Host Profile
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – When U.S. District Judge Stephen P. Friot of Oklahoma City was recruited in 2006 to host his first Open World rule of law delegation, little did he expect that the experience would open an entirely new chapter in his professional life. Not only has Judge Friot become a regular judicial host for Open World, but he has also made several reciprocal trips to cities across Russia to lecture on rule of law topics and reunite with alumni of his high-quality and high-energy Open World programs. Judge Friot's Russian delegates have had a wide variety of interests, including criminal law, administrative law, human rights law, juvenile law, domestic violence law, and civil practice. One constant is that his delegates want to see how U.S. jury trials are conducted. (Not many Russian jurists have experience with jury trials, which have only recently been reintroduced in Russia.) "Our Open World delegates really do learn a lot simply from observing jury-trial proceedings in open court," Judge Friot says. In addition to scheduling courtroom observation, Judge Friot regularly arranges for his delegations to have sessions at the law schools in central Oklahoma. This past fall, for example, administrators and faculty from Lobachevsky State University Faculty of Law in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, spent a day at the University of Oklahoma (OU) College of Law sitting in on a mock trial, attending a class on litigation skills, exploring the role of legal clinics in law students' education, and holding talks with their OU counterparts. As Judge Friot notes, the benefits of these visits flow both ways: "The time our delegates spend at the law schools helps to broaden the horizons of the students who come into contact with them." Highlights from other Open World exchanges hosted by Judge Friot include meeting with former Supreme Court Justice , having Q&A with state and county bar association members about their work and bench-bar relations, and learning about the public legal research facilities available at the Oklahoma County Courthouse. The cultural highlight of most of his exchanges is a dinner on a working ranch, complete with a cowboy and roaming buffalo. Judge Friot works with the Rotary Club of Oklahoma City on the cultural and home-hosting components of the exchanges. Judge Friot firmly believes that Open World rule of law exchanges will benefit Russian justice. "When we talk about 'rule of law,'" he says, "we are, essentially, talking about such values as openness, transparency, and independence, consisting of freedom from command influence, political influence, and other extraneous influences. Our Open World delegates have the opportunity to see that those values permeate every corner of our judicial system. Over the long haul, there just cannot be any doubt that our delegates' experience as Open World participants gives them the tools to be more effective in advocating, and creating, the judicial system to which they clearly do aspire."

For some, it's alcohol and cigarettes. For me, it was fast food and TV. I remember making more trips to fast food restaurants than to the gym and I was literally on a first name basis with the girl that worked the lunch shift at the burger place on the corner.
I remember slowly going up a pants size … then another … and another. I snacked on leftovers, breezed thru drive-thrus and did not set aside any time to exercise. I put myself last on the list of "things to do" but never seemed to get that far down the list.
That was until one day it "clicked." I was sick of being tired and overweight and unhealthy. I had just given birth to my third child six months earlier when it hit me like a ton of bricks. I not only needed and wanted to be healthy for my three young children but also for myself. I wanted to be an example of a strong and healthy mom and, most of all, I realized that I was worth spending the time it took to plan meals to eat healthy and get my daily workouts. I was ready.
At this point I was approaching 200 pounds. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror [3] and I was feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. I started slowly. I cut down my fast-food consumption from several times a week to once a week. I made slow changes to my diet and educated myself on the importance of clean eating. I subscribed to Oxygen [4] magazine and bought Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet book. From those resources, I got lots of new workout and recipe ideas. It opened up a whole new world for me. It did take more time to plan and prepare healthy things but I knew that the payoff would be priceless. So I started working out consistently and eating clean and the pounds started coming off.
I realized that it's like building a house. You can't build your dream home without the knowledge and the tools to do so. I was not going to be able to build my dream body alone. I used The Eat Clean Diet to learn how to eat right. There were so many ideas of ways to mix up recipes and workouts that before long, I had a huge knowledge base and was prepared and confident. The more fit I got, the more fit I wanted to be. It was such an amazing thing to see what could happen when I believed in myself and fully committed to something. After dropping the first 20 pounds or so, I got a trainer that would help me keep on track and focused. Over the course of five months or so, I was down over 40 pounds. I decided to take the ultimate challenge and I started training for a marathon. I trained with a group for about four months and completed my first marathon. I was so proud. The marathon represented, to me, my weight-loss journey. It was tough and there were times I wasn't sure if I was going to finish and wanted to give up. But, most of all, it was a concrete example of how I had wanted something, believed in myself, prepared myself and did it! I have gone from a starting weight of 192 to a current 127 lbs – having lost 65 lbs!
I am still working hard and have so many upcoming goals and dreams and I know I will accomplish them. This journey has taught me that you really can do whatever you put your mind to. You just believe in yourself and visualize what you want and you will make it happen. The possibilities truly are endless. I had my first fitness photo shoot and that was so exciting. If you had told me a year ago that I would be on Miami Beach in a bikini with a photographer, I would have thought you were out of your mind. But I did it.

Failure to avoid fight often ends tragically
Published: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.

Some local attorneys quietly predicted George Zimmerman would be found not guilty, even after late in the trail when the judge allowed manslaughter to be considered. They reasoned there were only two people who truly knew what took place and, in a trial riddled with conflicting testimony, only one person was alive to tell the story.
Within the past two weeks there were multiple murders in various large cities across the country, around 50, for example reported in Chicago. Much of the nation, however, became engrossed in the Zimmerman trail for the better part of a month.
The Trayvon Martin shooting now has a Wikipedia entry.
Most believe the case was about race — Zimmerman of mixed descent and Martin, a young black teenager. The trial, however, became more about law and the prosecution's failure to prove its case. From the start, second-degree murder would be difficult to prove. As one pundit said, it would be nearly impossible to prove that Zimmerman intended to kill the young man at any point in the altercation.
When the prosecution felt the case slipping away, it attempted to invoke a third charge — child abuse — which seemed a stretch.
As it were, we watched from afar and caught snippets of testimony and drew our own conclusions, much as we did during the trials of O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake, Claus Von Bülow and Casey Anthony.
There were intriguing questions that went unanswered, not the least of which was why the defendant had no blood on his clothing if in fact Martin was on top of Zimmerman during the fight when the fatal shot was fired.
To the credit of both families, the Zimmermans and Martins, they have asked for calm to prevail as protests crop up across the country. Reportedly, both families have received death threats.
To be sure, life will never be the same for either family. The Martins have lost a son and will never believe justice has been served. Zimmerman may be a free man, but he's a marked man in many ways. He will likely spend the rest of his life in hiding.
One of the few things certain in the case is that one of the two, or perhaps both, could have avoided a confrontation on the night in question.
If we can take anything away from this case, it would be a lesson in walking, or running, away when we sense the possibility of trouble.

