarantied welcomed with awe from your audience. You can export the timeline as video – with or without alpha-canal – or as sequences to import in Keynote (apple's powerpoint) so you can integrate the timeline in your presentations. But then we've said it all. Beedocs timelines are only interesting to present time. They're not interactive, the online publication is limited and the software suffers from bugs.
- Our timeline comparison matrix gives an overview of the features of the timelines. (pdf/jpg)
- Before you choose your application it's crucial to figure out what the timeline needs to be able to do for your history project. Do you want to document, reconstruct, present, analyse or study history? What works in an exhibition, isn't necessary the best solution for the classroom.
- The balance between features, complexity, design and usability is very delicate and often a personal matter.
- A nice design can be stimulating and has its pedagogical value. But it can also divert.
- Don't be afraid to pay for a Pro Account. The costs are more or less the same as the price of a book. The extra features are worth it.

Unscripted moment by Austin TV anchor gets a good word from MSNBC's Mika Brzenski
Austin TV anchor Karina Kling got some national exposure with an unscripted moment that showed up in Jimmy Kimmel's show and MSNBC's Morning Joe. She's a reporter and weekend anchor on YNN in Austin and a regular in the Capitol press corps. Normally, making the "Excellence in Reporting" fixture on Kimmel's show is not a good thing, but what's not to like here? Even Morning Joe's Mika Brzenski had a good word after seeing the clip: "Karina Kling, I love her."

lol...I have a pair of deformed looking socks...let's not make fun...hurts my poor socks' feelings!!
Beld, I'm going to do the toe up method 1st, as well!! I would like to experiment with a couple of those before I do the 2 socks on 2 circs, which, by the way, the turorial for that is at the same cyber sock tutorial site where u got the toe up tutorial, that's where I got mine, too. I hope to finish my booga bag in a few days & then I'm going to give toe up a go with some Sockotta that I have, it's the least slippery, etc & I'm very used to knitting with it. I'm very intriqued by the freedom that you have with toe up knitting.....Truthfully, by all sock knitting in general.
Have fun, give me reports on the adventure

The majority of digital film and television productions continue to capture, post-produce and distribute in HD or 2K, formats for which Alexa provides an unmatched solution. Widespread adoption of UHD/4K post workflows, as well as availability of UHD displays in consumer homes and 4K projection in movie theaters is at least one to two years away – even in the most progressive markets. However, some film and program makers are already concerned about protecting their work for future developments. The ongoing debate regarding high dynamic range displays, which are said to have an even greater effect on the viewing experience than higher spatial resolution, only adds to these concerns.
For TV productions looking for a UHD deliverable, Alexa XT cameras and Alexa Classic cameras with the XR Module upgrade offer the new ProRes 3.2K recording option. At data rates far below uncompressed Arriraw, ProRes 3.2K provides the benefits of ProRes workflow. As an additional benefit, most lenses fully cover the 3.2K image circle that results from the 16:9 ProRes 3.2K image. A straightforward up-sample from ProRes 3.2K using standard post tools delivers UHD images for broadband and broadcast.
Many high-profile movies have been shot in ArriRAW 2.8K and up-sampled to a 4K DCP with successful results, an example being the last James Bond film, Skyfall. To further improve upon this option, Arri introduced the ArriRAW Open Gate recording format for Alexa XT cameras earlier this year. Open Gate records the full 3.4K Alexa XT sensor area for an optimal up-sample in post to a 4K DCP.
Recent demonstrations of high dynamic range displays have shown the extraordinary visual impact of increased dynamic range and sparked a debate over how and when they will be introduced. Arri has been working with Dolby at major trade shows to help showcase Dolby Vision display technology, which is capable of 100 times more brightness than a conventional TV. This has contributed to a spreading awareness in the industry that dynamic range is an even more important factor than spatial resolution in creating a superior visual experience. Recognizing this, other companies such as Thomson, Philips and the BBC are working on their own HDR solutions.
The Dolby Vision presentations have revealed how much better Alexa images look when displayed with extended dynamic range, demonstrating the untapped potential of Alexa-originated material to be remastered for future HDR display standards.

