text: All right, let's just say it: Kate Middleton nailed it in this classic, elegant Alexander McQueen dress (by the brand's creative director Sarah Burton). The long-sleeve, lace gown with 8-foot-long train was perfectly suited for Kate's understated-chic style, but it still had enough drama for such a huge affair. And it fit beautifully. Wish we could say Kate's makeup also knocked it out of the park, but it was a little heavy-handed. But back to her gown and that blushing bride glow: It was modern classic, regal and simply smashing.

For many traders, the S&P 500 and the E-mini are their speculative vehicles of choice, with huge daily volume and open interest. These contracts present opportunities for day-trading profit and serve as a key tool for long-term equity investors and hedgers. The long-term investor is willing to overlook blips and corrections to achieve the big move when it occurs.
Long-term investors have different goals than short-term day-traders. The long-term investor may be interested in holding out for a big move, willing to overlook the blips and corrections along the way. These investors are typically satisfied with lower rates of success for the payoff of bigger profits when profits come. For these traders, the S&P 500 also offers significant opportunities.
The methods used to carve out those opportunities, however, may not be created equal. We will compare three models and see how much of the long-term moves we can catch. Our data set will be the closing price of the cash S&P 500 on a weekly basis. We will test a 52-week simple moving average model, a 105-week exponential moving average model and a price-action indicator with a one-year reference. Most charting vendors provide simple and exponential moving averages, so following the models should be simple.
The strategies are straightforward. On the first two, the market is sold if the current week's close moves below the average and the market is bought if the current week's close crosses above the average. The price-action indicator is computed by taking the current week's close and subtracting from it the price one year earlier (52 weekly bars). A simple three-week moving average of these prices is used to generate signals.
We can reduce false signals with the same two restrictions on all three indicators. One, we require the reading to be at least one point higher or lower on the breakout (so, a reading of -0.79 would be insufficient) and two, any reversal within four weeks following the prior signal will be ignored because it is easy to have choppiness when these signals turn. Positions will be entered immediately on the positive signal and the trade will be maintained for four weeks regardless of a reversal signal.
Our data begins in 1950, but the three-point range of the first three years makes the effective start 1953. First, we equalize the three methods. They may begin trading when the first strategy signals a trade. That date and price are fixed as the start. In this case, it's the close on Jan. 22, 1954, at 25.85
By way of a benchmark, the S&P gained a net of 1,076.57 points between 1954 and December 18, 2009 (see "Field of dreams"). Of course, it traded much higher in the interim reaching 1561.80 on a weekly closing basis for a maximum gain of 1,535.95 on the long side. Reversing to short at that price and holding to the present time would have brought the total gain possible from just two hypothetical trades to 1,968. But a steadfast buy and hold strategy from 1954 would have yielded 1,076 S&P points.
We require any successful system to exceed 1,076 points, and will judge a system a significant success if it achieves even 65% of our total ideal of 1,968 points, (i.e. 1,279 points before slippage). The fewer trades it takes to yield such points, the more successful the system will be, since every trade adds the potential for slippage and error.
A 52-week moving average should enable us to smooth out most of the chatter one might expect from a four- or eight-week moving average. Adding the filters we have imposed above also should help in theory. To our surprise, a simple 52-week moving average is a very poor system. It trades 80 times and only 45% of the trades are winners, including one open trade.The gross point gain is 1484.24 before slippage. If we add 0.30 points for slippage and commissions (i.e., $150), this reduces the gross gain to 1460.24 points. The model gave a buy signal on the close of July 24, 2009, booking a gain of 351 points from its sell signal on Jan. 4, 2008. Ironically, almost exactly 30% of the model's gain was earned in the last closed trade. The best trade was a gain of 561 points from the trade between January 1995 and August 1998. This model, with 55% losing trades, was much worse than the accuracy level we desire, and we deem it a relative failure, although it did exceed the target of 1,279 points with an average gain of 18.25 points per trade.
The 105-week exponential moving average fared worse in accuracy and in net gain. It traded far fewer times: 26. There were 11 winners, or 42.3%. The gross point gain dropped to 1,369.84, including an open trade profit of 175.91 points. The net gain after slippage is 1,362.04. The average trade gained 52.38 points. Of the three models, the 105 EMA is the only one remaining short with a trade initiated on June 23, 2008, at 1278.38, and an open profit of 299.12. The EMA trades far less often and is less sensitive to chatter than the SMA, but also is slower to respond, in part due to its longer period. Almost all of the gain was earned in a single trade begun on Aug. 27, 1982, and culminating on March 16, 2001, for 1,033.42 points. The model stayed long for almost 19 years.
Finally, our third model is the one year indicator based upon a simple philosophy. If current price is better than one year ago, the market is improving and we want to be long. If the S&P is lower than one year ago, the market is declining and we want to be short. Again, we use a three-week average of the difference to try to eliminate any chatter and apply the same filters as in the previous two models and start on the same date. This model also had 12 winners, but only traded 19 times including an open profit of 34.47 points; 63.15% winning trades. The gross gain was 2,156.73 points and the net after slippage is 2,151.03. Notice that this exceeds the ideal hypothetical of 1,968, so we conclude this is a resounding success. The best gain was a long on Feb. 10, 1995, closed on Nov. 10, 2000 for a gain of 883.54 points. The average trade gained a resounding 113.21 points.
In the 105-week model, only three of the 28 trades (11%) had gains exceeding 100 points, including the open trade. In the one-year indicator, six of the 17 trades (35%) exceeded 100 points, including the current gain. Eight of the 80 simple moving average trades (10%) exceeded 100-point gains. On the losing side, the 52-week average had four losses in excess of 100 points. Neither the longer-term average (worst loss: 92 points), nor the one-year indicator (worst loss: 43 points) suffered a 100-point loss on a closed trade (see "Long-term Titan").
The ideal trade is to have bought at the bottom and sold short at the top, always good advice in any market, because you only need to stop by to trade twice in a lifetime. That's good work if you can swing it. That said, our models indicate the following:
a) Trading less may be better,
b) The longer-term exponential moving average is inferior to the shorter-term simple moving average,
c) The one-year indicator is significantly superior to both moving averages,
d) The one-year indicator is better than the ideal trade and may be of significant assistance to the position trader
An investor or a long-term trader can certainly benefit from these tips. Interestingly, most of the money from all of these systems was made on the long side. The best short trade in the one-year system started in 2000 and ended in 2003.
The stock investor could simply move to cash when the one-year strategy signals a sell or reduce long exposure by some measure, such as switching to defensive positions. The commodity trader or the more aggressive stock investor could put on short positions in the S&P 500 futures market.
It must be pointed out that this was a rudimentary treatment of the indicators. A trader possibly could improve his performance by adding other filters or trailing stops or profit targets. None of this was done for this analysis to keep the comparisons between the systems free of non-strategy-based interference.
Short-term traders also can benefit from this knowledge. A day-trader should test a 30-day indicator — today's price vs. the price 30 calendar days prior. A five-minute trader could look at the current bar compared to the same bar on the prior day — or one 60 minutes or 120 minutes earlier. While the actual strategy may not necessarily hold up on these untested time frames, what most likely will is the tenet that success doesn't have to happen overnight.

