2. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf Mar 29, 2007 3:05 AM (in response to tarekahf)Dear Ulf I Andersson ,
Thank you so much ... I got the idea ... but, what is the Language used on the PreLoad3.PDF form ? This is the only difficulty I faced, as I could not understand the purpose of the form. However, I could use the same logic for my requirements.
Just tell me one thing, How I can submit the PDF from the Client Web Browser to the IIS Server ASP.NET Web Page so that I could retrieve the Field Values using "Request.Form" ?
Is it possible to submit the form to it self on the server side and do the same thing to manipulate the form? Is this a good way to do such a thing ? Usually, in ASP.NET the forms do not submit to a different Page, they submit to them selves ? Did you notice that ?
3. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(Ulf_I_Andersson) Mar 29, 2007 5:42 AM (in response to tarekahf)There is no language in the form
The buttons is submit buttonts with an url.
You cant submit to a pdf you are always submitting to a aspx.
4. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf May 5, 2007 1:06 AM (in response to tarekahf)OK, great ! it is working fine. Thank you so much.
I need now to do the opposite, ie, submit the PDF From to ASP.NET, where the PDF Form has Digital Signature. I want to preserve the integrity of the PDF on the server.
So, I created a Submit Button on the LiveCycle PDF Form and want to submit the Entire PDF using the appropriate Submit Format such as "XDP" , "PDF", or "XML" or what ever. Under APS.NET, I managed to receive the XDP XML Structure using ASP.NET as follows:
Dim reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(Page.Request.InputStream)
Dim xmlData As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
Dim xmldoc As New System.Xml.XmlDataDocument
Welcome " & xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("Name")(0).innertext & "
Where "Name" is the Staff Name Field on the PDF Form.
The above code is working fine, but how I can receive the Entire PDF with Digital Signatures and save it to a local folder on the server?
I found a "chunk" element, but I could not write it to Binary File as it is always being written as TEXT File no mater what I do.
It seems that I need and SDK for APS.NET.
Any one can help me I really appreciated it.

6. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf May 16, 2007 2:58 AM (in response to tarekahf)Dear All,
I was able to submit the PDF from the Client to Server (URL) and handle the submission using ASP.NET Program.
I was able to extract data and PDF from the chunk element successfully and write it as binary to PDF file on the server.
I was also able to merger data with PDF using XML and write the response back to the client as XDP ....
Everything works perfectly now.
I have one small problem.
On some client PCs, when the XDP is rendered back to the client browser, sometimes I get a Prompt asking the user to save or open the XDP file, and on other users PC, it is opening the XDP as PDF immediately.
How I can control such setting ? From where exactly ?
Regards ...
7. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(Mehmet_Atlihan) May 16, 2007 8:15 AM (in response to tarekahf)Tarek can you explain how you are able to submit a pdf form as a pdf (write as a binary file on the server) via ASP.NET? I do not need to write the form values to a database rather I would like to keep the pdf form as is.
8. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf May 17, 2007 1:08 AM (in response to tarekahf)Dear Mehmet,
Sure I am glad to help. I will give you quick answer now, and on Sat I will give complete sample code.
On the form, submit button, mouse up event, use Acrobat JavaScript: event.target.submitForm and include the parameters to submit the entire pdf to URL (ASP.NET Program).
In asp.net, use the request object to retrieve the binary data and use binary writer to write to an file .pdf.
When I am back in the office on Saturday, I will give COMPLETE sample code. In case I forget, please send me a reminder ok?

1) User browses to page on website.
2) Page displays an interactive pdf form
3) User fills out the fields in the form
4) User click the "submit" button, the interactive pdf form is flattened and saved to a folder on the webserver. Or, the flattened pdf is emailed to other users.
I can easily create the interactive pdf using Adobe Professional, but how can I display the pdf and capture the "submitted" flattened pdf?
20. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf Dec 5, 2007 2:23 PM (in response to tarekahf)Kyle Parker,
If I understand your question correctly, you want to display the PDF on the Client Browser, and the user will fill in the form, then submit to a server. On the server, you need to capture the field value, right ?
Please go back to the beginning of this form, and the sample code I provided does both parts:
1. Use APS.NET to read field values from Database and merge it with Adobe LiveCycle Form (not Acrobat Form). If you are using Acrobat Forms, I guess you have to convert it.
2. In the PDF, there is Java Client Script to Submit the form to a Server.
3. When the form is submitted, there is a sample code that shows you how to retrieve the XDP Package, and parse it to extract the field values. The code was messed up, but if you copy/past to Notepad, it should look better, and you need to spend some effort to get the parts you need.
The program is working fine here at work since it was deployed, and it was a revolution in my company. I think I was the first person to use Adobe PDF in such manner from A to Z.

22. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf Dec 11, 2007 9:37 PM (in response to tarekahf)gagankhurana,
I will teach a good trick to solve related problems, but this is a secret ! (just kidding).
1. Create the Form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer,
2. Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat,
3. Fill the Form Fields with all the kind of values you need,
4. Use the Form Menu option to Export the Values to CSV or XML,
5. Open the exported XML/CSV/Text file and examine the field Names and Values. This is useful for programming in JavaScript also,
6. To confirm, change the field values as you like and save the XML/CSV/Text,
7. Go back to Adobe Acrobat, and Import the new file to the form,
8. Enjoy ...

25. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(Chris_Trip) Mar 7, 2008 10:49 PM (in response to tarekahf)Tarek, or anyone for that matter help would be great.
I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??
here are some link to reference

26. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf Mar 8, 2008 12:04 PM (in response to tarekahf)Dear Chris,
First of all, I like to thank you for letting me know about Win32 pdftk.exe tool. I think I might use it one day.
I am not sure if I follow you 100%... you have provided a lot of details and so many variable ... I am a little bit lost !
I have read you post several time, and I will give you my feedback to the best of my understanding, and hope that it will make sense to you.
First of all we have to agree of some constant parameters with regards to our problem:
1. We are using Adobe LiveCycle Technology, not Acrobat. I am sure you know the difference.
2. We will use Adobe PDF for Form Data Entry, Submission to the Server, and Form Rendering from the server to the Client by merging data from Back-End Database with the form.
3. The client users must have Adobe Reader to be able to work with the form, and the form can be Reader-Enabled which is a plus (or a must depending on what features you need to use). If some clients do not want to install Adobe Reader, then your solution must be smarter and must adopt some tools to convert PDF to HTML on the Server and push back the result to the client. I did not use such solution, and I know some Adobe Server Products have such feature.
4. I do not know PHP. I use ASP.NET, but I am sure you should be able to find the equivalent in PHP, and I will give you concepts, not language specific details. (Note: at our work environment, we have a farm of different different technologies and platforms and tools, and I am really lost ! My colleague knows PHP and MySQL).
Your Requirement:
You want to use PHP to simulate the work of Win32 pdftk.EXE. Correct ?
Keeping in mind the parameters mentioned above, here is what you need to do:
1. Form Data Entry and Submission to the Server: Design the Form in LiveCycle and create a Button with the needed JavaScript to submit the form to the server and pass the entire Form Data Fields as XML and the PDF Form as Binary, as needed. Check the sample code in this thread in an earlier post. Use : event.target.submitForm(...).
If Adobe Reader is installed and configured properly on the client, then a simple URL Link to the form on the server will do the job. I think the form must be Reader Enabled in order to make some feature work, but I cannot remember all the details.
The received XML Document has 2 major parts: Form Data and PDF File in a String Representation of the Binary Format. This was a tricky part, but I managed to use it to re-create the PDF on the server AS-IS with the help of the Engineer form a Local Adobe Support Representative.
3. Form rendering by Merging the Form Fields with Data from the Back-End Database: Develop a Server-Side Program to do this part using PHP. You simple need to write the code to connect to the Database, open the required Table/View/Stored Procedure ....etc.. and put the required Fields in Server Side Variables. I usually use Session Variables, just in case I need to split my code among several server-side ASPX web pages. Then, you need to have one LONG String Variable to construct the XDP (XML Data Package) Formatted Document. The XDP is understood by Adobe Reader 7.x and above. The XDP has 3 parts: Header, Form Fields Data, and Footer which has a link to the empty LiveCycle PDF. So build the XDP String Variable by Concat , Concat, Concat ...etc... then concat until you are done. You must use a Response Object to set he content type as XDP and write the content of the XDP into the Response. If you XDP String Variable is formatted as per the rules, it will work. XML Does not like some characters, so you must encode them so that they are interpreted properly by IE on the Client.
The sample code I posted earlier has complete details.
If you still require help, please let me know.
Regard ....
27. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(Chris_Trip) Mar 8, 2008 2:59 PM (in response to tarekahf)Tarek:
Thank you sir. I'm i can gain to my situation with your knowledge, but let me clarify for you.
This is 100% server side operation, with the entire operation performed in the same directory. In my current testing case this would be the "planner" folder. Please reference my testing files to go along with my explanation
Yes. I am using LiveCycle Designer (8.0)
NOT a PDF form but rather an HTML form for submission of values to MYSQL DB. **Please note, in my situation this factor is not of importance, we just need a form to get the field values into a MYSQL DB table. But we do want our end result to be a populated PDF served to end-user (Me).
But I am currently using a short "dummy" form which happens to be a PDF form rather than an HTML form, but this is only because I just happened to have it around, and it is in fact "short" and good for the purpose of me testing, once I get the operation successfully working I will replace with a longer HTML form, and replace all of the parameters accordingly to fit my actual form (which has 68 input fields rather than 5 ;)
The PDF form to be populated and served to end-user (Me) will be the "un-populated" PDF form that always resides on the server.
now the client has submitted the form and all value have been inserted into the MYSQL DB table
I have a repository for all of the form submissions.
here -- http://alexisgrand.com/planner/view.php?sort=LastName
each form submission has a corresponding "VIEW PDF" link, which looks something like this
25 being row id in the MYSQL DB table for this particular form submission, this row contains all of the field values of the submitted , that will be eventually insterted into the blank PDF Form in the directory.
notice "viewpdf.php" when this page is activated (by clicking the VIEW PDF link) it requests all of the form values needed, and saves them as variables. after variables are saved viewpdf.php creates the FDF structure, which looks like the following:
require_once( 'forge_fdf.php' ); <--- remember this***
$fdf_data_strings= array('form1[0].#subform[0].#area[0].LastName[0]' => $pdf_LastName, 'form1[0].#subform[0].#area[0].FirstName[0]' => $pdf_FirstName, 'form1[0].#subform[0].#area[0].EMail[0]' => $pdf_EMail, 'form1[0].#subform[0].#area[0].IDNum[0]' => $pdf_IDNum, 'form1[0].#subform[0].#area[0].NetID[0]' => $pdf_NetID, 'form1[0].#subform[0].#area[0].DateSubmitted[0]' => $pdf_DateSubmitted);
$fdf_data_names= array();
viewpdf.php then calls on forge_fdf.php which creates an actual "FDF.tmp" on the server (of course in the planner folder)
the FDF.tmp file if opened in a plain text editor would look like this:
1 0 obj
