text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 260444 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Topeka KS 1144 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 ...AVIATION UPDATE... .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday) Issued at 321 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 Rain has all but come to an end across the forecast area this afternoon although embedded short wave/MCV remains over east central KS and seems to be slowly pushing east and southeast. This final area of vertical motion is rather weak, but could support a few more showers mainly south of Abilene to Ottawa but only a slight chance. Drier air and high pressure are present over northern KS and southern Nebraska, but with cloud cover and minimal advection across much of the forecast area, dewpoints remain fairly high while dewpoint depressions are rather small. With the expectation that some of these clouds will clear out tonight, see some potential for fog but have not gotten too aggressive with it in the forecast at this point. The most likely areas for fog development would be those areas that received appreciable rain in the past 24 hours but will also clear out and also have the higher initial dewpoints. This focused area currently seems to be in the general Concordia/Manhattan/Abilene/Council Grove region, but again this is not a slam dunk for fog development and will want to monitor potential this evening. Do not expect precipitation tonight or tomorrow with relatively dry air and no appreciable lifting mechanism so have reduced pops to near 0 for much of the period. Lows tonight look to hold in the middle to upper 60s with some dependence upon cloud cover and/or fog while highs tomorrow should climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday) Issued at 321 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 Tomorrow night surface high pressure will be centered over the Great Lakes region. The overall flow over this surface high is rather weak. Although the models are showing hints of some isentropic lift in the 310-315K surfaces over southeast KS. Moisture is also limited in these layers, but have kept slight chances in those areas. This lift could continue over eastern KS into the late morning, but most locations should remain dry. On Wednesday night a shortwave trough will dive southeastward over the northern plains within the northwest flow aloft. This wave could support a thunderstorm complex that develops in SD or NE that moves towards the forecast area. The low level jet is not forecasted to be strong overnight therefore the complex might not reach northern KS before falling apart. There may be some left over showers and or redevelopment as the wave passes over IA during the day Thursday. Thursday night another wave may track over western NE and support a storm complex that again moves southeastward overnight. Also, there may be some isentropic lift that stretches across central KS. A few isolated to scattered storms may be possible out ahead of the complex. This wave may be strong enough to allow this complex to continue through the area during the day Friday. The weekend is looking mostly dry as of now. Especially with the upper ridge beginning to build back over the region. Temperatures are forecasted to be slight below normal until early next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday) Issued at 1144 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 Confidence in ground fog hasn`t gotten any stronger, manly due to the mid level clouds hanging around and cirrus spreading in from the west. Although some guidance continues to show the chance for some MVFR VSBY. So will keep the prev forecast going. VFR conditions should prevail by mid morning and into the evening Tuesday with no obvious forcing and surface ridging over the area. && .TOP Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Barjenbruch LONG TERM...Sanders AVIATION...Wolters

The Green function theory is used to study theoretically the magnetic reorientation phase transition (MRPT) in a two-sublattice ferrimagnetic monolayer, with spin SA and SB at the sublattice A and B sites, respectively. The result is that MRPT in the sublattices A and B occurs at different reorientation temperatures. We can assume that presented model confirms the possibility of two magnetic phases in ferrimagnetic systems.

