[See previous post: "Man of Steel Trailing Original Iron Man in Ticket Sales."] As mentioned in our previous posts, the $225 million-budgeted Man of Steel grossed an estimated $113.08 million this past weekend, including $9 million from Thursday midnight screenings. Directed by Zack Snyder, the 2013 Superman reboot stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent a.k.a. Superman. (Image: Henry Cavill in Man of Steel.)
Released in late June 2006, Bryan Singer's $270 million-budgeted Superman Returns, starring Brandon Routh as Superman, debuted with $52.53 million, or about $64 million today. Even taking into account that Superman Returns lacked the box-office-boosting advantage of 3D surcharges, Man of Steel is obviously a much bigger hit than its immediate predecessor.
Superman Returns eventually reached $200.08 million in North America, plus a slightly more modest $191 million internationally. Man of Steel will not only easily surpass Superman Returns at the domestic box office, but it'll also earn at the very least twice as much as Superman Returns internationally. As explained in more detail in the previous post, the Zack Snyder / Henry Cavill Superman reboot has already taken in $71.6 million from only 24 international territories.
Directed by Richard Donner and starring Christopher Reeve in the title role, Superman totaled $134.21 million at the U.S. and Canada box office in 1978/79, or about $455 million today. Weekend results are impossible to compare, as the original big-screen Superman opened at 508 locations (vs. more than 4,000 for Man of Steel), bringing in $7.46 million, or about $25 million today.
Internationally, as per Box Office Mojo Superman soared to an astonishing (for the time) $166 million (about $530 million today). How come? Well, one good reason is that the 1978 Warner Bros. release was the first megabudget superhero movie ever made. Superman cost a reported $55 million (about $196 million in 2013), of which a widely publicized $3 million went to two-time Oscar winner Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront, The Godfather) as a paycheck for three days of work as Superman's father, Jor-El.
Directed by Richard Lester, the $54 million-budgeted Superman II (1981) cumed at $108.18 million in North America. Lester's Superman III (1983), featuring Richard Pryor as a clownish villain, took in only $59.95 million domestically. Directed by Sidney J. Furie, the cheapo ($17 million budget) Cannon Films-produced, Warner Bros.-distributed Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) was a total bomb: $15.68 million in the U.S. and Canada.
Henry Cavill toplines Man of Steel cast
Besides Henry Cavill, the Man of Steel cast features two Oscar winners: Russell Crowe (Gladiator) as Jor-El, and Kevin Costner (Dances with Wolves) as Jonathan Kent. In addition to four Oscar nominees: Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road) as the evil General Zod, Amy Adams (Junebug, Doubt, The Fighter, The Master) as reporter Lois Lane, Diane Lane (Unfaithful) as Martha Kent, and Laurence Fishburne (What's Love Got to Do with It) as newsman Perry White.
Also in the Man of Steel cast: Ayelet Zurer (as Lara Lor-Van), Dylan Sprayberry (as the adolescent Clark Kent), Antje Traue (as Faora-Ul), Christopher Meloni (as Colonel Nathan Hardy), Cooper Timberline (as the 9-year-old Clark Kent), Harry Lennix, Michael Kelly, Mackenzie Gray, Richard Schiff, and Richard Cretone.
David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises) was credited for the Man of Steel screenplay, from a story by Goyer and Batman trilogy filmmaker Christopher Nolan. Nolan is also credited as one of Man of Steel's producers.
Henry Cavill: Edward Cullen, James Bond – but not Batman – among 'lost' roles
Superman Henry Cavill was Twilight book series author Stephenie Meyer's first choice for the role of the lovestruck vampire Edward Cullen. By 2007, however, Cavill was deemed too old. Robert Pattinson ultimately played Edward opposite Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan, thus becoming an international sensation.
Additionally, a few years ago Henry Cavill was a James Bond contender. Theoretically, he could once again become a Bond candidate after (the highly successful) Daniel Craig's "retirement." Tales about Cavill having been a contender to play Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman don't seem to be based on fact. Christian Bale eventually landed the role.
Although best known for his TV role as Charles Brandon in The Tudors, opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Sarah Bolger, Henry Cavill has been featured in ten other movies besides Man of Steel. Among those are Mabrouk El Mechri's In the Cold Light of Day, with Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver; Tarsem Singh's Immortals, with Freida Pinto and Kellan Lutz; Woody Allen's Whatever Works, with Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood; Matthew Vaughn's Stardust, with Claire Danes and Michelle Pfeiffer; Kevin Reynolds' Tristan + Isolde, with James Franco and Sophia Myles; and Randal Kleiser's Red Riding Hood, with Morgan Thompson and Lainie Kazan.
Next in line for Henry Cavill are possibly Guy Ritchie's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. – replacing Tom Cruise, and to co-star Armie Hammer, and The Great Wall, featuring Benjamin Walker and Ziyi Zhang.
Superman Returns, Superman cast
Besides Brandon Routh as the returning superhero, Superman Returns features Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects) as Lex Luthor, Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane, James Marsden as Richard White, Academy Award winner Eva Marie Saint (On the Waterfront) as Martha Kent, and Sam Huntington as Jimmy Olsen. Plus Oscar nominee Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon), Kal Penn, Parker Posey, and Jack Larson – the TV Superman's Jimmy Olsen.
In addition to Christopher Reeve in the title role and Marlon Brando as his Kryptonian father, the 1978 Superman movie features two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman (The French Connection, Unforgiven) as Lex Luthor; Margot Kidder as Lois Lane; and the following Academy Award nominees: Jackie Cooper (Skippy) as Perry White, Susannah York (They Shoot Horses, Don't They?) as Lara, Trevor Howard (Sons and Lovers) as Krypton's 1st Elder, Valerie Perrine (Lenny), and Ned Beatty (Network).
Also: veterans Terence Stamp as General Zod (Superman II's top villain), Maria Schell as Vond-Ah, Glenn Ford as Pa Kent, Phyllis Thaxter as Ma Kent, Harry Andrews, and John Stuart – whose career dated back to the early silent era, including a major role in Alfred Hitchcock's first directorial effort, The Pleasure Garden.

