Sal Khan with Black Girls Code's Kimberly BryantDate: Wed, April 08, 2015
Time: 7:00 PM
Kimberly Bryant, Founder, Black Girls Code
In conversation with Sal Khan, Founder and Executive Director, Khan Academy
"Imagine the impact that these curious, creative minds could have on the world with the guidance and encouragement others take for granted. I have, and I can't wait." – Kimberly Bryant
In 2011, only 6 percent of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) workers nationwide were black, up a mere 4 percentage points over the last 40 years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. For black women, the minority of minorities in the STEM world, access to opportunities that will shatter Silicon Valley's "boy's club" and diversify the industry have been long coming. Kimberly Bryant is looking to hasten this change. Founder of Black Girls Code, a nonprofit offering after-school programs and summer programs for young women of every color, Bryant seeks to give Silicon Valley's next generation of girls a fighting chance to program the future, one line of code at a time.
Join us for a conversation between Kimberly Bryant and another innovator bridging the digital divide, Khan Academy founder Sal Khan. This is the first in a new INFORUM series of interviews featuring Sal Khan in conversation with diverse leaders pushing the limits of learning and breaking boundaries in their industry.
Reception generously sponsored by Oracle and Microsoft.

American Whistleblowers: The Peril and Promise of ScienceDate: Thu, April 09, 2015
Time: 6:00 PM
Blowing the whistle within the health care industry

Christie Dames, CEO, TechTalk/Studio – Moderator
Whistleblowers, from Daniel Ellsberg in the '70s to Edward Snowden in recent years, have always received pointed public attention for exposing the internal dealings of our powerful political and military institutions. But who shines a light on the convoluted realm of health care, a massive industry that brought in over 1.6 trillion dollars in revenue over the past year? With health care choice at the nexus of our constitutional rights, and scares like Ebola and measles grabbing international headlines, how do we know we're getting information that is truthful? Come hear about the scientists, lauded by some and maligned by others, who decide to go public with information that many in the industry don't want us to see.

Kelvin Chin, Consultant; Public Speaker

Evolutionary UpWisingDate: Mon, April 13, 2015
Time: 6:00 PM
With Swami Beyondananda
Swami Beyondananda, Humorist; Satirist; FUNdamentalist
Once in many lifetimes there comes a being so enlightened, so evolved and so pure that the whole world is transformed. Unfortunately, Monday Night Philosophy couldn't find anyone like that. But we did find Swami Beyondananda, whose favorite yoga pose is tongue-in-cheek. A spiritual and political pundit (if anyone punned it, Swami probably punned it first), Swami will offer a healthier alternative to a revolutionary uprising to overthrow the system – an evolutionary upwising to overgrow the system. At a time when politics is laughable yet not all that funny, Swami will give you reason to laugh and reason to think. And if you have an answerable question for Swami, Swami will have a questionable answer for you.

