Martian Rocks Make Geological Clocks main content.
by AMNH on
The rock that paves Mars's vast Arabia Terra region is very ancient and cratered. Now, the powerful HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken striking images of wind-eroded outcrops on some of the crater floors. The outcrops' sedimentary layers appear to have built up with rhythmic regularity, suggesting that random, catastrophic events such as floods or volcanic eruptions did not create them.
So what did? HiRISE's high-resolution images allowed Mars researchers to use investigative techniques practiced by Earth geologists. A team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the University of Arizona reconstructed a 3D topographic map of a hilly region in Arabia Terra. They used this map to measure the height and pattern of the rock layers.
The results suggest that regular climate events built up the layers in stages. The best candidate for what would set off such cycles is the shift of Mars's tilt on its axis, which varies by a few degrees on a 100,000-year rhythm. These types of orbital changes on Earth induce periodic ice ages due to the planet's position relative to the Sun.
See more of HiRISE's images—including a movie of the 3-D map—in the latest AMNH Astro Bulletin.

Representative Ed Perlmutter (CO) sent out a press release yesterday announcing the reintroduction of his GREEN Act (Green Resources for Energy Efficient Neighborhoods) in the House of Representatives. ASLA EVP/CEO Somerville was quoted in the press release in support of the legislation.
"As Americans face extraordinary energy costs, the GREEN Act incorporates landscape architecture practices like site planning, targeted tree plantings and other green infrastructure techniques that will not only lower monthly utility bills, but lay the groundwork for more healthy, sustainable communities around the country," said Nancy Somerville, Executive Vice President and CEO of the American Society of Landscape Architects. "Congressman Perlmutter's forward-thinking legislation will make affordable and sustainable housing accessible to everyone."
HR 2336, The GREEN Act provides incentives to lenders and financial institutions to provide lower interest loans and other benefits to consumers, who build, buy or remodel their homes and businesses to improve their energy efficiency and use of alternative energy. The bill includes a provision to require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to consult with ASLA in providing sustainable practices such as green roofs, tree canopy coverage, and site planning and green space techniques for the housing units to become more energy efficient.
"This legislation proves that it is easy to be green. This bill helps revitalize our economy by making energy efficiency practices more affordable, accessible and achievable by consumers, businesses and government entities. By prioritizing energy efficiency practices, we can ease the woes of homeowners, lenders, financial markets, builders and our environment," said Congressman Ed Perlmutter.
Perlmutter's GREEN Act passed the House of Representatives in the 110th Congress as part of HR 6899, the Comprehensive Energy Security and Consumer Protection Act in September 2008. However, the Senate did not take action on this legislation. This year, the reintroduced GREEN Act, (H.R. 2336) is assigned to the House Financial Services Committee, to which Perlmutter belongs, and a hearing on the bill is likely to take place later this summer.

Yeah, we probably shouldn't get political. Sorry if I started to go down that road.
Quote from: CHEWIE on September 1, 2005, 10:32 PMYeah, we probably shouldn't get political. Sorry if I started to go down that road. Were you listening to Rush that day? I was flipping back and forth between him and Al Frankin to hear the extreems on the hurricane coverage, sounds like you were quoteing Rush almost word for word.
I had to cancel my toy run this weekend because of gas. I can't balance the two anymore.
As prices rise, it affects the poor much more than the rich. Gas prices would have to go up to $10-12 a gallon before it starts to put dents into medium income households. Since I'm not poor, its doesn't affect my toy runs in the least.I think the scarer thing is the rise in housing prices. Around here in California its gone up 400-500% in a few years. Good for me that owns property. Bad for you that rent. Most new families are being majorly sqeezed out of the housing market. Real estate is a far better investment than star wars toys. We should all stop buying star wars stuff, pay off debt and save to buy property. We would all be better off in the end and also save lots of gas from not doing toy runs.Believe me, if you care any kind of debt and you still buy every star wars item in multiples you will wind up dirt poor for the rest of your life no matter how much you make. Pay off all your credit cards, car and student loans and buy a house instead.
Believe me, if you care any kind of debt and you still buy every star wars item in multiples you will wind up dirt poor for the rest of your life no matter how much you make.
You assume too much...and when you do, you make an ASS out of you/NOT me. Several things are clear here.......-I have no trouble paying the gas, I just don't like the rate -Don't need to play the lotto...do You? -I AM using a card to purchase SW goods- yeah, that would be my bank account check card you dolt -I collect for long term- as in 10-20+ yearsWhy even come to this site, and buy 'cheap plastic men'(that are worthless)and to talk about how you think you know every thing about how/what peolpe should do with their life? Because you don't have one? Well I have one and I choose to respect others until they try to tell other people what to like/how to live-when that happens then ..I guess one good insult deserves another.

In 2011 we won an award for Best New Community Project. Join genealogists worldwide (and our relatives and friends) who have found a simple way to make a big difference.
12 January 2012
Meet the Team: Jill Ball
I am Jill Ball (aka GeniAus), a former librarian, teacher and IT specialist. Retired from full-time employment and fascinated by Web2.0 applications, I have embraced genealogy and family history with a passion. I will continue to be a Lifelong Learner while the brain holds up (see Continuing Genealogical Development on my blog).
I enjoy giving presentations and sharing my skills with other genealogists. My other passions are my family, travel, books and reading. My growing brood of grandchildren brings much joy and keeps me on my toes. Living in a semi-rural area on the outskirts of Sydney, I enjoy the leafy surroundings and peaceful environment (except for the sometimes raucous chorus of native birds). Living within an hour of the CBD allows me to enjoy the facilities and activities our beautiful city has to offer.
How did you hear about the Genealogists for Families project?
I had been following Carole Riley's efforts for Kiva and thought it was a great idea. When Judy formed the group, I heard about it on social media sites and took the plunge.
What do lending and participating in this project mean to you?
I am blessed living in Australia and like to share some of the resources I have with those less fortunate. We support a number of charities but I don't feel a real connection with them. Getting a begging letter each year and sending off a donation is cold and impersonal. I prefer giving loans rather than straight out donations.
With Kiva there is a sense of belonging. Joining with genealogists from all over the world for a common cause forges a deeper bond with that group. Being able to browse and select a project to support with a $25 loan makes one feel more connected to the recipient of the loan.
Did you choose particular borrowers because their occupations or situations have some significance in your family history or your own life?
Firstly I chose women as the recipients of my loans. I don't have a particular strategy, I just browse through the projects to find an area or person that resonates with me. I lean towards loans that are nearly fully funded so that they can be closed off.
I selected a pharmacist for my first loan as I have a daughter a few years younger who is a pharmacist in Australia. When I compared the life of Tuvshinjargal in Mongolia with that of my daughter they were poles apart. Giving the loan to Tuvshinjargal not only enables her to stay afloat and support her family but it will make medicine available to the community in which she lives.
I chose Thu from Vietnam for my second loan. She is representative of many people I have seen in Asian countries who work hard on small street stalls to eke out a living. When we travel I try to support hardworking people like Thu by buying their wares. I do not bargain with them; I always pay the price they request for their wares to help them make a little more profit. Hopefully my loan will help Thu grow her business. For similar reasons I selected Conchita from the Philippines for my third loan.
For my fourth loan I decided to move from Asia to Africa. I chose Thiane who runs a fruit and vegetable business.
I would like to make more loans in the health and education areas but when I have been selecting projects there have been few available in these categories.
Do you have a strategy for raising funds or saving for your $25 loans?
I don't have a particular strategy for raising funds. $25 that buys half a dozen cups of coffee in Australia can make a world of difference to the recipients of Kiva loans so from time to time I will dip into the family coffers and add a couple more loans.
What is your Web site or blog?
Geniaus (http://geniaus.blogspot.com)
What are your main family history interests?
My research interests can be found on the family website, http://www.geniaus.net. I don't think I will ever stop researching and the family history will never be completed.
Due to its dynamic nature I enjoy using digital media for publishing information on the ancestors. My interests around family history include blogging, the use of social media and the application of ICTs to enhance traditional research.