Since its humble beginnings in New York City, hip-hop culture – the MC, the DJ, the graffiti writer and the breakdancer – became one of the single most important forms of expression for young people on this planet.
On November 11, 1999, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum launched the world's first major exhibition on hip-hop culture. The exhibit filled three floors with interactive computer stations, video installations, rarely seen photos and long-forgotten fashions. It also included hundreds of artifacts representing the whole range of hip-hop artists, from such pioneers as DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa to such stars as Missy Elliott, Wyclef Jean, Ma$e, Puff Daddy and others.
The Roots examined the beginnings of hip-hop through rarely seen photos, vintage clothing, audio equipment from the Seventies and early Eighties, a video installation and an entire wall of party and club handbills.
The Golden Era spanned the mid-Eighties through 1990, hip-hop's most creative and influential period. This era produced the remarkable rhyme skills of Rakim and Slick Rick, the feminist flavor of Salt n' Pepa, MC Lyte and Queen Latifah, the agitprop poetry of Public Enemy and the gangsta soundtrack of NWA. A video installation accompanied this section.
Controversy, Outrage and the Rise of Gangsta Rap documented the shift from a largely diverse art form to the subculture of gangsta rap, which came to dominate the radio and garner the bulk of the media's attention. 2 Live Crew's infamous obscenity trial and the intense criticism of Ice-T's "Cop Killer" solidified hip-hop's presence in mainstream America. By the mid-1990s, hip-hop would lose two of its major icons to tragedy — first Tupac Shakur, then the Notorious B.I.G. were the victims of still-unsolved drive-by shootings.
Pop Goes the Culture underscored the incredible pop success of hip-hop. Beginning with MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice in the early 1990s, hip-hop reigned over the pop charts and influenced both R&B acts, like TLC and R. Kelly, and rock acts including Limp Bizkit, Korn and Kid Rock. Hip-hop's influence is also clearly marked in the fashion industry, where it enjoys phenomenal popularity among millions of young people around the globe. Hip-hop's mainstream invasion also extends to language – words like "dis'" and "yo" are now a part of the American vocabulary – and the way Madison Avenue markets to young America.
"We've been visiting the Rock Hall for three years, about two times per year. Your displays are fabulous and we learn something new each time we're here...It's even allowing us to teach our 9-year-old son about all music...So do we think it's worth a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Dayton, Ohio in the pouring rain? You bet! Rock on." "Wow - This is the music of our lives. This place is awesome - extremely impressive. We grew up on Alan Freed, Bandstand and Cousin Brucie. Keep up the good work - we'll be back."

|Small earns WAC Freshman of the Year
DENVER - Record-setting Idaho freshman Chelsea Small has been selected the Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year for women's soccer, as announced by the league Wednesday.
In addition to her WAC Freshman of the Year honor, she was also chosen to the all-WAC First Team. She is the first Idaho player to earn either honor in the WAC.
Small, a first-year forward from Solana Beach, Calif. (Torrey Pines HS), led the Vandals with eight goals and four assists on the year, for a freshman-record-tying total of 20 points. Emily Nelson also scored 20 points in 2000 with nine goals and two assists.
Small led the WAC with 101 shots for the season. In addition to being the best in the conference it is also an Idaho school record. The previous record, also formerly held by Nelson, was 70 shots in 2002. Small's eight goals and 20 points are also tied for fourth and her two game-winners and four assists are tied for fifth in Idaho single-season history.
Small was the only Vandal player represented on the all-WAC teams and she was the only freshman to earn first-team mention.
Offensive Player of the Year: Shantel Flanary, So., F, Utah State
First Team all-WAC
Second Team all-WAC

