Unanswered: Help! Stuck on School Reporting Database design!
I'm trying to develop a database to help streamline a school reporting process, but am having trouble getting my head around the relationships diagram, as well as then 'converting' that into a workable interface.
I'd be grateful if anybody could offer some advice about this project, as it needs to work well in order to be useful!
What I need is this:
(1) Enter very basic STUDENT info: StudentID (A/N), Name, Surname, Year Level. Nothing fancy.
(2) Enter SUBJECT info: SubjectID (A/N), ExtCode (external moderators code), SchoolCode, SubjectTitle (e.g. Home Economics), SubjectSubtitle (e.g. Food and Hospitality), SubjectYearLevel. There are often subtle differences between subject names, especially at senior year levels, so there might be very similar entries - e.g. Mathematical Studies versus Mathematics Studies. It's silly, but that's the way the education board does it! Generally this means that certain subject names are specific to certain year levels.
(3) Enter TEACHER info: TeacherID (A/N), TeacherCode (generally the first three letters of their surname - each is unique to the school system), Name and Surname.
(4) Create CLASSES (of course - many to many combination of STUDENTS, CLASSES, TEACHERS and SUBJECTS). There also needs to be a field that concatenates different values (subject Year Level, SchoolCode and TeacherCode) to create a unique value something like this: 11EngStSmi (for Year 11, English Studies, Sue Smith).
It's at this point that my head gets a bit tangled. I want an interface where a teacher (say, Sue Smith) selects her name from a drop down list. When she does that, she will see a list of all her current classes (e.g. 11EngStSmi, 11ModHisSmi, 11DraStSmi, etc). Beside each listed subject, there should be a button that, when clicked, opens a form applicable to each individual class and displays a list of all students in that class. Beside each student's name there should be space to enter reporting details, such as School Grade, ExtGrade, ExamPercentage, AppPart Grade, Teacher Comments, etc). The other complication is that certain subjects will have individual assessment components (e.g. EngSt might have Text Analysis, whereas Maths might have Data and Recording) that need an individual grading structure.
All this then gets merged into a report template to then be printed as final school reports. I have absolutely no idea whether the relationships diagram I've attached to this message is leading on the right track, nor am I able to figure out how to piece it all together into the forms interface I have described.
If somebody could please help me, it would be much appreciated!

First, Simplify.
Get your relationships in order before getting hung up on this form you are imaging.
You need an intersection table. it would basically be a primary key and a foreign key to each of your tables. It would probably also have the term and the year of the class. it may even have the time of day or maybe section, depending on how you want to handle it.
Try that and let us know how you are doing.

Thunder Business Strong In Team's Third Year In Oklahoma City
Published October 26, 2010
|Thunder Season-Ticket Renewals
Among Highest In NBA
Fresh off the Thunder's first playoff appearance in Oklahoma City, the anticipation for the team's '10-11 season is sky high. The excitement has carried over to the team's ticket sales, and after a season with 28 sellouts, the Thunder have sold 13,100 season tickets this season at the 18,203-seat Oklahoma City Arena. Thunder Senior VP/Ticket Sales & Service Brian Byrnes noted the team has also sold more than 3,000 new season tickets and has had a 93% renewal rate for the coming season, figures that Byrnes said place the team in the top four of the league in both categories. "Clearly we've had an opportunity to leverage the enthusiasm in the market and the sense of engagement that fans have with this team," he said. There also has been demand for the team's eight- and 20-game ticket packages, as 1,200 of those have been sold so far. Byrnes sees the packages as a way of getting what he calls the "next generation of season-ticket holders" involved in the Thunder experience. Byrnes: "We believe very strongly in that as a tool for folks to engage with the Thunder, be a part of the experience, develop habits in terms of going to games and being a part of it." Another area where the team has seen tremendous interest is in the area of corporate sponsorships. Thunder VP/Corporate Communications & Community Relations Dan Mahoney reported the team has had 94% of its corporate sponsors renew, placing it in the top five in the league in that area, and has had more new sponsors sign on than the team had in their first two seasons in OKC. Mahoney said the new sponsors have come from all areas of business. "They see the type of business we put together, the type of team we put together, how valued it is in the community, and obviously that provides value to them as sponsors," he said.
ROOM TO GROW: Despite all of this success, the team has some room to grow in only its third season in Oklahoma. Byrnes: "We really are thinking about developing our brand and continuing to invite new consumers to be a part of the Thunder experience." One of the primary focuses of this philosophy has been efforts to grow the Thunder brand outside of Oklahoma City. Byrnes said Tulsa has been a "very important and emerging market" for the team. Efforts to grow the Thunder there have included a number of appearances in the city this offseason, including playing a preseason game there two weeks ago. Team officials also have focused on Wichita, Kan., where Thunder broadcasts are available on FS Southwest, in efforts to grow the fan base. The team offered a clinic for kids in Wichita recently, and Byrnes said the city was "very responsive" to it. Byrnes said the increased focus on Tulsa, Wichita and other areas has paid off in the form of heightened group sales and sales of ticket packages, especially an eight-game weekend ticket package, to fans outside Oklahoma City. "We're starting to see the results of our regionalism and we think that's an important development in growing the brand," he said.
PAYING TRIBUTE: The team's focus on growth is echoed in its "Rise Together" marketing campaign, which returns for a second consecutive year and features print, in-arena, TV, radio and digital elements. After primarily taking a team-centric approach in last year's marketing efforts, this year the Thunder are paying tribute to their fans, whose enthusiasm became nationally renowned during last year's playoffs. Two different ad campaigns have recently launched as part of "Rise Together" in the buildup to the season, and both heavily feature Thunder fans. In the first, fans are shown experiencing the Thunder brand in eight different locations throughout Oklahoma City, including people's homes, parks, bars and restaurants and at Oklahoma City Arena. The team invited more than 200 season-ticket holders to star in the ads. Byrnes said, "It's folks who are watching us on TV, it's folks who live 50 miles away from downtown that are demonstrating their Thunder spirit, it's folks who are in all walks of life -- from the family settings, to the business-to-business settings, to the social experience." The second campaign contains similar elements, but features fans and players side-by-side repeating the same phrase about what it means to be a Thunder fan. Byrnes said the team in "Rise Together" is hoping to create a sense of the community "rallying around and valuing the NBA in Oklahoma City." Byrnes: "The marketing campaign this year is intended to recreate and re-simulate that sense of engagement, that being a Thunder fan is more than just going to the game. Being a Thunder fan is being proud to have the NBA in our hometown."

