This chapter describes issues associated with Oracle Forms. It includes the following topics:
This section describes general issues and workarounds. It includes the following topics:
Section 43.1.1, "Backwards Compatibility with Earlier Releases"
For information about upgrading from Forms 6i, see the "Upgrading to Oracle Forms Services 11g" chapter in Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms Services Deployment Guide. For information about changed or obsolete features, see the Oracle Forms Upgrading Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 11g Guide.
For upgrading from Oracle Forms 10g and prior releases, you can use the Upgrade Assistant. For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Planning Guide and Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer.
Additional information about backwards compatibility is included in My Oracle Support Note 113987.1 at:
Regardless from which version of Oracle Forms you are upgrading, you will need to recompile your applications and restart Oracle Forms.
This section describes issues related to Oracle Forms and Microsoft Windows. It includes the following topics:
Section 188.8.131.52, "Invoking Reports when Forms and Reports are on Different Instances"
Section 184.108.40.206, "Using JAWS and Java Access Bridge with Oracle Forms"
Section 22.214.171.124, "Stop dejvm Before Stopping and Restarting WLS_FORMS"
Section 18.104.22.168, "Precedence of Second ORACLE_INSTANCE in Registry"
Section 22.214.171.124, "Unable to Run Forms of the First Installation by Default"
When using Forms Builder with JAWS, the shortcut keys Ctrl+Insert to create items are not working.
As a workaround, use the menu-mnemonics. Use Alt+e to open the Edit menu, then r to choose Create to create items.
When Forms and Reports are configured in different instances, set the correct
ORACLE_HOME and
ORACLE_INSTANCE values at the shell and invoke the Forms Builder from the shell rather than from the Windows shortcut menu, otherwise invoking the Reports Builder from within the Forms Builder fails.
JAWS and Java Access Bridge are not installed by default in Oracle Forms 11g. You can install the Java Access Bridge 2.0.1 using the download instructions at
http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge/. The JAWS scripts for the Oracle Forms Builder are installed in
Before restarting the Oracle WebLogic managed server, all the JVM Controller processes (dejvm) started by that server must be stopped. Otherwise, WLS_FORMS will not restart after a shutdown.
When two Oracle instances with Forms Services are configured, using a single
ORACLE_HOME on a Windows machine, then the
FORMS_ORACLE_INSTANCE registry entry of the second
ORACLE_INSTANCE takes precedence. It is recommended that the Forms Builder component is configured in the second
Oracle Forms from the first installation does not run by default on a Windows machine with more than one version of Forms. This is because when Fusion Middleware is installed on Windows, the new
$ORACLE_HOME/bin is added to the beginning of the system variable PATH. Subsequent installations result in addition of
$ORACLE_HOME/bin to the beginning of the system variable PATH. To run the prior installed versions, as a workaround, edit the system variable PATH. Move the
$ORACLE_HOME/bin that you want to use to the front of the variable PATH.
This section describes configuration issues and their workarounds. It includes the following topics:
Section 43.2.1, "Non-Internet Explorer Browser Proxy Settings when Using One-Button-Run"
Section 43.2.2, "WebUtil Client Files Allow Configuration of Destination Directory"
Section 43.2.3, "webutil.properties Files Renamed for Different Libraries"
Section 43.2.4, "Forms does not Work with JDK 1.6.0_12 on Client with WinRunner"
Section 43.2.5, "JavaScript Communication Does not Work in IE7 for Framed HTML File"
Section 43.2.6, "Modification of Forms J2EE Application Deployment Descriptors"
If you encounter a FORBIDDEN error when using One-Button-Run with any of the supported browsers other than Internet Explorer, verify if 127.0.0.1 (localhost) is in the proxy settings for your browser. If 127.0.0.1 is not in the exceptions list, then add it. This ensures that the browser will bypass the proxy server.
WebUtil downloads
install.syslib libraries into the bin directory of the JRE or JVM on Windows and into the lib directory of JRE on Linux. This location can be specified in the parameter
install.syslib.location.client.<OS> = <Path on client machine> (where
<Path on client machine> represents the path to the location where libraries used on the client by WebUtil are stored and is either absolute or relative to client user home) in
install.syslib libraries are downloaded, WebUtil creates the
webutil.properties file which is located in the client user home. Different webutil.properties files are maintained on client side to allow different servers to download and manage their libraries on client. The files are named
webutil.<HOST>.<CONFIG>.properties on the client, where
HOST is the server computer name and
CONFIG is the name of configuration section in
Forms does not run when using JDK 1.6.0_12 and later versions on a client that also has WinRunner installed.
As a workaround, rename the two environment variables
_JAVA_OPTIONS and
JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS. For example, rename them to
test_JAVA_OPTIONS and
test_JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS. This will disable WinRunner but allows Forms to run.
JavaScript communication does not work in framed HTML file that is opened in Internet Explorer 7 with file:// protocol.
As a workaround, use the IP address instead of the machine name in the URL for the frame. For example in testform.htm, change:
<frame noresize="noresize" src="http://testform.us.oracle.com:8888/forms/java/js2frm1.html" name="fr2" frameborder="0"> <frame noresize="noresize" src="http://testform.us.oracle.com:8888/forms/frmservlet?play=&record=forms& form=js2frm1&userid=scott/tiger@adt10220" name="fr1" frameborder="0">
<frame noresize="noresize" src="http://10.229.147.186:8888/forms/java/js2frm1.html" name="fr2" frameborder="0"> <frame noresize="noresize" src="http://10.229.147.186:8888/forms/frmservlet?play=&record=forms&form=js2fr m1&userid=scott/tiger@adt10220" name="fr1" frameborder="0">
Post-deployment, Forms J2EE application deployment descriptors (
application.xml and
weblogic-application.xml) cannot be modified in Oracle WebLogic Server.
As a workaround, perform the following steps to customize the Forms J2EE application deployment descriptors and redeploy the application:
Back up the default formsapp deployment plan,
$DOMAIN_HOME/ deploymentplans/formsapp/11.1.1/plan.xml.
Add the deployment descriptors customizations to the Forms J2EE application's deployment plan.
Using the WebLogic Administration Console, update the forms application (redeploy) and select the option Update this application in place with new deployment plan changes.
Restart the Forms J2EE application using the WebLogic Administration Console.
Note:For more information on updating the deployment plan, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Deploying Applications to Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.1).
For example, to override the Forms Servlet
testMode parameter and set it to true, perform the following steps:
Enter the following commands:
Mkdir –p $CLASSIC_ORACLE_HOME/forms/j2ee/backup cd $CLASSIC_ORACLE_HOME/forms/j2ee cp $DOMAIN_HOME/deploymentplans/formsapp/11.1.1/plan.xml backup/ Vi $DOMAIN_HOME/deploymentplans/formsapp/11.1.1/plan.xml

