I Like the Christian Life! #7
Original Caption:
Boston -- Evangelist Billy Graham is shown in an appearance at the "Golden Nugget" bar, in Boston's theater zone. The master of ceremonies brought the band to a halt and invited the evangelist onto the stage. Graham took the microphone and said "This is an unusual congregation for me!" He was cheered by the patrons. Graham toured other nightspots and said he thought the trip was most worthwhile. (1964)

Hi All,
I developing a web application with a gridview control I used a delete command field in that gridview as the below markups.
I used the text to show a image in it, I need a java script confirmation to delete the record.
<asp:CommandField DeleteText="" ShowDeleteButton="True" HeaderText="Delete"></asp:CommandField>
Any idea let me know that.
Thanks in advance......
as.netp.net 2.0 C# gridview
Nov 26, 2009 01:11 AM|vinz|LINK
The easiesy way would be converting your CommandField to Template and add a LinkButton on it. that way you can easily hook up your confirmation diaglog there. Check this example: Display Confirmation Message on GridView Deleting
If you insist to use CommandField then you can try the code mentioned here:

In one of my previous projects, I need to show a confirmation message to the user before actually deleting the record from the database, this is how i did it :
Template Column in Grid View Control:
<a style="color: Blue; font-weight: bold;"

 id="A2" causesvalidation="false"

 href='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Id")%>'

 onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this record?')"

 onserverclick="DeleteRecord" runat="server">

 Delete

Code Behind Delete Method:
protected void DeleteRecord(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

 if(Page.IsPostBack)

 {

 try

 {

 DBClass DB = new DBClass();

 HtmlAnchor NewAnchorControl = new HtmlAnchor();

 NewAnchorControl = (HtmlAnchor)sender;

 Int32 Id;

 Id = Convert.ToInt32(NewAnchorControl.HRef);

 string MyQuery = "DELETE FROM CStatus WHERE Id = '"+Id+"'";

 DB.ExecuteSQL(MyQuery);

 BindGrid();

 lblMsg.Visible=true;

 lblMsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

 lblMsg.Text="Record Deleted Successfully!";

 }

 catch(Exception exp)

 {

 lblMsg.Visible=true;

 lblMsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

 lblMsg.Text=exp.Message;

 }

 }

ICD-10 Diagnosis Code S92.4
Fracture of great toe
Diagnosis Code S92.4
Short Description: Fracture of great toe
Long Description: Fracture of great toe
This is the 2017 version of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code S92.4
Not Valid for Submission
The code S92.4 is a "header" and not valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions.
Code Classification
Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00–T98)
Injuries to the ankle and foot (S90-S99)
- Fracture of foot and toe, except ankle (S92)
- Injuries to the ankle and foot (S90-S99)
Information for Medical Professionals
References found for the code S92.4 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
- Type 2 Excludes Notes: "And"
The word "and" should be interpreted to mean either "and" or "or" when it appears in a title.
- Physeal fracture of phalanx of toe (S99.2-)
Information for Patients
Also called: Broken bone
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Symptoms of a fracture are
- Intense pain
- Deformity - the limb looks out of place
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injury
- Numbness and tingling
- Problems moving a limb
You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.

Toe Injuries and Disorders
Fourteen of the 26 bones in your feet are in your toes. The toes, particularly your big toe, help you move and keep your balance. Playing sports, running, stubbing your toe, and dropping something on your foot can damage your toes. Wearing shoes that are too loose or too tight can also cause toe problems. Certain diseases, such as severe arthritis, can cause toe problems and pain. Gout often causes pain in the big toe.
Common toe problems include
- Corns and bunions
- Ingrown toenails
- Sprains and dislocations
- Fractures
Treatments for toe injuries and disorders vary. They might include shoe inserts or special shoes, padding, taping, medicines, rest, and in severe cases, surgery.
- Broken toe - self care
- Bunion removal
- Bunions
- Clubbing of the fingers or toes
- Hammer toe
- Hammer toe repair
- Hammer toe repair - discharge
- Polydactyly

U.S. Navy Launches First Unmanned X-47B Aircraft from Carrier Flight Deck
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
While X-47B is for non-operational use, its precision navigation algorithms will be used to create the first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft
The United States Navy launched an unmanned aircraft from a modern carrier flight deck for the first time ever Tuesday.
The unmanned aircraft was the
X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System demonstrator
, and its first-ever launch from a modern aircraft carrier represents how manned and unmanned aircraft on carrier flight decks will be merged in the future.
A mission operator aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) controlled X-47B, showing off how well it works within a carrier environment. It landed back at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland.
"This historic event challenges the paradigm of manned carrier landings that were first conducted more than 90 years ago," said Rear Adm. Mat Winter. "In that challenge though, comes a respect and admiration for all those naval aviators – past and present – that have ensured the value of the Navy aircraft carrier/carrier air wing team.
"The addition of unmanned aviation to this formidable, power projection team provides a complementary capability, which will ensure carrier naval aviation remains viable and relevant for decades to come. It also shows our collective readiness within naval aviation to embrace these future opportunities to move forward with unmanned carrier aviation.
"This is a big deal!"
While X-47B is for non-operational use, its precision navigation algorithms will be used to create the first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft.
That future aircraft is expected to feature "24/7 carrier-based intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and targeting capability" which will operate with manned aviation assets.