How to Remember The Milk – And Everything Else
Posted on David Pierce | 30 Comments
Post by David Pierce. Find me on Twitter.
Before writing this article, I went back to see if I could count all the different applications and methods I've tried for managing tasks and to-do lists. There was Outlook, Toodledo, Todoist, Vitalist, GTDAgenda, Thunderbird, a Moleskine, Doomi – and that's just the list that came to my head in about 15 seconds.
I've been around the block with task managers, for a couple reasons: one, I just get some crazy pleasure out of tweaking and goofing around with my productivity system, often even at the expense of my productivity. Also, though, I never found an application that worked exactly right for me, and did all the things I needed it to do in an easy and enjoyable way.
I'll be honest: I still haven't. But I've come pretty darn close with Remember the Milk. It allowed me access no other application had, tons of great support and brilliant users, and offered ways to work that just fit the way I think and work.
My RTM setup was constantly changing, but is only recently pretty set, and exactly how I like it. Here's how I did it:
Tags, Tags, Tags
I've only got one actual list in RTM – it's called "Inbox" and stores every single one of my tasks. I never look at that list, though, except when I'm doing a big, broad overview of all my tasks (at which point having them all in one place is really nice).
Every task in RTM gets at least one tag – the first tag it gets is similar to the GTD "Contexts," which are geared towards putting similar types of tasks (i.e. phone calls or errands) in the same place. I have five contexts – @School (things I do for school, in the library, etc.), @Computer (This one's kinda obvious), @Contact (all my emails, phone calls, etc.), @Home (Projects, bills, etc. that I need to be at home to do), and @Out (errands, things to take pictures of, and anything that requires me to go somewhere).
The second tag in RTM is what I call the "Hat" tag. I wear a number of different hats – freelance writer, student, real-job employee, and more – so I try to group my tags underneath which of those is relevant. I try to keep "work hours" both for writing and for my day job, and having all my relevant tasks under one place helps me stay on task.
For instance, I have one called "Pogue" for all the work I do as an assistant to New York Times columnist David Pogue, as well as one for "Writing" for all the freelance work I do around the Web. There's one called "Admin" for backend stuff for this site, as well as a few others that I try and devote concerted time to periodically.
Smart Lists
The way I view and manage my tasks is through RTM's "Smart Lists." Smart Lists are basically constantly updating searches – if I search for a particular tag, every time I create a new task with that tag, the list updates to include it. The other nice thing about a Smart List is that if I add a task while inside a Smart List, it automatically takes on the features of that list (a particular tag or due date, for instance).
I made a Smart List for every one of my contexts, every one of my Hats, and a couple other ones that have helped me a lot – "Due Today", "No Due Date" and "No Tag." No Due Date helps me to look through my non-critical tasks easily, and figure out which I want to give a date to, or just do. "No Tag" has been critical for me, for managing tasks I forget to add a tag to. It's fairly common for me to just enter a task, and then forget about it. If I forgot something, it goes into the "No Tag" list, which I check every day to make sure tasks went where they needed to go.
The "Due Today" list is the one I live in all day, and it's the default place I go in RTM (and one that makes GTD people cringe). I have tasks, over tons of different contexts, that have to get done today. Sometimes I can't make phone calls when it's convenient to make phone calls – I've got homework to do! Knowing what's due today, regardless of what it will take me to do it, is a big boost to my productivity.
Once a week or so, I review all my tasks: I check their tags, to make sure they're in the right place. I see if one task is actually two or more, in which case I split it. I check due dates, to make sure everything gets done when it needs to. The review is quick, simple, and easy – as long as I'm good about tagging and entering due dates for my tasks up front.
It's… Everywhere!
The biggest reason I use RTM, and kept leaving other applications, is how universally available RTM is. I use it in Gmail, in iGoogle, on the iPhone, on my Windows Mobile Phone, on the Web, and through Twitter. And that's just the beginning of what you can do! For more, check out RTM's Services.
With Google Gears, RTM is also available offline – critical for me, because I spend a lot of time on planes, trains, and the like. With the iPhone app or on my Windows Mobile phone (both do require a $25/year Pro Account, which is 100% worth it), RTM is also available when I'm not sitting at my computer. I can easily add tasks, manage them, and complete them, wherever I am.
One last note- I used a Greasemonkey script called "A Bit Better RTM" to make RTM prettier and more useful. I like it a lot, as it makes navigation easier, as well as putting all the lists on the side, which I think is just nicer-looking. There are a ton of styles for the site – just Google "Greasemonkey Remember the Milk".
There are a ton of other reasons to use RTM, including some I've written about before (both here and elsewhere – and another place). It's a simple application, with ridiculous functionality and availability. If you're looking for a task-manager, or have one you don't like, give Remember the Milk a shot.
How do you manage your tasks?