/FDF << /Fields [ << /T (form1[0]) /Kids [ << /T (#subform[0]) /Kids [ << /T (#area[0]) /Kids [ << /T (LastName[0]) /V (Trip) /ClrF 2 /ClrFf 1 >>
<< /T (FirstName[0]) /V (Chris) /ClrF 2 /ClrFf 1 >>
<< /T (EMail[0]) /V (firstname.lastname@example.com) /ClrF 2 /ClrFf 1 >>
<< /T (IDNum[0]) /V (777777777) /ClrF 2 /ClrFf 1 >>
<< /T (NetID[0]) /V (555-55-5555) /ClrF 2 /ClrFf 1 >>
<< /T (DateSubmitted[0]) /V (2008-02-01) /ClrF 2 /ClrFf 1 >>
] >>
] >>
] >>
<< /T (id) /V (4) /ClrF 2 /ClrFf 1 >>
/Root 1 0 R
pdftk.exe is now called upon to stuff the FDF into the blank PDF form, flatten it and serve it up to the end-user -- yes, that would be Me ;)
My problem is that this workd GREAT when tested locally http://localhost/planner/ on my Windows machine using WAMP Server
but remotely (where I need it) I use a shared hosting provider on a Linux server, and cannot use pdftk.exe being that is a Win32 based app. (Windows)
there are Linux builds of pdftk, but I am restricted from any installations or shell access.
so I decided it was that important that i would purchase another hosting plan just to handle this operation, and it would need to be a Windows server to use the pdftk.exe, with the ability to use MYSQL and PHP scripting.
Ok so i have got that taken care of a hosting provider @ only $5 per month plenty of what with more than what i need.
BUT i am not able to control READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permisssions from the control panel, only READ & WRITE.
So after many emails and days, and repeating the sceanrio over and over to tech support, even thought everything is outlined in my Support tickets, and I even made a screen recording demo for tech support.
They have told me that the folder as full permisssions and pdftk.exe is permissioned to EXECUTE.
I get nothing! Just to test, i turned the option off, which deletes the FDF.tmp file immedietly (very quickly) after the merging. Now the FDF.tmp files remain on the planner folder.
They are named like so in this case fdf4AE.tmp, fdf4AF.tmp, fdf4B0.tmp, etc..
well when i activate the viewpdf.php page to do the merging and serve the file up to end-user , tmp files are ever created?? as I connect and reconnect to the directory via FTP to check, and also view from the File Manager in the hosting Control Panel. No tmp files.
so thinking they may be hidden, I move a view tmp file created locally onto the server, and they show up wihtout a problem.
this is were I am stuck at.
NOW what i have done as a temporary remedy, and the next best thing, which definately is not what Im looking for, is following, i have done this one my orginal remote Linux server.
I have to ave me from typing, I ave created the same scenario as above, but eliminated forge_pdf.php and pdftk.exe from the equation, and intstead, an XML file is served up to end user rather than a finalized PDF. the XML file has to be imported into the unpopulated PDF form, via the Import function under manage forms in Acrobat Pro 8.
you may think this is not big deal, but this isn't close to what I am need of.
so I believe I covered everything. The funny thing is that I do not formally know PHP, I have just examined code and figured everything out thus far.
So does your answer vary in this situation? One thing i can say is that on the Windows server I am using I can use ASP.NET for scripting, so I thought you may be able to provide a solution?
28. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf Mar 8, 2008 9:32 PM (in response to tarekahf)Dear Chris,
I think I understand your problem bettwr now, ... I HOPE !
Using pdftk.EXE, it works locally, but when it is hosted live at the provider company, it does not work due to some limitations ...etc.
I tried the link you gave me to open the populated PDF, when I click it, I get a dialog box asking me to Open the PDF, then I get error of some kind.... it did not work on my side probably due to the reasons you mentioned.
Ok, do you want my advise ...??
- DROP pdftk.EXE.
- FDF Method is OBSOLETE ... DO NOT USE IT.
- My understanding is that FDF method should not work with LiveCycle PDF, they are 2 different formats and technologies.
- Use XDP method to merge Data Fields with LiveCycle Form and push back the result to the Client.
- CONSIDER using PDF on the Client Side and Submit the Result to Server using JavaScript (under Adobe). This method will save you the need to convert HTML to PDF and you can get the PDF as-is on the server, even with Digital Signatures protected, if used.
- When the client fills the PDF and Submit as XDP, on the Server, you can retrieve the ENTIRE PDF and Save it to Local Folder with the name you like. Later, you can just compose a link to this file, and no need to do any Data Merging what so ever, and this link can be used to render the same filled PDF with a click of a button. In addition to that, when the form has been submitted to the server, you can still retrieve the form field values and do what ever you want with them.
- Remeber the value of using PDF form in the beginning. Can you visualize the difference between HTML Form and PDF Form ? I am sure you know the difference, but one important difference you may have missed ! The PDF Form, once Digitally Singed by the Author, its Security Identity is PRESERVED and PROTECTED, and no one is "supposed" to be able to break it. And if you try to break it, the Identity will be erased. Also, if you try to make change AFTER it is Digitally Signed, the Attribute of the Digital Signature will be marked as "Changed After Signature". Also, with EACH Digital Siganture, you have a FULL Version of the PDF SAVED for ever inside the SAME PDF, and you always have the option to view the version of the PDF at the time of the Signature and remove all the changes that ocurred after a given signature. It is a TRUE Electronic Replacement of the Real World Forms.
I can spend more than 30 minutes wirting about the benefits of using PDF instead of HTML for Creating the Form at the Client Side.
I hope this helps.
29. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(Chris_Trip) Mar 8, 2008 10:31 PM (in response to tarekahf)Thank you, but it definately needs to be an HTML form, as this form is passed to folks all ovver the country to fill out and any one that doesnt have Reader or the correct version.. even though to you and I is just a matter of a couple minutes to resolve but I have seen clients that are not so saavy, just see this as frustrating and move on.
so the HTML form is the solution for the client, and right now everything to set, that onc e aPlanner is submitted, and email link would go out to myself, (producing a fully filled Planner, and seperate emails sent to different folks in the workflow, but with certain fields ommitted for each recipeitn depenfing on there department and if the criteria is relevant to them.
if i could just get thed data merged, everything else is in place.. and life would be even better :)