MORRISTOWN — Once again, there's a big screen in Morristown.
AMC Theaters opened up shop Friday at the former Clearview in Morristown's Headquarters Plaza. That brings movies back to a spot where they'd been seen by Morristown audiences for generations — a spot where Mayor Timothy Dougherty and his wife had their first date.
And with the return of the theater comes the return of Eric "Fluffy" Glover, the goofy, eccentric and much-loved ticket-taker who'd been a staple of the theater for 26 years.
Glover recently told NJ.com he'd been hired as a part-time employee at the theater, and is hoping to transition to full-time employment. He'd been out of work since Clearview closed this summer.
"You know, I just like to entertain the people, and they seem to have a good time, so I'm hoping to go back," he said. "And I need to work. It's been hard."
It's a bit confusing for a newcomer to the theater — but it's earned Glover a loyal fan base. A Facebook page dedicated to Glover has gathered more than 12,000 fans. Glover is such a beloved part of the Morristown cultural scene, his fans pulled together to throw him a huge celebration and buy him a car for his 50th birthday in 2011.
Glover first joined the theater in 1987 — when it was also an AMC, before Clearview's ownership. He had already been working at Headquarters Plaza at a security guard for a few years.
"Eric is the greatest! He always makes us smile and lifts spirits as he greets everyone going to the show with the same excitement and exuberance," Michael Kotowski wrote on the Facebook page in September. "He is part of the event!"
And earlier this month, Nathan Wollack wrote: "Fluffy will be back, but we need to get AMC to make it full time!"
The Clearview had been a casualty of the chain's purchase by Bow Tie Cinemas earlier this year. The Morristown location was just one of a few Bow Tie didn't pick up. Representatives of the company had said they weren't able to work out a deal with the theater's landlord.MorristownGreen.com reported the AMC had a "decidedly soft" opening Friday, with Clearview signage still around, an empty concession stand and apparently months-old soda cups and popcorn still on the floor.
"It took a few minutes on Friday to summon a projectionist to properly frame the opening sequence of Gravity," the site wrote. "(No, that bifurcated screen was not a special effect. And the vertical scratch running through a chunk of the movie? It wasn't carved by space debris.)"
But AMC says it is planning on installing digital projectors, revamping the concession stand and, overall, bringing the decades-old theater into 2013.

Chevrolet gave us an early look at the 2013 Malibu with a teaser photo and video released last month, and has now followed up on that with a glimpse at the car's interior. The image, which was posted to Chevrolet's Facebook page, reveals that the new Malibu's interior will be nothing like that of the current car.
In contrast to the current Malibu's aging, straight-edged layout, the new dashboard has a curvier design, apparently equipped with blue accent lighting and modern switchgear. Overall, it looks similar to designs used in newer Chevrolet products like the Camaro, Equinox, and Volt. As with those cars, the 2013 Malibu appears to employ a dual-binnacle instrument cluster, and the teaser image also shows off a large touchscreen entertainment system.
Unlike its predecessor, the new Malibu sedan is a global model slated to be sold in 100 different countries with minimal changes. Chevrolet promises a range of four-cylinder engines and six-speed transmissions. Based on what we've seen so far, it will wear a bold new design with more pronounced character lines, Camaro-inspired taillights, and Chevrolet's signature two-bar grille. The 2013 Malibu will bow at the Shanghai Motor Show on April 18, and subsequently at the New York auto show. It should go on sale in America in mid-2012 as a 2013 model.

Failure is a fact of life for all business people, and of course, that includes bloggers. But we have to deal with failure more than most, because our business is so multi-faceted.

How you choose to deal with failure is what will mark you out from the herd.
Or will you analyse what happened objectively, find out where it went wrong, and learn from the mistake?