Join Genealogists for Families. Together we can make a difference!
3 comments:
Jill, thanks for your support for the Genealogists for Families project. After reading your excellent blogs for quite a while, I look forward to meeting you in person, perhaps at a Society of Australian Genealogists seminar in Sydney later in the year. Or are you going to Congress 2012 in Adelaide in March?ReplyDelete
I'm pleased you don't haggle. I get upset when I hear how people haggle for a lower price when the extra few dollars means nothing to the purchaser but so much for the seller.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 21, 2012
I agree with you & Sharon - quite often the difference is <$1 to us but each bit makes an impact on their economic well being. I also like the sense of engagement with both the community and also the recipients of the loans. We've made a few in Kenya because our daughter will be working there in an aid program.ReplyDelete

I'm new to Blender and have been going thorough a tutorial series. I love the app and findi it to be very intuitive now that I have a basic understanding of the interface.
I am experiencing a strange issue and I am not sure if it's a bug or my lack of Blender experience.
I'll perform a function like scaling (s) or assign a color/material to an object and then the Blender keyboard shortcuts stop working as if the Keyboard focus is elsewhere. However, the mouse works fine.
The only way I can get keyboard input working is by switching to another program then go back to Blender.
I can reproduce this easily and it has happened to my at least 10 times already this morning.
I am running Blender 2.64 on an 27" iMac with 12GB of ram and a 1TB hard drive running OS X 10.7.5.
Keyboard input losing focus...
The interface, modeling, 3d editing tools, import/export, feature requests, etc

Hope College has established "Outreach," a new biannual diversity journal focused on proactively sharing the message of the accomplishments, progress and challenges in making the college a more diverse institution of higher learning.
"Outreach," which is debuting this month, will be distributed to a growing number of alumni, parents, friends, donors, foundations and corporations who are interested in the issues of diversity in higher education in general, and the priority that diversity has among the college leadership and within Hope's strategic plan specifically.
"Outreach" is the first-ever publication at Hope devoted to the intentional communication of diversity and inclusion.
Published by the Office of College Advancement, the first issue of "Outreach" includes the "President's Corner," a message from President James Bultman on the importance of increasing the visibility and awareness to Hope's commitment to diversity. In addition, "Faculty Perspectives," "Diversity and International Education," "Alumni Reconnections," and "A Word of Hope" communicate Hope's message of "improving progress in racial, ethnic, geographic and economic diversity" - a stated theme in Hope's strategic plan--from the faculty, alumni and student perspectives. "Where we Stand," a section that reports key data on cultural and ethnic diversity in a variety of areas, will be a standard part of the journal.
The journal's editorial team consists of an interdepartmental team with responsibilities in advancement, alumni relations, public relations and multicultural education: Eric K. Foster, advancement officer for diversity and inclusion and editor-in-chief of Outreach; Jason Cash, campaign associate for college advancement; Alfredo Gonzales, associate provost and dean for multicultural and international education; Vanessa Greene, director of multicultural education; Greg Olgers, director of news media services and managing editor of "News from Hope College"; Mary Remenschneider, director of alumni and parent relations; and Scott Wolterink, vice president for college advancement. Hilary Bosscher '08 of McBain, student communications assistant, was also instrumental in the development and production of the first issue.
Along with the profiles, "Outreach" will convey for readers the notable goals for College Advancement to secure endowed funds for a variety of diversity initiatives. Those goals and needs range from providing more opportunities for Hope students to study abroad in addition to obtaining funds for attracting more international students to Hope; to securing endowed funds for scholarships; to increasing support from foundations and corporations that enable the improvement of academic programs and the institutional commitment to diversity.

Oh my GOD!!
I spotted a banner for this comic from Mac Hall, which has sadly fallen on dark times in terms of updates as any of us who've done comics have no doubt also experienced. I've unsuccessfuly attempted two webcomics now
8:1 is incredible. I love all the characters, and I can't help wanting Lori to be ok, and naturally I want happiness for Mary too but they're all so good in their angst.
I love the art style and the content, and I think the plot comes along at the perfect pace (even if that is over 3 years!), and it's definitely not too angsty and emo, it's perfect
So thank you for making such an excellent comic. You've made a fan for life!
With love,

