This chapter introduces you to Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Viewer, and contains the following topics:
"What are the new features in Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Viewer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)?"
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer is an intuitive ad-hoc query, reporting, analysis, and Web publishing toolset that gives business users immediate access to information in databases.
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer enables business users at all levels of the organization to make faster and more informed business decisions. Using any standard Web browser, you have secure and immediate access to data from both relational and multidimensional data sources. Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer provides a business view to hide the complexity of the underlying data structures, enabling you to focus on solving business problems.
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer consists of several integrated components that work with the Oracle database to give you a complete and integrated Business Intelligence solution.
Figure 1-1 The Oracle BI Discoverer components
The Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer component you use depends on the task you want to perform.
To create new worksheets and analyze data from both relational and multi-dimensional data sources across the Web, you use Discoverer Plus (Relational and OLAP)
To create new worksheets and analyze data from relational data sources using a Windows application on a PC, you use Discoverer Desktop
To analyze data in existing worksheets, you use Discoverer Viewer or Discoverer portlets (that have been added to an Oracle Portal page or Oracle WebCenter Spaces using Discoverer Portlet Provider)
To obtain Discoverer connections, workbooks, worksheets, and execute queries in Oracle BI Publisher, or from a Java client application using the SOAP protocol, you use Discoverer Web Services
To display Discoverer worksheets as gauges in dashboard-style portals, you use Discoverer Portlet Provider and Discoverer portlets
To manage the end user view of relational data, you use Discoverer Administrator
The Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer components use definitions of Discoverer objects stored in the Discoverer End User Layer or the Discoverer Catalog.
Decision makers today need a business intelligence solution to track up-to-the-minute company information and key performance indicators. Part of Oracle Business Intelligence, Oracle BI Discoverer Viewer is an intuitive ad hoc query, reporting and analysis tool that gives business users immediate access to information from data warehouses, datamarts and online transactional processing systems.
Using Discoverer Viewer, business users can easily turn data into information and publish it seamlessly throughout the enterprise using a familiar and intuitive user interface, the Web browser.
Reasons why you use Discoverer Viewer are as follows:
Discoverer Viewer is easy to use and enables you to interact directly with data using familiar terminology and a Web browser. Anyone familiar with using a browser can use Discoverer Viewer.
Existing business views of the database are immediately available to Discoverer Viewer users. Any reports (workbooks) created using Discoverer Plus or Discoverer Desktop can be run from Discoverer Viewer immediately.
All the usual facilities of your Web browser are available:
bookmark your favorite reports
use the Back and Forward buttons to navigate
use the browser Print function for print output
launch registered applications to process data exported using Discoverer Viewer
Discoverer Viewer uses the existing database security as defined within Discoverer Administrator. No additional setup is required, and no one can view data they are not authorized to see. When used with Oracle Applications, Discoverer Viewer uses the Oracle Applications security model, including the use of roles and responsibilities. Discoverer Viewer is the only business intelligence product to integrate directly with the Oracle Applications security model.
Discoverer Viewer can be used as a standalone business intelligence tool or can be used to integrate database output into your Web site and portal. In addition, Discoverer Viewer is easily customized to fit in with your Web site look and feel, to incorporate your company's logo or other artwork, or to build custom Discoverer applications for the Web. For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer.
Discoverer Viewer supports many different languages. You can specify your preferred language by choosing from a drop down list on either the Connect page or the Options page. The drop down list on the Connect page defaults to your preferred language (as set in your browser). For more information on setting your preferred language, see your browser's documentation.
Using Oracle Portal, you can publish Discoverer workbooks and worksheets to an enterprise information portal quickly and easily. Oracle Portal's intuitive user interface guides you through the publishing process step by step, enabling non-technical business users to create powerful business intelligence portals with ease.
Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Viewer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) contains the following new and improved features:
Enhanced navigation - the ability to navigate to any page of the Viewer results (for more information, see "Worksheet Display page: (Table/Crosstab tools)").
Workbooks are Discoverer files that contain worksheets displaying data retrieved from the database. If you are familiar with spreadsheet applications (for example, Microsoft Excel), think of a workbook as a spreadsheet file. Discoverer workbooks are stored in the database (for relational data) or the Discoverer Catalog (for multidimensional data).
Workbooks typically contain data that is related in some way but organized to show different perspectives.
Worksheets contain the data you want to analyze, and several features to help you analyze the data. For example, a worksheet can contain parameters, totals, percentages, exceptions, and calculations.
If you are familiar with spreadsheet applications (for example, Microsoft Excel), think of a workbook as a spreadsheet file and worksheets as different sheets in that spreadsheet file.
In Discoverer you can display data in two different ways:
in a table worksheet - see "About table worksheets"
in a crosstab (that is, cross-tabular) worksheet - see "About crosstab worksheets"
A table worksheet lists data in rows and columns. The figure below shows an example table worksheet analyzing profit values for cities within a region.
Note: The table worksheet style is only used for analyzing relational data.
A crosstab worksheet (short for cross-tabulated worksheet) relates two different sets of data and summarizes their interrelationship in terms of a third set of data. The figure below shows an example crosstab analyzing profit values for regions by department.
Figure 1-3 A crosstab worksheet
The region and department items are displayed as rows and columns on the crosstab. Each row and column intersection shows a data point, which in this case is the profit total for a particular region and a particular department.
A cube in a multidimensional data source has the following components:
A measure, which is the name given to the data itself.
One or more dimensions. Dimension is the name given to the parts of the cube that categorize the data, such as Product, Geography, and Time. Dimensions have dimension members, dimension hierarchies, and attributes.
The cube contains a measure value for each possible combination of the different dimensions. It is therefore very quick for applications such as Discoverer Plus OLAP to find the value for sales of a particular product in a particular city in a particular year.
In OLAP metadata, measures represent data that can be examined and analyzed in crosstabs and graphs. Examples include Sales, Cost, and Profit.
Measures have dimensions that categorize the data in the measure. For example, a Sales measure might have Product, Time, and Geography as its dimensions. When a measure has a particular dimension, the measure is said to be dimensioned by that dimension. For example, Sales is dimensioned by Product. The group of dimensions for a measure constitute the dimensionality of that measure. For example, the dimensionality of Sales is Product, Time, and Geography.
Each element in a dimension is a dimension member. For example, January 2001, February 2001, March 2001, Quarter 1 2001, and the year 2001 are likely members of the Time dimension.
A dimension hierarchy describes a hierarchical relationship between two or more dimension members.
Individual dimension members might be related to each other in a hierarchical way. For example, a specific day belongs to a particular month, which in turn is within a particular year. To reflect such relationships, dimension members are organized into dimension hierarchies.
A dimension hierarchy is a logical structure that uses ordered levels to organize and aggregate data. For example, the Time dimension might have a hierarchy to aggregate data from the Month level to the Quarter level to the Year level.
A dimension can have multiple hierarchies. For example, in addition to the Month-Quarter-Year dimension hierarchy, the Time dimension might also have a Day-Month-Year dimension hierarchy. Note that where multiple dimension hierarchies exist for the same dimension, one dimension hierarchy must be specified as the default hierarchy.
A dimension attribute describes a characteristic that is shared by dimension members. Dimension attributes enable you to select data based on similar characteristics. For example, a Product dimension might have a Color attribute that enables you to search for all red products.