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Right Here, Right Now exhibit celebrates today's most popular music artists. Right Here, Right Now takes a look at the evolution of rock and roll and its impact on the next generation of artists by taking visitors on an intimate journey into the stories of chart-topping acts as told through their personal items and clothing from iconic performances. The exhibit features thought-provoking text panels and interactive displays where visitors can see and hear how these contemporary artists have made an impact during the new millennium.
We made a trip to the 2014 Bunbury Music Festival in Cincinnati to talk with Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz about having artifacts from the Young Blood Chronicles video series on display, their influences, the Alternative Press Awards and what's next for the Chicago band.
On filming the Young Blood Chronicles:
Pete Wentz- "Putting together the whole Young Blood Chronicles was pretty insane. The way that it sounds like a good idea to do, or simple idea to do, like an 11 video narrative story; but it was much more complex than we thought, and took about nine months or a year to do."
Patrick Stump- "Yeah, and it's pretty funny. Over the cores of nine months; it's not like it took us nine months to shoot it, it was that, you do three videos in one sitting, and then, whatever; tour for a couple months and then come back, do another batch of them. So continuity was a really crazy thing; having to try and remember, you're like 'where am I in this scene,' you know, that thing. It was quite a feat. And that was just one element; I mean there were so many things. Trying to mobilize that many people to get it together and everything, it was crazy."
On working with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Elton John:
Patrick Stump- "I mean, I think the more pro the person is that you're working with the less of a session it really is; and Elton was like that, where, you know, he came in ready to go. And we were basically told he was going to be there for, 'Well he's going to be here for two hours exactly, so you have him for two hours,' And we ended up hanging out and talking a little bit longer than that. But basically when he showed up at 11 am, or whatever, he was ready to go. He walks in, well first he says 'hi 'and whatever, you know, meets everybody. But then he walks in the vocal booth, and we press record and we start going, he knew the part; he knew what he was doing. So it was very smooth, but it was also really crazy to be in a position to have to tell Elton John how to sing, what to sing, and that kind of thing. It was a little intimidating, but he was great, and very easy to work with. "
What's it like knowing your featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland?
Patrick Stump- "I feel like we're always waiting for someone to figure it out, and the jig to just be up. You know, like when we play these big venues, or when we get to go to these award shows, or we have some of our artifacts in the Hall of Fame, or whatever, like, you kind of think to your self like, 'yeah, like this is like a "Banksy" (graffiti artist) thing,' where someone just hung up a scribble in a art museum isn't it, you know."
Pete Wentz- "To me it feels like, I don't know, like it's humbling in some way. Because somewhere someone decided to include you with that, you know; and it's cool because those are all, obviously, colossal artists that we looked up and have continued to look up to, and some of those are artists, like the reason any of us in this band started playing instruments. So, I don't know, it's a big honor, you know, like it's a big deal."
Were you influenced by any 2014 Rock Hall Inductees?
Pete Wentz- "Cat Stevens is one that early on my parents used to play for me; and then I followed a lot of his stuff when he switched his name to Yusuf Islam, and stuff. I didn't really like know about. It was interesting, when I got older, and learning about when he first came over and stuff. I didn't really like know that there was such, like a boy band element to it, or whatever, which was really cool. But in general though a couple of the artists."
Patrick Stump- "I was going to say the E-Street Band is the huge influence. I mean there is a lot of things, in the way that, I think for a band like us, we had a very strange transition from being a little basement band, you know, and playing community centers and that kind of thing; into playing amphitheaters and that kind of thing, which is just crazy. It's hard to really understand, and I feel like, somebody like the E-Street Band figured out how to do it in a way that you always felt like you were in the basement with them. But they could take their show anywhere, you know, and, I don't know, it still feels intimate. You wouldn't feel band seeing them with 100,000 people or 10 people. You know, it still feels like, that you're right on stage with them and I think that's something that we strive for."
What does it mean to be honored at the 2014 Alternative Press Music Awards in Cleveland?
Pete Wentz- "I think that it's, again, it's one of those things where it's cool to see the peer group that people consider you in. Whether, whatever awards we've been nominated for. At the same time, like, we've never done this band to, you know, fill trophy cases, or anything like that. I think it's really cool to be acknowledged, and to be acknowledged by a magazine that we've grown up with, you know; and it supported our band really early on. Yea, it's cool to be able to go and get drunk at an awards show and see who else is going to win awards, and hopefully run into, like, Billy Corgan and stuff like that. But, I don't know, I think that music and art is such a weird thing. It's cool to be honored for the thing you do. I think it's cool for us to be recognized by our community, and it's cool for us be able to acknowledge our fans and our fan base; cause they're the people who go out and vote for these awards, and that really makes us appreciate it. But in general, we've never been a big awards band, like I don't know, we get nominated sometimes, but I don't really know. But it's a big deal that there is a bunch of fan voted awards, that's like the best part of it to me."
Other Rock Hall Inductees and/or AP Award honorees who've influenced you?
Pete Wentz- "I mean, I think in general, it's hard to come up in the rock scene in Chicago, and not have been touched by the Smashing Pumpkins legacy and Billy. We happen to cross paths with him a couple times, and he has always been really nice to us, and then to me personally. But I'm sure other guys in the band; like Slash is the first guitarist to me when I was like, 'Oh the Slash solo,' you know, like, you always remember, like, a vocal part, a lyric or something like that. I just remembered through Guns 'N Roses there was a bunch of times where I was like, 'Oh yeah, and the solo from that song,' or like in November Rain there are two epic solos."
Patrick Stump- "And then Joan Jett, I think she's amazing because, first off, there's not a lot of like female guitarists that get afforded the space in rock history where you don't, it's almost insane to think of her as a female guitarist, she's just a guitarist, she's just a player, she's just a singer, like you don't really even think of it. And I think that's something, that's kind of credit to how awesome she is; and how huge her impact was. The way she kicked in the doors, you know, that like; you just, it's all secondary. And it's a thing that like, unfortunately, even in this conversation I have to bring it up. But like it was so important that she was able to do that, you know, I mean she still kicks ass; she's still bad-ass."
What's next for Fall Out Boy?
Pete Wentz- "So with Fall Out Boy, currently we're focused on the Save Rock and Roll album and album cycle; so we'll finish off this tour in the U.S. with Paramore. And then we head to South Africa to do the last Save Rock and Roll live shows. And then I don't know, I don't really know what the future holds. I think that a couple of times we've been taken out of context, and saying that we were like working on music or not working on music, Music is in the conversation, it's like art, you do it all the time, but it's like sometimes it's just a scribble in your notebook and it doesn't really matter, and other times, you're like actually working on an oil painting or something. And I would say that we're more at the 'scribbles in the notebook' point."
Patrick Stump- "Yeah, that's a great comparison. I feel like any painter is probably painting everyday, but that doesn't mean you're going to see any of those paintings any time soon. Because, like, half the time they get half way through it, and then paint over them and whatever, or throw it out. Just because we're working everyday, that doesn't mean we have a record anytime soon."