It is his most precious possession, which he balks at the thought of giving up. His little black book ' now often silver, blue, or even pink ' is always at his fingertips. Professionally, he is at his wit's end without it. He might claim that family ties are stronger with the 12 little buttons in his pocket, but mom definitely feels otherwise...
Some people and their cell phones! They have become inseparable.
When 58 per cent of young Calcuttans, working and studying, teenager to mid-30s, declare in a survey conducted by Mode for Metro on Sunday that the tiny (and getting tinier) gadget they grasp in their hands has become a lifeline, it is clear that telephony has invaded our collective consciousness.
Around 23 per cent reveal they can't stand to be separated from their set, even in the bathroom!
The mobile phone is no longer a tool of necessity. For the user, it is a rather dependent relationship of love as much as of need, writing its own rules and bringing with it a sense of community. Around 39 per cent ranked it their most important gadget, above landlines, computers, microwaves, cars and even ousting the TV from its hallowed space in our hearts.
But precious as they may be to our lives, every cell phone has still been dropped an average of 6.5 times, admit respondents!
Professional and personal
While all those surveyed agreed that the cell has enhanced professional communication, most users ' 98 per cent ' are footing the bill themselves. Average monthly billing is still modest ' just above Rs 548.
Again, contrary to the professional benefits most claimed, it is friends who are being called and are calling the most. Around 43 per cent of respondents said they used their cell to call or contact friends the most frequently.
If you've heard too much about cell smut this week, here is some good news. A total 99 per cent of polled users feel their handheld has enhanced family interaction, and 98 per cent add that it has completely changed the way they interact with family and friends. Most calls made last between two and three minutes.
Word versus voice
The common crib point may be that the young are constantly SMSing, but most respondents pegged daily text message count at just five.
However, the text format does have its loyalists. Around 83 per cent use SMS, with the percentage significantly higher in the student category. Over 96 per cent of boys and 92 per cent of girls use it regularly. Across all users, 76 per cent admit to having conveyed important information over SMS, and 27 per cent recount a spat over SMS.
'Messages are a real convenience. It doesn't seem like an intrusion when you message someone, it doesn't matter if they are busy or in a meeting,' explains a 26-year-old professional hooked to the medium.
But professionally, voice continues to score over word, with a majority not preferring to call for business baatein.
For others, it has been a tool to shed inhibitions of a sexual nature. Many users report sending or receiving flirtatious or even more graphic sexual messages.
The Siemens Mobile Lifestyle Survey 2004 conducted in Asia found that 29 per cent of Indians send 'for your eyes only pictures' and 17 per cent 'like to talk dirty through the phone'. Almost 25 per cent admitted to sending messages to wrong numbers to 'meet someone new'.
With so much action happening, it should come as no surprise that in Calcutta, around 62 per cent switch off their phones only at night.
Tech tide
Calls, however, are still the driver for the business. 'Acquisition is driven by voice. As we move on, there will be a convergence of technology. Right now it is too premature to say if it will become an acquisition tool,' feels Kumar Ramanathan, CEO, Hutch (Calcutta).
The Ravirajs may come and go, but cell phone culture is still evolving because of changing needs and customer profile as much as emerging technologies.
'It depends on the ability to adopt technology, to make it more user-friendly and relevant,' adds Ramanathan.
Music is big, gaming is great, video streaming is being developed with the 3G wave. For the 12 per cent of respondents who feel that a cell phone is a fashion statement, such frills ' the fancier the better ' are must-haves.
Another focus on growth is cutting across boundaries. Mobile penetration is not only widening, it is deepening, with the number of multi-cell phone homes on the rise.
'People are going out more often so even housewives are on the move,' says Ramanathan. Second ownership is an indication of the spread of use for personal purposes, not just business. 'Children under 15 are sometimes given phones with outgoing calls disabled to help parents keep in touch.'
Always on call
At the end of the day ' or the beginning ' it's all about accessibility. And the perceived professional benefits are still strong. Around 95 per cent of those surveyed actually like being accessible to office, all the time. Around 93 per cent feel more in control of their work environment, cell phone in hand.
Accessibility has marginal downsides too. Many people choose not to take calls and some switch off phones on occasion. It annoys 81 per cent of users to find a person they are trying to call has switched off their phone. For others, it can be a source of anxiety.
'Most visiting cards still don't have mobile numbers despite the fact that it is a clear product enhancement tool,' points out Ramanathan.
For professionals in emergency services, the cell is both welcome and worrisome. 'For those in surgery, it takes away concentration the moment it rings. But it also makes doctors more accessible and reachable and facilitates regular follow-ups with patients in hospital,' feels radiologist Suman Sarawgi.
There are a few times when the Calcuttan feels taking a call is inappropriate. A reassuring 96 per cent feel it is wrong to talk on the phone while driving. Teachers will take heart that 96 per cent say taking a call during a lecture should be avoided. During a puja or memorial, 83 per cent advocate silence cells. But during parties, social calls and meal times, few raise an objection to the ring.

