Thank you for posting those! I leave for Disney in a couple days and Im really looking forward to checking out the AIE. It looks like so much fun!
Hi Everyone,
I had a chance to attend The American Idol Experience at the Disney Hollywood Studios on Saturday, February 7, 2009. Overall it was fun - although not, in my opinion, an 'super' attraction. I do recommend that you check it out.
Here are some pictures from the show:

You know I really don't like or watch the TV show, but I know my wife and daughter do. My 8 year old DS is also not a fan of the show. Looks like a godd opportunity to drop off DW and 2 DDs while the man-cub and I look for more manly things like an ice cream and Star Tours.
The judges at this final were a bit less "Hollywood" looking than the judges that were there on the 5th. I will have to make time to attend a final just to see what that is like. I hear a contestant sang Bohemian Rhapsody which left the audience doubting that he could pull it off. When he nailed it, he ended up winning.
mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.
On that particular day - February 7 - a gentleman did sign Bohemian Rhapsody. The crowd actually let out an audible gasp when the host announced that he was going to sing that particular song . It's a difficult song. He did a good job, but he did not win.
A red-haired lady won after singing Independence Day. You can see her in the final picture above enjoying the confetti and celebrating her win.

What are some songs or movies that express the ideas of Transcendentalism?
Topic: Arts
What are some songs or movies that express the ideas of Transcendentalism?
10 Answers | add yours
This is a very interesting question. Before I get into my response, please note that an "N" is missing in "Transcendentalism" above.
This is my first answer on this site (though I have given a similar assignment myself), I will do my best to keep this as short as possible - volumes could easily be written on this.
I will take as a given that you are familiar with Transcendentalism, but here is a brutally concise statement - a literary and philosophical American 19th century movement. Promoted by authors such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller.
As for the music one could say that Frank Zappa's entire career, and the latter music of the Beattles (and some of Lennon's solo work) fullfilled the Transcendentalist idea of finding one's own, unique relationship to the universe and the divine. Some specific titles - Zappa's Absolutely Free (The first word in this song is discorporate. It means to leave your body, and is not referring to corporations), and the Beattles' Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
As for movies an excellent recent choice would be "Into the Wild", based on the book (and a true story) by the same name. This movie could be considered a definition of Transcendentalism.
Hope this helps,
Professor Dean

I think you can take a modern approach to Transcendentalist thought. Some of the themes to the movement have provided fodder for some great films. For example, "Pleasantville" can be seen as transcendentalist. Pulling from the Thoreauian idea of civil disobedience, watch the mural scene when they paint the mural near the end of the film. A song filled with Transcendentalist thought would be "Across the Universe." Ironically, there is a Fiona Apple version of the song to close out the "Pleasantville" film. The song stresses how truth and understanding requires a mindset that is "other worldly." I think one of the best examples of the movement's desire to stress individualism can be seen in "The Truman Show", where Truman breaks out of a conformed world through listening to his inner voice.

I would have to say the movie "ZARDOZ" would be a great representation of transcendentalism. It is intellectualism to the nth power, isolated and unbound. So much so that they seek and create a hybred to end their pergatory of unimportant intelegence.
Also I like Sean Connery, but I do recommend that it is for aduilt only as there are nudity and sexual demonstration that may not be appropriate for a younger audiance.

Transcendental Blues by Steve Earle.
But what you need to look for are songs that express individuality, beauty of nature and it's preservation, Self-reliance (like Emerson put it) and stuff against the government or society because those two things confine, rule, and limit the individual and makes us all copies. (transcendental thinking) Rage Against the Machine is good for going against the government. Grateful Dead 'Box of Rain' is a good song and it's him saying how he can't help the guy throughout his whole life, that he needs to feel things for himself. The Killers have really mindy, thinking songs.

Transcendentalism is an ideological force which has shaped America. It continues to penetrate the American psyche up until today, as the films and songs evaluated here demonstrate. I would like to add another example: Dead Poets Society (Peter Weir, 1989). This is a film which brings to life many of the principles of transcendentalism in a modern setting. The principles which are echoed are, among others, free-thinking, self-reliance, civil disobedience, revolt against tradition and established institutions, brotherhood of man and nature, and educational reform. Moreover, the movie is sparkled with significant quotations from many poets, including Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), an author who is part of the core of transcendentalism, active around Concord, Massachusetts where the movement thrived in the 1840's.

Bjork has a song called "Oceania" which is about the relationship of the "mother ocean" to humans and creatures of the earth. It's transcendentalist in the sense that it emphasizes an underlying and profound connection between people and something larger and spiritual.

Posted by loraaa on March 26, 2012 at 4:53 AM (Answer #10)
The first movie that came to mind, is Dead Poets Society. Robin Williams plays a teacher in the movie who expresses his love of learning and literature in ways with his students that are not deemed as appropriate by the institution. He charges his students to articulate themselves in ways they never have, such as ripping pages out of books. Although he gets fired in the movie for his teaching style, his student's lives were changed forever through the love and courage Robin William's character had for them.