Reed signs with Jets, reunites with former coach Ryan
Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips called having had the opportunity, however brief, to work with Ed Reed "a privilege and an honor" - never mind that Reed had said after the 27-24 loss at Arizona on Sunday that the team had been "outplayed and out-coached."
Phillips, of course, served as acting head coach against the Cardinals with Gary Kubiak recovering from a mini-stroke. But Phillips insisted Reed's disparaging comment didn't bother him. Instead, he praised Reed as a "future Hall of Famer" and for being a "great (influence) in the locker room," even if he didn't contribute much on the field in the seven games he played for the Texans, all of them losses.
Reed, who was released Monday and signed with the New York Jets on Thursday, wasn't active for the Texans' two season-opening victories, having missed all of the offseason sessions and training camp because of arthroscopic hip surgery that the organization didn't know he needed after signing him as a free agent from Super Bowl champion Baltimore.
In 12 seasons with the Ravens, he intercepted 61 passes and made nine Pro Bowl teams. Phillips admitted Reed's lack of productivity in Houston - no picks, no sacks, only 14 solo tackles - was a major disappointment because, he said, "We thought he could be the J.J. Watt of the secondary.
"Things didn't work out that way. The guy had a major operation, you know? He didn't have any offseason. He didn't have any training camp. He wasn't able to play until the third game of the year. I think that was a big factor, in my estimate. He did all the right things and wanted to do things well. I wish him well with the Jets."
Speaking with the media in New York, Reed spoke well of his Texans experience, saying he has "a lot of respect for (the Texans), what they do and what they're going through." His decision to sign with the Jets hinged on his history with Rex Ryan, his former defensive coordinator with the Ravens, and knowledge of Ryan's scheme. Although the Patriots also contacted him, Reed conceded, "Going there, trying to learn a new situation, probably would have been difficult."
The Texans do not face the Jets this season but play New England on Dec. 1. It was Reed's success against the Patriots over the years with the Ravens that had made the Texans covet his services for what they thought would be a Super Bowl run.
Ryan called Reed "a great signing for us" and said the 35-year-old safety is in "outstanding shape" and "still moves well. He's gonna help this football team, without question."

The Laksa That Took A Detour
It doesn't take much to feel connected to someone or something. Not years, not weeks. A few forays are enough. That's how I feel about South-East Asia.
First, there was Thailand, then Japan (not strictly SE Asia, but close), Singapore, then recently I went to Taiwan, and on my way back, to Thailand again. Recently, I made plans for a trip to Malaysia and Indonesia but they fell through. With all this, I feel extremely connected to the region :) despite the trips being rather fleeting.
When I first visited Thailand, I could not stomach the smells of food wafting off the carts on the streets. Trying to spend prudently in Chiang Mai, my friend and I opted for the plain (and not the spicy) sausage and divided it into two. We immediately spat it out because it was sweet, so unlike what we expected from a sausage that we told ourselves not to be cheap and then bought the spicy, herbal one which cost 20 Baht. Thankfully, it was delicious. We tried much other street food, but the smell would get to us, and in Bangkok, we ate at a Lebanese restaurant close to our hotel for two days. Even the famous Thai yellow curry was relished in the sanitised confines of our hotel's restaurant, and the som tam was had trying to forget that the vegetarian version I wanted was made in the same mortar and pestle that had, for the previous customer just moments ago, mashed tiny crabs that looked like upturned dead frogs (which was why I had opted for vegetarian).
More travel exposed me a little more to sushi but I think I will stick to the vegetarian version, substitute though it may be. Walking in the hot sun in Singapore only made us thirsty, not hungry, and we didn't eat much. The one day that we could have, we were whisked off to the local branch of a well-known Chettinad restaurant by our well-meaning Indian friends - neither my attempts at deflecting the invitation nor my request for local food were comprehended.
By the time I went to Taipei, Taiwan, and visited its street markets, I didn't smell anything anymore. I didn't even remember there would be a smell. I tasted century eggs and the seafood dumplings that tasted of an unidentifiable ingredient went down my throat without any hesitation. I would have probably tried stinky tofu had I known how to identify it, but all the tofu looked benign to me. (There's no reason why the stink should reflect in the looks, is there? Some of the most snazzy and snotty characters I've come across used to reek, and wouldn't wash their hands after using the toilet.) But I digress - I don't mean that I liked everything I ate, but didn't feel so strongly about it either.
Researching Malaysia reminded me of Laksa. I wasn't very disappointed when the plans fell through but soon after, Aparna's post on a vegetarian laksa had me itching to make it soon. I finally made it yesterday. I was tired of meat and seafood so I too made it vegetarian. I went to the original recipe that she had mentioned, Ottolenghi's, and took it from there. By the time it was finished, it was laksa more in spirit and less in, well, the flesh, in a manner of speaking.
I used an onion instead of shallots. I used the notoriously hot red chilli pickle from Andhra Pradesh instead of sambal oelek. I used dry lemongrass bought in Thailand three years ago.
At first, I didn't have any bean sprouts, and substituted the tofu puffs with paneer/cottage cheese (a bad idea). I ignored the sugar but finally used a spoon of jaggery when the sourness set my teeth on edge.
And though I initially planned to use up a packet of soba noodles, I decided to go with rice. Short grain matta rice. You see, I just bought a 5-kilo bag because the one-kilo ones were no longer to be found, and as the other food in the house would go better with rice, I decided to use a bit of that for the laksa as well.
It was good, but something was missing. I added some salt, it made it better but that was not it. This was the vegetable-paneer-rice-laksa-lime combination
Then for the next meal, to the above, I added a hard-boiled egg and topped it with some sprouts and used lots of pepper. The lime wedge was there but I forgot to add extra. It was great!
For tonight's meal, I fried some tofu with a tablespoon of white flour mixed in water, and ate it with rice and sprouts and pepper - this time, the lime was forgotten, and the vegetables were given a go-by. Not so great, and more filling than I would have liked it to be!
I was tempted to use white rice for this meal as we needed to cook some rice and matta rice takes much longer to cook, but The Spouse said white rice would be overwhelmed by the laksa, and that the plump and sturdy matta would hold its own, so I went with matta again.
I would go for the second option - the one with the egg, sprouts, rice and vegetables. Next, I'm looking forward to making khaw suey - now if only I'd known I could look for it in Chiang Mai ...

