Brainstorming is commonly used for creative problem solving. When done well, the results are increased productivity and efficiency, and most importantly, a problem gets SOLVED. Do organizations make good use of this technique? What are some of the best practices?
We need your inputs and opinions for the October edition of The New Face of Leadership.
We will collate and report results for multiple choice questions. The last question is an optional short essay opinion question. We will feature selected responses to this question (about 250 words + digital photo and short byline) in the opinion column Based on Your Experience.

Pay only goes so far. Higher salaries are like the bigger house syndrome: Move into a bigger house and initially it feels roomier, but after awhile larger becomes the new normal.
Employees don't automatically perform at higher levels if wages are higher because commitment, dedication, and motivation are not based on pay. No matter how high the salary, if you treat employees poorly they won't care — about their jobs or your business.
Here are eight reasons employees don't care:

There are two types of mentoring relationships: formal and informal. Informal relationships spring up independent of the organization. Formal mentoring programs are assigned by the company and may factor in the person's experience, job duties, potential career path, race/gender/ethnicity/orientation/disability or personality. Their goal is to promote employee engagement and talent development.
Several studies show that women, Blacks and Latinos in particular leave corporate America because they feel they won't get promoted and that opportunities are limited. These studies find that formal mentoring programs are one of the most critical ways of retaining these employees and helping them develop in leadership roles.
A few examples: Latinas and Black and Asian women cite a lack of mentoring as the greatest barrier to corporate success. Catalyst's "Women of Color in Corporate Management" survey found that 48 percent of them cited "not having an influential mentor or sponsor" as their greatest impediment, while 33 percent cited "lack of role models in my racial/ethnic group."
A University of Pennsylvania study of more than 1,000 randomly selected employees at a large tech company over five years found that those enrolled in mentoring programs (as both mentors and mentees) were promoted at six times the rate of those who were not enrolled. And those in the mentoring program had retention rates of 72 percent on average, compared with 49 percent for those not in the program.
A National Black MBA Association survey of 2,875 Black managers found that they valued mentoring at almost double the rate of effective performance feedback.
Best Practices
Cross-cultural formal mentoring programs are increasingly used by companies in The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity®. Five years ago, only 18 percent of managers at DiversityInc Top 50 companies were in formal mentoring programs. Today, that has increased to 39 percent.
Consider these statistics from the DiversityInc Top 50 on mentoring:

Donald Fan is senior director in the Office of Diversity at Walmart.
In a recent State of the Union address, President Barack Obama mentioned the word "innovation" nine times, more than any other president ever has, according to Fareed Zakaria. This highlights a key point that in this new era, rife with volatility and ambiguity, innovation is critical in sustaining organic growth and securing success in a globally competitive environment. We know that there exists a strong connection between innovation and diversity and inclusion; our challenge is to help our leaders and fellow professionals understand that connection. By exploring scientific research, corporate practice and personal observation, this article aims to connect those dots. While business lore tends to link innovation with a creative drive that is exclusive to the top and brightest talent, true innovation thrives in an inclusive culture that values diverse ideas, leverages unique perspectives and invites everyone to achieve collaborative breakthroughs across the entire organization.
A Diverse Workforce Is a Valuable Source of Innovation
The vital foundation for innovation derives from a diverse workforce. Diversity of talent, by definition, provides more ideas and perspectives into driving for the best business solutions. Diversity becomes a valuable resource for innovation through a diverse workforce that reflects today's marketplace through consumer insights and "wisdom of the crowd" that can lead to creative betterment.
People see problems and solutions from different perspectives. These perspectives are accompanied by the heuristics that define how individuals search for solutions.
When confronted with a problem, we encode our perspectives and then apply our particular heuristics to explore new and better resolutions. Diverse teams often outperform teams composed of the very best individuals, because this diversity of perspective and problem-solving approach trumps individual ability.
Research confirms that diversity is a valuable resource for innovation. Prof. Ron Burt of the University of Chicago conducted an empirical study indicating that people with more diverse sources of information generate consistently better ideas, as the graph below mentions.
In the graph, the vertical axis shows management assessments of a series of employee ideas related to supply-chain management. The horizontal axis measures the level of diversity in an employee's internal connections. As you move to the right, you see employees who are more insular in their connections. They lack diversity of input in their day-to-day world.
The graph indicates that higher diversity of connections also translates to the perception of higher quality ideas, which is a fundamental component of innovation.
Many companies today are becoming more intentional about leveraging diversity to spur innovation.
For example, Walmart continues to build a diverse global workforce by recruiting world-class talent through creative approaches, such as the Junior Military Officer recruiting program and the Women in Retail initiative, and through increased community and campus outreach efforts.
An Inclusive Culture Is an Incubator for Innovation
In addition to cultivating a diverse workforce, we must also foster an inclusive work environment where creative ideas can germinate and grow. Common characteristics of an inclusive work environment include:
BELIEF: Trusting and empowering employees to make a difference in continuous business improvements
ATTITUDE: Respecting a predisposition toward collaboration and diversity of thought
KNOWLEDGE: Knowing how to think creatively to solve problems and capture opportunities
BEHAVIOR: Valuing and leveraging differences
Walmart strives to build an even more inclusive culture to connect and engage the associates by encouraging them to bring up more intelligence, insight, imagination and intuition to solve complex business problems and to serve customers better. This inclusive culture serves as an incubator for creative thinking through the following efforts:
1. Developing Mavericks (Freedom of Thought)
Constructive mavericks have the vision and passion to pursue an idea and bring it to fruition. They challenge convention and initiate new ways to solve problems. At Walmart, leaders are empowered to be catalysts through mentoring and sponsorship programs and other developmental opportunities that provide avenues for associates to unlock their full potential.
2. Advocating Collaboration (Cross-Pollination)
Break silos by inspiring people with different backgrounds and experiences to share their unique perspectives and work in different functional areas. Becoming a matrix organization, Walmart spurs on the horizontal flow of skills and information transcending functional areas. Cross-functional projects, enriched career opportunities and global assignments are examples of the company's commitment to developing associates through collaborative opportunities and roles that expand their knowledge and experiences.
3. Swimming Upstream (Ingenuity)
Challenge conventional wisdom by going the opposite way. This can elevate the opportunity for success, simply because little energy is currently invested there. A freedom from conventional thinking can unleash a pleasant surprise and unexpected amazement, similar to the Zen principle of "Breaking from Routine." For example, when Walmart founder Sam Walton first pitched his idea to start a chain of discount stores in small rural communities, he was told the idea would never work. Walton responded by forming a dedicated team with different backgrounds and capabilities that complemented each other, who, through collective endeavors, turned the idea into an unprecedented business success.
4. Strengthening Cultural Intelligence (Competency)
In today's global economy, it is essential to build cultural intelligence in order to succeed and lead in innovation. While examining what neuroscience is revealing about the difference between individuals and businesses that succeed and those that fail, Prof. Ying Yi Hong and Dr. David Livermore introduced the Four Cultural Intelligence (CQ) capabilities at the 2010 NeuroLeadership Summit: When we seek to strengthen cultural competencies, we advance the effectiveness, creativity and adaptability of today's culturally diverse workforce. Efforts such as cultural-heritage celebrations, offering cultural-assessment tools, cross-country leadership summits and cultural-competency training all contribute to strengthen cultural intelligence.
CQ DRIVE (Motivation)
Our level of interest, drive and motivation to adapt cross-culturally. Be curious and seek differences.
CQ STRATEGY (Meta-Cognition)
Our level of awareness and ability to plan in light of our cultural understanding. Draw a blueprint of how to leverage differences.
CQ KNOWLEDGE (Cognition)
Our level of understanding about cultural issues. Take time to understand the merits of differences and shared values.
CQ ACTION (Behavior)
Our level of adaptability when leading and relating cross-culturally. Look for innovative breakthroughs by embracing differences.
5. Enabling New Ideas (Outcome)
Create an environment where great ideas can surface and grow. Walmart uses different channels to solicit ideas, including a monthly Town Hall Meeting hosted by the CEO, an annual Associate Opinion Survey, an Open Door process and more. The ability to act on diverse ideas has shaped the growth of the company and helped customers save money and live better. A couple of game-changing examples include:
Money Center Walmart offers millions of unbanked and underserved customers a series of low-cost financial services through in-store Money Centers (check cashing, bill payments, money transfers, MoneyCard, etc.)
Direct Farm This global program focuses on driving agricultural sustainability. In 2010, Walmart China successfully engaged more than 470,000 farmers in the Direct Farm program. Additionally, the company endeavors to reduce produce waste by 15 percent while upgrading 15 percent of Direct Farm program products from Green to Organic certified; and to increase participation rates to 2 million Chinese farmers by the end of 2015.
'Fertile Soil for Seeds of Innovation'
Steve Jobs said, "The source of wealth and capital in this new era is not material things … it is the human mind, the human spirit, the human imagination and our faith in the future." When we enlighten and inspire our people to harness their creativity to generate value in an inclusive culture, we nurture fertile soil where seeds of innovation can blossom into opportunity of sustained future growth.

