Pool/ChronicleThe city and county are considering a complicated proposal to establish tax increment reinvestment zones to finance a variety of projects, including an unspecified redevelopment of the Reliant Astrodome. The Astrodome, right, is dwarfed by Reliant Stadium, left, in this aerial photo taken in August.
Texans fans on Wednesday largely shrugged off the news Reliant Stadium may have a new name, saying what happens on the field is what matters most.
NRG Energy, the parent company of Reliant Energy and the state's largest electricity retailer, confirmed it hopes to rebrand the South Loop sports complex as NRG Park, with every facility dropping the Reliant name for NRG, as in NRG Stadium, NRG Arena and NRG Center.
Surprise at the news of the proposed name change quickly gave way to jokes questioning whether the new moniker would improve the luck for the team with the worst record in the NFL last season.
"NRG Stadium? Not Really Good Stadium is overdoing it. Texans will turn it around," one fan tweeted.
NRG, which acquired Reliant's retail operations in 2009 and is dual-headquartered in New Jersey and Houston, said it will swap out every sign bearing the Reliant name at the Harris County-owned park before the football season begins this fall. The board of the Harris County Sports and Convention Corp. must approve the deal before work can begin, but company officials said they have been working closely with the agency that runs the park, as well as the Texans and Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, and are hopeful the plan will be approved.
The sports corporation issued a statement confirming the item would appear on its March 19 board agenda, but did not say what decision, if any, staff would recommend.
Reliant bought the naming rights for the Texans' stadium and surrounding buildings in 2002 for $300 million, the most lucrative deal of its kind at the time.
The 32-year agreement required Reliant to pay about $10 million a year, with 75 percent going to the Texans, 15 percent to the Livestock Show & Rodeo and 10 percent to Harris County. Those terms will remain the same, company officials said Wednesday.
Expansion mode
NRG Texas Retail and Reliant President Elizabeth Killinger said Wednesday the company "felt like now was the right time to really move to the family name so that as we bring more products and services to market, people will realize the relationship between the different companies."
The green-energy-focused company, currently peddling new products at the rodeo, is in expansion mode, having announced the acquisition of another retail electric business just this week.
Killinger declined to give an exact price tag for the cost to rebrand the Reliant complex, but confirmed it would be more than $100,000, and stressed that the company would be picking up the entire tab. She said it also plans to ask the county for permission sometime this springto outfit complex facilities with "sustainable energy enhancements" such as solar panels.
The Texans and rodeo deferred to NRG for comment on Wednesday.
The rebranding could mean costs outside the park, as well. While changing the name of a rail station requires the approval of the Metropolitan Transit Authority board, all of the maps and signs for Metro's train routes that reflect a stop at 'Reliant Park,' as do the automated announcements on the trains.
A smart move
Marketing experts said the Texans and rodeo do not have much to worry about, in terms of harm to their brand, and that NRG has everything to gain with the change.
Betsy Gelb, a marketing professor at the University of Houston's C.T. Bauer College of Business, said it is a smart move by a company whose name recognition in Houston is non-existent.
"If you want people to like you - and what corporation doesn't? - the first thing is, they have to know you exist," Gelb said. "One thing that NRG is trying to do here is to say: 'We're proud of being associated with Houston and this is a big-time way to do that.' "
NRG added its name to Reliant in 2010, the year after the acquisition, giving it a new logo and the tag line "An NRG Company," but has kept the Reliant name around. The new rebranding would eliminate the Reliant name from the complex altogether.
"Historically it has been a more difficult transition for professional teams when they have switched their stadium's naming rights from one brand to a different one that is completely unrelated," Rice University sports management professor Clark Haptonstall wrote in an email. "It will be an expensive transition for NRG to change all of the logos throughout the stadium and inside of the park itself, but they'll know how to do it."
Kirk Wakefield, executive director of Sports Sponsorship and Sales at Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business, said "it only makes sense to have a unified branding strategy."
"I'm a little surprised it took this long," he said, saying the move is "part of a long-term strategy with the goal of increasing brand health for NRG on a national basis."
'Married to the Texans'
The last time a Houston stadium was renamed was in 2002, the same year Reliant inked its naming rights deal, when Enron Field became Minute Maid Park, a change that was met with skepticism and orange juice-related jokes ("Beat them to a pulp").
Huffington Post blogger Susan Whitbourne, a psychology professor at UMass Amherst with an interest in sports fan behavior, said it can be "really tough" for fans to swallow stadium name changes. "There needs to be a lot of work done by a company, if they're going to be doing this, to build fan loyalty and not just take it as a given that everyone will be OK with it," she said.
NRG should not have a problem winning over diehard Texans fans.
"I'm not married to them," said a fan who calls himself Joe Texan. "I'm married to the Texans."

Noted for Student Service, Jay Haugen Has Worked at SLU for 13 Years
Following a national search, Saint Louis University has appointed Jay Haugen University registrar, overseeing academic records and registration.
Haugen joined the University in 1997 and most recently served as director of enrollment management information systems. In that role, Haugen standardized the reporting for academic advisers and helped improve processes for transfer students, among other accomplishments.
Jay Haugen
Though his work involved endless amounts of data, according to Cari Wickliffe, assistant vice president of the division of enrollment management and director of student financial services, Haugen never lost sight of those he was really serving.
"Throughout his career at SLU, Jay has always demonstrated a deep commitment to student service," she said.
Haugen knows what it's like to be a SLU student going through the University's registration and other administrative processes.
He earned his undergraduate degree from the University in 1997. (Years later, he took advantage of the tuition remission benefit to obtain his MBA.)