Baseball Continues Winning Week, 16-3
BATON ROUGE -- No. 13 LSU (9-2) put together a four-run fourth inning and an eight-run sixth inning Saturday to defeat Dartmouth (0-2) by a score of 16-3 in the second game of the three game series in Alex Box Stadium.
The Tigers will go for the sweep Sunday at 11 a.m. after winning the series opener, 8-4, on Friday night.
Sophomore pitcher Ryan Eades (2-1) picked up the victory for LSU. He fired six innings, allowed five hits, one run (one earned) and struck out five.
Junior first baseman Mason Katz's streak of reaching base in 17 consecutive plate appearances was ended on a first inning strike out, which left him one shy of the NCAA record. In his next at bat in the bottom of the fourth, Katz hit a home run to left center. He also drove in two runs on a sixth inning double.
Catcher Ty Ross drove home a career-high five RBI and center fielder Chris Sciambra drove in three more. Shortstop Austin Nola chipped in a pair of doubles in a three-hit effort.
"I really like the way our lineup is coming together," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "We're coming through with some very good at-bats at key times, and the hits are coming from the top and bottom of the order."
Dartmouth's Mitch Horacek (0-1) took the loss. The left-hander allowed nine runs (seven earned) on eight hits and two walks in five innings of work.
LSU opened the scoring in the bottom of the fourth. Katz propelled a one-out solo shot into the left field bleachers. The long ball was his second of the series and third of the season.
Rightfielder Raph Rhymes proceeded to line a double to the wall in left center. Nola drew a one-out walk to put two runners on. Third baseman Tyler Hanover popped up behind first. Designated hitter Jackson Slaid hit a dribbler down the third base line that Dartmouth hoped would go foul, but the ball stayed in play and the bases were loaded for Ross.
Ross cleared the bases on a double into the right field corner to give LSU the 4-0 lead.
Dartmouth threatened in the top of the fifth. Jeff Keller reached first on a throwing error by Nola. Eades forced Nick Lombardi to pop out for the first out. Keller moved to third on Matt Robinson's single under Jones's glove at second. Eades responded to the runners on the corner by striking out Chad Piersma and getting Jake Carlson to ground out.
"I thought the real story of the game was the performance of Ryan Eades," Mainieri said. "He pounded the zone, really went after their hitters and competed at a very high level."
Dartmouth cut into the Tigers' lead in the top of the sixth. Joe Sclafani led off the inning with a single, but was forced out at second on pinch hitter Thomas Roulis' fielder's choice. Chris O'Dowd knocked a single up the middle to place runners on the corner. Eades forced Ennis Coble to line out to Nola at short.
Keller sneaked a single up the middle to plate Roulis and move O'Dowd to third. After a mound visit from pitching coach Alan Dunn, Eades got Nick Lombardi to pop up to Nola to end the rally.
LSU's bats responded in the bottom half of the sixth. Nola led off the frame and cracked his second double of the contest. Hanover's perfect bunt attempt allowed him to reach first safely and advanced Nola to third. Slaid walked to load the bases.
Ross stepped in with the bases loaded for the second time and drove in two with a single to right. Slaid advanced to third and scored on Sciambra's sacrifice bunt that was mishandled by the pitcher.
Reliever Mike Dodakian got left fielder Jared Foster to line out before second baseman JaCoby Jones bunted Ross and Sciambra to third and second, respectively. Katz laced a double down the left field line to score both runners.
The next pitch hit Rhymes. Nola plated Katz on a single to center and Rhymes moved to second. A wild pitch advanced both runners into scoring position. Hanover cranked a double down the left field line to score Nola and Rhymes, increasing the lead to 12-1.
In the top of the seventh, the Big Green loaded the bases against reliever Nick Rumbelow on consecutive walks to Robinson and Piersma and a single by Carlson.
Rumbelow struck out Sclafani and forced Roulis to ground out to third, but Robinson scored from third on the fielder's choice. Rumbelow struck out O'Dowd to leave the deficit at 12-2.
LSU added to the lead in the bottom of the seventh. Back-to-back walks to Sciambra and Foster placed runners on first and second. Jones hit an infield single and the throw to first was off target. Sciambra scored on the play and Jones was thrown out trying to retreat back to first.
In the bottom of the eighth, Jordy Snikeris delivered an RBI single and Sciambra produced a two-run single to increase the lead to 16-2.
Dartmouth added one in the ninth against reliever Brent Bonvillain to account for the final margin.