The best way to learn how to lead is to follow a compentent leader and observe their placements carefully as you remove them. After you follow a climb and clean it (without falling), then go right back and lead it as soon as you can. You will have confidence on lead knowing a) where the placements are, and b) that you already did the climb without falls. Good luck and be safe.
Or you could just lead the thing.... you gotta start sometime.
True though I don't think Kiddy Crack is a good first lead at the grade... The Chimney at Square Ledge, and West Face of Square, are far better 1st leads...

Mark Hayward's City Matters: Fallen hero given chance to restore lusterBY MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 30. 2013 9:55PM
IF YOU WERE in a Hillsborough County Superior Courtroom on Jan. 14, you most likely heard people call the strapping, handsome Daniel Doherty a hero.
The Manchester police officer faced the street punk who tried to kill him and wished him off to a life behind bars. His fellow officers, rightfully so, applauded as Doherty walked out of the courtroom. Cameras flashed. Hero material for sure.
The past 10 years has been a decade of heroes: Curt Schilling and the 2004 Red Sox were called heroes. Police officers wounded and killed in the line of duty. And, of course, the men and women who went half a world away to fight terrorism and defend freedom.
Same day, same building that Doherty was being honored, things weren't going so well for one of those heroes.
Emotionally shattered, Jon Labore, 28, faced a judge. The Iraqi war veteran had just admitted to 14 felonies, which involved the burglaries of his grandmother's West Side home and the theft of firearms stored there.
On seven different days, he used an outside key to enter the Kelley Street home in December 2011 and January 2012. He stole nine shotguns and rifles and sold them to two nearby gun shops.
Family and prosecutors wanted him sent to state prison for at least 2½ years. Labore, who suffers from drug addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder, was hoping to get into a residential treatment program.
Ten years ago, he was cocksure and brash. The Christmas before Labore shipped out, he told relatives he couldn't wait to get to Iraq and kill some sand (expletive), one relative said in court.
Then he actually set foot in Iraq. Nothing like intense firefights, the smell of death and a nearly fatal rocket attack to create an attitude adjustment.
Labore returned to the United States and became addicted to the painkiller Percocet. He told police he stole and sold the guns to buy drugs. His advocates in court included Diane Levesque, who is veterans justice outreach coordinator at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Manchester.
Labore was diagnosed with PTSD in 2006, but Levesque said it's not unusual for veterans to ignore the ailment. They may dabble with treatment, but that means reliving the trauma and fear that caused the problem in the first place. Drugs and alcohol make for an easier treatment.
"There is a lot of avoidance. Avoidance is part of PTSD," she said.
Once police caught Labore, he enrolled in a Veteran Administration drug treatment program in Massachusetts.
He now takes three prescription medications - one to suppress nightmares, one to treat depression, another to temper his mood and help him sleep.
"I thought I was angry before, but when I got out of the Army, every single negative emotion was highly intensified," Labore said during the court hearing.
Were he arrested in New York, California or 25 other states, Labore would probably find himself in a veteran court, a special court where judges work with organizations such as the VA to devise a treatment program for veterans in order to avoid jail time.
An October CBS "60 Minutes" broadcast reported that 100 courts are in place across the country and another 100 are in the planning stages.
Laura Kiernan, a spokeswoman for the New Hampshire court system, said this week court officials and the New Hampshire Bar met to discuss a veteran court in New Hampshire. They decided to hold seminars to educate judges and court officials about veteran issues but opted against a veteran court.
Kiernan noted New Hampshire already has specialty courts to address drug and mental health issues.
"We don't have the resources at this point to assign one particular judge to a specialty court," Kiernan said.
So the futures of the Jon Labores will be in the hands of people such as David Garfunkel, the Hillsborough County Superior Court judge who decided his case. Hillsborough County prosecutor Lisa Drescher wanted a 2½- to 7-year prison sentence. Skeptical, she noted that Labore signed up for treatment only after police caught him.
His uncles, too, wanted prison time. Steve Letares is a Homeland Security officer who had to notify his superiors that his weapons had been stolen. John Letares said the burglary has placed the victim of the crime, Labore's grandmother, into such fear that she can't live alone and has moved in with him.
"He's entitled," John Letares said about his nephew's PTSD diagnosis. "He takes these two or three little pills and thinks 'Ahh, that's why I do what I do, I'm depressed.' He should be responsible for his actions."
That day, the senior judge in the courthouse, Gillian Abramson, sent Myles Webster to state prison for 60 years for trying to kill Officer Doherty. Easy job, compared to the decision that Judge Garfunkel had to make. After all, the crime involved guns, and Newtown, Conn., had just finished burying 27 victims of gun violence.
Labore is not in state prison. He'll be at the Cherry Street program, a residential drug treatment program that the VA runs in Massachusetts, until October. He'll have to participate in individual and group therapy. He'll have to work. He'll be subject to random drug testing.
He'll be under probation for five years after he gets out, and if he gets arrested within the next seven years, a suspended 7½- to 15-year prison sentence could be activated. He also has to do community service and make restitution.
"I do recognize that the ongoing problem presented by our returning veterans is one that the country has not grappled with successfully," Garfunkel said, "and none of us can know in any way the experiences our young men went through, and are going trough, in a very dangerous part of the world."
Garfunkel addressed Labore as "sir," told him he had a difficult road ahead of him and that consequences will be severe if he screws up. But I'll bet he expects Labore will make it; perhaps he recognized the hero potential.

