Most Federal archivists work for the National Archives and Records Administration; others manage military archives in the U.S. Department of Defense. Most Federal Government curators work at the Smithsonian Institution, in the military museums of the U.S. Department of Defense, and in archaeological and other museums and historic sites managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior. All State governments have archival or historical record sections employing archivists. State and local governments also have numerous historical museums, parks, libraries, and zoos employing curators.

If you have spent any time at all researching annuities for your retirement, you've likely come across some words that you've never seen before. From enhancements to variable contracts, the information can be a bit dizzying. However, through the use of annuity comparison websites, you can read about the various options to better prepare yourself for the important decision ahead. One term you'll likely come across is a "drawdown", and when you do, you should understand just what is meant when you see it.
Unsecured Pensions
Unsecured pensions are often congruent with drawdowns. When you retire, you can take a lump sum from your capital with no tax penalty. Once this is done, you can leave your money in the fund or explore the purchase of an annuity. Either way, the concept of drawdowns has its upsides and downsides. Understanding the ins and outs may help you make your decision when considering where you'd like to place your retirement nest-egg.
The Benefits of Drawdowns
From the start, you can withdraw money from your account without taking a huge tax hit, so this obviously makes these plans enticing. If you have other sources of income that you can use in your retirement, you can vary the payments to meet your financial needs. When you place your money in an unsecured pension plan, you may experience some gains and the tax-efficiency is generally unrivaled.
The Drawbacks of Drawdowns
When you take the initial sum out of your retirement fund, you are leaving yourself with less capital to achieve gains. In addition to this obvious loss of earning power, there can be quite a bit of volatility involved, so if you aren't willing to gamble a bit, you may want to look for a more structured annuity plan. While some unsecured pensions are guaranteed, there are always caveats involved. This information is easily accessible, should you decide that this route makes sense for you.
Regardless of which avenue you decide to take your retirement down, there will definitely be forks in the road. Conducting a reasonable amount of research should give you all of the confidence you need to make a good choice. The annuity comparison services tend to be free, and can become quite a resource while you are going through the retirement process.
When it comes to annuities, there isn't a lot of wiggle room once you've signed the contract. However, unsecured pensions and drawdowns can at least give you some say in where your money goes. Sure, certain annuities can offer this flexibility, but you'll likely want to look deeper into the issue before deciding to keep the hands-on approach to your retirement. The stability provided is generally what retirees are looking for, and while there can be a lower growth potential, this may not matter for someone with a larger lump sum to invest. At any rate, determining the right path for you hinges on the amount of information you're willing to process for yourself. Consult with these sites and you'll be discussing annuities and unsecured pensions like a professional.

|Christine (Tina) Caulfield, RN is the May 2013 DAISY Award Recipient
Christine (Tina) Caulfield, RN, is the May, 2013 DAISY Award recipient. Chris joined All Children's Hospital in 2004. She is a nurse in the Special Procedures Unit (SPU). The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse who has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
It was a busy Saturday morning. There were several cases scheduled for the OR and one procedure to be done in SPU. We had a post-op patient and a pre-op patient that needed to go to the OR quickly. Tina saw that the PACU staff was very busy, so she called for the procedural patient directly to SPU, did the paperwork necessary for the pre-procedure and then took care of the patient post-procedure until the patient met the criteria to be transferred back to the floor. Thank you, Tina, for being such a great team player and a wonderful nurse.
Tina's supervisor added:
This falls within Tina's character. She is always readily available to assist in any way she can. She does not hesitate to evaluate a situation and offer her assistance.
Thank you Tina, for the compassionate care you provide our patients.

We'd Spend the Apocalypse with 'This Is the End' Star Seth Rogen – The Daily Swoon
Seth Rogen is such an adorable, curly-haired goofball with an infectious laugh and a cuddly demeanor — who wouldn't want to spend the apocalypse curled up on the couch with him?
'This Is the End' hits theaters this Friday, starring Seth Rogen and all his pals — James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Michael Cera, and a ton of celebrity cameos. The good news: it's hilarious from beginning to end. The bad news: In an apocalypse scenario, you likely wouldn't be lucky enough to get shacked up with these guys.
You know Seth Rogen — you, like the rest of us with normal people brains, love Seth Rogen. What's not to love? He's funny, laid back, has that amazing Jewish afro thing going on, and his laugh is killer. Rogen is a total cutie, no doubt about it.
And in addition to being a funny, charming guy, he's also a great writer and director; 'This Is the End' marks Rogen's directorial debut with his writing partner, Evan Goldberg. Make sure to check it out in theaters this weekend, or if you need to brush up on your Rogen knowledge, rent 'Knocked Up,' 'Pineapple Express,' and 'Superbad' now. (You'll thank us later.)