As it happened: Roxon, Evans quit Gillard's Cabinet
Attorney-General Nicola Roxon and Senate leader Chris Evans have stood down from their portfolios, triggering a major Cabinet reshuffle eight months out from the federal election.
Ms Roxon will move to the backbench until the election then leave politics, creating a vacancy in her safe Melbourne seat of Gellibrand, while Senator Evans says he will leave the Senate within months.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been forced to reshuffle the Cabinet, moving Mark Dreyfus into the Attorney-General's role.
She told reporters in Canberra this will be the team she takes to the September 14 election.
Look back at how Saturday's announcement unfolded. (All times in AEDT.)
2:11pm: Incoming Attorney-General, Mark Dreyfus, speaks to the ABC's political editor Lyndal Curtis.
"I'm thrilled and honoured to be serving as Australia's first law officer. I have been sitting in Cabinet as the Cabinet Secretary since the election, so to some extent that will be a familiar environment, but of course the workload will increase and I'm thrilled to have this opportunity.
"I've had a long career in the law and it's a career that's given me... a number of deep beliefs about the Australian legal system, such as Australian laws are there to protect and care for all Australians - our elderly, our workers, our injured, outspoken journalists.
"As well I think that Australian laws need to reflect our national values of fairness and equality of opportunity."
1:44pm: Following the reshuffle, the Liberal Party's Christopher Pyne, who is Manager of Opposition Business, tells reporters Ms Gillard needs to convince people the Government is stable.
"The Prime Minister's alibi today about the resignations from her frontbench doesn't stack up.
"She says she's been talking to Nicola Roxon for 12 months about resigning from the Cabinet and yet 12 months ago, she was defeating Kevin Rudd in the leadership ballot and then appointed Nicola Roxon as Attorney-General."
He also speculated that other MPs would be quitting:
"My understanding is there are more resignations to come from the frontbench and from the Parliament."
1:20pm: ABC radio's Saturday AM had a 10-minute special program looking at the winners and losers in the Cabinet reshuffle.
1:12pm: Watch ABC political editor Lyndal Curtis's analysis on ABC News24:
12:49pm: Both Nicola Roxon and Chris Evans have had lengthy careers in Parliament.
Ms Roxon has been in Parliament since 1998 and Senator Evans has served for 20 years.
12:28pm: Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has joined the conversation on Twitter:
"On September 14, Australians will have the clearest choice in a generation. The Coalition is ready with clear positive plans for Australia."
12:23pm: Here's video of Nicola Roxon and Chris Evans announcing their resignations a short time ago:
12:17pm: ABC political editor Lyndal Curtis says Chris Bowen hasn't been demoted by being moved from the immigration ministry:
"He remains in Cabinet. There's all a ranking of Cabinet ministers in order of seniority. The PM is first, the Deputy PM second, then the Senate leader. I think the Immigration Minister is slightly higher on that Cabinet ranking than some other ministers.
"But Chris Bowen has been Immigration Minister for quite some time. It's a very difficult and demanding job. Especially when you have a young family.
"He has had previously an economic focus. That's the sort of thing he enjoys. The role gets him back into an economic focus, it's tertiary education, skills, science research and also small business.
"So I think he would welcome a focus back on the economic portfolios. The PM certainly believes it's a promotion and a couple of other senior MPs ministers I've spoken to also say that it is a good job"
12:13pm: Deputy Prime Minister Wayne Swan has tweeted:
"Australia is a better country because of the contribution of Nicola Roxon & Chris Evans. We wish them & their families all the very best."
12:00pm: Take a look at who's going where:
Chris Evans
Chris Evans steps down as Labor Senate leader and resigns from Cabinet, effective in the next couple of months.
Nicola Roxon
Ms Roxon moves to the backbench and will not be contesting this year's federal election, creating a vacancy in her safe Melbourne seat of Gellibrand.
Mark Dreyfus
Mark Dreyfus will replace Ms Roxon as Attorney-General and Minister for Emergency Management, relinquishing the role of Cabinet Secretary.
Mike Kelly
Mike Kelly enters the Ministry as Minister for Defence Materiel.
Jason Clare
Jason Clare takes on the role of Cabinet Secretary and retains Home Affairs and Justice.
|On the move
Chris Bowen
Chris Bowen will replace Senator Evans as Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research. He will also have responsibility for Small Business.
Mark Butler
Mark Butler takes on Housing and Homelessness.
Brendan O'Connor
Brendan O'Connor will become Minister for Immigration and Citizenship.
11:50am: Julia Gillard wraps things up. Lyndal Curtis is now giving her analysis on ABC News24:
"Gillard says this is the right time for this to happen."
11:42am: Julia Gillard says this is the team for the next election.
11:33am: Julia Gillard says Labor caucus likely to come together on Monday to vote in the new Senate Leader.
If it suits the Governor-General, Ms Gillard says the swearing in for the new ministers should also happen Monday.
11:29am: Julia Gillard outlines who is going where:
Chris Bowen will replace Senator Evans as Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research.
Mark Dreyfus will replace Ms Roxon as Attorney-General and Minister for Emergency Management, relinquishing the role of Cabinet Secretary to Jason Clare, who retains Home Affairs and Justice.
Brendan O'Connor will become Minister for Immigration and Citizenship whilst Mark Butler takes on Housing and Homelessness.
Mike Kelly enters the Ministry as Minister for Defence Materiel.
Ms Gillard says she also welcomes new Parliamentary Secretaries Yvette D'Ath (Climate Change and Energy Efficiency), Kelvin Thompson (Trade) and Melissa Parke (Mental Health, Homelessness and Social Housing) and thanks Justine Elliot for her contribution in the Trade portfolio.
11:28am: Julia Gillard is speaking again, with a tissue on hand - she says it's been an emotional day.
11:25am: Nicola Roxon says she is amazed we have a Prime Minister "made of titanium".
11:23am: Nicola Roxon also has a dig at Opposition Leader Tony Abbott:
"My only regret as health minister is the inordinate amount of time we were too long fixing many of the problems that Mr Abbott left from his time as health minister. A lot of my time, a lot of the Government's time, a lot of staff and bureaucratic time fixing issues that were simply neglected for the nearly four years that he was the health minister."
11:22am: Both Nicola Roxon and Chris Evans have said they believe Labor can win the election in September.
Roxon is now talking about her achievements as health minister and Attorney-General.
11:20am: Roxon struggling to hold back tears. She says she is struggling to keep doing her job at 200 per cent.
"All of us need to make decisions about the right time to leave and I believe the right time is now and I must say PM, what was a very difficult decision was made a lot easier by the fact that the Labor Party does bat so deep. The PM has a wealth of talent and ability and enthusiasm to choose from in replacing me and in replacing Chris."
11:19am: Nicola Roxon up now. Confirms she is standing down.
11:18am: Chris Evans says Julia Gillard is the "outstanding PM of her generation". He also pays tribute to his staff:
"I want to thank my staff in particular, this in game you're only as good as your staff. I've had great support from my staff, tremendously talented and loyal people."
11:15am: Chris Evans:
"I want to make it very clear, I'm not leaving tired, sick or bitter, I'm leaving fit, healthy and confident of the future of the Government."
11:13am: Chris Evans says he is stepping down as Labor Senate leader and resigning from Cabinet, effective in the next couple of months.
"I want to thank the PM for her support, she indicated that we had a conversation a fair while ago now about a planned departure and that I indicated I would go at the time of her convenience as she reshaped the team for the coming election."
11:11am: Chris Evans speaking now. He cracks a joke that Julia Gillard spoke so nicely about him that now he doesn't want to leave.
11:10am: Julia Gillard mentions Nicola Roxon's work introducing plain cigarette packaging:
"She has fiercely taken on the power of big tobacco and she has won. And has an international reputation for taking on big tobacco and winning."
11:09am: Gillard now paying tribute to Nicola Roxon. She says they entered Parliament at the same time.
11:08am: Julia Gillard praises Senator Evans' work as immigration minister:
"He shaped changes to our temporary and permanent skilled migration streams, he made sure that that was serving our economy and he played a major role in cracking down on the rorts in 457 visas, the temporary visas bringing people into the country who were being exploited once they got here. He abolished temporary protection visas and detention debt and introduced Labor's detention values for the treatment of asylum seekers."
11:06am: Julia Gillard says Evans and Roxon are standing down. She has been discussing their moves with them since last year.
"They certainly go with my thanks and they will be able to reflect on a proud track record of achievement."
10:52am: It's been a dramatic week in politics. First Julia Gillard surprised most people - even those in her own Government - by announcing a federal election would be held on September 14.
Look back at our coverage of that story here.
Then on Thursday, crossbench MP Craig Thomson was arrested on 150 fraud charges as part of an investigation into the HSU.
Now, we are set to see two of Ms Gillard's most senior Cabinet members quit.
10:23am: Trade Minister Craig Emerson hast told ABC News24 that Ms Roxon is resigning for personal reasons.
"[Ms Roxon's] baby was born while [she] was a member of Parliament. I think that everyone understands the personal circumstances of a mum.
"She misses her child. Everyone who is watching who is a mum or dad would understand that."
10:19am: Last night Liberal frontbencher Christopher Pyne spoke to Lateline before news of Ms Roxon's possible resignation broke. He said Senator Evans would not be the last to stand down.
"The information that I have is that Chris Evans has resigned not because of ill health - which was my first thought - but because he has had enough," Mr Pyne said.
"I also hear that he may not be the last resignation in the coming days."
10:17am: Opposition leader Tony Abbott is in Bundaberg and says Australians have the right to expect stability in the Government.
"It is going to be very important in the days and weeks ahead that there is a strong and stable government in Canberra and I regret to say that just at the moment that doesn't appear to be the case," he said.
"Now I hope the Prime Minister can steady her ship and offer stable Government."

