2002 Buick Rendezvous Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 13 reviews
Buick hasn't had a truck in its lineup since 1923, and although the new 2002 Buick Rendezvous is an SUV, it does sit on a truck-based platform, the same one used by the controversial Pontiac Aztek. But Buick's first entry into the SUV market sports a more conservative design, aiming to be an affordable luxury SUV competing against more upscale foreign brands. The 2000 Rendezvous comes in CX and CXL trims, both with a 3.4-liter, 185-hp V6 and 4-speed automatic. The CX offers either FWD or AWD, while the CXL is only AWD.
Both trims have ABS brakes, dual front-side airbags, and traction control. The traction system in the CXL is Versatrak, which assigns torque to the wheels that need it. The standard seating arrangement is two rows for five passengers, but it can be equipped with an optional third row, which folds flat into the floor. The second row also flips and folds or can be removed entirely. When all seats are down, the 54.5 cubic foot trunk expands to 108 cubic feet. Lots of headroom and a low entry make access easier, without fear of constantly bumping your head. The CXL is the better equipped of the two trims, adding leather seats, but many bells and whistles will cost extra, such as a sunroof, OnStar, parking sensors, power front seats with memory settings, and a revamped heads-up display that projects car information onto the windshield.
Using Tiger Woods as its spokesman demonstrates Buick's intentions to market the 2002 Rendezvous to a younger crowd, albeit a golfing crowd, meaning the average buyer will probably fall somewhere in their 50s. Owners say the SUV drives like a car, and that they like the styling, the comfortable seats, the cargo flexibility, and roominess. There have been many major repairs reported, however, most commonly with wheel bearings and the intake manifold, along with electronic problems and a pesky rear hatch. Other complaints mention the limited third row legroom, and the need for a more powerful engine.

I need to see the contents of a std::map variable while debugging. However, if i click on it in the Autos/Locals Tab, I see implementation specific stuff, instead of the keys and its contents which I want to look at. Is there a work-around i'm missing ?
I have no VS2003 nearby at the moment. But you could try to add in "autoexp.dat" the following section (I was sure that in VS2003 there are already included sections for all standard types):
The structure of this file and the syntax of autoexp rules may change from one release of Visual Studio to the next. Read here more about custom visualizers for Visual Studio.
I don't have a copy of Visual Studio 2003 around to test with, but I just checked VS2008 and 2010 and both automatically display the contents of the map on hover. I vaguely remember having a lot of trouble with STL inspection in 2003, so my guess is that it's a feature that they substantially improved in the intervening years.
If it's possible for your project, you might consider upgrading to Visual C++ 2008 Express, which is free and should have most of the features you need.

Broken Foot
I broke my foot two days ago and had to have a screw put in. I am supposed to be totally non-weight bearing for at least 5 to 6 weeks. I do have a knee walker to get around with in the house, but would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for something I could get around the yard with. I am an avid gardener and just finished cleaning out two of my flower beds before the accident (with many more to go). I have thought of a wheelchair, but don't have the upper body strength to wheel myself around in the grass. I broke my other foot in October so was unable to get the beds ready for winter. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
My heart goes out to you, Burt...
Think you could use something like this with a kid's red wagon to rest your leg on and pile up debris as well?
(3rd and 4th row)
Or more pricey...
Hope your recuperation goes quickly and easily!
How's it going Burt?
I was wondering if you could at least rent a scooter. ....maybe one with wheels that could handle grass and dirt?
I can appreciate your situation and your frustration. I use a golf cart to get around the property, but I still have to get out of it to do things. My feet and knees are getting worse and worse, and I'm trying to think ahead, as to what I would use, to remain functional outside.
I hope you have found a solution.
Also......I might add that I hope you're looking into why your bones are breaking. Maybe you need more calcium, or something like that?
Best of luck to you in your recovery!

"This season's color palette emphasizes this need for balance, while at the same time allowing for individuality, self-expression, and excitement," says Leatrice Eiseman of the Pantone Color Institute.
This season addresses consumers' desires for self-expression, balance, and the need to re-energize. The color direction builds upon these needs with a palette that mixes dynamic brights with novel neutrals to create a harmonious balance, according to the Pantone Color Institute. This allows for unique combinations that offer practicality and versatility, but at the same time, demand attention and earn an appreciative glance.
"The expression 'balancing act' is something we all relate to as we strive to find harmony in the frantic pace of our everyday lives," says Leatrice Eiseman, the institute's executive director. "This season's color palette emphasizes this need for balance, while at the same time allowing for individuality, self-expression, and excitement."
The Pantone Fashion Color Report Spring 2013 predicts that emerald (shown, and named by Pantone as the "color of 2013"), African violet, tender shoots, poppy red, and six other hues will make up the spring palette. View the full report at www.pantone.com/spring2013.

