You have just been brought in on a project, as the previous project manager has left. The project is behind schedule and is over budget, and several key team members have quit in disgust, plummeting the morale of the rest of the team, who fear they will have to do the extra work without compensation.
What are some strategies that could be used by a project manager to successfully manage the relationships among project team members and the relationships among the project team and external resources (e.g. subcontractors, government agencies)? How would these strategies differ under the conditions described in the previous scenario?

On Valuing American Call Options with the Black‐Scholes European Formula
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): ROBERT GESKE, RICHARD ROLL
- Published: Apr 30, 2012

Empirical papers on option pricing have uncovered systematic differences between market prices and values produced by the Black‐Scholes European formula. Such "biases" have been found related to the exercise price, the time to maturity, and the variance. We argue here that the American option variant of the Black‐Scholes formula has the potential to explain the first two biases and may partly explain the third. It can also be used to understand the empirical finding that the striking price bias reverses itself in different sample periods. The expected form of the striking price bias is explained in detail and is shown to be closely related to past empirical findings.

The Preserves arsonist apparently hasn't ended his campaign.
An arson task force investigator told New Times that a new note purportedly from the arsonist was discovered at a home construction site on North Arroya Grande Drive. The note was found by residents near the North Phoenix Mountains Preserve, Phoenix Police Sergeant Trent Crump confirmed this week. No fire was set.
In the message, the group claiming responsibility for the burning of 11 luxury homes warns against further construction. The arsonist has twice set fire to a home on that street to protest development near the Preserve. Crump says the note is still being analyzed to determine whether identifying variables such as the type of paper, font and grammar in the note match previous communiqués.
For complete New Times coverage of the Preserves Arsonist, click over to our Arsonist Archives.
Crump also said arson investigators do not believe Monday's fire in the Arizona Biltmore Estates was related to the Preserves arsons. Crump said there were several apparent differences between the Preserves arsons and the Biltmore blaze. Officials speculate that a construction accident such as "spontaneous combustion" caused by painter's supplies may have started the Biltmore fire.
When asked if investigators have suspects in the arson case, Crump turned rhetorical -- asking how one should delineate an "investigative lead" versus a "suspect." The number of individuals suspected by tipsters of being the arsonist totals "more than the number of yards on a football field," he said.
The last fire credited to the Preserves arsonist happened on January 18. Crump said the arson task force has not scaled back since then.

Also, New Times has received a letter from Arizona U.S. District Attorney José de Jesus Rivera requesting production of a taped phone interview with the Preserves arsonist. Rivera warns that if the tape is not handed over, a federal grand jury subpoena may be authorized by U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft.
Last month, a Superior Court judge quashed a grand jury subpoena filed by Maricopa County Attorney Rick Romley seeking testimony and written and electronic records from New Times.
The paper published a story January 25 based on an interview with the arsonist, who was disguised and did not identify himself or the three people he says are in his group. He agreed to the interview only if the reporter came alone and did not tape record him. The tape requested by investigators was made during a short phone interview to set up the face-to-face interview.