In addition to his duties in the enrollment management division, Haugen has served on numerous University-wide committees as well as the graduate education transition team — efforts that afforded him opportunities to collaborate with faculty and staff from every corner of the campus.
And that's important, Haugen said, because the registrar needs to have relationships with the entire campus.
"I've had the unique experience of working directly with almost all of the divisions of this institution," Haugen said. "I'm really looking forward to creating even more positive relationships in my new role."

Selling the dream: how car ads evolved
Like Jaguar's 'Good to be bad', Ford Ka's 'Evil twin' or Honda's 'Cog'? Here are their ancestors
Posted: 24 Apr 2014
"Dispense with a horse." Those were the words atop the world's first-ever car advert in 1898, for the Winton Motor Carriage. It clearly belonged to a more innocent age of motoring, when a car's main virtue was being a car. There wasn't much else to sell. But as the motorcar entered the 20th century, so did the advertising that sold it. Soon there'd be fanciful illustrations and bold straplines as carmakers competed for the attention of newly horseless humans. Over the next 100 years or so, we'd move through world wars, depressions and the space age, all of which provided ad men - the real-life Don Drapers - with the backdrop for their campaigns.
A new book by Taschen brings together some of the more notable - although mostly American - efforts from the last century. It's the story of the car, told via the advertising that paralleled it, spread over nearly 600 pages. And although it doesn't include that very first advert, it does cover the following decade when cars were still fighting for road space with hoofier means of transport. Back then, a car required a staff of at least one person to drive and maintain it. Which is why some ads targeted top-hatted partygoers, while others spoke to the chauffeurs waiting outside with promises of grippy tyres and effective lubrication.
"Ford advertising never attempts to be clever," said Henry Ford in 1912. But as the Twenties roared in, more carmakers experimented with grand campaigns, often featuring bright Art Deco illustrations. And by 1928, even old Henry had hired New York's finest to help flog his new Model A. The Madison Avenue agencies were beginning to make themselves felt. Then along came the first celebrity ambassadors, including chubby funster Fatty Arbuckle for General Motors. Even the gloom of Prohibition and Thirties Depression didn't stop the creative machine. As the book points out, the adverts - and the streamlined cars they depicted "cut through the economic drag of the decade".
Even through WWII, when carmakers switched production to supply the war effort, the ad men used the opportunity for a spot of propaganda. After the war, they capitalised on the rampant consumerism of the late Forties and the great American Dream of the Fifties. Cars grew longer and shinier, and illustrators stretched them further still, as if straining to reach the future as fast as possible. Cartoon rockets filled Jetsons skies, as drivers gazed upwards from tail-finned Mercurys and Meteors.
Then, in 1959, Volkswagen hired New York agency Doyle Dane Bernbach. The resulting 'Think Small' campaign for the new Beetle was revolutionary. Here, quite literally in stark contrast to the American exuberance, was a little German car placed on a simple white background. The crisp photography gave no illusion. It was bold and honest and more than a little droll. It was also an enormous success, and began a whole new advertising movement. Straplines became smarter. Photos replaced artwork. The product became king.
Still, many American brands persisted with the rock 'n' roll and superlatives. Their ads featured big red boxing gloves and tiger skins stretched over Pontiac hoods. This was the age of the muscle car, goddammit, and who were those Europeans with their funny little cars, anyway? And so the ad world split into two schools, until - in the Seventies - came the oil crisis. And with it came the Japanese, with their pragmatic runabouts and attractive fuel economy. Suddenly those showy ads for homegrown V8s didn't seem so smart after all.
It wasn't until the mid Eighties that America got its mojo back. Wall Street had its wolves and - according to Gordon Gekko, at least - greed was good. Bankers' bonuses stoked the supercar market, and even Ferrari took out print ads - something it hasn't really done since. And so with the exotic metal began the era of the studio shoot, where clever lighting and trick exposures replaced the artist's pen. Ad men concentrated on style and luxury. Cars were pictured with models in sharp suits and nasty furs. It was all nauseatingly cheesy and ever-so-slightly sleazy.
The Nineties wasn't much better, and you could argue that - faced with bland SUVs and sensible finance deals - car adverts have never rediscovered their old form. But perhaps the Mad Men aren't to blame. All the while, their campaigns have merely reflected the world around them, their billboards and mag spreads forming a sort of cultural anthropology. Politics, pop culture, celebrity, society: maybe we've become too damn boring. Or maybe it's the tedious rules that - in Britain, at least - ban advertisers from showing anything as exciting as a burnout.
But maybe the good times are coming back. We might be done with rollergirls and pointy tail fins, but car tech is making big leaps again, and who knows where the next 100 years could take us? We have hyper-hybrids. Hydrogen fuel cells. And scientists are already bottling the antimatter that could, one day, give us perpetual motion. Surely you could knock up a decent advert from that lot...

Calling this 1984 Chevy Corvette fast is like saying Mark McGuire is an OK hitter and Jeff Gordon is a fair driver. This C4 gives new meaning to the word fast. In fact, it lays claim to the title of "World's Fastest Corvette," having been officially clocked at 271.044 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
The Bonneville Salt Flats are located in western Utah, just outside the town of Wendover. It's the site of an ancient lakebed that dried up thousands of years ago, leaving behind a several-inch-thick layer of nearly pure and startlingly white salt. The 44,000-acre Flats are so flat that if a person with good eyesight looks across the surreal terrain toward the horizon, he will actually see the curvature of the earth!
