For some reason Access will not allow me to open any mdb files. When i click on the file to open Microsoft opens the install wizard for office 2000 and asks for disc 2. If i press ok its says DATA2.msi is missing.
However if i open access through the Programs menu and then go and search for the mdb file i can open it with no problems.
My question is how to solve this problem as i have to copy give someone a copy of one of my databases and i don't want to pass on any bugs etc... ???
Hi All,
I am trying to open a DBF file in VBA, I get the an error:
Run-Time error '91':
Object variable or With block variable not set
here is my code:
Dim oConn As ADODB.Connection
OConn.open "Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro" & _ "Driver};SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=c:Mine 01;Exclus ive=No"
I tried the following code as well, but it gave the same error :
Dim oConn As ADODB.Connection
With oConn
.Provider = "Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver}"
.ConnectionString = "SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=c:ME 01;Exclusive=No"
End With
Any ideas?
I need to open the DBF Files in the code using a connection string or any other method available through code.
It may seem a really silly question but is there any restrictions as to the file types that can be stored in an Access DB.
I havent used Access in a while, but have been asked by a friend to create a simple DB holding info about cars he is selling, he only wants to hold thumbnail images of the cars so I can either link or embed the pics! However if I try to link or embed a jpeg image nothing appears in the bound object frame except for the image title i.e. bmw325i.jpg if I do exactly the same with a bitmap image the pic is displayed???
The only other difference I have noticed is that in table view of the relevant table a bitmap appears as Bitmap Image whereas a JPEG appears as Package????
Any ideas
Thanks in advance
Im trying to work on an db in Access 2007 that was migrated from Access 2003 (in fact its been migrated several times starting from Access 97). It executes and runs with no problems in both versions.
The problem is when trying to open some queries (not all) - Access is unable to open the query in design mode and gives me this error :
" is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
However, as I cant open it - I cant check it. Im pretty sure none of the fields have invalid characters (they do have spaces) and Im not sure how long is too long....
I have a form named Welcome and have stored an unbound list box named lstExport which I would like to use to view and open (using the double click event) excel files that users will be saving in a specific folder on our server.
Can anybody help me with the code?
The excel files are saved in the following path:
Thank you.
Please help. When trying to launch MS Access 2000 I get an error: " Can't find the database you specified, or you didn't specify a database at all. Specify a valid database name in the command line, and include a path if necessary." When I try to open a valid Access file, the application simply doesn't display anything.Please help to fix the problem.
I have based a form on a parameter query, so that when the user is prompted to enter a 'Hobby' to search on, the relevant records will be displayed on the form.
Now, I have created a command button designed to open a template letter in MS Word for a particular hobby. The problem is, I need the command to open certain file depending upon the value input in the parameter box intially. How would I go about doing this?
In a record, I want to have a text box which displays the file path to a .pdf or .doc, docx file. If you double click in the text box the file within the text box opens. If there is no file path I want a small command button to be visible next to the text box, which will launch an explorer that will locate and save the path of a chosen .pdf or .doc, docx file.
I have a field within a tblPriceList called quotefile, which I want to store the file path.
For info. This is not going to be a major multi user database, but the quote files will be stored on a vserver, not the PC the DB is being used on.
I have a database which has several records with at least 5 documents needing to be attached to each record. Using attachments or OLE would cause considerable bloat, so I opted for hyperlink fields for all the document types necessary to save with each record. However, now I am faced with an issue. It is easy enough to write code to open the files by following the hyperlinks, as well as write code to send an email, but how would I go about combining the two? I need to write a code that will attach these documents to an email, as attachments and not as hyperlinks. I know with excel documents, I could follow the hyperlink and send the document by email through excel, but I also have images converted to pdf's that need to be sent as attachments.View 4 Replies View Related
I am using Access 2010 with Win-7.Shared, split database with several users.Database Purpose:PM Procedure for Medical Equipment..To be able for the user to copy the file name of 1 or more technical manuals and paste into a table used for a subform on the procedure parent form.Users can then open the related files stored in a common directory that are related to the procedure when later reviewing the procedure .
Problem:File path on the common drive for our group remains static Syspro_5VOL1BIOMEDCOMMONEquipment (Service Manual).The subfolders are not static.There is an unlimited number of sub folders by vendor, model, or make.The subfolders sometimes get renamed as vendors change ownership.The file itself usually does not get renamed.New subfolders get added as needed.Everyone in our group has access to this area of the server.
Question:Is there a way in VBA that when a user opens the procedure record form and dbl-clicks the name of the file in the subform, Access can start at the parent folder and keep searching through all the subfolders until it finds the file?I cannot depend on people in my group to be able to correctly update hyperlinks so I need a way people with no Access knowledge can even use even if its a little slow.
Morning everyone,
I have a really persistant problem with my database whereby whenever I click on a hyperlink (in the database) to a Jpeg file it will display an error message, "unknown file format" then open the file as normal. The access windows then crash.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so doe anyone have a solution or a way round it!?
Any help much appreciated, have a good day :)
Hi everyone.
I have a problem displaying jpg files in a bounded image object.
After connecting Access 03 with ODBC to a SQL Server DB (SQLSDB) I wanted to display the image content of a table (jpg files) in Access. Instead of images Access returns the image filename.
After installing Microsoft Converter Pack and Photo Edit from an old Office XP Edition I was able to display jpg in unbounded image objects and simple image objects, but still the problem with the bounded image object witch contain the jpg files remains.
Any Suggestions ???
Thanks for your time
I am working on a database with two main tables: One table that is linked in from another database, and another table contains addresses to the location of jpegs that correspond with the records in the linked table. (Every record does not have corresponding jpeg, only some of them do.) The way the forms are currently set up, there is a main form and a subform. The main form contains only a combo box where the user can choose a record. The subform shows the rest of the information pertaining to the record, including the jpeg. The problem is that all the other information changes when the user chooses a different record - except for the jpeg, it stays the same. The code to pull the jpeg into the form works when under the form load procedure, but the jpegs do not change when a different record is selected from the combo box on the form. I tried to do this a straight forward way, and then I tried using the RaiseEvent command, but nothing seems to work. I have a relationship b/t the 2 connecting fields, and I have tried all 3 join types. Any help would be greatly appreciated.View 2 Replies View Related

