Quick Guide to Geospatial Indexing with MongoDB and Scala
The latest version of MongoDB has introduced support for geospatial indexing. Joroen's (@jvwilge) post is a quick guide to geospatial indexing in MongoDB based on a classical problem:
I recently finished my bachelor thesis about collecting gps points and discovering running routes from those points. The main bottleneck in my application was counting the number of points within a certain radius of a point. You basically have to check all the points to see whether they're inside the radius. Let's say you have 10^6 points (and I have), then (10^6)*(10^6) steps are needed. I advised to use a geospatial index with PostGIS in my conclusion, but that's not really new and cool, so let's give it a shot with MongoDB.

Dr. Dre Teams With Monster For Headphones
With the help of Monster, Dre and Iovine hope to provide consumers with high-level audio performance headphones, meaning extreme clarity, deep bass and full power which they believe have been lacking in conventional headphones. By combining new advanced materials, sophisticated construction, extra large drivers, and a powerful digital amplifier, The Beats by Dr. Dre high definition powered isolation headphones have the capability to reproduce the crisp, clear sound that musical artists and producers hear in professional recording studios.
Dr. Dre says via press release: "Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound, but people can't really hear it with normal headphones. Most headphones can't handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line: the music doesn't move you. With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear and listen to the music the way they should - the way I do."
Furthermore, to recreate the quietness of an isolated recording studio listening experience, the headphones also feature powered ambient noise-isolation, allowing consumers to hear all the details and nuances in their music.
Convenience is also key as the headphones come with additional Monster iSoniTalk headphone cable with integrated high grade microphone and answer button for consumers with music-enabled phones.
"Dre and I have been developing these headphones for a while and in Monster we found a partner that could work with us to crystallize his vision and develop them to the quality level he expects," said Jimmy Iovine. "Beats By Dr. Dre is yet another example of Interscope's commitment to working together with its artists in developing new avenues to experience music."
The headphones will be available starting July 25th.

Albany, NY - The Providence Bruins fell to the Albany Devils 4-2 Saturday evening at the Times Union Center. The P-Bruins got their goals from Craig Cunningham and Maxime Sauve.
The Devils took a 1-0 lead at 7:30 of the opening frame. Darcy Zajac tallied his eighth goal of the season, while Eric Gelinas and Nathan Perkovich recorded the assists. Providence responded with a goal at 16:12 of the frame. Carter Camper held the puck and passed it to Josh Hennessy in the zone.

Albany retook the lead with a goal at 1:16 of the second period. Mattias Tedenby tallied his fifth goal of the season, while Steve Zalewski and Matt Anderson picked up the assists. The Devils added to their lead at 17:57 of the frame when Tim Sestito scored his ninth goal of the season. Perkovich assisted on the goal. Albany led 3-1 going into the second intermission.