Looks yummy!!ReplyDelete
Nice to hear about your experiences with food in SE Asia. If a non-vegetarian felt queasy I can't imagine what vegetarians would do. This looks like an interesting dish. You have adapted well. :)ReplyDelete
Love this veggie version of Laksa. A complete meal in itself.ReplyDelete
:) That was one lovely laksa- love the Andhra pickle substitution - excatly something I would do ;)ReplyDelete
Hope you love the khow suey too, I made it for a potluck this weekend and it was literally scraped off the bottom of the dish (note to self, get quantity right next time!)
Wish you and your family a very Happy Diwali!
btw, how do I get links to my blog to appear in the comments section of the post? I thought that was the track back option in Blogger...and that has been ticked. so what else do I have to do?ReplyDelete
I've always regretted not tasting vegetarian laksa during my 6 yrs in Singapore.. I must try this veggie version sometime. Love all your substitutions :)ReplyDelete
I think I like your version of laksa too. The Andhra pickle does it for me, as does the matta. Can you believe I cannot get matta here? :(ReplyDelete
The sprouts really make all the difference, I feel.
Anyways, I understand that a laksa is only as good as you want it to be, by adding whatever you want to eat in it. :)
Looks yum. With Eggs it's even healthier and tasty.ReplyDelete
Happy Deepavali to both of you. Kids have lot of holidays in next 2 months here, so trying to enjoy the time and make it to a short vacation in Dec. I will blog from Jan.
Hugs to you! :)
I loved to hear about your travels and experiences in southeast Asia! I've never been so it's like I get to live vicariously through you. I've never had laksa but this sounds tasty!ReplyDelete
Love to hear your travel account here..Never had Laksa, looks something like a comforting soup type food..and I do like lots of SE Asian foods but I am afraid of some exotic food preparations..Wish you and yours a very happy Diwali..hugs and smiles
The weather here is calling for this. A lovely one pot brew!ReplyDelete
Happy Diwali to you and all your loved ones.
That first photograph looks so enticing. I was fortunate to have Laksa made for me by a friend from Indonesia and it was soooooo good.ReplyDelete
I have been following another friend who is @ Chiang Mai now, and your post just made me chuckle. This Laksa is a complete meal. Soul food for a cold night.ReplyDelete
The next time you are in singapore, send me a mail OK? Would love to explore and eat with you!ReplyDelete
This version of the laksa sounds a lot appetizing. I find the laksa here a bit too heavy but I love it all the same.

On this day — the Texas Legislature and state leaders applaud President Obama and the US military for finding and killing Osama bin Laden; how the Houston Chronicle dealt with the late-breaking news last night; Dewhurst offers a few details on his CIA career; the controversial sonogram bill passes the Senate; Ogden is looking for ways to break the Senate budget impasse; efforts to shave the state's natural gas tax breaks fail in the House, which also voted to decommission the Railroad Commission; and tape from the White House Correspondents Dinner.
***Texas Legislature Salutes a Mission Accomplished
The Texas House and Texas Senate both passed resolutions yesterday that applauded President Barack Obama, former President George W. Bush, the US military and the team of Navy SEALs for their
respective roles in hunting down terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden. Both resolutions passed unanimously, but there was some color that was unique to the Texas Legislature. The Houston Chronicle's Patti Hart wrote about the moving ceremony where Sen. Brian Bidwell, who was badly injured in the terrorist attack on the Pentagon, led the Senate in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Today, Birdwell solemnly reflected on the death of the man who organized that attack, saying he hoped that Osama Bin Laden's death would send a message to potential enemies of the U.S. that "the American public will be unrelenting."
"The culture that fosters this hatred is not dead," he said. While Bin Laden was the face of that movement, "it's very possible someone else will step forward to be that face."
Birdwell told Capitol reporters today that his recovery — with 32 surgeries — brought "days that I would have traded for death."
But he said his mood was one of "quiet reflections" on co-workers who died and the families who rallied behind his wife, Mel, during his recovering. Mel Birdwell kept a journal that became the family's memoir to that experience, "Refined by Fire."
"There is no reason I should have survived, other than the hand of the Lord," Birdwell said. The suffering that he and other victims endured "delineates the capacity for sacrifice and suffering that was bred in the American spirit."
The scene in the House was also emotional as Rep. Joe Farias offered his resolution that was unanimously accepted by the entire House to much applause. (Video courtesy of The Texas Tribune)
Dewhurst, Perry Take Different Paths on Bin Laden Statements
Both Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst took decidedly different tacks to the statements released by their offices regarding the death of Bin Laden. While Dewhurst gave credit to both President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush, Perry's letter did not. The language was of note because most statements issued at both the federal and state level noted the contributions of both men in the search for the mastermind of the Sept. 11th attacks; the Chronicle/Express-News' Nolan Hicks reports:
Perry has long been known to have an incredibly testy relationship with the Bush family, going so far as to criticize then-Pres. George W. Bush while he was campaigning for Rudy Giuliani in Iowa during the 2008 Republican primary/caucus battles. Perry has also been harshly critical of Pres. Barack Obama, claiming that the President has pursued unconstitutional policies and secession was an option for Texas.
Recently, he has slammed Obama
for quickly delivering federal aid to areas of Alabama and Mississippi that were struck by a series of massively powerful tornadoes, while not acting quickly enough to help Texas pay for fighting its wildfires. The storms that struck the deep South killed more than 320, the worst natural disaster to strike the country since Hurricane Katrina in terms of lives lost.
***The Media Reacts to Bin Laden's Death
The reaction from the press was fast and furious as soon as the White House announced the President needed airtime to tell the nation about an undisclosed matter of national security. Newspaper editors and designers across the country junked front pages (more on that below)
– TIME Magazine announced on Monday they would release a special edition of the venerable newsweekly on Thursday to commemorate the death of Bin Laden.
– The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe and the Detroit Free-Press were among the newspapers that had to rip up stop or hold their presses, rip up their front pages and start all over again as the news broke. "Skip the deadline," said one editor at the Tribune. Many of the nation's largest papers boosted their press run due to the nature and interest in the story as well. The Houston Chronicle was only about half an hour away from deadline when the story broke, so they delayed sending the paper to the presses long enough to get the story on the front page.
***Secret Agent Man
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst offered up a few details about his service in the CIA during his Tuesday press briefing — specifically, that he was running agents as a case officer in the clandestine service while serving in Bolivia. His service, which fell in-between coups (something of a feat for Latin America in the 1970's), has long been the subject of speculation.
Here's Dewhurst on his CIA service and how he started to work for the agency (rough transcript):
What I can tell you is that when I was in college I was planning on going to law school, which I eventually did, but I discovered in college that a very very smart very knowledgeable lawyer [who] happened to be the dad of my college roommate and he had been in the CIA for years.
And he talked to me about the high professionalism, the dedication, the intelligence level of [the] men and women who were willing to make a career out of being in the shadows, not being seen to protect Americans [—] and keep in mind I'm a little older than you are Peggy [—] and this was during the Cold War and so I…
…There was a recruiter on the campus where I was going and so I went by and visited with them and they invited me to Washington and I went through, for years and years and years, a lot of polygraphs, which they do, so I can truthfully say that I am the most vetted politician in the state of Texas.
[I] went through training [and] I had an interest in going abroad and so I was what you call a case officer. In other words, I ran agents, so without going in more detail.
***Sonogram Bill Passes Senate
The Texas Senate passed controversial legislation that adds a series of perquisite that must complete before any abortion can be performed in Texas. The Houston Chronicle's Joe Holley reports:
State Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, sponsor of the Senate version of the bill, said he was confident the legislation would pass the House and make it to the governor's desk, thereby giving Texas what he called "one of the strongest bills dealing with this issue in the country."
Labeled "emergency" legislation by Gov. Rick Perry early in the session, the bill would require the image to be shown to the woman at least 24 hours before an abortion is performed. It also would require doctors or medical professionals to play audio of the fetal heartbeat if there is one and point out to the woman the arms, legs and internal organs of the fetus.
A woman could choose not to view the sonogram or hear the heartbeat but would be required to listen as the medical professional points out the arms, legs and internal organs that are visible on the screen.Victims of rape and incest would be exempt from the sonogram requirement, under Patrick's bill.
– The Associated Press' Jay Root reports that Representatives inserted an amendment to the Texas Railroad Commission Sunset bill that would allow for more of the new Oil & Gas Commission's business to be conducted behind close doors.
– The Austin American-Statesman's Jason Embry wonders if conservative activists wouldn't have spent their time better attempting to remove the Senate's two-thirds' rule, instead of focusing on tossing House Speaker Joe Straus.
– Chronicle/Express-News reporter Peggy Fikac writes about Sen. Steve Ogden's latest push to break the budget impasse; this time, he's trying to sell more cuts. Also, be sure to check back later to read our 'Chopping Block' item today.
– The Texas Tribune's Matt Stiles has pulled together a really neat graphic that breaks down the proposed redistricting map for the Texas House.

