Moises Kaufman to Direct Daniel Beaty's THE TALLEST TREE Premiere at La Jolla Playhouse, 10/9-11/3
La Jolla Playhouse announces a fifth production for its 2013/14 season: the world premiere of The Tallest Tree, a new play with music written and performed by Daniel Beaty (Emergency, Through the Night), directed by Moisés Kaufman (I Am My Own Wife, The Laramie Project). A co-production with Kansas City Repertory Theatre, The Tallest Tree will run in The Playhouse's Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre October 9 - November 3, 2013. The piece is produced in association with Tectonic Theater Project.
As an internationally-renowned vocalist and star of stage and screen, Paul Robeson was one of the best known African American artists in the world in the early 20th century. Through his singing and acting talent, he became enormously popular and wealthy; but as a champion for human rights, he became despised by his people and his country. Featuring excerpts from some of Robeson's signature songs, including "Ol' Man River" and "Steal Away," The Tallest Tree showcases award-winning playwright and performer Daniel Beaty in a stunning piece that explores the bold choices that defined Robeson's remarkable life.
"Daniel Beaty is a powerhouse of a performer and a supremely talented writer," said Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley. "In Paul Robeson, an iconic figure who was as galvanizing as he was polarizing, Daniel has found the perfect subject to inhabit, and I can't think of a better director than Playhouse favorite Moisés Kaufman to helm this probing piece about the power and responsibility of a great artist."
As previously announced, La Jolla Playhouse's 2013/2014 season will also include His Girl Friday (Mandell Weiss Theatre: May 28 - June 30), adapted by John Guare from the Ben Hecht/Charles MacArthur play The Front Page and the Howard Hawks film His Girl Friday, with screenplay by Charles Lederer, produced by Columbia Pictures, directed by Christopher Ashley; Tribes (Mandell Weiss Forum: June 25 - July 21), by Nina Raine, directed by David Cromer; Sideways (Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre: July 16 - August 18), by Rex Pickett, directed by Des McAnuff; and a re-imagined production of the Tony Award-nominated musical Side Show (Mandell Weiss Theatre: November 5 - December 15), music by Henry Krieger, book and lyrics by Bill Russell and directed by Academy Award-winner Bill Condon, produced in association with The Kennedy Center. The final 2013/2014 season production will be announced at a later date.
Tickets to the 2013/2014 season are available only through a subscription purchase by calling the Patron Services Office at (858) 550-1010 or online at LaJollaPlayhouse.org.

FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. - Flagler County deputies arrested a fugitive after a four-hour standoff Thursday night.
Deputies were dispatched to the home in the 200 block of County Road 330 East in the southern part of the county about 9:40 p.m. after the Sheriff's Office received a 911 call where the caller hung up without talking with dispatchers.
Dispatchers notified deputies that 35-year-old William Sitton, a resident of the home, had an outstanding warrant for felony violation of probation for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
When deputies arrived, they announced themselves and saw Sitton, who had been sitting at a kitchen table, run to the back of the home. As deputies entered the home, they found live ammunition lying on the floor along with pieces of a gun.
Deputies called for Sitton to come out of his room. He began taunting deputies to "come inside and get me," deputies said.
Deputies who were positioned outside the bedroom window saw the man with a knife inside a bedroom, deputies said. They said he appeared to be cutting himself.
As deputies talked with him from outside the home, Sitton moved to a bedroom where he warned deputies he had a firearm and would use it if they entered, deputies said.
While the deputies on the scene continued to talk with Sitton, other deputies escorted his brother safely from the home. The brother told deputies he had called 911 by accident.
Additional deputies and a K-9 unit then surrounded the house and saw Sitton inside the bedroom. He was lying on the floor with a heavy blanket covering his entire body. Deputies then ordered him to exit the house, but he refused, they said.
Deputies said he made several references to satan while gesturing with his hand as if to shoot himself. The Sheriff's Office has been called to the Sitton home 84 times since 2008 for various complaints and deputies were aware that Sitton had a long history of suicide attempts, weapons complaints and involvement with narcotics.
A decision was made to enter the home as deputies continued their attempts to have him surrender. Sitton responded that he would not surrender nor take off the blanket, deputies said.
At that point, they said, he stood up and moved to an adjoining bathroom. As he did, deputies entered through a bedroom room and fired four bean bag rounds, striking Sitton in his back and lower thigh area. Deputies said they were then able to shoot pepper spray into the man's face and handcuff him inside the bedroom.
"This was a dangerous situation which was skillfully defused by the deputies who were on scene. The house already was known to us as being problematic," said Flagler County Sheriff James Manfre. "We are fortunate that these deputies were able to make this arrest using a non-lethal method."
Sitton was being held in the Flagler County Detention Facility without bail on the warrant and $1,000 bond on a charge of resisting arrest without violence.

