Art by 'Dick and Jane' illustrator Childress on New Hampshire auction block
BROOKLINE, N.H. — In the portrait, the little boy's blue eyes twinkle as he looks straight ahead. His apple cheeks shine. There's a gap in his teeth, and his reddish-brown hair is just slightly tousled. He's an All-American boy.

Get wild, child
The snow is finally gone, the temperature has cracked 60 degrees, and it's time to get outdoors with your kids.
This week is National Wildlife Week, which encourages kids to "unleash their wild child" and learn to discover the world of green outside.
This year's theme, "Be Out There At Home, School and Play," is designed to bring children and their families together in nature, get schools involved in going green, and show kids how the outdoors can be a good play space.
The first National Wildlife Week was more than 70 years age, when kids spent more time climbing trees, skipping stones, and running barefoot in the grass. Today's child spends an average of just four to seven minutes a day outside — compared to 7 hours 38 minutes a day on electronic media, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
This generation of "indoor kids" is missing out on the simple joys found in nature, says Rebecca Garland, executive director of the "Be Out There" campaign.
Lack of outdoor time has been linked to childhood obesity, depression, stress and attention deficit disorder. Time spent with nature improves children's physical, mental and emotional health, boosts classroom performance and encourages conservation stewardship, the foundation says.
Even if you don't live near a forest or open space, here's some ways to enjoy the outdoors, courtesy of the National Wildlife Federation:
— Take a walk in your neighborhood. Get to know the birds and animals that call your neighborhood home. What are they doing this time of year? What are they eating? Can you see any bird nests?
— Check out the trees near your house. Touch the bark, examine the leaves, smell the acorns and seeds.
— Look for insects and spiders and other creepy crawlies.
— Take photos or draw pictures of your wildlife neighbors. Put them into a collage.
— Put some treats out for the birds.
— Join a community garden.
— Visit a local nature center.
Here in Champaign-Urbana, you can explore Busey Woods, a 59-acre nature preserve with seasonal ponds and more. Or see turtles and owls up close at the adjacent Anita Purves Nature Center. Or explore the prairie at Meadowbrook Park and the savannah at Weaver Park.

Javascript issue on admin interface with prepopulated_fields
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
I've noticed that if you have a ModelAdmin with the prepopulated_fields
attribute set to:
prepopulated_fields = {"object_identifier": ("object_type",)}
where the field "object_type" is a dropdown box (that is, has a
choices=CHOICES argument) then the javascript that autofills the
"object_identifier" field does not work properly when you choose an
element with the mouse (what most users do).
To solve this, I modified
replacing the event "onkeyup" on line 5 for "onchange".
I think this change should be applied to trunk.

comment:1 Changed 8 years ago by carljm
If I'm not mistaken, the side effect of using onchange would be that prepopulated fields based on text inputs won't update until the user exits the text input, rather than updating on every keystroke. That seems like a regression to me. Would it be possible to support both cases by hooking into both onkeyup and onchange?

comment:5 Changed 7 years ago by kkubasik
Ok, I have a patch for a bit of a dual-fix.
1) Listens to both events so that mouse or keyboard will get the autopopulation of the field.
2) Handle the 'choice' instance by using the name and not the value of the select box.
Let me know if it looks good.

comment:10 Changed 6 years ago by ubernostrum
- milestone changed from 1.2 to 1.3
I'm going to bump this off the 1.2 milestone, for a couple reasons:
- There are several tickets (this one, #9110, #9264 and #9784) all exposing cases where the event handling for prepopulated_fields falls over in specific edge cases, so the real solution is not to fix any of these individually but rather to make prepopulate_from more robust.
- I suspect the admin-ui work will be coming up for discussion in the 1.3 timeframe, and that's a more solid place to talk about dealing with this.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from assigned to closed
(In [12937]) Fixed #13068, #9264, #9983, #9784 - regression with pre-populated fields and javascript inlines, and related bugs.
Thanks to hejsan for the report, and to Sean Brant and Carl Meyer for the patch.
#13068 is a regression caused by the new javascript inline forms in the
admin. The others were existing javascript bugs with prepopulated fields.
Since the solution depends on jQuery and would likely be very hard to
backport without it, it will not be backported to 1.1.X.

