She is also the author/coauthor of several textbooks including Maternal and Newborn Nursing Care Plans, Critical Thinking in Nursing: Case Studies across the Curriculum, and Swearingen s Manual of Medical- Surgical Nursing. Dr. Green s passion is raising awareness about student test fairness while helping faculty maintain high testing standards. This interactive workshop begins with the design and discussion of a basic test blueprint and ends with the interpretation of test item analyses. It focuses on teaching educators how to develop objective basic and upper cognitive level multiple-choice and case questions that are free from common testing errors. Participants will practice manipulation of individual test item stems and distractors to raise and/or lower the cognitive level of difficulty of multiple choice and case-based test questions. This workshop will also teach participants how to interpret test item analyses including evaluation of overall test performance (K-20), test item discrimination (D) and difficulty (p) indices. Given sample test item statistics, participants will make decisions about test items that are performing well, need revision, are miss keyed, or need to be deleted. Time permitting, participant submitted test items will be evaluated. Workshop 3 Updating Your Educational Technology Toolkit 1:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. (registration at 12:15 p.m.) Ken Graetz, PhD, Teaching, Learning and Technology Services, Winona State University, Winona, Minnesota Dr. Graetz received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Specializing in Social Psychology, his research interests include team and group dynamics, social cognition, psychometrics, and computer-supported collaborative work.

We will explore emerging tools and practices, discuss how they impact you as nurse educators, gain some hands-on experience with several popular tools, and share good practices and lessons learned. We will also develop a plan for continuing this conversation and learning beyond the conference.

Tagged: contact, CONTACT FORM, Lightbox, link
July 24, 2013 at 3:33 pm #26676
I've used the button shortcode to create a button which when clicked should open the contact page.
However, I want to open the contact page in a lightbox effect as opposed to new tab or same window. So that the customer doesn't have to navigate to a another page to fill out the contact form.
Right now I am using the following code
[button link="http://---edited out by Devin---.com/contact/" size="xl" style="note" color="#FFFFFF" border="#000000" text="dark"]Request for Quote[/button]
Would appreciate your help.July 25, 2013 at 10:27 pm #131226
Hi row321,
The button short code doesn't have a class parameter so you would need to use a regular html button and add the relative value for it as well as load it in as an iframe.
Google.com
Reference: http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/
DevinJuly 26, 2013 at 3:26 pm #131227
Thanks @devin! I was able to solve the issue. Was wondering would it be possible for you to edit the original post by me to replace the domain name with example.com in the button code that I mention? Thanks again.
Here's what I was trying to accomplish –
I wanted to display a "Request Quote" button and then have a contact form open when the button was clicked in a lightbox.
How I did it::
Installed two plugins – Form Lightbox and Contact form 7.
Then used a text/HTML widget with the following code.

[formlightbox_call title="lightbox form" class="1374826386773"]<button class="requestquote">Request Quote</button>[/formlightbox_call]
[formlightbox_obj id="1374826386773" style="" onload="false"][contact-form-7 id="1013" title="Contact form 1"][/formlightbox_obj]

Where I defined the "requestquote" button class to style the default HTML button.
I used a CSS Style Button generator website to help me with the CSS styling to match the look and feel of the theme so I used the following –
.requestquote {
border: 1px solid #D1D1D1;
background: -webkit-gradient( linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0.08, #FFFFFF), color-stop(0.9, #D1D1D1) );
background: -moz-linear-gradient( center top, #FFFFFF 8%, #D1D1D1 90% );
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#FFFFFF', endColorstr='#D1D1D1');
background-color: #FFFFFF;
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 2px 0px #FFFFFF;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 2px 0px #FFFFFF;
box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 2px 0px #FFFFFF;
-moz-border-radius: 1px;
-webkit-border-radius: 1px;
border-radius: 1px;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #FFFFFF;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 5px 5px;
padding: 6px 6px;
color: #174580;
letter-spacing: 1px;
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
width: 185px;
text-transform: capitalize;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
.requestquote:hover {
background: -webkit-gradient( linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0.08, #D1D1D1), color-stop(0.9, #FFFFFF) );
background: -moz-linear-gradient( center top, #D1D1D1 8%, #FFFFFF 90% );
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#D1D1D1', endColorstr='#FFFFFF');
background-color: #D1D1D1;
.requestquote:active {
position: relative;
top: 1px;
left: 0px;
And DONE!!
Now I have a request quote button on the site that users can click and access a custom contact form to request quote for a product in a lightbox.
And all this could be done without paying for any custom development. :)
Hope this helps anyone else trying to accomplish this feature on their site.July 27, 2013 at 9:43 pm #131228
Sure thing and thanks for posting what ended up working for you :)

