KOrganizer: Website Update and New Features
The KOrganizer website has a new section covering information about sharing and exchanging iCal calendars. First, we have an overview of calendar sites, websites offering calendars in iCal format. These sites have a huge offering of downloadable iCal calendars covering arts, culture, economics, finance, government, science, sports and many more. The second page offers the so called hot new stuff calendars that are available via the new 'Get Hot New Stuff' feature in KOrganizer. Users of KOrganizer can import these calendars from the 'Help' menu in KOrganizer but we also offer these calendars for download in iCal format. If you feel that something is missing in this new section, feel free to contact Cornelius Schumacher or Klaus Stärk. You're also very welcome to provide us with more iCal calendars to put up on the KOrganizer webserver.
Hot new stuff
The hot new stuff idea is really nice :-)

Re: Hot new stuff
If only the name was different! The word stuff should only be used in very informal writing, which a computer programme is not. Would it not make sense for it to be changed to something more dignified?
By Sinuhe at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Hot new stuff
IMHO the name is not appropriate. What is the hot new stuff? Drugs? Warez? MP3?
I certainly do not expect a calendar, even in KOrganizer...
By Anonymous George at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Hot new stuff
I also would like a new name for this functionality. We had a lot of problem in the French translation team to find an adequate translation for 'hot new stuff'. Colloquial English should be, by all means, avoided in KDE messages because it is unclear for the end user and difficult to translate.
Something like 'find new calendars / screensavers / etc...' would be better

Re: Hot new stuff
You are right ... sometimes developers tend to forget that some "stuff" needs to be translated as well ...

A few nits
Don't get me wrong, I love the hot stuff idea. Just a few mostly
+ How come if I click on the hot stuff .ics calendars at http://korganizer.kde.org/calendars/hotstuff.html
+ I'm not sure the Help menu is the best place
+ The Get Hot Stuff dialog has an OK and Apply button. Why?
+ Once I select a Hot Stuff calendar I am presented with a list
+ I don't always want to merge the new calendar into my current calendar.
I'm using KDE 3.1.2, btw. Thanks for the great work!

Re: A few nits
> I'm not sure the Help menu is the best place
I agree completely with this. So long time using korganizer, and I didn't see the function until right today when I read this news.
It's plain stupid to put something that is not "Help" related under "Help"
By Unai at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: A few nits
I also partly agree with the comment. I'm a long time KDE user and haven't found this nice funtionality until now, because I never looked in the help menu (its very rare that I need the help system).
But I don't think that you can win the hearts of the developers by calling something plain stupid. This puts the developer in a defensiv position and will always make it less likely that he listens to your opinion.

You're right, and I'm very sorry about that. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I just didn't find the correct words to express myself. It's just that whenever I do similar things (which I _have_ done), I call them plain stupid the same way ;)
Actually I've followed some parts of the work of the kdepim developers, and I can really say that the way they usually work is quite smart.
If I really did offend any of you developers, please accept my apologizes.

pinning of any mimetype to an appointment / todo m
taken from the korganizer paragraph of the kde3.2 feature plan
o pinning of any mime type to an appointment or todo mark
This by far one of the most desired features by me. I'm glad it's in the feature plan. Does anybody know, if work on this is going on already?
By thomas at Mon, 2003/07/07 - 5:00am
Re: pinning of any mimetype to an appointment / todo m
This is on the featurelist at least since KDE 3.0. I don't think it will be implemented any soon - sorry.

Re: pinning of any mimetype to an appointment / todo m
I don't quite get this, unless it's unrelated to the server mimetypes being discussed earlier. What would it do?
By hmmm... ? at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: pinning of any mimetype to an appointment / todo m
Basically it means, you'd be able to attach a file (or a link/url to a file) to an appointment. Imagine a situation like this: You're working on several projects and you're using korganizer to keep on schedule with different tasks.
It would be nice, if korganizer reminds you of a certain deadline in advance _and_ presents you e.g. the not yet finished kpresenter-Document as an icon.
This way it is possible to start work on the file again with just one click and without the pain searching it on your local HD...
By thomas at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Virtual Folders
This would basically extend the concept of virtual folders to all of KDE. Outlook also provides this function; in fact, you can use Outlook as a file manager (and many people do) and present different views of the user's files than a flat filesystem representation. If you have an event where you are doing a presentation, when adding an event to KOrganizer, you could "attach" a directory containing your KOffice files, and possibly annotate them to know if each is complete or still needs work. There are many possibilities here. Are vFolders in the works?
By Eron Lloyd at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
can we stack calendars, eg a personal calendar, a workgroup, a uk public holidays, an evening class timetable, a travel itinerary from a travel agent, and an exercise schedule provided by another program ( maybe via DCOP)?
Importing is pretty bad compared to dynamic composition of calendars.
By rjw at Mon, 2003/07/07 - 5:00am
Re: stacking
This already is possible with current CVS :-) Not perfect yet, but there is some time left until KDE 3.2 final...
By Guenter Schwann at Mon, 2003/07/07 - 5:00am
Updating Calendars?
Is it possible to update calendar entries obtained via "Get Hot New Stuff", e.g. if an updated KDE 3.2 release plan is imported will old obsolete entries be deleted? Possible implementation: cache all imported calendars and diff against the newer version.