Travel writers share brilliant tips on how to save money while vacationing
If you can redeem frequent flier miles, Robert Reid, U.S. travel editor for Lonely Planet, suggests looking at first-class tickets. If you're paying cash, first class normally costs two to three times as much as an economy seat. But if you're using award travel miles, first class often uses only 25 percent extra miles.
Don't settle on the first travel itinerary you find. "I was playing with Delta miles recently, and found I could get a round-trip ticket to Tanzania for fewer miles than Lisbon!" says Reid. "That means African beaches and setting up safaris, or going to Freddie Mercury's birthplace at Zanzibar. Suddenly something more exotic felt a lot more attainable."
Skip the car when you're traveling to pedestrian-friendly cities in the Northeast. "Cities like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and D.C. are accessible by fleets like Megabus and Bolt Bus, with fares frequently less than $5," says Reid.
A great way to take a trip for less is to study a foreign language in a low-cost country. "One of the best value trips I've taken is studying Spanish in Guatemala. For about $150 a week, you can get a family home stay, meals and 20 hours of private instruction with good tutors," says Reid. This is also a great way to immerse yourself in the culture and connect with locals.
The holiday season is prime time for airlines, which can make many flights too costly to consider. If you're intent on getting away over the holiday, consider traveling on the actual holiday dates. As an example, "A flight from N.Y. to Rome, Italy, from December 22 to January 2 prices out today at $1,462," Chief Explorateur officer Gabriella Riberiero says. "But if you don't mind traveling on Christmas Day, returning on New Year's Day, the fare drops to $1,052, saving you over $400."
Pack light and take only essentials. Be sure to leave room in your luggage for souvenirs and other goodies so you don't come back overstuffed. The checked-bag fees for airlines continue to go up. An additional tip: Travel with inflatable or small, collectible toys if you are bringing gifts so they don't weigh you down, says Riberiero.
Before traveling, contact your hotel and ask if there's any sort of discount being offered. "If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or special occasion, shout it out," says Riberiero. Booking travel online limits your prearrival contact with the hotel, so speak up to ensure you get whatever special treatment you deserve.
Take advantage of the lower-cost spa services abroad. "Treatments that cost a bomb back home are often far cheaper overseas. That may include beach pedicures in Bali, leg-hair threading in Vietnam or having your dead skin nibbled off by doctor fish in Hong Kong," says Lonely Planet author Sarah Baxter.
Cut U.S. phone-company roaming charges by purchasing or renting a phone from the country you are traveling in. You could also buy a local SIM card. "Most places in the world have pay-per-minute cell phone services you can top-up as you need. These can cost anywhere from about $3 to $50 plus minutes," says travel writer Celeste Brash.
Eating at upscale restaurants for lunch and cutting back at dinner can keep you from overspending. "Lunch menus are almost always less expensive than dinner menus, so you can try the region's best food without destroying your budget," suggests Brash.
"Walking tour maps are available for free or at a very low cost at many tourist offices. These are fun ways to discover the subtle details of a town, get sidetracked if you want and get a bit of exercise," says Brash.
College and university accommodations are great options if you're looking for lodging on a super-low budget. "Schools often have housing for conferences or visitors for much less money than a hotel room of similar standard, and in the summer many schools rent out empty dorm rooms and apartments," Brash says. "In Canada these can start at 30 U.S. dollars per night."
A major airline carrier, like U.S. Airways, Delta or United for instance, might be cheaper when you consider baggage fees, booking charges, and transfers from distant airports which are often not included when you travel with a less-known carrier, says Meg Nesterov, contributor to Gadling.com and an American expat living in Istanbul. "I recently found a London flight to work out cheaper on British Airways than EasyJet after factoring in all the fees, plus BA had more flexible flight times and convenient airport hubs," says Nesterov.
It's easy to underestimate travel expenses. "Remember to factor in hidden costs such as tipping, airport taxes, port charges, airport parking, shore excursions, and entrance fees," says Terrence Zepke, author of The Encyclopedia of Cheap Travel: Save Up to 90% on Lodging, Flights, Tours, Cruises, and More!
Save money by purchasing rail passes and theater tickets online before you leave. "Buy a pass that bundles admission to several popular attractions. You can find them on such sites as CityPass.net," says Zepke. Be sure to take the credit card you used to buy the ticket with you so you can prove you've already paid.
"Find destination inspiration and information in local specialty publications," says Nesterov. Some of her favorites: in-flight magazines on small airlines or local English-language newspapers.
Creating a Google custom search is a great way to keep information relevant and tailored to fit your travel plans. "I created a custom search using all the major travel publications and guidebook websites, newspaper travel sections and favorite personal blogs to search for travel information and add to it regularly when I find new favorite sites. It cuts out the websites you don't care about and focuses on content you trust," Nesterov says.
In France, a budgeting tip is to stay in gîtes or holiday homes. A gîte might be a free-standing rental house or a room in an owner-occupied bed-and-breakfast. "Gîtes offer fabulous value, allowing visitors to spend a fraction of what they'd need to cough up for a hotel," says Alex Robertson Textor, contributor to Gadling.com. "Play around with the Gîtes de France website and you'll find that €150 can get you and your honey a beautiful converted farmhouse for a week in Normandy during high season."
WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. WWOOF pairs up volunteers with agricultural and maintenance work on
organic farms around the world. It is a great way to supplement vacation with volunteer work. "Volunteers pay nothing for their accommodations or meals and they are not compensated for their labor," Textor says.
The Caribbean is an expensive region with pricey accommodations, but there are plenty of opportunities to cut costs by camping. "There are several campgrounds in the U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago's Department of Agriculture operates a number of campsites as well," Textor says.