I am looking for a function that will allow me to encrypt/decrypt single image files as and when required. I have built my own simple one to encrypt a string that will be stored in a filename as all the ones I found created unusable filenames.
However I don't know where to start with the image file encryption.
(Any better way to encrypt a string that can be used in a file name that would be great too. My method is a bit basic).
I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.
I have created a database for a church cemetery. It contains the usual names, birthrates deaths, etc.... I have also created a map of the cemetery in PDF format with the lot number highlighted which is assigned to a particular record. I did the same in excel with a layout of the lot and a JPEG picture of the grave marker. In my table I created Three columns - Site Plan, Lot Plan, and Grave marker. I insert the specific site plan, lot plan, and jpeg picture using the "insert object" in the table. On my form after a search, I have created three buttons.. Site Plan, Lot Plan & Grave Marker.
I have looked and experimented trying to assign these command buttons to open these files on the form. I don't have any experience with macros or VB code.
The company I am consulting with uses Access 2000 and has no intentions of upgrading. I currently do not own Access on my laptop.
I was planning to purchase Access 2003 for my laptop but am concerned that files I create in 2003 might not be "editable" in 2000 even if I choose the 2000 format when creating new databases.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried creating a file in 2003 (using the 2000 format - as I'm told you can choose what format you want to use) and then edited it in 2000. I want my client to be able to edit the files in 2000 once I've moved on. (I can get 2003 for about the same price as 2000 - so my preference would be to get 2003.) The other obvious reason for going for 2003 is that I could run into the reverse challenge if I own 2000 and my next client uses 2003. At that point, I'd be forced to upgrade to 2003.
My databases are not complex - but do include some customized macros.
Any help, comments... appreciated.

Hi, I�m trying to Import an external CSV file in to Access and then Update/Add the record into a table. I need to be able to do it using SQL and I�m not allowed to touch RecordSet!
Does anyone know How I could do this or where I would be able to find help on this.
We are running two versions of Access (97 and 2003) on some of our machines. We recently set up a new workgroup file, but it seems that on the machines that have the two versions of Access the workgroup file reverts back to the old setting everytime the user logs in again.
What do we need to do to prevent the workgroup file from switching back?

The Miu Miu Spring 2010 shoes were pretty and printed. Miu Miu, the little sister to luxury label Prada, showed a crystallized collection (just like her big sister) but unlike the latter iconoclast designer, Miuccia Prada showed naïve, child-like animal prints on the Miu Miu runway as a way of, as she says, "questioning innocence, questioning youth."
The Miu Miu Spring 2010 shoes were definitely sweet, with a few platformed and embellished Mary Janes and silk ankle boots with a front cutout. These show-stopping shoes, however, were anything but innocent, as they are sure to incite jealousy when spotted on the streets.

Make-Up Marketing, the Ultimate In Customer Service
24 Sep
It's like make-up sex…but not as much fun.
Make-up sex is nature's way of keeping the divorce rate down.
Not only do partners forgive one another after a bad argument, but enjoy the bliss of being in one another's arms afterwards.
This feeling of bliss after days or weeks of pent-up stress often brings couples closer together than before the argument.
Make-up sex helps make a bad situation better.
So how can a business turn a bad situation into a better one? Employ what I call, "Make-up Marketing", the ultimate in customer service!
Makeup Marketing: Turning an unpleasant situation into a positive experience.
As a business owner or manager, we all encounter bad situations or mistakes in our business. In fact, the more customer facing people employed, the more chances of bad situations occurring.
No matter how well-managed a business, mistakes happen. Therefore, have a damage control plan or customer service policy in place.
By turning a poor customer experience into a positive one, or rather, by employing makeup marketing, losing a customer can not only be avoided, it can turn that customer into a loyal one.
Warming up to my server.
My wife and I had dinner at Kit N Kitchen, a small restaurant several blocks from the University of Hawaii, several weeks ago, and I was mistakenly served two of the four courses at the same time. Impatiently, I asked the server to take back the second course and keep it warm until I finished the first one. To my surprise, instead of keeping it under a warming lamp, they prepared an entirely new dish. The chef apparently didn't want the garlic shrimp to get dried out.
That impressed me. It demonstrated the concern management had for my dining experience, and it showed the pride they had in their restaurant.
They turned an unpleasant situation into a better one (and I have been back twice since then).
I might not have thought as highly about the restaurant had the mistake not been made!
I experienced Make-up Marketing!
Empower employees to offer excellent customer service.
Have a company policy that supports Makeup Marketing. Allow your staff to make bad situations better. You will create better employees while building a strong, loyal customer base.
…and, they won't need a cigarette after a job well done!
"Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning". Bill Gates