Authorities are investigating after a Walterboro gas station was held up by a man armed with a stun gun.
According to a Walterboro Public Safety incident report, officers responded to the Shell station at 201 South Jeffires Boulevard a little after 9:30 p.m. on Monday night after receiving reports of an armed robbery.
When they got there, a clerk told officers a man wearing all black with his face covered came into the store "armed with a taser gun" and demanded money.
The clerk said she did not answer the robber, so he walked behind the counter, pulled the cash drawer out of the register, and ran off.
Officers said an unknown amount of money was stolen. No one was injured.
If you have any information regarding the crime, call Walterboro Public Safety at (843) 549-1811.

Book Description:In a spellbinding blend of history, myth, and science, bestselling novelist Manda Scott unleashes a thriller that sweeps from the secrets of the Mayans to the court of a sixteenth-century queen to a shattering end-times prophecy. "It's a lump of rock, Stella; nothing more. No stone is worth dying for." Except it's not just a lump of rock. It's a blue crystal skull made by the Maya to save the world from ruin; a sapphire so perfect, so powerful that for centuries men have killed to own or destroy it.Ancient prophecies say that if the thirteen skulls already in existence are not reunited, the world will end on December 21, 2012. Cedric Owen, the skull's last Keeper, died so that it might keep its secret for the next four centuries. Now Stella Cody has found it, and someone has already tried to kill her. Like Owen, she's being hunted—but by whom?Desperate to unravel the mystery of the crystal skull, Stella must decode Cedric Owen's coded writings, sketches and ciphers no scholar has been able to unravel. What she discovers is astounding: a shocking secret prophecy…and the staggering puzzle of four terrifying creatures, thirteen precious stones, and what will happen if Cedric Owen's crystal skull falls into the wrong hands. But time is against Stella. She has only days—hours—left to uncover the only secret that may yet save the world.12.21.12The date is set. Time is running out.The end of the world starts now.From the Hardcover edition.

Just wanted to let everybody know that I just made a new release of the library here. This release includes tons of bug fixes as well as some breaking changes which shouldn't be a problem if you have been running off the trunk.
Also, by popular demand, I added a .Net 3.5 version of the library to this release. The hope here is to eventually have a mono ...
This is a take on a class that has been floating around for a while. I first saw it in kevin's first api.
You can use this on all values that are declared as 'unix timestamp', both request and response
public static class UnixDateTimeHelper
private const string InvalidUnixEpochErrorMessage = ...
You are getting the GZipped stream of the response content. Use DownloadData instead of DownloadString and uncompress the stream before passing it to the JSON deserializer (or whatever you plan to use).
Alternatively, you can use the StackOverflow.Net library.
All responses from the API are compressed. You can specify the compression scheme (gzip or deflate) in the Accept-Encoding header. If you don't specify, one will be chosen for you.
We used to throw up an error when a non-compressed request was received, but a frustrating number of proxies don't pass Accept-Encoding through properly; so instead we silently ...
As I learned from George Edison in his comment, the server handles time in UTC format. Just replace your calls to DateTime.Now with DateTime.UtcNow or you can convert any DateTime to UTC format with the ToUniversalTime method. Just make sure not to call ToUniversalTime on the server's time, or it'll get messed up.
Are you by any chance using POST?
For 1.0 this works. But not for 1.1 (though GET works fine for both 1.0 and 1.1).
(I have no idea if it should work though.)
With the way the API is currently set up (lots of caching the info page says) is it possible to update the information on a question you've already looked at? I have a list of questions but, as time goes on, the information changes (# of answers, votes, etc) and I would like to be able to update the questions with the new info.
The following is simply my opinion so take it for what is is worth:
Whenever I see a LINQ provider built on top of a service, I become very interested to know how and when it is actually executing queries and if the abstraction is really saving me anything.
For example the statment:
var users = ctx.Sites("api.stackoverflow.com")
Event Logging, Caching and Throttling

Event Logging is a new feature that allows us to debug different methods on the bridge by hooking the events at client.EventLog, and examining the messages logged there.
Caching was already present on the previous version of the bridge, but it now supports ...
You're treating the response as a UTF-8 encoded string. That's bound to fail with binary data like GZip. A quick fix is to use Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1") instead of UTF8 in StringToByteArray, and also pass this encoding to the StreamReader constructor in FetchURL.
That encoding maps bytes to codepoints one-to-one; see this answer on Stack Overflow.
string post_data = "client_id={0}&client_secret={1}&code={2}&redirect_uri={3}";

Reddit just dropped the banhammer.
As of Wednesday, more than a half-dozen prominent websites have been banned from the massively popular link-sharing site, including digital publishing heavyweights The Atlantic and PhysOrg.
The list so far includes at least five: BusinessWeek.com, Phys.org, ScienceDaily.com, TheAtlantic.com, and GlobalPost.
Redditors are prevented from submitting links to any of the above sites. Instead, they're greeted with the following message: "this domain has been banned for spamming and/or cheating."
The move comes exactly one week after the site announced a new site-wide ban feature intended to cut back on spam. However, the official announcement noted that only URL shorteners, commonly used by spammers to mask destination links, would suffer initially. The announcement read:
"Some domains are not allowed on any part of reddit because they are spammy, malicious, or involved in cheating shenanigans. Attempting to submit a link to one of these domains will now fail with an informative error message."
In April, the Daily Dot exposed The Atlantic's wide-spread Reddit spamming operation. Jared Keller, the site's social media editor, was kicked off Reddit for his role in the affair, though stories from The Atlantic have remained hugely popular on the social news site.
Update: Erik Martin, Reddit's general manager, has confirmed the bans are temporary.