Mobile e-commerce just showed up on the radar of online merchants that still considered it far too marginal until recently. The defining moment of e-commerce in 2012 was in fact the strong rise of mobile phone transactions in the United States. More significantly, purchases made by new tablet owners have exceeded -for the first time- those made with smartphones.

Rack, Shack & Benny by Veggie Tales

The story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego like you've never seen it before!
Reviewed by Steven Bridge
The subject of this review was first released in VHS in 1995 as the fourth in the series, re-released on DVD in 2002, and is a Veggie-ized version of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and the fiery furnace. Rack, Shack and Benny find themselves working in Mr Nezzer's chocolate bunny factory. Through a course of events they are asked to compromise their beliefs, which they refuse to do with dire consequences. Complete with the proverbial happy ending (a bit sugary in this Veggie-version), the purpose of the video is to help children (aged three and up) learn how to resist peer pressure and stand up for what they believe in. I don't think that the re-telling of the Biblical story with all-talking (and occasionally singing) vegetables does this. Interspersed with silly songs to up the fun factor, the Veggie Tales series was seen as being innovative and imaginative in the 1990s. What children in the modern day think is another question. On asking my 17-year-old daughter what she recalled from watching them, she mainly remembered the silly songs. Nevertheless, with added features like a new improved "Bunny Song" and behind-the-scenes stuff this DVD is a entertaining children's viewing.