Convenient payments
Union County has taken a positive step to make it easier on citizens to pay their traffic tickets to the Union County Justice Court.
The county has signed a contract with nCourt, a private online technology company, to allow tickets to be paid online with a credit or debit card. The City of New Albany already uses the same system for payments in City Court.
Larissa Edwards, clerk of the Union County Justice Court, said the county will pay nothing for the service, but ticket payers will have what is known as a convenience fee added to their ticket on the online payment.
"They will pay between 5 percent and 8 percent additional," she said. The percentage starts at 5 percent and goes up as the court date approaches, she said.
The fee covers the cost that is paid to the credit or debit card company and the fee for using nCourt's tehnology services.
Under the contract, nCourt will build, host and maintain a Web site with URL, www.unioncotix.com. Users also will be able to call a free 800 phone number to make a payment, but the convenience charge still applies.
Citations that require a court appearance will be ineligible for online payment. Citation holders will be notified by an automated e-mail if their payment has been rejected.
nCourt, which is headquartered in Woodstock, Ga., was created in 2002 and provides custom Web sites for more than 200 local jurisdictions.
Many government units are using the private service because it relieves them of the cost of building and operating a secure Web site.
We see this public-private partnership as an effective pay to provide convenience to citizens without incurring the cost of maintaining expensive technology systems at the local government level.

text: Hi I searched all topics on removing bullets/lists, but none of them really answered my current question...I have set up template and used my own css file instead of default wp-layout.css. Now, I noticed that I have those unsightly bullets next to Categories, Archives and underneath "Filed under <category>" on a separate line. I wanted to change this format so the line would become one line instead of three as indicated in default WP template. I checked my template HTML and CSS, there's no ul or li that I'm using yet for some reason WP kept putting these in my template. I even turned off all ul and li yet they are still there. They're like embedded and those tags don't show up in my template. I upgraded from b2 recently to 1.01-miles. TIA!

Hello, and seasons greetings from Norway. :)
I need to include a widget in the template on a site, where the widget is supplied by an installed plugin. I need this widget under site-admin control, and it needs to show up on every new blog created by users.
I'm sure the method for doing this may vary somewhat depending on the templating support that comes with each plugin, but is there any sort of a catchall method of doing this in a good way?
This is specifically in regards to the WPMS sidebar login widget found here: http://www.7mediaws.org/blog/wpms_sidebar_login_widget.html
I don't see it discussed in the documentation or their forum, so I thought I might ask some of the experts here. Any pointers?

Triathlon Training Nutrition Guide
Swim, bike, run, and repeat. Seems simple, right? But if you think that's all there is to triathlon training, think again. What you eat while you train is just as important as how you're training. "Nutrition is the fourth leg of any triathlon," says triathlete Kim Mueller, RD, owner of Fuel Factor athletic nutrition coaching in San Diego. "A healthy diet has to be part of your lifestyle before training can make an impact. You have to dial your nutrition in from the get-go."
Adventure Race Nutrition Guide >>>
Whether you're going for a sprint triathlon or an Ironman, your training regimen will have your body at it's max. You'll be burning through more energy than most people use in an entire day. And that means you need to eat more. But just like you need the right training plan to dominate the race, you also need the right fuel to power you through. So we asked the experts for their best advice and put together a step-by-step nutrition guide that will bring your tri-performance to the next level.

Hello there,
I just installed OIK base and OIK Nivo Slider.
I see menu options for OIK, but there is no menu options for OIK Nivo Slider. According to the tutorial video, there should be a specific section to create and manager sliders.
In "OIK options" there is a section called "Nivo settings", but the only thing I can do there is configure the settings for the slider such as default skin. There are no options available for me to create sliders.