MayBMS - A Database Management System for Uncertain and Probabilistic Data
Cite: L. Antova, T. Jansen, C. Koch, and D. Olteanu. "Fast and Simple Relational Processing of Uncertain Data". Proc. 24th International Conference on Data Engineering, ICDE 2008, April 7-12, 2008, Cancun, Mexico, pp. 983-992.
MayBMS is a probabilistic database management system. Its main features include:
- A powerful query language for processing and transforming uncertain data
- Space-efficient representation and storage
- Efficient query evaluation based on mature relational technology
- Support for conditioning and data cleaning
- Updates
MayBMS has been implemented on top of PostgreSQL and will soon be officially released. A current snapshot of the source code can be obtained at maybms.sourceforge.net. This is a complete reimplementation effort. The system currently lacks some of the features of the demos (but contains others in addition).
Various code snippets that people have requested, such as data generators and implementations of our confidence computation algorithms, are available for download below on this page.
Overview papers and Slides
MayBMS: A System for Managing Large Uncertain and
Probabilistic Databases
C. Koch. Unpublished draft, Sept. 26, 2008.
- This is currently the best document giving an overview of the project. It is a full paper version of the slide set below.
- Slides on MayBMS2.
- Slides on MayBMS1.
Papers on the MayBMS2 system
A Compositional Framework for Complex Queries over Uncertain Data
M. Goetz and C. Koch. Under submission, 2008.
Lazy versus Eager Query Plans for Tuple-Independent Probabilistic Databases
D. Olteanu, J. Huang, C. Koch. To appear in Proc. ICDE, 2008. Long paper.
- This paper shows how to find query plans that are more efficient than safe plans for hierarchical queries on tuple-independent databases. The paper also introduces a special operator for efficiently processing such plans.
Using OBDDs for Efficient Query Evaluation on Probabilistic Databases
D. Olteanu and J. Huang. To appear in Proc. SUM 2008.
- This paper uses binary decision diagrams for efficiently processing extensions of hierarchical conjunctive queries on tuple-independent probabilistic databases.
Conditioning Probabilistic Databases
C. Koch and D. Olteanu. Proc. VLDB 2008.
- This paper is the first to consider the problem of conditioning a probabilistic database outside of the context of graphical models. The core contribution is an exact confidence computation algorithm that seems to perform well in practice.
Approximating Predicates and Expressive Queries on Probabilistic
C. Koch. Proc. PODS 2008.
- This paper shows that queries in our expressive compositional query language can be efficiently arbitrarily closely approximated.
Fast and Simple Relational Processing of Uncertain Data
L. Antova, T. Jansen, C. Koch, D. Olteanu. Proc. ICDE 2008. Best paper runner-up.
- This paper presents the representation system of MayBMS2 and the efficient SQL-only evaluation of a large fragment of our query language.
Papers on the MayBMS query language and on APIs
A Compositional Query Algebra for Second-Order Logic and Uncertain
C. Koch. Technical Report arXiv:0807.4620.
- This paper proves that world-set algebra, (the nonprobabilistic version of) the core of the MayBMS query language, has exactly the same expressive power as second-order logic. It also provides some useful insights into query languages for uncertain databases in general.
On APIs for Probabilistic Databases
L. Antova and C. Koch. Proc. MUD 2008.
- This paper studies the challenge of defining an application programming interface for probabilistic databases. This is difficult because the goal of keeping the API independent from database internals (specifically, the representation system) clashes with the desire for efficiency.
Query language support for incomplete information in the MayBMS system (Demonstration)
L. Antova, C. Koch, D. Olteanu. Proc. VLDB 2007.
- This was a MayBMS2 demo, but the paper focuses on the query language of MayBMS. The PODS 2008 paper is a much better reference for (the algebraic version of) the language.
From Complete to Incomplete Information and Back
L. Antova, C. Koch, D. Olteanu. Proc. SIGMOD 2007.
- This paper presents the nonprobabilistic version of the MayBMS query language and studies its properties.
Papers on the MayBMS1 prototype
Note: We are currently working on the second prototype of MayBMS -- MayBMS2 -- which is based on U-relations as the representation system (see our ICDE 2008 paper). The first prototype, MayBMS1, was based on world-set decompositions (WSDs). U-relations allow for more efficient query processing than WSDs and are more succinct.
World-set Decompositions: Expressiveness and Efficient Algorithms
[arxiv 0705.4442]
L. Antova, C. Koch, D. Olteanu. Theoretical Computer Science 403 (2-3):265-284 (2008) Preliminary version in Proc. ICDT 2007.
- This paper studies the theory of world-set decompositions. Of particular interest is the factorization algorithm, which does a form of minimization of representations.
MayBMS: Managing Incomplete Information with Probabilistic
World-Set Decompositions (Demonstration)
L. Antova, C. Koch, D. Olteanu. Proc. ICDE 2007. Demo Paper.
- This was a demo of MayBMS1. The paper is the first to discuss world-set decompositions for representing probabilistic databases.
10^(10^6) Worlds and Beyond: Efficient Representation and Processing of Incomplete Information.
L. Antova, C. Koch, D. Olteanu. Proc. ICDE 2007. Technical Report INFOSYS-TR-2005-4.
- This paper introduces world-set decompositions, the representation formalism of MayBMS1, and studies query evaluation on these representations. World-set decompositions are based on factorizations to exploit independence and, at least in their probabilistic form, can be thought of as shallow Bayesian Networks.