By just about any reasonable measure, The Economist is doing pretty darn well for a magazine. As the print world frequently looks to be in a state of perpetual implosion, The Economist stands out as one of the print publications that's not only surviving, but thriving.
While struggling print publications like The New York Times mull a paid content strategy from a position of desperation, The Economist is going paid from a position of strength.

It's familiar by now to hear mocking sounds come from new media champions and writers when old media takes a stand against Twitter or Facebook or some other new tech tool. But new Twitter guidelines issued by the Washington Post on Friday came from inside old media.
Why? Because beyond helping a publication gain traction and authority on news items in real time, social media can be a journalists best tool for job stability. And the new rules threaten them more than anyone else.

When visitors to The New York Times website began falling victim to a fake anti-virus ad that attempted to install malware on readers' computers, some, myself included, suspected that the ad was probably being served through an ad network.
According to The Times, about half of the ads that are served on its website come from ad networks and they are an obvious target for scammers looking to distribute rogue ads that deliver malware.
But as it turns out, the rogue ad that was wreaking havoc with some Times readers was actually sold by The New York Times itself.

In the debate over the future of journalism, there are some who argue that stodgy old news organizations aren't necessary. Leaner and meaner ventures can take on the same burdens. Citizen journalists and bloggers are capable journalists.
But a victory for Bloomberg LP in a lawsuit against the United States Federal Reserve highlights the importance of having large news organizations.

Rupert Murdoch may be leading the pack when it comes to charging for content, but he's not dumb enough to go it alone. The News Corp. chief said recently that all of his publications will start charging for content within a year. And now it appears that he's got plans to get other publications to go in with him. According to The Los Angeles Times, News Corp. execs have been meeting with major publishers to create a media consortium that collectively charges for articles across digital platforms.
Why does Murdoch want help? Because his papers will take a nosedive in readership when he starts charging for content. One way to stave off the bleeding is to make sure that other news providers are siphoning their content behind a pay wall as well.

By all appearances, the question isn't whether the New York Times will revisit paid subscriptions. The question is what those subscriptions will look like.

Newspapers are currently involved in a struggle to protect and monetize their content online. The Associated Press, especially, has been on the offensive when it comes to trying to get paid for articles online. To that end, the AP board announced a plan today to tag and track every piece of text content for the co-op and its members — and eventually photos and video.
The move could be excellent step for the AP. If they can figure out how and what to charge for licensing their content online.

Hard to argue with a $5 CPM for advertising on a New York Times property, even if the ad run on its portfolio of hyperlocal properties. But what do the butcher, baker or candlestick maker know from CPMs?
The Times just announced on The Local, its clutch of microregional, citizen-journalism blogger sites, that it plans to make display advertising easy, self-service, and cheap. It's inviting nieghborhood dry cleaners and hardware merchants to design, post, and allocate a capped budget to ad campaigns targeted to neighborhood audiences.

While other media sites are struggling to increase page views, Gawker's Nick Denton is willing to get traffic the old fashioned way: by paying for it.
Major newspapers are contemplating putting their content behind a pay wall and testing the waters with micropayments, but Denton is committed to making money from free ad-supported content. And to do that, his sites will live and die by their page views.
So far, that's working well for the company. While online ad revenues have fallen on average by 5% this year, revenues at Gawker have increased 35%. To keep that trend going, Denton will return to giving his writers traffic bonuses. He's also reiterated his interest in paying tipsters for traffic earning scoops.