Engage anytime, anywhere with employees, customers and citizens
IBM enterprise social software provides business collaboration capabilities including communities, profiles, file-sharing, blogs, wikis, bookmarks, content management, IM, online meetings, audio and video chat, email, calendaring and more. Delivered on cloud, on premises or as a hybrid, it integrates with what you have today—and will have tomorrow.
Enterprise social software – IBM Connections versus Microsoft, Jive Software and Salesforce.com
|Social software
|File Sync
|Mobile App Development
IBM Connections
Jive Software
Microsoft versus IBM Connections
Copycat product strategy: Microsoft's social strategy is confusing as it keeps shifting from SharePoint to Yammer to Office 365 without a proper roadmap. Microsoft is trying to bundle Yammer into existing offerings rather than tightly integrating from the ground up and calling it social.
IBM Connections
Innovation-driven product strategy: IBM believes Social Business is a journey, not a product or destination. With more than five years of undisputed social software leadership, IBM continues to provide innovative capabilities that are integrated, secure, scalable and customizable for your business needs, while also laying the foundation for effective employee and customer engagement.
Document-centric: Doesn't "get" social. SharePoint is still document- centric, playing catchup and integration bingo with their Yammer acquisition.
People-centric: IBM is the leading provider of social software that helps you create a people-centered business that takes your business to the next level.
Social network "lite": Yammer misses key capabilities that organizations need in their enterprise social networks. Yammer does not offer enterprise users the ability to do customization based on their operational needs. Microsoft takes on "one size fits all" approach for social and leaves customers with private cloud or on premises requirements out in the cold.
Comprehensive enterprise social solution: IBM Connections uses as single interface that offers rich business collaboration capabilities including communities, profiles, file-sharing, blogs, wikis, bookmarks, content management, IM, online meetings, audio and video chat, email, calendaring and more. Delivered on cloud, on premises or as a hybrid.
Migration: IBM offers targeted services offering to migrate customers onto an IBM social software platform. IBM brings deployment experience, solution assets and capabilities together to provide a fully-managed solution for customers coming from Jive, SharePoint or other solutions. Through this service, users can migrate to IBM Connections within a span of one to eight weeks, depending on requirements.
Migration: States incorrectly that Domino application can easily migrate to SharePoint but does not disclose the hidden challenges like high migration costs and functionality gaps. Thousands of customers have returned to IBM for this reason.
Jive Software versus IBM Connections
Jive Software
Uncertain future: Jive customer base has been steadily declining increasing its losses every year. It is a potential acquisition target which makes the company's future and roadmap uncertain.
IBM Connections
Leadership: IBM continues to invest and innovate in building social business capabilities. With a clear roadmap for integrated, secure, scalable and customizable social solutions IBM offers the complete spectrum of social capabilities required to deliver effective employee and customer engagement.
Expensive: Heavy customization is required to meet specific business needs, increasing complexity and the total cost of ownership of Jive.
Value: IBM offers a highly customizable and secure platform for social business, allowing users to use and retain existing IT investments .
Fragmented web experience: Jive lacks the digital experience capabilities like a Web Content Management System (WCMS), making it difficult to deliver consistent Omni-channel experiences across browsers and devices.
Customer engagement: Only IBM provides a personalized end-user experience by fully integrating portal features such as security, web content management, applications and simple navigation with social networking, social communities and unified communications.
End-of-life support: Jive support for discontinued products is only for two years.
End-of-life support: IBM offers four years end-of-life support, giving customers far more time to evaluate new products and build an effective upgrade plan. IBM has proved to be a good partner with its customers in achieving their success .
Salesforce.com Chatter versus IBM Connections
Salesforce.com Chatter
Lack of transparency: Provides little transparency on how each of its core service offerings perform. Users are hazy about Salesforece.com vision for Chatter to trust and invest.
IBM Connections
Trusted globally: IBM provides detailed business performance and product roadmap for social software. Leading organizations, including 75 percent of the Fortune 100, are transforming how they connect, collaborate and get work done using IBM enterprise social software.
Unreliable: Salesforce.com customers are frequently impacted by data center outages that disrupt their business process.
Cloud always: IBM Cloud Managed Services offers unique instance-level VM uptime SLAs of 99.95%. Users can choose from multiple options such as dedicated servers, storage and flexible scaling.
CRM and document-centric: Lacks true web content management tools or process to provide basic personalization capabilities and collaboration features within the document. Core competencies are largely in CRM and document management solutions.
People-centric: IBM's social business strategy is to empower users with social networks so that they can engage with experts and clients and cultivate trusting relationships through people-centric experiences. IBM social capabilities seamlessly integrate with Salesforce and other CRM platforms to deliver much required social edge to drive customer relationships.
Analytics: Lack of advanced analytics and data integration limits the ability to make critical business decisions.
Analytics: Analytics is core to the IBM social software, allowing users to gain actionable insight on social networking sentiment anytime, anywhere and put it to work in real time.

