This article is part of our "Business Startup Guide" – a curated list of our articles that will get you up and running in no time!
Take a second to get into context here. If your plan is a plan to be presented to outsiders, then you need to explain the type of business you're in. You'll be expected to explain the general state of your industry and the nature of the business, especially if your plan is going outside your company to banks or investors. And if your plan is for your own management purposes, you should still be very sure—whether you have to prove it to others or not—that you know your market.
Whether you're a service business, manufacturer, retailer, or some other type of business, you want to know your industry inside and out. Read on for the kind of information you have to know very well, even if you don't go to the trouble of writing it all out. And if you're writing for outsiders with a formal business plan document, then you should do an industry analysis, describing:
- Industry participants
- Distribution patterns
- Competition and buying patterns
Industry analysis
Everything in your industry that happens outside of your business will affect your company. The more you know about your industry, the more advantage and protection you will have.
A complete business plan discusses general industry economics, participants, distribution patterns, factors in the competition, and whatever else describes the nature of this business to outsiders.
The internet has had an enormous impact on the state of business information. Finding information isn't really the problem anymore, after the information explosion and the huge growth in the internet beginning in the 1990s and continuing in the 21st century. Even 10 or 15 years ago, dealing with information was more a problem of sorting through it all than of finding raw data. That generality is more true every day. There are websites for business analysis, financial statistics, demographics, trade associations, and just about everything you'll need for a complete business plan.
Industry participants
You should know who else sells in your market. You can't easily describe a type of business without describing the nature of the participants. There is a huge difference, for example, between an industry like broadband television services, in which there are only a few huge companies in any one country, and one like dry cleaning, in which there are tens of thousands of smaller participants.
This can make a big difference to a business and a business plan. The restaurant industry, for example, is what we call "pulverized," meaning that it, like the dry cleaning industry, is made up of many small participants. The fast food business, on the other hand, is composed of a few national brands participating in thousands of branded outlets, many of them franchised.
Economists talk of consolidation in an industry as a time when many small participants tend to disappear and a few large players emerge. In accounting, for example, there are a few large international firms whose names are well known and tens of thousands of smaller firms. The automobile business is composed of a few national brands participating in thousands of branded dealerships. In computer manufacturing, for example, there are a few large international firms whose names are well known, and thousands of smaller firms.
Distribution patterns
Products and services can follow many paths between suppliers and users. Explain how distribution works in your industry—is this an industry in which retailers are supported by regional distributors, as is the case for computer products, magazines, or auto parts? Does your industry depend on direct sales to large industrial customers? Do manufacturers support their own direct sales forces, or do they work with product representatives?
Some products are almost always sold through retail stores to consumers, and sometimes these are distributed by distribution companies that buy from manufacturers. In other cases, the products are sold directly from manufacturers to stores. Some products are sold directly from the manufacturer to the final consumer through mail campaigns, national advertising, or other promotional means.
In many product categories there are several alternatives, and distribution choices are strategic. Encyclopedias and vacuum cleaners are traditionally sold door-to-door, but are also sold in stores and direct from manufacturer to consumer through radio and television ads.
Many products are distributed through direct business-to-business sales, and in long-term contracts such as the ones between car manufacturers and their suppliers of parts, materials, and components. In some industries, companies use representatives, agents, or commissioned salespeople.
Technology can change the patterns of distribution in an industry or product category. The internet, for example, changed options for software distribution, books, music, and other products. Cable communication is changing the options for distributing video products and video games.
Distribution patterns may not be as critical to most service companies, because distribution is normally about physical distribution of specific physical products such as a restaurant, graphic artist, professional services practice, or architect.
For a few services, distribution may still be relevant. A phone service or cable provider, or an Internet provider, might describe distribution related to physical infrastructure. Some publishers may prefer to treat their business as a service rather than a manufacturing company, and in that case distribution may also be relevant.
Competition and buying patterns
It is essential to understand the nature of competition in your market. This is still in the general area of describing the industry or type of business. Explain the general nature of competition in this business, and how the customers seem to choose one provider over another. What are the keys to success? What buying factors make the most difference—is it price? Product features? Service? Support? Training? Software? Delivery dates? Are brand names important?
In the computer business, for example, competition might depend on reputation and trends in one part of the market, and on channels of distribution and advertising in another. In many business-to-business industries, the nature of competition depends on direct selling, because channels are impractical. Price is vital in products competing with each other on retail shelves, but delivery and reliability might be much more important for materials used by manufacturers in volume, for which a shortage can affect an entire production line.
In the restaurant business, for example, competition might depend on reputation and trends in one part of the market, and on location and parking in another.
In many professional service practices the nature of competition depends on word of mouth, because advertising is not completely accepted. Is there price competition between accountants, doctors, and lawyers? How do people choose travel agencies or florists for weddings? Why does someone hire one landscape architect over another? Why choose Starbucks, a national brand, over the local coffee house? All of this is the nature of competition.
Main competitors
Do a very complete analysis of your main competitors. Make a list, determining who your main competitors are. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each? Consider their products, pricing, reputation, management, financial position, channels of distribution, brand awareness, business development, technology, or other factors that you feel are important. In what segments of the market do they operate? What seems to be their strategy? How much do they impact your products, and what threats and opportunities do they represent?
What did you change about your business plan based on your industry analysis? Would you have done anything differently?