Taking a membership of a gym and working out to reduce weight is the path chosen by a vast majority of people. Once you join a gym or think about building a home gym, you are faced with the dilemma of using equipment that you are not familiar with. A treadmill, however, is the simplest and easiest equipment you could use for achieving your fitness goals. Knowing the inner workings of a smooth treadmill will give you enough opportunity to lose extra calories.
A smooth treadmill does give you the advantage of setting up a rhythm at which you are comfortable while exercising. Various options like speed control, time control and incline control make it worthwhile and keep you in charge of what you are doing. Latest ones have built in shock absorbers to safeguard your knees and ankles. A manual treadmill on the other hand demands a lot of participation from you. Pace is set by your physical efforts alone. Thighs, leg muscles and lower back are used extensively when imparting acceleration to a manual treadmill. This results in quicker benefit to your lower body.
When you start out for sports equipment of your choice, you are obviously looking for something that provides value for money. Here caution is necessary so that in your quest to save a few bucks, you do not compromise on quality. High quality sports fitness equipment will provide you better value in terms of health benefits as compared to cheaper ones. It is better to know working of a smooth treadmill inside out so that you make an informed choice while buying. If you do not have sufficient knowledge, you will be lumped with equipment that will not perform as per your expectations.
A smooth treadmill is designed to impart maximum benefit to you for the level of effort you put in. Fitted with advanced heavy duty motors, smooth treadmills can be set to run at speeds you are comfortable with. If on a particular day you feel that you only need to jog at leisure, you can do that on a smooth treadmill. Since it is designed to not put any extra load on your body, you might feel a bit rattled by the smoothness. It might take a little time for the effects to show on your body. Simply put, do not expect wonders in a day or two when you use smooth treadmill.
Unlike a manual treadmill, you do not use your thigh muscles to achieve acceleration. The motor fitted on the machine will do that for you. Fitted with high quality traction rubbers, smooth treadmills are easy on your soles. A manual treadmill can often lead to bursitis or blisters but a smooth treadmill, due to its high quality belt, offers sufficient padding and protection. In addition, the shock absorbers take care of your leg joints. There is no load on your knees or ankles while using a smooth treadmill.
A smooth treadmill is ideal for people making a beginning into fitness world. If you are training to be a sprinter, a smooth treadmill will not be of much help to you. A system with enough checks and balances for beginners, a smooth treadmill allows you to keep your vitals under control by providing you such information in a lucid manner. Sensors on hand grips show you the pulse rate and if it rises rapidly, you know you must reduce speed or stop altogether. These machines can be easily folded and stowed. Designed for people in medium weight category, smooth treadmills come with attractive guaranty offers.
In this article we have provided you with insights so that you know a smooth treadmill. Other than the information provided above, you must know that a smooth treadmill is not the solution for obese or overly tall people as well as professional athletes. Provided with basic speed and incline controls with large LED displays; a smooth treadmill can be categorised as a mid level treadmill. You can expect to reach a certain level of proficiency using a smooth treadmill. On first use, you might find that treadmill rocks and swings with your steps. This is nothing alarming but the shock absorbers adjusting to your weight.

Green chemistry is an innovative way to approach the synthesis of metallic nanostructures employing eco-friendly substances (natural compounds) acting as reducing agents. Usually, slow kinetics are expected due to, use of microbiological materials. In this report we study composites of natural rubber (NR) membranes fabricated using latex from Hevea brasiliensis trees (RRIM 600) that works as reducing agent for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. A straight and clean method is presented, to produce gold nanoparticles (AuNP) in a flexible substrate or in solution, without the use of chemical reducing reagents, and at the same time providing good size's homogeneity, reproducibility, and stability of the composites.

Donald Trump's plan to restructure his resort hotels and casinos business has met with stern opposition from investors, who have dismissed it as nothing short of a "basket of goodies" for the tycoon.
The company, Trump Hotels, is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Under the reorganisation plan, Mr Trump would give up majority control but remain chairman and chief executive. After injecting $75m of his own money, he would retain 22pc of the group, and a 25pc stake in the Miss Universe pageant.
A proposed debt-for-equity swap would allow bondholders of $1.8 billion of debt to exchange their notes for control of two-thirds of the new company.
Shareholders have filed papers with the bankruptcy court asking the judge to prevent Mr Trump having the sole right to negotiate the restructuring. The court hearing in two weeks will decide whether the shareholders can submit their own plan.
Separately, Mr Trump said he had $640m of financing to build a 90-storey hotel, retail and apartments complex on the former site of the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper.