Hell, why not. Every other blog on the interwebs has these silly little 'tips'.
So, I recently purchased a bunch of CDs and added them to iTunes. Now, how to listen to them all?
I'm a shuffle kind of person, so I use the "Recently Added" smart playlist. However, it does repeat, which is no good. So, what to do?
Pretty simple really. Duplicate the "Recently Added" playlist (right click, and select duplicate). Then edit it (right click and select edit), and add a new criteria (click the + button, moron), and select the criterion "Plays" and is and 0. Make sure "Live updating" is checked (it should be, unless you've been stuffing around with the default settings in iTunes).
The effect of this is that your recently added, non podcast (that's the default) media, that you have not played will be on this list. So, in theory it should shuffle through, removing items as they are played. Or not. iTunes does some counter intuitive shit.
So, Mountain Lion is looking like a July 25 release. Apple have released docs for Mountain Lion Server, and the move from big iron enterprise Unix continues. Server Admin and WorkGroup Admin appear to have been dropped, NetBoot isn't mentioned but NetInstall is. Interestingly, FTP looks like it is back in the GUI. PPTP VPN looks like it has disappeared again.
The big problem, and I might be the only person who thinks this, is that whilst a lot of the power is still there (they are still using BIND, Apache, RADIUS, OpenLDAP, Perl/Ruby/Python etc etc), their is precious little documentation on it. And where Apple used to have a reasonable training and certification program, it has all but disappeared (the Open Directory section of their 'Advanced' Admin guide is barely 7 pages). Good enough if you don't care about best practice and are happy to set up an ad hoc server by trial and error for a small business that's not too fussed about downtime when you realise you need to rebuild the server because the DNS name you gave it in the first instance was wrong. But if you want to use the real power that Unix offers, you really, really need to know your stuff.
I have found a temporary solution for the pains of 10.7/10.8. I am running Snow Leopard with a Lion Server VM. Likely, I will clone this and create a Mountain Lion VM. I've not found /any/ software that I need yet that is Lion specific, but this will likely happen. If I didn't need to find my way around it for work, I doubt I'd touch it. But FileMaker and Adobe tend to support only a couple of versions of the OS for any release, so the day that Snow Leopard becomes untenable draws closer still.
There is the possibility of moving to Linux, and running all instances of Mac OS X as VMs under that. I'm not sure if that would break licensing conditions or not. I seem to recall it being licensed for VMs running on Apple hardware, I don't recall mention of running the VMs under an Apple OS.
I must say that the naming of 10.8 struck me as a little odd in the context of past names.
Mountain Lions are in fact the same species as Pumas (and arguably Panthers). This requires a closer look.
10.0 - Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)
10.1 - Puma (Puma concolor)
10.2 - Jaguar (Panthera onca)
10.3 - Panther (Puma concolor OR Panthera pardus)
10.4 - Tiger (Panthera tigris)
10.5 - Leopard (Panthera pardus)
10.6 - Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia)
10.7 - Lion (Panthera leo)
10.8 - Mountain Lion (Puma concolor)
So, a cynic might say that superficially 10.8 is an improvement on 10.7 but is really 5 (or 7) steps back.
So Apple decided to release 10.6.6 the day after I installed my CalDigit USB 3 card. This is an issue because USB 3 is very new, and the drivers (kexts) are still not completely solid. CalDigit released an updated version of their driver for 10.6.5 (and make you jump through some hoops to get it), since the driver broke with the 10.6.5 update. Their current (10 Jan) recommendation is not to update to 10.6.6 until they have done their tests (and probably released a new driver). Update: a new driver is available.
So, the Mac Pro is on 10.6.5 for the meantime, but the Mac Mini is on 10.6.6. I've tried out the app store on the Mac Mini and downloaded an app. The nice thing is it is a little easier to search and find stuff than apple.com/downloads. The downside is that it requires 10.6.6, many of the apps cost money (interestingly the AUD prices are STILL much higher than the USD equivalents despite the exchange rates). And the fact that Apple can now easily track what you download and where you install based on your AppStore account.
The good news is that you can copy some apps from the Mac where they were downloaded to another Mac without issues. So, set up a Mac with the account, and then copy the apps (many ways to do this) to however many other Macs you like.
I mentioned that I also installed Debian on a Mini-ITX box, specifically it is a VIA Epia with a 533MHz Eden CPU, and nearly all you need integrated (as mini-itx boards normally are). I bought it a little while ago from someone who had assembled 95% of the parts to make an ADSL/WiFi router, but gave up on it. All it needed was a case/psu, which cost about as much as the board and bits I had already purchased. The other small problem was that it only had 256MB RAM. Not really enough. But since I had just upgraded the Cube, I took the two spare 256MB chips and bumped the RAM up in the MiniITX to 512MB.
I had previously attempted to install 3 or 4 distros (Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva etc) on this box, but had a variety of issues, ranging from the installer not running (or halting part way through), installing but then going into a restart loop, or installing and then not doing anything. This is probably due to the fact I was using current distros on a rather old board. So, back to old faithful Debian, which goes out of its way to support obsolete hardware like this.
I used a 5.0.4 DVD to install and only two little snags during the install: the Intel wireless card needed nonfree firmware (very simple to do), and half way through the pre-install config, the font died and turned to the default square boxes for all chars. Fortunately, I found screen shots of the install online and could work my way through the rest of the config. Installed ok.
At some point I will need to configure the WiFi on the MiniITX box, and put it in an appropriate location. I'm thinking to play around with kismet.