Munich: Former Bayern Munich boss Jupp Heynckes has ruled himself out of the running to be Barcelona`s new head coach.
The 68-year-old, who won the treble with the Bavarians last season and masterminded a 7-0 aggregate thrashing of Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, has been mentioned by the media and Blaugrana supporters as a potential successor to Tito Vilanova, who resigned due to health issues on Friday.
However, the one-time Real Madrid trainer dismissed suggestions he would be stepping back into the limelight at Camp Nou this coming campaign and insisted his days of coaching are over.
"I`m keeping myself busy with hobbies and sport. I have my animals and a huge garden," he told Sky Sports News HD. "I think it would be impossible for me, after working at Bayern Munich, now to take over a new club.
"I have understood the signals my body has been giving me and I am feeling good, enjoying the time I have for myself."
Celta Vigo coach Luis Enrique and Newell`s Old Boys boss Gerardo Martino have emerged as favourites to replace Vilanova after early suggestions that current Barca assistant Rubi and experienced Liga coach Marcelo Bielsa were in the running for the role.

text: In 336 B.C., Alexander the Great became the leader of the Greek kingdom of Macedonia. By the time he died 13 years later, Alexander had built an empire that stretched from Greece all the way to India. That brief but thorough empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia. Historians call this era the "Hellenistic period." (The word "Hellenistic" comes from the word Hellazein, which means "to speak Greek or identify with the Greeks.") It lasted from the death of Alexander in 323 B.C. until 31 B.C., when Roman troops conquered the last of the territories that the Macedonian king had once ruled.

The more consumer demand for change there is, the faster McDonald's will act, and the stronger their commitment will be. You can help by taking action today. Sign our petition calling on the CEO of McDonald's to commit to phasing routine antibiotic use out of their entire meat supply chain.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that at least 23,000 people die every year from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and warns that the widespread overuse of antibiotics on factory farms is putting our health at risk.
Approximately 70 percent of medically important antibiotics sold in the U.S. are for use on factory farms. We know we can get factory farms to stop misusing our life-saving medicines if their biggest customers commit to buying meat that's been raised without routine antibiotics.
Over the past few years, we've helped McDonald's, Subway, KFC and others to commit to stop buying chicken raised on antibiotics important to human medicine. The result? In the near future, we estimate that nearly half the chicken in this country will be raised without the routine use of medically important antibiotics. We're talking billions of chickens a year.

