I have written a rather complicated piece of code, here are lines 25-29 of save_location.php:
$address_dom = '<street>'.$_POST["street"].'</street><streetNo>'.$_POST["streetno"].'</streetNo><city>'.$_POST["city"].
$address_element = new SimpleXMLElement($address_dom);
$current_uni->addChild('address', $address_element);
This gives me the following error and warnings:
Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct(): Entity: line 1: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document in ***/save_location.php on line 28

Any ideas? It's a part of my thesis, I am really stuck and nervous cause I still have a lot to do
Kudos on the website, has helped a lot so far
forgot to show you this, it goes before the previous piece of code:
$current_uni = $xml->addChild('Placemark'); // Adding Placemark
Hmm.... Based on the error and odd looking characters it looks like encoding issues in one or more of those $POST variables, i.e. you need to do one of two things -- convert the strings to their proper html entities or wrap each $POST with the CDATA sequence so the parser skips encoding of that text.
Solution 1:
Just pass each $_POST variable to the function, i.e.
$address_dom = '<street>'.XMLEntities($_POST["street"]).'</street>'; // example
See next post with attached source - the forum converts & to its htmlentities using the code/html/php tags or simply pasting as plain text.
Solution 2:
A CDATA section starts with "<![CDATA[" and ends with "]]>"
$address_dom = '<street><![CDATA['.$_POST["street"].']]></street>';
Although personally I like the first solution - it doesn't pass the burden of properly decoding to the receiving end and ends up with cleaner XML. But to each their own.
This is my best guess at this point! If this doesn't help, let me know.
See attached .doc file with source for solution 1.
Hello Jim and thanks for the prompt reply. I'm gonna try it with htmlspecialchars() first, actually the characters are not weird, the data in the xml file is just in Greek and I don't think it would be wise changing them to values like '. I am using UTF-8 encoding and everything is running smoothly for now. I'll let you know how that went.
Actually that did not work at all. I still have a problem. The thing is, I have previously written other lines of code with the same way of parsing the XML data without a problem. I think the problem lies in the point where i want to add a second level of a child element.
My XML file structure consists of "Placemark" elements with this structure:
<Placemark id="1000" status="1" cat="2">
<name>Ανώτατο Τεχνολογικό Εκπαιδευτικό Ινστιτούτο Λάρισας</name>
// STATUS 0 = draft, 1 = OK, 2 = proteinomeno, CAT 1 = AEI, 2 = TEI
<coordinates>39.627672, 22.381532</coordinates>
<links><!-- oi selides twn idrymatwn -->
<newsFeed>http://www.teilar.gr/news.php</newsFeed><!-- Gia mini-newsfeed 5 teleftaiwn enimerwsewn -->
<alumni><!-- eleos, N/A --></alumni>
<itServices><!-- eleos, N/A --></itServices>
<!-- Student stuff, separate funky placement in site -->
As you can see the name element which i parse earlier in the code is in Greek as well and I do not get an error for that. I need to find a different way to add the children elements which have children of their own (Same problem happens with the <links> element.
I'm stuck :/ Do you see something wrong in my original logic of the construction of the (grand)children?
To make it a bit more clear:
I'm making an application that shows Greek Universities on a map
The data is in a XML file with "Placemark" elements, the structure of which I showed before
I am currently writing the code that edits/adds data from a form via a POST request
Here's the full php file which is supposed to save the new data to the XML:
$xml = simplexml_load_file($xmlfile) or die("Αρχείο XML δε βρέθηκε");
$id = $_POST["id"];
foreach ($institutions as $institution) {
if ($institution['id']==$id) {
$current_uni = $xml->addChild('Placemark'); // Adding Placemark
$current_uni->addAttribute('id', $_POST["id"]); // Addding id
//$current_uni->addAttribute('status', $_POST["status"]); // Adding status
$current_uni->addAttribute('cat', $_POST["type"]);
$current_uni->addChild('name', $_POST["name"]);
$coord_element = new SimpleXMLElement('<coordinates>'.$_POST["coordinates"].'</coordinates>');
$current_uni->addChild('Point', $coord_element );
$address_dom = '<street>'.htmlspecialchars($_POST["street"]).'</street><streetNo>'.htmlspecialchars($_POST["streetno"]).'</streetNo><city>'.htmlspecialchars($_POST["city"]).
$address_element = new SimpleXMLElement($address_dom);
$current_uni->addChild('address', $address_element);
$current_uni->addChild('phoneNumber', $_POST["tel"]);
$current_uni->addChild('faxNumber', $_POST["fax"]);
/* Here will be the code writing the <links> child element, I have to figure out how to do the <address> first, then it will be obvious */
$current_uni->addChild('links', $links_element);
Try adding to the top:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-7"?>
Beyond that...
The original warnings/error shows SimpleXMLElement choking on the city and postal code nodes which it apparently thought was a single node. I can only assume you fixed that error since then since the current XML validates as well formed.
It might turn out to be weirdness with SimpleXML or the editor you're using embedding characters the parser isn't expecting. I'd offer more help if your recent code didn't validate!
I already have <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> in the beginning of the XML file (Greek programmers prefer UTF-8, Greek 8859-7 does not work well usually).
I didn't change the XML file, its the original, it validates perfectly, yet it gives the error you saw. I guess now that as other functions, the ones used here do not work well with Greek characters (like the ones which convert to upper case etc), but it was working perfectly with reading so it shouldn't be that. When there is a problem with Greek characters PHP usually changes them to Ararbic, Russian or whatever, but it always inputs or outputs the data.
I still think that it's a logic error
Solved it
What I didn't know was that you could add an empty child. So by adding <address> first and then adding children to <address> fixed everything. I will start a new post with my next problem which is deleting elements.
Thanks a lot, your help was a big part of the solution, it was the characters but it was PHP's fault, not the encoding's