Wed 4/15
The Digital Doctor: Hope, Hype and Harm at the Dawn of Medicine's Computer AgeDate: Wed, April 15, 2015
Time: 6:00 PM
With Robert M. Wachter, M.D.
Robert M. Wachter, M.D., Professor and Associate Chair, Department of Medicine, UCSF; Director, Division of Hospital Medicine
Everyone had high hopes that computers would be the magic bullet to improving healthcare's safety, quality and efficiency. In the past five years – due to a $30 billion federal incentive program – medicine has finally, reluctantly, gone digital. Using a dramatic case in which a child received a 39-fold overdose of a common antibiotic, this talk explores some of the unforeseen consequences of information technology. Those consequences range from the movement to hire scribes so doctors and patients can look each other in the eyes again to the tendency of clinicians to defer to a new kind of authority: an electronic one. It will also touch on core issues in medicine, such as what it means to be a doctor – and patient – in the digital age. Dr. Wachter's new book, The Digital Doctor, will be published in April.
Net Zero: Homes and WasteDate: Wed, April 15, 2015
Time: 6:30 PM
Discussing the possibility of net zero energy and waste.
Net Zero Homes
6:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Sven Thesen, Owner, Net Zero home
Ann Edminster, Green Home Consultant; Author, Energy Free: Homes for a Small Planet
Daniel Simons, Principal, David Baker Architects
Net Zero Waste
7:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
Kevin Drew, Residential Zero Waste Coordinator, San Francisco Department of the Environment
Lauren Hennessy, Outreach Manager, Sustainable Stanford
Additional Panelists TBA
Zero is the new hundred. Designing and operating a home that generates as much energy as it uses used to be a theoretical concept. Now it's becoming a reality. Some homes are also catching as much water as they use. Pricey? Sure. But not as pricey as you might think. We'll discuss real homes that are exploring the boundaries of efficient living without reducing comfort.
San Francisco aims to produce zero waste by 2020. Is that really possible in a city with a booming economy and growing population? The city is ahead of the curve but policy, culture and psychology need to come together to reach the finish line. Other cities and universities are joining in and shaping the habits of big institutions and future generations.
?In addition to talking trash, at this event Climate One staff will invite others to join them in the 5-Day Trash On Your Back challenge. Will you join us in carrying on your back in a plastic bag all the items you would otherwise put in landfill? We will compost and recycle items that Bay Area citizens devoutly place in those streams. Everything else goes into the bag and on your back. Take it to work, on your commute, and to that soccer game. Yep, there is no "away." Snap a photo of your experience and share it on social media. On April 22nd, those who complete the challenge will gather at The Club to weigh their bags, share their stories, and exchange high fives. Are you in? Join us on April 15th to get started.
Thu 4/16
Juan Enriquez: Evolving OurselvesDate: Thu, April 16, 2015
Time: 6:00 PM
Discussing Evolving Ourselves with the co-authors
Juan Enriquez, Co-Founder, Excel Venture Management; Co-author, Evolving Ourselves: How Unnatural Selection and Nonrandom Mutation Are Changing Life on Earth, Twitter: @Evolving
Paul Saffo, Futurist; Professor, Stanford University, Twitter: @psaffo - Moderator
Why are humans living longer, getting smarter and having fewer kids? Even more, why are rates of conditions like autism, asthma, obesity, and allergies exploding at an unprecedented pace? Though some of the harbingers of change are deeply unsettling, they also present us with a tremendous opportunity. Markedly improved living conditions and new advances in biotechnology are helping us to mitigate the cruel forces of natural selection, from saving prematurely born babies to providing gene therapies to patients suffering from sickle cell anemia and other conditions. As technology enables us to take control of our genes, we will be able to alter our own species and many others – a good thing, given how our continued survival depends on our ability to adapt in drastic ways. Join us as futurist Juan Enriquez conducts a sweeping tour of how humans are changing the course of evolution – sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.
Mantra and MeditationDate: Thu, April 16, 2015
Time: 6:00 PM
With Vedic scholar Prabha Duneja
Prabha Duneja, Vedic scholar; Author, The Legacy of Yoga in Bhagawad Geeta and Hinduism: Scriptures and Practices
Meditation with mantra has been highly glorified by the Vedic sages as a powerful means for inner peace and yogic unity in transcendence. A mantra can be a syllable, a single word, a hymn or a verse. It is a word of power imbued with enormous latent energy. Constant recitation of a mantra is said to enclose the thoughts into a small circle and the scattered attention into a collective, thus preparing the mind for concentration and calmness in meditation.
Fri 4/17
The Islamic StateDate: Fri, April 17, 2015
Time: 12:00 PM
Discussing the catastrophe of ISIS
Bonnie Joy Kaslan, Consul General, Turkey
Karima Bennoune, Professor of International Law, UC Davis; Author, Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here
Karaman Mamand, Kurdish Human Rights Lawyer; Educator, Researcher
Maher Kalaji, Ph.d., Jordanian
Dina Ibrahim, PhD; Educator, Media Analyst – Moderator
Additional Panelists TBA
The meteoric rise of the Islamic State has had a disastrous effect on the lives of those caught in its path. With a zone of control stretching across the border of Syria and Iraq, ISIS has brought its violence to bear on the diverse mix of peoples who had called the terror group's newest fiefdoms home: Kurds and Yazidis, both Shia and Sunni Muslims, and Coptic Christians have all been brutalized by the terror group and its affiliates. As the region's strongest political actors – Jordan, Egypt, and Turkey – find themselves ineluctably drawn into the conflict, their representatives must weigh the risks that forceful intervention and purposeful disengagement carry. Come take part as our insightful panel discusses the catastrophe of ISIS in both human and political terms.
Mon 4/20
When Cultures CollideDate: Mon, April 20, 2015
Time: 12:00 PM
International communications experts share the advances to bridging cultural gaps.
Richard D. Lewis, Linguist; Founder, Richard Lewis Communications; Founder Berlitz Schools; Author, When Cultures Collide; Knight Commander, Order of the Lion of Finland
Michael Gates, Associate Fellow, Saïd Business School; Vice-Chairman, Richard Lewis Communications
Craig Martin, Founder, Martin Global Leaders – Moderator
Unforeseen cultural differences are frequently the source of misunderstandings between individuals, nations and businesses. Cultural predispositions that inform our sense of self and nationality have especially far-reaching implications for organizations working across the globe. Understanding these factors and predicting how differing cultures will interact and allow (or hinder) effective communication, cooperation and decision-making is a source of great advantage, particularly in today's interconnected and inflammable world. Among the leaders of this approach are Richard Lewis and Michael Gates, international communications experts who will share with us the advances brought to bridging cultural gaps through the globally respected Lewis Model.
Cédric Villani: The Living Art of MathematicsDate: Mon, April 20, 2015

