In 1928, Steamboat Willie, a cartoon starring Mickey Mouse and directed by Walt Disney, was released. It was one of the first cartoons to use synchronized sound. Nine years later, the first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was released. Snow White was the first of the Disney Princesses. Over the next several decades, the company released many successful movies, and with the advent of television, TV series. In 1954 on its weekly ABC TV series, plans for the Disneyland theme park were first unveiled. The park opened in California 1955 and quickly attracted visitors from around the country. In 1971, several years after Walt's death, Disney World opened in Florida. Each year, the two theme parks as well as several others that have since opened worldwide, attract millions of visitor from all over the world.
The company has continued expanding its empire and today it includes cable TV stations that air many programs girls enjoy, including Jessie, Phineas and Ferb, Shake it Up and Ant Farm. Disney also owns several other companies, including Pixar Animation Studios, Lucasfilm and Marvel Entertainment. It is set to remain a powerhouse in entertainment for years to come.

PartSelect Number PS2180046
This part includes the white handle, door latch and 2 switches. This part is a simple on/off mechanism that prohibits the dishwasher from operating when the door is open.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
This part includes the black handle, latch and 2 switches. This part is a simple on/off mechanism that prohibits the dishwasher from operating when the door is open.
This bisque door latch with the switches is a simple on/off mechanism that prohibits the dishwasher from operating when the door is open.
Please NOTE: The bisque handle is no longer available separately. Only available with this assembly.
The hardest thing was figuring out that you only need to purchase the latch handle because it only comes as a complete latch assembly, why they even list the latch assembly as a separate part in the parts list stupid. (you get the handle and latch already put together and it cost less than the latch assembly without the handle). Anyway all you need to do is disconect the power from the dishwasher (unless you like to live dangerously like me) take your drill with the correct size torx bit and remove all the screws on the inside door pannel (the top center two screws actually hold the latch assembly in place). Disconect the 4 wires from the old part and reconect them to the new part and reinstall all the torx screws being careful not to strip the plastic threads that they screw into if you are using a drill. Whole process takes less than 5 minutes. I am surprised that Maytag used such a flimsy handle assembly in their dishwashers since they are supposed to have the repair men with the most time on their hands. They probably sell just as many handle assemblies as they do dishwashers that have this particular part in it, probably more since you will probably have to change it 2 or 3 times during the life of the unit.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Remove the 8 or 9 torx screws holding the inner and outer door assembly together (leave the bottom screws in), lift the old handle assembly out, transfer the switches to the new handle assembly, and reassemble door.
remove torq scew from edge of inside of door and seperate plastic inner panel from out steel and then pull up on plastci unscrew 2 screw securing handle and reverse to assemble. Anyone can door this in under 10 mins.
For probably a year I have been using my dishwasher with a broken handle. I would just pull the door out with a little bit of force to open it. Still I was concerned it would eventually break something else. After reading other people's experience with replacing it, it didn't sound like such a difficult repair and the part was less than 30 dollars counting shipping. Incidently, PartSelect ships fast so make sure you order the right part. I ordered the part Friday afternoon and got it the next day! And I didn't use overnight shipping. Sweet! Here are the steps for repair.1) Turned off power to dishwasher.2) Removed all the screws on the inside of the door then shifted the panel over so I could get to the top. 3) The bottom of the latch assembly attaches to the control panel with two flimsy plastic notches and at the top with two of the screws that hold that back panel in place. (For me, I found that those flimsy notches had broken. I was concerned that I would have to buy a whole new control panel which was ~175.00 dollars. Yikes! Luckily the two screws at the top and the door panel behind it seem to be holding it in place.)4) There are two pairs of metal prongs that plug into a white connectors on either side of the latch assembly. I had to use pliers to pinch the metal prongs together while wiggling the connector get it unplugged. This was the hardest part. (It would have been easier to just reuse the same metal plugs. Someone else did that and it seemed to work.) Be sure to note which side of the latch assemply the two connectors was plugged in to.5) Plug the 2 white connectors to the new latch assembly.6) Lay the latch assembly in place on the door.7) Put the back panel down over it and screw it in place.8) Turn on power.Works perfectly!
1.Turn of electric2. Open dishwasher door3. Remove scres for interior door cover4. Lift and move the interior door cover to right5. Use Pliers to pull off connectors of Latch6. Use Pliers to attach replacement latch 7. Lay interior door cover back on door and line up with screw holes. Make sure you have the bottom lip over the bottom of exterior door by hinges. Bottom lip goes inside the dishwasher. 8. Put back in screws - not all the way and tighten snug (do not over tighen) once all are in place.9. turn on power.10. Done!30 Minutes tops!
Had this problem before and the part was simply a plastic latch which cost less than 5 dollars. That part has been discontinued and the latch is now the entire assembly. Although the part costs more, the repair is much simpler. Remove the screws from the inside of the door. Have to use hex nut screwdriver. Remove the panel and the assembly is right at the top. Unhook the assembly from the two (2) prongs. TURN OFF the electricity or touching the prong will bite you. Had to pry the latches off the prongs with a screwdriver as the fit is tight. Latch the new assembly on and rescrew the door panel and the job is done. Very easy and cheaper than a repairman coming out and charging $150.00
Once I got the door open, I removed the door cover screws with a Torx driver, where I found the broken handle and the Latch Assembly. One of the plastic handle pivot points had broken clean off. In my Brilliance, I went online to PartSelect, found that the part that I needed had been discontinued (from Maytag) and picked one that looked right. It ended up being the assembly without the handle, the part I needed. Save yourself some time and call the 800 number to make sure you get what you need. They were very helpfull in returning the wrong part to get the right one. Once I had the part, the repair was very straightforward. I just had to open the door up again, swap in the new Latch Assembly with the steel reinforced pivot point handle, and put the screws back in the door. The latch assembly is held in place by two of the door screws. Watch the cut off switches on the assembly, the power is hot until you power off the circut at the electric panel.
removed all screws that held the door liner in place @ 10 then removed the 6 screws that held the control panel in place. control pane came off easily. as the latch was broken that came off easy too. The replacement panel and latch fit perfectly. the only trouble I had was inserting the flat wiring bundle from the new control panel to the old circuit board connector. Take your time and really seat the flat wire bundle into the circuit board. it needs to be nice and snug. if it's not only a few of the wash functions will light up when pressed. once the connection is tight all functions worked. replace all screws - easy.
