When I first saw The Lion King, I was in college and fell in love instantly, as I do with most Disney movies. There's just so much to this film- the storylines, the characters, the amazing casting, the humor, the drama, the messages- its all there, and its in a really entertaining package. I was so excited when I heard about the Diamond Edition of this film and so excited that we have it in our house. Someday, we'll even have a BluRay player and be able to enjoy ALL of the extra things that come with movies now…but I have to wait a bit longer. I've said many times that I love when Disney brings films back, always with something new to see and enjoy, although the outtakes of films and cut scenes are far and above my favorite parts.
"'The Lion King' is the best-selling home entertainment release of all time—and this is 'The Lion King' like never before," said Bob Chapek, president of distribution, The Walt Disney Studios. "The all-new 3D format immerses viewers in the epic settings and puts them face-to-face with these beloved characters. We're showcasing one of the all-time favorite Disney movies in theaters and making it available in Blu-ray hi-def and in Blu-ray 3D—it's the must-see, must-own title for everyone."
Nearly a decade since "The Lion King" last appeared on the big screen, the upcoming theatrical release invites new generations into the "Circle of Life." The two-week, 3D-only presentation is a planned wide domestic release—the biggest since the film's 1994 debut—and the film's first-ever 3D release.
The Blu-ray debut marks the first time "The Lion King" has been available in any form since 2004. Featuring pristine high definition picture and sound, the Blu-ray creates an incredible at-home experience with a host of picture and sound enhancements, interactive features and bonus content, including a new set of hilarious animated bloopers.
"The Lion King": Diamond Edition home entertainment release will be available from the Disney Vault for a limited time only beginning October 4 as follows:
· 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (for the suggested retail price of $49.99 U.S./ $56.99 Canada)
o "The Lion King" = Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray 2D + DVD + Digital Copy™
· 2-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (for the suggested retail price of $39.99 U.S./$46.99 Canada)
o "The Lion King" = Blu-ray 2D + DVD
· 8-Disc Trilogy (for the suggested retail price of $100.00 U.S./ $115.00 Canada)
o "The Lion King" = Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray 2D + DVD + Digital Copy
o "The Lion King 1 12" = Blu-ray 2D + DVD
o "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride" = Blu-ray 2D + DVD
And the one-disc DVD Edition will be available on November 15.
"The Lion King," first released in 1994, won the Oscar® for Best Original Score (Hans Zimmer) and Best Original Song (Elton John/Tim Rice "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"), earning Golden Globes® in both categories, as well as for Best Motion Picture—Comedy or Musical.
The film inspired an immensely popular, Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical, which is currently featured on stages worldwide. It became the seventh longest-running musical in Broadway history in January 2011.
An unforgettable story, breathtaking animation, beloved characters and award-winning music sets thestage for "The Lion King", a Disney classic that follows the adventures of Simba, the feisty lion cub who "just can't wait to be king." But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne, and he forces Simba's exile from the kingdom. Alone and adrift, Simba soon joins the escapades of a hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warmhearted warthog pal, Pumbaa. Adopting their carefree lifestyle of "Hakuna Matata," Simba ignores his real responsibilities until he realizes his destiny and returns to the Pride Lands to claim his place in the "Circle of Life." The all-star vocal talents—including Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Whoopi Goldberg, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Ernie Sabella, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Robert Guillaume, Cheech Marin and Moira Kelly—rip-roaring comedy and uplifting messages of courage, loyalty and hope make this a timeless tale for all ages. Produced by Don Hahn and directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff from a script by Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts and Linda Woolverton, "The Lion King" is rated G by the MPAA.
One of my readers will win The Lion King: Diamond Edition!

Inspectors have told a South Croydon primary school to improve its teaching.
Regina Coeli Catholic Primary School's latest Ofsted report outlined several areas for improvement and said teaching standards were patchy and pupil progress was "frequently limited".
But pupils were praised for their behaviour and attedance, while Year 6 children were singled out as high achievers.
Regina Coeli, on Pampisford Road, was judged to 'require improvement' overall.
It is the school's first report since the old inspection system, under which the same grade would have been deemed 'satisfactory', was abolished in September.
In the report, inspectors said: "The quality of teaching is too variable. Too little teaching is consistently good or better.
"As a result, pupil progress and trends in attainment are uneven across key stages and subjects."
The school's pupil achievement, quality of teaching and leadership and management were all deemed to require improvement.
Inspectors said: "Although there are pockets of better teaching in the school, there is still not enough good teaching to ensure that pupils make consistently good or better progress, particularly in writing.
"In some cases, the teacher's questions and activities during the lesson are not matched closely to individual needs.
"Some pupils find the work too easy, whilst some find it too hard. As a result, pupils' progress is frequently limited."
But school was graded 'good' for the behaviour and safety of its pupils.
The report said: "Pupils are polite, welcoming and well behaved."
"Pupils told inspectors that the good behaviour seen during the inspection was typical and most parents and carers agree that pupils are well behaved.
"Pupils want to do their best and are keen to do well in lessons so that their behaviour in lessons is good."
Inspectors told the school it could improve by sharing good practice more widely and providing teachers with more feedback.
Ofsted changed its inspection grading system earlier this year in a bid to spur "coasting" schools on to improvement.