There are over 1,600 trade shows each year in the United States alone. And if your business has an overseas market, then you have access to hundreds more. This means that your company can not afford to waste time, money, or resources on things that will not help to improve or expand its current opportunities. So, to maximize the return on your company's investment of participating in trade shows, you need to be more strategic. A trade show marketing plan, a product mission statement, and an exhibit design company that can help you deliver the goods.
In any business venture where there are package deals, often times, that is where you will get your money's worth. For example, when your company is marketing a new product, then it is more prudent to register for trade shows that will give you the most exposure to your target population. So that you will maximize the opportunity to make sales or contact with potential customers. As it is when you are planning to attend a show or convention as a participant with an exhibit booth. Look for a booth or exhibit design company that offers the total package.
In the world of trade show booth designs, that total package includes the designer knowing the details of the marketing plan, the company's mission statement regarding the product or service, and complete transportation and setup of the exhibit booth. A custom designed exhibit can make all the difference in how your product or service is perceived by others. In real estate, "staging" a house helps to make it more attractive to potential buyers. The same is true for products and services at a trade show.
Professional booth and exhibit designers know how to "stage" an item, so that its best features are highlighted. And whether your company buys or rents the booth's main frame features, the design company should offer the service of transportation and setup. If not, then your company will risk not having an exhibit that produced its maximum result potential. Custom exhibit design companies know the intricacies of their designs. They know how the display was built to function and how it goes together. This transportation and setup service will save your company the embarrassment of not having a fully functioning exhibit.
If your company has more than one trade show scheduled for a specific product then storage for the booth's set components will become an issue. A total package design company will have a booth breakdown and storage option. In essence the design company will be with you for the life of the exhibit because your success is their success. which is why you need this booth designs company! Your trade show marketing plan is the measuring stick that should be use to indicate the success of the booth or exhibit. A total package design company should offer a exhibit design adjustment service, if the marketing plan was not successful. A design company that takes care of the details will make your company's trade show experience a worthy investment.

Do and J of Piggy Bank Parties created the most UNBELIEVABLE banner I have ever, ever, ever seen!!! The panels were inspired by secret codes and circuit boards and could be put together like puzzle pieces. The magnifying glass had a transparent glass center and 3D fisheye letters that looked like they were being magnified. How they made this out of paper is beyond me. Again, they are AMAZING!!!!

On the Record
Brief reporters before severe weather hits. Having complete background information helps them formulate coverage under tight deadlines.
Former Louisville, Ky., communications coordinator Allison Martin scheduled ride-alongs with public works crews to give reporters a first-hand look at how the department operates and provide a human-interest angle at the same time. Photo: Louisville Metro Government
Louisville residents and media could visit the city's Web site to check the progress of cleanup efforts after a winter ice storm. Public Works' Planning Division created the map using the city's geodatabase.
In January, an ice storm took out enough tree limbs to fill a football field 200 feet high. Photo: Louisville Metro Government
In 1997, the most severe flood Fargo, N.D., residents had ever experienced inundated three miles of farmland along the Red River, and Public Works Director of Operations Dennis Walaker was feeling the heat.
Although sandbags would ultimately save much of the city from the record crest of 39.5 feet, rumors were circulating that the 15-mgd wastewater treatment plant had exceeded capacity and that the city's water was contaminated. Walaker also faced sharp criticism from his employees, who complained about learning of the city's flood response from the local media.
Though the plant was running at capacity and an illegal discharge wasn't imminent, Walaker scrambled to separate truth from rumor during press conferences.
Seven years later and more than 900 miles to the southeast, Louisville, Ky., Public Works Director Jim Adkins found himself in a similar position when a winter storm dumped 18 inches of snow and freezing rain in 24 hours. "The storm of the century" was one of the worst emergencies the city of 539,000 had experienced.
About 170 vehicles were deployed to priority and secondary routes, dropping 13,000 tons of salt on 2,300 miles of roads around the clock. Still, the media became critical. Reporters commented on air about their own streets not being plowed and that city trucks were nowhere to be found. For five days, Adkins' efforts to oversee his department's response were interrupted by media calls. At one point he conducted 35 interviews in 12 hours.
After the storm, the department revised its communications plan for weather-related events. Now, e-mail alerts are sent to local media four times daily — before each major television newscast — highlighting the progress of response efforts.
"It transforms coverage," says Allison Martin, a former television reporter who was hired as deputy communications director to coordinate messaging during future events. "The media calls dry up."
It's all about being proactive and communicating preparations before severe weather hits. Also, communicating directly to the media isn't the only way to manage the message.
A devastating wind storm from Hurricane Ike knocked out power to 300,000 Louisville residents for up to two weeks last September. In its wake, the city's Public Works' Planning Division created a layer for the city's GIS map that divides the city's 386 square miles into 76 equally sized sections. As soon as crews reported an area of the grid was clear of downed trees and other debris, the division updated the map, which residents can access on the city's Web site.
So when an ice storm hit four months later, the department was prepared to deal with inquiries about its cleanup efforts. More than 200 public works and private contractor employees worked 12 hours a day for up to seven consecutive days to open a dozen roads. Even so, the city's 311 call center fielded up to 60 complaints daily.
Ordinarily, the complaints would have caught the attention of local media, which in turn would have taken advantage of the "gotcha" moment in their coverage. "It's hard to explain to 700,000 people at the same time that you're doing everything you can," says Kerri Richardson, another former television reporter who replaced Martin last year. But this time, operators referred residents and journalists to the online map.
At least one member of the media used it to generate articles about the city's recovery process.
"It drilled a couple stories about where the effort was at, especially after it became clear that there was no way the cleanup was going to be done by the Kentucky Derby on May 2," says Dan Klepal, metro government reporter at the Louisville Courier-Journal.
His stories triggered an online debate among readers about who was ultimately responsible for cleaning up: the city or residents. Public works crews were confronted with greater-than-anticipated volumes when residents began hauling debris from their yards to the curb, extending the deadline for cleanup well beyond initial estimates of a month or two. The last of the debris was hauled away at the end of May.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by xeejay Great Deal Over a year ago, I brought this in the Cary, NC store when it on sale for 100. I love it! Assembly was minimal and extremely easy. I use it as a computer desk in my living room, it is very compact and blends with my décor. February 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by metallunchbox Great, solid vanity table at a great price! I was super pleased when I received this vanity table. It was easy and quick to assemble and the material it's made out of is durable and very attractive. The style is modern yet classic, clean lines and dark wood can rarely go wrong. I did not buy the matching stool/bench because I have my own but this vanity is a perfect piece for your bedroom, makes my morning makeup routine so much more convenient and enjoyable! November 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LisaLee Excellent purchase! This vanity is beautiful -- real wood, beautifully finished, and easy to put together. I've wanted a vanity for years, and this is perfect. We have the Chase dressers and bedside tables, and couldn't be happier. I love it! November 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lisalisa no charging station I just bought this and it doesn't have a charging station as listed. Also, the mirror is in fact too short. but it's also pretty far away from where you're sitting- i think it's more for putting on jewelry. i would just get a makeup mirror if that's what you want this for. i bought the milk can storage stool to go with and it looks good. drawers work well. jewelry divider is just a bunch of small boxes- no ring rolls or anything jewelry-specific. can be used for anything, or removed altogether. looks simple and unassuming in the corner. but if the mirror is non-functional, you might as well just get a desk. January 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by honihoni Great Buy This vanity is fantastic. I didn't really want it for storing makeup since I have a traincase for that but I wanted a jewelry compartment. I checked out several stores and even found one for half the price of this one but it just wasn't what I wanted. This vanity is perfect for storing jewelry and other valuables (and hiding!) Most people won't even realize the mid section opens if you place a lamp or plant on the center. Bonus: It matches my bedroom furniture. October 14, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by GK Perfect! I bought the vanity, stool and night stand and all three pieces are perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Very happy with this purchase and the customer service from WM is unbeatable! September 2, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by DD Great Vanity I really love this vanity. I was a little concerned about purchasing, budget-wise, but it was worth every penny and it will last long. It's perfect for jewelry in the center because it has a whole bunch of compartments to store stuff in. And then I used the side drawers for my make up so I can get ready there. I didn't buy the stool so I can't rate that but the vanity is a great purchase! February 23, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy Great quality I saw this vanity in the store while I was on vacation. There was no way to get it home. While I was checking out with some smaller items the very helpful salesman mentioned that WorldMarket was on-line. I ordered this vanity and the matching bench seat as soon I returned home. [...] very easy to assemble. If space is an issue, I would highly recommend these items. January 8, 2011