Every August since 1949 a band of speed junkies has gathered on the Salt Flats to test their courage and the mettle of their machines. Under comprehensive rules devised by The Southern California Timing Association, the vehicles are classified according to engine displacement, type of fuel used, body style, and a host of other parameters. Each vehicle is given opportunities to travel down a marked course, where it is timed at mile intervals. If the average of two consecutive runs exceeds the existing record for the class, a new record is established.
Since the late '50s, Corvettes have figured prominently among the vast array of vehicles found at Bonneville. Their excellent aerodynamics, more than anything else, is what attracts would-be racers to the marque. That is precisely what led J. Mindenbergs to build this '84 in the first place. He bought the car brand-new and immediately converted it into a Bonneville record contender, quickly moving from contender to record holder, a position it has occupied ever since. Mindenburgs established a new AA/GT (This is a GT class racer with an over-501ci engine) record in the car in 1988 with a two-way average speed of 266.450 mph. He also took the car to its highest recorded speed thus far, the amazing 271.044 mph mentioned earlier.
In 1996, Bobby Moore bought the '84 from its second owner, who had run it as high as 219 mph on the Salt Flats. Bobby had never competed at Bonneville before bringing his Corvette there in 1997, but immediately earned the respect of his fellow racers by reaching 225 mph in his first Flats run. By the time the meet was over he held the new AA/MS record with a two-way average of 234.162 mph. In addition to setting a new class record, Bobby earned another honor by being inducted into the Bonneville 200 mph club. To qualify for entry into this exclusive club one must both run a two-way average speed in excess of 200 mph and establish a new class record.
Bobby returned to Bonneville in 1998 and ran the '84 in the A/MS class, where he set a new record of 236.142 mph. As with the AA/MS class, the Corvette was run as a "Modified Sports" car, which is basically a stock car with the addition of a front air dam and rear spoiler to the original bodywork. The "A" designation in the classification indicates that it ran with an engine displacing between 440 and 501 ci.
For 1999, team member Bob Creitz, a legendary engine builder and member of the NHRA Drag Racing Hall of Fame, built a larger powerplant for the car. The 580-inch Chevy engine put the Corvette back into the AA/MS class, where the current mark is 251.261 mph. Running on 110-octane racing gas, the naturally aspirated, Hilborn-injected big-block makes in excess of 1,100 hp, enough to give it a shot at the record. Unfortunately, it was also enough to blow up the car's Doug Nash five-speed transmission. Without a spare gearbox on hand the car was done for that meet.
"We'll be back," reported Bobby immediately after returning to his pit area. "The transmission broke, so we won't be running any more this week. I'm thinking of replacing the Nash with a Lenco, which is a little bit stronger."

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsApril 3, 2013
by Gary Alan Miller and Katherine Nobles Part 4 of 5
How many times a week do you attend a meeting in which you leave feeling unproductive or uninspired? For most of us, the answer is probably much more frequently than we would like.
We tend to rely on meetings as sources of information and idea collection, only to leave the meetings having shot down each others' ideas or forgetting them one week later.
What other methods can we use to more effectively share and collect ideas? And what do we do with those ideas once we've captured them? Where should we be looking for inspiration to create new ideas in the first place?
These were some of the questions we sought to answer in the process section of our 2012 study about career center innovation.
Our study found that the potential for innovation is more prevalent in career centers where:
As we can see from the chart below, the "all affirmative" responses on process are considerably lower than the climate and leadership sections of our study. Specifically, just 22 percent answered all affirmatively within the process section, compared to 47 percent for climate and 30 percent for leadership. Keeping in mind that innovation is the implementation of creative solutions, it's not enough for an organization to have an innovative climate or leadership. It's also critical for it to have processes and tools in place to capture and act on ideas.Source: 2012 Study on Career Center Innovation, Gary Alan Miller and Katherine Nobles
How do we overcome obstacles?It's often difficult to implement the ideas we develop due to the obstacles that interfere. You may not be surprised to learn budget and time are the two biggest obstacles to innovation among career services professionals. In fact, 62 percent of survey respondents indicated that budget and time are not made available for employees to explore their own ideas. We also found that centers that make budget and/or time available for employees to explore their own ideas are much more innovative than those that do not. Eighty percent of respondents who self-identified as less innovative stated that budget and time are not made available, compared to only 42 percent of respondents who self-identified as more innovative. This difference indicates that while budget and time are most certainly two big hurdles to face, they are not impossible to overcome if given a supportive climate and leadership.
Other obstacles are barriers established by others outside the office, facility constraints, and limited technological capabilities. The takeaway here is that we all face obstacles and, in order to move forward with innovation, we need to recognize and address these obstacles. We urge you to consider the obstacles your center faces and what steps you can take to minimize them in order to maximize innovation.
How do we capture ideas?If you have systems in place to document ideas from staff members, your office is more likely to take steps to implement the ideas. Only 53 percent of survey respondents indicated that their office has a system for capturing ideas from staff members. Notably, 67 percent of those who self-identified as more innovative answered that their office has a system, compared to only 35 percent of those who self-identified as less innovative.
The most common examples of systems used to capture ideas were meetings and suggestion boxes. While these systems are better than none, we wanted to dig a bit deeper to find other systems that may provide a new or more unique perspective. Other examples shared were: staff photo-journaling, staff white-boarding, mind mapping, and using a share document as an "idea parking lot." A related example is one in which directors allow staff members to designate a percentage of their time to idea creation.
Where do we look for inspiration?Based on our study, the top five most-used sources of inspiration and information by career centers are:
Social media and parents were two of the least used according to our study results. There appears to be a missed opportunity here, as we tend to replicate ideas from one another and be inspired by the most obvious sources of information. Instead, we should look to the unique and less obvious to point us to more creative solutions.