Talk about teamwork.
In the weeks surrounding Angelina Jolie's preventive double mastectomy and subsequent reconstructive surgery, her fiancé, Brad Pitt, served as her No. 1 support.
At the bustling home they share with their six kids in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, "Brad did everything he could to keep things secret and protect Angie," a family insider tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story.
Using early morning appointments and rental cars to avoid discovery, "They really wanted Angie to be able to recover and rest before they shared the story," says the insider.
The actress's medical ordeal only deepened the bond between Jolie, 37, and Pitt, 49, a couple for seven years. Those close to them say the pair's teamwork is always on display, in public and private.
"They are very loving and inspiring to each other, exchanging ideas," says Jeremy Kleiner, a longtime exec at Pitt's Plan B production company and producer on his upcoming movie World War Z.
On-set, "He would light up when his family showed up. It's just a very cool thing to see."
For much more on this story, including Angelina's next surgery and how Brad's family has supported her, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE

Explore the world of beer through our stories and blogs
Join the conversation
Water, food and energy are inextricably linked; a connectedness often referred to as the water-food-energy nexus. We need water to grow food and to generate energy; we need energy to grow food and to treat and move water; and we need land (and in the case of biofuels, crops) for energy production. We cannot manage these three resources in isolation as the availability of each affects the availability of the others.
To build a resilient world where our businesses, local communities and ecosystems share uninterrupted access to safe, clean water, we need to apply nexus thinking. How can a more integrated approach be achieved?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: bakedjake
My Server is Apache/PHP
I was setting image folder to 0773 but then i found that i need to use php to read directory image and delete some every some period, so it should be 0777 to be able to do that!
So my question, is it as safe to just put an empty index.php file in the image folder like setting it to 0773?
Thanks in advance
- setting the user permission to 3 makes it unusable as a directory by the non-owner/group since it is not readable.
it should be either a 5 for a readable directory or a 7 for a read/write directory.
An empty index.html will serve web browsers an empty page. (Presuming your server is set to use index.html as a default page.) This will prevent browsers from seeing an index of your files, which they might if you had no default page.
However, the other method mentioned above is better for this purpose.
Unix/Linux file permission are used to control access to files by other users logged-in to a shell. If you are on a shared server, you need to use file permissions to prevent other customers of the hosting service from seeing or altering your files.
If you are on a dedicated server or a VPS, which you control exclusively, file permissions are less important - you probably have no other shell users.
However, you probably should still concern yourself with file permissions, as you may from time to time have others (employees, consultants) working on your machine, and may wish to make access available on a "need to know" basis. As well, careful use of file permissions can help control any successful break-in or exploit to your site that gives an attacker control of a non-root account.

The authors have compiled a comprehensive reading list of books on psychiatry to fill the need for a guide for teachers in psychiatry, and ancillary fields, in the planning and development of systems of education. The authors note that the list is obviously too long for indiscriminate prescription by teachers in psychiatry and have increased its usefulness by starring of items in each category which appear of outstanding significance. The preparation of the book itself and the selection of the starred items was carried out by consultation with many colleagues in the field of psychiatry and in allied fields of psychology, sociology, anthropology, nursing and social work. Books included are selected only from books published prior to 1949.
The list is divided into two parts. Part 1, a guide to psychiatric books, includes titles under basic disciplines of the field, titles in the various specialized fields of psychiatry, psychiatric therapies

Despite Advances, Women Still Have a Long Way to Go
Here are some facts that will make your eyes pop: In the U.S. today, 47% of the workforce is comprised of women, yet 42 million women live at or near the brink of poverty. Women are the breadwinners or co-breadwinners of nearly two thirds of American families; they control $20 trillion in global spending and outnumber men at every level of the higher education ladder.
Like for most of you, women are at the center of my life. They are the pillars that sustain my family and my community. They are role models, supporters, providers and caregivers. And they are the ones driving the civic participation of their families.
Many of the women I know have gone on to college and are now in solid middle class careers. But I also know many who, for a myriad of reasons, did not. Yet, regardless of whether they are college educated or working in low-skill jobs, they are all struggling to leave their kids on better economic footing. And many of them find it difficult to balance work and family responsibilities in light of our outdated policies—such as unpaid sick days—which sometimes put their, or even their partners', jobs at risk.

December saw shares of Rigel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RIGL ) drop more than 20%. The tumble happened after Rigel's partner AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN ) released phase 2b data concerning their experimental rheumatoid arthritis drug fostamatinib.