Concise description:
- Fog-up the number of regions when Fog-of-War is chosen as a game setting.
- Make Fog of War how it should be, and used to be for non-script users
- Prevent opponents from knowing how many regions you have
- Put the work in the hands of the opponent to scroll the Game Log for your number of regions
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- This will make the game truly fog-of-war as it was before the new integration was added to the game board. While certain scripts might allow players to know how many regions an opponent has in fog-of-war, it would be vastly more interesting and challenging to have the number of regions fogged up by the actual game interface.
- Keeps Fog-Of-War truly foggy. By allowing us to see our opponents number of regions, we can intuitively determine how many armies they will receive on their turn. Certainly some players may start a game with a bonus, but we can see that in the game log. If we're required to look to the game log for data about bonuses, then put us in the position of determining the number of teritories by looking at the Game Log as well.

Church Choir meets Star Trek!
Choir dress says something about the choir. Those revolting Geneva gowns with a big V-shaped collar say "Hey y'all! I can sing off key!".
The classic, cassock and cotta says the choir takes what it's doing seriously.
I don't know what to make of this! I think it says these people are confused.

Looking at this site, one draws one of two conclusions.
Either the effeminate side of the gay movement has taken over the vestment industry to promote their cause and the heteros are clueless as they wear their creations,
all these people are actually reflecting their theology with these vestments -- tasteless, laughable, weak, effiminate, in-your-face, tooty-fruity, and about as far away from the Bible as you can get.
The closest King James Bible reference would be Joseph's coat of many colors -- but that caused division and slavery within the family of God. There is no way I can envision John the Baptist or Jesus preaching their messages dressed like these fops. Is there any wonder the world laughs at the church and marginalizes its leaders when it comes to being the salt of the earth and light of the world? Oops! Sorry I just put a dark cloud in front of the silver living which is this website.
Keep them coming. I need to laugh once in a while. This sites more than fulfills that need.

Choir robe for an evangelical or pentecostal denomination, probably in a larger city or in the South (think lots of body motion, hands in air or clapping at times, call and response choral music). And it looks hot (as in, need a fan tucked into your music folder hot).

I was so shattered by viewing the grotesque clown in the page after this one, -- that this vestment (or whatever) isby comparison a paragon of sober dignity.

Tin Ceilings by the Tin Man is the Tin Ceiling Company with a Heart.
Tin ceilings are our only business. We are a manufacturer and supplier of tin ceiling tiles, tin ceiling crown molding (cornice), suspended ceilings, tin tile backsplash and other tin products such as molding, frieze and copper sheets. Chelsea Decorative Metal Company is a family owned business now owned by Glenn "The Tin Man" Eldridge. His father Teddy, sold tin tile ceilings, as well as installed the tin tiles in New York City. Glenn worked at Yankee Stadium as a vender, but it was after going to the Woodstock Festival (1969) that Glenn joined his father and began installing tin tile ceilings. Today, he is the only person in the industry that not only manufactures tin tile ceilings, but has also been an installer of tin tiles. By the way Glenn named his dog Rin Tin Tin.
Chelsea's tin tile ceilings are used both commercially and residentially. Commercially, the tin tiles are being used in suspended ceilings, as well as, being installed the original way tin tile ceilings were installed throughout the 20th century with hammer and nails. They are used in restaurants, office buildings, bars and night clubs, retail stores, churches and movie sets. You can see the tin ceiling tiles in "Coyote Ugly" and "Spiderman". More recently in "Jonah Hex" and the soon to be released remake of "True Grit". Many TV shows use the tin ceiling tiles for background sets. Residentially they can be used in every room, adding elegance to a dining room, fun to a playroom and nostalgia to the whole house. Kitchen remodeling with these tile ceilings are very popular. You can do a tile ceiling or a tile backsplash with a faux (hand painted) finish or use our copper sheets. The tin ceiling tiles can be used as a backsplash, a wainscoting or a wall covering. People even use the tin ceiling tiles for wall hangings, picture frames, inserts and many arts & craft projects.
The tin ceiling tiles mostly come in 2 ft. X 4 ft. sheets, but some tin ceiling tiles come in 2 ft. X 2 ft. panels. Either size makes it easily to install. The tin ceiling tiles are becoming more and more popular for suspended ceilings (drop tin ceilings). The Tin Man's tiles are ORIGINAL DESIGNS that date back to the 1800's. The tin ceiling tiles were used as an alternative to the decorative plaster of the time. The tin ceiling tiles come in a shiny silver tin finish, which can be paint directly to with an oil-based paint. You can also paint the metal tiles gold for a brilliant metallic look. Note: We now have the tin ceiling tiles in copper sheets.
All the tin ceiling tiles are made of tin-plated steel which are excellent for paint retention, but take a look at our faux (hand painted) finishes. The various styles, which are original designs, range from Art Deco to Victorian. The Victorian style is the most popular of all tin ceiling tile designs. Other styles are Americana, Art Deco, Generic and Turn of the Century.
Patterns come in 3 inch, 6 inch, 12 inch and 24 inch repeat patterns. Also available are crown molding (cornice) and fillers. Please take time to browse our eye pleasing selections of tin ceiling tiles in our Styles Section.
The tin ceiling tiles are used for home renovation as well as kitchen remodeling. The do-it-yourselfers love the metal tiles as well. Chelsea's tin ceiling tiles are priced reasonably and our consulting and service makes our customers very happy to use us. Since we manufacture tin ceiling tiles, our stock is plentiful and orders can usually be shipped immediately. Not only do we manufacture tin ceilings, but offer free consultations. We are not just sales people at Chelsea and we will be glad to answer any and all questions from either you, your builder or your designer. We have found that many people not only love the tin ceiling tiles, but the tin ceiling tiles bring back the nostalgia of their youth, either the ice cream parlor had tin ceiling tiles or there were tin ceiling tiles in the hardware store.
Thank you for taking time to look through our website at the many tin ceiling tile designs, the tin ceiling tile finishes and our gallery with pictures of the tin ceiling tiles. Please do not hesitate to call for any question or concerns: 713-721-9200.