Per Rick's request -
I have listened to WWI vet Frank Buckles recount his meeting with General Pershing several times. Here's what I remember:
Pershing visited Oklahoma City while traveling the country after WWI (1919 or 1920). Mr. Buckles got in uniform and went down to where an official gathering was taking place and stood in line to meet the general. After all, he had been the overall commander while Mr. Buckles was in France. Some small banter took place followed by a "snappy salute" rendered to the general. As Frank walked away Pershing noticed that Frank was wearing (or carrying?) gloves which was an indicator that a soldier is cavalry. A Sgt. was dispatched by Pershing to retrieve Frank and they had a talk. Apparently, gloves were an optional uniform item and Frank was, and is, a fastidious dresser. During their talk they discovered that Pershing and Frank had been born some 30 miles from one another - Pershing in Laclede, MO and Frank in Bethany, MO.

How the Rules Work at the Start
How the Rules Work at the Start
A clean start is a good start, and fortunately there are only a few essential rules that apply when you're most likely to put them to use. "Rules" from our April 2011 issue.
Boats are frequently packed close together in the final countdown to the start, and as a result, the rules get a real workout. Thankfully, the rules that apply at a starting mark are significantly simplified because no Section C rule applies at a starting mark surrounded by navigable water (see the preamble to Section C).
So what rules do apply at the start? They are the same rules that apply in open-water situations. Between any pair of boats, one—and only one—of the basic right-of-way rules in Section A applies at any given moment, and that rule confers right of way on one of the pair and the obligation to keep clear on the other. Three "General Limitation" rules from Section B limit changes of course by the right-of-way boat. These are, in order of importance, Rule 16.1, Changing Course, Rule 14, Avoiding Contact, and Rule 15, Acquiring Right of Way.
You can either aim for a front-row start somewhere in the middle of the pack or, when one end of the line is favored, try to nail the start at the favored end. Let's apply the rules to each of these starts.
The first diagram shows two typical mid-line situations that occur often in a large fleet of dinghies. Will and Steve have each set up on the windward side of a hole rather early and are barely moving forward on starboard tack. Louise and Portia come in later, both sailing at normal speed, and intent upon occupying the spaces that Will and Steve have been planning to use to bear away and accelerate in the final seconds before the start.
At Position 1, Louise is clear astern of Will and required by Rule 12 to keep clear. Because she is moving much faster than Will, Louise anticipates that she will soon have a leeward overlap on Will and begins to warn Will by hailing "Go up, don't come down." If Louise hails while still clear astern, her hail is totally inappropriate and toothless. As long as Will is clear ahead, he is under no obligation to take any action to avoid Louise. As the right-of-way boat, Will can make any course change he wishes provided that, as he does so, he gives Louise room to keep clear (see Rule 16.1).
At Position 2, Louise becomes overlapped to leeward of Will. At that time Rule 12 no longer applies and is replaced by Rule 11, which gives Louise right of
way. However, at the moment of transition, Rule 15 requires Louise to give Will room to keep clear. Rule 15 only applies initially—that is for a few seconds after the overlap begins. However, at all times while Louise remains overlapped to leeward of Will, she is bound by Rule 16.1 if she changes course. Louise intends to luff up to enlarge the hole to leeward of her and to deprive Will of any gap in which to accelerate. If Louise were to luff up at Position 2, she certainly would break Rule 16.1 because, if Will tried to luff in response, his stern would swing into the starboard side of Louise's bow. To avoid breaking Rule 16.1, Louise should delay any luff until she reaches Position 3, at which point there will be room for Will to keep clear.
Portia has her eye on the hole that Steve intends to use. While she is on port tack, and from the time she passes head to wind until she assumes a close-hauled course on starboard tack, Will has right of way, first under Rule 10 and later, afer Portia passes head to wind, under Rule 13. At Position 2, Portia is still required to keep clear under Rule 13. She wants to force Steve to remain in the position he is in. To do so, she must first obtain right of way, by bearing off to a closehauled course momentarily, and then luff again. To improve her chances in the protest room should Steve protest her for breaking Rule 13, Portia should hail, "Closehauled, keep clear" when she is first on a closehauled starboard-tack course.

Baton blunder costs Britain bronze
16:45, Aug 18 2013
Great Britain's baton blunders returned to haunt them again at the World Championships in Moscow as the men's 4x100 metres relay team lost their bronze medal after being disqualified.
Dwain Chambers came flying down the home straight to bring the team home in third place, but after doing a lap of honour they were given the bad news.
The second changeover from Harry Aikines-Aryeetey to James Ellington took place out of the designated box, meaning the result was always likely to be reversed.
UK Athletics confirmed the disqualification and, as a result, Canada were promoted to bronze.
It is the latest in a long line of relay failures for Britain's sprinters. It is the sixth major championship out of seven in which they have failed to get the baton round properly.
Story continues
UK Athletics performance director and acting head coach Neil Black told the BBC: "It's pretty gutting and I'm sure we all feel the same but that's the sport."
The man Black is filling in for as head coach is Peter Eriksson, who left his position at UKA in late June, to take up the same role with Canada.
The British quartet of Adam Gemili, Aikines-Aryeetey, Ellington and Chambers clocked a season's best 37.80 seconds, but it proved irrelevant.
If British relay blunders have become expected, so too have Jamaican wins and Usain Bolt took his World Championships career medal tally into double figures by anchoring Jamaica to gold.
Bolt claimed his third gold of this year's championships by taking the Jamaica team home in 37.36secs.
He performed a Cossack dance on the track for the Luzhniki Stadium crowd, which looked at his fullest it has been all championships, after the race.
Addressing the crowd, he said: "I am very satisfied. It's a wonderful energy that's coming out."
Bolt has now won 10 World Championship medals, eight gold and two silver, to equal Carl Lewis' men's record.

