Tech Update
Multiple-Hydraulic-Press Cell Improves Cycle Times in Unique Applications
Phoenix Hydraulic Presses, Hilliard, OH, has custom engineered a heated-platen, two-column hydraulic press to improve the cycle times for bonding paper material to a metallic ring. Four separate cells were produced, each consisting of four 30-ton presses individually driven by a single power unit. Each of the presses feature 13 by 14-in. heated platens with insulation on the bottom and sides, capable of reaching working temperatures to 700 F.
The cells were designed to build pressure on one press while allowing movement of the next press platen, reducing cycle times. The presses are controlled by an Allen Bradley 505 programmable controller with an Allen Bradley Panel View 1000 operator interface to run machine functions. A 150-gal. floor-mounted hydraulic reservoir features spin-on filters.
The cell can be designed in a variety of tonnages and engineered to meet custom specifications and applications, and also can be outfitted with a complete automation system.

Lara Spencer will remain at Good Morning America, and signed a new long-term deal with the show earlier this week.
"This was a simple decision," the lifestyle anchor told The Hollywood Reporter. "You know you're in the right job when getting up at 4 a.m. is a joy... I love what I do, and I adore the people I work with."
"I am thrilled to be on this team and look forward to many more years," Spencer continued.
Senior vice-president Jeffrey Schneider said the team "couldn't be happier" with Spencer's decision.
"Lara is a uniquely gifted anchor at the top of her game," Schneider lauded. "She brings so much energy, fun and smarts to every single broadcast. She is beloved by our viewers with good reason."
Spencer has been with the show since 2011. Good Morning America weather anchor Sam Champion departed in December, but fellow anchor Robin Roberts has also decided to stay. Josh Elliott has one month left on his ABC contract and is considering an offer from NBC Sports.

Can Free College Save American Cities?
Nine years and $50 million into a bold experiment, Kalamazoo is beginning to find out.
For weeks there were whispers. And then one night in November 2005, hundreds of parents, teachers, and students crammed into a boardroom at a drab administration building south of downtown. Janice Brown, the superintendent of the Kalamazoo schools, had an announcement to make, and it was even more surprising than the rumors that had been flying around town: Kalamazoo, small, struggling Kalamazoo, best known for its strange name and the industries it was no longer home to, was about to launch the most generous municipal college scholarship program in the country, an audacious experiment not only in education reform but in re-engineering a troubled town.
As Brown shared the news, there were gasps and screams. Some of those assembled began to sob. "It's been said that Kalamazoo is a very special community. Tonight, we have proof of that more than ever, ever before," she told the audience. Everyone gathered there that autumn evening nine years ago knew that the fortunes of their Southwest Michigan town were about to change forever—that, at least, was the hope.
Story Continued Below
Kalamazoo's spirits—much like its population—had been in precipitous decline. From 1970 to 2007, the city's population shrank 20 percent to just over 70,000. The sad, slow leak of manufacturing jobs had caused a sad, slow leak of the middle class. Poverty was nearly twice the national average. Within some pockets of city, the problems were startling: in Northside, a predominantly black neighborhood, the poverty rate was 37 percent—worse than even basket-case Detroit, two hours to the east.
As the city hollowed out, the neighborhoods near the charming downtown became zones of Rust Belt blight, and the once-proud Kalamazoo public schools suffered along with it; enrollment plummeted and money for the schools began to dry up under Michigan's enrollment-based funding formula. Kalamazoo's black students—more than 40 percent of the school system—performed so poorly on standardized tests that they were some of the lowest scorers in Michigan. And that was saying something given that Michigan's scores were pretty terrible according to practically every measurement.
Can free college save a city?
Meet the Austells, a family with two sons enrolled in the Promise, a $50 million program providing college tuition to Kalamazoo students.
Something had to change, and the plan that Brown announced that evening in 2005 figured to do just that. Quietly, a group of local philanthropists—who insisted on remaining anonymous, though most instantly suspected a group of homegrown billionaires whose fortunes had come from the locally based Stryker medical-devices firm—had come up with an idea to make a dramatic investment in the city's schools and students. Over the giddy din that filled the auditorium that night, Brown explained that the donors had vowed to pay for college for any student who attended the Kalamazoo schools from kindergarten on and then attended a public college in Michigan. Students who entered before freshman year in high school would get a portion of their college education paid for depending on the years they spent in the Kalamazoo school district. The program, which was to be called the Kalamazoo Promise, would pay for college regardless of grade point average and financial situation—according to one estimate, it could be worth more than $100,000 per student for four years.
The idea was one part radical social engineering: How better to change the life trajectory of the city's struggling urban poor than to send them to college? As economists have long known, the biggest single predictor of financial success in modern America is a college degree: those with bachelor's degrees earn an average of $15,000 more each year than those who merely graduate high school; those with associate's degrees make an average of $7,000 more each year. Increasingly, those with no higher education are the ones left behind. But the Kalamazoo Promise wasn't just a big idea about the new economics of education; the hope wasn't just to send more kids to college – but to turn around an entire town.
Several years earlier, Brown had been asked by several of the city's wealthy residents to join a discussion they'd been having about the troubling economic trends in Kalamazoo, and that conversation soon came around to the connection between education and the local economy. What would happen if the city had a very different labor pool, much more college educated or headed that way? As Brown explained it in 2005, it would surely give the whole city a boost. "Study after study indicates that an investment in education adds to the quality of our community," she said at the time. Families would arrive to take advantage of the program and thereby boost the tax base, educated students would return to town, luring employers offering new and better jobs.
Sure enough, as soon as the Promise was announced, the city embraced it as the ultimate urban revival plan. City leaders vowed that companies would flock to Kalamazoo, eager to scoop up its talented workforce. They predicted healthier schools, new subdivisions, and soaring property values. "When the Promise brings new families, we will have new homes for them!" Kalamazoo's mayor, Hannah McKinney, declared. Unbridled optimism radiated from national broadcasts on Good Morning America and the Today Show and in newspapers near and far. "It's only too bad," editorialized the Detroit Free Press, "that the means cannot be found to replicate the Kalamazoo Promise" in every community in the state. Soon, in fact, the idea would be embraced by dozens of cities around the country; the irresistible lure of a big education reform that promises big economic rewards has led towns from El Dorado, Arkansas, to New Haven, Connecticut, to create their own versions of the Promise, and everyone from President Obama to New York Yankees star Derek Jeter, an alum of Kalamazoo Central High, has been eager to embrace the program.