Hello All.
I wonder if I could ask a little advice?
Generally, I brew beer but I thought I'd have a go at cider.
I had a 1 gallon demijohn unused, so I went out and bought a gallon of apple juice, some sugar and some wine yeast.
Everything went well - plenty of CO2 being given off. At the end of fermentation it cleared very nicely. I've tasted it, and it's very nice indeed but obviously it's flat.
I've put it in some plastic bottles with priming sugar in the hope of carbonating it, but nothing seems to be happening. I't been about 3 days now and the bottles aren't getting any "fatter".
Did I leave it to clear too long? Am I destined to have flat cider?
3 days seems like way too short a time to expect carbonation. For my beer, 3 weeks at room temp is the minimum I would expect to give it for decent carb.
How long did you let the cider ferment/age for? I expect cider will take even longer than beer since it has probably been sitting longer. I wouldn't start worrying for AT LEAST 3 weeks.
Also, how much priming sugar did you use? What temp are your bottles at?
I've found that my ciders take a bit longer to carb than beer, and can take as long as two months to carb up properly, depending on how long I let the cider sit and clear.
3 Days? Come on man. Have a little patience.
Bit late to the party but thought I'd add my 2p, around 8 weeks for cider carbonation. 3 days you will have pretty much nothing.
I've noticed signs of carbonation within hours (albeit with beer), so it always surprises me when people talk of 'months' for carbonation! I guess it depends on how long you condition for before bottling. It makes sense that if you don't bottle for 3 weeks, it'll take the few remaining cells a little while to get going on your priming sugar.

Pollution perhaps linked to gas drilling vanishing
"There is a general downward trend" in conductivity levels for 2012, Reilly said. "That's good news."
Steve Forde, a spokesman for the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group, said its members had "been committed from the very outset" to complying with the state request to stop discharging wastewater at regular treatment plants. Now, most of the brine is either recycled or sent to deep underground wells for disposal.
Still, VanBriesen and Reilly cautioned that the Monongahela River is still far from being a pristine waterway. Coal-fired power plants and old flooded coal mines also discharge water into the Monongahela River that can contain bromides and other pollutants, and many other industries are based in the region.
The Marcellus Shale lies under parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland. The gas drilling procedure hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has made it possible to tap into deep reserves of oil and gas but has raised concerns about pollution. Large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected underground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas.
Regulators contend that water and air pollution problems are rare, but environmental groups and some scientists say there hasn't been enough research on those issues. The industry and many federal and state officials say the practice is safe when done properly.

AJACCIO, Corsica — Behind Jan Bakelants, the Belgian who rode with guts and guile to win Stage Two at the Tour de France, there were other smaller but no less impressive victories Sunday that don't get so widely noticed — by the race's riding wounded.
In other circumstances, logic would prescribe rest, recovery and TLC for the likes of Geraint Thomas, who was among the more badly beaten up of the dozen or so riders who slammed into the tarmac in a vicious high-speed pileup a day earlier in the frenetic end of Stage One.
But the moving circus that is the Tour waits for no man, even those with deep cuts, evil bruises or, like Thomas, teeth-grinding pain in his left hip that made it difficult for him to walk, let alone hold his place in the world's toughest bike race.
In other sports, players who pick up knocks generally get at least a few days to heal before the next game. But the Tour's injured are afforded no such luxury. For them, the choice is either to soldier on with their aches and pains, hoping for a better tomorrow, or be among the first to quit. Which, for many of them, isn't much of a choice at all.
So a whopping 17 minutes and 35 seconds after Bakelants gave the chasing pack the slip and got the stage win that, for now at least, also secured him the race leader's yellow jersey, Thomas hauled himself across the finishing line.
"It feels a bit like a win in itself," said the 27-year-old Welshman who rides for Sky, the team of Chris Froome, this year's favorite.
At 97 miles, the stage from the east to the west coast of Corsica, from Bastia to Ajaccio, both of them ports, was one of the shortest of this 100th Tour. But for Thomas, it felt "like an eternity."
Bakelants got to celebrate on the podium and share his joy.
"It's fantastic," the RadioShack team rider said.
Thomas just got to fight — make that suffer — for another day. From the field of 198 riders, just two finished behind Thomas. The other 195 were ahead.
He said Saturday's pileup is a bit of a blur.
"I remember just flipping straight over and, you know, just landing straight on my back," he said.
Froome's most dangerous rival for overall victory, two-time former champion Alberto Contador, was another of those caught in that crash. The Spaniard said he, too, was sore on Sunday, although he rode well — staying in the main pack that finished one second behind Bakelants.
"It was difficult to start off. There is pain in your whole body," Contador said. "You feel bad here, here and here," he said, pointing to his shoulder and elbow and hip.
Froome and other candidates for overall victory also were in Contador's group. So going into Monday's stage, the third and last on Corsica before the Tour crosses back onto the French mainland, the main contenders remain on an equal footing.
Froome, however, looks particularly fresh and strong. On the road into Ajaccio, the Briton made an impression and maybe scored a few psychological points by sprinting away from the pack for a while. It was a tactical move that perhaps would have impressed Ajaccio's most famous son, Napoleon Bonaparte, the wily military and political leader of France born there in 1769.