Oklahoma came one step closer Thursday to offering elective Bible courses in public schools courtesy of the state Senate.
Senate lawmakers overwhelmingly approved Senate Bill 1338, authored by Sen. Tom Ivester, D-Elk City, in a 38-4 vote.
The measure states that the purpose of such courses is to provide students with an understanding of how scripture has influenced modern-day society, The Christian Post reports.
"It's hard to understand the context of things if you don't understand the references to the Bible," Ivester said. "They may not believe in those teachings, but they've had a significant impact on the world."
Sen. Steve Russell, R-Oklahoma City, applauded his colleague for introducing the legislation.
"Yes, it is a dangerous path, but I applaud you Sen. Ivestor for opening up some of these things where they're allowed to be viewed by those who choose to," Russell said. "There's no danger here. We're not forcing someone to take this class."
If the bill passes, the elective courses would begin next school year. The classes would be taught to students in grades nine through 12.
The legislation will now go before the state House of Representatives.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of IP licensor Rambus (NASDAQ: RMBS ) are up by about 7% today after topping out at nearly 11% in the morning. Investors are ignoring weakened revenue and are instead keying in on the company's bottom-line beat.
So what: Rambus posted revenue of $57.4 million and reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.07 for the quarter. Analysts were looking for $60.3 million on the top line, but expected a loss of $0.12 per share. The sizable EPS beat was more than enough to make up for gradually declining revenue, particularly as it reversed a gruesome trend of sagging EPS over the past several quarters. CFO Satish Ron sounded a hopeful note that the company would be positioned for improved profitability for 2013, but we expect such things in conference calls, so guidance is more important.
Now what: Speaking of guidance, Rambus projects first-quarter revenue in the range of $58 million to $63 million, with pro forma net income clocking in in a rather wide range of $4 million to $10 million. The top line is a bit higher than this quarter's number, but with non-GAAP net income from the current quarter clocking in at $8.3 million, the bottom-line projections don't offer much space for growth. Rambus has been stuck in a rut for a while, and despite today's beat on an adjusted basis, there doesn't seem to be a lot of forward momentum yet in store.

Wal-Mart Stories that Should Make the Left Happy
Wal-Mart wants suppliers to cut greenhouse gas emissions
Wal-Mart Stores (WMT), the world's largest retailer, says it wants its suppliers to eliminate 20 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions by the end of 2015.
The discounter's push for what it says is the equivalent of taking 3.8 million cars off the road for a year goes beyond its effort to reduce its own emissions by designing more energy-efficient stores and taking other steps.
Wal-Mart is collaborating with the Environmental Defense Fund and other environmental experts to measure reduction. It said it won't force suppliers to make changes but will work with them to reduce both emissions and costs.

Animal Behavior College Reviews & Success Stories
Meet Them Yourself!
My experience with Animal Behavior College has truly changed my life. The shelter practicum not only opened many doors to my career as an obedience trainer, but also opened my heart to the special needs of shelter animals. As a volunteer trainer for the Sussex County Friends of Animals in NJ, my main goal is to help teach obedience in our dogs and improve their chances of finding a permanent and loving home. Every interaction with one of these dogs is a lesson of the heart for me as a trainer. The rest, like a career, will certainly follow. Special thanks to the faculty of Animal Behavior College. It was a pleasure working and learning with you. And thank you Tate (he is so very camera shy). You are my saving Grace.
I have always loved and respected animals and seemed to connect to dogs especially. After being in the computer industry for over 20 years, I began looking towards the future and asked myself what I wanted to do next. I always agreed with the old saying Do what you love and know best, so it was a natural decision to want to learn to become a dog trainer. Little did I know that after taking ABCs program, not only did I become a dog trainer, but, more importantly, a better dog owner.
I was born in Budapest, Hungary and I came to the United States approximately 2 years ago. I have always had an interest in animals, especially dogs. My career goal is to become a Veterinary Technician. With this goal in mind, I believe that understanding the behavior of dogs would complement and assist me on my path.
James Koffel
Before I enrolled at Animal Behavior College, I was already working as a group obedience trainer. I was taught the old school style of compulsion training and trained about one hundred plus dogs. Through ABC, I learned the techniques of positive reinforcement and that changed everything.
I am a husband, father of two, proud owner of three dogs, etc. As a family man, my lifestyle is never dull. Yet I yearned for more...
Melanie Walker has been around dogs all her life as well as a multitude of other pets. Melanie knew from an early age that she wanted a career involving animals. In 1989 she graduated from Albertsons College of Idaho with a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology with the hope of pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. She landed a job at a small animal veterinary hospital and began her career as a veterinary technician eventually leading to emergency medicine. After 10+ years, she left veterinary medicine to concentrate on her family and raising her 3 children.
Wayne Shaffer
Dogs transform lives. They are our loyal friends, our protectors, our companions and, sometimes, just make us laugh quietly to ourselves. I became an ABC Certified Dog Trainer to help others enjoy the rewards of those transformations and to find new ways to improve the positive relationship that I have with my dogs - Bailey and Coco.
Maureen Leach
My name is Maureen Leach, and I am making a career change after 30 years as a nurse. Working with patients and families over the years has made me sensitive to people's needs and feelings. This is also a necessary part of training people to work with their dogs. The positive training methods that ABC endorses, helps dogs and people enjoy training and learning!
Jane Hufstader
Growing up we had all sorts of breeds. My Mother showed Yorkshire Terriers, and I would go along and help her at the shows. I learned a great deal and as an adult continued my love of dogs. I own two Airedale Terriers and compete in both Obedience and Agility. I enjoy being around people and dogs and wanted to further my knowledge and start a career as a dog trainer. I researched schools online and was very impressed with ABC. Not only did I learn from the study guides that were required reading, but I also gained a wealth of knowledge from the externship. The hands-on learning both at the shelter working with dogs and the training with an actual trainer gave me the confidence to become the Canine Education Instructor at our local PETCO Store. Thank You ABC!
Andrea Collashaw
I have been an animal lover my whole life and love all kinds of animals. As a child I wanted to be a vet, but I soon realized that vets had a tough job when it involved sick animals who would not recover.... During school I took a turn career-wise and ended up doing Accounting and Management in Corporate America for 12 years. I had a "great" job - great pay/benefits/respect, but I traveled too much and missed my family and animals at home.