But the pace of home price declines may be slowing -- finally. Manufacturing in Chicago improves.
Fannie Mae (FNM) offered a glimpse of how difficult it is to get a strong housing recovery going.
The nation's largest provider of mortgage capital said late Monday that more Americans were delinquent on their mortgage payments in May.
About 3.4% of single-family mortgages it owns or guarantees were overdue by 90 days or more last month, up from 3.15% in April, Fannie Mae said.
Still, the S&P 500's quarter is its best since 1998. Rising mortgage delinquencies and falling consumer confidence set off selling. Oil falls under $70.
Updated: 8:25 p.m. ET.
Stocks ended the second quarter with a broad decline, but bulls took some cheer when the losses were trimmed quite a bit at the close.
If the finish was a disappointment, the U.S. stock market's gains since March have been so strong that the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) finished with its biggest gain since the fourth quarter of 1998.
Blame sinking consumer confidence for today's decline, along with a Fannie Mae (FNM) report showing a big increase in mortgage delinquencies.
And blame a rising dollar that pushed commodity prices and lower.
The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) closed down 82 points, or 1%, to 8,447. The S&P 500 fell 8 points, or 0.9%, to 919, and the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) slipped 9 points, 0.5%, to 1,835.
The Dow had been down as much as 135 points around 12:20 p.m. ET, then slowly cut the loss by 53 points as the afternoon wore on.
With the close, the Dow ended the second quarter up 11% -- its best quarterly gain since the second quarter of 2003. The Dow was off 0.6% for June and is still off 3.8% for the year.
The S&P 500 ended up 15.2% for the quarter, its best performance since a 21% gain in the fourth quarter of 1998 and barely ahead of a 15.1% gain in the second quarter of 2003.
The coffee chain is adding fruit, subtracting additives.
Healthy is in these days, and Starbucks (SBUX) doesn't want to miss out on the game.
The coffee retailer said this morning that it is changing the recipes on some of its food items to provide healthier options to its customers. Starbucks will replace artificial ingredients with fresh fruit, and it will sell food without additives and preservatives as well.
The former Treasury secretary will soon face Congress.
In two weeks, former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson will be the one on Capitol Hill testifying about the Bank of America (BAC) deal to buy Merrill Lynch at the height of the financial crisis last fall.
Paulson will testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 16, several weeks after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was grilled about the takeover. It will be his first appearance on Capitol Hill since he left his post at the Treasury Department in January.
The 10-year Treasury yield is below 3.5%. Bernard Madoff gets 150 years in jail. Market volatility is the lowest since Lehman's failure. Oil tops $71.
Updated: 7:40 p.m. ET.
Stocks began what will be a holiday-shortened week with a solid rally built on gains in financial, consumer and energy stocks.
The rally was set off when crude oil jumped above $71 a barrel and started a surge in energy shares. It spread across the entire market as interest rates moved lower.
In addition, traders did some buying ahead of the close of the second quarter on Tuesday. Futures trading suggests stocks will open slightly higher on Tuesday.
The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) closed up 91 points, or 1.1% to 8,529. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) was up 8 points, or 0.9%, to 927, and the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) was up 6 points, or 0.3%, to 1,844.
The Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX.X) was up 4 points, or 0.3%, to 1,484.
The rally came as Bernard Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison for defrauding investors of billions in the largest Ponzi scheme ever.
The second quarter of 2009 will end nicely. With today's close, the S&P 500 is up 16.2% for the quarter -- its best quarter since a 21% gain in the fourth quarter of 1998.
The Dow is up 12.1% for the quarter, with the Nasdaq up 20.6%.
For the year, however, the Dow is down 2.8%, with the S&P 500 up 2.7% and the Nasdaq up 16.9%.
The market will close on Friday for the Independence Day holiday. The big news will come Thursday when the Labor Department releases its monthly unemployment and nonfarm payrolls report.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury drops under 10%. Mortgage rates drift lower.
For now at least, the panic on interest rates is over.
Bond prices are up today, and interest rates are down. And, if you're thinking of buying a house, the mortgage market may be coming back to you.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, on which mortgage rates key, fell to 3.47% this afternoon from 3.51% on Friday and over 4% on June 11.
Its shares rebounded sharply from their March lows but then stalled because of worries about GE Capital.
Updated at 5:15 p.m. ET
You almost have to feel sorry for Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric (GE).
Right now, Immelt and his company are getting no respect from investors.
Not that Immelt isn't trying.
He announced Friday that GE is opening what the company calls an advanced manufacturing technology and software research center in Michigan, good for maybe 1,100 jobs over the next five years.
The $3.3 billion natural gas deal will create biggest US energy company.
Updated at 5:20 p.m. ET
Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) this morning said it will buy Teppco Partners (TPP) for $3.3 billion, creating an energy company that will run about 48,000 miles of crude and natural gas pipelines.
Enterprise will pay $31.36 for each share of Teppco, which represents a 9% premium over Teppco's closing price on Friday. Teppco shares were up $1.43, or 5%, to $30.12 today, while Enterprise shares were down 33 cents to $24.96.