The repair stories on PartSelect.com told me exactly what to do. First, I checked the inside of the door and confirmed that the inside panel of the door was held in place with about 10 torx screws. Second, I went out and bought a set of torx screwdrivers. Third, I TURNED OFF THE POWER TO THE DISHWASHER AT THE BREAKER BOX! Safety first! Fourth, I removed the screws and gently lifted the inside panel of the door, and then gently lifted the broken door latch assembly out of its slot. (There were no more screws to remove, because the latch assembly is held in place by two of the door screws.) Two sets of wires, one white and the other black, were connected to the latch assembly by plug-in connectors. Fifth, I unplugged the wires from the broken latch assembly. The clips in the plug were very tight, so I used a dishtowel to hold onto the latch assembly. I found that gave me a better grip. Sixth, I plugged the wires onto the new latch assembly, and then slipped the latch assembly back into the slot. Seventh, I replaced the inside door panel, and replaced in the 10 torx screws. Finally, I turned on the power at the breaker box, closed the door, and turned on the dishwasher. It ran perfectly!I would like tyo add that I had ordered an unnecessary part by mistake. I called the return number, and the person who answered was extremely helpful. She gave me the return authorization number and I put the part in the mail. Ten days later, I received an email from PartSelect.com confirming that the part had arrived and that my account had been credited. The entire process was easy and pleasant. Anybody can do this! Just make sure to shut off the power at the breaker box before you start on the job.
Being a fairly technical female, I decided after Internet research to replace this part by myself. It could not have been easier - even after reading several Internet horror stories. I believe the major difference being I replaced the entire assembly, not simply the latch. You need a hex-head allen wrench to remove the inside cover of the dishwasher door, and some sort of pliers to remove the old unit. I used vice grips since I am a wimpy girl - they worked nicely (this took the longest time).Step by Step:Turn off the power to your dishwasher.Remove the door screws and carefully lift it to access the door latch assembly. Remove the old door latch by unplugging the black and white electrical mechanism. Pay close attention to which side the black and white connections are removed from for reconnection reasons. This is where I had to use vice grips. It took a bit to "unplug" the old latch assembly.Once the old latch assembly is removed, position the new latch assembly and reconnect the electrical source.Carefully reposition the door and replace the screws.Turn on the power.Run a short cycle (I used rinse) to make sure that the unit was replaced correctly.Can it be any easier than that??
1st: Unscrewed the inside of the door (actually hex screwdriver needed).2nd: Removed broken part (one side of handle latch (which is plastic) was broken.3rd. Had to disconnect two electrodes that were attached to the part that held the handle (there are two small prongs that you need to push back to remove these)4th. In order to place the handle on the groove, you need to pull apart the bottom of the housing piece (it looks like it would be a hinge, but you just pull it apart)NOTE: Make sure you have another person hold the top portion when you pull this apart because it has a spring and will come completly apart. This happened to us and it was a pain to get it back together. 5th: place the smaller "clamps" plastic pieces in the grove and then it should slide down into the groove, which will also seat the outer "plastic clamps" into the grooves.NOTE: It seems like the repair part was built to reinforce this part of the handle, since this was the part that broke before. It is now reinforced with a little metal rod on each side.6th: After all that, you need to place the two electrodes back on the piece.7th: Hold it in place and put the inside of the door back on (start a screw on one side and then go to the opposite side. This will help to align the screw holes).8th: After I put it all back together, I turned it on to make sure it worked ok.
This was a very easy repair. Before I did anything, I flipped the breaker for the dishwasher and tried to turn the dishwasher on to make sure it had no power going to it. Once I was certain the power was off I removed the hex screws (there are 11) on the inside of the door panel using the hex screwdriver. Lifting and holding the inside panel up, I then used the pliers to pry the old latch assembly out of its metal prongs. Then I replaced the old latch assembly with the new one, pushing the metal prongs (by hand) into the slits of the new latch assembly. Last, I lined everything up and screwed the door panel back in place. I flipped the breaker back on and activated my child lock to make sure I had power. The handle worked perfectly. Quick and easy fix!I ordered the part with 3-5 day delivery and actually received it in 2 days! I'm extremely pleased with my partselect.com experience and highly recommend using them for all your appliance parts needs!
First , unplug your dishwasher from the outlet.Then remove the 9screws all the way around the inside of the door,followed by removing the 2 screws that hold the latch, 2 screws that hold the panel and 2 screws that hold the black case containing the electronic circuit board. You need to open up the black case in order to remove the thin cable that connects to the circuit board and which makes everything work. (You get a new one allready attached with the new panel). Next go to the latch assembly.You alsoneed to unhook the black & white leads. Take your time here and pull them straight back and slowly with a pair of needlenose pliers. They are stubborn so just take your time.To be safe I drew a small diagram to make sure that I hooked the white back to the right connection. Once the part s were received , I put the new panel on, connected the cable to the circuit board, closed the case and put the screws back in. Next , I put the black & white wires back on the switch ( based on my diagram) , put the 2 screws in the latch locations and then put the remaining screws back into the inside door. Plugged it in , tested it, and everything worked just fine.So far the wife hasn't used her herculean strength again. This is a Maytag & things aren't supposed to break. Last note: Your telephone person was a jewel. The latch was shown as NLA (No longer available). She took the time when I called to follow up on the part number and find another number made by another company by special order. Absolutely first class in my book. Kudos to her.Thanks again, service was good and delivery was within 5 days.
First, I recommend asking PartSelect for help to insure you have correct part. They tell me the pictures on the web site are provided by Maytag and are copywrited so they can't change them. The pictures are incorrect and misleading. However, it's a known problem, so the PartSelect people will steer you in the right direction. Bottom line in my case, I needed the lower cost part that included more pieces (counter-intuitive so I was glad I called). Got the right part the first time in about 3 days regular shipping.As far as install, you need a "Torx" screwdriver (screw heads have a star-like pattern) to remove the screws along the inside of the door. From there, the old latch is accessible and easy to remove. As others have mentioned, the hardest part is removing the wire harnesses on either side of the latch. They have a slide on compression clip holding them on, and I think that time and ambient moisture must cause them to get stuck very tightly. I originally thought there was something locking them on, but in the end, I was able to pull and wiggle them loose with by applying slight inward pressure on the prongs with long nose pliers. You have to be careful not to damage the parts when attempting to pull them apart. It's nice that the part I ordered includes new switches, so if I caused any damge removing the old ones, it didn't matter. Just take extra care on the side with the wires and plastic connectors, since those parts aren't included and are more involved to replace if you damage them.Overall, a very simple repair. The repair stories from others on the site were very helpful and gave me confidence when I ran into the small snag mentioned, since others had the same problem. Hopefully the additional detail I've provided on that issue will help fill any gaps.
First turned off power to dishwasher. Then, I removed all the screws on the dishwasher door. Removed old plastic door latch from wire assembly piece. Pressed on latches for square small wire boxes connected to wire assembly piece to be able to handle wire assembly plastic piece without attachment to dishwasher. Tried to snap door handle to wire assembly plastic piece, but didn't seem to fit - was too tight. Checked for discussion online and found that it required heavy pressure to snap in place. Used pliers to clamp down on outer plastic on wire assembly piece to squeeze fit door latch plastic hooks in place. This was difficult, but with heavy pressure finally managed to snap in outer hooks. Then with difficulty snapped in inner hooks. Was afraid of breaking new plastic piece, but all worked out well. Door has never opened and closed so well!!