Video search engine Blinkx has been around for a while now – we first wrote about them when they launched back in 2004.
Over the years the site - which was founded in Cambridge, listed on the London stock exchange and is now based in San Francisco – has built a pretty successful niche out of its clever search techniques like speech recognition, without ever becoming one of those ubiquitous internet brands.
Now it looks like they could be making a break for household name status with their new product - their own spin on internet TV.
The idea's pretty straightforward: if you want to get a quick fix of the latest news or watch the most popular viral videos, just click a button and sit back. Does it stack up?
You get three options: "inform me" (news), "entertain me" (mainly user-generated videos) and "give me my own channel". Clicking on the first two gives you a pre-generated playlist of videos that you can watch, mimicking or one of those late-night Channel 4 clip shows (such as The 10,000 Greatest YouTube Videos EVER!!!).
Watching the beta this afternoon, my news bulletin consisted of (in this order) entertainment news, Afghanistan, the Pope, US politics and business, a story about allegations of cruelty to elephants in circuses and then something about Pink Panther 2.
Oh, and then I was treated to a voiceover-less film from Reuters which appeared to be about a massive cream pie fight. That was weird.
Your automatic playlist is refreshed every half hour or so to keep up with new stuff, and there are a multitude of little tricks to help you navigate around: like making your own channel using keywords, plus some very clever deep searching techniques, speech recognition, face tracking and recommendation.
But isn't it taking away from the site's core business of video search? When I spoke to CEO Suranga Chandratillake about it, he said that the new service was aimed at a subset of existing Blinkx users - but that it also has the potential to break out.
"There's somewhere between 10 and 25% of our audience that basically turns up at our site and is looking for something interesting to watch," he said. "It's really that person we've aimed this at - and if you look at what this person clicks on, they'll typically either click on something goofy or they'll click on news content."
"That's what we've really aimed at: if you don't know what to do, click here and you'll see funny stuff or you'll see interesting stuff. You don't have to think about it any further."
It's certainly pleasant to use and the search features are intriguing - even if the quality of the videos themselves isn't always up to much. But the web TV space is getting very crowded at the moment, with Hulu, iPlayer, Joost, YouTube and others. Is compiling the best of the web really what people want to see? In fact, he suggested, was actually a lot closer to the original idea for Blinkx than it might seem.
"When we first launched the site, we called it Blinkx TV," he said. "We lost that branding about three years ago, but part of the original vision was a TV for your computer. You couldn't do it in those days because the technology wasn't there, the content wasn't there. Now they are."

Most potential homeowners worry whether their home will retain its value over time. Here's some thoughts on this subject.
A lot of things come into play that might affect the value of your home. Your school system might improve make your home more valuable or the opposite might happen and home prices might tank. Whether or not you maintain your house in good condition will impact its value over time. The overall economy can impact the value of not only your home but everyone else's. A lot has to do with what you pay for your home in the first place.
Try not to be too aggressive when you negotiate the purchase of a property. Often, people who are too aggressive about trying to make the best possible deal work against their own best interests. Firmly establish the basic deal you will accept, but let professionals take care of the details. Your lawyer and the Realtor or experienced in these things, and will probably negotiate a better deal than you could.
If you're thinking about relocating, you may want to consider looking online at the neighborhood of the house you're thinking of purchasing. You can discover a great deal of information this way. You can find out about the population, local schools and salary ranges compared to other locations.
Be sure to find a partner you can trust to work together with, when buying expensive and large commercial property. This makes the loan qualification process much easier when you go to purchase the property. You may be able to qualify for a loan that you cannot qualify for alone by having a partner. A partner may be able to help with a down payment as well as lowering your debt-to-income ratio.
Even if your first offer is not accepted, keep hope that there may be methods to make the home more affordable. Such possibilities include offering to cover your closing costs or even do some upgrades and repairs to the property prior to your taking up residence.
A lack of flexibility can be a death sentence when it comes to buying a home. Sometimes you must choose between two major features if the price of having both falls outside of your price range. If you can't find the perfect home in the correct area, find a less than optimal home in that area.
When purchasing a home, try to limit the existence of fireplaces to one, to avoid having to maintain too many of them. Since most people don't use more than one fireplace, they can be more of a hassle to deal with than anything.
If the home you are buying has been foreclosed on, it's probably best to assume that it might need some repairs. A home that have been foreclosed may have been left unattended for a while before it was listed. If you are buying a foreclosed home, it will probably need new heating and air conditioning systems, as well as pest control services.
Trustworthy Real Estate Agent
So if you've decided you want to buy a place, now you need a real estate agent. Be sure to find a trustworthy real estate agent. You want to find an agent who has been in the business for a while, and has a track record of proven success that can lead you down the right path. Remember to research properly so your best interests are always at the agent's heart.
Have a pre-qualification letter from a reputable lender before beginning your home search. It would be a shame to find the one home you've been looking for and then discover that you can't get a large enough loan to cover it. Getting loans can be an arduous process that shouldn't be procrastinated.
When looking for a new home, don't buy it for what it has inside it. Your decision as to whether you will purchase a home should be based on the quality of its build and your requirements for sizing. If you buy a home primarily because it has structural details that appeal to you, you may fail to recognize critical flaws that can end up costing you thousands of dollars down the road.
When looking to select the perfect agent to represent you, make sure you inquire how long he or she has lived in your preferred area. If the agent is fairly new to the area, they will not know very much about community issues, streets and neighborhoods. Ideally, you want an agent that has lived and worked in the same town for ten years or more.
You are going to need to make sure that you check out the neighborhood before considering purchase of a home. If a neighborhood doesn't fit the needs of your day to day life, you will ultimately be disappointed with the purchase of that home. Understanding the environment and its surroundings can help to reduce the chances of regret in the future.
If you are shopping for a home, it is important to bring your own professionals into the deal. It's tempting and easier to go with a house inspector and appraiser chosen by the seller. You may think it is silly to spend money for services that could be procured at no cost. But you need to work with people that you can trust to help you make the right decisions. Spending a little money now can save you a lot of money in the end.
Many home buyers don't suspect that buying a home is that hard of a process. Use the advice in this post to help you when making your next home purchase.