Cédric Villani, Mathematician; Author, Birth of a Theorem
In conversation with David Eisenbud, Director, Mathematical Sciences Research Institute
In 2010, French mathematician Cédric Villani received the Fields Medal, the most coveted prize in mathematics, in recognition of a proof which he devised with his close collaborator Clément Mouhot to explain one of the most surprising theories in classical physics. Birth of a Theorem is Villani's own account of the years leading up to the award. It invites readers inside the mind of a great mathematician as he wrestles with the most important work of his career.
Join us for an insightful visit about mathematical thinking and its ability to enhance perception. In mathematics, as in any creative work, it is the thinker's whole life that propels discovery, and Cédric Villani will welcome you into his.

President, Americans for Tax Reform
Grover Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform; Author, End the IRS Before it Ends Us; Twitter @GroverNorquist
Quentin Hardy, Deputy Technology Editor, The New York Times; Former Executive Editor, Forbes Media – Moderator
Arianna Huffington calls Grover Norquist "the dark wizard of the Right's anti-tax cult." Newt Gingrich says Mr. Norquist is "the most innovative, courageous leader of conservative grassroots activism in America." Grover Norquist founded Americans for Tax Reform in 1985 to limit the size and cost of government. ATR organizes the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which asks all candidates for federal and state office to commit themselves in writing to oppose all tax increases. In the 113th Congress, 219 House members and 41 Senators took the pledge.
Mr. Norquist contends that the IRS has abused and bullied the American people and proposes to replace all federal taxes with a single retail sales tax. Bring your questions for this controversial figure, who will present an alternative future where the IRS is radically curtailed.

Miniatures source?
Hi all, I usually post on other forums on GW, but I have a question for crafters. I bought a birdhouse to paint & I am looking for miniatures to add to it: trees, flowers, etc. I couldn't find anything small enough at Michaels; any other sources? (also, not too pricey). TIA
maybe try the dollar stores, saw some bird nest that were small at the dollar tree last week, you could always cut flowers down,pine cones and moss would look nice if doing a country style, cut a small peice of fake pine for a tree, or use a small branch off of something out doors,you can paint them also
just a few ideas, hopefully someone else will have ideas for you.
Happy Crafting!
Big Lots had a bunch of inexpensive scrapbooking supplies. I got a mini Kitty there and some cute flowers that were supposed to be hair pins. Scrapping has mini metal things, but often they are pricey at scrapbook stores. Cheap jewelry from tnrift stores is another source. I look for flowers cuz that's what I want right now, but you see trees birds and seashells on pendants and earrings fairly often. I don't know where you are but its too wintery here for yard sales, but if you nave them look at scrapbooking supplies and jewelry there. I got a little glass tree pin at a stained glass store for $1, they had little flowers and flags and some other stuff too.
good luck, and post a pic for us when you are done!