While Teabing, Sophie, and Langdon are in the church, Remy, the butler parks the car in an alley and goes to the back where the monk is. He retrieves a wine opener from the bar. Silas can see what is happening and becomes very fearful. Then, Remy cuts the ropes that bind Silas and pours both of them a glass of vodka. He apologizes for not releasing Silas earlier. Silas is astonished. Remy tells him that he had been hired by the Teacher also. Then he hands Silas a gun and retrieves another pistol from the car's glove box and tells Silas they have unfinished business.

cgbcon.f man page
subroutine cgbcon (NORM, N, KL, KU, AB, LDAB, IPIV, ANORM, RCOND, WORK, RWORK, INFO)
Function/Subroutine Documentation
subroutine cgbcon (character NORM, integer N, integer KL, integer KU, complex, dimension( ldab, * ) AB, integer LDAB, integer, dimension( * ) IPIV, real ANORM, real RCOND, complex, dimension( * ) WORK, real, dimension( * ) RWORK, integer INFO)
CGBCON estimates the reciprocal of the condition number of a complex general band matrix A, in either the 1-norm or the infinity-norm, using the LU factorization computed by CGBTRF. An estimate is obtained for norm(inv(A)), and the reciprocal of the condition number is computed as RCOND = 1 / ( norm(A) * norm(inv(A)) ).
- Parameters:
NORM is CHARACTER*1 Specifies whether the 1-norm condition number or the infinity-norm condition number is required: = '1' or 'O': 1-norm; = 'I': Infinity-norm.
N is INTEGER The order of the matrix A. N >= 0.
KL is INTEGER The number of subdiagonals within the band of A. KL >= 0.
KU is INTEGER The number of superdiagonals within the band of A. KU >= 0.
AB is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDAB,N) Details of the LU factorization of the band matrix A, as computed by CGBTRF. U is stored as an upper triangular band matrix with KL+KU superdiagonals in rows 1 to KL+KU+1, and the multipliers used during the factorization are stored in rows KL+KU+2 to 2*KL+KU+1.
LDAB is INTEGER The leading dimension of the array AB. LDAB >= 2*KL+KU+1.
IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N) The pivot indices; for 1 <= i <= N, row i of the matrix was interchanged with row IPIV(i).
ANORM is REAL If NORM = '1' or 'O', the 1-norm of the original matrix A. If NORM = 'I', the infinity-norm of the original matrix A.
RCOND is REAL The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix A, computed as RCOND = 1/(norm(A) * norm(inv(A))).
WORK is COMPLEX array, dimension (2*N)
RWORK is REAL array, dimension (N)
INFO is INTEGER = 0: successful exit < 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value

As you may know, I started a Boys On The Run program at a local elementary school because it just doesn't seem fair to only have Girls On The Run. Our Spring Season was delayed 3 weeks due to Snowpacolypse. Apparently, the boys have had no exercise at all during this time and have been existing on diets of sugar and caffeine. I'm happy to report that the boys now know how toplay Black Jack, and there was only one injury report filed.

The taste is nice, but the texture abit hard :( I cannot recall back how many I put for the gelatine powder. But I don't know was my mistaken or the recipe printed wrongly. Sigh..... Did anybody bought this book & tried making it before?
Or...... is't the texture should be like that for panna cotta? hahahaa..... who can tell me the answer?
From the actual picture, it is white with sesame seeds... But I kept stirring to prevent it from boiling... so it becomes grey.. hahaha :D
Here goes the recipe :
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tbsps sugar ( reduced )
- 4 tsps gelatin powder
- 4 tbsps ground black sesame
- Mix all ingredients together in a pot. Put on low heat. Bring to a dentle simmer. Cook until the gelatin dissolves.
- Leave the mixture to cool. Divide among small serving glasses. Refrigerate until set. Serve.
** Cook the ingredients over low heat. Keep an eye on it always because it tends to boil & overflow easily **

Canada's aquaculture industry is suffering from legislation envy. It wants its own Aquaculture Act.
Apparently, the existing laws and regulations that govern the industry don't have a central theme or vision and lack consistency and coherency. According to the industry, it is burdened by too many regulations.
The Senate Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans is holding hearings and studying the regulation of aquaculture in Canada. Representatives of the aquaculture industry alliance have appeared before the committee twice. Their message is consistent. The industry is on the cusp of greatness if only it could get out from under all those regulations and get its own Aquaculture Act.
The industry has a knack for portraying the sector as a victim of too many regulations. Yet, like every other food and livestock industry in Canada, it is subject to the same Health Canada and Canadian Food Inspection Agency regulations designed to protect public health.
And, like every other industrial activity that takes place in marine waters, the aquaculture industry has to follow Transport Canada, Environment Canada, and Fisheries and Oceans regulations designed to protect habitat, wild fisheries and species.
Apparently, dealing with these departments and their regulations is a problem for the industry. Having to deal with provincial labour, safety and environmental regulations also sticks in their craw.
It's surprising that no one on the Senate committee has called them out on their claim of over-regulation. Every industrial enterprise in Canada, whether in the agriculture, chemical, food-processing, mining, oil and gas, or forestry sector is, rightly, subject to regulatory scrutiny and control equal to or greater than the aquaculture industry.
The industry been successful in perpetuating the myth of over-regulation because it has bundled in a decade-long stagnation in the industry with a phantom regulatory gridlock. Plus, advocates have blown smoke as to the growth potential in their industry and the need for protein to feed the hungry of the world.
The claims of industry and their key promoter, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, about Canada's aquaculture and its economic, food and job potential nationally and in the world rings hollow once data are examined.
The UN's Food and Agriculture Association 2012 statistics show that Canada's contribution to aquaculture production in the world is 0.003 per cent (no, that is not a typo) and, on average, less than 10 per cent of the protein in people's diet comes from seafood. Vegetable and meat are by far the largest sources (85 per cent) of dietary protein on all continents.
According to Industry Canada statistics, Canada's cookie, cracker and pasta exports, as well as soap, cleaning, and toilet chemical sectors have larger export value than aquaculture products.
Canada is a tiny global player and farmed salmon is a minuscule source of protein supply for the world's population. An Aquaculture Act is not going to change those facts.
What about the aquaculture industry's claim of job-creation benefits? According to DFO and Industry Canada, between 2000 and 2012, aquaculture production in Canada increased 32 per cent, but salary and wages increased only 13 per cent.
This sector has a notoriously poor record for job creation as the drive for increasing profits has led to technological efficiencies that have stripped jobs from the industry.
Norway, the world's leading producer of farmed salmon, raises 10 times the farmed salmon as Canada does, with one-third of the Canadian farmed-salmon workforce.
In its lament over regulatory burdens, the aquaculture industry has been consistently silent on the fact that waste from open-net pen operations is not regulated.
Unlike the pulp and paper industry and sewage plants, which are required to treat their waste, salmon farms release thousands of tonnes of waste each year into coastal waters — untreated and unregulated.
For every 500 tonnes of salmon produced in open-net pens, 100 tonnes of waste is released. In 2012, 108,000 tonnes of farmed salmon were produced. The math is simple. However, the industry is not asking for that deficiency in the regulations to be addressed.
The aquaculture industry doesn't need a special act any more than the pasta or toilet chemical industry need their own act. What is needed is for regulators and politicians to stop fawning over this industry and see beyond its smoke and mirrors.
They need to step up and make the open-net pen industry accountable for the waste they produce by finally introducing legislation that will put controls on one of the largest sources of pollution to coastal waters in Canada.

