Chart SelectionChange Event
I'm working on a pivot chart and pivot table navigator. It lets you click around between pivots and their associated charts. It consists of a small form with a list of the active workbook's pivot tables. You use this list to navigate to pivots and their charts. When you choose a different pivot or chart in Excel itself I want the selected item in the list to change. I can use the SelectionChange event and the Range.PivotTable property to determine which pivot table has been selected. But SelectionChange doesn't fire when you click into a chart. After messing about for a bit I've come up with a chart SelectionChange event that fires on chart selection and also includes all the stuff in a normal SelectionChange event.
The crux of the solution can be found in this excellent Jon Peltier post describing Chart events. It turns out charts are one of the Excel objects that supports WithEvents:
This lets me create a tiny chart class that I can instantiate for each chart in all open workbooks.
Here's the clsChart class:
Public WithEvents cht As Excel.Chart
Public cFullSelectionChange As clsFullSelectionChange
Private Sub cht_Activate()
Set cFullSelectionChange.Chart_Activated = cht
End Sub
It's got the WithEvents declaration that allows us to capture chart events. In this case we're capturing the event that occurs when a charge is activated. When that happens it pokes the Chart_Activated property in the clsFullSelectionChange class. This is the "parent" class that creates an instance of clsChart for each chart in the workbook.
FullSelectionChange Class That Includes Charts
Here's the code for the cFullSelectionChange class:
Private cChart As clsChart
Public WithEvents app As Excel.Application
Private collCharts As Collection
Public Event PivotSelected(pvt As Excel.PivotTable)
Public Event ChartSelected(cht As Excel.Chart)
Public Event OtherSelected()
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Dim Wb As Excel.Workbook
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
Dim chtObject As Excel.ChartObject
Dim cht As Excel.Chart
Set app = Application
Set collCharts = New Collection
For Each Wb In Application.Workbooks
For Each cht In Wb.Charts
Set cChart = New clsChart
Set cChart.cFullSelectionChange = Me
Set cChart.cht = cht
collCharts.Add cChart
Next cht
For Each ws In Wb.Worksheets
For Each chtObject In ws.ChartObjects
Set cChart = New clsChart
Set cChart.cFullSelectionChange = Me
Set cChart.cht = chtObject.Chart
collCharts.Add cChart
Next chtObject
Next ws
Next Wb
End Sub
Public Property Set Chart_Activated(cht As Excel.Chart)
RaiseEvent ChartSelected(cht)
End Property
Private Sub app_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim ActivePivot As Excel.PivotTable
On Error Resume Next
Set ActivePivot = ActiveCell.PivotTable
On Error GoTo 0
If Not ActivePivot Is Nothing Then
RaiseEvent PivotSelected(ActivePivot)
RaiseEvent OtherSelected
End If
End Sub
The last sub in the class, app_SheetSelectionChange, is a regular old application-level SheetSelectionChange event. It checks whether the ActiveCell is in a pivot table. Note that I could have used Selection just as easily as Activecell. I included this event in this class so that all the selection logic would be in one place, rather than putting it in the UserForm itself as I'd normally do. You'll see below that this keeps the UserForm code quite simple.
The second-to-last sub is the Chart_Activated Property that gets poked by the individual chart classes when a chart is activated. It receives the activated chart object from the chart class.
Both these last two subs raise events that are hooked in the UserForm. The events are defined at the top of the module. They simply make the pivot table or chart available in the userform, much like an Sh or Target parameter in a built-in event. If you aren't familiar with raising custom events the info at the end of Chip Pearson's event page is very helpful.
The class's Initialize routine creates instances of the chart class – one for every standalone or embedded chart in all open workbooks. If this isn't familiar, take a look at the same Chip Pearson page linked above, specifically the Declaring WithEvents Variables section.
The UserForm
Because most of the work gets done in the two classes, the UserForm code is simple and powerful. The form looks like this, with textboxes to show either the selected chart or pivot table, if either:
UserForm Code
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Set cFullSelectionChange = New clsFullSelectionChange
End Sub
Private Sub cFullSelectionChange_ChartSelected(cht As Chart)
Me.txtActiveChart.Text = cht.Name
Me.txtActivePivot.Text = ""
End Sub
Private Sub cFullSelectionChange_PivotSelected(pvt As PivotTable)
Me.txtActivePivot.Text = pvt.Name
Me.txtActiveChart.Text = ""
End Sub
Private Sub cFullSelectionChange_OtherSelected()
Me.txtActivePivot.Text = ""
Me.txtActiveChart.Text = ""
End Sub
The top of the UserForm module has the WithEvents declaration of the cFullSelectionChange class. It's declared WithEvents because the class raises the pivot and chart activation events that we want to capture in this form. The form's Initialize sub simply instantiates the
cFullSelectionChange class. Below that are the three event modules for pivot, chart or other selection.
The form instantiates the cFullSelectionChange class, which in turn instantiates a cChart class for each chart in every open workbook. Whenever a chart is activated its cChart class passes this action up to the cFullSelectionChange class, which raises the selection event in the UserForm.
Here's a sample workbook with the form and code. Let me know what you think!

A land ethic for tomorrow should be as honest as Thoreau's Walden, and as comprehensive as the sensitive science of ecology.

At the heart of the controversy in these cases are those recurring pregnancies that pose no danger whatsoever to the life or health of the mother but are, nevertheless, unwanted for any one or more of a variety of reasons ó convenience, family planning, economics, dislike of children, the embarrassment of illegitimacy, etc. ... I find nothing in the language or history of the Constitution to support the Court's judgment. ...

Is the new generation of writers more concerned than their predecessors with politics, economics, and social class? I think that there are lowered expectations, not sthetic expectations for the work, but lowered expectations in terms of life. My generation, perhaps foolishly, expected, even demanded, that life be wonderful and magical and then tried to make it so by writing in a rather complex way. It seems now quite an eccentric demand.Donald Barthelme
There is simply too much to think about. It is hopeless too many kinds of special preparation are required. In electronics, in economics, in social analysis, in history, in psychology, in international politics, most of us are, given the oceanic proliferating complexity of things, paralyzed by the very suggestion that we assume responsibility for so much. This is what makes packaged opinion so attractive.Saul Bellow

The great error of the last 50 years is that conservatives think that they should unthinkingly endorse laissez -faire economics, but as presently conceived the free market destroys most of the things conservatives value; it destroys traditions, family life, societies, cultures, and established ways of doing things. The market place, as understood by contemporary neo-liberalism, is something no genuine conservative should support or endorse.Phillip Blond
The specific effect of the MBA has been an explosion of enrollments in economics, the prebusiness major. The prebusiness economics major is not motivated by love of the science of economics but by love of what it is concerned with.