De Blasio joins parade-goers at Sunnyside/Woodside's St. Pats for All
March 3, By Christian Murray
Kids from the Bronx, gay activists, die-hard Irishmen and, yes, plenty of politicians, all turned out for the 15th St. Pats for All Parade in Sunnyside/Woodside on Sunday.
The parade took on a very political flavor this year—with Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is boycotting the St. Patrick's Day parade on Fifth Avenue, in attendance with more than 10 council members.
De Blasio told a large crowd at the beginning of the event that "this parade celebrates diversity, inclusion and unity and that is what this city is about."
De Blasio said that when the parade got started 15 years ago, it was not easy getting it off the ground. "It, however, caught on because it was the right thing to do."
"A lot of times you have to start things in the direction of progressive values and start a process of change… and over time people take to it and understand it is the right way," he said.
The parade was established after Irish groups were prohibited from marching under gay banners on Fifth Ave. That policy continues and that is why de Blasio will not be attending the Manhattan event.
Melissa Mark-Viverito , the council speaker, said that this neighborhood's St. Pats for All Parade is the place to be. "It includes everyone…and welcomes and embraces everyone."
State Sen. Mike Gianaris, however, complimented the parade organizers on the big turnout. "One of the great joys of representing Sunnyside/Woodside is watching this grow each year. And I don't think I have seen a crowd this big before," Gianaris said.
Meanwhile, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer, who protested at the Fifth Avenue parade many years ago, focused largely on the neighborhood, urging parade goers to even shop at local stores. "Support this community that supports equality for all," he said.
The message of gay rights and equality, however, still remained a central theme of the event.
This year's grand marshals—Tom Duane and Terry McGovern–spoke at great length about gay rights and their concerns about oppressive laws that have been introduced or passed in Africa and India.
Among this year's participants were The Keltic Dream Irish Dancers, a group of 35 children from the Bronx, who performed classic jigs as the speeches were going on.
The pipe bands and traditional Irish musicians added to the Irish authenticity of the event; so too, did an Irish language school and the Niall O'Leary School of Irish Dancers. Even the local Sunnyside dog group, SUDSMUTS, marched, with their dogs dressed in an assortment of green regalia such as a scarf with "Kiss me I'm Irish."
At the same time, there were also a variety of children's groups marching under a multitude of banners; the Shannon Gaels, Swim Strong, Sunnyside/Woodside Boys and Girls Club, Girl Scouts of Sunnyside Woodside and various schools.
A plethora of gay groups were also out in force. Among them was Stonewall Democrats of NYC, Queens Lesbian & Gay Pride Committee and DignityNY.