There are plenty of examples of aliens in ancient art that clearly depict the fact that UFOs and extraterrestrial beings were around in those days. ET's and flying saucers appear in cave paintings, tapestries, woodcuts and paintings.
This 15th century painting of the Virgin Mary shows a UFO in the background. A man is pointing up at it and his dog is barking at the object.
This 15th century painting of the Virgin Mary shows a UFO in the background. A man is pointing up at it and his dog is barking at the object.
"The Baptism of Christ" was Painted in 1710 by Flemish artist Aert De Gelder depicts a classic, hovering, silvery, saucer shaped UFO shining beams of light down on John the Baptist and Jesus.
17th Century fresco depicting the Crucifixion of Christ, located in the Svetishoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta, Georgia. Notice the two saucer shaped objects on either side of Christ complete with stylized flames, blasting off in either direction.
"La Tebaide" ~ Academy of Florence, painted c.1460-1465 by Paolo Uccello The close-up (right) shows a reddish, classic saucer shaped UFO near Jesus. In addition, the tall pine trees in the foreground display the same patterns as seen in the lenticular clouds of other similar religious UFO paintings.
UFO Sighting from Westminster, England in 1742
These two tapestries were created in the 15th century. Both are located at the French Basillica Notre-Dame in Beaune, Burgandy. Hat shaped objects can be clearly seen in both tapestries which depict the life of Mary.
"Summer's Triumph" ~ tapestry created in Bruges, in 1538 Bayerisches National Museum. Several disc shaped objects are clearly depicted in the sky, near the top of the tapestry.
"The Miracle of the Snow" by Masolino Da Panicale circa 1400 from Florence, Italy in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, depicting Jesus and Mary on very non vaporous "lenticular clouds" (flat and circular), or accompanied by an armada of flying saucers stretching beyond the horizon.
In this painting on wood drawer from furniture kept at the Earls D'Oltremond, in Belgium, Moses is depicted receiving the tablets of the Ten Commandments, with "flaming horns."

The devastating drought that has settled over much of the nation this summer has renewed interest in using water more efficiently. Nowhere has the issue been more critical and for a longer time than in the Western U.S.
A recent water management conference, sponsored by the USDA Western Sustainable Agriculture and Research and Education and New Mexico State University, brought together some of the West's foremost authorities to Santa Fe to discuss water conservation methods and water policy.
"A recent survey indicated that water is a priority issue in New Mexico," said NMSU Extension vegetable specialist and conference organizer Stephanie walker.

Linebacker Bart Scott has a solid theory about what sunk this season's New York Jets.
Finishing 6-10, the Jets underwhelmed weekly. Stories of a drama-filled locker room didn't help, but that's not what Scott pointed to this week.
"You can ask Tim Tebow. You can ask anybody in there. We were together," Scott told Showtime's "Inside the NFL," per The Star-Ledger. "There was never any complaining ... guys worked hard. You know what the problem was with the New York Jets this year? We didn't have enough quality players to win. Simple as that."
Jets owner Woody Johnson clearly agrees, having fired the man -- former general manager Mike Tannenbaum -- who picked players for the team during Rex Ryan's first four seasons as coach. The Jets have encountered troubles finding a front-office successor, which clearly is linked to some of the problems bubbling up in Florham Park.
The quarterback situation is an overt mess, with Mark Sanchez locked into a guaranteed-money deal that makes him next to impossible to release or trade. The once-fearsome offensive line was a sideshow last season. The offense lacks skill players, filled instead with too many of Ryan's "guys," but not enough genuine difference-makers. (And Scott, himself, was no wonder.)
Then, of course, there's Ryan. A talented coach, but someone the next GM must work with for at least another season. Johnson, slowly but surely, is running out of men to blame.

Lucky is the parallel programmer with a mini-cray under the desk. A personal Cray does not simplify life for many people. I heard someone say that the disadvantage of working as a private consultant is the time spent being one's own IT department. For many people, even in technical fields, maintaining MS Windows (not to mention Linux) is difficult or at least annoying. So even a simplified Cray with MS Windows at a company would probably not be "personal" but rather maintained by the IT support. I welcome comments from other people as to whether I'm accurate about my sense of what is typical at company. The key added value (aside from the Cray nameplate) is the support for easy installation. But I remember the Cray XD1 (acquired from Octiga Bay). If sales volume is low the product line might be dropped so the specialized simplifications provided by Cray may not be useful after a few years.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of genetic conditions. These conditions affect the adrenal glands. These glands control how the body grows and develops. There are many types of CAH.
CAH is a genetic disorder. It is passed from the parents to the child.
The symptoms of CAH are caused by problems in the adrenal glands. In CAH, the glands may have trouble making one or both of the following hormones:
The adrenal gland will work harder to try to produce more of the missing hormones. This can lead to an overproduction of another hormone called androgen. This hormone is present in boys and girls, but is responsible for the development of male features. Other adrenal hormones may affect how the body handles salt and water.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A family history of CAH will increase your child's chance of having the condition. People can carry the gene for CAH and not have the disorder. In this case, both parents must have the CAH gene for the child to have a 25% chance of getting CAH.
Symptoms can vary with the different types of CAH and the gender of the child. General symptoms include:
Testing may be done during pregnancy, just after birth, or after symptoms develop.
Testing may be done during pregnancy if there is a family history of CAH, especially if a sibling has the disease. Small samples of tissue or amniotic fluid may be removed for testing. The samples are taken by one of the following:
In the United States, all newborn children are screened for CAH. The test involves a heelstick to draw some blood. The blood will be examined for hormone levels.
To diagnose CAH in older children or in those that were not screened as newborns, you will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may take a small amount of blood and urine to test for hormone levels. This is often enough to make the diagnosis.
If the tests are not clear, genetic tests may be ordered. This is done with blood tests.
You and your child may be referred to a specialist. Talk with their doctor about the best treatment plan. With treatment, your child can have a normal life. Treatment options include:
If CAH is found before birth,
medication may be used to lower the level of androgens. It may allow normal development of female genitalia. It does not stop CAH from developing.
The medication may be taken as a pill or given as a liquid by the mother.
Missing aldosterone can cause a condition called salt wasting. This is a problem maintaining the correct amount of salt in the blood. It can lead to low blood pressure and a high potassium level in the blood. If you have salt wasting, you may need to add table salt to your diet.
Most children born with CAH need to take hormone replacement medications. These steroid medications will replace the missing hormones. The exact types of steroid will depend on your child's condition. The medication will also help slow the production of androgens. This will reduce the development of male features in girls.
Certain doses of these medications can have side effects like slowing growth or lowering bone mass. Hormone replacement can also lead obesity and to a condition called
Cushings syndrome. Your child will be monitored. Medications will be adjusted as needed.
Cortisol is needed during stressful situations and illness. If you are taking medication to replace cortisol, you may need extra doses during stressful events. This can include surgeries or illnesses. Your doctor will make a medication plan with you.
Depending on the type of CAH, medication may need to be taken for the rest of your child's life.
Wear a medical alert bracelet that states adrenal insufficiency. This will let others know of your condition if you are unable to communicate.
Surgery can correct unusually formed genitalia. It is often done when the child is between 1-3 years of age.
CAH is an inherited disorder. There are no preventive measures.
If someone in your immediate family has CAH, talk to your doctor about genetic testing. This is important if you are expecting or planning to have a child.