Where We Live: Lansdowne on the Potomac, in Virginia's Loudoun County
Saturday, July 31, 2010
The first thing house hunters typically notice about Lansdowne on the Potomac is the neighborhood's aesthetic: the manicured lawns, the landscaped common areas, the decorative street signs and the manmade waterfall near the entrance.
Next, they notice the amenities, such as the 30,000-square-foot Potomac Club, which boasts indoor and outdoor pools, exercise and aerobics rooms, a business center and meeting rooms, and a ballroom.
Then they may notice the proximity to the Potomac River, the ease of accessing commuter roads such as Route 7 and the family-friendly environment.
"We bought our house here after we saw all the amenities Lansdowne has to offer, and when we saw the kind of people who were walking around -- lots of families, but with a good mix of empty-nesters and other folks, too," said John Whitbeck, 34, a lawyer in Leesburg who serves as president of the Lansdowne Homeowners Association Board of Directors. "You're close to the river, you're close to restaurants -- you've got everything you need right here."
Development of Lansdowne on the Potomac, with 1,442 houses and 713 townhouses between Route 7 and the Potomac in eastern Loudoun County, started in the late 1990s, with most residents arriving in 2003 and 2004.
John Beckley, 43, a district manager for Potbelly Sandwich Works, said the community's new homes with modern design features were a major factor in his decision to move into a five-bedroom house there earlier this year.
Beckley, who had lived in Montgomery County his whole life, said he and his girlfriend, Vivian Lee, looked at houses in Potomac and Bethesda but were turned off by high prices for houses that were a few decades old.
"I was very impressed with the newness out here, and just with how beautiful the community is," Beckley said. "The common areas are accessible and user-friendly. All the amenities are close to state-of-the-art. It just felt like the kind of new development I could not find in Maryland."
Though Lansdowne on the Potomac is relatively new, it has already established a bevy of traditions, including a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving, an Oktoberfest in the fall and a holiday party in winter.
The homeowners association sponsors a summer concert series in the neighborhood's amphitheater on Saturday nights throughout the summer.
"Everyone brings lawn chairs and sits in the amphitheater to listen to these great local bands," Whitbeck said. "Local vendors come with food, kids run around and play, and it's just a great family activity."
Though the association's board of directors is made up of neighborhood residents, they pay a full-time general manager and other staff members to handle such things as adherence to covenants, facility maintenance and groundskeeping. Residents say having such a highly organized homeowners association has pros and cons.
"What's great is that we have a cohesive, consistent community that's well maintained," Beckley said. "The downside is that it can be restrictive at times."
Other drawbacks to living in Lansdowne on the Potomac are mostly related to the distance from downtown Washington -- a roughly 40-mile trek.
Before moving to Lansdowne, "I was much more centrally located in Maryland, but it's a trade-off I was willing to make," Beckley said. "This place is a good fit for someone who doesn't mind going further out. You really can get a heck of a lot more house for your money than you can closer to D.C."
The neighborhood is a bit far from Washington, but that doesn't mean it's void of entertainment options, with shopping, restaurants, movie theaters and other diversions conveniently located.
"The number of retailers we have nearby is amazing," Beckley said. "We have a Wegmans, a Costco, a Bonefish [Grill] and all sorts of other good restaurants and high-end shopping within a few miles."
Plus, Whitbeck said, being removed from Washington isn't necessarily a bad thing:
"We have the accessibility of a typical Northern Virginia suburb, but we're tucked away far enough that we get an escape from the hectic life we all live in the D.C. area."
That's one of many factors that contribute to a sense that the neighborhood is family-friendly, which helped draw Lisa Picciolo to Lansdowne on the Potomac six years ago.
"I really liked that there were so many families with kids," said Picciolo, 41, a real estate agent with Weichert's Gierer-Picciolo Team and a mother of twin 7-year-old boys. "There's a great sense of community among the families here."
That's a draw even for residents who don't have kids.
"It's a bedroom community, and it feels like a bedroom community -- friendly and quiet," Beckley said. "This place is a breath of fresh air."

Bhubaneswar, July 17: A visitor to the Orissa capital this month spent two hours frantically searching for organic turmeric.
Directed to the sales outlet of Orissa Marketing Federation (Omfed), he was disappointed when informed that the outlet had run out of stocks. But finally the precious haldi was traced to a small shop at the back of Ekamra Haat, Bhubaneswars equivalent of Dilli Haat, showcasing handicrafts and products made by tribals.
The golden yellow Kandhamal haldi, named after the district where it is produced, is creating ripples in the world of spices. The spice has made its way to shelves across the United States, several countries in Europe, including Germany and Netherlands, besides Japan because of its organic value. It smells just right, lasts longer and only a pinch adds the colour and the flavour to the food. And it is of course devoid of toxic elements and chemicals.
Turmeric is not the only spice grown in Kandhamal and adjoining areas. And all of them retain the special quality. It happened virtually by default because the poor tribals could not afford to buy inorganic, chemical fertilisers , which enhanced the yield but affected the quality. Their farming has been sustained with hard work and local ideas folklore speak of how tribes would kill a male child and offer its blood to the field so that the crops (turmeric) colour matches that of the blood.
In the district, about 12,000 hectare is diverted for turmeric cultivation and dry haldi weighing 10,000 metric tonne is produced every year. Kandhamal haldi is famous for its colour, texture, aroma, flavour and long shelf life.
The curcumic content in it is claimed to be the highest in the country, to be recognised soon by the Union Control of Holland, a certifying agency engaged to certify its purity.
The spices are being marketed by Omfed, Aryan International, New Delhi; Samiter India, Mumbai; ABC International, Bangalore and Aricha Trading, Calcutta. But as the experience in Bhubaneswar shows, most of it gets exported. Till 2003, however, traders from Berhampur continued to purchase dry turmeric from tribals for paltry sums.
However, the idea of organised turmeric farming on Kandhamal terrain stuck Omfed. It started a government-sponsored project called Kandhamal Womens Organic Turmeric project (KWOTP) in 2003.
Recalling the days, P.G. Dora, the general manager of the centrally-sponsored scheme, said: Initially, we thought of poultry and fishery. But soon, we realised the potential for turmeric plantation. Each family in the district had at least a field where they grew turmeric. We knew that if we could channelise the whole thing, there would be no stopping. Soon, societies were formed, training imparted, improved varieties of seed were supplied and marketing of the product under the brand Kandhamal haldi started.
Currently Omfed directly supervises 305 all-women societies that work for the project and the production has leaped form 250 quintal to 2,937 quintals in a span of four years. This apart the product is being processed and packaged to be sold though Omfeds existing distribution channel (marketing outlets and booths) across the state.
This apart, two other units named Samanwita and Kasam, who have their processing plant where the Omfed turmeric is packed and independently marketed.
Exporting is no childs play. We need to be very particular in terms of hygiene, design and packaging. There was an instance when a whole consignment was returned after one packet had a hair inside it, said Pramod Pattnaik, secretary of Kasam that has 61 societies working under it.
Despite all this, the domestic market seems ignorant about the quality of the product. Many here do not understand the concept of organic spices. Its very difficult to explain the difference between the Rs 45 per kg Kandhamal haldi and the Rs 10 per kg haldi available in the market, said Pattnaik.