From Friends to Boyfriend-GirlfriendVisitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Male
I've been friends with a girl who I'm absolutely mad for now. I've known her for the past, oh, seven or eight months. At first, we were friends, and did many things together. I don't know if one could say that they are romantic, but I felt that we were coming togehter, as if a relationship was forming. Just before winter holiday, we did something together that made me start liking her. So, after the two-week holiday, I come back to see her and I find out that all the "chemistry" that had happened between us...umm...it seems like it just died. So then this depressd me somewhat, and it really showed. This drove her away from me, I believe, and thus she started to see that I liked her. Well, at this time, another guy had basically "taken my place" (we weren't doing anything at all together anymore...I know, it's so terrible), as she was doing all the things that she had done with me with this other guy. So it just added to my depression. This caused me to act mopey, and in the end, I wasn't a fun person to be around.
So then I tell my friend that I have these strong feelings for this girl. Meanwhile, the girl who I *adore* confronts my friend and says "Why is ***** so sad?". They play the guessing game back and forth, and she says "It's because he likes me, isn't it?". Here's where I'm done for, as she says "Yes, ***** really likes you". Ehh...that wasn't good...not at all.
I had already been acting a bit strange before she "found out" (of course I believe she already knew) from my friend, so this incident made things much stranger. We used to be very good friends, but now it doesn't seem to be the case. I used to be able to joke around with her. I used to always give her a big smile and say "Hello *****!", to which she would always smile back and say "Hey ***** !". If I do that now, she looks at me as if I am some kind of wierdo. This incident has really caused our relationship to be wierd....it's killing me.
So, my question is regarding our friendship. Is there any way to...ummm...get past this wierdness? I hope to restablish the closeness between us that we once had, because this whole situation is very depressing.
RomanceClass.com Advice
It's very, very common to go from friend to boyfriend-girlfriend. In essence, a boyfriend is a REALLY good friend for a girl - it shouldn't be a stranger you date. So it's a very natural progression. Yes, it can be scary because you don't want to lose your friendship. But you in essence gain a best friend.
I have tips on that here -
But it sounds like she and you were spooked by this transition and aren't sure how to proceed. I would talk to her. That's the only way to solve any issue and especially between friends it's key. Say you've always liked her a lot, obviously you guys spent lots of time together. And that she liked you too. So it's just a degree of liking that you're talking about. Ask her how she feels about it. It may be that she thinks you're upset or something, that you didn't WANT to be fonder of her. Who knows what she's thinking. Sit down and talk with her and find out.

If there were any doubts about the President Barack Obama's opinion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the White House dispelled them Monday, on the 50th anniversary of one of the country's most powerful symbols of wilderness.
"As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, we remember that this breathtaking terrain holds great significance to our nation," the president wrote in a proclamation. "Stretching from the plains of the Arctic Sea to the soaring mountains of the Brooks Range and lush boreal forests of the Alaskan lowlands, the rugged splendor of the Arctic Refuge is among the most profoundly beautiful places in America."
Pro-development forces and environmentalists have been divided for decades about the future of the refuge's northernmost swath -- the coastal plain. The anniversary of its founding, along with the Republican takeover of the House of Representatives, has reignited the debate.
And so has the attention from the nation's highest profile Alaskan, former Gov. Sarah Palin, who mentioned the refuge in urging fans last week to watch Sunday's installment of her reality show.
"You'll also see us hunting at the edge of ANWR, where you can see the uninhabited lands that warehouse billions of barrels of American energy supplies underground just waiting for the political will to allow responsible resource development," Palin wrote last week on her Facebook page.