Louise Harrison's car was broken into Sunday in Little Rock, Arkansas, but the sister of the late Beatles' guitarist George Harrison says that -- contrary to published reports -- the items stolen were of little consequence.
"There was nothing in there of any commercial value," Harrison tells Rolling Stone. "The way they put it out in the news it sounded like it was all kinds of fantastic memorabilia. It wasn't. There was a photograph of George and me taken in 1964. I'd had about 4,000 of them made to give to people."
Harrison, who first moved to Southern Illinois in 1963 (George visited her there before the Beatles' official "invasion"), had driven to Little Rock from her home to donate a copy of the Meet the Beatles album to the soon-to-be-opened Clinton Presidential Library. George had given her the album, signed by all four Beatles, when the band played The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. "George signed it 'From Brother George' with exclamation marks," says Harrison. "I think it's the only album signed by the Beatles to a sibling of the Beatles. I thought, 'OK, I've got two grandsons and only one album.' I wanted to put it somewhere safe where everyone can enjoy it." According to Harrison, the album was "safely under lock and key" when the break-in occurred on Sunday.
Harrison picked Clinton's library in part because of the similarities she sees between the forty-second president and the Fab Four. "He's a brilliant, charismatic character as they were," she says. "He did a tremendously good job for this country while he was in the White House. And just like what happened to the Beatles and alpha males in every society, he got chased by the women. And when your hormones are working -- thank God mine have long since stopped -- you don't make decisions, you make mistakes."
Police have already recovered half of what was stolen, and Harrison is adamant that the thieves not be prosecuted. "I want to make sure there is no retribution to the person who did it, no charges filed," she says. "I'm not one of these people that believes when somebody does something wrong, that you should drop a bomb on them."

Individuals from across the political spectrum denounce cronyism. Politicians as diverse as Sarah Palin and Barack Obama have decried businessmen who use government favors for economic gain. Groups with diametrically opposing views, such as the Tea Parties and Occupy Wall Street, have attacked the cozy relationship between many businesses and government. Despite the seemingly universal condemnation of cronyism, it remains alive and well. And most likely, it is occurring right in your home town—cronyism exists at every level of government.
Of course, nobody explicitly argues for cronyism. Instead, these businessmen argue that they need special favors in order to serve the "general welfare" or the "common good." But no matter the alleged ends they profess, their goal is to use the coercive power of government for their own benefit. They seek to stifle competition through licensing and permitting processes. They use eminent domain to seize property from those who will not voluntarily sell. They use zoning to prevent individuals from using their property as they choose. And sometimes they openly call for when competitors can open for business.
As one example of cronyism, in 2011 Julie Crowe sought to start a taxi service catering to female college students in Bloomington, Illinois. At a hearing before the deputy city manager, competitors testified against her proposal, claiming that the city did not need any more taxi cabs. The deputy city manager denied Crowe's application for a taxi license, stating that it was not "in the best interest of the city to put another vehicle on the street."
When Crowe appealed to the city council, one alderman argued that the cash flow would be inadequate to sustain the new business, citing the fact that other cab companies were struggling financially. Perhaps city officials were correct, and the market cannot support another taxi company. But perhaps Crowe is correct, and she has identified a profitable niche.
When innovators are prevented from testing their ideas, city officials do not know if the struggles experienced by the existing companies are because of the market or because of complacency bred by government intervention. Rather than allow the market to determine if Crowe would succeed, politicians and bureaucrats sided with her competitors and denied Crowe the opportunity to even find out. And this is but one example of local cronyism.
The use of eminent domain for the purpose of economic development made news in Kelo v. New London. While many states have since enacted laws to protect property owners, the practice has continued in many locales as the politically connected use local governments to coerce property owners into selling their land.
For example, from 2003 to 2011 the township council in Mount Holly Township, New Jersey, used eminent domain to condemn and demolish the homes of more than two hundred low income families. The township wanted to sell the land to a private developer who planned to build high-end apartments and town homes. After going into debt for more than $17 million, a federal court ordered the township to halt its condemnations.
Earlier this year, when Minnesota legislators considered a law to allow sales of liquor on Sunday, small liquor store owners successfully fought against the proposal. They did not want to open on Sundays, and feared that competitors who did open would take market share.
In July, Bill Meagher, owner of Lakeside Creamery in Oakland, Maryland, received a variance to the local zoning ordinance that would allow him to rent boats at the lake where he operates. Three competing businesses promptly filed a petition to overrule the variance and prevent Meagher from renting boats because they would be "specially and adversely affected." At a public hearing on the issue, one opponent to the variance said, "I think that it was totally unfair to the existing boat people. You are cutting their throats by just allowing someone to come in and rent boats." In other words, the "existing boat people" should be protected from further competition by government decree. The case is still pending.
In each of these examples, private businesses have used government to accomplish what they could not do in a free market. Political influence superseded the free and voluntary choices of producers and consumers. These businesses have used a government club to accomplish what they could not achieve by means of their business activities.
While the use of political favors for business gain is often called "crony capitalism," it is anything but capitalism. Capitalism is the system in which individual rights, including property rights, are respected. Under capitalism, individuals are free to act on their own judgment, so long as they respect the mutual rights of others. In a capitalist system, businessmen and entrepreneurs compete to fulfill the needs and desires of consumers, rather than compete to influence politicians and bureaucrats.
Julie Crowe believed that she had identified a need that existing taxi companies were not meeting. She was willing to invest her time and money to demonstrate the truth of her judgment. If she was correct, her business would thrive. If she was wrong, she would go out of business. But government officials declared her judgment irrelevant, and they used government force to prohibit her from demonstrating whether she was right or wrong.
Similarly, if the owner of a liquor store in Minnesota decides that opening on Sunday is a good idea, he should be free to do so. If other liquor store owners judge it better to close on Sunday, they too should be free to act as they deem best. Consumers will quickly let each know the wisdom of his decision. But Minnesota legislators have declared it illegal for liquor store owners to find out.
These restrictions, and many more like them, are the result of political pressure being applied by those who stood to gain. Rather than compete in a free market, some businessmen find it easier to make campaign donations or assemble a loud gang at City Hall. Why compete when you can simply make a lot of noise about the "public interest"? Why try to provide a better service than Julie Crowe when you can simply get a law passed that makes it illegal for her to compete with you?
It is easy to denounce the bailout of banks or the "green energy" cronies of the current administration. But integrity demands consistency. And consistency demands that those who oppose cronyism on the national level also oppose special government favors on the state and local level. We cannot and will not end cronyism on Wall Street while demanding it on Main Street.