Orchestra Leadership Academy Seminars: 2011 Conference
- Maximizing and Sustaining Leadership Impact
- Patron Growth and Advancement: A Crash Course in Fundamentals
- Pops Programming
- Bold Leadership: Seizing Opportunity in Times of Change
- Making Smart Strategic Choices
- Developing Ensemble Programs for Children in Your Community
- The Role of the Board Chair
- Digital Strategies for Your Orchestra
Maximizing and Sustaining Leadership Impact
Today's climate is taking a heavy toll on orchestra personnel as they
navigate and make decisions that have short and long-term impacts on
their colleagues and on their orchestra. Providing leadership today is
difficult and lonely work. Even solid relationships with board, staff,
and artistic personnel are challenged – and all this is not likely to
change in the near term.
This seminar will provide the opportunity and space to reflect on your current experience, to discover a framework for refocusing your leadership, and to help you develop strategies that nurture and generate renewal both for you and for your organization.
Participants will:
- Clarify the purpose of their work and the core values they want to exemplify as leaders
- Identify strategies to increase effectiveness
- Articulate changes needed to enhance focus, commitment, energy and satisfaction
This seminar is designed for executive directors, department heads,
members of the board, and any others responsible for oversight of
Ronnie Brooks ( bio), division director, Wilder Center for Communities and the James P. Shannon Leadership Institute
Dates: Monday, June 6 (9:00AM-5:30PM), Tuesday, June 7 (8:00AM-12:30PM)
Patron Growth and Advancement: A Crash Course in Fundamentals
Our industry is undergoing a gradual metamorphosis: marketing and
development staffs are working more as if a single unit. Why? Because
while music is our mission, the development of patrons is our primary
business. This is rendering the traditional monikers of "marketing" and
"development" insufficient. A culture of patron development is
emerging and ushering in a requirement to anticipate the changing needs
of patrons at every stage of their relationship, from ticket-buyer to
annual contributor; subscriber to legacy donor.
In this seminar participants will learn:
- How development of a patron is different from marketing and fundraising;
- What is an "ideal patron" and how to attract, incent, and earn a relationship with them;
- Practical strategies for developing a robust patron base – through the lens of patron development and sales; patron engagement and loyalty programs; and patron advancement;
- Fundamentals for patron market research and the ideal balance of human vs. electronic patron intelligence;
- Constructive, no-nonsense linkages between traditional marketing and development offices;
- Assessment tools to evaluate your underlying sales and fundraising acumen;
Paul Hogle, executive vice president, Detroit Symphony; David Snead, vice president of marketing, New York Philharmonic
Faculty Bios
Dates: Monday, June 6 (9:00AM-5:30PM), Tuesday, June 7 (8:00AM-12:30PM)
Pops Programming
This seminar is designed for orchestras of all budget sizes that offer pops and/or special programs as part of their season's programming and will provide a broad overview of all kinds of pops shows.
Pops and special programs allow orchestras to diversify their repertoire
and concert offerings, increase profitability, and extend their
audience beyond those who enjoy standard classical repertoire. As tastes
change and new genres emerge, pops repertoire and artists, as well as
presentation formats, evolve and change as well. This seminar will
examine how repertoire, artists and presentations have evolved over
time, and aid participants in addressing the key questions – "what makes
a successful pops program for my orchestra in 2011?" and "what kinds of
programmatic adjustments are necessary in today's economy?" Aimed at
artistic administrators, marketing and PR personnel, artist agents, and
music publishers, this seminar will examine the future of pops and pops
Eileen Jeanette, vice president of artistic & orchestra operations, Pacific Symphony; Michael Krajewski, principal pops conductor at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Houston Symphony Orchestra and Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra; Lilly Schwartz, director of pops and special projects, Minnesota Orchestra
Faculty Bios
Date: Monday, June 6 (9:00AM-5:30PM)
Bold Leadership: Seizing Opportunity in Times of Change
A great orchestra without a great leader is hard to imagine. For
executive directors of today, it is not enough to have a passion for the
art form, balance your budget, and work effectively with others.
Intellectual discipline, visionary thinking, and a long-term strategy,
combined with savvy business skills, are requirements in a challenging
environment. An appetite for calculated risk and the ability to inspire
others to commit to a vision and plan make the difference between a good
leader and a great one.
This lively conversation with Deborah Borda, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Dr. Jack Silversin, an expert on organizational change and a major thought leader in the health-care arena, will explore the beliefs, attitudes, and skills necessary for bringing lasting and profound change to your organization, regardless of budget size and resources. Learn how to balance analysis with risk-taking and innovation; create and communicate a compelling future vision; effectively engage stakeholders in change; and get buy-in to decisions and plans.