Glenn Branca's 6th Symphony "Devil Choirs at the Gates of Heaven" has been my go-to large scale work lately. It brings to mind several thoughts that I have about music in general and about a composer's intentions.
As I listen to a symphony by Branca (and I think that I have listened to most of them, and of the ones that I have listened to I have done so several times) I often find myself wondering what the score looks like. Immediately after trying to imagine the score I ask myself if that even matters. The next thing that comes to mind, especially when listening to this work in particular is how a composer (it can be any composer) can manage to have such a firm hold on their style, where their music is instantly recognizable, like Stravinsky or Webern or Ravel, yet still manages to say different things.
I guess that might be an assumption, that the composer has to be saying different things with each work that is produced. For example, listening to each of Branca's symphonies, each (for the most part, No. 9 is an anomaly) calls for an army of guitars, and a drummer. There might be some other instruments mixed in there, but the most noticeable thing (and I think that it's the thing that everyone that has every listened to Branca's music, or at least knows about his music) are the guitars.
The cloud of noise that is created throughout the 6th symphony accomplishes different goals in each of the movements, yet it still (on the surface) remains just that – a cloud of noise. Of course, we can get into the argument about what noise is or what is considered noise, for days. For my purposes I'm going to say that noise in Branca's symphonies is that cloud of sound. It's so pitch saturated that it becomes pitchless and there are so many performers on stage, each of whom are attacking their instruments in a wild tremolo, that the intense, dense layers of rhythm become rhythmless. The music is recursive, and in being so creates a situation where everything that is becomes nothing, and everything that seems like nothing on the surface is what the piece is all about.
This might sound a little too vague, or faux-philosophical and lofty, but allow me explain. Let's go back to how the cloud of noise is used in a couple of the different movements. Take the opening of the symphony: it starts quiet enough, but as the movement begins to take off the strummed guitars' monotony severs itself into two different layers where one layer forms a consistent harmonic backdrop while the other layer allies itself with the percussion, providing sharp stabs of accent every so often. That "every so often" becomes more and more often as the movement progresses, yet the layer of harmonic noise continues underneath. It is steady and omnipresent. The growth of the movement occurs via the interplay of these two layers. So we could say that the cloud of noise, as it pertains to this movement, provides the backdrop. It is the base of sound, the music has no choice but to grow continually louder. By the end of the movement the layers come together again, combining their pitch and rhythm material into a dense haze.
As with all minimalist music the more that the piece repeats the material the more that the listener is allowed to search "inside" the sounds that they are hearing. Lines start to peak out from the cloud, some interplay comes into focus.
In the second movement an infinitely ascending line continues for the first four and a half minutes. The pitch material exists on its own, and there is no evidence of any guitar strings being attacked, or any strumming of any kind going on. All there is is pitch, and at the same time there really is no pitch. As soon as you are able to put your finger on it it is gone. There are some tones buried within that remain constant, while the upper limit continues to expand. It is music that describes infinity in many ways. Infinite space, infinite time (timelessness). Listening to this ever ascending line that seems like it is never going to reach its destination, it simply floats there, hanging in space. But there is motion, there is motion without direction. Sure it is ascending infinitely, but we have no idea as to the ultimate destination of that ascending line. The listener is left with no frame of reference, and that is exciting. There is a tension that is built up throughout the movement that is the result of all of this uncertainty. We begin to start listening for something specific to happen, we want there to be a great big arrival point. The longer that this ascent continues the more that we want to hear it and the greater our expectations become of something increasingly spectacular. It's the same experience of needing to have a leading tone resolved, only this leading tone goes on for almost 5 minutes. When it settles down, and we decide that we have indeed reached a point of arrival there is an immediate release of all the tension that has been building up.
Symphony No. 6: Second Movement
I feel that this is something that more traditional composers aren't able to harness. That tension. The ever growing intensity. Branca is able to create such a high degree of it here without any change in dynamic (it remains fairly loud consistently throughout the movement) and once again there are several other things that he is doing "without." There still isn't a clear statement of pitch. Instead we are presented with all of the pitches at once. That mass of pitch becomes, once again, cloudy and formless. The shape, however, changes and moves through time. The movement is more about an idea and a depiction than it is about pitch relations. It's the development of one idea that fits into the work.
The third movement uses more monotony than anything else. Consistent chords ringing out with a steady pulse. Everything sounds like a downbeat. Again, as with minimalism, we have rhythm that is so persistent that it becomes anything but a rhythm. Our ear treats all the repetition as if it is something that can be ignored. This movement is also maybe the most abrasive of the symphony, and the most exciting, in my opinion. The final cadence brings us to the loudest caterwaul of sound that we have so far experience.
There is some dizzying contrapuntal work during the opening of the fourth movement, and finally we have some shifting layers of sound, where there was pretty much none in the first 3 movements. Two different lines bounce back and forth, a constant blanket of activity over which haunting and thin ephemera passing in and out of each channel in turn.
Symphony No. 6: Fourth Movement
That there can be such contradictions in a single work is interesting enough to think about. That they can be achieved in exactly the opposite way that one would first think is another thing altogether. Creating a work with no discernible use of pitch, by using all pitches all the time; and a work with formless rhythm while having a persistent rhythm throughout. As I've said a million times before, it's about learning to hear differently, it's about making sense of the apparent contradictions that are presented to us in a piece of music, the things that we never thought were possible, ideas that can not be expressed in any other way. Listening to music, such as a symphony by Glenn Branca, requires the listener to consider something that they have not only never considered before, but never thought about considering before.

Adult Golden Eagle Satellite Tracking Study
Compared to young Golden Eagles, adults are far less studied on migration with satellite telemetry. This is largely due to the difficulty of capturing wary adults. We can learn more about Golden Eagle migratory ecology as a whole by studying adults, as they are proven survivors and have completed their migratory journeys many times over.
Where do they winter and how long do they stay? Do they use the same migration routes and wintering areas annually? What are the major causes of mortality, both human related and naturally occurring? These are just some of the questions that we need to answer in order to determine appropriate conservation and management strategies. To help answer some of these difficult questions, we have
partnered with Bryan Bedrosian with Craighead-Beringia South and Melanie Smith GIS analyst with
Audubon Alaska.
Click to see a map of our
two eagle's movements.
Long-term point count surveys of migrating Golden Eagles on the Rocky Mountain Front flyway (RMF) indicate declines in both total fall and spring Golden Eagle annual counts over the past 15 years and suggest the rate of decline has been increasing. This trend is more pronounced in the spring point count totals and may be due, in part, to an increase in mortalities occurring on wintering grounds in the Lower 48. In order to slow Golden Eagle population declines, it is imperative to understand the current fall and spring migration routes, stopover areas, winter range movement patterns, and potential hazards within these areas.
Threats to migrating eagles in the form of power line electrocution, poisoning, shooting, lead contamination due to fragmented rifle bullets in carrion and gut piles, vehicle collisions, habitat degradation and others have been ongoing for many years. Indeed, threats to Golden Eagles have clearly increased and may have reached the point where reproduction is unable to keep up with increasing mortality.