Description: William Jennings Bryan (seated at left) being interrogated by Clarence Seward Darrow, during the trial of the State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes, July 20, 1925. That Monday afternoon, because of the extreme heat, Judge Raulston moved court proceedings outdoors. The session was held on a platform that had been erected at the front of the Rhea County Courthouse to accommodate ministers who wanted to preach during the time of the trial. Defense lawyers for Scopes (John R. Neal, Arthur Garfield Hays, and Dudley Field Malone) are visible seated to the extreme right. One of the men at left, with his back to the photographer, appears to be Scopes. The court reporters are seated at the table.

Collection: Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes Trial Photographs - During 1925, Watson Davis (1896-1967), Science Service managing editor, took numerous photographs while covering the State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes trial as a reporter. In what was dubbed "The Trial of the Century," Scopes was tried and convicted for violating a state law prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. William Jennings Bryan served on the prosecution team, and Clarence Darrow defended Scopes. Almost eighty years later, the nitrate negatives, including portraits of trial participants, and images from the trial itself and significant places in Dayton, were discovered in archival material donated to the Smithsonian by Science Service in 1971. Marcel C. LaFollette, an independent scholar, historian and Smithsonian volunteer uncovered these rare, previously unpublished photographs of the 1925 Tennessee vs. John Scopes "Monkey Trial" in the Smithsonian Institution Archives (SIA). In 2005, SIA restored fifty-two of the negatives with funds granted by the Smithsonian Women's Committee. Included here are thirty-nine of the images. All images belong to the Record Unit 7091: Science Service, Records, 1902-1965 collection of SIA. All photographs were taken by Watson Davis, Managing Editor of Science Service, while he was in Dayton, Tennessee, June 4-5, 1925, and July 10-22, 1925. LaFollette identified and dated each of these images, and has published a new book highlighting these and other images from the trial entitled, Reframing Scopes: Journalists, Scientists, and Lost Photographs from the Trial of the Century, University Press of Kansas, 2008.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Despondent over the slow pace of post-war reconstruction, displaced Gazans have begun to return to their damaged homes, patching up the structures with cinder blocks and plastic sheets and living in the unstable and unsafe buildings while they wait for promised aid to arrive.

Robin Williams' widow and his three children have agreed to out-of-court negotiations in a battle over parts of the late actor's estate -- including movie awards such as his 1998 Oscar for "Good Will Hunting". A judge in San Francisco delayed until June a hearing on a suit filed in December by Susan Schneider, with whom the comedian and movie star had been married for five years when he committed suicide in August of last year at the age of 63. Schneider's attorney, James Wagstaffe, told AFP that over the next two weeks he would meet with Williams' three children from two previous marriages -- Zelda, Zachary and Cody Williams -- to try to reach an agreement.

This blush gives a great glow to the cheeks, and I actually prefer this over Nars Orgasm. I find I have to pile on Orgasm to get the same effect but then looks too powdery on the cheeks. With Sugarbomb the colour is subtle but looks more natural.

I'm a complete blusher fiend and sugarbomb is one of my favourite blushers ever!! I have fair-ish skin (NW20) and this is a perfect colour for me. A lovely mix of pink and peach which looks really natural. It gives a nice glowy sheen without being glittery. Its my everyday blush which I've been using since it was launched. It is expensive for what it is but I will and have repurchased :)

As usual, I dislike the cardboard packaging and the brush it comes with is not my cup of tea. However what I will tell you is that I love love love this as a blush. It is nice and sheer, easily buildable and works great with my skin tone. This is so far my favourite of the Benefit powders boxes that I own.