Today the Panthers take on Georgetown at 4 p.m. on the road. You can follow the score online or watch through Georgetown's all-access.
Probably the most soft-spoken of the Panthers, sophomore Cora McManus is definitely not a quiet presence on the court. She has earned the start in the past three games and made the most of the opportunity, averaging seven points and six rebounds over that span.
Last season, McManus spent most of the season on the
sidelines due to an injury and season-ending surgery. The Seattle native -- who
began playing basketball in the sixth grade because her team needed more
players -- is ready to be more of a vocal leader in 2013 on and off the court.

After a short break, I am pleased to announce the next forensic challenge: Forensic Challenge 5 - Log Mysteries. This challenge takes you into the world of virtual systems and confusing log data. Figure out what happened to a virtual server using all the logs from a possibly compromised server.
Challenge 5 has been created by Raffael Marty from the Bay Area Chapter, Anton Chuvakin from the Hawaiian Chapter, and Sebastien Tricaud from the French Chapter. It is a bit more open ended than the last challenges, so I am really looking forward to some creative answers!
Submission deadline is September 30th and we will be announcing winners around October 21st. We have a few small prizes for the top three submission.

Rael was born Claude Vorilhon on September 30, 1946 in Vichy, France, and was raised in Ambert by his aunt and grandmother. Impassioned by poetry, singing, and songwriting, Rael left home at the age of fifteen and went to Paris where he performed as a singer under the pseudonym Claude Celler. As a great admirer of Jacques Brel, he sang in all the Paris Cabarets where the belgium star performed at the beginning of his career, especially L Echelle de Jacob. He became quite popular with the song Le Miel et la cannelle (Honey and cinnamon) and released 5 records between 1966 and 1971, after having been offered a contract with Disc AZ CEO by Lucien Morisse, ex-husband of the French star Dalida:
After becoming RAEL, he used his singing and songwriting talents, to our great pleasure, to enhance the values and precepts of the Raelian Philosophy such as free love, non-violence, love of differences, etc.
Rael has written over 200 songs. You can watch him sing some of them here. Some of them may be downloaded in mp3 format using the links below.

My vision!!!
I have to take off my glasses to read and use my computer! I also need much more light to read!
The last couple weeks have been a nightmare. I hurt my ankle ages ago and it mostly healed, but started acting up again. Then my opposite calf/knee is bothering me suddenly. I can't even limp properly. I fucked up my finger somehow and it doesn't hurt unless I move it while lifting something WHICH I KEEP FORGETTING.
I went to bed at 1030pm last night so I could get a good start to today because I had a lot of things to do. I woke up early, but then had to take a nap, and then got a massive headache and was unable to do anything the rest of the day. While I'm too young for menopause, I'm not too young for early menopause. Or it could just be my IUD. But I'm all over the place and I don't know if my headache is from my cycle or allergies or if i'm literally falling apart.
Like even five years ago if I were in this much pain and weird shit was happening? I'd be able to pinpoint what it is or isn't. I could chalk it up to cycle or I could freak out and run to the doctor. But now I'm in the gray zone where I eat my body weight in ibuprofen or aleve and hope the following day gets better OR AT LEAST I DON'T GET ANOTHER PHANTOM INJURY.

A source tells PEOPLE the singer will make her first public appearance since giving birth
Adele is about to emerge!
The Grammy-winning vocalist, 24 – who is nominated for a Golden Globe for her James Bond theme "Skyfall" – will attend the awards show in L.A. on Sunday, PEOPLE has learned.
This will be the first public appearance for the star since giving birth to a son last October.
Another source previously told PEOPLE that Adele and her boyfriend Simon Konecki were "totally laying low and nesting."
Although the very private singer has kept a low profile, her pal comedian Alan Carr recently told The Sun, "I have seen Adele's baby and he's such a cutie. She's doing great, she's glowing."
Now the world is about to see the glowing new mom, too.
The 70th Golden Globe Awards will air live on Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013, on NBC at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) from the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Dozens of healthcare workers from the Motion Picture & Television Fund rallied outside the charity's Wasserman campus in Woodland Hills and other locations around Los Angeles on Thursday to protest stalled contract talks with their employer.
The workers, including nurses and other caregivers, said they were picketing after contract talks between the charity and their union, Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers, appeared to hit an impasse over a host of issues.
The charity -- which operates long-term care and assisted living facilities, as well as various health clinics that serve entertainment industry workers -- has balked at the union's demands for pay hikes for about 500 members who work at the fund. For its part, the union has resisted a proposal to replace the charity's pension plan with a 401(k)-type plan and have members contribute to the premiums for their health insurance benefits. The sides also have clashed over staffing levels at the motion picture fund.