In a skillet on medium high heat, add the olive oil. Add the shallots or onion, asparagus,
ham, mushroom, and spinach. Let this brown for 5 -10 minutes or until the vegetables
are al dente. Set the vegetable and meat mixture aside. In a large bowl, add the milk,
heavy cream, and eggs. Whisk well until the eggs get a little foamy. Add the fresh basil,
salt, and pepper. Add the swiss cheese and the muenster cheese to the egg mixture
and stir well. I like to put this mixture in a large pitcher for pouring ease. Pour quiche
mixture into the muffin tart molds (leaving a little room free at the top to prevent spill
over) and sprinkle with a little cheddar jack cheese before placing in the oven. Bake in
a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until tart is no longer jiggly and firm to the touch.
Cheddar garlic tart crust
Place sifted flour, salt, and garlic in a large bowl and stir. Using a pastry blender or fork,
cut the butter into the flour and garlic mixture. Slowly add 1 T. of water at a time to the
flour & cheese mixture until you form a dough ball. Grease a jumbo muffin tin and press
a golf ball size ball of dough into each muffin tin. I take a little parchment paper cut into
4"X4" squares and place over the top of the tart in the muffin pan. I then add about 1/4
cup dried beans on the parchment paper to keep the tart dough weighed down while it
bakes at 350 for 5 minutes. After that, remove the beans carefully. Now, you are ready
to fill with the quiche mixture.
Plating this dish
Carefully remove the tart from the muffin tin and place it on a paper doily on a red plate
or on a balsamic reduction glaze. Then place a muffin beside that and a slice of orange
twisted for a garnish. To bring this to the table. Present the plated dish on a beautiful
plate charger, tablecloth, place mat with the parfaits to the side and the mimosa and
coffee to the other side. Wipe your plates clean before serving your dishes. Remember
presentation is the way to remember a fantastic dish.
Happy Mother's Day!

The Steal of the Draft
Category: The Off Season
This draft has been as negatively received as any draft in the last ten years. Pundits are saying only two or three of these guys are really going to make a huge impact on the league. Word is that most of these guys are going to end up as role players or guys buried on the deep end of the bench. At number ten, the Bucks were not supposed to be in position to get a significant contributor. But, the more time I take to think about it, the more my mind settles on two facts.
- Going to Europe is not a great move for high school players draft stock.
- Brandon Jennings is going to be a big deal
Rome looks like a beautiful place. The buildings are romantic, classical and have deeper and richer history than anything America has to offer. The food is often replicated but never duplicated in America. The best Italian food I've had in Milwaukee would be the pizza served by the good folks at Barbieres on Bluemound Road. Not exactly Acquapazza. Romulus and Remus are twin legends. The Colosseum, The Pantheon, Michaelangelo, I could go on and on. I've never been there, but it'd be on my top five international destinations. Now, if you're a terrific high school basketball player whose absolute desire is to be drafted in the top five of the NBA draft, take all those great things about Rome/Italy and throw them away. Don't even think about them. Because Rome destroyed Brandon Jennings draft stock.
If players don't want to deal with the NCAA's rules and regulations and exploitation, I understand that. Going to Europe is a terrific move if a players motivation is financial. Instead of worrying about the long arms of the NCAA law, Jennings got to focus on basketball everyday and sign a deal as the face of Under Armour basketball. Between the lucrative deal he signed to play his year in Europe, the Under Armour contract and his NBA rookie deal, Jennings now has money to set his family up for many many years to come. But the "Brandon Jennings Route" is equivalent to slacking in high school Spanish for four years and then moving to Mexico.
Sure, you have an idea of the language and probably think you'll pick up the intricacies of it in a few weeks, but you won't. People their have been speaking it their whole lives. Just like they wouldn't pick up on me making jokes to my friends about their mothers, I wouldn't get a lot of their language. It was easy for us to all assume that someone as talented as Jennings would be able to pick up European basketball with ease and take over games by the end of the season, but I don't think any of us gives enough weight to the differences in the European game and the American game. Jennings noted that he'll have to get out of the habit of hand-checking and grabbing since that is common practice in European defense. Apparently so is jerking around the minutes of talented player. Like a lot of NBA rookies, Jennings would sometimes play 30 minutes, and sometimes play six. And he was playing it out of position. People were lining up around the block to make the excuse for Jrue Holiday that he was playing the two and not the one at UCLA (admittedly, I would have been making the same excuse if the Bucks drafted him), well imagine doing that and learning a whole new brand of basketball with some grown men all over.
Yes, not only was Jennings now dealing with a new position, hand-checking, pulling and grabbing, but he was dealing with it from grown-ass men. There were no crappy little guys at the end of the bench. The guys at the ends of the bench were still bigger than your average college player and tons more physical to boot.
So forgive me if I give little credence to Jennings one season experiment in a brand new world. We forget so quickly the great player Jennings was in high school. He didn't win the Naismith High School Player of the Year on accident. He averaged over 30 points a game at Oak Hill Academy. That's the home of Ron Mercer, Rajon Rondo, Josh Smith, Jerry Stackhouse, Carmelo Anthony, Rod Strickland and Stephen Jackson among others. They don't just hand out awards like that to anyone. Jennings is a special player. He calls himself "Young Money" and appropriately enough he's young, a little slight and he makes me think of this. But I'm okay with that. The Bucks haven't had swagger since Don Nelson left. Isn't it time the Bucks turn their swag back on? And who better to lead them into the light of swagger than Young Money?
And if I ever see him on a segway (2:20 of video) riding down Water Street, then I know the Bucks have officially found their point guard of the future.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at email@example.com if you must use e-mail.