I want to travel in southern Japan and I will start in Osaka. I don't like making reservations. In some countries hotels are cheaper than advertised on the internet via booking websites.
How much does a double room costs in a cheap hotel in Japan? Is it easy to find them near the railway stations?
All suggestions are welcome.
Hi all,
We are trying to plan our Japan leg of our round the world trip and wanted some advice from the seasoned travellers on here.
We are flying into Kansai at the end of March and flying out from Haneda in mid April. We have both been to Japan before for about 10 days where we did a very standard Kyoto and Tokyo trip.
I'm looking for advice for a couple of reasons:
1. I'm looking for a place to propose during Sakura season;
2. I haven't been able to figure out what to do with our itinerary -…
Hi. I am arriving in Sapporo on Sept 3rd and would like to take the night bus to Wakkanai, arriving around 5.30am on Sept 4th. From there I am planning to take the first boat to Rebun. I will be travelling alone.
1) I read that the bus ticket needs to be booked in advance. However, I could not find any online booking websites in English. How do I book the ticket in advance?
2) If I can't book in advance, can I buy the bus ticket on the day that I arrive? Around this time, how likely will the bus…
My girlfriend and I are planning to climb Mt. Fuji round the 25th of Sep. this year (2016). I find a lot of information about climbing during season, and read a lot about how dangerous climbing in winter would be, but I don't find much about doing it in September.
Given that I only found one company that organizes these tours and it costs around $500 USD per person (which seems very very expensive for a 2 day hike with almost no costs), I was wondering:
- Does anyone know a more economic…
APA Hotel Shinagawa Sengakuji is near the Toei Line but we can not locate a nearby subway station. So not sure how good a location this might be to visit other Tokyo areas?
With our other possible hotel selection we would be close to a subway station and central park but the Shinjuku station is 20 minutes walk. When visiting various sites would we be using the subway or train lines like the Toei Line?
Confused as to whether these are good locations for getting around or not. Your thoughts.
I've read about the buses in Japan and I can see that Nohi Buses appear to be a good option for us. I wondered if anyone would be so kind as to check that I've got this right so far.
Kanazawa - Takayama with Nohi 3390 yen
Takayama - Kamikochi, so have to go Takayama to Hirayu Onsen 3190 yen then Hirayu Onsen to Taisyoike (we are staying at the Taisyoike Hotel) 890 yen
We are then heading to Kawaguhiko. Do we then need to go from Taisyoike back to Hirayu Onsen 890 and then go from Hirayu…
My partner and I are spending 2.5 weeks in Japan in February 2017.
We will be doing Tokyo - Kyoto - Hiroshima - Miyajima Island - Osaka - Tokyo
We have been looking at the JR rail pass which you have to purchase outside of Japan. In AUD it's $600! Each!
Spending $1,200 on train tickets is kind of daunting. Has anyone purchased this and can justify the price to me?! Please haha.
I have looked up what each train will cost and it seems to be around $400 anyway each. That's not including…
We are travelling to Japan for 14 days in last week of September, first week of October. This is our first time in Japan. Usually, we would book accommodation a few nights before and have a relaxed itinerary. However we are thinking of booking 4 nights in Kyoto at the beginnning of our trip, and 4 nights in Tokyo, and then using the other nights to stay at Hiroshima, Takayama, Kanazawa and Hakone. Our questions are this:
- Do you think we will be able to book accomodatiom in…
We are planning to visit this beautiful country in last week of October. We are in very initial phase of planning, so any suggestion would be appreciated.
We will have 10 days to spend there and we can travel by train + car (wherever we need to access remote areas, like Iya Valley and Shikoku) and if needed, by ferry too.
Flying in/out Tokyo is $150/person less than flying in/out from Osaka, but we are yet to book flight.
I think, our plan will be carried out by our interest and time of…
Hi all,
I'm hoping that if I put up our 3 wk itinerary for our honeymoon to Japan for this October, some provide suggestions around it. We've already got our Japan Rail Pass and we have all our hotels booked (except for Kyoto, where we are using an Air BnB).
Tokyo: We fly in to Narita airport on Sunday evening and we stay in Tokyo until following Friday. In Tokyo, a couple of things we plan to do:
Go to Shibuya crossing and the shops, perhaps in Akihabra, Harajuka and Takeshita-dori.
Go on…