Where do we go from here?Our data indicates that, as a field, we can greatly improve in establishing processes that support our efforts to put innovative ideas into practice. We need better methods of documenting ideas, as well as finding ways to set aside time and, where possible, money for testing these ideas. We can expand our influences to help us create more novel solutions to the problems we and our stakeholders face. For example, career centers could allow individual staff to take a "sabbatical" to learn best practices from another career field, or take the entire staff on field trip outside of the industry to explore how similar problems are solved.
While the process questions in our study received the lowest affirmative responses, in some ways this is a positive thing. Comparatively, it is easier and viably faster to put processes into place than it is to change organizational culture or leadership. So, while it may take some intentionality and effort that has not been exerted in the past, establishing processes that support innovation should be an achievable goal.
Note: Part 5 of this series will examine the number and types of career center innovations that we, as a field, have been implementing.
Gary Alan Miller and Katherine Nobles work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They will present a session at the NACE 2013 Conference titled "Innovation in Career Services: A Study and Dialog." Results of their "2012 Study on Career Center Innovation" can be found online at http://innovation.web.unc.edu.

Designing for Magento
This is an old revision of the document!
A printable version of this page is available here Although still available, the pdf version is outdated.
Creating a new theme
How to duplicate a design theme
The first step will be duplicating the default theme folder structure so that we can always turn back the changes if we damage anything. Magento's default template structure is shown below, and there are two folders we must duplicate. Duplicating means creating a new folder with the same contents as the source folder. The simplest method is copying the folder from the original theme or duplicating it with an SSH or similar client.
Base folder structure:
- /app/design/frontend/default/default/ - theme customizations
- /skin/frontend/default/default/ - where design themes css and images are
Lets name the new template as new_theme. Then the new folder structure should look like this:
New folder structure:
- /app/design/frontend/default/default - default theme
- /app/design/frontend/default/new_theme/ - our new, duplicated theme
- /skin/frontend/default/default - is where design themes css and images are
- /skin/frontend/default/new_theme/ - our new, duplicated skins folder
Of course we don't need to duplicate the whole structure. If the required file is not found in the new_theme directory it will be taken from the default theme's directory.
How to setup a new theme in administration area
After duplicating the folders we need to switch the theme from the administration area.
Step 1. Go to System > Configuration > Design via the top navigation bar Step 2. Under "Themes" and in the "Default" text field, type: new_theme Step 3. Press the "Save config" button in the upper right corner
Adding custom stylesheets and js libraries (part I)
Any external stylesheet files (css) or javascript/ajax libraries (js) that we want to include in our new project must be also copied to the proper folders.
Stylesheets Copy the files to /skin/frontend/default/new_theme/css/ folder Don't forget to include any new css files in the styles.css file. We can do this by appending the following line as specified:
- @import url('new_styles.css');
- @import url('custom.css');
Javascript / AJAX libraries Create a new folder under /js/ named custom_js and copy your files to it. If you are using javascript libraries then this is also a good place to put the library files.
Using XML to change layout
With the use of XML we can change almost every aspect of our new_template. For example we can set an alternate column layout for particular pages, change META information, page encoding, block types used on each page etc. There are two XML files you will be modifying in order to manage these tasks, and the two files are as follows (this info is outdated):
- app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/etc/config.xml
- app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/layout/page.xml
The new place of config.xml is:
- app/etc/config.xml
Changing META section
The main file used to control values for META tags and other miscelaneous details is config.xml which is located in the /app/design/frontend/new_template/default/etc/ folder.
Below is a short description of every META tag and possible values:
- <title>Magento Commerce</title>
This is the name of our ecommerce site. This text will appear in the browser's title bar or the browser tab for the site. This text is also highly important for search engine keyword optimization.
- <media_type>text/html</media_type>
This is default page header encoding so we should leave this as is.
- <charset>utf8</charset>
UTF8 is a variable-length character encoding for Unicode. It is able to represent any character in the Unicode standard, yet the initial encoding of byte codes and character assignments for UTF-8 is backwards compatible with the ASCII table. For these reasons, it is steadily becoming the preferred encoding for e-mail, web pages, and other places where characters are stored or streamed.
Of course we can change it to any other encoding (ex. ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2) but there is no need as long as we're saving our files with proper UTF8 encoding.
More information about UTF8 is in the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8
- <description>Default Description</description>
The description tag controls the description meta tag and allows us to enter a short description about our site. It's often a way to get a nice description of your page to show up in the search results if your page does rank highly in a search engine. Your best bet is to write a succinct sentence or two that uses the keyword phrases that sum up the page content.
- <keywords>Magento, Varien, E-commerce</keywords>
The keywords tag controls the keyword meta tag and is the place to put the most important words that refer to the site content. Best practices suggest to enter no more than 500 characters in no more than 20 words for best results.
- <robots>*</robots>
The robots tag controls the robots meta directive and is a simple mechanism to indicate to visiting web bots and search engine spiders if a page should be indexed, or links on the page should be followed. The content of the Robots meta tag contains directives separated by commas. The currently defined directives are index, noindex, follow and nofollow. The two index directives specify if an indexing robot should index the page or not. The two follow directives specify if a robot is to follow links on the page or not. The defaults are index and follow. The values all and none set all directives on or off: all=index,follow and none=noindex,nofollow We can simply override Magento's default directive by placing one of the four following lines here, however it's not recommended. The options are:
- index,follow
- noindex,follow
- index,nofollow
- noindex,nofollow
The file config.xml also contains two additional tags, not connected with any meta tags but used as a default settings for every page in our shop.