Determining Gender in Golden Eagles
Morphological measurements such as, wing-chord, tail length, body weight, etc., have proven to be reliable indicators in determining gender for several raptor species. In many raptors, females are often measurably larger than males. However, this is not always the case with golden eagles. By collecting DNA and comparing it to our morphological measurements, we hope identify the most accurate technique for sexing golden eagles in hand.
Wing-loading Project
In general to determine wing-loading, we utilize wing area and body mass measurements. Wing-loading is known in many species of raptors, but not in golden eagles. This research will add insight into golden eagle aerodynamics and behavioral ecology.
Eagle Lead Project
Lead poisoning in raptors, especially bald eagles has been well documented. A ban on lead shot for waterfowl hunting was initiated in 1991 to remedy this problem. However, colleague Bryan Bedrosian with Beringia South regularly detects elevated blood-lead levels in ravens and bald eagles, from the on-set and shortly after rifle hunting season. Evidence suggests that the contamination may be coming from gut piles.
Like ravens, golden eagles are opportunistic feeders, known to scavenge gut piles. This fall we collected blood from 35 golden eagles. These samples are currently being analyzed for lead by University of Montana chemist Heiko Langner. Preliminary data, using a portable lead test kit reveled elevated lead levels in nine of seventeen birds tested in the field.
Fall Migrating Golden Eagle Lead Project
Lead has long been documented as a serious environmental hazard to eagles and other predatory, opportunistic and scavenging avian species. Due to lead poisoning in the Bald Eagle, Golden Eagles and numerous waterfowl species, the use of lead shot for waterfowl hunting on federal and state lands was banned in 1991.
More recently, lead poisoning from spent ammunition has been identified as the leading cause of death in California Condors, prompting the recent ban of lead ammunition within the "California Condor Recovery Zone." Research on Common Ravens in Wyoming, headed up by Bryan Bedrosian and Derek Craighead with Craighead-Beringia South, Wyoming has shown a direct correlation between elevated blood-lead levels and the on-set of rifle hunting season. This and other evidence suggests the source of the continued contamination is coming from gut (offal) piles left behind by hunters.
It was though our conversations with Bedrosian that we started testing for lead as part of our fall migration ecology work on Golden eagles.
To date we have lab analyzed blood from 92 Golden Eagles and have found that nearly 50% of our sampled eagles had elevated blood-lead levels. We surmise the use of lead-core ammunition for hunting is likely the major source for lead exposure in Golden Eagles, though we cannot pinpoint a particular source species or specific region. This is in part due to the overlapping timing of hunting seasons for various game species in different regions of the Rocky Mountains and the very large area inhabited by Golden Eagles during migration season.
Although at this time it is impossible to show, if our preliminary numbers are representative of the northern migratory population of Golden Eagles as whole, we could be looking at a serious threat to the species on a landscape level. We feel that an intensive educational outreach campaign and/or a complete switch away from lead-containing ammunition to alternative less toxic materials for game hunting is the only alternative to protect these and other scavenging species, including human consumers.

In a report published Tuesday, Bank of America analyst Kenneth Bruce reiterated a Neutral rating on Blackstone Mortgage Trust (NYSE: BXMT), and raised the price target from $27.00 to $32.00.
In the report, Bank of America noted, "We are revising our earnings estimates for the mortgage REIT group after generally better than expected Q4'13 results. Results were particularly strong for the agency mortgage REITs that experienced yield expansion due to falling prepayments. That said, we think caution remains warranted for the group given the potential for rising rates going forward. Hybrid mortgage REITs also performed well as they diversified into credit assets. The commercial mortgage REIT sector continued to benefit from a favorable investment backdrop in Q4'13, which we expect will persist in '14.
"Despite the generally strong performance across the sector, we continue to believe that investors will need to be selective in '14 and focus on those companies that have the most effective interest rate hedging strategies and the greatest leverage to an improving economy such as the hybrid and commercial mortgage REITs."
Blackstone Mortgage Trust closed on Monday at $29.03.

While he was still alive, the mainstream media savaged investigative reporter Gary Webb, whose 1996 SanJoseMercuryNewsseries "Dark Alliance" revealed CIA ties to inner-city cocaine sales. The Los Angeles Times, New York Timesand WashingtonPostpublished massive front-page stories purporting to debunk Webb's reporting, and his own newspaper cowardly backed off his stories. It wasn't until after Webb committed suicide last December that his former employer published a belated editorial apologizing for the betrayal.
So now that Webb's dead, the job of distorting him and his legacy is appropriately being taken over by right-wing ideologues like Chris Reed, columns editor for The Orange County Register's opinion pages. On March 20, Reed published an "Unspin" column calling Webb a "new hero for the advocates of 'fake but accurate' news." But contrary to its title, Reed's 345-word column contains nothing butspin.
"The fact is that while Webb did establish CIA links with drug figures in his 'Dark Alliance' series for the San Jose Mercury News, plenty of honest journalists looked hard at his evidence of a CIA-crack conspiracy, and just about all of them found . . . nothing," Reed wrote. "How did Webb respond? A responsible reporter would have gone back and done more digging. Instead, he allied himself with the Maxine Waters paranoids, who claim blacks are the target of government genocide."
Rather than provide evidence, Reed spends the rest of his column comparing Webb's defenders to supporters of disgraced CBS columnist Dan Rather. But if Reed had done his homework, he'd know that Webb never allied himself with the paranoids who used his reporting to claim the CIA deliberately put crack in the inner cities. The fact that Webb agreed to be interviewed by conspiracy theorists who distorted his reporting is no more relevant than the fact that he agreed to be interviewed by centrist blowhards like Chris Matthews of MSNBC's Hardball.
In reality, Webb's Dark Alliance series had nothing to do with conspiracy theories. Rather, it alleged that "Freeway" Ricky Ross, whom the LATimeshad labeled the kingpin of crack, got his cocaine from Nicaraguan contra fund-raisers who had ties to the CIA. Webb wrote that the agency turned a blind eye to this activity and therefore was at least partly responsible for the crack epidemic.
After the mainstream media "debunked" Webb's stories, an internal CIA report acknowledged for the first time that it had a secret "memo of understanding" with the Drug Enforcement Administration not to report drug dealing by CIA operatives, including the contras. And contrary to Reed's assertion, Webb did a lot of additional digging after his series was attacked, and his cowardly editors refused to publish his findings, which totaled several thousand words of new reporting.
In fact, Webb included that information in his 1998 book, which also drew from the mainstream media's response as well as the Justice Department and CIA reports of that same year, which actually bolstered Webb's thesis. I also did a lot of digging and am still receiving declassified reports from the FBI about one of the drug dealers Webb exposed, an ex-Laguna Beach cop and weapons dealer named Ron Lister. (These stories can be read in our Dark Alliance archive).
Of course, the conspiracy nuts who distorted—and continue to distort—Webb's "Dark Alliance" to further their own agenda can be forgiven because, by definition, they're nuts. Supposedly sober journalists, as well as posthumously inclined hatchet men like Reed, should be ashamed of themselves. (NickSchou)