The ultimate winter warmer? It's as easy as pie
Forget the January health regime – when cold weather sets in, it's time to roll out the pastry, says Enjoli Liston
Enjoli Liston
Enjoli Liston is Deputy World News Editor of The Independent
Friday 06 January 2012
It has spent years out in the cold, but the warm, hearty pie is making a comeback. "Pies are trendy again," says Tristan Hogg, chef and co-founder of the Bristol-based pie company Pieminister. I am sitting in Tristan's cosy kitchen, where he and fellow founder Jon Simon are about to give me a masterclass in the art of pie making.
"There has been a massive resurgence of good British food tied to the renewed popularity of farmers' markets, local produce and artisan foods. Pies are part of that," Tristan says. "Five years ago, the pie market almost completely catered for the over-50s. Now, our customer base is mainly in the 25-40 age range."
Health-conscious eating habits and calorific pastry once combined to help to keep pies off the menu. But with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in June and the Olympics kicking off in London in July, 2012 is the year to showcase the best of British cuisine – including its richest gems.
"Everyone needs hearty, indulgent food sometimes," Tristan says. "Just eat less of it."
Tristan may not realise it as he enthuses about the humble pie, but he is preaching to the converted. As a music festival-goer, pie is the tastiest, warmest, most filling, and best value-for-money meal you can get when standing in a field.
Buying pies is easy, but making them is a completely different matter. First there's the pastry, which seems complex enough without having to do the filling, too. Veteran pie-makers seem to swear by a multitude of tricks, but does making the perfect pie really have to be as complicated and time-consuming as it seems?
Before my master class, I ask pie aficionado Simon "Si" King – otherwise known as one half of cooking duo the Hairy Bikers – for advice. Like the Pieminister lads, who brought out A Pie for All Seasons last year, Si and co-chef Dave Myers have put their pie recipes into a new cookbook, The Hairy Bikers' Perfect Pies, which oozes with passion for pastry parcels.
"There's mystery in a pie," Si laughs. "I love that you don't know what the filling will be unless you've made it yourself. They look fantastic on the outside, but what lies within?"
Si acknowledges that he may not be the best advert for combining pies with a healthy diet ("A pie is not just for winter – I'm this rotund shape because I eat pies all year round") but his regular pie consumption does make him an expert. "Originally, the pastry was secondary to the filling," he says. "The pastry on Cornish pasties just protected the filling when workers took them down in the tin mines. Now, it's not just a vehicle for getting the filling into your gob – pastry is just as important."
Si insists there is no special trick to making exceptional pastry. He and Tristan agree that the secret to success is plenty of practice. "There are a lot of myths about pie making, but the real secret to making good pastry is just practice," Tristan says, emptying packets of pre-made, shop-bought pastry on to a floured surface. That looks a lot like cheating to me.
"I didn't have time to make it myself," Tristan explains. "Most people don't have time to practise, and for some, the worry of making the pastry puts them off making the whole pie. So why not just buy it? Shop-bought pastry is often so good that most people couldn't make it as well if they tried," he says. Perhaps that's the real secret to perfect pastry.
As he rolls out the pastry (to an even 3mm thickness), Tristan explains that we'll be making two kinds of "cannapie" – mini pies that make great lighter lunches or party food. He is using a smoked salmon, dill and crème fraîche mix for the first lot, and a "paddy's pie" (shortcrust pastry with a steak and Guinness filling) for the second.
Tristan and Jon advise me to make sure there's enough pastry left round the sides of the pie base to help to seal the pie properly and squeeze out all the air. That helps to prevent the filling spilling out, which is known as "cook out".
"'Cook out' and 'soggy bottom' are the pie maker's nightmare," Tristan says. He says a common mistake some people make is to try to cook pies with bottom-crusts in terracotta dishes, which "will never cook properly". Pieminister swears by old-fashioned metal and enamel pie dishes to ensure the bottom-crust doesn't go mushy (hence the term "soggy bottom").
So far, pie making hasn't been as complex as I expected. "Pies are much more forgiving than people think," says Tristan, who has just discovered that he has accidentally used puff pastry for the bottom-crust of the fish cannapies, instead of shortcrust. No matter. The "double-puff cannapie", as it is newly christened, emerges from the oven 20 minutes later looking, and tasting, fantastic.
Si stresses the importance of presentation: "A pie should call out to you and say, 'Eat me.'" Sitting on top of chive mashed potato, with a horseradish relish, and a little lemon garnish on top, my cannapie fits that bill.
I am impressed at how quick and simple Tristan makes the whole process look. "Good food just looks good," he shrugs. "Pies are the original ready-meal – they're a convenience food."
Si agrees: "Pies are so versatile. They're a world cuisine. Everybody has their own version of a pie."
Judging from the huge range of recipes in each pie book (Si's favourite pies range from sausage and rabbit slices to tandoori chicken samosas) it seems as though you can chuck anything in a pie and it'll taste good.
Well, almost anything. "When we were researching recipes for the book we went foraging. A lot of the food we found was great, such as alexanders, a kind of wild celery which we use in the recipe for fat hen's hare pie. But one thing we tried and failed with was badger," Tristan says. "It was roadkill," Jon says, with a slight shudder. "We cooked that thing for 10 hours and it still tasted bloody awful."
"We discovered there is a line that you shouldn't cross with foraged food and pie fillings, and badger is it," Tristan says.
Justine's chicken and tarragon pie By Si King and Dave Myers
Serves 5-6
Small knob of butter
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
150ml white wine
1 chicken stock cube
1kg whole cooked chicken (you can buy a ready-roasted one from your butcher or use 550g cooked chicken meat instead)
400ml crème fraîche
2 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoon plain flour
Flaked sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
For the filo topping:
40g butter, melted
4 filo pastry sheets (each about 32cm x 38cm), thawed if frozen
You'll need a 1.5-litre pie dish. Melt the butter with the oil in a large frying pan over a low heat, then add the onion and the crushed garlic. Fry gently for 5-6 minutes until the onion is softened, but not coloured, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the white wine, then crumble the stock cube into the pan and stir well until it dissolves. Simmer over a high heat, stirring constantly, until the liquid has reduced by half and thickened. Remove from the heat.
Take the skin off the chicken, then strip the meat from the bones and tear it into bite-sized pieces. Place these in a large bowl. Add the onion and garlic mixture and spoon the crème fraîche on top. Scatter over the tarragon, sprinkle the flour on top and season with a good pinch of sea salt and plenty of black pepper. Toss everything together until just combined, then spoon into your pie dish. Preheat the oven to 210C/Fan 190C/Gas Mark 6 .
Now for the topping. Brush a sheet of filo pastry with melted butter and cut it into 6. Scrunch up each portion with your hands and place it on top of the filling. Repeat with the remaining sheets of filo until the filling is completely covered.
Bake the pie in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes or until the filo pastry topping is crisp and golden brown and the filling is bubbling beautifully.