It's time to apply some "tough love" in Somalia, where news reports suggest that the West's humanitarian efforts may be making a very bad situation even worse. One correspondent described a nightmare scenario in which food shipments aimed at relieving starvation only intensified fighting among Somali beneficiaries, while United Nations peacekeeping forces aggravated the violence.
Somalia's plight is such that charity alone will not suffice. The country is tearing itself to shreds - not so much for lack of food as dearth of leadership. Drought and famine, serious as these are, account for less human suffering than lawlessness and anarchy. Warlords claim authority and compete for attention but do nothing to curb the armed thugs who terrorize the helpless community. Politicians bicker over who should get the larger food shipment. We must do more than donate food. We must get tough w ith Somalis, for their own good.
These are the steps Somalia's friends urgently need to take: The UN Security Council should declare Somalia a distressed state and take responsibility for its protection and survival; it should send an additional 3,000 well-armed peacekeeping troops; UN authorities should immediately stop paying court to the brutal warlords whose feudings have caused awful suffering, and should deal only with legitimate leaders even if it means suspending relief operations; the Security Council should demand that all arm ed groups be demobilized and replaced by uniformed Somali police under control of civilian elders and UN advisers; and most important, international food and medical relief efforts should be explicitly concentrated on those areas of the country where traditional elders have succeeded in reasserting authority and restoring order. T. Frank Crigler, Arlington, Va. US Ambassador to Somalia, 1987-90 Nigeria's economy
Regarding the Economy page article "Nigeria's Economy Backslides," Aug. 5: The Monitor's x-ray of Nigeria's economy is most timely, just as some popular newspapers and magazines here are doing. It is no gain saying that Nigeria's economy is in shambles. After seven years in power, Nigeria's military regime is to step down, but it leaves a legacy of unsolved economic problems including "high inflation, high interest rates, and high unemployment." Corruption is not left out as well as the neglect of educat ion and health care.
These were the president's justifications then for taking over: Deterioration in the general standard of living of the ordinary Nigerian has reached incalculable heights. Prices of goods and equipment have risen, scarcity of commodities has increased, hospitals still remain mere consulting clinics while educational institutions are on the brink of total decay. Unemployment has stretched to critical dimensions. Nwogwugwu Samson, Utura, Nigeria European unity
Regarding the editorial " `The Little Yes' ," Sept. 23: Surely you are not suggesting that "EC heads of state must agree to ensure more local and national representation in a future unified Europe." If, indeed, European monarchs and presidents were to get involved in this political issue, such involvement would be overwhelmingly resented by the voters in Europe. They consider this clearly a political issue with which their government leaders must deal, not the heads of state.
Imagine what the reaction of the European public would be if Queen Elizabeth or President von Weizsaecker were to express an opinion, much less negotiate on such a thorny political issue. Walter H. Diebold, Lafayette, Calif.

Rental levels are at record highs in Central London with some major streets having "virtually no availability," according to research from property consultancy Knight Frank.
Over the last five years, rents for prime London locations such as Bond Street have risen by 45 per cent – more than double the rate seen for so-called "average" streets such as Edgware Road and Queensway. Elsewhere, Piccadilly is seen as under-rented compared with nearby major streets and offers good growth prospects.
Watchmaker Patek Philippe secured a 1,200 sq ft store on Bond Street for a record £10m, while US fashion chain paid £13.8m for HMV's lease on Oxford Street in recent months.
The divergence in performance between the best streets and the more "average" locations has been a key trend in the UK since the downturn.
Knight Frank's recent survey of 18 key London locations shows that vacancy rates average lower than pre-recession levels of 3-4 per cent, with available units being taken very quickly.
The continuing influx of international retailers into London mirrors the latest upbeat tourist data, which shows 16.8m international visitors to London in 2013. While international brands from the USA and Europe, such as J Crew, Victoria's Secret, Piaget and Fendi still dominate activity, retailers from other parts of the world such as China, Russia, Australia and Brazil are increasingly prominent. Visitors from the USA and France still top the rankings in terms of numbers, while visitors from Asia, Latin America and the Middle East spend the most.
Wealth preservation, cooling measures and low yields in Asian own markets are believed to be the main reasons for retailers targeting London.
Darren Yates, partner, retail research team, Knight Frank, commented: "London's retail market continues to go from strength to strength, with a long line of retailers and restaurants seeking space and rents still under pressure in both prime and off-prime locations."