The shoes were originally designed to be worn for driving, back in the days when motoring was an elegant leisure activity. Today they work perfectly with most casual outfits, bringing to mind an effortless Italian style and laid-back air.
Designed with driving in mind, the rubber studs on the soles of the shoes provide traction whilst those on the back protect the leather as the driver works the clutch, accelerator and brake. The thin soles of the shoes allow a great feel for the pedals.
All Car Shoe loafers are handmade in Italy, with over 70 manufacturing phases and 800 manual operations per pair. 4.85 meters of English made, pitch-treated thread is used for each shoe, with 160 hand stitches in total. The uppers are perforated by hand.
The soft, naturally-tanned calfskin suede is cut by hand and offers good water resistance. Natural tanning takes longer than chemical curing, but is less harmful to the environment and more faithful to tradition. The rubber on the soles hails from the same process as tyre manufacturing, ensuring its durability.
The loafers are lined in leather and have cushioned, removable insoles to ensure the utmost comfort. The decorative laces are cut from the same suede as the body of the shoe, and pass through reinforced eyelets.
contemporary design"
Car Shoe was established in 1963 by the automobile enthusiast and cobbler
Mr Gianni Mostile, who was awarded a patent for his innovative leather driving moccasins by the Italian Ministry of Industry and Trade. Quality, innovation and craftsmanship have always been hallmarks of Car Shoe, which has found favour over the years with eminent figures including Mr John F Kennedy and Mr Giovanni Agnelli.
In 2001, Car Shoe was acquired by the Prada group, which set about reviving the brand's iconic 1960s logo, and reissuing some of the original designs, all of which are still produced in Italy to exacting standards. There are over 800 manual operations involved in the production of each pair, and only the best naturally-tanned leathers are used. The cushioned insoles, dimpled rubber soles and soft leathers all ensure that a pair of Car Shoe loafers are just as comfortable and practical as they are enduringly stylish.

VisionFund Zambia
is a leading microfinance institution established as a subsidiary of VisionFund
International, a global microfinance institution operating in Africa, Asia,
Latin America and the Middle East/Eastern Europe. VisionFund International is a
wholly owned subsidiary of World Vision International, a Christian relief
development and advocacy organization. Working together, we provide the
foundations for local economies to flourish in healthy and safe communities.
We provide financial services to people
who would otherwise have little or no access to credit. The well-being of
children, families and communities in Zambia is our main focus. We serve the country's poorest people by
helping them start or grow their own businesses through loans of just a few
hundred dollars.
VisionFund Zambia has been supporting clients since 2003.
Since then, we have grown to serve 15,000 active borrowers and impact 52,000 children and 17,300
World Vision originally began its microfinance and
savings programme in 1993, but quickly realised the global need for
microfinance and the immense role it played in reducing poverty. VisionFund International
was then founded in 2003 to manage its network of affiliated microfinance
organisations (MFIs).
Since then, VisionFund International has been lending
money to people in need of financial services, helping them to start or grow
sustainable businesses. Our clients use the income earned to build a better
future for their children, for example, through having clean water, nutritious
food, education and healthcare.
Zambia's economy has experienced strong growth in recent years, with GDP increase from 2005-10 of about 6% per year. Despite economic growth, poverty remains a significant problem in Zambia due to high HIV/AIDS cases, an overdependence of the economy on copper, and high-income inequality.
Poverty levels have remained high at 76% for the 61% of Zambians living in rural areas and 53% in urban areas. Poor people in Zambia live shorter lives, are uneducated and are often denied access to healthcare or financial credit.
It is estimated that only 34% of the population has access to financial services. This denies many the chance to earn a viable income. With such a low level of financial inclusion, the work of VisionFund Zambia is critical.
Nkosilathi Moyo joined VisionFund Zambia as the CEO in April 2009. He has over 14 years experience as a microfinance practitioner, consultant and regulator. Before joining VisionFund Zambia, Nkosilathi was a bank examiner with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. Nkosilathi has a Masters in Business Leadership from the University of South Africa, and a Bachelor of Social Science in Psychology from the University of Zimbabwe.
VisionFund Zambia is a wholly owned subsidiary of VisionFund International and World Vision, and has a board and management team.