I'm guessing we will see a new head coach. Probably will be Zim since Mikey is paying him all of that money anyway. A new voice is probably necessary, plus Mikey won't want Marvin to coach the Bengals longer than Paul did.
Wow, there's a great chance that today may, for all intensive purposes, end Cincinnati sports until Opening Day next season.
Atleast I still have the Capitals to root for.
An epic collapse against the Buccaneers at home sure doesn't bode well for when we play the good teams.

What happened to Carson Palmer?
I hope it's never sunny in Philly again.
How is it that the only person in the world who doesn't see that Palmer is cooked is Bob Bratkowski? The man is an NFL coordinator. Pee-wee coaches know to ride the running game when the QB is not very good. With Palmer's fall, the Bengals gameplan every week should be 70% run, 30% pass.

I still don't understand though. With all the talent he had, an injury is not going to just take that away. What is he doing so wrong that he can't seem to fix?
I hope it's never sunny in Philly again.
Watch how he constantly gets baited and fooled by defenses now. At least 3-4 times a game a DB will successfully bait him into making a stupid throw/decision.
Someone please re-post the Mel Kiper report on CP coming out of USC.
I don't think it's Carson's decision-making that's the problem. I just think his arm strength, whatever it was to begin with, hasn't been the same since his injuries. Throws he was able to make a few years ago haven't gotten to his target as quickly as it once did, and that's allowed defensive backs to make a move on balls that otherwise would have gotten to the receiver faster. That's what it seems like to me.