Everyone is different and those differences make us all unique and interesting. I know that I certainly wouldn't want to live on a planet where everyone was my clone. Well, my daughter, Alyssa, is not my clone, but we have many things in common as well as vast differences. Regardless of what we like/dislike or believe/don't believe, we still enjoy being together and sharing our lives because the bottom line is we love each other. One of the things we both love is Salad Fingers.
Salad Fingers And A Rusty Spoon
When Alyssa and I have opposing ideas, we are usually on opposite ends of the spectrum. Since she is an adventurous girl, I never know what she will come up with next.
One day Alyssa sat down at my computer, brought up a video and said, "Mom, you just HAVE to watch this video."
My first thought was, "Oh boy, I wonder what it will be this time," but I sat down and clicked play to watch Salad Fingers, Episode 1 called "Spoons" by David Firth.
It is only 1:50 minutes long, so click and watch it…
What Did You Just Watch?
Now you may think I have totally lost my mind, but let me tell you what you just watched. Salad Fingers is a cartoon that was created by David Firth, a British cartoonist, in July of 2004. The Salad Fingers creature is a very skinny, light green skin, bald, humanoid hunchback who doesn't have a nose or ears and has long, strange fingers. The Salad Fingers creature speaks with a Northern English accent. Sometimes Salad Fingers gets a raspy asthmatic-like breathing voice which is brought about when he becomes mesmerized with something or experiences extreme pleasure.
The Salad Fingers cartoons are post-apocalyptic psychological horror shows that were extremely popular on the Internet in 2005.
Christian 'Crust' Pickup, David Firth's co-writer, described Firth as having salad fingers when he played the guitar and the name just stuck.
Episode 1 called "The Spoons" is what you just watched. It shows that Salad Fingers has a love of touching rusty spoons and other various rusty objects like a door bell panel and a kettle. At one point he says, "The feeling of rust against my salad fingers is almost orgasmic." Obviously, Salad Fingers has an obsessive love of spoons and rusty metal things.
The great drama in this first episode shows Salad Fingers walking to a house of a very strange young boy to inquire if he has any rusty spoons. This horrible looking child screeches like a pterodactyl two times. When the screeching exchange is over, Salad Fingers leaves the house after having an orgasmic experience by touching a rusty kettle.
That totally makes perfect sense, don't you agree? LOL
The Reaction To Salad Fingers
Years ago, my first reaction to Salad Fingers was about the same as my nieces which was what she posted on Facebook: "Omg what in the hell did I just watch?"
I have to say that when I read Brittany's reaction, I just laughed out loud. My sister's comment, "Very creepy…and bizarre," was less emotional, but still my family was baffled.
Over the years, Alyssa and I have had fun with this silly cartoon guy and his orgasmic rusty spoon experience. I can't tell you how many times I have laughed until my side ached. It has provided more opportunities for Alyssa and I to share happy moments together. I actually gave Alyssa a silver necklace that says, "I'd like to inquire about your spoons," and she loved it!
So if you just want more, more, more of Salad Fingers after watching the first video, there are eight more that can be found on YouTube. Here's a complete list and what they are entitled:
- Episode 1 – Spoons
- Episode 2 – Friends
- Episode 3 – Nettles
- Episode 4 – Cage
- Episode 5 – Picnic
- Episode 6 – Present
- Episode 7 – Shore Leave
- Episode 8 – Cupboard
- Episode 9 – Letter

Session 4: The Impact of Litter on White Rock Lake and the Trinity River WatershedAnnemarie Marek, LEED AP End of added content
The Litter Project is an ongoing effort by the local nonprofit Shared Focus on Urban Environmental Leadership (Shared FUEL, Inc.) to drive awareness of the impact of litter on the Trinity River Watershed and, specifically, White Rock Lake. In the past two years, Shared FUEL, which stands for Shared Focus on Urban Environmental Leadership, has researched and documented human behaviors at White Rock Lake regarding trash, presented an extensive report of its findings to the City of Dallas and sponsored an eye-opening photography exhibit at the Bath House Cultural Center during the centennial celebration of the lake, entitled "Trashing Our Treasure." Shared FUEL's work has been generated by a small group of East Dallas volunteers who believe this information is not only seminal to the sustainable conversation but critical, given Dallas' population growth. In 2012, Shared FUEL seeks to take the exhibit upstream and create a short film to elevate the litter conversation within the region.

crocheting the virus shawl
The virus shawl seems to have taken the crocheting world by storm. It's really easy to pick up, grows really fast and is very addictive. This one took me just under a week to make. I used double knitting wool and it took just over 2 100g balls. It looks grey in the pic, but is actually cornflower blue.