Innovation is like motherhood; everyone worships it, but it's surrounded by a lot of mystique and bogus intellectualizing. The first step on the way to inspiring innovation is to ruthlessly expunge the romantic myths that surround it — they often stop us from seeing the fresh ideas that are right in front of us. Here are four of the biggest myths about innovation, along with tips for seeing your way around them:
Myth #1: Innovation Involves Quantum Leaps. According to this myth, innovation must be transformative. The PC was a quantum leap innovation, as were the printing press and the automobile. But there aren't many of these. Furthermore, quantum leaps typically involve high costs and huge risks. Think Sinclair C5 or the Segway. Both required changes in consumer behavior that didn't happen.
The better alternative? Think constant, incremental improvement. Think about the iPhone 4. How many avid purchasers really needed to edit video on the fly? Loyalists bought the phone because Apple has made its customers fall in love with upgrades. Or, in this economy, simply finding ways to make your products more cheaply may be innovation enough.
Myth #2: Only Geeks May Apply. We're constantly told that engineers are the only people who make important innovations. But there are many other sources of ideas. If you're good at noticing social change, you might invent comfortable clothes that transition effortlessly from work to dinner, like Eileen Fisher. If you understand the green revolution, you could make new products from old ones, like Preserve Products. In the UK, Yo Sushi owes as much of its success to the growing number of business people eating alone as it does to its food. Innovators are people who pay attention, not just geeks cooped up in cubicles. (For ideas on this front, stay tuned for my next post.)
Myth #3: Innovation Requires Off-Sites with Geniuses. Much has been written about Nathan Myhrvold's Intellectual Ventures, the company he started after retiring from Microsoft. He gets all his super-smart pals to read scientific papers and then convene to solve Big Problems. So far, they've filed over 500 patents — but where are the businesses? Ideas are cheap, functional companies and real products are hard. Or, as Steve Jobs said, "real artists ship."
Forget the geniuses; give thinking time to your staff instead. W.L. Gore, the maker of Gore-Tex fabric, requires that all employees spend half a day each week working on their own new ideas or helping with someone else's. Are you prepared to be that serious about innovation?
Myth #4: Innovators Are a Special Breed. According to this myth, to be innovative, you need to hire an innovator with a track record. But beware: just like stocks, past performance is no guarantee for the future. Even Steven Spielberg has made flops. The romantic belief in the power of individual creative geniuses won't make you smart, it will make you dependent. You'll do better to cultivate creativity as a process. Oh and by the way: your customers are fantastic sources of ideas, if you know how to talk to them.
If you work from the assumption that every person in your business is capable of having a good idea, then you have to ask yourself a serious question: What is stopping that idea from contributing to your business? It may be mythology. It may be processes. It may be individuals. It might even be you. What are you going to do about that? Where are your next ideas going to come from?

1) Citizen Kane, the story of newspaper tycoon, Charles Foster Kane, one of the richest men in the world. The film tells his story through a series of flashbacks from the people closest to him. The movie details his trail to fame and then his ultimate fall from it. Citizen Kane is a must see for CEO's and executives, with guidelines on how to stay at the top.
2) Inside Job. Follows the true story of what caused the global financial crisis. The crisis is still affecting most of the world so this is the movie to see for CEO's, executives and everyone else. It is the product of extensive research and interviews about the issue. The tagline of the film is blatantly, "The film that cost $20,000,000,000,000 to make.
3) The Godfather . If it's the family business you are in, then The Godfather is the movie for you. And if it is not it's still a great flick. Sometimes business is about morals and values. Don't think you can forget those, even if your business is not as scandalous as murder.
4) The Godfather II, for all the reasons mentioned in The Godfather, except two movies from the same great story line.
5) Wall Street. The original or the recent remake, Wall Street: Money never sleeps. Although some say the first was better, both are movies to see if you're a CEO or executive especially in the stock market. This movie displays the shady side of getting into the stock market which makes a great plot.
6) The Social Network is a more recent movie focusing on the social-networking website giant, Facebook. The story follows founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg on his journey from his college years to present day becoming the youngest billionaire in history. A definite must-see for young entrepreneurs who think their dorm room ideas are not worth pursuing.
7) Office Space. On a lighter note, office space is a comedy about a office workers who hate their jobs. All CEO's and executives have employees below them, so why not make sure they aren't miserable and planning to plot against you.
8) Working Girl. For all the females succeeding in the business world, working girl tells the story of a secretary who one day hopes to be an exec, only problem is she doesn't have the outlet to do so. With her boss injured from a skiing trip she pretends to be her and tries to form a business deal. This is the film to see for anyone still trying to make it up the ladder, or for those who have already succeeded in doing so.
9) The Corporation is a documentary of the concept of a corporation. Pretty much self explanatory, the film takes a look at what the business corporation model once was and how it has transformed through a series of case studies.
10) Too Big to Fail also examines the financial crisis of 2008. The center of the film is Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and other top players in the financial world at the time Lehman Brothers was in need of an intervention. It continues with the bailout of Lehman Brothers and an attempt to save the U.S. economy.

There are a multitude of rewards programs that encourage customer loyalty. What about the other side of that transaction -- the outstanding employee? How well do organizations do when it comes to recognizing and encouraging the best and brightest? Saying "good job" or "well done" is certainly the least that should be done--is it enough?
We need your inputs and opinion for the September edition of The New Face of Leadership. Questions 3-7 are multiple choice and we will collect and report the results in tabular or chart form.

Dear Family and Friends,
For over 40 years, people have known that I would do what I promised unless the funeral director had me!
This is due to my beloved cards, one for each day of the week that I have used for over 63 years. (I wasn't always as careful in the earlier years!)
This involves two things:
1. Immediately writing down on my cards what I promise to do!
2. Writing down any stray or random thoughts so that I can remember them later and do them (or later to decide not to do them in the cold light of day)!
These two ideas have resulted in satisfaction for me and faithfulness toward others!
It is so simple, you just have a 3 X 5 card for every day in the week and a year long calender cut down to the size of the 3 X 5 cards (if you have not noted it down before where to get it at Office Depot, it is DayMinder AY53, Academic Calender July 2011-August 2012) and always carry a pen (Office Depot sells two collapsible pens that fit in your rear pocket for $6.)
What freedom never to have to say that you are sorry as you fully intended to do something, but simply forgot!!!