No matches found.Bentley on track to be unseated from HUSD board
Rogers, Gregg take early leads
HESPERIA • A former teacher and a student took early leads in the race for the Hesperia Unified School District board, as incumbent board president Christopher Bentley lagged among four candidates, according to preliminary results late Tuesday night.
Ella M. "Lee" Rogers and Cody Gregg, 21, were on pace to be at the helm of the school district after the two took over a combined 60 percent of the vote.
"I'm glad the voters looked beyond my youth," Gregg said.
Rogers, a retired teacher in the Victor Valley Union High School District, received 3,714 votes, with Gregg, a former member of the California National Guard, coming in second with 2,870 votes.
"I believe our board will now be able to bring civility back to the school district," Gregg said. "Bringing in transparency across the board, focusing on campus safety and involving parents is going to be a big part of our future."
Here's how all of the candidates stacked up:
• Bentley, incumbent — 18.81 percent
• Gregg, business owner — 26.11 percent
• Marcy Kittinger, former retail director — 20.75 percent
• Rogers, retired educator — 34.33 percent

Actress Rue McClanahan got her start in small stage productions including Inherit the Wind at Pennsylvania's Erie Playhouse, soon making her Broadway debut alongside Dustin Hoffman in the 1969 musical Jimmy Shine. After making a transition to television in the 1970's she caught the attention of producer Norman Lear,
and was cast as a guest post on the popular sitcom All in the Family. Impressed with her performance, she was taken on as lead role Vivian on the show's spin-off Maude. In 1985 she landed her most famous role as the self-absorbed bombshell Blanche Devereaux on Golden Girls. The part got her three Golden Globe nominations, three Emmy nominations, and an Emmy win in 1987.
Actress. Born February 21, 1934, in Healdton, Oklahoma, to parents William Edwin and Dreda Rheua-Nell McClanahan.
After graduating from the University of Tulsa in 1956, McClanahan started work as a professional actress, getting her start in small stage productions. She made her stage debut in a 1957 production of Inherit the Wind, at Pennsylvania's Erie Playhouse. She would move gradually closer and closer to Broadway, and in 1969, she made her Broadway debut across from Dustin Hoffman in the musical, Jimmy Shine.
Rue made the transition to television in the 1970s. Catching the attention of producer Norman Lear, McClanahan was chosen for a guest spot on the popular sitcom, All in the Family. Impressed by her performance, McClanahan was then cast as the comic foil to actress Bea Arthur in the All in the Family spin-off, Maude.
But McClanahan would become best-known for her work on the 1985 hit sitcom The Golden Girls, in which she played the aging, self-absorbed bombshell Blanche Devereaux. Her performance snagged her three Golden Globe nominations, three Emmy nominations, and an Emmy win in 1987.
After The Golden Girls ended in 1992, McClanahan starred briefly in a spin-off of the show, called Golden Palace. The show only lasted one season before its cancelation in 1993. Over then next decade, McClanahan then made a series of special appearances on TV sitcoms and dramas, including Boy Meets World and Law & Order.
In 1997, McClanahan began battling health problems and was diagnosed with breast cancer. She fought the disease for several years before entering full remission. In 2009, however, she suffered complications from a heart problem and underwent a triple bypass. Shortly after the surgery, in January 2010, McClanahan suffered a stroke. She recovered briefly before experiencing a fatal stroke on June 3, 2010. At the time of her death, she was 76.
McClanahan was married six times over the course of her life, and her romances were recounted in great detail in her 2007 autobiography My First Five Husbands... And the Ones Who Got Away. She is survived by her sixth husband, Morrow Wilson, and by son Mark Bish, her child from her first marriage to Tom Lloyd Bish.

Is this still a known issue?
The workaround resolves this but is it being addressed?
After completing a Virtual Agent (VMware AVVI) backup of a virtual machine (VM), with File System Granular Recovery (GRT) enabled, using Backup Exec 2012, the VM should be listed in the Backup and Restore section of the Administration Console. Selecting this entry should result in the restore option being available allowing you to perform GRT restores of individual files within the VM. Symantec have received reports that some customers find that the restore option remains unselectable (greyed out)
I have experienced this as well. My VM Backups with GRT completed with no errors but was unable to restore any GRT data.
My workaround to this defect was to create a very small selection and run a backup using the Remote Agent. Once completed, all previous VM backups with GRT became available. The restore button is now available and restores work fine.

