Most childcare centers that I know of require children to be potty trained in order to be in the preschool classroom. Also, most schools that I have visited have no exceptions to the rule unless it's a SN child.
I've also seen 3 year old children held back in the 2 year old class until they are fully potty trained. That includes, peeing, pooping, going completely on your own, and wiping themselves.
While I had no problem potty training DD at 2, I realize that other parents may have problems potty training and some feel their children aren't ready to be potty trained.
Do you think it's right to make children be potty trained by a certain age? Is it fair to hold them back until they are potty trained? Where do you think schools got the idea that 3 is the age all children should be fully potty trained?

GAA Gaelic Football :: Gaelic Football can be described as a mixture of soccer and rugby, although it predates both of those games. It is a field game which has developed as a distinct game similar to the progression of Australian Rules. Indeed it is thought that Australian Rules evolved from Gaelic Football through the many thousands who were either deported or emigrated to Australia from the middle of the nineteenth century. Gaelic Football is played on a pitch approximately 137m long and 82m wide. The goalposts are the same shape as on a rugby pitch, with the crossbar lower than a rugby one and slightly higher than a soccer one.

Are Unpaid Internships Coming to an End?
by Anthony Caruso on August 23, 2013
In what has raised more questions about the legality of unpaid internships, a lawsuit was recently filed against Sean "Diddy" Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment company by a former unpaid intern demanding compensation for her work.
Former intern Rashida Salaam worked for the music label between January and May 2012, and included menial tasks of answering phones, making deliveries, decorating the office for parties, and grabbing coffee and lunch for workers as her responsibilities. She was also reportedly required to wrap holiday presents for Sean Combs' children. However, in light of recent lawsuits that have sided with unpaid interns seeking compensation for their work, many analysts are wondering if we may be seeing the end of unpaid internships altogether.

WP MVC is a full-fledged MVC framework, similar to CakePHP and Rails, that developers can use inside of WordPress.
WP MVC is a full-fledged MVC framework, but behind the scenes it uses existing WordPress functionality to lessen its footprint and better interface with the parent WordPress application. The developer will not need to know about much of this, though, and may merely treat it as another MVC framework. It draws on concepts and workflows from other MVC frameworks; Rails and CakePHP are the biggest influences, and you may see some of their naming conventions being used.
If there's functionality that you'd like to use that isn't implemented in the example plugins or mentioned on wpmvc.org, it may not exist yet. However, if it's something that is widely useful, I'd certainly be willing to implement it myself or to accept any well-written code that implements it. Please feel free to either add a topic in the WordPress forum or contact me through GitHub for any such requests:


text: Merge has reopened; Costner benefit Monday Tweet on Saturday, January 23, 2010 3:21 PM, updated: January 23, 2010 at 3:21 pm ADVERTISEMENT On Monday night, friends of Ricky Costner Jr. are throwing a party in memory of the Merge sous chef, killed last week by a co-worker. At 6 p.m. at the Towne Ballroom, 681 Main St., it'll be a night of "raising money, raising awareness, and raising the roof in Little Ricky's honor." A $15 donation is suggested. There will be music and free food, but a cash bar, a silent auction and a dart gift board. Merge's Sarah Schneider said the restaurant reopened Thursday, returning to its regular hours, with one exception: this Monday night, for the benefit.

heh funny lil thing, after waiting for 6 days for my PSD template to be approved I got a soft reject stating it needs a documentation (and i did have a txt file with credits etc.)
Want to know about PSD documentation a bit what it should be in there?
We usually put some general information, like which Photoshop version was used, which files are included, fonts used, a sentence or two about the PSD structure and credits (sometimes we include links where user can buy images). That's about it..
Seems a bit redundant since most of this stuff is on description page.
Yes it is… But we heard a lot of times that files get rejected because of documentation so we don't want to take the risk of waiting another week on approval ...

How to Communicate "Green�
Reorienting Climate Change Communication for Effective Mitigation - Forcing People to be Green or Fostering Grass-Roots Engagement?
Tuesday, July 22nd
10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Carlson School, 1-114
University of Minnesota
Free and open to all University affiliates and our community.
Can you make people be green? What would it actually take to shift public attitude further towards sustainable behaviors?
Dr. Ockwell, University of Sussex in the United Kingdom, will present his work on public attitudes towards "being green�. The United Kingdoms has launched major campaigns to shift public attitude towards more sustainable behaviors. The country has also implemented regulatory policy, such as congestion charges imposed on those driving into London, some of which have been hugely unpopular. Dr. Ockwell will discuss his research on what they have found to be effective or counterproductive, and how that could inform decision making here. Abstract and bio thus follow:
The UK government expends significant resources on communication campaigns aimed at encouraging shifts towards low carbon lifestyles, but research suggests that encouraging attitudinal change alone is unlikely to be effective. The link between an individual's attitudes (which communications campaigns are attempting to influence) and subsequent behavior is mediated by other influences, such as social norms and the 'free rider' effect. We have found there are many barriers - including psychological, informational, social and structural - to public engagement with climate change. One way to engage the public in climate change mitigation would be to introduce regulation that forces green behavior - but government fears a resulting loss of precious political capital citing incidents like the fuel protests in 2000, and anti-road pricing petitions. On the other hand, communication campaigns that advocate individual, voluntary action ignore the social and structural impediments to behavior change. We argue that there are two crucial, but distinct, roles that communication could play in engaging the public: firstly, to facilitate public acceptance of regulation; and secondly, to stimulate grass-roots action through emotional and rational engagement with climate change. By drawing on the latest climate change communication research, we explore whether these 'top-down' versus 'bottom-up' perspectives on societal engagement in mitigation efforts can be reconciled. We argue for a middle way for communication that recognizes two crucial, but distinct, roles that communication could play in engaging the public in low carbon lifestyles: firstly, to facilitate public acceptance of regulation; and secondly, to stimulate grass-roots action through emotional and rational engagement with climate change.
Dr. David Ockwell has a background that is strongly interdisciplinary having trained, worked and published across both the social and natural sciences. Dr. Ockwell has worked in both the private sector and academia providing environmental policy advice to a large number of public, private and not-for-profit organizations and has managed and participated in a diverse range of research projects in Southeast Asia, East Africa, Australia and Europe.
His research focuses on transitions to a low carbon economy. Current work includes managing a UK-India collaborative study on low carbon technology transfer to developing countries funded by Defra and the Government of India and ESRC/NERC funded work on discourse analysis of public perceptions of climate change.