BeneFit is usually quite pricey and so is this but is totally worth it! SugarBomb has colour and a bronzer all in one! two coats makes my cheecks rosy but not overly pink and bright. It gives me a beautiful colour to my cheeks and doesn't make me break out!
- Bronzer and colour in one
-comes with brush
-compact so can carry around easily
- doesn't make you break out
- The brush that it comes with is a bit 'awkward'. I prefer a big, round brush but this blush comes with a flat brush but its not bad.
I recommend this to everyone and anyone! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

About the facts: I'm NC15 with dark brown hair and blue-green eyes, hence, what one would call a 'winter type'. Winter types are supposed to wear cold or neutral colours so I guess, Sugarbomb doesn't quite fit in there. I've been wanting to have it for about a year now, nonetheless. Sugarbomb reminds me of a phenomenon in the theory of colours that my teacher used to tell us about: As soon as you use more than three colours swirled together, you'll get brown as a result. And indeed in the mirror (in artificial light!) Sugarbomb looks almost like a bronzer on me. I like it, don't get me wrong, because it looks absolutely natural and not in the least bit dirty like all other bronzers ultimately do. It's more like added contour. In daylight, however, it looks rosy/pink-ish and brings forth a beautiful, subtle glow. And still, it looks very natural. It makes me wonder how people with darker skin than mine, would ever make this work. It is well pigmented but still very light and even I have to apply several layers (3 or 4) to make it show. I totally adore the outcome - makes me look healthy and gives me an elven complexion without ever being obvious. BUT: I'm honest here, I think this could be achieved with other, less pricier products, too. I'm thinking about a baked blush by the Body Shop I have in my stash. So Sugarbomb was a purchase driven purely by lust and I don't regret spending the money but I don't really think I will buy again. I do understand the hype around it, though.

One of the employees at Ulta used this product on my cheeks and I loved it! I went back to purchase it in my next trip and am so glad I did!
Sugarbomb gives my cheeks a really nice shimmer for the summer and a very nice coral/pink coloring. I tend to use it over cream blushes and cheek tints to give it a little more color and to add a little bit of highlight to the creams/tints. It blends out easily and is a very buildable color.
My only complaint would be the packaging, as the top tends to loosen over time, as other Benefit boxed products do.
I will definitely repurchase!

This is more than a decent blush for my NC 20 skin. It is uas sheer as I wantit and still noticable. It is great for every day use and don't think it is too shimmery. In Greece though it seems too expensive for a cartboard paper packaging.

Amazing! Not as pigmented as Coralista or Bella Bamba, but the colour that is produced from swirling the three shades is stunning. It looks so natural and i get a tonne of compliments when wearing it! Indeed, it does last ages! For some reading my yellow/orange/peach colour isn't wearing down as much as the others, but its probably my fault in the way that i blend it. Kudos to whoever artistically illustrated the packaging its so cute. When you compare benefits gorgeous packaging to boring old MAC or NARS, you see why you'd pay a bit for a blush like this. Its well thought out from every single angle.
I cant tell you how much i love this. If you are hesitant, get the sales assistant to pop some on you, otherwise, hop down to Benefit, stat. Because you are missing out on one of the best-kept beauty secrets :)

Oh how I love this product!
Not only did it last forever but its by far the most pigmented blusher I've ever bought. Be warned though, use it sparingly because its more pigmented than you may suspect!
I simply adore the colours swirled together but I had such the love affair with the peachy colour in the quad. I wish BeneFit sold it separately, it was what I feel Georgia should have been.

I purchased this product about one year ago and I only hit pan about a month ago. This colour is perfect for me and catches the light perfectly without being overly shimmery or containing glitter. You can use the brush in a certain way to make sure you get more of the dark pink etc if you so wish. I like to mix it up though and get the benefit (get it!?) of all the colours.
I feel as if I am too pale for Thrrob or Coralista so I feel this is perfect for me. The product costs £23.50 but if you use if every day (say once a day) for a year thats £0.06 per application! Brilliant value!!!!! :D Recommended.

Ashanti Inn Guest House: Beg Bugs are Biting in Montego Bay!
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...the Ashanti "Inn" in Montego Bay, Jamaica. It all sounded so charming, locally owned and operated, off the beaten path (i.e. no tourist)...
It had the makings to be a really great experience...and then we arrived. "Ya gawan peay for da whole ting first mon. Cash only mon." Well yes, a little outside the norm, but what the heck do I know...I'm sure it'll be fine...famous last words.
Well it all went down hill from there. No hot water, outrageous street noise 24/7, unsafe surroundings, and the scratchiest sheets I'd ever touched (think grandmas linen's). And that was just the first ten minutes.
The experience lead to a bout with bed bugs, and YES I literally mean bed bugs, that we unwittingly brought home with us and ended up costing us thousands to get rid of after the "vacation" was long over with.
The accommodations at the Ashanti cost about $50US per night, not a savings by any stretch...we found plenty of places that were better run and still fit in the category of locally owned and operated in that price range. If you do choose to risk staying at a guest house, refuse to pay for the whole stay up front, so you can leave if it turns out bad and definitely ask to see the rooms before committing.
As for bed bugs, travelers beware. There is a definite rise in the appearance of these nasty little parasites everywhere and you'll want to become an expert on identifying their presence if you frequently stay in public places. There are a lot of good websites that provide great information about this problem, you can just Google "Bed bugs".
I now check the bed of any hotel I stay in the minute I walk into a room. I just take a peak at the mattress for the tell tale stains and droppings that the bugs leave behind....
Well I don't have a ton of great things to say except that there was a good local restaurant (think no frills, no atmosphere, good local cooking) attached to this guest house that a lot of the locals came to. I don't remember the name of the place but just go to the Ashanti and the place is right there.