Reporting from Phoenix — Javy Guerra went into Saturday a perfect 10 for 10 in save opportunities. The 25-year-old rookie right-hander had a 1.69 earned-run average.
"He has a calmness to him," Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti said.
But how can you truly measure the inner workings of a reliever who pitches mostly in front of half-empty ballparks in games with little or no postseason implications?
"You can't put the step in front of somebody when it's not available," Colletti said. "But he's gaining enough confidence that if he makes the transition to a bigger stage, a pivotal game, you believe he's prepared to do it."
With Jonathan Broxton injured and headed to free agency this winter, Colletti will have to decide whether to sign a free-agent closer this off-season or to hand the role to Guerra or Kenley Jansen.

Unlike prices charged by private companies, prices regulated utilities charge for their products and services are generally set by a state regulatory agency often referred to as a public utility commission, public service commission, or utility board. Each state regulatory agency usually has three to five commissioners whose responsibility it is to oversee the prices charged by utilities in their state. In Oklahoma, the regulatory agency is the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC), which has three members.
In Oklahoma when a utility wants an increase in its prices, also called rates, the utility must first file an application with the OCC, along with substantial supporting documentation justifying the requested increase. In a nutshell, the application shows the utility's costs and rationale in support of the proposed rate increase, which the utility believes it needs to provide service and earn a reasonable return on investment.
The utility's documentation will include the costs of labor, materials, taxes, and depreciation on plant used to provide and deliver services, as well as the interest for debt issued by the utility to finance construction of that plant. The utility's proposed rates must also allow a reasonable return on investment made by shareholders. When added together, all of these costs produce the revenue requirement that needs to be collected from customers. Establishing the company's overall revenue requirement is normally the first phase in the rate case process.
In the next phase, rates must be designed in a way that will allow the utility the opportunity to recover the established revenue requirement. This involves allocating the overall revenue requirement among the various classes of customers. There can be many varied classes of customers; however, residential, commercial and industrial customers are generally the largest classes of customers. Rates are often designed to encourage conservation of resources or to ensure that prices reflect the specific costs of providing service.
The hearing phase of a rate case may be handled directly by the Commissioners, by an administrative law judge (ALJ) or both. In any case, the process involves witnesses on all sides of the issues filing testimony and being cross examined on their positions. Once all of the evidence is filed and heard, the ALJ will typically file a report with the Commissioners. The Commissioners deliberate in open court and ultimately decide the outcome of the utility's application, including the rates to be paid by customers. Parties to a rate case typically include OCC's Public Utility Division Staff; the Attorney General's office, which primarily represents the interest of residential consumers; commercial and industrial customers or their associations and public interest advocates, such as AARP or community action groups. Private citizens often participate as well.
A rate case takes several months to process from the time a utility makes its initial filling and ultimately concludes with an open meeting at which the Commissioners deliberate and vote on the matter. By statute the Commission should process utility rate cases within 180 days, counting from the day the utility files its application.
The Commission is always interested in public input on these rate cases. Public comment is taken orally at 1:30 p.m. each day that a rate case hearing is held. Check the daily docket for rate case dates. Public comment can also be submitted in writing mailed to: Rate Case Comment, Public Utility Division, P.O. Box 52000, Oklahoma City, OK 73152-2000 or by using OCC's online comment form.

With the increase in the number of people that are consuming vitamins and supplements, the awareness of vitamin toxicity is increasingly vital: toxic amounts of vitamins can prove harmful on one's health, and there are a number of negative symptoms associated with the act of consuming too many vitamins. Just as too few vitamins have adverse health effects, toxic amounts of vitamins can cause an individual to become seriously ill.
- slide 2 of 7
Fat Soluble and Water Soluble
There are two different kinds of vitamin classifications: fat soluble and water soluble vitamins. Fat soluble vitamins are the type of vitamins that can prove hazardous to one's health: toxic amounts of vitamins that are fat soluble are not easily eliminated by the body whereas water soluble vitamins pass from the body with relative ease and minimize the chance of vitamin accumulation in the body. The most dangerous fat soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, and E. Toxic amounts of vitamins like A, D, and E can build up and are stored in one's body fat tissues as well as other regions of the body.
- slide 3 of 7
Vitamin A
More than 100,000 international units (IU) of vitamin A per day is considered a toxic amount. If consumed in vast amounts, vitamin A can lead to a condition known as Hypervitaminosis A. This condition has a number of harmful side effects including liver complications, the reduction of mineral density in the bones, possible birth defects, and issues with the central nervous system. Additionally, the individual that intakes too much vitamin A might suffer from vision difficulties, muscular difficulties, coordination loss, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, and headaches, too.
- slide 4 of 7
How Much Vitamin D is Too Much?
More than 4,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D per day is considered a toxic amount of vitamins. Symptoms associated with vitamin D toxicity include things like a loss of appetite, general weakness and fatigue, weight loss, nausea, and vomiting. Too much vitamin D can also have negative effects on one's heart and, in some people, too much vitamin D can bring on kidney stone formation.
- slide 5 of 7
What is Considered an Excess of Vitamin E?
More than 400 IU of vitamin E per day is considered to be a toxic amount. Too much vitamin E can lead to problems with hemorrhaging and blood clotting. Vitamin E overdoses are also associated with gastrointestinal issues, cramping, headache, nausea, vomiting, exhaustion, and easy bruising. Further, extreme cases of vitamin E toxicity can result in muscular weakness and excessive bleeding, as well as a stroke in chronic cases.
- slide 6 of 7
How to Avoid Issues
In order to make sure that you are getting the correct vitamin intake so that you can avoid toxicity, it is best that you track all of your food intake and that you pay attention to the amounts of vitamins in food as well as in the vitamin supplements you consume. Keep a notebook and write down the vitamins in the foods you consume as well as the amount of vitamins that you consume via a supplement and add them together to get a total vitamin intake count. Following supplement instructions can also help you avoid issues with vitamin toxicity.