John Habib's City Sports: A couple of Pioneers are on the move
By JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
Two athletes from Trinity High of Manchester — one former, one current — are advancing their respective sports careers.
Chris Brickley
, with weighty endorsements from Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino and the New York Knicks brother tandem of guards
J.R. Smith
, on Tuesday landed a job as an entry-level trainer with the Knicks.
Coincidentally, the Knicks are in town to play the Celtics in an exhibition game tonight at Verizon Wireless Arena. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, Trinity senior
Carmen Giampetruzzi Jr.
is set to sign with Boston College on National Letter of Intent Day, Nov. 2. Like Brickley before him, Giampetruzzi has been a standout basketball player for the Pioneers — as well as the starting quarterback for their highly successful football team — but his letter of intent will be for baseball.
- - - - - - -
BRICKLEY, who scored 1,578 career points at Trinity and led the state in scoring his senior season (28.7 points per game), started his collegiate career at Northeastern University in 2005. He transferred to NCAA Division II Southern New Hampshire University and played a full season in 2006-07 and seven games during the 2007 fall semester, then moved on to Louiville, where he joined Pitino and the Cardinals in January 2008 as a walk-on. After a redshirt season, he concluded his playing career in 2009-10.
At Louisville, Brickley was a teammate of Chris Smith, who introduced him to J.R. It was J.R. Smith who originally recommended Brickley to the Knicks this past summer, when Brickley was between jobs with the basketball staffs of Fairleigh Dickinson and Pace Universities, but it was a call from Pitino to New York general manager
Allan Houston
that secured the Granite Stater his first NBA job.
"You knew Chris Brickley wanted to be a coach," Pitino told the website Bleacher Report. "He was a basketball junkie and wanted to learn the game. If you believe in someone, I knew he could do a really good job. I'm not one that makes phone calls and recommends people that I don't think would impact the franchise."
Chris Bernard
, the Knicks' vice president of player development, offered Brickley the job, according to Bleacher Report. Brickley told the website he will be included in workouts, practices and some game-day preparation.
"I am excited about the opportunity to work for such an outstanding organization," he told the website. "I will work tirelessly to do my part in helping the Knicks have a successful season."
- - - - -- -
A COUPLE of decades before Giampetruzzi first began making a name for himself as a a multi-sport athlete, the name Carmen Giampetruzzi was associated with New Hampshire College (now Southern New Hampshire University) basketball.
From 1982-86,
Carmen Sr.
totaled 1,928 career points for the Penmen — all before the advent of the 3-point shot in college ball. As a sophomore, he led all New England Division II players in scoring, averaging 21.1 points a game. As a senior, he led NHC to a 24-7 record and a berth in the NCAA tournament.
His performance in the classroom, however, didn't quite match his exploits on the court.
"I have nothing but great memories playing at New Hampshire College, but I made many mistakes along the way — mistakes I didn't want my son to make," the senior Giampetruzzi said. "There's a saying a good person learns from his mistakes and a great person learns from others."
The advice Giampetruzzi gave to his son was to hit the books and be involved in extracurricular activities.
"I'm proud to say my son took my advice to heart. He's carrying a 4.30 GPA, has joined school clubs and plays three sports at a high level," Carmen Sr. said.
That three-sport versatility made an impression on BC coach
Mike Gambino
, Giampetruzzi said.
Now a BC coach in another sport —
Ryan Day
, the former Manchester High Central and University of New Hampshire quarterback who now serves as offensive coordinator for the BC football team — has invited the Giampetruzzi family and friends to the Heights for a letter-of-intent signing ceremony on Nov. 2, which also happens to be the date Day and the Eagles host Virginia Tech.
Carmen Jr. plans to major in biology at Boston College, his father said, but first there's some unfinished business to complete with the Pioneers.
"He's won a state football and basketball title, and he'd love to leave Trinity with a baseball title," Carmen Sr. said of his son. "He wants to play at the Northeast Delta Dental Stadium and win the title there next spring. He wants that more than anything right now."