Yanks bash their way to sweep
Alex Rodriguez hit career homer No. 497 and the Yankees recorded a season-high 20 hits in a nightcap barrage, blasting the Devil Rays, 17-5, to complete a day-night doubleheader sweep at Yankee Stadium.
After clubbing the Rays in the afternoon game of the twin bill, posting a 7-3 victory behind home runs from Hideki Matsui and rookie Shelley Duncan, the Yankees kept their offense cranking in the nightcap.
"We didn't have many dry innings, and to me, that's probably the manager's best friend," said Joe Torre, "when you score runs and you keep going after it every at-bat. We had some tired puppies out there, but they never gave away an at-bat."
Rodriguez closed to within three home runs of becoming the youngest player to join the 500-homer club when he connected off former Yankee Jay Witasick for a two-run shot, part of New York's five-run sixth inning, dropping a blast onto the netting over Monument Park in left field.
"It's incredible," said Andy Phillips, who had four hits in the doubleheader. "It's hard to even describe what he's doing. You know, it's hard to put in words, justifiable words. It's just an amazing thing that he's doing, and he never ceases to amaze you every time he steps up there."
Both Rodriguez and Johnny Damon drove in four runs in the second game, and Damon -- playing left field after spending the first game on the bench -- turned in two tremendous defensive plays to rob Tampa Bay's Akinori Iwamura, including a second-inning diving snag in the left-center-field gap on what would have been at least a two-run extra-base hit.
Damon also ran down the game's first pitch with a running grab in the left-field corner, smacking into the padding as he completed the catch.
The Yankees' total offensive output, which included Bobby Abreu and Matsui also collecting three RBIs and Matsui's eighth homer in his last 16 games, proved necessary. Rookie left-hander Kei Igawa had been shaky before turning in five innings of two-run ball in the first game, and the Yankees summoned rookie right-hander Matt DeSalvo from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start under the lights.
"I don't think there's any question that we felt we needed to score runs," Torre said. "You've got a kid coming up from the Minor Leagues [in DeSalvo], [and] you've got Igawa, who used a lot of pitches early in his games. The pitching worked out great."
DeSalvo's success was scattered in his first two Major League callups, but the Yankees selected him for the start after considering his statistics at Scranton, where he'd gone 3-2 with a 2.95 ERA in seven starts since being sent down immediately after an ill-fated start on June 3 at Chicago.
One of seven rookie pitchers to make starts this season for the Yankees, DeSalvo had crisp bite on some pitches early, but his luck ran out in the fifth inning, with the big blow a two-run single to B.J. Upton. DeSalvo was lifted with two outs in the inning, but Brian Bruney came on in relief and recorded the final out, preserving DeSalvo's line at four runs and seven hits.
"Team-wise, I'm happy with getting into the fifth inning and getting 14 outs," said DeSalvo, who was optioned back to Triple-A after the game. "But on a personal level, I'd be a lot happier person if I got a few more outs and went into the sixth or seventh inning, for my own sake. The team won, so it's one of those days where you just have to learn from it."
Luis Vizcaino picked up the victory on both ends of the doubleheader, becoming the first Yankee to do so since Lindy McDaniel on May 24, 1970, at Cleveland. Vizcaino pitched a scoreless inning in the afternoon game and turned in 1 1/3 blank innings in the nightcap to earn his eighth win of the season, leading all Major League relievers.
"He's one of those magic guys this year," Torre said.
The Yankees gave DeSalvo plenty to work with early facing left-hander J.P. Howell, who came off a start at Boston in which he couldn't make it out of the first inning.
The Yankees had similar designs on Howell, as Abreu ripped a two-run double up the gap in left-center and Rodriguez doubled off the right-field wall. Howell allowed the first five Yankees to reach base before finally recording an out.
Backup catcher Wil Nieves contributed a two-run double to the attack against Howell and had two hits in what could be his final game as a Yankee. The club completed a trade with the Angels for catcher Jose Molina during the late innings, and plan to designate Nieves for assignment as soon as Molina can get to New York from Minnesota, where his former club was playing.
The doubleheader sweep has the Yankees flying high, but maybe only for a few hours. They shuffled out of Yankee Stadium quickly, with the fourth and final game of the series set for Sunday afternoon.
"We'll come in tomorrow trying to win a game," Phillips said. "We've taken the approach that we are trying to win one each day, and if we can do that, we can add some series up and make a push at this thing."

Need help restoring Docs, Pics and Videos user folders
Hey, this is my first time on the forum so please excuse this issue is here and I couldn't find it in search.
I installed a NAS drive and created default folders on it for Docs, Pics and Videos. 2 Weeks ago my NAS drive died on me so not having the directories is causing my PC to run pretty slow. I've tried the tutorial on restoring defaults but I think due to the fact the my present and past default directories are no longer there it's not working. Can anybody help with this?
Thanks in advance for your time,
|My System Specs