ZF-4691: Problem with multiple dots in the file name
Zend_Validate_File fails to identify the file extension of file names with more than one dot.
For example: File name: 41E6HW92CYL.AA240.jpg Extension determined by Zend_Validate_File: AA240.jpg
I don't see how you should get this output.
In both, branch 1.6 and trunk (1.7) the extension is detected by
substr($file['name'], strrpos($file['name'], '.') + 1);
in the isValid method. As you see the extension is the last rightest dot to the end. (str r pos). Both files are 5 weeks old and should be in 1.6 as also 1.7 Pre.
Not in 1.6.1.... but as I said... this bug was solved 5 weeks ago before 1.6.2 has been released. Maybe you are using 1.6.1 and not 1.6.2 ?
Yes you are right, I'm using 1.6.1.
Didn't find a ticket for it though.

Sipping wine is meant to be done at a leisurely pace, which is why the concept behind the Winter Park Sip makes so much sense.
For $20 in advance ($25 day of) on June 24, you will receive a wine glass and a lanyard that entitles you to visit 15 participating locations and have that wine glass filled with select wines from 5:30-9 p.m. There also will be appetizers given out along the way to pad your belly for all that vino.
Unlike a pub crawl, you can stay at one place, three places or try out all of the places on the list — it's at your discretion. Stops for the 21-and-up event include: Barnie's Coffee & Tea Co., The Bistro on Park Avenue, Café de France, Hot Olives, Luma on Park, Mi Tomatina Paella Bar, Nelore Churrascaria, Orchid Thai Cuisine, Panera Bread, Park Plaza Gardens, Spice Modern Steakhouse, The Spice & Tea Exchange, Trattoria Toscana, Tropical Smoothie Café, Vino!, Circa and Bosphorous Restaurant.
Check in is at Central Park at 111 N. Park Ave. South in Winter Park. Call 407-644-8281 or go to winterpark.org. And, as if I didn't have to tell you, this is a 21-and-up event.

Why Benazir Bhutto Returned to Pakistan[Editor's note: On December 27, 2007, Benazir Bhutto was assassinated at a political rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, in an attack that killed 22 other people. Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party, now led by her widower Asif Ali Zardari, won the largest number of seats in Pakistan's February 18, 2008 elections.With the recent publication of her book, Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy, and the West, we hope that this intimate profile of Bhutto — one of the last written before her death — will be of renewed interest.]Caesar is barking in the courtyard. When I pass him, he pulls at his chain, trying to reach me, and not for a pat on the head. He's not a big dog, but he's fierce and muscular, with a mouth full of long, sharp teeth. Caesar is Benazir Bhutto's dog. He's snarling in the background as I proceed on an afternoon in early September to the front door of one of Bhutto's houses, this one in a Middle Eastern country that she has asked me not to identify.Caesar, it occurs to me, is a richly ironic name for the pet of someone who considers herself a freedom fighter and democracy advocate. But then, Bhutto's pets have run the gamut of appellations, and it is perhaps unwise to come to conclusions, ironic or not, based on what she chooses to name them. When she was a fiery opposition leader in Pakistan in 1986, two years before she was first elected prime minister, her cat was called Sugar."Be sure to take Sugar to the vet."Those are the last words Bhutto is reported to have spoken to her staff back then, as she was whisked off to jail in a police car, and not for the first time.When I get past Caesar and into the house, Bhutto is in one of the broad downstairs receiving rooms giving a formal interview to reporters from Al Arabiya television. I can hear her cultured voice going on in English about the need for democratic government in Pakistan and about the problems of the country's increasingly active Islamic fundamentalist enclaves. (Extremist militias now control much of Pakistan's 1,500-mile border with Afghanistan.)After nearly nine years of self-imposed exile, Bhutto is making plans to go home. At presstime, she had set a date of October 18. Because long-standing corruption charges against her may end up being dropped, she will probably not risk another arrest or deportation upon arrival. Indeed, she may well be allowed to run for prime minister, an office from which she was twice ousted on a variety of charges (all of which she maintains were politically motivated and false). Technically, she is not eligible to serve a third term as premier, but that prohibition may be soon be lifted with the approval of Pakistan's current president, General Pervez Musharraf.Bhutto, who is the chairwoman of the prominent Pakistan Peoples Party, is seizing on a very low moment in Musharraf's popularity to bargain with him. His long alliance with George Bush, his failed attempt at firing Pakistan's popular supreme court chief justice last March and his authorization of a raid last July on an Islamabad mosque, which killed 100 people, all weigh heavily in her favor. An independent poll conducted in late August showed Musharraf with only a 38 percent approval rating, George Bush with nine percent — and Osama bin Laden with 46 percent. Bhutto held a 63 percent approval rating, however. She hopes to use that advantage to restore democracy in her country with herself at the helm, and then convince the Pakistani people that America's antiterrorism agenda is preferable to the al-Qaeda alternative.When I wonder out loud to her about the dangers of returning to Pakistan and about what could possibly motivate her, she tells me, "In the last election, my party took the largest number of votes, despite all the mudslinging that has taken place. I feel I owe a debt to the people to go back." She mentions too that it's not just her role in Pakistan she misses, but the country itself. "I miss the scent of the rain when it falls on the dusty roads," she says. "And the wheat crops in flower. I miss the people; I miss all of our rituals — visiting the graves of our forefathers." Clearly one of the national rituals Bhutto also pines for is the ritual of the push and pull, the high-stakes deal-making that constitutes Pakistani politics.Caesar is a better pet for Bhutto than Sugar right now.