Edwards Admits to Fathering Hunter's Daughter
John Edwards Admits Fathering Child
Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards admitted that he fathered a child with videographer Rielle Hunter, the Associated Press reported Thursday morning.
Edwards said in August 2008 that he had an extramarital affair with Hunter, but denied that he fathered her daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, born earlier that year.
In a statement to the AP released Thursday, the former senator said: "I am Quinn's father."
"It was wrong for me to ever deny she was my daughter," he said.
Hunter had run a firm that directed four Web videos for Edwards's political action committee in 2006. She didn't put a father's name on the birth certificate filed in California, according to the AP.
A former Edwards aide, Andrew Young, initially claimed paternity of the child shortly before the 2008 presidential primary contests began. Young is scheduled to release a book on Feb. 2 that details the scandal.
Edwards's wife, Elizabeth, whose cancer returned in an incurable form in March 2007, has stood by her husband despite the affair. She has said that it doesn't matter to her whether her husband fathered a child with Hunter, saying, "that would be a part of John's life, but not a part of mine."
Edwards came in second in the Iowa caucus behind Barack Obama and ahead of Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential race. He withdrew his candidacy after finishing third in the South Carolina primary.
Here, the full text of Edwards's statement:
I am Quinn's father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves. I have been able to spend time with her during the past year and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately and in peace.
It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me. I have been providing financial support for Quinn and have reached an agreement with her mother to continue providing support in the future.
To all those I have disappointed and hurt, these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry.
John R. Edwards