BY KERRY REID | December 17, 2012 | Lifestyle
The Ballet unveiled a $950,000 redesign of The Nutcracker in 2007.
Artistic Director Roy Kaiser performing with former soloist Robin Preiss.
Former principal dancers Barbara Sandonato and Alexei Yudenich.
Pennsylvania Ballet founder Barbara Weisberger.
Ian Hussey as Cavalier with former principal dancer Arantxa Ochoa.
Barbara Weisberger still speaks fondly of the tree that became known to some as "Barbara's Folly."
When the founder and former artistic director of Pennsylvania Ballet staged the company's first production of The Nutcracker back in 1968, the centerpiece was a huge Plexiglas tree, in keeping with Weisberger's desire for an original and modern take on the story. "I would not have any candy canes or anything like that," Weisberger recalls—though her desire to also have Plexiglas stalagmites onstage was shot down when her staff pointed out, "[Those could] kill someone!"
That tree serves as a fitting metaphor for Pennsylvania Ballet's journey with the holiday classic. For one thing, notes Weisberger, since Plexiglas was manufactured by a local company, Pennsylvania Ballet got a healthy corporate donation for that first production.
The pas de deux between art and commerce and between tradition and change runs through the Pennsylvania Ballet's history with The Nutcracker. The company, which celebrates its golden anniversary in 2013, also marks 25 years this holiday season with George Balanchine's The Nutcracker—the crown jewel in the canon created by the legendary choreographer and founder of the New York City Ballet. From December 8–30, Pennsylvania Ballet presents 23 performances of Balanchine's gem at the Academy of Music.
The Pennsylvania Ballet is one of only seven companies worldwide licensed to perform the Balanchine version, which premiered at NYCB in 1954. But like the magical toy itself, there have been a lot of transformations for Pennsylvania Ballet's Nutcracker over the years. Even though Weisberger was a Balanchine protégée and the first child dancer he ever trained—"he was my professional father and I adored him," says Weisberger—the company didn't start using his version in full until 1987, after she had left Pennsylvania Ballet.
One thing that remains constant is ticket sales. Though the terms "bovine" and "ballet" are rarely mentioned in the same sentence, few ballet companies would deny that The Nutcracker in any form is a cash cow. Pennsylvania Ballet executive director Michael Scolamiero says that 44 percent of the company's annual earned income (which includes investments from endowments and revenues from the School of Pennsylvania Ballet, along with ticket sales) comes from The Nutcracker. Last year, the show sold 37,568 tickets, adding $2.175 million to the company coffers. For a company that operates on an annual budget of $11 million and is gearing up for a January move into the $17.5 million Louise Reed Center for Dance—a new facility on Broad Street that brings the administrative, rehearsal, and school facilities under one roof—The Nutcracker provides a lot of fiscal sugarplums.
Given its popularity, one might expect that The Nutcracker also serves as a cultural gateway drug, turning families into repeat annual audiences for the show and into patrons for other offerings. But Scolamiero says that over half the audience for Nutcracker is new every year, and many of them don't see other shows in the season. "It's great that there's this churn, and you get a lot of new faces coming into the theater," he says. But, he adds, "when the [children] reach a certain age, especially boys, they stop looking at ballet as an option."
To counter that tendency, the company promotes family matinees for other shows, such as their upcoming production of Balanchine's A Midsummer Night's Dream in March. For The Nutcracker, the company also offers add-on options, such as teas with the Sugar Plum Fairy herself. Scolamiero acknowledges that patron information captured through Nutcracker ticket sales "is a nice list to take advantage of, but we need to do more with it."
Changes in choreography and design have kept patrons and artists on their toes over the years. The 1968 version mostly used the Balanchine second act, but the first act was more streamlined and included work by Robert Rodham, a student of Weisberger's, who created the pas de deux for the Snow Queen and King, as well as the dance of the Snowflakes.
Budgetary concerns played a role in that first Nutcracker. Weisberger felt that the company's smaller budgets might not allow for the "grand, elegant" Balanchine aesthetic that audiences familiar with NYCB expected. By 1987, then-artistic director Robert Weiss, a longtime dancer with NYCB, decided it was time to go the full Balanchine.
Current artistic director Roy Kaiser, who danced The Nutcracker with the Pennsylvania Ballet every year from 1979–1992 before assuming his current role in 1995, identifies two enduring strengths of the Balanchine version. First, the principal children's roles are performed by child dancers, rather than youthful-looking adults. Says Kaiser, "It is kind of a children's story, one told through ballet. The original story [by E.T.A. Hoffmann] is kind of dark, but the way it has evolved as a ballet is as a children's story, so I think it's appropriate to have the children in it." And, adds Kaiser, "The other thing is that Balanchine was such a musician. His choreography came from music. And the [Tchaikovsky] score is just fantastic. Thank God it is as good as it is."
Ongoing seasonal hits like The Nutcracker also generate high revenues because they don't require building costumes and sets from scratch every year. But even classics need face-lifts.
In 2007, Pennsylvania Ballet unveiled a new look for the 20th anniversary of the Balanchine Nutcracker, with sets by Canadian-born designer Peter Horne and costumes by Judanna Lynn (herself a former dancer). The focus was on a regional flavor, so Horne's set suggests a Federal-style mansion familiar to Philadelphia audiences. It didn't come cheaply—the company spent $950,000 on the redesign, which included 185 costumes. The most expensive costume Lynn designed in the show belongs to Mother Ginger, who wears an 40-pound dress—big enough to accommodate the children who scamper out from underneath it—that cost $10,000. Luckily, that redesign came before the economic collapse of 2008. Scolamiero says, "When we unveiled the new production in 2007, we expected it to do really well that year and then fall back a little, and it did; 2009 and 2010 were a little off, and that's because of the economy."
For dancers, a different kind of transformation and stamina is required, since many of them perform multiple roles. Principal dancer Ian Hussey, who has been dancing in the Pennsylvania Ballet's Nutcracker since age nine, has played nearly every male role. He now dances the Sugar Plum Fairy's Cavalier. "It's very difficult when you're doing the third show of the day on a three-show Sunday. It's mentally and physically tough," says Hussey. But he also notes "The guys have it a lot easier. The girls have it rough. It's a lot of dancing, and very grueling."
For soloist Gabriella Yudenich, dancing the Sugar Plum Fairy is a childhood dream come true. Her parents, Barbara Sandonato and the late Alexei Yudenich, both danced with the Pennsylvania Ballet—her mother was in fact the first dancer hired in 1963—and her older brother danced the prince the first year they did the Balanchine version. "I watched him do it and I wanted to be in the party scene so badly, but I was too little," says Yudenich. Now, when she dances the Sugar Plum Fairy herself, Yudenich says "The choreography is so breathtaking and the music…. I always go into it feeling fresh. I never think 'Oh, this again.'"
Weisberger, who has seen The Nutcracker more times than anyone else associated with Pennsylvania Ballet, attributes its enduring appeal to the fact that, though the music is "so familiar and beloved," the dancing itself transforms with the unique physical poetry the performers bring.
"Unlike other performing arts, even theater, dance is so ephemeral," says Weisberger. "It's there, and then it's not. You can see the same ballet, but it is a completely different thing when you see [a new] dancer."

Ryan Braun: Setting His Sights As An ALL-Time Brewers Great
Like us on Facebook hereFollow @mlbreports
Thursday January 3rd, 2013
Ben Dobson ( Baseball Writer and Brewers Correspondent): Follow @brewerpride06
1982….Mention this date to any Brewers fan and immediately you will witness a smile and a nod of the head. Very little has to be said that isn't communicated with that simple smile and subtle shake of the head. Harvey's Wallbangers; Cecil Cooper, Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, Gorman Thomas and Ben Oglivie to name a few. Coming off a (3-2) AL Division Series loss to the Yankees in 81′ the Brewers stormed in to 82′ ready to make amends. The Brewers began 82′ slowly going (23-24), thus Harvey Kuenn replaced Buck Rodgers. The Brewers made history going forward posting a (72-43) record leading the league in runs and HRs. This team poured it all out on the field before losing in Game 7 of the World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals. Yount, Molitor and Cooper will forever be household names associated with the epic '82 team.
Fast-Forward 26 years….2008 & 2011….The Brewers finally made it back to the postseason. This time the club was led by Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Corey Hart and Rickie Weeks. These were both magical years but neither year ended in a World Series appearance. The constant and consistent cog of these two playoff teams was Ryan Braun. The "Hebrew Hammer" lead the team in batting both playoff years and put up power numbers as well as speed numbers. This perennial All-Star continues to perform as one of the best in the game, but how does Ryan Braun compare to the 82′ heroes of Yount, Molitor and Cooper. The following statistics were taken during 6 consecutive seasons for each player (only exception is the 84′ season for Molitor who was limited to 13 games, 85′ season was substituted).