An Ohio DJ who claims Justin Bieber spat in his face and cursed his parents has hired a lawyer and filed a police report for assault.
Addison Ulhaq, 26, of Columbus, Ohio, a disc jockey at The Social Room in Columbus claims the incident occurred at around 2:30 a.m. on July 13, according to the police report.
According to Ulhaq's attorney, Megan J. Frantz Oldham, the incident began when Bieber's security team thought he had been taking photos of the singer inside the club's VIP Room.
Two of Bieber's bodyguards allegedly "shoved Addison into a side kitchen, grabbed his phone, and searched it for pictures of Justin, but found none."
Ulhaq claims he had been simply looking at his phone.
According to Oldham, Bieber then approached her client brushing security aside "he would handle it." With security by his side, Bieber allegedly told Ulhaq "Your mother's a [expletive]; your father is a [expletive]; and you are a [expletive]," before spitting in his face "leaving saliva and mucus in Addison's eyes, nose, and mouth."
Bieber was then rushed out of the club by his security team.
According to the police report, "the Victim stated that he does not want anything does at this time and just wants to document the incident."
No charges have been filed at this time.
"Based on this incident and others recently reported in the media, it is apparent that Mr. Bieber thinks that he is better than other people, and that he is above the law," Oldman said. "Mr. Ulhaq has taken the responsible step of reporting Mr. Bieber's assault to hopefully prevent Mr. Bieber from engaging in future demeaning and damaging conduct."
Oldham describes Ulhaw as a junior at Ohio State, studying neuroscience in the hopes of a future career in medicine.
After the altercation, Ulhaq told TMZ he was tested for Hepatitis, which came back negative.