Way before she ever met Jake Pavelka ... "Bachelor" winner Vienna Girardi got down and dirty in a spring break dance contest -- and by the looks of it, she really got the shaft.
It all went down in The Bahamas in March 2009 -- mere months before Vienna met Jake -- and according to sources, the guy who delivered the package was a total stranger.
Besides the genital face-plant -- Girardi also struck a pose in which she stared down the barrel of a big, brown loaf launcher ... with the same guy.
Based on the photos, Vienna has plenty of experience with painful splits.
Poor Vienna... all those tears because Jake wasn't paying attention to her. She may be calling him a fame whore, but he's too nice to just call her a whore.
Nevermind that she was effing making out with a guy two days BEFORE they broke up... and before the trailer trash SOLD HER STORY to trash mag Star. I'm convinced she sold the story and decided to sell out Jake to cover for her "indiscretions."
I also think that as the Bachelor began, and stories like this began to come out about Vienna... that Jake didn't want to touch that sh*t anymore... that's why there was no "intimacy"... he finally saw her skanky side.
This picture says it all... "will suck for attention."
She is totally disgusting and I BET Jake wishes he'd listened to all the other women in the house now.
Obviously this guy is straight and not afraid of intimacy! Wait till this same pic shows up with Jake's face planted in some guys crotch!
How classy - low class that is. Didn't all the girls dislike her on the Bachelor? Freedom of speech - she can call him all the names she wants. He's a gentleman who won't stoop down to her level. But this picture speaks volumes about her.
The fact TMZ opted to showcase this as a story, using the title it did, is what is truly depraved here. What a sad state of affairs our country is in.