institutions received over 50 awards and ratings from a collection of external
bodies. We are encouraged that our commitment to excellence and service to our

Panaji: Playing Langda Tyagi in Omkara was a turning point in Saif Ali Khan's Bollywood career, but director Vishal Bhardwaj says it was Aamir Khan who was keen to star in the role initially.
The movie, an adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello, was released in 2006. Bhardwaj says it was Aamir who inspired him to make the movie and he was willing to play the character of Langda Tyagi.
"There was a film we were planning to make, but it got shelved after a year because of some differences. During that time I used to tell Aamir about this character Langda Tyagi and Othello, so he encouraged me to do something on it and said he will play that role. He told me to come to him after a year when the script is ready but this time I did not want to fall into his trap so I went to Saif," Bhardwaj said on the sidelines of NFDC Film Bazaar here.
"I thought if Aamir is interested in some character it might have some potential. And I saw that hunger in Saif's eyes; he was desperate to shed that lover boy image," he added. Saif went onto win a Filmfare award for his portrayal of Langda Tyagi.
Bhardwaj is currently working on the release of his upcoming film Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola, starring Pankaj Kapur, Anushka Sharma and Imran Khan.

The Beauty Is In the Details
All photographs by Jenifer Jordan
Web presentation produced by Lucy Fitzgerald
A long-standing favorite of Traditional Home readers, designer Charles Faudree masters the art of home decorating by layering components which evoke memories of faraway places and bygone eras. By pairing unexpected patterns and textures, he composes comfortable, elegant rooms with personality to spare. Faudree accessorizes with mementos that have personal meaning, saying it is the details that "give a room its soul."
Known for bearing the standard for French style, here he also explores English, Asian, and Swedish influences, introducing contemporary pieces into the beguiling mix. He shares with us his inspirations in his book with Francesanne Tucker, Details (photography by Jenifer Jordan). The book is published by Gibbs-Smith. Click here.
Warm golden hues make a roaring fireplace all the more inviting. A pair of silver peacocks flank an urn on a flank a beautifully carved mantel. Two gilded French urns complement the hues in this inviting tasseled ottoman.
A symmetrical wallscape gives flight to the theme of this room, with antique prints of birds' nests framed in natural woods. An empty birdcage exudes optimism, while the subtle earth tones of the daybed make you feel like you are in your own little nest. A subdued cheetah pattern helps maintain a wild side: Every room, Faudree says, needs a little animal print.
Arranging personal items on a tabletop is the perfect way to display your favorite memories while adding color and playfulness to an otherwise unremarkable surface. Faudree organizes tablescapes with his most beloved mementos, saying, "It presents an opportunity to include memories of friends and adventures to be enjoyed on a daily basis."
Charles Faudree's affection for dogs is celebrated in this large oil painting overlooking a beautiful Mettlach urn. Two custom salt glaze pottery lamps accentuate the urn's design.
Rich blooms of color make for a lively library. Lush greenery brings to life a vibrant oil painting above an antique limestone Regency fireplace. The antique metal tureen on the mantel gives this room the feel of a garden greenhouse, while the candelabras on either side offer natural lighting, even on a gloomy day.
This floral toile feels right at home on a classic bergère. "You can buy fabulous antiques, but without the magic of the right fabrics to complement them, you've compromised their impact," Faudree advises. A rustic but shapely end table adds utility to this modest space.
The medallion print of the pillow creates a relationship with the motif of the Queen Anne wing chair on which it rests. By integrating colors from the chair's fabric, Faudree created an unexpected trim for the pillow to enhance the harmony.
The perfect hue of a fabric can bring out details that might otherwise be overlooked. Lovely soft blue upholstery accentuates the old azure finish of this chair, drawing the eye to its charming acanthus-leaf carving.
This open shelf display of plain white china has a gorgeous impact on this kitchen wall. The large size of the shelving is balanced out by the simplicity of its contents, making a wallscape that is not only eye-catching but also functional.
The warmth of the two candlestick lamps is enough to soften even the austere visage in the painting. The beautiful gilded frame adds richness to Lincoln's portrait. A tasseled key hanging from an antique chest accents the verticality of this arrangement.