I was picked up from work by one of their employees and driven to the rental facility. I was told there were only 2 cars available, a Dodge Charger or a mini-van. I chose the Charger because my insurance did not cover the complete cost of the van.
At the time of the rental, AJ told me that there would be a $50 deposit which would be refunded when I returned the car. I put that on my debit card. I told them several times it was a debit and would be coming out of my bank account. While standing outside looking at the car, AJ handed me the rental contract, said they had 2 insurance options, Basic or Full and I needed to choose one. I was not given the option to turn down their insurance.
I was not told that I had the right to decline the extra $15 per day insurance, and was not told this was part of my deposit. I was also not told of a return due date. I ended up having the car for 2 weeks while awaiting my insurance company.
I discovered 2 additional $50 charges from Enterprise taken from my bank account. When I called and spoke to AJ, he told me the charges were for "overages" for having the car past the 'due date' and for $15 per day insurance had run out my deposit and they needed another one, which they just helped themselves to without contacting me first.
I returned the car on December 21 and was told there was yet another $120 due! Once again, their claim this was for the $15 per day insurance. Also it was only at this time that they pointed out the fine print (which is impossible to read on the customer copy because of the colored paper they use) that states they can and will charge to a debit card if more money is needed for the rental. They also only at that time pointed out the small area where I could have declined the insurance coverage.
AJ kept me out in the cold and snow while signing the contract. He pointed out a few areas saying "sign here" and "initial here" never explaining what it was for, and I was too cold to ask. I was shivering so bad, I couldn't hold the contract straight to be able to read what I was signing. AJ refused to allow me to go back inside, so I signed and initialed so I could get into the warm car and finally get home.
I feel that Enterprise took advantage of my situation and the bad weather to cheat me into signing for coverages I did not need, and I feel they committed a theft by accessing my bank account without my approval to do so.
I would like the $150 they've already gotten returned as if it weren't for their cheating ways and confusing contract that they wouldn't explain, I would not have had those expenses.

The Metamorphoses
by Ovid
Analysis: Writing Style
Fluent, Virtuosic; Poetry in Dactylic Hexameter
Ovid has left behind the largest body of work of any Roman poet, and The Metamorphoses is one of the longest surviving Roman poems. To be able to write as much as Ovid did, a poet pretty much has two options: either have low standards and the ability to churn out endless garbage, or be a master for whom excellence is effortless. Ovid is definitely a master. He can generate perfect lines of poetry like it's nobody's business; at the same time, he has a wide vocabulary, a brilliant sense of metaphor, and vast learning – which he doesn't hesitate to show off.
Bearing in mind that the Metamorphoses is a poem, it might be interesting for you to know a little bit about its poetic meter. Nowadays, not all poems have meter, of course, and even in antiquity there were various prose authors who were considered poets because of the excellence of their style and imagination (Plato was one of these). All the same, when writing epic poetry – which is what Ovid set out to do in The Metamorphoses – the rules were inflexible: you had to use a poetic meter known as "dactylic hexameter." Try saying that five times fast.
Or wait, make that six times. Why six times? Well, here's the deal. Even though they look like Syllable Soup (this product never caught on the way "Alphabet Soup" has), the two words "dactylic" and "hexameter" actually mean something. Just to be tricky, let's start with "hexameter." The "hex" in "hexameter" is the same as in "hexagon," which you might remember is a six-sided shape. And the "meter" part is like…well, "meter," a unit of measurement. So a "hexameter" is a poetic meter with six measures. (We're using "measures" here in the musical sense, meaning the same thing as "bars.") Because measures or bars in poetry are known as feet, you might as well just translate "hexameter" as "six feet." Not that hard to remember, is it?
OK, but what about the "dactylic" part? This comes from the Greek word "daktylos," which means "finger." We might as well just translate "dactylic" as "fingery." So far so good? Good. Now take a look at your finger – any finger except for your thumb. You will probably notice that it has one long joint followed by two short joints. That's the basic reason for calling this meter dactylic – are you ready for this? It's made up of FEET that are shaped like FINGERS: one long syllable followed by two short syllables. From what we've already learned about the word "hexameter," can you guess how many of such feet are going to be in a line? If you guessed "six," give yourself a pat on the back: you are almost completely right. Why "almost"? That's because, in dactylic hexameter, only the first FIVE feet are shaped like fingers (LONG + short + short); the last foot is never shaped this way. It will be either: (LONG + LONG) or (LONG + short). To illustrate this meter in action, let's just take our handy-dandy translations, "fingery" (LONG + short + short) and "six feet" (LONG-short):
"Fingery | fingery | fingery | fingery | fingery | six-feet"
Pretty neat, huh? Of course, thousands and thousands of lines in that rhythm would start to get pretty annoying, so the ancients allowed you to plug in a (LONG + LONG) in exchange for any one of the first five feet. (This usually happened in only the first four.) This allowed a wide range of rhythms to achieve a variety of poetic effects and keep things interesting. To learn more about dactylic hexameter and the different ways it could be used by poets, check out this website. Unfortunately, this meter does not come through in most English translations of the work, but maybe this explanation gives you a sense of the complex artistry that went into producing Ovid's poem.