DURHAM, N.H. – In 2012, nearly 14 percent of all American households relied on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- the program formerly known as food stamps, according to new research from the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire. The new research is presented in the Carsey Institute brief "SNAP Use Increased Slightly In 2012."
The key findings are as follows:
"Any cuts to program funding should consider the vulnerable populations that have increasingly relied upon these benefits in a tenuous economy where the social safety net is already frail," said Jessica Carson, vulnerable families research scientist at the Carsey Institute who conducted the research.
The complete Carsey Institute report about this research is available a thttp://carseyinstitute.unh.edu/publication/924.
This analysis is based on U.S. Census Bureau estimates from the 2007 to 2012 American Community Survey, using information aggregated from detailed tables available on American FactFinder.
The Carsey Institute conducts policy research on vulnerable children, youth, and families and on sustainable community development. The institute gives policy makers and practitioners the timely, independent resources they need to effect change in their communities. For more information about the Carsey Institute, go to www.carseyinstitute.unh.edu.
The University of New Hampshire, founded in 1866, is a world-class public research university with the feel of a New England liberal arts college. A land, sea, and space-grant university, UNH is the state's flagship public institution, enrolling 12,300 undergraduate and 2,200 graduate students.

Operator: Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the First Quarter 2013 Alcoa Earnings Conference Call. My name is Cilia, and I will be your operator for today. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. As a reminder, this call is being recorded for replay purposes.
At this time now, I'd like to turn the call over to Kelly Pasterick, Director of Investor Relations. Please proceed.
Kelly Pasterick - Director, IR: Thank you, Cilia. Good afternoon and welcome to Alcoa's first quarter 2013 earnings conference call. I'm joined by Klaus Kleinfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive officer and William Oplinger, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. After comments by Klaus and William, we will take your questions.
Before we begin, I would like to remind you that today's discussion will contain forward-looking statements relating to future events and expectations. You can find factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from these projections listed in today's press release and presentation and in our most recent SEC filings.
In addition, we have included some non-GAAP financial measures in our discussion. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in today's press release, in the appendix to today's presentation, and on our website at www.alcoa.com under the Invest section.
Any reference in our discussion today to EBITDA means adjusted EBITDA for which we have provided calculations and reconciliations in the appendix.
With that, I'd like to hand it over to Mr. Klaus Kleinfeld.
Klaus Kleinfeld - Chairman and CEO: Thank very much, Kelly. Good afternoon to everybody. Before we go through all the details, let me give you a summary on how I see this quarter. I think it's been a great start into the year; we are delivering a strong number of results here. All segments are profitable. Net income is the best net income since the third quarter of '11; EBITDA 16% up sequentially, 11% year-over-year; record profitability on the downstream, 20.9% EBIT margin to be precise. We have improved performance also on the upstream side, despite year-on-year lower metal prices. Strong liquidity, $1.6 billion cash on hand and a solid global end market growth and we're reaffirming our aluminum demand growth of 7% for 2013.
So with that, let me hand over to Bill Oplinger, our new CFO. Bill, welcome.
William F. Oplinger - EVP and CFO: Thanks Klaus. As Klaus just highlighted, we had a very strong first quarter. I'll start the financial review with a quick summary of the income statement. As you can see, revenue of $5.8 billion was down slightly on a sequential quarter basis based on two fewer production days in 1Q versus 4Q. Compared to last year, revenues are down 3% on lower LME prices, which were down 8% and the impact of primary production curtailments in Europe. However, due to strong productivity, which you will see more details on later, cost of goods sold percentage actually improved sequentially by 110 basis points, and overhead costs were also down sequentially from the highs we saw in 4Q '12.

I've got an application that is going to be deployed as a kiosk, and just came across this problem:
Logging into Facebook requires a Facebook Login window to appear. If the user accidentally hits outside that window, he/she will return to the application without having logged into Facebook, which will basically time out the application.
I've tried to fix this by telling the window that houses my application to blur whenever it receives focus once the Facebook login window has opened.
The code I currently have to control this is as follows:
function initBlurring() {
if( window.self ) {
window.self.onfocus = function(e){
} else {
console.log( "IT did not work..." );
Any ideas on how to make this work would be much appreciated. If it's possible to use jQuery that's great too. AFAIK neither Opera nor Chrome recognize the blur() method on the window object, so it's likely that the kiosk will use Firefox.