Last year, while both OCWeeklyand the LosAngelesTimesinvestigated allegations of political shenanigans involving then-Irvine Mayor Larry Agran, the career politician could count on only one media ally: The Orange County Register-owned community newspaper Irvine World News. Even while its mother paper's seasoned reporters covered the scandal, the World News—staffed mostly by cub scribes or veterans on their last beat before retirement—remained peacefully ignorant, never even bothering to cut and paste the Register'scoverage within its Local and front-page sections.
But that era of benighted obliviousness is over—or so it would seem. In its April 14 issue, the WorldNewsran an article detailing how Agran allies Ed "The Knife" Dornan and Frank Michelena bankrolled the 2004 mayoral campaign of Republican Earle Zucht. Irvine political observers allege that Dornan and Michelena did this to siphon votes from the other Irvine Republican mayoral candidate, Mike Ward, and ensure the victory of Agran's hand-picked successor, Beth Krom.
This story is already familiar to readers of the Weekly(see R. Scott Moxley's "O, America," Nov. 5, 2004) and even the Register,which finally ran the story in its April 12 issue. Nonetheless, readers of the WorldNewsmust still be scratching their heads. Throughout Agran's 2004 campaign, the paper served as a tabloid for Agran and his allies. Just a month before the Weeklyand Timesreported Agran had tried to steer a lucrative utility contract to Dornan, the WorldNewsran a Registerarticle praising Agran as a gentleman.
Instead of digging into the relationships between Agran, Dornan and various corporations lobbying for Great Park contracts, the WorldNewsdevoted three articles in its Oct. 7 issue attacking a mailer published by Krom opponents that mimicked the look and feel of the World News. And even when Registerpolitical reporter Martin Wisckol finally reported on the Agran scandal on Oct. 23, the WorldNewsdidn't pick up his story.
Wisckol also wrote the April 12 piece that, for those who rely on the WorldNewsfor news, provided the first hint of Agran's well-known history of corruption. But while the Registerpublished it on its front page, the WorldNewsburied Wisckol's article on Page 11. (Gustavo Arellano)

What are some of the problems that you face when trying to access websites that cover topics of interest to you?
Is there a distinct lack of website design/solution for a particular area in your life that you would like to see resolved?
Is there a general trend in the websites that cater to your interest that lessen your user experience? Eg. Poor layout/navigation, abundance of sites covering one aspect but lack of sites covering all etc
I'm looking for serious ideas for a usability project, where I must research/identify a problem area and resolve it, and since as a community we have a handful of distinct, similar interests, I thought it would be a good place to take a sample.
Note: If at all possible try not to be overly esoteric in your choices of topics. I would hope that your problem(s) are those that would be encountered by a reasonable amount of users :P

Minnesotans wrongfully convicted of a crime would receive up to $100,000 for each year they spent behind bars, plus reimbursements for other court costs thanks to a bill that passed the House of Representatives this week.
The bill would help someone like Michael Hansen. He was convicted in the death of his baby daughter and spent almost seven years in prison. With assistance from the Innocence Project of Minnesota, Hansen was able to show the girl's death was accidental, and the charges were dismissed in 2011.
Minnesota is one of about 20 states that do not compensate people who have been wrongfully convicted. The bill also includes a mechanism for exonerated people to receive transitional services like career counseling and mental health treatment once they leave the prison walls.
Exoneration is rare, but it does happen. Across the country, 2013 was a record year for exonerations. At least 87 people were set free for crimes they did not commit last year, the highest number since researchers began keeping track more than two decades ago.
In addition to Hansen, Koua Fong Lee of St. Paul and Sherman Townsend of Minneapolis are two other Minnesota examples. Fong Lee was convicted of criminal vehicular homicide in 2007. He hit two vehicles and killed three people and injured two others. Fong Lee said throughout the investigation that he was trying to brake when the car accelerated. The conviction was later vacated after a Ramsey County judge found ineffective assistance of counsel with Lee's first defense attorney. The Ramsey County Attorney decided to not retry Lee and he was set free.
Townsend was imprisoned for 10 years after being falsely convicted in a 1997 home invasion. The actual perpetrator of the crime lied and told police he saw Townsend fleeing the home. The man went to prison many years later and confessed that Townsend did not belong behind bars
The bill would also pay up to $50,000 for the time someone was wrongfully on supervised release or listed as a registered offender.
Exonerated people would then file claims with the state Supreme Court. The chief justice appoints a three-member panel to determine damages. The Senate is expected to vote on the bill soon.

Dec 13 (Reuters) - NuStar Energy L.P will expand its crude oil pipeline system in the Eagle Ford shale in South Texas and build a new ship dock in Corpus Christi to better handle production growth in the prolific play, the company said on Thursday.
The plan includes a long-term pipeline and terminal services agreement with ConocoPhillips, one of the Eagle Ford's major producers.
The pipeline system expansion will include a new 100,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) pipeline originating near Pawnee, Texas, that will connect to NuStar's existing 12-inch system between Pettus and Three Rivers.
NuStar also will connect its existing 12-inch pipeline to the company's Oakville, Texas, terminal to deliver crude to its North Beach terminal.
The company also aims to build the new ship dock to support the North Beach terminal under a long-term lease with the Port of Corpus Christi. That private dock and refinery connections will allow for more pipeline system expansions as Eagle Ford output grows, the company said.
The pipeline expansion and dock projects will cost $100 million to $120 million. The pipeline project is slated to be finished in the fourth quarter next year, while the dock project is expected to be done by the first quarter of 2014, the company said.
In July, NuStar completed a third pipeline to carry Eagle Ford crude to the Port of Corpus Christi, which gave the company ability to move 250,000 bpd to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries.