I just want to say thank you for the article it's been a great deal of help. I have only one question. Do you know of any way I can set the values of no fillible objects? For example. I want to fill in the submit URL of a button or change the text in a text object. Is this possible?

First, I apologize for the delay in my reply.
If I follow you properly, you are looking way to assign a value to objects that cannot be filled from the user, such as the captions of the text box or the submit URL of the submit button. Is my understanding correct ?
Yes, everything is possible. Please give me a specific requirement with as much detail as possible, and I will try to help.
For example, assigning a value to the caption of a text box, is not a trivial as one might thing. You need to follow a special syntax to make it work.
In my case, I am currently hard-coding the submit URL in the form, and I am planning to change this and pass the URL from the server to the PDF Form because we have DEV and PROD servers and they must work independently.
32. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(Matt_W) Mar 26, 2008 6:04 AM (in response to tarekahf)Hello Terek, thanks for responding. You are understanding my situation perfectly. I have two requiremtns for the button. 1 Change the submit url and 2 Change the visibility. I also want to be able to change the text inside a label.

Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(dsrirams) May 13, 2008 2:13 PM (in response to tarekahf)How are you able to retrieve the entire pdf file after you submit to the ASPX page?

35. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf May 13, 2008 2:37 PM (in response to tarekahf)Just to re-assure... here is the JavaScript command I am using:
event.target.submitForm( {cURL: "http://blablabla/LeaveProcess.aspx?SubmittedFormPart=1", aPackets:["datasets","pdf"], cSubmitAs: "XDP"});
I have looked at the command you used, it is slightly different. Try my version and confirm.
When you debug your ASP.NET ASPX Page after submitting, and convert the request input stream into XML, you should see a chunk element (when you view the XML Variable in the watch window). If you still do not see such element, check the version of Adobe Client you are using. It should be at least version 7.0.5 or higher.
36. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(dsrirams) May 14, 2008 6:26 AM (in response to tarekahf)Tarek,
I added the javascript as you had provided. Also, I got the latest reader 8.1. Still the same result. I tried to debug the application, the pdf does not post the form. It does when I remove "pdf" from aPackets parameter. Any suggestions?
Is there anything that I need to for the pdf? I created the form using LiveCycle and saved the file. Is there anything else I need to do with the file? When I change the aPackets to "*", the form gets submited to the page and I can see a Template element but no chunck. Is there anything I am doing wrong?
37. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(dsrirams) May 14, 2008 7:53 AM (in response to tarekahf)I was going through Adobe Help and came across..
"Save rights required (): When submitting a
document as XDP from the Adobe Reader with
aPackets set to pdf (or *, which implies pdf), the
document must have document save rights."
Does this mean all my users must have professional adobe versions? I am trying to put a public webSite. Appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.
38. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.tarekahf May 14, 2008 11:39 AM (in response to tarekahf)Yes, you are right. When you submit a form with PDF this means you can take a copy of the form and save it under different name. This is not allowed from Adobe Reader.
I think there is an option in Acrobat that Reder-Enable the Form. But as per what I remember, it may not work.
Your only option, if you want to receive a copy of the PDF (with the Form Data Fields) then you have to Reader-Enable the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server, which is going to cost you. There might be other alternatives but I am afraid that you have to contact Adobe Technical Support/Sales to give you an advise in that regards.
39. Re: Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer with ASP.NET to populate PDF Forms from Server Database.(Jeff_Lawrence) May 20, 2008 2:58 PM (in response to tarekahf)is it possible to take a form and upload the xml data to a web server? I found a way to create an email with the .xml file and I found a way to save the data from a form as an .xml file using "xfa.host.exportData" but for the life of me I cant figure out how to post or upload the .xml file to a web server. The closest that I think I have to come to a solution is the "event.target.submitForm" code that was posted in this thread but I dont know what kind of .aspx code I need to write. Currently, the users have to fill in the form and save the file as a .xml file and then go to a .html page I wrote and browse to the .xml file and then click another button to upload the file to a sever, which is a .asp page
first is it possible to do what i want?
If so, do you have a sample or generic .aspx code you can post here? All i want is to create a button that posts the .xml file to a web server - even FTP will work but I need the whole .xml file.

Dan Amstutz may be wondering if he did the right thing in agreeing to serve as the U.S. senior ministry advisor for agriculture in Iraq.
Although Amstutz, a former USDA undersecretary, tried to put an optimistic face on his new assignment at a news conference, he clearly has his work cut out in trying to help Iraq rebuild its agriculture.
U.S. Army engineers and others will have their hands full rebuilding the portions of Iraq's infrastructure destroyed in the war. But Amstutz is charged with helping rebuild an agriculture that appears to have suffered 30 years of neglect.
"I'm told that, particularly since the Gulf War, individual Iraqis paid 12 cents — not $12 — 12 cents a month for their food basket, which included flour, rice, vegetable oil and poultry," Amstutz said from Kuwait where he has been helping organize U.S. reconstruction efforts.
"Clearly, a price level dictated by the government like that drains agriculture of incentive and drains it of the ability to purchase and apply inputs, whether that input is phosphate and potassium fertilizer, or whether it's saline-resistant feedstock, or whether it's good veterinary practices."
While Iraqi farmers came under even greater government control following the Gulf War, a centrally planned agriculture existed to some degree during most of Saddam Hussein's 30 years of rule, Amstutz told reporters. Hussein clearly had his mind on other things.
"In recent years, there's been a lack of agricultural inputs, a lack of machinery," he said. "They haven't really adequately dealt with the problem of soil salinity, and all these things must be addressed."
He said that about two-thirds of Iraq's wheat and barley are grown dryland and the other third of the wheat and barley and all of the rice are irrigated. Iraqi farmers are irrigating about one-half of the 3 million hectares (8.1 million acres) of land that can be watered.
The estimates he's seen say that only about half of Iraq's 11 million hectares (29.7 million acres) are currently under cultivation.
"Partly this has to do with a lack of farm machinery and equipment," he said. "I'm sure there's a need for replacement parts for both machinery and irrigation equipment. Again it's a question of are there incentives to encourage farmers to modernize, and do they have the wherewithal."
During the conference, Amstutz said he believes that with better inputs and machinery updates and new practices regarding salinity, Iraq's farmers could double their wheat, barley and rice production within two to three years.
That would bring Iraq's output up to the levels of 1.8 million tons of barley and 1.2 million tons of wheat that were being produced before the Gulf War in 1990-91. This year, analysts expect farmers to harvest 700,000 tons of barley and 800,000 tons of wheat. (No figures were available for rice.)
Amstutz, meanwhile, is already under fire from humanitarian aid groups because of his former ties to Cargill, which he left in 1978, and his support of free market agriculture.
He should not lack for challenges in the months ahead.