Former Monroeville manager McKinney files suit, claims unfair firing
Former Monroeville manager Lynette McKinney filed a lawsuit against the municipality saying council's action last month to fire her was "unreasonable and arbitrary."
The complaint seeking declaratory judgement filed last week requested that an Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas judge determine whether McKinney, 47, legally is entitled to $44,000 of severance pay, $29,000 in benefits such as sick days and vacation days, and legal fees associated with the lawsuit.
Council denied McKinney a severance package because she was removed "with cause," Monroeville solicitor Bruce Dice said.
But the ordinance drafted to remove her doesn't specify one charge against her, said Forest Hills attorney Jack Cambest, who is representing McKinney.
"We're saying the ordinance is vague and unconstitutional," Cambest said.
And the terms of McKinney's former contract that address severance pay also are vague and therefore invalid, according to the lawsuit.
McKinney's contract reads that she would not receive severance pay if she is "found liable for (an) intentional act relating to the performance of her duties."
Her lawsuit said the contract does not state who must find her liable or what constitutes an intentional act relating to the performance of their duty.
Dice argued that while specific charges were not included with the ordinance to remove McKinney, the charges were read aloud at the same public meeting and therefore are valid.
Charges read aloud at the Jan. 6 meeting included failure to conduct evaluations of department heads and failure to provide information about an ongoing internal investigation of the computer dispatch system to three members of council.
Dice cited section 704 of the Monroeville Home Rule Charter that reads the removal of a manager "shall not be subject to review by any court or agency."
"(The HRC) was passed by the people, not by some council," Dice said.
If McKinney is denied a court hearing or if a judge rules against her, she would not receive a severance package — according to the terms of her former contract.
After council members removed McKinney, they appointed former Monroeville manager Tim Little as the interim manager.
Mayor Greg Erosenko said last week he is confident that council eventually will name Little as the new manager.
"There's no movement on that," Erosenko said. "But I'm sure that will change in the future."
McKinney, a longtime municipal employee, was named manager in 2013.

Name Your Price, Get Online Answers & Help - Just Answer!!!!!!! GM BULLETIN #PIP4526!!! Go to a GM dealer and ask them to print out this bulletin for you and do the repair. I had to order the hose (special kind) from a distributor of the supplier listed in the bulletin-$6 a foot x 3 ft (more than enough) + shipping, use standard hose clamps from a local autoparts store-2 clamps on each end of the hose.
When my husband got under the truck and looked at the section down by the tranny there were 2 spots in this 1.5 ft area that were soft and collapsed, replaced the section per the bulleting last night, went thru Jellico Mountain today with a camper like usual and the code DIDNT set.
What happens is after the hose gets good and hot (4-6 hrs driving), it softens and then collapses when you put the truck under pressure with a load---this cannot be duplicated in a shop with any testing due to special circumstances---unless someone is gonna hang underneath your truck while you drive down the road and watch to see if it collapses (LOL), which is why no one can figure out this problem. The $50 for the parts is worth the try...worked for us.
If anyone has any questions you can email me at "email@example.com"...I will be more than happy to help. I would like to thank Hal at Eisinger Chevrolet in Columbia Falls, Montana for leading me to this bulletin for the fix!!!
(this bulletin actually has pictures of where the hose sections are located but they wouldnt transfer onto here, so have a GM dealer print it out for you)
#PIP4526: Diesel Engine Fuel Line Repairs - keywords DTC hose kink loss P0087 P0093 P1093 pipe power reduced repair restrict restriction SES suction supply vacuum - (Nov 7, 2008)
Subject: Diesel Engine Fuel Line Repairs
Models: 2001-2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic
2001-2007 GMC Sierra Classic
2007-2009 Chevrolet Silverado
2007-2009 GMC Sierra
Equipped with the 6.6L Diesel Engine RPO codes LB7 LBZ LLY LMM
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
A dealer may need to perform a repair on the rubber portion of the fuel supply (suction) lines. The rubber section of the line could become kinked or collapse. Fuel lines that kink or collapse may induce a fuel system restriction (high vacuum gauge readings) or DTCs P0087, P0093, and/or P1093 to set.
If a technician was to suspect the rubber portion of the fuel feed line collapsing or kinking, replacement of only the rubber line is acceptable.
Complete the steps below to repair the rubber section of fuel supply line:
Carefully cut, split, and remove the OEM crimp from both ends of the flexible hose. These crimps can be cut with a small cut-off wheel. Split the crimp into two pieces (use your discretion on first cut location, then cut directly across from, or 180 degrees from first cut). Special care must be taken not to damage the flare on the end of the steel pipe that will be reused.
Remove the OEM crimps and flexible portion of hose from the existing supply line.
If replacing the rubber section of the supply line, a 1/2 ID hose meeting SAE specification 100R3 is suggested. Dealers may be able to find a local supplier for this hose, or can contact the manufacturer Parker Hannifin. The replacement hose would be a 1/2" diameter Parker part number 601-8 or H017-8. To find a local distributor the Parker website can be accessed at Please wait while we redirect...
Use worm type hose clamps (use double clamps on each end) to attach the replacement hose to the existing pipe.
The locations of the flexible hoses are pictured below.

