Enroll Now!
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
This course is a different from most Web creation courses you'll find because it's not designed to teach you the mechanics of creating a Web page or how to use a particular software program. Instead, it's designed to help you take your website creations to the next level by enhancing both design and functionality. Together, we'll discover what attracts visitors to a website, and how to use design tools such as typography, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and multimedia to captivate visitors and keep them coming back.
Visitors are attracted by good design, but content is what keeps them at the site longer and motivates them to return. Learn how to use two tools to attract and retain visitors: design critiques and a content inventory. Explore the six major development stages that yield expert design and smart content. Then study the three parts of Web design and the skills you'll need for each.
By now, you probably understand that an interface is the screen visitors see and use when they visit any page of your site. Designing an interface is easy. Designing an effective interface, however, is more challenging. There are four main elements that you'll need to consider to make your site user-centric: usability, visualization, functionality, and accessibility. Explore each of these elements to see the thought that goes into effective interface design.
Even if your basic content is accurate, attractive, and well written, your site won't function well without a solid and logical organizational foundation. Review the five basic steps involved in organizing information and four essential structures that you can use to build a website. Then learn how to create a flowchart for the pages you want to include on your site.
Websites exist to inform, educate, persuade, or entertain. Take this opportunity to concentrate on site design themes that pay attention to information delivery. Learn how to organize elements in order to enable visitors to accomplish their own goals. Explore usability, content, and design.
Discover how you can use visual and graphic design, page layout, and grids to take your designs to the next level. At the same time, become familiar with design considerations like visual hierarchy, page dimensions, and white space.
Typography plays a dual role by providing both verbal and visual communication. Almost any type of font will do to transmit information to others. But to convey the right type of mood along with the information takes a special type and color of font. Learn all the secrets here!
Find out how you can use Cascading Style Sheets to modify fonts. Become familiar with inline, document-level, and external (linked) style sheets, and learn how to create an external CSS file to control the formatting of any or all pages on your site. For the more adventurous, we'll also take a look at some early font embedding techniques and explore two popular Flash-related options currently in use.
Before you write for the Web, you should take the time to understand how people read online. Become familiar with the use of titles, headlines, and subheads to assist readers in navigating your site. Discover the advantages of using a Web content management system. Learn how you can communicate more easily and informally with Web visitors by adding a blog to your site.
You can use images to add interest to your site and to help with navigation. Early designers were limited graphically by HTML attributes, and later designers discovered they could use tables to place images. Today's designers also have the option of using CSS to position images on the screen. But believe it or not, many people still use text-based browsers. So, you'll learn how to make the information you convey through your images accessible to those individuals as well.
The combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript allows you to create intensely interactive Web applications similar to any game or presentation built with traditional programming languages. This interaction of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is known as Dynamic HTML or DHTML. Become familiar with the basics of DHTML, including code you can use to enhance your designs by adding layers to your pages.
Early websites were created by a few to be read by many. Over the years, developers added interactivity to websites through discussion forums, chat rooms, and shopping carts. These features are part of what I think of as Web 1.0. Today the focus has shifted from the sponsor of the site to the visitor, and sites like Flickr and YouTube are popular. They're examples of Web 2.0 sites. Examine several popular Web 2.0 sites, and take a look ahead to Web 3.0.

Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
Hello as the Title Says i am Makeing Something like a Chat room.
I want to make a Place where you can Chose Friends to Talk with.
Not alike a Facebook.
<Name104>: Hey i think that is a good idea.
<Name101>: Well Thank you for your Concideration.
<Name110>: I Dont like it. But that is Just My opinion!
<Name101>: Well that is okay! :)
I have Started Basicly with Problems.
Told Sorta How to Do it but the Person who told me was Wrong.
#include <iostream>
10 mins to Write code.
Help Will Deaply Be Appreciated.
PS: A Great way to help a Rookiy is to Help Them understand code that you Put down.
Also to try helping Chose Codes to Fit!
Will Need Help with a Lot:
Linking Chat
Repeating Talk //You can write a Spesific code and will say Good Bye and Close Program.
system ("Pause") //Never has worked for me.
More Problems will be listed later.
Re: Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
If you're still at the level of thinking that "if Y = friendsyes;" is valid code then a chat room is a project you should shelve for now and concentrate on working through the exercises in your book. Get the language sorted first, then you can work on more complex projects. A chatroom is NOT a simple task suitable for a beginner who doesn't yet know the syntax of if statements.
Re: Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
And by the way another great way of helping a Rooky is to focus them on what will help them. This chatroom project is WAAAAAAAAAAAY beyond your abilities at the moment: think of a four-year-old child who's just spent 5 minutes playing with a screwdriver and announces he now wants to build a car.
Re: Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
After staring at your....I hesitate to use the word "code"...for a while I figured you probably meant to write something like this:
int main()
So assuming the four-year-old is now all "wanna build a car wanna build a car wanna build a car wanna build a car wanna build a car wanna build a car"...
Did you mean this should be LIKE Facebook or UNLIKE Facebook? If unlike, I have no idea what you want it to be like so I'll assume you mean LIKE. Facebook uses a central server to store messages and the users connect through their browsers. What technology are you going to use on the server? Are you going to use a database to store messages or store them in a program's memory? What happens when (not if) the program crashes - all messages will be lost if they're not stored somewhere?
What protocol are you going to use between the clients and the server? Are you going to roll your own or use an existing one? The program above - is this the start of the client application or the server application? Or are you going to use distributed technology to store messages and this will be both? If distributed, this will be UNLIKE Facebook because they do NOT use distributed tech; all your messages are stored on their servers.
I'll stop there because your brain will now have melted. Maybe back to those exercises in Chapter 3? <grin> But your enthusiasm is great; keep thinking of projects, but be aware that any real-world projects are going to be beyond you right now, although there's nothing wrong with playing around with various ideas. I have a number of projects on the go - chess solvers and the like, even an ambitious compiler suite comprising a C compiler, Z80 emulator, assembler, disassembler, linker etc - that'll probably never get finished; I just get them out every so often when I have that itch to scratch.
Re: Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
Okay i get it.
I had only called it BETA since it is Still getting Developed.
Also I found a Lotta things i needed just need to do more to Talk with Yourself.
So Far i now need to Figer out how to Repet the Same String and write something Different.
I still have a long Way to go i know.
I also know that i need to put in some counter parts for stoping it killing Your PC.
Why: Memory.
It will store all that Data and may slow your computer if you do not Reboot.
I am not even half way to makeing it Work VIA Lan/Internet.
I am up to Looping one Is compleat just need to do the other:
cout << "Trying to Starting Chat Please Wait a Few Moments..." << endl;//Saying It will Run Link "Yes".
string user = ""; //Users name for Chating!
cout << "enter Username and Press enter: ";
cin >> user;//Telling PC to Hold Username.
string chat = ""; //What you Write will be used in Chat!
cout << "Now you can Write a Message: " << endl;
cin >> chat; //Your Chat Message
getline(cin, chat); //The whole Chat message.
I am still workin on Some misstacks but they will be fixed at the Next Bug Fix Slot Time!
Do not run the Above as dose not work = Errors.
Re: Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
Found out what i need to sorta do.
One problem can not understand how to do it: Repeat Function
Loop may not do it as it loops what i don want to loop!
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#define sentence cout << sentence << endl;
using namespace std;
int main()
string sentence = ""; // Want to Repeat this base Function.
cout << "Write Something: ";
cin sentence;
? Have lost myself!
Re: Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
Well there are several ways of looping. My code shows you one way. I suggest you experiment with the examples in whatever book/course you are following until you get the hang of them.
The simplest loop - an infinite loop - can be done as follows:
for (;;)
Re: Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
By the way this is a really bad idea:
#define sentence cout << sentence << endl;
Re: Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
Oh and a repeat IS a loop. You cannot repeat without a loop, except by unrolling the loop, but that only works if you know at compile time how many times you want to repeat.
Re: Test Chat in BETA (Not Built Yet)
Thankyou for your Help.
I have Noticed that It dose not Like the #define chatuser ?
And also i was doing well till i hit a wall.
All programers hit walls at times!
|All times are GMT +5.5. The time now is 12:38.