A few parting thoughts from the final day of the girls state track meet in Des Moines:
BUY VITRIA NO PRESCRIPTION, Wow. Buy VITRIA online cod, That's a quick summarization of the unbelievable performance by New London. The Tigers had a meet that most schools can only dream about, comprar en línea VITRIA, comprar VITRIA baratos. Online buy VITRIA without a prescription, They came and left with a bang; New London won their first event of the meet, the 4x800, discount VITRIA, VITRIA reviews, and won the last one of the meet, the 4x400, VITRIA without prescription. Purchase VITRIA online no prescription, What makes it all the more impressive is that only five girls contributed to the 31 points that finished fourth in the Class 1A team race. They placed in all but one of their events, BUY VITRIA NO PRESCRIPTION. Had Central Lyon/Rock Rapids finished third in the 4x400, VITRIA trusted pharmacy reviews, VITRIA price, the teams would have tied for third. And, rx free VITRIA, Buy VITRIA no prescription, the Tigers only graduate one of those runners, but it'll be a huge loss when Kylie Wrede graduates, cheap VITRIA no rx. Order VITRIA no prescription, CLASS 2A
Speaking of great meets, it's hard to argue with Mediapolis' stay in Des Moines, VITRIA from canadian pharmacy. Is VITRIA addictive, Kara Keller went out with a bang as well, winning the 800 Saturday and guiding the 4x400 to a second-place finish, purchase VITRIA.

$1500 donation please answer.
Oct 13, 2006
Dr Bob,
I went to a massage parlour and the woman gave me a massage. She also gave me a handjob and rubbed the tip of my penis against her vagina. I was wearing a condom at the time but she had been using massage oils on me and I am worried that this would have destroyed the condom.
I have had one lymph node in my armpit and my stomach feels really rough. I have taken lots of staomach medicine but it feels terrible and hurts all the time.
Is this an ARS symptom. I will donate all of my salary next month which is approximaltely $1500 if I test negative to your foundation. Please answer me.
Response from Dr. Frascino
A handjob and rubbing the tip of your condom-covered Mr. Happy against a massage-lady's vagina even with massage oils! is not a risk for HIV transmission! No way. No how.
Your "one lymph node" and "rough" stomach are not indicative of or worrisome for HIV ARS (acute retroviral syndrome) or HIV disease. Your stomach discomfort could be related to stress, anxiety, stomach ulcer or a host of other causes, but certainly not HIV, OK?
If you're worried, and clearly you are, get a single HIV rapid test at the three-month mark. It will undoubtedly be negative and that should put all your residual HIV worries permanently to rest.
Thank you for your very generous donation! (www.concertedeffort.org) Your one gift will touch many lives in a very meaningful way. On behalf of those folks, please accept my heartfelt thanks. In return I'm sending you my very best good-luck/good-health karma that your HIV test will be negative. (I'm extremely confident it indeed will be negative!)
I'm looking forward to hearing your good news (negative test results) very soon!
Good luck!
Dr. Bob

Man Surprised To Receive Illegal Assault Rifle Instead Of The TV He Ordered From Amazon
A man living in Washington, D.C. was expecting a new high-definition TV he ordered from Amazon through a third-party seller, but somewhere along the way, his order got turned into something he (or anyone) wouldn't have ever expected: A high-caliber, semi-automatic assault rifle that is very large and very illegal in D.C.
Apparently the guy was first tipped off that something was amiss because instead of the rectangular packaging and somewhat flat shape one might expect for a TV, his delivery came in a long, narrow box, reports FOX 5, and was simply left outside his apartment door. Once he and his wife discovered the rifle, they called the cops right away to get the gun out of their house as fast as possible.
Assault rifles are totally illegal in D.C., as is transporting them. Which is why it's a good thing the guy called the cops instead of even bringing it to UPS to return it to the sender. Police officers confiscated the gun and are in the midst of trying to figure out how it landed at the man's apartment instead of the gun shop in Pennsylvania where it was heading originally.
"[Police] were a little confused at first, they've never seen anything quite like it," said the man. "They just took my information and then said we'll handle this weapon because it's illegal to keep here. It's illegal to transport in a car, so it can't be returned."
Now, about that missing TV…

Can waterborne settlement cues trigger the larval transition from the plankton to the seafloor?
Shawn Arellano,
Lauren Mullineaux
Project summaryIn coastal marine benthic species, populations are connected via transport of their swimming larvae. To thoroughly understand how larvae move between populations, we need to understand larval swimming behavior in the water column. In particular, the larval behaviors that trigger the transition from the plankton to the seafloor have remained a black box. One possibility is that waterborne cues originating from a settlement surface may mix up into the water column where swimming larvae can respond to them. Waterborne chemical settlement cues have been characterized well for barnacle cyprids (settlement stage larvae). Additionally, flow is known to affect both swimming behavior and settlement in barnacle cyprids. But the interactive effect of flow and chemical cues on larval swimming is not well described.
In this study, we will use barnacle cyprids as a model to investigate their behavioral responses to discrete filaments of dissolved settlement cues in a realistic flow environment generated in WHOI's racetrack flume. Preliminary experiments in still water containers are underway to characterize vertical swimming behavior (e.g., speed, tortuosity, sinking rate) and establish a threshold concentration of settlement cue at which a significant change in swimming behavior is distinguishable.
In the flume, we will use sensitive digital video to observe the behavior of swimming barnacle cyprids in ecologically relevant turbulent flows as they come into contact with streams of settlement cues. This study will improve our understanding of environmental influences on settlement of invertebrate larvae and provide critical to models of larval exchange and population connectivity.