A PROLIFIC singer-songwriter who has written some of the most memorable music in the industry's history, comes to Yeovil's Octagon in January.
In his five decades-long career, Paul Carrack has played with Mike + the Mechanics, Squeeze and Roxy Music, providing lead vocals on hits 'Tempted', 'Over My Shoulder', and 'The Living Years'.
On Friday, January 24, he will perform his greatest hits and songs from his latest record, the soul-infused Rain or Shine, following touring with Eric Clapton.
The musical polymath told the News: "I'm 62 now and, as a musician and a vocalist, I think I'm as good as I've ever been.
"You're always in search of doing that great album, and I'm pleased I've been able to capture some of the best vocal performances I've had – it's just onwards and upwards."
The influence of Ray Charles as an idol of Carrack's is clear, cemented by his covering three of the artist's tracks.
Carrack said: "Ray Charles was a genius, no doubt about it. I grew up listening to him.
"I just love the way Ray puts his own stamp on whatever song he sings.
"Yet I wouldn't narrow down my influences to Ray Charles, either, as I've stolen from everybody – Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder; I'm a big fan of soul music."
Carrack has also written for The Eagles, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, Michael McDonald and Jools Holland, and appeared on over 60 albums, including session work for The Smiths.
Premium tickets cost £34.50, and standard tickets £29.50. To book, call 01935-422884 or visit octagon-theatre.co.uk

Hi. I'm Brent Vanni, and I work in product development at L.L.Bean. I'm here today to teach you how to stay warm and comfortable, whether you're going on a brisk fall hike or a mid-winter snowshoeing trek.
You might not always think about what you're wearing until you're already on the trail, but it's important to be prepared. Because your body varies its heat output during periods of activity and rest, dressing in layers is especially critical when you're participating in outdoor sports like skiing, snowshoeing or even hiking. L.L.Bean offers layer options in a variety of fabrics and weights.
First is a base layer. Choose a noncotton fabric like merino wool or our Polartec Power Dry. These fabrics wick moisture away from the skin to keep you comfortable and dry. This layer is worn closest to the body, and should be quick drying, close fitting and breathable.
Second is an insulating middle layer, like a fleece jacket or PrimaLoft vest, designed to add warmth by trapping your body's heat. This layer should be warm but lightweight, quick drying, breathable, and durable enough to act as an outer layer on warmer days.
The third layer is your weather protection. This outer layer, like a shell, windbreaker or rain jacket and pants is your best defense against the elements like wind, rain and snow. Your outer layer should be wind and water resistant, breathable and adjustable. Even on a short hike, it's a good idea to bring along a small backpack so you can shed layers if you get too warm, or put on additional layers if you get cold. You'll also want to bring a hat, gloves, and extra socks.
Keeping your head, hands and feet warm and dry will help maintain heat in the rest of your body. Whether it's 50 degrees or 15 below, dressing in proper layers is the best way to stay safe and comfortable in the outdoors, and you can count on L.L.Bean for the right layers for any outdoor activity, in any conditions.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Saint Leo five men's swimming representatives capped off the 2013 NCAA Championships in stunning fashion as the Lions posted ninth place finishes in the 200 Back and the 400 Free Relay, while finishing 19th in the 1650 Free. Despite taking just five representatives to the Championships, the Lions still managed to earn 108 points, finishing 13th in the nation.
"We finished on a high note and that is important," Head Coach Paul Mangen said. "We set another school record with Pawel's 200 Back, and the men won the consolation heat in the 400 Free, and in the process we jumped to 13th and overtook Tampa."
The first swim Mangen references is Pawel Trenda's 200 Back where he finished in ninth with a time of 1:46.18, just outside of the championship swim but good enough for a school record performance. He also makes reference to the 400 Free Relay with Milton Alberto-Requejo, Gabe Keown, Trenda and Matheus Assis that finished ninth with a time of 2:58.68.
With the added points from both events, the Lions bumped their team total points up to 108 and managed to jump fellow SSC school Tampa who finished with just 92.
In the Lions' other swim, senior Michael Cozzi closed out his collegiate career with a 19th place result in the tournament's longest event, the 1650 Free, He touched with a time of 16:39.37.
"We all learned a lot at this meet and to have 80 percent of the group coming back we have a lot to build on," Mangen said. "The bar will get set even higher and we will have to answer the NCAA bell when the time comes, but for now we shift focus to academics and planning for next season."
With the NCAA Championships now concluded, the Lions will return to Saint Leo and begin preparations for the 2013-14 swim season, which gets underway in October.

I am trying to plot a histogram of these values. A have a list with floating points. x=[1,2,3,4,4.5,4.5,5,7]
I use this code:
- Code: Select all
n = len(x)
y = range(n+2)
hist, bins = numpy.histogram(x, bins=y)
width = 0.7 * (bins[1] - bins[0])
center = (bins[:-1] + bins[1:]) / 2
plt.bar(center, hist, align='center', width=width)
How can i use this code to plot floating points? In this case I want a bar at 4.5, which is two high. But I only get a bar at 4, which is three high. Because the histogram doesn't differ between 4 and 4.5. This pictures shows what i mean.