Development banks follow a procedure for evaluating a proposal for a project. The basic objective is to check whether the applicant fulfils various conditions prescribed by the lending institution and the project is viable. The acceptance of a wrong proposal will result in the wastage of scarce resources. These banks adopt the following procedure for lending:
1. Project Appraisal and Eligibility of Applicant
Every financial institution serves a particular area of activity or there are certain limits prescribed beyond which they cannot go. Before processing the application, it is important to find out whether the applicant is eligible under the norms of the institution or not. The second aspect which is looked into is to determine whether the enterprise has fulfilled various conditions prescribed by the government. In case some license is required from the government. It should have been taken or an assurance is received from the licensing authority. After satisfying these preliminary issues the project is appraised by a team of technical financial and economic officers of the institutions from various discussions with the promoters and clarifications sought on various points. The bank institution considers financial assistance in the light of;
(I) Guidelines for assistance to industries issued by the government or others concerned from time to time
(ii) Guidelines issued by the bank
(iii) Policy decisions of the Board of Directors of the bank.
2. Technical Appraisal
A technical appraisal involves the study of:
- Feasibility and suitability of technical process in Indian conditions.
- Location, of the project in relation to the availability of raw materials, power: water. labour, fuel, transport, communication facilities and market for finished products.
- The scale of operations and its suitability for the planned project.
- The technical soundness of the projects.
- Sources of purchasing plant and machinery and the reputation of suppliers. etc.
- Arrangement for the disposal of factory affluent and use of bye products, if any.
- The estimated cost of the project and probable selling price of the product.
- The programmer for completing the project.
3. Economic Viability
The economic appraisal will consider the national and industrial priorities of the project export potential of the product employment potential, study of market.
4. Assessing Commercial Aspects
The examination of commercial aspects relates to the arrangements for the purchase of raw materials and sale of finished products. If the concern has some arrangement for sale then the position of the party should be assessed.
5. Financial Feasibility
The financial feasibility of a new and an existing concern will be assessed differently. The assessment for a new concern will involve:
- The needs for fixed assets, working capital and preliminary expenses will be estimated to find out its needs.
- The financing plans will be studied in relation to capital structure, promoters' contribution, debt-equity ratio.
- Projected cash flow statements both during the construction and .operation periods
- Projected profitability and the like dividend in near future.
6. Managerial Competence
The success of a concern depends up on the competence of management. Proper application of various policies will determine the Success of an enterprise. A lending institution would see the background, qualifications, business experience of promoters and other persons associated with management.
7. National Contribution
Besides commercial profitability, national contribution .of the project is also taken into account. The role of the project in the national economy and its benefits to the society in the form of good quality products, reasonable prices, employment generation, helpful in social infrastructure etc. should be assessed. Development banks aim at the over all welfare of the society.
8. Balancing of Various Factors
Various factors should be balanced against each other. The circumstances of the individual project will help in weighing various factors. Some factors may be strong as their in-depth analysis should be avoided. In case a project is profitable, there will be no need to assess cash flow. Weaknesses located in certain areas may be off set by the good points in the other. An experienced management and sound economic outlook may compensate some weakness in financial positions. The responsibility of lending bank lies in balancing judiciously different considerations for arriving at a consensus.
9. Loan Sanction
After the appraisal report on the project is prepared by the bank's officers, it is placed before the advisory committee consisting of experts drawn from various fields of the particular industry. If the advisory committee is satisfied tile proposal then it recommends the case to the Managing Director or board of Directors along with its own report. When the assistance is sanctioned hen a letter to this effect is issued to the pay giving details of conditions.
10. Loan Disbursement
The loan is disbursed after the execution of loan agreement. The execution of documents of security or guarantee etc. should precede the disbursement of loan. In case some property is pledged to the bank then title deeds of such property are properly scrutinized. The fulfillment of various conditions proceeding to disbursement will determine the time of paying the money to the party.
11. Follow up
The job of a lending bank does noted by disbursing the assistance. It has first to see whether the construction .of the project is as per schedule decided earlier. In case some delay is taking place in executing the plans then the reasons for it should be determined. Later during operations, the result should be properly followed. It should be seen whether the revenue earned by the concern will be sufficient to meet its obligations or not so a proper follow up by the bank will enable it to follow the progress of the unit.

If you or a family member has been the victim of molestation, sexual assault or rape, you may be currently involved in the criminal case against the perpetrator which is the first step in the healing process to deal with this traumatic event. The second step in the healing process is seeking monetary compensation from the individual / organization. The third step is obtaining specialized therapy, which is usually extremely expensive. The Lassen Law Firm, child molestation attorneys, represents only the victims of child molestation, sexual abuse, sexual assault and rape, with respect to seeking compensation from the perpetrator and his employer. A civil lawsuit against the perpetrator and his employer is possible even if the perpetrator was never charged criminally, or was acquitted in a criminal trial.
Child Molestation
Babysitter Sexual Abuse / Child Molestation
Scouting Organization Sexual Abuse / Child Molestation
School Sexual Abuse / Child Molestation
Teacher Sexual Abuse / Child Molestation
Clergy Sexual Abuse / Child Molestation
Foster Care Abuse / Child Molestation
Camp Counselor Sexual Abuse / Child Molestation
Child molestation always has long-lasting effects on the victim and the victim's family. Getting compensation is a critical factor in the pursuit of justice. The majority of cases do not need to go to trial, and can be settled confidentially without having to relive the traumatic event.
If you or a family member has been the victim of child molestation, you will may feel helpless. It is hard enough for victims and their families to deal with the physical and emotional trauma and recovery, let alone the fact that the molestation may have been prevented.
We are skilled Philadelphia child molestation attorneys who will aggressively fight for maximum recovery of damages throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. You can rely on our confidentiality and expertise with respect to helping you obtain the justice you deserve.
The statute of limitations for child abuse cases in PA is twelve years from the age of majority (age 18) thus you are supposed to file before age thirty. However, there are plenty of ways to get around the statute of limitations problem, thus, you can still get compensation if you have the right lawyer.