Quilter Cheviot's David Miller has been kind enough to share his weekly Diary Of A Fund Manager with the gaim audience, when he explores the retirement choices which the Baby Boomer generation are now facing. David will be participating as a speaker on the first day of gaim 2015 'Allocating To Alternatives', as part of our brand new interactive adventure game session Investor Quest (Or 2015: A Portfolio Odyssey). Alongside him on this session will be other influential investors: John Alexander, CIO, CLEMSON UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION , Adi Divgi, President & CIO, EA GLOBAL , Bernard Saint-Donat, Founder, DONAT & CO and Gerald Chen-Young, VP & CIO, UNCF.
Volatility is on the rise across all asset classes. Equities had good and bad days last week, eventually ending down in both the US and UK. QE-fuelled Japanese and European markets moved higher. Bonds picked up after a poor month, but gold remained on a downtrend. The dollar continued its inexorable rise. The US retail report showed that consumers are saving rather than spending the low oil price windfall and news from China was below expectations. The weather took the blame in North America, whilst the Chinese New Year break excuse was trotted out on the other side of the Pacific. Forecasters remain optimistic about a pick-up in the Spring. European QE is causing all sorts of trouble, because spending €60 billion per month is proving harder to implement than expected. German government ten year bond yields are now down to 0.26% and the euro fell 3% against the dollar. These distortions will affect investment decisions around the world. US exporters are taking the hit, whilst European manufacturers are beneficiaries, but only if they have someone to sell to.
Last Wednesday I was in Birmingham to speak at the Defaqto discretionary fund management conference. As the day progressed demographic change and the implications for pensions emerged as the dominant theme. This resonated with a couple of weighty bits of research that I am working through at the moment in those rare quiet moments; the 60th Barclays Equity Gilt Study is suffering from content inflation (now stretching to 196 pages), while The Age of Responsibility from pension consultants Redington says what it has to say in only 135 pages, albeit the type face is smaller. The way in which we pay for our old age will have to change. All around the world 'the state' is withdrawing safety nets that we might have thought we could rely on. At the same time companies are trying to extricate themselves from open ended commitments by running down final salary pension schemes. All this at a time when central banks are conducting a massive monetary experiment through a combination of ultra-low interest rates and printing money. The problem is that the baby boomers (those born between 1945 and 1964) are living longer than expected so are causing as much trouble in their old age as they did at earlier stages of their lives.
Much is being made of providing freedom to individuals to plan for their own retirement. The link is being made between increased freedom and responsibility, which is a nice irony for those who in their younger days 'tuned in, turned on and freaked out'. I am sure that many were on the receiving end of freedom and responsibility lectures from their parents who had risked all for their future. Linked to freedom and responsibility is an issue that receives much less attention other than condescending comments about buying Lamborghinis with pension fund savings, and that is risk. Despite occasional evidence to the contrary, governments and employers aren't stupid. The reason that they are backing away from responsibility is because the promises made in the last century are too expensive to keep. This week BHS (formerly known as British Home Stores) was sold for £1, but the buyer also acquired the pension deficit of £100 million.
Income is a more important component of return for pensioners than for those still earning. On the basis of 'never again', the banking industry is being tied up with regulations designed to ensure that depositors' savings are safe. Trading desks have been closed and balance sheets stress tested. Investment bankers are under threat of mass extinction and the lending departments are now run by cautious prudent types who want their loans repaid. All entirely sensible and something no one could disagree with.
Governments in deficit and companies looking for cheap funding are delighted to be able to borrow at historically low rates of interest at a time when income-hungry investors are pleased to oblige with their savings. Since 2009, according to the Barclays report, taxable bond funds have seen a net inflow of $1.2 trillion. About half of this has gone into investment grade corporate bond funds with the rest split between those with mandates to move up and down the risk spectrum and outright high yield, aka junk bonds when the boomers were young traders!
Fixed income ETFs have grown from nothing to a lot during the same period. However, to quote Santa Barbara based hedge fund manager Eric Peters: 'Anyone without fear can be a genius bond investor when there are no defaults, spreads are compressing and the world is hungry for yield.' The question is who is the buyer if collectively we want to sell? Not the banks, because they are taking a lot less risk these days. And not the final salary pension schemes either, which are busy buying low return sovereign debt in order to ensure that assets and liabilities are matched.
In recent years savers have acquired responsibility for their financial security and, therefore, have more direct exposure to risk than was the case in 2008 when governments and banks took the rap. I am told by poker addicts that the most important part of the game is to work out who is the sucker at the table, because this is the person whose money you are going home with. If you can't work out who the sucker is, then it's you.