5" oak inconsistent but beautiful
By Tree
from Boston MA
It was almost like there were a lot of seconds mixed in. Widths inconsistent, which make for gaps which had to be tediously worked out. We got 3.5 and 5 inch flooring - the 3.5 was all very consistent and went in fast. The 5 inch took way longer to install because of all the width imperfections. It's pretty flooring, I'll say that.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

5"x3/4 red oak
By Nelson
from Phoenix, AZ
While the finish and overall wood quality is excellent, the dimensional quality is poor to unacceptable. Widths vary but as much as 1/8" and the t&g is not consistant. I now wish I had made a different choice.
The new floor looks
By Tim
from Clayton CA
The floor looks great and makes the house look "more open". Great color choice with a very high quality of shine and luster to the finish. I would recommend the same floor to all who have an interest in installing it.

A beautiful floor
By E
from Windsor, CT
The floor came out beatiful, but there were many flawed pieced (small holes, crushed corners, etc.). My contractor worked hard to cut the bad spots and then use the pieces on the end so there was enough to finish the job.

would definitely buy this product again
By susieb
from Cheshire, CT
We originally bought this floor 8 years ago for our kitchen and family room. We recently added on and had to extend the floor in the FR and weave in the flooring where we removed a closet. The floor has held up so well that you couldn't tell the difference. It matched up beautifully. The fact that the wood is prefinished is a big advantage, as there is no wait time for sanding/ drying time. As a side note, the gentleman who helped me load it in my car was courtesy and professional.
Easy to install, looks great

I really enjoyed Thursday's bFM interview with Simon Pound, and our off-air discussion about the state of NZ blogging.
I visited Simon's sadly now-moribund blog to see what he had been contributing to the blogosphere, and I'd encourage 'Not PC' readers to avoid grief in Grey Lynn and check out Simon's two helpful guides How to become a pariah in Grey-Lynn, and Rules to Avoid Banishment From Grey-Lynn: No 2.
I do hope he adds numbers three and four soon; it's a series that has real potential. But I fear having a libertarian on his show might see him facing permanent expulsion from the ranks of Grey Lynn's finest. Imagine life without the Malt Bar!

"I don't need the f**king money, but I think it's a shame that songs like Champagne Supernova, Rock and Roll Star, The Importance of Being Idle and The Shock of the Lightning will never be played again. In a stadium. That kind of fills me with sadness." Some things about the Oasis split make Noel Gallagher sad.

Miles Davis QuintetLive in Europe 1969
The Bootleg Series Vol. 2Sony—Legacy Records, $49.98
When it comes to musical rediscovery, this is nothing less than a golden age. Consider the treasures unearthed in the past few years alone. Pop fans have been rewarded with the release of the Beach Boys' legendary, unreleased Smile project of 1966–67; country fans have precious, previously unheard Hank Williams tracksto sift through; and devotees of Barbra Streisand are enjoying a wealth of once-sequestered gems. The list goes on, spanning genres, with little slowdown in sight. The rule seems to be that if any significant music was ever recorded in the studio or in live performance—and obviously far more than we ever imagined has been—it will eventually be released for general consumption.
Case in point: Once, not a single officially released note existed from the mythic ensemble that Miles Davis led through the bulk of 1969, a fertile period that found the famed trumpeter and bandleader radically sculpturing jazz to his own image. But with the arrival of Miles Davis Quintet: Live...
Steve Futterman has written about jazz for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Rolling Stone and for the past two decades has contributed the weekly "Jazz and Standards" listings for the New Yorker.