Blackberry has explained the design philosophy behind its uniquely-shaped Passport smartphone, and it revolves around the company's biggest market: business. Whether on the government or corporate level, business users differ from everyday users, and that's what the large display aims to meet.
Rectangular devices aren't bad, said the company on its website today -- "it's a great ergonomic design that drives content, media consumption and quick communications." That doesn't mean it is ideal for all uses, however, with business uses being counted among that.
The Passport features a 4.5-inch wide square design, which Blackberry says gives users the same "viewing space" as a 5-inch rectangular smartphone. The square display is said to better facilitate reading and browsing, offering 60 characters on a line rather than the rectangular smartphone's average of 40 characters.
Heathcare workers, accountants, writers, mortage brokers, and architects are a few of the named intended users for the device. "The Blackberry Passport will take you to new places on the best business trip you've ever had," Blackberry promises.

An originally scheduled Friday, Jan. 25, reception honoring Oak Ridge City Historian Bill Wilcox's 90th birthday has been postponed.
Organizers from the Oak Ridge Convention and Visitors Bureau explained the decision was made due to a winter storm warning which was expected to begin Thursday night and run through Friday evening.
The National Weather Service anticipates a wintry mix of precipitation spreading over the entire region — with ice accumulations of a tenth- to a quarter-of-an-inch possible, as well as two- to three-inch snow accumulations in some areas.
As for the postponement of Wilcox's birthday ceremony, Katy Brown of the ORCVB told The Oak Ridger, "We have not decided on the new date yet but, once we do, we will announce it."
A community treasure, Wilcox's most notable "trademark" may be the bowties he often wears to community events. His sharp wit, as well as his knowledge and promotion of Oak Ridge, has made Wilcox a local folk hero for many, many years.