Automated Cloud Infrastructure
Budget $30-250 USD
We have some components that need to be setup with a "productionised" infrastructure.
We have 3 EC2 servers setup and deployed to a point. 3 our of 2 components are in place and running correctly. To support continuous deployment we need to be able to repeat this setup on the push of a button (CI).
1. We need to install a tomcat instance into nexus which can be downloaded and installed as part of a script/puppet
2. We need to deploy 3 applications to EC2 servers (1 per application).
3. We need to setup port forwarding on the nodes so that localhost: will forward to an RDS MySql instance
4. We need to setup an apache server to manage sticky sessions and load to an application server also EC2
4.a. The setup of these apache instances to support N EC2 nodes.
4.b. 1 EC2 apache node per application
5. We need to setup zone routing to the apache instances so that these can be resolved on a convenient domain.
The final state of the project for final payment is as follows
Final state that we want is as follows;
1. Auto configured apache server forwarding requests to the appropriate server(s)
1.a. Initial setup will have just one node per app, however when we go live we would have at least 2 app server nodes to support some redundancy
1.b. the tomcat instances on the node will be independent and not be aware of other tomcat instances
1.c. sticky sessions would be maintained
1.d. Template server can be deployed in nexus
1.e. Script/puppet to download and configure specific hosts if needed
2. Configured node with tomcat
2.a. template tomcat instance can be deployed in nexus
2.b. script/puppet to download and configure anything specific
2.c. setup port forwarding to so as to resolve a remote mysql database on localhost
3. Deployed applications
3.a. Identity application
3.a.1. Stand alone web application with a database
3.b. Receipt web application
3.b.1. stand alone web application which connects to the receipt json app
3.c. Receipt json services application
[url removed, login to view] alone web application with a database that exposes RESTful JSON interfaces
End of the project would have each application deployed successfully on their own domains and communicating successfully with their database and components

All still mad here! Things are going ok. Trouble with old houses is that once you start looking at things you tend to find more things that need doing. So far these have been:
The discovery of a wormy old floorboard that has led to us deciding on a plywood floor in the small shower room we're putting in. Joists were all sound - thank god!
The need for various improvements to the electrics in the house. We nned a proper earth bond (congratulations if you know what that is!) and is about time we got a proper fuse board with trip switches too.
We asked the builder to have a look at what could be causing damp upstairs. (We have damp in the basement that is just caused by solid walls and condensation and so on and is requiring some creative wiring to avoid the damp back wall. The boxes behind the plugs embedded in that back wall were completely corroded by damp - erk!) Anyway, the upstairs damp was being caused by cracked rendering on the front of the house. Builder has filled a crack but told us that most of the rendering on the front of the house has blown and we'll need to start saving to get it re-rendered next year!
Apart from all this, the new kitchen is looking good. For the last couple of days we've had our cooker on one floorand the rest of the kitchen on another - which makes for interesting cooking experiences. I've been too chicken but Dani managed to cook pasta and home made sauce.
Got to go, as P has asked me to find her a list of hard spellings. Both kids were able to do nearly all of a list in a KS3 book we were just looking in.
One positive story ...from the USA

Manchester City fear another group of death in Champions League draw
Manchester City face the prospect of being landed with another group of death when the Champions League draw is made in Monaco. City's previous failures mean they are seeded in the third pot of four and are again likely to face a difficult passage to the knockout stages.
Last season City came bottom of a group that included eventual finalists Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid and Ajax, failing to win a single match. The previous season Bayern Munich and Napoli squeezed City out even though Roberto Mancini's team took maximum points from Villarreal.
Mancini had a poor Champions League record, reaching the quarter-finals only twice in seven attempts with Lazio, Internazionale and City. This season City have Manuel Pellegrini in charge. The Chilean reached the semi-finals with Villarreal in 2006, when they lost to Arsenal, and the last eight last season with Malaga but was knocked out in the round of 16 in his one season at Real Madrid.
City's worst-case scenario is any one of Bayern, Barcelona and Real from Pot One, plus Paris Saint-Germain and Rafa Benitez's Napoli. It would be a glamorous and wealthy quartet, but also a devilishly difficult group. Alternatively, even from Pot Three, City could get Porto or Benfica, plus Schalke 04, who have made a poor start to the Bundesliga, and Austria Vienna; a logistically undemanding group from which they would expect to qualify.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all top seeds so will avoid the defending champions Bayern and the Spanish giants. But they could be drawn against PSG, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli. United and Chelsea have both been knocked out in the group stage in recent seasons but Arsenal have remained in the competition past Christmas for the last 13 seasons.
Celtic will be in the fourth pot, condemning them to a tough draw, but they qualified last season from a section that featured Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow so should not be fearful even if two of the heroes of that run, Victor Wanyama and Gary Hooper, have moved south.
As well as the desire to win the competition, progress would help City's chances of securing a higher seeding next season. Seeding is based on a club's performances over five seasons, plus a share of the performances of teams from the same country.
The 32 qualifying teams have been seeded into four pots. One team is drawn from each pot to make a group. Teams from the same country cannot be drawn in the same group.
Champions League: How the draw works
Pot One Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, Porto, Benfica.
Pot Two Atletico Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Schalke 04, Marseilles, CSKA Moscow, Paris SG, Milan, Juventus.
Pot Three Zenit St Petersburg, Manchester City, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund, Basel, Olympiakos, Galatasaray, Bayer Leverkusen.
Pot Four Real Sociedad, Copenhagen, Napoli, Anderlecht, Celtic, Steaua Bucharest, Viktoria Plzen, Austria Vienna.

Buster Phantom
The Biggest Buster Ever
The Buster Phantom with its imperial 32 feet / 9.5metre LOA, 700hp twin Yamaha outboards, 16 roaring cylinders and 400nM range redefines the premium civilian aluminium open boat segment. However, the effects of gravity and wave action are counterbalanced through the silky smooth ride of the hull, together with suspension seats for up to five passengers. Did we mention that the new Buster Phantom is also blisteringly quick? Despite its speed potential, the Phantom is amazingly quiet. Options abound, and the huge U sofa aft, combined with the cockpit table and two swivelling fixed seats, allow for socialising with friends and family.