Kuster on late tax payments: 'Life is expensive and it caught up to us'Staff Report
February 11. 2013 3:17PM
U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster's return to New Hampshire for the first time since media reports surfaced last week that she was late in making six consecutive property tax payments, totaling nearly $40,000, touched off more Republican criticism Monday.
All of the payments were eventually made. The final payment on her home in Hopkinton and two overdue payments on a home in Jackson that Kuster rents out did not come until media reported on the delinquencies, however.
Republicans for the past week have slammed Democrat Kuster, who has reported having assets worth about $2 million.
Kuster released a short statement a week ago apologizing for the delay and promising that "all future tax payments will be delivered promptly."
Republicans have demanded that Kuster go further and explain why she missed the payments.
She told WMUR television on Monday that she had no excuse and again apologized and took respoinsibility.
"The reality is we have two kids. Life is expensive and it caught up to us," she said.
New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley on Monday virtually announced on his Twitter account that Kuster visited the party office in Concord.
"LOL! I tell staff to dress up 'cause you never know who will stop by. Today I'm wearing jeans because of snowfall. @repkuster just walked in," Buckley wrote on Twitter.
But Kuster did not return to the state Monday, despite reports to the contrary. She had been in the state at least since Sunday.
She was at Southern New Hampshire University on Sunday at the send-off for the deployment to Afghanistan of the New Hampshire Army National guard, 237th Military Police Company. Also attending were Gov. Maggie Hassan and other members of the state's congressional delegation.
State Republican Party spokesman Meg Stone responded said after Kuster's television interview that Kuster left questions unanswered.
"Once again, Congresswoman Kuster failed to be upfront with her constituents and offer a plausible explanation for her long history of late tax payments," Stone said. "She refused to explain why, despite a net worth of nearly $2 million, ownership of two vacation homes, a lucrative corporate lobbying career, and investments in over 20 mutual funds, she wasn't paying her fair share in taxes. And she didn't explain why despite having the resources needed to immediately settle her tax obligations, she decided to make the payments only after the media caught her red-handed."
The National Republican Congressional Committee released a new web video criticizing what it called Kuster's "reckless financial behavior."
The video shows a clip of Kuster saying, "Congress is living by their own set of rules," and then contends, "But after just one month, she fits right in."
"Kuster's financial mess and disappointing response have left New Hampshire families questioning her leadership," said NRCC spokesman Ian Prior "It is preposterous that Kuster calls for higher taxes at every opportunity, yet fails to pay her own when they are due."
Kuster's office did not respond to requests for comment on the NHGOP statement and the NRCC web video.
But NHDP Chair Buckley said: "I continue to find it unbelievable that the same party that just elected as Chair a person with a lien of over 90K for years of back taxes continue to keep unpaid taxes in the news. When Congresswoman Kuster became aware of her small back tax bill, she immediately paid it.in full. When Chairwoman Horn's tax woes were revealed, she called it part of 'personal attacks on my family.'
"From Chairwoman Horn's tax lien; to former Congressman Frank Guinta's mystery bank account, I would say thay Republican should worry about getting their own personal financial houaes in order before spending anymore time thinking about anyone else," Buckley said.

Two drivers hurt in crash on Everett Turnpike Friday
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
NASHUA - Two drivers were hospitalized with serious injuries after a motor vehicle crash on the Everett Turnpike Friday night.
According to state police, Carol Maffetione, 63, of Manchester was driving north between Exits 1 and 2 shortly after 9:30 p.m. when her 2004 Honda drifted into the breakdown lane and hit the guard rail head-on. The vehicle came to rest across the right travel and breakdown lanes.
Another driver, Albert Champagne, 62, of Portsmouth came upon the Honda, crashing into it and then striking the guard rail. The impact pushed the Honda even further into the roadway and left Champagne's 1995 Ford facing oncoming traffic, police said.
Maffetione was taken to St. Joseph Hospital and Champagne was taken to Southern New Hampshire Regional Medical Center. Both were admitted with serious injuries, police said.
Traffic on the turnpike was reduced to one lane for about 45 minutes after the crash while state police investigated.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed or has information about the crash to contact Trooper D.C. Myer at Troop B at 666-3333.
State police said this was the second serious crash on the turnpike in as many nights. With the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, state police plan an increased presence on the roadways.

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Minnesota confirmed 23 more flu-related deaths Thursday, raising the season total to 27 for what Health Commissioner Edward Ehlinger called the state's most severe flu outbreak in several years.
More than 1,100 people have been hospitalized with flu-like symptoms statewide this season, the Minnesota Department of Health said in a weekly update, and the commissioner said it's putting stress on the health care system. Several hospitals have restricted visitors in an attempt to protect patients and staff.
Twenty-three of the state's deaths and 62 percent of the hospitalizations have been in people 65 and older, the department said.
"If you have not received your flu shot it is not too late, but the sooner the better," Ehlinger told reporters.
People who are sick with flu symptoms should stay home from work or school to help blunt the outbreak, he said.
Flu activity is hitting hard around the U.S, with most states classifying it as widespread.
Kris Ehresmann, the department's infectious disease director, said in an interview that Minnesota's last couple flu seasons were "very, very mild," while this one is "very robust and very busy." She said she didn't want to downplay what's happening now, but stressed that this is what a flu season often looks like.
Department data show that Minnesota recorded 67 flu-related deaths and more than 1,800 hospitalizations during the 2009-2010 season, 70 deaths and more than 970 hospitalizations in the 2010-2011 season, and 33 deaths and more than 550 hospitalizations in the 2011-2012 season.
"All of our indicators are that this is a very, very busy and bad season, but it's important to keep in perspective that this is what influenza is," Ehresmann said.

NEW YORK (AP) — More than 1 million historical artifacts and documents from the Ellis Island Immigration Museum have been moved to storage facilities while damage to the island from Superstorm Sandy is repaired.
The museum sits on an island next to the Statue of Liberty in the center of New York Harbor. It's closed due to severe damage to its infrastructure. The statue also is closed.
The collection was unharmed by the late October storm. But museum superintendent Dave Luchsinger says it's impossible to maintain the climate-controlled environment needed to protect the artifacts because there's no power.
Most of the items were moved in recent weeks to the federal Museum Resources Center in Landover, Md. The Mudder Museum collection from Ellis Island's Ferry Building previously was moved to the Harpers Ferry conservation center in West Virginia.