Kellogg plays up promotion to pull out of a sales crunch. Can the Grinch and Pokemon bring snap, crackle, and pop back to the cereal aisle?
It was the Frog Men that first won over Kevin Smith.
The red, green, and yellow U.S. Navy Frog Men that Kellogg Co. put in cereal boxes in 1954 captivated Smith as a kid. Drop a pinch of baking soda into the plastic figures' secret compartments and they'd sink, then resurface and swim. They cost 25 cents each, and they had cool jobs: Torch Man, Demolitions Expert, Obstacle Scout.
"It's magic to stick your hand in the bottom of a box and pull something out. That's the kind of experience I want to give kids today," says Smith, who grew up to become vp-consumer promotions at Kellogg Co.
Like the Frog Men who could dive and rise, Kellogg has been up and down, but is kicking back to the surface again. The Battle Creek, MI-based company is nearly halfway into a massive marketing push that ceo Carlos Gutierrez pledged late last year to roust the company from a two-and-a-half-year sales slump (January promo).
Kellogg has already made some gains in convenience foods, which will continue to drive the company's profitability this year. But the breakfast giant has to right its flagship cereal business to make any potential success story complete. That's where promotions will help most.
"You've just seen the beginning," says Smith, referring to a summer Pokemon blitz and late 2000 tie-ins with Walt Disney Co. and Universal Pictures' theatrical release of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Those follow a first-quarter Cindy Crawford sweepstakes, Sesame Street collectible-fest, and an innovative tie-in with American Airlines on Kellogg's ambitious promotion calendar, estimated at $150 million to $200 million. With 1999 ad spending flat at $176 million, it appears that Kellogg has plowed most of its 2000 budget increase into consumer promotions.
Smith won't disclose his budget, saying only, "It's gone up, but not at the expense of advertising. We've been selective, more efficient in our spending, to make it white-hot when we're there."
Sales results should kick in this quarter, says William Leach, an analyst with Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette in New York City. "Promotion may give them a newness they can't get with products."
"Our overall strategy is about experience, to reconnect with consumers in a way we haven't done in the last couple of years," says Marta Cyhan, senior manager-promotions.
Two elements influence Kellogg's plan: chief executive Gutierrez and president John Cook. "First there's old school – that's Carlos [Gutierrez]. He's an old cereal person. He's been around the company," Smith says. "He understands the power of the cereal package: It sits on the table and people read it. There's great power there for promotions. We have a rich heritage in doing those kinds of promotions, and he wanted to get back to that.
"Second is John Cook, a new hire. He wanted us to look at consumers rather than product," Smith explains. "We realized the targets we need to concentrate on are kids and, among adults, empty nesters."
With that double focus, the big-picture plan calls for busy boxes with high-value premiums and mail-in offers; aggressive portfolio campaigns that link eight to 12 brands; account-specific marketing, a new tack for Kellogg; special packaging such as milk carton-style boxes for Special K Plus with calcium; and entertainment tie-ins.
One common thread is borrowed interest, a quick way to signal the added value that could prove crucial to rebuilding brand equity.
"They rely heavily on commodity products, and haven't differentiated themselves as well as General Mills, which has more proprietary business and spends more on ads," says analyst Leach.
Kellogg is playing catch-up after losing the top spot in the $7.7 billion cereal business to General Mills in late 1999. Kellogg keeps wrestling with General Mills for dominance as overall category sales remain soft, having slipped each year from 1995 through 1998. The cereal business is suffering from a prolonged drought of new products and the aftermath of price wars initiated by No. 3 manufacturer Post, which cut prices across the board by 20 percent in 1996; Kellogg and General Mills followed suit, thereby gutting their own margins – and marketing budgets.
Rising ingredient and labor costs strapped cereal makers even further, and hit Kellogg harder than its competitors. Kellogg didn't have a safety net like Post, a division of Kraft Foods, or General Mills, whose portfolio runs from yogurt to Hamburger Helper.
Forced to cut advertising and consumer promotions, Kellogg relied heavily on trade promotion to carry its brands. It didn't.
The turmoil kept the doors to Kellogg's marketing department revolving. The company went through seven consumer promotions vps in nine years before Smith took over in April 1999.
Smith worked at Kellogg from 1983 to 1990, then left to form his own promotion agency, Densham & Smith Marketing Services, with Kellogg as a client. But Gutierrez courted him back. "I got to the point where I needed to do something different, and Carlos and John were looking for promotional expertise," Smith says. "I was looking for a challenge."
He has taken the challenge head-on. Special K was first out of the promo gate this year with a Makeover with Cindy sweepstakes that ran January through March. Five grand-prize winners got a trip to New York City for breakfast with Cindy Crawford and a full makeover by the supermodel's personal trainer and stylists. Brigandi & Associates, Chicago, handled the promo; Leo Burnett USA, Chicago, provided ad support.
The sweeps had consumers "noticing the brand in a way they hadn't before," Cyhan says. "Some brands have lost touch with some of our consumers. This was one opportunity to connect with them and be noticed."
Crawford topped Kellogg's list of candidates who fit the Special K image. Kellogg happened to call shortly after Crawford gave birth, when she was working to get back into shape and eating the brand daily. "She said it was a real vote of confidence from Special K," Cyhan explains. "She said, `I've been on the cover of every magazine out there, but I've never been on a cereal box.'"
Kellogg also ran two portfolio promos in the first quarter: A series of 24 Sesame Street mini-beans carried in 25 million boxes of eight kids' cereals (Apple Jacks and Corn Flakes among them), and American Airlines frequent-flier miles on 10 adult brands (including Corn Flakes, All Bran, and Product 19). The American Dream mail-in offer runs through December, giving 100 miles per box. It's the first-ever frequent flier deal for cereal. Gemcon Group, Chicago, handles.
Smith's goal with portfolio campaigns is "to break through clutter, to create an event [across several brands] rather than a single brand, which rarely has the ability" to break through alone. Consumers have their own set of acceptable cereals, so portfolio events can hit a wider segment of consumers. "If we're after kids and add all kid brands in, we're certain to hit a wider percentage. The math is easy," he says.
The trouble is, multi-brand campaigns can further blur the distinctions between brands, making them more of a commodity and easier to knock off. K-sentials, an umbrella ad campaign touting fortified cereal for kids, was canned in November after eight months because it didn't catch on with consumers. (Boxes still carry the moniker.)
Still, it takes a brand of considerable size to warrant its own campaign. At Kellogg, that would be only a few cereals, such as Frosted Flakes and Special K, and convenience foods like Pop Tarts, Nutrigrain, and Eggo.
Kellogg reviewed 150 premium agencies last year and chose a roster of preferred suppliers. That has helped the company significantly upgrade its offerings – beginning with the Sesame Street mini-beans, which were the most expensive in-pack premiums in the company's history.
Kellogg also reviewed 100 promotion agencies last year and in August settled on six: DraftWorldwide, Chicago, was named its full-service consumer promotion agency, with Atlanta-based Garner & Nevins tapped to handle field execution; Brigandi, Clarion Marketing of Greenwich, CT, Noble & Associates of Springfield, MO, and The Marketing Department of Westport, CT, were named for concept development. (Davidson Marketing resigned the Kellogg business in 1998 over "philosophical differences.")
"We have to look beyond just other cereal brands," Smith says. "We're competing every day with things like fast food, which has upscaled its premiums over the years. We're competing against a different bar."
Looking at QSR premiums made Kellogg realize that "kids have low expectations of cereal promotions, but significant expectations of what they like in premiums because of what they find at McDonald's and Burger King," Cyhan says. "We hadn't been doing that caliber of premiums until this year."
An upcoming premium effort leverages Kellogg's eight-year-old NASCAR sponsorship. Eleven cereals will carry a mail-in offer for a die-cast replica of driver Terry Labonte's car and a character car that corresponds to each cereal – Tony the Tiger for Frosted Flakes, Toucan Sam for Froot Loops. The cars are free via mail. "They're actually free for a change," Smith notes. "Over the years, `free' has come to mean `with postage and handling.' Kids have learned over time that `free' doesn't necessarily mean free. Well, it does now."
Kellogg is also ramping up its account-specific work to garner retailer support. An overlay to the Sesame Street campaign complemented Kmart's own Sesame Street line: A pocketed hanger to hold the Kellogg's toys was sold exclusively through Kmart. Kellogg fulfilled the mail-in offer directly.
Account-specific "is one of Kevin's mantras," Cyhan says. "We're trying to create better programs so they're executed more effectively." Tailored campaigns "tend to get us support, so it's easier for brokers to work displays and in-store support," Smith explains.
The proof may come with a Pokemon blitz starting next month. The campaign gives away high-value premiums through 15 brands, including non-cereal items. The effort centers on a new Pokemon cereal, a limited-time product that hits stores this month. DraftWorldwide handles, with Burnett on ad support.
Kellogg hired Dallas-based Marketing Specialists Corp. as its new brokerage in March to handle cereal, convenience foods, wholesome snacks, and frozen-food brands Eggo and Morningstar Farms (but not single-serve, grocery checkout, or c-store work). The shift signals a more aggressive pitch to grocers: Kellogg has worked with Marketing Specialists for 24 years, but consolidating now at the second-largest brokerage marshals all of its clout under one roof.
Future plans call for more promotional packaging like the milk carton-style boxes for Special K Plus with calcium. "That was a breakthrough for us," Cyhan says. "Packaging is low-hanging fruit, one way we can connect with consumers. The first thing they see in the aisle is how we represent ourselves on our packages."
Limited-time products will play an increasingly important role for Kellogg, after slack years with no new-product hits. With Pokemon, "the cereal rounds out the entire event," extending consumer interest beyond premium offers, Smith says. Pokemon cereal is oat rings with four kinds of marshmallows shaped like characters. Bright blue, thirteen-ounce boxes will sell for $2.49.
A spring experiment labeled 3 Point Pops played to NCAA fever for six weeks with orange, basketball-shaped cereal in boxes featuring embossed basketballs on the front and a hoops game on the back (but no promo overlays behind it).
"It seems to be a winning strategy," Smith says. "We'll experiment, and learn over time where we need to be."
As any good Obstacle Scout knows, it takes some navigating to regain your bearings. Kellogg may find its own in a familiar place: the bottom of the box.