Welcome to the Unwind wiki!
Your task involves several parts. Read the site entirely and post in Google Docs what you think you will have to do. Label your entry - "On my own" and "As a group". Discuss this after you have posted your entry so that each member shares a his/her idea of the task. Ask any questions of me that you have, but do not ask questions that are obviously the result of failure to read the task closely. Other discussions, reflections, and group essays will be posted on your special space on Google docs.
About Unwind by Neil Shusterman
Get the hype! View these fan-made trailers:
SUMMARY: In the not-too-distant future, teens Connor, Risa, and Lev are on the run for
their lives. Following the Second Civil War, between pro-choice and pro-life
forces, the United States now allows parents to unwind their unwanted and
difficult kids between the ages of thirteen and eighteen: their bodies are
surgically taken apart and all the organs and tissue are used in other people.
According to the law, the kids aren't considered dead, they're "living in a
divided state." But Connor, Risa and Lev, and thousands of other teens
slated for "unwinding," don't see it that way. They choose instead to "kick
AWOL," or run away.
Before you read, on Google docs: Do some research when applicable and post your findings about each of the following that is edited by the group and signed by each group member:
1. In this country, who helped slaves escape before they were free and how did this system work? What were the risks?
2. In Nazi Germany, who helped Jews escape and what were the risks? Look up Oskar Schlindler, Raoul Wallenberg, and Chiune Sugihara and discuss their contributions. Would you ever take the chances they did? Support your answer.
3. The novel takes place after the "Second Civil War." The real Civil War was
fought, primarily, over the issue of slavery. Learn about recent civil wars in
other countries, such as Rwanda and Sudan. What issues have they been fought over?
4. In your group, discuss the idea of a Second Civil War in this country, and what it might be fought over. Do you think it could happen here?
As a group: Talk about the following. Come to an agreement about your opinion of the statements. Copy and paste the table below into Google docs. Write "agree" or "disagree" in the Before Reading boxes. You must be able to support your opinions orally when asked. Sign your names.

Week 3:
On p. 120, at the beginning of Part Three, there is a quote taken from a BBC investigation into the theft and deaths of babies in the maternity ward. The following site goes a bit farther into the "mystery": http://journalchretien.net/6620-death-for-dollars-ukrainian Read the article, then read the following article http://usliberals.about.com/od/stemcellresearch/i/StemCell1_2.htm Supposedly, the stem cells are harvested and sent to a clinic in Barbados that purports to use them to make folks feel and look better. How do you think stem cell harvesting can be accomplished ethically, or should it be accomplished? Where do you stand on this moral problem?
Week 4:
In Unwind, the Second Civil War was fought between pro-life and pro-choice forces. Where does your group stand on the issue of abortion? What is the reasoning behind your opinion(s)? Reread the first page of the book, entitled "The Bill of Life". Look up the fourteenth amendment to our constitution. This amendment has been used as the basis for pro-abortion "forces" in our country. How is it used to support their claim? There are quite a few sites in which people discuss whether this is a pro-life or pro-choice book. What do you think?
Week 5:
Imagine your reaction if you were the recipient of donated organs from unwound teens. How would you feel? What about if someone in your family was about to receive organs from unwound teens? Would you feel differently? What if our own society put into effect a law in which criminals would be unwound. Would you feel differently about the practice of unwinding?
Week 6:
Imagine you were the recipient of many of the body parts of the teen characters. Which parts of each character would you choose? Explain the reasons for your choices.
Individually: Risa's band plays "Don't Fear the Reaper" among other songs for the teens who are going to be unwound, the "song of the damned." Put together a set list of songs your band would play if you were performing at a Harvest Camp and burn a CD of 15 second clips of the songs. Explain your choices on the inside jacket. Create art and a title for the outside of the album.
With your group: Design a poster than supports unwinding. Design a poster that condemns unwinding. You may use collaging techniques from magazines or any other art medium available in the room. For some help, go to:
http://www.schooleymitchell.com/english/charity/och_common_questions2.php?id=1 This website asks the question, "What are my religion's viewpoints on organ donation? These viewpoints could be used to support the Bill of Life!
With your group: Revisit the anticipation guide that you filled out during prereading activities and fill it out. Be prepared to answer questions about it orally.
Individual reflection: 500 word minimum. 12 point, Times New-Roman
What are your own ideas about harvesting organs, euthanasia (look it up), and abortion? Has this book changed how you previously felt about these issues?
Reread Chapter 27 - What are your personal beliefs about the soul? Do you disagree with any of the characters?
Which character do you think you are most similar to in the story; think in terms of the character's fight for survival and personal beliefs? Explain.
Did you like this book? Why or why not?


text: The system by which patent "trolls" force payments out of developers is a lot like extortion, writes Application Developers Alliance President Jon Potter. "App developers and entrepreneurs, the very people whom the patent system should protect, now consider software patents as inhibiting -- rather than promoting -- innovation," Potter notes. The Patent and Trademark Office should insist upon "plain language" applications for software patents, with specific information on how to build the technology. Otherwise, they're allowing patent-holding companies to patent ideas -- not real inventions.