Modiin massacred by England's New Boys
England B 8 Modiin 3
A frantic start for England B saw them edgy against an experienced Modiin side. But it was the B's who struck the first blow as a superb run and cross by veteran midfielder, Jonathan Binke was accidently directed into the net by a Modiin defender.
Paul Levy believes his Republic of Mancunia 2nd side were robbed of a precious point during a titanic tussle with Oakhill Lions.
With the teams level at 1-1, Simon Finkelstein struck an injury-time winner for the Lions, despite appearing to be in an offside position.
Leeds Sunday Alliance Premier Division
Leeds Maccabi 1st 4 Northern Star 0
Dave Woolman scored twice as Leeds Maccabi 1st cruised to victory over basement boys Northern Star.
The in-form striker grabbed an early brace before Richard Black and Curtis Bitton-Price wrapped up the points for Ian Selwyn's men.
"It should have been double figures," said Selwyn.
Zevi Saunders praised his comeback kings as Crumpsall rose from the dead to claim all three points in an enthralling contest against Leeds Maccabi 3rd.
After producing one of the greatest shocks in recent MJSL history by defeating reigning champions Manchester Maccabi 3rd, Crumpsall were given a rough ride by winless Leeds.
Gavin Sharpe was left to count the cost of several bizarre refereeing decisions as his Sporting JLGB side crashed to defeat in the Harold Feldman Trophy.
Sporting were beaten 2-1 by Republic of Mancunia 1st and finished the game with 10 men after captain Saul Davies was given his marching orders.
Stoke City manager Tony Pulis believes that two sending-off incidents marred his team's 3-0 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa Champions League.
First half strikes from Kenwyne Jones, Cameron Jerome and Ryan Shotton proved decisive for the Premiership club.
Jake Rubens stole the show as Manchester Maccabi 3rd bounced back from last week's humiliating defeat by Crumpsall.
Rubens hit a classy hat-trick as Steve Bentwood's men moved into the last eight of the Feldman Trophy following a comfortable 3-0 win over Broughton.
Norstar continued their fine run of form and completed an early double over Oakwood with a 5-2 win at the Ark.
Zack Gothelf reckons he's got Oakhill Lions ready to roar up the MJSL league table following their second win of the campaign.
Lions extended their unbeaten run to five games after seeing off Republic of Mancunia 2nd 2-1 with Jonny Davies and Simon Finkelstein on target.

A professor of international relations at American University's School of International Service, Adams also serves as a distinguished fellow at the Henry L. Stimson Center. His expertise is in U.S. national security policy and budget planning across the country's security institutions--the Defense Department, State Department, and intelligence agencies among them. In 1983, he founded the Defense Budget Project (now the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments), a nonpartisan research center that analyzes defense economics and defense policy. From 1993 to 1997, he worked as the White House's senior national security budget official at the Office of Management and Budget, where he oversaw all U.S. foreign affairs and national security budgeting.

Iraq and America: Choices and Consequences (Henry L. Stimson Center, 2006)
Too often Washington confronts its national security challenges by installing a "czar" to knock heads and inspire collaboration among government agencies. Here's why that approach doesn't work.
By asking what if, U.S. policy makers and advisers might find the solutions to restoring the country's credibility abroad.
As the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan batter our national consciousness, we should recall that heady time a few years ago when some observers thought the United States would serve as the benign hegemon of a globalized world and the enforcer of global stability.
The United States is at war; well, its military is anyway. The United States chose this war, chose badly, and conducted it even more poorly. Washington amply demonstrated that it's not capable of exporting democracy and reconstructing a country--especially when that country is in the midst of a civil war unleashed by U.S. incompetence. Perhaps we're learning that the world is a vastly more complicated place than our naive assumptions led us to believe.
Letting the Pentagon execute a growing portion of the U.S. national security policy isn't in the best interest of the military or the country.
The United States seems to be experiencing a never-ending, rapidly growing demand for money from the armed services and Defense Department. On an upward slope since 2001, this demand now stands at unprecedented levels. If Congress provides all of the resources requested by Defense in its new budget, the United States will spend more on defense in comparable (constant) dollars than at any time since World War II.
The proposed U.S. budget may allow the military to pursue foreign policy initiatives, but it's a job best left to the State Department.

Pardew's priority will once again be to retain the players he already has in his squad with Demba Ba's infamous release clause a cause for concern once again, while the likes of Cheick Tiote and Yohan Cabaye too have been linked with hostile bids.
However, having admitted they fell short of what they should have done during the summer, the Magpies are also looking to recruit senior players rather than potential.
Pardew, of course, does not have the final say on transfers with Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias judging every deal on its financial efficacy, but he is adamant that he is sending out his message loud and clear.
He said: "I need a couple of players and if you think I am not asking for them, then you are seriously mistaken.
"I need a couple of players, I think, in this group, and maybe even three.
"Whether we can get them across the line on a financial front remains to be seen."
Asked if Ashley and Llambias are receptive to his pleas, Pardew replied: "Of course they are.
"Mike openly would say that in the summer, we should have bought another player, he would actually argue that himself."