Blog Like It's The End Of The World 2008 (BLITEOTW08)
I've been receiving requests for information on a rerun of BLITEOTW ... there's still two months to go until the day (13 June), so I'm testing an idea I had for registration this year.
I've set up a Frappr map (above) for people to post their location, and the name and URL of their blog. This might help people coordinate their local zombie apocalypses.
If this system seems to be falling down, I'll think of something else at minus one month.
Stay tuned for further news of the end of the world.
- Blog Like It's the End of the World (BLITEOTW) will take place on 13 June. That's local time wherever you are, the whole 24 hours.
- The idea is that your posting for that day is written as if a zombie uprising were taking place - around the world, and in your home town. That's pretty much it: there's no backstory. Forget that you did this last year, and write a fresh story for yourself.
- You blog about how it's affecting you, what you might witness, rumours or news that you hear, and so on.
- Because it's taking place worldwide almost simultaneously, it's a Romero-style zombiegeddon, where all the recently dead rise up, and are able to infect the living.
- If you'd like to participate, add yourself to the Frappr map above, or add a comment below, or here.
- On the day you can check technorati for posts tagged 'zombies' or bliteotw, or links to here to bluemoonrising.com. Oh, that reminds me: tag or label your blog posts 'zombies' or 'bliteotw' so people can find them. You might also try google blog search to find news.
- It's a collaborative event, so the more you comment on other people's posts, link to them from your blog, spread rumours and riff on ideas, the better!

World War what? It's all about getting to know each other (or at least trying to) in this second volume of Hetalia Axis Powers! With the Hetalia Academy, tons of new character introductions, and preparing for the Olympics, there's no time left for the battlefield! But leave it to Italy's ancestor, "that jerk" England, and pushy America to stir things up while good old Canada, quiet Japan, and sweet little Liechtenstein respectfully go about their day. Isn't it about time they all started getting along?

GENERIC NAME: escitalopram
BRAND NAME: Lexapro
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Escitalopram is an oral drug that is used for treating depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Chemically, escitalopram is similar to citalopram (Celexa). Both are in a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a class that also includes fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft). SSRIs work by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain, the chemical messengers that nerves use to communicate with one another. Neurotransmitters are made and released by nerves and then travel to other nearby nerves where they attach to receptors on the nerves. Not all of the neurotransmitter that is released binds to receptors and, instead, is taken up by the nerves that produced them. This is referred to as "reuptake." Many experts believe that an imbalance of neurotransmitters is the cause of depression. Escitalopram prevents the reuptake of one neurotransmitter, serotonin, an action which results in more serotonin in the brain to attach to receptors. The FDA approved escitalopram in August 2002.