National Survey of Teacher Perspectives on the Common Core
Based on the results of an online survey, this report from the EPE Research Center provides an analysis of teachers' views on the Common Core State Standards. The National Survey of Teacher Perspectives on the Common Core report offers important insights into survey respondents' views regarding their awareness of the standards, the training they have received to implement them in the classroom, and a range of other related topics. Readiness to put the CCSS into practice has emerged as a critical challenge not only for individual teachers, but also for their schools, districts, and states. The report provides new information about how prepared teachers feel to teach the standards to their students and how prepared they believe their students are to master them. It also presents data on teachers' perspectives with respect to the preparedness of the larger institutions and systems in which they work.
This new report, produced by the EPE Research Center in partnership with Education First, a national education policy and strategic consulting firm, provides an update on states' progress toward creating plans for implementing the Common Core State Standards. Moving Forward: A National Perspective on States' Progress in Common Core State Standards Implementation Planning serves as a follow-up to our January 2012 Preparing for Change report, which detailed the steps states are taking to implement common standards. Our new study analyzes results from a summer 2012 50-state survey in which states reported on the status of their planning activities in the areas of teacher professional development, curriculum and instructional materials, and teacher-evaluation systems. The results indicate that most states are further along in their planning than they were one year ago in key areas widely considered to be necessary for successful implementation of the new standards.
Preparing for Change: A National Perspective on Common Core State Standards Implementation Planning
This new report, produced by the EPE Research Center in partnership with Education First, a national education policy and strategic consulting firm, describes states' progress toward creating plans for implementing the Common Core State Standards. Preparing for Change: A National Perspective on Common Core State Standards Implementation Planning provides insight into the steps states are taking to implement common standards and reports results from a 50-state survey examining transition planning. The survey results offer specific details on the status of state plans for changes in teacher professional development, curriculum and instructional materials, and teacher-evaluation systems. The results find that a handful of states are particularly far along in their plans to implement the CCSS, but that most states still have a long way to go in their planning efforts.
Improving Student Learning By Supporting Quality Teaching: Key Issues, Effective Strategies
This special report from the EPE Research Center examines teaching quality and student learning. It summarizes the state of research on teaching quality, the links to student learning, and the contextual factors that play an intermediating role in teaching and learning. It focuses on literature from both the K-12 system and the early-childhood arena that discusses teacher professional qualifications, models to improve and gauge quality instruction, and examples from the field. These findings are complemented by an overview of promising strategies for improving teaching quality and an original environmental scan of the investments made by major foundations in the area of teaching quality, including a list of the most influential actors in this area.
Cities in Crisis 2009: Closing the Graduation Gap
This new report from the EPE Research Center finds that barely one-half of students in the nation's 50 largest cities complete high school with a diploma. But the study, a successor to 2008's Cities in Crisis, also discovers signs of improvement, with rising graduation rates and narrowing urban-suburban gaps in recent years.
Perspectives on a Population: English Language Learners in American Schools
January 2009
Perspectives on a Population: English-Language Learners in American Schools offers the most comprehensive, data-driven examination to date of ELL students and youths in the United States.
This EPE Research Center report examines a number of key issues facing students with disabilities ranging from the demographics of the population, educational settings, overrepresentation of certain student groups, achievement, high school completion, and transitions to adulthood.
This report released by America's Promise Alliance and prepared by EPE Research Center, finds that approximately half of the students served by the principal school systems in the nation's 50 largest cities are graduating from high school. The report is a predecessor to 2009's Cities in Crisis.
Influence: A Study of the Factors Shaping Education Policy
The EPE Research Center's new study has identified the most influential people, organizations, information sources, and research studies in education policy over the past decade.
High School Graduation in Texas
Analyses from the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center estimate that over 120,000 public high school students in the state of Texas failed to graduate with a regular diploma last school year. To put this crisis in perspective, the number of non-graduates is about double the combined number of students entering 9th grade in the state's seven largest school districts. Seventy percent of all non-graduates were members of minority racial and ethnic groups, indicating that minority students are disproportionately affected by this graduation crisis.
Making the Connection:
A decade of standards-based reform and achievement
January 2006
Quality Counts 2006 finds that over the past decade states have increasingly adopted core policies related to standards-based education—academic standards, aligned assessments, accountability, and efforts to improve teacher quality.
Evolution in State Science Education Standards