Lindsay Lohan hires OJ Simpson's lawyer
Robert Shapiro, OJ Simpson's old lawyer, has been hired to represent Lindsay Lohan as the actress is set to go to jail. That gets us thinking: If she ain't on cokey, don't send her to the pokey.
Start working on your catch phrases, kids, because Lindsay Lohan has a new legal eagle in her corner.
After landing a 90-day jail sentence, followed by 90 days in rehab and getting dropped by her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, Lindsay Lohan has moved into a sober living facility and has joined forces with a man capable of making even the vilest deeds go unpunished -- OJ Simpson's former lawyer, Robert Shapiro.
And he's going to make sure the Orange Juice stays loose, ya'll.
TMZ reported Shapiro will not appeal Lindsay Lohan's jail sentence but will try to convince the court to put her into rehab instead of jail. Adding to their sympathy arsenal, Robert's son died of a drug overdose in 2005 and he started the sober living house Lindsay is living in.
This facility is great research for the actress who apparently wants to start her own treatment center one day.
We'll wait for the laughter to die down before continuing.
According to an interview with In Touch Weekly, her mother Dina Lohan -- aka: The Greatest Enabler in History -- said, "Lindsay is sober. She went to rehab before the court ordered her. When I put my daughter in rehab, I knew she needed it. In 2007 -- not currently. Lindsay actually wants to open up her own rehab center here (in Los Angeles) and a couple across the country to help other kids and celebs so they don't fall through the cracks in this town. She mentioned it to me a couple of days ago. She's really growing up."
Yeah, right!
Because this whole sober living thing isn't a total show for the court and the girl doesn't live in the Valley of the Dolls. OK, whatever you say, Dina.
On the other hand, Michael Lohan has been quite vocal (as usual) about what he hopes will happen with his estranged daughter's treatment.
"I just pray that they implement everything else I said, like getting clean off all meds, asking the court to go to rehab first and then reevaluate Lindsay's incarceration, cleaning house and picking all new friends and management and finally that Dina puts her motives aside and she go to counseling with Lindsay and me," Michael Lohan said. "As long as they detox her off everything...then that's a good start and it says that they know what they are doing. If they don't detox her off all the meds, it is as bad as the rest. If she has to turn herself in on the 20th, I hope they do it fast, because it takes a while to detox."
If you don't want to coddle, then take ?????Li n d s a y L o h a n ' s? ??pill bottles.

Marc, Anne, Kelsey, Brittany, and their dog Bentley joined me for a beautiful afternoon on the outskirts of Colorado Springs. Everyone was fabulous to work with and I couldn't have asked for a nicer family to photograph.
Thank you to the Glassows and best wishes to Brittany and her basketball team this next year.

In a recently issued claim construction order, Chief Administrative Law Judge Bullock held that terms included in all asserted claims are indefinite. He accordingly found the asserted claims invalid, stayed the Investigation, and invited Respondents to file a motion for summary determination.
Certain Electrical Connectors, Components Thereof, and Products Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-1043, instituted on March 14, 2017, pursuant to a complaint filed by J.S.T. Corporation. The complaint alleges that Respondents Robert Bosch GmbH, Bosch Automotive Products (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., Robert Bosch LLC, Robert Bosch, Sistemas Automotrices, S.A. de C.V., Robert Bosch Ltda., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd, and Foxconn Interconnect Technology Ltd. import, sell after importation, or sell for importation products that infringe claims 2, 4, 9, and 10 of U.S. Patent No. 7,004,766.
Chief Administrative Judge Bullock held a claim construction hearing on August 30, 2017, wherein the parties addressed three phrases in the asserted claims. In his September 28, 2017, order, CALJ Bullock found that one of these phrases which is included in each of the asserted claims—"end regions"/ "proximate to two opposite ends"/ "the second holes are provided in a center region of the tine plate between the end regions"—is indefinite pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 112, paragraph 2.
CALJ Bullock reasoned that a person of ordinary skill in the art would not be able to discern the boundaries of the claimed "end region" and "center region" in the tine plate based on the specification and prosecution history of the '766 patent. He further found inappropriate Complainant's attempt to "cobble together possible [specification] support" for an understanding of the claim terms, in view of the Supreme Court's holding in Nautilus, Inc. v. Biosig Instruments, Inc., 134 S. Ct. 2120 (2014). He noted that "[a]fter Nautilus, courts must find that the patent provides 'clear notice of what is claimed.'"
The CALJ found each of the asserted claims are invalid because they include claim terms that fail to meet the definiteness requirement of 35 U.S.C. § 112, paragraph 2. He further determined that he need not construe the other two claim phrases in light of his holding. The CALJ concluded by staying the Investigation, sua sponte, and invited the parties to "take the steps they deem appropriate such as filing a motion for summary determination or a motion to terminate the Investigation."
Unlike district courts that generally have local rules governing the claim construction process, there are no ITC procedural rules concerning how or when an ALJ is to construe patent claims. Historically, claim construction in the ITC was addressed at trial. However, about a decade ago, certain ALJs began conducting Markman hearings earlier in the proceedings. That trend has increased over the years, and now most of the ALJs conduct Markman hearings in at least some of their investigations.
As this case demonstrates, in the proper circumstance, an early claim construction hearing can be an opportunity for a party to prevail on a dispositive issue. Furthermore, in light of the Supreme Court's relatively recent ruling in Nautilus, we expect that more Respondents will assert invalidity defenses based on indefiniteness.