Need Some Help with this!
For the past few weeks my truck (2006 LBZ) has been taking longer than normal time to start and has gotten worse in the past two days. Well two days ago under normal driving conditions (no load or anything) I get DTC P0087. Once the engine light was on i couldn't rev up more than 2k rpm (in park or while driving). i cleared the code with my tuner and not two seconds later it was back. at first i was thinking it was my fuel filter since it was about time to change it. Well i changed the fuel filter today and then went for a test run. I first cleared the code before taking off. once i got to not even half throttle the dtc was back. it feels like it's not getting enough fuel and is being restricted. when i got back i turned the truck off and when i started it back up it didn't take as long as it did before i changed the filter. also there is a little bit of black smoke coming out the exhaust when at idle. I have it on stock tune.
Could this be due to those hoses collapsing, bad injectors, bad fuel, or what? Can someone please give me some insight on this.

bad fuel and a boofed WIF sensor did it to mine....i would try draining the tank, replacing the wif sensor and fuel filter...if not try the hoses, or hell try all the solutions....bad fuel caused my issue too....if you run bad fuel too long you take a chance on killing injectors.

Glad I saw this. Havent thrown any code for a long time, then last 2 trips while pulling a trailer up hills truck threw the 0087. Just as you described, longer trip after pulling over 6 hours non stop and on hills. fuel temps at the time of the 0087 were 125+ so I know the fuel was warm. Sounds like I need to find some fuel line.

My line is still kinked at the top on the return side but im pumping alot of fuel so never noticed. Other then the high return pressure pushing the fuel line off the drive side fuel rail when I first installed the twin cp3 pumps. I just installed a extra line to let the fuel circle around then back to there I plan of taking all the factory lines off soon. And replace with -10 supply and -8 return.

maybe having same problem
I see your last post was the end of June. Is your truck doing ok? I am having the same problems in hot weather pulling loads. My 2006 LBZ has 86,000 miles. Do you think this would be covered under warranty? If not I will find the hose and do it myself.

Friday May 9, 2014Stipe Zunic Tosses PR in Shot Put to Wrap Up Regular Reason for Gators at FSU Twilight
Gators' Stipe Zunic tossed a PR in the shot put Friday to wrap up the 2014 regular season for UF.
Gators' Stipe Zunic tossed a PR in the shot put Friday to wrap up the 2014 regular season for UF.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida junior thrower Stipe Zunic tossed a PR of 19.92m/65-4.25 to take the mens shot put title at the FSU Twilight in Tallahassee Friday evening at Mike Long Track.
Zunic put a stamp on the outdoor regular-season for the No. 1 Gators with the second-best performance in school history, the second-best performance in the Southeastern Conference and the fifth-best mark in the country heading into the 2014 SEC Outdoor Championships May 15-18 in Lexington, Ky., next week.
Zunic was just shy of the 22-year-old shot put school record 20.10m/65-11.5 set by Dwight Johnson in 1992.
The No. 1 Gator squads will embark on Lexington, Ky., for the conference championships next week, hosted on the University of Kentucky campus. Florida owns nine SEC outdoor championships, four on the mens side (53, 56, 87, 10) and five in womens action (92, 97, 98, 03, 09).
· ESPN3 will stream the meet live during the following times: Saturday, May 17 (3:40 p.m. ET 6:50 p.m. ET) and Sunday, May 18 (1:50 p.m. ET 5:50 p.m. ET)
· The broadcast talent includes: Dwight Stones (play-by-play), Larry Rawson (analyst) and Lewis Johnson (sideline reporter)
· The 2014 SEC Outdoor Championships will air as part of a two-hour highlight show on ESPNU on Thursday, May 22, beginning at 8 p.m. ET

Congratulations to the Reno Air Race Association for a successful 50th year of national championship air racing and flight demonstration. RARA should be proud they produced an event which is a spectacle of aviation accomplishments.
A notable difference from previous performances was the absence of U.S. military participants. Those who permitted this to happen should not be proud. Our well-funded defense department is the beneficiary of programs which produce the world's most capable, sophisticated airplanes. To deprive a very large crowd of aviation enthusiasts of seeing these aircraft is shortsighted.
Senior officers and bureaucrats mistakenly think this makes a statement about budget woes, saying there is not money for flight demonstrations. This alienates a group which represents the entire country who know that the money it takes to fly at airshows is not where the budget shortfalls should be made up.
This show is a great opportunity to gain supporters - if you show up.
Lou Christensen, Reno