- About Plattsburgh
SUNY Plattsburgh students cleaned up at this year's Region One National Broadcasting Society Conference.
They won 20 out of the 34 awards offered for video and audio work – more than any other college. And they competed against colleges from 11 states.
But they didn't stop there.
Three SUNY Plattsburgh students went on to win first-place awards at the national NBS convention. One of the three had a second project make it to the finals, and an additional student made the finals in three separate divisions. In fact, SUNY Plattsburgh's chapter did so well it was voted most improved in the nation.
"These awards prove to our students they are as talented as those studying at any other communication program in the country."
Sean McCluskey, a senior communication studies major and finalist in three divisions, never expected that his work would make it so far.
McCluskey said winning at the regional level was great, "but to make it to the national convention, that's completely different. You're competing against the rest of the 50 states."
Assistant Professor of Communication Christine Johnson was less surprised.
"Our facilities are wonderful, and the students are extremely talented," said Johnson "They really have very creative minds."
Johnson said faculty worked hard to push students to take a risk and submit work.
"I think that's why we won so many awards because people took a chance," she said.
"Obviously, I am very proud of all the students," said Peter Ensel '80, chair of the communication department and co-director of the Center for Communication and Journalism.
"These awards prove to our students they are as talented as those studying at any other communication program in the country," said Ensel.
First place:
The projects that made it to the finals were as follows:

The federal government's plan for a public interest media advocate to oversee press standards appears set to fail.
But a proposal for new checks on the impact of big media mergers and acquisitions on local content and media diversity could still emerge from last-minute negotiations.
After a round of talks on Wednesday morning, independent MPs Andrew Wilkie, Rob Oakeshott, Bob Katter and Craig Thomson firmly ruled out supporting the government's proposal for an advocate to oversee the nation's two press councils.
But while Mr Wilkie, Mr Oakeshott and Mr Thomson are also against the government's remaining four bills, Mr Katter put forward an alternative plan for a three-member independent commission to oversee media mergers.
The other two independents, Peter Slipper and Tony Windsor, are open to further talks, while the Greens reached a deal to pass Labor's bills in the lower house and the Senate.
But the government needs four votes to get the bills passed in the lower house - particularly if the opposition negates the vote of Mr Thomson as planned.
Mr Slipper, who believes his privacy has been breached in the past by the media, supports the legislation as a "step in the right direction, but a small step".
"In a democracy, freedom of the press is important, but there is such a thing as freedom of the citizen and one needs to strike a balance," he told The Sunshine Coast Daily.
Mr Windsor on Wednesday morning was giving the bills a "70 per cent chance of success".
Mr Wilkie said Labor's reforms had been "rushed and poorly constructed", and while he'd had talks with Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Treasurer Wayne Swan and Leader of the House Anthony Albanese he was not satisfied with what had been proposed.
Mr Wilkie said he hadn't considered the effects on Ms Gillard's leadership if the bills failed - an outcome the opposition says would reflect on her.
"When I approach it on its merits, I come to the conclusion the four bills are not worth supporting. If it has knock-on effects, that's for those people to deal with," he said.
The Greens deal includes a ban on more press councils being set up and a public interest test on media mergers to consider "the protection of local and regional news current affairs and local media".
"It will be a victory for the parliament ... if this gets through," leader Christine Milne said.
"This is really a case of the parliament acting in the public interest against bullying."
Meanwhile, a parliamentary committee on human rights said the media bills appeared to limit the right to journalists' freedom of expression.
The committee chairman, Labor MP Harry Jenkins, also criticised the haste over the measures.
Opposition communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull summarised the bipartisan report's conclusion as: "Shame Julia Gillard, shame Stephen Conroy."
The ABC reported on Wednesday night that sources had told them the government was withdrawing the bills because Mr Thomson would not back them.
But they are listed on the draft daily program for Thursday's session in the House of Representatives.
And Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said the government was still in discussions with the crossbenchers.
"We are still seeking to find a resolution to the impasse that is there at the moment," Senator Conroy told Sky News on Wednesday.
"I am not predicting one way or the other. The negotiations are ongoing."
He said minority government was "challenging".
Comment was being sought from Mr Thomson.

