FCC Won't Budge on Infinity Indecency Fine
What a surprise. The FCC Friday refused Infinity Radio's request to reduce the $27,500 indecency fine imposed in December against WKRK(FM) Detroit's Deminski and Doyle
show. Of course, these days, Congress is slapping broadcasters (and the FCC) around for letting that foul stuff on the air.
The shock jocks were fined over a call-in portion of their show in which listeners were encouraged to describe sex acts they'd performed. It got plenty graphic.
At the moment, $27,500 is the maximum that can be charged for a single violation on a single station. But the Senate Commerce Committee Tuesday morning will vote on a measure to increase indecency fines. The House Commerce Committee passed a similar bill last week (see page 3).
With hundreds of thousands in fines pending for that and other raunchy broadcasts, Infinity officials would say only that they "turned over the FCC's order to our lawyers."
Infinity already has implied that it will go to court to fight a much larger $357,000 fine against the company's WNEW(FM) New York for sex stunt at St. Patrick's Cathedral by DJs Opie & Anthony. The St. Pat's broadcast aired on multiple stations.
If Infinity doesn't back down, the resulting legal battles could determine whether the federal government's push to clean up the airwaves passes constitutional muster or is a violation of First Amendment rights.
The FCC is also close to a decision that will settle complaints about its handling of a case involving U2 frontman Bono, who blurted out the f-word during NBC's 2003 Golden Globes broadcast.
As reported by BROADCASTING & CABLE in the
March 1 issue, the commission will reverse its original decision giving the green light for use of the f-word when it's not used as a specific reference to sex. (Bono called his award "f****** brilliant.")
The FCC also will uphold its decision not to fine NBC's O&Os. An FCC source confirmed that nearly a dozen more proposed fines and forfeiture orders are on the way, some for six figures.
The investigations include indecency complaints about Infinity's Howard Stern as well as broadcasts by Emmis and Clear Channel stations.
Meanwhile, FCC Chairman Michael Powell late last week told Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) that the FCC might not wait around for new tougher indecency laws before considering license revocation.
In a letter to Dingell, Powell wrote, "In light of the Commission's recently expressed intention to consider license revocation as a possible sanction in more egregious indecency cases, we will give serious consideration to designating for hearing renewal applications of licensees with serious or repeated indecency violations."
Powell also re-emphasized that a couple dozen complaints are about to be acted upon, with most getting hit with proposed fines.
The new get-tough attitude, no doubt, is about to turn some shock jocks into shocked jocks.

The interindustry employment demand variable: an extension of the I-SAMIS technique for linking input - output and econometric models
Moghadam and Ballard's I-SAMIS (integrated small-area modeling of the industrial sector) approach of linking input - output and econometric models is extended in three ways: (1) the interindustry demand variable (IDV), which incorporates input - output linkages into time-series employment equations, is modified to reflect differences in labor productivity among industries; (2) the IDVs are calculated by using a regional, rather than national, input - output model; and (3) the industry focus is broadened to include nonmanufacturing industries. The paper is concluded by a discussion of the I-SAMIS model constructed for the Louisville metropolitan area.

We are stuck in a bit of an awkward situation. Our son's birthmom (whom we have a very open relationship with - we talk several times a week) has several children that she is currently solo parenting. She then had our son and placed him with us, and then a few months later became pregnant again. She is still undecided about what she wants to do. She is very open to the idea of placing this child with us as well (if she placed the child she would want her with us), but as it will for sure be her last (permanent birth control is the plan) she is also leaning toward parenting.
We are ok with either outcome. But, it leads to awkward conversations because she hasn't made up her mind yet. I'm also very concerned about the effect this will have on our son. How do you explain to a child that he's the only one of a largish number of children that was placed for adoption. :( It breaks my heart to think of him having to wrestle with that.
Anyone else in a similar situation?
No suggestions as I've not been through it, but perhaps someone else will see it if I bump!
~Mama to my boys~ to a teen, a tween & a toddler and surro-mama to twins and their sister
Livin' in the sticks with my chicks and lovin' it!
2014: 4/52 projects 0/2014 things 0/52 books
I am fairly sure that my son's Other Mother (seems stupid to call her a birthmother since she parented him for about 5 years total) is going to try to parent again. I don't know how my son will react. Right now, he doesn't want much contact and EMPHATICALLY does not want to know the details of her life, but he's certainly going to notice if she shows up for a visit with a baby in tow.
No advice, just empathy.
My sister's birth mom parented kids 1, 2, and 5. Placed number 3 and 4 for adoption. My sister in number 4. It is something she struggled with in her early teen years. It wasn't until mid teens that she realized her birth mother was really in no position to parent 3, 4, or 5. We all realized 5 was a guilt baby for 3 and 4. It's hard to explain to them later that the birth mom changed and was able to parent when they couldn't before.
My friends have an open adoption and birth mom had a son on their daughters birthday 4 years exactly after. That was hard explaining, no we are not adopting your brother.
Carly, mama to DS C (5th grade), DD Miss M (07/09, fostered 1/10, adopted 08/10), and Little Miss C (11/10, fostered 01/11, adopted 11/12). Foster Son, Mr. A, age 11 placed 10/13.
My angel babies , ~01/08~ (twins), ~09/08~, and ~01/09~.
My daughter's birthmother (L) had twins she parented until they were about 7, had her rights terminated for my daughter, and is currently patenting a 4 year old. Jenny is 8. It is very tricky. One decision we made that we got a lot of heat for (from family members and birthmother) is that we never refer to the youngest sibling as her brother and we insist that no one else does. She has always know the twins has her brother and sister. She has met the four year old and knows that he is L's son and hopefully will realize that he is her brother at an age when she is more ready to process it.
pumpkingirl, she really doesn't realize that the 4 y.o. is her biosibling? My son is very, very clear on the fact that his toddler half-siblings are his brothers. I don't know that his attachment to them is STRONGER than his attachment to his adopted siblings (he's actually lived with us longer at this point), but it's definitely real.
Jenny only lived with her birthmother from birth to 4 months. Her older siblings feel very attached to her as their sister. But Jenny has never lived with her youngest sibling and has seen her birth mother very infrequently. She loves him, likes to buy him presents and play with him. She has yet to verbalize that he is her brother.