While the general public is all too familiar with superheroes such as Superman, Spiderman, Batman and others, lesser known is how many women drew comics in the early 20th Century and drew them beautifully and often hilariously. Through photos, letters, original artwork, toys, comic books and other ephemera this exhibition discusses the first woman comic strip artist Rose O'Neill and her comic The Old Subscriber Calls, in Truth Magazine in 1896 and other women cartoonists from the late 19th century to now.Related program:

Ever think about the different paths you could have taken in life? The different choices you could have made that may have brought you to a different point than where you are today? Well, I'm a thinker. Sometimes crap just pops into my mind and I sit there for a few moments--or hours--in great ponderance (Yes, ponderance. I'm going to submit that word to Webster, so give it a minute to show up).
If I were to map my crossroads, it would look like a matrix, no doubt. By high school, I knew I loved writing and considered majoring in Journalism and Mass Communications in college. But as I started the process, I realized money would be a problem and I didn't know where to turn at the time. Confused and dazed about the lack of money, I didn't go to college right out of high school. So, I felt forced to choose another path. However, when I look back, I'm actually glad that I was forced to choose something different because I don't think I would have like that choice. I now think loving to write and Journalism are 2 different things. I dislike having to write for a living. I enjoying the creative process and writing what I want. I dislike being in the public eye. I'm naturally shy. And seeing the death of newspapers and the high competition of freelance writing today, I'm glad I chose a different path.
So instead, I worked at a mall pizza store and became Assistant Manager. Had I stayed on that path, maybe I could have made store Manager by now. But I chose a different path. Thank God!
I tried signing up for the Air Force. All was well until they measured me and said that I was an inch too short. Determined to go military, I turned to the Army who was more than happy to sign me up for Infantry. But on the day that I was to leave, they determined that I was a quarter of a pound overweight so I couldn't leave until I lost the quarter pound (which could have been not drinking water for a day). Just so happened that while waiting, the Air Force Recruiter called back and said "well, if the Army can take you, so can we." So he cooked up elaborate schemes for me to tell the Army to get me out so I could sign up for the Air Force, one being that I was pregnant. So I do this, lots of back and forth, interrogation before the Army board of higher ups (Colonel somebody or another) for threats, and they finally let me out. But by that time, I was so discouraged with military that I cut off the Air Force Recruiter. I kinda regret that one. I probably would have been in the Air Force today instead of, or before being, an engineer. But I chose a different path.
So, I finally decided to do whatever it took to go to school: Pell Grants, other grants, loans, and part-time work. But even in that, I changed my major 9 different times--Radiologist, Biologist, Biochemist, Chemistry...--before settling on Chemical Engineering by chance. My last Major was Biochemistry when another ChE student said, "Hey! Why are you doing that? You should look into Chemical Engineering. It's more money." And I said, "Yeah? Cool." And changed my major for the last time. Of course, half-way through the program, I figured out why they made more money as I was getting my ass kicked. Royally. But, I made it through, and here I am today.
One commonality is that I think all of these paths would have led to me writing. But I think that each path would have produced a different story. Whether I would have self-published, gotten an agent, then become traditionally published? A question I will never be able to answer as different circumstances led me to those things today. But one thing that I do believe is that there is opportunity at the end of whatever path we choose. I don't believe there's a right or wrong choice. Even when we've chosen a path that has led to negative experiences, if we turn it around, we now have a platform in which we can share our experiences with others to encourage them to choose a different path. In other words, the glass is always half full. And every cloud has a silver lining. Yeah, all of that.
Have you ever thought about the paths you could have taken and how different your life could have been today?

The Eagle Eye Zoanthus Colony Polyp sports layers of dynamic color to mesmerizing effect. The center coloration of dark blue is ringed with a contrasting orange that terminates to a layer of saturated mossy-green tentacles. The resulting effect is an impressive flush of color that is visually stimulating yet harmonious thanks to the repeating, colonial nature of the polyp corals. Overtime, an established colony of Eagle Eye Zoanthus Colony Polyp will create an impressive living carpet of color reminiscent of a field of underwater wildflowers.
The Zoanthus Colony Polyp Corals are also referred to as Sea Mats, or Button Polyps. Their most common color is green, but they are also found in other bright colors, such as orange. They are colonial animals with multiple individual polyps attached to a piece of live rock.
These polyps have the ability to sting other polyps or corals. While the sting is not strong, they are semi-aggressive and need to have space between their colony and any neighbors since they tend to crowd them out. Zoanthus Colony Polyp Corals are easy to maintain, making them a good choice for beginner reef aquarists. They require a high light level combined with medium water movement within the aquarium. For continued good health, they will also require the addition of iodine and other trace elements to the water.
The Eagle Eye Zoanthus Colony Polyp will reproduce easily in the reef aquarium by budding (splitting off a portion of their base or mouth) to increase the size of the colony. The Eagle Eye Zoanthus Colony Polyp contains the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae which satisfies almost all of their nutritional requirements. If the lighting is not optimal, the Eagle Eye Zoanthus Colony Polyp should be fed micro-plankton or baby brine shrimp.
It is common to receive a rock that is not completely covered in polyps. However, under the right conditions, they will quickly spread across this and surrounding rocks in the aquarium.