Wow. I never thought that anyone else would validate the Brandon Jennings-Soulja Boy comparison. Thank you for not making me the only one.
Ryan Braun has earned his swagger…Jennings must do the same.
Is he really the "steal of the draft?" I would say the Spurs getting Blair in the 2nd round is more of a steal than the Bucks getting Jennings at #10.
one thing's for sure…this'll be an interesting season, to say the least. what brand of interesting, we'll see.
we all know the steal of the draft is christian eyenga at the end of the 1st round. in the clip that they showed, he was lighting that ymca up. no way he was making it past the bucks. hopefully jennings quickly learns to keep his mouth shut and prove something on the court first. i do think he could take the job from sessions and yes, i did poop a little when they introduced him because i thought he was getting traded for earl clark. also, please no more soulja boy references.

K-12 Education
Alaska EPSCoR' K-12 program supports Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education efforts across the state. These include:
The Modern Blanket Toss. Funding through a separate grant than EPSCoR's main award, this project uses unmanned aeriual vehicles (UAVs) to interest Alaska high school students in STEM fields.
Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Seasons and Biomes. GLOBE Seasons and Biomes is a worldwide educational project in which K-12 students discuss climate change and learn about scientific inquiry through observing and documenting seasinak changes. Activities have included an international videoconference and Web forum; professional teacher development workshops; and class and individual investigations into plant and ice phenology and other climatic topics by K-12 students across Alaska and the world. GLOBE teachers and students have developed protocols for measuring climate change through phenomena such as times of river freeze-up and break-up, permafrost measurements taken through frost tubes, and mosquito observations and statistics. Alaska EPSCoR supports GLOBE by providing funding and personnel for teacher training workshops.
Permafrost and Active Layer Monitoring. The PALM project is the work of University of Alaska Fairbanks faculty Kenji Yoshikawa, who has installed permafrost temperature monitoring systems at hundreds of public schools across Alaska and the Yukon and taught students how to monitor the sites as well as to record and report data. Alaska EPSCOR is supporting Yoshikawa to expand and continue the program in the areas of our test case sites.
Association of Women in Science. Alaska EPSCoR partners with the Alaska chapter of AWIS to provide small cash prizes to female winners at Alaska science fairs.
Alaska Native Engagement Grants. Alaska EPSCOR is awarding two rounds of grants to UA faculty to undertake projects designed to increase the interest of Alaska Native K-12 or university students in STEM research. The first three grants were awarded in 2013: they went to UAF Instructor Jan Dawe, for "Integrating Cultural and Historical Knowledge with Ecological Processes Through Multimedia Visualization" (in connection with the Northern Test Case); UAF Upward Bound Director John Monahan for "An Analysis of Ecological Change and Adaptation in Shishmaref Simulating the Northern Test Case model" (Northern Test Case); and KPC Anthropology Professor Alan Boraas for "Generational Perceptions of Kenai's Changing Landscape" (Southcentral Test Case).