Any Bowflex users out there?
I'd like opinions/experiences from any of you who use or have used a Bowflex. My husband ordered one and initially I was not thrilled because the last thing we need right now is another monthly payment, but now I'm getting kind of excited about it. :D It's supposed to arrive sometime this week.
3neighs, I'm sooooo jealous! I've wanted a bowflex for years, but the cost has always deterred me :-( . When my daughter graduates from college (and we're done paying), I plan on getting one. For now I use the Total Gym (yup, the one Chuck Norris promotes), but it is no bowflex!
Let me know how you like it after using it for a few weeks!
Oh, I will! I'm not the weight training type (I prefer walking, biking and yoga), but we'll see...:D My husband has been wanting one for years and he went with their most basic model so it doesn't have as many "bells and whistles" as the rest.

'Ana' Is Not My Friend
Many of us with eating disorders, like to personify the illness as a separate person or voice. 'Ana' for Anorexia and 'Mia' for Bulimia. Don't get me wrong; Ana is definitely not a 'friend' even though the internal voice I hear says otherwise. Personifying my eating disorder is definitely something that I found rather useful in my road to recovery.

Disclosed is a laser, to be referred to as a "Z-laser", which comprises means that can ensure excitation of a laser mode that has a far field pattern that comes substantially to a focus at a point external to the laser. Typically, a Z-laser is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) that comprises an appropriately patterned top surface. Exemplarily, appropriately spaced circular concentric features ("trenches") are formed in the surface. Lasers according to the invention can be advantageously used in variety of applications, e.g., as pump lasers in an optically amplified optical fiber communication system.
1. An article comprising a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, the laser comprising a semiconductor layer structure that comprises first and second reflectors that define a laser cavity, and further comprises an active region between, and parallel with, said first and second reflectors, the laser further comprising contact means that facilitate flowing an electric current through the layer structure such that the laser has a radiation output; wherein the laser comprises substantially circular, concentric spaced apart features selected to provide
i) localized variations in a reflectivity of at least one of said reflectors; or
ii) localized variations in a gain/loss of the laser; or
iii) localized variations in both the reflectivity of at least one of said reflectors and localized variations in the gain/loss of the laser;
wherein the spacing between said localized variations is not constant in a radial direction, and said localized variations are effective for causing the laser to laser in a higher order transverse mode such that said radiation output of the laser comes substantially to a focus at a point that is spaced from the laser, without passage through focusing means that are spaced from said laser cavity and from said reflectors that define the laser cavity.
2. An article according to claim 1, wherein each of said first and second reflection means comprises a multiplicity of semiconductor layers, wherein said layer structure is disposed on a semiconductor substrate and has a surface that is substantially parallel with said semiconductor layers and is spaced from the substrate, said surface comprising said substantially circular features, said features providing said localized variations in the reflectivity.
3. An article according to claim 2, wherein said substantially circular features comprise recessed portions of said surface.
4. An article according to claim 3, wherein each said substantially circular feature comprises a circular trench-like recess in said surface, with all said recesses being of substantially the same width.
5. An article according to claim 2, wherein the radiation output is emitted through said surface.
6.