California citrus grower-shipper Sun Pacific Marketing has hired Bob DiPiazza, former senior officer at Dominick's and Sam's Club, as president.
DiPiazza, a past chairman of the Produce Marketing Association and The Packer's Produce Marketer of Year in 1992, has worked with Sun Pacific for the past four years managing the company's product development, marketing and business development through his business, DiPiazza Consulting Services, according to a news release.
At Sun Pacific, he leads sales and marketing, working with farming and packing operations. He reports to Berne and Barney Evans, directors of Sun Pacific Cos., according to the release.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/4/2014 (1217 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Anton Belov can't cut it in the world's best hockey league -- and knows it.
But instead of admitting he's simply not up to the task, the former KHL defenceman is blaming Oilers head coach Dallas Eakin for his disastrous rookie season in the NHL.
It's now de rigueur in the NHL for underperforming players to blame the coach for their lack of productivity, once they have safely found a new foxhole from which to lob grenades.
Belov is the latest case in point. Given the opportunity to play more than 20 minutes per game during 12 of the Oilers' first 24 contests, he couldn't earn regular work on what was likely the league's worst blue-line. Good grief.
Now fleeing Edmonton to return to Russia after signing a lush, four-year deal with SKA St. Petersburg, Belov told Russian reporters he was offered a deal to stay, but wouldn't return to play for Eakins. "I could have re-signed with Edmonton, but I didn't want to stay with that coach..."ã he proferred. What gutless tripe.
Oilers management sources say re-signing Belov was never a consideration after his dreadful campaign, which saw him get off just 54 shots in 57 games while scoring once and adding seven assists with a minus-12 rating.
Eakins took the high road Monday. "I can only say Anton was a great person and a pleasure to coach, and I wish him all the best with his young family and his career," said the former Jets defenceman.
The NHL requires defencemen to turn quickly, retrieve the puck and make fast decisions. Belov never adapted to this fundamental of North America's big league game and he became a liability on a liable blue line.
The 27-year-old's play regressed. He went from free-agent prize to healthy scratch in less than half a season. Now it's Eakins' fault?
There's nothing new about players not liking their coach -- hello Scotty Bowman -- but not until now have they regularly taken to skewering their boss from beyond range of retribution.
Last off-season it was Clarke MacArthur and Mikhail Grabovski sniping at Leafs coach Randy Carlyle after they'd found new homes. Here in Winnipeg, Alex Burmistrov's former agent Mark Gandler told reporters his client would never again play for Claude Noel -- once a deal in the KHL had been offered.
None, however, had anything to say publicly when skating for the man each later revealed he despised.
Hockey players are supposed to be tough and most are. But players like Belov show the most guts when there's an ocean between themselves and their target. Sort of like spearing a guy in a scrum and then hiding behind a linesman.
It's a gutless move, to throw others under the bus in an attempt to cover for personal failures. It's the only well-executed move Belov has made in terms of his NHL experience.
The player himself doesn't believe his own words. They were blurted out in a panic when Belov returned home to Russia and was faced with the embarrassing questions about his failure in the NHL.
Now, he's embarrassed himself at home and abroad.

Census Records for the District of Columbia
This entry was originally written by Johni Cerny in Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Population Schedules
• Indexed—1800, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890 (fragment), 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930

Slave Schedules

When the first federal census was taken in 1790, residents of the nation's capital living north of the Potomac River were enumerated with Prince George's and Montgomery counties in Maryland. Those living south of the river were counted as Virginians; however, the 1790 census for Virginia has been lost. There is no 1810 census for the District of Columbia.
Collections of microfilmed census records can be searched at the National Archives and its regional branches (see pages 11-12); the Washingtoniana Division of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (see District of Columbia Archives, Libraries, and Societies); and The Family History Library (FHL). Published abstracts of census records can also be found in those repositories.

A girl has been seriously injured after being run over in Cradley Heath this weekend.
The crash occurred on Station Road, Old Hill at around 2.40pm yesterday (Saturday). A rapid response vehicle, an ambulance, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Crews arrived to find a pedestrian and a car that had been in a serious collision.
"The pedestrian, a girl believed to have been 13 years old suffered serious head injuries and had a reduced level of consciousness.
"She received emergency treatment at the scene from medics and her condition was stabilised. "The girl was transferred by land ambulance to Birmingham Children's Hospital for further emergency treatment. The hospital had medics on standby awaiting her arrival.
"The driver of the car was uninjured in the crash but was checked over after suffering from the effects of shock."
In a separate incident last night two women were injured after a car ploughed into a tree in Oldbury.
The silver Mercedes crashed at 9.30pm on Dudley Road East, an 18-year-old and 22-year-old were taken to hospital where they are in a stable condition.
It is believed the driver had left the scene.