Soccer team gets 1-year ban for homophobic taunts
STOCKHOLM The management board of an amateur soccer club in Sweden has suspended its entire team for one year after players allegedly hurled homophobic remarks at opponents during a match last month.
Sorskogen team chairman Ketil Torp says the players denied making such remarks to the Stockholm Snipers, a team that prides itself for having members of different sexual orientations. He also says the match referee didn't hear the remarks.
Torp says the accusations were "so severe" that the seventh division players were ordered to face the club board immediately after the game. The players refused to do so and received a $758 fine from the local soccer association.
The players had previously been penalized for rude remarks and violence.

Gadgets Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
What to think about:
This is where the more cutting edge stuff is going on. This is new technology (well, a new application of a tried and true technology) so the choices are limited to two: Sirius and XM Radio.
At this point in the game, there are three major differences:
Programming - The best way to flesh this one out is to give a listen to both providers, looking at their program schedules side by side. Both services also allow you to listen live online. This is the only way to make the choice. If you are looking for specific programming, make sure you spend some time doing this.
Hardware - Both systems have all necessary hardware for home systems as well as car and dual purpose systems. Now that Sirius has released its boombox, both platforms seem to be equal.
I have heard that XMRadio has a better ground repeater network, but I have traveled all over the east coast with my Sirius receiver and have had no reception problems.
Price - XMRadio checks in at $9.95 a month to Sirius's $12.95. Since you are paying for content that you can otherwise get for free from the airwaves, I would urge you to refrain from considering a three-dollar difference when making your decision.
What I use:
I did some major homework. There's too much info to go into here, but if you would like to see my in-depth review, go here.
Sirius Satellite Radio
This is the one I ended up going with.
The more popular choice.
A great online source for satellite radio gear.
Best Buy
They carry both providers, and you can hear the gear live. This is where I bought mine.

SmartSound's Quicktracks technology is the driving force behind the MagicMusic feature inside CyberLink PowerDirector 4. This patented technology allows users to create soundtracks for their projects through SmartSound's "block" method. Users select a song from SmartSound's royalty-free music library and bring it into the timeline. The song is automatically rearranged into a complete soundtrack piece with a musical beginning and ending, that matches up with the on-screen visuals.
These songs can fit any length needed, from a few seconds to several minutes, according to SmartSound.

It's April 1, and the fools are certainly rushing in. Here's just a few of the hoaxes perpetrated on innocent readers:
• The National Republican Senatorial Committee produces a 2012 campaign ad supporting Barack Obama, which is really nice of the Republicans. It shows the president bringing people together, supporting Brazilian oil imports and riding a unicorn over a rainbow.
• Sir Richard Branson announces that Virgin has bought Pluto and will attempt to have it reinstated as a planet. The company is hoping to "bulk up" Pluto by leaching it on to asteroids in order to reach the required planetary mass.
• IKEA in Sydney unveils the HUNDSTOL, a high chair for dogs, for $59. The back of the chair has a tail hole.
• Qualcomm holds a press conference on viral Internet videos that surfaced this week appearing to show incidents of savage butterfly attacks in the United States. The company responds to reports that their own prototype of Mirasol display is responsible for triggering butterfly aggression.
• YouTube celebrates its 100th anniversary today by presenting the viral videos of 1911.
• The Huffington Post follows the New York Times' example and sets up a pay wall – but only for employees of the New York Times and people in Winnipeg, Canada. Arianna Huffington assures all other readers "full and free access to our news, information, opinion, and the rest of our rich offerings."
• Britain's Daily Mail, stalking the royals again, discovers princess-to-be Kate Middleton shopping for baby clothes, smoking cigarettes, and downing pints of lager and champagne.
• The UK Sun reports that iPads were given to five gorillas in its "Planet of the Apps" exclusive. "The super-smart gorillas quickly learned to turn the screens on and off and seem fascinated by the colours and pictures."
• Ryanair, which calls itself the world's favorite airlines, says it will introduce "child free" flights after a Europe-wide survey of 1,000 passengers showed that half would pay higher fares to avoid other people's children. "When it comes to children we all love our own but would clearly prefer to avoid other people's little monsters when traveling," said spokesman Stephen McNamara.
• A video released by Google purporting to seek applicants for "autocompleter" positions interviews autocompleter Michael Taylor :
"I started out originally as a spellchecker, so whenever you misspelled a word when using Google search, and it said, 'Did you mean,' and it gave you the spelling, that was me, typing it out," Taylor says."I'm a really good speller."

I am going to puke if I see or hear the word �sequestration� used as an excuse for every crappy thing that is going on in our country today.
To the editor:
I am going to puke if I see or hear the word �sequestration� used as an excuse for every crappy thing that is going on in our country today.
Just to mention a few: no White House tours for the public, no flyover at the West Point graduation, our veterans getting screwed over by the Department of Veterans Affairs; on the local level, no traditional Fourth of July fireworks aboard base and, adding insult to injury, dependents now being charged to use base pools.
Give me a break.
Terrorists are living the good life in Guantanamo, Cuba � a real country club environment compared to a prison � with no hard labor just air conditioning, an ethnic menu, medical and dental needs and a really nifty soccer field. Now I hear that terrorists are on a hunger strike and are being force-fed. I say stow it, let them starve themselves to death and send the grocery money we save to Camp Lejeune so dependents can see fireworks and swim without charge. After the terrorists starve to death, just toss their bodies into the convenient ocean � after all, there is a food chain and fish need to eat too.
On another note, I have a suggestion for Homeland Security in reference to preventing terrorists from blowing themselves and airplanes to bits. Since they have an aversion to pork, I�d have a pig sitting on every plane that flies our friendly skies.

6 Reasons Dolphin Should Be Your Default Browser
One of the most popular Android replacement browsers out there is Dolphin Browser which we've written about before but has come a long way since. There are several unmistakable reasons why Dolphin has become the default browser for so many Android users. Here are 6 of them in no particular order.
Replacement Browsers for Android Tablets
Your Android tablet comes pre-installed with a browser that, for most, is a clean and efficient way to access webpages. It certainly does the job well, but there are many instances when you might need something else, maybe more speed or options, so you'll be looking into alternatives. There's a variety of both first and third-party Android browser, including the well-received Chrome for Android.
30+ Beautiful Holo-Designed Android Apps
Holo first saw light in Android 3.0 for tablets and has since found popularity in Android 4.0 and above with Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean. No doubt the best looking aspect of stock apps, it was only a matter of time before the design principles started to make their way into third-party apps.
In this roundup, we're going to take a look at some of our favourite Holo apps that you can install to give your phone the design unity it deserves!
The Force is with Angry Birds Star Wars
Let me start by saying this: I am a huge Star Wars fan. I love the movies, I love the collectibles, I love the video games. So of course when Rovio announced they were making a Star Wars themed Angry Birds game, I was all over it. I kept looking at video clips and screenshots while patiently awaiting the release date. And then it came, and I quickly picked it up.