This application is a continuation application Ser. No. 08/026,375, filed on Mar. 4, 1993, now abandoned.
This invention pertains to articles (e.g., an optical data processing system or an optical fiber communication system) that comprise a semiconductor laser, typically a vertical cavity surface emitting semiconductor laser (VCSEL), and means for producing a focused radiation output of the laser.
VCSELs have recently generated considerable interest, due to their potential for high output power and spatial coherence. See, for instance, R. A. Morgan et al., Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 61, p. 1160 (1992). The spatial coherence typically is required for applications that involve beam focusing (e.g., pump laser for a fiber amplifier) and/or beam steering.
Beam focusing is a frequently present feature of articles that comprise a semiconductor laser which, up to now, has required provision of an appropriate separate focusing element, typically a lens. This is an obvious disadvantage, entailing additional cost and complexity, including an alignment step. Thus, it would be desirable to have available a semiconductor laser having a focused output. This application discloses such a laser, to be referred to as a "zone" laser or "Z-laser".
FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically depict an exemplary VCSEL according to the invention, a Z-laser;
FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 respectively show the near field pattern, far field pattern and output spectrum of an exemplary Z-laser; and
FIG. 6 shows schematically an exemplary article according to the invention, namely, an optical fiber communication system that comprises a Z-laser. No attempt has been made to accurately display dimensions and/or proportions.
In a broad aspect the invention is embodied in an article that comprises a laser, the laser comprising integral means that cause the laser to have a radiation output that substantially comes to a focus at a point external to the laser.
The output beam of a laser "comes substantially to a focus" herein if the output beam is a converging beam, with a minimum cross section at some distance (the focal distance) from the laser.
More specifically, the laser comprises a semiconductor layer structure that comprises first and second reflection means and an active region between said first and second reflection means. The laser further comprises contact means that facilitate flowing on electric current through said layer structure such that the laser has a radiation output. Significantly, the laser comprises means, integral to the laser, that cause the laser to have a radiation output that substantially comes to a focus at a point external to the laser.
Exemplarily, the laser is a VCSEL, each of the first and second reflection means comprises a multiplicity of semiconductor layers, the layer structure has a surface that is substantially parallel with the semiconductor layers, and the radiation is emitted through the surface. The laser comprises means, integral to the laser, that provide a spatial variation of the reflectivity and/or gain/loss associated with the laser, with the variation selected such that the most easily excited transverse laser mode is a mode that has a far field pattern that focuses at some distance from the laser aperture. Exemplarily these means comprise a multiplicity of essentially concentric circular features in or on the surface. In currently preferred embodiments the features are appropriately spaced "trenches" that provide localized change in the reflectivity associated with the laser cavity. The resulting transverse laser mode typically has a field distribution inside the laser that resembles the field distribution that results when a plane wave has passed through a convex lens or a Fresnel zone plate. As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, provision of a spatial variation of the gain/loss associated with the laser requires that the means that provide the variation are disposed within the laser cavity.
The above theoretical description was provided for pedagogic reasons and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Articles according to the invention optionally comprise means for utilizing the radiation output of the laser. Exemplarily, such an article is an optical fiber communication system that comprises an optical amplifier, with the radiation output of the laser being the pump radiation, the output focused onto an optical fiber such that the radiation is launched into the fiber.
FIG. 1 schematically depicts a portion of an exemplary embodiment of the invention. For simplicity's sake, not all layers are shown. VCSEL 10 comprises semiconductor layer structure 14 which comprises multilayer first and second mirrors 11 and 12, respectively, cladding layers 111, and active region 13. On the top surface of the layer structure is situated contact layer 15. Second contact means (not shown) can be conventional. A (typically circular) window in the contact layer facilitates radiation emission from the top surface 16 of the semiconductor layer structure, and a multiplicity of trench-like features (17, 18, 19 . . . . ) are present in the surface. Desirably, the "trenches" are circular and concentric, with the radii chosen such that the surface regions substantially correspond to Fresnel zones, schematically indicated by alternating plus and minus signs. The separation of the trenches exemplarily is selected such that the phases associated with the optical paths from the center of adjacent zones to the focal point differ by nπ, where n=1, 3, 5 . . . . Typically, n=1. Other separation schemes can also be used, as those skilled in the art will appreciate.
I currently believe that, in a structure as shown in FIG. 1, the trenches affect the reflectivity such that the transverse laser mode which has the lowest intensity at the trench sites has the least loss, and thus will be the lasing mode. The resulting field profile is schematically indicated in FIG. 2. Reference numeral 20 refers to a proton implanted region that serves to define the lasing region in the xy-plane (radiation emission is in the z-direction). The above explanation is offered for tutorial purposes only, and the scope of the invention does not depend on the correctness of the explanation.
A laser according to the invention can be made by any process that is suitable for laser manufacture. Exemplarily, a laser of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 was produced as follows. On a conventional n+ GaAs substrate (1018 cm-3 Si) was grown by conventional MBE at about 600° C. a layer structure comprising, in sequence, a 0.5 μm n+ GaAs buffer layer (2×1018 cm-3 Si), a n+ AlGaAs lower mirror (2×1018 cm-3 Si), a 80 nm n- Al0.16 Ga0.84 As lower cladding layer (1017 cm-3 Si), an essentially undoped active region, a 80 nm p- Al0.16 Ga0.84 As upper cladding layer (5×1017 cm-3 Be), a p-type AlGaAs upper mirror, and a 5 nm p++ GaAs cap layer (2×1019 cm-3 Be). The lower mirror consisted of 30 pairs of layers, the layer thicknesses selected such that the optical thickness of each pair was λ/2, where λ is the wavelength of the laser light. A pair consisted of a layer of Al0.56 Ga0.44 As, followed by a layer of AlAs, followed by a layer of Al0.56 Ga0.44 As, which in turn was followed by a layer of Al0.16 Ga0.84 As. The upper mirror was identical to the lower mirror, except that it contained only 20 pairs of layers, with the first two pairs being doped with 2×1018 cm-3 Be, the next 14 pairs being doped with 5×1018 cm-3 Be, and the last four pairs with 2×1019 cm-3 Be. The active region contained five 7 nm GaAs quantum wells, with a 7 nm Al0.16 Ga0.84 As barrier layer between successive quantum wells.
Conventional photolithography and reactive ion etching were used to form several sets of concentric circular trench-like features (approximately 1 μm wide, 0.35 μm deep) in the top of the layer structure. The spacing between "trenches" was selected according to the previously recited condition for a wavelength of 0.85 μm. In a particular Z-laser the diameter of the outermost trench was about 120 μm. Conventional photolithography and evaporation were used to form a 150 nm gold layer, with circular apertures surrounding the respective sets of trenches, followed by deposition of a 15 nm Au layer onto all of the surface, including apertures. Care was taken to insure that the 15 nm layer was continuous across the trenches. This exemplarily was achieved by the use of off-axis evaporation sources. Patterned photoresist was used as mask for proton implantation (300 keV, resulting in 2.3 μm depth of the implant) to define the active region of the respective lasers. Conventional oxygen implantation was used to isolate the lasers. (In other cases the wafers were cleaved, resulting in individual lasers or arrays or lasers.) After conventionally polishing the back side of the substrate, contact metal (AuGe/Ni/Au) was deposited to provide an ohmic contact, and the lasers were tested.
Exemplarily, a thus produced laser with 120 μm diameter aperture had a pulsed threshold current of 250 mA (1.8 kA/cm2). The near field and far field beam patterns (both at twice the threshold current) are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively. Although the far field focal spot diameter was about 17 μm (about three times the diffraction limit), the far field focal spot clearly indicates the coherence of the beam. The laser spectrum is shown in FIG. 5. The laser linewidth as spectrometer-limited. The output power of the laser exceeded 200 mW.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate the invention can be embodied in a variety of VCSELs, including other than GaAs-based VCSELs (e.g., InP-based lasers), and in arrays of VCSELs, and all such embodiments are contemplated. Furthermore, the invention is not limited to the use of trenches as described, and all means that can locally alter the reflectivity and/or gain/loss associated with the laser cavity are contemplated.
FIG. 6 schematically depicts an exemplary article according to the invention, an optically amplified fiber communication system 60. Signal source 61 emits radiation 62 in response to an external signal. The radiation propagates through optical fiber (e.g., 63) to detector 64. Between source and detector is an optical amplifier which comprises pump laser 65, means 68 for coupling pump radiation 66 into amplifier fiber 67. Optionally the fiber transmission path between source and detector comprises grating means 69 which reflect pump radiation and pass signal radiation. Laser 65 exemplarily is a Z-laser that focuses pump radiation of wavelength 980 nm onto an end face of an optical fiber.