Mountlake Terrace hoops hungry for more after trip to state
Last year's trip to the Tacoma Dome only whet the appetite of the Mountlake Terrace boys basketball team
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Mountlake Terrace guard Marquis Armstead goes up for a dunk during a contest Tuesday night.� Guard Marquis Armstead rises for a dunk during Tuesday night's "Jam Session" at Mountlake Terrace High School. Armstead was a first-team All-Wesco 3A guard last season.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Terrace junior post Loren Lacasse (left) is one of the players the Hawks are counting on to help fill the void left by the graduations of Ryan Shannon and Colby Russell.
Getting back to the Tacoma Dome is priority No. 1 this season.
"We know where we want to be," senior guard Jesse Zerom said. "We've been there. We know what it takes. (We) just have to go 10 times harder than we did last year. It's like an expectation now."
Terrace, which finished 23-3 last season, is trying to get back to the state tournament despite losing two big pieces from last year's team, including All-Area post Ryan Shannon. Shannon, who now plays for Montana State, averaged 10.5 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. Coby Russell, another big post presence, also graduated.
"I just don't think you replace guys like that or fill those spots," Terrace head coach Nalin Sood said. "Those guys make us coaches look a lot smarter than we are. When you have two guys that take up interior position like that, it's hard to fill."
Instead of lamenting what's gone, the Hawks are focused on what they have, and how they can use it to succeed.
Marquis Armstead, an All-Wesco 3A first-team guard, returns, along with Zerom and Blake Fernandez, a second-team all-league selection who is one of Mountlake Terrace's most explosive players.
Unfortunately for the Hawks, Fernandez broke his wrist during a fall-league game and is out until at least mid-December.
"If anybody wants to know what to get me for Christmas, give me a healthy Blake Fernandez," Sood said. "... We're obviously going to be a better basketball team when Blake comes back. We've got to hold the fort down until he gets back, which is going to be difficult."
As far as the post goes, Sood and the Hawks hope juniors Greg Bowman and Loren Lacasse can help negate what was lost with the departures of Shannon and Russell.
"Everybody's stepping up and filling their roles," said Bowman, who at 6-foot-7 is one of the Hawks' tallest players.
"This offseason we were focusing on getting Loren and Greg to become our Ryan and Coby," said Fernandez, who practices with the team with his wrist in a cast. "As the season progresses, I think we'll end up getting them to be the impact players that Coby and Ryan were last year."
Bowman said the team is proud of what it accomplished last year, but can't get caught living in the past. He wants this year's Hawks to create their own identity.
"We had a good year last year, and we want to try and build off that," Bowman said. "But we've got to make a name for ourselves this year. We can't say, 'Oh we had a good year last year.' We've got to do what we can do this year."
The Hawks will face stiff competition in the competitive Wesco 3A South. Shorewood returns senior post Josh Hawkinson, a Washington State University signee, and Glacier Peak, led by All-Area post Zach Pederson, is seeking its fourth straight state berth.
"I'll tell you one thing, in the Wesco South nothing's automatic with Glacier Peak and Shorewood," Sood said. "There are some good programs."
Mountlake Terrace also faces a strong non-conference schedule, with games against several local 4A schools, as well as Lincoln -- a tough Narrows League team -- and Fairfax, a California squad Sood says is a "perennial West Coast power."
"Coach said he wanted to get us the toughest schedule, so we're going to have his back on that one and try to get the 'W's,'" Armstead said.
The hope is that the challenging schedule will have Mountlake Terrace battle tested in time for league play, the playoffs and, perhaps, the state tournament. The Hawks want to get back and win a game in the dome after going 0-2 and 0-1 in Tacoma the past two seasons.
"Last year we kind of disappointed a couple fans," Fernandez said. "Everyone thought that we should have done a lot better than we did. We kind of want to go back as redemption, prove to people that you don't want to mess around with Terrace."
Last year's state experience should help the Hawks this season.
"Last year when we went (to Tacoma), I think nobody was used to that kind of atmosphere, with all those lights and all those people," Fernandez said. "That experience is what's going to get us past those big games."
Regardless of how far they advance, the Hawks won't be alone. They have a large group of fans who travel with the team. Many of them came to Tuesday night's "Jam Session," where Mountlake Terrace unveiled its boys and girls teams to the community.
"They have a group called the 'Rowdy Rooters' and they've already started having meetings and planning things for this season," Armstead said. "So, it's good to see. They take it pretty seriously.
"It sends chills down my back thinking about it right now. It's the greatest feeling knowing that we've got the whole school behind us. And we don't want to let them down."