I've been reading about the brave hearts who stayed behind at Fukushima Daiichi—the nuclear power plant fatally crippled during the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in northern Japan—knowing they are likely killing themselves, staying anyway to protect their families and their community. Their example is humbling and ennobling at the same time. I wonder how well I would hold up under such pressure. Would I have the courage and self-control to stay, comforted only by the faith that my sacrifice was for the greater good? It's nice to think so, but....
The heroic act, the martyr's death: What 11-year-old did not contemplate the doing of noble deeds or long for a memorable end? Reading of the many torments of one of the North American Jesuit martyrs, St. Isaac Jogues, did I not, fleetingly at least, wonder in what blaze of pious glory my light would likewise be extinguished?
There is enough of the childlike idealist left in me sometimes to wonder what my grand gesture might be, what sacrifice I will make to better the world or leave a lasting testimony to faith. I haven't followed Isaac Jogues up the Hudson except on the Metro North, nor followed Albert Schweitzer into Africa. I have not pitched myself into the life of a Catholic Worker House. In short, I've come up pretty short in the suffering and sacrifice department. Too cowardly to follow Jogues into the red martyrdom, too co-opted for the white martyrdom of self-denial and service to others, too lazy for the green martyrdom of prayer and mortification behind monastery stones: What's left for a middle-class schmoe in the suburbs? Is there such a thing as a gray-flannel martyrdom?
Pulling out of a country club parking lot where my firstborn is taking swimming lessons, I note its impressive array of glinting, late-model luxury cars awaiting their tennis-bag-toting owners. I climb into the unwashed family Odyssey, the poor thing itself dying the coward's thousand deaths of bumper and fender dinks and scratches, and wonder about the journey I am on. "Nice little sports car," I mutter as I follow a shiny Audi out of the lot.
"What's a sports car?" number one son asks.
"It's a small car that young men or old men like to buy," I tell him. "They go very fast. I used to think I might own one someday."
El Primero surveys the Audi. He's incredulous. "You couldn't get more than four people in that," he says. "Papa, you need a car for six."
"I'm aware of that," I say. "Don't worry; I won't be getting a sports car." Then, muttering in most unmanly fashion, I add, "I guess I missed my chance."
He's silent a moment, digesting that last juvenile morsel of regret. "If you had no family, you could get one," he finally says. "If you were still single." I'm jolted. Have I been talking in my sleep?
"You could get one if you had just one kid," he adds, "even two."
"But I've got four," I say, turning the Odyssey slowly (the only way it knows how) out of the lot.
"You've got four," he agrees.
"I'd rather have my four kids than a sports car any day," I tell him, hoping he will feel the same way himself some day. "Four kids is much more fun."
This is not to compare myself to Isaac Jogues or the heroic workers of Fukushima or real martyrs anywhere. I am not so deluded as to believe that passing up a sports car should earn me any hosannas. Let's just call this a small reminder that he and she also serve and sacrifice, if gladly, who only clean up after the sick, get the kids fed and to bed and chauffeur the swimming lesson.
It is a kind of martyrdom that is not especially heroic or colorful, but it's roomy and gets great gas mileage.
I really don't want my name and address publicized, but I want to agree with Kevin Clarke. I hope you can pass this reminiscence on to him.I started out wanting 12 children. When the oldest of six was in the sixth grade and the graduating brother of one of his friends received a car for graduation present (think it was a convertible - THE sports car for very young men) I said, wait a minute. If we stop now and start saving, we can give cars for graduation presents. About three minutes later, I thought, Nah, six more kids will be more fun.
Didn't make it to twelve, but with a total of eleven, Yes, it was fun. Now, looking back, the grown children say, You sacrificed so much for us! But I remember that it was so much fun!And without much money, cooking was from scratch - we couldn't afford frozen dinners - and I think they're much healthier because of that. Reaching their teens and wanting more spending money, they soon acquired a work ethic. A daughter called last night and was reminiscing about the era of five girls in a triple bunk bed their father had built out of two by fours. The four boys slept in another room in another triple bunk. Somehow, after spending their childhood in spats, one involving a hair brush thrown from one room to another, they all want to get together as often as they can; we have a three day reunion every three years.
I am so very thankful for the pattern of my life. But, Kevin, I still would like a sports car - I've always hankered after the MG that Rock Hudson drove in the TV series "MacMillan and Wife".

I picked up the most recent America magazine, still on the table with this weeks' mail, as I plopped on my couch after my 2nd consecutive 12 hour day at work. Was I going to flip the channels to hear more of the same about Kate and Will, or thumb through America? I start at the very 1st page, and peruse throug Fukushima Daiichi,St. Isaac Jogues, Dorothy Day, not knowing where this article is going, until I connect with midle-class schmoe in the suburbs. Connect even more when I learn you drive an unwashed Odyssey,I am driving an unwashed 9 year old Town and Country that has driven 4 kids to 3 colleges for the past 9 years, Cornell, Univ of Scranton, now 2 at Northeasern in Boston. (120,00 miles on the minvan)
And our youngest ( we have 5 children) also went to swimming lessons, basketball practices,& now Little League practices and games.
While I admire the martyrs throughout history, the day to day raising of what many consider a large family is , while not martyrdom, certainly counter-cultural.
I am e mailing your column to my four oldest children. I will ask them if anything sounds familiar to them. I think you have described my husband's life.
I imagine many parents have been martyrs. Lucky parents may find parenting fun, but there are a great many for whom it's a long, hard pull, or worse.
Those of us who live in the 'burbs and ferry kids around often look at the shiny cars of others in the parking lot and wonder what we are doing in our minivans, and how the heck did we get here?
While the martyrdom of parents isn't grand and glorious to others, it is small and wonderful to our kids. Well, I think, or hope it at least it will be in retrospect. But parents do martyr themselves to their vocation (remember! Our families are our vocation!!) in countless ways every day. Every time a kid wails, and we offer our patience to them, and our impatience up to the Lord, we martyr ourselves. Every time we try and control toddler OCD of one kind or another, let them jump in puddles and pick dandelions and rather much lollygag rather than getting on with a walk, we let a part of our adult selves die, not permanently, so that our children can live a child's life. It is small, no one notices but us and God. But it is still beautiful and mysterious.
Welcome to the No Sports Car of America Club.
To assuage your sense of disappointment, I assembled the bucks to buy an old 18o0S Volvo from an FBI agent who had it looking pretty good but, unbeknownst to a youth who valued appearances above all else, thoroughly worn out. After many repairs, the last of which was replacing the radiator after the fan came loose and blew a hole in it, I sold it cheap.
Not every sweet-looking thing is as sweet as it appears.
From the proud owner of a 1999 Toyota 4Runner with appropriate age marks and parent of 4 who is pleased to inform you the 6 grandkids are more than worth it.

AORA, a developer of applied ultra-high temperature concentrating solar power (CSP) technology, announced on June 1 that it will launch on June 24 the world's first gas turbine solar thermal power station at Kibbutz Samar in southern Israel.
AORA's Samar power station consists of a field of 30 tracking mirrors (heliostats) situated on half an acre of land. The power module is expected to supply 100 kW of power to the national grid, enough to sustain approximately 70 households.
"The launch of our solar power system ushers in a new and exciting generation of solar technology," said Haim Fried, AORA's chief executive officer. "Not only can our modular systems be scaled and customized for a variety of environments and individual needs, but the fact that we are using a hybrid system means that our customers can produce clean energy and heat 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
The company's hybrid approach allows the system to run on solar radiation input, as well as almost any alternative fuel, including biogas, biodiesel, and natural gas.
Each of the Samar station's 30 heliostats track the sun and reflect its rays toward the top of a 30 meter-high tower housing a special solar receiver along with a 100kw gas turbine. The patented receiver uses the sun's energy to heat air to a temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius and directs this energy into the turbine. The turbine in turn converts the thermal energy into electric power that will be fed directly into the national grid.