This time it was a call from the east. My generous friend/ host / boutique hotelier had a lovely
afternoon tea session with my book launch at her very sexy, quaint The Corner Courtyard hotel, off Landsdown road in Kolkata . Eight rooms, a fab restaurant with a very creative euro style menu.
I decided to over extend the hospitality to get my "food fix" and overcome those withdrawal symptoms... One of those things where I literally trek for new flavours. And it all started again. I took a
walk with their chef to the local Landsdowne market which is not really fancy to look but the produce
mainly fish and veggies are super. I always had this fascination for the Kolkata Bhetki. In Mumbai we are used to eating sea water or salt water fish, but in Kolkata , it's all about sweet water or river fish… Totally divine flavours, subtle and silky in the mouth… To my surprise I have discovered that the bhetki is called Chonak in Konkani. I have eaten it a lot in Goa. It's also referred to as Asian Sea Bass or Barramundi in English. This species has an elongated body form with a large, slightly oblique mouth and an upper jaw extending behind the eye inhabiting coastal waters, estuaries, lagoons, and rivers
I once remember having this fish in Goa in a wicked red masala, coated in suji and pan fried. We bought some fish back along with the famous and one of the most delicious Gandharaj lemon(means King of Flavour), only found in abundance in Kolkata and some eastern states. The most amazing citrus I have come across after yuzu ( a Japanese citrus fruit) Gandharaj lemon deserves all the credit it gets, for it is truly fragrant. You need to actually taste it to perceive its flavor -- the fragrance is indescribable. The shape is longish and it has a thick rind. It's beautiful, and divine when squeezed over hot rice mixed with a dollop of ghee! The leaves are amazingly fragrant. I would cut them into a fine chiffonade (strips thin) and toss it with some fried rice with chillies n ginger. The zest can be grated and used in cookies, cake batters, mousses, and the juice will make a fab lemon curd for an orgasmically tasty lemon curd tarts… Also, a slice of lemon warmed on a tava or a pan ,sprinkled with ajwain and rock salt and sucked helps to release gas from your stomach instantly. I had this wonderful lunch from a very popular eatery Bhojohori Manna (named after the great Manna Dey) after which I had a severe food coma. Bhetki with mustard in a banana leaf, fish head and dal curry, aloo poshto, jumbo prawns in dab (coconut water) and Kosha Mngsho (sexiest mutton dish), ghee rice with a twist of the Gandhraj lemon ..OMMGGGG. Meetha to buntaa hai once in Kolkata… So many sweets but I stuck to my favourite roshgullas, mishti dohi (top class) and ras malais…. And of course not to forget those after hours post many beers et al... the iconic kathi rolls just off Park Street…gotta be done..
Till then have a great weekend.. Eat well, play safe.