This step-by-step article demonstrates how to implement nested Web user controls in an ASP.NET application. The concepts are basically the same as when you create Web user controls to include in an .aspx page or in another Web user control, which is typically referred to as nesting.
One of the main reasons to use nested Web user controls is make it easier to reuse code. By breaking up functionality into separate user controls, your user control development can benefit from reusing the same code and, therefore, the same user control interface, which adds value to your .aspx pages.
RequirementsThe following list outlines the recommended hardware, software, network infrastructure, and service packs that are required:
Create an ASP.NET Web Application by Using Visual C# .NET
Create the User ControlsIn the next two sections, you create an example of a simple Web user control that retrieves and displays a user's name from a cookie. This control will then be nested in another Web user control (MenuCtrl.ascx).
Build the Greeting Control
Build the Menu Control
Add the User Control to a Web FormIn this section, you add the MenuCtrl control that contains the nested GreetingCtrl to a Web Forms page that is named SamplePage.aspx.
TroubleshootingIf you do not specifically declare a user control in the code-behind class file, and if you then try to reference the user control in your code, you may receive a build error that is similar to the following error message:
You must specifically declare user controls when you program against them in the code-behind class file.
The type or namespace name 'User Control Name' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Roger A. Cregg joins the company from PulteGroup.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The ServiceMaster Co. announced the appointment of Roger A. Cregg as senior vice president of finance and CFO, effective August 29. He will report to Hank Mullany, ServiceMaster's CEO.
Cregg joins Memphis-based ServiceMaster from PulteGroup, Inc., the publicly-owned parent company of Pulte Homes, Inc., one of the nation's largest homebuilders.
"Roger brings a wealth of experience in guiding the financial operations of both private and public companies," said Mullany. "His impressive track record at large, growth-oriented companies will be extremely valuable as we continue to establish ServiceMaster as a rapidly growing, best-in-class service provider."
Cregg joined Pulte in 1998 as CFO. While at Pulte, his role expanded as he assumed additional responsibilities for information technology, international operations and mortgage and title operations. He was promoted to executive vice president in 2003 and named public company CFO of the Year by Crain's Detroit Business in 2010.
Prior to joining Pulte, Cregg served as executive vice president and CFO at Zenith Electronics, a publicly held company that was eventually sold to LG Group in 1999. He also spent six years as vice president and CFO of Sweetheart Cup Co., a manufacturer and distributor of specialty containers and paper goods. He worked as a regional vice president at Zellerbach, a global division of paper manufacturer MeadWestvaco Corp.
He currently serves as a member of the board of directors of Comerica Inc., a commercial bank holding company and has served as past chairman and a member of the board of directors of the Detroit branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