A group blog from members of the VB team
Let's say that you've developed an application using the free Visual Studio Express Edition. Now, you want to deploy your application to the masses, and you read documentation about How to: Create or Add Deployment Projects.
To create a new deployment project
On the File menu, point to Add, then click New Project.
In the resulting Add New Project dialog box, in the Project Types pane, open the Other Project Types node and select Setup and Deployment Projects.
In the Templates pane, choose the type of deployment project you want to create. For more information, see Setup and Deployment Projects.
To create a new deployment project
On the File menu, point to Add, then click New Project.
In the resulting Add New Project dialog box, in the Project Types pane, open the Other Project Types node and select Setup and Deployment Projects.
In the Templates pane, choose the type of deployment project you want to create. For more information, see Setup and Deployment Projects.
In this example, I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. However, when I open the New Project dialog box, there isn't an Other Project Types node.
The Other Projects Types node is only available in Standard Edition or higher (such as Professional Edition and Team System Edition). Also, you cannot download the Setup Project templates and add them to Visual Studio Express Edition.
Here, you discover that Visual Studio Express Edition is free, but limited. All of the following versions of the Express Editions have the same limited functionality: Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition,Visual C# 2005 Express Edition, Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition,Visual C# 2008 Express Edition, and Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.
All hope is not lost! You can use ClickOnce Deployment to easily share your application with the masses. The ClickOnce Publish Wizard can easily generate a setup.exe to check for and install prerequisites such as the .NET Framework or SQL Server Express Edition. The published files can be copied to a CD, Web site, or network file share where users can download and install your application. ClickOnce can also easily update your application as you incorporate customer feedback and add features.
I created a Web browser based on Creating Your First Visual Basic Program and Video How to: Creating Your First Visual Basic Program. Now, I'll show you how to use the Publish Wizard in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition to deploy this application to a network file share.
1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the solution name and click Publish.
You'll see the Publish Wizard open.
2. Type the location where you want Visual Studio to copy the files, and click Next. This location is called the Publish Location.
3. Type the location where your end users will install your application from, and click Next. This location is called the Install Location. These two locations are separate in case you do not have write access to the network file share. In that case, you would copy the files to your local computer, and an administrator would copy the files to the network file share.
4. Choose where the application is going to be run from, and click Next. If you select "available online or offline," the application is installed onto the end user computer. If you select "only available online only," the application is run from the Install Location.
5. In the final screen of the Publish Wizard, click Finish.
6. Open the network file folder, and verify that all the files are copied there. End users can open the Browser.application, publish.htm, or setup.exe files to start the installation.
For step-by-step instructions about how to publish to a Web site or CD, see How to: Publish a ClickOnce Application.
OK, let's test the installation.
7. Open file location where the application installer is located.
8. In the publish.htm file, click launch or Install.
You'll see the Launching Application dialog box appear momentarily.
9. In the ClickOnce Trust Prompt, click Install. If you don't want your users to see this prompt, you can sign your solution with a code-signing certificate.
10. Test your application.
In the Visual Basic Browser application that I created, I entered http://www.microsoft.com and clicked Go!!!!!! to see my application work successfully on my test computer.
These instructions apply to the Visual Basic and Visual C# Express Editions. The Visual C++ Express Edition development environment doesn't have the ClickOnce Publish Wizard, but you can perform the steps in the Visual Studio command prompt. For more information, see ClickOnce Deployment for Visual C++ Applications.
Enjoy deploying your applications!

PingBack from http://www.easycoded.com/looking-for-setup-and-deployment-project-templates-mary-lee/
I found CyberInstaller and it's much easier to use. I'm using ClickOnce lesser and lesser. I found it here: http://www.silvercybertech.com
Keep up the good job Microsoft VB Team guys! Your blog is great!
can any one help me develop a program i am trying to do if any one is intrested email me at firstname.lastname@example.com thanks
I can create a setup OK. The problem that I have is that when it is installed on the target machine, it is only available to the installing user.
There are multiple users using the machine, and I want them to share the program, rather than having 16 different versions--that are all the same! Can you offer any info on how to do this? It used to be easy to check the "Available to all users" box, but I don't see this anymode.
I think I've discovered how to do it, although somewhat surprised and concerned that this is a determination that is made by the developer and not the installer!
Well WIX would be a better and cost effective option to create a setup package with or without the Visual Studio since it can be run from the cmd line and the Setup projects created are equally impressive (or in some cases better than the regula setup)
Thanks for the tip, Dinesh. I'm getting into WiX, which looks like what should have been in VS2008. I wish just once there would be a development environment that didn't require a boatload of add-ons just to work properly.
Thank so much for the article.
I went through the documentation and spent a lot of time searching for Other Project Types!
I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express, and I cannot find a Publish option. What should I do? Could you please explain the above procedure in the context of Visual C++ express edition project?
hi VC Beginner,
please see the last paragraph of this article for a link to the ClickOnce and C++ guide. there isn't a UI for ClickOnce and C++, but you can generate the ClickOnce manifests in the Visual Studio 2008 command prompt that is included with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.
WGVoight, you indicated that you might have a solution for installing the application for ALL users, rather than the user who's logged in. Can you publish that information?
I too can only use this if I can install a program for all users on a machine. Please publish any available information.
I want to use it in Windows Application . Can You say How can I publish a windows application ?
i have an aplication on vb net been published to work online or ofline but the publish setup file only create a regenrece to the project on the local user computer but i also want to install a folder on the user local computer under same root (sample c:\\\\aplication\ where should be the executable and a fodler named reports to be used with this code \\\app.path\reports )
can this be posible?
hai,i created a project in vb.net 2008,and i made a set up of it also..
when i tried to install the project on other system,
after,security warning comes,their comes one more window,,,,like the set up cant be published,
do anyone know about this?????????????/
please answer me.
The WiX-Plugin "Votive" for Visual Studio will NOT work with the Express Editions...so far, this again an example for MS License Policy (*committing*)

It's no revelation to say the 76ers aren't expected to be very good this year.
Want a sure sign? Take a look at the NBA's national television schedule.
Even with one of the league's top draws in Allen Iverson, the Sixers are making just eight regular-season national TV appearances this season -- all on ESPN. That puts them slightly below the league average of 10.1 national TV appearances, and ties them for 15th in the 30-team league. ...