The painting which had rarely been seen by the public, was given to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, where it is now viewed, the National Gallery of Art announced on December 20, 2013. The work was probably painted a few weeks before the death of the artist.The painting part of the legacy of philanthropist Paul Mellon, who died in 1999, was acquired in December 1955. In this painting, Van Gogh eliminates the rural figures, stony walls, wooden carts, dramatic trees, and rustic buildings that populate so many of his landscapes and focuses instead on the windblown clouds and tall grasses.

6 Stealth Skin Agers
You know that you shouldn't bake your skin at the beach, and you wouldn't dream of picking up a cigarette for many reasons, but there are under-the-radar habits that might be damaging your skin — without your realizing it.
By Bora Chang
Stop Sneaky Skin Agers
You probably abide by the two cardinal rules in the book of beauty: Don't leave home without applying SPF, and don't smoke. However, other skin agers may be flying under your radar and sneakily adding years to your skin. Check out our list of the six potential agers that you should avoid to keep your skin smooth and radiant — and looking younger than your real age!
Indulging a Sweet Tooth
Cupcakes and candies have a place at office birthday parties and as occasional afternoon pick-me-ups. But if you fill up too often on such foods that are loaded with sugar, or foods that are high on the glycemic index, like white bread and pasta, you may eventually find that your skin looks older than it should.
What exactly does sugar do to the skin? After you indulge in a sweet treat, sugar breaks down into glucose, which "eats away at collagen and elastin, the structural proteins that make up the skin," says Jessica Wu, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at USC medical school and the author of Feed Your Face. This process, called glycation, causes collagen to harden over time, and this, in turn, makes your skin less supple and its texture worse.
Avoiding sugar is easier said than done — it's a common ingredient in many foods, not just desserts — so your best bet is to try to eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Dr. Wu suggests staying away from added sugars and such simple carbohydrates as white bread and white rice. It's also helpful to read labels and lists pf ingredients carefully and to scan for hidden sugars, such as high-fructose corn syrup. If you do eat carbohydrates and sugar, "balance them with protein, like nuts, beans, or chicken, to slow the harmful effect on your blood sugar levels," Wu says.
Taking Window Seats
Even if you're vigilant about applying SPF in the morning, you can still suffer damaging sun exposure if you sit near a window at the office, or if you spend a significant amount of time commuting in a car. "People generally don't realize how much sun they're getting," says Jennifer Linder, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California at San Francisco. "Because UVA rays have a long wavelength and go through window glass, they penetrate the skin deeper, aging it and causing skin cancer."
This is why people in the United States, where drivers sit on the left-hand side of the car, may have more wrinkles and fine lines on the left side of the face, whereas in the United Kingdom and other countries where drivers sit on the right, people have more skin damage and skin cancers on the right side of the face.
To avoid the stealth sun exposure, keep a small bottle of sunscreen in your desk drawer in the office if you work near a window, or in your glove compartment if you commute by car, and reapply it every two hours. If you're a frequently flier and prefer a window seat, you can simply pull down the shade to avoid the UV rays.
Stressing Out
Stress can play a big role in making you look older. When you're stressed, your body pumps up the production of cortisol, a stress hormone, which in turn increases the levels of matrix metalloproteinases, enzymes that then break down collagen and elastin.
"When your body is stressed, the activity of these MMPs increases and they break down the good stuff that supports the skin," says Dr. Linder. And stress can come in many guises: a big deadline or an exam, a sick family member, or even a happy occasion, like getting ready for a vacation. In addition, stress can cause you to frown or squint, and "over time, these expression lines can become more pronounced on the face," says Doris Day, MD, a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center.
To avoid the negative effects of stress, and to keep it from becoming a chronic problem, find a way to manage it that works for you. "If you have a productive life, you know that any sort of challenge is going to come with stress," Dr. Day says. "You need to be able to breathe through it, whether you take a walk, do yoga, or do something else that relaxes you."
Skipping Sleep
As you've probably experienced firsthand, not getting enough "beauty rest" can make you look older. There are two ways in which the lack of sleep — less than seven hours a night — can affect you. "Sleep is when your body repairs, heals, and regenerates itself, and if you take that away, you slow this process and the skin reflects it — this is the direct effect," explains Day. "The indirect effect is that when you're exhausted, your judgment typically isn't as good — you don't eat as well and you don't take care of yourself."
If you can't get a full night sleep, Day advises that you sneak in naps when possible. "Catch up where you can — even just 10 minutes makes a difference," she says. Day also recommends keeping as regular a schedule as possible. "The one thing that your body and your skin like," she says, "is routine — going to sleep around the same time and waking up around the same time every day. It's not possible to stick to schedules all the time, but if you make the effort, you'll see a difference."
Overdoing Anti-Aging Products
Aspects of dry skin, including discoloration, rough patches, and flakiness, have the unfortunate effect of making wrinkles more prominent, so it's important to take stock of your skin care regimen and review the ingredients in the products you use. "The cause of dry skin is usually products that are overly drying," Linder says. "Or people use these products too aggressively."
Retin-A and harsh soaps, for example, as well as ingredients such as glycolic acid and alcohol, can dry out your skin, especially if you're overzealous about anti-aging products and use them in excess.
"Retinols have significantly improved since they were introduced to the market," says Linder, "and they offer a more stable version of vitamin A to help combat aging."
Hydrate skin with products that contain vitamin E and glycerin. These ingredients help plump up the skin, making any wrinkles and fine lines less pronounced. Be sure to drink enough water to hydrate your skin and body from the inside out. The right amount varies per person, but "eight glasses a day is a good average; you can go higher or lower depending on how much you exercise," advises Day.
Living in a City
Pollution provides additional oxidative stress on the skin. The free radicals in pollution activate MMPs, the harmful enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, thereby aging your skin more quickly.
Although pollution varies by city and is hard to avoid, it's a good idea to fight the effects of free radicals by being diligent with your daily skin care routine. "Proper cleansing of the skin before you go to bed is important to help remove what you can," Day says. Daily use of sunscreen coupled with moisturizers that contain strong antioxidants, such as caffeine, vitamin C, and vitamin E, can also help negate the harm caused by MMPs.