Where are the days of Art being all about getting pencil and ink on paper and getting paint in your hair and on your clothes!! Now it's all made up of, as you say, 1's and 0's :-)
This is a fave, for sure, of your digitised lino's. I love digital art though, it's mobile and mess-free. But ink on your fingers reminds you for days afterwards about the creative process that we all thrive on.
Great print. lovely design.
Paint brushes, pencils and computers are all simply tools – the ideas behind the art and the quality of the final product are (I would like to think) more important. But like you suggested… it is kinda nice to make a real mess occasionally!
Thanks Helette for stopping by and thanks for the comment!

Understanding your program and its value through the program logic model Jonathan Brown, M.A. Aarin Frigon, M.A. 1 Logic Models: An Overview • A graphic way to represent the current thinking about a project. • Logic models facilitate: • Design • Planning • Communication • Evaluation • Learning 2 Logic Models: An Overview • Two types of logic models: • Theory of Change Models (TCM) • Program Logic Models (PLM) • The TCM provides the conceptual framework, while the PLM provides the operational details. • The TCM and PLM are premised on the same research, theory, and practice. • These models fulfill your if-then statements. 3 Theory of Change Models Strategies Results 4 Theory of Change Models Strategies Results Exercise Nutrition Improved Health Stress Reduction Recruitment and Retention (Knowlton & Phillips, 2009) 5 Program Logic Models • A PLM serves as a recipe. • It will describe in detail how financial and social capital will be used to produce specific results. • They can be used to represent many things: an idea, an existing program, or a process to create change. 6 Program Logic Models Inputs Activities Outputs Outcomes Impacts Strategies Results 7 Program Logic Models: Nonlinear 8 Creating a Program Logic Model Step One • Start by identifying the end result of your program. • Identify the impact • The ultimate change or accomplishment. • The timing of the impact varies from program to program. • This may occur well after the final cycle of the program. 9 Creating a Program Logic Model Step Two • Identify the outcomes • Specific changes in program targets. • These changes are a result of the programs activities and inputs. • If including impact in the model, outcomes would be steps of progress towards that impact. • These can be distinguished according to time. • Time should be specified and relative to the program. 10 Creating a Program Logic Model Step Three • Identify activities • What will be done to obtain the desired outcomes. • These are the essence of the program. • The tools, events, and interventions. • These reflect intended processes. 11 Creating a Program Logic Model Step Four • Identify inputs • Inputs are the ingredients needed to make your program happen. • Infrastructure • Special Equipment • Supplies • Transportation • Financial and Human Resources • Some models even list willing participants as inputs. 12 Creating a Program Logic Model Step Five • Identify outputs • What the program activities actually produce/create. • Outputs should be expressed in quantity and quality. • Make sure you are specific. 13 Displaying Your Model • How to display your model is a matter of personal preference. • There are no clear rules. • Keep your audience in mind. • Be careful when choosing boxes, lines, curved lines, circles, and single or double headed arrows. • Readability should be a number one priority. 14 15 Program Logic Models and Evaluation • A well developed PLM will outline the indicators needed for an evaluation. • Five key evaluation questions: 1. Is the program doing the right thing? 2. Is the program doing things right? 3. What difference has the program made among participants? 4. What difference has the program made across the community? 5. How could the program better address the needs of participants and the community? 16 Important Considerations • Just because it is called a logic model does not mean it is logical. • Creating and updating logic models should be an iterative process. • It is a good idea to identify the dose of the program in the model. 17 QUESTIONS??