Date: Tuesday, June 7 (8:00AM-12:30PM)
Making Smart Strategic Choices
In today's environment, effective leadership demands deciding what to do and, sometimes more importantly, what not to do. In this interactive, experiential session, you will be thrown immediately into the mix, solving strategic problems in simulated scenarios and drawing lessons from how you react under fire. You will then apply the lessons learned to real strategic choices you currently face. Participants will come away with a global overview of what strategy includes. You will learn:
- Two views on what strategy means and what it includes.
- Two views on how strategy relates to the broader set of questions you need to answer in guiding your organization (mission, goals/objectives, strategy, resource allocation decisions).
- Two approaches for analyzing your environment to inform your strategic choices.
Jamey Stowell ( bio), associate, National Arts Strategies
Presented by National Arts Strategies for the League of American Orchestras
Date: Tuesday, June 7 (8:00AM-12:30PM)
Developing Ensemble Programs for Children in Your Community
As music programs across the country are being cut, orchestras are often
being asked to support the music education of our children in new and
creative ways. This seminar will explore building partnerships within
your community to deepen the quality and impact of music education for
underserved students, with a particular focus on creating instrumental
ensemble programs.
Participants will learn how to design, implement, and assess high quality instrumental ensemble programs; connect with existing school and community music programs for greater impact; and develop community-wide coalitions of stakeholders who are committed to ensuring that every child has access to the experience of playing in an ensemble.
Gretchen Nielsen, director of educational initiatives, Los Angeles Philharmonic; Dalouge Smith, president & CEO, San Diego Youth Symphony & Conservatory
Date: Tuesday, June 7 (8:00AM-12:30PM)
The Role of the Board Chair
This timely and important seminar will focus on issues unique to the governance leadership role, and may be particularly helpful to new Board chairs. Participants will learn how the board chair and executive director can be true partners, and techniques for including your musicians in a collaborative governance model. The importance of continuity in leadership will also be addressed, sharing some of the best practices related to how long the board chair should serve and how to groom your successor. Topics covered include:
- Navigating the challenges of the continued economic recession
- Defining the board's critical role in risk management and in responding to financial challenges
- Engaging and empowering the board to focus on issues that really matter
- Developing and leading your institutional vision
- Board, staff, musician, and music director roles
Lowell Noteboom, board chair, League of American Orchestras and former board chair, The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra; Alan Valentine, president and CEO, Nashville Symphony
Date: Tuesday, June 7 (8:00AM-12:30PM)
Digital Strategies for Your Orchestra
No matter what your resources are, this seminar will ground you in the
basics for developing and implementing an effective digital strategy
during a period of rapid change in technology and consumer behavior.
You will learn how to plan and prioritize digital projects and develop
your own working 2-3 year roadmap, guiding you to develop robust and
successful initiatives.
Participants will learn how to integrate a digital media plan into your institutions; how other orchestras, and other nonprofit sectors, successfully navigate technology and digital tools; who the key players are in developing a digital strategy and how to address various perspectives about digital initiatives in your orchestra (among musicians, staff, and board); some of the common internal hurdles and misperceptions about digital initiatives; and strategies for implementation around staffing, accountability and metrics.

They do it (as far as I understood anyway) strictly by URL, so the site has
to be organized well for it to work. For example,
http://whoever.com/bunnies/ = category "Bunnies" and
http://whoever.com/goats/ = category "Goats" etc. Which is a good way that
minimizes HTML author labor, and would serve most needs as long as some
bonus features such as overlapping categories, exceptional subdirectories,
etc. were available.
Thanks to everyone who commented on the frames issue. It doesn't seem like
it'd be that hard to make it work for simple framesets, and I'd be happy
ignoring nested frames. But it may be that the JavaScript methods are the
way to go. I'll check them out.

Subject: BLACK IRISH & Native American Phenotypes
Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2005 18:24:46 EDT
Dear Ramona & Laurie (& list),
Ramona... being a Genetics major, you ought to be able to explain how
DNA is used to trace ancestry a lot better than I did!
Laurie... the Anthropology teacher I spoke of earlier said that my
"Mongolian eyelids" (lid has an extra fold) AND "shovel-shaped incisors" are
commonly found in people of Irish and German extract due to the Mongolian
hoards invading & interbreeding with Europeans. So these, and some of the other
traits you listed, aren't found strictly in Native American people. In fact,
this teacher never even asked me if I had any Native American blood.
I also have some of the other traits you list. I grew up hearing that a
longer 2nd toe means one is descended from royalty! I also have "a wider
space between the big toe and second one" and a slightly "crooked pinky finger."
My mother had type 2 Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, and Thyroid problems.
Here's my mom's geneology:
Maternal grandfather = Scot-Irish (Magee)
Maternal grandmother = pure Irish (Lally). This is the branch I'm
researching now.
Paternal grandfather = pure German (Mock)
Paternal grandmother = we assume English (Martin), although I discovered in
my recent research on Ireland that there's a Martin Clan there too.
JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT, there WAS a slight suspicion that this Martin
gal, named Rebecca, had some Native American blood. I found Rebecca's parents
in the 1860 and 1870 census. They were Wilson and Lydia (or Lidian) Martin,
born in Maryland and Ohio, respectively. Then I hit a brickwall. My mom
remembers Rebecca taking her and the other grandchildren for walks in the Ohio
woods (about 1920) to gather berries. Rebecca, with her bare hands, would rip
out the poison ivy in the path so the kids wouldn't get into it. It never
bothered her. My mom attributed this to Rebecca's Indian blood (unsubstantiated).
She was one tough farm gal, I understand, and she did have a bit of an
Indian-look of the sharp-featured-high-bony-cheekbones-and large-nose variety. But
that's highly debatable.
ON THE OTHER HAND, regarding earlobes...
I have a good picture of Rebecca and she had small earlobes (like me). This
makes me think that she did NOT, in fact, have any Native American blood.
I also learned in Anthopology class that earlobe size is what's called a
"single factor trait" meaning it takes only one gene from one's father and one
gene from one's mother to determine whether one has big or small earlobes.
Single-factor traits (blood type is another one) is a good way to trace heredity.
Small earlobes are recessive, meaning both parents have to pass on that gene
for the child to get them. Big earlobes are dominant, meaning only one parent
has to pass on the gene.
I'm in Texas now, and my step-daughter married a man who is a registered
Cherokee Indian in Oklahoma. According to his Indian card, he is "1/128 degree
Indian blood." This fellow and his daughter, my step-granddaughter (registed as
"1/256 degree"), both "look Indian" with round faces, nearly-black hair, high
cheekbones, dark almond-shaped eyes, and a space between their (large) two
front teeth (corrected with braces in my granddaughter) that you mention. In
fact, when my granddaughter was born, my first thought was that she looked just
like a little papoose like I'd seen in pictures. At the same time, both she
and her father have fair skin. In fact, my step-granddaughter's pink-white
complexion is fairer than my own light-olive skin which, frankly, amazes me since
she's the registered Indian and I'm supposedly of pure white European stock.
This granddaughter, age 17, is at my house and I just now thoroughly examined
her, with much laughter all around especially when trying to find the bony
nodes under her tongue! (result: inconclusive). She has the shovel-shaped
incisors (like me). She does not, however, have the Mongolian eyelids (which I
have), a crooked pinky finger or inverted breastbone. Her second toe is longer
and there's a wider space between the big toe and the next one, but her
little toes don't "lie under the next one" (all the same as me).
And, finally, she and her father DO both have the large, fleshy earlobes.
There surely must be European groups that also have the big earlobes. I know
I've seen them on people...