Letter urges Town Meeting
to vote "no" on Newman funds
As the Needham Town Meeting prepares to vote on appropriating $450,000 for design plans for the Newman Elementary School renovation project, some parents are urging members to vote 'no'.
In an open letter to Town Meeting members, Newman parent Rick Freedman said the town has failed to analyze all the options before moving ahead with a project that could cost taxpayers millions.
"Because the School Committee has failed to conduct this simple and valuable analysis—or if they have done so they have failed to share it with the public—I urge Town Meeting to vote "NO" to funding these designs until such analysis of the costs and benefits of short, medium and long-range solutions have been completed and can be studied by Town Meeting," he wrote in the letter.
"…I implore Town Meeting to review the cost and feasibility of other options besides the "permanent" HVAC fix by commissioning a formal analysis from the project architects DRA, and reviewing the results with the town members," the letter goes on to say. "This analysis could be done in a few days and is worth the time given the size of the proposed project and the corresponding impact to our town's bottom line and our Newman families."
School officials announced earlier this year that they would be working with the Massachusetts School Building Authority to design and fund the renovation of the school's heating and ventilation system along with other school upgrades. The project is estimated to cost upwards of $20 million, and could take between 12 and 15 months to complete. The state school building authority could fund as much as 40 percent of the renovations, though an exact number has yet to be determined.
(See our previous coverage here.)
"The proposed "permanent" HVAC solution will be VERY expensive and VERY disruptive to the parents and children who are supposed to attend Newman," Freedman said. "It is not clear to myself or to many other parents why it makes sense to spend close to $25 million in total to update the HVAC system of a 45 year old building, when the total cost for a Permanent Solution, i.e. to replace the building entirely, has been estimated to cost as little as $31 million."
Freedman also expressed concern that state budget problems would force the school building authority to withdraw its promise to help fund the project.
"If the MSBA funds are not forthcoming, or the override does not pass, then this $450,000 in design funds will have been wasted," he said.
Town Meeting is scheduled to vote on the design funds next Monday, May 11th at a special Town Meeting.

It's reasonable to disagree with the proposed solution.
But you cannot reasonably disagree on the premise that the issue hasn't been studied enough. The opposite is true, and submitting this to more study would itself be a waste of money.
I am quite conifdent that every good alternative has been thoroughly reviewed. Though this proposal has its own drawbacks, ALL the other options are worse.
This is the best proposal we have. It's time to move on.
Actually, the cost of expanding last summer's "temporary fix" to the remaining portion of the building has never been studied. As I say in my letter, an analysis of this sort should take no more than a few hours to do.
I am not confident that every good alternative, including the ones mentioned in this article, have been reviewed. I'd be very happy if they have been reviewed already for them to be shared with the family of Newman students.
Mr. Freedman is correct. The limited scope HVAC repairs/replacement have not been considered. This is documented in the numerous draft reports released by the PPBC.
Here we go again! Another waste of my taxpayer money! The alternatives have not been studied at the same level as the School Committee's proposal. If the School Committee's proposal turns out to be the best proposal then so be it. But I don't believe that this is the case. Until all possibilities have been equally analyzed in a public forum then we should hold off before committing such significant resources.
The School Committee's $21M proposal is a poor one. We should all vote NO -- for the sake of the Newman kids and for the sake of the town's budget.
It is of great concern that the best argument in favor of this makeover is "it's not as bad as it could be". Other towns have accomplished similar HVAC renovations for far less money and in far less time. Vote NO to the current options and force a targeted, cost effective solution without the frills.
Vote NO! Putting 600 children—some as young as six—on site during construction is irresponsible. As a Newman parent, whose youngest child will be in third grade during construction, I do not support this plan.
Construction is dangerous, and the logistical issues of this plan are a nightmare. During construction, the children will be in Newman every day for lunch and at other times for gym class, etc. The children will be in one of 38 modular classrooms in the parking lot during much of the day, but—during construction—they will spend part of every day in Newman.
If Needham's citizens want to be educated and understand the FACTS around this situation, rather than the convenient interpretation of a very small group of people, they should attend Town Meeting on Monday, May 11, at 7:00 p.m. in the Newman School Auditorium where members of School Committee, Fin Comm, Selectmen, PPBC and others are expected to offer comment prior to Town Meeting's vote on Article 3 re: Newman's fix. To base one's opinion on the opinion of others who have been only peripherally involved, rather than on solid evidence from those charged with investigating the options, is irresponsible.
FACT: Last year, Needham's Capital Improvement Plan estimated the cost of a Newman HVAC replacement at $2 million to $4.5 million
FACT: Acton, Shawseen, and Braintree accomplished school HVAC renovations with projects ranging from $500K to $4.5M in cost
FACT: The posters above who speak in favor of the current Newman renovation proposal will not have children at Newman during the construction.
I agree -- look at facts instead of vague, general statements, and when you hear conflicting statements, VERIFY.
The postings on this list have been made by thoughtful parents intimately involved in the process. Every comment, letter or post I have ever published on this topic has been backed up by hard, indisputable facts from PPBC reports, Globe articles, or the MSBA website and related documents.
For Ms. Sherman to suggest that I have been uninvolved -- or even more appallingly, that Ms. Rogers has been uninvolved, is offensive and absurd. Most Newman parents are well aware of Ms. Roger's exemplary service to the schools, including her advocacy on behalf of Newman when the duct failure first occurred.
Apparently, Ms. Sherman only respects those that share her agenda for a no-expense-is-to-great Newman makeover.
We live in a democracy, where it is not only the right, but also the responsibility of citizens to question actions made (or to be made) on their behalf by elected officials. As such, I regularly attend—and have encouraged other parents to attend—public meetings where Town business is supposed to be conducted.
Last year, I attended just about every meeting that was held regarding the Newman HV malfunction, and I strongly advocated for both short-term remediation and a long-term solution. This year, I have attended as many town wide meetings on this issue as possible, as have Ms. Horrigan and Mr. Freedman, including the very poorly attended Public Hearing held on April 16.
I want to support the replacement of the HV system, but I can't support the current plan because:
• it includes other extensive renovations, such as remodeling and expanding the kitchen
• it has children on site during construction
• it will cost the Town $4 to $6 million dollars just for the modulars
You may disagree with my conclusions, but my facts come right from school department documents.