I've gotta agree that it might be lots more fun for them to snatch their human abductees unawares by means of a cloaking device.
But makes sense that they rather enjoy a bit of entrapment before hauling some poor sucker onboard to dissect and examine. I expect it's somewhat more effortless to nab us humans while we're pointing skyward and exclaiming, "Sunuvagun, Martha! Ain't that a UFO up there?"

Well, show's over, kids. The thirtieth Olympiad has concluded and gone with it are the hours of equestrian, water polo, race walking and assorted moments in broadcasting cluelessness which left us fumbling for the remote. Of course scattered amongst the monotony were the reasons we actually watch; the worlds greatest athletes, having toiled for years in relative obscurity, dazzling us with their talent, passion and character. The Olympics are shared moment, one where household names and legends are created in a matter of seconds. For Kevin Love, it was just more of the same.
Archives For Alexey Shved
Danny Chau has been driving the Alexey Shved bandwagon for as long as I've known Danny. He writes for Hardwood Paroxysm and has a fantastic knowledge of everything that is Alexey Shved on a basketball court. I asked him to give a brief scouting report on Shved so Wolves fans can get more familiar with his game. You can follow Danny on Twitter here.
I just got through finishing a couple victory laps around my house. Russian guard Alexey Shved has agreed to a deal with the Wolves. Get excited.
Shved has become a more familiar name this summer thanks to the interest from several NBA teams, but scouts have been gawking at Shved's potential for more than half a decade. It wasn't that long ago that he was dominating Europe's youth circuit and thought of as a potential lottery pick in the NBA draft. The Wolves are looking at a legit 6'6" combo guard with dynamite athleticism and creating ability. Something of a revelation last season was Shved's fantastic 3-point percentage in the Euroleague (50 percent). This probably won't translate directly (especially considering the difference in distance between the NBA/FIBA 3-point lines), something Shved himself admitted to in an interview with Euroleague.net:
"I don't think that the shot is my strongest asset! I like best to be in pick-and-roll situations; I like to pass the ball. It just happened that I have good shooting percentages in the Euroleague. If you look at my stats in other tournaments, I am not shooting as well. I can just say that it's great that I am making 50% of my shots." Continue Reading…
He has so many arms!*
This morning, we had this tweet from @sportsruenglish, a Russian sports website saying that Alexey Shved was going to become a member of the Wolves:
Then, I sent out our field reporter Andrew Renschen (@infraren) retroactively (or you know… he was tweeting with the agent of Shved on his own before a lot of this even broke… believe whichever version you'd like) to see if he could extract any information from Shved's agent Obrad Fimic. Continue Reading…
Our friend Darren Wolfson at ESPN 1500 has reported that the Wolves are going to offer Brandon Roy a two-year contract and that the money is not known.
I don't even know if I'm ready to deal with the idea of Roy's knees actually being healthy enough to be a serviceable player in the NBA. It's not even like he had a catastrophic injury that left him in deep Shaun Livingston type of territory. He had injuries that were manageable (relatively speaking of course) and the wear-and-tear-and-more-tear just deteriorated the situation in his middle-leg-joints (medical term) past the point of no return.
But there apparently is a return in sight. With that return, it means the Wolves have to woo him with money over those proposed two years in order to convince him Minnesota is more attractive than a more instant title contender. So how much money do they have?
For committed salary heading into next year (courtesy of Sham Sports), the Wolves currently stand at $52,874,151. That is with the understanding that Brad Miller's retirement paperwork has all of the Ts crossed and the lower case Js dotted. But that number can be deceiving. Continue Reading…

Obviously, with museums, as with bats and gloves, one size does not fit all. Tate has every reason to reject historical styleit simply does not own the goods. MOMA, however, is soaking in them. Which brings us to what's really, terminally wrong with a show like "What Is Painting?" Not just a capitulation to ill-fitting curatorial ideas, this exhibition proves yet another instance in which the museum refuses to elucidate why contemporary art matters in the 21st century, routinely sidestepping its authority and influence in favor of lobbing repeated softballs at a mostly stupefied public (both the general and specialized kind). With "What Is Painting?", MOMA once again crowds the plate and desperately swings for the fences in what should have been an ambitious, age-defining, reputation-building exhibition. Then it chokes.

WD2000: How to Convert Macros Between WordPerfect and Word
Article ID: 216706 - View products that this article applies to.
This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
After you open a WordPerfect document that contains a macro in Microsoft Word, the macro no longer functions as expected. Word does not convert WordPerfect macros and they are not stored with the converted file.
More information
Macros in WordPerfect are analogous to Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macros in Word. However, the implementations of these macros, for both simple macros and those requiring advanced macro programming commands, are based on different programming models.
In WordPerfect versions 5.0 and 5.1, you can record text typed into a document as macros. This feature is comparable to Word's Glossary (Word 2.0x) or AutoText (Word 6.0x/7.0/97/98/2000) feature. WordPerfect macros are not converted into Word macros, nor are they converted to Glossaries or AutoText entries during document conversion. However, you can "bring over" the text of your macros and re-create them as AutoText or Glossaries. To bring your macros over to Word from WordPerfect, follow these steps:

Family vacation for parents 50th anniversary
Calling all kayak lovers!
The house is equipped with several kayaks, which my family used daily. What a nice treat! I especially loved taking one out at dusk to watch the gorgeous sunsets over the bay.
The kitchen had everything we needed, and we prepared meals most nights. For those who prefer to dine out, there are AMPLE options in Fenwick and Ocean City. Catch 54 is just minutes from the house and is HIGHLY recommended for a delicious seafood dinner.
Although I traveled with all the necessary baby gear, the house supplies a pack-n-play, high chair, toys, books, etc. My 9-year-old niece loved the Xbox Kinect.
We won't hesitate to choose this home again if/when traveling back to Fenwick!
Great house with tons of amenities
Outside, there is a covered upper deck with a dining table and a large lower deck that runs right up to the canal bulkhead. The owners provide two large (commercial size) crab traps and four small basket-style traps for recreational crabbing. We supplemented with four of our own, so we had 8 traps in the water (plus the two big ones) for nearly our entire stay. The owners also provide a large cage to store any "keepers" in the water until you are ready to cook 'em. The kids really enjoyed the crabbing and were constantly out on the deck pulling up the traps. The water in the canal is pretty shallow (maybe 4 ft at high tide, at the most) and calm, so we really didn't worry too much about the kids being out on the deck by themselves(we kept an eye on them, of course, but we didn't feel that we had to be out there standing right next to them). Also, there are 4 very nice kayaks available for use, including a two-person kayak (and at least 8 nice life jackets of all sizes). The outdoor shower is great, and the yard is fenced.
The house is only a short walk from the pool, which was very well maintained and staffed by a lifeguard. We spent several hours at the pool over the course of the week. The house also is located in a great spot, only about a mile west of the intersection of Rt 54 and Rt 1. Short, easy drive into Fenwick or Ocean City (about 10 min from the N. Ocean City Park off of 127th St, which has an excellent playground and crabbing pier). Stone's throw from Harpoon Hannas, and two grocery stores within 2 or 3 miles.
Overall, we had an excellent time and were very satsified. I would definitely recommend this house to large families with kids.
Fabulous Fenwick Fun for the Family!
The home is fairly new and was kept very neat and clean. It has the perfect amount of decor and is even fairly baby-proof (which is extremely hard to find!). The owners thought of everything... there were even toys to take to the beach. We will definitely come back.
Perfect for the whole family

I guess we have to take your word that you were teaching 'modern' in 1968 since like so many of your assertions there is no empirical 'scientific' proof of it. I have to ask, has your teaching evolved at all since 1968 and if so how has it--if not it can't be called 'modern' can it? Nothing that happened 45 years ago can still be considered 'modern'--nothing. So what exactly is your definition of 'modern'?
FWIW, since we're dropping names (which you LOVE to do), I went to Segura when I was in college (I played for an NCAA National Championship team, played pro tennis, and currently coach all over the world) when he was the pro at La Costa (well after his time with you at the BHTC) and he did not teach like you. Prior to that I took a few private lessons from Pancho Gonzalez, who you claim to base at least some of your teachings on, and again he did not play or teach like you. And neither of them hit primarily open stance, semi-western, windshield-wiper, sudden 'yank across' forehands (Segura in fact hit his forehand with 2 hands). Gonzalez very rarely, if ever, hit topspin backhands. So where does the 'modern' fit in?
So again, what exactly is your defintion of 'modern'? And what exactly are the current crop of Americans doing that is not 'modern' and holding them back (be specific)? Maybe that would clear a lot of things up.
(I'm going ignore all responses from the minions, peons, worshippers & wannabes--as should everyone).
And none of the 'more famous coaches' would ever bother to post here for the simple reason that they just don't have to--their work, their influence and their results speak for themselves. They don't need to constantly post links to their website or Youtube like you apparently need to. I'm actually surprised someone of your 'legendary stature' (???) would find this little forum so important to you. That alone says a lot...

The government is taking measures to rehabilitate beggars.
The Government care camp for beggars at Melpakkam can accommodate 950 members. The number of members is more during winter or summer as several beggars seek shelter.
Besides medical care, vocational training is provided to them. Rehabilitation homes for leprosy patients are being run in 10 places.
About Rs.7.50 crore has been allocated this year towards the rehabilitation of beggars. There is a proposal to construct a new home at a cost of Rs.1.29 crore to accommodate 100 families.