I'm hearing rumours of an even never "dual" type card called 8850gx2.
Anandtech can you reveal any news on this?
at80eighty - Wednesday, November 22, 2006 - linkAnnual Computernerd Wanfest of 2006 just rolled into town (im a wanking nerd btw :-p)
what i saw in the papers was an ad for an XFX 8800 GTX. but this article doesnt mention it's existence (or i missed it)
or did you pick he GTS as it was a better deal than the GTX? Reply
Modular - Saturday, November 18, 2006 - linkI was just wondering why there are no charts showing the core temps when the cards were overclocked. I'd be interested to see how much more heat these things crank out @ faster speeds. I also heard that they no longet throttle the GPU core when in 2D mode. That seems silly to me as it probably is a huge reason for the high idle power draw as well as the high idle core temps... Reply
dpante1s - Wednesday, November 22, 2006 - linkWould be very interesting to see a roundup just for the 8800 GTS cards as I think that many users may only afford to buy this one but would like to know which one of those is the best for overclocking... Reply
crystal clear - Tuesday, November 14, 2006 - linkMore GeForce G80 Series Revealed
Published on November 13th, 2006
AnnonymousCoward - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkI believe your overclocking results are horribly flawed and misleading. The max core clock varies with each semiconductor part, so you can't just take 8 cards from different companies and determine which company overclocks the best! They all got different G80 dies.
Now, cooling could affect the overclock amount. But based on the cooling results, there's no correlation. Look at Sparkle's poor overclock versus its great cooling, as well as EVGA's and MSI's great overclocking versus heat. No correlation.
At least Page 5 said "Whether the overclocks we reached are due to variability in cores or..." But Page 8 showed more misunderstanding with "The temperature levels of this card under load are even lower than the XFX 8800 GTS by over ten degrees. This is somewhat perplexing considering that our Sparkle Calibre 8800 GTX sample didn't overclock very well compared to the other 8800 GTXs."
The conclusion should have been "8800GTX's overclock between 627-659MHz", and don't bold the one in the table from the company that happened to get the best die. Reply
shamgar03 - Wednesday, November 15, 2006 - linkI concur, unless the author can present more evidence? Reply
cryptonomicon - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkThey're valueable to me :(
Would love if they every got included on vid card roundups like these... Reply
shank15217 - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkthe new nvidia cards are doing great but just take a look at the older 7 series and compare it to the ATI offering. ATI 1950XTX hands the geforce 7 series its butt. I have a strange feeling the R600 will give Nvidia a run for its money. Reply
xsilver - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linki found it interesting that on one of your graphs that the overclocked GTS is able to noticibly beat the GTX
would it be possible at a more sane 1600x1200 resolution? Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkIt appears Oblivion isn't fully able to use all the SPs at present. The stock 8800 GTX should still have about 17% more potential core performance, although maybe not? If the SPs run at 1.35 GHz, what runs at 575 MHz? Or in the case of the OC'ed GTS, at 654 MHz? It could be they have a similar number of ROPs or some other logic that somehow makes the core clock more important in some cases. Or it could just be that the drivers need more optimizations to make the GTX outperform the GTS in all games. Obviously Oblivion isn't GPU bandwidth limited; beyond that, more testing will need to be done. Reply
dcalfine - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkWhat about the Liquid-cooled BFG 8800GTX?
Any news on that? I'd be interested in seeing how it compared in speed, overclockablility, temperature and power consumption.
Keep up the good work though! Reply
shamgar03 - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkI ordered one, hopefully it will do well in the over clocking section. I am a bit concerned with the differences in over clocking the cards from different manufacturers. Does anyone know the cause of that? I mean if two cards are the exact same as the reference except for the sticker you have to wonder if there is a bit of a variance in quality of semiconductor production. Maybe favorite distributors get the better cores? Any thoughts on what causes these differences? Reply
yyrkoon - Monday, November 13, 2006 - link
If you can't find the EVGA card, then pretty much any of the reference designs will work, and although Sparkle gets extra points for trying something different with its peltier cooler the implementation just didn't work out.
I assume this text about the sparkle card is in refference to it's in-ability to overclock ? In my opinion, I would rather use this card, or another card that ran equaly (or better), and remained as cool (or cooler). I dont know about you guys, or anyone else, but the though of a Graphics card approaching 90C (@ load, barring the sparkle) scares the crap out of me, and if this is a sign of things to come, then I'm not sure what my future options are. Lets not forget about 300WATTS + under load . . .
Just as the heat / power consumption is an issue (once again, in my opinion), equally disturbing, is the brass it takes to charge $650 usd, for a first generation, card, that obviously needs alot of work. Yes, it would be nice to own such a card, for pumping out graphics better than anything previous, however, I personally would rather pay $650 for something that ran a lot cooler, and offered just as much performance, or better.
Now, to the guy talking about Vista RC2 drivers from nVidia . . . Do you really expect someone to keep up on drivers, for a "product" that is basicly doomed to die a quiet death ? "RC2" . . . Release candadite . . . as far as I'm aware, the last I checked, alot of the graphics features (of Vista) in these betas were not even implemented. This means, that quite possibly, the drivers between RC2, and release could be a good bit different. Personally, I'd rather have nVidia work on the finished product drivers, VS. the release candadite drivers any day of the week. Aside from yourself, I hardly think anyone cares if you want to run RC2 until May 2007 (legally). Reply
Griswold - Thursday, November 23, 2006 - linkI fail to see your issue with temperatures. These cards were designed to run safely at these temperatures. Just because the figures are higher than you have come used to over the years, doesnt mean its bad. Reply
RMSistight - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkHow come the Quad SLI setup was not included on the tests? Quad SLI owners want to know. Reply