I don't know that his attachment to them is STRONGER than his attachment to his adopted siblings (he's actually lived with us longer at this point), but it's definitely real.
Ah. I did not realize that she only lived with her birthmother in early infancy. My son bounced in and out of care a bit, but he lived for years at a time with his Other Mother and was on-scene for the whole pregnancy and early infancy of his half-brothers.
He is now 17 and will graduate high school this June and he is a smart kid with a part time job. He turned out to be a great guy. But..... when he was an older child to a young teen he was full of rage and anger and hurt and he acted out in school and at home a lot. His grandma put up with a lot.
His twin brother is scary. He droped out of school and is heavy into drugs which his mom used and sold out of their home while he was growing up. It was always a bad situation and I admirably judged his grandma for not reporting to CPS all the time to get him too. But you know what I never called either. Granted I was a young teen myself but looking back I don't think that's a good enough excuse.
But even though It was hard on the boy he got the better deal in the end and even if it is hard for your son to grasp in the future I think he will come around and see it was for his best interest.
No advice, but empathy here, too. We have friends who are in that situation. DD is #2 of 3 (so far) and is the only one placed for adoption. The other two are living with grandma b/c mom can't get it together, so maybe that's a bit different. At any rate, our friends simply tell (or plan to tell, I'm not sure how much DD knows just yet as she's still young) their daughter that bio mom made her choices based on where she was at that time in her life. She thought she could parent J (big bro) but realized what a handful it would be to have two kids. So she chose adoption for her second baby. Unfortunately, despite the fact that it really was the best choice for her and for the baby (DD), it was also really hard and very sad for bio mom to lose her child. It's not something people do easily, and though it was for the best, she didn't feel strong enough to do it again when she got pregnant with #3. But #1 and #3 are not living with her, so it'll be pretty obvious to DD that mom is clearly not able to parent regardless of adoption v leaving kids with grandma. So IDK if that helps.
What really helps our friends (and us, too) is having multiple adopted kids who have different stories. We tell each their own story and compare/contrast the other kids' stories to them. (T didn't have any family who could help take care of him, just like you. But you were the only baby your bio mom had, and T's bio mom had 9 other kids. She couldn't take care of any of them, and now we have no idea where they are..... Whatever's age appropriate, of course!) I guess this my long-winded way of saying that hopefully kids will understand that every "story" is different and one is not better than another.

Forms of depression
I recently ad my son four months ago, and even though I love him to death, I feel like I don't connect with him. Sometimes I find myself just staring into space while he's cooing and trying to get my attention and I'm just not there. I don't know what to do about it. I feel really awful about it. Any suggestions?