The Top Ten Google Doodles Of All Time
When Larry Page and Sergey Brin decided on a whim to put a little Burning Man figure behind the Google logo back in 1998, they had no idea how much of a part of Google's identity the now-common Google Doodles would become. While most companies spend endless time and money to keep their image consistent, Google has gone the other way, making its variation one of the most beloved aspects of its identity.
In the past 14 years, the logo has changed temporarily over 1000 times, with the illustrations growing increasingly more elaborate and imaginative. The once simple tributes to special occasions and historic figures have evolved into animated, interactive features, and heartwarming odes to the people, places and things we love. It's certainly hard to pick favorites. The many dedications to artists, for example, are stunning recreations of the masters' styles, including Gustav Klimt, Claude Monet, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and Jackson Pollock. You could look at them all day. But this collection is the best of the best—the game-changers.
Here are the Top Ten All-Time Google Doodles:
10. Martha Graham's 117th Birthday Doodle (May 11, 2011)
Martha Graham's contributions created the entire movement of modern dance, and she is considered one of the 20th century's greatest creative minds. For her 117th birthday, Google Doodler Mike Dutton and artist Ryan Woodward created an animated series of dancing figures spelling out Google. The doodle is simple and elegant in soft shades of black-and-white, but also packed with references to her groundbreaking career. You can see it animated among the rest of the doodles in Google's animatronic Doodlezoo here. Or watch it here:
9. Particles Doodle (Google Instant Launch) (Sep. 6, 2010)
Particles, or Google Balls, was not only a feat of animation and engineering using just basic web tools, it was also one of Google's most debated mysteries. The logo was replaced by a series of colored balls that tend to cluster together in the shape of the word, but fly apart in response to the mouse cursor. It's fun and strangely relaxing. Upon posting, Google fans speculated what it meant, and designers debated how they created it. Google later revealed it was a teaser for Instant Search. Here it is in the doodlezoo.
8. Star Trek, Sep. 8, 2012
The geeks at Google pulled out the stops for the anniversary of the original Star Trek series' first broadcast. This doodle was a mini-episode, which the user could move along by selecting highlighted elements on the animated set. One cool trick, when clicked, a ceiling vent in the transporter room spills out a pile of Tribbles from one of the show's signature episodes. The scene also references a "redshirt," the unknown cast member who tags along on missions, only to meet a grisly fate. You'll want to see it in all it's glory in the Google Doodlezoo, as the sound effects when you click certain areas of the doodle are worth the price of admission. It's right here(click the black screen to play the animation).
7. Freddie Mercury, Sep. 5, 2011
Regardless of your level of appreciation for Queen, this doodle is a treat. A musical clip in tribute to frontman Freddie Mercury—musical icon and GLBT hero—superfan and Doodler Jennifer Hom made this brilliant animated adventure to the song "Don't Stop Me Now." It took Hom four months to create the 8-bit-style sequence that involved racecars, spaceships and a battle with aliens. It's a joy to watch.
6. The Adventures of Little Nemo in Slumberland, Oct. 15, 2012
Winsor McCay may not be a household name, but to art and design fanatics, he is an incredibly influential icon who paved the way for modern comics and illustration styles. Another of Jennifer Hom's creations, it's an animated, interactive comic strip in the style of the Little Nemo character from the early 20th century. It's a dreamlike, beautiful sequence that takes the hero through whimsical scenes with the elements of the Google logo woven into the background. You
can must see it as it lives and breathes in the Doodlezoo, as there is no way for us to recreate the truly cool and utterly wondrous (swoon!) journey of Little Nemo. Peep it here, ye of little innocence (and any others looking for a good time).
5. Stanislaw Lem (Nov. 23, 2011)
You may not know the name Stanislaw Lem, but he's considered one of the most influential names in modern sci-fi literature and his novel Solaris inspired three movies. To honor Lem, Google created a truly unique interactive doodle. It's an animated adventure consisting of a series of puzzles, and in the style of Daniel Mroz, who illustrated some of Lem's books. It's a fitting tribute, both mysterious and beautiful. We've framed it here for your surfing convenience, or you can check it out in all it's Doodly glory on Google's Lem Doodle page.
4. Les Paul Guitar (June 9, 2011)
To honor the inventor of the solid body electric guitar, Les Paul, Google created a fully playable, animated electric guitar. It's one of the most beloved of all the Google Doodles, and in 48 hours users recorded 40 million songs using the built-in recording device. You can strum the strings or play notes and chords using the keyboard, and soon after it posted, Internet users around the world were outdoing each other with how-to guides and versions of popular songs. We've framed it here for you, with a fresh helping of awesome sauce in awesome sauce
Mouse over the strings to git a-rockin'.
3. Turing Machine, June 23, 2011)
Alan Turing is really a perfect hero for the people at Google. Called the father of modern computing, he's a historically important, underappreciated figure with a truly fascinating story. To honor what would have been his 100th birthday, Google created a Turing Machine, which reflects the concepts of computing and algorithms that Turing established as the basis for modern computer functions. Designers and engineers spent more time of the doodle than they had ever spent at the time, creating 12 levels of programming puzzles to decode. It's a perfectly smart and mysterious doodle. Check it out in action at the Doodlezoo.
2. Google Pac-Man (May 21, 2010)
Google Pac-Man was a true game changer for the doodles. The playable logo set the bar for future doodles that would boost the web engine's image as a playful, constantly innovative user experience. But enough about user experience. You wanna play, don't you? It's cool, we've got you covered. Play Google Pac-Man right here.
1. Moog Doodle (May 23, 2012)
Much like Paul and Turing, Dr. Robert Moog is an obscure but important figure in science and art. The doodle team called him the "patron saint of the nerdy arts," making him a natural hero for the people at Google. Moog is the inventor of the electric, analog Moog Synthesizer, an extremely complex device that changed pop and rock music forever. The device uses at least seven web tools to create a synthesizer with 21 knobs, wheels and switches and four different tracks to layer recorded sounds. For Bob Moog, who would have turned 78 when the doodle first posted, it's an impressive tribute from the Google team and the millions of users who devoted hours to tinkering and recording with the doodle. We've placed a perfectly nice image of the doodle below, but you'll want to play the real deal in the Doodlezoo Corral if you know what's good for you. And lastly if you want a little help from Moog Music's Quick Start Guide, you can view it superbig here, or download the pdf here.
Well, I'm just going to have to burst out of my protective latex journalistic objectivity and say that it's been a real pleasure bringing all these super-awesome Doodles together, a bit of a love-fest if you will, what with all the the particular as well as cumulative talent and effort that went into these Google Doodly
tricks treats, and the pleasure gotten from them by the millions of Google users and fans, not to mention the good will aimed toward the honorees of the Doodles themselves. It really is a bit awesome when you step back and take measure of the Google Doodle project and the value it has added to the Interwebz. *Sniff*. Ahem.
As I was saying. With any top 10 list one is forced by the constraints of the form to cut many deserving Doodles that one may have loved to include. One's only consolation being that there is no limit to the number of top ten lists allowed, as the list criteria need be only slightly altered in order to qualify as "top" once more. Top Doodles of 2012, for example. Or Top Musical Doodles, or Top Interactive Doodles, ad infinitum. That's just off the top of my head, yo.
Therefore, I say unto all you Google Doodle junkies out there, "Have heart! Stand strong! Chin up, intrepid Intarwebz sailors! These colors don't run!" and all that. We'll be back with more Goodle Doodle fun before you know it.