LORETTO - Only one question really matters for a basketball program that's had just five winning seasons in the past 34 years: Is it possible to win at St. Francis?
New head coach Rob Krimmel is as mild mannered, polite professional as they come. Even when pressed earlier this year about the nepotism controversy that popped up when he was hired by his father, SFU athletic director Bob Krimmel, Rob always remained calm and poised on that touchy subject.
But recently, Rob got a little testy when asked the question above and admitted it irks him when that subject is brought up.
"You can absolutely win at St. Francis in men's basketball," Krimmel said Monday during the Red Flash's media day luncheon.
Saying it is one thing. Proving it, as history shows, is quite another for a program that's made only one NCAA Tournament appearance (1991) and more often than not fails to even qualify for its own conference tournament.
The Red Flash went 6-23 overall last season and 5-13 in the Northeast Conference, which got coach Don Friday forced out after four years and with believed to be one year remaining on his contract. The younger Krimmel, who bleeds red and white after playing at St. Francis and spending the past 12 years as an assistant coach, was hired by his father and university officials a day after Friday was ousted and without a coaching search.
Fact Box
SFU men
Coach: Rob Krimmel (first season as head coach; former St. Francis player who spent past 12 seasons as a Red Flash assistant)
Record last season: 6-23 overall, 5-13 Northeast Conference
Starters returning: G Anthony Ervin, 6-3 Sr. (11.2), G Stephon Whyatt, 6-1 So. (7.2), F Earl Brown, 6-6 So. (6.0), G Kameron Ritter, 6-3 Jr. (4.8); also G Umar Shannon, 5-11 Jr. (26.0 in one game last year before ACL injury, 15.8 in 2010-11)
Other key returning players: G Ollie Jackson, 6-3 So. (6.3, 12 starts), F Tony Peters, 6-6 Sr. (2.5), C Storm Stanley, 6-11 Jr. (1.4)
Notes: Krimmel replaces Don Friday, who went 32-86 in four seasons at SFU. ... Freshman forward Ronnie Drinnon (6-6, 234) expected to be major contributor. ... The Red Flash were picked to finish last in the NEC. ... St. Francis opens Nov. 9 at Penn State.
Record prediction: 9-20 overall, 7-11 Northeast Conference
- Cory Giger
Krimmel said he's received great support from the St. Francis community since the firestorm that surrounded his hiring, but he admitted one thing is different.
"There is more pressure," said Krimmel, whose team was picked to finish last in the NEC in the preseason coaches poll.
Whether Krimmel can win with the Red Flash remains to be seen. Whether any coach in America could win consistently at the tiny, isolated school - one of the smallest in Division I - also is questionable.
One item that's not questionable, though, is that if St. Francis is ever going to become a solid program, it must be able to do one thing drastically better.
"We have to win road games," Krimmel declared during his opening statement to Flash fans Monday.
St. Francis traditionally has been good or at least competitive at DeGol Arena, yet woeful away from home. The numbers:
n 5-8 at home, 1-15 on the road last season
n 7-5 at home, 2-16 on the road two years ago
n 9-5 at home, 2-14 on the road three years ago
n 4-8 at home, 2-15 on the road four years ago
It's tough to win on the road for most Division I teams, but despite a 25-26 record at home, St. Francis' four-year road record of 7-60 is nothing short of appalling.
"We know sometimes when we're on the road we seem soft, but when we're at home we're just fine," senior guard and co-captain Anthony Ervin said.
Krimmel pointed out the team simply needs to defend better on the road. That kind of toughness is a state of mind, and the Flash players have long had problems with it.
"It starts in practice, being mentally tough," Ervin said. "That's something that we preach every day, being mentally tough."
But is there more to it than just defense? There has to be for a program to be so Jekyll and Hyde home versus away.
Can something different be done on the bus ride, at the hotel, at meal time, during the shootaround, during pregame warmups or anything else to get the team better prepared mentally and physically to play?
"The routine is fine. All that's fine," Ervin said. "It's defense. It has nothing to do with eating, what you did all day. Like Coach Krimmel said, defense. That's what's going to win you games in basketball is defense."
The Flash suffered a big blow last year when standout guard Umar Shannon went down with a season-ending ACL injury in the final minute of the opener at VCU. Shannon was a second-team all-conference player two years ago (15.8 points per game) and certainly could have helped the team win a few more games, and he'll be counted on to lead the Flash in scoring most nights.
"Any time you have a kid like Umar out there who is going to draw some attention, it's going to make it easier for the other guys," Krimmel said.
Shannon was available only briefly on media day because of his class schedule, and he avoided two questions about how things might be different for him this season with a new coach.
"Practice is going very well for us as a team" was all Shannon would offer.
The coaching change in April caught the players by surprise, Ervin said, but they have familiarity with Krimmel and know what he values on the court from a basketball standpoint and off the court from a personal standpoint.
"Once we realized and saw ... who we were going to get as head coach, we were fine," Ervin said. "We were, 'All right, well, we all want to play, let's stay here, keep doing what we have to do and let's get better.'"
St. Francis has four starters back and a solid duo in Shannon and Ervin (11.2 points), but the departure of that fifth starter, forward Scott Eatherton, came as a surprise. The improving 6-foot-8 junior decided to transfer to Northeastern after the coaching change for undisclosed reasons.
Krimmel wouldn't say specifically why Eatherton left, only that it was for "personal reasons" and that "it wasn't just about basketball."
Whatever the reason, losing a skilled big man who averaged 14 points and seven rebounds is a blow to the team.
"Eatherton, he got better over a year," Ervin said. "Everybody in this locker room has gotten better over the summertime and over practice. ... You'll see a lot of different things happening and a lot of different guys stepping up."
One of those players who's expected to step up is freshman forward Ronnie Drinnon, a 6-6, 234-pounder who enrolled early in January and practiced with the team last season.
"Drinnon is a tough kid," Ervin said. "Drinnon brings a lot to the table, especially for a freshman. You wouldn't think he would do certain stuff that he does sometimes."

Boxed in
When Benedict wrote his rule for monasteries in the sixth century he included specific instructions for how a novice would be received into the monks' community of prayer.
The new and presumably young novice would enter a room called the oratory and vow stability, fidelity and obedience. Then he would say, "Receive me, Lord, as you have promised, and I shall live; do not disappoint me in my hope" (Ps. 119:116, Rule of St. Benedict). Benedict would then instruct the novice to pull off his street clothes and put on the habit of the monks. We would expect this.
But the next thing is surprising: the old street clothes were to be placed in the monk's closet.
I discovered these instructions when I was in graduate school. I was puzzled by Benedict's concern to preserve the street clothes. I told my medieval church history professor that I thought that Benedict should have demanded that the old clothes be burned, making the vow to become a monk permanent.

LOCAL Fine Gael TD Noel Harrington is urging people in West Cork to support the passing of the Fiscal Compact Treaty referendum which he says is "in the best interest of Ireland's future and will help ensure our economic recovery".
Deputy Harrington said the premise of the Treaty, which centres on responsible budgeting, has long been a commitment of the Fine Gael Party.
"We now have an opportunity to enshrine that concept in legislation so that future generations can be protected," he said.
According to the Beara TD tighter budget control will ensure that the practices that led us to where we are now can never happen again
"By ratifying the Treaty, we can build on the steady progress the country has made in the past year and ensure that firm rules are in place to prevent the reckless mismanagement of our economy in the future," he said.

This is a 6x9 journal commission I just completed.
Pure aaaawwwwweeeness!
absolutely stunning!!
How did you do the phoenix standing out like that? Is it a shape beneath that the leather is moulded over or is the rest of the leather flattened away from the design?
This is just amazing. I hope one day I will be able to make such works of art. Meanwhile, I keep studying .
Absolutely amazing!
Oh my god. This is so beautiful! I really want to comission you some day!
all the beautiful colors!!! that marbled paper is quite stunning and the leather is absolutely gorgeous! great work as always
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
I just want to exceed the expectations of the client.