Hello Joe, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You might see if using OPTION TWO in the tutorial below may be able to restore your user folders.
User Folders - Restore Default Location
Hope this helps,
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
Thank you for the fast reply. I have begun Option 2. Turns out I can see all my folders but the path is pointing to my NAS so I have modified them all in regedit without downloading the ZIP file. Did I jump the gun on that?. My other question is I don't have a My Documents but I do have Personal. Is this the same?
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
You're welcome Joe.
Yes, you could change them manually if you like instead of using the REG files in OPTION TWO for the registry location exactly as how they are in the NOTE box at the top of the tutorial. Be sure that you do all of the other steps as well though or it will not work.
That's correct. In the registry, "Personal" is for the "My Documents" folder. The table under step 19 can help show you more on this.
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
OK this is what I got after following all the directions in option 2.
When I click on Library (See attached pic)
Documents Library now has 3 locations, 1 is public
Pictures has 2 locations, 1 is public
Videos and Music don't have the users location
But when I go to c:\users\mJoeNaz all folders are listed. (see attached Pic)
There is only 1 Documents folder
Also Music and Videos do not have the Location tab in properties
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
It sounds like a registry setting may still be off. Try Option Two again, but using the REG files along with all of the other steps exactly as outlined in the tutorial.
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
OK will do. I'll let you know how it turns out
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
It's getting better. I re did everything for My Documents, My Music, and My Videos.
Documents now comes up when I issue the shellersonal in search. However there are still (2) users\JoeNaz\ locations yet only 1 folder.
My Music and My Videos still does not have a location tab and only a public location in the library. Also the shell string does not bring them up
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
I have an update. I did something with the properties off of the list on the right of the start menu and managed to get the 2nd documents location to disapear.
I then manually added \users\joenaz\music and \users\joenaz\video as a new save location under the properties tab but they still do not have the location tab and come up as mucis (C) and video (C) in my library (see attached)
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2011
That's great news so far. You would only have the "Locations" tab if it's opened from inside the C:\Users\joenaz folder.

- Vardar River
German Wardar, Greek Axiós,major river in Macedonia and in Greece. It rises in the Šar Mountains and flows north-northeast past Gostivar and Tetovo (in the Gostivar–Tetovo depression); it then turns sharply to flow southeast past Skopje and Titov Veles into Greece, where it enters the Gulf of Salonika of the Aegean Sea. Of its total length of 260 miles (420 km), 187 miles (300 km) are in Macedonia; its drainage basin is 8,643 square miles (22,387 square km). The river's valley is important as a source of agricultural production and as a part of the Morava–Vardar corridor, a major transportation route between central Europe and the Aegean.

Due to popular demand hometown favorite, vocalist/lyricist/actor George V Johnson Jr. returns to Twins Lounge for a one night engagement Friday, December 16th. He'll be celebrating 55 years on the planet. All Musicians and friends are invited to come out to Twins and join in the fun.
Johnson's career spans over 30 years, dating back to the 70's with the late pianist John Malachi at the "PIGFOOT" workshop in NE Washington DC. If you have not had the opportunity to hear him in concert recently, he still presents one of the most explosive & energetic performances you'll witness anywhere in jazz. With a repertoire including original lyrics to John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, James Moody, Miles Davis, Hank Mobley, Lou Donaldson, Arnold Sterling, David 'Fathead' Newman, Sonny Rollins and more you're in for a rare and special treat.
While spreading his wings in NYC with the legendary James Moody and Lou Donaldson, recognized as two of the top saxophonist in jazz. Johnson landed his recording debut after an introduction by the late Leon Thomas to Pharoah Sanders during a night hanging out at the Village Vanguard. Pharoah asked him to sit in and was very impressed after he sang his lyrics to John Coltrane's "Moments Notice. Five days later he called the singer and asked if he would like to hang out with him in NYC. When he got to the address he later found out it was Power Station Studio. After watching a brief part of the session in awe the great tenor asked Johnson if he'd like to sing his lyrics to Moments Notice! All it took was one take at a moments notice and the rest was history. The all star cast included John Hicks, Bobby Hutcherson, Dr Art Davis, Billy Higgins, Steve Turre and Danny Moore. It's the most popular cut and has since been re-released on CD by Evidence Music
He continued to perform occasionally throughout the 80's and 90's, but it was not until the year 2000 that he recorded again. Proving the value of the Internet, he researched, promoted and produced his first solo CD "Next In Line" on his own label Your Majesty Records. With only 1,500 copies he personally mailed over 800 to radio station around the world. A move that thrust him back into international spotlight like a breath of fresh air. Knowing the competition he was up against with major record labels, his marketing strategy featured the famous sixteen second sound bite with his mentor the late Eddie Jefferson proclaiming that George V Johnson Jr is "Next in Line, Next In Line". Thus, sending a wake up call throughout the jazz industry, that perseverance is the key and the Art of Jazz Vocalese is Well and Alive.
On the CD he gives us a long awaited performance combined with studio and several live cuts. Ranging from original lyrics to My Little Suede Shoes, Star Eyes, the original "Opening Night", and Freedom Jazz featuring Tina Prat on tap. The highlight of the CD is a breath taking live performance with the late drummer "Roy Brooks" and the Artistic Truth on Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" Live @ 1991 Detroit Montreau Jazz Festival. To his surprise Johnson was nominated "Best Jazz Vocals" for the 10th Annual LA Music Awards 2000 and won "Best Male Vocals" for the 1st Annual Harlem Jazz Poll Awards, bettering the likes of Jarreau, Elling, Mahogany, Benson, McFerrin and the lyrical headmaster of Vocalese "Jon Hendricks". Quite an accomplishment with almost a 20 year absence. If you have a copy hold on to it. It's out of print and a collectors item.
Order your tickets online today to hear a "National Treasure" in the making.