TV SPORTS; This Revolution Will Be Televised
By Richard Sandomir
Published: December 24, 1993
Norman Braman wants to congratulate himself. Go ahead, Norman.
"A few of us saved the league $800 million or a billion dollars," said Braman, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles.
What did he do? Braman and nine other owners set the stage for Fox's $1.58 billion bid for the TV rights to the National Football Conference, forcing CBS out of football.
Without the Gang of 10, Fox's entry would have been impossible.
On March 31, 1992, defying the wishes of Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and the majority of owners, the Gang of 10 forced the National Football League to junk a proposal to grant financial relief to the networks: a $238 million rebate on 1993 by reducing per team payments from $41 million to $32.5 million plus a two-year extension at that level.
The plan needed a 21-7 vote for passage. But it was Gang-tackled. A $1 million-per-team rollback was eventually approved, with no extension at all. It was embarrassing for Tagliabue and disappointing for the networks.
The Gang did not fully swallow the networks' reports of big 1993 losses, including NBC's $88 million red-ink projection.
"We felt it was wrong," Braman said, "when they said that if we didn't give back that money and roll back to $32.5 million, we'd only get 28, 28, 28, 28 million for the next four years."
In the new deal, each club will get $39.5 million.
"It was a negative period of time," said Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. "It was the wrong time to think about rolling back the rights fee."
"I never believed there'd be a shortfall," Braman said.
That raises the question: what did the Gang know about Fox's intentions, and when did it know them?
Braman said when the rollback was defeated, he knew Rupert Murdoch's Fox was stalking in the background. "We knew there'd be other partners," he said. And Braman said he has a friend in the Fox hierarchy. "I spoke to him before the summer and all he asked was that Fox not be used for leverage or cannon fodder," Braman said.
Jones said Braman never told him of his Fox friend. But, he said, "Anybody who has followed our negotiations knew there'd be other interested parties."
Pat Bowlen, the Denver Broncos' owner, favored the 1992 rollback, but negotiated the Fox deal with Jones. He said: "Any genius who said they knew about Fox in 1992 is full of it. No one knew they were out there."
Fox's approach in the final talks put CBS, and even NBC, at a disadvantage. Fox wanted to buttress its network with a huge programming coup. For others, football is one big piece in their sports packages.
"I felt very strongly that we should be an asset value," Jones said. "Fox did. The others didn't talk about how we'd increase the value of their stations or the value of packaging us with other programs."
Jones unsurprisingly played down reports that Fox will lose upward of $700 million.
"In no way do I concede that Fox will use the N.F.C. for a little while and get out," he said.
But he makes a good point: The demand for a big-ticket product like the N.F.L. may increase as major corporations vie to fill up the gaping hole that will be the still-forming information superhighway.
The Gang of 10 looks smart now for having resisted the rollback, and having the sense to wait for Fox to alter the market. But their prescience will have to wait until Murdoch says in three years: "Mate, can I have a rollback?"
On another point, Jones said he expected Fox's many UHF stations to upgrade their signals to the level of CBS's, a point not lost in Dallas, where only half of those eligible have cable television and receiving Fox's KDAF-TV may be difficult.
"I told Jerry that I'm buying the rabbit-ears concession in Dallas," Bowlen said. The New Czar in Town
Matt Guokas, the former coach of the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic, begins as Marv Albert's partner on NBC basketball tomorrow night for the Magic-Bulls game. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing for me," said Guokas, another recruit to NBC's ex-coach halfway house. He succeeds the Czar of the Telestrator, Mike Fratello, who ran from Albert to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers. So far, the playfully acerbic Albert has been gentle to Guokas in a practice game and other contacts. "I'm sure I'll be ready for anything," Guokas said. Will the Orlando Oligarch smoothly replace the Czar? Only Marv knows. So What About QVC?
Although WPIX-TV and the MSG Network will meet after Jan. 1 to discuss the fate of Yankee games on free TV, the venom and mistrust being exchanged makes a deal difficult to imagine. Both have to give in, significantly, but each side has bedrock financial positions. In one financial scenario, employing WPIX's demand, thus far scuttled, that MSG recognize the value of the three and a half hours it devotes to games, the parties would split $18 million in losses. "I'd lose $9 million if they would," said Michael Eigner, WPIX's general manager, who proposed arbitration if a deal can't be reached. AIRWAVES
NBC may not want to topple its salary structure to snare CBS's JOHN MADDEN, but TERRY BRADSHAW would dramatically transform NBC's humdrum studio show. . . . CBS's hope to add college football in 1995 is hurt by College Football Association's tentative new agreement with ABC to a four-year extension through 1999. . . . ABC, Hong Kong's Star TV, Africa's Filmnet and Britain's Sky TV will stage a biennial golf tournament with $2 million in prize money pitting the Ryder Cup winner against a team from the Southern Hemisphere. . . . As part of the new TV deal, Fox will have an hourlong Sunday pre-game studio show and will probably air a youth-oriented football show like NBC's "Inside Stuff" basketball program. . . . Five days after the ESPN/ Dick Clark World Cup draw show from Las Vegas, I'm still contemplating BARRY MANILOW's connection to soccer. Oh yes, he wrote "I Write the Ties"? Right?

Solomon Is Crowned King
1st Kings 2:1-11
When Absalom died the people were anxious to bring the king home again, they were so eager, that they quarreled among themselves because the men of Judah, David's own tribe, were the first to bring him on his way to Jerusalem.
The quarrel ended and the men of Israel again revolted from the king. Joab who was a skillful soldier, though he was a very bad man, succeeded in putting down the insurrection.
David's troubles were not over yet. First famine and then bad diseases in which seventy thousand of the people died, came upon his kingdom.
When David was old and feeble, near death, his son Adonijah set himself up to be king after his father instead of Solomon, whom God had appointed to succeed David.
Adonijah had taken upon himself royal status. Joab and other officers of the kingdom were with him, and the people acknowledged him as king. News of this was brought to David, who at once decided to prevent disputes about the succession after his death by having Solomon crowned during his own lifetime.
He called Nathan the priest, Zadok the prophet, and Benaiah the captain of his guard, and told them, with a number of his officers to take Solomon, and, place him upon the king's mule (which it was death for any subject to ride), bring him down to Gihon, a fountain near Jerusalem, and there, with sound of trumpet, anoint, and proclaim him king over Israel.
They took him there and proclaimed him king the people followed and shouted "God save King Solomon!" till the city rang again.
Adonijah and his friends were at this time rejoicing together and while they were feasting, one of his soldiers came and told them that David had made Solomon king of Israel.
When they heard this, they were so frightened that each one ran away as quietly as he could. Adonijah, fearing that his life might be in danger for attempting to seize the kingdom, fled to the altar for protection. Anyone who laid hold of the horns of the altar was considered under God's protection, and therefore safe from his enemies.
Solomon sent for him, promising him safety if he submitted to him. Adonijah went and did homage to his brother, who let him go home peaceably. Soon after this David died, and was buried at Jerusalem.