Deception is defined as the intentional withholding of information or presentation of deliberately misleading information to a participant.
Some feel that deception is never acceptable, while others feel that deception may be necessary to maintain validity.
Deception may be considered if a researcher is concerned that a participant's behavior or responses may change if they are made aware of all details of the study. However, alternative procedures and designs should be considered and if no alternatives exist, you must justify your use of deception.
Deception may be through omission or commission.
If deception is used, participants must be debriefed as soon as possible.
Full disclosure means informing the participant of every aspect of the study including the purpose and nature of the study. If any information is left out during this process, deception has occurred.
All research projects that involve human participants should end with a debriefing. The debriefing serves several purposes. During debriefing, all aspects of the experiment should be explained to the participants, including any information that may have been omitted to protect the experimental hypothesis from reactivity. If active deception was employed in the research, this deception must be revealed during debriefing. Any negative effects produced by experimental procedures must be ameliorated during the debriefing.
Function of Debriefing
Debriefing serves several functions: education of participants, resolution of ethical issues that might be associated with the research project, data collection concerning research manipulations and procedures.
Debriefing serves the purpose of benefiting participants by educating them about the research process. One of the greatest benefits to most participants in psychological research is what they might learn about the conduct of scientific work in psychology.
Debriefing serves to ameliorate ethical
problems that might be created by the use of deception, either by omission
or commission, during the
research project. It is
even more critical that deception by commission be explained because these
types of deception might compromise the informed consent process. In this
case, the debriefing procedure must also include a dehoaxing and
desensitization to the deception. That is, the deception must be undone in
a credible way (e.g., if students were told that they had failed at an
academic task, they must be informed of the way in which this deception
was carried out, the reasons for it, and must be convinced that their
performance on this task was in no way a "failure," in spite of contrary
information provided during the procedures). Any anxiety or other negative
effects of the deception should be alleviated. Deceived participants
should be given an opportunity to withdraw their data from the experiment
(getting full consent for use of their data after the deception is undone
and the participant in now fully informed).
When should debriefing be held?
An immediate debriefing should be given as soon as participants complete their part of the experiment. This debriefing should be as complete as possible. However, not all information may be available for a complete debriefing at this time. For example, the participant's scored data might not be available at the time of the debriefing or other details of the findings might be unknown until all data have been collected and analyzed. In this case, participants should be given contact information so that they can obtain this information when it becomes available. Researchers should be able to immediately explain the purpose of the research and the research hypotheses, including the manipulations of variables that the participant experienced. However, explanations about how data will be used to evaluate hypotheses and explanations about how these findings fit into the larger research literature can be explained in an immediate debriefing. These explanations serve to educate the participant about the role of the research project in the larger scientific endeavor.
Deception by omission, also called passive deception, occurs when information is withheld from a participant.
Deception by commission, also called active deception, occurs when a participant is actively misled. This includes being given a false purpose, the use of confederates, or being given a placebo.