Newark Mayor Cory Booker is running for the Senate in 2014.
A 21-year-old column in The Stanford Daily detailing a graduate student's personal battle with homophobia has entered the national political discussion. The chief reason is the name in the byline: Newark mayor and rising politico Cory Booker.
In the April 1992 column — appearing on the Daily's website earlier this week — Booker candidly expresses the revulsion he felt toward homosexuals while growing up. "I was disgusted by gays," he writes. "The thought of two men kissing each other was about as appealing as a frontal lobotomy. Allow me to be more direct, escaping the euphemisms of my past — I hated gays. The disgust and latent hostility I felt toward gays were subcategories of hatred, plain and simple."
But in the column he contends he gained a greater understanding and sense of tolerance while at Stanford. In 1992, Booker was in his fifth year at the university, working toward his MA in sociology a year after graduating with a BA in political science. He was also a Stanford Daily columnist.
He writes that his increased tolerance apparently spun out in large part from conversations he had with a gay staffer at Stanford's peer counseling center.
As he noted, the counselor "told me of the violence [levied at homosexuals] — violence from strangers and family, horrible images of beatings, destruction of property and the daily verbal condemnations. It was chilling to find that so much of the testimony he shared with me was almost identical to stories my grandparents told me about growing up black. … Well, it didn't take me long to realize that the root of my hatred did not lie with gays but with myself. It was my problem. A problem I dealt with by ceasing to tolerate gays and instead seeking to embrace them."
Stanford Daily editors republished the piece as part of a larger project aimed at spotlighting interesting content from its archives. It is currently the most popular story on the paper's site, after quickly going massively viral online. The mainstream media also latched onto the piece, discussing it against the backdrop of Booker's recent decision to run for a 2014 U.S. Senate seat.
In a public statement, Booker shares, "This column has been brought to light 21 years later — and I'm pleased. Decades have passed since the 1980s, but LGBT youth (and adults) still face vicious hatred, physical violence, subtle and overt intimidation, relentless bullying and the tragic understanding that this nation does not view them as equal citizens under the law with the full rights and privileges that other Americans enjoy."
Importantly, Newark's Star-Ledger notes, "Booker has been a consistent advocate for LGBT causes since his 2006 election as mayor of Newark. He has refused to perform marriages in protest of marriage inequality, and formed the first municipal LGBT commission in the state."

Bankrate.com's national survey found the typical 30-year fixed-rate mortgage had an interest rate of 4.71 percent this week, up 5 basis points from last week.
Other fixed-rate mortgages took a similar track. The 15-year fixed mortgage was at 3.86 percent, compared to 3.83 percent a week earlier.
An exception was jumbo mortgages, which dropped 2 basis points, settling at 5.21 percent.
Mortgage rates frequently move in the same direction as U.S. Treasury securities, and rates on long-term government bonds rose across the board in the last week.
Although it is too soon to determine if housing has finally hit bottom, according to the S&P/ Case-Shiller Home Price Index, home prices were up just under 1 percent from March to April. However, prices are still several percentage points below where they were in April 2010.

This is a really comfortable boat with seating and thigh braces that makes you feel comfortable and stable. I highly recommend this boat to anyone who wants a shorter boat but doesn't want to give up the performance of their touring boat.