They are all Google-able. I just tried since I live in a different part of the country and have no intention of entering. I got four of them without Google, though. I knew that BA in English Literature would be good for something someday!
I found them all quickly enough. Which one is supposed to be the hard one? The Russian?
i'll admit it-i'm a poetry fan, and i regularly read slog.
but really, not everything is googleable. in fact, the amount of non-googleable content is estimated to be several times larger than the amount of content that is.
Kathleen brings up the interesting but easily forgotten point that not everything is googleable simply because it's not online at all.
Me, I was just impressed that The The and The Band are both googleable, which surprised me.
Oh, sure. You can go out and use "The Google" to find the answers to the contest. And we at the store won't know. But, you'll know.
That's right. You'll know you cheated.
And it will eat at you for the rest of your life. Seriously.
But go ahead. Cheat. Be a big cheater.
While you're at it, use Scrabble Word Finder when you play with your school chums. Go ahead. Be a part of the breakdown of society.
Oh, just use the Wayback Machine.
You don't know what the Wayback Machine is, do you, Will?
@ The Shelver,
I said I googled the answers. I never said I planned on entering the contest. As I suspect is the case with many sloggers.
I like poetry. And I like design review updates. Thanks.
Dear God in Heaven....
WHY did they put an apostrophe in the word "silhouette's"!?!?!?!?

Discrete time hedging with liquidity risk
We study a discrete time hedging and pricing problem in a market with liquidity costs. Using Leland's discrete time replication scheme [Leland, H.E., 1985. Journal of Finance, 1283–1301], we consider a discrete time version of the Black–Scholes model and a delta hedging strategy. We derive a partial differential equation for the option price in the presence of liquidity costs and develop a modified option hedging strategy which depends on the size of the parameter for liquidity risk. We also discuss an analytic method of solving the pricing equation using a series solution.

Welcome to the ABC Action News "Taking Action Against Domestic Violence" campaign!
Now in its 7th year, the awareness campaign is built around the FL DV Hotline, 1-800-500-1119, and the state certified domestic violence centers serving the Tampa Bay area. ABC Action News works with directly with the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence in our state capitol to create awareness of the DV hotline and all 10 local DV centers - see links to the right.
The "Taking Action Against Domestic Violence" campaign is a year-round commitment that extends across all media platforms of ABC Action News. We produce special reports, public service announcements, and a 1-hour, commercial free special that airs in October – National DV Awareness Month.
This webpage is designed to serve as a resource for you, with links to local DV centers, the warning signs of domestic violence, a guide to "safety planning", videos, and our annual 1-Hour Special! Also on this webpage, you'll find the "Wheel of Power and Control" which illustrates the different aspects of dating violence/domestic violence and the "Wheel of Equality" which, conversely, illustrates what a healthy relationship is. Domestic violence experts and counselors use both of these "wheels" to help victims of domestic violence or worried loved ones.
This year's series of special reports from survivors is titled "Your Story Matters" and you can watch each of them here or watch the 2015 Taking Action Against Domestic Violence 1-Hour Special, which first aired on the evening of October 22, 2015.
Our thanks to our sponsors at the Allstate Foundation and our partners at Deana's Educational Theater. And special thanks to our community partners here at home!

New in 2015, we partnered with Deana's Educational Theater, Heartland for Children, the University of South Florida and Florida Southern College to host 4 special presentations of The Yellow Dress stage play.
Deana's Educational Theater, based in the New England area, works with a select group of non-profit organizations nationwide for limited presentations of The Yellow Dress. In Florida, they work exclusively with the non-profit Heartland for Children, serving Polk, Hardee and Highlands counties.
October 8 – 11, 2015 we presented the dramatic, one woman stage play on dating violence to audiences in Sarasota, Tampa, Lakeland and St. Petersburg. These free community events, open to the general public, gave women, men and teenagers the opportunity to see the award winning play and meet directly with experts from local domestic violence centers. Advocates were able to help victims and worried loved ones who reached out to them in private.