Professional video certainly isn't what it was at the dawn of the Betacam era, or even what it was 10 years ago, and overall that's for the best—your current camera options are smaller and less expensive, and they produce higher-quality images than those bulky, shoulder-mounted behemoths of decades past. However, one thing those tanks had going for them was their self-contained nature. Native to the camcorder itself, they had high-quality viewfinders that were good enough to judge the focus of the standard-definition video being captured, and a form factor that promoted stable operation. (One side effect, of course, was significant wear and tear on the operator.) Because run-and-gun operation was for news-gathering teams only, lighting was typically someone else's concern.
Today's tiny handheld HD marvels need a little more accessorizing than their forebears—typically in the forms of camera stabilization, high-quality monitoring that helps with setting proper exposure and performing critical focus tasks, and for many situations, on-camera lighting.
For camera stabilizers, Steadicam is the Kleenex or Xerox of this market segment: the brand name that serves as shorthand for the whole category. Of course, as we'll see, there are other options. Since introducing its first stabilization system in the late 1970s, Steadicam has continued to update its line with simpler, lighter weight gimbal-based systems—many, though not all, employing the same type of iso-elastic arm that the early models featured. Other components that you'll see across this category include a "sled" (a plate for mounting and balancing the camera), a central post, a three-axis gimbal (for isolating the operator's movement from that of the camera), and an inertial control base (for mounting weights and/or a monitor and battery that make the stabilizer more like an impervious ocean liner than a keeling dinghy).
For full-size broadcast camcorders, Steadicam offers (among others) its Zephyr system, which supports up to 24 pounds, and for smaller camcorders, you can choose from Pilot and Merlin, which both grant fingertip-touch control over a well supported 1-10-pound camcorder. Like many stabilizers designed for small camcorders, you can get the Merlin with or without an arm and vest—whether you can go without depends on the duration of your shooting, your arm strength and your pain threshold.
Other companies that offer camera stabilizer systems include Varizoom and Glidecam. Varizoom has the VZAviator line for full-blown stabilization of larger cameras, and weight support via two arms. For a simpler setup without the weight support, there's the FlowPod, which takes the idea of gimbal-based motion isolation and strips out the weight-adding (and cost-adding) components to support small camcorders (models up to 1 pound or so work best). Like most simple stabilizers, you can add a support arm or a belt-support system to the FlowPod as your needs dictate.
Like Steadicam, Glidecam offers a full line of stabilizers, from sophisticated five-figure systems to the simple handheld gimbal-based supports that cost in the low three figures. New to the Glidecam line is the XR series. These entry-level stabilizers share many of the features of the high-end models from Glidecam, including a three-axis gimbal and a tool-free design. The XR-4000, XR-2000 and XR-1000 don't include an arm/vest support, but you can add one if you need it. The XR-1000 supports cameras up to 3 pounds, and it's only 1.5 pounds itself (before you start adding the included counterweights for inertia), so operating just with the handheld stabilizer alone—and your camera—might be just the ticket.
Of course, for camera stability you don't necessarily need a complicated gimbal/iso-elastic arm system. For many operators, just adding hand grips to a DSLR or small camera is all they need to steer the rig smoothly. iDC Photo Video offers an Accessory Mounting Bracket as part of its System Zero line of follow focus devices. DSLR cameras were not designed to capture motion, so mounting the camera on a bracket that's attached to a handle does wonders for engendering operational stability for when you're shooting HD video. This item does just that, and not much else, besides putting a cold-shoe mount by the handle.
At the other end of the spectrum of camera rigs, a company like Zacuto offers a veritable universe of Lego-style modular rigs, pretty much all of them based around camera baseplates that are mounted to 15mm rod supports. These allow you to add hand grips, follow focus units, and any other accessories. The Zacuto DSLR Z-Cage is a pretty simple setup, with three hand grips around a four-sided cage. On the fourth side is a camera baseplate with 15mm rods positioned in front of it. For shoulder-mounted stability, you might be interested in a more complicated rig, such as a Double Barrel, which includes dual handgrips, a shoulder pad, a counterweight, a Z-Finder viewfinder, and a follow focus. Zacuto makes rigs for specific professional camcorders as well as ones for general DSLR use, and you can, of course, buy any of their components on their own to custom-build your own rig.
For a more affordable camcorder or DSLR camera support rig, SHAPE offers a wide range of options that also tend to be based on 15mm rods. Its Composite Fiction Camera Support, for example, is almost a combination of the two aforementioned Zacuto rigs: with a three-sided cage encircling a camera baseplate, rods extending from the lens area and dual handgrips and a shoulder pad providing points of contact, the rig offers a plethora of ways to operate with stability and comfort.
When lightweight on-camera LCD monitors started to become available at affordable prices, video professionals took notice. Many of them were suddenly shooting high-definition video, which, with its much higher pixel count, is harder to keep in sharp focus when you're judging it on a camera's tiny built-in LCD screen or viewfinder. Mounting a 5- to 8-inch monitor atop the camera—one that offered image-critical features like blue-only for calibration, focus assist (peaking), and false color for setting proper exposure—became a necessity for many handheld operators.
Marshall Electronics has a great reputation for producing high-quality LCD monitors, both for installing in broadcast trucks and for mounting on a camera. Its popular V-H50 has HDMI input to accommodate both DSLR and professional HD camcorders. The 5-inch monitor weighs about 0.6 pounds and offers 800 x 480 resolution. For a higher-resolution (and larger) HDMI model, there's the V-LCD651STX-HDMI 6.5-inch model, which is native XGA (1024 x 768). You can also select models that have SDI inputs (even 3G-SDI), and as these are field models, there's generally a choice of battery plates (compatible with Sony, Canon, Panasonic or Anton Bauer).
The same applies for other manufacturers. Manhattan LCD field/on-camera monitors offer the same types of choices: the HD5 is a 5.6-inch HDMI monitor that also offers VGA, component and composite inputs. The monitor gives you peaking and false color features and also offers a special aspect ratio for Canon DSLR cameras, to display the preview and recording HDMI output without distortion.
For its part, Ikan offers monitors that generally sit at an attractive nexus between affordability and functionality. The VX7E is a 7-inch monitor (1024 x 600 resolution) that offers HD-SDI input as well as HDMI and analog video. With specs like that and a full complement of professional features (blue-only, peaking, false color,16:9 and 4:3 guides, plus a battery plate), it's an intriguing value proposition. Another highly affordable LCD is Avtec's 7-inch Visual Impact Video Monitor. This basic 800 x 480 HDMI/component/composite-input monitor comes with a sunshade and battery plates for both Sony and Canon. For more information on this technology, see the B&H InDepth buying guide, On-Camera Monitors.
Like monitors, on-camera lighting becomes more powerful and less expensive with each passing year. LED technology is a mature one at this point, and it's hard to beat an on-camera LED light for run-and-gun productions that involve shooting at night, or for indoor environments such as bars and nightclubs. Consistent color temperature and low power draw over the product's lifetime have always been great advantages of the technology, and now cost effectiveness joins that list.
Vidpro offers a full kit (the Z-96K) that includes a light, mounting hardware, a diffuser, a filter and a rechargeable power solution, for well under $200. The 96-LED light is rated 800 lux at 3.2', which may or may not be enough for your intended application. For brighter lights, you might step up to a Ringlite model from Litepanels, the company that first popularized LED lighting for pro video applications. The Ringlite Mini will get you 1100 lux at 5'.
For more affordable Litepanels models, look to its SolaENG 3-inch LED Fresnel, which offers excellent control over the beam, or the MicroPro LED, which comes with a ball head shoe mount and three filters that enable you to alter the light's 5600K daylight to 3200K tungsten balancing.
On-camera LED lights keep getting more and more affordable. One company that makes that quite evident is Bescor, which offers models such as a 180W-equivalent light with 180 LED bulbs. It's got a 2-hour run time with 8 AA batteries, but you can also power it from a car-plug adapter or a 12V battery. It's dimmable to 25% and comes with filters for matching various color temperatures. For a smaller alternative, there's Bescor's LED-70W, a 70W-equivalent model with 96 dimmable LEDs. Also dimmable, the light runs on 4 AAs and comes with a clear frosted filter and an amber filter (4300K) for indoor use. For more information on this type of lighting, see the B&H buying guide, HDSLR Video Lighting.
Other emerging categories of pro video accessories don't replace camera functions that proved unwieldy or expensive to build into newer, smaller form factors; quite to the contrary, they take advantage of new technologies that didn't exist ten years ago, such as large sensors built into video cameras, and the ubiquity of the wireless Internet. (Low-cost, lightweight LCD monitors also fit that bill.) In this category, you've got follow focus devices and camera-top streaming servers.
Follow focus devices take advantage of the shallow field of view that large camera sensors afford. Until recently, a follow focus was something that the second assistant cameraman operated on a film set. Now, with the advent of DSLR video and large-sensor camcorders such as the Sony FS100 and Panasonic AF100, video professionals are interested in racking focus from one subject to another in a repeatable, ergonomically sound way. That's where follow-focus devices come into play.
Of course, no longer do you have to spend thousands of dollars for a follow focus unit mounted on 15mm rods. System Zero and System One from iDC Photo Video are among the simplest follow-focus systems you can buy for DSLR cameras. They're the rare devices that eschew both 15mm rod systems for support and the use of gears for turning the lens barrel. These camera-specific follow focus units rely on friction to pull focus accurately, and like higher-end models, they have a standard focus wheel port for adding a whip or a crank.
While follow focus units have existed for decades, HD-SDI and HDMI wireless on-camera encoders certainly have not. Teradek's Cube line of encoders and decoders enables low-latency streaming of HD video over a WiFi network. This means that a roaming, untethered cameraman at a live event can capture shots of the back of the crowd, and this signal can be received and switched live to a projection screen for IMAG (image magnification) with less than a second of latency. Like many other accessories in this roundup, the Cube encoders (both HD-SDI and HDMI models are offered) mount easily to a camera or camera baseplate, via a shoe mount or ¼"-20 screw.