Nice idea!
But why are the buttons not created with the same width for each button in the following image?
(sigh, and KDE people keep saying that GNOME is inconsistent.. (not meant as a flame))
By pleb at Mon, 2003/07/07 - 5:00am
Re: Nice idea!
Why should they? The texts for each button are of different lenghts so as a result the buttons having different widths is just consequential, isn't it?
Even if you would like them to be of the same width, what width should that be? And which buttons should comply to that additional rule instead to the current one, and why?
Re: Nice idea!
Actually, stuff like this should be covered in the KDE HIG. Sizes and spacing should be specified down to the pixel.
By Eron Lloyd at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Nice idea!
It is: be exactly as wide as necessary for the content to fit in. Nothing more and nothing less.
Please give an explanation for why you think this doesn't do the job and what rules you want to set up instead to ensure that the result is "great" to "alright" in all possible cases.
Re: Nice idea!
I should have been more clear. Sizes and spacing layout wise is what I meant. And yes, there are some UI properties that should have a recommended value in the HIG. For example, a QButton has properties for height and margin. What should the recommended values be? Qt Designer can make objects a bit "boxy" by default. In this case pixel-specific recommendations (note recommendation, not rule) could be provided. As far as layout, GNOME and Apple both specify pixel-level spacing recommendations:
Of course there has to be accomodizations for language localization and accessibility adjustments...
By Eron Lloyd at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Nice idea!
While I agree that layouts should be standardized I don't think hardcoding some pixel values like it seems to be suggested by both Apple's and Gnome's HIG is really future-proof at all. Layouts should be ideally completely independent from the used screen resolution, instead they should only define some classes for different UI elements/purposes and then let an (exchangeable) style visualize them in KDE wide consistent pixel values. While the current model used in KDE is not that flexible (yet?) many UI elements are already standardized KDE wide on the library level.
Re: Nice idea!
We kind of do that already with layouts, see KDialog::spacingHint and KDialog::marginHint;
By SadEagle at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Nice idea!
Thanks for reminding me of that. I guess we need an own HIG just for the sake of documenting these kinds of features. ;)
Re: Nice idea!
Is anything truly future-proof? ;-) While perhaps in an ideal world layout would be independant from resolution, but what would you use to specify sizes and spacing--percentages? Of course kdelibs takes care of some of this, but there are many things the developer has to be aware of, too.
By Eron Lloyd at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Nice idea!
It strikes me as very odd that in times where pixel artwork for icons is becoming deprecated and to be replaced with vector based artwork which can display fine in all resolutions, that the same systems are even supporting manually hardcoding anything pixel based as part of a HIG. To me this only seem to introduce twice useless work, first manually adding all those pixels everywhere and the removing them all again as soon as it will be obvious that hardcoded pixel values can only break a layout's flexibility to adapt to different resolutions.
As for the "many things the developer has to be aware of, too" be sure to make a list of all you can find, so not every single person need to get that idea themselves after some time (yes, I suggest to request additional features in kdelibs in case there's indeed something seriously missing so far).
Re: Nice idea!
>Sizes and spacing should be specified down to the pixel.
You can't specify something like button sizes. The required text sizes in the buttons differ a lot from one language to another one and you also need to take into account the font sizes.
Take for example: "Help" in english takes 24px on my screen, so we could set Help buttons to be 30-35 pixels wide. Right? Now go for the Basque translation: "Laguntza". It's 50px wide. It doesn't fit in. That's why it's better to adjust the sizes of the buttons according to the text they contain.
By Unai at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Nice idea!
The bigger it is, the more important it is or seems in the UI. It doesn't make sense for something to be more important just because it takes more letters to spell it.
By anon at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Nice idea!
Erm, excuse me but when the use of something makes only sense through the letters used in/on it then you just can't rip away them for the sake of keeping all somethings' sizes relatively reflecting their importance. And besides, who decides what's important and what's not?
I guess we better force everyone to learn Chinese where pretty much all text is neutral size wise so we can tweak all the "importance sizing" manually and present everyone the "one and only perfect UI". Other than that I don't see any sane way how this kind of "wishes" can be fulfiled without causing a lot of additional work for everyone with nearly zero benefit at the end.
Re: Nice idea!
They should be because it just looks better, more consistent and more polished.
ie. GNOME uses button boxes to make sure other buttons are the same width as the button with the largest width.
Now, please compare the following 2 images:
Look at the Prev, Next & Close buttons in the latter screenshot (the property dialog).. doesn't that look more consistent to you?
(I'm not talking about themes and toolkits here so please leave that discussion out of here, just in case someone starts blabbing about that)
Oh, and Windows doesn't do it the KDE-way either.. (buttons are as wide as the largest one)
Not sure about how OS X solves the issue.
By pleb at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Nice idea!
Windows does that for technical reasons: they use fixed positioning for everything. You can not do i18n without having extra space...
By Anonymous George at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Nice idea!
How would you do this with different languages? What if "Cancel" is 3 or 4 times the size of ok and apply in a different language?

Finishing touch & polishing
KOrganizer has many promising features, but I think it lacks polishment.
For examples colors, the first thing that you see when you start the app. Compare the following:
Or look at the "Get hot new stuff" feature (i try to avoid complaining about the name a second time, but it is hard not to :). The dialog looks pretty lost, like a prototype of a dialog that has not been finished. Or the strange Edit Calendar Filters dialog with that raised frame that I don't understand. Or the 'Publish Free Busy Information' function, which shows a address selector that seems to be completely unrelated to the menu name. No instructions or anything that could tell the user what to do. I could probably go on like that for at least 50% of KOrganizers UI. The most important elements, like creating a new event, is good though. And I also like the date selection.