Eighties Baby Shower Theme (9 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Purchased the printables that are found on HWTM.com under baby shower titled "You Spin Me Round Like a Record Baby." Used some of the printables that I received in this package. Wanted to focus on the vinyl aspect for this party. Used the black and white paper that is in the printable kit with some of the signs. FYI when taken to Office Max to print it was formatted to print on legal size paper. I did not have them print this on cardstock for me just the regular paper was fine.
For the banner that I used to give a great impact for the party I took some of my records that I did not care to ruin the back of since I was using adhesive paper that comes in 3 sheets at Michaels. I was able to cut or trim using scissors and for some things my Martha Stewart Circle Cutter. Used (3) 45's and just eyed balled the space I wanted them apart. I pressed lightly on the record when sticking to the ribbon. You can pull this apart if you need to re align just pull carefully. The continued with the next record using (1) 33 lp then (3) more 45's to finish a banner like appearnace on my curtains.
The coolest thing I am very proud of is the "Platinum Vinyl record signature frame" I wanted to have something really unique. I purchased a white metal 11x17 frame at Micahel's and the cardstock I used was by Bazzil paper (Blue Calapyso). Then used one of the printable black and white zigzag from the package on the HWTH.com. When I applied the cardstock I wanted to get as much on there with out having to do alot of cutting! So they paper is a 12x12 that I am using, so not alot had to be cut and some was overlaped. I used your good ole Scotch double sided tape. Worked wonderul! I did not want to use and glue dots or liquid or quick drying since that would still cause problems . The decal with the Rock Star sticker was also at Michael's. I used my Martha Stewart Circle Cutter and the two sizes used are (solid blue card stock was 4 1/16th and the baby boy record off the printable was a 3 1/8th on the baby boy wording printable that I used again.
The other two colors which I used for the middle of the 45's to be put at the front of the table cloth hangin down was a Bazzil Lime Crush and Bazzil Bouquet (dark purple) Just used them to fill in the 45's. For those I just traced and cut those out with scissors since I threw that in the day of the party reall quick. Used the sweet baby boy embellishments in the printable package on the paper cups those with the baby design and on the 45 sweet baby boy. These by scissors since the fancy design.
I went down in the basement and got some of the barbies that I own to put them out for fun! My husband still had the pac-man along with some collectible pepsi cans that I kept. Everyone commented on these items! They loved it! It broke the monotony of a typical shower that you see and or table design. Yes, I did have food. However I did not take pictures I kept it simple to easy finger appetizer foods: Toasted Ravivolli, Spinakopita and Egg Rolls, veggies, Strawberries and pineapple and fruit cream cheese dip along with the Pepsi throwback cans, mello-yello and diet coke with lime.
For Goodie bags since this was smaller I was able to splurge more on the girls so at Michaels I purchased some Razzles and Ring pop candies and pink glitter and black and white polka dot of 3 pack emery boards along with black and white polka dot nail stickers. This is distruburted for Michael's stores only At Wal-mart they have a 2-pack of a decent size of Love's Baby Soft colonge for $6.00. The girls all loved that one! At JCP I found in their jewerly by Carole a pack of 4 colors in neon pink, green , yellow and orange jelly bracelets and jelly rings this came in a set. Their where 4 colors of each kind in the bracelets and 2 of each color in the rings. This was Awesome!
I also made a CD trying to stay away from certian songs on every comp CD and going for other ones not always played. This was my 80's Mixed Tape on CD.
The cupcakes are at a bakery in Chesterfield Mo called "Whiptcream Bakery" I gave them the picture and they matched it and this is fondant.
Hope you enjoy!

We Love Gallery Judaica!
My dearest and I decided to be wed on Valentines Day. Only about a week before the big day, we planned to have traditional Jewish service and needed to find a beautiful Ketuba. We went on line and found Gallery Judaica. I am about the fussiest person I know about details and being sure everything is gorgeous and just right. We also needed to have the Hebrew done beautifully and correctly. This was on Thursday. We found the Ketuba we wanted, Galleria Judaica found a wonderful person in Ohio to do the Hebrew and they put the entire thing together so that we received it in Santa Barbara on Saturday (they even worked it out so that if it was not able to be delivered on Saturday they had a way to get it to us on Sunday!).
In any case, the whole process was a joy, working with Andrew could not have been a greater pleasure. Our wedding came off without a hitch...it was a romantic and beautiful day, on Valentines Day which we will remember for always.
Moral of the Story: Let Gallery Judaica handle whatever they can because they will do it flawlessly. They have beautiful Tallit, menorah, Mezuzah, and everything you may want to make any Jewish celebration or commemoration perfect.
Next advice: Do not take too much time to plan a wedding...it may cause unnecessary stress. Ours was fun, every detail perfectly beautiful and most importantly filled with love to last a lifetime and them some! All in just more than one week of planning.