I had a breast augmentation 3 days ago. Yesterday I had a MASSIVE headache, and realized it was because of my lack of caffeine (I'm a two cans of Diet Coke a day type girl -- yes, I know it's bad, I'm trying to quit).
I had some DC and it made me feel better, but I'm worried that caffeine post procedure is bad, much like my doc said I could have alcohol in small moderation pre-op, but no booze for two weeks post-op. Should I be worried about having the stimulant?

The Fill method iterates through multiple results by calling the NextRecordset method on the Recordset, closing the input Recordset on completion of the Fill operation.
The Fill operation adds the rows to the specified destination DataTable object in the DataSet, creating the DataTable object if it does not already exist. When you create a DataTable object, the Fill operation ordinarily creates only column name metadata. However, if the MissingSchemaAction property is set to AddWithKey, appropriate primary keys and constraints are also created.
If primary key information is present, any duplicate rows are reconciled and only appear one time in the DataTable that corresponds to the DataSet. Primary key information may be set either through FillSchema, by specifying the PrimaryKey property of the DataTable, or by setting the MissingSchemaAction property to AddWithKey.
To function correctly with the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB, AddWithKey requires the native OLE DB provider to obtain required primary key information by setting the DBPROP_UNIQUEROWS property, and then determine which columns are primary key columns by examining DBCOLUMN_KEYCOLUMN in the IColumnsRowset. Alternatively the user may explicitly set the primary key constraints on each DataTable. This ensures that incoming records that match existing records are updated instead of appended.
If the SelectCommand returns the results of an OUTER JOIN, the DataAdapter does not set a PrimaryKey value for the resulting DataTable. You must explicitly define the primary key to make sure that duplicate rows are resolved correctly. For more information, see Defining Primary Keys.
If the Recordset is closed before the starting of the Fill operation, no error results. This is required for handling of multiple results, because queries that do not return rows are indicated by a closed Recordset. The OleDbDataAdapter just calls NextRecordset on the closed Recordset and continues processing.
If an error is encountered while populating the data set, rows added before the occurrence of the error remain in the DataSet. The rest of the operation is aborted.
If the DbDataAdapter object encounters duplicate columns while populating a DataTable, it generates names for the subsequent columns, using the pattern "columnname1", "columnname2", "columnname3", and so on. If the incoming data contains unnamed columns, they are placed in the DataSet according to the pattern "Column1", "Column2", and so on. When multiple result sets are added to the DataSet each result set is placed in a separate table. Additional result sets are named by appending integral values to the specified table name (for example, "Table", "Table1", "Table2", and so on.). Applications that use column and table names should make sure that conflicts with these naming patterns does not occur.
Values in ADO Recordset or Record objects are converted to common language runtime types for storage in the DataSet.
This overload of the Fill method implicitly calls Close on the ADO object when the fill operation is complete.
The following example uses an OleDbDataAdapter to fill a DataSet using an ADO Recordset that is an ADO Record object. This example assumes that you have created an ADO RecordSet and Record object.
OleDbDataAdapter custDA = new OleDbDataAdapter(); DataSet custDS = new DataSet(); //Use ADO objects from ADO library (msado15.dll) imported // as.NET library ADODB.dll using TlbImp.exe ADODB.Connection adoConn = new ADODB.Connection(); ADODB.Recordset adoRS = new ADODB.Recordset(); adoConn.Open("Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=SSPI;", "", "", -1); adoRS.Open("SELECT * FROM Customers", adoConn, ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenForwardOnly, ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockReadOnly, 1); custDA.Fill(custDS, adoRS, "Customers"); adoConn.Close();

Gap founders' modern art finds San Francisco home
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art will exhibit a large collection of important 20th century art amassed by the founders of the Gap apparel chain including pieces by Warhol, Lichtenstein and de Kooning.
The museum, also called SFMOMA, will interweave 1,100 works of art collected over 40 years by Gap Inc founders Donald and Doris Fisher with its existing collection, the museum and the Fisher family announced.
The works are due to be housed permanently at the museum and are set to be exhibited to the public for the first time next year. Some of the works have been shown previously on a rotating basis at Gap's San Francisco headquarters.
The agreement with the Fisher family represents a coup for the museum, elevating its profile among institutions around the world that house modern art. The Fisher family will create a trust to be administered in collaboration with the museum to oversee the care of the collection.
The museum did not offer an estimate of the value of the collection, which includes paintings and sculptures by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Willem de Kooning and other important 20th century artists.
A major expansion of the museum, which is already underway, will include a special gallery for the new works. An exhibit of the collection is planned for next summer.
The family's agreement with the museum came after the Fishers' original plan to build a museum in the city's Presidio -- a former Army base that is now a national park -- fell through amid local opposition.
SFMOMA, which was founded in 1935, was the first U.S. West Coast museum devoted to modern and contemporary art. Its collection currently includes more than 26,000 works housed in a five-story structure with a central atrium built in 1995 and designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta.
The new collection will "provide visitors with a deeper, fuller view of key contemporary artists and movements," SFMOMA Director Neal Benezra said in a statement. Continued...