Hands on With the iPad mini
The iPad mini is an interesting concept. It's something that consumers everywhere have been talking about for a long time, but now that it's finally here, there's been a lot of talk from the tech media about how the product really doesn't measure up to expectations. How it's not good enough because it doesn't have a Retina display, or that it doesn't have enough RAM. Yes, a lot of the tech press says that the iPad mini is a disappointment all the way around, but there are still a lot of people who bought them this past weekend, including me.
The iPad mini has now been in my hands for the past few days. So what's the verdict? Is it worth it as a purchase or should the general public hold off? Is the tech press correct in their judgement? Let's get into it after the jump.
Path Finally Comes to the iPad, But is it Any Good?
The iPad currently has three major social networking apps available on it: Facebook, Twitter and Google+, the last of which is rarely used. Most people use Facebook so they use that app, but there are some who still enjoy Twitter's much declined (it now looks like a large version of the iPhone edition) official app. Then there are the rare few who prefer Google's solution to online social networking.
But one service has not been mentioned because it was originally exclusive to the iPhone. This micro social network, as some would call it, is Path. It's been around since March 2011 and, while it received a lot of praise at first, was recently criticized for an issue found in many iOS apps (accessing contacts without the user's approval). An independent developer released a Mac app named Journey that allowed users to browse their Path news feeds, but other than that, an iPad app has been needed for some time. It finally released on November 1, but can it match the greatness of the iPhone app?
Angry Birds Star Wars Brings a Galaxy Far Far Away to You
Let me start by saying this: I am a huge Star Wars fan. I love the movies, I love the collectibles, I love the video games. So of course when Rovio announced they were making a Star Wars themed Angry Birds game, I was all over it. I was looked at video clips and screens shots while patiently awaiting the release date. And then it came, and I quickly picked it up.
After having a little more than a weekend to play with it, I can say I am not disappointed. Let's check out Angry Birds Star Wars HD after the break.
Letterpress: Perfecting the Perfect Word Game
It's only been out since 24th October 2012, but Letterpress (the new iOS app from Loren Brichter of Tweetie fame) has taken iOS gaming by storm. The crashing of Game Centre — the weekend following the launch of Letterpress app — has been attributed to it's huge success. So what is the appeal of Letterpress, is it really the perfect word game? Following it's update to version 1.1, on 17th November, is there really any room for improvement?

The Ultimate Writers Toolbox
It's been a long time since writers were forced to become accustomed to the clickety-clack of a typewriter and now with writing on your PC becoming normal, more and more software is being released to make this task easier, more enjoyable and improve the overall quality of your writing.
If you're reading this you probably have an interest in writing, whether you already write or thinking of taking it up, writing is not only a fun and cheap hobby, it's also extremely productive and helps enhance skills necessary for everyday life. When I first started writing on my PC I used Microsoft Word to do this, but I quickly grew tired of how many features were in my face when all I really wanted to do was tap-out a short story.
Fast forward several months and it's been a long time since I've had to look at the often over-complicated Microsoft Word on a daily basis to type out an English essay. Instead I have found software suites that offer a perfect place to type out my thoughts. I've also come across software that helps me plan out my writing, get it done faster and manage the writing tasks at hand, so read on to find out how you too can get the ultimate software collection for writers on your PC.
Feeling More Comfortable in Windows 8's Desktop View
By the time you read this, Windows 8 will have been made available for your general consumption, and pleasure. But, as will be the case with most of us who have been wanting to upgrade, but are fearful of the new ModernUI, how much of a shock will it be to all you future users, when you find yourselves amidst the strange waters of the Modern UI?
Well, I've been a guinea-pig of sorts, subjecting myself to the the likes of Windows 8 as my primary operating system for quite a while now.
How to Get the Good Bits of Windows 8 on 7
Despite the arguably neutral reception that Windows 8 has received, it has several very useful and improved features over Windows 7 that thousands of people enjoy using. However, if you think that Windows 8 has a bad experience overall, you can use several apps and tweaks to get these features on your Windows 7 installation.
This post will outline some of these apps and show what you can accomplish. It will not go into depth for any of the apps listed here, but you can find out more about each one from its website.
Clover Adds Browser Style Tabs To Windows Explorer
Explorer may not be the most advanced file management tool that's available, but it does get the job done. If you've been a Windows user for any length of time, youíve probably grown used to hitting the Windows key and E to fire up Explorer.
This is the reason that it can be difficult to move to an Explorer replacement, your memory muscle will almost invariably default to using the known shortcut and you may well find that you end up defaulting back to Explorer. Clover is an Explorer add-on that enables you to stick with Windows' built in file browser while gaining some extra features.

Letterpress: A Game of Real Estate and Words
Developer Loren Brichter is perhaps best known for his work with Twitter. He's the man behind Tweetie, an app that was purchased by Twitter and eventually morphed into an official offering from the social network. Brichter left Twitter and, until recently, has been teasing a new app.
That new app is not a Twitter client. It's actually a game named Letterpress. A mixture of Scrabble, Boggle and real estate-style gameplay, Letterpress is an addictive, very competitive game. Let's take a look after the jump.
How Mobile Games Affect Our Attention Spans
Everyone typically becomes bored of something at one time or another. It's the inevitable loss of interest that causes people to give up that great hobby they've been doing for so long, or to stop eating oatmeal for breakfast every morning simply because it's become stale. Change is good, yes, but eventually the redundant pattern of quitting something and starting another task can start to show — very much so.
One of the most prominent topics of interest is mobile gaming. The industry has been around since the 1970s, but lately it's evolved to something beyond the classic Donkey Kong Country on a Game Boy and the first iteration of Tetris on a mobile phone. Tense games of Snake were classic back in the day when Nokia ruled the mobile phone market. Now, however, Apple and Google govern the domain. The App Store and Google Play Store have brought many fabulous first-person shooters, adventures of evil swine and vexed avian, and role-playing ventures like Bastion. With all this innovation, something was left behind — what was it?
Fieldrunners 2: Your New Favorite Pastime
I've always enjoyed a good match of strategy. Tower defense games are one of the best ways to devise those nefarious tactical plans on a mobile device. I remember the days when Java games dominated the mobile market, and even though the selection wasn't always great, the only way to get a game was to pay your wireless carrier up to $10 for it. You could then play it on your Motorola RAZR or other basic phone using the wondrous keypad to conquer the world. Those were the days.
Now we've become too developed for such devices and have moved on to Apple's sublime iPad. Tower defense made it to the tablet as well, in the forms of Plants vs. Zombies, Kingdom Rush and Fieldrunners. Now we have the sequel, Fieldrunners 2, and I've been playing it since launch day. Is it good? Let's find out.
Fantastical: Beautiful and Natural
I'm a calendar junkie. The way some people collect to-do apps, I tend to have lots of different calendars all over my iPhone, iPad and Mac, and very few stick. I'll use one for a month or two, then off to the next or back to an old favorite. I have lots of different options.
But one that has stuck on my Mac is Fantastical. Not only is it quick and easy to use, but it's just so natural. When I was contacted by the developers and given a sneak peek at the app, well I just had to jump on it. Will the magic transfer to my iPhone or is Fantastical a Mac-only purchase? Let's find out after the jump.