Policeman John Perrault Fired After Calling Red Sox Player A 'Monday'

Black Police Officers Sue Boston For Discrimination
There is something strange about the Boston Police Department. The city is about 24 percent black, according to the 2010 census, but of the 51 lieutenants on the force, just two are black men.

"ILCHESTER, (or Ivelchester), a parish and incorporated town, formerly a representative borough and market town in the hundred of Tintinhull, county Somerset, 4 miles S.E. of Somerton, 5 from Yeovil, and 122 W.S.W. of London. The town stands on the S. bank of the river Yeo, over which is a stone bridge connecting it with the parish of Northover. It is supposed to be the Ischalis of Ptolemy, and was the chief town in the territory of the Belgæ. When the Romans took possession of the country, they fortified it with a rampart surrounded by a moat filled with water from the river Ivel, and made it one of their principal stations on the great Fosse Way, which led from Lincolnshire to Devon. By the Saxons it was called Gifelcestre, or Ivelceastre, and was a place of importance after the Norman Conquest, containing at the time of the Survey six churches and 107 burgesses. It was ineffectually besieged by Robert Mowbray in 1088, during the rebellion against William Rufus. It was incorporated by charter of King John, but the charter having lapsed, it was renewed by Philip and Mary, and the government vested in a bailiff and 12 capital burgesses."

Hi All,
I have a babylock eclipse which has been recently serviced. I want to make a gymnastics leotard. When I sew the side seam, the stitches look properly balanced when I inspect the seam. However, when I open out the fabric and look at the seam from the outside of the garment, without puling the seam apart too hard, the seamline opens slightly and I can see the needle threads - looks like the seam is grinning at me, or like the rungs of a ladder. For the moment I'm sewing the seams using the stretch stitch on my sewing machine then running them through the overlocker to neaten them, but I have a set of catsuits to make soon and these will take an age if I have to sew every seam twice!
If I tighten the needle tension it does help a bit, but if I tighten it too much there feels to be not enough stretch along the length of the seam - I don;t want to risk having seams snap!
Thanks for any thoughts or help anyone can give me!
When serging garments that take major stress, such as negative-ease leotards, I'd want to use a 5-thread safety stitch.
------I heart Woo (HimmyCat). Until we meet again, my beautiful little boy. I love you.

Sara Latendresse is a young Montreal jazz singer with considerable talent and style. Her new album, Naked, was sent to me by a friend in Montreal. I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to bring it to the attention of our readers.
The competition for female jazz singers is intense. The field runs from 15 year old wunderkind Nikki Yanofsky (another Montrealer) to CD reissues of the greats from generations past like Anita O'Day, Nina Simone, Sara Vaughn, Ella, and many in between. Happily, Latendresse can hold her own. What I very much enjoyed about her voice is the lovely timbre, the contralto tessitura, and the stylish way she phrases and tells a story.
Unlike many jazz singers, Latendresse is also a very talented songwriter. In fact, Naked, is a bit of a departure from her usual club dates and cover recordings. The style is more adult contemporary with some rhythm and blues infusing each song. Latendresse contributes both music and lyrics.
The songs are portrayed very personally (are they autobiographical?). There is a quiet intensity about Latendresse's performance which drew this listener in completely. Believe begins the set and has 'hit' written all over it. The set continues with Why and the title name, Naked, each sung with great aplomb and accompanied superbly by her quartet.
The recording by Paul Johnson is of demonstration quality. Latendresse's voice is front and center, but the guitar, piano, bass and drums can all be heard in a lovely space, surrounding her voice accurately. Latendresse has worked with her group for two years. They sound completely in sync technically and artistically.
Sure, the competition's tough, but if you are dipping your toes into the jazz vocal world with the uber mainstream Diana Krall or deep into it with the likes of jazz divas Heather Bambrick, Carol Welsman, Melissa Stylianou, and the aforementioned greatest generation, you'll certainly enjoy the very talented Sara Latendresse.
Naked is available at both CD Baby and iTunes.