From petty lipstick larceny to a hands-off policy with her brows, Oscar winner and face of Lancôme Kate Winslet revealed the secrets behind her scene-stealing looks for InStyle's May issue. Read on for our exclusive interview with the star and click through our gallery to shop the six must-try beauty products she can't live without.
Let's start at the very beginning. What's the earliest encounter with makeup you can recall? Ah, probably stealing my mother's one lipstick that she loved. There was never any money in my family, so if my mom got a new lipstick, the whole house knew, including my brothers.
Can you still picture that stolen tube?I can. It was coral and came from The Body Shop.
Did your mom give you any beauty advice you use to this day? One thing she always said to us girls growing up was, "For God's sake, just please never pluck your eyebrows."
Your arches are pretty great. I'm lucky in that they do make a nice shape naturally. I've had to pluck them here and there for certain characters, but on photo shoots I often ask makeup artists not to touch them. Otherwise, I'm not that particular about them.
What do you tend to zero in on when you need a beauty boost? The anti-aging products that I am always trying out for Lancôme are such a huge bonus, because they keep the skin supple.
And as far as makeup goes, are there any tips you've learned from a decade of red-carpet prep? Don't be heavy-handed and whack it all on at once. Oh, and put mascara on the roots of your lashes with a flat-ended eyeliner brush. It makes the whites of the eyes seem whiter and keeps the lids from appearing too heavy. That's a good one. I can't get enough of that one, actually!

SOURCE: The Clorox Company
July 26, 2011 16:25 ET
OAKLAND, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 26, 2011) - The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) today announced that the company's board of directors, in consultation with its independent legal and financial advisers, has unanimously determined that the revised unsolicited, conditional proposal to acquire Clorox, received on July 20, 2011, from Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("Icahn"), substantially undervalues the company and is not credible.
The board reiterated that it is committed to continued stockholder value creation and regularly evaluates opportunities given the dynamic nature of the company's industry. The board remains open to considering any credible plan to create significant stockholder value.
"Our board has carefully considered Mr. Icahn's revised proposal and concluded that it is inadequate and unlikely to be completed," said Lead Director Gary Michael. "The board also believes Mr. Icahn's revised proposal lacks detail and contains significant conditionality."
The board believes that a credible proposal must deliver compelling value and certainty. A credible proposal includes, among other things, a fully underwritten debt commitment and clearly identified and adequate equity capital that in the aggregate would be sufficient to complete a transaction. In addition, a credible proposal should contain sufficient detail to demonstrate that it provides market-standard provisions that assure certainty of completion.
Mr. Michael continued, "Our board believes that continuing to implement the company's centennial strategy is the best path to deliver value to stockholders. Evidence that this strategy is providing significant value includes that Clorox's three-year total stockholder return was 43 percent versus 10 percent for the S&P 500 and 34 percent for our comprehensive consumer packaged goods peer group.1 Clorox has returned more than $2.6 billion in cash to stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases since fiscal year 2006,2 and the company has doubled the dividend from $1.20 to $2.40 per diluted share in the past five years."
"Clorox has leading brands that are well-positioned in their categories and continuing to gain market share," said Chairman and CEO Don Knauss. "On an all-outlet retail basis, Clorox's U.S. brands have gained significantly more market share than any other branded consumer products company, or private label, in our categories over the last three years."3
The text of the response letter sent to Mr. Icahn is set forth below:
Dear Mr. Icahn:
I am writing in response to your revised July 20, 2011, proposal.
Our board of directors, in consultation with our independent legal and financial advisers, has met and thoroughly evaluated your revised proposal. The board unanimously concluded the proposal substantially undervalues Clorox and is not credible.
In making this determination, the board noted that your proposal lacks detail and contains significant conditionality.
Our board believes that a credible proposal must deliver compelling value and certainty, and includes, among other things, a fully underwritten debt commitment and clearly identified and adequate equity capital that in the aggregate would be sufficient to complete a transaction. In addition, a credible proposal should contain sufficient detail to demonstrate that it provides market-standard provisions that assure certainty of completion.
Our board is committed to continued stockholder value creation and regularly evaluates opportunities given the dynamic nature of our industry.
We are always interested in the views and opinions of our stockholders, and our board remains open to considering any credible plan to create significant stockholder value.
We are confident our centennial strategy, including our focus on consumer megatrends and returning excess cash to stockholders, is the right path to continue creating superior value for our stockholders.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Don Knauss

The East Baton Rouge School Board will consider at least two possible temporary homes for Lee High School students while their dilapidated high school is rebuilt.
In a memo to the board, Catherine Fletcher, chief business operations officer for the school system, is presenting four options for what she's describing as "swing space" for Lee High.
Three of the options call for the high school to temporarily assume control of the Valley Park Alternative School campus. The fourth option would have the high school move into vacant space in Town South Shopping Center, where for years the school system leased space for an alternative school called Staring Center until that program relocated to north Baton Rouge.
"As the current Lee High site is scheduled for demolition during summer 2013, it is imperative that a decision is reached regarding a swing space," Fletcher told the board.
The School Board is planning to take up the issue when it meets at 5 p.m. Thursday at the School Board Office, 1050 S. Foster Drive. The board is not expected to take a final vote on the Lee High temporary home until its Feb. 21 meeting.
Fletcher estimated the costs, likely ranging from $6.4 million to $8.2 million, depending on the option selected.
The $6.4 million option involves relocating and upgrading up to three vacant spaces at the Town South Shopping Center at 1919 Staring Lane. The cost falls to $3.8 million if fewer than 300 students are housed there, an unlikely scenario given the expected enrollment for the high school.
The more expensive $8.2 million option would involve upgrading both Valley Park and the shopping center.
The School Board voted Nov. 15 to rebuild the old rundown Lee High campus at 1105 Lee Drive, requiring a two-year relocation until construction finishes in summer 2015 at an estimated cost of $58.5 million. In January, the board selected Baton Rouge-based Grace & Hebert Architects, which is joining forces with the much larger Omaha-based firm, DLR Group, to design the new high school. The new facility will be a two-story building that can house about 1,200 students.
Lee High, long the neighborhood high school for much of south Baton Rouge, was shut down in 2009 to avert a possible state takeover. Soon after, it became the temporary home for Baton Rouge Magnet High until that school was renovated and expanded.
In August, when Baton Rouge Magnet High reopened at its historic home, Lee High reopened as well. It started with 226 students, just ninth- and 10th graders. The school, though, will add a junior and a senior class over the next two years and will likely double in enrollment over the next two years.
On top of that, the school system plans to add a magnet program to Lee High slated to start this fall. The new program will likely focus on science, technology, engineering and math, as well as digital arts.
If the School Board opts to use Valley Park, the students at the disciplinary school would have to go elsewhere. Two of the options Fletcher is presenting would involve some or all of the Valley Park students relocating to Town South Shopping Center. Another option, they would relocate to unspecified high schools or middle schools with space.
Valley Park takes in students expelled or under long-term suspensions from other middle and high schools in Baton Rouge. It has about 130 students.