How can you specify the starting values of an array?
Printable View
How can you specify the starting values of an array?
Do you mean how do you declare and initialize the values of an array? If so, try something likeDo a similar thing for any other type: type a list of values, separated by commas, and the entire list is surrounded by curly brackets.Code:
int foo[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};
// or without the size explicitly, like:
int bar[] = {1,2,3,4,5};
int nums[1000] = {0}; // All elements are initialized to 0.
int nums[1000] = {1, 2, 3}; // First 3 elements are initialized to 1, 2, & 3, the rest are initialized to 0.
thinking it would initialize all elements to "5", when it just sets the first element to 5 and all others to 0.Code:
int nums[1000] = {5};
Let me know if Im incorrect and misunderstanding things. I know I thought that specifying one value initialized the whole array to that value was true in Java--it might actually be, but Ive never verified or looked it up.

Sessions' amendment won't get a vote until debate on the Senate budget resolution is completed, likely Friday morning, unless an agreement is reached to vote earlier.
"What we're saying is, this country can balance a budget … if we set forth a plan that increases spending by 3.4 percent each year," Sessions said. "We can spend more money and still get a balanced budget."
Chairwoman Patty MurrayPatricia (Patty) Lynn MurrayA bipartisan bridge opens between the House and Senate Overnight Health Care: ObamaCare sign-ups surge in early days Collins, Manchin to serve as No Labels co-chairs MORE (D-Wash.) said Sessions was really calling for the committee to produce the plan proposed by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul RyanPaul RyanGOP rep: Virginia defeat 'a referendum' on Trump administration After Texas shooting, lawmakers question whether military has systemic reporting problem Pence: Praying 'takes nothing away' from trying to figure out causes behind mass shooting MORE (R-Wis.), which she said makes "extreme cuts."
"We've seen the package they're talking about, it's the Ryan budget plan … that eliminates the deficit, they say, but does it in a devastating way to middle class families," Murray said. "It takes extreme cuts to our infrastructure that's crumbling and our education system.
"Their budget in the House would dismantle Medicare. … That sounds pretty unbalanced to me."
The Republican plan would balance the budget over 10 years by cutting $5.7 trillion in spending.
Sessions was critical of Murray's budget because it does not balance the budget over 10 years and would not reduce the debt.
Democrats say their budget cuts the deficit by $1.85 trillion over ten years through an equal amount of spending cuts and new revenue, but the GOP has said that, because it assumes the sequester will not happen, the amount of deficit reduction is closer to $700 billion.
"This motion would simply say this to our colleagues, do you favor a balanced budget? Is it important to you? Have you said you'd vote for a balanced budget?" Sessions said. "A goal of balancing the budget isn't just some frivolous goal -- it will mean that we'll put our government on a sustainable path."
Democrats say government investment is still necessary to produce more economic growth, but Sessions said that more debt hinders economic growth.
Sessions said that if the Senate produced a balanced budget, it would have a better chance in a conference committee with the House's budget.
Murray said that the process of reworking the budget in committee would take months. Under the No Budget, No Pay Act passed earlier this year, the Senate has to pass a budget by April 15 or else they don't get paid.