Holiday's strong return to Philadelphia powers Pelicans to 121-105 victory
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
PHILADELPHIA – The crowd greeted Jrue Holiday with a warm ovation in the All-Star's first trip back to Philadelphia since the 76ers traded him to the Pelicans over the summer.
Holiday returned the favor by putting on a show with 20 points and 13 assists, leading New Orleans to a 121-105 victory on Friday night.
"It's fun being back and the crowd showing me a little bit of love," Holiday said. "I didn't hear too many boos, so that's a little surprising, but definitely a good thing.
"Just cause it's Philly, anything can happen, especially with the boos. You just never know. I'm glad it was a good quote-unquote welcome back."
Eric Gordon scored 26 points and Holiday added seven rebounds as the Pelicans (7-8) snapped a four-game road skid.
Holiday, an All-Star last season for the Sixers, was sent to New Orleans in a deal that netted Philadelphia No. 6 overall pick Nerlens Noel and a future first-rounder.
"It's great Jrue did well," said Sixers forward Evan Turner, a teammate of Holiday's for three seasons. "Obviously we wanted a win. A guy like Jrue, you want him on your side, but once again, I wish nothing but success for him and for him to keep growing as he is."
Tony Wroten scored 24 points on 9-for-13 shooting off the bench, and Spencer Hawes contributed 12 points and nine boards for the 76ers (6-11). Wroten (lower back) and Hawes (knee) both played for the first time in three games, but Philadelphia lost for the ninth time in its last 11.
"They're a good team," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. "They're a hard team for us to guard. I think at times when we tried to extend the defense and press, they went through it and they had success at the back end, even when we went through the press."
Missed opportunities plagued the Sixers. On one possession in the third quarter, James Anderson missed three straight open 3-pointers after Thaddeus Young grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds. After the third miss, Young pulled down another offensive board and drew a foul going back up, but he missed both free throws.
The Sixers were a miserable 9 for 21 (43 percent) at the free throw line. Conversely, the Pelicans were 11 for 14 (79 percent) on free throws.
"We still gave up 105 points," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. "From my standpoint, you give up 30 points in the first quarter, there's a lot to be desired. But it is a lineup that can cause problems, we just have to learn how to defend and share the ball better."
New Orleans took a 12-point lead late in the second quarter on Anthony Davis' fast-break layup after a steal by Holiday to cap off a 15-2 run.
The Sixers responded with a pair of 3-pointers and an 8-2 run of their own to end the half down 61-55.
Gordon and Ryan Anderson led the Pelicans at the break with 11 points apiece. Turner also had 11, including three of the Sixers' nine first-half 3-pointers. They went cold in the second half, making just three from beyond the arc.
New Orleans shot 55 percent from the field, including 8 for 20 (40 percent) on 3-pointers.
Just two weeks ago, the Pelicans clobbered the Sixers in a 135-98 affair in New Orleans. Friday's game marked the final of two meetings between the clubs this season.
"I'm gonna be for real, I'm glad we beat 'em twice," Holiday said. "Obviously it's good to see old teammates, it's great to come back here and feel the love from the fans, but it feels good to beat them."
NOTES: The Sixers allowed their opponent triple-digit points for the 15th time in 17 games. ... Hawes' double-double streak ended at three games. ... Sunday, the Sixers face the Pistons in Detroit and the Pelicans play the Knicks in New York.

It's hard to keep up with everything floating around about Twitter, Facebook and the like. We know. So here are a few social media noteables to keep tabs on this week.
Twitter music app -- nope, still not out
The new music community app from Twitter launched exclusively to music "influencers"--like Ryan Seacrest? OK ... -- last week on an invite-only basis, and, so far, it sounds promising. According to tech bloggers who have tried it, Twitter Music will have both a web interface and a downloadable app; integrate with YouTube and Vevo; pull in tracks from Spotify, iTunes, Rdio and Soundcloud; include a charts feature from We Are Hunted, the app Twitter recently acquired; and allow for track purchases. No word on when it will be widely available yet: music.twitter.com.
Mailbox app now available to all
Finally! No more waiting in that neverending virtual reservation line. After testing the app's bandwidth for the 10 weeks it has been in the app store on a reservations-only basis, the hyped email app for iPhone is now available for all to download.
YouTube spotlight on Boston bombings videos
You can view a collection of videos uploaded to YouTube that contain footage of the explosions in Boston Monday via the site's "Spotlight" playlists feature. Go to youtube.com/youtube.
Facebook chat heads coming to iOS
Execs said early tuesday that the oddly-named messaging initiative will appear inside the iOS Facebook application as soon as late Tuesday. The "chat heads" allow for in-app chats with friends that, according to Facebook, improves on current mobile messaging capabilities. (Instead of receiving a notification of a new Facebook message, a "chat head" of the person messaging you will pop up.)
Daft Punk Vines new album tracklist
It's coming! The French duo released the tracklist of their anticipated new album, "Random Access Memories," via a six-second Vine video. Yes, all of the tracks sound super sexy. "Memories" is out May 21, so keep an eye out for more teasers on social media in the coming weeks.