|Maybe this is too conspiracy theory, but do you think the formula company maybe paid him to advertise in his office?

|What if the poster was about breastfeeding and someone ripped it down because they think
breastfeeding is gross? Is it okay to steal what we don't like?
|Originally posted by SoHappy
Breastfeeding doesn't violate the World Health Organization's code of ethics. Health care facilities shouldn't be advertising formula. In fact, our county breastfeeding coalition has been asking this hospital to comply for years. As a health care professional herself, she was appalled. The poster has no monetary value and is not irreplaceable. The reps have a trunkful of them.
So, perhaps it was impolite, but I'm quite certain there is a greater good to consider here, and she has my full support.

Correction: In-state Pipeline story
The projected cost remains roughly the same — $7.7 billion, a figure planners acknowledge could vary up or down by 30 percent.
Richard said the AGDC with "optimal" state funding of $400 million by the end of 2014 would refine that figure, conduct an open season to gauge interest by shippers and advance the project to the "sanctioning stage" where a decision is made to move forward with a builder and operator.
Gov. Sean Parnell last week proposed a fraction of that — $25 million for an in-state pipeline and $25 million for a large-diameter line envisioned by his predecessor, Gov. Sarah Palin, under the Alaska Gas Inducement Act.
Under that law, competing projects such as AGDC's cannot exceed 500 million standard cubic feet per day.
House Speaker Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski, and Rep. Mike Hawker, R-Anchorage, have pushed legislation to move the in-state pipeline to a decision point. Chenault said during a break Thursday that he will advocate for more funding than the governor has recommended.
"I would like to see enough to get this project through to sanction," he said. "The longer we drag it out the more likely the cost will go up and we'll just kill it by not addressing needs of the project."
Ultimately, he said, the line size will be determined by the economics. If buyers indicate they want 2 billion cubic feet of gas, and suppliers can provide it, a pipeline of that size will be built. But he also wants numbers for a smaller project.
"Right now it's a lot of talk," Chenault said. "So until we get to a point where we have a project on the table, it's all talk."

It may not be news to parents of teenage girls but researchers confirmed it yesterday: no-one can stop their 16-year-old daughter from deciding how the family spends its money.
The willpower and determination of teenage girls gives them a big say in how a family's spending money goes on everything from food and meals out to mobile phones and, of course, clothes.
Teenage boys do not show up at all in the analysis that tried to trace the influence of young people on household spending.
Children who reach the age of 21 and live at home have less say over the family budget. Parents appear to be more resistant to their bargaining power the older they get – even though they may have a job and be bringing in their share of income.
The findings on the irresistible spending power of teenage girls were calculated from the United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics records of family spending during the 80s and 90s.
Researchers examined how much money went on services and leisure goods in different kinds of homes. They checked spending on food, restaurant meals, alcohol, tobacco, services, leisure, heating, transport, clothes and sports and entertainment equipment in 2,745 British families.
They found: 'Teenage girls in the UK typically play an active role in family decisions about the allocation of household resources. But older children, those over the age of 21, who are still living with their parents, appear to have no say over household decisions.'