Sights and Sounds
It's been a busy summer at Mass. Eye and Ear! Our clinicians have been caring for patients near and far, and our researchers have been working toward finding better treatments and cures for them. We've also been hard at work on our new location, Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Longwood. We look forward to bringing our quality specialty care to the Longwood area later this fall. Read on for more news from our patients, our research labs and more.
Life is good for 63-year-old retiree Judy Poindexter. She travels around the country in her motor home, rides her Harley-Davidson motorcycle and manages her rental properties. Fortunately one thing Judy is able to talk about in the past tense is her diagnosis of eye cancer. And that's thanks to a treatment developed at Mass. Eye and Ear.
Nearly two decades ago, Judy went to her ophthalmologist in South Carolina for a routine eye exam. "He noticed a 'freckle' in my left eye and he decided to send me to a retina specialist for follow up," says Judy. The retina specialist observed the freckle in Judy's eye for six months. He then gave her a frightening diagnosis: ocular melanoma. He referred her to Mass. Eye and Ear for care.
Ocular melanoma is a rare type of cancer that develops in the uvea, one of the parts of the back of the eye. In its early stages, an ocular melanoma may not cause any symptoms at all. Many melanomas can be detected during a routine ophthalmic examination. Like any cancer, ocular melanoma is life-threatening. This kind of cancer can metastasize (or spread) to the liver.
Judy arrived at Mass. Eye and Ear during the summer of 1992. That's when she entered the care of retina specialist Dr. Evangelos Gragoudas. A leader in his field in both clinical care and research, Dr. Gragoudas developed the therapy that he would use to treat Judy's eye cancer: proton beam radiation. Dr. Gragoudas spent a large part of his career researching and developing proton beam therapy as a treatment for eye cancers. "We treated our first patient with proton beam radiation in 1975. Though it was used for the treatment of brain vascular tumors at the time, it had not been used to treat eye cancers," explains Dr. Gragoudas. He has treated more than 3,000 patients with proton beam radiation.
"The benefit of proton beam therapy is that you can deliver the treatment with sub-millimeter precision; you're delivering radiation more precisely to the tumor so that it doesn't damage surrounding tissues," explains Dr. Gragoudas. "The rates of recurrence are lower and visual acuity is better after proton beam treatment than treatment with plaque radiation," he says.
Judy has been cancer-free for 19 years. She now travels from South Carolina to Boston every year for follow up at Mass. Eye and Ear. On her follow up visits, she often meets other patients who have been diagnosed with ocular melanoma. "I enjoy meeting newly diagnosed patients and I believe I give them hope," says Judy. "There is a long future for them with the good care they will get at Mass. Eye and Ear."
We've been working hard all summer on construction at our new location, Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Longwood. We're looking forward to offering more access to our specialty care to patients who need it. Visit our website to stay up to date on the progress at Mass. Eye and Ear, Longwood, scheduled to open this fall. In addition, we're now able to provide better care to those diagnosed with diabetes-related eye disease, thanks to our new collaboration with Joslin Diabetes Center in the Longwood Medical Area. Read more about our partnership with Joslin Diabetes Center.
Today and every day, we're moving closer to better treatments and cures. Now, a groundbreaking study conducted at Mass. Eye and Ear has identified a potential target for developing treatment for vision loss in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a potentially blinding disease which affects more than 1 million people around the world. It's our latest step toward wiping out vision loss from blinding diseases. Read more about this exciting discovery.

Play Platoon, there is a FAQ up for it already, but this strategy is way better.
It's the 20 strategy, and here's how it works (generally)
Step 1) Pair your wizards with any bishops, or your lowest numbered cards. Keep your bishops and kings solo if you have no wizards.
Step 2) Combine any 10s you have in 2's to make 20, or if not enough 10s use 9s and 8s to make 19 or 18, but try for 20 if at all possible.
Step 3) combine any 3 cards to make as close to 20 as possible.
Step 4) If you have leftover cards, use them to make a "spoiler" deck on the left.
Step 5) Pick your two card twenty deck to win.
Step 6) If opponent picks one of yours to win, try to avoid using it.
Step 7) Here's the secret to winning at Platoon. The opponent will have any Kings/Bishops/Wizards on the left side guaranteed! If she uses her 2nd card to fight you, and it is made up of number cards, then every card to the right of it will just be numbered cards! To start your turn, use your 2 card twenty deck against their farthest left 2 card deck, and it will be a guaranteed victory. If they have a 3, 4, or 5 card deck towards the right side, use your king or wizard/bishop combo to beat it. If the opponent ruined your plans by starting first and beating one of your twenty decks with a king or something, use the spoiler card to face one of their far left decks, which may be a bishop or king/wizard combo.
Using this strategy, I won the cap amount of chips in just under two hours. You will win between 500,000 and 1.5 million chips per game if you manage to have your pick win and hers lose most of the time.
Sorry if it's a bit confusing, but I'll answer any questions people have. I have tested this theory about a hundred times and it still holds up so good luck!
I've had kings and bishops both on the right side.....
We've been over this..... yes you can makes lots of chips for only 200.
But sometimes you are going to be dealt a crap hand, in which case you are most likely going to lose. Luck plays a role more than anything.
I am going to try this out though. Even though I have way more chips than I'll ever need. I hope it helps others.
My main problem is she always picks one of my strong cards as a win, and even I try and not use it she suicides one of her low cards against it 90% of the time. Pretty much kills any big jackpot I was going for.
I take offense to this thread >_>
I will most likely be able to brute-buy anything from the casino but this is interesting enough for me to want to try it.