"The need for this database reflects how far we have come in the last 10 years," said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. "The registry will help consumers and health care providers determine the best options for genetic testing, which are becoming more and more common and accessible."
During the 60-day comment period, NIH is requesting comments on:
Up to 770 labs could submit data for as many as 9,360 genetic tests to GTR, according to NIH's analysis of data from the GeneTests Laboratory Directory, the most comprehensive listing of labs that provide genetic tests. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of NIH's National Library of Medicine, administers the GeneTests Laboratory Directory. NCBI will also administer GTR with oversight from the NIH director's office. NIH believes it makes more sense - both technically and financially - to develop GTR than to reengineer GeneTests, which was not designed to support the range of test technologies that the registry plans to cover or to contain a detailed amount of data for each test.
As GTR is now configured, submitters would enter information about a genetic test once, add new tests on a continual basis and update test information once a year. GTR submitters would include clinical labs, test manufacturers, researchers and entities that report and interpret tests performed elsewhere. GTR would include both U.S. and international submissions.
In order to participate in the voluntary program, the submitter would, at minimum, answer 31 questions about each genetic test, with the option of answering 85 additional questions. NIH estimates it would take submitters an average of 30 minutes per test to provide the minimum information and an estimated 2.5 hours per test to answer the additional questions.
NIH proposed GTR in March 2010 based on recommendations from the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Genetics, Health and Society (SACGHS). The working group that made the recommendations in April 2008 included NIH policy experts, including National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) staff.
"The registry should offer a one-stop shop for health care providers interested genetic tests," said Greg Feero, M.D., Ph.D., special advisor to the NHGRI director for genomic medicine. "GTR will enhance the ability of all health care providers to take appropriate advantage of the burgeoning number of genetic tests available for common and rare diseases as well as pharmacogenomics." Pharmacogenomics is the science that examines how the genes we inherit from our parents influence how we respond to drugs. Health care providers can then anticipate which drugs will and won't cure a specific person. Providers can also use the information to avoid prescribing medication that won't help and might even hurt.
Genetic testing encompasses an array of techniques, including the analysis of human DNA, RNA and proteins. Testing can be used to detect genetic mutations associated with a specific disease or condition and for non-clinical uses such as paternity testing and criminal forensics. Genetic tests can also be performed to confirm a suspected diagnosis, to predict the possibility of future illnesses, to detect the presence of a carrier state in unaffected individuals whose children may be at risk and to predict responses to therapy. Genetic tests are also performed to screen for genetic mutations in fetuses, newborns and embryos.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates tests that are sold as diagnostic devices if they are manufactured by one company and sold as a kit to a lab for genetic testing. FDA does not regulate tests that are both manufactured and performed by the same lab. Because of this regulatory exception, some genetic testing services are marketed directly to the medical community and public without FDA regulation or oversight. The registry intends to fill this gap.
To facilitate the research process, the registry's genetic test data will be integrated with information in other NIH/NCBI genetic, scientific and medical databases.
"This is an ambitious initiative," said William Gahl, M.D., Ph.D., NHGRI clinical director. "The increased accessibility to information on genetic testing, whether histological, biological or molecular, will be extremely helpful for the genetics community of basic researchers, patients and advocacy groups."

The Hartwells filed Homestead application on October 16, 1871 and started working the land to "prove it up" as the saying went. Charles paid the sum of eighteen dollars to start the homestead process.
One of the first things the settler must do build is a house… the Hartwell's house was described as "of logs, story & half, board floor & shingle roof. One door & one window." Improvements to the property were described: "20 Rasberry (sic) bushes and 5000 Strawberry plants."
This description was given on September 18, 1875 by Calista Hartwell, widow of Charles W. Hartwell. But wait! A widow? No…according to Grace Hooper's "Pioneer Notes", Charles left the family shortly after their arrival at South Arm in 1870. And it's documented that Charles married Susan Winkworth August 2, 1874. Here's the text from "Pioneer Notes" as written:
"In 1870 a boat drew in to the dock at the end of South Arm bringing Charles and Calista Hartwell and two children to land. They had taken up a soldier's homestead nine miles south and west in Antrim County. In a short time, Mr. Hartwell left home and soon married another woman. Shocked and grieved, Mrs. Hartwell was confronted with the necessity of providing a living for her children, but she was a plucky woman and had a fair education so rose to meet the occasion. She worked at dressmaking and millinery and was appointed postmistress at South Arm and carried on for three years. Learning that she could prove up the homestead, she undertook the project and received the deed in her own name. It was required that she occupy the land a certain number of days each month, so she walked seven miles to the Kinney's and they went with her ahead to break a trail through the deep snow. The women followed, each carrying necessary things…….she had made her way alone for eight years."
Homestead application dated October 16, 1871, signed by Charles Hartwell.
Final papers granting the homestead to Calista Hartwell, dated January 20, 1876.
Plat of Echo Twp, Hartwell homestead highlighted and named "W.H. McAllister." Calista married Wilson McAllister subsequent to receiving the homestead.