Soon after becoming pastor at Mary Immaculate Church in Pacoima, Calif., John Lasseigne, O.M.I., discovered that many of his parishioners were on the verge of losing their homes. The parish in the northeast San Fernando Valley, where home values have dropped by hundreds of thousands of dollars from just a few years ago, is in a working-class, predominantly Latino immigrant area. More than 8,000 homeowners in the region are in default or foreclosure proceedings. "It dawned on all of us that this was going to hit crisis proportions, and fast. We had to act quickly," said Father Lasseigne.
Contrary to those who argue that those facing foreclosure deserve their fate because they took out risky loans or knowingly bought houses they could not afford, Father Lasseigne says the majority of distressed homeowners he has met these past few months are "very humble, hard-working, honest residents, many of them citizens.…"
"Something we discovered early on, which we've tried to convey in every meeting we've had with banks and elected officials, is that these mostly Latino homeowners in the San Fernando Valley were targeted by the banking industry," said Father Lasseigne, who added that many of the borrowers did not understand the risks involved in the subprime loans pushed by aggressive lenders.
In response to the crisis, Father Lasseigne helped form a unique partnership between area parishes and the community-organizing group One-LA, which set out to organize families in default into groups that would negotiate with the banks. Homeowners attended training sessions where they were educated about the basics of mortgages and foreclosures and were put in touch with housing counselors. Approximately 105 homeowners met with banking representatives, including officials from Bank of America, Chase Bank and Wells Fargo. "The banks paid more attention [to homeowners] when we pulled them together," said Father Lasseigne, but he added that the banks were still offering only "very tiny adjustments" to the mortgages that would provide only short-term help.
California homeowners carrying loans worth more than the current value of their homes, said One-LA housing lawyers, would likely default again when loan modifications, such as temporary principal deferment, ended and interest rates started climbing again. So the coalition presented a plan with a three-pronged approach: get banks to lower the principal on mortgages to reflect the current market value of homes; fix interest rates close to the current market rate; and provide homeowners with small government loans to lower the principal, which would not have to be paid back until the home is sold or the mortgage paid in full. In February the Los Angeles City Council unanimously agreed to provide $1.5 million to fund government loans to 30 homeowners whose lender banks will agree to lower their mortgage loan principal and fix interest rates.
"What we want that pilot project to show is that this plan of reducing principal and fixing interest rates actually produces greater stability in the housing market [resulting in] lower rates of re-default," said Father Lasseigne. "It's really [about] showing people that this works. If every party gets involved, it can be done."

Obscenities of Capitalism
By Paul Buchheit
July 15, 2013 "Information Clearing House - Committed capitalists don't seem to recognize that people depend on each other, and that individual success is a result of collaborative effort, usually over a long period of time. The less free-market thinkers are regulated, the less they seem to care about others. They ignore the fact that America's most productive eras were driven by progressive taxes that funded entrepreneurship in the middle class. And they fail to see the deficiencies in a system that relies solely on profit-making to the exclusion of social responsibility.
Like the images of a dreaded disease, their beliefs might best be defined as obscene.
1. The Market Works. Just Wait.
Capitalists have a remarkable capacity for groundless trust in the efficiency and egalitarianism of the free market. It started with Milton Friedman's contention that "The free market system distributes the fruits of economic progress among all people." Then on to 1998, when the New York Times cheered the breakup of the Glass-Steagall Act as having "temporarily demolished the increasingly unnecessary walls built during the Depression to separate commercial banks from investment banks and insurance companies." Post-crash, in 2009 and thereafter, the capitalists noticed cracks in the foundation, but relied on self-correction. Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein assured us that "The financial system may have led us into the crisis but it will lead us out," and the Chicago Tribune echoed his sentiment: "Western-style private enterprise, despite its penchant for booms and busts, will lead the world out of the mess it led the world into."
Even after 30+ years of free-market failure for the majority of Americans, the business people refused to surrender. Growing inequality had become a certainty. But Goldman Sachs adviser Brian Griffiths explained that "We have to tolerate the inequality as a way to achieve greater prosperity and opportunity for all."
2. Taxes: Who Needs Them?
"Zero!" said Honeywell CEO David Cote when asked what the corporate tax rate should be. Misinformation about taxes may have started with Arthur Laffer's napkin demonstration, which convinced Republicans for nearly forty years that lower taxes alchemistically result in higher revenues. Wealthy capitalists have come to believe that everyone benefits from tax avoidance. Said Charles Koch: "I believe my business and non-profit investments are much more beneficial to societal well-being than sending more money to Washington."
Even the biggest tax avoider, Apple Corporation, which according to its CEO Tim Cook "has a very strong moral compass," is fanatically defended for its nonpayment, despite the fact that taxpayer money paid for the development of transistors and integrated circuits and networking hardware and software that allowed the company to exist. Rand Paul fumed, "I'm offended by the spectacle of dragging in Apple executives. What we need to do is apologize to Apple and compliment them for the job creation they're doing."
Rand Paul may have been referring to Apple's self-congratulatory claim of 500,000 jobs added to the U.S. economy. But Apple only has 43,000 U.S. employees. It is estimated that the company makes $400,000 profit per employee while paying an average of $12 per hour for its store workers.
3. Global Warming is a Hoax
According to Republican Senator James Inhofe, it's "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." He would go on to reflect, "My point is, God's still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous." Rick Santorum called environmentalism "one of the favorite tricks of the left," and Fox News reported that "Global Warming Stopped 16 Years Ago."
Those not in complete denial offer profit-centered solutions. Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson calls global warming an "engineering problem" with "engineering solutions," and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce insists that "Populations can acclimatize to warmer climates via a range of behavioral, physiological and technological adaptations." The cheery Chamber even posits that warming could be "beneficial to humans" because of reduced wintertime mortality.
Other environmental problems flash yet more dollar signs before businessmen's eyes. Larry Summers recommended outsourcing our toxic waste problem: "I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to it." Regarding the water shortage, Energy & Capital suggested that "If you play it right, the results of this impending water crisis can be very good."
Monsanto stands out, below everyone else, in its report to the SEC: "We are committed to long-term environmental protection."
4. Students Are Our Finest Product
The big names produce the biggest absurdities. A well-intentioned Bill Gates proposes quality control for the student assembly line, with video footage from the classrooms sent to evaluators to check off teaching skills.
Michelle Rhee said, "I think that we are doing the wrong thing in our society when we are congratulating mediocrity and participation." Of course students should strive to go beyond mediocrity. But education is never an individual achievement. On the contrary, great individuals are the product of people working together, sharing ideas, filling in the missing gaps in others' work.
But we hear the sounds of ca-ching rather than of society working together. Koch-funded Heartland Institute President Joseph Bast said, "We see vouchers as a major step toward the complete privatization of schooling...they are the only way to dismantle the current socialist regime."
5. Money Can't Buy Me Gov
Deception, delusion, denial. Capitalists have completed all the steps of their free-market program. Billionaire Kenneth Griffinbelieves that the wealthy "have an insufficient influence" on politics today. The Chicago Tribune concurs: "What's so terrible about the infusion of so much money into the presidential campaign?......that's not a bug but a feature...it's the sound of democracy."
It's a little like having an obscene gesture thrust in your face.