Work the Shell - Scripting Common File Rename Operations
I'm guessing that each of us uses the command line differently and seeks to accomplish different tasks. Mine are sometimes very specialized, like the script I wrote that lets me easily transform the unique filenames from the Mac OS X built-in screen-capture utility into a Web-friendly format.
In the past few weeks, I realized I needed another fairly specialized script for file renaming, but this time, I wanted to write something as generally useful as possible.
There's already a utility included in some flavors of Linux called rename, but, alas, I couldn't find it on my Linux/NetBSD systems. If you have it, it probably duplicates the functionality I create this month. Still, read on. Hopefully, this'll be useful and interesting!
It's surprising how often I find myself on the command line typing in something like:
for name in xx* do new="$(echo $name | sed 's/xx/yy/')" mv $name $new done
So, that's the first part of the script I want to create, one that lets me just specify the OLD and NEW filename patterns, then simply renames all files matching "OLD" with the "NEW" pattern substituted.
For example, say I have test-file-1.txt and test-file-2.jpg and want to replace "test-file" with "demo". The goal is to have an invocation like:
rename test-file demo
The first step is actually the most difficult: matching an arbitrary pattern and catching any possible error conditions gracefully. The loop is going to end up looking like this:
for name in $1*
If there aren't any matches, however, you get an ugly error message and the script looks amateurish. So, the goal is actually to ascertain before the for loop how many matches there are to that given pattern.
Ah, okay, so ls $1* | wc -l does the trick, right? Nope, that'll still generate the same ugly error message.
Fortunately, there's a way in Bash that you can redirect stderr to go to stdout (that is, to have your error messages appear as standard messages, able to be rerouted, piped and so on).
The test for the number of matches, thus, can be done like this:
matches="$(ls -1 $1* 2>&1 | wc -l)"
I know, it's complicated. Worse, a quick test reveals that when there are zero matches, ls -l actually generates an error message: ls: No such file or directory. That's not good. The solution? Add a grep to the sequence:
matches="$(ls -1 $1* 2>&1 | grep -v "No such file" | wc -l)"
That's even more complicated, but it works exactly as we'd like. "matches" is zero in the situation where there aren't any matches; otherwise, it has the number of matching files and folders for the given pattern.
A test now lets us produce a meaningful and informative error message:
if [ $matches -eq 0 ] ; then echo "Error: no files match pattern $1*" exit 0 fi
Because we're looking at stderr versus stdout, we also could more properly route that error message to stderr with >&2, and to be totally correct, we should exit with a nonzero error code to indicate that the script failed to execute properly. I'll leave those tweaks as an exercise for the reader.
Now that we know we'll never hit the for loop without at least one match, the core code is straightforward:
for name in $1* do new="$(echo $name | sed "s/$1/$2/")" mv $name $new done
Notice in this instance that you can't use the single quotes within the $( ) command substitution; if you do, $1 and $2 won't be expanded properly.
We certainly could just stop here and have a useful little script, but I'm into wicked cool scripts, so let's push on, shall we?
The other feature I constantly find myself needing is the ability to number a series of files sequentially. For example, a final set of photos from a photo shoot might be DSC1017, DSC1019, DSC1023 and DSC1047. It would be more useful to be able to renumber those before sending them to a client, so that they're DSC-1, DSC-2, DSC-3 and so on.
This is pretty easily accomplished too, now that we have a script that renames a sequence of files. Here's how I accomplish it in the script itself:
if [ $renumber -eq 1 ] ; then suffix="$(echo $name | cut -d. -f2- | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]')" new="$2$count.$suffix" count=$(( $count + 1 )) mv $name $new chmod a+r $new fi
Here I am expecting to replace the entire filename, so I strip out and save the filename suffix (for example, DSC1015.JPG becomes JPG), so I can re-attach it later. While I'm at it, filename suffixes also are normalized to all lowercase using the handy tr command.
The count variable keeps track of what number we're on, and notice the built-in shell notation of $(( )) for mathematical calculations.
Finally, the new filename is built from the new pattern ($2), plus the count ($count), plus the filename suffix ($suffix) in this line:
The two conditions need to be merged, however, so the final script ends up with an if-then-else-fi structure.
I can't leave well enough alone, so I continued to tweak the script by adding a few starting flags too. To parse it all, our friend getopt is utilized:
args=$(getopt npt $*) if [ $? != 0 -o $# -lt 2 ] ; then echo "Usage: $(basename $0) {-p} {-n} {-t} PATTERN NEWPATTERN" echo " echo " -p rewrites PNG to png" echo " -n sequentially numbers matching files with" echo " NEWPATTERN as base filename" echo " -t test mode: show what you'll do, don't do it." exit 0 fi set -- $args for i do case "$i" in -n ) renumber=1 ; shift ;; -p ) fixpng=1 ; shift ;; -t ) doit=0 ; shift ;; -- ) shift ; break ;; fi
I've written about getopt and its complicated usage in shell scripts before if you want to read up on it [see "Parsing Command-Line Options with getopt" in the July 2009 issue of LJ, www.linuxjournal.com/article/10495]. Note that three flags are available to the script user: -n invokes the renumbering capability (which means the filenames are discarded, remember); -p is a special case where .PNG also is rewritten as .png; and -t is a sort of "echo-only" mode where the rename doesn't actually happen, the script just shows what it would do based on the patterns given.
How am I using it now? Like this:
rename -n IMG_ iphone-copy-paste-
Every matching .PNG file (IMG_*) has that portion of its name replaced with "iphone-copy-paste-", and as it proceeds, "PNG" is also rewritten as "png".
The entire rename script can be found on the Linux Journal FTP server at ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue199/10885.tgz.