Hype Publicity Inc. needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 106 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
"Machete Genocide is an educational documentary to increase awareness about the genocide in Rwanda. The movie will feature interviews with both survivors of the genocide and rock musicians. The branding will be used in the movie, on the website and possibly on the principal artwork. We are not certain when or if the movie will ever be broadcast or distributed but we plan for the best; it may only be available across the internet."
Machete Genocide
Thegenocide in Rwanda took between 800,000 and 1 million lives in about 100 days.The movie has undertaken to interview survivors that escaped certain death and machetedismemberment by Hutu extremists. It was a violent and tragic event that tookplace and many people in Africa and worldwide feel that the world didn't seemto notice or do anything to stop the murders. In order that we can reach aslarge an audience as possible with this message, and hopefully to forever stop atrocitieslike this from happening, we will be interviewing popular punk and metal bands tohear their messages for the youth and their ideas to spread the message ofpeace and hope. The movie, if successfully completed, may feature variousdistribution methods and the contest winner will sign a copyright transfer thatwill be attached to the movie.
The target group is 14 – 19 year old youth
The design will hopefully incorporate the following elements but this is amovie for youth and we encourage you to really get your creativity flowing onthis one... We will also need DVD covers, more poster art, and so on, so ifthat affects your designs, go wild!
APRIL 11 UPDATE - This is the best article on the genocide that I could find: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwanda_genocide and the most accurate machete form what I have learned is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:M…_blade.jpg. I am posting parts of this message to the contest brief to enhance understanding amongst the designers. Thanks for your great work and have a wonderful day.
NOTE - There is no representation similar to Anti-Flag (the rock band) I am including 5 design samples that contain elements that may better showcase the vision, I went through about 700 logos and these are by no means as heavy as the theme of the film or meant to represent it all, they do however feature very clean graphics with high impact. I hope they inspire you.
***I started by putting comments beside each logo and then decided that those may tend to direct your hands...
- A Chinese machete. Pleasecheck Wikipedia to learn what style of machete was used.
- Eye catching and Iconoclastic
- Should look good on a DVD cover
- May use the new Rwandan flag or not
- May use a "wood-block"style from Russian propaganda art
- Incorporate rockstyles and artwork like those found by Anti-Flag
- The movie ispolitical, it can incorporate aspects of empowerment, strength, courage, risingup
- Colors can be boldand shocking, red blood, burning yellow sun
- Can include rock androll references, music notes, guitar, musician outline
- a holiday look
- anything that looks old fashioned or dated
- anything that detracts to heavily form the very serious subject matter; should be a cross of art, culture, and political icon

How to Default an LOV with its first valuePosted by HusainD
Its a frequent requirement to default the first value of LOV when a new record is created.
Heres how to make it happen: DOWNLOAD
In the following example when a new department is created the first location is defaulted. User can then change location. This example can be extended to default only in certain conditions.
Now since all business logic is in EO the logic needs to be written in EO.
The VO that we would create for LOV on locationId attribute is added as accessor in DepartmentsEO.
On LocationId add the groovy expression as follows.
The main logic is in the defaultLocationId() where we use the accessor VO to get the first record and set its locationId
public Number defaultLocationId() {
Number locId = (Number)getAttributeInternal(LOCATIONID);
if (locId == null) {
LocationsVORowImpl locRow = (LocationsVORowImpl)getLocationsVO1().first();
if (locRow != null) {
locId = locRow.getLocationId();
return locId;
Create a LOV on locationId attribute. Notice that the view accessor on EO is visible in VO and can be used on LOV.
Create a new page with a form based on DepartmentsVO. Also drop CreateNew, Commit and Rollback actions as buttons.
Thats it the groovy expression will do the trick.

Kitchen Spotlight: Lori's Serene Farmhouse
Look at this simply lovely farmhouse kitchen from Lori in Long Island. She has a busy life, with three kids (and an awfully cute dog, too) but she wanted her kitchen to be a place of serenity. She just finished renovating this old farmhouse kitchen on a budget, and she used a mixture of modern, serene colors and old-fashioned industrial fittings. Take a look, and find out more about how Lori likes to cook in this kitchen.
Calm, serene, and simple is my style. Busy crazy, hetic is my life. I live on the wonderful North Fork of Long Island, about two hours east of New York. I am a small shop owner, and mother of three. My goal was to design a kitchen for our family of five. It needed to be open, warm and simple with a little industrial flair.
The space had to be kid and dog friendly. Oh — did I mention that my budget was under 10K. Here are the photos of my farmhouse kitchen. I am pretty happy with how it turned out and so is my husband's wallet.
Kitchen Tour Questionnaire
1. What's your cooking style?
Simple, healthy, quick.
2. What inspires your kitchen?
Calming colors, open feeling, industrial elements.
3. Favorite tool or element?
My slow cooker.
4. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received?
Buy what's in season.
5. Biggest challenge in your kitchen?
Cooking an additional meal every day for my vegetarian 12 year old daughter.
6. Biggest indulgence:
A good bottle of wine
7. Dream tool or splurge:
All-Clad pots and pans. I purchased them one at a time – it took me three years to get a nice assortment.