There is someone on KDE-LOOK who has proposed better looks for Korganizer. I'll paste the link below. I've searched on kdepim archives but haven't been able to find any message refferring to this.
And let's face it. It really does look horrible atm.
By Mathieu Kooiman at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Finishing touch & polishing
I agree with you! The iCal (Apple) shown in your second link is much less cluttered, more accessible and more beautiful than KOrganizer.
Why not learn from Apple instead of reinventing the wheel? It's not about copying exactly the look and feel of Apple applications, but learn from them, what they have done right and improve KOrganizer by adjusting its current interface.
By tuxo at Tue, 2003/07/08 - 5:00am
Re: Finishing touch & polishing
> Why not learn from Apple instead of reinventing the wheel?
Because KOrganizer was already there for many years when iCal was introduced perhaps? Because people didn't care until they found something else they can brown-nose with generic stuff like "much less cluttered, more accessible and more beautiful"?
Please contribute your improved color scheme, better wording and suggestions for layout tweaks instead playing to someone else's writing without adding something yourself. Thank you.
Re: Finishing touch & polishing
One thing that I would like to see is the modification of the calendar views to more closely follow Outlook/Evolution, especially the full-week view. I'm working on a usability report for KOrganizer now, so these issues will be addressed. I think there are many things that KOrganizer can learn from it's predecessors (Outlook, Notes, etc.). Lots of people will just be needed to contribute to make it happen.

- iCal calender on the side shows not only the current month but also the next one. This is very handy as one often has events comming up in a time-frame of a month. It's nice to be able to look ahead. This is the reason also why analog clock interfaces are still popular, you can actually see how much time is in front of you.
- It is a great idea to be able to switch quickly between different calenders: iCal allows this directly via the side panel.
- Search function to search for meetings according to keywords. The search field is provided conveniently on the bottom of the application, see the screeshot of iCal.
- I very much like the colors attibuted to the different event entries in the iCal screenshot. The default color(s) of KOrganizer are pretty boring in comparison.
- Event entries have a title bar section that indicates the time. This is useful with many entries in order to immediately grasp when exactly a given event starts.
- The color of the default toolbar icons (Go to today, New event etc), don't fit with Crystall icons. Especially the shade of blue is wrong when compared to the blue color used in other Crystall icons (e.g. the home icon).
- The system tray icon of KOrganizer is outdated, it doesn't fit in well with the default crystall icons (e.g. too sharp edges).

More Specific summaries for hot new stuff events
I merged the KDE release 3.2 release schedule in my calendar, and I have a little suggestion. Instead of "Alpha 1 release", I would rather write "KDE 3.2 Alpha 1 release", and so on. These public calendars should have descriptive summaries for the events IMHO.
And I agree with the suggestions about the menu location (I discovered this feature in this article, not in the menues) and the feature title. OF course these are humble suggestions, not complains.
Thanks for the great work, please keep going!

OT: How does one make a feature change/request?
Please excuse me for my OT question.
I have recently compiled KDE 3.1.2, and was excited to see the capabilities of KDE. However, there was a wish for Konqueror (the file manager) and the way XIM input was handled.
From what I have been reading on the Dot, it seems as if most people enjoy the single-click to navigate. However, I tend to prefer to double-click on files/directories based on my habit from Windows and Macs.
In the double-click mode, a single-click will highlight the name of the file/directory in Konqueror (FM). When the text is hi-lighted, the hi-light color starts almost exactly on the pixel of the first character (left side for English/Japanese), but the right side has a space worth almost an entire character.
I know this sounds confusing, and if I could be told how I could ask for this to be changed (although it may not be acceptable) like the way Nautilus hi-lghts file/directory names (i.e., equal spacing on both the left and the right margin(?), I would include a screenshot of what I'm trying to explain.
Thank you in advance.

Out of curiosity...
Just out of curiosity, how much does this tablet cost? I didn't even know things like these existed until I saw a Wacom at the Apple Store a couple years ago or so, and I've been interested in them ever since.

Any additional way to help too?
Is there any additional way we can help with the development. I'm asking this because my sister has a Wacom tablet (Graphire4 or something like that). So is there any other way she can help?
By Jure Repinc at Mon, 2007/05/28 - 5:00am
Re: Any additional way to help too?
Sure, test new versions of Krita for errors in tablet features. The fact that not that many people own a tablet also means there are not that many people who are able to test new code.
By Eckhart Wörner at Mon, 2007/05/28 - 5:00am
Re: Any additional way to help too?
Yes and while non working tablets are rarely the fault of Krita, but a problem of configuration in Xorg or in a distributions, they also need help to test that part. And helping them is helping Krita indirectly ;)

Ask Wakom
have you asked Wacom for tablets?
By Max at Tue, 2007/05/29 - 5:00am
Re: Ask Wakom
Actually, it may be useful to ask for a 2 for 1 kind of deal. That is, if we come up with the money for 2, they give 4. While it is useful to have 1 freeby, it is even better to have 4 at low costs.
By a.c. at Tue, 2007/05/29 - 5:00am
Re: Ask Wakom
I've tried to contact Wacom several times but I didn't get a reply.
I don't have a graphics tablet...
... but I might one day and I use Krita so supporting it is well deserved.
20 euro on its way

By ben at Wed, 2007/05/30 - 5:00am
Why wacom?
Why only supported tablet for linux seems to be only Wacom? There are alot good tablets and even cheaper.
Like http://trust.com/products/default.aspx?cat=_Current&grp=TABLETS&type=12X...
I buyed one for my sister who used windows. On that time it didnt work on linux. After OpenSUSE 10.2 i tryed it again and it got reconized and worked as normal mouse. But pressing dont work as should (512 levels).
And it is good tablet, draws straight line with ruler and works great (on windows side ;-)).
And it is very cheap for A4+ size, only 75 euros so many art students could afford it.