I take offense to this thread >_>
lol, this is just the way I found the most success. I'm sure your way works as well, but I wanted to post my findings in case people want to try multiple ways.
I was going to put this as a FAQ, but once I started writing it I realized how hard it was and gave up, so if people do find it helpful and if it works for people other than myself, then feel free to use it in your FAQ if you want as an alternate way to win.
And in step 7, it's supposed to be your 2 card twenty deck against the farthest RIGHT two card deck, which will almost never have a king/bishop/wizard and will never be a 20. I've only seen a 19 once as well, so 19's should work too.
Ain't gonna lie, just tried this.
Works. Easiest 80k I made in the casino.
Wow, ok, after testing it, you're right! The computer always puts number cards on the right and face cards on the left. That's amazing, good catch. I did not know that... Otherwise your strategy is pretty identical to mine.
Mind if I update my faq to include this? You'll get credit, of course.

August 28, 2013
After several tough financial years, many state governments report that 2013 is turning out a little better than expected, but the forecasts for the years ahead are bleaker.
That includes the outlook for West Virginia.
A new report from the National Conference of State Legislatures shows that overall state revenues are up about 5.3 percent for 2013, helped by taxpayers who accelerated payments on their capital gains because of increases in the fiscal cliff legislation. Some states also implemented tax increases, such as higher gas taxes or changes to collect sales tax on online sales.
But the economic recovery continues to be slow, and many states worry that rising Medicaid costs and other expenses will outpace revenue growth next year, the NCSL survey shows.
In West Virginia, Department of Revenue Secretary Bob Kiss has instructed all state agencies to prepare two budgets — one in line with their current spending and another with a 7.5 percent reduction.
The cuts are not definite, but Kiss wants agencies to be prepared to reduce spending if necessary. Some officials feel the 7.5 percent reduction, similar to last year's cuts, is all but inevitable.
As with other states, rising Medicaid costs — unrelated to the expansion planned under the federal Affordable Care Act — are a big factor. …
A few areas would likely be exempt from cuts, including the school aid funding formula, funding for correctional units, the veteran's nursing home fund and debt service. Unfortunately, higher education is not on that list.
As readers know, Marshall University struggled to deal with a $5 million cut in state funding this year, and further cuts would likely mean more tuition and fee increases passed along to students and their families. For a state that needs to increase the education of its population and work force, making it more difficult to finish school certainly seems shortsighted.
There are a lot of tough decisions ahead, but we urge state leaders and educators to work hard to keep higher education affordable.

