Systems and methods for declaratively controlling the visual state of items in a report allow the visual state of any report item to be toggled from any other item. A set of declarative metadata may be associated with a report item. The declarative metadata may identify an initial visual state of the item, whether the item is a control item, and if so which other items are controlled from the item. The declarative metadata may further identify an initial visual state of a control image associated with a control item. Report processing software can initially display a report in accordance with the initial visual state specified in the declarative metadata. When a control item is activated, the software can change the visual state of identified items, as well as the visual state of the corresponding control image.

No. 10/400,734, filed on Mar. 27, 2003, entitled "Defining a Report Based on Data Regions and Including Custom Data in a Report Definition," and identified by Attorney Docket No. MSFT-1530/302616.1; and to co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 10/875,832, filed on Jun. 23, 2004, entitled "Systems and Methods for Flexible Report definitions Including Table, Matrix, and Hybrid Designs," and identified by Attorney Docket No. MSFT-3483/307869.01; as well as U.S. application Ser. No. 10/903,306 filed on Jul. 30, 2004, entitled "Systems and Methods for Controlling Report Properties Based on Aggregate Scope," and identified by Attorney Docket No. MSFT-3481/307871.01.
This invention relates to generating reports that display data, such as company financial data, using computers; and more particularly to flexible control over which items in a report are displayed.
In any enterprise, data regarding aspects thereof is accumulated over time. This data can be used to report the status of the enterprise. For example, with regard to a sales enterprise, sales data can be accumulated pertaining to each sale of a product, including the salesman, the customer, the region of the salesman, the region of the customer, the amount of the sale, the quantity of the product sold, the date of the sale, the date of the delivery of the sold product, and so on. Based on such sales data, then, it may be that a report is generated that details sales by year, by month, by customer by year, by product by quarter, by salesman by delivery date, by region by week, etc.
The data that populates a report will typically be accumulated in a data source, such as a database. A data source, as the term is used here, is a storehouse for digitally recorded data. In order to filter the data in a data source into properly organized columns and rows for a report, a report designer may specify, in a report design, the particular data that is desired from a data source. For example, a report designer might specify that he wants a "salesman name" in the first column of a report.
The report designer may then write a program that recognizes a field indicated for the first column of a report design (salesman name), queries a data source for all salesman names, and places them one after the other in the first column of a report. Instead of writing his own program to carry out this task, the report designer may use commercial software that provides this function. Such software may allow a report designer to simply specify, in a report design, a type of data he wants in the first report column. The commercial software will then automatically analyze the report design, query a database, and place the desired data in the first column of a report. This operation is also available in commercial products for any number of columns and/or rows of a report.
An exemplary report design is illustrated in
Exemplary report processing software for populating a report design with appropriate data is depicted in
Reporting is moving away from traditional presentation on paper to presentation on the display surface of Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs). This may be driven by an increase in the amount of data available for reports, which makes static paper presentation of reports less appealing. It may also be driven by improvement in the quality and availability of computing technology for displaying reports. In connection with this shift in report display, reporting is increasingly making use of dynamic, rather than static views. Dynamic views allow a user to interact with a report to control the data that is displayed, while static views do not allow users to control the display properties of a report. The traditional means for controlling the visual state of report items is illustrated in
The features
In exemplary
The status of control item 120 as an item from which the visual state of additional items can be controlled is traditionally represented by the small control image 130 within the control item 120. Such an image 130 may also be placed alongside a control item 120. This control image 130 indicates to users that performing an action on the control item 120, such as clicking on the control item 120 or clicking on the control image 130, will change the visual state of items directly beneath the control item 120. The image 130 is traditionally either a plus (+) or a minus (−) sign. The plus sign 130 indicates that the items directly beneath a control item 120 are not visible, while the minus sign 132 from
Further, if such drawbacks are to be resolved, the current report design technology does not offer an easily understandable technique for defining the relationships between control items and the items whose visual state is toggled from the control items—the toggled items. Those who use report design software to design reports are not necessarily advanced computer programmers. If the flexibility of report design software is to be increased, it should be accompanied by easily understandable techniques for harnessing increased design power.
In light of the drawbacks in the commercial software industry for supporting report design, there is a need to provide easily understandable techniques for designing reports that result in more freedom to control the visual state of report items, and to provide software mechanisms to support such techniques for designing reports.
Systems and methods for declaratively controlling the visual state of items in a report allow the visual state of any report item to be changed, or toggled, from any other item. A set of declarative metadata may be provided for various items in a report or region of a report. The declarative metadata may identify an initial visual state of an item that determines whether the item is visible prior to any user interaction with the report. The declarative metadata may also identify an item as a control item. It may further identify the toggled items that are controlled from a control item. It may also identify an initial visual state of a control image associated with a control item.
Report processing software can initially display a report in accordance with the initial visual state specified in the declarative metadata. When a control item is activated, the software can toggle the visual state of identified toggled items, as well as the visual state of the corresponding control image.
The report software can also calculate the toggle relationships in the report when the report is first displayed, and store this information in memory for later reference. An initial report snapshot can be generated which represents the initial visual state of report items. When items are subsequently toggled by activating a control item, information about the items whose visual state is toggled can be stored. This allows generation of further report snapshots, as the visual state of various items are toggled, by reference to the session memory and without the need to recalculate toggle relationships or trace the history of items that may have been previously toggled.
Certain specific details are set forth in the following description and figures to provide a thorough understanding of various embodiments of the invention. Certain well-known details often associated with computing and software technology are not set forth in the following disclosure, however, to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the various embodiments of the invention. Further, those of ordinary skill in the relevant art will understand that they can practice other embodiments of the invention without one or more of the details described below. Finally, while various methods are described with reference to steps and sequences in the following disclosure, the description as such is for providing a clear implementation of embodiments of the invention, and the steps and sequences of steps should not be taken as required to practice this invention.
The various aspects and embodiments of the invention can be understood with reference to
The invention is generally contemplated for use in reports, although it could be extended and adapted to use in many settings. A report is generally considered to be a compilation of data for display in columns and rows on a visual surface. However, reports may also include other data representations such as charts, e.g. the familiar pie chart, and graphs, e.g. the familiar bar graph. It will be acknowledged that the invention can be adapted to these settings, although it will be generally described here with reference to the columns and rows of a matrix and/or table.
The data in a report can be any data. A typical report may include financial data for an enterprise, such as gross revenue for the sales of various products, expenses associated with various products, profits associated with various products, and the like. Other reports may include customer information, such as names, contact information including telephone numbers, addresses, and email addresses, as well as product preferences, gross annual purchases, special discounts, and so on. A report may also be used to track employees, by compiling employee names, hours worked, accomplishments, scheduled vacation time, special needs, etc. These examples are a very small subset of the possible data that may be included in a report. Any data that humans may desire to compile regarding any endeavor can be placed in a report. Examples of actual reports are provided in the Figures at
A column of a report is a vertical band in which related report data is located. A column may be identified by a column heading in a top row of a column. A column may be divided into subgroups of columns, which may themselves be further be divided into subgroups down to any level of subgrouping. Similarly, a row of a report is a horizontal band in which related report data is located. A row may be identified by a row heading in a first column of a row. A row may be divided into subgroups of rows, which may themselves be further be divided into subgroups down to any level of subgrouping.
A report design is a template for a report that shows what data will be displayed in an actual report and the layout of the data. A simple report design may indicate a plurality of columns for a table, such as in
A report design may be generated using commercial report design software. Distinguish report design software from report processing software. The former is for designing reports resulting in a report definition file. The latter, as illustrated in
Report design software typically uses a GUI for graphically representing a report design. For example, report design software may present a designer with a number of empty columns and rows on a computer screen GUI. A designer may select any of the various columns and rows using a mouse or other control device. A designer may then enter data that is desired for a report by selecting from a plurality of menu options, or by identifying the data directly through typing identification information with a keyboard input. The information that a report designer enters using various input devices may then be stored in a report definition file. This file provides a compact representation of the report definition created by a report designer, and may be in any number of file formats, e.g. XML, HTML, .txt, .doc, etc.