In a part, I create a sketch, add annotation Type in the file name. Then create an Emboss feature using this sketch.
How can I add the file name property to the text. I want the the emboss to update to new file name if I rename the file.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi CAD-One,
Mark Randa wrote some iLogic to do this (http://opendesignproject.org/).
I'm having some trouble getting his link to work, but I've attached an example file using his code, as well as a link to a video of it being set up: http://youtu.be/Y5a8IYyxFLo
In the example, you can change the part number iProperty and then save the file to run the ilogic rule. The attached file was created in Inventor 2010, in case some one with an older version is interested also.
Also, I'd look for this to be do-able "out of the box" in a future release of Inventor.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Did you find this reply helpful ? If so please use the Accept as Solution or Kudos button below.
Great help. Thanks
I was able to get this to work on an ipart that is vaulted. What isn't working for me is running the rule so the appropriate text is visible depending on which instance of the ipart is placed into an assembly. I would think that there should be some way to make the rule run when each of the ifactory parts are generated?

Endothelial dysfunction in endocrine disease
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 12, Issue 6, 1 August 2001, Pages 257-265
Tarig A.M. Abdu, Tarik Elhadd, Marija Pfeifer and Richard N. Clayton
AbstractIn addition to diabetes mellitus and obesity, acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, hypopituitarism, hypo- and hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism and polycystic ovary syndrome are associated with either increased mortality from, or increased prevalence of, cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently, endothelial dysfunction has been identified as an early marker of CVD and has been shown to predict future coronary artery disease, before atherosclerotic changes appear in arteries. Thus, measurement of endothelial function might identify at-risk individuals early and be a useful means of assessing response to treatment aimed at reducing long-term morbidity and/or mortality from CVD. Such studies are being undertaken in hypopituitarism and other endocrinopathies, and are reviewed herein. Endothelial function in large vessels can be measured noninvasively by ultrasound measurement of flow-mediated endothelium-dependent dilation (FMD). Serum markers of endothelial function, such as von Willebrand's factor, thrombomodulin, E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule 1, could be increased and be useful for evaluation of treatment, because they correlate inversely with FMD.

Growth Hormone Therapy for Hypopituitary Adults: Time for Re-appraisal
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 11, Issue 6, 1 August 2000, Pages 238-245
Ariel L Barkan, David R Clemmons, Mark E Molitch, Paul M Stewart and William F Young
AbstractThe advent of the production of large quantities of recombinant growth hormone (GH) has made it possible to have sufficient material to assess its efficacy in adult growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Although some studies have shown that patients who are severely deficient benefit from GH therapy, the spectrum of GHD is broad, and the degree of deficiency at times is very difficult to define. In some cases, benefit is not easily quantified, and some studies have claimed benefits that, although statistically significant, are either not clinically important or are so marginal as to be questionable in terms of cost, difficulty of administration and potential risks. The purpose here is to identify the current problems in the diagnosis of GHD, to discuss the rationale for GH therapy and to assess the potential effects of GHD as well as the benefits of GH therapy in GHD adults. We will include a commentary as to which effects appear more robust than others and which are likely to result in the greatest patient benefit. Finally, some attention will be paid to long-term safety issues that should be monitored to ensure that this medication is safe even for the patients with the greatest need.

b Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Lund University Hospital, SE 221 85 Lund, Sweden
Several studies have shown that patients with acromegaly have increased mortality rates for cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease (CVD). Similar associations have also been seen for patients with hypopituitarism or with non-functional pituitary adenomas. This review summarizes these data and discusses the relative importance of different risk factors for cardiovascular, especially CVD, mortality among patients with acromegaly or non-functional pituitary adenomas, and for those with hypopituitarism as a result of other causes.