• Kitchen island is an old hardware store counter – I had a galvanized top fabricated for $125
• Counter tops are faux marble formica.
• Lighting is vapor proof industrial lighting
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful kitchen, Lori!

text: I assume the Break-In-Cycle is the best way to rejuvenate them. Would a standard Cycle(s) after a Break-In achieve similar results but save time? I am currently testing/doctoring about 16 1600 Rayovacs and have been doing so for 2 weeks now! Also should a Break-In be run on new Eneloops? Last question, I have been discharging my AA's at 300 and AAA @100 prior to starting the Break-In's (thus adding to the long times). Is this a good practice and should I use the Discharge in the future after I'm finished doctoring?The break-in cycle may revive the cell or at least give it some more capacity.

Photo Assumption the kid with the side-eye
This photo cracks me up.
Many of you email consistently asking for more Jon Stewart. He's on your Five Lists. Totally down with that. Stewart's not papped very often though. Much as you love him, Jon doesn't sell. And unless he does something wicked and crazy – not likely – he's not going to land on the cover of a tabloid magazine. If he did, you wouldn't feel the same way.
When there are pictures though, I will post them. Like the other day he took his kid to the Knicks game. They had a great time sitting front row by Jessica Alba who high fived the Young Stewart.
Check out the boy behind him. Check out his face. His face is killing me. Photo Assumption says he's a fan of Glenn Beck? That's obviously not the truth. But little dude is pissed about something. And his side-eye, crossed arms combination is certainly an impressive accomplishment, though maybe too blatant to be considered true art, which is what Miss Zahara Jolie-Pitt might say if given the opportunity to critique.

Available To: Faculty, Staff, Students
The goal of the university switchboard is to direct callers to the needed destination with the fewest connections along the way. The switchboard operators provide current information on faculty, staff, and department telephone numbers. We receive an average of 11,217 calls each month. Operators answer a variety of inquiries from local, state, national, and international callers that run the gamut from asking the correct time to requesting paternity testing for dogs. The most common question of all, "Are classes cancelled due to weather conditions?" is directed to the appropriate extension.
Emergency or weather related conditions for the NAU Mountain Campus please dial (928) 523-0007 for updated information.
Hours of operations for Directory and Information Support are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday during fall and spring semesters, and 7:30am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday during summer sessions. The NAU switchboard number is 928-523-9011.


text: I've completed a substantial load of 0L prep - read all the E and E's for my 1st semester courses, the Acing Series, Flash Cards, Practice Exam Hypos LEEWS, Law Preview, Delaney, etc. Most would say doing this is a bad idea, others will say it'll be helpful. Either way, doing this before law school even starts has helped me to learn more about myself. Anyone else doing 0L before law school starts in August?

Oct. 30, 2005
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - The women's cross country team ran to a fourth place finish in the 10 team field on Saturday afternoon at the NEWMAC Championships held at Smith College. Freshman Elizabeth Finn continued her fantastic first year as she placed fourth of 132 harriers, just 8.30 seconds behind second place Megan Brousseau of Wheaton College. Wellesley College, winner of five NEWMAC championships since 1998, won the race with five runners finishing in the top 14. Third place finisher freshman Relena Ribbons led the Wellesley pack, as she garnered NEWMAC Rookie of the Year honors. Senior standout Meg Young of Springfield College was the individual winner and the NEWMAC Runner of the Year. She completed the 5k course in 18:39.30, 24.40 seconds ahead of the runner-up.
With her fourth place finish, Elizabeth Finn earned a spot on the NEWMAC All-Conference Team. Coming in behind Finn in the top 30 for the Engineers were junior Jessie Thompson (17th), sophomore Stephanie Flavin (26th), senior Betsy Eames (27th) and freshman Christa Humbert (30th).
The Engineers next compete at the New England Division III Regional Championships in Springfield, Mass. on October 12th.