|You are in: UK: Northern Ireland

Marching to the beat of optimism
As decisions are made over the first controversial marches of the year in Northern Ireland, BBC News Online speaks to the head of the Parades Commission about his hopes for the summer and the long-standing dispute at Drumcree.
For most people, Easter is a sign that spring has taken hold and the warm prospect of summer is just around the corner.
But for Tony Holland, the holiday marks the start of a seasonal headache.
Tasked with heading the Parades Commission two years ago, he has the job of arbitrating on Northern Ireland's long list of contentious parades.
He believes the commission, formerly led by Sir Alistair Graham, has been successful in what it was created to do.
"That is to produce decisions which, while not always acceptable to both sides of the community, have at least been understood as representing a way forward," he says.
"I think in some areas, and I don't particularly want to name them - because you are almost creating a hostage to fortune in the future - there is no doubt the situation has improved.
"That may not always be down to the Parades Commission, it may be down to individuals within those areas, and more often that is the case than not."
The Parades Commission was set up in 1998 to make decisions on whether controversial parades should be restricted.
Mr Holland, whose background is in law, said he had noticed some residents' groups had realised there were members of the loyal orders who wanted to engage in dialogue.
"What has been a sticking point - and still is - is the reluctance of the Grand Lodge of the Orange Order to allow engagement by various LOLs (lodges) around the province.
"I think that is a great shame, because plainly the issue is engagement. The commission is obviously firm about this - it's part of the legislation and we have said from the start - as indeed did my predecessor - that engagement is the way forward."
He says the commission did more work during the winter than it had done in the summer.
"This is in terms of getting out and talking to people. We have had two very successful conferences, in the sense that we have involved both sides of the community in those conferences."
Mr Holland says the commission had optimism over parades in certain areas this summer, but in other areas there had been no engagement and even a withdrawal from engagement.
"Overall, I think that the situation will be no worse than last year, and hopefully might be better," he says.
"I believe that there are grounds for optimism in some areas. I think that one can be particularly optimistic when one looks at what happened in Derry."
The commission believes the accommodation reached there can be replicated in other contentious areas.
However, it is the Drumcree parade which is still the major sticking point.
Mr Holland says he does not feel the exit of South African lawyer Brian Currin, who was attempting to broker an agreement on the Drumcree parade, means there is no hope of an agreement over the dispute.
"Brian tried to his very best endeavours, and probably went beyond those, to find a solution. Obviously it was not to be," he says.
"I believe a solution to Drumcree is not an impossibility. I think there are ways forward. It is not for me at this stage to say how I see those ways forward.
"But I do believe that people do realise that remaining on the hill indefinitely is not good, either for Portadown, or for Northern Ireland generally."
Political deadlock
In November last year, Sir George Quigley was appointed by Northern Ireland Secretary John Reid to head a review of the commission.
The review was promised by the government as part of a blueprint to break the political deadlock at the Weston Park negotiations in July.
Mr Holland says there are areas in the legislation which people are unhappy about.
"Whether or not the commission remains in its present form or not is a matter for the government and for Sir George Quigley," he says.
"The basic thrust and structure of the commission works fairly well. Plainly it will develop - nothing is written in tablets of stone - and indeed the commission may well evolve into something else in the future."

The Bentonville, Ark.-based discount chain has submitted plans to build a 150,000 square-foot store on the city's West Side in 2005. If approved by city officials, the move would leave Detroit and the five boroughs that comprise New York City as the only top-10 urban markets without a Wal-Mart.
The continuing entry into urban communities marks a change in philosophy for Wal-Mart, which for decades concentrated on suburban and rural communities that company officials deemed underserved.
Now, after of decades of urban flight, the underserved communities are in the big cities.
"As the customer base grows, it is hard to ignore that people in urban areas would like to see the same consumer choices as the suburbs," said John Bisio, Wal-Mart's Midwest regional manager for community affairs.
Wal-Mart officials said they have been looking at Chicago for a while, searching for space that would accommodate the store's size. They chose a site in a community where blacks and Hispanics collectively are roughly half of the population.
Wal-Mart's urban strategy also brings it into the backyard of Sears Roebuck, and the nation's fifth-largest retailer said it's ready for the challenge.
"This is a competitive business and we welcome the competition," Sears spokesman Chris Brathwaite said. "We think we do better."
Unions are voicing opposition to a Wal-Mart presence in Chicago.
"Given its long record of paying its employees low wages and few benefits, Wal-Mart's entry into the Chicago retail market will give it an unfair advantage over union retailers who pay their employees good wages and benefits," said Ron Powell, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 881.
Wal-Mart officials said the Chicago store would create nearly 250 jobs, 70% full time, and provide benefits for all employees who qualify. But UFCW Locals 881 and 1546 argue that more than half of the retailer's employees are unable to afford or qualify for the company's health insurance plan.

Avalanche danger low, wet slides still a threat
April 9, 2012
With the warm, sunny weather in Colorado's High Country comes a lower risk of avalanche danger, but we're not in the clear yet.
"Deep persistent slabs remain a concern on high elevation shady slopes and some wet activity is possible by late in the day," the latest report for the Vail and Summit County zone reads.
Low overnight temperatures and cool daytime air with moderate winds minimizes the threat of wet avalanches, though there are some pockets of danger, primarily on steep, shady slopes near and above treeline. The cool nighttime temperatures refreezes the snowpack overnight. Meanwhile, daytime temperatures are "unseasonably warm," making wet avalanche activity the main concern.
Danger is low in the zone on all aspects and elevations, though officials say to "watch for wet, unstable snow if the snowpack warms more than expected."
"Each night the surface snow freezes, but during the day, the surface crust begins to melt and the danger from wet avalanches increases," officials with the Colorado Avalanche Information Center say. "As daytime temperatures rise, wet-loose avalanches will initiate around thin snow and rocky areas. They usually start small, but get larger as they move down the slope. The debris is thick and heavy, and once you're caught in the flow it can be very hard to get out. These wet, slough avalanches can be dangerous if they push you off of a cliff or into a tree or gully. Watch for roller balls and small, loose avalanches. If you see these signs or you're sinking into wet snow more than 6 or 8 inches, it is time to get off of and out from under steep, sun-exposed slopes."
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center has switched to spring operations, in which weather forecasts will be issued twice a day through April 30.
Statewide avalanche statements will be released three times weekly on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays by 5 p.m., likely continuing through the end of April. If conditions warrant, those statewide statements will continue into early May. If conditions change radically for the worse, special statements, avalanche watches and warnings will be issued.
The center still accepts condition observations through its website at http://avalanche.state.co.us.
Current weather forecasts call for some moisture to come through the state by mid-week, but largely missing the Vail and Summit County zone. Another low-pressure system is expected to come through the state late in the week, bringing slightly cooler temperatures but no moisture.