- <logo_src>images/logo.gif</logo_src>
The logo_src tag sets up a reference to the logo file we wish to use on our site. The image logo.gif is located in the folder /skin/frontend/new_template/default/images/ so if we want to change it we must copy a new logo file to that folder. We can also create a new folder inside the images folder (ex. new_images) and put all our new files used by new template into it and change this tag appropriately. The easiest way to customize the logo it to simply overwrite the default logo.gif file with a new logo.gif file.
- <logo_alt>Magento Commerce</logo_alt>
The logo_alt tag defines the alt attribute for our logo image and is mostly used by screen readers or browsers with images disabled. If one of our customers uses a screen reader or has images disabled he will see the alt text instead of image.
Understanding layout XML files
Using xml instead of other methods (JSON, .ini files, include / require functions) allows us to change many aspects on our page without manually changing the .phtml files. This chapter refers to our default theme so after changing the theme (as we have done above) the paths will also change.
Layout / page structure
Your core Layout is defined by page.xml which is located in /app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/layout/page.xml
There are two large tasks layout carries out.
First it defines the visual layout for your store. By default Magento uses a 3-column layout, so it defines use of 3columns.phtml (Located in your template/page/ folder):
- <layoutUpdate>
- <block type="page/html" name="root" output="toHtml">
- <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/3columns.phtml</template></action>
If you wanted to change your store a 2-column layout, for instance, you would change the line above to reflect the .phtml you'd like to use (in this case, 2columns-left.phtml or 2columns-right.phtml).
- <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
More information about the action tag and associated methods is located in section d of this chapter.
Secondly it creates "block containers" filled with application data for output to your .phtml template files. First, if take a look at your standard 3column.phtml file you'll see it calls the method (function) getChildHtml() a number of times:
(excerpt from 3columns.phtml - Starting at line 56):
- <?=$this->getChildHtml('header')?>
- /div>

-

- <?=$this->getChildHtml('breadcrumbs')?>
-
-

- <?=$this->getChildHtml('store')?>
- <?=$this->getChildHtml('left')?>
-

-
Each of these references point towards the "block containers" defined in your page.xml and subsequent Module .xml files. You'll notice a container for the "left" column, for the "right", for "content", and other standard areas. It serves up output for your .phtml template files to use. Take a look at it:
- <block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs"/>
- <block type="core/text_list" name="left" as="left"/>
- <block type="core/messages" name="global_messages" as="global_messages"/>
- <block type="core/messages" name="messages" as="messages"/>
- <block type="core/text_list" name="content" as="content"/>
- <block type="core/text_list" name="right" as="right">
So basically your page.xml creates Data Blocks, your .phtml Outputs that data where you want it. Hence, the names for left, right and so forth in your .phtml.
Even further, Your modules will update the available "block containers" with more specific content. For example, you'll notice once you navigate past the front page and click a category the "Compare Box" appears. Once you click down further "The Layered Navigation" appears.
page.xml manages the layout and content blocks for all pages in your store, so all the updates you need to make to a page layout can be done from the page.xml file.
You're aware now that page.xml contains a handle called "<default>". The XML commands nested within the <default> layout sets up the default layout for the whole site. The subsequent handles(as listed in the top of page.xml), simply updates the default layout with the according layout for the page.
For instance, let's say you want a wishlist everywhere in your store, but you don't want it in the customer account pages. You'd simply locate the layout that makes up the pages, and unset the wishlist so it does not load in the account pages. Or if you want additional blocks to be called on top of the default layout, you'd assign it per handle.
- <layoutUpdate>
- <reference name="top.menu">
- <block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.topnav">
- <action method="setTemplate"><template>catalog/navigation/top.phtml</template></action>
- </block>
- </reference>
- <reference name="right">
- <block type="catalog/product_compare_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar">
- <action method="setTemplate"><template>catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml</template></action>
- </block>
- </reference>
If you read the code and think about whats going on it makes sense. <layoutUpdate> is UPDATING your code with new blocks. How does it know where to put the new blocks? Well remember in your default you defined "block containers" for left, right, etc. So when it says
- <reference name = "right">
it's telling Magento to insert the following block into the RIGHT column when you get into "Catalog" view. (Remember, its located at layout/catalog/) so it appears once you've entered the catalog section of the shop. It also defines a TEMPLATE for the new block to use, so for the example above the compare box has its own template located at catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml (in your template folder).
Reference name values/attributes:
As we've seen, the references can use different attributes for displaying blocks on our page. Possible values are:
- root - we will change it mostly to set up another .phtml file as a root template ex. (1column.phtml , 2columns-left.phtml ,2columns-right.phtml etc.)
- head - as this reffers to our  section on page, we will use this reference name to reflect our changes in this section
- top.menu - defines our content for top menu section
- left - defines our content for left column
- right - as above but for right column
- content - defines blocks placed in main content of our page
- before_body_end - is used to add a block before end of our page so before
There are more reference names that we could use but they are more page-specific than for global use for example:
- customer_account_navigation
- customer_account_dashboard
are used on our clients account page
product.info.additional - sets up additional block for placing related items, shipping estimator etc.
Action methods:
Action methods allow us to change many theme settings without appending manual changes to our .phtml files. The method listed in the method attribute refers to a method in the Model that is associated with the particular block in question. The most important methods are described below.