A few problems
Hi Dave
I downloaded the script and it would not run. There were several syntax errors:
Line 14 was missing a double quote.
Line 30 had fi instead of esac (the case statement ending syntax)
Missing done after Line 30
Also, there were two other issues with using the script in renumbering mode, that you did not mention.
ONE - If there is no filename extension, then the original filename will be used as an extension name. For example, junk-1 through junk-11 will be renamed to:
Note the contents of the files (illustrated by the new extension) are no longer in the orignial sequence after being renamed.
Two - If there is a digit change in the original numbering sequence (ie. 1 digit to two or three digits to four) the contents of the renamed files will no longer be in the same sorting sequences as the original files.
If all numbers in the file name have the same number of digits then there is no problem with the contents of the files remaining in the same sorting sequence. If the original files above had a 0 in front of the single digit numbers there would not have been a problem with the rename.
Anyone using the script should be aware of this sorting sequence issue. Since mv is used to rename the files, and if the sorting sequence is important to you, the script could create a big mess that would be difficult or at least time consuming to restore to the original sorting sequence.
You could replace mv with cp and delete the original files if the script produced what you wanted or if it did not you could delete the new filenames and try again.
Other than all that... it worked fine.
All the new OSs and windowing systems are oriented towards content consumption instead of content production.

Cell Mechanics May Hold Key to How Cancer Spreads and RecursAugust 7, 2014 2:34 pm | News | Comments
Cancer cells that break away from tumors to go looking for a new home may prefer to settle into a soft bed. Some particularly enterprising cancer cells can cause a cancer to spread to other organs, called metastasis, or evade treatment to resurface after a patient is thought to be in remission. A team found that these so-called tumor-repopulating cells may lurk quietly in stiffer cellular environments, but thrive in a softer space.

Scientists at the Salk Institute have identified a gene responsible for stopping the movement of cancer from the lungs to other parts of the body, indicating a new way to fight one of the world's deadliest cancers. By identifying the cause of this metastasis—which often happens quickly in lung cancer and results in a bleak survival rate—Salk scientists are able to explain why some tumors are more prone to spreading than others.
Researchers Uncover New Cancer Cell VulnerabilityJuly 18, 2014 12:52 pm | News | Comments
Researchers have uncovered a genetic vulnerability of cancer cells that express telomerase— an enzyme that drives their unchecked growth— and showed that telomerase-expressing cells depend upon a gene named p21 for their survival.
Capturing Cancer: A Powerful New Technique for Early DiagnosisJuly 15, 2014 11:53 am | News | Comments
In recent years, aggressive research and substantial financial investments have been directed at discovering pre-symptomatic indicators of cancer, known as biomarkers. But as lead author researchers at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute emphasize in a new study, the quest for cancer biomarkers has been stymied by a number of factors. They describe a new technique for early disease detection, which they call immunosignaturing.
Cannabis Compound Could Slow Tumor GrowthJuly 14, 2014 1:39 pm | News | Comments
Scientists at the University of East Anglia have shown how the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis could reduce tumor growth in cancer patients. Research reveals the existence of previously unknown signaling platforms which are responsible for the drug's success in shrinking tumors. It is hoped that the findings could help develop a synthetic equivalent with anti-cancer properties.
Vitamin D Ups Bowel Cancer SurvivalJuly 9, 2014 4:31 pm | News | Comments
Bowel cancer patients with high levels of vitamin D in their blood are more likely to survive the disease, a new study shows. Patients with the highest levels of vitamin D have half the risk of dying compared with those with the lowest levels, the findings reveal.
New Mutations Found in Most Common Form of Lung CancerJuly 9, 2014 3:54 pm | News | Comments
Researchers have identified novel mutations in a well-known cancer-causing pathway in lung adenocarcinoma, the most common subtype of lung cancer. Knowledge of these genomic changes may expand the number of possible therapeutic targets for this disease and potentially identify a greater number of patients with treatable mutations because many potent cancer drugs that target these mutations already exist.