Her third studio album, 'Storm and Grace', will be released in May and promoted with a live performance on 'American Idol'.
Lisa Marie Presley announced that her first album in five years would be released on May 15 via Universal Republic/XIX Recordings. Produced by T Bone Burnett, "Storm and Grace" was recorded at The Village Studios in Los Angeles after Lisa got the inspiration from a trip to England.
Lisa, Elvis Presley's only daughter, goes back to her "southern roots" on this album. "Nothing was planned or contrived in any way and out of it came a very organic record that was always inside of me and that I am incredibly proud of," she said in a statement. "It was a dream come true and such an honor when T Bone liked the songs and produced and played on the record."
T Bone added, "I was curious. I wondered what the daughter of an American revolutionary music artist had to say. What I heard was honest, raw, unaffected and soulful. I thought her father would be proud of her. The more I listened to the songs, the deeper an artist I found her to be. Listening beyond the media static, Lisa Marie Presley is a Southern American folk music artist of great value."
Lisa has been scheduled to promote the album on "American Idol" with a performance in a May episode.

Man Arrested for Scaling the Brooklyn Bridge
There's been another security breach at the Brooklyn Bridge.
Police arrested a 24 year old man after he climbed a suspension beam of the bridge yesterday afternoon.
Yaroslav Kolchin got past security before he was finally noticed around 12:30 p.m.
He's been charged with reckless endangerment, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.
This comes after two German men were able to get past security and replace two American flags with white ones. Last week the American flags were returned to U.S. soil.
Earlier this month, a banner was also displayed on the Manhattan Bridge.

Hi Chad,
Syslog files are free form text beyond the first three fields, or five
in the case of remote logging. Everything else is defined and formatted
by the application that sends those entries. Take this line for example:
Mar 29 05:05:42 172.16.0.10 ipmon[91]: 05:05:42.226506 ex0 @0:17 b
188.8.131.52,6000 -> 184.108.40.206,2967 PR tcp len 20 40 -S IN
The first section, "Mar 29 05:05:42 172.16.0.10 ipmon[91]: ", shows the
server time stamp, firewall IP address, process name, user and level.
This portion is dictated by syslog conventions.
The next field appears to be the local time stamp from m0n0wall and the
second line starts off with the source IP and port followed by the
destination IP and port.
But what is the rest of that entry and what other values might I see in
each of these fields?
"ex0 @0:17 b" = ??
"PR tcp len 20 40 -S IN" = ??
My initial plan is to select only lines with "ipmon[91]:" saving only
the month and day from that portion. Then I want to parse the rest to
determine what addresses are attacking my firewall, how often they hit
it and what ports they are trying to access. I also want to find out how
long after I shut down ktorrent before I stopped getting hits on those
I'll take a look at webalizer, but I don't see anything about m0n0wall
in its list of known formats. Neither do any of the other log analyzers
I have looked at.

Letter to AT&T Customers
Dallas, Texas, October 31, 2012
Dear AT&T Customers:
Our deepest concerns and thoughts are with the victims of Hurricane Sandy as we begin to see the full devastation of this unprecedented storm.
Our disaster response team at AT&T has been fully engaged and working around the clock to ensure the flow of wireless and wireline services in the affected areas.
In recognition of these extraordinary times, AT&T will assist impacted customers by extending the late-payment window for customers who are behind, waiving late payment fees, and not disconnecting services because of non-payment.
In advance of the storm, AT&T staged emergency response equipment in strategic locations to help combat disruptions in service and ensure a fast recovery. While these efforts have helped us restore service to the vast majority of our cell sites in the Northeast, we are still working through some issues in the most heavily impacted areas. We appreciate your patience as we work to gain access to some facilities, repair damages and restore service to its full capacity.
Our thoughts are with the millions who have been touched by this storm. We'll continue to work around-the-clock and do all we can to restore service for our customers as quickly as possible.
Steven Hodges
Regional President—Northeast