In North Carolina a federal district court judge has struck down the state's emergency power to ban firearms and ammunition outside the home during a declared emergency.
Judge Malcolm J. Howard ruled in the case Bateman v. Purdue that "… the court finds that the statutes at issue here are subject to strict scrutiny… While the bans imposed pursuant to these statutes may be limited in duration, it cannot be overlooked at the statutes strip peaceable, law abiding citizens of the right to arm themselves in defense of heart and home, striking at the very core of the Second Amendment."
The case was brought by the Second Amendment Foundation, Grass Roots North Carolina FFE and three individual plaintiffs. Defendants Gov. Beverly Purdue and the secretary of the state's Department of Crime Control and Public Safety Reuben F. Young were both acting in their official capacity.
Judge Howard's ruling also solidifies the Second Amendment's reach outside the home, "the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is not strictly limited to the home environment but extends in some form to wherever those activities or needs occur," Judge Howard wrote.

At most, the 2013 NHL season has two games remaining. The Chicago Blackhawks have the opportunity to send the Boston Bruins home without any new hardware, as a win tonight would make them this year's Stanley Cup Champions.
With that being said, the New York Islanders organization has been preparing for the NHL Entry draft, as well as free agency.
As we jump ahead to July 5th, there are a handful of players that the Islanders might consider for the 2013-2014 roster that may make them a better contending team for next season's playoff run.
With former captain Mark Streit signing a four-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers, there will be at least one hole to fill on defense. There is talk that the organization is high on prospect Matt Donovan, who has just finished an exceptional season on the blue line for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, scoring 14 goals, 34 assists and 48 points in 75 games played. This comes after a 45 point season the previous year as well. With not much left to prove at the AHL level, Donovan will likely be given a prime opportunity to crack the Islanders roster and fill the void left by Streit's vacancy (Photo Credit: spotboslow/Flickr).
But the defense is already heavily crowded with Lubomir Visnovsky, Travis Hamonic, Andrew MacDonald, Brian Strait and Matt Carkner. The team will also likely extend a qualifying offer to Thomas Hickey as well.
They also have top defensive prospect Griffin Reinhart that may also get a chance to join the big club. But management has the option of providing Reinhart with another year of Junior to boost his development. This might be an easy decision with the already crowded blue line.
Carkner is also a defenseman that can easily sit a few games here and there, allowing Donovan the opportunity to play even if GM Garth Snow brings in another veteran.
One of the first options that comes to mind is Long Island's own Rob Scuderi. A native of Syosset, Scuderi knows what it takes to win the Stanley Cup having just done so last year with the Los Angeles Kings. At 34 years old, Scuderi would provide a stable veteran presence with size and experience.
If they wish to find someone to help replace Streit's offense, they make look at someone like Ryan Whitney. In the past, Whitney has been more than capable of providing explosive offensive numbers from the blue line. However, his point production has declined during his tenure with the Edmonton Oilers. But that may be contributed mostly to his inability to stay healthy, which would also be a major concern for the Islanders.
Other free agent options include Toni Lydman, Ian White, Jordan Leopold and Tomas Kaberle.
With Brad Boyes set to hit the market, the Isles will likely look to see who they can find to replace him on the top line. Forwards Nino Niederreiter, Brock Nelson and Ryan Strome will certainly have their chances to earn a roster spot on this team, but giving them first line responsibilities right out of the gate might be too much for them to handle in the immediate future.
Jarome Iginla still has some gas left in the tank despite being 35 years old. He scored 33 points in 44 games last year between the Calgary Flames and the Pittsburgh Penguins after scoring 67 points in 82 games the previous year. The ironman also played in five consecutive full seasons before this past year, racking up between 67 and 98 points over that span. Adding his grit, veteran experience and offensive abilities to the Moulson/Tavares combination could be a perfect fit (Beauty Playin 'Eh/Flickr).
If the team wished to find a younger and more long term solution, they could look at someone like Michael Ryder. He scored 35 points in 46 games this season between the Dallas Stars and Montreal Canadiens. He is only 33 years old and is someone who can add at least 60 points to the Islanders offense.
The best option might be Mike Ribeiro. He is also 33 years old and would add speed and great hands to a tandem that already puts up excellent offensive numbers. He averaged better than a point-per-game this past season, scoring 49 in 48 games played and had 63 and 71 points in the past two seasons, respectively.
Other options include Danny Briere, Patrik Elias and Nathan Horton.
One of the largest areas of concern for the New York Islanders is their goaltending situation. Evgeni Nabokov will more than likely be back with the Islanders next season and youngster Kevin Poulin is ready to play as well. But Nabokov played in 41 out of 48 games this year at the ripe age of 37 (and he turns 38 in July). Despite carrying this team on his shoulder throughout the regular season, he struggled in the playoffs and displayed that the team could benefit from having a 1A goaltender behind him.
Adding another veteran net-minder to this team would allow Kevin Poulin another year in the minors with Anders Nilsson, who may in fact have better potential to one day be the Islanders number one goaltender. Although Poulin has been in the system now for quite some time, he is still only 22 years old and could benefit from another year with the Sound Tigers.
But then of course, there is Rick DiPietro. We already are aware of the major rumors, implying he might be dealt to the Vancouver Canucks for Roberto Luongo. As previously stated, I find it hard to believe that the Islanders would actually trade one bad contract for another, risking the possibility of another life-time deal blowing up in their face - and Luongo's is longer and more expensive. Unless the Isles can part ways with DP and persuade the Canucks to eat some of Luongo's salary away before he comes to the team, I do not expect to see this deal to go down.
The Isles were apparently interested in acquiring Jonathan Bernier from the L.A. Kings, but that ship has sailed as he was recently traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
If the Isles were still looking at the trade market, Ryan Miller would likely be available. It is rumored that the Buffalo Sabres are preparing for a youth movement and are looking to part ways with Miller to shed some salary and start fresh. Miller is 32 years old and more than capable of carrying a team during the regular season. He had a 17-17-5 record this year in 40 games played with a 2.81 GAA and .915 save percentage on a poorly performed Sabres team. A Nabokov/Miller goaltender pairing is an exciting one to think about (Beauty Playin 'Eh/Flickr).
If the Isles cannot strike a deal with the Sabres, the market has some other goaltenders available as well.
Mike Smith might be the most coveted by many teams. At 31 years old, Smith comes as a goaltender still in his prime with many years left in his career. In 2011-2012 with the Phoenix Coyotes, Smith had a 38-18-10 record to go along with a 2.21 GAA and .930 save percentage. This year, Smith had a 15-12-5 record over 34 games played with a 2.58 GAA and .910 save percentage.
Ray Emery may also be available if the Chicago Blackhawks look to make some cap room by allowing their valuable back-up goaltender to hit the open market. In 21 games played, Emery was 17-1-0 with a 1.94 GAA and .922 save percentage.
Other options include Mathieu Garon, Jose Theodore and Chris Mason.
In previous years, the Islanders have been overwhelmingly quiet during the free agency period, typically signing veteran players who were beyond their prime years or other players in search of a fresh start after previously underperforming.
This year could be, and should be different. The Islanders made the playoffs for the first time in six years and gave the Penguins a real fight to win that series in six games. They earned respect from their opponents as well as from around the rest of the league and proved that this is a team that can now be taken seriously as they prepare for their move to a brand new facility in Brooklyn.
If they wish to maintain that identity, they need to take two steps forward heading into next season. There are holes on this team, and filling them with prospects and cheap gamble contracts is no longer the way to go. Accountability needs to be found, playoff experience needs to be added and leadership needs to be provided.
Garth Snow and his management team have a lot of options to choose from this summer and must be aggressive in pursuing the right ones if they wish to keep this team heading in the right direction.