Action method setTemplate allows us to change the default .phtml file used in particular block. For example by navigating to app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/catalog/product/view.xml we can see the reference:
- <reference name="root">
- <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
- </reference>
and by using another <template> value we are allowed to change default .phtml file used on our products page. Possible values are:
1column.phtml 2columns-left.phtml 2columns-right.phtml 3columns.phtml one-column.phtml dashboard.phtml
As we see in app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/checkout/cart.xml , there also additional 2 values for empty and non-empty cart
- <action method="setCartTemplate"><value>checkout/cart.phtml</value></action>
- <action method="setEmptyTemplate"><value>checkout/cart/noItems.phtml</value></action>
- <action method="chooseTemplate"/>
The method chooseTemplate is used to set a template (setCartTemplate / setEmptyTemplate) depending on quantity of items in our cart. If we have more than 0 than the
- <action method="setCartTemplate"><value>checkout/cart.phtml</value></action>
is used. If we have no items in cart then the following will be used.
- <action method="setEmptyTemplate"><value>checkout/cart/noItems.phtml</value></action>
The function provided by the Model is shown below:
- public function chooseTemplate()
- {
- if ($this->getQuote()->hasItems()) {
- $this->setTemplate($this->getCartTemplate());
- } else {
- $this->setTemplate($this->getEmptyTemplate());
- }
- }
That should clarify how we can use this particular switch. Depending on our needs we can write custom functions in our blocks and than assign a template depending on parameters returned by a function.
This method allows us to add an additional CSS file to our page on per-page basis or globally for our template. If we use a reference name "head" and action method addCss by using
- <reference name="head">
- <action method="addCss"><link>style.css</link></action>
- </reference>
then our page will have an additional line of code to attach the CSS file, for example:
- <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://www.ourstore.com/skin/frontend/default/default/css/style.css" ></link>
As we can see, the <link> path refers to the /skin/frontend/default/default/css/ folder.
This method is very similar to the above but it will output a css file when a User-Agent (browser) is Internet Explorer or Maxthon. So using this method we can attach a specific css file for those browsers. This is very helpful if our page will requires changes in css dependant on a specific browser.
- <reference name="head">
- <action method="addCssIe"><link>style.css</link></action>
- </reference>
Output in page source:
-
The above method allows us to attach a .js script in the same way as we attached a CSS file. The script path refers to the /js/varien/ folder but we can change it to suit our needs. How is that done?
- <reference name="head">
- <action method="addJs">varien/script.js</action>
- </reference>
It will add a script to our page with src attribute of
-
-
-
As we see here , we can also use getJsUrl method which adds a scripts path to our src attribute. This should output http://yoursite.com/js/ so the source will look like the following:
-
-
-
Adding a css file isn't harder than adding a js file. We do this also by using a function that outputs a path to our skins folder.
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?=$this->getSkinUrl('css/styles.css')?>" type="text/css" media="all"/>
And the output will be
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://yoursite.com/skin/frontend/default/default/css/styles.css" type="text/css" media="all"/>
so getSkinUrl() sets actual path to our skins folder : http://yoursite.com/skin/frontend/default/default/
Opening .phtml files in Dreamweaver
By default, Dreamweaver cannot read PHTML files. You can add the file type to the "Open in Code View" section of the preferences if you wish to have fast access, however you cannot view the file in design view if you do that. So if you use Dreamweaver (versions 4, MX, MX2004, 8, or 9, aka CS3) to design your sites, and you wish to open Magento's Template files (they have .phtml extensions) in Dreamweaver, you can follow these steps to add support for .phtml and make Dreamweaver render PHP code (with coloring, hinting, et al) as well as allow you to see the design in code view if desired. Below are three steps to follow.*
IMPORTANT NOTES: This guide is for Dreamweaver on Windows (XP or Vista) or Mac OS X. Note: I have excluded version numbers from the file locations shown, and if you are using a version older than Dreamweaver 9 (CS3) replace "Adobe" with "Macromedia" in the file locations shown. Some spaces have also been removed to keep the references on one line.
* Dreamweaver 4 users: if you are using the archaic Dreamweaver 4, you only need to follow step one. However, it's highly recommended that you just upgrade to version 8 or newer for superb CSS and Web Standards support. Step One: Add .phtml to the extension.txt configuration file
Open the following extension configuration file in a notepad and change the lines as specified below:
XP, Vista: C:Program FilesAdobeDreamweaverConfigurationExtensions.txt Mac OS X: Applications > Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 > configuration > Extensions.txt In the first line add PHTML like so:
HTM,HTML,SHTM,SHTML, ... ,TXT,PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHTML,JSP,WML,TPL, ... ,MASTER:All Documents In the PHP Files line add PHTML like so:
PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHTML,TPL,PHTML:PHP Files Step Two: Add .phtml to extension.txt in your Application Data
This file is pretty much exactly like the extensions.txt file located in Dreamweaver's configuration folder, except it is in your users Application Data folder (AppData folder for Vista users). Just as in Step One, find the file and change the lines as specified below.
XP: C:Documents and Settings[user]ApplicationDataAdobeDreamweaverConfigurationextensions.txt Vista: C:Users[user]AppDataRoamingAdobeDreamweaverConfigurationExtensions.txt Mac OS X: Users > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Dreamweaver 9 > Configuration > Extensions.txt In the first line add PHTML like so:
HTM,HTML,SHTM,SHTML, ... ,TXT,PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHTML,JSP,WML,TPL, ... ,MASTER:All Documents In the PHP Files line add PHTML like so:
PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHTML,TPL,PHTML:PHP Files Step Three: Add PHTML to MMDocumentTypes.xml
This file is an XML file which should be located in:
C:ProgramFilesAdobeDreamweaverConfigurationDocumentTypesMMDocumentTypes.XML Mac OS X: Applications > Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 > configuration > DocumentTypes > MMDocumentTypes.XML Add PHTML to this line (approx. line 75) twice, like so:
- <documenttype id="PHP_MySQL" servermodel="PHP MySQL" internaltype="Dynamic" winfileextension="php,php3,php4,php5,phtml" macfileextension="php,php3,php4,php5,phtml" file="Default.php" writebyteordermark="false" />
Restart or Open Dreamweaver and you shouldn't have any problems with PHTML files any longer.