CatPluginClient-Designer - Wiki
Designer implementation of CatPluginClient
About the Application#
This application uses the . The application cannot be created if you do not have this plugin correctly created, installed, and running.
Creating the Application Project#
1. Open the Designer and Create a new project. (File>New Project)
2. Create a project named "CatPluginClient":
3. When creating a new project, the Designer will prompt you to name first script and to select a triggering event for that script. However, we want to use a plugin trigger to trigger the app, and if you inspect the list of available triggers, you will note that the trigger "catplugin.CatPlugin.triggerOnImageUpdate"isnot currently available.So we need to add a reference to the plugin before we can select the proper trigger. So hit Cancel for now and do not add a script yet. (You will note that the Project itself has been created on the left hand side, there are just no scripts associated.
4. To add the reference, R-click on the CatPluginClient project in the Explorer window. Select Add Reference.
5. Now we need to add the appropriate reference file, which differs between plugins and providers. Here We need to add only the provider reference.
- Provider: Navigate to the file LolCatProvider\bin\Debug\LolCatProvider.dll
Now select Open.
6. Now we can add a script to our project. Go to the explorer window and R-click on the project. Select Add Script>New Script.
7. We will accept the default script name "script1". For the triggering event, select "catplugin.CatPlugin.triggerOnImageUpdate". Hit OK.
Handle 'OntriggerOnImageUpdate'#
Developing applications in the CUAD is an exercise in implementing handlers for various generated events. When you add new triggers or actions to your CUAD application, the Designer automatically inspects those triggers and actions and determines which events need to be handled.
These events will appear as 'tabs' above the Designer's canvas. To implement handlers for these events, you click on a tab and drag into the canvas new actions to be executed.
The first, and for now only event, we have in this application is the 'OntriggerOnImageUpdate' event. This is the event that is associated with the 'calplugin.CatPlugin.triggerOnImageUpdate' trigger that we specified at application creation.
We must now handle the 'OntriggerOnImageUpdate' event:
1. Click on the 'OntriggerOnImageUpdate' tab to highlight a canvas for this event:
2. When we are alerted that there is a new image, we want to download the image URL, create a GraphicFileMenu, and send it to the phone using SendExecute. So our first action is to get the image link. Since this is one of the actions created by the plugin, it is not in the Toolbox by default. Therefore, we must manually add it in. R-Click inside of the toolbox on the Cisco IP Phone menu and select "Add/Remove Items...".
A window called "Customize Toolbox" will appear. Scroll to the bottom of the actions and check the box next to getImageLink. Click OK. Now if you scroll to the bottom of the CiscoIPPhone toolbox you will see the action for getImageLink.
3. Drag and drop the getImageLink action onto the canvas.
The Start node will automatically be connected to the new action.
Saving the Result#
The getImageLink action returns a url that we want to be able to access later in the script. Therefore, we need to save it to a local variable.
1. First we want to view the Variable tray. R-click anywhere on the canvas and click the first option, Variable Tray.
The variable tray can be viewed by either R-clicking on the canvas and selecting "Variable Tray", or by going to View>Variable Tray. These actions will toggle the variable tray between being displayed and hidden.
2. Right click on the variable tray at the bottom of the canvas. Select "Add new item". Call the new variable imgURL.
3. To store the result of getImageLink into imgURL, select the getImageLink action on the canvas. Go to the Properties box and click the dropdown menu for Result Date> result. Select imgURL.
Adding the GraphicFileMenu#
Now that we have the image URL saved in imgURL, we can use the data to create a graphic file menu.
1. Expand the CiscoIpPhone toolbox and locate CreateGraphicFileMenu. Drag and drop this action onto the canvas. To connect getImageLink to CreateGraphicFileMenu, move your cursor to the getImageLink icon. When your cursor approachs the center of the icon a 'dot' will appear in the center of the icon and your cursor will turn into a 'hand'. Once your cursor has become a 'hand', click and drag the cursor from the getImageLink action to the CreateGraphicFilMenu action. We will leave it as the default action to follow getImageLink.
2. To set the parameters for CreateGraphicFileMenu, select the action in the designer canvas. When it is selected, a green box will outline the action. Go to the Properties box. You will have to set Format URL to "true", LocationX to "1", LocationY to "1", and title to "LolCat". We also want to initialize URL to our local variable imgURL. To do this, click on the plus sign next to URL to expand the options. Set user type to variable. Then set URL to imgURL from the drop down menu.
3. The result of CreateGraphicFileMenu is the xml object that we want to push to the phone. We need to save this data to a local variable in order to use it in another action. Create a local variable by R-clicking on the variable tray and selecting "Add new item". Call this item lolCat.
4. The default type for a variable is a string, which is what we used to store imgURL. However, since we want to store a graphic file menu, we need to specify this type. Click on the variable and go to the Properties toolbox. Under type, find and select "GraphicFileMenu".
5. Now that we have setup a variable, let's save the result data to it. Click on CreateGraphicFileMenu on the designer canvas. Under ResultData, select lolCat from the drop-down menu.
If CreateGraphicFileMenu Fails#
1. If CreateGraphicFileMenu fails, then we want to end the application. To do this, expand Application Components in the Toolbox and drag and drop EndScript onto the canvas. Connect CreateGraphicFileMenu and EndScript. Since we want EndScript to occur only if CreateGraphicFileMenu fails, click on where the wire says "default", and reset this to "Failure" from the drop down menu.
If CreateGraphicFileMenu Succeeds#
1. If CreateGraphicFileMenu succeeds, then we want to send the resulting object to an IP Phone. Since we've already saved the data to the local variable lolCat, we are ready to send it to the phone. So expand Cisco Ip Phone in the toolbox. Find the action SendExecute and drag and drop it onto the canvas. Connect CreateGraphicFileMenu to SendExecute.
2.Set the parameters for SendExecute in the Properties box. Message will be the variable lolCat, and password, phoneIp, and username are all strings.
Add an EndScript#
Since that is the end of the application, go to Application Components in the toolbox and drag and drop an EndScript. Connect it to SendExecute.
Adding a new function to get a status update if any provider goes down while executing this application.#
1. Adding the function
2. Now we need to add two variables, Provider and status, to this newly added function and initialize these with the values PluginName and Status event variables. This is shown in the pictures below:
3. Now we'll add one LogWrite action. It will write the status update of the provider into the app-server logs. Populate the action parameters for this action as shown in the figure below.
- Add EndFunction action in the end, as shown above.
Build & Deploy the Application#
Prior to building and deploying the application, configure the "Connectivity" options between the CUAD and the CUAS.
- Select "Tools -> Options -> Connectivity" from the top menu
- Enter the IP address and username / password for the CUAE server, then save the change.
To both build and deploy the application, select "Build -> Deploy" from the top menu (to Build without deploying, select "Build -> Build Project").
The status of the build and deployment is displayed in the "Ouput" pane at the bottom of the CUAD. In the case that this is not you first deployment to the CUAE server you will be present with a pop-up prompt to select "Upgrade" or "Reinstall".
To view the status of the application in the CUAE Admin console. Log into the CUAE management console and select applications from the menu list.
Adding A Trigger#
- Select "Applications -> Find/List Triggers" to generate a list of applications and their associated triggers.
- Select the application "CatPluginClient in the list.
- Enter "name" and "cat". Select "Add Parameter".
Running the Application#
The application should now be triggered automatically by the running CatPlugin.