Alain Vigneault reported today that there's a 50/50 chance Ryan McDonagh, who skated during this morning's optional practice for the first time since injuring his shoulder in Vancouver last Tuesday, will participate in a game before the postseason begins next week.
Vigneault did leave open the possibility of McDonagh practicing in full with the team tomorrow.
…obviously, if McDonagh isn't ready to go the smart move to to keep him out, but I'd love to see him get at least one game under his belt before the postseason begins.
…although, McDonagh is Superman, so it probably doesn't matter either way.
Also skating for the first time since being injured was Chris Kreider, who took shots with his right hand only this morning as he was wearing a black brace on his injured left hand.
Vigneault did not offer an update on Kreider's status.
…i'd have to assume Kreider wouldn't be back unless the Rangers made it to the Conference Finals as hand surgery usually takes 6-8 weeks to heal.
Meanwhile, AV confirmed that Jesper Fast will be inserted into the lineup on the third line with Brad Richards and Carl Hagelin, while Dan Carcillo will be a healthy scratch for tonight's game against the Hurricanes.
The other lines will remain the same as yesterday's practice meaning Martin St. Louis will skate with Derek Stepan and Rick Nash.
…maybe now that the Rangers have clinched a playoff berth, St. Louis will be able to relax and play his game. Not sure the Stepan/Nash line is the best spot for him, but never a bad idea to put your two super star players together.
…also hoping to see a much more confident Fast this time around. Seemed very hesitant and timid during his first go round with the Rangers earlier this season. If he can use his speed to drive to the net, he could have the same impact Kreider had in the playoffs two years ago.
Above pic of McDonagh and Kreider skating at practice this morning courtesy of Rangers Twitter account.

President's Message
Make Your Voice Heard to the Next Administration and Congress
By Russell B. Laine, Chief of Police, Algonquin, Illinois
hroughout its history, the mission of the IACP has required the association to be actively involved in deliberations over public safety and homeland security policies. As police leaders, it is part of our responsibility to ensure that policy makers at all levels of government hear the insight of law enforcement professionals when they are considering matters that will affect our ability to protect the public we serve.
At no time is it more important for the voice of law enforcement to be heard than at the beginning of a new period of leadership. In the United States, it is at this early stage, when the new administration and Congress are formulating their approaches to criminal justice and homeland security issues, that we can have the greatest impact. That is why the IACP has been working so diligently to develop a relationship with President-elect Barack Obama and his staff. Already the IACP has held several meetings with key members of the incoming administration to discuss the critical public safety and homeland security challenges that the United States is confronting. At the same time, the IACP has continued working closely with key members of Congress to make sure that the needs and concerns of the law enforcement community are addressed and met.
The IACP has a unique position in Washington, D.C., the United States, and the world: representing the professional voice of law enforcement. The IACP neither endorses political candidates nor contributes to political campaigns. Instead, it stays above the political fray and focuses its energies on advancing legislative and executive initiatives that provide the law enforcement community with the tools necessary to fulfill its mission. This abstention from politics allows the IACP to do what is right without regard to how popular its position may be. Over the past several years, in part because of this philosophy, the IACP's influence has continued to grow. We bring a professional, not a political, perspective to public policy debates.
But our success in these efforts is also dependent upon your involvement. I firmly believe that there is no more effective public safety advocate than police chiefs talking to their representatives, since we, as chiefs, possess the expertise on law enforcement issues that our representatives lack. We have the ability to serve as a resource for our elected leaders, to let them know which proposals would help us and which would hinder our ability to fulfill our mission. We do an excellent job with our state representatives, but we must continue to build on our efforts with those at the federal level. We must work to meet with them in Washington and at home.
That is why I urge you to act today to contact your senators and representatives. Visit with them when they are back in your district. Call them, write them, send them an e-mail message, send them a fax, but make every effort to make certain that they are aware of your concerns and those of the law enforcement community.
To assist you in this effort, this month the IACP will be releasing its legislative agenda for the 111th Congress. This comprehensive document, which is developed in consultation with the IACP's committees and approved by the Executive Committee, provides policy makers with a clear and concise statement of the IACP's positions on issues of national importance to law enforcement. Furthermore, it serves as a framework for the association's legislative efforts for the next two years. Use this document as a starting point with your representatives, but also take the opportunity to discuss your local needs and concerns. The important task is to establish a relationship with your representative so that you can communicate with each other frequently on the issues facing your community and your profession.
It is my firm belief that at this critical time for our profession, when federal, state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies are striving to protect the public from terrorists, sophisticated international gangs, online predators, and other violent criminals, it is extremely important that we, the law enforcement community, make our voices heard.
Our outreach efforts have already made an impact at the highest levels of government. In the October issue of the Police Chief, President-elect Obama, in response to questions presented by the IACP, outlined his positions on key issues affecting the law enforcement community. In his responses, Obama stated that he wants to restore funding to critical assistance programs, improve information- and intelligence-sharing capabilities, and guarantee that "local law enforcement is a full partner in the development of our homeland security strategy." Additionally, the president-elect called for the need to reduce violent crime and drug trafficking throughout the country.
These are positive signs. However, we must not be content with what we have accomplished; we must build on this momentum and the hard work that the IACP and you have done in the past. If our efforts to reduce crime and promote homeland security are to have any chance of succeeding, it is absolutely vital for Congress and the administration to take the necessary steps that will allow the United States' first line of defense—law enforcement—to mount effective programs to protect our communities from both crime and terrorism. I urge you to act today. ■