A few months ago I was looking for a local design consultancy in Japan,
and had trouble finding one. I thought it would have been great if
design and UX-related information is organized geographically. I came up
with UXmap.com and began providing local UX information about
consultancies, labs, vendors, conferences, education, associations,
events, and jobs. I can see how it supports needs of both design and UX
people as well as their stakeholders. What do you think? Is there a need for this?
I'm looking for some guidance on response times for basis GIS
functions like panning and zooming.
We're developing a new GIS viewer for our information system but we
are not sure about the responsiveness to the end user.
I already found the web response time overview of the Jakob Nielsen,
but that is a bit to general.
Anyone has some suggestions or material ?
With regards,

The Heroes that Were Pigeons
The Ruddy Kingfisher (Halcyon coromanda) is a medium-sized tree kingfisher which is widely distributed in east and southeast Asia, ranging from South Korea and Japan in the north, south through the Philippines to the Sunda Islands, and west to China and India.
It is migratory, with birds in the northern part of the range migrating as far south as Borneo during winter. Locally common in southern parts of its range, the Ruddy Kingfisher is rare in Japan, where it is highly sought after by birders. Ruddy Kingfishers inhabit forested areas from the temperate to tropical zones, often in thick jungles and rainforests.
Due to its preference for heavily forested areas, the kingfisher's high, descending call is more often heard than the bird itself is seen, and these birds generally travel singly or in pairs.
The binomial name recalls the Coromandel Coast of India.
Reaching approximately 25cm, the Ruddy Kingfisher has a very large, bright red bill and equally red legs.
The body is rust red, generally deepening to purple at the tail.
There is little sexual dimorphism though some sources state that male birds are somewhat brighter in plumage.
Like other kingfishers, Ruddy Kingfishers generally feed on fish, crustaceans, and large insects, though in areas with less running water, they are known to take frogs and other amphibians.

DAB Radios from Amazon.co.uk
DAB radios have grown in popularity since they were first launched in the UK. Sound quality that's improving along with a huge network of stations with an enormous range of content means that digital radio scales heights that previously couldn't be reached by analogue radio.
Because of the way DAB technology works, broadcasters can transmit many more stations than ever before. Listeners in most major towns and cities in the UK can receive between 25 and 50 radio stations with a digital radio--in many cases more than double what's available on analogue. Digital radio uses the spectrum more efficiently than analogue, so it is possible to broadcast more channels using the same frequency.
When you're looking for a new DAB radio at a great price with convenient delivery options, Amazon.co.uk is the place for you. You'll find a great selection of DAB Radios that will fit both your needs and your budget.

On March 12, 2013, a drama was unfolding in Alaska as fifty four teams of dogs raced for the finish line of the world�s most famous long-distance dog sled race � the Iditarod. The first team of ten dogs passed the finish line in Nome about 10:30 p.m. local time, after a grueling 998 mile run from Anchorage which began on March 2. The winning team finished in 9 days, 7 hours and 29 minutes, with an average speed of 4.41 miles per hour. The last musher guided her team into Nome after noon on March 17, after 13 days, 22 hours and 26 minutes in the extreme environment.
The Iditarod Trail is built on traditional trade routes which date, in part, back many hundreds of years and began as trade routes and roadways for Native Alaskan Eskimo peoples. As fur traders arrived in the 1800�s, and later as the area was settled by miners and gold-rushers, this route became a major thoroughfare. Impassable in the spring, summer or fall, the trail was a winter time life-line from inland areas, where goods could be brought in from Nome, located on the Bering Sea, and Anchorage, located on the Cook Inlet near the Chugach Mountains.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying aboard NASA�s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Alaska on March 12 at 2250 UTC (2:50 p.m. local time), less than 8 hours before the first dogs arrived in Nome. Although not visible in this image, even at high resolution, the race was in full swing. In this image, the Cook Inlet can be seen in the lower center, colored with gray silt. The valley of the Chugach Mountains, near the location of Anchorage, is dimmed by afternoon shadows. Northwest of Anchorage the outline of Norton Sound, which bears a resemblance to the head of a cat, can be seen. Nome is situated on the northern shore of this Sound, in the area where sea ice remains close. At this time of year, the sun lies low in the sky.
Located nearly due south of this image, the rays reflect brightly off the snow at the more southerly latitudes, but the low angle creates shadows in the valleys. The far northern section of this image lies within the Arctic Circle. In that region, the late afternoon sun is so low that the land appears in the muted colors of twilight.