Each appellant will be accorded hearing and representation rights pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and regulations of the Secretary.
(1) Except in the case of simultaneously contested claims, notice of disagreement shall be filed within one year from the date of mailing of notice of the result of initial review or determination. Such notice, and appeals, must be in writing and be filed with the activity which entered the determination with which disagreement is expressed (hereinafter referred to as the "agency of original jurisdiction"). A notice of disagreement postmarked before the expiration of the one-year period will be accepted as timely filed.
(2) Notices of disagreement, and appeals, must be in writing and may be filed by the claimant, the claimant's legal guardian, or such accredited representative, attorney, or authorized agent as may be selected by the claimant or legal guardian. Not more than one recognized organization, attorney, or agent will be recognized at any one time in the prosecution of a claim.
(c) If no notice of disagreement is filed in accordance with this chapter within the prescribed period, the action or determination shall become final and the claim will not thereafter be reopened or allowed, except as may otherwise be provided by regulations not inconsistent with this title.
(1) Where the claimant, or the claimant's representative, within the time specified in this chapter, files a notice of disagreement with the decision of the agency of original jurisdiction, such agency will take such development or review action as it deems proper under the provisions of regulations not inconsistent with this title. If such action does not resolve the disagreement either by granting the benefit sought or through withdrawal of the notice of disagreement, such agency shall prepare a statement of the case. A statement of the case shall include the following:
(A) A summary of the evidence in the case pertinent to the issue or issues with which disagreement has been expressed.
(B) A citation to pertinent laws and regulations and a discussion of how such laws and regulations affect the agency's decision.
(2) A statement of the case, as required by this subsection, will not disclose matters that would be contrary to section 5701 of this title or otherwise contrary to the public interest. Such matters may be disclosed to a designated representative unless the relationship between the claimant and the representative is such that disclosure to the representative would be as harmful as if made to the claimant.
(3) Copies of the "statement of the case" prescribed in paragraph (1) of this subsection will be submitted to the claimant and to the claimant's representative, if there is one. The claimant will be afforded a period of sixty days from the date the statement of the case is mailed to file the formal appeal. This may be extended for a reasonable period on request for good cause shown. The appeal should set out specific allegations of error of fact or law, such allegations related to specific items in the statement of the case. The benefits sought on appeal must be clearly identified. The agency of original jurisdiction may close the case for failure to respond after receipt of the statement of the case, but questions as to timeliness or adequacy of response shall be determined by the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
(4) The claimant in any case may not be presumed to agree with any statement of fact contained in the statement of the case to which the claimant does not specifically express agreement.
(1) If, either at the time or after the agency of original jurisdiction receives a substantive appeal, the claimant or the claimant's representative, if any, submits evidence to either the agency of original jurisdiction or the Board of Veterans' Appeals for consideration in connection with the issue or issues with which disagreement has been expressed, such evidence shall be subject to initial review by the Board unless the claimant or the claimant's representative, as the case may be, requests in writing that the agency of original jurisdiction initially review such evidence.