Los Alamos NM (SPX) Aug 01, 2014
NASA has announced that laser technology originally developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory has been selected for its new Mars mission in 2020.
"We are extremely excited to be going to Mars again," said Los Alamos National Laboratory planetary scientist Roger Wiens, Principal Investigator of the newly selected SuperCam team and current principal investigator of the Curiosity Rover's ChemCam Team.
"More importantly for the mission, I know SuperCam is the very best remote sensor that NASA can have aboard."
SuperCam builds upon the successful capabilities demonstrated aboard the Curiosity Rover during NASA's current Mars Mission. SuperCam will allow researchers to sample rocks and other targets from a distance using a laser.
In addition to harnessing Los-Alamos developed Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technology-which can determine the elemental composition of the target from more than 20 feet away-SuperCam adds another spectrum to its laser for Raman and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy: A technique partially refined at Los Alamos and the University of Hawaii that provides the molecular makeup of a target, therefore allowing geologists to determine mineralogy and search for organic materials.
The enhancements provided by these two institutions include the successful demonstration of performing these measurements at long distances and in miniaturization of the instrumentation.
SuperCam also will add color to its high-resolution visible imaging capability as well as visible and infrared spectroscopy. The updates make SuperCam the perfect instrument to provide fine-scale mineralogy, chemistry, organic detection, and color images, with the added bonus of being able to dust off a surface via laser blasts.
The new instrument will occupy a similar volume on the upcoming rover as the ChemCam instrument does aboard Curiosity and will weigh nearly the same as well.
In addition, Los Alamos will build the detector electronics for the Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals (SHERLOC) instrument.
SHERLOC is a spectrometer that will provide fine-scale imaging and use an ultraviolet (UV) laser to determine fine-scale mineralogy and detect organic compounds. SHERLOC will be the first UV Raman spectrometer to fly to the surface of Mars and will provide complementary measurements with other instruments in the payload.
Tony Nelson of Los Alamos's Space Electronics and Signal Processing Group will lead the efforts in constructing the electronics. Los Alamos laser scientists Sam Clegg of Los Alamos's Physical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy Group and Wiens are part of the SHERLOC instrument science team.
SuperCam is a continuing effort between Los Alamos and the IRAP research institution in Toulouse France, and the French Space Agency (CNES), with additional collaboration from the University of Hawaii and the University of Valladolid (UVA) in Spain.
According to NASA, agency managers made the instrument selections for the upcoming mission out of 58 proposals received in January from researchers and engineers worldwide. Proposals received were twice the usual number submitted for instrument competitions in the recent past.
The Mars 2020 mission will be based on the design of the highly successful Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, which landed almost two years ago, and currently is operating on Mars.
The new rover will carry more sophisticated, upgraded hardware and new instruments to conduct geological assessments of the rover's landing site, determine the potential habitability of the environment, and directly search for signs of ancient Martian life.
Scientists will use the Mars 2020 rover to identify and select a collection of rock and soil samples that will be stored for potential return to Earth by a future mission. The Mars 2020 mission is responsive to the science objectives recommended by the National Research Council's 2011 Planetary Science Decadal Survey.
The Mars 2020 rover also will help advance knowledge of how future human explorers could use natural resources available on the surface of the Red Planet. An ability to live off the Martian land would transform future exploration of the planet.
Designers of future human expeditions can use this mission to understand the hazards posed by Martian dust and demonstrate technology to process carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce oxygen. These experiments will help engineers learn how to use Martian resources to produce oxygen for human respiration and potentially oxidizer for rocket fuel.

If you're an independent contractor in the UK – whether seasoned or new to the game – you might find the thought of self promotion or marketing a little daunting. It needn't be! Here are 5 fairly simple ways to promote yourself and your business. Each requires a fair amount of input on your part, but the payoff in each instance far outweighs the work. You may even have mastered a few of these steps already.
Have a killer CV
Have a team on your side (even if you're a lone ranger)
Brand your life
Become famous online
Walk the talk
Does your CV look like every other CV on the planet, or does it look and feel more like the brochure of a successful business? Even if you are for instance an IT contractor and go simply by your own name, your CV represents you and should stand out and do a great job of promoting you and all the wonderful things you have to offer a prospective client! Imagine if all company brochures were in black and white, the same size, the same font? First make sure the text is the best it can be. Don't be afraid to use a professional CV Assist company like 1st Contact CV Assist. Ideas: have a graphic designer do your CV as a full colour pdf; print your CV on recycled paper, a matchbook or something related to your industry… Do whatever it takes to stand out and be remembered!
Even if you're an independent contractor working alone, there are many people who – if you get the relationship right – can help you tremendously along the way and make your life much easier. For instance: sign up to the right agencies and have the top people looking for positions for you; choose an Umbrella Company with personal service and a proven track record; find an accountancy firm you actually enjoy dealing with; follow the best bloggers and tweeters in your industry; network with industry leaders and get them on your side. Send each and every client a personally signed birthday card. Treat people well and they will look out for you too. And that attitude will lead to many other benefits – discounts, collaborations, introductions… Most importantly when seeking out your team of supporters, remember to only align yourself with people who share your values.
The time for being shy is over! If you want to make a huge success of your contracting life, you need to step into the light and "own it". You need to be a BRAND, not just a person! Get yourself a professional logo; advertise your accomplishments; send out weekly or monthly newsletters; get vinyl stickers for your car and unashamedly promote your services (make sure your contact details are highly visible); brand your blog or website with your logo; put your logo or your face on mugs and give them to your clients as corporate gifts! Start a fanpage on Facebook; brand your twitter account; have t-shirts printed – and anything else you can think of. There are many inexpensive ways to get your brand noticed!
There's no doubt about it – you cannot afford to NOT be online in today's techno times. The internet increases your networking potential a thousand times over and if you're not already using the web to promote yourself, you really should be.
Here's how it works: First read, read and read some more! Spend a few weeks finding the most interesting, up-to-date, award-winning and clever blogs, articles, news sites and e-books and read them all! You will then have a good idea of what the landscape is like. Now ask yourself: How can I BEST promote myself in this arena? A blog is an obvious choice, especially (but not only) if you are comfortable writing. If you are a not-too-shabby writer, you can also submit articles to various content-driven websites, and even be paid in some instances. You could build up a massive following in a year or two if you generate enough quality content. And then you could even look at writing e-books in your area of expertise!
If you are not a great writer and/or don't have a lot of time – you can still find fame on the world wide web. For instance, your blog could be more image-driven. Or you could upload your own instructional videos or voice recordings. Or you could simply find and then re-post other peoples' fantastic content (with credit and links of course). The truth is – anyone can blog successfully if they are generating (or merely hosting) quality content (interesting, entertaining or informative) on a regular basis. You can participate in forum discussions, join online groups, tweet, facebook and blog like a pro, even if your grammar and spelling is not that great. And when you achieve a little web-fame, more people will want to work with you, because you are now considered an expert in your field.
And finally, what good is all this strutting and branding and blogging, if you are in fact, not an expert in your field?
So how can you ensure that you are walking the talk? Start off by brushing up your skills – with courses, online courses, books, e-books, articles, training and anything else you can find that will enhance your image, skill-set and knowledge base. Dress the part; network like a pro. Always do your best. And remember that what you do next and the way you do it, will have a direct influence on what happens after that – where you are in say 5 or 10 years.
Why simply be a contractor, when you can be a reputable, sought after and highly successful contractor instead?