How come the Quad SLI setup was not included on the tests? Quad SLI owners want to know.
LOL. You really want to see how bad a $1200 setup will get spanked by a single card that costs half as much? You must be a masochist. Reply
penga - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkHey, iam always interested in the most exact wattage number a card uses and i find it hard to do the maths from the given total system power consumption and conclude how much only the card eats. So my idea was why not use a mainboard with integrated graphics card and compare the numbers? hope u get the idea. what u think, wouldnt that work? Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkThe only way to do this would be to place extremely low resistance (but high current) shunt resistors in the power lines AND build a PCIe riser card to measure the power supplied by the motherboard while the system is running at load.
There isn't a really good way to report the power of just the card any other way -- using an onboard graphics card wouldn't do it because the rest of the system would be using a different ammount of power as well (different cards require the system to do different types of work -- a higher powered graphics card will cause the CPU, memory, and chipset to all work harder and draw more power than a lower performance card). Reply
yyrkoon - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkDerek, I think he was asking: "why not use an integrated graphics motherboard, as a refference system, for power consumption tests".
However, it should be obvious, that this wouldnt be a good idea from a game benchmark perspective, in that, it's been my experience that integrated graphics mainboards dont normally perform as well, and often use dated technology / components. Although I havent really paid that much attention to detail, I would assume you guys use the "best" motherboard, for gaming benchmarks, and probably use the same mainboard for the rest of your tests. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkDerek already addressed the major problem with measuring GPU power draw on its own. However, given similar performance we can say that the cards are the primary difference in the power testing, so you get GTX cards using 1-6w more power at idle, and the Calibre uses up to 15W more. At load, the power differences cover a 10W spread, with the Calibre using up to 24W more.
If we were to compare idle power with IGP and an 8800 card, we could reasonably compare how much power the card requires at idle. However, doing so at full load is impossible without some customized hardware, and such a measurement isn't really all that meaningful anyway if the card is going to make the rest of the system draw more power anyway. To that end, we feel the system power draw numbers are about the most useful representation of power requirements. If all other components are kept constant on a testbed, the power differences we should should stay consistent as well. How much less power would an E6400 with one of these cards require? Probably somewhere in the range of 10-15W at most be likely. Reply
IKeelU - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkNice roundup. One comment about the first page, last paragraph:
"HDMI outputs are still not very common on PC graphics cards and thus HDCP is supported on each card."
Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but it sounds like you are saying that HDCP is present *instead* of HDMI. The two are independent of each other. HDMI is the electrical/physical interface, whereas HDCP is the type of DRM with which the information will be encrypted. Reply
Josh Venning - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkThe sentence has been reworked. We meant to say HDCP is supported through DVI on each card. Thanks. Reply
TigerFlash - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkDoes anyone know if the Evga WITH ACS3 is what is on retail right now? Evga's website seems to be the only place that distinguishes the difference. Everyone else is just selling an "8800 GTX."
Thanks. Reply
Josh Venning - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkThe ACS3 version of the EVGA 8800 GTX we had for this review is apparently not available yet anywhere, and we couldn't find any info on their website about it. Right now we are only seeing the reference design 8800 GTX for sale from EVGA, but the ACS3 should be out soon. The price for this part may be a bit higher, but our sample has the same clock speeds as the reference part. Reply
SithSolo1 - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkThey have two different heat sinks so I assume one could tell by looking at the product picture. I know a lot of sites use the product picture from the manfacture's site but I think they would use the one of the ASC3 if that's the one they had. I also assume they would charge a little more for it. Reply
imaheadcase - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkWould love to see how these cards performance in Vista, even RC2 would be great.
I know the graphics drivers for nivdia are terrible, i mean terrible, in vista atm but when they at least get a final out for 8800 a RC2 or a Vista final roundup vs winxp SP@ would be great :D Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkVista won't be that interesting until we see a DX10 driver from NVIDIA -- which we haven't yet and don't expect for a while. We'll certainly test it and see what happens though. Reply
imaheadcase - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkOh the current drivers for the 8800 beta do not support DX10? Is that the new detX drivers I read about Nvidia working on are for? Reply
peternelson - Saturday, November 25, 2006 - link
I'd be interested to know if the 8800 drivers even support SLI yet? The initial ones I heard of did not. Reply
yacoub - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkI was surprised the eVGA card too the lead since the MSI had a much higher memory clock. I guess these cards are nowhere near being fillrate limited, so the core clock boost is more important? I'm not sure if that's the right conclusion to make.
Also lol @ the 1950XTX's heinous noise and heat levels. ;)
The power consumption reduction from its die-shrink (right?) over the 1900XTX is nice though.
Very helpful article. Obvious conclusion: Stay away from the Caliber, lol. Reply
kalrith - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkOn page 5, it says that the Calibre "did get a core boost of 31MHz on the core clock". If the stock speed is 575 and the overclock is 631, shouldn't it be a boost of 56MHz?
Also, on page 5 the Calibre's memory overclock is listed as 1021MHz, and on page 6 it's lists as 914MHz. Reply
Josh Venning - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkThanks for pointing out the errors on page 5, they've been fixed.
Kyteland - Monday, November 13, 2006 - linkOn page 2: "First we have the (insert exact card name here) from BFG." Reply