Calibre in the Cloud
I've mentioned before that I keep my entire e-book collection in my Dropbox folder, and I can access it anywhere I have a Web connection. I didn't come up with the idea myself; instead, I shamelessly stole the idea from Bill Childers. I suspect he stole it from someone else, so feel free to steal the idea from me.
Basically, it involves two programs, both free (well, three, if you count Dropbox). First, create a folder inside your Public folder that resides in your Dropbox folder. You can name this folder anything you like, but because it will be hosting all your e-books, it's wise to name it something no one would guess.
Then, in Calibre, click on the bookshelf icon (upper left), and click "switch library". Then, select that new secret folder you made inside your Public Dropbox folder. Calibre will move your entire library to that folder, so make sure you have enough free space in your Dropbox to handle your entire e-book collection. If you have too many e-books, you could create a separate library inside Calibre and just keep a select few books in that Public folder.
Now you should have a working install of Calibre that stores your e-books and database inside your Dropbox. You simply can open this library file with Calibre on other computers that sync with Dropbox, or you can go one step further and create a cloud-based repository that you can browse from any computer. And, that's where calibre2opds comes into play.
calibre2opds is a Java application that creates a Web site from your Calibre library. Download the Java application from http://www.calibre2opds.com, and launch it with your favorite Java runtime environment. Once it's launched, you'll see many options for tweaking how your library will look. The first thing you need to do is make sure the Database Folder is pointed to the secret folder to which you moved your Calibre library. Then, you'll want to set the Catalog Folder to something. It's okay to leave it set to _catalog, which is the default.
Figure 1. calibre2opds is a GUI Java application.
Next, you need to decide what sort of Web site you want to create. If you want to be able to browse it with any Web browser, leave the "Compatibility Level" at "OPDS". If you want to browse directly with your Android device, you can choose either TROOK or ALDIKO, and calibre2opds will generate a catalog that those readers can access directly. Once you tweak any other settings to your liking, click the Generate Catalogs button on the bottom, and it will create all the files you need right inside your Calibre database folder.
Because you did all this inside your Public Dropbox folder, you can look for that _catalog folder and find the index.html file inside it. Right-click on index.html, get the Dropbox public link for it, and see the result. (Note: you may need to find the index.xml file if you're trying to browse with Aldiko or Trook.)
Figure 2. Here is my e-book collection, created by calibre2opds.
Shawn Powers is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal. You might find him chatting on the IRC channel, or Twitter
Much simpler setup: a cloud ebook library
I used to use Calibre + Calibre OPDS, but the setup is bit complicated and regenerating the catalog every time manually is annoying. So I end up with a simple Web service I programmed, catalog.im. It helps me to organize all my ebook collections and it gives a up-to-date OPDS feed. All I need to do is to upload my ebooks, and these ebooks will appear in the library and the OPDS feed.
I would like to invite you to try it out, anyone interested? Please drop me a mail to felixding[at]gmail.com

I consider it's no longer mentioning staying ones MP3s beneath Dropbox, solely having your own MP3 backups associated with copyrighted content in public places (ie Shared to your globe) folders.

so called cloud computing
So we have what is basically main frame computing over the internet, using javascript to make it download faster. How is this new? Why would I want to put my personal, non-public information on some else's computer system, where they keep backups of it, so that even if I delete things, there is still and always will be a copy, on their systems? Sounds like a bad idea, to me.
Wake up and realize the hype. Why would I want to pay someone to put my stuff online, to be able to view it from anywhere, there is an internet connection, that I can use, when storage media, such as sdhc, external usb disk drives, are so cheap and compact? And I can view it from anywhere there is power. And for free!
And if you need an id and password to view an online account, why would there be an issue, about putting copyrighted material on there?
Wake up!
copyrighted is ok
as long as it is not in PUBLIC folders.
PUBLIC=shared and thus you are
distributing copyrighted materials.
Dropbox is cancelling accounts of calibre2opds users
Pay attention following these instructions: there's a post on calibre2opds blog
that informs about Dropbox closing accounts because of the material suspect of copyright infringement (books!) in the Dropbox public folders.
That seems pretty dumb
So I can't use dropbox to backup mp3 files from bands? It seems pretty dumb for dropbox to say you can't have copyrighted materials in it.
Only in PUBLIC folders
No, it's not talking about keeping your MP3s in Dropbox, only keeping your MP3 backups of copyrighted material in public (ie Shared to the world) folders.