Heather Nguyen admits she isn't much of a reader.
The 12-year-old prefers her PE and math classes at Menifee Valley Middle School to English courses, and one day she'd like to become a doctor.
That doesn't mean she was at any kind of disadvantage Thursday night at the Menifee Union School District's spelling bee at Hans Christensen Middle School.
Quite the contrary, actually.
"I practiced a lot," she said. "I would write each of the words 10 times each in my notebook."
The practice paid off.
Heather navigated her way through 11 rounds -- and just one misspelling -- to fend off Evans Ranch Elementary School fifth-grader Taryn Watson to win her first spelling bee, which came during her third year of participating in the competition. She will go on to compete in the Riverside County contest next month.
"It feels good; it's my third year," Heather said while holding onto her trophy after surviving her one mistake in an otherwise stress-free round for the seventh-grader.
For six rounds, Heather breezed through words like "taj" and "etymology" with little break in her rhythm as little sisters Sarah, 7, and Leslie, 6, pumped their fists in the crowd with each correct answer.
Then, with just her and 10-year-old Taryn left standing, the spelling master dropped "aristocracy" on Heather and suddenly her eyes darted back in forth in search of the correct first letter. She settled on "e" and figured she'd lost the competition when the judges flashed three red cards at her.
"I thought she was going to win," Heather said.
Taryn nearly did, too.
But after swiftly spelling "consensus," Taryn tripped up on "nirvana" for her first mistake of the competition and the bee rolled into the decisive 10th round.
Heather immediately hit on "desperado," Taryn missed on "filibuster" and Heather closed the bee out with a swift spelling of "paprika."
Afterward, Taryn was quick to congratulate the older winner.
"I felt very nervous, but very happy that I got second place," said Taryn, who will be an alternate at the March 20 county competition at the Moreno Valley Conference and Recreation Center.
Two-and-a-half hours earlier, 54 of the district's top spellers between the fourth and eighth grades sat side by side until words such as "sufficiently," "forensics" and "quantitative" cut that group in half.
Five students remained after the fifth round, when Ilo Kelly of Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary School breezed through "subterfuge" as a good portion of the adults in the crowd wrinkled their noses and scratched their heads over the word, which means a deceptive stratagem or device.
Ilo made it to the final three but he was eliminated on "monotonous" four rounds before Heather closed out the competition.
Admittedly, Heather was just as excited as she was nervous about the chance to go up against the county's best spellers.
"I want to go," she said, "but I don't want to win because it's hard."
Of course, her father, Tuan Nguyen, said Heather battled the same kind of nerves before winning the district competition.
"She was very nervous before," Nguyen said. "I just sat with her this morning and told her to enjoy herself."

EchoSign Testimonial
Early in the year I received an unsolicited email from a customer that works for a large Texas independent school district touting the benefits of their EchoSign purchase.
"Today I did a MegaSign of about 1,000 Letters of Reasonable Assurance to our at-will, non-contract employees who don't work during the summer (we send about 3,000 total). A process that used to take a team of people months to complete (printing letters, stuffing envelopes, mailing, tracking, receiving, logging, scanning…)
with EchoSign, I was able to do this myself. I had about 40% back before I left work (with an average processing time of 21 minutes). Incredible!"
Mike went on to explain that receiving signed Letters of Reasonable Assurance is extremely important in that it protects schools from paying unemployment during the summer break. Without the letter, he explained, districts would "pay enormous sums in unemployment."
So…what is EchoSign?
Adobe EchoSign provides an extremely easy-to-use electronic signature solution.
EchoSign can work with all kinds of documents. The most common document formats used with EchoSign are:
- PDFs
- Word Documents
- PowerPoint
- Excel
- Common image formats
With EchoSign there is no need for your customers (or students, faculty, and parents) to download or signup for anything. They can use their mouse, stylus, or finger to sign the document (heck, they can even type their name into a field and have EchoSign create a signature for them), and you don't have to worry about what device or browser is supported. EchoSign works on all browsers, across all devices.
How can teachers use EchoSign?
As a parent, I would love for my child's school to offer a digital signature option. For example, say my daughter's teacher is charged with collecting fieldtrip permission slips from the entire 7th grade. The teacher can use EchoSign to easily complete and manage this task. The teacher would simply upload the form into EchoSign, add a signature field (drag and drop simple), and send the digital permission slip out to the parents.
I would receive an email on my mobile device, open the email, click a link and sign my daughter's permission slip (with my finger – touch devices are amazing)! For those parents that do not have a touch device they can use their mouse or a stylus. I submit the permission slip and receive a signed copy within seconds. The teacher also receives a signed copy (everyone is happy).
For those that don't immediately sign, the teacher can setup reminder emails that reoccur on a set schedule. The teacher no longer has to deal with last minute phone calls with parents scrambling to find and return important school documents.
What about security?
"But how do I know that it truly was the parent that signed the permission slip?"
That is a great question! If you think about it, e-signatures provide more security than the paper-based permission slips that the students are returning. The teacher has no idea that the paper-based document truly reflects the parent's signature or a forgery. However, with an e-signed document, the parent must log into their email account (presumably using a password) to view the document. An email-based delivery mechanism provides a layer of security that the student's backpack does not.
How about complex signature routing?
No worries! EchoSign has you covered.
I've also viewed more than a few documents that require complex signature routing. For example, a change-of-course form may require a signature from the student, professor, student advisor, and the dean of the college. If each person takes a day it can easily take a document almost a week to process. EchoSign can handle that kind of complex routing as well, and greatly reduce the time it take to process multi-signature documents.
Below are examples of common documents that require a signature.
- Contracts
- HR Documents
- Permission Slips
- Parent/Teacher/Administrator documents
- Progress Reports
- University change-of-course forms
- Student Parking Forms
- Student Housing Forms
…and the list goes on!
Fantastic! How can I get it?
Hold your horses pardner! You may want to speak with your Adobe Account Manager.
Ways to purchase EchoSign…
- Signup for EchoSign electronic signature software online (great for individuals or small teams)
- Speak to your Adobe Account manager (best for larger departmental and institutional purchases). For larger purchases, I highly recommend speaking to your Adobe account manager, as they can make recommendations based on your organization's needs and also provide you with the best pricing options.
When you think of your organization's document workflow think of the headaches you experience when trying to get paperwork signed and returned on a TIMELY basis.
Bottom-line… EchoSign has huge potential to save your institution time and money (while saving you from a huge document-induced migraine)!