At just 15-years old, PIH Right to Health Care patient Samantha Cadet underwent open-heart surgery at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital in Syracuse, New York. Partners In Health flew Samantha from Haiti in late January and accompanied her through the lifesaving process.
Samantha's story and the work of PIH and medical staff at Golisano Children's Hospital captured the attention of local TV news stations in Syracuse.
"She was a sickly child. She was a young girl and her mother took her to a Haitian doctor who said she had a life-threatening condition and said there's nothing you can do about it in Haiti," Owen Robinson of Partners in Health told WSYR-TV.
After four hours of extensive surgery and seven days of recovery, Samantha is on her way to visit friends at the Partners In Health Boston office, before heading home to Haiti.

HOUSTON - A freeze warning has been issued for several counties north of Houston.
The National Weather Service issued the warning for Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Houston, Madison, Montgomery, Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity, Walker and Washington counties from midnight to 8 a.m. Thursday.
Temperatures will likely dip below freezing in those areas between 3 and 5 a.m., according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures are expected to rise quickly in the morning.
We've been enjoying some very cool, fall weather this week. For everyone who loves a break from typical Houston warmth, it's been a real treat -- an opportunity to actually don a coat in the morning and snuggle into a nice, thick wool sweater by afternoon.
This weekend we start the transition to warmer and wetter weather that settles in early next week. The transition will be slow, though, so our weekend weather will likely end up being an extension of this week's fall feel. Temperatures may warm up a little bit on Sunday, but we will still enjoy seasonable temperatures in the 40s for morning lows and in the low 70s for afternoon highs.
On Saturday, the predominant northeast breeze that we've had all week will once again be with us. By Sunday, however, our wind will start to shift to more of an easterly, and eventually southeasterly, breeze. If you've lived in Houston for any length of time, you know what a southeasterly breeze means: Warmer and more humid weather ahead! Because the wind shift is so late in the weekend, though, we won't feel any significant change until Monday and Tuesday next week. That's when the dry, crispness of this week fades, mornings get warmer and muggier, and the sense that it might rain lingers in the air.
So, with the weather looking to be beautiful from start to finish this weekend, don't worry about your plans for outdoor projects around the house, the kids' football games, your morning run or bike, or, last but not least, Texans tailgating on Sunday. Whatever your plans are this weekend, if they entail being outdoors, you're in great shape! A morning jacket or sweater may be the only added layer you'll need.
Of course, keep up with all the latest updates to the short-term and 7-day forecasts at JustWeather.com -- any day, any time!

• clapperclaw •
Pronunciation: klæp-êr-klaw • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: 1. To claw or scratch with the nails, to fight tooth and nail. 2. To verbally abuse, to revile, vilify, vituperate, rail at.
Notes: Yep, it is a word and a real English one at that. Someone inclined to clapperclaw is a clapperclawer because he or she indulges in clapperclawing (the action noun). Clapperclawing also serves as an adjective describing clapperclawing individuals.
In Play: Today's Good Word must be legitimate, for Shakespeare himself used it several times: In The Merry Wives of Windsor (ii. Iii. 59) the host proclaims to Dr. Caius, who has just threatened to cut Sir Hugh's ears: "He will clapper-claw thee tightly, bully." Even today, it crops up in half-serious expressions like this: "Donny Brooke picked the wrong person to clapperclaw when he clapperclawed May Hemme; she gives such abuse better than she takes it."
Word History: Today's Good Word obviously began its life as a joke, but one that found a cozy home in the English lexicon. The word has been around since the 16th century and appears several times in the works of Shakespeare, including the one mentioned above. This word is a compound made up of clapper and claw. The term clapper is a joking reference to the hand since we clap with our hands. Claw is also a figurative reference to the nails. Where these two words come from is rather mysterious. We find traces of both in various other Germanic languages but nothing convincing outside Germanic. Clap may be onomatopoeic, but that explanation would not fit claw. (We would not like Leslie Nivens to clapperclaw us for omitting credit for the suggestion of today's Good Word, so thank you, Leslie. It is an amazing word.)