Alternatively, report definition files may be coded directly, without the graphical aids provided by report design software. In this situation, a report designer familiar with the requisite syntax for a report definition file can simply enter such syntax using a keyboard. This approach may provide a designer with greater flexibility in designing a report, because he is no longer dependent upon the functions of report design software for his report features. However, it may also be less convenient and more susceptible to human error.
Declarative control over the visual state of items in a report may be implemented both through the GUI provided by report design software, or in the situation where a report definition file is coded directly. In the report design software scenario, a declaration may be made in the graphically represented report items, which is subsequently translated into declarative metadata in a report definition file. In the direct coding scenario, a declaration may be made directly by writing out computer readable instructions in an appropriate syntax.
A declaration can be any marking. Such a marking might be brackets, text font, text color, text point size, the presence of a particular symbol such as a star * , a letter (a, b, c, etc.), or the use of an identifying word, e.g. "initial visual state=on." The invention is not limited to the particular marking used to declaratively control the visual state of report items. Instead, the invention comprises the use of any declaration to flexibly control the visual state of report items.
In a preferred embodiment, the visual state of items in a report is controlled using a set of declarations in Extensible Markup Language (XML). Declarative elements or attributes can be defined in an XML schema or in an XML Document Type Definition (DTD) which will be recognized by report processing software. For example, an "initial visibility" element can be defined as an element that determines the initial visibility of a report item. If a report item has an element that declares, for example, "initial visibility=on," then report processing software can display the item in an initial presentation of a report. Further declarative control over the visual state of report items will be explained in connection with the visibility attributes discussed below. Those familiar with XML will appreciate that all declarations can be made as either elements or attributes.
Referring to
Declarative metadata 501 a-504 a may be included along with the other available data associated with the items 501-504 of a report definition file 500. Such declarative metadata 501 a-504 a can indicate a number of features for controlling the visual state of items in the report. Some such features are illustrated in
Referring to
The initial visibility declaration 600 may also be calculated from report data, as suggested in
Note also that toggle items can be at any level of nesting. Presumably, though not necessarily, all items nested underneath a toggled item will also become visible when a toggled item's visual state is turned on. In this regard, the such nested items can either be referred to in the declaration 601, or report processing software can be designed to recognize an appropriate visual state for nested items in this situation. For example toggled item 813 is a column header representing year data. When this toggled item has been toggled on by the control item 810, all of the items in the column (or as much of the column as currently available) can also be toggled on.
Still further, a declaration 601 can specify toggled items for both a toggle up and toggle down state. This concept is represented in
Extending the model presented in
Lastly with reference to
Similarly, the initial image state declaration 602 could indicate that a minus (−) image is to appear prior to any user interaction with a control item. If a report is designed to use control images in the typical way, setting a minus (−) image as the initial image state would indicate that toggled items are in an expanded view, i.e. their visual state is on. However, an advantage of this aspect of the invention is that the initial image state need not be used in the conventional way. A report designer can set an initial image state as he prefers. In this regard, an minus (−) image can be set as an initial image state using declaration 602, while the items toggled from the respective control item are set (using declaration 600) to an "off" initially visual state. This is the opposite of the traditional appearance of reports, in which a minus (−) indicates that subitems are visible. The ability to control the initial control image state 602 using declaration 602 provides somewhat more flexibility in report control and appearance than previous systems.
The flexibility allowed by providing declarative control over an initial image state extends beyond the typical use of plus (+) and minus (−) symbols to indicate visual states of "off" and "on," respectively. Recall from the discussion of declaration 601 that an advantage of the invention is that all toggled items need not be "off" or "on" simultaneously. Instead, a first set of items may be toggled off when a second set is toggled on. In this situation, the traditional use of the plus and minus symbols to indicate "all off" or "all on" is no longer appropriate. Declaration 602 allows a report designer to determine for himself which control image corresponds to the various available visual states of the toggled items. A plus (+) control image can be set as the initial control image state, while a first set of toggled items are set to be initially visible. Activation of the control image can then toggle the first set of toggled items off, while toggling a second set of toggled items on. This activation can also operate to change the control image state to a minus (−). Therefore, the plus (+) and minus (−) can correspond to display of different sets of toggled items.
Any images may be used as control images. For example, smiling faces and frowning faces could be used instead of plusses and minuses. The control image could correspond to the data that is displayed. For example, consider a report for a shipping company. When toggled items pertaining to nautical shipping data are displayed, a control image that appears to be a small sailboat may appear. When the nautical data is toggled off and land data toggled on, a control image may appear as a truck.
Furthermore, using the techniques disclosed herein, the potential visual states accessible from a single control item need not be limited to two. Any number of groupings of toggled items may be toggled through from a single control item. Control items can be provided that correspond to the various groupings, or sets of toggled items. Consider again the shipping company report from above. Instead of toggling between nautical and land shipping, a control item may initially appear as an empty box, indicating, for example, an initial visual state where all toggled items are off. Upon first activation, the control image can change to a sailboat, indicating nautical shipping data. A first set of toggled items corresponding to the nautical shipping business is displayed. Upon second activation, a second control image can appear, for example, a truck. A second set of toggled items corresponding to shipping by truck is displayed. Upon a third activation, a plane appears as the control image and corresponding data for air freight is displayed. Upon a fourth activation, a train appears and train shipping data it toggled on. Finally, on a fifth activation, all toggled items are returned to a visual state of off and the empty box appears as the control image.
A report definition file with declarative visual state parameters such as those in
In connection with compiling retrieved data into a layout specified by the report definition 700, various embodiments of the invention make use of features for report processing software 710 that differ from prior art software. In short, embodiments of the invention can calculate all toggle relationships in a report (illustrated in
On loading a report, a series of actions may be undertaken by report processing software 710 to provide a foundation for control of visual state parameters during the report display session. Exemplary actions are set forth in
Report processing software 710 may then calculate toggle relationships in a report 1001. This may involve determining which report items are control items. Control items can be declaratively identified as set forth in
Finally with reference to
The process that may occur when a control item is activated is illustrated in
Upon the occurrence of a user activation 1100, report processing software 710 may determine a current visual state of the toggled items 1101 referenced by the activated control item. On the first user interaction, the visual state of toggled items will be the initial visual state as described with reference to
On a second user interaction with a control item, however, some toggled items may have been previously toggled. Instead of recalculating all toggle relationships and toggle history for the session, report processing software can simply examine the session memory, as shown in
Exemplary Computing Environment
The techniques of this invention are intended for use in connection with one or more computers. In particular, report design products implementing the methods disclosed herein are likely to provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to assist in the use of declarative elements to specify the qualities of a report as taught by this specification. Such a graphical user interface and the supporting computing hardware and software is well known in the art, and the following brief description is provided to more specifically point out the features of such a system, without endeavoring to describe in detail the operation of well known and understood computing technology.
With reference to
It should be understood that the various techniques described herein may be implemented in connection with hardware or software or, where appropriate, with a combination of both. Thus, the methods and apparatus of the present invention, or certain aspects or portions thereof, may take the form of program code (i.e., instructions) embodied in tangible media, such as floppy diskettes, CD-ROMs, hard drives, or any other machine-readable storage medium wherein, when the program code is loaded into and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention. In the case of program code execution on programmable computers, the computing device generally includes a processor, a storage medium readable by the processor (including volatile and non-volatile memory and/or storage elements), at least one input device, and at least one output device. One or more programs that may implement or utilize the user interface techniques of the present invention, e.g., through the use of a data processing API, reusable controls, or the like, are preferably implemented in a high level procedural or object oriented programming language to communicate with a computer system. However, the program(s) can be implemented in assembly or machine language, if desired. In any case, the language may be a compiled or interpreted language, and combined with hardware implementations.
The invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, executed by one or more computers or other devices. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Typically the functionality of the program modules may be combined or distributed as desired in various embodiments.
Although exemplary embodiments refer to utilizing the present invention in the context of one or more stand-alone computer systems, the invention is not so limited, but rather may be implemented in connection with any computing environment, such as a network or distributed computing environment. Still further, the present invention may be implemented in or across a plurality of processing chips or devices, and storage may similarly be effected across a plurality of devices. Such devices might include personal computers, network servers, handheld devices, supercomputers, or computers integrated into other systems such as automobiles and airplanes. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to any single embodiment, but rather should be construed in breadth and scope in accordance with the appended claims.