Recently, I wrote a cross-browser plugin using Firebreath, and I made one installer for all browsers. I searched in stackoverflow for automatic plugin installation, and find a bunch of good answers,
FireBreath plugin automatic installation
Deploying a Firebreath plugin on a webpage without manual installation
Deployment of NPAPI plugin with minimal user steps
All answers points out that it needs users' interaction to download and install the plugin.
My question is that does plugin upgrade follow the same process of first installation, which let users to download the latest installer and install it manually again? Is there any other options to make the plugin upgrade more automatically (less user interaction)?
I also searched this answer a little bit relevant, but it doesn't tell the way to upgrade a plugin automatically.
firebreath plugin refresh after update
Or I should ask what is the best practice to upgrade firebreath plugin?

National Security:
Interagency Collaboration Practices and Challenges at DOD's Southern and Africa Commands
GAO-10-962T: Published: Jul 28, 2010. Publicly Released: Jul 28, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(404) 679-1816
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Recognizing the limits of military power in today's security environment, the Department of Defense (DOD) is collaborating with other U.S. federal agencies to achieve its missions around the world. DOD's combatant commands, such as U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) and U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), play key roles in this effort. Both aim to build partner nation capacity and perform humanitarian assistance, while standing ready to perform a variety of military operations. Among its missions, SOUTHCOM supports U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the Americas and Caribbean in disrupting illicit trafficking and narco-terrorism. As DOD's newest command, AFRICOM works with U.S. diplomacy and development agencies on activities such as maritime security and pandemic response efforts. Today GAO issued reports that the subcommittee requested on SOUTHCOM (GAO-10-801) and AFRICOM (GAO-10-794), which in part evaluated how each collaborates with U.S. interagency partners. This testimony summarizes that work and provides observations from ongoing work on U.S. counterpiracy efforts by focusing on 3 key areas essential for interagency collaboration.
GAO's work has shown that developing overarching strategies, creating collaborative organizations, and building a workforce that understands how to fully engage partners are key areas where agencies can enhance interagency collaboration on national security issues. GAO found that DOD's SOUTHCOM and AFRICOM have demonstrated some practices that will help enhance and sustain collaboration, but areas for improvement remain. (1) Overarching strategies: SOUTHCOM and AFRICOM have sought input from several federal agencies in creating their theater campaign plans, which outline command priorities, and for other strategies and plans. However, AFRICOM has not completed plans that detail its activities by country and that align with embassy strategic plans to ensure U.S. government unity of effort in Africa. Also, GAO's preliminary work indicates that a U.S. action plan provides a framework for interagency collaboration to counter piracy in the Horn of Africa region, but the plan does not assign agencies their roles or responsibilities for the majority of tasks in the plan. (2) Collaborative organizations: Both commands have organizational structures that encourage interagency involvement in their missions. Each has a military deputy commander to oversee military operations and a civilian deputy to the commander from the State Department to oversee civil-military activities. Both commands also embed interagency officials within their organizations, but limited resources at other federal agencies have prevented interagency personnel from participating at the numbers desired. However, AFRICOM has struggled to fully leverage the expertise of embedded officials. Moreover, while SOUTHCOM's organizational structure was designed to facilitate interagency collaboration, the 2010 Haiti earthquake response revealed weaknesses in this structure that initially hindered its efforts to conduct a large-scale military operation. (3) Well-trained workforce: AFRICOM has emphasized the need to work closely with U.S. embassies to ensure that activities are consistent with U.S. foreign policy and to contribute to a unity of effort among interagency partners. In addition, the command has designated cultural awareness as a core competency for its staff. However, some AFRICOM staff have limited knowledge about working with U.S. embassies and about cultural issues in Africa, which has resulted in some cultural missteps. Further, limited training is available to enhance personnel expertise. While GAO's work on SOUTHCOM did not focus on training, personnel from the command also expressed the need for more opportunities to improve their understanding of working in an interagency environment. GAO made recommendations to the commands aimed at improving their capabilities to perform their missions through the development of plans and training. DOD agreed with the recommendations.