Back to basics: AG stocks, large caps 0 commentsRead more: http://community.nasdaq.com/News/2010-10/back-to-basics-ag-stocks-large-caps.aspx?storyid=39905#ixzz133L8GeJN
Face it: We live in a world that could run short of food. Between the Russian drought of the summer (bullish for wheat) to the slow Chinese planting this year (bullish for corn), demand for agricultural products is strong but supply is subject to the whims of nature. Even water could become a hot commodity in the near future. Friday saw limit up trading for corn and other "soft" commodities.
Will the record-breaking agricultural rally continue? More forecasts out of the global agricultural watchdogs say there is still plenty of support out there for manufacturers of farm chemicals, as well as the soft commodity producers themselves. Cosan CZZ is only the tip of the iceberg here.
Speaking of water and other things that flow, fund data continue to reveal record flows of cash into emerging markets funds. However, the large caps and the core cellular names have lagged. Take a look at traditional names that have not necessarily endeared themselves to global investors because they have historically been inefficient, subject to government interference or both.
For that matter, take a look at the "legacy" names that were once bellwethers of the emerging markets space but are just not in the sexy consumer / retail sectors. The kind of names we are talking about include: CHL, PTR, OGZPY and even old PBR.

We are investigating the effectiveness of subpixel event repositioning (SER) techniques for Chandra X-ray CCD imaging observations. SER techniques are based on the premise that the sizes of charge clouds generated by photons incident on the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) are quite small compared to an ACIS pixel, such that the landing positions for split events should be near the pixel boundaries instead of the pixel centers. Therefore SER algorithms designed to reposition split event landing positions, if suitably constrained by ACIS CCD models, should improve the spatial resolution of Chandra/ACIS observations. However, the resolution improvement may be different for frontside-illuminated (FI) and backside-illuminated (BI) CCDs. Using BI/FI archival Chandra/ACIS data obtained for Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) and ACIS CCD models to determine the detailed relationship between landing positions and split event geometries, we evaluated a modified SER algorithm based on that proposed by Tsunemi et al. (2001, ApJ, 554, 496). By applying this SER technique to ONC point like sources, we establish the degree of image improvement achieved by SER for both BI and FI devices as a function of off-axis angle, split event percentage, and total source counts. We also apply the SER technique to various extended sources, and present the resulting improvements in image quality.

Beer lovers from all over the world gathered and took part in the 27th annual Oregon Brewers Festival at Tom McCall Waterfront Park Friday afternoon, July 25, 2014. The five-day beer festival, which started Wednesday and runs through Sunday, features different beer-relative vendors, food vendors and live music.
Tom Trahan participated in the beer festival last year and decided to come back again. Originally from Seattle, Trahan is impressed by the festival and the city of Portland. "I love beer," Trahan said, "Portland is famous for beer. I thought this festival was going to be awesome. People in Portland are fantastically friendly."
Ground admission is free, but to buy a beer, consumers will need to pay with wood tokens, which cost $1 apiece and an additional $7 for a 12.8 oz tasting glass.

Department of the Army Historical Summary: FY 1987
Special Functions
Civil Works is the collective title for the Corps of Engineers' program regulating water resources. The program includes a variety of activities that consist of planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining facilities and managing real estate to develop the nation's essential water resources and improve its rivers, harbors, and waterways for navigation, flood control, hydroelectric power, recreation, fish and wildlife, and related purposes that are useful in both peace and wartime execution of its mission.
Significant Legislation
The Army's role in civil construction can be traced to 1824, when Congress, acting upon the recommendation of President James Monroe, passed the first Rivers and Harbors Act appropriating funds for COE use in clearing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Since that time, the development and maintenance of inland waterways and harbor channels has remained one of the Army's primary civil missions.
In addition to its civil construction function, the Civil Works program regulates the Corps' dredging activities. In 1972 and 1977, the 1899 law was broadened under the Clean Water Acts to include supervising the emission of dredged or fill material in wetlands and other aquatic environments. As a result of the Clean Water legislation, the Corps has dredging responsibility in a total of 400 ports in some of the nation's largest cities.
In 1986 the most significant law passed on behalf of the Civil Works program, Public Law (PL) 99-662, the Water Resources and Development Act, became effective. In addition to redefining the criteria for evaluating COE projects, the act established rules for sharing financial and intellectual (engineering) responsibility for COE projects with the private sector. The latter provision set a precedence for cost sharing with the community in recognition of mandatory federal budgetary constraints and the corresponding requirement for private dollars from communities that require COE assistance. Defined and described as cost sharing, the law generally designates the types of projects and percentage of cash that civilian sponsors are required to pay
for COE constructed or maintained projects; for example, community sponsors are responsible for 100 percent of projects done exclusively for the community. These include the construction of hydroelectric power projects and municipal and industrial water supply projects.
Significant Accomplishments During FY 1987
The Corps continues its work of operating about 225 locks and maintaining some 12,000 miles of channels on the inland waterways, which carry one-tenth of the total U.S. intercity cargo. The agency is also responsible for building and maintaining channels at 105 major commercial harbors (2 million or more tons of commerce annually) and about 400 smaller harbors.
The Corps also operates a fleet of 19 dredges (4 seagoing) and over 2,000 other vessels, and contracts with private industry dredges to move annually about 350 million cubic yards of dredged material for construction and maintenance of navigation channels. This fiscal year, Civil Works performed approximately 270 million cubic yards of maintenance dredging at a cost of approximately $440 million. This includes dredging for the Mississippi River and Tributaries water resources development program in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Major new dredging construction starts this year include Baltimore Harbor, Maryland; Norfolk Harbor, Virginia; Kings Bay, Georgia; Kill Van Kull, New York; Mississippi River in Louisiana; and Mobile Harbor, Alabama.
Because of its navigation and flood control responsibility, COE projects produce annually almost 30 percent of the nation's hydropower or 3.5 percent of its total electric energy, at 70 locations. This year the Corps continued to maintain the 115 lakes for which the agency is responsible. Water from these lakes stores 275.2 million acre-feet of water for use in agricultural, municipal, and industrial pursuits. Additionally, COE continued operating the more than 2,000 recreation areas at its projects, while maintaining the leases on a vast number of properties that are being used by state, local, and private park developers.
In the performance of its responsibility to participate in reimbursable international technical projects, the Corps is assisting the Republic of Korea (ROK) by developing the Han River for navigational purposes. Authorization for such projects is granted under the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act and administered by the Department of State and the Agency for International Development. For such projects, the COE is technically an employee of the state government for which it works.
This year the Corps continued to discharge its obligation to provide emergency relief to civilians by administering emergency
assistance and cooperating with federal, state, and local authorities during the flood of 1987. To prevent flooding by controlling the water distribution in the surrounding areas during this emergency, the reservoirs of the Corps' New England Division closed the gates on thirty-five of its dams on five major river basins. On two similar occasions this year, also as a result of two spring storms within five days, the New England Division's reservoirs stored nearly 275 billion gallons of water to prevent flooding to surrounding areas.
The thirty-six districts of the COE are authorized to assist civilian authorities during emergencies or natural disasters (i.e., floods, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions). During FY 1987, the Corps responded to a total of 48 flood-related situations and carried out 136 emergency repair operations at a combined cost of $31 million.
In connection with its flood control activities, the Corps dedicated a massive $206 million structure, which it constructed to regulate the flow of the Mississippi River into the nearby Atchafalaya River in May 1987. Known as the Old River Auxiliary Control Structure, the edifice reinforces the original control structures that regulate water distribution between the two rivers by channeling 70 percent of the water down the Mississippi River and funneling the remaining 30 percent up the Atchafalaya.
Appropriations for the Civil Works program in FY 1987 totaled $3.1 billion, an increase of $401 million from FY 1986. Table 7 identifies the funding by title. A majority of the budget was allocated to specific projects identified under the category "General Investigations and Construction and Operation and Maintenance." Tables 8-10 identify the projects for which this money was allocated.