After a much-needed renovation in 2010, Platinum Pebble Boutique Inn went from "grandmother's house" to "New York City chic." Innkeepers Annabelle and Simon provide a modern, luxury inn experience in the setting of a historic Cape Cod home. There are some great perks, too, including the daily in-room breakfast, afternoon tea, free parking at the Earle Beach, and an outdoor pool. Its rooms are among the most stylish on the island, but rates tend to be more affordable here than at luxury competitors, since it's not located right on the water (though the beach is within walking distance.)
This historic, luxurious inn is a local hot spot, thanks to its extremely popular restaurant. But it's still plenty relaxing, with beautiful water views from the restaurant and all eight of the attractive, beach-chic rooms. The property is also adults-only, which helps maintain the serene vibe. Overall, the inn's small size and cool factor mean that it sells out fast -- so book early.
For the most part, this upscale inn and spa is charming and attractive -- but room decor is underwhelming when compared to competing properties, and the standard Pamper Me rooms are very small. Those not on a budget would do well to book the more spacious higher-level rooms, which also come with added extras such as fireplaces, decks, and whirlpool tubs. The main amenity here is Shui Spa, and guests can access its facilities -- the mineral soaking tub, steam room, and sauna -- for free.
The Chatham Gables Inn in Cape Cod provides an elegant and comfortable escape. Located in a quiet, residential neighborhood -- not on the waterfront -- this historic inn offers just eight charming rooms with incredible attention to detail. Beyond the sophisticated decor, the outstanding feature here is a full breakfast served each morning in the sunny garden room. Modern touches, including free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs add convenience, while some rooms have extra special amenities including fireplaces, private entrances, and even one room with a private porch and rocking chairs.
Nestled near the heart of Chatham on 25 scenic acres overlooking Pleasant Bay, Chatham Bars Inn has been a local staple since 1914. The true Cape-Cod style architecture is complemented by lovely interiors to match -- upholstered wingback chairs, antique-style turned-leg furnishings, and seafaring decor. But don't let the term "inn" fool you, this property is big and amenities-packed, with a beautiful spa, modern fitness center, scenic beach, fine dining, private chartered boats, and classic clay tennis courts. Thanks to the large pools (including a kiddy pool) and an extensive kids' club, the Inn is a popular choice for families -- but guests looking for relaxation away from the bustling kid-friendly areas can book a room in the adults-only Spa Suites.
This elegant, centrally located Provincetown inn has 43 rooms and suites decorated in a variety of styles -- from contemporary chic to classic Victorian. The Brass Key Guesthouse offers more amenities than you might expect from a Cape Cod inn, including an outdoor heated infinity pool, up-to-date technology, and a free nightly wine and cheese reception. This gated facility has lots of cozy outdoor lounge areas and free Wi-Fi, but some guests complain about the minimum stay requirement.
Carpe Diem Guesthouse & Spa is a relaxing escape from the party scene of Provincetown -- but still close by for guests who feel like getting out and joining the fun. The rooms are all named for writers and decorated differently -- all are stylish and charming. Perks such as a delicious free German breakfast, free wine and cheese hour, and the full-service Namaste Spa are also draws.
This historic inn in Cape Cod has 16 elegant rooms decorated in an English country style. They come with modern features including flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, along with luxurious touches such as fireplaces and soaking tubs. In addition to providing a gourmet country breakfast, this charming inn also offers afternoon tea, evening snacks, sweet treats, and port or sherry in the library. One outstanding feature is the heated outdoor pool with plush lounge chairs -- especially convenient since this inn is not located on the waterfront.
A Little Inn on Pleasant Bay offers historical architecture and nine relaxing, television-free rooms. Guests of this mid-range B&B will enjoy views of the bay and the Adirondacks, a delicious breakfast, and charming English hosts.
Snug Cottage is a quaint B&B with an excellent location and some great perks. The eight rooms are rustic and cozy, and feature fireplaces as well as modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and free Wi-Fi. Free afternoon treats such as wine, lemonade, and cookies, a delicious free daily breakfast -- and free parking in Provincetown (a rarity) -- make this a stand-out option. But even though it's just one block from busy Commercial Street, peace and quiet reign here -- so party people may want to look elsewhere for a place to crash.