A driver's arrest on drugged-driving charges reopens old wounds for the New York family.
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- The last time Julianne and Tyler Poggiogalle saw their dad, they walked into a funeral home in their hometown of Hopewell Junction and placed Father's Day cards in his casket.
Alfred Poggiogalle, 48, died in June 2008 in East Fishkill after he was hit by a van driven by William Mancusi III, who was high on morphine and marijuana and later served a prison term.
Julianne is now a senior at Syracuse University and Tyler a sophomore at Delaware University, while their mother, Cindy, continues to work at PepsiCo in Somers. But whatever sense of normalcy their lives had settled into was shaken recently when they learned Mancusi, 37, had again been charged with drugged driving.
It happened at about 1 a.m. Sept. 19 when a Kent officer pursued Mancusi's vehicle for several miles before stopping him on Route 52 — the same road that Alfred Poggiogalle was on when he was killed. The officer found marijuana in the 1999 Ford van and charged Mancusi with driving while impaired by drugs, third-degree aggravated licensed operation, misdemeanors, and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.
Cindy Poggiogalle talks about the driver who struck and killed her husband in 2008. She is sitting in her Hopwell Junction, N.Y., home on Sept. 27, 2013. (Video by Frank Becerra Jr / The Journal News)
Cindy Poggiogalle said that when she heard about Mancusi's most recent arrest, it was like a scab had been torn from a wound.
"I was shocked," she said. "Part of me thought it would happen again, but part of me was hoping prison would have changed him. It didn't."
She was inundated with calls from friends and family who were equally upset.
"A lot of people were outraged," said Poggiogalle. "I have a lot of friends writing letters to the judge."
Like her mom, Julianne Poggiogalle said she thought Mancusi would have changed after killing her father.
"I was sick to my stomach when I heard the news," Julianne said via email. "It's so disheartening that someone can act so irresponsibly after they are given a second chance. I can only hope that this time around justice is served."
Mancusi served two years in prison for vehicular manslaughter, getting out in 2011. He was sent to a prison where he could receive drug treatment.
Police said Mancusi was driving someone else's van Sept. 19 but did not have information on its owner. Cindy Poggiogalle said the owner should be culpable in some way. Mancusi was also driving a borrowed van when it struck and killed Poggiogalle, an avid biker, downhill skier and maintenance mechanic at Krafts Foods.
A woman who answered the door where Mancusi lives declined comment.
Although society has taken a negative view on drunk driving, it needs to see drugged driving in the same light, said Elaine Santos of the Putnam chapter of the National Council on Alcoholism and Other Dependencies.
"We've seen a lot more cases of people driving under the influence of drugs," she said.
Marijuana is most prevalent, but arrests involving prescription drugs are on the rise, Santos said. In 2009, 18 percent of drivers killed in crashes in the U.S. tested positive for at least one drug — illegal, prescription and/or over-the-counter — according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Cindy Poggiogalle said this she will channel her pain and anger toward seeing that justice is served.
"I understand he didn't intentionally go out to kill my husband that day. But when you decide to drink or drug or text — anything that distracts you — then drive, it could happen to anyone. People have to understand this and the laws have to be stronger."