When I begin a line with "#", all the content for that line is stripped, and nothing saved.
It's not cool, because in some situation such as I need to provide sample CSS code to my users, which contains "#" in the selector, and they don't see anything.
In another hand, I prefer to use "#" to numerate my points in answers, like "#1", "#2", etc. and that are totally removed.
Please fix this. Thanks.
do you use code/pre tags?
No I don't. I'll use for CSS code. But what about for list something?
PS: It's not just about code, what I mean is a small bug of handling the letter "#", it can happen in other various situations. Strange behaviour.
could use
<ol /> (Looks like theres a bug here though)

HTML is slow to type , I rarely use them.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, especially about the code tag.

Long QT syndrome develops for a number of reasons. The number of non-antiarrhythmic drugs reported to induce QT interval prolongation with or without torsade de pointes continues to increase. Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic being increasingly used for the treatment of atypical pneumonia. In this paper, we describe a patient who developed long QT prolongation syndrome after receiving clarithromycin for the treatment of atypical pneumonia.

You work for a small business that sells local artist paintings. You are the Web developer, and system administrator, for the six-person office. The owner would like to begin selling paintings over the Internet. She would like to have:
1. A listing of current artwork for sale stored in a database connected to the website.
2. A way to track sales and usage of the website by customers.
3. Ability for certain customers to log into a secure area to access monthly specials.
4. Ability to view the weekly and monthly traffic to the website.
She has asked you develop a plan to make this possible. Write a 4 – 8 page paper describing what is needed to make this happen.
And YOU say? This is a HELP Board, not a DO Board. We like to see your effort first and/or a clear statement about how we may help you.
Thanks to Writeacher, here is her lesson on "How to search:"
It looks as if what you need to do is learn how to conduct thorough and effective searches for yourself. That's what research is, and I'm sure that's what your teacher expects you to do -- conduct research. You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.
At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page
< http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en > and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.
Learning HOW to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:
... and one to help you judge whether a particular website's information is worth your time:
Happy searching.

DocAgent Mobile
Mobile Solutions for Enterprise-Class Document Management
Beyond File Sharing
Today's complex business enterprises need intelligent document management solutions with capabilities far beyond file sharing apps for personal document interchange, increasingly gaining in popularity today. While the rapid adoption of apps is an indicator that more efficient methods of exchanging information are needed now, these apps lack the robustness and security demanded for being responsive to customers and conducting secure business transactions on any platform, wherever the knowledge worker might be.
The DocAgent Mobile Platform by Digital Designs, coupled with Business Process Automation solutions for the Enterprise, solves this problem and provides a unified architecture for securely managing the sensitive intellectual capital contained in business documents.
Automated Capture at the Point of Origin
High-volume print runs by ERP systems generate tens of thousands of customer- and employee-facing business documents. The DocAgent Print Transformation Engine converts these print data streams into pre-indexed, secured digital documents for immediate availability on any authorized desktop or mobile device. In addition to improving responsiveness and speed to market this touchless process eliminates mailroom handling and physical document distribution costs.
Mobile Document Capture for upload into secure cloud document repositories adds a new dimension to improving speed and efficiency of capturing critical business information.

'The question of whether someone should be taking a probiotic or an antibiotic is one I hear fairly frequently. The answer, in short, is that this isn't a question of either / or! At this stage in time, with this level of research on probiotics, it is not right to suggest one stops taking their antibiotics, or takes a probiotic in place of an antibiotic. What advocates of probiotics may suggest however, is that one takes a probiotic with their antibiotic.'
This piece looks at the interaction between probiotics and antibiotics, and debunks myths that probiotics ought to be considered instead of antibiotics. Nutritional therapist Jo Saunders also looks at the research on probiotics taken alongside antibiotics, and their ability to prevent side effects such as antibiotic-associated-diarrhoea.

i failed to mention that last week i got a couple of things in the mail. one was a letter that verified the payoff of the mortgage on 9023 (a release of lien). the second was a couple of letters indicating that the qdro i mailed off was accepted and the money had been split and moved into a separate account. i also got a letter from honda financial as proof that my account with them was paid. which means that almost all the loose ends have been tied up related to tamara. the only things really left that i know of are her name on my state farm insurance and her name on the element title. the second one should already be in motion by the bank. i also probably need to strike her name from a few other things, but not much. then i need to go through her crap and either get it to her, get it to her parents, or throw it away / burn it.
i've been pretty stable about my lot in life the last few months. although i'd love to be in a relationship of some kind, i've been mostly content with just being on my own.
while i was at home for xmas, on the last day i ran into jennifer and her oldest daughter at the bank my mom works at. (how's that for a whiplash segue with an obvious direction?) i hadn't seen her daughter in over a year. she'd grown and looked older. i think i handled the interaction and such okay, but it made me remember how much i liked doing stuff with her kids, and made me wish i saw them more often.
and unfortunatley, it also brought some of my feelings for jennifer back up. it'd been some time since i just sort of fell into the ache of longing for what i've lost (meaning marriage, family, friendship, etc). i wish i could just get rid of that stuff -- it isn't doing me any good and doesn't really have any value. no wonder i don't let myself get interested in many women...i'd be an emotional wreck (which might make it more difficult to maintain my stoic exterior). i'm not sure if that makes me a hopeless romantic, a masochist, or an idiot when it comes to emotions. (maybe those are all the same thing.) anyway, it caused me to get contemplative for the last few hours i was at home, then i headed back to houston.
as has been my custom lately, i stopped in art at the cemetary where a number of my ancestors are buried. while there, i went ahead and packed my pipe and thought for awhile. after that i headed down to the house and walked around. my mom and dad showed up, but they were going to the deer feeders so they didn't stop very long. after i finished with the pipe, i got in the element and headed back to houston.