This is an excerpt from my new book, Organizational Psychology for Managers
When there�s a problem, perhaps a critical deadline was missed or you lost an important client, what could be more fair and just than finding and punishing the person responsible? Surely fixing blame is the best way to make sure such problems don�t happen again! Blame is, after all, a natural response when something goes wrong. It�s what we do in our larger societal culture: after all, if you get a speeding ticket, it�s clearly your fault, right? You did something wrong. You were to blame for going too fast. Or maybe the real blame lies with the unfairly and ridiculously low speed limit, or the cop who just happened to pick you even though other people were obviously going much faster. In any case, though, you�ve learned an important lesson: pay more attention to whether there�s a police car on the road and maybe invest in a good radar detector. What about the speeding? Well, that behavior may change for a short time, but rarely does the occasional ticket produce permanent, lasting change.
This is the problem with blame: it may fix responsibility, but it does not fix the problem. While it can be very satisfying to identify the perpetrator of the disaster that lost the sale or crashed the server, actually solving the problem that led to the lost sale or crashed server is considerably more useful. This requires returning to the concepts we introduced in chapter one, looking at the organization as a system, and understanding how the system is failing. Failure is feedback. If you listen to that feedback and learn to understand what it is telling you, you will identify a weak point in your organizational systems.
At Koloth (once again, the names have been changed), an internet startup, website malfunctions were a regular event. Each time a problem occurred, the person responsible for making the mistake was identified and punished. The problems didn�t go away. Even firing repeat offenders failed to stop the website problems.
What was really going on? Upon investigation, it turned out that several factors were contributing to the problem. First, the company had a very aggressive, eight week development cycle. The aggressiveness of the cycle meant that serious design decisions were constantly put off in favor of short-term, �temporary,� solutions.
Next, the database engineers were chronically overworked, so developers were instructed to not bother them unless it was really important. As a result, developers would roll their own database code, usually copying it from somewhere else. This created numerous subtle problems which the database engineers had to spend their time tracking down, further reducing their availability.
Finally, a particular senior engineering manager was infamous for his last minute demands on his team. It was not unusual for him to walk into someone�s office as they were leaving for lunch, or at 7pm as they were getting ready to go home, and announce that �this component must be completed right now!� When the component failed or was not completed on time, said manager was quick to blame the team member to whom he�d assigned it. Of course, obvious a problem as this may be, it didn�t come out until we investigated to see why there were so many failures. Once we got past the blame, and saw the outlines of the system it became possible to address the actual problems and change the outcome. Along the way, it turned out that the manager in question was secretly running a web-design business out of his office at Koloth: his clever use of blame prevented anyone from noticing for quite some time.
Now, one might argue that Koloth involved actual dishonesty, and that blame is an effective tool when dishonesty is not present. Unfortunately, when people are given an incentive to be dishonest, dishonesty emerges: this is our self-fulfilling prophecy at work. At Double Coil Systems, a bioinformatics company, when someone was found responsible for costing the company a major client, that person was disciplined or fired outright. As shocking as this may sound, it wasn�t long before no one was ever responsible for anything. Each person involved in any problem had some explanation for why it wasn�t their fault. The problem was always due to some other event. When someone did end up taking the blame, it was usually some hapless member of the IT staff. Apparently, the most junior member of the IT department at Double Coil ran the whole business and had complete control of every laptop at all times. Employees at Double Coil had mastered the art of CYA, and so the actual problems were never addressed. Even worse, when employees did notice a problem, they concealed the information lest they be blamed for it (particularly if they had made the mistake!).
The difference between Double Coil and a world class organization is that at the latter they take the time to understand all the components of why they are losing sales, identify the real bottlenecks, and fix them. Blame isn�t the goal; solving the problem is the goal.
In the end, affixing blame only encourages people to conceal problems or pass the buck. No one wants to be the one to take the hit, so they try to avoid it altogether. When the problem finally does come out, it�s far bigger and much uglier than it would have been had it been addressed early. Even worse, your employees are going to be too busy trying to dodge the blame to really concentrate on fixing things.
If you actually want to solve your problems, focus on the organizational system and understand how it may be inadvertently contributing to the problems you are observing.

These boots are absolutely fantastic! I've been meaning to do a post comparing these to their uber-trendy contemporary: the Jeffrey Campbell Brits. The JCs don't stand a chance. The quality is unparalleled, not to mention the comfort and style. With almost no breaking in time, these Engineer have quickly become my favorite fall/winter boot. I've work them with dresses as well as with denim shorts and skinny jeans. They pretty much work with all look and a marvelous alternative to standard casual footwear.

- Android users (4.0 or older) will see a screen providing an option to install the Google Authenticator app.
- If you prefer to receive codes via SMS instead of using the Google Authenticator app, click on the link at the bottom of the screen that says "You can receive codes by text message (SMS) or voice instead" and follow the instructions to complete the setup.
- If you would like to use Google Authenticator, click "Send me the app" to install the app on your phone and follow the instructions on your screen to complete the setup process.
- Verify that the time on your Android device is correct.
- You're done! Next time you sign in, you'll be prompted to enter a code that you'll get from the Authenticator app.