Delta has pulled their advertising dollars.
"I'm not going to censor myself to comfort your ignorance," Stewart said, decrying what he called the cable news-fueled "outrage machine."
I just love it when these guys get full of them selves. He seems to forget how he came into that spot. Like the previous host thought he was immune to pissing off the wrath of the advertisers. And to be done in by Donahue, that would be poetic justice. I mean Rush or one of the other hardcore conservative watchdogs, would be too easy to write off and ignore. But you don't want the quaff of the Hue coming down on you.

Summer is all too short, especially in Vermont. Employers should be aware that summer presents special work hazards and a need for extra safety measures. The two main reasons summer presents additional safety concerns are:
1. Inexperienced workers.
2. Seasonal hazards.
Studies have shown that more work injuries occur to younger workers and to inexperienced workers, new or relatively new on the job. In the summertime, employers take on more high school and college-age workers who are young and have limited experience and limited or no training in their new jobs.
Seasonal work, by definition, means work that requires a new work force with the season. Seasonal workers are either brand new to the work, or, at a minimum, their work skills that have not been utilized since the previous work season. Seasonal work by its very nature introduces inexperienced workers into the work force.
The summer season also presents work hazards which are not present the rest of the year. In the warmer months we have more work available in trades that may be hazardous such as construction, carpentry, road work, agriculture and roofing.
Summer work can be safe as long as employers are aware of the special hazards it presents and the need for extra training and safety measures. Here are some tips to keep your workers safe this summer:
Training – time spent training new workers and providing refresher training to seasonal workers will pay off in proper procedures being followed and reduced injuries.
Safety first – bring safety out into the open, introduce it in the interview and with hiring, mention it at staff meetings, training sessions; all the time, make it a work priority.
Address your work hazards – each business is unique. If your work involves heights, provide extra training on height safety. If it involves special machines or equipment, focus on equipment safety and proper procedures. Take stock of your work hazards and address them with training or safety measures.
Monitor safety - training takes you half-way, safety measures and training must be reinforced through supervision, monitoring, follow-up and consequences. This can be time consuming and supervisor intensive but can yield lasting safety results
Team workers – one sure way to train and supervise young or inexperienced workers is to team them up with a skilled, more experienced worker, to learn the job right and to receive monitoring and regular feedback.
Protective equipment – have readily available the protective equipment necessary for your work. Skilled labor may require personal protective safety equipment such as gloves, goggles or hard hats in all range of sizes, readily available. Even unskilled labor may need guidelines or pointers to wear the right shoes or clothing to perform their jobs.
Beware of fatigue – extended daylight hours and warm weather encourage us to extend work hours. Extended hours can also cause fatigue or diminished attention. A longer workday may be fine with appropriate breaks and continued attention to safety.
Reward safety – you reward good work or a job well done. Start rewarding good safety. Notice and reward a worker who follows a safety procedure or notices a hazard. In a particularly hazardous work environment, employers may provide safety incentive to workers by offering a group reward if workers work for an extended time (a month or the summer) injury free.
Employers can enjoy productive summers by taking a little extra time to consider the hazards of summer and the safety measures needed to minimize injuries.