Heroclix TabApp adds DC Comics characters
Recently we discussed the new Heroclix TabApp and, at the time, I had (silently) wondered if Wizkids would doing a DC version as well. It would appear that the question has been answered by Wizkids' announcement that they would indeed be doing a DC version.
The first two 3-packs are a "DC Comics Super Heroes" pack (featuring Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in their The New 52 outfits) and a The Dark Knight Rises pack (featuring Batman, Bane, and Catwoman). The figures themselves (some are visible on the TabApp site) appear to look a bit better than the Marvel series despite sporting the same general cartoony style. However, the look of the figures will likely take a backseat to the actual TabApp gameplay which, last I saw, hasn't had the best reception since fans seem to dislike that the game operates outside the traditional Heroclix rules.
While I haven't seen a price point associated with these latest sets, I would imagine that they'll have the same US$15 seen with the Marvel ones.

This is amazing. I was there and saw kids set fire to it. I was the person that called it in on 911. Then two days later I called the police and they said they ruled out arson as a cause. I said, "Are you serious? I saw someone light it on fire." They still said they ruled out arson. This begins to describe some of the issues in East Palo Alto. If the police and fire officials can't admit this, what will they admit?

I've finished my trial version of Microsoft Office and have now downloaded OpenOffice and want to save the spreadsheet as an Excel file. When I do this I get a message saying it is unlicensed and it won't then let me edit file. I need to share the file with someone using Excel - any ideas??

I think you might be better uninstalling OpenOffice first and then reboot. Download LibreOffice From Here This is a more developed version of OpenOffice.
Choose the customised install and change nothing apart from the one dialog box which asks to associate all files with Office XMLX formats - tick Word/Excel/Powerpoint boxes etc.
Now open LibreOffice and from there the file you want. Post back with any error messages.

Madigan, attorneys general urge Congress to act on immigration reform
Online Staff Report
CHICAGO — Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) was joined by a bipartisan group of 34 other state and territorial attorneys general in urging U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and congressional leaders to pursue comprehensive federal immigration reform.
In a joint letter, the attorneys general stated their support for a law enforcement strategy that focuses on public safety, targets serious crime, safeguards witnesses and victims, and considers national security implications.
"The time is now for immigration reform," Madigan said. "With a more comprehensive, effective system in place, we can help to make our communities safer. It's time for Congress to come together on this most pressing national issue."
Madigan and her counterpart attorneys general called for a reasonable and predictable regulatory environment that considers the interests of, and the unintended consequences to, businesses, workers and consumers. They noted that a broader reform effort should eventually include a way to accurately, reliably and affordably determine who is permitted to work, ensuring an adequate labor force for a growing economy.
"We thank Attorney General Madigan for joining a bi-partisan group of state attorney generals, representing the overwhelming majority of the highest state-level law enforcement officers in the U.S., to push for sensible immigration reform," said Lawrence Benito, CEO of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights.
The attorneys general recognized that immigration policy is primarily a federal responsibility, and pledged to lend their voice and expertise to federal legislators as they move forward in this process.

Model Natalia Vodianova Designs For Lutz & Plamos
Natalia V, The Model/Designer Dark Horse
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
She's a pretty kick ass model. She and her hubbie have reached power couple status. She is the brand ambassador for lingerie and swimwear brand Etam. She's simply glass-lickin' good. Next up for the multitasking model is a guest designer spot for knit house Lutz & Palmos. The electric gang of other guest designers for the brand include Kirsten Dunst and Jane Birkin; it will be interesting to see what the sweet-faced Russian will bring to the pre-Spring lineup.

Sometimes guest designers bring so much into the design house because they have a fresh eye that the brand has been away from for long. I also think since Natalia has been a model, and a really good one, she would know what kind of clothes works. I would love to see what her ideas contribute to the label.

i love that knit tank she is wearing. Does anyone know where I could find it?