A good thing to donate for
"Natural painting" is still one of the things I'd like to see on the OpenSource segment. I hope someday it will be a good alternative to CorelPainter. And if it's this promising as krita or the whole koffice package, I don't have a doubt about this ;-). This is definitely worth a donation.

Does anybody even use Krita?
Every time I'm at http://kde-look.org, the artists there say they created their work with The GIMP (or Inkscape in the case of SVG - leaving Karbon14 in the cold as well).
I've yet to come across anybody anywhere (outside of this thread I suppose) who actually says they use Krita.
I've got no artistic talent so I barely use any of this stuff. :)
Personally I think you should hit up the Trolltech folks for donations. :)
By Scott at Sat, 2007/06/02 - 5:00am
Re: Does anybody even use Krita?
I regularly have contact with a couple of artists who use Krita. Most of them do so because the tablet handling in the 1.x releases fits their way of working best. And, well, a user base is something that has to grow. Especially for graphics applications users aren't eager to switch at the drop of a pin.
By Boudewijn Rempt at Sat, 2007/06/02 - 5:00am
Natural Paint Lover
I don't have the funds now to donate but really want too. Before I discovered Krita I had to rely on painter for my painting.IMO-GIMP = Photoshop (style) and Krita = Corel Painter (style) and I prefer Painter's style over Photoshop's anyday. Oh and for the person wondering who uses Krita, I do. As well as Inkscape, Karbon, Blender,and a plethora of other gfx apps. To the developers PLEASE ADD A CUSTOMIZABLE WAY (HOTKEY) TO RESIZE YOUR BRUSH SIZE INTERACTIVELY (i.e.like painter (so I can finally ditch windows ;-) )
Oh and the color mixer would be cool too :D
By Darth Omnious at Mon, 2007/07/02 - 5:00am
Re: Natural Paint Lover
I saw the first version of the color mixer work yesterday :-). And yes, we'll try to add the hotkey to resize the brush size for 2.0.

Poll: Senate race still a dead heat
Hartford - The U.S. Senate race between Democrat Chris Murphy and Republican Linda McMahon remains locked in a statistical tie one month before Election Day, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.
The new opinion numbers, released Thursday, show 48 percent of likely voters supporting McMahon and 47 percent for Murphy with a 2.4 percent margin of error. The previous Q-poll had McMahon with a 3-point lead in late August; a poll last week by an out-of-state group gave Murphy a slight lead.
The new Quinnipiac survey also reveals enthusiasm and favorability gaps that benefit McMahon.
Fifty percent of McMahon's backers were "very enthusiastic" about her, while 27 percent of Murphy's supporters were as excited about him. (An additional 55 percent of Murphy supporters were "somewhat enthusiastic," compared to 39 percent of McMahon's.)
Overall, 45 percent of all likely voters held a favorable opinion of McMahon, but only 36 percent thought favorably of Murphy.
"Connecticut voters like Linda McMahon more than Christopher Murphy," said Douglas Schwartz, director of the Quinnipiac poll. "But the Democrat seems to be holding his own against the onslaught of negative advertising."
Murphy attributes his lukewarm showing to McMahon's big campaign and ad spending. The WWE mogul has poured more than $15 million of her family's fortune into this year's race after spending $50 million in her unsuccessful 2010 Senate bid.
"We've been outspent by a 3-to-1 margin," Murphy told reporters Thursday.
"Connecticut has always been a competitive state. We've had Republican governors for years, and any partisan (voter registration) advantage is dwarfed by the fact that Linda McMahon is trying to buy this election."
Meanwhile, McMahon's campaign manager, Corry Bliss, saw the Q-poll results as more voters embracing McMahon and her six-point jobs plan as they grow weary of Murphy, a 39-year-old "lifetime politician," currently the state's 5th Congressional District representative, who has faced unflattering revelations about overdue rent, mortgage and car payments in the late 1990s through mid-2000s.
Murphy fielded questions about the poll as he arrived for a Hartford campaign event designed to contrast his and McMahon's positions on federal tax policy.
He said the biggest difference is that his policies would help middle-class families and McMahon's would coddle the wealthy and grow the nation's deficit.
Murphy agrees with President Obama on extending most Bush-era income tax cuts beyond their scheduled Jan. 1 expiration, with the crucial exception of those benefiting high-earners, such as couples making more than $250,000 a year.
"If massive tax cuts for the wealthy created jobs, then this economy would not have collapsed in 2008," Murphy said.
McMahon, too, wants to extend all Bush-era tax cuts, but unlike Murphy and Obama, would let high earners keep their tax breaks because in a fragile economy, "now is not the time to be increasing taxes on anyone," her campaign said Thursday.
During a campaign roundtable event, Murphy told four Hartford-area businessmen that he wants to devote half the money raised by increasing high-earners' taxes to paying down the national debt. The other half would go toward investments for the middle class.
Two of the four men described themselves as high earners who want the government to raise their taxes.
Murphy said he worries "that people like Linda McMahon, who say they won't support a tax cut for the middle class unless the tax cut for the wealthy is included, are really jeopardizing those tax cuts for the middle class by holding those tax cuts for the middle class hostage."
McMahon's campaign said the remark is untrue.
"Chris Murphy is intentionally and willfully distorting Linda McMahon's record and positions," McMahon's spokesman, Todd Abrajano, said.
Murphy shared his campaign staff's analysis of McMahon's jobs plan - the centerpiece of her campaign - and claimed that her plan would add nearly $4 trillion to the federal deficit over 10 years.
McMahon's campaign called Murphy wrong again. The New York-based economist-consultant who analyzed McMahon's plan - John Dunham of John Dunham and Associates - determined her plan would cut spending by about $1.7 trillion over nine years, largely by growing the economy, reducing spending, and ending an unspecified number of corporate tax loopholes and "corporate welfare."
The two candidates managed to agree on a couple of tax policy issues.
Both Murphy and the McMahon campaign went on record Thursday saying they support extending the temporary 2-percent payroll tax reduction that began in 2010 and is set to end Dec. 31. But news reports describe how Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington have expressed little desire in keeping that tax break going for the benefit of an estimated 160 million wage earners.
The tax holiday has meant an extra $20 a week for a worker with a $50,000 salary, according to The Associated Press.
"I support extending it and finding a way that Social Security remains solvent," Murphy said.
The Democrat said he and McMahon also appear to agree on lowering the nation's "noncompetitive" 35 percent top corporate tax rate and closing tax loopholes to pay for it. But he questioned aloud whether McMahon would end popular middle-class benefits, such as the mortgage tax credit, to keep taxes low for millionaires.
McMahon's campaign dismissed Murphy's speculation as a "complete lie."
"It appears Chris Murphy hasn't even read Linda's plan," Abrajano said.
Murphy also responded to McMahon's assertion made Wednesday night at a Groton campaign event that he has skipped 74 percent of all his committee meetings since being sworn in to Congress in January 2007. But he did not dispute the figure.
"My voting record is 97 percent in the United States Congress," Murphy said, "Any time that I have a choice between listening to politicians and lobbyists testify in Washington versus listening to my constituents back home, I listen to my constituents."