Following the departure of manager Mauricio Pochettino to take up the Tottenham job, there has been mounting speculation the likes of World Cup duo Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw would follow the Argentine out of St Mary's Stadium
However, the Barclays Premier League club on Monday issued a statement insisting there was not about to be a mass exodus, despite confirming a number of offers had been received, with the likes of Manchester United said to be trailing full-back Shaw and Liverpool determined to land midfield playmaker Lallana ahead of the World Cup finals
"Southampton Football Club can confirm that we have received multiple offers for some of our players in the past weeks
This is a confirmation of the depth of the development that is ongoing in our academy and of the present standing of our first team within the Premier League
We are staying true to our plan and vision and, as a result, we have no need to accept any offers," read a statement on www.saintsfc.co.uk
"We are deep in the process of appointing a new manager who will continue to move our club forward
It remains our preference not to partake in any transfers until the new manager is in place
"Our scouting and recruitment department continues to monitor targets we have identified to improve our squad, and the new manager will have final input into our recruitment process."
Saints paid tribute to Lambert, who helped the south coast club return to the top flight from League One
The 32-year-old, currently out in Miami with England's World Cup squad, underwent a medical on Saturday after a fee of ?4million was agreed
Lambert is understood to have signed a two-year deal with the club who released him as a 15-year-old
"There may be circumstances under which the club will feel it is right for a player to move on
Those circumstances have to be right for the club and the player
This is the case with Rickie's move to Liverpool," Southampton's statement continued
"When Rickie Lambert requested to leave for Liverpool, the club felt it could not stand in the way of having him fulfil his boyhood dream of playing at home.
"It will be a big challenge to replace him and our intention is to source a quality replacement who will fill his shoes now, but also for many years to come."
Chairman Ralph Krueger added: "On behalf of the club, I would like to thank Rickie
He served with distinction and helped to take Saints from League One to the Premier League.
"Rickie has been a shining light in Saints' growth and will forever remain an icon in the history of the club
He leaves with the best wishes of everyone at Southampton and will always be welcome back at St Mary's."
Last week, Krueger claimed Southampton had been inundated with calls from some of the ''highest quality managers in Europe'' and that the club are in their strongest ever position despite Pochettino's exit, having finished eighth last season
Former FC Basel coach Murat Yakin and Dutchman Ronald Koeman are the current bookmakers' favourites to take the St Mary's hotseat, while former Swansea manager Michael Laudrup is also said to be in the running

NASHVILLE, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Mattias Ekholm notched the go-ahead score in the second period and Marek Mazanec had a solid game in goal Tuesday, hoisting Nashville over San Jose 3-1.
The Sharks' Joe Pavelski had forged a 1-1 tie with a score 6:49 into the middle period, but the Eckholm responded just 29 seconds later when his backhand shot from the right circle tipped off a Shark defender and into the net.
Mazanec made 26 saves as Nashville broke a three-game losing streak.
David Legwand provided a goal and an assist, and Roman Josi also scored for the Predators.
Patrick Marleau scored and Antti Niemi yielded three goals on 28 shots for the Sharks.

Grease service life and relubrication intervals
There are several interactive factors influencing grease service life, the effects of which are extremely complex to calculate for any particular application. It is, therefore, standard practice to use estimated grease service life based on empirical data.
The estimated relubrication interval for grease lubricated bearings is based on the estimated grease service life. Various methods can be used, however, SKF recommends the following to assist in making the best estimate for super-precision bearings.
Diagram 1 shows the relubrication interval tf for super-precision bearings in various executions. The diagram is valid under the following conditions:
- bearing with steel rolling elements
- horizontal shaft
- operating temperature ≤ 70 °C (160 °F)
- high-quality grease with a lithium thickener
relubrication interval at the end of which 90% of the bearings are still reliably lubricated (L10 life)
If necessary, the relubrication interval obtained from diagram 1 should be adjusted by correction factors depending on the bearing type, variant and operating conditions. The relubrication interval can be estimated using
Trelub = tf C1 C2 … C8
Trelub = tf C1 C2 … C8
The curves for angular contact ball and thrust ball bearings are for single bearings only. Values for matched sets should be adjusted according to the arrangement, number of bearings in the set and preload, by multiplying the relubrication interval by factor C1 (table 1). When sets comprising more than four bearings are used, contact the SKF application engineering service.
For hybrid bearings, the estimated grease service life can be revised by multiplying the calculated value for a bearing with steel rolling elements by the correction factor C2 (table 2).
Depending on the operating conditions, the relubrication interval should be multiplied by each of the relevant correction factors from C3 to C8 (table 3).
Other conditions, not included here, such as the presence of water, cutting fluids and vibration may also affect grease service life.
Machine tool spindles often operate under conditions of varying speed, load and operating temperature. If the speed/load spectrum is known and is sufficiently cyclic, the relubrication interval for each speed/load interval can be estimated as above. A relubrication interval for the total duty cycle can then be calculated from
tf tot = 100 / Σ(ai/tfi)
tf tot = 100 / Σ(ai/tfi)
|tf tot
|total relubrication interval [hours]
|part of the total cycle time at speed ni [%]
|relubrication interval at speed ni [hours]