Puype said Calidoscopio was evaluated and a decision made that he was capable of running.
"I thought we'd done enough" treatment, Puype said. "I would have scratched him if I didn't think he was good."
A 10-year-old Argentine-bred horse, Calidoscopio, the 5-2 favorite, finished 9 1/2 lengths behind race winner Sky Kingdom, closing from last to be nearest to the leader at the finish.
Why would Puype divulge this information? Unbelievable.

Embellish a Tea TowelBy: Ashley Johnston of Make It and Love It Ashley Johnston of Make It and Love It shares how she ties colors together in her kitchen with a stripe of fabric sewn onto plain tea towels. This is an easy sewing project for gift-giving, such as for Mother's Day. Use holiday fabric for holiday tea towels. Use this tutorial to create a cute fabric yo-yo embellishment.
My towel measured 18 x 28 inches. I decided that I wanted my strip to be 2 inches tall and to be as wide as the towel, 18 inches. I added 1/4 inch to all sides.......and cut out a strip of fabric that was 2.5 x 18.5 inches. Then, I tucked under each side a 1/4 inch and ironed it flat. Then, I pinned the strip about 2.5 inches from the bottom (just eye it and place it wherever you'd like) and sewed around the strip, very close to the folded edge. Okay, and then I just had to add a yo-yo. Hey, it might get in the way while drying those dishes......but who cares? It's so darn cute on there.

Topic: 4 LOM vs IG-88?
I pick 4 LOM.
Who do you think would win?
You are not logged in. Please login or register.
I pick 4 LOM.
Who do you think would win?
IG-88 would win hands down.
belongs in roleplaying... all matches go there
shouldnt these go in Dialogue or fans or something?
I pick 4 LOM.
Who do you think would win?
I am left completely speechless by your choice (That's why I'm typing instead). 4-LOM is a drink serving droid turned bounty hunter. Sure, he has some upgrades, but IG-88 was built to kill. He is outfitted with more weapons than Boba Fett, and can kill a dozen armed organics in a couple seconds. Read "Tales of the Bounty Hunters", or even his databank entry.
LOL I never knew that 4-LOM used to seve drinks. I pick him then
Naw, IG-88 would kick 4-LOM's @$$ anyday. It's 4 against one first of all, and even one IG is better then him.

Buy it. Buy it now. The Gorgomyte cloth works so amazingly well, it is hard to believe that a single product could so vastly improve the feel of your guitar. I don't have the proper words to describe how amazing it is. Trust me. Buy it.
This stuff is great once you get used to the sun tan lotion-smell. When I first applied it, I was a bit disappointed, but then I buffed it with an old T-shirt, and wow.....
I don't know what it's got in it and I don't really care. I can't believe how clean this cloth gets my fretboards and frets. My guitars look awesome and my fingers glide over the polished frets. I'm not the greatest player in the world but I can swear it even cuts down on string buzz too. Easy to use and better than pro results (my guitars never looked this good after having them serviced). Buy these cloths & you won't be dissappointed. Good job, Jimmy.
wow! this stuff is simply fantastic. just a small square is all you need for a neck - leaves frets shining better than steel wool or dremel methods, much quicker too. Makes old, rusty frets shine like new. i like the coconut smell as well. Used it on a half dozen guitars & basses - superb results. thanks for making this available!
I purchased 2 units sometime ago, but only yesterday I started to use Gorgomyte. I must say that it is for me easier to clean frets and fingerbord, in the end the results are much better than before with other products. Highly recommendable ! Antonio Carvalho - Portugal
I bought that thing with a weird name to help my restoration of an old classical guitar. Having read all the good reviews I decided to give it a try. And here I am, writing a good review myself. Not only the fretboard wood came back to life, but the frets now look like polished silver.
This stuff is revolutionary! It changed what used to be an hour long masking and polishing process in my shop and turned it into a five minute job, INCREDIBLE! Buffs right off too. What a truly amazing advancement. Thanks so much Gorgomyte.
Yes it works : Super shiny frets & fretboard! Even so : as cleaning products are often hazardous to health, I really wonder what's inside?
Nice and easy to use and it really brings the fretboard back to life.
I will buy this again when I use up my first order. A real advance in cleaning and restoring, A+!