Nous voulons vous remercier pour l'extraordinaire nuit de noces que nous avons passé dans votre établissement!
Une découverte de la suite Victor Hugo inoubliable, avec l'ambiance des pétales de roses, les petites mignardises qui nous attendaient, le tout dans un thème luxueux, romantique et chaleureux. Un bon petit déjeuner pour le réveil, et surtout l'accueil extraodinaire.
Une nuit de noces extra! inoubliable!
Loïca et Gary LECHEVALLIER
What a delight!! We arrived in Saint-Pierre by ferry and walked to the hotel. We, two couples, had been traveling in Newfoundland for 4 weeks when we made our short visit to France. This hotel was the highlight. The minute we arrived at the hotel, we felt we were in a boutique Parisian hotel. Patricia greeted us and instantly made us feel at home. Our rooms were stunningly decorated, with style and understatement. The dinner recommendation was excellent, directing us to a restaurant that matched all of our expectations.
Food and service were exceptional. Back to the hotel, our comfortable beds and a delicious breakfast the next morning. My husband thought he had returned to his favorite Paris bakery with the butter croissant he enjoyed. The staff was helpful. We were sad to leave this beautifully redone hotel. Our one regret, we did not have time to eat in the cafe adjoining the hotel.

|Tom Davis covered both Brady Hoke and Pete Lembo at Ball State.
Funny how people remember where they were when big events happen.
I'm the same way with Temple football coaches coming and going.
I was there when Wayne Hardin quit, saying something I'll never forget: "Mediocrity is not my cup of tea."
|Pete Lembo is cut from the same
mold as Wayne Hardin and Bruce
Stunned by the thoughtfulness of the gesture, I could only say, "My pleasure. Good luck, Bruce."
We shook hands and that was the last time I saw him. The loss was Temple's. Even Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz mentioned as much in a St. Louis Post-Dispatch interview years later, making a point about fired coaches and saying, "Look at Temple. Firing Bruce Arians set that program back 20 years."
Something told me that Temple would never get two great coaches like that again. More importantly, two great men.
Temple hasn't had one like that since, a "triple-threat" coach (game management, recruiting, CEO ability).
I hope the Owls snatch one of those types now.
While Al Golden was a great program-builder, he was never the game day coach Hardin and Arians were. (Hardin was great; Arians was good.) Golden was a two-tool guy (recruiting, CEO).
Wayne Hardin and Bruce Arians were great coaches and great men, the "haves" in a coaching fraternity of too many "have-nots" and "Might-Haves."
Temple needs a "have" right now.
I'm not sure about him being a great head coach.
I wish I were. Sorry, I'm not. Honestly, nobody is.
Unless you've done the head-coaching thing, metaphysical certainty about how someone will do as a head coach is impossible.
There are really good pluses about both guys, though. Rhule has experience in every facet of building Golden's program except making the final decisions under fire.
Rhule is "might-haves" and, sorry, I can't take that chance. Neither can Temple.
To me, Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco is also a have-not. He would not turn down a once-in-a-generation opportunity to coach Notre Dame in a National Championship game. That game is Jan. 7. Signing day is Feb. 3. Temple needs someone able to fully commit to 24-hour recruiting between now and Feb. 3, being behind the 8-Ball already. Temple got fooled before by a blustery-talking assistant from a big-time program and I hope it isn't fooled again.
Mario Cristobal is also a proven winner as a head coach and I've never heard anything bad about him, personally. He turned down the Rutgers' job and a $1 million pay raise to stay at FIU. There's something to be said for that kind of loyalty.
Owlscoop.com is reporting that Clawson has withdrawn his name from consideration from the coaching search. Owlscoop.com is the only place reporting that. It's not on OwlsDaily. It's not on any of the popular "inside" coaching sites, like footballscoop.com.
I'm hoping that's not true.
Lembo is not being reported as a Temple candidate, but Bradshaw said yesterday that some interviews have yet to be conducted "because their teams are in bowl games" and I'm hoping he means Lembo, whose 9-3 Ball State team is in the Beef O'Brady Bowl. If Temple hasn't reached out to Lembo now, it should.
Cristobal already has interviewed and would be more than acceptable as a Temple coach in my mind, having built Florida International University's program "from a hole in the ground" (his words) into a two-time bowl team.
Todd Bowles was both an NFL and a college coach and recruited for the great Doug Williams at Grambling.
So he, like Rhule, knows about going into homes of kids and looking them and their parents in the eye and saying, "Come to Temple." He won two of three games as a head coach in the NFL, so he knows what to do with a clipboard in his hand and won't freeze up on game day.
Temple needs a have right now.
It had two in Hardin and Arians and it's way past time for a third.
Tomorrow: Reading the tea leaves

She opened the news conference by asking reporters to stand and then singing "The Star Spangled Banner" a cappella -- drawing cheers and applause.
"Any questions?" she said.
"One thing about me, I practice until my feet bleed. I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra. It was a live television show. It was a very important emotional show for me, one of my proudest moments," she said of her performance at the inauguration.
"Due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check, I did not feel comfortable taking a risk. It was about the president, the inauguration. I wanted to make him and my country proud, so I decided to sing along to my prerecorded track, which is very common in the music industry. I'm very proud of my performance."
Beyonce is to sing at Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show.
"I will absolutely be singing live," she said at the press conference. "This is what I was born to do."