A river protection group in South Carolina will drop its lawsuit against a Michigan farm corporation after reaching a settlement over the company's water withdrawals from the South Fork of the Edisto River.
The agreement between Friends of the Edisto and Walther Farms says the company will cut by about two-thirds the amount of water it originally planned to siphon from the narrow South Fork to irrigate two tracts totaling 5,200 acres.
Reached over the weekend, the settlement does not require limits on Walther's withdrawals during periods of drought, a concern many people had voiced when the state Department of Health and Environmental Control approved the withdrawals last year. DHEC examined average river flows, but many people said the siphoning could hurt the river during periods of dry weather when water levels are low in the South Fork, a narrow stream about an hour's drive southwest of Columbia.
Tim Rogers, president of Friends of the Edisto, said the agreement still is significant because it reduces the overall withdrawals sharply.
"Each of these concessions are positive and important,'' Rogers said. "Each was the product of hard negotiations.''
Jason Walther, the company's president and chief executive officer, also was pleased with the agreement.
"We have from the beginning appreciated the passion and the concerns of the community, and we're excited to work with them to find a resolution that works for all of us,'' he said Tuesday. "Usually farmers and their communities work through issues. I think the example we have here is a good demonstration of that.''
S.C. Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers and the Conservation Voters of South Carolina sent out statements Tuesday applauding the accord as a reasonable resolution to a dispute that, in some corners, had become bitter of late. Weathers enlisted the help of Dana Beach, head of the S.C. Coastal Conservation League, to try and reach an agreement.
"Like other farmers in our state, the Walther family values natural resources and has demonstrated a willingness to help protect the Edisto River," Weathers statement said. "Agribusiness is the state's leading industry and it is equally important to promote future growth. This agreement shows that we can work together to meet the goals of both agriculture and conservation."
The agreement is based on a compromise the company offered about two weeks ago in an attempt to settle the case by Friends of the Edisto, which had appealed DHEC's approval of the farm's irrigation plan. The company originally proposed to take up to 9.6 billion gallons from the river each year from two sites, an amount Friends of the Edisto said would take a toll on the river's water levels.
But the agreement between the friends group and Walther now cuts the amount of withdrawals to about 3 billion gallons collectively from the two sites.
Walther's operation in South Carolina will be the largest potato farm in the state, dwarfing any other potato-growing business.
According to the settlement agreement:
-- Walther will cut in half its withdrawals for a 3,700-acre farm tract in Aiken County. The new withdrawal amount would be about 3 billion gallons annually. Walther originally wanted to take more than 6 billion gallons annually.
-- The company will abandon plans to take about 3 billion gallons annually from the South Fork at a second 1,500-acre site downstream in Barnwell County. The company will cancel a DHEC application for the withdrawal within 30 days and will use only groundwater at the second site to irrigate crops for the next year.
-- After one year at the Barnwell County site, the agreement allows Walther to seek a withdrawal from the South Fork to serve the 1,500-acre tract, but it must notify Friends of the Edisto of any plans to do so. A Walther executive told The State on Monday the company would use river water from the Barnwell site only as a backup to a groundwater irrigation system.
-- Walther will submit a plan that could reduce withdrawals from the Aiken County site during times of drought. The company has said it is working on using some groundwater, to reduce river withdrawals during droughts.
-- The company will pay up to $35,000 to set up and operate a stream flow gauge near a major water withdrawal pipe on the South Fork at the first farm site.
-- Within three months, Walther will plant vegetation in an area that was cleared to install water siphoning pipes on the South Fork in Aiken County.
-- The company will maintain 560 acres of forested area between the potato fields and the river to buffer the South Fork from the agricultural operation.
Rogers said the next step for his group is to push for a tougher law regulating large withdrawals from rivers by farms, which are largely exempt from many rules in the state's 2010 surface water act. Rep. James Smith, D-Richland, plans to introduce legislation. Sen. Chip Campsen, R-Charleston, already has done so in the upper chamber. Some discussion has surfaced about a moratorium on large farm withdrawals until the law can be tightened, although Rogers said the Walther agreement prevents withdrawals from the second site for the next year.
For now, Walther Farms officials have " pledged .... that they will be good stewards of the land and the River,'' he said. "They have pledged to be good neighbors and work with their neighbors to help conserve our precious natural resources. Trust takes time to build. But I have become convinced of their sincerity, and I am impressed by their professional skills. Time will tell, but I will make the effort to give them the benefit of the doubt.''
In return for offering the concessions, Friends of the Edisto agreed not to take action that would stop Walther from planting its first potato crop on the land in February and March.