Start writing! The first step to getting publishedNovember 2, 2010 • No Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog
The four principles of successful publishing are a core idea in The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published by Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry. The third point is: WRITE. To inspire you, here's Chris Baty's advice.
Top Five Reasons Why You Should Do NaNoWriMo This November
1. You deserve a creative adventure. We get so focused on paying the bills and taking care of people around us that we forget how important it is to make time to make stuff. Think of NaNoWriMo as a thirty-day writer's retreat plunked down in the middle of your busy life. It's a chance to recharge your creative batteries and explore your imagination. Whether the book you write is ultimately genius or dreck doesn't matter. Making stuff just feels great, and tackling big, fun projects helps make life more magical.
2. Absurd deadlines are easier to hit than realistic ones. Human beings are amazing procrastinators. Give someone two years to write a 50,000-word novel, and what you're really giving them is two years to feel guilty about not writing their 50,000-word novel. Give that person 30 days to write the same book, and they'll get it done, no sweat. Tight deadlines bring focus and build momentum, which ultimately makes them much easier to achieve than their open-ended cousins.
3. The quality will be better than you think. There will be beauty. There will be hilarious plot twists. There will be moments of unexpected synchronicity and rushes of writerly euphoria. There will also be a lot of crap. But such is the nature of first drafts. A novel is just too complicated to nail on the first go-round. If you want to write a book, the most important thing you can do is get a beginning, middle, and end down on paper. As a wise person once said: you can revise a bad novel into a great novel, but you can't revise blank page into anything but a blank page.
4. Novel-writing is actually a great social activity. The fact that 200,000 people around the world will be tackling this ridiculous challenge alongside you makes it exponentially easier to get it done. NaNoWriMo's forums are bustling with support and encouragement, and NaNoWriMo write-ins will be taking place in your city and town throughout November. Having company on your month-long writing adventure creates accountability and opens up exciting opportunities for literary smack-talk.
5. If not now, when? With everything else going on in your life, November is probably not a good month to write a novel. But there will never be a good time to write a novel. Do it now before another year slips away. It'll be easier than you think! And come December you'll have a great new novel to read—your own.
Chris Baty is the founder of National Novel Writing Month and the Executive Director of NaNoWriMo's parent nonprofit, the Office of Letters and Light. Chris is the author of No Plot? No Problem! A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days. He's currently hard at work revising one of his ten NaNoWriMo novels, and looking forward to writing his eleventh novel with you this fall.

Esher head coach Ollie Smith's men have been left in no doubt as to what he expects from them in terms of their defence this season.
The Molesey Road outfit held out in the dying moments of Saturday's National Division One 38-34 win at Blaydon to push their way into the league's top four.
It came in stark contrast to last weekend's 54-41 win over Old Albanians that saw Smith's men conceded four tries in the lacklustre final quarter that left the head coach fuming.
Esher have leaked 182 points in six games this term with only three teams in the league – including bottom two Macclesfield and Loughborough Students – conceding more.
And the former Leicester Tigers and England centre, who built his own game on a sound defence, admitted he hoped his men now had the message.
"My defence was always a strong part of my game so it has been frustrating to see us leak points," he said.
"In the last three or four minutes on Saturday we defended really, really well, but it shouldn't take a four-point margin to make you want to defend like that.
"If you had been around the club last week the players were under no illusion that the Old Albanians performance in the last 20 minutes was unacceptable.
"If they had been conceded throughout 80 minutes then that would have been slightly different, but to concede four tries in the last 20 minutes having already scored 54 points is just not on.
"Ian Kench said in the huddle after Saturday's win that defending boiled down to how much you want it. That cannot be coached.
"The boys have shown what they can do when they have to and that is the minimum standard they must stick to."
Esher host Sedgely Park on Saturday before travelling to league leaders Ealing the following weekend and then hosting third-placed Cinderford on October 27.
And Smith admitted it was a big three matches for his side.
"When you want to win the league every game is a big game," he said.
"Champion teams learn to deal with that pressure and perform at their best each week and that is where we need to be.
"We are happy with how things have gone so far. We should have only lost one game by now though, but we are nicely positioned and the next three games will test us."
Smith confirmed fly half Luke Daniels is liable to be missing for a few weeks with a twisted rather than broken ankle, while locks James Inglis and Harlequins academy youngster George Merrick are also sidelined for the time being.