The Dugout's Spring Training 2011 event continues this afternoon with the Atlanta Braves, and the very real, serious story of minor league manager Luis Salazar losing a body part because he never became one with The Matrix and couldn't dodge a line drive off the bat of Brian McCann. In case you are new to The Dugout, I would like to openly express how little I would like to lose a body part myself, regardless of the situation. I think that losing a body part would, probably, be a bad thing.
That said, here is a webcomic that manages to be ill-informed and somewhat theologically offensive at the same time. Today's Dugout follows, after the jump. Leave us a comment, would you? Unless you don't want to SEE … the Dugout on With Leather anymore.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 2: The Army of the West
The mid-1840s was a period of intense expansionism in the United States. Many Americans succumbed to the view that the country's "manifest destiny" was "to overspread and to possess the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and federated self-government entrusted to us."1 The principal obstacles to these ambitious plans were Mexico's northern provinces.
Texas had declared its independence in 1836 and successfully defended that independence at the decisive Battle of San Jacinto. The Republic of Texas, settled largely by Southerners, immediately requested admission to the United States as a slave state. Rather than risking war with Mexico and reopening the divisive question of the expansion of slavery into the territories, the government in Washington turned down the request. By 1844, ardent expansionist James Polk had been elected president on a platform calling for the annexation of Texas. In early 1845, Congress narrowly approved a joint resolution annexing Texas, which was then admitted to the Union as the 28th state.
Hoping to add Mexico's Pacific Coast ports to the United States, Polk sought first to purchase the Mexican provinces of New Mexico and California. When Mexico refused his offer, he sent American troops into an area along the Rio Grande in Texas claimed by both the U.S. and Mexico and waited. On April 25, 1846, Mexican forces tried to remove what they saw as intruders on Mexican soil. The resulting skirmish ended with the death of 11 Americans. On the basis of the shedding of "American blood on American soil," Polk declared that the U.S. and Mexico were at war.
American forces moved quickly into Mexican territory. In the summer of 1846, Stephen Watts Kearny and his 1,600-man Army of the West marched out of Fort Leavenworth, on the Missouri River, in the direction of New Mexico. Kearny elected to follow the tortuous older route of the Santa Fe Trail through the Raton Mountains. He chose the Mountain Branch for two reasons. Bent's Fort, a fortified trading post close to the Mexican border, offered a convenient base of operations, and more water was available on the Mountain Branch than on the notoriously dry Cimarron Desert in the middle of the summer. Kearny set out from Bent's Fort on August 2, followed by a train of wagons. Road crews went ahead to improve the trail through Raton Pass as best they could. The army crossed in one day with great difficulty. In many places they were forced to use ropes to raise the wagons over rocks. In the descent, the narrow trail wreaked havoc, and many wagons were destroyed.
Kearny expected armed opposition from Manuel Armijo, the provincial governor. Two thousand men were supposed to be entrenched in Apache Canyon, a narrow passage at the west end of Glorieta Pass. American traders in Santa Fe apparently convinced Armijo that resistance was useless. When Kearny's army arrived, Apache Canyon was deserted. One of Kearny's men commented that "had Armijo's heart been as stout as the wall of rock which nature gave him to aid in defense of his country, we might have sought in vain to force this passage."2
Kearny captured Santa Fe without a struggle and proclaimed the annexation of New Mexico. The Army of the West moved on to California. A brief rebellion that killed the newly appointed governor and other Americans in Taos was quickly put down. New Mexico, which included the present state of Arizona, continued under military rule until 1851, when it gained territorial status as part of the Compromise of 1850.
By 1848, the U.S. Army had occupied Mexico City and the Mexican War was over. In the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, Mexico ceded to the United States more than 900,000 square miles. The American government paid $15 million in exchange and agreed to take over all claims by American citizens against Mexico. Five years later, Mexico agreed to sell the United States an additional strip of land along the Gila River for $10 million. With the Gadsden Purchase, the present-day boundaries of the United States were complete, but the fierce debates about the War and about the possible extension of slavery into the new territories had sharpened sectional antagonisms that threatened to tear the country apart.
Questions for Reading 2
1. What were the causes of the Mexican War?
2. Why did Gen. Kearny decide to travel through Raton Pass?
3. What did Kearny expect in Apache Canyon? What actually happened?
4. What effect did the territorial expansion resulting from the war have on the United States?