Residence Hall Recipes
Let's face it: cooking in residence halls is almost impossible. And for me, cooking in general is pretty impossible. So when faced with the task of feeding myself in college, the prospects were pretty bleak.
And I'm a student who doesn't even like to cook. I feel bad for students who love to cook, but don't have a place to do so successfully. Because let's be honest, the community fridge is sort of a free for all (although I admit to nothing).
Also, where are you supposed to store cooking utensils? Storage space is limited as it is. Perhaps you could leave your cooking supplies in the floor's kitchen, but there are definite trust issues there. I wouldn't necessarily want my pot to become the community pot; that would be plain unsanitary. I'm assuming. Or maybe I'm just selfish with my saucepans.
With all of this in mind, I have scoured the internet, researched for hours and hours, just in order to bring to you the best recipes that would be easy to make in a dorm room, recipes I will be sharing and detailing my own possibly-disastrous experiences with. It's going to be a lot of fun.
So, first on the list (drum roll please…): Top Ramen!
No, but actually. This recipe is what I will call 'upscale' ramen— special ramen made all within the comforts of your own residence hall. This recipe is ridiculously easy, not even I could mess it up this time around.
Needed ingredients:
Ramen (duh)
One egg (or two if you like eggs)
Spice of your choice (I chose a nice Creole seasoning, on sale at the local Fred Meyer)
The first problem I encountered while making this meal was what to cook it in. At first I thought I was going to resort to the microwave, but luckily there was a clean pot in the kitchen unattended on the stove (see, this is why I would have trust issues).
Once you have a pot, it should be relatively smooth sailing.
Step one: boil water. How much water you may ask? Good question. I just eyeballed it, the package says two cups but nobody left any measuring cups in the kitchen for me to use.
Step two: put the block of ramen into the pot. Or crush it up first, whatever works best for your ramen needs.
Step three: beat your egg in a cup, and then remove ramen from stove top when done. Then, (this is the really fun part) pour the egg slowly into the ramen as you stir. This was my first time making ramen with egg in it, and watching the egg cook itself just about blew my mind.
Step four: pour ramen into a bowl, then add spice to taste (I recommend Creole but that's just me).
Step five: enjoy!
If I'm going to be honest here, I was not expecting this recipe to go well. I thought it was going to be kind of disgusting, but I was ready to try residence hall cooking and see how it worked out. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the end result. It was a solid 7.8/10, would make again, if only to use more of the large container of Creole seasoning I bought.

What started as a trip through the drive-thru quickly turned into a life-saving mission for an employee at the Pal's on Volunteer Parkway in Bristol on Tuesday.
A customer was in line waiting for her food, but in a flash, that all changed.
"She told us, 'somebody help me, he's not breathing,does anyone know CPR,'" Pal's employee Kaela Eads said. "Well my first instinct, in a blink of an eye, is to go."
Surveillance video shows the mother rushing to the window asking for help because her toddler wasn't breathing.
The next thing she knew, Eads sprung into action, giving the seemingly lifeless child CPR and eventually reviving him.
"He would breathe for me for a second and then he would stop," Eads said. "I would continue again and then towards the end, before the ambulance got here, I got him to breathe constantly, but it was very faint."
The 18-year-old learned CPR in high school and never thought she would use her training, but emergency workers, who were there within minutes, told Tri-Cities NBC-affiliate WCYB it helped save a life.
"Just knowing that something was wrong and they stepped into action and did what they felt needed to be done did make a difference," Steven Carroll from the Bristol, TN Fire & Rescue said.
After work, Eads eventually headed to the hospital that night to check on the little boy. She told us he seemed to be doing well as he watched cartoons.
"It's something I'll remember forever," Eads said. "That blank stare in his eyes whenever I first started to seeing him in the hospital was a total change and it was amazing."
Eads said she just started the morning shift and had this been a day later, she wouldn't have been working.
She also said after this night a lot of her co-workers want to get CPR certified.

The Conflicting Science on Multivitamins
For optimal health, should you pop a multivitamin or skip it? Thats a tough question, considering the research over the past few years: A number of large, well-designed studies have found no heart-health or cancer-reducing benefit linked to taking daily multivitamins. So, it was with much fanfare that the results from the National Institutes of Health-funded Physicians Health Study II were released in November 2012. The Harvard study was the only large-scale, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that looked at the long-term effects of multivitamins on the health of more than 14,000 men over more than 10 years.

Individuals or companies who are owed money employ debt collectors as an appointed agent. Consumer debt makes up the majority of the workload. Commercial debt collection involves retrieving money owed by businesses.
Work Activities
Consumer debt collection nowadays makes up the majority of the workload of a debt collector. This involves collecting money from members of the public who have not paid debts such as mail order catalogue repayments or credit card bills.
In the case of personal debt, a debt collector contacts the debtor in writing or by telephone to ask for the debt to be settled. They may, at this stage, listen to the reasons for non-payment and offer appropriate advice based on the debtor's circumstances. For example, alternative methods of payment might be suggested. Debt collectors always try to reach a settlement with the debtor that is also acceptable to the creditor.
A field debt collector visits the customer's home if payment is not received. Only as a last resort does a debt collector start legal proceedings. At this stage a bailiff may be employed by a creditor to seize a debtor's goods or assets.
In commercial debt collection large amounts of money can be owed. A debt collector contacts the company by letter or telephone. If there is no response they threaten legal action and if the company still does not pay, legal proceedings start.
Debt collectors can specialise in international work. Foreign debt collection companies and legal professionals may be contracted to assist with this. Other debt collectors may specialise as trace agents looking for debtors who have vanished. Debt collectors may also serve and summons High Court writs.
Personal Qualities and Skills
As a debt collector you should be patient but assertive. You must be able to remain calm, tactful and understanding in relatively distressing situations. The work demands excellent negotiation skills since debt collectors must discuss with the debtor and creditor how the debt can be settled.
You would need to keep accurate records of all correspondence with debtors. These are stored on computer, so it is helpful if you have keyboard skills and some knowledge of computers. Some mathematical ability is necessary for calculating how much the debtor could pay.
There are no minimum qualifications for entry to this job. However, some entrants have academic qualifications. For example, graduates may be recruited into trainee management positions. The Irish Institute of Credit Management runs relevant courses.
Candidates are advised to check the prospectus of each individual institution for further information.

It would be fun to see Google present SERPs as screen dumps � la Alexa (I've seen MSN referrals from such result pages but never actually found the form to do those searches, then, I rarely use MSN Search).
Actually, I'm not aware of a particular test like that. But it wouldn't surprise me if someone was trying it. :)