Security Assistance
In accordance with congressional legislation in effect at the time, the Army trained Nicaraguan commanders of contra troops on small unit tactics and weaponry at various locations in Central America and the United States.
Increased military cooperation between the United States and the People's Republic of China characterized Secretary of Defense Weinberger's visit to that country this year. Subsequent visits from the Chiefs of Staff of the respective U.S. Armed Forces followed.
Support to Other Agencies and Foreign Governments
This year the nation commemorated the 200th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution by convening a joint session of Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from 15-16 July 1987. Moving both legislative houses to Philadelphia for the commemoration event required significant support from DOD. The Secretary of the Army was named the DOD Executive Agent for this activity, and the Directorate of Military Support (DMS) became the Executive Action Agent responsible for coordinating the logistics for the move with the other military services and the USAR representatives as well as for generally assisting Congress with transportation, security, communications, medical, and aviation resources.
In FY 1987, the Department of the Army contributed to the success of the Pan American Games by providing housing for the athletes at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, and subsequently serving as Executive Agency. The ASA (I&L) had oversight responsibility, while the Director of Military Support, DCSOPS, served as action agent whose primary responsibility was to assist law enforcement officials. Following the completion of the games and the departure of the athletes, over 60,000 pieces of equipment were recovered and transported to various federal organizations.
The Army continued to cooperate with national and international agencies to support U.S. drug interdiction efforts. In South and Central America, the United States extended its efforts to prevent drug traffickers from reaching the U.S. by committing approximately 150 U.S. Army personnel, including support personnel and six UH-60 helicopters, to Bolivia on 14 July 1986. Support for the Bolivian effort came from the USSOUTHCOM in Panama at the invitation of the Bolivian government and the behest of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). The troops were expected to remain in Bolivia until 15 November 1986. The mission of these troops was to eradicate major cocaine production areas by fighting
defoliation and transporting Bolivian Army troops to the northern and central parts of Bolivia.
Legislation authorizing DOD to support the drug interdiction effort became effective on 27 October 1986 under the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. The act authorized $40 million for use in purchasing eight UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters to be loaned to U.S. Customs. Of the amount appropriated, $18 million was used to provide four helicopters for this purpose. While implications of the statute are still evolving under the guidance of its lead agency, JCS, the law requires the Secretary of Defense to provide a list of additional assistance and a plan for lending appropriate equipment by 27 January 1987. The Secretary of Defense's list of support areas will include surveillance, reserve components, communications, intelligence, aviation, marine vessels, and land vehicles. Input to the Secretary of Defense's supported agencies will identify specific requirements, equipment availability, and readiness impacts that cannot be determined without this assistance. The report will demonstrate the cost of sealing U.S. borders to drugs in terms of its impact on readiness.
During this fiscal year, aviation elements of the Army continued to support Operation Bahamas (OPBAT) and Turks/Caicos Islands on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week basis. OPBAT was initiated in 1982 when the Royal Bahamian Police Force requested assistance from the U.S. Government to stem the flow of drugs through the Bahamas. The operations consist of the Royal Bahamian Police Force, DEA, U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Coast Guard, and Turks and Caicos Islands Police with transportation assistance from U.S. Army UH-60 helicopters. The mission requires that these helicopters be furnished overwater equipment. DEA and Coast Guard personnel directed the OPBAT helicopter operations and coordinated all other interdiction operations in the Bahamas from the U.S. embassy in Nassau.