Presented to: Tyler Chadwick
For: editing Fire in the Pasture: Twenty-first Century Mormon Poets
Fire in the Pasture is the first anthology of Mormon poets since the groundbreaking Harvest: Contemporary Mormon Poems was published in 1989 — over 20 years ago. Its title carries on an agricultural metaphor begun with the short-story anthology Greening Wheat published in 1983 — and in fact fulfills the old prophecy about that anthology, that it was the first of three planned by Levi Peterson, with the next two having the titles Nodding Heads and Burning Stubble.
Chadwick, however, drew his title from the poem "Finding Place," one of several by Doug Talley in the collection, which begins:
A fire in the pasture undulates of blue and white and yellow flower, a fire like a snake, iridescent by sunlight and undulant in the wind.
Further on, Talley expands on the metaphor in these words:
The kingdom of heaven found on earth is like a pasture, a strange, little kingdom full of spicery, the undulant and speluncular, and all the other words by which we frame it.
Fire in the Pasture records the changes, movements, and new and old themes that Mormon poets are and have been struggling with. The collection is highly representative of the various types of Mormon poets, with many up-and-coming poets included. That generosity alone merits the award. But the themes, styles and forms show great variety, and manifold interests. Although the poems in Fire in the Pasture do not uniquely deal with Mormon themes, anyone wanting to become more familiar with contemporary Mormon poets would benefit by reading this diverse collection of poems generated from Mormon cultural and religious expressions of both the sacred and the mundane.

Indian and Himalayan Art Krishna Destroys the Demoness Putana c. 1725 Artist/maker unknown, India Opaque watercolor and gold on paper Currently not on view 2004-149-54 125th Anniversary Acquisition. Alvin O. Bellak Collection, 2004 |
LabelThe first asura sent by evil King Kansa to kill Krishna was the demoness Putana, the Devourer of Infants. She pretended to be a wet-nurse, but her breast was full of poison instead of milk. Krishna recognized her, but suckled anyway. Instead of dying from the poison, however, the divine baby sucked so forcefully that he killed the demoness. In this illustration, Krishna kneels triumphantly on Putana's enormous chest as she dies, her breast and tongue lolling, while the village women look on in wonder. |

And for both teams, despite opposite outcomes Tuesday afternoon, they will be heading to the state 5A girls soccer tournament as region champions.
Davis, winner of four of its last five matches entering Tuesday's match up with Northridge, ended up dropping a 1-0 decision after allowing a second half goal to Lady Knight Ricci Adams.
The loss, as it turned out, was inconsequential to the Darts. They finished the region with a 7-3 record and had already clinched a share of the region title.
The Lady Darts split their two meetings with Fremont with identical 2-1 scores but will still be a top seed heading into the state tournament for 5A.
For the season, Kenzie Harrison led the team in scoring with 17 goals in 16 games. Teammate Abbey Mann was second with six goals, and Sammi Swan finished with five on the year.
Goalkeeper Dani MacKay started all 16 games for the Darts, recording three shutouts.
The Vikings, on the other hand, will enter the state tournament with a near-unblemished record for the season.
Since the Vikings only loss to Bountiful in the team's second game of the year, Viewmont has won 14 straight contests.
Since entering region play, the Vikings have out scored their opponents 83-2 while going 10-0 in that span. The team's two goals against came while playing West, one of the few teams that played an entire game against the Lady Vikes this season.
The scoring onslaught the Vikings put up during the regular season came mostly from Ali Forsberg, who scored 29 goals entering the playoffs.
She was one of four players to score in double figures for Viewmont, the others including Lizzy Rasmussen (19), Camille Green (15) and Courtney Wallis (10).
Alex Cook has been the beneficiary of stopping any shots that came her way this season, recording nine shutouts in 16 games.
Ashley Earnshaw also has one shutout this season for Viewmont.
The Darts' first round opponent will be Cottonwood, who finished 3-10-3 overall on the season.
The Vikings will get Bingham, a team that won just two games entering the playoffs.
Both games will be at the schools' respective home sites and are scheduled to start at 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.

About the College The College of St. Catherine was founded in 1905 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet as a Catholic, liberal arts college for women. The College's St. Paul campus offers undergraduate programs for women. The Minneapolis campus offers associate-degree and certificate programs in healthcare and human services. Both campuses offer graduate degree programs for women and men. As the largest undergraduate women's college in the country, St. Catherine's provides something very special. That something is a spiritual and ethical grounding, which prepares our students for lives and leadership roles that make a positive impact on the people and communities they serve. St. Catherine's has committed itself to respect for people, dignity of work and strength of community. Guided by these values, the campus community fosters learning through caring relationships and interdisciplinary collaboration; provides educational access to all students including those with low incomes, disabilities or academic weaknesses; appreciates the centrality of the liberal arts; celebrates and reflects the diversity of our society; and advances the traditional Catholic commitment to social justice.

Syncing a libferris filesystem with an XML file or database
With libferris, FUSE, and rsync, you can synchronize a filesystem with a dissimilar data source.
Admins use rsync to snchronize two filesystem trees. With a few tricks, you can use FUSE and libferris with rsync to synchronize a filesystem with another data source such as an XML file or a PostgreSQL database. Libferris is a user address space Virtual FileSystem (VFS) that lets you mount almost any data source as a filesystem. Examples of data sources libferris can mount include XML files, Berkeley db4 files, rpm packages, relational databases, LDAP servers, web servers, and applications like XWindow, Emacs, xmms, Amarok, and Firefox. Libferris also includes evolving support for mounting web services. For example, you can interface a libferris directory with a photo-sharing website like 23hq or Flickr. In this article, I will discuss some of the possibilities for using rsync to synchronize a libferris filesystem with an XML file or database.