Many small business owners put their heart and soul—along with most of their money—into their business. But what happens when they're no longer there to run it?
Owners need to think about their exit strategy before death or a major health event forces the issue, said Tom Deans, business wealth expert and best-selling author, who spoke at a recent Mississauga Board of Trade event sponsored by Standard Life.
When it comes to selling their business, small business owners really only have two options, Deans explained. The first is to gift the business to their children—which, in his view, is the worst choice.
"At the age of 13, my father asked me whether or not I wanted to purchase shares in his business," said Deans, explaining that it's important to get your children involved in—and committed to—the business, rather than giving it to them for free.
The other option is to sell it: to family members, employees, competitors or a financial buyer, such as a private equity fund. Emotionally, it can be hard for business owners to imagine someone else at the helm of their pride and joy. However, "every business is sold—the question is how and when," noted Deans, adding that "selling a business does not mean selling out."
He encouraged business owners to think now about what their last day will look like. For example, imagine the business is always for sale. Make sure there is a strong management team in place. Create a transition team to manage future change.
Compensation and benefits programs play an important role in retaining employees and keeping them "switched on," explained Deans. A 2012 survey of 400 officers and 600 employees at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), conducted for Standard Life by Environics Research Group, finds that two-thirds of employees are very concerned that they won't be able to retire comfortably. And group savings and retirement plans rank in the top three benefits that SME employees prioritize.
"The writing is on the wall," said Kirk McMillan, regional VP, sales, retail markets, with Standard Life. "Many SMEs are understanding the importance of pensions and benefits to their employees."
The key takeaway for business owners is, Get your house in order. "This is your largest investment," he reminded the audience. "What are you doing to take care of it?

Today, I am clinging to this truth for dear life.
God's grace is sufficient for me. And it is sufficient for you.
When my efforts to meet with God are causing more anxiety than joy, more striving than resting, I know I've got myself a problem: the good news of God's grace is not resonating! Have you ever been in that place?
Consider the Israelites, who continually turned to worship idols, forgetting God's covenant and promises. Despite their wayward efforts to fill the God-shaped void in their hearts, Moses tells them, "For the Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them" (Deuteronomy 4:31).
Praise the Lord for that.
When the Lord seems distant, when drawing near to Him takes a fight, we can rest in His promise: His grace is sufficient in our weakness. What freedom there is to realize that Christ has taken hold of us, and He will never let go! Our lives are hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3).
Let us cling to this truth for dear life today, friends. His grace is sufficient!

Renaissance for Plans for the Champs Elysees of L.A.?
A remnant of the city's destructive and disruptive urban renewal efforts of the middle of the last century, the site of the ambitious Frank Gehry-designed Grand Avenue project is an unsightly desert of parking located smack in the middle of downtown L.A.'s most prominent cultural, business, and civic area. Born a decade ago in the high-flying days of the housing boom, and anchored by developer Related Companies, the stalled project aimed at transforming this desert into a massive $3 billion collection of high-rise towers, shops, upscale condos and a five-star hotel.
Now, according to Allen, the project may be stirring back to life, albeit in a revised form, "Bill Witte, president of Related California, said that the firm was working to adjust its plans to better reflect market conditions, and that its 'dimensions, scope and scale' could be adjusted. He did not reveal specific details but suggested the new plans would be aimed at getting the project off the ground."
"We still believe we can create some of the highest values downtown....But do I think we have to be a little bit less ambitious? Yes, I would agree with that," Witte said. "The city's and the county's expectation is that they want something with vision and that is doable. I don't think anybody is interested in pie-in-the sky talk."
"Under its amended agreement, Related must begin construction by February 2013 - or obtain yet another extension from the board of city and county officials overseeing the project. Related is expected to bring new plans to the board this year."

A Mobicast Routing Protocol With Carry-and-Forward in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
In vehicular networks, safety and comfort applications are two quite different kinds of applications to avoid the emergency traffic accident and enjoy the non-emergency entertainment. The comfort application drives the challenges of new non-emergency entertainments for Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs). In this paper, the authors investigate a new mobicast protocol to support comfort applications for a highway scenario in Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs). All vehicles located in a geographic zone (denoted as zone of relevance, ZOR) at time t, the mobicast routing is to disseminate the data message initiated from a specific vehicle to all vehicles which have ever appeared in ZOR at time t.

Báo cáo nghiên cứu nông nghiệp " Improvement of export and domestic markets for Vietnamese fruit through improved post-harvest and supply chain management "
The fruit industry in Vietnam has a great potential and plays an important role in agricultural production. In 2003, Vietnam exported US$43 million of high value fruit to high-income countries and imported US$14 million of fruit and vegetables. Vietnam is experiencing difficulties in competing with other Asian nations in export markets and its own domestic market, especially with China and Thailand. This suggests that Vietnam's horticultural industries require substantial development to be globally competitive. Vietnamese consumers are demanding safer and higher quality fruit.