Accessing a File's Version Resource Information
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
In my company I am developing and maintaining various software applications that are mutually independant, but interrelated. In some situations I need to check the version of some exe or dll, either to see if a certain functionality would be available or for simply displaying the version info. Also it can be very useful to have the opportunity to check a system Dlls (e.g. COMCTL32) version number on the fly.
The screenshot above shows the sample application I wrote to demonstrate the use of CFileVersionInfo and gives you an impression of what kind of data can be retrived from a file. You just have to select a file for which version information is available (eg. *.exe, *.dll or *.sys) either by clicking the "..." button and then selecting a file or by entering the path directly and then pressing Enter. The dialog then will display all available infos, if any. (The "Name" list box on the left and the related "Value" text box work just like the respective controls on the standard Windows "Version" tab from the "Properties" dialog...).
As I already mentioned, the use of CFileVersionInfo is very easy: First make sure that the version.lib library is added to the project settings. After declaring a variable of type CFileVersionInfo, you just have to call the ReadVersionInfo member function, which takes a path to a file as input parameter and returns TRUE in case of success. Another way is to call ReadVersionInfo and then calling the IsValid member function to see if the operation succeeded. Afterwards CFileVersionInfo's various attribute member functions can be called to retrieve the information you need.
The following is a code snippet from the ResView sample application that demonstrates this approach (m_info is a variable of type CFileVersionInfo):
void CResViewDlg::Refresh() { // get path name CString strFile; m_editFile.GetWindowText(strFile); // access version resource m_info.ReadVersionInfo(strFile); // in case of success ... if (m_info.IsValid()) { // ... refresh dialog data (or do something else) } else { // ... alert the user (or do nothing) } }
For a detailed list of information pieces that can be accessed by CFileVersionInfo member functions you can check out the sample application (especially the CResViewDlg::Refresh() member function) and/or examine the extensive and detailed comments sections (including hints for related information in the MSDN documentation where appropriate) I included with the CFileVersionInfo source files. (I decided to put the inline functions in a separate (*.inl) file for the sake of clearness).
Note: Because I wrote CFileVersionInfo mainly to check a file's version and to access some of the resouce's text entries, I did not test the code very extensively. So don't be too surprised if you find something in my code that's not working the way you expect it to do!

Bracket Briefing: Looking for Cinderella? Try the A-10
AT THE WATER COOLER: Every year, we search for it.
That diamond-in-the-rough team that we dub Cinderella.
BUBBLE WATCH:Who's in, who's out?
If we're trying to find a team to become this year's NCAA tournament darling, look no further than the Atlantic 10 Conference, a league that hasn't skipped a beat in spite of losing Xavier and Butler to conference realignment.
The A-10 more than likely will send six teams to the Big Dance, based on our latest bracketology projections. That's more than the AAC, ACC, SEC and Big East. Last year La Salle waltzed all the way to the Sweet 16 as a No. 13 seed.
The A-10 tournament tips off today, so here's a look at this year's sleepers.
Saint Louis (Projected No. 5 seed): The Billikens won the regular-season A-10 title for the second year in a row, although their finish was far from pretty. Still, this is a veteran team that can go far. Led by A-10 Player of the Year Jordair Jett and do-everything forward Dwyane Evans, this team has Elite Eight potential.
Virginia Commonwealth (Projected No. 6 seed): VCU knows how to wear the glass slipper, obviously (2011 anyone?), and finished as the runner-up in the A-10 for a second consecutive year. It seems the Rams have been flying under the radar but expect Shaka Smart's signature havoc-wrecking defense to catapult VCU into the Sweet 16.
UMass (Projected No. 6 seed): Coach Derek Kellogg has turned this program around and despite a topsy-turvy A-10 schedule, the Minutemen could reach the Elite Eight. Chaz Williams, a 5-9 sparkplug point guard, could turn into a March star.
George Washington (Projected No. 8 seed): The Colonials comfortably removed themselves from the bubble and have Sweet 16 potential. They're led by Maurice Creek and Kethan Savage, who is expected to return for the A-10 Tournament.
St. Joseph's (Projected No. 10 seed): The Hawks were relatively comfortable in making the NCAAs but two losses to end the regular season mean a win the the A-10 tourney would help their cause. Langston Galloway is arguably the league's best player and has great take-over abilities. Sweet Sixteen is St. Joseph's upside.
Dayton (Projected No. 11 seed): The Flyers have the most on the line as a bubble team trying to avoid a résumé blemish since losses to Southern California, Illinois State and Rhode Island already have weakened their credentials. Jordan Sibert leads this explosive team with Sweet 16 potential.
ALREADY DANCING: Four more teams won their conference tournaments on Monday, securing automatic bids to the NCAA tournament. 12 of 68 teams have earned trips to the Big Dance.
ON DECK: A look at the games to watch tonight. All times Eastern.