"I'm indestructible. I'm invincible". As far as movie quotes go, it's a doozy. But this isn't a movie quote. It comes from an arm's length away from the greatest superstar to walk the planet - Shah Rukh Khan. He is exactly where he wants to be - on his third floor library of Mannat Annexe, where he finds peace and tranquillity. One of the greatest creation stories of modern Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan is devoid of ego. He gets up and greets me with a smile. I've read about the actor since I was in school - in newspapers, magazines, seen him on television, and met him in London several times and in Mannat in 2008. But what is it that I still don't know about Shah Rukh? What is it that the actor still hasn't confessed about? He's told his story before but it's worth telling again, if only because it's never really ended. Gone is the youthful icon of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge. The reinvented Khan has gone blockbuster crazy with his new outing - Chennai Express. Once about licence, fame is now about virtue and what makes one of the world's biggest name in entertainment different from his peers, however, is not the grandeur of his ambition or the purity of his soul but the fact that when you talk to him, he seems like a good guy. And let me tell you this - Good guys are indestructible. They are invincible.
In what goes down as the best interview of my career and a record breaking one too (1 hour with SRK) I present you Part 1 of the three part special on the man who is happy being human than calling himself a superstar. I present you Shah Rukh Khan as never heard before.
With over two decades in the Hindi Film Industry, how do you keep sustaining?
I'm indestructible and indestructible things don't sustain themselves (laughs). I'm invincible. But I'll be honest - if you start looking at the exterior appreciation or the peripheral aspects of your work as the main mover for your job, like - X amount of business or Y amount of critical appraisal, Z amount of chat about new comers, etc it's not going to work. If you've been at a job for twenty years, you'll know what I'm getting at. But I don't talk about my relationship with acting. I'm self deprecating, I joke about it and I say it off the cuff, but obviously I may be knowing something about it. That's me and my acting and it's a secret. It's the only enigmatic part of my job. There is no need for me to discuss how the shoe is made. Do you like it? Does it fit well? Is it comfortable? Does it last long? How I made is not for anyone to know. But that is the core and the essence of what I do. There is nothing else I know. Everything else is peripheral - my company is peripheral, the business is peripheral, the critics are peripheral, and all come along because I act. All this stems from something that I own and that is indestructible. I know I have to keep doing what I am best at and that is acting - be it dancing on top of Maratha Mandir or to go retarded in Chennai Express and make people laugh. As long as I act, I'll sustain myself and my movies. I've been in the business long enough to know that.
Every director must be wanting a piece of you seeing the fate of Chennai Epxress.
I am not saying I know the business 100% but I do know something. Half my life I've kept doing movies and then I think - I want to make movies for the South Indian market but that market can change, taste can change. I want to make movies for critics but critics and their appreciation can change for a certain kind of cinema. And then I make movies because my heart says so. Now that doesn't change and that has always been growing along with me. I find a set of people I really like working with and that makes me happy. I surrender myself to that person's demand once I decide to do the movie. Be it Aditya Chopra, Shimit Amin, Farah Khan or Rohit Shetty. I please them in their world and I behave like how they want me to. I change for them. But till the film is over these directors start believing that I've always belonged here. I move on.
How do you look at how people analyse you?
There is a post analysis of the film - that is the facts, figures and trade. There is pre-conceived analysis of the film - that is the critical appraisal. They come with their set of ideas. But the process, the people and my understanding of the movie that I do is the most important. I care of only that. Every year I am buried alive and taken back. I am like the phoenix rising from the ashes. Sometimes I am a bankable commodity, other times I am too old, sometimes in between I am mid life, some days I am too desperate, I am also sometimes the epitome of what India stands for. I don't believe in any of it. None of this is true and has nothing to do with my acting. I go and give a speech in Yale, I can speak in the India Today conclave, I go and dance at somebody's wedding. That's what I do. I am an actor.
Let's get nostalgic. Besides the fame, the fans and the films, what else has this beautiful city of Mumbai given you?
Mumbai has given me a huge amount of reason to give back. It's given me a strange sense of humility, gratefulness, graciousness, and a desire to be eaten alive by the people because they've given me so much. If I was to sell myself flesh wise, and that I don't do even for marketing (laughs), I would give myself free to everyone. I want to be full of love bites, I want to be carried away in pieces and I want someone's life to be touched by every part of my life. It's given me meaning of a job much beyond that. It's given me a family that's extremely well settled and happy because I do this. It's given me a space where I think my parents can see me from heaven. When so much has been given to you, you only worry about how you will return it. You can't be asking for more. The ungratefulness of asking for more has been taken away by this city from me. I don't know who to ask. I don't pray to Allah and say - Give me this! My mother used to say, "Zindagi mein beta, har kaam karna, khush rehna, kaam ki hamesha izzat karna, koshish karna, kabhi mangna na pade." This city has given me a fulfillment of my mother's wishes that I will never have to ask.
A group of 700 senior citizens watching a Chennai Express in Ahmedabad and a four year old with his father who is a labour worker, they saw the film. Is this the rise of your new fan club?
I've never calculated my fan base. Yes, for the 65 year old plus, they must be my old fan base when they were in their mid forties. The four year old is something new. I am quite surprised. But through these many years, there has been a consistency. The consistency is that I am extremely human when you see me publicly and I am extremely characterized when you see me in Chak De, Chennai Express, Don, My Name is Khan, etc. But I know how my fan base is built. I'm sure the film must be happy for them because it was happy for me when I shot it. My happiness is what I share with my fans. On the other hand, it's the consistency of being there in the public that I can't avoid. I said this some years back - I don't work towards becoming a superstar or the number one actor or the highest earner. They are peripherals and this process will continue. What I want to be is a feeling that cannot be denied. When you have a love affair, people expect a lot from you. The more you will expect of me, the more I will do it but I should be known as the person who tried his best. I am not saying this in arrogance. Some movies work, some don't but whatever I do is for my fans.
But these fans expect you to do a Chak De kind of a movie too
Yes, I shall do that too. But it can't be the next move. When I signed Chak De, my friends told me that I don't look good in a beard and there are no songs featuring me in the film. But I did it. It worked for some, it didn't for others. It doesn't matter. I did Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge. Post that people only want to see me do such movies. I tell them - Take it easy! I've done one, I'll do it again. There is a time and space for everything. I have two grown up kids and a new born baby that I need to spend time with. I need to look after a lot of other things also. The support system around me has grown too. But I do all this with a calmness of someone who knows that I will manage everything at the end of it all. Whatever I can do till my last breath as an actor, as a star, as a performer, as an entertainer, all the expectations of all my lovely fans I will fulfil.
To be continued...
Watch this space for Part 2 of Shah Rukh Khan special!