TEENAGER Jess Taylor is set to cycle 1,000 miles in 14 days when she takes on the Land's End to John O'Groats challenge in support of her grandmother.
Sandra Wanless, 67, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2006, and is now branch secretary for Parkinson's UK in Swindon.
Jess, 13, has been training by cycling the 30 miles from her home in Chepstow to her boarding school in Stonehouse, and will be joined on the ride by her dad Paul, 41.
The challenge will be intensified as Jess suffers from a condition which can make her very sick.
Jess, who attends the Wycliffe Prep School in Gloucestershire, said: "I will be cycling for my grandmother.
"I can't remember a time when she didn't have Parkinson's. I guess it's just part of her personality to me, but I do know that her symptoms will get worse.
"When that happens, I want a cure to be there waiting for her."
The adventure will form part of Jess's Kirby Challenge Award at school. Jess added: "I also wanted to take on one of the biggest challenges I will do in my life. I want to be able to say 'I've done that'."
Sandra said she was thrilled when Jess announced what she was doing.
"I think it is absolutely brilliant," she said. "She has reduced many of my friends to tears. She wrote a little piece about why she was doing it on her JustGiving page, which was utterly heartwarming.
"I am extremely proud of her. They were talking about things they could do to raise money for charities in school, but she kept it a secret from me until they confirmed it, so it was a bit of a surprise when she finally announced that she was doing it all for me.
"She has been cycling home at weekends from boarding school in Stonehouse, which is a 30-mile journey. Her dad will drive up with the bike and she will cycle back the whole way, so she shouldn't have any problems with this.
"The only problem is that she has been diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome.
"Sometimes she will not know what is in her food, and if she eats the wrong thing she starts being sick. Some days she would be sick 12 times in an hour. She doesn't know when it will happen.

Is it me, or does it seem as though each market day begins with someone screaming, "The cliff, boss! The cliff, I see the cliff!" à la Tattoo of the 1980s television show "Fantasy Island?" It certainly appears to be more like that than like the "Let's Make a Deal" game show -- although maybe with a paperclip, some tape and scissors from my purse, a plan can be put together. It seems that tenuous right now.
Away from the antics of politicians, don't lose sight of the fact that the employment report is set to come out this Friday, so we might be able to take our attention away from Washington for a few minutes. However, before we get to that, we've got an overbought market to deal with.
The Oscillator did eke out a higher high thanks to a late-day run in the market Friday, but it was not confirmed by the number of stocks making new highs -- and, more important, it was not confirmed by the same calculation implemented with volume. You can plainly see the lower high on the chart of the 10-day moving average of the net of the NYSE volume.
As I have indicated, it is unclear if the market will simply digest the overbought condition, or if stocks will retreat to the downside. If the 30-day moving average of the advance-decline line were also overbought, I'd lean with a sharp retreat, but it is not yet there. We'll discuss this indicator more as we get deeper into December, and as the reading gets closer to an overbought one.
But two indicators do require a discussion. The first is Friday's extremely high put-call ratio, which closed at 116%. While it is not common for this to be so high on an up day, or when the market has risen so much, it is relatively rare. Most recently we saw it just about a year ago, also after a sharp rally in the market.
On the chart of the S&P 500 from last December (shown below), I have indicated with an arrow a session in which the S&P climbed 20 handles and the put-call ratio registered at 120%. You can see that a rally followed an equally sharp decline. So, in that respect, it was different from what it is today. In that case, the put-buyers were correct. For now I'll say that a high put-call ratio is bullish in general, but with the market so overbought, I would still not be chasing the upside here.
Another chart that I haven't seen discussed much is the relationship between the KBW Bank Index and the S&P. This ratio eked out a lower low Friday, the lowest it has gone since the market's September high. The banks have traded so poorly in this recent rally, especially relative to the S&P, that this has to be somewhat concerning. This ratio, coupled with the overbought condition, says it's a bad idea to chase stocks up here.
I say let's see how stocks handle the overbought condition. I think the market is too overbought to make much progress on the upside, and the best it can do is to go sideways and maybe even get some downside.

Many of you already know I sell grills at Home Depot. Most of the Weber gas grills we cary have black enamel paint like the kettle charcoal models. Most of the other surfaces on these grills are either stainless steel, porcelain coted, or enamel painted.
The next step up offers stainless steel parts in place of enamel and porcelain coated parts.
Just by looking at the grills, I get the impression that the enamel and porcelain coated parts would cook better and last longer but the stainless steel is more expensive.
Is the stainless steel really better?

Amazing what is coming online these days, it seems as if everyone has suddenly seen the advantage of digitizing their archives and placing them on the internet. A recent addition is the Calendars of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple 1505 – 1845. If you have ancestors who practised law then this site has to be a must.
I don't understand the process whereby a graduate of law became admitted to an Inn and it's chambers and then called to the bar, but I do know that this website has a lot to offer those with ancestors who practised law. The website offers a brief history of the site that the Inner Temple occupies, the buildings, the Archives as well as offer access to the digitized calendars and an Admissions database 1547 – 1920. Lots of lovely webpages to keep a genealogist happy.
A search of the Admissions database for the name Pottinger came up with 7 entries.
Using Richard Pottinger as an example I found the following on his record.
|First name
|Last name (standard)
|Last name (given)
|Admission date
|22 April 1769
|Call date
|Bench year
|Leaving date
|not known
|Date of death
|not known
|Judicial Appointment
|not known
|Father's name
|John Potenger
|Father's occupation
|Father/son relationship
|Eldest son
|Father's address
|City of London
I particularly liked that the surname was noted with a standard spelling and a given spelling. The surname Pottinger is one of those names that can have a wide variety of spellings and it seems that this database is well able to pick all the variations up in one search.
In my humble opinion m' Lord a very useful website