Anthony Kim Was Disqualified From the HSBC For Altering His Driver
In golf, rules are rules, even if they are very, very dumb. Lucky for us Anthony Kim had a situation that reminded us how truly out there they really are.
At the HSBC Champions in Shanghi, Kim was swinging his driver around as he walked down a fairway and hit the toe of the club to a sprinkler. While nothing was initially seen as wrong, Kim pulled out his driver on the 8th hole and hit it a whopping 150 yards and out of bounds, something obviously bizarre for a long bomber like Kim.
At the eighth, he hit his first drive only 150 yards, and out of bounds. He then hit a second provisional shot - also poorly. He took a triple-bogey 8 on the hole and played two more before he found a rules official, who told him he must disqualify himself for playing with an altered club.
Kim was disqualified under rule 4-3b, said Andy McFee, European tour referee.
Yeah, that is stupid and all but golf rules are golf rules for a reason. Like I've mentioned before, when I used to play on the American Junior Golf Association the officials would carry around this dictionary sized situation book for all the possible scenarios one might encounter in a round of golf. While the rules of golf are thorough, they do not exactly make each situation crystal clear and this is obviously one of them.
While adding improper weight or a laser beam in the putter face might be illegal for obvious reasons, a ding on the driver that hindered the golfer shouldn't be a penalty or a disqualification.
This is the obvious time where I point, with much hesitation, to that old Rick Reilly column about the caddy error. Enjoy.