Sept. 17, 2012
By Brian Rice UTSports.com
Each week, UTSports.com takes a look at the numbers from the weekend past and the weekend ahead in Four Downs. This week, a legend, a big play and a whole lot of tweets.
First Down: 45 - Johnny Majors and A.J. JohnsonSaturday morning, the Tennessee Athletics Board voted to retire the number of Vol legend Johnny Majors prior to the game against Florida. The number became the eighth at Tennessee to be so honored, but the number 45 will remain in circulation this season and beyond.
The current Vol to wear the number, A.J. Johnson, turned in a performance to match the prestige behind it. Johnson led the Vols with 11 tackles, one for a loss. He also made his first appearance as quarterback in Tennessee's wildcat package, picking up a key first down on a 4-yard run to keep a drive alive and scoring a 1-yard touchdown to cap the drive.
Majors, who fans in more recent generations remember as head coach from 1977-92, was a Heisman Trophy runner-up who ran for 1,622 yards and 15 touchdowns in his three-year Tennessee career from 1954-56.
Second Down: Quick Hits
42 - Yards covered on a first-quarter pass from Tyler Bray to Justin Hunter. The throw and catch marked the sixth play this season that has gone for 40 or more yards for Tennessee. It was the first time Hunter had been involved in one of those plays.
102,455 - Attendance. The number marked UT's first sellout since last season's contest against Georgia.
16 - Plays in a second-quarter drive that was the longest of the season. The drive covered 76 yards and took 6:20 to complete, capped by a 6-yard touchdown catch by Mychal Rivera that put Tennessee ahead, 14-7. The drive also marked the longest led by Tyler Bray in his Tennessee career.
41 - Yards covered by Tyler Bray's first-career punt, a called pooch punt in the first quarter.
65 - Passing attempts by Bray this season before throwing his first interception.
75 - Receiving yards for Cordarrelle Patterson. "CP" has had more than 70 yards receiving in each of his three games as a Volunteer.
Third Down: #Vols Social Media Quick Hits266 - Tweets on game day from @Vol_Football.
8979 - Retweets by fans and media of tweets sent out from @Vol_Football.
1740 - Tweets from @Vol_Football favorited by fans.
297 - Total tweets sent out by @Vol_Football, @Vol_Photos and @Vol_Sports
9,670 - Retweets by fans and media of tweets sent out from the three accounts
2,017 - Total tweets favorite by fans from all three accounts.
7,909 - Times the #BeatFlorida hashtag was used by fans on Twitter on game day.
Fourth Down: A Look Ahead
1-0 - The Vols are 1-0 all-time vs. Akron, winning 52-9 in 1989.
2-0 - The Vols are 2-0 all-time against Akron coach Terry Bowden, with both wins coming when he served as head coach at Auburn.
4-0 - All-time record for Tennessee against current members of the Mid-American Conference, including a 1-0 mark against Akron, Saturday's opponent.
8 - Consecutive victories over non-conference opponents, dating back to the 2010 loss to Oregon.

How to Pick the Healthiest Breakfast Cereal (Page 4)
3. Save on Sugar
Look for sugar toward the end of the ingredient list (which means it has less of it). Also, watch out for multiple forms of sugar (and its many aliases, like fruit juice concentrate or evaporated cane juice).
Many cereals use dried fruit that's been coated with sugar. Better to add fresh or unsweetened dried fruit for natural sweetness.
Look for: Sugar ≤ 7 g per serving

Under normal circumstances, if you're served a cupcake and it comes with a pair of tweezers and a glove, you'd probably adamantly refuse to touch it. And you'd be correct. However, when you're at London's pop-up cake shop known as Eat Your Heart Out, you just go along with it. Bakers and food artists attend the event and offer up tasty treats displayed in the ickiest ways possible. Yum.
This cupcake takes the prize as far as I'm concerned. Baker Twisted Fondant came up with the Mango Fly Larvae Cupcakes, and they're gruesome and interactive. You use the tweezers to extract the edible "maggot" in the middle of the cupcake and then you carefully squeeze out mango flavored "pus." Even though the cupcake is probably delicious, there's no way I could make it through the procedure. Just looking at the photos is enough to make me want to hurl.
See all the gory details after the break.

About Me
My name is Angel and I am a photographer in the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area.
I was inspired to become of photographer at a young age when I discovered a book of Man Ray's work. I majored in photography during college, which resulted in my first image being published in the student run magazine, the Warehouse Journal. After college I began shooting professionally concentrating on the music scene while working a day job in a camera shop. My day job helped me to continue my photographic education by allowing me to gain a vast knowledge of equipment and introducing me to some of the DC area's best photographers. I photographed punk legends Fugazi and other local bands and had my work featured on several music CD's. In 1999 I began to concentrate on fetish photography, which allowed me to travel and work with amazingly talented people.
My work has been exhibited in the MOCA Gallery, Alchemy Nightclub and The Crucible Nightclub all located in Washington, DC. I worked several times as a staff photographer for EXOTICA Detroit and XBALL. My work has been published in two issues of A magazine. I am featured in the June 2013 issue of SKIN MAG: You can purchase issue 06 of SKIN MAG here