Unusual higher volume for this stock and yet no marked movement in either direction.
Not weird. My TA posts have been spot on. After touching 200 D MA resistance level, it has found support at 50 d MA.. Current prices enable 50 d MA to increase. If trend continues golden cross is formed with positive PPS implications. In the interim expect weeks of boring sideways price movement
Up until yesterday your TA was was dealing with a stock whose $ trading value each day would not fill a thimble. Maybe you think 25 or 50 dollars a day is meaningful or $500 is a big profit.
agreed.....just watching and buying where you can in this sleepy, one horse town...

Jazz Listings From The New York Times
From NYTimes.com:
Mark Dresser Trio (Saturday) A master of abstract texture and extended techniques, the bassist Mark Dresser leads a trio with two like-minded partners, the soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom and the drummer Tom Rainey. At 8 and 10 p.m., University of the Streets, 130 East Seventh Street, second floor, East Village, (212) 254-9300, universityofthestreets.org; $15. (Chinen)
John Hébert's Rambling Confessions (Thursday) Mr. Hébert, a bassist of expansive sideman experience, presents a group with a discursive name but a promising lineup: Jen Shyu on vocals, Andy Milne on piano and Billy Drummond on drums. Loosely configured as a nod to the jazz singer Carmen McRae, the group will serve up Mr. Hébert's take on standards. At 8:30 p.m., Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street, Greenwich Village, (212) 989-9319, corneliastreetcafe.com; $10 cover, with a $7 minimum. (Chinen)
Darius Jones Quartet / Matt Mitchell and Dan Weiss (Tuesday) This latest installment of the progressive Konceptions series showcases the alto saxophonist Darius Jones with his quartet, exploring a robust and personal take on post-1960s free jazz, at 10:30 p.m. An earlier set, at 9 p.m., will feature Mr. Mitchell, a pianist, and Mr. Weiss, a drummer, in knotty duologue, pursuing an agenda both spontaneous and intricately spun. At Korzo, 667 Fifth Avenue, at 20th Street, Park Slope, Brooklyn, (718) 285-9425, eurotripbrooklyn.com, myspace.com/konceptions; $10 suggested donation per set. (Chinen)
Medeski Martin & Wood With Cyro Baptista (Friday) Medeski Martin & Wood — the shrewd and unsinkable groove band, now celebrating its 10th year — closes out a monthlong Whitney Museum residency with an exuberant clatter, courtesy of Mr. Baptista, a winningly kinetic percussionist originally from Brazil. In an opening set, DJ Logic, who was briefly a satellite member of the band, spins in collaboration with a rotating cast of players. At 7 p.m., Whitney Museum of American Art, (212) 570-3600, whitney.org; free with museum admission, which is pay-what-you-wish on Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m.; there are no special tickets or reservations. (Chinen)
Paul Motian's New Trio (Tuesday through Thursday) Mr. Motian, the incorrigibly cryptic drummer and composer, holds court in the Village Vanguard a few times a year, usually with some version of a working band. The title of this trio, with Jerome Sabbagh on saxophones and Ben Monder on guitar, should clue you in: It's a new proposition, a blank slate. There is, however, a shred of precedent — in Mr. Sabbagh's recent gigs featuring the same personnel and, perhaps, in the glorious band Mr. Motian has led for many years, featuring a different saxophonist (Joe Lovano) and guitarist (Bill Frisell). There is, of course, only one way to find out. (Through Sept. 4.) At 9 and 11 p.m., Village Vanguard, 178 Seventh Avenue South, at 11th Street, West Village, (212) 255-4037, villagevanguard.com; $25 cover, with a one-drink minimum. (Chinen)
Pi Recordings at the Stone (Friday, Tuesday and Wednesday) The adventurous and often stylish label Pi Recordings has programmed the latter half of August at the Stone, featuring artists on its roster or one degree of separation away. Among the highlights in this final stretch are a set by the young pianist David Virelles and his project Continuum, with the drummer Andrew Cyrille and the multireedist Henry Threadgill, on Sunday at 8 p.m.; two performances by the trumpeter Amir ElSaffar, on Friday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 10 p.m.; and one solo set apiece on Wednesday by the vocalist Jen Shyu (at 8 p.m.) and the drummer Tyshawn Sorey (at 10 p.m.). The Stone, Avenue C and Second Street, East Village, thestonenyc.com; $10 per set, $5 for students 16-19. (Chinen)
Jen Shyu (Monday) Ms. Shyu, a vocalist well accustomed to experimental tensions, has a compellingly sparse new album, "Synastry" (Pi), made with the bassist Mark Dresser. Here she works with a larger canvas: "Raging Waters, Red Sands" is her interdisciplinary piece for an ensemble that includes spoken-word and dance elements, along with Ivan Barenboim on clarinet, Mat Maneri on viola, Chris Dingman on vibraphone and Ches Smith on drums. At 8 p.m., University of the Streets, 130 East Seventh Street, second floor, East Village, (212) 254-9300, universityofthestreets.org; $10. (Chinen)