Today, Collected Wisdom turns its gaze toward the heavens to see what kind of shape the cosmos is in.
The question
Heather MacAndrew of Victoria wants to know why planets are spherical. Are there no square planets?
The answer
According to several correspondents, it's all a question of gravity. For instance, gravity drags all of the Earth's mass toward the planet's centre, and only a sphere lets everything get as near to the centre as possible.
To explain this further, let's paraphrase an example sent to us by Dave Hanes, head of the department of physics, engineering physics and astronomy at Queen's University in Kingston.
Suppose CW wanted to create a monument to itself by building a mountain of rock into a pinnacle far exceeding the size of Mount Everest (and doubtless topped off by neon lettering thousands of metres high saying, "Collected Wisdom Rules – OK").
Unfortunately, Dr. Hanes says, such a monument could not be built because of the "self-gravity" of the Earth and the limited strengths of ordinary matter – even solid rock.
"In simple terms," he writes, "the enormous mass of the upper parts of the mountain, pulled down by the gravity of the Earth, would weigh down so enormously on the mountain's base that it could not withstand the pressure." The mountain would therefore flatten out considerably under its own weight. "In other words, the Earth itself limits the size of features on its surface and 'relaxes' into a nearly spherical shape over all."
He adds that the strength of rocky materials indicates that Everest is just about as large a mountain as you could get on Earth.
Meanwhile, small objects such as asteroids are not spherical because their rocky matter is strong enough to withstand their much weaker self-gravity.
"The asteroid Toutatis that passed close by the Earth on Dec. 12 is a good example," Dr. Hanes writes. "It is elongated and 'potato-shaped,' but only a few kilometres in size."
So, CW would surmise that it is theoretically possible for an asteroid to be square. But not a planet.
The question
Shelley Nickerson of Lincoln, N.B., tells us she has always kept the heat turned off in a spare room in her house during the winter and also kept the door shut, thinking that she was saving energy. Is she right?
The answer
"You bet," writes Sjoerd Roorda, a professor in the physics department at the University of Montreal. "As long as it is a room with an outside wall."
The amount of fuel required to keep a house warm, he explains, depends only on the heat loss – the amount of heat lost to the cold outside environment.
"By keeping one room with an outside wall unheated," he writes, "the heat loss across its outside wall is reduced because the temperature difference between that room and the outside is much less than for the rest of the house.
Another way to see this is to say that the room acts as an extra-thick insulation for part of the house."
Help wanted
When a police officer stops a motorist, he always puts on his hat before approaching the motorist's car, writes Ross Towler of Halifax. As the officer is already wearing a uniform, why the need for a hat?
Why do people cover furniture in closed-up houses? asks Cheri Warren of Toronto. If there is no one in the house, where is all the dust going to come from?Report Typo/Error

Realmac has been making great apps for years; Ember is another great example of why they're a successful company.
Written by Jim Dalrymple
- Pat
As a user of LittleSnapper, I really can't see a reason why I would upgrade. The only additional feature I can see is subscriptions which, personally, I have no interest in.
Probably a great introduction to the Realmac product line for new users, but unless LittleSnapper breaks in a future release of OS X, I really don't see a need for current users to upgrade.
- Dan Counsell
Hey Pat, honestly there is so much more to Ember than just the subscriptions feature. Every area has been polished and updated. There's tonnes of new features within the app.
On top of this we have some truly amazing features lined up in the coming months.
- Frank Daniels
Jim, I can't agree with your sentiments. Although I had been a big fan of their software in the past, I feel they've stumbled recently with the style-over-substance "Clear" iPhone app and now Ember. Ember is overpriced for what it offers and it should have been discounted at launch as a way to appease LittleSnapper users looking to upgrade.
- Dan Counsell
Sorry to hear that. Ember is a professional app that has been in development for two years. Ee think it's one of the most polished and complete apps available on the Mac and is priced to reflect this.
Hope you'll give Ember a chance at some point in the future.
- Olaf
I'm a long-time LittleSnapper user and I love it, so I bought Ember. Five Minutes later and I wished I'd spent my money for something with more substance, e.g. beer and steak. Ember misses a lot of tools that made LittleSnapper a great working tool.
- Dan Counsell
We have an aggressive update schedule planned for Ember. Today we're launching 1.0.1 and we're almost finished with 1.1 already.
Stick with Ember, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the upcoming additions and features we're rolling out.
Hearing comments like these is discouraging me from getting it, specially as a person who doesn't have LittleSnapper. Then again, all these comments are from already-LittleSnapper-owners. @dan_counsell:disqus – should I hold my breath for a discount-at-launch?

TEL AVIV (Dec. 4)
Israeli journalists have begun reporting and broadcasting from Cairo and with diplomatic developments marking time before the Cairo conference opens, the main news is about the warm welcome they received from Egyptian officials and from Cairenes in general and the small Jewish community in particular. But Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, at the Cabinet session today , rebuked two television journalists for going there. (See related Story P. 2.)
There are at least a half dozen Israeli correspondents in the Egyptian capital and more arrive each day. Most of them entered Egypt with non-Israeli passports. These include Ada Luciana of Rome and Tamar Golan of Paris, who were sent by Maariv, Hans Knopp of Amsterdam and Eliezer Strauch who are covering for Yediot Achronot, and Ben Ami, another Yediot man from Israel who made his first broadcast from Cairo Friday over Israel's armed forces radio station.
The biggest stir was created by Sami Greenspan of Yediot Achronot, who was the first Israeli reporter to land at Cairo Airport with an Israeli passport. He arrived late Thursday night via Rome without an entry visa. He was kissed on both cheeks by the Egyptian passport control officer and given permission for a week's stay in the country.
Greenspan attended Saturday morning services at Cairo's Great Synagogue. The congregants, mostly people in their seventies, were overcome by emotion. They kissed his Israeli passport with tears in their eyes and offered prayers for the safety of Israel, the well being of the visiting journalists and for peace.
Greenspan is traveling around Cairo with an Egyptian bodyguard and an official car and driver provided by the Ministry of Information. He was told that since his arrival he received so much publicity, "we have to protect you from subversive elements."
So far, the only protection needed seems to be from souvenir hunters. Anything of Israeli origin is suddenly in great demand in Cairo. Israel made cigarettes and Israeli coins are the most desired items. Israeli journalists draw crowds wherever they are recognized but it is a friendly curiosity. Knopp reported a chance meeting with an Egyptian general at an airline office. The general asked him to convey regards to Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizman who he said he regarded as one of the best air force officers in the world. Weizman formerly commanded Israel's Air Force.
Strauch, who has been meeting with Egyptian editors, reported that political circles in Cairo regard the Syrian and Palestine Liberation Organization rejection of President Anwar Sadat's peace initiatives as a blessing. The absence of those elements from the Cairo conference will allow negotiations to proceed without the threat of a crisis in the initial stages, they say.
These circles acknowledge that there is a wide gap between the Israeli and Egyptian positions on territorial issues and the Palestinian problem, Strauch reported. But they believe that if Israel and Egypt are allowed to negotiate with only the Americans and some other advisors around, a bilateral agreement could be reached.
As the Egyptians see it, however, such an agreement would require a declaration of Israel's readiness to yield something toward the aspirations of all parties in the Middle East conference. If the talks fail, the Egyptians fear the momentum toward peace will be set back and Sadat would suffer a great loss of prestige, Strauch reported.
With the Cairo conference now scheduled to open at the middle of the month, the Israeli news media, including the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, have applied for permission to send correspondents to Egypt. The Cairo weekly Akbar El Yom reported yesterday that Israel has asked Egypt to admit 200 journalists to cover the talks. The paper did not say how and where the request was made. It reported that there were also requests from 400 American journalists.