We may not be able to control what's happening around us, but we can determine our reactions. That is one of the primary ways to cope with stress, whether it's brought on by sudden illness, a hurricane or job loss, says Ruth McKay, a medical family therapist who has worked at Upstate eight years.
She says the people who fare best under stress possess these traits:
* They have a level of intimacy with their friends and family so that they feel comfortable asking for help.
"For some of them, that's really hard to do because it's a change in their identity, and that can get in the way of dealing with stress – and can be a source of stress, too," says McKay. "If your identity is that you're a do-it-yourself, independent person, if the time comes that you need help, it changes your sense of who you are. And it can really change your sense about how the world is, too."
Friends and family may offer to help. McKay suggests having a list of things you can ask people to do for you.
Symptoms of caregiver suffering
* They accept that they have emotional reactions. Rather than beat themselves up for feeling angry or scared, for instance, they acknowledge their feelings and let them pass. They regularly make time for personal reflection or "time in."
Stressful situations may tempt a person to ask: why me? "Some people go to that place, and other people don't. If you're somebody who is used to being more reflective, it's less difficult when an existential kind of crisis comes up," she says.
* They maintain routines as much as possible, sleeping and eating at the same times each day and continuing exercise regimens. McKay explains this provides comfort, "and it's really good for mental health."
Practical solutions for caregiver stress
* They create workable plans for what they need to do, breaking tasks into manageable parts.
* They know whom they can talk to, and when and how.
"It's not enough that you talk to people. Somebody could think 'well I've had my vent for the day.' But that's not the same thing as being able to tell your whole story about what's bothering you to someone who is really listening and who is giving you the time to finish talking," McKay says.
* They take "mini-vacations" without leaving., They train themselves to take a deep breath and clear their mind every time the phone rings. Or, they think about nothing during their shower other than the warmth of the water and the smell of the shampoo.
* They sleep. Some people under stress need to sleep longer and can accomplish this by going to bed earlier. Some struggle to fall asleep because they can't turn off their minds. McKay recommends a relaxation tape. "If you listen to it every day for two weeks, it starts to become a routine."
* They know what they can do, immediately, to calm themselves. It may be taking a deep breath or letting down a ponytail, or sitting down instead of standing up.
* Overall, they make more positive comments than negative. McKay explains that humans have a survival mechanism that brings our attention to negativity because we needed to be alert to danger when we were living in caves. In modern times, we have to train ourselves to look for the positive.

Since its start in 1968 INCOTEC has gone through some major developments, including breaking away from Royal Sluis (which later became Seminis).
January 11th 2002 is an important date for INCOTEC. This is the day that INCOTEC became completely independent through a management buy-out. The company was taken over by a group of INCOTEC managers supported by NesBic, a Dutch Private Equity Fund.
During the last 10 years of independence the company has experienced turbulent developments. The turnover has almost tripled, the company, which already had branches in the Netherlands, USA, Japan and Brazil, has opened new locations in India, Australia, China and South Africa and the number of employees has increased from less than 200 to more than 400!
These developments have taken INCOTEC to the position of independent global market leader in improving and adding value to seeds and other genetic starting material.
We are proud to have reached this milestone and we anticipate a continuation of the growth with exceedingly innovative products and technologies and in this way we will make a contribution to securing a sustainable global food supply.
We are grateful to our customers, suppliers, employees and all our associates for the trust and support they have given through the years which has made INCOTEC what it is today.

Q: What is a good value for page life expectancy, and if the value is low, does that mean I need more server memory?
A: There's a lot of ambiguous and out-of-date information available about page life expectancy. Page life expectancy is an instantaneous measure of how long (in seconds) a data file page is expected to remain in memory in the buffer pool (also referred to as the buffer cache). Page life expectancy isn't a rolling average, so it should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Related: Page Life Expectancy a Reliable Indicator of SQL Server Memory Pressure
The commonly cited value to aim for is 300 seconds or more. This translates to five minutes, meaning a page will remain in memory for only five minutes. Therefore, all of the contents of the buffer pool will be renewed every five minutes, given the current pressure on the buffer pool to find new buffers for pages. For example, if you have a buffer pool that's 60GB, your SQL Server system is reading 60GB of data every five minutes, which is a pretty large amount.
The value of 300 seconds is a Microsoft recommendation in a white paper that was written five years ago. It's not a relevant guideline nowadays, and even back in 2006 I would have argued that aiming for a set value isn't a valid recommendation.
There's no set page life expectancy value that can be recommended. What you need to do is monitor the page life expectancy value trend and take action when the page life expectancy drops and stays below the typical value for your SQL Server instance. That value is going to be different for everyone.
If page life expectancy drops from your typical value and stays there, that means there's increased pressure on the buffer pool. Does that mean you need more memory? Possibly. If your workload has simply increased and the page life expectancy has been slowly trending downward, it's probably time to add more memory. If your workload hasn't changed, but there's increased buffer pool pressure, it could be that something else is using more memory (e.g., plan cache bloat). However, it's more likely that a query plan has changed unexpectedly (maybe from out-of-date statistics) and is now doing a large table scan rather than using nonclustered indexes, thus driving more reads through the buffer pool and lowering page life expectancy.
It's important to be careful when looking at page life expectancy that you don't just look at a single value of it and make a snap decision about the root cause of a downward trend. As with any performance analysis, trending is the key to good decision making.