Russell Simmons has teamed up with designer Joseph Abboud to relaunch his Argyleculture menswear collection this fall. The line, which will target the "urban graduate," has already seen two previous failed partnerships since it launched in 2008.
"Finding the right match is tough," Simmons told WWD. "Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't. But this is Joseph Abboud."
The clothes are preppy, but edgy and sophisticated with argyles, plaids and strong colors present through the sportswear line.
"This is like preppy on steroids," Abboud told WWD of the collection. "There are a lot of preppy brands out there and no one does traditional preppy better than Ralph Lauren. But this is more irreverent. The colors are bright and the styling is aggressive. Traditional preppy has rigid boundaries and this pushes the envelope."

In four years, we will take about Internet traffic in zettabytes.
What's a zettabyte? It's one trillion gigabytes, and by 2016, global Internet traffic will reach 1.3 zettabytes, says a study by Cisco.
Broken down monthly, Web traffic around the world will make a fourfold jump compared to 2011, according to Cisco's findings.
Cisco predicts more than 18.9 billion connected devices will be available in 2016, an average of 2.5 connections per person.
Along with more devices, there will be more people around the globe hopping on to the Internet. Cisco expects 3.4 billion Internet users in four years, equivalent to 45% of the world population.
Among other findings:
-- Wireless Internet connections will slowly take over wired links. More than half of all global traffic is expected to come from Wi-Fi.
-- More than 1.2 million video minutes will travel the Web every second. To put it in perspective, that's equal to 833 days.
-- Mobile Internet traffic will surge in the next four years. Cisco finds it will increase 18 times by 2016, to 10.8 exabytes (one exabyte is equal to 1 billion gigabytes).

Hi everyone! Today, on a popular site that provides graphic resources, I found out that they are selling a flyer template very (very very) similar to one of mine. You can check the comparation on my facebook page. What should I do in this case?
Thanks mates
Its not far off your design, but its more the style than the design, in experience from these kind of matters, there is nothing you can do as nothing is the actual same.
This person probably took your design as inspiration, which lets face it, on here allot of designs look the same which means allot of people on here take inspiration from others also.
It does look similar. Contact them.
EDIT : 1000th post
DMCA that dirty thief hahahaha!
Honestly, I don't know what you can do about this.
However, if this person that has produced a similar flyer and has used your work as inspiration, you should be flatterd. It shows that they. Slice your work is nice and worth imitating.
DMCA Dose Guys AsaP!
I don't know if I will Dmca them.. At least until the answer me! We'll see

Welcome to the weekly Packaging South Asia newsletter!
From our several visits to drupa previews we have gathered that this event is going to be an important event for both the global and the Indian packaging industry. Fujifilm announced at the preview last month that it will be demonstrating its inkjet carton press at drupa 2012. And both Gallus and Omet who are known for their label presses will be showing narrow web one-pass carton presses at drupa 2012. In fact there is an open house at Pragati Pack on 20 April 2012 in Hyderabad where their new Omet press for printing and converting cartons will be shown. Even Goss which normally talks about its newspaper and commercial presses at drupa, will show an innovative development of their Sunday press for packaging. And one should not forget that Goss owner Shanghai Electric has a strong product line of autoplaten die-cutters and folder-gluers.
The Indian exhibitors at drupa are also more focussed on packaging right from the UV curing specialist APL Machinery, to Proteck, which will show a more developed and complete offering of its Metamation software than it showed in the Innovation Park last time with several add-ons for packaging prepress. Kohli Industries will be promoting its gravure presses and Shilp Gravure will not only be selling its special application engraved cylinders but also further developing its technology partnerships to strengthen the packaging industry in the region.
The drupa organisers have very generously given our research company IppStar a slot on 9 May 2012 to present some of our findings and forecasts about the Indian print, publishing and packaging vertical. We expect a good turnout of CEOs, senior executives, strategists and analysts at this event from companies that are looking for deep domain primary research, insights and forecasts that point to some of the challenges and opportunities for our fast growing industry. At drupa 2012 you can meet us at Hall 9 A39. See you there!