Hi my name is Jodi Foster; I am a mom, radio and TV personality, and now an Author.
My true paranormal story was featured on SyFy channel's Paranormal Witness, and called The Apartment. This true crime paranormal story is connected to a famous criminal, Cameron Hooker and his wife Janice. A sadistic lumber mill worker, and his wife who made national and international headlines during much of the eighties, and continues to be on the FBI's top ten list of abduction, torture and sex slavery cases in American History. The story is known as The Girl in the Box
It's been quite a journey to get here, and I am proud to see my book, Forgotten Burial: A Cry for Justice from Beyond the Grave published in February 2014. It is the first book of a trilogy.
The second book is: Forgotten Burial: It's a Matter of Perception. It will be available 2015.
This incredible journey realizes a promise I made to myself and the victims involved in this incredible story. TO TELL THEIR STORY, so that justice could and will be served.
Forgotten Burial is much more than a ghost story, it's a true crime paranormal journey of discovery.
I moved to 125 Parmac Road in Chico, California, in the year 2000. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined the terror and confusion I was about to experience: lights flashing, the hands of the clock turning, and my three-year-old daughter's toy, a "Sing and Snore Ernie" doll, mysteriously relocated to the center of my living room, screaming, "I feel great! I feel great! I feel great!"… And this was just the first night I moved in. The strange anomalies continued. This paranormal adventure introduced me to characters involved in an incredible and horrifying drama; the ghost of a missing college student, a seven year sex slave and numerous others connected to and affected by the terrifying couple.
When you have a paranormal experience, life as you know it will never be the same. Most people feel alone… crazy. We question reality, science, and our own sanity, then we question what we have been taught by religion. A paranormal encounter may not seem like a good thing as it is being experienced, but maybe it is simply a matter of perception. I encourage you to listen to the knowingness in the pit of your stomach: be a skeptic; pray; meditate and keep an open heart, soul, and mind as I share with you this amazing journey that has touched so many lives. This story might just change your perception.

Hold on to your Pinterest…
I've had a Pinterest account for a few months now, I logged in, saw how it worked, determined it's value for me and headed off. It wasn't for me (I have other tools to get the same effect). I've checked back in every so often as I get emailed when someone follows the three boards I made (one of which has nothing on it). This alone got me thinking about its potential and user base way before everyone lost their minds about it recently. Now don't get me wrong, I, like the next man (or not as the case may be…) am not against pinning or Pinterest, but the facts remain clear and context remains everything :
- The women to men ratio on the site is currently 9:1 (yet in the UK 56% are male per Google)
- In January it had 11.7m unique users ww (comScore)… 200,000 are from the UK (1.9m visits per Hitwise – not unique users just total visitors).
- 25-34 year olds make up 42% of the users in the UK, the largest group in the US is 35-44 and only grabs 24% share.
- 29% of the UK vs 3% of the US of Pinterest users in the top income bracket (educationally the breakdown is very similar across both territories).
- The average UK user spends 14 minutes 38 seconds on the site (Hitwise)
(Mixing data sources aside) Pinterest is one of those sites that so perfectly sums up (in my opinion at least) why a media agency is the best place to "own" (to use a hideously misused term/position) social media. Knowing the core demographic data behind Pinterest is step one (and key) to knowing whether your firm should be utilising it now, later or ever. Step two is knowing why they are there.
Pinterest traffic growth has been impressive (to say the least) but not entirely due to the "pure awesomeness" people are crowning it with. Simple sign-up and sign-in (using Facebook and Twitter logins) along with (some say) spammy email practices have all aided Pinterests' growth. The fact remains (gulp) people have curated information for decades. It's pretty, it's simple, it does what it says on the tin.
Step three is then figuring out whether your brand fits or can fit in with steps one and two in a meaningful way from both a user and business perspective. There will clearly be an eCommerce play but right now it's a somewhat murky area.
So, on to the recommendation bit, should you use Pinterest? Personally speaking, absolutely. Get to know the platform, see how it works and probably buy some stuff along the way(!). The business answer is it's just too early to tell unless you are experimenting. Remember, you can always find reasons to be on such a site but as (full disclosure friend/colleague) Darika Ahrens rightly points out experimentation costs money and not everyone has that luxury.
There are some interesting examples popping up but apart from PR value and immediate content sourcing opportunities it's too early to tell if these will drive the massive amounts of traffic (and hopefully sales) on a long term basis. There is also a tiny thing called Facebook Timeline for brands that has yet to be factored in as it does not exist yet (although it is coming).
For me, Pinterest becomes another example of the question marketers increasingly must answer : "Do you want to sell a thousand or shout at a million?". In the recession reality we live in, you have to ask two questions, 1) Am I/Are we doing everything else so superbly well I can afford to even further split resource? 2) Am I clear on how I am going to measure this to show a business objective has been achieved?
I doubt many can answer the affirmative to both, if either, of the above. So grab a pin, pop it in Pinterest and watch, for now.