Police and firefighters responding to a call about a traffic accident on the Northwest Side shortly after midnight on Friday expected to find simply twisted metal and frayed nerves.
But when they peered into the windows of a 1983 forest-green Buick, they made a grisly discovery.
On the blood-soaked front seat were the bodies of two men who had been fatally shot at point-blank range in the back of their heads. Sprawled across the back seat was another man who had been shot twice in the stomach. He was rushed to Illinois Masonic Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

High Score in the New Assessment Category of Materiality
MISSISSAUGA, ON--(Marketwired - October 03, 2016) - Konica Minolta, Inc. (Konica Minolta) has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) for five years in a row in recognition of its economic, environmental and social performance.
Konica Minolta has also been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia Pacific) for the eighth consecutive year.
This year, Konica Minolta received a high score in materiality, a new assessment category added to the economic dimension, and for the third consecutive year earned the highest evaluation in the Computers & Peripherals and Office Electronics sector of the environmental dimension, which includes climate strategy, environmental policy, management system and information disclosure.
CSR activities at Konica Minolta
1. Reevaluation of materiality to identify six priority issues
Last year, Konica Minolta reevaluated materiality and identified the following six issues that needed to be addressed and given priority in its CSR activities:
In identifying materiality issues, Konica Minolta conducted quantitative evaluation of its corporate activities from two perspectives; namely, "materiality to stakeholders" and "materiality to the company's business," while asking outside experts for their opinions in order to incorporate objectivity into its decisions. These were then validated by the newly established CSR Executive Meeting, whose main members are executive officers.
2. Environmental efforts under the Medium-Term Environmental Plan
In 2009, Konica Minolta was among the first companies to formulate a long-term environmental plan called Eco Vision 2050, with a goal to reduce CO2 emissions through a product's lifecycle by 80% by 2050 compared to fiscal 2005 levels. To achieve this goal, the company is promoting the Medium-Term Environmental Plan 2016, along with the Medium-Term Business Plan, on a worldwide basis.
In implementing the Medium-Term Environmental Plan 2016, Konica Minolta aims to work closely with its stakeholders to create values and grow together. To be specific, the company is working to gain greater trust from its shareholders and investors through appropriate disclosure of its non-financial information (e.g. by publicizing its inclusion in the DJSI World and various other SRI indices and sharing its environmental efforts at shareholders' meetings.) The company also organized an ESG meeting for analysts this year.
3. Applying the results of internal assessment for inclusion in the DJSI World to its CSR activities
For several years, Konica Minolta has been utilizing the results of internal assessment for inclusion in the DJSI World as a means to enhance the level of its CSR activities. In doing so, Konica Minolta aims to better implement the PDCA cycle with a deeper understanding of how the company should cater to the demands of society in each assessment category.
Under the brand proposition "Giving Shape to Ideas," Konica Minolta is committed to remaining vital to society by driving CSR initiatives in its businesses and contributing to improving social quality through creation of new values.
About DJSI World
The DJSI World is the first global index to track the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide and is provided by RobecoSAM, the Switzerland-based sustainability investment company, and S&P Dow Jones Indices in the U.S. It assesses corporate sustainability from economic, environmental and social developments. The index is highly recognized among global institutional investors who take a close look at CSR management and sustainability. In the annual review of the world's 2,500 companies, 316 companies have been listed on the DJSI World and, within the list, 26 are Japanese companies including Konica Minolta.
Reference: External assessment
In addition to the DJSI World and the DJSI Asia Pacific, Konica Minolta has been included in various global SRI indices and obtained high CSR ratings.

GUSU Paddlesports
219 Mountain Dr.
gusu, jimmy lewis, tahoe sup, ohana, nsp, florida, destin, fl, south county
GUSU Paddlesports opened for business in January 09. Steve Hill saw the need for a shop that carried an assortment of SUPs. There was not anyone in the panhandle of Florida with any kind of paddleboard selection and no one had any demos. With the concept of providing paddleboards for everyone from the beginner to surf paddles and racers Steve set out to select the top brands to carry in the GUSU shop. Global Surf Industries offered a great line of boards that were durable and user friendly. With proven names like NSP, McTavish, Walden, 7's, and Southpoint, Steve launched the 09 season. In the winter of 09 GUSU race team led by Matt McDonald and Travis Roach, went in search of the ultimate race board and with the help of Bob Reed got 3 Ohana 12'6" race boards. Fast and light and state of the art Ohana Boards offered all the team was looking for. At the Cold Stroke Classic in Wilmington South Carolina, Steve was introduced to Tahoe SUPs and soon added the line to cover touring boards. Trying to cover all of the aspects of the sport South County was added; capable of supporting someone up to 350 lbs and able to surf with the best of them. Last but not least the Jimmy Lewis line was added after co sponsoring a demo. They offer a variety of surf style boards and the fast and versitle Slice. GUSU Paddlesports has grown into the premier paddleboard destination in the southeast offering demo boards to try before you buy. We ship anywhere and are in it to win it. We are evolving with the sport and see a bright future for the paddle community.

AKA "FA" for short - The feeling of receiving a beefy hog in the hind quarters usually from a spouse or co-worker. Despite a valient attempt to accomplish something, the recipient of your good deed is thankless and has the nerve to discredit or disregard your goodwill.
I told the company that we could save money by utilizing my cost cutting measure. Not only did they disregard my effort, they decided to approve the most expensive option on the table. Fucked Again!
by C-dog Nights May 20, 2010