The Film
A rebel and innovator, pop singer Lupe Yoli, otherwise known as La Lupe or La Yiyiyi, was renowned for her emotional performance style. Her renditions of classics such as "My Way," "Fever," and "Going Out of My Head" were famous worldwide. But the legendary Cuban-born star was also a single mother of two, a survivor of domestic abuse, and a Santera who later became an evangelist Christian speaker. La Lupe Queen of Latin Soul tells La Lupe's story through character-driven interviews in first-person anecdotes, in an oral history much like those found in a folk ballad or a bolero.
Shot in New York City, Miami, Havana, and Puerto Rico, La Lupe evokes two groundbreaking cultural periods through interviews and rare archival footage: pre-revolutionary 1950s Havana and the burgeoning Latin music scene in New York City in the 1960s and 1970s. The film begins with La Lupe's funeral in 1992 — attended by fans, family and the whole of New York's Latino music aristocracy — and follows her from poverty to celebrity and back again.
A long-time gay icon who was often described as the first performance artist, La Lupe was ahead of her time. In trying to discover who Lupe was, La Lupe also provides a collective portrait of mid-20th-century Latin musical history.

New Targas and Vans Fargos
I twisted off and bought new bindings and boots Friday. After the 2nd run of the day I broke the small strap on my back foot toe binding Probably 2 miles and 2 lifts from the base. I cranked the boot a little tighter and couldn't tell the difference on the way back. I found out that I had forgotten my old bindings and replacement parts for my new one's at the place I had bought them so I road the rest of the day without my back toe strap. I don't know if it was the boots or the bindings but these things are great. In the evening we drove back to town and replaced the broken strap. I think I may have just got a hold of a bad strap. I love the targas and the adjustments are not nearly as complicated as one might think and the boots are the bombs. The only drawback with the boots are they are so easy to loosen and tighten I was adjusting them about every run. I love the cable and wheel instead of the old laces. The only other problem with the boots is I tended to want to crush my front foot. I would have to pop them loose for every lift just to get the blood flowing again. I wear a size 12 boot and wouldn't suggest the targas for anyone with a bigger foot The ankle strap seemed just barely long enough for me.
Both boots and bindings are great and I would recommend them to anyone.
Damn son, you broke them your first day and you still like em??!! They must be one helluva binding. I would be significantly frusterated and probably through with a binding if they broke the first day. Glad you like your new stuff though. :thumbsup:
It was probably a flaw in the plastic and not Rome's falt. It happened when I stepped out of it at the lift and the buckle side just flew off. Besides I'm to old and life's to short to sweat the small stuff.
Papa you've got to be older than dirt to be calling me son.:D
HAHA ;)Catchy Rob & Big lingo son. I agree with you that it was probably an isolated case. I haven't heard too many complaints about Romes. I would nonetheless, still be pissed off if I bought a pair of $270 bindings and had them break my first day.
You must have really 'done work' on those bindings(sorry, couldn't resist another Rob and Big catch phrase).
I guess you can blame my lack of being pissed on my boots. My previous brand of boots were Shitty's. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. And the riding helped a bunch too. The 1st day had 10" of fresh, the 2nd was a ride necked day (it felt like it was in the 80s), and the 3rd day was nuke day where you could barely see which way to go it was snowing so hard. I returned home to 50mph wind with blowing sand.
Sucks that you snapped one and still made a day out of it... I had to call it a day when my old sims bindings took a sh*t on me! :mad:
oh if only you had broken the strap of a burton binder...
this thread would have 50+ posts in it by now, from those telling you you should've bought rome!
At my age if I broke a Big 5 binding you could bet it was a flaw in the material and not due to stress from riding. Anytime there is less than 200lb pressing on the top of my board I slow my butt down because I'm catching too big of air. :laugh:

Financial Regulation and the Current Crisis: A Guide for the Antitrust Community
Lawrence J. White
New York University (NYU) - Leonard N. Stern School of Business, Department of Economics
June 11, 2009
The U.S. financial crisis of 2007-2008 has been a searing experience. The popping of a housing bubble exposed the subprime lending debacle, which in turn created a wider financial crisis. In its response to this crisis, the federal government has provided financial assistance to a number of financial institutions that are often described as 'too big to fail' (TBTF) – which, to those who associate antitrust with size, seems to bring antitrust potentially into the picture. This paper will offer a guide to the antitrust community that will cover the U.S. financial sector, financial regulation, and the debacle and subsequent financial crisis. The tensions that can arise between financial regulation and antitrust will be highlighted. TBTF is not one of them, however, because TBTF is about size and interconnectedness, but not about competition and market power. Although much progress has been made in removing anticompetitive elements from financial regulation over the past three to four decades, there are still important advances that can be made. The paper concludes by offering a set of policy recommendations for the removal of some of the important remaining elements of financial regulation that impede competition.