Maui's dolphins still in danger of extinction despite New Zealand's protective measuresBy: Caillie Mutterback
August 07, 2012

Weighing up to 110 pounds (50 kilograms) with a length of 1.7 meters, Maui's dolphins are the smallest in the world. Their size is not the only thing that makes them unique; they are part of the only species of dolphin that has a round dorsal fin rather than a pointed one. They can also be easily identified by their distinctive grey, white and black markings and short snout.
Maui's dolphin—a subspecies of Hector's dolphin—are often caught and killed in the nylon gillnets and trawls used by fisherman in both protected and unprotected areas of New Zealand. Both Maui's and Hector's dolphin are listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List. The IWC's Scientific Committee has highlighted research indicating that current protected areas are too small to adequately prevent this dolphin bycatch, a danger that exceeds sustainable levels almost 23 times in some areas.
"The IWC has confirmed what scientists have been pointing out all along, namely that numbers continue to decline because only a small fraction of the dolphins home is protected against gillnetting and trawling," Dr. Barbara Maas, of the German conservation group NABU International that had published a report urging for the protection of these species. "New Zealand tried to deflect these criticisms by pointing towards a recent extension of the protected area for Maui's dolphins. Yet New Zealand failed to mention that these measures are merely temporary, don't include trawl fishing and do not apply to most of the dolphins' habitat. They therefore fall short of the IWC's directions and will not prevent the dolphins' extinction."
New Zealand measures, introduced under the Hectors and Maui's Threat Management Plan, will ban set nets along the Taranaki coast from Pariokariwa Point to Hawera and out two nautical miles. Commercial fisherman may only use set nets from two to seven nautical miles, and only if there is an observer on board.
But Rebecca Bird, manager of the WWF-New Zealand's Marine Program, says that it is "too little, too late."
Bird notes "this area should have been fully protected back in 2008 when the government introduced new fishing restrictions. Yet it has taken more dead dolphins, an obstructive legal challenge by the fishing industry and further evidence of a serious decline in the population before the government acted."
Concerned conservation organizations insist that the long-term plans proposed by New Zealand are not sufficient to protect the species from extinction. They are calling for immediate action from the New Zealand government that would ban the use of gillnets and trawlers throughout the Maui's dolphins habitat. Community members have responded by joining campaigns and signing petitions to show their support for the organizations and the importance of saving the small cetacean.

Twi-Hards Pretend to Be Engaged to Try on Bella's Wedding Dress
We're just a little concerned about Twilight fans.
First, they started biting each other to show affection, and now — as if that wasn't weird enough — fangirls are pretending to be engaged so they can sneak into Alfred Angelo bridal boutiques to try on a $799 replica of Bella's Breaking Dawn dress.
According to TMZ, these delusional ladies are not only driving employees nuts, but they're also negatively affecting business.
We can't imagine what will happen when the real dress, designed by Carolina Herrera, hits select CHNY boutiques next year.

For those who have asked, there are currently no plans to reunite the former tag-team "Kings of Wrestling" in WWE. For those unaware, Antonio "Claudio Castagnoli" Cesaro and Kassius "Chris Hero" Ohno worked as the "Kings of Wrestling" on the indy scene and in ROH. The duo teamed together at last Thursday night's WWE NXT taping, facing the team of CM Punk and Seth "Tyler Black" Rollins. The match was simply done as a special one-time only "treat" for the live fans in attendance.
Several WWE officials are high on Cesaro and feel he has the potential to become a break-out star within the company. This is part of the reason why they put the United States title on him at the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view. It's possible that we'll see some sort of acknowledgement of Cesaro and Ohno's past once Ohno is called up to the main roster but that remains to be seen. As noted, there are no plans to have the two form a tag-team in WWE.

Women's football is not new yet the input by women in the formulation of policies for the development of female football sports is still insignificant.
In Rwanda, the 'fairer sex' has seen only one female candidate contest for the upcoming football elections, as the head of women's football in the country, despite being widely considered as a 'man's game' in which women are seen as marginal.
Félicité Rwemarika who has spent the last six years in the corridors of the local football governing body, Ferwafa, has continued to scale her interest in Rwandan women's football; a reason why, she is the only female contestant set to regain her position not long from today.
Rwemarika believes the fact that women's soccer is not so popular today inevitably means that many women are anxious to contest for the position in the federation. However, the federation is eager to intensify all measures as far as promoting and developing women's football in the country is concerned.
Rwemarika adds that the reason why she is contesting in these elections is not because she is the best but because others are anxious and capable to execute the same tasks.
Given all the time she has spent in this position, Rwemarika says that there are many positive changes that have been achieved by women who have actively continued to pick interest in the sport for instance in coaching, leadership in their respective clubs, officiating and with time more is yet to be seen in prospect.
In Rwanda today, the number of women's football clubs has increased from 11 to 16 in just one year. Rwemarika who has observed such a rise says that, in future the women's football department will initiate a second division league where other teams can compete on leveled platform.
Either way, Rwemarika may boast about the changes as well as seeking an extra term in women's football, but some critics whose interests continue to differ believe she has not done enough for women's football in the country.
They believe a constant theme seems to run through women's football when it comes to sponsorship, drawing crowds larger than the players on the pitch, the national team preparations to mention but a few.
According to them, women's football has seen little press coverage in the Rwandan media and the input by women in the formulation of policies for the development of female football sports is still insignificant yet the country has achieved success in the promotion for the cause of women from within the Government and around Rwanda.
The national women's league was formed in 2008 and Rwanda remains the only country in the region with a viable league, but it still faces an avalanche of challenges related to funding for the clubs with most of its funding coming from FIFA.
Will all ill-defined attempts at promoting active involvement of Rwandan women especially in competitive football have had to contend with more problems like national team selection and coaching staff?
Last year, Ferwafa president Celestin Ntagungira commonly known as Abega subsequently promised that the national team which was last active close to four years ago would schedule to play an international match in July against the She Cranes of Uganda as part of the preparation or continental competitions later in the year with Kenya.
Ntagungira vowed in the past that, "the women's national team has got almost everything in place to start business including head coach Antoine Rutsindura who has been tasked to pick the best players in the country."
"We are planning to revamp the team, make it strong and ready to compete in African competitions starting with friendly games which will help them pick up form to be able to play at a high level," said Ntagungira.
That said, Ferwafa wrote to their Ugandan counterparts requesting for the friendly, however, the Ugandans did not respond.
In spite of the promise Ntagungira views "should be taken with a pinch of salt", the friendly game between the two female teams did not take place because of lack of sponsorship and until today, the national team has no head coach.
Speaking to Focus Sports, Rwemarika said, "There are three candidates who submitted their resumes for the post and the interviews have just been underway and the announcement will be made any time this week."
Rwanda's last competitive game was in 2009 against Uganda in the preliminary round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers which they lost 1-0 at the Regional stadium in Nyamirambo.
The She Amavubi of Rwanda will face a tall order when they tackle Kenya in the first round of the 2014 CAF Africa women's championship qualifiers during the weekend of February 13-15 before the second leg a fortnight later. The winner will proceed to the next round to play the winner of the Nigeria/Sierra Leone fixture in preparation for the CAF African women's championship that will be held in Namibia.
With such critics, much of the heat is off and Rwemarika remains the only figure running for the head of women's football seat, while so keen not to rock the boat. She is credited with developing the sport in the country by being the founder of the Association of Kigali Women in Football amongst other things.
"When we announce the national head coach, preparations will immediately start as the selection for players will be made from the clubs and schools. We are looking forward to improve women's football by training more coaches from different clubs to enhance on their capacity," added Rwemarika.
Save for nothing more than a bundle of promises that have been the same repeated old pledges from leaders in the sports industry, the vibe is so patronizing in women's football much as having a well-regarded player pathway and a strong talent development from the grassroots levels.
What remains interesting is where the road is heading for the Rwandan women in football, if the next titanic ship is to be captained by Rwemarika for the next four years?