St. Maximos (a.d. 580-662) was a citizen of Constantinople and a high-ranking servant of the Emperor Heralius. Called by Christ, he left behind his worldly life and became a monk in Philippicus Monastery, and eventually was chosen its abbot. When Eutyches' Monophysite Heresy (that Christ had only one nature) later developed into the Monothelite Heresy (that Christ had only one will), both the Patriarch Sergius I of Constantinople and the Emperor Heralius supported it, with many falling into heresy.
St. Maximos stood strongly against this political compromise to try to win back those who had separated themselves from the Orthodox Faith by earlier rejecting the teachings at the Fourth Ecumenical Council. He went to Rome after defending the Orthodox doctrine with Pope Martin I at the Lateran Council. They were both sent as prisoners to Constantinople, where St. Maximos was wrongly condemned as a heretic. He was then beaten, tortured, spat upon, imprisoned, and had his right hand and tongue cut off, but he miraculously still was able to confess and speak the truth. He soon died in exile at a fortress in the Lazica district of Georgia.

Tom Albanese's departure looks abrupt, but only in the sense that most outsiders had wearied of hearing calls for the Rio Tinto chief's head. As Lex has pointed out, his resignation was long overdue.
Since the dire implications of Mr Albanese's decision to push through the Alcan purchase at the top of the market in 2007 became clear, people had been saying his days were numbered. "I expect him to be out within 12 months," was the rash prediction of one unnamed investor in 2009. Read more

New York -- The Deloitte Consumer Spending Index ticked down slightly in March, but has remained relatively steady with a reading over 4.0 the past five months. The Index tracks consumer cash flow as an indicator of future consumer spending.
"The drastic ups and downs among factors including wages, home prices and unemployment claims have subsided, delivering more stability to the Index, which remains at a level consistent with real personal consumption growth of around 2 percent at an annual rate," said Patricia Buckley , director, economic policy and analysis, Deloitte Services LP, and author of the monthly Index. "Rising real home prices and small but steady consumer spending increases are among factors suggesting the country may be poised for growth this year, should the economy avoid negative impacts from Europe's financial troubles or the debt ceiling debate this summer."
The Index, which comprises four components — tax burden, initial unemployment claims, real wages and real home prices — fell slightly this month to 4.12 from a reading of 4.37 the previous month.
"Consumers have maintained their level of spending in recent months and retailers should be encouraged by the economic signals," said Alison Paul , vice chairman, Deloitte LLP and retail & distribution sector leader. "However, retailers do not have the wind entirely at their backs this month: Consumers with their tax refunds may be a welcome sight in April, but the month will come without the usual Easter holiday to boost sales. Retailers should simultaneously focus on consumers' pent up demand and tax refunds, coaxing shoppers to leave behind the winter's chill and replace the items that were on the back burner, while giving them a promotional incentive to combine those purchases in the retailer's store."

Hi i have a form inside a frame, for example:

Header

Iframe should be enabled.

Footer

in iframe.php
<form action="http://some-url" id="my_form" name="my_form" method="POST">

<input id="<?php echo $key; ?>" name="<?php echo $key; ?>" value="<?php echo $value; ?>" type="hidden"/>

I would like to know how to submit the iframe.php form so that it goes out of frame.I think we need to tweak this code:

Thanks in advance.
what do you mean by
When the form is submitted, all the form data goes to the value of the action attribute
How can you Earn money online?
What i want is:When the form inside the frame is submitted then it should no longer be inside the frame, that's all.Thanks
Then you need to specify exactly where you want it to be relocated to.