Tales of Interest: What Do Baseball and The Youth of America Have in Common?January 30, 2009
I figured that I would start to run out of stuff to write about eventually, so I figured that I would re-post my research on baseball fans as a youth subculture. I will post them up in different parts, but each part will have the full works cited as to give credit to those whose research I borrowed.
I wrote this research paper last semester, for an education class titled "Youth Cultures" at the Ambler Campus of Temple University. Please be advised some of the research contains interviews that I conducted, has less than "stellar" language; I will try to edit out most of the bad language.
So with out anymore posturing, on with the show...
To look at the history of baseball as a youth subculture, one would have to look in broader terms: sports, more specifically fandom in sports as a youth subculture. Fandom in sports as the overall, broad picture is based in European football (in the United States and the rest of North America its called soccer).
In the journal article titled Basking in Reflected Glory and Blasting: Differences in Identity-Management Strategies Between Two Groups of Highly Identified Soccer Fans, found the Journal of Language and Social Psychology, Assollant, Lacassagne, and Braddock quote Wann and Branscombe as noting that "Contemporary sport psychologists have found sport team identification—the extent to which an individual feels a psychological connection to a particular team or athlete to be a strong predictor of spectators' reactions to their team's performance" (381).
Baseball as sport has its conception in the late 1800s, took off as America's pastime during the early part of the 20th Century and continues to flourish as America's Pastime into the early 21st Century. The sport of baseball itself has "evolved from earlier bat and ball games like rounders, town ball, one o'cat" (Morgan 9). Kids have been playing the sport for many generations, and continue to play the sport into the current century.
So how has baseball evolved into a subculture? With the sport's roots based firmly in fandom, members of a sport's fan base have "indicated that the level of team identification is a critical factor in determining which strategy will be adopted; it provides limited insight into the diverse range of highly identified fans' reactions to their team performances" (Assollant, Lacassagne and Braddock 382).
Youths while at these sporting events identify themselves with a team and root for that team, but there is contrast between fans of North America and Europe. Assollant, Lacassagne and Braddock note Bodin and Roumestan in their journal article that the:
"Contrast to the casual or traditional North American sports fans, European soccer fans include so-called 'ultra fans' who represent different subgroups following the same team, mainly composed of very highly identified members. Importantly, each of these highly identified ultra fan groups possesses its own culture and identity construction mode, which seems to explain why they do not get along even though they are 'fighting' for the same team" (382).
Capitalism even plays a role in the sports subculture. Jon Kraszewski, a professor at Seton Hall University notes that:
"Sport fan communities operate as neo-tribes, which are loose and fluid social organizations that individuals move in and out of. Neo-tribes, although temporary constructs, replace traditional forms of community such as family and other local networks" (Kraszewski 141).
So, the whole youth subculture of sports fans is self-predicating based on the theories of social identity and self-categorization (Assollant, Lacassagne, and Braddock 381) and that these theories have been proven useful as for "understanding the behavior of people who avidly follow sports— sports fans—whose actions might otherwise seem quite irrational or pointless" (381).
Nowadays, the youth become these "ultra fans" in North America. They follow their team with diligence and outstanding sense of identity. These youths are even willing to get into fights to defend their ideals, beliefs, and their team's honor as witnessed in the video "Phillies Game Fight."
More to come.

it's a choice you make every single day… putting someone else's needs above your own, time and time again. their happiness. well-being….
to teach those lessons. those really hard lessons. to do the right thing even when you're not always sure what that may be, or whether you even have the strength to do it.
it's finding balance + happiness whether you feel guilty for dropping off at daycare or not earning an income. raising happy, respectful, kind-hearted children who will someday be productive citizens in our society.
it's loving a little more. giving up a little less.
it's a calling. a gift. a blessing. but that doesn't mean it's easy. or pretty. or clean.
it's kissing boo-boo's and bumps and singing songs till your blue.
it's lowering your expectations and simply being happy on some days that everyone survived without going to the doctor, the hospital or being lost in a store.
it's winging it. 99% of the time.
the parenting style. motherhood. life..
it's finding the strength you never knew you had and dealing with the fears you never knew you existed.
it's dry shampoo. and coffee.
countless loads of laundry + dishes. sleepless nights and tantrums. mediating crises of baby dolls and puzzle pieces that don't fit.
it's grace + simplicity. worry + hope. emotion + strength. exhaustion + compassion. chaos + calm.
it's loving so much it hurts. watching your heart walk outside of your body becoming this independent, beautiful child. seeing those smiles. watching those first steps. experiencing those giggles.
it's forgiving yourself time and time again when you feel like you're failing miserably at everything.. but then getting the sweetest good night lovies when reading bedtime stories..
it's having good days. and bad days. and great days. and trying days.
loving days and playing days and plain old normal days.
it's motherhood in all it's glory + beauty.
for every tear, insecurity, and doubt… YOU are amazing, mama…it's the most beautiful, challenging, amazing and profound ride of your life
ain't no 'hood like mamahood.
a ginormous thank you to bee mine sunshine for the beautiful clothes + photography and jungle red salon for always making me beautiful!!