It won't go away
The 2p rumour is still doing the rounds, people
are still bothering me. A man telephoned the other day (January 2005) asking
what I would offer for a few 'Extremely rare' 1970's Twopences with 'New Pence'
on the back. For some reason I found myself actually being polite to him, and I
turned him down fairly gently and revealed the truth.
For those of you that are still not aware, I'm
likely to turn nasty soon, so please read what I wrote on the subject back in
June 2003:
I have been getting quite a number of enquiries
regarding British two pence pieces (2 pees). It seems on Thursday 26th of June
2003 and then again on Thursday 6th November 2003, a Television Programme
(Trading Treasures, BBC1 late morning/lunch time viewing) stated that certain
Two Pence coins with the words 'New Pence' on the reverse are valuable.
To save more people writing in to ask me if the
coins they have in their pockets are worth in excess of £300.00 and not
the face value 2p, please let me put things straight....
The British 2p was introduced at decimalisation
in 1971. Because all the coins were new the Royal mint put the words 'New Pence'
on the coins. The coins remained with this wording until (and including) 1981.
The back of all Two pence pieces dated between 1971 and 1981 will look like
In 1982 the Royal mint decided that
the Two pence piece was not really that new anymore and replaced the word 'New'
with the word 'Two'. They also did this with the other denominations that were
introduced in 1971, the 'New Penny' became 'One Penny', and so on... So now from
1982 to now the back of the Two pence coin looks like this:
Without any exceptions all of the
1982 coins had 'Two Pence' on the back. However, and this is where the confusion
comes from, in some years of the early 80's no Two pence coins were issued for
general circulation and the 637,100 1983 dated coins that were produced all went
into special sets containing one of each coin from that year. In a few of those
sets the 2p coin was struck with the older ('New Pence' type) reverse by mistake
and is indeed very rare.
The 1983 2p Coin with 'New Pence'
on the reverse is the only rare coin, all of the others are very common and were
struck in very high numbers.
From 1984 to 2003 all of the
coins without exception have the 'Two Pence' reverse like they should.
So far, from the emails I have
received I can now account for quite a few of the extremely rare 2p's! One chap
even told me he had found 6! Now as far as I can work out the odds of finding
just one of the rare 1983 2p's are 1 in over 14,000,000 going by the mintage
numbers alone, the fact that all the 1983 coins went into sets, not circulation,
decreases those odds even further! So to find 6 in your copper jar should be a
one in 6,300,000,000 chance (six thousand,
three hundred million (or 6.3 billion if you prefer counting the incorrect
American way)). Now my maths is a little rusty, so please correct me if I'm
How can this be? Has a powerful
wave of hope, misunderstanding, the ability to pay 6 months of mortgage
repayments for 12p, the inability to find this page on my site (which has been
linked from the front page since June 2003!) and perhaps just a little ignorance
created a buzz across the nation?
A buzz so powerful, and
resonating at just the right frequency that it was capable of changing the
structure of solid bronze, turning millions of normal 2p's into 1983 2p's with
New Pence written on them? No! Hope, no doubt has played a part in causing
hundreds of people to email me and offer me their twopeneth worth, but the fact
this programme seems to have been mis-understood by so many has now prompted me
to contact the BBC to get a copy of it, watch it and find out if it does give a
wrong impression, and why it was repeated again 4 months after its first
In an attempt to make people aware
of how common 99.999% of two pence coins are, here are the mintage numbers and
values of all 2 pence coins from 1971 until 1989:
Lustre is the 'shine' you get on coins
when new. It gradually fades from handling and cannot be brought back
even with polishing (and you should never polish coins)