Karim Sadjadpour writes in the Washington Post that by accentuating the country's internal rifts and breaking previously sacred taboos -- such as challenging the supreme leader -- Ahmadinejad has become an unlikely, unwitting ally of Iran's democracy movement.

The Amalfi Coast is a well known hot spot for celebrities and actors, but it has also starred itself as the backdrop to countless films that capture the alluring beauty, history and romance of this stunning coastline in southern Italy's region of Campania.

Here's what I've learned from many years of usability testing and some
eye-tracking studies of forms.
What users really do is look for 'next box for me to type in'. They'll also
recognise, but not quite so strongly, 'next control for me to interact with'
(radio buttons, check boxes, drop downs).
At each step, the eyes (mostly) drop vertically from the box just filled in,
turn left to read the label, back to the box, fill in (or interact with
control), drop vertically again.
(Exceptions: sometimes the eyes will read a few labels and then track back
to fill in a few boxes, e.g. if the labels are extremely predictable as in a
name/address block, or if the questions are strange or invasive. Sometimes
the eyes will read a few boxes e.g. if the boxes are pre-filled. Sometimes
users just do inexplicable things. So now back to the general pattern).
At some point, the boxes to type into run out but users don't know that
until it happens. The eyes have dropped vertically, and look: no more boxes.
Ideally, at this point, the vertical drop puts you directly onto the button
that finishes this page of the form: send, submit, next, ok, whatever is
appropriate in the context.
If the button isn't just there in the vertical column, then the eyes hunt
around a bit, looking for the correct button.
If the button vertically under the left-hand end of the form fields, or the
closest to that position, happens to be 'Reset' or 'Cancel', or in Nick's
example 'Inbox' - then oops, a lot of people will click it reflexively
because the 'button' visual quality overrides the text written on it.
If the user doesn't WANT to finish the form, then the hunting pattern
varies. That's when the general convention of 'next' being on the right and
'previous' being on the left kicks in.
I think Brett's result of 'next' working better on the left is happening not
so much because 'next' is on the left, but because that puts 'next' directly
under the left-hand edge of the form fields. Would be handy to see s few
examples, please Brett, so that I can verify this guess.
If you read Luke's discussion on this topic with this information in mind,
then it's obvious why his separated Cancel and Submit buttons didn't work.
It's because in that design, Cancel was placed most directly under the
left-hand edge of the form fields. Would have been fine if the buttons were
the other way around.

great explanation; I've got only one doubt - your thesis assumes
that users in every moment see only one thing they are just looking
at. They notice button when they look directly on button.
I have the impression that - at least more advanced - users notice
distinctive, characteristic elements even without spotting: when only
that elements appears in sight. That's why in general case visual
distinction between actions (i.e. using green color button for
"accept" and only text-link for "cancel"), linked with proper
tab-indexing looks for me as the most important thing; far more
important than placing button on the left or right.

Posted from the new ixda.org
To chime in here. Caroline lays it out exactly right in terms of when
and how people come to the end of the answering the questions they
need to on a form. Hence the the principle of putting the action that
allows them to make forward progress right in their "line of fire".
One of the reasons there may be so much debate about this topic is
that often designers/developers assume they are making a "wizard" and
that people will need to move back and forward through a series of
steps. In the vast majority of Web forms, people just want to get
through them and move on. I've seen this reinforced in many form
anyhow, the conversation prompted me to write up my two cents on this
thanks to everyone's contributions on this list! it helps makes the
Web better when we all get together and fix the design of forms!

why not use vertical space for forward / backward actions (cant recall that I've ever seen next/back buttons stacked vertically?) - in the case of primary actions vs secondary actions? If I understand the theory and analytics above - users follow a vertical line down to see what input/action the form is offering next.. so will it not be an option to have only one button in the row (the primary choice to completion) - and in the next line or row the secondary option for back? They can both be in the left-edge-aligned visual downward path?