Used in calculating lease and loan payments, ALG, A TrueCar Company, has been the industry benchmark for providing residual value – how well a vehicle is predicted to hold its value – to automakers and financial institutions in the US and Canada for nearly 50 years.
Just last week, ALG announced its 14th Annual Residual Awards at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda and Acura ranked highest, Toyota's family of brands took home nine awards, and Hyundai netted three awards, landing second among mainstream brands. The infographic above identifies the top five brands based on resale value. The chart below shares the top three-ranked brands in each vehicle segment, but you can read the entire report at ALG.com. (This infographic is provided on an "as-is" basis without any guarantees, and should be used for informational purposes only. There are no representations or warranties with respect to the residual value information, or the results from use of such information.)
"Residual value is a complete indicator of vehicle value, taking into account quality, durability and brand desirability," said Larry Dominique, President of ALG. "The Residual Value Awards measure the most important brand performance metric – the statement consumers make with their wallets when they purchase a vehicle."
|Brand Awards
ALG's Residual Value Awards honor the vehicles in each segment that are forecast to retain the highest percentage of MSRP after a three-year period. Award recipients were chosen after a careful evaluation of vehicle criteria, including segment competition, historical vehicle performance and industry trends. This year's awards are based on 2013 model year vehicles.

George Soros is an 86-year old Hungarian multi-billionaire. Somewhat like the "Goldfinger" character in the A.D. 1964 James Bond movie, Soros is determined to destroy The United States of America. Soros strikes me an an ugly and wicked old man. I've wondered for years why some "lone gunman" hasn't whacked him.
Here's an extraordinary video of a Soros interview where we can see that he's become so feeble, shaky and almost incoherent that he's likely to die or become completely incapacitated even before crooked Hillary. I can't say I'm displeased.
In any case, Soros has apparently lost his capacity for discretion and therefore made some extraordinary admissions during his interview.
For example, he said:
• "We have discovered the Achilles heel of western civilization."
Why would Soros gloat over that discovery if he didn't intend to destroy "western civilization"? Of what use could an "Achilles Heel" be if not as a means to destroy an adversary?
What is the "western civilization" that Soros seeks to destroy?
At it's foundation, "western civilization" is Christendom. It's a civilization, culture and system of values that's fundamentally based on the Christian faith. Soros is apparently at war with Christianity and the Christ.

Women Business Owners – How to Win your Share of Government Business
Women Business Owners – How to Win your Share of Government Business
The U.S. federal government buys nearly $100 billion worth of goods and services from small businesses each year. However, for many women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) competing in this lucrative market has been tricky. In fact, in recent years, WOSBs received only four percent of the $400+ billion in government contracts awarded to small businesses.
In an effort to address this shortfall and create a more level contracting playing field for WOSBs, the SBA implemented a women's contracting program to allow contracting officers to set aside contracts for WOSBs and give them a better shot at reaching the goals.
So what is the WOSB Program and how can you take advantage of it? Here's what you need to know and the steps you need to take to get your business certified to participate!
What is the WOSB Program?
The Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program provides equal access to federal contracting opportunities for WOSBs and economically disadvantaged WOSBs. The program allows contracting officers to set aside specific contracts (those less than $6.5 million in the case of manufacturing contracts and less than $4 million in the case of all other contracts) to these groups.
Program Eligibility
To be eligible for these set-aside contracts, WOSBs must meet the following criteria:
- Be a small business that is at least 51 percent owned and controlled by one or more women who are U.S. citizens.
- A woman must manage the day-to-day operations, make long-term decisions for the business, hold the highest officer position in the business and work at the business full-time during normal working hours.
To be an eligible economically-disadvantaged WOSB, a company must:
- Be a WOSB that is at least 51 percent owned by one or more women who are "economically disadvantaged" (personal net worth of less than $750,000, adjusted gross income of less than $350,000, and the fair market value of her assets is less than $6 million).
- An economically disadvantaged woman must also manage the day-to-day operations, make long-term decisions for the business, hold the highest officer position in the business and work at the business full-time during normal working hours.
How to Participate in the Program
If you meet the eligibility requirements above, you'll then need to either self-certify or obtain third-party certification (read more about the certification process here).
To ensure you can compete for these WOSB set-aside contracts as soon as possible, be certain to review all the program requirements on the SBA website and ensure your required documents are uploaded to the WOSB Program Repository. WOSBs also will need to update their status in the System for Award Management (SAM) to indicate to contracting officers that they are eligible to participate.
Take Advantage of Free Training
If you are new to government contracting, or this all sounds like gobbledygook, help is at hand.
SBA offers a number of training and outreach activities to help WOSBs understand the program, including:
- Online Training: Government Contracting 101 – These free online courses explain the basics about doing business with the federal government. Take a look at Part 1 and Part 2 for information about the WOSB Program, too.
- In-Person Training/Assistance – Contact your local SBA Office for specific training about the WOSB Program at a location near you. SBA's Women's Business Centers, located nationwide, can also advise on the program.
- Online Handbook – SBA has also put together this easy-to-read handbook (PDF) for small businesses interested in learning about the WOSB Program, including eligibility requirements, federal contracting opportunities and how the program works in general.
Additional Resources
Winning a government contract "…can provide women-owned small businesses with the oxygen they need to take their business to the next level," explained former SBA Administrator, Karen Mills, when she announced the WOSB Program in 2011.

I have a decent sized group that comes out and plays Thursday nights at La Sierra University. Most of the time we do round robin singles but if the courts are full we'll do doubles but try to get some singles sets in. Few of the guys that come out regularly play on the local 4.5 teams as do I. Let me know if you can make it out. Some of the guys are from Corona as well.
A lot of them do play through out the week. A decent amount of them travel to play here. Some from Moreno Valley, Perris, Colton, Loma Linda, so you'll just have to meet them and possibly schedule a time to hit. Sometimes I play Tues & Wed nights as well, but its Thurs nights that are almost a for sure go...unless something comes up.
Some of the Corona players that come out do hit during the week. They mainly play at Mountain Gate Park. Maybe you can check that place as well.
I send out a mass text to to let everyone know and to gauge who's coming. Send me a text at (951)575-8773 and I can include you. If you come out great, if not now worries.
I live in So. Corona and have played at El Cerrito Park.
I'm trying to get back as well. I'm no where near match ready, but if you are interested in hitting some balls - that I can manage.
My time is pretty flexible - early mornings, evenings, and weekends.
Let me know.
I'll text you and perhaps we can arrange for something this Wed.
My number is 707-292-4504.
Hi Ricardo
I'll definitely be interested in hitting some rally balls - not ready for anything competitive.
I've never played at night at El Cerrito- but think El Cerrito has lights?
Hey Guys,
I am mid level 4.5 player from Austin Texas, and I am coming to CA on 07/03 for a 10 day trip. I will be staying in Corona and looking to play a couple of practice singles matches while I am there.
Please let me know if anyone is interested in hitting.
I am available to play weekends. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