"Straight to Hell Returns" is a new version of the 1986 feature "Straight To Hell" written by Dick Rude and Alex Cox and directed by Cox.
The new release features digitally-improved violence and cruelty, six missing scenes, a new 5.1 stereo soundtrack by Academy Award winner Richard Beggs, and a new color design by cinematographer Tom Richmond.
Four hapless bank robbers bury their loot and attempt to hide out in a deserted desert town. But the town is not deserted. Feasting, song, sexual tension, and inevitable deaths ensue.
Norwood (Sy Richardson), Sims (Joe Strummer) and Willy (Dick Rude) are three black-suited killers-for-hire. Paid to murder one Mr. Greenburg, they oversleep and miss their target. To escape the wrath of their employer, Mr Dade (Jim Jarmusch), they head for the desert, robbing a bank en route. MORE
Dick Rude's latest film, Quit, is the tortured tale of a couple in the midst of their fight to quit smoking – and each other. It stars Diora Baird.
His 2006 film, Let's Rock Again! was a very personal and powerful close-up portrait of his friend, Joe Strummer of The Clash. The film received widespread acclaim and recognition.
"Straight To Hell Returns," a 1986 spaghetti western satire written with director Alex Cox, has just been re-released on DVD with enhanced sound and video. It is available from Micro Cinema DVD, a distributor of independent films. Rude left UCLA Film School to co-write and star in "Straight to Hell," which features such notables as Strummer, Dennis Hopper, Courtney Love, Elvis Costello, Jim Jarmusch and The Pogues.
As a producer and director, Rude has done several music videos. His video productions include music documentaries for Blonde Redhead ("Nothing Something"), Red Hot Chili Peppers ("Off the Map") and "LA Punk – The First Five Years" which was featured on the "Punk Attitude" DVD.
Dick Rude was born and raised in Los Angeles. His film career began at the age of 15 when he attended the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. As an actor, he has appeared in several films including "Sid and Nancy," "The Wild Life" and "Repo Man," which he also participated in as a contributing writer. Other writing credits include a pilot for Sophia Coppola, "Hi Octane," and an un-produced script commissioned by actor River Phoenix. More About Dick Rude

What a waste. Through 85 pages Stone didn't: A) get wasted on Scotch; B) pine for ex-wife Jenn, which usually leads to A; or C) lament a baseball career ruined by injury. In summary: don't bother.

One of the writers of the US animated series Beavis and Butt-head is one of the 18 authors in the running for the Waterstones children's book prize.
Geoff Rodkey, who penned jokes for the comedy show, and whose other credits include Daddy Day Care, is nominated in the 5-12-year-old category for his first children's novel, Deadweather and Sunrise, the BBC reports.
The book's story focuses on a thirteen-year-old boy Egbert nicknamed "Egg".
"Not that Egg's life was ever easy, growing up on sweaty, pirate-infested Deadweather Island with no company except an incompetent tutor and a pair of unusually violent siblings who hate his guts," the synopsis to the book reads.
He runs away and ends up on a pirate ship and that's when his adventures begin.
Rodkey's main rivals are the author of The Wolf Princess Cathryn Constable and RJ Palacio with Wonder.
According to Waterstones' James Daunt, quoted by the BBC, the shortlisted books are full of "great beauty, humour, intrigue, imagination and important things to say, but most crucially all are fantastically good reads".
The winner gets a £2,000 ($3,000) prize.
Rodkey penned several episodes of the Beavis and Butt-head show. The story of one of the episodes was based on a myth that a knocked down cow is unable to stand up. In Rodkey's episode of the show the unwitting teens are trying to bust this myth.

What are yours? For me, it was Dishonored for both. Blink makes that game way too simple on normal. I'm considering bumping up the difficulty. Also, while I love the world building and the idea of the art style, man does that game look TERRIBLE on 360, with some of the lowest resolution textures I've ever seen on this generation of hardware (the foliage in particular looks godawful).Thank goodness it runs smoothly and plays great, because otherwise...yeesh.

Crusader Kings II for both. Assassinated my two sons who were going to inherit a good chunk of my demesne due to some weird workaround because of shitty succession laws and managed to do a whole lot of nothing for ten years or so.
This game is sort of wilting, it is my first 'real' game, so I may have to start a new campaign. Might try my hand at Ireland.

Forza Horizon - Rally DLC is da shit!
Need for Speed: Most Wanted for both.
Got my 3 pro mods achievement for online multiplayer so now I'll never play that again.
I really don't see the appeal of the multiplayer. I think takedowns are fun in races, but don't see the point of them at meet ups. Plus I had all the SP I needed from single player so I didn't really feel any incentive to win races or get takedowns at meet ups. I think I'll go back to Forza Horizon for my multiplayer fix.
I had a blast with the single player though. The cops were pointless, annoying and a huge step back from Hot Pursuit but the races were all fun. I would have liked some miscellaneous challenges like drift challenges or jump challenges, but oh well.
Cook, Serve, Delicious! was the last game I played in 2012. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is the first of 2013. How's that for unconventional?