31 August, 2012
An enduring "Fire"For many, "The Joshua Tree" was their first introduction to U2. That album -- a tight, cohesive collection of 11 well-crafted songs, each a masterpiece in a different way -- has understandably become the gold standard by which all future U2 releases have been measured. But it can be argued that without "The Unforgettable Fire", "Joshua Tree" would not have been the album that it was. Consciously rebelling against the stereotypes and typecasting that could have consumed them after "War," the band famously "broke up" (in the words of Bono) at the end of the War tour, reuniting a few months later with a new attitude, a new spirit, and two new producers who would become their creative collaborators and muses for the next twenty-five years. As a result, the album retains a timeless quality that still sets it apart nearly thirty years later. In an era where the vitality of a pop song lasts almost as long as the song itself, "The Unforgettable Fire" endures as a testament to the band's creative energy and restless spirit. Rejecting traditional song structures, the band exploration of each song on this record results in an album that comes closer than anything to jazz stylings. (No wonder then that Miles Davis is said to have requested to listen to the album as he lay close to dying.) From the travelogue of "A Sort of Homecoming" through the war chants of "Indian Summer Sky" to the peaceful lullaby of "MLK," the album's best qualities -- its exploration and experimentation -- are retained and embellished on this reissue -- in particular, the work of Larry Mullen Jr., who particularly shines on this remaster. Danny Lanois said that the drummer got more attention on this album than previously, and the force and subtlety of his innovative work clearly emerges in these refurbished mixes, nowhere moreso than on the gorgeous remastered "Bad". The bonus tracks give a more fully-realized portrait of the band on this record -- a band experimenting in the studio, playing with new sounds and new colors, and in the process crafting an extraordinary album both subtle in its craft and potent in its power.