#1 Chicago Fire vs. #4 D.C. United – Eastern Conference semi-finals (total goals)
Chicago Fire 2, D.C. United 0 (Game 1)
RFK Stadium; Washington, D.C.
November 1, 2003
Coming off a regular season in which the team finally fulfilled winning a Supporter's Shield, the Fire traveled to D.C. to open up its first two-game aggregate playoff series with United at RFK Stadium.
From the first whistle the Fire never seemed to break much of a sweat and went ahead in the fourth minute when a headed clearance from a United defender fell for midfielder Andy Williams 25 yards from goal. The Jamaican international took the ball on the half-volley and one-timed his right-footed effort past Doug Warren and inside the left post.
WATCH: 2003 MLS Cup Playoff Run
In control throughout, the Fire frustrated United throughout the match and saw former players Hristo Stoitchkov and Dema Kovalenko pick up yellow cards for dissent and bringing the game into disrepute.
Holding a 1-0 lead late, the Fire would take a 2-0 lead back to Soldier Field when Zach Thornton's clearance was flicked on by Nate Jaqua into the path of Ante Razov. The Fire's all-time leading goal scorer calmly chipped the ball over the onrushing Warren in the 94th minute.
Chicago Fire 2, D.C. United 0 (Game 2)
Soldier Field; Chicago, Ill.
November 9, 2003
With D.C. needing two goals just to force extra time, the Fire again imposed their superiority in this match, putting United in the coffin with another early strike.
This time it was Willliams' countryman and 2003 Rookie of the Year Damani Ralph, who after a quick combination with Chris Armas outside the box, unleashed another long range blast, this time to the right of Warren, to give the Fire a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute.
The Fire would finish of United just after halftime when DaMarcus Beasley's cross from left bounced in the area before finding Razov who headed it back across goal for his second of the series, moving the team to the Eastern Conference final with a 4-0 aggregate victory.
#1 Chicago Fire 1, #2 New England Revolution 0 (asdet) - Eastern Conference Final
Soldier Field; Chicago, Ill.
November 14, 2003
Outshooting New England 20-7, the Fire clearly dominated the match from start to finish but a goal in regulation would elude the team at home.
Into extra time, it would be no one else but Chris Armas to provide the winner. Evan Whitfield worked his way up the right before pushing the ball to Justin Mapp at the endline.
The young winger centered a low cross that Ralph muffed before Armas tucked the ball in from close range, sending Soldier Field into pandemonium and the Fire back to MLS Cup for the third time in six seasons.
San Jose Earthquakes 4, Chicago Fire 2 – MLS Cup 2003
The Home Depot Center; Carson; Calif
November 14, 2009
The Fire pipped San Jose for the Supporters Shield during the regular season but it would be the Earthquakes that had the last laugh as they won their second MLS Cup in three seasons.
San Jose take the advantage as Ronnie Ekelund's fifth minute free kick and Landon Donovan's 39th minute finish took the Earthquakes into the break up 2-0.
After halftime, Andy Williams would feed DaMarcus Beasley into the box on the left and the young Fire winger tucked his effort inside the near post to cut the lead in half in the 49th minute.
Just as it looked like the Fire had momentum, San Jose would restore their two goal lead a minute later when Richard Mulrooney caught the backline sleeping after the goal.
The Fire would get some help back from the Earthquakes in the 54th minute when Chris Roner headed the ball into his own net.
Just two minutes later, Damani Ralph broke into the box on the left before being hauled down by Roner, forcing referee Brian Hall to point to the spot.
Despite battling sickness throughout the week, Fire leading striker Ante Razov stepped up to take the spot kick but was denied when his effort was denied by Pat Onstad's dive to the right.
With the missed opportunity, momentum seemed to shift back in San Jose's favor and as the Fire pushed for the equalizer, it would be Donovan who would put the game away with his second goal in the 71st minute.

LOS ANGELES, Aug 6: A married couple from Los Angeles has been jailed in Qatar on a charge of starving their 8-year-old daughter to death, according to a nonprofit legal group that has taken their case and is trying to draw publicity to what it claims is an unjust arrest.
Matt and Grace Huang were arrested shortly after their daughter, Gloria, died on January 15, said Alex Simpson, associate director of the nonprofit California Innocence Project. The Huangs adopted the child at age four from Ghana.
The couple's two other children, also adopted from Africa, have been banned from leaving the country and are being cared for by their grandmother, who is living with them there.
The Qatar Embassy did not return a call or email seeking comment yesterday.
According to the California Innocence Project, the Huangs moved to Qatar in 2012 so Matt Huang could work as an engineer on two major infrastructure projects associated with improvements for the 2022 World Cup.
Their daughter would periodically refuse food for several days and then binge eat or get food from bizarre sources, such as garbage cans, a behaviour her parents traced to her impoverished upbringing, according to the website freemattandgrace.Com.
When Gloria died, she was in one such episode and had not eaten in four days, leading Qatari officials to believe her parents starved her, Simpson said.
The unconventional family an American couple of Asian descent with three black children may have also complicated the situation because Qatar officials were unfamiliar with US international adoptions, he said.
An investigative report also raised questions about why the Huangs would adopt children who did not share their "hereditary traits" and raised concerns that the children were part of a human trafficking operation or were "bought" for organ harvesting, according to the website.
"That's a fairly uncommon thing in any culture and that may have contributed to it and to the concern that something untoward and nefarious was going on," Simpson said.
The California Innocence Project is housed at the San Diego-based California Western School of Law and works to free wrongfully convicted inmates. The group, founded in 1999, is one of 48 loosely affiliated Innocence Projects nationwide in the Innocence Network.
The David House Agency, which is handling public relations for the case, did not immediately respond to a call or email seeking comment. (Agencies)

One of the highlights of the evening was the 50/50 drawing won by Jane Simcock, who received half of the cash, with the other 50 percent to benefit the charity of her choice.