MODERATOR: (In progress) Raj Shah. I would like to offer the floor to Dr. Shah.
MS. NULAND: Good morning, everybody. As you know, this Saturday, July 9th, the Republic of South Sudan will celebrate a ceremony to mark its independence, culminating a six-year peace process. The U.S. presidential delegation to the ceremony will be led by our Ambassador to the United Nations, the Honorable Susan Rice. And the delegation will travel to Juba to attend this historic event today. We are very pleased this morning to have Ambassador Rice as well as several members of the delegation to talk to you about this trip.
I would like to thank Nancy Lindborg, Dina Esposito and Jon Brause for their efforts in organizing this important conference and administering the Food for Peace programs.
Thanks also go to Julie Howard and Tjada McKenna for their leadership of our new Bureau for Food Security and all their work in advancing the goals of Feed the Future.
This week is a very important week for the United States Government in both honoring Presidents Kufuor and Lula and in taking forward the United States Feed the Future Initiative, an interagency initiative led by Secretary Clinton, which includes all parts of the U.S. Government that have come together to reassert our leadership on food security and global hunger in a way that we hope lives up to the legacy and the demands of Dr. Norman Borlaug. During this week, we will have a consultation to get input and guidance from research institutions and universities from across this country, which will build on an e-consultation we've already done to hear, and we've had more than 2,000 comments come in on how we should prioritize our investments in agricultural research, science, and technology for the purpose of alleviating hunger and global poverty.
The defining story of the Arab Spring belongs to Mohammed Bouazizi, the young Tunisian fruit seller who set himself on fire, in protest of the humiliation he had received at the hands of local police.
In one act of desperation-a figurative explosion made literal-he reminded us that deep within every soul lies a desire for self-determination and its ensuing dignity. And he began a chain reaction that has changed the world we know.
But you know, the work we do in global development is at a really special and unique time. We've never had the chances that we have today to bring together the technologies, the innovations, the partnerships and the solutions that now exist to tackle extreme hunger, extreme poverty, the lack of health opportunity that exists for hundreds of millions of people around the world, and to do so in a manner that generates really specific results.
In that sense, the meeting that brought us to town, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, is just an absolutely outstanding example of, in my mind, the future of development policy and implementation. GAVI is an alliance that brings together private vaccine manufacturers, private philanthropists and corporate partners, governments from around the world to address a common goal – and that is the goal of making sure that every child everywhere has access to a basic package of life-saving vaccines.
Thank you for inviting me to deliver the keynote address at the Water for People Founders Award ceremony.
With the strong support of Secretary Clinton and the intellectual leadership of our friends in Congress and those here today, the President launched Feed the Future: an international effort aimed to break the cycle of food aid, famine and failed states in a select number of target countries. Thanks to strong bipartisan support from Congress, I'm proud to announce today, that in fiscal year 2011 our Administration intends to devote over $1.15 B on food security. The majority of that money-$950 M will be spent across all Feed the Future countries. An additional $90 M will be spent on strengthening our nutrition programming.
Male Speaker: Good afternoon and welcome to our Development Forum. Please take a moment to silence your blackberries and iPhones. Our program will begin shortly. Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen please welcome to the stage the administrator of the USAID, Dr. Rajiv Shah accompanied by Susan Reichle and Dr. Esther Duflo. [applause]

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

One look at Larry Trimmell's Camaro will tell you that this F-bomb didn't fall off a manure wagon. No, one look will tell you it was arranged panel by panel in the style of a handbuilt race car. Indeed, lots of small changes (shaved mirrors) and some very large ones (comprehensive structural modifications) signify this happy metamorphosis.
Larry, the 64-year-old Hutchinson, Kansas, orthodontist tells us, "I always wanted to build a number one car." One that looks as if it might rip your face off, we suspect. He says it happened like this: "I was honkin' down U.S. 50 for an evening shootout in Dodge City and stopped for fuel just outside of Zenith. The site was all but deserted; dust devils hovered, struck, and hovered again, scouring the hard pack and whipping my eyes with shrapnel. The sky was black on the horizon, surreal ... tornado maybe? When I was done at the pump, I heard rustling, then a dry, flapping sound, but thought it was just the wind playing a trick on me. I opened the car door to get in and right there was a turkey buzzard, hunkered down in the passenger seat.
"It cocked its head, flipping a gobbet of rot into the back seat. It glared at me with one speckled yellow eye and, as if in a dream, croaked 'We know about your Camaro addiction, Larry, and soon you'll be making the move to have one built. Forget all about that cheesy LS junk. You want an all-aluminum ripper to make a fantastic big-block. Get my drift, partner? Look at me. Look at me! I promise there'll be hell to pay if you are remiss.' A little while later, I guess it was, I woke up from a nap. It was as if that horror with the 6-foot wings had never been there at all."
Be it providence or a nitrous oxide flashback, Larry began to gather his thoughts on the impending project. What with all those night guards, bite plates, braces, and money to be made, he would certainly have to subcontract the work to experts. A year and half later, his low-down, road-scraping harbinger bumped out of Kenny Davis Hot Rods in Rogers, Arkansas.