The Mad Hatter is not happy. LSU coach Les Miles spent his offseason complaining at the crossover schedule his team got – tough – and the crossover schedule Alabama got – not so tough.
LSU and quarterback Zach Mettenberger are not happy about the season.
(Cal Sport Media via AP Images)
This week, in the wake of his team being upset at Ole Miss and falling to 3-2 in league play, 6-2 overall – bye-bye national championship dreams, bye-bye SEC championship dreams – Miles opened his weekly press conference with this gem:
"Good afternoon. We went into nine straight weeks of playing. We're the only BCS major college conference team to do that. The only time we exceeded that number was in 2005, 11 straight weeks in a row. We're looking forward to a break in the future."
Nothing like leading with the excuses, huh? Miles did go on to heap much blame on himself for his coaching in the Ole Miss game. But he was a little late. Quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who was intercepted a career-high three times, said after the game: "Obviously, you can't go anywhere in this conference turning the ball over. This game is really on me. I've got to be smarter."
So does the Mad Hatter.
SEC attendance has been a topic of discussion the last couple of years, as even the most successful college football conference in the land has had to face the reality that it's increasingly tempting for even the most rabid fans to stay home in front of the flat screen, the refrigerator just steps away.
But this week the league reported that attendance this season has been at 98.98 percent capacity, up 2 percent from a year ago. Five of the six games last week were played in front of 100 percent capacity crowds (or more), and 53 percent of all games played this season were played before sellout crowds.
Tennessee, one of five schools to have had five home games, leads in total attendance with 469,409 at Neyland Stadium. Texas A&M leads in percent of capacity, at 104.77. And Alabama leads in average attendance through four home games at 101,679. Tennessee's capacity of 102,455 tops the SEC; Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa is second at 101,679.
Tennessee's Michael Palardy was the SEC Special Teams Player of the Week after kicking the game-winning 19-yard field goal in the Vols' upset of South Carolina. He also punted eight times for a 40.4-yard average and leads the league with 16 punts downed inside the 20 this season.
South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney finally played more like himself in the UT game, registering five tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and two quarterback hurries. But Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley might be the league's top defensive player. The leader of the nation's best defense, Mosley had 10 tackles in the 52-0 win over Arkansas last week, plus two tackles for loss, two pass breakups and two quarterback hurries. His 58 tackles ranks first on Alabama and fourth in the league.
"He has us opening our eyes to the process of the game and doing everything right," DB Landon Collins said of Mosley's leadership.
Georgia, like LSU, figured to compete for SEC and national titles. But the Bulldogs have been hit with a slew of injuries and after the upset loss at Vanderbilt, sit at 3-2 in the SEC, 4-3 overall.
"We got to figure this out," said quarterback Aaron Murray. "Do some soul searching … keep grinding."

well those castles are actual castle designs (crusaders) and hate to burst peoples bubbles castles lacked in color and the only color you would see is the off-white look from weathering.
alot of people have been influenced by Hollywood, but in reality Castles were ugly dirty places where the people stank and there was garbage and shit all over the place, even the King and Queen wore clothes dirty and stained, and very few bathes were taken, they were like a yearly affair.
so when I see "Colorful" castles I think nice but not realistic.

IRS Also Secretly Got Intelligence Info And Was Told To Launder It
from the this-isn't-going-to-end-well dept
The latest is that apparently, the DEA's SOD isn't just giving this info to DEA agents... but also to other agencies, including the IRS, who is again instructed to "launder" where the evidence came from in order to hide that it was the result of intelligence gathering.
A 350-word entry in the Internal Revenue Manual instructed agents of the U.S. tax agency to omit any reference to tips supplied by the DEA's Special Operations Division, especially from affidavits, court proceedings or investigative files. The entry was published and posted online in 2005 and 2006, and was removed in early 2007. The IRS is among two dozen arms of the government working with the Special Operations Division, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency.This is almost certainly unconstitutional, as a due process violation, by hiding the evidence used to arrest someone. Furthermore, even if you think that it's reasonable that if the FBI or NSA comes across some details of, say, a tax cheat or a drug deal, that they should pass that info along to a relevant agency, at best you could make an argument that this made sense when those investigations were narrow and targeted at wrongdoing. Yet, as we've seen, surveillance capabilities for both the NSA and FBI have been expanding rapidly, such that nowadays they're collecting information on absolutely everyone. When you have information on everyone, it's not hard to construct "patterns" that can be passed along to various agencies for the purpose of directly targeting individuals. The risk of abuse of this kind of information gathering and information sharing is tremendous.
An IRS spokesman had no comment on the entry or on why it was removed from the manual. Reuters recovered the previous editions from the archives of the Westlaw legal database, which is owned by Thomson Reuters Corp, the parent of this news agency.

Ultra-hyped! Also, nice Yun avatar.
Wow, this SMT IV has a $50 price tag; possibly the first costly 3DS game out there....That REALLY means the game is so good.
1er janvier 2013, la TVQ est calculée sur le prix de vente excluant la TPS et le taux de la TVQ est de 9,975 %.
The reason prices like that can be a problem is because they don't offer a meatier or sufficiently risky product for that money, they just have something popular and feel they can do it like Activision Blizzard has, or because they're being idiots like SE had been with DS pricing at times. Neither is the case here, we're getting a meaty RPG with a niche appeal, and looks to be about on par with the PS2 games we had to pay $50 for anyway. AND is likely on a more expensive, larger cartridge.Don't forget that more often than not RPGs were the games we had to pay a premium for in the past, that only really changed on the PS1 and even on PS2 they were more likely to sell at $50 than others. I'm more than willing to pay $50 here, so long as they give proper localization treatment and don't do crap like SE demanding a premium price on Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume only to hack away the VA anyway.

Common sense dictates that people are happy when they are doing what they want to do ( in fact the statement is almost tautolgoical). In my view, what people want to do is influenced by what their culture tells them is worthy of pursuit, and unfortunately American society is telling women of all types that stay-at-home mothers are brood mares, while Hillary Clinton is what it's all about.Probably the most obvious of those things associated with both fertility and happiness is marital status. Among married women aged 30 and over (so those considered have had time to start a family and also to avoid shotgun weddings that presumably do not provide optimal happiness), the childless report the highest level of happiness. With the exception of a slight bump in going from one child to two, as the number of offspring increases, happiness decreases.
Instead of suggesting that making babies is linked to happiness, I should just try to prod people into matrimony. Once that stage has been reached, procreation is 45% more likely than among those who are not married*. Lead a mare to water and she's more likely to drink than if you just leave her in the desert. Of course, a comparison of married and unmarried women is not apples-to-apples either, but most women can find marriage partners if they are willing to.
Also, the ebbing of time influences how barren and procreative women see their own levels of personal contentment. The happiness index for married women who have 2-4 children and those who have not had any, by age group:
|2-4 kids
|No kids
To the extent that any speculation can be made, women who have had children seem to be happier once the children are out on their own relative to peers who never had any kids. Even though the variances are small, happiness moves in opposite directions for those who've had children and those who have not had them. Psychologically, that's noteworthy. With children, your best days still probably lay ahead. Without them, growing old looks drearier.
* Among married women 30 years and older, only 13% of respondents did not have any children. For those of the same age who were not married, 40% were barren.