Municipal authority resubmits proposal to DEP
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Municipal Authority [JMA] held a special meeting yesterday afternoon to approve a revised proposal after the Department of Environmental Protection [DEP] denied the Hunt Marcellus Operating Company's request to buy water from the municipal authority.Authority members voted unanimously in favor of the revised proposal.The agreement states that the JMA will supply 157,000 gallons of water at either the Silver Creek and Long Level Road intersection or at the Silver Creek Water Plant. "The reason we are here [Thursday] is to approve the agreement with Hunt, which would spell out withdraw points for 157,000 gallons of finished water," said chairman Eric Poague. "All of the other details are the same, the only thing that was changed is we eliminated the withdraw point on Market Street, which DEP had a problem with because that would be taking out of the Powers Run side of the water system." Members of the JMA held a meeting with the regional director and members of DEP last Friday in Meadville to review necessary requirements for them to begin selling water."All in all I would say it was a so-so meeting," Poague said. "The regional director seemed very cooperative and wanted to get us to the point where we could sell water. He realized that we have millions of dollars to gain from the sale of the water, but they want us to jump through some hoops first before they will let that happen."Pick up a copy of the Friday, July 1, 2011 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

Be careful who you meet online. On May 8 in China's Henan province, Gao Xin (not his real name) found out the hard way after going out with a woman he met on the internet.
Later, the woman's pissed off boyfriend approached Gao. The boyfriend, along with several friends, attacked him and inserted a 1.2-meter computer wire into, ahem, the 27 year-old's urethra.
According to news site Want China Times, Gao was afraid to tell his parents about the incident and too embarrassed to seek medical help. He unsuccessfully tried to remove the wire himself before finally visiting the hospital. Doctors were able to remove the wire via surgery. Thankfully, the injury will not cause permanent damage to Gao's reproduction organ.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. wheat growers are applauding an Oct. 3 decision by the United States International Trade Commission to begin assessing tariffs on Canadian wheat that they say is being "dumped" into U.S. markets.
The battle between wheat growers on both sides of the Canadian-U.S. border has increasingly heated up by allegations that the Canadian Wheat Board dumps its wheat into the United States and engages in unfair competition, selling at below-market prices.
A ruling by the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) finds that the U.S. wheat industry is being materially injured by reason of imports of hard red spring wheat from Canada that the U.S. Department of Commerce has determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.
As a result of the commission's ruling, the U.S. Department of Commerce will issue countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on imports of hard red spring wheat from Canada.
"Earlier this summer, the Commerce Department finally and firmly confirmed what the U.S. wheat industry has long alleged — that Canadian wheat is being dumped in this country at less than fair market value. There is no question, no waffling, and no wavering on that point," U.S. Wheat Associates President Alan Tracy said. "The commission voted on whether the injury was deep enough to warrant the imposition of countervailing and antidumping duties on Canadian wheat imports. This is a decision that is not made lightly, and the injury standards are high."
Tracy said, "The results of the earlier Commerce Department decisions and today's ITC decisions are so clear that more people than ever now understand the anti-competitive nature of the Canadian wheat system. We trust that Canadian Wheat Board and Canadian government officials will also understand."
The recent action, he said, provides "much-needed relief for American hard red spring wheat growers who have suffered from the unfair pricing practices of the monopoly Canadian Wheat Board," said Larry Lee, a wheat producer and North Dakota Wheat Commission chairman.
"The action of the North Dakota Wheat Commission, with the full support of U.S. Wheat Associates, was not aimed at the Canadian wheat producers who suffer needlessly under an archaic and tyrannical monopoly, but is simply a desire to obtain justice for American farmers," he said. "The struggle to obtain a just and level playing field for U.S. wheat growers does not end here. We will continue to oppose the unfair trading practices of the CWB, and we do it in full confidence that, eventually, this archaic system will fall."
U.S. Wheat Associates Chairman Alan Lee wants to see the issue of state trading enterprises resolved through the WTO "because American wheat farmers are also injured by the Canadian Wheat Board's and the Australian Wheat Board's unfair tactics in markets throughout the world."