FoodRemindr – Helps you stick to your diet ($2.99) by dizajn.nl aims to help you stick to your diet.
These days, it seems like everyone is trying to eat healthier and lose some weight (summer bodies, right?). However, the task of keeping the right diet is hard to maintain, but FoodRemindr is here to help keep you on track.
To start using FoodRemindr, you're going to have to set up your own personal profile. No, this isn't an online account, it's just some information about yourself to make the app work for you.
Your profile will need your name and gender (first names work fine), situation, number of scheduled meals, and daily calorie target. Your situation will determine the meals and calorie target though, unless you already know something that works for you.
In FoodRemindr, the situation gives you four options: Underweight, Average, Overweight, and Bodybuilder. When you pick one of these, the scheduled meals and daily calorie total are determined for you.
Unlike other dietary apps, this one can help those that are underweight actually gain weight. It's not always about losing weight for some people, you know?
The scheduled meals are given default times, but you can edit them for when you usually eat. This is great for giving you the freedom to control and maintain your diet.
Since you may stay in the same situation or eventually change, you can always go back and edit your profile in FoodRemindr to reflect your lifestyle.
FoodRemindr will have four tabs at the bottom of the screen to help you navigate: Dashboard, Profile, Logbook, and Settings.
Once you have the Profile taken care of, you'll probably find yourself at the Dashboard. This is where you can see how many calories you've consumed for the day, meals you've had, and how long until your next meal.
A Summary view is provided to give you a totals and average for today, or the past two, seven, and 30 days. A custom summary can be created as well.
When you eat, the most important part of FoodRemindr is inputting the calorie information. This is done through the Logbook.
Tapping on a scheduled meal will allow you to input calories, saturated fats, proteins, and carbs, though the filling out all of these is optional. Calories is probably the most important one out of the four, so if you can't get everything, at least make sure to look for calorie count.
If you are eating the same meal that you've had recently, you can get the same counts from the previous entry by selecting "Pick nutrition from recent meals." If your counts are wrong, you can reset them.
For those times when you decide to eat earlier or later, you can select "New Meal" instead. Give the meal a name and do the same thing as you would with scheduled meals. You can go back to a scheduled meal and delete it, that is, if you're replacing it.
Consumed Meals in the Logbook will show the meals that you actually ate that day. The date in the top left corner allows you to navigate between previous and future dates, with a "Today" button to easily get back where you want to be.
Settings will allow you to adjust your profile (though this can also be done in the appropriate view), enable reminders, view a help guide, about FoodRemindr, and feedback/bug reporting.
Reminders can be enabled for on your meal time, or 15 and 30 minutes before. FoodRemindr uses local notifications.
FoodRemindr features a beautiful and smooth interface that will make logging your meals a pleasant experience. The wood grain background, gray toolbar with navigation animations, buttons, and fonts are all good looking and shows that a lot of thought has gone into making the app a nice experience.
My only gripe is that you will have to manually enter in calories, saturated fats, proteins, and carbs. There isn't a way to look up the information directly from the app — you will have to get this information yourself, which can make it a bit tedious for when you go out to eat (looking at nutrition labels at home isn't too bad).
Maybe in the future, some kind of database can be added to make inputting the data less of a hassle.
I still find this useful to remind me when it is time to eat, because while I work, it can be easy to forget.
The price seems a bit high at $2.99, and personally I think it would be more worth getting if the price were $1.99 or so. However, if you want an app to help you stick to your diet or improve it, this app can definitely help you out with that.

iOS device users can use iTunes to backup the applications and games installed on their phone or tablet. Windows Phone users can do the same using the Zune app. However, Android users don't have a tool or an app via which they can backup their applications, unless they have rooted their phone. If rooted, users can simply use Titanium Backup app to backup all their apps.
The problem is that not every Android user would like to root his or her phone since rooting voids the warranty of the phone, and sometimes it can be a tedious process as well.
However, non-rooted Android users can partially backup all their apps and games using MyBackup Pro. The app can backup all the user-installed apps, media files, games and much more. It is also capable of backing up call logs, messages, system settings, and keyboard dictionary etc. as well.
Sadly, it can only backup the APK file of an app, and not its data. This means that all the data of the app like the game progress, any app settings etc. will be lost when the backup is restored.
One nifty feature of MyBackup Pro is that it can backup all your apps and media online as well. While this might consume a lot of mobile data, it might come in handy for some users.
Here is how you can backup apps using MyBackup Pro on your non-rooted Android handset-:
- Download and install MyBackup Pro from the Android Market. The free version of the app requires root access and will not work on non-rooted phones. Non-rooted phone users need to purchase the pro version of MyBackup app for $5.
- Upon starting the app, users will be asked to enter their email ID and a new password for their online data backup account. Enter all the required information, and press done.
- If you want to backup your apps, select the Backup option, and then select the Applications & Media option if you want to backup all your apps or photos. If you want to backup your System data like Call logs, messages, phone settings, phone dictionary etc. then select the 'Data' option.
- Select where you want to save your data backup – On your phone's SD card or on the cloud.
- Now, in the next dialog box that comes up, select all the apps and or photos you want to backup and then press Ok. MyBackup Pro will then backup all your selected apps and or media files.
That's it! Now you can restore your apps using the Restore option in MyBackup Pro anytime you want.

Emotional Intelligence in Your Workplace
Emotional Intelligence – maybe you've heard the term, but what in the world does it mean? The short answer is simply being intelligent about emotions – yours and others'. The longer – and much more interesting – answer will fascinate you.
In the first session of this 3-part series, we'll discuss the idea of Emotional Intelligence and why interest in the field is increasing. We'll delve into how our behavioral styles can affect our levels of emotional intelligence.
In the second session, we'll take a closer look at emotions:
- What are emotions anyway?
- Are we even aware of them when they happen?
- Can we control them?
Then we will "look in the mirror" and begin to explore the first two of the four elements of Emotional Intelligence.
In the last session, we will investigate the other two elements – by probing how our emotions affect how we interact with others. We'll also discover the potential for improving our emotional intelligence, why it matters in the workplace, and why it might be challenging to do so.
Learning Objectives
Participants will learn and begin to master:
- An understanding of Emotional Intelligence and how it affects our relationships
- What part our emotions play in how we interact with others
- How to identify the elements of Emotional Intelligence
- Specific tips for enhancing Emotional Intelligence
Participants will also receive a helpful resource list for more information on the topic.
Who Should Attend
The use of emotional intelligence in the workplace can benefit every staff member. Less conflict and fewer hurt feelings lead to a more inspiring and productive workplace.

Congressman Tim Holden (D-PA) voted to deregulate the horizontal drilling industry, a process commonly known as "fracking," by voting for the "Halliburton Loophole" placed by industry lobbyists. The law exempted the process from the Clean Water Act, allowing oil and natural gas companies to go about their business with little accountability. In many cases, local communities have faced a variety of chemicals in their drinking water, some of them believed to be carcinogenic, because of the fracking boom in recent years.
On Wednesday, Republic Report caught up with Holden as he entered the Rayburn House Office building.
FANG: I know fracking has been a big issue in Pennsylvania, but you voted for the bill that basically deregulates it–
HOLDEN: Also had a lot of good stuff things in there for coal and weatherization–
FANG: — but the Clean Water Act. You voted to exempt fracking. Is that because of the contributions you received?
Watch it:
Oil and gas interests have provided Holden with some $400,000 in contributions over the course of his career.