Header

Iframe should be enabled.<form action="http://some-url" id="my_form" name="my_form" method="POST">

Footer

if i make the action of the form to say:action="http://my-domain.com/api"
then this page will be inside the frame of the parent.
hope you got my point.
FYI, this is not the proper way of using iframe.Thanks
I know.
But you still haven't said where you want the form to go to outside of the frame after the form has been submitted.
If you don't want it in the frame, where do you want to put it as per your question
I don't think you are getting my point.Wherever i want to go.. just want to get out of frame.
Hey i found the solution:use target="_parent" in form.
1) target is deprecated in <form>
2) adding target to the form is not taking the form out of the frame at all as you asked but simply outputting the result of the processed form data in a new window.
it appears you didn't understand what you were asking because the form will still be in the frame but the output will be in whatever target is set to.
It's working now.Thanks a lot for you effort.

STRATFORD, Conn. - An Amazon.com exclusive product is being recalled because of a possible health risk to children.

A man was stabbed outside a hairdressing salon at The Quadrant in Marshalswick in May. An employee from a nearby businesses was one of the first people to reach the victim, who was in his 30s.
She said: "It frightened the life out of me to find someone who had been stabbed, there was so much blood. It was such a frightening experience. You don't expect anything like this around the Quadrant. We've never had any trouble like this before."
Frank and Louise Varey were later arrested and charged with GBH in connection with the attack, however Mr Varey passed away while waiting for trial.
Mrs Varey is due to appear in court next year. A mother was left heartbroken when her home went up in flames - just a few days after the anniversary of her daughter's death.
Lisa Taylor, 33, and her sons Liam, nine, Kian, five, and Jackson, one, of Camp Road were out on the school run at 8.30am on Friday when the fire started. T
he children's father was in the house at the time of the blaze, which started in an upstairs bedroom, but managed to escape.
The fire happened just a few days after the third anniversary of the death of Ms Taylor's daughter, Cody. The nine-year-old died after suffering an asthma attack in 2009.
Ms Taylor said as soon as she told the firefighters what had happened they rushed in to save as many of her photographs and belongings as possible.
She added: "I had kept things that reminded me and the boys of her. "It was stuff I was so happy to see. I would like to thank the firemen because they tried to save so many of her belongings. It means so much."
After the fire, kind-hearted residents grouped together to collect some of the essential items which the family lost in the fire.
Neighbour Teresa Ryan, who is organising the collection, said: "They've lost everything. A lifetime of memories is just destroyed. "We can't give them back their memories but we will do what we can."
Deranged boyfriend Sebastiano Mauro went to a stable and slashed his ex-lover's horse in a revenge attack after their affair ended with his arrest for an alleged assault.
Mauro, a surgical nurse, used a sharp bladed instrument to attack the ten-year old bay coloured mare called Jessie.
But Mauro's campaign of terror against Jessie's owner, Nathalie Kelderman, 36, was far from over.
Two months later, after being released on bail from prison where he had been held following the attack, he turned up outside Miss Kelderman's flat in St Albans.
Determined to attack her once more, he was armed with a carving knife, two screwdrivers, scalpel blades, a tourniquet, latex gloves, empty syringes and two syringes containing his own blood.
Luckily, two police officers, concerned he might try to get to her, discovered him yards from her flat and once more he was arrested.
Mauro was sentenced to five years in jail and the horse made a full recovery. Hundreds of anti-GM protesters descended on Harpenden on Sunday to demonstrate against trials taking place at Rothamsted Research.
Campaigners gathered in nearby Rothamsted Park after an order was issued by St Albans District Council banning the public from the research site.
Campaign group Take the Flour Back organised the event to demonstrate against the genetically modified wheat trials.
Police horses and the force's helicopter were part of the large operation set up by Hertfordshire Constabulary The day remained peaceful and people spent the afternoon listening to guest speakers and live music.
Some people travelled from as far away as Africa and France to be part of the demonstration. Police estimated that about 200 people attended the demonstration but Take the Flour Back say it was double that.
A 50-year-old man was arrested prior to the event and two men, aged 25 and 26, were arrested during the protest.