Salman Khan Says He Will Attend Ex-Girlfriend Katrina Kaif's Wedding!
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, who were once dating each other have long fallen apart. While Katrina is rumoured to be dating Ranbir Kapoor, Salman Khan too has moved on in life. When Sallu was recently asked if he would attend Katrina's wedding, he said he 'would' if invited.
Nearly two weeks ago, Mirror had asked Salman Khan about his relationship with ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif, and he bluntly replied, "She used to be a friend, but today she is somebody else's friend. I respect that and I stay away because I don't want to give someone a reason to tell her, 'Oh you are still in touch with Salman.' The past should not intrude in the present."
Now, that's what's called a 'Gentleman'! It's well known that even after their split, Katrina and Salman have been very amicable towards each other. In fact, even today, Salman watches out for Katrina if he is around.
Yesterday, Katrina bumped into Salman Khan a while she was there to shoot for a commercial. Sallu was at the time promoting his upcoming film there. According to sources, the two met at approximately 7 PM and chatted for nearly 15 minutes after which they parted. People who saw them together said that Sallu bhai even gave Kat a warm hug in the end.

The Avengers movie: Clark Gregg, Chris Hemsworth
The Avengers' box office gross overseas has broken a number of official records. In 39 territories, the Disney / Marvel release earned an estimated $178.4 million, with much more to come once the action flick opens in Russia, Japan, and China. The Avengers' budget, by the way, is an estimated $220 million. In other words, without the international market, movies like The Avengers would never get made.
According to Disney International, The Avengers had the best opening weekend ever in territories as varied as Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, New Zealand, and The Philippines. The top international market was the United Kingdom ($24.7 million), followed by Australia ($19.7 million), Mexico ($15.9 million), South Korea ($12.9 million), France ($12.7 million), Brazil ($11.3 million), and Italy ($10.4m).
Though at the no. 1 spot this weekend, The Avengers performed more modestly in Spain ($7.3m) and Germany ($6.7m). In both markets, by the way, the biggest 2012 hit to date is not a Hollywood blockbuster – but the French comedy-drama The Intouchables, starring François Cluzet and Omar Sy.
Now, remember to take those "best opening ever" claims with a boulder of salt. When discussing international territories, not only is inflation a factor, but also currency fluctuations as well.
Even so, The Avengers' opening is definitely one of the most cash-generating in history. For comparison's sake: After 18 days and most major territories – excepting China, Mexico, and Brazil – Peter Berg / Taylor Kitsch's Battleship has collected an estimated $170 million internationally. Earlier this year, Gary Ross / Jennifer Lawrence's The Hunger Games opened with $59.5 million in 67 territories. Late last year, Kristen Stewart / Robert Pattinson / Taylor Lautner's The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 opened in 54 territories with $152.9 million.
The Avengers opens May 4 in the United States and Canada. Directed by Joss Whedon, The Avengers features Captain America: The First Avenger's Chris Evans as the red-white-and-blue Captain, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows's Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Shutter Island's Mark Ruffalo as the Incredible Hulk, Lost in Translation's Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow, and Red Dawn's Chris Hemsworth as Thor.
Also: The Town's Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, War Horse's Tom Hiddleston as Loki, The Storm Awaits' Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Django Unchained's Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Contagion's Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, and Light Years' Clark Gregg as agent Phil Coulson.
And finally: Stellan Skarsgård, Alexis Denisof, Powers Boothe, veteran Jenny Agutter (Walkabout / Logan's Run), and Deep End director / Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water screenwriter Jerzy Skolimowski, in addition to the voices of Paul Bettany and Lou Ferrigno.