It's a new year
Football looks to the future, not dwelling on past
File Photo.
On a chilly day at the end of November, the Elon University football team made school history when it took the field against the University of Richmond in the first round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. The 2009 team was the first ever to make the FCS postseason, with an at-large bid after finishing 9-2 overall and second-place 7-1 in the Southern Conference.
But while this great accomplishment was not to go unnoticed, several players on the 2010 squad said they will not let this one accomplishment define who the Phoenix is for the new season.
"We're happy about it, but we're not dwelling in the past," junior linebacker Joshua Jones said.
Sophomore defensive back Dale Riley agreed, noting the importance of looking to the upcoming competitors.
But the success will not be completely forgotten, head coach Pete Lembo said.
"For three years, we've talked to our players about how special getting to that plateau would be," he said. "Now they know exactly what we're talking about. Experience is a great motivator."
Knowing what it took to get to the FCS postseason will help the team in preparing for this season, Lembo said.
Winning isn't the only feeling the Phoenix will take away from last season as motivation though, senior quarterback Scott Riddle said.
"Everyone on this team — except the freshmen — knows what it feels like to lose a game in the playoffs," he said. "We don't want to feel like that again."
Going into the 2010 season, the team has been ranked in the top-10 in six different polls — as low as No. 9 in the AnyGivenSaturday.com FCS College Football Rankings and as high as No. 6 in Phil Steele, Athlon and Lindy's top-25.
But Lembo said these rankings are based on past performances and don't reflect what the team will do in the coming season.
"If you're asking me, (the ranking) means nothing," Lembo said. "I hope it means nothing to the team, as well."
Lembo said he's more concerned about preparing the team for the upcoming season, focusing on its goals and not on what other people are saying.
"First and foremost, we have a long-term goal, which stays consistent every year," he said.
This is to win the SoCon and advance to the FCS playoffs.
Riley said the team believes it can do just that.
"We want to win everything," Riley said. "And we should be able to."
One thing the team has worked on this offseason is filling the holes left by those who played their last game in 2009.
"We lost a lot of guys last year, so everyone's been learning their role and perfecting the technique," senior running back Brandon Newsome said.
Because the team lost so many starters, Lembo said there were two matchups where the new configuration could either make or break the team.
"First, our offensive line. We lost three starters — two four-year starters and one three-year starter. The ability to replace those guys is important," he said. "The second area is our secondary. We had four seniors, but we've got some young, talented defensive backs."
But Lembo said he thought the players were taking on their new roles well, both in these areas and in others across the entirety of the team.
"I think we got some good kids in the program, and a number of them have had the opportunity to step in and make their own mark," he said. "It's always exciting to see how guys respond."
One hole has caused more discussion than the rest: wide receiver Terrell Hudgins.
Hudgins broke nearly every record in the books on his way to a contract with the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL.
But Riddle said the team has plenty of other talented wide receivers to fill the gap, and it will be harder on opponents' defenses because they will not be able to single out one target.
Newsome also said Elon has the talent at running back to balance the loss at wide receiver.
"Everyone keeps talking about Terrell Hudgins," Newsome said. "I think it's a blessing in disguise. We have a lot of depth at running back, and we keep getting better every day."
This progression will be tested in its first game of the year, Sept. 4, when the Phoenix travels to Durham.
"Our short-term goal is to beat Duke (University) in our season opener," Lembo said.
He pointed out that while the game plan for the Duke game will be different from others, the team will prepare in the same way.
"We approach every game the same way in terms of structure and intensity," Lembo said. "It's a lot about us, not about them. We believe in what we do and how we do it, whether it's an ACC, a SoCon or any other game."
The odds are against the Phoenix in taking on the ACC opponent, Riddle said, but the team has seen what happened when an FCS school went to Durham and took on the Blue Devils in their season opener.
The University of Richmond defeated Duke 24-16 to start last season, and Elon looks to do the same this year, beginning with its preparation.
"We're going to work as hard as we can," Riddle said. "We're going to practice like each team is the Carolina Panthers."

Le Bellechasse
8 Rue Bellechasse, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 7th Arr. (Tour Eiffel/Musée D'Orsay)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
It's often a bit of a gamble commissioning boutique-hotel interiors from fashion designers, but one thing you can almost always be sure of is that you won't end up looking at the same tired minimalism you've already seen in a thousand other hotels. Extravagant materials, bold colors, quirky details and statements aplenty are pretty much the order of the day, and once in a while it all coheres into something remarkable and unique — certainly that's the case with Christian Lacroix's redesign for Paris's Hotel Bellechasse.
Especially when it comes to Paris hotels we often find ourselves wondering why such a stylish city can't let its hair down a bit. This place, however, will inspire no such complaints; the Bellechasse borders on the flamboyant, as a glance at the photos will tell you. It's certainly not for traditionalists, or tourists in search of the typically Parisian; simply put it's for people who don't mind a room with extremely bold printed wallpaper, vertical arrow slits for windows, and a bathtub in plain view in the corner of the bedroom, where attempting to use the shower attachment would result in an aquatic disaster of near-Biblical proportions.
That sound you hear is the collective sound of virtually all our business-travel customers (and a sizable proportion of our shower-happy Americans) clicking their browser's "back" button. Those of you who are still with us, however, will find a hotel that's delightfully full of character, full of surprises, nearly as comfortable as can be (while stopping just short of out-and-out luxury) and with a fine location to boot, just a block from the Musée d'Orsay.

What I liked:
Everything was very "design", slick and comfortable. Loved the interesting decor and location - even though in a central area -it was not noisy.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing; Had a wonderful stay!

What I liked:
The location was amazing,just next to musee d'orsay in a charming and upscale district of Paris.Our room was ready already at 11am as we arrived early.
What the hotel could do better:
The room was very,very small(but we did get a very good price) and there was a strange smell...otherwise all was very good!

"We send out coffee gift cards to my husbands clients each year and these cards were perfect. I'm able to attach the gift cards to the back of this card. We upgraded the paper and it's beautiful. My only suggestion would be to use a navy print color for the gold strip on the front of the card. I used the suggested white and it is difficult to see!"
"This is a very nice card made with a quality cardstock. Be aware that the color is not a bright red - it's more of a brck red. We approved our proof on 11/8/12 (we put our company logo on the front and our names were printed on the back) and we received our order of 400 cards on 11/15/12 - FANTASTIC service! This is our fourth year ordering from Tiny Prints."
"I just picked these up from Costco today and they look great....even better than I had anticipated. We're a tech company so this card is just perfect for us. I highly recommend them! Thanks!"
"We were very impressed with the paper quality and color vibrancy. Our logo came out very nicely as well. Crisp, clean, and colorful - it was perfect for our corporate holiday card. Also, customer service was very helpful in allowing us to make two versions of the same card to target different client groups."
"I wanted to do a less buttoned up corporate card this year that still retains a sense of formality. This card fit the bill perfectly. The paper quality is good enough for the price and silver envelope jazzes it up considerably. I tacked on the address labels to really complete it. Great design at the right price."