Dashboards provide a way to display any kind of data through widgets at different levels:
- Global dashboard: to display information at Sonar instance level (available since Sonar 3.1).
- Project dashboard: to display information at project level.
Concepts and mechanisms describe below apply for both global and project dashboards.
Creating Dashboard
Logged users can create as many dashboards as they need.
Click on Manage dashboards and fill the form to create a new dashboard:
The newly created dashboard will appear immediately in the left navigation bar and and can be customised by adding widgets.
When administrators create a dashboard, they have the ability to share it. This means that this dashboard can be followed by authenticated users and can also be used as a default dashboard. This is done by ticking Shared:
Customizing Dashboard
The content of a dashboard can be fully customized.
Changing Layout
To change the layout of a dashboard (e.g. three columns instead of two), click on Configure widgets and then pick a layout on the right hand side:
Adding a Widget
To add a widget, click on Configure widgets. The list of available widgets is shown at the top of the page. Click on Add widget to add the desired widget:
Moving a Widget
To move a widget within a dashboard, click on Configure widgets, then drag & drop the widget.
Removing a Widget
To remove a widget, click on Configure widgets and then click on Delete:
Managing Dashboards
Click on Manage dashboards to manage available dashboards:
From there you can:
- Follow / Unfollow a shared dashboard
- Change the order of the dashboards in the left navigation bar
- Delete a dashboard
- Configure widgets
Managing Default Dashboards
An administrator can customise the list and the content of the default dashboards. The default dashboards are the ones presented to unauthenticated users as well as authenticated users that have not done any customization. This is done by logging in, go to Configuration > Default dashboards and then select default dashboards to display and their order,
Project Dashboards
Project dashboards are the entry point when looking at a project. They display an overview of the project data: measures, violations, reviews, etc.
Dashboard: Default Project Dashboard Shipped with Sonar
This default dashboard gives an overview of your projects (with widgets like Size, etc.) and its quality (with widgets like Violations, Comments & Duplications, etc.).
From there, you will able to hunt for the 7 quality flows below:
- Duplications
- Bad distribution of complexity
- Spaghetti design
- Lack of unit tests
- No coding standards
- Potential bugs
- Not enough or too many comments
See Duplications for detailed explanation on this quality flow.
Bad distribution of complexity
Spaghetti design
Lack of unit tests
No coding standards and Potential bugs
Not enough or too many comments
Clicking on any measure opens the Measures Drilldown, zooming on the chosen measure.
All the widget above are compatible with differential views to help you focus on quality flows on new code.
Many other widgets are available out of the box, just give them a try. Even more are available through plugins.
The Events widget is used to highlight events occurring during the lifetime of the project. There are two kinds of events:
- Manual: it is possible to add manual events. See Managing Events for more details.
- Automated: a mechanism exists in Sonar to pick automatically events and record them. This is the case for version events (picked when the version changes in the pom.xml) and for alert events that are triggered when a threshold has been reached.
The Treemap is a generic component that adapts depending on the structure of the project: modules, packages and files.
It shows the components that are at the top level, regardless of the type. It is then possible to drill down into any component to get a view on the component.
Three actions are available in the treemap:
- Click on a component name to access the component dashboard
- Left click on a box to zoom in a component
- Right click on a box to zoom out of a component
Other Project Dashboards Shipped with Sonar
Measures Drilldown
Wherever in a project, it is always possible to access the Measures Drilldown by clicking on a measure:
The component structure is displayed: hierarchy is represented from left (higher) to right (lower).
Components are sorted in a descending way, worst measure for the metric first.
An optimisation mechanism is in place whereby Sonar does not display components with best value for the metric.
By clicking on a file, you will access the Resource Viewer.
Violations Drilldown
Wherever in a project, it is always possible to access the Violations Drilldown through the left menu:
The component structure is displayed: hierarchy is represented from left (higher) to right (lower).
Components are sorted in a descending way, the one with the most violations first.
An optimisation mechanism is in place whereby Sonar does not display components with no violations.
The Violations drilldown is compatible with the differential views mechanism.
By clicking on a file, you will access the Resource Viewer.
Wherever in a project, it is always possible to access the Clouds through the left menu:
On the Top risk tab, the size represents the average complexy by method in the file.
On the Quick wins tab: the size represents the lines of code in the file.
Regarding the color, blue indicates good quality according to Coverage or Rules compliance (depending the selected value in the drop down list), red indicates bad quality.
By clicking on a file, you will access the Resource Viewer.
Wherever in a project, it is always possible to access the Components dashboard through the left menu.
From there you can access the dashboard of a specific component. You will get the same information as for the project but in the scope of the sub-component.
Global Dashboards
Global dashboards are available at instance level and can be accessed through the menu on the left.
Any widget can be added to a global dashboard. Thus, any kinds of information from a project or from the Sonar instance can be displayed at will.
Global Dashboards Shipped with Sonar
By default, Sonar is shipped with three global dashboards:
My favourites
This dashboard includes one filter that lists all the resources that have been flagged as favourite by the logged user. See this tutorial to know how to flag a resource as favourite:
This dashboard includes one filter that lists all the projects of the Sonar instance:
This dashboard includes one filter that displays all the projects of the Sonar instance as a Treemap (size = number of lines, color = rules compliance):