Predator for export wh/wk 5.7 limited?
Mornin guys..
I've been banging my head against a wall trying to find a predator hand tuner or similar to work with our WH jeeps in Australia..seems that all of them whether locked or unlocked wont work on our vehicles. Can anyone tell me why? And anyone who has solved this or knows of another model which will?
Another thing..the tunes I've seen seem to centre round 91 or 93 octane..why is that? We run 98 octane fuel in ours here..just something I've wondered..
Ah ok cheers man..we have 91 as base fuel then 95 premium and 98 premium..
Re: Predator for export wh/wk 5.7 limited?
As far as the fuel goes,the octane numbers are apples and oranges.US uses an average of RON and MON, AUS just uses RON.Roughly speaking 93 USA is equal to 98 in AUS.
Your best bet for a tuner is custom SCT tuning though you will need a wide band o2 data logger to do that as wellas the x2/x3 tuner.Be careful of the Superchips tuners like Flashpaq,they wont work either despite them making no mention of it anywhere.....don't ask me how Iknow this....
Re: Predator for export wh/wk 5.7 limited?
Haha thanks mate..I gather you were burnt? Is there a reason why our models wont accept them? ADR Emissions or some crap?
I had looked at sct tuners but no mention of any compatability with jeep hemi that I could find? I know the ford guys use them..

SAINTS are hoping Jos Hooiveld will be available for next weekend's trip to Watford, despite the defender being substituted with a hamstring problem in the win against Derby.
The centre half opened the scoring in the 4-0 rout of the Rams, but lasted just 45 minutes before being taken off.
It was only Hooiveld's third game back following a lay-off of nearly three weeks with an initial hamstring injury.
Saints boss Nigel Adkins revealed it was the same issue that forced the Dutchman to be withdrawn at the weekend, but he is optimistic Hooiveld won't miss Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Adkins said: "Jos was feeling his hamstring, so hopefully it's not too bad.
"We've got Aaron Martin to go in there, so every confidence.
"All being well, Jos should be available for the weekend's game."
Hooiveld himself said afterwards that there is "nothing to worry about" and that he was merely taken off as a "precaution".

Here is my Emma yarn. This pic doesn't show all of the color variations.. but there are subtle lighter and darker color pieces in this yarn. It is comprised of scarlett, hot pinks, and purple in various combinations to get this gorgeous colorway. Emma is 440 yds of 100% Peruvian Highland Wool in fingering weight.
This is my Willoughby yarn. It consists of browns, yellows, & rusts. The color is actually much less pumpkin than it appears in this picture and more brown. It is 440 yds 100% Merino Wool in fingering weight.
This yarn is Fanny. It is my most favorite of the group. Unlike subtle variations like the others, Fanny is complex and boldly colored - though together the colors seem muted and quiet, much like I imagine Fanny from Mansfield Park. This colorway boasts purple, green, yellow, and white. It is also 440 yds of 100% Merino Wool in fingering weight. In the last picture, you see the same yarn re-wound in a larger diameter to create a more prominent striping which is more aesthetically pleasing when photographed.
I may still over dye Emma and Willoughby to add a little more definition. I need to re-hank these so that the color variations are more prominent when twisted (like I did with my Fanny yarn). When I do that, I'll post pics of the finished hanks and then if I'm satisfied with them, list them in my Etsy Shop.

Instead of coming into focus, the race to the NCAA Tournament is murkier than ever. Another round of upsets, dramatic finishes, and great individual play highlighted a week that generated more questions than answers. Let's take a look at the landscape in another edition of Truth/Fiction.
Fiction - While the replays showed the goal should have counted, the mechanic incorporated by the officials was correct. In a crease situation, the official with the player running towards him watches the feet, the official with the player running away watches the body. The official who threw the flag saw the push from behind (away), while the official who had feet (towards) called a crease violation, claiming Davis' foot hit the crease line before the ball was in the goal.
Truth - The above play is a perfect scenario for the assistance instant replay could provide. Experimentation may take place at the NCAA championships this year, with reviewable plays being offsides, time verification (goals before time expires), and most importantly, crease violations.
Truth - The Blue Devils early season woes were compounded by a one-dimensional offense. The leaders are still Ned Crotty and Max Quinzani, but the midfielders are scoring more and taking pressure off of the dynamic duo. Throw in a healthier CJ Costabile and you have a nine game win streak, the latest a 13-9 win over Virginia in which Duke midfielders chipped in with five goals and four assists.
Truth - The Blue Jays streak of 38 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances is in jeopardy. At 5-6, Hopkins still has three games remaining and must win all three to have a shot. What helps- a strength of schedule that is top five. What hurts- no quality wins to date. While the latter is not an 'official' criteria for selection, neither are good losses. Hopkins needs to knock off Navy, Towson, and Loyola to be in consideration.
Fiction - Catalino is having a terrific season, but the best playmaker on the Terrapin roster is Ryan Young. His quickness is incredible and his vision uncanny. He draws slides and opens things up for Catalino and Travis Reed, two snipers who do the most damage off ball and in transition. With Young as the creator, Maryland's offense is more dynamic and a big reason they are 8-2 and in the hunt for a top four seed in the NCAAs.
Truth - And what a fun mess it is. Who would have thought that Towson would be one win away from the #1 seed and home field advantage for the conference tourney? Just as surprising is the fact that Hofstra is 1-3 and not only in danger of missing the NCAAs but their own conference tournament as well. The scene will continue unfold in a setting that could be renamed the Black and Blue Conference.
Fiction - Many believed the Wildcats would struggle in 2010 after their first-ever NCAA tournament appearance. Throw in entry into the Big East and a more formidable schedule and a hiccup was assumed to be a certainty. Well, they were wrong. Villanova is 8-3 with nice wins over potential bubble teams like Drexel and Notre Dame. LSM Brian Karalunas is a big reason the Wildcats are in the hunt for a return trip to the NCAAs.
Truth - Five games played at the Bank in 2010 decided by a grand total of six goals- two in overtime and two that came down to the last play. With Championship Weekend coming back to Charm City, lacrosse fans have already been spoiled with the drama of the Konica Minolta Faceoff Classic and Smartlink Day of Rivals. Something tells me that the best is yet to come Memorial Day weekend.