More than 1,000 students will gather under a tent outside Norris University Center this weekend to dance for 30 hours for Northwestern University's 40th annual Dance Marathon fundraising event. Tim Rivelli (Weinberg '76) helped organize the original NUDM event in 1974 through his role as executive vice president of the Associated Student Government. Rivelli shared his memories of the humble beginnings of an event that has since become one of the largest student-run philanthropic events in the country.
During my first year at Northwestern in 1973, I was the co-chair of an Associated Student Government sub-committee called the University Community Relations Committee. The purpose of the committee was to build better community at Northwestern among the student body. At the time, Norris Center was relatively new, and the facility had not really been fully developed yet. There were very few restaurants in Evanston for students to gather. Northwestern had this great community of students and a variety of student groups, but many students felt that the university lacked a sense of community. So the focus of the community relations committee was to try to find ways to get students to work together and build a better community. The idea for Dance Marathon came from Jan Jacobowitz, who was also involved in ASG and a member of the ASG University Community Relations Committee. Jan had friends at the University of Illinois, and she visited them and participated in their dance marathon event. She thought it was awesome and suggested to me that we should do something like that at Northwestern. I was very supportive of the idea, and I thought it would be a great way to get students from all different segments—people that are living in dorms, people in fraternities and sororities—of the Northwestern community to work together on a common project.
But it took some manpower to plan and organize the event. We also needed to try to find a charity. So we met with representatives from the Epilepsy Foundation of America and later the National Association for Retarded Citizens. These charities became our first beneficiaries. We were also trying to understand where and how we might stage an event of this magnitude. We worked with University officials and received permission to hold the event in Blomquist. We had to figure out how to recruit a team of people to organize and put on the event because there were a lot of things from a facilities standpoint that needed to be done. I was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) fraternity, and I asked if they would be interested in helping. They agreed to get behind the event in a big way and figured out how to organize the music and staging and other parts of the event. We attempted to obtain donations of supplies and equipment for the event to minimize our costs and to maximize the amount we could give to the charity. We put together a structure to recruit people to be dancers. I think we had 15 couples and raised more than $9,000.
For an initial event, it was a great success. There was no playbook for us to use. We didn't have any elaborate organization. It was a seat-of-the-pants type of thing. When you think of it in terms of getting it started, it was a lot of blind faith. We went forward hoping that we could put it on in a way that was successful, and I think the people that participated in the first event had a good time. When you fast forward to 2014, it's inspiring to look at the scope of Dance Marathon now: more than 20 student committees, more than 1,000 dancers, an elaborate process for people who are in the charitable industry to submit their causes as potential beneficiaries.
It is clear that the Dance Marathon fulfilled the vision of building a better community within the students at Northwestern. From what I've seen, it's also great way to use the talented students at NU to help others in need. NUDM clearly teaches a life lesson that it's important: Whenever you can bind people together for a common purpose to help others who are in need, you can reach a whole new level of unity, and you can truly help people. I think it's important for students to remember that lesson as they move forward in their careers after college and go off into the world. We all need to pay attention to others who are in need, and use our time and talent to give back to others.
When I hear the stories from the beneficiary organizations and see Northwestern students coming together to raise more than $1 million for charities, it's so inspiring. Who could have ever dreamed that what we started in the mid-1970s would have grown into something like that? It's amazing to think about the ripple effect of what we started in 1975 and to look at what good it has produced over the last 40 years. When people graduate from Northwestern, I am sure that they think that NUDM was one of the best things they were involved in. I'm very thankful that I was able to play a role in getting this started.

Well it didnt happen in the 60s and i dont see it happening in my days.I say go for it tax the heck out of it and everyone wins!
I am just curious. If it were to be become legal would you be able to tell if someone was driving under the influence. I was under the impression that if you smoke it, it will be in your system for days after the effects have worn off. So if someone is pulled over how will the police know if they are under the influence. Its not like there is a breathalizer for weed. I have known plenty of people over the years who act like they are stoned all the time and never touch the stuff. Of course I also had a friend in college who I will swear to the day I die, actually drove better when he was drunk. But thats a story for another day.

Smoking a cigarette is almost illegal, but it is taxed beyond belief. So let everything be legal, tax it and support our government properly.
I disagree with your statement about being able to fire an employee. Just as one coud be fired for being drunk at work, you could still terminate someone who's usage jepardizes work or safety. And having it on you would be like having a six pack.
probably never happen. can't fire an employee for having it in their system if it is legal.
and that's just the beginning. no more possession charges for "personal" use. can't really call it paraphanalia if what is in it(pipe or paper) is legal. and driving under the influence of pot would probably
not change, besides it would be legal to have on you.
i don't even think the hippies would go for it. but good luck
Funny that this is mentioned the same day the article about media and police make good partners. lol
Yes I think it is time to legalize it. The fact that the question is even phrased that way suggests that it will happen, it 's just a matter of when. This is one of the situations where there are degrees of usage in which there can be benefits or abuse. While i would never encourage irresponsible usage, i.e. giving to a minor, driving under it's influence, etc., I also look at people who have a moderate ussage and are productive members of society who, because of the laws, could have theri entire lives ruined. Now usually that could be an argument for not doing it. But i believe it is more an indication that our justice system is outta whack and the laws don't fit the crime. And if our legal system is based on the bible then it should be legalized since the Old Testament references cannibis 5 times. 4 times as a part of the burnt offerrings offered to God, and once as an aphrodisiac.(for those interested the Hebrew word is Kanebosm)
Just my opinion