Score (Game One)
Box Score (Game Two)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--Courtney Wolf hit her league leading 11th and 12th homeruns and freshman Hayley Feindel pitched nine scoreless innings over two games to help Coast Guard sweep the MIT softball team in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) doubleheader on Friday at Briggs Field. The Bears took game one, 9-0, before winning the nightcap, 11-1. With the losses MIT falls to 6-19 overall and 3-11 in conference play. Coast Guard improves to 30-2 and remains unbeaten in the NEWMAC at 13-0.
The Cardinal and Grey got into trouble in the third inning of game one, as three errors opened the door for four runs by the visitors in the frame. Amanda Frederick picked up an RBI during the run with a single up the middle that scored Annette Boston.
Coast Guard added three more in the fifth on a pair of RBI doubles. Becky Miller plated two runs with her hit to left-centerfield. Jamie Kim followed that with a ground-rule double to score Miller. Wolf would add a run in the sixth with her first round-tripper of the day.
Tech managed just one hit off Feindel, who threw the complete game shutout. Jessica Oleinik took the loss for the hosts, surrendering three earned runs on eight hits.
Coast Guard's offense was equally effective in the second game, as the Bears scored at least two runs in each of the first four innings. Frederick helped lead the way, going four-for-four with four RBI and two runs scored. Wolf's second homerun came in the first inning of game two.
MIT starter Abby Van Hook lasted just two and one-third innings, giving up eight earned runs on 10 hits. Oleinik helped stop the bleeding, allowing just three hits and no earned runs over the final two and two-thirds.
Feindel retired the first nine hitters she faced before being replaced by Nicole Black, who worked the final two innings for the win.
With the two wins, Coast Guard clinches at least a share of the NEWMAC regular season title. The Bears can clinch the title outright when they host Springfield tomorrow at 12:00 p.m.
The Engineers will conclude their season on Monday, April 20 with an afternoon doubleheader at WPI beginning at 12:00 p.m.

Good Morning blog friends. Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. My weekend went by way to fast. I found out on Sunday that my aunt was hospitalized in ICU with high blood pressure and a viral pneumonia and I have been worried sick and stressed out because I no longer live close enough to go visit her. She was the inspiration for my card today and I am going to mail this off to her in hopes that it brings a smile to her face and lets her know how much I love her...
My card size is a 6x6. I wanted to go a little bit bigger because of the sketch I used. Here is the sketch created by Dawny P
I used bright pink cardstock by Colorbok for my card base. The patterned papers are from MME's Bella collection. I used a little bit of Bazzill white cardstock for my first mat and used some of the pink cardstock for my other mats. I made the flower using my carnation punch by Ek Success and inserted a brad from American Crafts in the center. My sentiment was stamped on some Bazzill white cardstock using Momento tuxedo black ink. It is from Hero Arts. I also stamped out the little flowers and stems from the same stamp set and colored them with my copics, G21 and YR68. I finished off the card by adding some lace ribbon that I had in my stash to the bottom of the card base and created a cute little bow as well. The center of the bow was done using my YR68 copic marker.
I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a great day!!

The University of Houston (UH) will host award-winning author Attica Locke as the keynote speaker for, "Revolution on Cullen. The Personal Challenges of Integrating UH in the 1960s," at 4 p.m., Monday, Oct. 1 at the Rockwell Pavilion, M.D. Anderson Library. The event is free and open to the public.
According to Paula Woods in a Los Angeles Times book review, "'Black Water Rising,' was inspired by an actual incident involving young Attica and her father, a former radical turned attorney. But what she makes of it has put her in the company of master thriller writers such as Dennis Lehane or Scott Turow. 'Black Water Rising' is a near-perfect balance of trenchant social commentary, rich characterizations and an action-oriented plot that, after it kicks in, moves rapidly toward some explosive revelations well-suited to the growth-crazed Houston that Locke so accurately evokes."
Locke will discuss her novel, "Black Water Rising," which reflects on the tensions of student life at UH in the 1960s and will read from her newly released novel, "The Cutting Season." Former NBA player, coach and commentator Don Chaney, and Gene Locke, an activist, attorney and recent mayoral candidate, will discuss their experiences as part of the first cohorts of African-American students at UH. Alison Leland, interim director of community affairs at UH, will moderate the panel.
This public symposium will explore the integration of the UH campus and civil rights activism in Houston through the eyes of two students who were at the forefront of the change and through the eyes of a novelist looking back at this time of rapid social and political change in Houston and the wider society. UH admitted its first black student in 1962.
This event is co-sponsored by the UH political science department, African-American studies, The Center for Public History and the Phronesis Program in Politics and Ethics.