I am a practicing physician in the United States. I have observed significant reductions in both fasting and blood glucose and A1C levels, determined by independent laboratories, in my several of my patients on the Edotide plus therapy. I take Edotide plus myself, and also recommend it for my patients.
Just got results of my blood work back this morning. Good news-- my Hemoglobin AIC dropped from 7.1 from 3 months ago to 6.6 post Edotide. My doctor's nurse wants to recommend it (Edotide plus) to her friends and patients. I will continue to take it. I still want my AIC under 5.
I was always very tired and sleepy. Now, I am less tired and sleepy and more alert. I did a search on the internet and I read about its affects on insulin resistance and I think that it may have relevance to me. My older brother was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 and I have gained a lot of weight since moving back to Mississippi. So, I think that my feeling tired and the lack of energy maybe due to inefficient production and /or use of insulin. So, I have found Edotide Plus to be useful for me. I was always very tired and sleepy. Now, I am less tired and sleepy and more alert.
I am 74 year old; EdoTide plus has improved my sleep quality. I was wakening up 5-6 times during the night to urinate. But since I started the Edotide plus regimen, urinating has significantly improved with volume and flow rate. Thanks EdoTide plus!
Vernonia amygdalina extracts (EdoTide plus) is helping me. I am feeling much better and my MRI is showing a remarkable improvement…
* denotes required field
EdoTide's key ingredient is Vernonia amygdalina (VA) or commonly known as bitter leaf. VA is a member of the Asteraceae family, is a small shrub that is native to tropical Africa, VA is commonly called bitter leaf due to its bitter taste. The VA leaves have been consumed for hundreds of years either as a vegetable (macerated leaves in soup) or aqueous extracts for the maintenance of good health.

Navistar's International Corp.'s emergence as the suitor seeking an asset buyout of Monaco Coach Corp.'s RV interests represents an extension of the engine builder's growing stake in the industry – bolstered during the past several years through acquisition and strategic partnership.
Following an initial report of a pending buyout by a "major public company," Coburg, Ore.-based Monaco revealed Thursday (March 26) that Navistar had issued a non-binding letter of intent to purchase its RV-related assets and assume certain liabilities for $50 million. Monaco, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy March 5 after a nearly two-year run of "right-sizing" to match faltering demand, reported that the companies are looking to finalize the acquisition in mid-April.
"If we are able to reach agreement, the purchase of certain Monaco assets would fit our strategy of leveraging our assets to expand our diesel business, serve the end customer and would also complement our Workhorse Custom Chassis business," stated Jack Allen, president of Navistar's North American Truck Group, a U.S. market leader in large trucks that ranks second in the production of heavy Class A trucks with 13 North American plants.
The tentative deal expands Warrenville, Ill.-based Navistar's presence in the RV industry while also adding another layer to a diversified, global portfolio that includes production of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, military vehicles, diesel engines and related components for a variety of industries.
Navistar reported net income of $234 million on revenue of $2.97 billion for its fiscal first quarter, ended Jan. 31, including $955 million in military sales – notably a contract with the U.S. government to supply MRAP armored vehicles,
In fact, Navistar currently is a player in the RV sector, perhaps more so than most people realize, looking back over the past few years:
- In mid-2005, GVW Holdings Corp., Highland Park, Ill., sold its Workhorse Custom Chassis LLC and Uptime Parts LLC subsidiaries to International Truck and Engine Corp., an operating unit of Navistar. Workhorse, Union City, Ind., is a major manufacturer of chassis for Class A motorhomes, buses and walk-in trucks. Uptime Parts, located in West Chicago, Ill., and Reno, Nev., supplies replacement and aftermarket parts for the RV, truck and bus markets that Workhorse serves.
- Monaco in January of 2007 formed a joint venture with International to manufacture rear-engine diesel chassis. Monaco and International own 49% and 51%, respectively, of the newly formed company — Custom Chassis Products LLC. Production continues at Monaco's 210,00-square-foot Roadmaster chassis plant in Elkhart, Ind., which Monaco said was not impacted by its bankruptcy announcement.
- Navistar chairman, president and CEO Daniel C. Ustian has been a Monaco board member since 2003 and has aggressively pursued complementary markets and businesses for Navistar's truck and engine lines, according to The Wall Street Journal.
- Navistar engines to date have been used in a number of motorhomes, including Damon Motor Coach's fuel-efficient 31 ½-foot Avanti Class A.