Hi there!
Happy Wednesday! I've been feeling a little under the weather this week and all I want to do is curl up in a ball underneath my blankets. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case as we've had a lot of work to do at the SJ office with deadlines that are due this week (hint: new t-shirts coming soon!). YAY! Shop here for our classics.
Since I've been a little sick, the last thing I wanted to do on Monday was photograph my ootd so we shot my look at our in-house studio. This faux fur vest sure knows how to make me feel pretty when it's the last thing I feel while being sick.
On a different note, let me know what you guys feel like seeing on the blog? Wanna hear your suggestions!

i'll be eagerly following this thread since i'm thinking of incorporating the underdark into my own campaign in the near future. While City Designer doesn't having that sort of thing, I know dungeon designer (and other products from Profantasy) do have stalagtites and other cave oriented objects. You should check out the Dunjinni Forums to find some stuff that could work.
I don't know how to actually create objects myself, but I wouldn't mind learning or helping out if anyone does have any ideas.

The term "health information technology" (health IT) is a broad concept that encompasses an array of technologies to store, share, and analyze health information.
More and more, health care providers are using health IT to improve patient care. But health IT isn't just for health care providers. You can use health IT to better communicate with your doctor, learn and share information about your health, and take actions that will improve your quality of life. Health IT lets you be a key part of the team that keeps you healthy.
Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
Your doctor keeps records of your health information, such as your history of diseases and which medications you're taking. Up until now, most doctors stored these in paper files. EHRs (sometimes called "electronic medical records") are electronic systems that store your health information. EHRs allow doctors to more easily keep track of your health information and may enable them to access your information when you have a problem even if their office is closed. EHRs also make it easier for your doctor to share information with specialists and others so that everyone who needs your information has it available when they need it. Some EHRs may also allow you to log in to a web portal to view your own health record, lab results, and treatment plan, and to email your doctor.
Personal Health Records (PHRs)
A PHR is a lot like an EHR, except that you control what kind of information goes into it.
You can use a PHR to keep track of information from your doctor visits, but the PHR can also reflect your life outside the doctor's office and your health priorities, such as tracking your food intake, exercise, and blood pressure. Sometimes, your PHR can link with your doctor's EHR.
A paper prescription can get lost or misread. E-prescribing allows your doctor to communicate directly with your pharmacy. This means you can go to the pharmacy to pick up medicine without having to bring the paper prescription.
There are other "e-Health tools" that you can use on your own, if you wish, that may be considered a part of the broader health IT world. These include:
Personal Health Tools
These are tools that help you check your health, get feedback, and keep track of your progress to better manage your health. Examples include smartphone "apps" that can help you set and monitor fitness goals and cell phone text reminders to take your medicine on time.
Online Communities
Online communities can help people connect with one another to try to maximize good health (such as during pregnancy) or to respond to concerns about poor health. Through online communities you can share information with -- and emotionally support -- others facing similar concerns about a particular disease or disability.
These e-health tools are designed to place you at the center of your care – helping to put the "I" in health IT.

The ASP.NET Web API is a new framework technology from Microsoft. It allows a single Web service to communicate with multiple clients in various formats such as XML, JSON and OData. This framework allows developers to expose data and services to the Web directly over HTTP. This approach offers developers the ability to fully harness the richness of HTTP as an application layer protocol to communicate with a broad set of clients, including browsers, mobile devices, desktop applications, or backend services. The architecture is designed to support applications built with REST, but it does not force new applications to use a REST-style architecture.