Two of the most hypercaffeinated commentators in the financial blogosphere, Barry Ritholtz and Josh Brown, are forming their own investment advisory firm, Ritholtz Wealth Management, but that won't stop the blog-happy duo from blogging.
ThinkAdvisor asked Brown on Tuesday how their blogging busy-ness jibes with client portfolio management, and he said their absorption in financial news beats cold calling, seminars and similar activities by other financial professionals.
"We choose to spend our days being informed about policy. Blogging is part of our research. I write to find out what I think. I'm not writing ad copy. My clients know exactly what I think about every subject on the market," he says.
Investors, financial professionals and financial news junkies have long turned to Ritholtz's Big Picture blog and Brown's Reformed Broker blog to get their fix of market news and commentary—when they're not watching them on their frequent TV news appearances. Before giving their take on fast-moving financial markets, both typically offer a string of morning news links, doubtless causing many to wonder whether sleep is part of their daily routine.
Putting their ideas into financial planning practice is not new to Ritholtz (below) and Brown, who were already doing that at New York City-based Fusion Analytics.
Rather, as is common in breakaway situations, the advisor-bloggers wanted to do things their way, according to Brown.
"I had a really good experience at Fusion for the last three years," Brown says. "We started an advisory firm from scratch. We got many clients and many referrals. But it got to a point where it made more sense to be a standalone firm than a practice within a firm."
Brown says having their own firm will enable him and his partner to add technological capabilities and new services to their advisory platform.
"When you don't own your firm, and you're a practice in your firm, it's not up to you how your money gets spent.
"We want to bring on more CFPs who can work directly with our clients," he continues. "We believe the true value for the client is having a personal relationship with their advisor, that the person you work with is intimately involved with your situation. We really feel we want to staff up."
Ritholtz' "day job," according to his blog bio, involved "institutional strength number crunching," so it is perhaps no surprise that the firm plans on beefing up its technology.
"On the tech side, what used to be acceptable was a client being allowed to log into his advisory account and getting a report quarterly—'Here's how you did compared to the S&P,'" Brown says. "But clients want to see their investable assets alongside the rest of their assets. They want context as to how they're doing compared to every aspect of their life. We also want to have much deeper analytics for those clients of ours who are more sophisticated … that requires an investment in software, investment in education."
Besides the planned service offering enhancements, Brown argues the timing is ripe for Ritholtz Wealth Management.
"I think the industry has grown fat and happy; household assets are 10% higher than in the 2007 market peak. Retirement plan assets are 75% higher than 2002 level 10 years ago. As a result of that growth there's been some complacency."
Specifically, Brown argues that his team can sift through what he sees as a proliferation of investment products that have grown needlessly complex.
"So many people we see have portfolios that are preparing them for the last war," he says. "Their portfolios are weighted in with put options or a lot of precious metals or black swan funds. They're a drag on performance and don't offer as much protection as people think."
The reformed broker says he and Ritholtz see five to 10 prospects' portfolios a week, and commonly find them larded with private equity, hedge funds, managed futures.
"The data tell us they don't diversify as much as [their promoters say] they do," Brown says. "Over long stretches of time, you eliminate costs and you actually do better [by excluding them," he says, adding that he would say the same about currently popular risk parity strategies involving bonds.
"They do not lower your volatility—not as bonds are exiting a 30-year bull market. What they're really doing is compromising potential upside and adding layers of cost. So that's the kind of conversation we're trying to have with people," Brown says.
"We've got to get out of the mindset that volatility is evil," he adds, noting that investors' time horizons are probably "longer than they think," such that the overly conservative portfolios he and Ritholtz are seeing in prospects' portfolios are undermining their future retirement security.
To effect their strategies, Ritholtz Wealth Management, which Brown refers to as "primarily an ETF shop," will be focusing on forward expected returns.
"Valuation plays a big role in the types of tilts we bring to client portfolios. It's where the puck will be as to where it has been," he says.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I hate to see summer end. The Emerald Valley goes brown once the grass and hay are baled and that's a sure sign that fall rains can't be far away. Commitments have started to fill my calendar and I've already pulled the recipes I'll need for the meetings and get-togethers that come with the change of seasons. I've just finished baking a triple batch of pumpkin scones and I like them well-enough to share with you. They are very easy to make and the ingredients used to make them speak to fall. The scones are mildly spiced, but there is no mistaking their ties to Halloween and Thanksgiving. I use a small quantity of masa in this recipe. Masa is an instant corn flour that is used in Mexican cooking. I keep it on hand because I think it improves the texture of biscuits and some quick breads and muffins. I've also added orange zest to the scones and the whipped butter that I serve with them. The flavors of pumpkin and orange really compliment each other and I use the combination whenever I can. I like to serve these warm with whipped butter that is at room temperature. I'll reheat these tomorrow morning, and because I know they'll disappear in the blink of an eye, I've held one back for myself. I think of it as private stock. The scones are fast, easy, inexpensive and seasonal. I really hope you'll give them a try. Here's how they are made.
Pumpkin Scones with Whipped Orange Butter...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Orange Butter
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup masa harina (instant corn masa flour)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 egg
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/3 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons chopped pecans, optional
1) To make orange butter: Combine butter, confectioners' sugar, orange juice and zest in a small bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until well-blended and fluffy. Refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving. Yield: 1/2 cup orange butter.
2) To make scones: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease or spray a baking sheet large enough to hold scones. Combine flour, masa, brown sugar, baking powder, pie spice, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate smaller bowl, combine egg, pumpkin, orange zest and milk and whisk until blended. Add liquid ingredients to crumb mixture and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in pecans, if using. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead 10 times. Pat into an 8-inch circle. Cut into eight wedges and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm with whipped orange butter. Yield: 8 scones.