Sunrise.im: Wake Up To Your Day's Events
With my current job position, I have a lot of moving parts in my schedule and am constantly scheduling a lot of meetings throughout each week. Inevitably, they get cancelled or postponed to a later date, and there are times when I can't keep up with who I am meeting and when. Anyone else have this problem?
With the technology and smartphones that we have, I know it is a lot easier to take control of your calendar and see when things are happening. Sometimes I just want to know what is coming up for the current day. That is where Sunrise.im comes into play. It is a simple way to take a look at your daily schedule without all of the clutter and it is so easy to use. Let's take a look.
Mail Pilot: an Innovative, To-do Style Approach to Your Emails
For the last fifteen years that we've been using email clients — webmail or desktop — the basic concepts and features remained the same. Anyone may have its own workflow to deal with emails and get things done, but almost everyone has to struggle with the same old, rigid logic provided by almost all clients on the market. However, we're doing more and more with email these days than we did in the nineties. Something, it seems, needs to change.
The Kickstarter-funded Mail Pilot web app, still in beta, aims at redefining the way of dealing with emails. Let's see how it might help you actually get things done.
Pixlr vs PhotoRaster: Finding the Best Online Photo Editor
Over the past few weeks on Web.Appstorm, I've covered two web apps which have really impressed me: Pixlr and PhotoRaster. Both of these are photo editing web apps that are powerful and easy to use. After raving about these apps in separate reviews, I decided it was time for a comparison so we can find which is the best online photo editor.
If you've read my review of Pixlr, you'll know that it is split into three different apps. Thus, we will be looking at Pixlr Advanced, the editor which is most similar to that of PhotoRaster's. Read on to find out which app we like the best!
Alto: AOL's Newest Email Client
When I think of AOL, I cannot help but also think about the "You've Got Mail" tone that they made famous. As you take a look back on email, AOL was a pioneer in the field as they were one of the first companies to offer it to the masses, way back in the late 90′s. But outside of that and Instant Messenger, they have been very quiet now for quite some time.
Well, that all has changed recently, with their newly, upgraded email client called Alto. Yes, email has come a long way since AOL last came out with a client, and some would even say it is an already crowded space. When I got into the beta for this, the main thing that I wanted to see was whether or not this could replace the apps I currently use for email. I tried to use it by itself for the last couple of weeks and I came away with some interesting thoughts about it.

Prizmo 2: OCR Done With Style.
With the advent of the shift to a Paperless world, OCR has gained even greater importance. It's the often overlooked detail that you may take for granted. That is of course until you try and search a PDF you scanned and realize it's just an embedded image. Chances are that you may already have a good document scanner that does OCR. If, however, you don't, then Prizmo 2 may just be what the doctor ordered.
Now I could just say that Prizmo does OCR with style, but the truth is that it does so much more. Read on after the break to find out what I mean.
iTunes 11 Arrives in Assorted Flavours
Jelly Belly rang this morning, saying they wanted their selling point back. While I do enjoy their delicious sour variants and assorted flavours always have been quite delicious, iTunes 11 also matches this little catchphrase. Take its new icon, which is conveniently sitting just above this paragraph. It appears to be bubble-like, does it not? In fact, it looks like the designer took the iTunes 10 icon and added a few layers to it in Photoshop to give it a more 3D look.
That's not why we're here though. iTunes 11 is a big release and it shouldn't be reduced to the size, or design, of its icon. All proportions aside then, I'd like to take you on a ride into a different kind of Apple. Whether this is just something the company will be doing with iTunes or we may be seeing it in other OS X apps, the 11th edition of a Mac music player is a big deal. Let's see what the company decided to change.
The AppStorm Outlining Apps Showdown
Outliners are handy for a lot of different things: task lists, outlining longer manuscripts, or note taking to name a few. For some users, bullet list functions available in your standard work processor or note taking app are all you need, while other users prefer the functions provided by dedicated outlining apps.
If you are—or think you might be—in the latter category, read on to for a review of three of the top outlining apps. We've taken Scribe, Tree, and OmniOutliner Standard for a run and compared their features in-depth, so you can find the best Mac outlining app for your needs.
The Best App for the Job
When you bought your Mac, or perhaps another smart device, chances are you didn't plan on just using the bundles apps that were already installed on it. There's dozens of apps we all use every day that make our machines vastly more useful than they'd be on their own. When we don't know what to use for a job, a quick visit to the App Store is usually all that's required to find an app that'll fit the bill.
Problem is, there's too many apps for any of us to ever use, much less master. And there's always that nagging suspicion that there's a better app that could let you do what you're doing faster.
If only you had the best app.

Canadian helicopter operator Discovery Air is moving to the Northwest Territories, under the terms of a C$34-million ($28-million) loan meant to cover C$33 million of company debt. Northwest Territories Opportunities Fund is providing the C$34 million. The territorial government is using the fund to attract industry and jobs to the area. In northern Canada, Discovery Air operates Great Slave Helicopters (charter services), Air Tindi (charter and scheduled passenger service using fixed-wing aircraft) and Discovery Mining Services (camp rentals and expediting services for the mining and resource sectors).
"The $34 million allows us to repay some debt that came due on February 1, 2009," said Discovery Air interim president and CEO Dave Jennings. Discovery Air relates the debt to past acquisitions. As a condition of the loan, Discovery Air is moving its corporate headquarters to Yellowknife, NWT from its current home in London, Ontario. Jennings expects 10-15 employees to make the move up north. They should feel right at home; Great Slave Helicopters, Air Tindi and Discovery Mining Services are based in Yellowknife.
Discovery air's new loan runs for two years at 10 percent interest annually, with payment due in full at term's end.