DETROIT - If you've been to the Anchor Bar in downtown Detroit, you may have seen it.
On the wall of one booth there's a picture of a priest holding a cigarette. But the legendary conversation piece has been stolen right off the wall.
"Who steals a picture of a priest?" says bar manager Vaughn Derderian.
He says the image of Monsignor Kern has been part of the family for more than 30 years.
"That's something that belongs to us. It's something that really means something to us as people. You can't just go out to the corner store and pick up another pictures of Monsignor Kern," Derderian said.
Kern spent four decades at Holy Trinity Church and died in the early 80s. But his name and picture lives on at the bar, displayed on a street sign and in black and white pictures.
A group of men captured on surveillance video are thought to be responsible for taking the picture while in town for a baseball game. They walked over to the bar from the DoubleTree hotel.
Surveillance video from Sunday shows one of the men take the picture off the wall, put it under his jacket and walk out.
"We really don't have any other option but to press charges. That's the process we have to go through. This picture is literally priceless. There isn't another one. It doesn't exit," Derderian said.
Police said they will be working with the hotel to try and track down the men.

Nationals unable to find big hit, drop out of first
Harper launches solo homer, but offense falls short against Brewers
WASHINGTON -- On June 25, right-hander Stephen Strasburg was hit hard as the Brewers pounded the Nationals, 9-2, at Miller Park. On Friday night, Strasburg wasn't bad against Milwaukee at Nationals Park, but the Nationals still lost the game, 4-2.
With the loss, the Nationals are now a game behind the Braves in the National League East. Atlanta defeated the Phillies, 6-4, at Turner Field on the same day.
Strasburg lasted seven innings, allowed four runs on seven hits and struck out nine batters. However, Milwaukee was able to get to Strasburg in the first three innings. In the first, Scooter Gennett, the same player who hit a grand slam on the rocky June start, swung at a 2-0 pitch and hit a solo home run over the right-field wall.
"I don't hit too many home runs," Gennett said. "I don't know if it's coincidence or if I see the ball good off of [Strasburg], but he's got really good stuff. I think it's somewhat of a coincidence."
An inning later, Milwaukee took a 2-0 lead on a home run by Khris Davis. In the third, Gennett walked and Ryan Braun doubled to put runners on second and third. Aramis Ramirez followed and blooped a single to right field, scoring Gennett and Braun.
Strasburg said he missed his spot on a couple of pitches, but he was most frustrated about the pitch to Ramirez.
"[Ramirez] is a pretty good hitter and you want weak contact," Strasburg said. "I have to do a better job of making him hit it on the ground next time."
Strasburg settled down after that and shut out the Brewers the next four innings.
"[The Brewers] hit a couple of solo homers," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. "Those are not the ones that got us. The one that got us was the good pitch to Ramirez. He hit a ball to right field with guys at second and third. If he gets that out, it's a different game.
"With Stras as a fastball pitcher, they are a home run-hitting club. That's going to happen sometimes. If you are going to hit a home run, you want it to be a solo home run."
Brewers right-hander Kyle Lohse pitched seven solid innings. He allowed one run on 10 hits. The Nationals had opportunities to score more than one run, but they went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
The Nats' best opportunity to score occurred in the second inning. Washington had runners on first and third with no outs, but Ian Desmond popped up to first baseman Mark Reynolds and Wilson Ramos hit into a double play to end the threat.
'That's baseball, dude. Sometimes, it happens," Williams said. "It's a credit to their pitching. [Lohse] makes good pitches. He is a really good pitcher. And it's a question of us not taking advantage of the opportunities tonight. That's why we play tomorrow, so we have to go do that."
The Nationals scored their first run in the fourth inning when Ryan Zimmerman scored on a double by Desmond.
Of the seven innings that Lohse pitched, the Nationals had a leadoff hitter on base during five of those innings.
"I was thinking of starting off innings out of the stretch, but I didn't want everyone to know I was aware of it," Loshe said.
Denard Span, who had three hits in the game, believed Lohse was at his best when runners were on base.
"He will throw anything at any given time," Span said. "He has three or four pitches and he threw them all for strikes. He just knows how to pitch. It seems like he gets better and better the older he gets," Span said.
Bryce Harper delivered the Nats' final run in the ninth inning on a solo homer off Francisco Rodriguez, his third, to cap a 3-for-4 night. It helped that Harper decided to change his stance during the All-Star break.
"He stood up just a touch more to get on top of the baseball," Williams said. "He lowered his hands a little bit, probably more direct to the ball. He worked on that during the break. He looked good up there tonight. He hit the ball hard tonight."

No question, for me, about the most interesting business story of the week: the launch in India of a $35 tablet computer called the Aakash ("sky" in Hindi). For perspective, go to the tablet department of Walmart.com, where $35 will buy you – just – a snap-on case for an iPad 2.
For anyone in doubt about the political significance of the announcement, Kapil Sibal, India's education minister, rammed it home:
The rich have access to the digital world; the poor and ordinary have been excluded. Aakash will end that digital divide.