COMPETITION in an industry generally drives prices down towards the cost of making an additional unit of the product. If all firms compete vigorously, prices should be low enough for consumers to benefit. This, in turn, reduces inflation, improves economic growth and benefits the poor. Vigorous competition also forces companies to devise new ways of doing things and/or to do new things, leading to low cost and a variety of choices for consumers. This is called technological innovation and is one of the biggest factors that promotes the continued growth of economies, and so creates jobs.
Cartels prevent competition and cause participating firms to act collectively as a monopoly, or near monopoly. As long as they remain in this state, there is little need to innovate and hence they keep the economy in a low-growth situation, while extracting higher prices from consumers. In almost all cases, cartels are a bad thing for consumers and for the economy. This is why the Competition Commission challenges existing cartels and attempts to prevent new ones from forming.
Many disputes have been successfully initiated by the commission against cartel behaviour in various industries, including cartels in the construction value chain. In fact, the high cartel prevalence in this sector prompted the commission to establish the Construction Fast-track Programme, which encourages companies to "confess their cartel sins" and helps to expose those who fail to "confess".
The concrete products cartel is just one of the cartels in the construction value chain that has been investigated. Precast concrete products are used in building and construction, including road and earthworks, pipeline and transmission networks and other civil engineering works. They are important in our economy because they are used in houses, roads, stadiums, etc. As a result, they affect the prices we pay for just about everything — from road tolls, transport fares and housing, to the price of transported goods and even using a toilet.
The Construction, Education and Training Authority estimates there are 35,000 employers in South Africa's construction sector. About 95% are micro enterprises, on which many poor and middle-class citizens depend for their livelihood. From 2009 to 2010, employment in the sector dropped 6.4%, to 424,100.
I wrote a paper, which has been reviewed by an independent academic, on the effect of the commission's "fight" to stop cartels, using the important concrete products industry as an example, and a technical method called the difference-in-difference econometric technique to quantify the results.
Early estimates show that during the existence of the cartel, consumers were paying up to 51% more than the prices they were likely to have paid if there had been vigorous competition in the industry. What is surprising is that those producers that were not part of the cartel also made gains — in some cases up to 15% above what consumers would have paid if there had been vigorous competition. This shows that it does not matter whether all related producers are in a cartel or not — whenever there is a cartel for a product, all the companies producing that product gain, and all the consumers using that product are disadvantaged.
To understand the problem further, it is interesting to note one of the most recent works in this area by John Connor. In a paper titled Cartels and Antitrust Portrayed: Private International Cartels from 1990 to 2008, Connor calculates the range of cartel overcharge to be between 17% and 21%. This does not include South Africa.
It is important to note that research may underestimate the true extent of the higher price that results from cartels. Prices do not fall instantly to realistic levels after the successful fight against a cartel. Rather, prices fall gradually over a period of a few months to a few years, depending on the way people do business in the industry. In the concrete products industry, prices were still falling three years after the commission's fight.
Researchers have investigated why companies gain more by belonging to a cartel in some parts of the world than others. One reason is that the longer the competition authorities successfully fight against cartels, the less companies are prepared to fix their prices at high levels, even if they participate in a cartel. This means if we help the Competition Commission to fight against cartels all the time, even if cartels are still formed, the cartel prices will not be as high.

Penelec investigating outage in Erie
Traffic lights in downtown Erie went dark today a little after noon due to a power outage.
Erie firefighters were called to a fire at a utility pole on German Street between Front Street and East Second Street at about 12:20 p.m.
Traffic lights on the Bayfront Parkway began going back on at about 12:40 p.m. An Erie County emergency dispatcher said no traffic accidents resulted from the outage.
Penelec spokesman Dan Heher said 1,800 customers lost electricity but all had their power restored by 2 p.m.
Heher said crews were investigating what happened to cause a breaker to trip in a substation and shut off the power.
A dead squirrel was in the street in front of the German Street pole and a downed wire threw off occasional sparks and smoke as firefighters closed off the street to traffic.
"It sounded like a bomb went off," neighbor Patrice Leising said.

This has been covered in one or two posts before, but I haven't seen any real details on it.
I live under the approach path to TPA. Recently, a US A319 came over and the right wing strobed twice like is normal on an airbus, but the left wing only strobed once. I'm absolutely positive of this...I looked at the aircraft for a good long while and saw it from several angles as it passed overhead.
A few nights later, I saw the same thing happen again, but this time it was a US A321. The left wing strobe bulb was obviously still working as it blinked once in both cases, but what would cause it to only blink one time while the right strobe blinked twice? Are there actually two strobes that strobe one right after the other on each wing? If it matters, both wings and the tail strobed at the same time, then the right wing strobed again. If the strobe is still technically working, is there any requirement to fix it?
Another strobe related question...I saw a CO 752 come over tonight with only one strobe blinking. Does that mean that it burned out in flight, or are planes allowed to take off with one inop strobe? What about with all wing/tail strobes inop?
Inquiring minds want to know

The Gloucester County Save The Animals Foundation will host its 12th Annual Bucket Auction on March 20.
This year, part of the proceeds will go toward a scholarship in memory of Elwood, the unconventionally attractive pet once known as the world's ugliest dog. The scholarship will benefit special needs students attending Gloucester County College.
Karen Quigley, Elwood's adopted mom, first introduced the idea in December after Elwood's death on Thanksgiving Day. For the fund to be considered a perpetual scholarship, however, organizers need to raise at least $10,000. So far, fans and friends have donated a little more than $5,000.
Prizes at the event include pet gift baskets, museum passes, concert tickets and gift cards. The proceeds from the auction's 50/50 event will benefit Elwood's scholarship.
The bucket auction will be held at 6:30 p.m. on March 20 in the Washington Township High School 9-10 cafeteria, located at 529 Hurffville-Crosskeys Rd.
To make a donation directly to the Elwood Memorial Scholarship, send checks to the Gloucester County College Foundation, 1400 Tanyard Rd., Sewell, NJ, 08080 with "Elwood Scholarship" in the memo line. Donors can make contributions online at everyoneloveselwood.com.