· "We all know that there are regions of the human spirit untrammeled by the world of physics. In the mystic sense of the creation around us, in the expression of art, in a yearning towards God, the soul grows upward and finds the fulfillment of something implanted in its nature. The sanction for this development is within us, a striving born with our consciousness or an Inner Light proceeding from a greater power than ours. Science can scarcely question this sanction, for the pursuit of science springs from a striving which the mind is impelled to follow, a questioning that will not be suppressed. Whether in the intellectual pursuits of science or in the mystical pursuits of the spirit, the light beckons ahead and the purpose surging in our nature responds." – A. Eddington.

I received a couple of The Hunger Games prop replicas in the mail today: The parachute necklace and the replica Mockingjay pin. Click my photos for a closer view.
Hunger Games Parachute Necklace
Wow, this piece is definitely not for someone with a weak neck. It's big and heavy, and the chain is long. It's made of pewter, and the metal is definitely soft enough that it would dent if dropped from any kind of height. When un-clipped from the chain, the container opens, and on mine the hinges were a little stiff and sometimes made it difficult to open or close the container. The container doesn't screw down, the lid is closed when the container is in the outer holder. I still haven't seen any shots of this in the film, so I have no idea if this is accurate or not. Last night, I glanced through The Hunger Games: Official Illustrated Movie Companion, but I couldn't find a single picture (even in the area labeled PROPS).
The Hunger Games Movie Mockingjay Prop Replica Pin
This is the official pin for the movie. At first glance, I thought it vastly different from the Scholastic pin, but looking at the photos they appear to maybe even be the same sculpt. For some reason, with the antiqued brass the bird looks off on the movie replica pin. It looks more like a mutant duck than a mutant blue jay. It's a lot thinner than the Scholastic pin, and the back is not a traditional clasp, but is instead a push-pin back.
UPDATE: I decided to take a side-by-side photo of the movie replica pin and the Scholastic pin. I think the sculpts ARE different, but very similar. The movie pin is a cast bronze-like metal and the Scholastic pin is metal plated gold.

Play A Free Game On Google For The Roswell Anniversary [Video]
July 8th is the anniversary of the "Roswell Incident" when something crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. To commemorate the date, today's Google Doodle is Roswell related. But it's not just an image, it's actually a full game you can play along with.
Basically you go through a black and white world as the alien that landed in Roswell. You have to pick up the pieces of your ship to try to take off again.
Now, having wasted numerous hours that I should have been working by playing this game, I feel like I'm an expert, but if you do need a bit of a cheat sheet, watch the walk through video to see how to win.

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
How dare they give up points to the then-17th ranked Florida Gators. I was once again disappointed that they did not get the shutout. With that said, they seem like they're playing with more than 11 defenders. Their defense is awesome, and I mean that in the most literal sense.
2. Alabama (10)
There you go! That's how you shut a team down! It was Vanderbilt, but still.
3. Oklahoma (8)
No team was more elated than the Sooners this week. They absolutely obliterated their highly-ranked arch rivals. More importantly, this game is in Dallas every year. Even though the Cotton Bowl is roughly equidistant from Austin and Norman, doesn't it seem unfair that they play this game in Texas every year?
4. Wisconsin
Wisconsin was idle this week, so not much interesting happened this week. How does that different from most weekends in Wisconsin? It doesn't. Badger slam!
5. Boise State (1)
Apologies for that previous joke. Moving on, I know Boise State is elite because they won by 50 this week and I was not surprised. Has Kellen Moore booked his tickets to the Heisman presentation yet? He won't win, but he's a lock to be a finalist.
6. Oklahoma State
7. Stanford
8. Clemson
9. Oregon
10. Arkansas
This quintet is where the trio of conceivable of BCS Champions ends. Along with the schools in the Top 5, Oklahoma State and Stanford are schools that are playing at a championship level. It's highly unlikely that either them will make it to the BCS Championship. Stanford in particular has a terribly soft schedule that won't do an undefeated season much justice. Oklahoma State has a more reasonable chance to make it, but they'd still need a number of things to go right, not the least of which is a win against Oklahoma. The point is, if Stanford somehow wins the BCS Championship, I will accept them as a legitimate champion. If, on the other hand, Clemson somehow wins, I will justify it as some sort of once-in-a-generation breakdown of order.
11. Michigan
12. Georgia Tech
13. West Virginia
14. Nebraska
15. South Carolina
There is one viable quarterback in this quintet. How is that possible? Denard Robinson is mostly runner, Georgia Tech has a general disdain for quarterbacks, Taylor Martinez seems like he just learned (poorly) how to throw a football, and Connor Shaw has barely played at all for South Carolina. This quintet does the exact opposite of what LSU did to Geno Smith.
16. Illinois
17. Kansas State
18. Arizona State
19. Virginia Tech
20. Baylor
Oh hey Kansas State, I didn't see you there. I mean that literally, I was not aware you were any good until this week. It looks like you're 5-0, including wins over Baylor and The U. I guess we have to take you seriously, but I'm very worried about the end of your schedule. Oklahoma-Oklahoma State-Texas A&M-Texas in consecutive weeks? That's tough. For now though, enjoy being undefeated. It won't last.
21. Texas A&M
22. Texas
23. Michigan State
24. Auburn
25. Houston
This quintet is dominated by schools from Texas, and Baylor is the next-highest ranked school. What does that say about the current state of football in Texas? Since this is the first week without a ranked Florida school since 1982, has there been a fundamental shift in recruiting? Is there more talent from other states or are talented players simply playing less for home-state schools? That is all.

It comes as the luxury-car maker, a favourite of James Bond, gears up to produce a new generation of sports model with the rumoured return of the classic Lagona marque as an SUV.
Aston Martin also revealed that it had more than 500 applications for just 12 places on its apprenticeship scheme.