A decent home should include:
- A main room of at least 9 m2 with a minimum ceiling height of 2.2 metres, i.e. a living area of at least 20m3.
- The living room and the bedrooms shall have one natural light source and an opening to the outside.
- A kitchen (or a kitchen area) equipped with a gas or electricity supply allowing connection of a cooking device, and including a sink producing hot and cold water.
- A room (providing privacy) equipped with a shower or a bath with hot water supply and sewage disposal.
- Toilet inside the house and separated from the kitchen and the dining area.
Useful information: In a one-room dwelling (such as a "chambre de bonne", or an attic room), the toilet can be located outside the dwelling as long as they are part of the same building and easily accessible, i.e. on the same floor, or sometimes one floor below. It does not need to be private.
- Sufficient electric light in all rooms and corridors, as well as wall sockets for ordinary electrical appliances necessary for daily life.
- A system that enables normal heating.
- Gas and electrical networks installation, heating and hot water production facilities in line with safety standards and in a proper state of repair.
- Sufficient pressure and flow for drinking water production.
- Sewage and treated wastewater disposal system including siphons preventing bad smells from spreading.
- Sufficient vents and ventilation facilities for air renewal.
- Building materials, piping, and coating that do not pose a health risk (free from asbestos and lead).
- A roof and outdoor woodwork allowing no water penetration.
Useful information: For rentals, decency requirements impose a running water supply but not to comply with electrical installations standards. Except if the lessee proves that their use brings danger or inconvenience (Court of Appeals of Paris, 6th division, section B; March 27, 2003).
If "decent home" requirements are not met, the lessee is entitled to demand that the lessor - at any time along with an expert report - that work be carried out to bring the property into compliance.
In the absence of amicable agreement between parties, it is the judge's decision to order that the necessary work be done.
If the landlord/lessor does not comply with his or her obligations, the judge can decide on a rent reduction.

Faculty, Staff, Students, Parents and Friends of UMFK,
Ever since the shooting tragedy occurred on the Virginia Tech campus in 2007, UMFK has redoubled efforts to develop and continuously evaluate and revise its emergency plans and procedures. In the process we obtained training, purchased new notification equipment and software, and adopted new procedures for dealing with a wide variety of potential threats to this campus community, our students, faculty and staff.
This work has been accomplished utilizing a national format entitled the National Incident Management System, or NIMS. The NIMS protocols provide structure, procedures and formats for dealing with a host of potential threats. Shortly after we began using NIMS, a natural disaster struck this campus in the form of the flooding of Fort Kent and surrounding communities in April 2008 by the Fish and St. John Rivers. NIMS not only enabled us to deal effectively with that situation, but as we learned through the process, since it is the same system utilized by town, county, state, and federal emergency response teams, communications and coordination with the various agencies and responders took place smoothly and easily in the midst of this event.
In the year following, we have continued preparedness efforts by putting into place equipment needed to alert members of this academic community to potential disasters, and to inform them in ways that will save lives and protect this campus. We have created this website to augment our Emergency Plan and to share as much information as possible about that plan and what you can do to be prepared now, before an emergency occurs.
I encourage every one of you to take basic steps to prepare yourself for the unexpected emergency at home, work, or school. Familiarize yourself with the information on this site, insure that your contact information here at the university is accurate and up to date, be aware of university emergency plans and be prepared to take the steps outlined in those plans. Think carefully and routinely about your personal safety. Stay attentive to your surroundings and report any suspicious activity. Your safety is very important to us.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Lisa Fournier.

On June 27th 2013 I had placed an order of Customized Certificate of Appreciation! (15,000) and 'Animal Liberation' Wristband (7,000) [Order #137921] . As I stay in India and the delivery is limited to U.S.A and U.K with the idea suggested by other PETA members active on the PETA site and are also non resident of the above mentioned countries like me, I had ordered these two products to be delivered at my relatives address who stays in U.S.A.
So far I have only received the wrist band on provided address of my relatives but the delivery of Customized certificate of appreciation is still pending. I will be thankful to you if you send in my certificate soon and I have already left a mail 10 days back on all these mail ids

Copywriter Laurie McGuinness has written and directed four Mac vs PC spoofs, here PC is the 'good guy', and these films are (ironically?) available in Quicktime.
At least I think that PC is supposed to be the hero. In this one Mac arrives late for work because he spent all night "designing a web page for his cat", making him my hero. ;)
Like the Get A Mac series, the McGuinness ads accentuate preconceived biases held by PC and Mac users. But this time he's added in an economic twist (boss vs worker), generational twist (boomer or Gen X vs Gen Y).

Woman accused of theft
AVON PARK - The saying that "no good deed goes unpunished," may well apply to a case that led to the arrest of an Avon Park woman, according to a warrant affidavit. Joyce Ann Curry, 40, 317 W. Cornell St., Avon Park, was arrested April 29 and charged with third-degree grand theft. The arrest came after a woman told authorities in March that a woman came to her door and asked for work because she was homeless and needed money, the report said. She said she offered to pay the woman $20 for sweeping her floors, but noticed the woman was taking change, she told authorities. She also noticed that when the woman left jewelry valued at $800 was missing.Curry remained in the Highlands County jail on $1,000 bond, as of press time.