ALM JumpStarts www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com Looking for a simple, effective way to get training on Microsoft's Cloud technologies? Microsoft Virtual Academy!
February marks 12 years since INETA was founded!
For those that don't already know me, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Jonathan Rozenblit, your developer community connection at Microsoft Canada. Thanks for giving me a few minutes of your time to check in and let you know what's new and exciting for developers working on the Microsoft platform.
Continuous Training Made Easy
Much like continuous integration is built into your development workflow, continuous training should be built into your career development plans. Thankfully, the folks at Microsoft Virtual Academy take that into account and continuously push out new courses for you to take. Here's a few new ones that have been added recently that are quite good:
Windows Azure–Designing Applications for Windows Azure Jump Start, Windows Azure Storage – Design and Implementation, Mobile Apps to IoT: Connected Devices with Windows Azure
Windows 8.1 –Developer Training: Geek Edition, HTML5 App Development Fundamentals
Visual Studio - What's New in Visual Studio 2013 Jump Start
Non-Microsoft specific–JavaScript Fundamentals for Absolute Beginners
Remember, this is training made easy – as in everything is broken down into modules, so take them one, or two, or three at a time. Whatever your schedule allows.
Reading Highlights
As much as I would love to read everything that is available online (most of which I know will definitely help me do what I do better), there's just simply no time to do so. As such, often times I rely on curated reading highlights to narrow down for me what's important and what's trending. Chances are you're in the same boat, so I thought I'd do the same here and share with you a few trending posts that I believe would be of interest to you:
Website to App — The Web App Template Simplifies Windows App Development
C# async and await: Why Do We Need Them?
Browser Link - A Web Developer's New Best Friend
Be a Productive Coder with Productivity Power Tools 2013
F12 - Your Batman Utility Belt Best Visualized
A bulletproof phone? Windows Phone 8 protects your data!
Security Risks and Recommendations for Mobile Apps
If you haven't had a chance to check out Breakpoint yet, the first two episodes are now available, with new ones being streamed live the last Friday of every month. On Breakpoint, Paul Laberge and I explore the depths of Visual Studio. Everywhere else you get chatter and demos about things using Visual Studio, but on Breakpoint, the chatter and demos about Visual Studio and how it enables cool things. How's that for you for a twist? Put it in your calendars, tune in, and join the conversation.
For Your Non-Microsoftie Endeavours… Well Almost
Hey! There's nothing wrong with having endeavours outside of the Microsoft platform. You didn't think that you'd hear that from me, but I mean it! Being well-rounded is certainly not a bad thing for a developer. My friends over at WootStudio have put together some resources and events that will help you port over those non-Windows apps to the Windows and Windows Phone Stores so that everything, your skills and your apps that is, is well-rounded. Check it out here.
A Message from the Code Sensei
Many of you already know about Code Kwondo, this year's Developer Movement app building rewards program. If you're up for a good chuckle, check out this message from the Code Sensei.
Last But Not Least
I'd like to close off with a few quick things, in case you're new to the community, or haven't yet had a chance to take advantage of all of the different tools at your disposal to stay connected and stay up to speed on everything that's going on:
Connect socially– If you prefer to get your updates via your preferred social network, LIKE the Microsoft Developer Facebook page or FOLLOW @cdndevs on Twitter. I'd recommend choosing at least one of them so you don't miss out on special announcements, fun challenges, and contests.
Canadian Developer Connection on LinkedIn– Maybe you're not the Twitter and/or Facebook type. That's OK. There's a group of 7800+ of us on LinkedIn networking, sharing, and learning about development related topics. Join us there.
Events Hub – Don't miss training and/or networking opportunities in a city near you or online. Subscribe to the Event Hub so that you know what's happening as soon as it's announced.
Network, Network, Network – Share your opinions, network with fellow developer, and discover job opportunities in the Canadian Developer Connection group on LinkedIn.
Well, that's it for now! If we aren't already, I'd love to connect with you via LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, or e-mail.
Keep in touch,
Jonathan Rozenblit

NEW YORK, March 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shareholders of China Sky One Medical, Inc. ("China Sky" or the "Company) (Pink Sheets:CSKI) are reminded of the securities class action lawsuit filed against China Sky and certain of its officers. The class action (12 Civ. 1418) in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, is on behalf of all persons who purchased China Sky securities between April 16, 2009 and February 14, 2012, inclusive (the "Class Period"). This class action is brought under the Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are a shareholder who purchased China Sky securities during the Class Period, you have until April 24, 2012 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Rachelle R. Boyle at email@example.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free, x350. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address and telephone number.
China Sky manufactures pharmaceutical and medicinal products and diagnostics kits. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, China Sky made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company improperly inflated earnings; (2) the Company's gross margins were inflated; (3) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On February 15, 2012, the Company disclosed the resignation of 26 middle-management level employees, nine of whom worked in the Company's accounting department. On that same day, NASDAQ announced it had halted trading in the stock until it received adequate "additional information requested" from the Company. On these revelations, China Sky's shares declined $0.43 per share or 28%, to close at $1.10 on February 15, 2012.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 70 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

Medicaid protects middle-class families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities.
One in every five Americans gets their health care through Medicaid. Medicaid includes people from all walks of life—they range from middle-class individuals who have suffered a catastrophic illness, to seniors living in longterm care (70 percent of all nursing home residents rely on Medicaid), to newborns and children. Learn about who benefits from Medicaid expansion.
Medicaid makes our health system stronger for all of us.
Medicaid insures one in five Americans and one in three of the nation's children. Medicaid helps people afford doctor visits so that they can stay healthy. And it pays for hospital stays and long-term care. Medicaid helps doctors and hospitals, too. By paying for the health care needs of low-income people, Medicaid reduces hospitals' burden of unpaid care. This helps hospitals and makes the health care system stronger for all of us.
Medicaid is a federal and state program that boosts state economies.
All states already participate in the Medicaid program, and half have decided to use federal dollars to expand Medicaid even further. That's because they know that, in addition to helping keep health care costs in check, Medicaid adds jobs and helps state budgets.
And Medicaid is flexible. This efficiently run program lets states tailor benefits, within broad federal guidelines, to better meet the needs of their residents.
Families USA works to keep Medicaid strong.
We partner with states to help them expand Medicaid. We work to protect Medicaid funding at the state and federal levels. And we engage advocates to promote best practices and help states make changes that give residents good health coverage and high-quality care.