The Episcopal Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Chestnut Hill, took a leading role ushering in the Advent/Christmas season for the residents of Philadelphia's most beautiful neighborhood. The historic church hosted Vox Renaissance Consort's "A Renaissance Noel" Friday night, Nov. 30. It then celebrated the First Sunday in Advent with a Procession and Service of Lessons & Carols Dec. 2. Both events were heard in what is arguably the region's most pristine example of the Gothic Revival.
St. Martin's music director, Eric Meyer, led the church's Chancel Choir Sunday evening in a daunting roster of mostly unaccompanied choral works in between readings taken from both the Old and New Testaments. The evening's most telling interpretation was that given its most sublime work: William Byrd's "Ave verum Corpus" (Hail True Body). Although Queen Elizabeth I had officially established the Church of England as an independent reformed body by the time of Byrd's life in the second half of the 16th century, she permitted him to remain faithful to the Roman Catholic Church and compose music for its liturgies. Such a piece of music is his Latin "Ave verum Corpus." St. Martin's Chancel Choir under Meyer's direction sang Byrd's music superbly in pitch, balance and ensemble.
Also at St. Martin's Romanian-born Valentin Radu led the period-clad singers and players of Vox Renaissance Consort in a varied program of holiday choral and instrumental selections Friday evening. With but one exception, the "Renaissance Noel" concert was performed with panache and polish.
Radu and the Consort were at their most impressive in the program's finest scores. Lovely renditions were given William Byrd's "Lullaby, My Sweet Little Baby" and Tomas Luis Victoria's "O Regnum caeli – Natus est nobis." There were problems, however, in the two selections by Claudio Monteverdi. Both the "Ave Maris Stella" and the "Magnificat a sei voci" are taken from the seminal Italian composer's "Vespro della Beata Vergine" from 1610. In this mighty score, Monteverdi rounded out the highly polyphonic style of Renaissance sacred choral music and ushered in the more dramatic fashion of Baroque music, characterized by startling changes of tempo, texture and mood. The singing and playing in the "Ave Maris Stella" were a trifle unsteady, and there were major breakdowns in ensemble during the "Magnificat," with the tenors altogether missing some important entrances.
With "A Renaissance Noel" behind him, Radu will conduct the Ama Deus Ensemble in a performance of Handel's "Messiah" 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, in St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Chestnut Hill. "If there is one piece of classical music that says, 'This is Christmastime,' it would be George Frideric Handel's 'Messiah!'" said Radu.
The Romanian-born conductor explained that he had formed his opinion of "Messiah" while growing up in Romania during its communist dictatorship. "Religious works were banned from public performance," he said, "but I am not alone in this belief. I simply cannot go through December without performing 'Messiah,' and this December, I will conduct the Ama Deus Ensemble a total of six times in two weeks."
"I thoroughly enjoy performing in St. Paul's Church. The gorgeous, ornate woodwork helps produce a beautiful, burnished sound that also makes every note come across with crispness. These excellent acoustics add greatly to the experiences of both the audience and the performers."
For ticket information, call 610-688-2800 or visit www.VoxAmaDeus.org.
Donald Runnicles guest-conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra last weekend in a trio of concerts heard in the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall. I caught the Saturday night performance and came away mildly disappointed in the renditions given both Beethoven's "First Piano Concerto" and a suite of orchestral highlights from Wagner's "The Ring of Nibelung."
Lars Vogt was the soloist in the Beethoven, and his rendition lacked a distinctive interpretive point of view other than playing technically accurately. He imposed on the audience a self-indulgently long cadenza in the concerto's first movement that seemed to take an eternity to complete – all to no substantive avail. With the memory and recordings of such giants as Rubenstein, Serkin, Fleisher and Brendel so readily available, is mediocrity really acceptable?
In assembling a five-movement suite from the four operas that comprise Wagner's "Ring" cycle, Runnicles was following in the footsteps of Leopold Stokowski, the Philadelphians' legendary maestro who was appointed music director a century ago. Runnicles fell somewhat short of the daunting standard of Stokowski and his successor, Eugene Ormandy, Saturday night. While the playing was good, it never rose to the level of "fabulous" because he failed to offer the shimmering textures that form the basis of Wagner's counterpoint. It was a splendid opportunity sadly missed.

Since about the time I asked the question, What is the precise relationship between "prodsimplicial sets" and rooted trees? I have been playing with these rooted trees and their correspondence to certain regular cell complexes. If $T$ is a rooted tree, let $X_T$ be the regular cell complex associated with $T$. Then if $X_T$, and $X_{T'}$ are isomorphic as regular cell complexes (not as spaces), then are the trees, $T$ and $T'$ isomorphic?
Some Backround
Let us sketch the association between rooted trees and this class of regular cell complexes.
The tree that consists of one element and no edges will be sent to the one point space.
If $T$ is a tree, then we may form the join $pnt*T$ thinking of the tree as a partial order with some properties, and adding a disjoint point as a new mininmal element.) Will give us the cone on $X_T$. Where we cone the cell complex in the standard way.
If $T_1, T_2, \ldots T_n$ are trees, the the tree $graft(T_1,T_2,\ldots T_n)$ (which is obtained by identifying all the roots) gets sent to $T_1\times T_2\times\ldots T_n$.

Laurie Penny has published a remarkably ill informed piece over at the New Statesman today. Ordinarily, I would have described it as "disappointing" but to do so would overlook the spectacular decline of the Staggers in recent years. Penny writes:
The difference between Tahrir Square and Parliament Square is one of scale, but not of substance. Across the world, ordinary people are being denied a voice, shut out of work and education, having their dignity trashed.
Penny misses the point entirely about the Egyptian revolution and, more broadly, what is transpiring elsewhere in the Middle East. She argues:
It was youth unemployment, graduate unrest and soaring food prices that catalysed the toppling of dictators in Egypt and Tunisia;
The catalyst for the Egyptian revolution was not unemployment or inflation. Those things matter, of course, but to suggest that is what has motivated these protests only illuminates how little Penny knows.
Agitations for reform built solidly after the murder of Khaled Said in Alexandria last June. Arrested by the police for exposing their corruption, they beat him mercilessly in the street. Said's skull was smashed into marble tables and staircases in broad daylight. The police didn't care about the onlookers. Why would they? They would operate with impunity.
Penny sees similar horrors at home:
I'm standing in Euston Road with 150 anti-cuts protesters, who have occupied the thoroughfare after being wrestled out of Camden Council's budget meeting by a solid wall of police.
"Wrestled out"; "a solid wall of police"; sounds rough.
Protesters on the Arab street are not a bunch of youths demanding the government spend public money on them. They are fighting for political accountability and liberty.
When Egyptians took to the streets, they expected to be arrested and tortured. Many were. Almost everyone I interviewed in Tahrir Square for this magazine told me they would die for their cause. Many did.
It is impossible to draw equivalences between protesters in the Middle East and those opposing budget cuts in London. There is a world of difference between Tahrir Sqaure and Parliament Square.

Kicker13 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 49 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Design a logo for a bar discount card. Would like to use BC for bar card and a martini glass. Would like it stylish and trendy that would look good on t-shirts, business cards, and the web. The BC is the most important part of the logo, and we want something new, sort of how Under Armour and DC skate shoes and Christian Audigier use their letters but make an actual logo out of them. Please refer to these logos to get the idea of what we are looking for.
I want a logo that portrays my brand for promoting bars and events. Target audience in 21 to 35. I would like a logo that looks good for use on the front of a bar discount card with OmahaBarCard.com underneath. I am 25 years old and like the billabong, DC, hurley and ed hardy clothing lines. The company is about going out and partying, while saving a dime.
- Item 1...BC for bar card
- martini glass
- omahabarcard.com
- lime green and black
- keep it hip and classy
- A recognizable "BC" Logo with the martini glass incorporated in somehow, like a brand symbol such as the DC shoes logo or the Hurley Logo. Something that can stand by itself and be recognized as the BarCard logo.
- Item 1...no graffiti
- Simple fonts for the BC letters
- big martini glasses taking the main focus away from the BC