Family and friends of two Volusia County men missing on Lake Jesup were distraught, tired and silent Sunday night as rescuers prepared for a second night of air search using infrared technology.
OVIEDO — Family and friends of two Volusia County men missing on Lake Jesup were distraught, tired and silent Sunday night as rescuers prepared for a second night of air search using infrared technology.
Seminole County deputies and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission continued their search for Charles "Charlie" Jackson, 26, of Deltona and Jason Cobb, 30, of Osteen.
Jackson's fishing boat was found in a weedy area of the lake Saturday after family members reported the pair did not return when expected, said wildlife commission Lt. Jeff Hudson.
"They left from Black Hammock (Adventures) Fish Camp about 1 a.m. Saturday," Hudson said. "They were headed to Lemon Bluff in Osteen but didn't make it."
Lemon Bluff is on the St. Johns River northeast of Lake Jesup.
Most friends and family members declined to talk with the media Sunday. A good Samaritan provided the family with a travel trailer to use as a base camp at the Black Hammock fish camp on the southern edge of Lake Jesup.
"We're tired and we just want some peace," said one family member, who declined to give his name.
The boat — a 15-foot Bass Tracker — was found undamaged and with the keys in the ignition in cattails less than a mile north of the fish camp, near Bird Island. Two life jackets, two paddles, eight unopened beer cans and one partly empty can of beer were on the boat, wildlife commission spokeswoman Joy Hill said.
Rescuers have been searching diligently for the two men since the boat was found Saturday afternoon.
"We think they were ejected from the boat, but that's a guess," Hill said by phone Sunday night. "We really don't know what happened."
Hudson said the boat was found about 30 to 40 minutes away from its destination, depending on boat speed.
"It's really hard to know where this happened," Hill said. "The boat could have drifted. This is a huge lake, and it's difficult to know where to start looking."
Several shoes have been found during the search, including one possibly belonging to one of the two men, Hudson said.
"A family member seemed to think this shoe could be one of theirs, but we don't have confirmation," he said.
The weary faces of loved ones were holding onto hope as they came off the water as the sun set Sunday, and they awaited the next phase of an infrared search by air.
"We just really don't have much to say," one young woman said.
Wildlife commission officials are asking volunteers not to participate in search efforts.
"Everyone is frustrated and concerned," Hill said. "We understand that, but searches are set up to protect the integrity of (the investigation)."
The search will continue until the men are found, Hill said.
Rescuers are not concerned about the alligator population in the lake because of the cold temperatures.
"This time of year they are pretty lethargic," Hudson said.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A prominent Iranian lawmaker says Tehran has material evidence to prove that it has captured an American unmanned aircraft.
The head of the Iranian parliament's defense committee Ismaeil Kowsari wouldn't specify what proof the Islamic Republic has to back up his claims. But he said Wednesday that Tehran will release more information on the aircraft soon.
Iran claimed on Tuesday that it captured a Boeing-designed ScanEagle drone recently after it entered Iranian air space over the Persian Gulf.
Cmdr. Jason Salata, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, said Tuesday that all U.S. drones in the region are "fully accounted for."
Other nations in the Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates, have ScanEagle drones in service.

Clarkson Computer Science Major Computes Savings on Electric Scooter
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/hajja.jpg ]
In the high tech world of software development and design faster is definitely better.
But when Clarkson University computer science major Mamoon Hajja heads to class every day he forgets about the importance of speed for awhile.
Instead he simply hops on his Wal-Mart electric scooter - and cruises to class in the slow lane.
"My average speed in the village is about 15 miles per hour," according to Hajja, a 25-year-old Clarkson computer science graduate student who hails from Jordan. "I can go 18 miles in an hour maximum. And up to 20 miles on one charge.
Hajja is one of a growing number of North Country residents looking for a way to beat the high price of gasoline, and he says his new Schwinn Electric Scooter from the world's most famous big box retailer is doing a pretty good job
"I bought it four days ago," he said. "It costs $300 new at the Wal-Mart but I bought it from a friend of mine who sold it to me for $150."
Hajja said he wakes up to find his electric scooter completely charged and ready to go every morning -- if he remembers to plug it in over night.
He claims one charge of the battery pack gives him enough juice to go to computer science classes at Clarkson, zip off to his part-time job on the other side of town, grab a bite to eat at lunch and then head back across town to his apartment at the end of the day.
Although he has only owned the machine for a few days, he says he likes it so far.
But the future scientist also says if he was the one in charge of designing the little electric scooter there would have to be a few changes.
"I would not make it go faster. I think 18 miles is suitable," he explained. "But I would make the battery bigger so you could go farther."
Hajja said he would also add a built in light on the front of the little machine since he was told by police that he needed both a helmet - and a front light - to make the scooter street legal.


text: Fishing: HowTo HowTo Posted 01-28-2013 Pipeline To Redfish Action Winter refuge awaits in Louisiana's marsh canals By: David A. Brown, OutdoorChannel.com Sometimes, life's unintended results are the most enjoyable. Such is the case for anglers fishing the network of manmade waterways cut through the Southern Louisiana marshes. Decades ago, the drilling industry dug a vast network of navigable channels to allow access to a smattering of wellheads, pumping stations and other structures. During winter, these deep, muddy waterways offer essential warmth for redfish struggling to survive the chilly months. In places such as Galiano, Golden Meadow, Leeville and Venice, inviting expanses of swaying grass, storm-blown trees and labyrinthine creeks are Louisiana's answer to Florida's Everglades. This habitat collectively called "the marsh" is a massive food production facility with a host of ambient accents ranging from roseate spoonbills and white pelicans, to alligators, otters and nutria. Click image for the photo gallery: Golden Meadow guide Troy Robichaux said the canal system's major selling point for redfish is depth – an attribute with seasonal significance. A steady redfish bite exists year-round, but canals are especially popular in winter, when fish seek stable temperatures in the 8- to 10-foot depths of these dredged ditches. "Canals are the deepest spots in the marsh," Robichaux notes. "Saltwater fish can't tolerate much cold weather, so when the tide drops off in cold times, canals give redfish and trout a safe zone. "When the redfish are in the canals, they're really active and it's nothing to catch a limit. But they just go to those canals as a survival mode. Redfish are generally going to want to be in the shallowest water they can. When they're in the canals, it's the water temperature that drives them there." Marty Duet, who also guides local marshes, said that the privately-owned canals see far less boat traffic than public areas like nearby Catfish Lake or the barrier islands. This semi-seclusion, plus abundant forage bodes well for reds. "Two things that influence a redfish are the amount of food [in an area] and the level of fishing pressure," he said. "The fish don't see as many boats in the [inner] marsh, so they stay in the area." Moreover, he said, constant coastal erosion means the outer mash and barrier island habitat sees increasing saltwater intrusion. This pushes more redfish toward the inner marsh and the pipeline canal environment. Here, the fish find cozy digs with no reason to leave until they reach offshore spawning age. Canals, with their higher edges, also provide a water-smoothing wind break. Anglers just ease along the edges with the trolling motor and watch the bottom machine for humps, points and any submerged structure that can help redfish corral their meals. Oyster shells along the banks – often visible at low tide – always indicate promising water. Reds find loads of crustaceans and invertebrates around these shells, so work a broad pattern along the shoreline and from shallow-to-deep water until you find the sweet spot. "In the pipeline canals, it's more structure-based fishing than sight fishing," Robichaux said "Some of these canals have flats off their edges and sometimes you can find the redfish tailing up in there." Tidal flats draining into a passing canal represent good high-water spots. Low tide reveals each area's fish-attracting features, such as depressions, stumps, and oyster colonies. Egrets clustered along shorelines indicate the presence of baitfish. On a falling tide, target the cuts connecting shallow runs to pipeline canals. Sitting on one of the points enables you to pick off fish exiting with the tide, as well as those ambushing baitfish on the outer corners. Quarter-ounce jigs with grub, shad or tube tails in darker colors like avocado, watermelon, pumpkinseed and root beer work best in the cold season. Gold spoons are also a good bet for covering water to find active fish, while artificial shrimp like the DOA and Gulp baits are usually an easy sell to hungry redfish.