In our work, we frequently see owner-advisors employing strategies or behaviors that unintentionally reduce profits, dampen firm growth, and/or diminish the quality of their client services. I was reminded of this recently while working with a new client. Probably the most counterproductive thing that firm owners do is to micromanage their employees. It's a surefire way to minimize all that leverage that employees were hired to provide in the first place.
In case you skipped business school and have never picked up a management book, in, say, the past 20 years, "micromanaging" isn't a specialty for computer chip manufacturers: It's when a "boss" or manager monitors his or her employees a little too closely or provides a wee bit too much "direction" about how certain tasks should be done. That's not to say employees don't need to be shown how to do their jobs: We strongly believe in employee "preparation" and training (Preparation is the first of the "Ps" in our P4 Program). But, we've found that to get the best results from employees, as much as 90% of preparation needs to be done on the front end—not when employees are doing the jobs they are being paid to do.
As you might imagine, micromanaging varies from industry to industry, but in advisory firms, it usually takes the form of specifying exactly how employees are to perform their jobs, down to the smallest detail; frequently monitoring their progress while they are trying to get the job done; offering unhelpful and all-too-often conflicting instructions throughout the job; failing to listen to employees' questions or concerns about a task; expecting employees to approach each task the way the manager would; or closely monitoring when employees come in to the office and when they go home.
If you're like most owner-advisors, you're probably asking: what's wrong with those things? Without going into great detail, the short answer is that each of those mistakes (and many more) clearly communicates to employees that you don't have any faith in their ability to do their jobs, and that you don't trust them to do a good job. This, of course, is exactly wrong message. If you sat down and made out a list of the things it would be bad to communicate to your employees, these two would be right at the top.
Instead, we like to start by reminding ourselves why advisors have employees at all. The answer is that if you can take all the things off of an advisor's workload that you don't have to be a professional financial advisor to do, then advisors can work with more clients and service them better (and spend a lot less than 100 hours a week in the office, if that's important to you). So the more tasks that firm employees can do on their own, the less time and energy that advisors will need to spend on those tasks. Are you with me so far?
We've found that the most successful way to minimize the time and energy that advisors spend on nonprofessional tasks is to first, train employees to succeed at their jobs (as I said); and second, give each employee a sense of ownership for their job. To create a sense of ownership, employees need to feel that their jobs are important, and that what they do is important. They need to feel that their contribution is essential to the success of their firm—and the well-being of the firm's clients—instead of simply following a laundry list of instructions that anyone could do.
It's also important to let employees do their jobs their way. For one thing, their skills and abilities undoubtedly are different than the owner-advisors: to maximize their contribution, they'll need to figure out how to apply their skills to their job. Let them. And let them make mistakes along the way: it's the only way to learn their job. Finally, it's critical to focus on each employee's results, rather than how or when they got the job done. Reviewing the finished product tells them their work is important, and constructive guidance about how to do it better tells them that you believe they can.
If you give people the autonomy to do their jobs, and the coaching to succeed, you'll find they are more motivated, more productive and more innovative. They'll find ways to do their jobs and contribute to the success of their firm that the owner-advisor would never have thought of. If owner-advisors don't do these things, and continue to micromanage, they'll end up doing most of their employees' jobs for them—and not maximizing their own contribution to the success of their firm, thus never fully growing.

The Moselle, Saar and Ruwer rivers twist and turn in narrow loops through countryside where the Celts and Romans first cultivated wine 2,000 years ago. As a wine region, the Moselle is the oldest in Germany and the largest with vines on steep slopes. Terraced hillsides and precipitous slopes, which face either south or south-west, create beneficial microclimates for wine grapes but also rare plants and animals. The sublime rieslings grown in these conditions in the Moselle, Saar and Ruwer vineyards rank among the finest white wines in the world with their wonderful mineral notes.
The Moselle is the fifth largest wine region in Germany with 8,800 hectares under vine. Its steep vineyard slopes grow more riesling than any other variety: 5,273 hectares (approx. 60 per cent) are planted with the noblest of the white grapes. A speciality of the region is elbling, an older variety which is now only cultivated to any great extent along the Upper Moselle. The other major white wine varieties are müller-thurgau (also known as rivaner), pinot gris and pinot blanc. 90 per cent of Moselle wines are white. Pinot noir, dornfelder, regent and other reds account for the remaining 10 per cent.
The slopes where Moselle wines are grown were once seabeds, beaches and coastal mudflats. These prehistoric ocean floors folded up into mountains over millions of years and eroded into what we see today. The steep vineyards, which rise up from the banks of the Saar, Ruwer and Middle Moselle, are based on Devonian slate formed 400 million years ago. Quartzitic, calciferous sandstone forms the basis of the Lower Moselle valley between Zell and Koblenz. Vines along the Upper Moselle, part of the Paris Basin, grow in soils composed of fossil-flecked limestone, sandstone and marl, underlaid with dolomite. A characteristic feature of the region is 'Rotliegend', a rust-coloured rock of volcanic origin found at Ürzig on the Middle Moselle.
The Moselle and its tributaries have cut deep into the Rhenish-Westphalian Slate Mountains, creating the perfect geological and climatic conditions for wine growing. Shielded by these valleys, the region is one of the warmest in Germany. The rivers also make excellent heat retainers, which prevent damaging frost from forming. Mild winters and pleasantly warm summers are the norm here. The average annual temperature ranges from 9.1 to 10.5 degrees Celsius; mean yearly rainfall is 800mm. On average, the region basks in 1,370 hours of sunshine per year.
Connoisseurs can choose from literally thousands of different wines along the Moselle. Some 3,600 growers cultivate grapes in 524 vineyard sites. Nowhere else can you enjoy so many steep-hillside wines made by so many different producers. Around 2,000 estates bottle their wines independently and sell them directly. Any village that is close to a vineyard will have wineries where you can sample the wines and buy some for back home. Other growers deliver their grapes to the Moselle wine cooperative or to companies that produce and bottle the wines, then export them around the world.
The locals in the Moselle region are friendly, free-spirited folk who can also be stubborn at times, but really love to laugh. New experiences await beyond every turn in the river, as picturesque towns and villages follow one after another amid richly varied scenery. Other cultures have always had a role to play in the Moselle region: first it fell under the rule of the Roman Empire, then it was settled by Celts, Franks and Burgundian monks, before alternating between the Germans and the French. The region's proximity to France and Luxembourg carries through to the relaxed attitude to life and the Moselle-Franconian dialect. In many places, you might have to pinch yourself to realise you're not in the Mediterranean!