Shiller is a professor at Yale University. He is joined by Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen, who both teach at the University of Chicago.None of this, by the way, is economics. The actual profession of managing, organizing, distributing social wealth does not find its end in determining the prices of homes, stocks, and assets for the sole purpose of beating the market. As for Fama, the man behind the ridiculous efficient market hypothesis (market prices tell us the truth about what's really going on), he is not only not an economist, he is not much of a financial adviser (which is what we tend to call economists today):
The award was for their work on the pricing of financial assets. Together they concluded that predicting the price of stocks and bonds in the short term is virtually impossible. But they showed it is possible to forecast the broad course of prices over longer periods, such as the three to five years.
hiller was among those who warned in the 1990s that the run-up in stock prices as part of the Internet stock bubble was the result of "irrational exuberance."
Last decade, Shiller made similar warnings about the run-up in U.S. home prices. That proved to be correct when the housing bubble burst and plunged the nation into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
He helped to develop the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index, which is one of the most closely watched measures of home values.
Fama and Hansen are not as well known as Shiller outside the field of economics.
Starting in the 1960s, Fama helped to demonstrate that new information is quickly incorporated into stock prices, a fact that makes short-term price predictions difficult.
Hansen developed a statistical method that was well suited to testing theories of asset pricing, the committee said.
I met Eugene Fama in his office at the Booth School of Business. I began by pointing out that the efficient markets hypothesis, which he promulgated in the nineteen-sixties and nineteen-seventies, had come in for a lot of criticism since the financial crisis began in 1987, and I asked Fama how he thought the theory, which says prices of financial assets accurately reflect all of the available information about economic fundamentals, had fared.Yes, the man who just won a whole "Nobel" prize for economics doesn't have an idea of what an asset bubble is. Why? Because it doesn't fit into his perfect picture of an efficient market, a market that represents real values—if, that is, the government does not distort them with subsides and tariffs. But what all of this shows us is that these men (and they are almost all men) replaced economics, which is democratic, with a view of economics from the point of those who have lots of money and want to make more of it.
Eugene Fama: I think it did quite well in this episode. Stock prices typically decline prior to and in a state of recession. This was a particularly severe recession. Prices started to decline in advance of when people recognized that it was a recession and then continued to decline. There was nothing unusual about that. That was exactly what you would expect if markets were efficient.
Many people would argue that, in this case, the inefficiency was primarily in the credit markets, not the stock market—that there was a credit bubble that inflated and ultimately burst.
I don't even know what that means. People who get credit have to get it from somewhere. Does a credit bubble mean that people save too much during that period? I don't know what a credit bubble means. I don't even know what a bubble means. These words have become popular. I don't think they have any meaning.
I composed this post here, which I leave today, and which is outside of Bologna...

In 2015, Dawn-Louise Kerr and her team from SM2COMMUNICATE took over running the twitter hour each week (The hashtag was originally set up by a local archery business around the year 2000). Before 2015 there was a twitter following of just shy of 2000. Now you can see how much we have grown the following and the conversations almost up to 10,000 engaged followers on twitter alone.
Every Monday night join us between 8-9pm GMT on twitter. Around 2,000+ local businesses promote offers, find and connect with other business that they have been searching for their services, and finally there is a good old banter around what they're doing in and around Hertfordshire.
Later in 2015 it was decided to give the much loved #HertsHour a visual brand identity in order to promote its services and support its growth. #HertsHour was turned from a one hour a week conversation into an invaluable business service, connecting and promoting local businesses.
Building on the success of its weekly twitter conversation, the #HertsHour team decided to build a Networking Group and invite people to register for just £10 + VAT a month (minimum term of 6 months).
It's a great introduction to online advertising with an entry pricepoint to match. The benefit of advertising with us is that we are an established brand and are regularily talking online with people. As #HertsHour is owned by a social media agency you can guarantee the online networking and promotions happen naturally.
If you are interested in advertising with us please email us email@example.com
We introduced #HertsHour tweet-ups after many requests from the online conversations each week. People wanted to meet the other businesses behind the twitter handles that they talked to on a regular basis. We have had two successful tweet-ups now just before Christmas time over the last two years and we are planning our next one for 2017. We hope you can join us.
It's easy to take part in #HertsHour.
The more you get involved, the greater the benefit to your business. You can reach new audiences and connect with people you may not have talked to in your traditional marketing campaigns. We look forward to speaking on Monday - just remember to use the hashtag #HertsHour

Only Begotten Daughter
by James Morrow
Tied for 1991 World Fantasy Award Winner for Best Novel
I thought after the run of pretty good novels followed by two exceptionally weak ones that the World Fantasy Awards might have been entering the 90's slump that the Hugos and Nebulas had where it seemed like every winner was worse than the last one (well, except for The Terminal Experiment; you can't get worse than that). Well things have perked up again starting right here with Only Begotten Daughter.
Through a set of circumstances too unimportant to recount here a sperm donor finds that one of his samples has spontaneously started growing a fetus. He names the child Julie and she is the daughter of God. Julie's mother won't talk to her and her father is terrified that she will repeat the life of her half-brother and forbids that she perform miracles. An old friend of the family is lurking around, though, and wants Julie to do what comes naturally to her.
Religious parody is a tricky thing to do well; far too much of it comes across as a fifteen year old who has just figured out that he can shock his parents by saying that God doesn't exist. It's not enough to just trot out the same complaints of hypocrisy and illogic in Christianity (which is the target of 99% of the religious parodies that I've encountered). The author needs a sharp wit and a distance from the material to avoid turning into an angry, boring rant. Morrow for the most part succeeds in this by using a strawman religious cult as his foil and the only onscreen representative of religions which can occupy the niche of all the bad things in organized religion while only having the slightest resemblence to any major modern religions.
That isn't to say he does it perfectly. There are chunks of the novel where I felt he did descend into childish mocking. It's the kind of thing that someone who already doesn't believe can only nod their head to and it doesn't connect with those who do believe. Simply saying, in effect, "Ha ha they believe that!" doesn't really add anything.
It also helps that Morrow emphasizes the human over the divine. It is a major point in the novel that divinity is unfathomable and the characters (both natural and supernatural) struggle with that. Dealing with the tension between omnipotence and humanity is a driving force in the novel as Julie wants to help but fears losing her humanity to the obligations of power. I can't say that I agree with how the characters interpret the situation but at the same time I understand why they choose the paths they take.
The plot is a high speed dance that rapidly moves from structure to structure never dwelling in any one place for long. It dashes from set peice to set peice skipping forward in time at a breakneck speed. Morrow does an excellent job of capturing Julie's life in these vignettes and by avoiding padding the book it doesn't ever drag.
In the end I have to conclude that Only Begotten Daughter is effective. I have read better religious parodies, ones that are lighter in tone usually, but rarely one that is as effectively philisophical. Morrow has written many of these books and his similarly themed Towing Jehova won the World Fantasy Award a few years later. Just on the strength of this novel I am looking forward to reading it.

package CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::MyPlugin; ### return command => method mapping sub plugins { ( myplugin1 => 'mp1', myplugin2 => 'mp2' ) } ### method called when the command '/myplugin1' is issued sub mp1 { .... } ### method called when the command '/? myplugin1' is issued sub mp1_help { return "Help Text" }
Therefor, any plugin must be declared in that namespace, in a corresponding ".pm" file.
For example, a simple 'Hello, World!' plugin:
package CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::HW; sub plugins { return ( helloworld => 'hw' ) }; sub hw { print "Hello, world!\n" }
When the user in the default shell now issues the "/helloworld" command, this command will be dispatched to the plugin, and it's "hw" method will be called
For example, extending the above example, when a user calls "/? helloworld", the function "hw_help" will be called, which might look like this:
sub hw_help { " /helloworld # prints "Hello, world!\n" }
If you dont provide a corresponding _help function to your commands, the default shell will handle it gracefully, but the user will be stuck without usage information on your commands, so it's considered undesirable to omit the help functions.
For example, the following command:
/helloworld bob --nofoo --bar=2 joe
Would yield the following arguments:
sub hw { my $class = shift; # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::HW my $shell = shift; # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default object my $cb = shift; # CPANPLUS::Backend object my $cmd = shift; # 'helloworld' my $input = shift; # 'bob joe' my $opts = shift; # { foo => 0, bar => 2 } .... }

Jasper Ackroyd doesn't just dream of the Slow Life- he lives it. His home is a Yurt on an organic farm in Wiltshire. He lives "off the grid", relying on a gas-fired generator and solar panels for electricity, but the generator will soon be replaced by a wind turbine. He eats vegetables grown on the farm and drinks unpasteurised milk straight from the cow. He rises with the birds and goes to sleep with the birds, so that in winter he lives in what he calls a state of semi-hibernation.
Jasper makes his living from curing meat. All is explained in his website- http://www.baconwizard.co.uk/, which also contains his fascinating biography. I met Jasper at a Slow Food meeting at Prue Leith's house in the Cotswolds (see entry for July 17th) after which he kindly agreed to abandon the comfort of his Yurt to spend a few days in the Lake District teaching my chefs the art of curing pork, for which we have today supplied a whole saddle-back pig, cut neatly in two. About which, more later….

About Slow Life
The idea of Slow Life is to take the principles of Slow Food, which are "good, clean and fair", and extend them to life in general.
Here in the Lake District, the air is clean, the pace is slow and the atmosphere is calm. If we don't grow food ourselves, we can buy it in friendly small shops, where you know the quality is going to be the best.
This blog is a celebration of the Slow Life, with forays into the world of design, music, the arts, gardens, and my particular weakness, Japan.

Unanswered: Field Size Limit
I have a field that is limited to 255 characters. Is there a way to increase to say 500 characters?
It is set up in the table as "short text". When I try to change it to long text I get a message saying it is not supported for this type.
Thanks for any help

255 is the limit for a Text column. The only thing you can do is to switch from Text to Memo. Be aware that there are several restrictions when using Memo columns (see Access help).Have a nice day!

In Access 2013 the memo field is now called "Long Text". The field in question is for documenting the details of a repair and I just need some more characters.
I tried to change the data type but I get a message saying that data type is not supported (long text).
Does this have to do with the relationships of the tables?

I figured out what I was doing wrong. My database is split and I tried to alter the front end which is incorrect. I went into the backend and changed the field to long text.
Sometimes the easiest solution is too obvious.

Working primarily in a Heath Care environment, I've used Memo fields extensively for a number of years, without ever having a problem. The secret is to follow one single rule:
Never, never, never place data in a Memo field if there any possibility that you will ever need to search, sort, parse or in any other way manipulate the data!
Because many Queries perform some of these functions, you have to take care in using them in Queries or they will be truncated to 255 characters.
Allen Browne has some excellent advice explaining how to deal with Memo Fields and Queries:

The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!

Rock Partridge (Alectoris graeca)
Cape Sounion is a promontory located 69 km (43 mi, by road) SSE of Athens, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece. It's noted as the site of ruins of an ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea. The ruins bear the deeply engraved name of English Romantic poet Lord Byron (1788–1824).

To prove the use of Silverlight in Vista Sidebar Gadgets, I recently created a really simple, but good looking 😉 Sidebar Gadget with a Silverlight App embedded!
Here is what it looks like:
Don't bother about the pink animal watch 😉 The gadget basically consists of three circles which are moving around in a weird way!
To build the Silverlight App I used Expression Blend 2 May preview and Silverlight animations (took me about 2 minutes).
The most trickiest part was implementing transparency:
First I wanted to create a gadget with semi-transparent ellipses (to do some kind of color-overlay/mix). This worked well, as long as it happened within Silverlight. Problems occurred with transparency outside of Silverlight, meaning the sidebar/desktop shining through.
Finally I found the trick, how to do it (thanks to Karsten Januszewsky):
What you need to do is insert a <g:background..> tag into your gadget HTML file. This special tag is supported by the Sidebar and allows you to specify a background image for the gadget.
So what I did is set the background image to an entirely transparent PNG file the same size as the gadget.
<g:background src="bg.png" id="Bg" style="position:absolute;width:130px;height:130px;z-index:-1"/>
This way, if you set the background brush of the root-canvas to transparent you'll see the background of the sidebar/desktop shine through!
One problem still left is caused by Anti-Aliasing. This technique smoothes the borders of graphical elements like here the ellipses. So the borders don't get purely yellow or red, but a mixture of both.
Unfortunately because of the hack to host silverlight in a webpage and that page in the gadget, it seems to use Magenta as transparency mask color in this case. So some pixels, mixed with yellow or red are not removed.
Right now, this can only be solved by designing a non-anti-aliased UI or using some background color!
[Update] Also read the updated versions for Silverlight 1.1 here (updated sample is attached there)!

Shturman Albanov
is the lead ship in a series of Arctic shuttle tankers ordered by Sovcomflot Group, under a long-term charter contract with Gazprom Neft. They are designed to carry crude oil from the Yamal Peninsula (YNAD) to the port of Murmansk all year-round. Each tanker has deadweight of approximately 42,000 tonnes (
Shturman Albanov
: 41,454.5 tonnes). The Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS) assigned the vessels an ice class Arc7.
Shturman Albanov
is registered under the Russian flag and has Saint Petersburg as her home port.
The design of the new vessel takes into account the specific features of the waters in the Gulf of Ob, where some areas are relatively shallow – about 10 metres deep – and which is covered with ice from October to July.
Shturman Albanov
is capable of operating in the Arctic all year-round at temperatures down to –45°С. Her propulsion system consists of two Azipod thrusters with a total capacity of 22 MW, which provides a high ice-breaking capability and good manoeuvrability in sailing through ice drifts and heavy ice fields.