It's about keeping the faith.Growing up poor in 1953 in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia doesn't bother Lydia Hawkins. She treasures her tight-knit family. There's her loving mama, now widowed; her whip-smart younger brother BJ, who has cystic fibrosis; and wise old Gran. But everything falls apart after Gran and BJ die and Mama is jailed unjustly. Suddenly Lydia has lost all those dearest to her. Moving to a coal camp to live with her uncle William and aunt Ethel Mae only makes Lydia feel more alone. She is ridiculed at her new school for her outgrown homemade clothes and the way she talks, and for what the kids believe her mama did. And to make matters worse, she discovers that her uncle has been keeping a family secret—about her. If only Lydia, with her resilient spirit and determination, could find a way to clear her mother's name. . . .

Dunks like this don't happen all that frequently. And honestly, I can't recall one like this since the days of the Reign Man and Vinsanity in the mid-90s / early 2000's. Props, Mr. George, props.
Paul George Unleashed A Once-In-A-Lifetime 360 Windmill Dunk
You had better watch this dunk, because it's probably never going to happen again.
Sure, Paul George might try a 360 windmill dunk again—but it'll be in pregame, or during a dunk competition, or after a whistle. Seeing this 360 windmill dunk in live play is, well, a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Here's a version called by Jim Ross.

A moment of magic amid Aceh's despair
Lamno, Aceh
Page Tools
In a refugee camp in the Aceh west coast town of Lamno, Cutchairiah meets her children for the first time since the tsunami.
Photo: Jason South
Almost everyone is on a hopeless search, but one family breaks the circle of doom.
Tears of grief are still falling across Aceh's tsunami-devastated west coast, but Cutchairiah is one of the few people here with reason to cry tears of joy.
In a land where everyone seems on a hopeless search for lost loved ones, the primary school teacher was reunited with all three of her children early yesterday, six weeks after she believed the tsunami had swept them all to their deaths.
She had been told two weeks ago that her family were alive, but when reality hit home, the joy was overwhelming.
She was in the classroom where she has been living as a refugee since she lost her house, getting ready for bed with the other women, when she turned towards the opening door.
Through the window you could see in her face that moment of hesitation as three figures ran in, that instant of disbelief as she struggled to accept they really were her children tearing towards her. And then she grabbed them, clutching at each one with arms that said they would never let go, pulling their heads to her breast as she sobbed and sobbed.
With hollow eyes, 30 others in the temporary camp gazed through the glass in disbelief. People such as Martunis, who lost his wife and children and parents and was transfixed by the reunion.
"This is the first since I've been here that I've seen a family get back together," he said.
Next to him stood Yusup, getting used to life without a family, who said how happy he was with what he saw. "I hope my family is in some other place and will make it back here, too," he said.
They were happy that someone had finally found their children, but their eyes seem to ask how could it be that one woman got all her children back when they had none.
In a place where newspapers are still half-filled with advertisements seeking information about missing relatives, the idea of finding someone alive is almost beyond belief.
And although she said it was "beyond my dreams" to have found her family alive, their first night together was touched with pain as the children demanded answers about the fate of their friends.
"They asked everything. They asked about each cousin, about who they sit next to at school. I told them they were all gone," she said.
"I told them that those who died are now in heaven. This is the life God has given us, this is the test from God, so the lesson is we should not forget God in everything we do. We have to pray everyday so we survive."
Cutchairiah had been in Banda Aceh, 80 kilometres to the north, buying special foods for the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha when the tsunami struck. Her children survived because they were with their father in Meulaboh, 160 kilometres south of their home in Lamno, where they were staying in their grandmother's house.
That house was just 200 metres from the sea, and as each day brought worse news to Banda Aceh about the devastation in Meulaboh, Cutchairiah grew more fearful that her children and husband, Jaddal Husainik, had perished.
She had to go home to Lamno, but was too scared of the water to take a boat. And so, 11 days after the tsunami hit, she set off alone on foot against the orders of family members in Banda Aceh.
"I told (them) that even if they kill me I will go. God let me survive so surely they will let me get to Lamno," she said.
She walked all day and all night past hundreds of dead bodies until she got home, where she found that half of the 48 villages in Lamno had disappeared, including hers. Her house was gone and so, too, was her school, and every one of the teachers and the principal.
Not knowing what to do, or the fate of her family, she moved into the classroom where she still lives. Several days later, she met a cousin who told her that her husband and children had survived in Meulaboh.
They were out of their house when the tsunami hit and, although caught in water up to their waists, managed to scramble onto the top floor of a shop.
Her husband went to Lamno alone to search for his wife. He found her, collected the children in Meulaboh and spent two weeks taking them across Sumatra to Medan, then up the coast to Banda Aceh, where they boarded the boat that took them to their mother.