Chapter two of Anfernee Hardaway's career starts in the desert after a trade sent Penny packing his belonging in Orlando to join Jason Kidd as part of a formidable 1-2 backcourt punch. That explains the various Suns-inspired colorways of Penny-branded Nikes, like this next-in-line colorway of the Nike Air Penny V; it features a sick mix of Court Purple and Rave Pink that forms a snazzy gradient on the midsole, much like the Air Force 180 Mid in the similar colorway. These are beginning to arrive at retailers as the release date is targeted for November 3rd (two Saturdays from now), so check out the new images below and let us know if this is the best Penny V to date.

Case Studies
City of Royal Oak: Central Services Cost Allocation Plan
In 2005, the City of Royal Oak was facing a $5.1 million General Fund operating deficit. Recognizing the severity of the financial challenges faced by the City, management and elected officials developed a plan to balance the budget in two and one-half years. In addition to cost reductions and revenue enhancements, a key component of the plan was to have "all Non-General Fund activities pay their own way." This goal was accomplished through the development of a Cost Allocation Plan. Municipal Analytics staff conducted the study, and provided the City with a working allocation model that has been incorporated into the City's financial management plan. According to the City Manager's budget letter in 2008, "The Cost Allocation Plan has saved the General Fund over $500,000 per year. Because we put it into effect at the end of the 2005-2006 fiscal year, we are now starting the fourth year of the plan, and the General Fund has saved well over $2 million."
If saving this kind of money in your General Fund is important to you, contact us to discuss whether a cost allocation model could benefit your community.
Charter Township of Shelby: Five-year Financial Forecasting Model
This community of 70,000 had prepared plans to construct a new $20 million justice center building to house its police department and district court operation. The Board was firmly committed to funding the project without increasing taxes. Prior to issuing debt for the project, we were engaged to conduct an analysis of the feasibility of paying for the debt service and operating costs of the building, without a tax increase. Our five-year financial forecasting model identified several weaknesses in the Township's finances, which resulted in cancellation of the project. The model continues to be used to help the Township make financial planning decisions for a number of budget proposals and operational strategies. The Township is currently discussing options to construct a police facility for less than $5 million, to be paid for with cash reserves. Cost savings as a result of utilizing the financial model: over $15 million.
Based on the effectiveness of the financial model for the feasibility analysis, the Township has expanded the model to include more funds. Over the past two years, the model has been used to help develop annual budgets and support the Township's position in labor negotiations. The forecast of future financial conditions in Shelby helped the Township win significant concessions in an ongoing labor contract arbitration case, which will save the municipality hundreds of thousands of dollars in the first couple of years of the new contract.
Many local governments contact us to develop financial models, which can be used for a range of financial analysis. If you are looking for a cost effective tool to significantly improve your financial decision making, you should consider a Five-Year Financial Forecasting Model.
City of Novi: Shared Services Cost Analysis
The City of Novi, MI, has an emergency dispatch operation, serving the City as well as two neighboring communities. A cost sharing agreement had been in place for many years, but the City was uncertain of the basis for the costs included in the agreement. When a third neighboring community approached the City about joining the regional dispatch service, Novi decided it would be a good time to determine the true costs of the dispatch operation, and develop a rational, justifiable cost allocation methodology that could be applied to all contracting communities. Our staff worked with the City's Police and Finance departments to identify all costs associated with the dispatch operation. We then evaluated a number of allocation methods, trying to find an approach which was fair, understandable and based on measurable inputs. The analysis concluded that the two existing contract communities were paying less than their "fair share," and that it would be cost ineffective for the third community to join the regional dispatch operation. Based on the study's findings, Novi was able renegotiate its dispatch agreements with the original two contracting communities, and is phasing in the cost increases over several years. The value of the contracts will increase from $70,000 prior to the study, to over $150,000 per year.
As you explore opportunities to save costs through shared services with other municipalities, it may be valuable to first conduct a Shared Services Cost Analysis to ensure your community would benefit financially. Find out how to get started.

MONTGOMERY - Gov. Bob Riley today proposed rewriting the bill passed by lawmakers that would pay $547.6 million over 13 years to subsidize the state's struggling Prepaid Affordable College Tuition program.
David Stewart, Riley's chief of staff, said part of the bill as passed by the Legislature Wednesday would endanger the tax-exempt status of more than $1 billion in bonds issued by the state's Public School and College Authority. Losing that tax-exempt status could cost the state much money.
Riley asked the Senate and House of Representatives to pass an executive amendment that would erase what Riley said was a flawed section of the bill. The Senate voted this afternoon voted 24-0 to go along with the change, which now goes to the House.
The PACT bill could die if the House fails to act on it. Today is the last day of this year's regular session of the Legislature.
The Public School and College Authority now invests proceeds from bond sales if the money isn't immediately needed to pay contractors or meet other needs. The authority spends interest from bond proceeds on construction or other capital projects.
But section 11 of the PACT plan, Senate Bill 162, as passed by the Legislature said that that interest income, once the bill becomes law, would be transferred to the PACT program. Stewart said that transfer would violate Internal Revenue Service rules, since the money wouldn't be spent on construction or other capital projects.
Acting state Finance Director Bill Newton said that if the transfer were to become law, the IRS could and likely would remove the tax-exempt status of PSCA bonds, interest on which is not now taxed by the federal government. Losing that tax-exempt status would force the PSCA to pay much higher interest rates on its bonds, Newton said.