What Type of Company Do Venture Capitalists Fund?
Occasionally at ArabCrunch English we publish guest posts by experts and Industry leaders, who would share their experience with our reader, today's guest post is by Laila Kassis who has many years of experience with venture capitalists in the states. (if you want to be a guest writer use the contact page.)
Laila is currently pursuing an MBA at the Harvard Business School and an MPA in International Development at the Harvard Kennedy School. This summer, Laila is interning with the Jordan office of Endeavor, a global non-profit supporting entrepreneurs in developing countries. Laila has five years of venture investing experience at Key Venture Partners and Spectrum Equity Investors, and two years of investment banking experience at Bear Stearns. She specializes in technology, media and communications investments.
Venture capital (also known as VC or Venture) to those who do not know is a type of equity capital (cash provided in exchange for an ownership stake) typically provided to early-stage, high-potential, growth companies in the interest of generating a return through an eventual realization event such as a sale or IPO of the company. Here is Laila's post:
I spent 5 years in the venture capital industry in Boston, and entrepreneurs commonly asked me this question. Generally, entrepreneurs find securing venture funding to be a daunting task, with the keys to its success ever-elusive. Ironically, as a venture professional, I had the opposite problem: How do I find the best companies and convince them that they should bring us on as partners, as opposed to selecting another firm or taking no funding at all? I spent five years doing this, and it is a grueling task.
However, the file of companies I turned down grew to about two-hundred by the time I left the venture business to pursue my MBA. Thus, I do have deep experience regarding what causes one company to go to the reject pile and another company to become heavily sought after by venture funds. My experience is solely with U.S. East Coast venture capital so I will write from this perspective. However, given that I'm spending my summer meeting with venture funds in the Arab World, I will touch upon how venture in this part of the world may differ slightly.
Since seven is a lucky number, here are the top seven things venture capitalists look for in a company they might seek to fund. Good luck to all of the readers out there who are entrepreneurs seeking capital themselves!
Attractive Risk-Reward Profile
Simply stated, investors analyze various types of risk involved in an investment and compare this to the likely potential return of the investment. The higher the potential return compared to the risk, the better the investment opportunity.
- Types of Risk:
A high degree of market risk means there is a question about whether there are even buyers for the company's offering. This is bad for all but the most aggressive early stage investors. Technology and product development risk means there is a question as to whether the technology works properly and how much it will cost to continue to develop the technology, both early stage risks that early stage VC funds are more comfortable with.
Sales execution risk and management risk are growth stage phenomena. Does the sales model work? Can we sell in a cost effective way? Can we find the right C-level executive for a key position? It's not an exact science but venture capitalists are experts at assessing the degree of each of the risks mentioned and determining if the investment fits their strategy.
Most of the things VCs "look for" are in essence things that mitigate the risks mentioned above. Entrepreneurs should understand the way a VC thinks and be prepared to address concerns about these different types of risks.
- Return:
For venture funds, return comes from an exit. An exit most commonly comes from sale of the company to a larger strategic acquirer (for example, Google buys Picasa), and less commonly from an initial public offering (IPO) or sale of the VC's stake to another investor. Investors must believe there is a universe of potential acquirers for the company or else they will not invest.
Venture funds want innovative ideas, but innovation comes in many different forms. If you have developed the next big thing, the newest gadget with proprietary technology to hit the market, this can give you an edge. However, it's not enough on its own, and it may not even be necessary. Innovation means doing something in a new way. That can mean rich proprietary intellectual property, or it can mean doing something old in a different, better way.
For example, my last fund invested in a provider of sales compensation management solutions. While the industry had been around for ten years, this company was the first in the industry with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) architecture. Its web-enabled solution allowed for more efficient low-cost service delivery, robust features and functionality, and a stable recurring revenue business model. That's innovative.
We also invested in a traditional bricks and mortar outdoor advertising business; something that has been around for fifty years. However, this start-up had a unique acquisition strategy that allowed it to capture market share in an industry with high barriers to entry. Thus, innovation came in the form of business model and deal structuring, not necessarily in the end product to the customer.
Attractive Market
Venture capitalists want large addressable markets with demonstrated customer demand and some barriers to entry:
- Target Market Size:
Entrepreneurs should know how to define their target addressable market and calculate its size. Target addressable market refers to the universe of potential buyers of a company's current product line, and the size of this market is the total annual revenue currently being generated by all companies providing similar products and services.
The SaaS company mentioned above is part of the huge human resources technology market, but its target addressable market, compensation management solutions, is much smaller.
The market should be large enough that the company has room to grow substantially while making room for a few key competitors. A $10m company in a $100m market does not have much room to grow. The broader market (the huge human resource technology market in the example above) is only relevant if the company plans to develop new product lines to address this market. However, this means a different kind of risk – early stage technology risk.
- Customer Demand:
Entrepreneurs should be able to clearly articulate the customer pain point that their product or service addresses. Ideally they should also be able to measure the value to the customer.
For example, "Large corporations spend 10% of their operating expense on payroll services and HR consultants that are slow and cumbersome" (pain point). "By spending $50,000 per year on our human resource software, customer Y saved $350,000 in annual consulting expenses. That's a 7x return on their investment in our product!" (measurable value).
- Barriers to Market Entry:
This doesn't mean that competitors are non-existent or that market entry by a new company is nearly impossible. It simply means that there is some difficulty and time-element required for a new entrant.
For example, a large number of man-hours required to develop a competing product creates a barrier as do strong existing relationships with partners and customers. An entrepreneur must be able to clearly articulate barriers to market entry and how his/her company has an edge.
Attractive Business Model – or at least one that makes sense
Business model refers to how a company earns revenue. Is it via one-time product sales, a monthly subscription, transaction revenue, a combination? Entrepreneurs must very clearly and concisely delineate the sales model and the target customer.
A fundamental equation is the relationship between how much a company spends to acquire and provide ongoing services to an average customer and how much revenue a company generates from the average customer. VCs will ask many questions to better understand this equation: What is average revenue per customer? Who long is your sales cycle? How do you manage your pipeline? How much do you spend on sales, marketing and customer service?
Realistic Expectations
VCs want to meet with entrepreneurs who have realistic expectations about their company's growth potential and valuation – plain and simple. Financial projections should not be so high that they are not believable.
A Company simply will not grow from $0.5m of revenue to $10m in one year; even $5m is a stretch. On the flip side, projections should not be too conservative – growth from $0.5m to $0.75m is too low and completely unattractive. Likewise, a company with $0.5m of revenue will not be valued at $30-50m, no matter how innovative or how much growth potential; $5m is more like it.
Entrepreneurs should be careful of reputation risk here. The venture community is small everywhere in the world and word travels quickly. The last thing an entrepreneur should do is go to market with unrealistic projections and valuation expectations, fail at raising capital, then come to market a second time with more tempered expectations.
Strong Management Team
VCs prefer seasoned entrepreneurs with prior operating experience. Often, they prefer to fund people they know, or people their friends know. After all, there is less risk investing in that which one knows. They also look for sophisticated entrepreneurs.
It's easier for a venture capitalist to work with someone who understands investment terms, knows his strengths and weaknesses, understands when he is not the right person for a particular job, and knows how to hire the right people to accomplish particular goals. While VCs like to see a strong management team, sometimes it's ok if the team contains holes, particularly in early stage companies. VCs can often leverage their network to help the company hire the right people.
Fit with the Fund's Investment Strategy
Finally, investors look for opportunities that fit their fund's investment strategy. VCs aren't managing single companies; they are managing a portfolio of investments and are bound by a mandate from their limited partners to follow a particular strategy. They must balance risk in a way that fits this strategy.
Thus, it's possible for one VC to reject an investment opportunity that another VC fund finds attractive; and both VC funds have made a smart investing decision. Before meeting with a fund, an entrepreneur should understand its investing strategy and how her company fits into this strategy.
The Arab world:
The items above largely hold true for the Arab World. The key difference is that venture capital is a nascent concept in this region. This changes things in several ways:
1. Investors are generally more conservative, meaning they are less willing to take risk.
2. Many venture "funds" do not actually have committed capital. Once they find an investment opportunity they reach out to their investor network to see if anyone is willing to invest. This can create a lengthier process for the entrepreneur without assurance that the capital for investment exists. It can also mean the venture firm's strategy is less focused.
3. Many investment funds are comprised of a pool of family money. This often means the investment strategy is less focused and that funds can move more slowly in making an investment decision. It also means that since there is a single investor (one family), the investment strategy can change or investments can be halted at any time.
4. There are some Shari'a compliant investment funds. The process with these funds can be more cumbersome and time-consuming. In addition to ensuring an attractive investment opportunity, they must also ensure the company itself is Shari'a compliant as is the structuring of the investment.