Hydrophobic Ion Hydration and the Magnitude of the Dipole Potential Biophysical Journal, Volume 82, Issue 6, 1 June 2002, Pages 3081-3088 Jens Schamberger and Ronald J. Clarke Abstract The magnitude of the dipole potential of lipid membranes is often estimated from the difference in conductance between the hydrophobic ions, tetraphenylborate, and tetraphenylarsonium or tetraphenylphosphonium. The calculation is based on the tetraphenylarsonium-tetraphenylborate hypothesis that the magnitude of the hydration energies of the anions and cations are equal (i.e., charge independent), so that their different rates of transport across the membrane are solely due to differential interactions with the membrane phase. Here we investigate the validity of this assumption by quantum mechanical calculations of the hydration energies. Tetraphenylborate (ΔGhydr=−168kJmol−1) was found to have a significantly stronger interaction with water than either tetraphenylarsonium (ΔGhydr=−145kJmol−1) or tetraphenylphosphonium (ΔGhydr=−157kJmol−1). Taking these differences into account, literature conductance data were recalculated to yield values of the dipole potential 57 to 119mV more positive in the membrane interior than previous estimates. This may partly account for the discrepancy of at least 100mV generally observed between dipole potential values calculated from lipid monolayers and those determined on bilayers.

Hydrophobic ion interactions with membranes. Thermodynamic analysis of tetraphenylphosphonium binding to vesicles Biophysical Journal, Volume 49, Issue 2, 1 February 1986, Pages 531-540 R.F. Flewelling and W.L. Hubbell Abstract The thermodynamic properties for the interaction of the hydrophobic ion tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) with egg phosphatidylcholine vesicles were studied in detail by equilibrium dialysis and spin label techniques. A partition coefficient of beta = 4.2 + 0.4 x 10(-6) cm (K congruent to 100) was determined. Electrostatic saturation sets in at approximately 600 microM (about one absorbed TPP+ molecule per 100 lipids), and is not screened by salt. The temperature dependence of binding was determined, which reveals that the binding is entropy-driven with a positive (repulsive) enthalpy of binding, a result to be compared with hydrophobic anions in which the binding enthalpy is negative. The membrane dipole potential may be responsible for this binding difference. Activity coefficients are determined and shown to be significantly different from those of most common salts, an important result that should be considered in all hydrophobic ion studies. Comparison of the TPP+ results with those of its anionic structural analogue, tetraphenylboron (TPB-), permits a general analysis of hydrophobic ion interactions with membranes. A theoretical model consistent with the entire set of data is developed in an accompanying article. Abstract | PDF (1084 kb) |
Hofmeister Effects of Anions on the Kinetics of Partial Reactions of the Na,K-ATPase Biophysical Journal, Volume 77, Issue 1, 1 July 1999, Pages 267-281 Constanta Ganea, Alexandru Babes, Christian Lüpfert, Ernst Grell, Klaus Fendler and Ronald J. Clarke Abstract The effects of lyotropic anions, particularly perchlorate, on the kinetics of partial reactions of the Na+,K+-ATPase from pig kidney were investigated by two different kinetic techniques: stopped flow in combination with the fluorescent label RH421 and a stationary electrical relaxation technique. It was found that 130mM NaClO4 caused an increase in the Kd values of both the high- and low-affinity ATP-binding sites, from values of 7.0 (± 0.6) μM and 143 (± 17) μM in 130mM NaCl solution to values of 42 (± 3) μM and 660 (± 100) μM in 130mM NaClO4 (pH 7.4, 24°C). The half-saturating concentration of the Na+-binding sites on the E1 conformation was found to decrease from 8–10mM in NaCl to 2.5–3.5mM in NaClO4 solution. The rate of equilibration of the reaction, E1P(Na+)3 ↔ E2P+3Na+, decreased from 393 (± 51) s−1 in NaCl solution to 114 (± 15) s−1 in NaClO4. This decrease is attributed predominantly to an inhibition of the E1P(Na+)3 → E2P(Na+)3 transition. The effects can be explained in terms of electrostatic interactions due to perchlorate binding within the membrane and/or protein matrix of the Na+,K+-ATPase membrane fragments and alteration of the local electric field strength experienced by the protein. The kinetic results obtained support the conclusion that the conformational transition E1P(Na+)3 → E2P(Na+)3 is a major charge translocating step of the pump cycle.

Research Article
R.F. Flewelling and W.L. Hubbell
The total potential energy profile for hydrophobic ion interactions with lipid bilayers can be written as the sum of four terms: the electrical Born, image and dipole contributions, and a neutral energy term. We introduce a specific model for the membrane dipole potential, treating it as a two-dimensional array of point dipoles located near each membrane-water interface. Together with specific theoretical models for the other energy terms, a total potential profile is developed that successfully describes the complete set of thermodynamic parameters for binding and translocation for the two hydrophobic ion structural analogues, tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) and tetraphenylboron (TPB-). A reasonable fit to the data is possible if the dipole potential energy has a magnitude of 5.5 + 0.5 kcal/mol (240 + 20 mV), positive inside, and if the neutral energy contribution for TPP+ and TPB- is -7.0 + 1.0 kcal/mol. These results may also have important implications for small ion interactions with membranes and the energetics of charged groups in membrane proteins.