Given the attention it received when it was launched (including from us), the demise of Wikia Search should not go unnoted.
This was the attempt by Jimmy Wales (of Wikipedia fame) to bring a more transparent crowd-sourced approach to internet search. Wales' complaint was that the "black boxes" of the big search engines are undesirable in the long term: as people come to depend more on search, they deserve a chance to look under the covers at how results are arrived at, and to help influence the rankings.

It's great to see more and more enterprise Flex applications being built. However, as the scale and complexity of these applications increase so the design challenges we face.
One problem area is the presentation layer where a plethora of design patterns exist. Paul Williams produced a good series of "blog":http://blogs.adobe.com/paulw/archives/2007/10/presentation_pa.html posts on presentation models and there is a good "document":http://www.martinhunter.co.nz/articles/MVPC.pdf from Martin Hunter on MVC, MVP and MVPC. Even with these patterns we still face design challenges if we want to write clean code that is easy to read and stands up to change.
One challenge is messaging between view components. I have seen various solutions and nearly all are based on events. Lets diverge for a bit. Events are a core part of the Flash/Flex programming model and they rightfully have their place, but on the other-hand they are a menace to clean code. As apps scale I have seen too much code polluted with event handling, which obstructs readability. The big problem is the execution path, when the event is fired where does it go? Who is handling it? As the app continues to grow it becomes easier and easier to simply listen for events, the result is we rapidly loose our mental picture of how the code is executing. We often justify this as loose coupling, which I would argue against. I am a proponent of loose coupling, but I want to be able to look at the code and read through the execution path. Tooling is making it easier, but it doesn't change the fact that the code is no longer readable.
Coming back round to presentation patterns, the other problem I see is an overuse of patterns. Especially within the presentation layer. It seems to be more and more common to combine presentation patterns, giving each their own subtle responsibility. Not only does it detract from the readability but it also confuses new engineers to the project. How do you explain their subtle responsibilities? If you can't clearly articulate your vision then the design will soon erode and you will be left with a rotten codebase, which is difficult to maintain and extend.
Now I don't see a silver bullet to these problems, but I would like to suggest an alternative. This emerged from a Pair Programming session with one of my colleagues, Dan Harfleet, who deserves the credit for this approach. We were using the Presentation Model pattern to separate the graphics aspect of the view from its behavior and state. We were using a Panel, which was composed of a couple of view components, each with their own Presentation Model. The main Presentation Model for the Panel was responsible for updating the Panel's status, but we wanted the nested components to also update the status. How do the Presentation Models communicate?
We wanted to avoid dispatching events and we wanted to avoid using a mediator for the reasons given above. We decided to take a simpler approach, which is based on the Observer pattern. Although it increases coupling, it introduces an explicit contract and allows us to easily read the code execution.
We started by creating two interfaces:
package com.adobe.blog.presentation
public interface StatusReceiver
function setStatus( message : String ) : void;
package com.adobe.blog.presentation
public interface StatusNotifier
function addReceiver( receiver : StatusReceiver ) : void;
The main Presentation Model implemented StatusReceiver and all other Presentation Models implemented the StatusNotifier. The attached sample application, which is over simplified, is using "Parsley":http://www.spicefactory.org. All Presentation Models are declared on the Parsley container. On the concrete implementation of StatusNotifier we decorate addReceiver() with the [Inject] metadata tag and Parsley injects the StatusReceiver.
I found this to be a simple solution. The two interfaces form a clear and concise contract and without using events I can easily read the code and understand what is happening.
Downland the sample "here":http://blogs.adobe.com/pmartin/code/PresentationPatternBlog.zip and give it a try. I would interested to here your thoughts.

We are pleased to announce this 2013 request for proposals (RFP) for projects that focus on youth, and incorporate culture and tradition to address social issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, mental health or other social issues. Note: This is a two phase proposal.
Specifically, we are seeking projects that focus on one or more of these four priority areas:
First Nations expects to award approximately 20 grants. Some projects may have previously received funding through the Native Youth and Culture Fund (NYCF), and are seeking additional support to expand the original project, with a view toward sustainability. First Nations would prefer to review projects of no longer than one year in length, and with budgets between $5,000 and $20,000. Only in very exceptional cases, will we consider projects that do not fit these guidelines