A sure sign of spring is when the City of Wilsonville Public Works department conducts their annual fire hydrant flushing program.
Beginning the week of April 23 city staff will use fire hydrants around the city to allow water to flow through the pipes.
According to public works officials this accomplishes the following:
- Helps keep the mainline pipes clean,
- Verifies the proper operation of fire hydrants and valves,
- Helps identify weaknesses in the water system,
- Checks for closed valves and weak flows in the mainlines.
"If anyone sees a crew flushing a hydrant on their street, avoid running tap water and using the washing machine or the dishwasher until the flushing is done," said Public Works Supervisor Steve Munsterman. "If tap water is used during flushing, it could contain fine sediment particles from the lining of the water main."
Munsterman said that anyone who encounters discolored water should shut the water off and wait several minutes. After waiting, check the clarity by running cold water for a few minutes, allowing new water to work its way thru the pipes.
"If the water is clean, it's okay to use," said Munsterman. "If not, wait a few more minutes and check again. In some cases, there may be slight discoloration for a short period."
Munsterman added that discoloration only affects the appearance; it does not affect the taste or quality.
Avoid washing laundry during scheduled flushing times. Wait until the water runs clear at the tap then wash a load of dark clothes first.
If pressure or volume seems low, check your faucet screens for trapped particles.
When a hydrant is opened, there are temporary incidences of discolored water while fine sediment particles are flushed out. There is no health hazard associated with the water.
Crews are going to place signs at entrances to neighborhoods prior to flushing. Flushing is to occur on Wednesdays with dead end pipes in the same neighborhoods being flushed on Thursdays and Fridays.-- City of Wilsonville