Smooth, delicious spaghetti of high plains North Dakota whole grain golden amber durum wheat, the best grain for making pasta. It is the hardest wheat and grows only in a few places on earth. First made by Eden in 1977 on vintage Italian equipment with brass dies and slowly air dried at the Schmidt Noodle Co., now the Eden Organic Pasta Company. Rich in protein, healthy fiber, thiamin B1, and magnesium. A good source of iron, niacin B3, and zinc. Packaged in a reclosable, recycled and recyclable box with a tasty recipe and its photo on the back.
* See Detailed Description for qualified FDA Health Claim
Eden 100% Whole Grain Spaghetti is made of organic, whole grain golden amber durum wheat grown on family farms, in North Dakota by those committed to building vital soil, cleansing the environment, and producing the safest and most nutritious food. Golden amber durum wheat is the most sought after pasta making grain in the world, favored for its excellent nutrition and its ability to create smooth firm texture. One of our 100 percent whole grain pastas providing essential whole grain nourishment.
Eden 100% Whole Grain Spaghetti is small batch hand crafted with care at the Eden Organic Pasta Company, a Detroit landmark employing traditional pasta making techniques and vintage Italian equipment since 1923, and the first food production facility in North America to be third party certified organic. Whole grain durum wheat flour is prepared in at our organic, AIB highly rated Clinton, Michigan mill. The flour is blended with purified water. Slow, thorough kneading prepares the dough. Using a traditional rotating screw press, the dough is extruded through an artisan brass elbow die, and cut into long strands that are hung on drying racks. A patient drying process using steam and air finishes the pasta perfectly, with about 48 hours in the final drying room. Each step helps to create spaghetti of exceptional flavor, texture and character.
Whole grain is the heart of a healthy diet providing the broadest spectrum of nutrients in the proportions that we need to grow and thrive. Commercial pasta is made from highly refined, chemically treated flour, processed in minutes through Teflon dies and ultra high heat or microwave drying, resulting in inferior flavor, diminished nutrition, poor cooking quality, and questionable value.
Elizabeth Gilbert, Tufts' Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts' Nutrition Daily', April 17, 2001, writes "Grains have received bad press recently. But only claims that refer to refined grains, those that make up the 'typical' American diet can be considered true. When you're talking about whole grains, it's a whole different story." She further states, "Not only is refined grain devoid of several beneficial nutrients, but its glycemic index is increased. The glycemic index measures the rate at which carbohydrates break down into sugar once they are eaten. When you eat a food with a high glycemic index, you will feel less full than if you ate a food with a lower glycemic index. But not all grain products have a high-glycemic index. Whole grain products, and other high-fiber foods, have low-glycemic indexes, whereas refined grains, grains that are stripped of fiber, have high-glycemic indexes. When grains get 'bad press', it is based on the premise that they have a high-glycemic index. Examples of refined grain products made with flour include white breads and other baked goods, pasta, crackers, and white rice, the majority of a 'typical' American diet. Do not be fooled by 'enriched' grain products; enrichment replaces most of the B vitamins like thiamin, niacin, and riboflavin, but it does not replace any of the fiber, vitamin E, or trace minerals from the bran, lost in the milling process. Eating a variety of plant foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is an important part of a healthy diet and offers numerous health benefits. Unfortunately, people tend to think of grain as a grain, rather than a refined one versus a whole grain. And since supermarkets are teeming with processed foods, whole grains are not commonly incorporated into the daily American diet; but, by omitting them from your diet, you could be missing out on some enormous health benefits."
Scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, "Whole grains help regulate blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates into sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index foods such as whole grains reduce hunger and can help to control weight." Scientists at the Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, "at least three or more servings of whole grain foods everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL 'good' cholesterol and high blood fats."
According to the FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers." The FDA also states, "Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Spaghetti is 100% whole grain, low fat, saturated fat and cholesterol free, and an excellent source of dietary fiber. Furthermore, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic 100% Whole Grain Spaghetti is sodium free. It is an excellent source of protein, phosphorus, magnesium, and thiamin (vitamin B1). It is a good source of carbohydrate, iron, zinc, and niacin (vitamin B3).
When you bite into properly cooked, al dente, Eden Organic Pasta, the flavor and character of the grain is evident. Unlike commercial pasta, it holds its texture without becoming mushy, and does not cause sleep inducing carbohydrate overload. Eden Organic 100% Whole Grain Spaghetti is made from fresh, unbleached, non enriched flour. It doesn't need to be enriched because we have not stripped the nutrients out of the grain.
Use Eden 100% Whole Grain Spaghetti in your favorite pasta recipes for real whole grain nourishment and delicious flavor. Great with any type of sauce or simply tossed with Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil and fresh herbs. A favorite in Spicy Spaghetti Salad in our recipe section.