But of course, it wasn't all that simple. The road to building this car was fraught with detours, switchbacks, and new beginnings. Before the 1969 Chevy Camaro ZL1 (a $5,500 roller) was turned over to the actual car constructor, Hagan Customs, also in Rogers, did a formidable job replacing everything (save for the roof and rockers) on the Camaro's wracked body. Larry's suggestion: "Begin with a builder like Kenny Davis, someone who knows the ins and outs of the national car show circuits and knows the people to contact to build the 'specials' for your car. If you're willing to spend this kind of money [amount unspecified] to build it, get the right builder." Also rely on one Mike O'Riley as the day-to-day project manager who would keep time to a minimum.
As instructed by the vulture, Larry went big-time with the engine, picking the all-aluminum Anniversary Edition 427 (No. 89)-the closest thing on earth to a bona fide ZL1. He couldn't escape the reasoning of the forged rotating assembly and moderate compression ratio (10.1:1), a platform that would respond equally well to forced air induction or nitrous oxide.
Though book-rated at 430 hp, this lightweight meteorite is actually closer to 500. He contracted Street & Performance in Mena, Arkansas, to port and polish the cylinder heads. Larry departed from the carburetor norm, supplanting the 770-cfm Holley with a Hogan's EFI intake manifold monitored by FAST electronics and fed by an Aeromotive A1000 pump. A Y-shaped air intake tract begins with K&N elements and sources cold air at the grille. The rest of the grunt maker is as factory, and now rated conservatively at 510 hp at 5,750 rpm and 493 lb-ft at 4,250 rpm.

When Dana Corporation, a supplier of vehicle componentry with a long history of technological innovation, decided to build a new research and development center, there was little doubt that the company would commit to a high-end, state-of-the-art facility.
An image of laboratories and technicians in white chemist's coats might come to mind. But it's important to note that Dana's 100- year reputation has been built in the manufacture of heavy automotive hardware, such as axles and drivetrains.
So its new R & D facility in Maumee, Ohio, which is now nearing completion just outside of Toledo where the company is headquartered, would require two key characteristics. First, it would require a state-of-the-art appearance befitting a technological center for an industry leader. Second, that appearance would have to endure some heavy-duty treatment.
"This will actually be a very abusive environment," says Wayne Burrer, project manager for the construction of the facility which is scheduled to be operational in the first quarter of 2004. "They'll be moving heavy parts across these floors, but they'll be doing so in a showroom quality environment. And we require that environment to stay that way."
Recognizing the benefits of single-sourcing, Dana partnered with Lakeside Interior Contractors, Inc., a Maumee contractor that has carved a niche by its diversity. Their expertise on this project meant that the versatile contractor would take on the tasks of metal stud installation, drywall, carpentry, acoustical ceilings, insulation, fireproofing, flooring and painting.
Seeking further single-sourcing, Lakeside and Dana brought in Sherwin-Williams, knowing that it could provide all the coatings products necessary for the project. These would range from premium, long-lasting interior latex ProMar 200 wall coatings from the company's architectural division to heavy-duty, low-VOC coatings used on steel, stairwells and handrails from the company's Industrial & Marine group. They would also include a highly durable floor system from Sherwin-Williams General Polymers brand that would be used in more than 70,000 square feet of the building.
Of the $3 million contracted for interior and finishing work, $600,000 would be dedicated to coatings and flooring.
"We've worked with Dana in the past, but on a job this size, I think it was more important than ever to have a supplier with whom we could work closely and write specifications," says project estimator Randy Deniston. "It also helped to have the name recognition of a world leader. Sherwin-Williams gives you that kind of credibility with owners." Lakeside's ability to take on several finishing tasks helped expedite the project, according to Deniston.
"Since we employ many of the trades here, there's no infighting. The trades aren't bumping into each other," he says. These include the painters, who were able to work efficiently while drywallers, carpenters and flooring installers were still on the premises.
Deniston says painting tasks were essentially broken down into four categories: exterior, interior walls and ceilings, miscellaneous and floors.
Even though Lakeside bills itself as in interior finish contractor, finishing building exteriors are a matter of routine for the firm. Roughly 40,000 square feet of concrete exterior was primed with a coat of Loxon Masonry Primer, followed by two coats of Loxon Masonry coating, all spray applied.
The Loxon line proved useful indoors as well, where concrete block was left with a pinhole-free appearance after application of Loxon Block Surfacer. The walls, as well as interior drywall in office areas, were then finished with a coat of Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200, a premium interior wall product from Sherwin-Williams Architectural Group. For the ceilings, Dana and Lakeside took advantage of the low-VOC qualities of Sherwin-Williams Waterborne Acrylic Dryfall.
Other interior surfaces, such as handrails, stairwells and miscellaneous steel, were finished with Sherwin-Williams Industrial Enamel.
Floors appeared to be the greatest challenge. Dana specified the General Polymers TPM 115 system, which requires laying a quarter inch troweled epoxy-resin-mortar base topped by two coats of a high-solids epoxy and one coat of a high-solids polyurethane. The system was specified in more than 70,000 square feet of the building - practically everything that wasn't carpeted office area.
"They wanted a showroom finish that was also a high-abuse tolerant system," says Deniston. "They needed versatility. We sat down with Dana and Sherwin-Williams and came up with this solution.
"It's an outstanding system. Our challenge was that we hadn't applied a troweled system in nearly so big an area before. We had only used it in secondary containment areas, plant chemical rooms or water/wastewater applications."
Sherwin-Williams sales representative Steve Montgomery, who specializes in the General Polymers High-Performance Floor Systems, was on hand to provide on-site guidance for Lakeside crew members.
"This system requires some expertise to apply," says Montgomery. "But in the end you get a finish three times the strength of concrete."