Be sure to check out News 12's Ryan Houston on The Inside Story with Fatz and Cher every Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. on 96.3 FM.
Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Local and state officials have started the year out working together. A hospital bed tax, reforming property taxes and a new bus system are at the top of the list.
Elected officials had a lot to say on The Inside Story on 96.3.
"I thought the meeting went well. I thought we came out the meeting with a sense of unity," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
"It's important for us to understand what our roles are and how best we can work together to move the community forward," said Sen. Hardie Davis.
Keeping Augusta mobile seems to be an everyday conversation with officials.
"We've got to be able to move people to that place. We need to have transportation available to Fort Gordon, Proctor and Gamble or International Paper," Davis said.
"We need this for economic development. We've been looking, saying, it's just for the poor. We need this as an economic stimulus," Mason said.
Mason says the city administrator's role could be redirected.
"He should not be going around brokering deals. He is the city administrator and does not have the final say," Mason said.
Mason and Davis also plan on working to reform property taxes. There's a possibly property taxes might be going up.
"At the end of the day, the government cannot function without revenue. The primary source of revenue around this country are property taxes and sales tax," Davis said.
"Some residents pay for fire and some don't. There's a huge disparity as to how property taxes are broken down," Mason said.
Commissioner Mason says now that the balance of power has been restored. It forces commissioners to work together to get things accomplished.

A judge is allowing limited cameras in the courtroom when Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes enters his plea in March.
Judge William Sylvester said Monday he will allow one video camera and one still camera to provide pool coverage for the news media at Holmes' arraignment hearing March 12. No audio will be allowed.
Holmes' attorneys had objected to any cameras. They argued expanded media coverage would violate Holmes' rights to due process, a fair trial and an impartial jury and to be presumed innocent.
Holmes is charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder in the July 20 shootings in Aurora that killed 12 people and injured 70.
Arraignments and initial appearances are the only pretrial hearings in which cameras are allowed in courtrooms under Colorado law.

I was talking to a friend the other day about why I photograph and interview older people. We went over how I was very close to my grandmother and how I wanted to bring focus on the advanced style set and show that beauty, style, and creativity don't disappear at a certain age.She had an interesting point. She feels that many of these people continue on from a peak moment in their lives. Their hairstyles, way of dress, and manner of decorum are carried over from a time when they first began to feel comfortable in their own skin and elements of this moment become frozen in time.This form of developed presentation is what I am capturing on Advanced Style. A majority of the ladies and gentleman I talk to tell me that although they have had interests in style throughout their lives, that it is in their later years that their personal style really developed as a result of years of experience.
I try and feature a range of styles in my photographs, but I am particularly interested in this idea of a "peak moment",frozen in time, where street style portraits speak not only about fashion history but also personal development. I spent most of my youth watching black and white movies with my grandmother. Seeing an older woman walking down the street dressed in the same style that she has been wearing for 40 years brings me back to these beautiful and graceful images.That's not to say that people don't continue to "advance" their sense of style.This is what makes my subjects so interesting to me,the combined wisdom and experience of a lifetime of dressing along with a willingness to adapt new ideas and trends into one's lifestyle.The woman below mixes old fashioned charm with contemporary chicness. Her orange suit, although classically cut is made of Neoprene. She is a wonderful example of how one becomes comfortable with certain things like her vintage gloves and classic tailoring, but the unexpected material of her suit exemplifies a willingness and desire to continue to learn, progress and advance.The key to looking stylish is confidence and older people have had time to develop not only a personal sense of style, but a comfort in who they are.

The Carter Burden Center for the Aging Annual Fashion Show
I attended The Carter Burden Center for the Aging 9Th annual fashion show where stylish seniors strutted down the runaway in their most fashionable attire. It was great fun watching these vital ladies and gentleman dance their way down the red carpet strutting their stuff for other senior members and staff.

The center," promotes the well-being of individuals 60 and older through a broad array of direct social services and volunteer programs oriented to individual, family and community needs" and they are "dedicated to supporting the efforts of older people to remain in their own homes living independently, safely and with dignity."

Dress How You Feel, Not By Your Age
One of the many lessons I have learned from the ladies and gentleman of Advanced Style is to dress how you feel. The lady above offered some great advice when I asked about her style inspiration,"You shouldn't dress by age, you should dress how you feel and look the very best you can at whatever age you are." Advanced Style's wonderful videographer Lina Plioplyte captured these fantastic words of wisdom in the clip below.