I need to protect the project files in the local server . It should be accessable for all . Employees can access and modifiy it and they can create new files . The thing which i want to do is protecting the files copying by the employess. These project files are shared in the local network. I have almost done everything but i couldnt get the exact solution.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Feb 28 '14 at 14:27
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
This is not possible. If they can access the files, they can copy the files. After all, accessing the files is a form of copying; you are copying the files into RAM.
Chris is right, you can't do this using only the native tools.
If you're willing to consider 3rd party tools, our product FileSure does a pretty good job at this. We do it by preventing the users from 'Misusing' the files in the first place.
For example, if you block Windows Explorer the ability to READ a file, you'll stop 95% of users copying files. Or you could take the other side and prevent '*.xlsx' (for example) from being created on Workstations.
I hope that's helpful and not too much of a product plug.

I signed up for a web host so I could use wordpress.org, and bought a wordpress template through an external website.
I assumed I would be able to change the photos, headings, etc. on the template as easily as I did when I was using wordpress.com to host my blog.
Apparently not.
I don't know anything about coding or programming but can follow instructions fairly easily. So if you can tell me how to change these things that would be great. (If it requires someone with advanced knowledge of wordpress coding please let me know that too.)

Papa Roach: Off the wagon
Papa Roach's got a brand new bag
By Newt Briggs
When 24-year-old Tobin Esperance first saw Papa Roach, he didn't hold out a lot of hope for the fledgling four-piece, which consisted of a singer, a bass player, a drummer and a trombone player.
"I walked into this café and they were covering [Jimi Hendrix's] `Fire' without a guitarist," Esperance says. "I was like, `This band fucking sucks.'"
Little did he know that less than a decade later they'd be trashing hotel rooms and making out with groupies on the set of Total Request Live. Lead singer Coby Dick--now, Jacoby Shaddix--jettisoned the one-man horn section, recruited straight-edge guitarist and death-metal aficionado Jerry Horton and snagged Esperance after the band's founding bassist "had to go to church camp or something like that." They were typical teenagers jamming in a typical garage in a somewhat atypical small town--Vacaville, Calif., the so-called "onion capital of the world."
"It used to smell like onions way back in the day, but it doesn't anymore," says Esperance, who was 15 when he started playing with Papa Roach. "Now it's the P-Roach capital of the world. That's usually how it is. So many bands try to act like they're from L.A. or New York or some other place. Bullshit, you came from Indiana or some shit."
Vacaville may be in the sticks, but it's also sandwiched between two musical hothouses, San Francisco and Sacramento. For the next five years, Papa Roach shuttled between the two, occasionally detouring down to L.A. and finally landing a deal with Dreamworks Records in 1999. The band's first major-label album, Infest, peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 and sold more than 3 million copies on the strength of the frat-boy singalong "Last Resort"--a rap-rock hybrid cut from the same testosterone-soaked cloth as Sevendust's "Denial" and P.O.D.'s "Satellite."
"We weren't like those 30-year-old dudes who try to jump on the bandwagon way after the fact," Esperance says. "We just grew up with a love of funky, weird-ass, tweaked-out music." Yet it wasn't long before the bandwagon was jam-packed with Crazy Towns and Ademas and Hot Action Cops, and rap-rock had become the punchline in a joke about a buck-toothed farmboy and his sexually adventurous cousin. Papa Roach foresaw the trend and jettisoned all but the faintest traces of hip hop from its 2002 followup Lovehatetragedy and this year's Getting Away with Murder. Although both expanded the band's sonic repertoire, neither sold as well as its multiplatinum debut.
Asked if he minds being classified with other nu-rap-rock-power-metal bands, Esperance groans, "Just don't lump us in with Linkin Park." After a few seconds, he adds, "Whatever, dude. You can lump us in with anybody or anything. We've done it all, man. We've done rock, rap, metal, Warped Tour, Ozzfest, Anger Management--all that shit. Not a lot of other bands can say that."
Nor can a lot of other bands say that one of their biggest singles, "Time and Time Again," was used to shill for a short-lived novelty cola like Pepsi Blue. The ill-fated endorsement deal blew up in both party's faces like a stray pyrotechnic at a Michael Jackson gig; even Esperance calls it "one of the worst mistakes we ever made as a band."
"Oh, fuck no," he says. "I was high, man. I don't even remember that shit. All I know is that they said it wouldn't taste good mixed with vodka, and I was through with it."