text: I hope we can somehow manage to get 2 1st again!!! If not I really want us to get carter-williams from syracuse. This dude is a beast and a floor general!! He is 6'6 but not bulky and runs the point so smooth. My goodness I would drool if we could get this kid with a top 10 pick along with OUR top 1-5 pick. A draft of mclemore/carter williams would be a dream come true!!! Let these 2 young guys come in and start right away at the 1 and 2 guard spots. I know we can get a 1st (from a bad team)and some complimentary players for eg/vasquez/aminu. Hell I am ok with keeping vasquez to come off the bench to run the point if not traded. I think we can a better haul right now tho with him included. My other dream scenario is len/carter williams!!! lol...Man I am telling you right now with either of these combinations to go with AD and rivers we are set with our cap room. Dell should be able to do his thing in the offseason so not too worried about that part. Minus all the blabberin. All I am saying is CARTER WILLIAMS is a must get for us!!!! This is our future at the pg position!!! An all-star caliber type pg with ridiculous length who hustles his azz off on both ends of the floor. Make it happen Demps!!!!!

A people's vote on firearms
The public safety proposal was -- past tense underlined -- an elementary attempt to require criminal background checks for gun purchases. Repeat: Weeding out felons who troll gun shows to cop firearms. But cry "gun," and let loose the dogs of the National Rifle Association. (Infuriating because nothing could be more law and order than enforcing law and order.)
Rep. Mike Hope, a Lake Stevens Republican and Seattle police officer, was HB 1588's sponsor. Hope exhibited backbone and judgment, and never yielded to the NRA's propaganda fusillade. He also never caved to internal pressure from his Republican caucus, embracing principle over party.
Last month Hope said. "I want to know that I did my best to make it legally impossible for a dangerous felon to purchase a gun. I am reasonable, so I understand that this won't stop every criminal from obtaining a gun. But with this legislation I know, as a lawmaker I have done my best within my abilities and that is my job."
Someone needs to calligraphy those words and frame it. Washington lawmakers shirked their duty by punting on HB 1588. Did legislators do their best to make it legally impossible for a dangerous felon to purchase a gun? No.
Gun buyers who purchase a weapon from a federally licensed firearms dealer currently undergo a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Under Hope's bill, that would have been enlarged to cover private gun transactions including those at gun shows.
As The Herald's Jerry Cornfield reports, exemptions would be provided for people with proper law enforcement credentials or a valid concealed pistol license. And anyone with a penchant for Civil War and other antique firearms would be exempt.
The opposition's reasoning centers on disproving a negative or demanding more time. Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Clinton, said, "I want to take a step back and take a really thoughtful approach." An elementary attempt to require criminal background checks for gun purchases is a thoughtful approach. Is more required? Yes. That is why the NRA is laboring to sandbag the sensible, fearing a slippery slope of restrictions. The NRA's interest and the public interest are mutually exclusive.
Many legislators, like the NRA, are dramatically out of touch with the electorate. Since the Newtown massacre, there has been a sea change on gun violence. HB 1588 should be recast as an initiative. Let the people decide.