OLADE Meeting Examines Climate Vulnerability of Central American Hydropower Production
17 October 2012: The Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) conducted a workshop for Central America looking at the vulnerability of the region's hydropower plants to the impacts of climate change.
The "Regional Technical Workshop on Vulnerability of Hydropower Production Systems in Central America to Climate Change and Adaptation Options" workshop was held from 11-12 October 2012 in San Salvador, El Salvador.
The focus of the workshop was an OLADE study on the topic which looked at global and regional climate change models, hydro-meteorological data for the region's 573 basins, and data on hydropower production in the seven countries. The study projected a regional loss of hydroelectric production, measured in gigawatt hours per year (GWh/yr) of 14.5% by 2050 under the A2 climate change scenario, and 39.5% by 2090. The study also looked in detail at one hydropower plant in each of the seven countries and found high impact in 2050 only on Belize's Mollejon and Nicaragua's Copalar, but by 2090 the impact was very high not only for those two but also El Salvador's 15 de Septiembre and Panama's Bayano, and high impact for the remaining three.
Workshop participants asked for help in building local capacity to undertake similar vulnerability studies. The workshop also discussed adaptation options in general terms, with a particular focus on alternative, sustainable energy sources such as solar, wind and geothermal. OLADE is working with the seven countries to study which of these options are viable for each, and the study undertaken for Central America is intended by OLADE to be replicated for other member countries for whom hydropower is an important component of their energy mix.
The workshop was organized with help from El Salvador's Superintendency of Electricity and Telecommunications (SIGET) and funding from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the General Secretariat of the Central American Integration System (SICA) and the Energy and Environment Partnership with Central America (EEP). It was attended by representatives of the energy ministries of all seven nations, the meteorological institutes of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Panama, the utilities in charge of hydropower in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras and Panama, as well as the Regional Committee for Water Resources (CRRH), the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), and the Electricity Council of Central America (ECAC).

Kevin Durant appeared destined to leave Nike for Under Armour, which offered him an astronomical contract worth more than $265 million, but the shoe company has countered that offer and expects to retain Durant for the next 10 years, ESPN.com reports.
Nike has presented a more lucrative deal for Durant, after it's initial offer of about $20 million per year. Durant's contract with Nike, a deal worth $60 million over seven years, is set to expire, and Nike does not want the NBA's second-best player to go elsewhere.
MORE: Under Armour offer | Why Durant withdrew from Team USA
Under Armour bet big with it's offer between $265 million and $285 million. The company went after Durant with a huge offer and assumed Nike would not be willing to pay such a high fee for the OKC Thunder forward's services.
Nike informed Jay-Z's RocNation that it would not sit idly by as Durant signed a large deal elsewhere. The company, which boasts a long list of big names, like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, will hold on to Durant.
The specifics of the Nike offer are not known, but ESPN.com reports that Durant will make more than Durant will make from the Thunder over the next seasons. Based on his current contract, the Thunder will pay Durant $41.2 million.

The middle linebacker has long been called the quarterback of the defense. Hall of Famers like Bill George and Chuck Bednarik first gained popularity for this key position, soon to be followed by legends like Dick Butkus, Sam Huff, Les Richter, Ray Nitschke, Willie Lanier, Jack Lambert, and more.
Even though the game today is ruled by quick passes that covers few yards in the air, the middle linebacker is still very important for more reasons than calling audibles and realigning teammates in the right positions.
Once know mainly for run support, the inside linebacker is generally more active in pass defense today. They cover more than running backs and tight ends, often peeling out deeper in coverage to try to stop the oppositions wide receivers.
Here are the best inside linebackers in the NFL today :