The Top Ten Ways to Stay Stylish and Look Great at 98
The other day I had the wonderful opportunity to interview an amazingly stylish 98 year old woman by the name of Rose . I met her a few weeks ago when I stopped to take her photo off of Madison Ave. She told me that she never allows anyone to take her picture, and she is not quite sure why she decided to say yes to me that fateful day. After appearing on Advanced Style, her grandchildren emailed me telling me that Rose loved her picture and that I could come by her place and ask a few questions about her life and style! Even more inspiring than Roses' fantastic fashion sense is positive outlook on life; Enjoy every moment and be happy with what you have.At 98, she has more vitality and spirit than most people half her age. Check below for some of her cherished fashion secrets.
Here are Rose's top ten beauty and lifestyle secrets on how to look and feel great at 98
- Find your perfect perfume, people will remember you by your scent. Rose is known for her Pauline Trigere fragrance.She tells her granddaughter "I'll give you anything in the world, but I won't give you my perfume."
- Belts and Beads. Rose believes that a belt or unique strand of beads can really make an outfit and they don't have to cost a fortune.
- Take care of your feet and wear good shoes, but when you are going out for a night on the town "Fashion comes before comfort" At 98, Rose goes out every single night!
- "Walking is a must, its better than doctors or medicine"
- No need to use expensive moisturizers, Rose swears by Oil of Olay which she has been using for decades.
- "Inexspensive lipstick is as good as expensive, only better!" Rose has tried every brand from Chanel to Lauder and has recently been turned on to Revlon.
- Be Unique: "If Everyone is wearing it, then its not for me"
- "Be smart enough to know what you don't know"
- If you have trouble reading the dinner menu, Lorgnettes are a fashionable and elegant alternative to reading glasses(see example above)
- "Be Happy, enjoy what you have at every moment!"

Gitte Lee Models For Celine
Who better to capture the style and elegance of Celine than my gorgeous friend Gitte Lee. You may recognize her from some of my previous posts but it seems I'm not the only one who appreciates her beauty and vibrancy these days. She lends a sophistication and charm to anything she does. Bravo to to Celine for recognizing such a wonderful individual and for using an older woman in their campaign.

The Art of Simplicity:Dress to Suit Your Mood
Advanced Style is about personal style and expression. Oftentimes I feature people who wear bright colors and unexpected pairings of patterns. I have come to appreciate those who are daring, who get older and bolder, who take risks and live life to the fullest.
On the opposite side of the style spectrum are those who keep it simple and elegant. Their style shines, through their graceful and elegant approach to fashion and aging. The ladies above look chic, comfortable and confident. The Advanced Stylistas have taught me that you can dress to suit your mood, some days simple, others more eccentric, as long as you feel beautiful and comfortable!

A Well Designed Cane
The other day I went to visit the offices of a wonderful company called OMHU. The staff there believes that life is both imperfect and beautiful and their aim is to," change the way people think and feel about aging and disability" by offering "joyful products that support people's abilities as they change throughout life."
I photographed Carolyn Korb,mother of one of the company's founders, with one of OMHU's striking canes. The cane is not only well designed and beautifully constructed, but it is the perfect mobility aid for the modern age. One doesn't have to hide their metal cane any longer, in fact they can proudly display their independence with a stylish and contemporary option. For more details on OMHU check out their informative blog http://omhublog.blogspot.com/ .

Following in Mama's Footsteps
This super fashionable lady was walking down 5Th Ave when I stopped her for a quick photo. I asked her about her style influences and she replied, " I learned from my Mama." Ladies often tell me that they have inherited their mothers' good taste or desire to dress up. I know this is part of the reason I am interested in fashion and style. If you want to know a little more about what influences me to do Advanced style Check out this link from a recent profile in the New York Times!

The OGs Fashion Advice
If you have ever seen the OGs website, you know that 93 year old Cuties Cooper gives advice about everything from relationships to fashion. I found this site a few weeks ago and was thrilled to see how The Coopers' grandchildren have found a way to share the life,love, and adventures of their amazing grandparents. I asked Cutie and her granddaughter Kim if they would make a video that would share The OGs' advice on fashion and style. Cutie believes in wearing timeless pieces that are simple, elegant, and can be worn throughout the years with updates. She also wants you to know that you're never so old that it's okay to be a frump!" Thank you to Cutie and Kim for this wonderful video.

Embrace Your Age
I got a phone call the other day that made me feel really good about what I am doing. My friend Lynn Dell called to tell me that lately she has been proudly telling everyone her age. At 77 Lynn is hardworking,full of life and absolutely gorgeous. She never felt the need to tell anyone how old she was, but she explained to me that having her picture taken for Advanced Style has made her proud to proclaim her age aloud. She loves the positive reaction and how her outlook on life affects others. Check out the other amazing ladies above who proudly told me their age. Lynn Dell also has a new page on Advanced Style which can be found on the sidebar.
If you are proud of your age send me a photo(jpegs only) along with your age to email@example.com for our I'm Proud To Be___ Years Old page.