Accidents, Injuries, and Health
Immigrant Workers' Rights
Did you know?
What you can do
The primary goal of industrial farms is to maximize profits – even if it threatens the well-being of farm workers, the men and women who help bring food to our tables. Workers on industrial farms and those in the food-processing industry are often subject to hazardous working conditions and unfair labor management practices. Sustainable farmers, on the other hand, understand that healthy and fair employment practices can yield better food and a stronger community.
Accidents, Injuries, and Health
Working conditions at confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are unhealthy, dangerous and extreme. Because the animals are often housed directly above the giant pits that store their manure, harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and methane that are produced by the decomposing manure can contaminate the air that the animals and farm laborers breathe. FIn addition to these gases, dust and other irritants known as endotoxins—which come from the cell walls of the bacteria in the manure—are often found in very high concentrations on CAFOs. G FThese substances can be hazardous to farm workers either through chronic (or long-term) exposure at low levels, or acute (concentrated) exposure at higher levels.
Among the health problems associated with chronic exposure, respiratory ailments are the most common. As many as 25% of all workers at confined animal feeding operations experience chronic bronchitis, while up to 70% will have acute bronchitis at some point during the year. FChronic exposure to hydrogen sulfide can cause many problems, most notably in the neurological and cardiological systems. FRegular inhalation of particulate matter such as dust can cause both respiratory symptoms like bronchitis and cardiological symptoms like arrhythmias and heart attacks. F
Since most of the gases produced from decomposing manure are highly toxic, and can even be lethal in high concentrations, there is also a serious danger to workers who work near manure storage systems and animal houses that are improperly ventilated due to either neglect or equipment failure. Hydrogen sulfide is of particular risk because it can be deadly at even relatively low levels, and is not detectable by smell even at high levels. FAmmonia and carbon dioxide can both asphyxiate a person at high enough concentrations. FDeaths caused by breathing the accumulated manure gases in animal houses or by falling into manure storage tanks are infrequent but they do occur— from 1992 to 1997, there were twelve documented cases of worker deaths in manure lagoons in the US. FManure gases pose serious risks to workers beyond poisoning or asphyxiation; methane is highly flammable, and if not vented properly from manure tanks, it can explode. F
The adverse effects of industrial food production are not limited to farm workers. Food manufacturing has some of the most dangerous jobs in the country. Workers in meat-packing plants suffer repeated trauma injuries at rates far higher than other industries (repeated trauma injuries involve small harms over a period of time in which there is no actual striking or wounding of the body).
In 1996, for example, the rate of repeated-trauma disorders at meat-packing plants was 27 times higher than the national rate for private industry as a whole, and almost six-and-a-half times the rate for all manufacturing jobs. FWhile meat-packing had the highest rate of repeated-trauma injuries, poultry slaughtering and packing had the fifth-highest rate. FIn 1995, meat-packing workers suffered injuries at a rate of 22.7 per 100 workers, making meat-packing the seventh-most dangerous industry in the United States in terms of non-fatal injury. F
Immigrant Workers' Rights
Many farm workers in the United States are undocumented immigrants. Most assume that employment rights (such as overtime pay, safety training and worker's compensation) do not apply to them. Yet most federal and state labor laws protect all workers equally, regardless of immigration status. Furthermore, there exists a specific law which allows farmers to recruit people in other countries to come to the US to perform farm work. Often referred to as a "temporary worker program," or the H-2A program, this law provides visas for up to 45,000 agricultural jobs a year.
This program protects immigrant workers' rights to fair wages, benefits and transportation, and regulates minimum-work guarantees, working conditions and housing for foreign workers. It even stipulates that workers who complete a farm season must be provided with transportation back to their home country. While this program seeks to protect both U.S. and foreign workers from abuse, violations of the law persist. F
Although protected by state, and sometimes federal, law, immigrant workers generally face hurdles in asserting their legal rights, due to limited English language skills, poverty, and lack of familiarity with the laws and regulations governing their work. They often fear punishment, including being fired by employers, if they assert their rights in the workplace. Workers whose immigration status is linked to their employment are reluctant to bring complaints against their employers because their legal status in the U.S. depends on their remaining in that job. The H-2A program requires employers to provide return transportation only for workers who complete their season of work, so a worker who complains and is either fired or leaves a job may have no way to return home. A temporary foreign worker who considers making a complaint about work conditions also often fears that he or she will earn a reputation as a bad worker, jeopardizing future opportunities to be recruited for work. F
For undocumented workers, the barriers can be even greater, as the fear of losing their job is combined with the fear of being reported to immigration enforcement. In many cases, employers have threatened to - or in fact have - contacted federal authorities regarding workers' immigration status in order to intimidate workers into dropping charges of unfair labor practices. This has led the majority of migrant workers to remain silent rather than seek the protection of the law.
Furthermore, federal legislation has prohibited legal service agencies that receive federal funding from representing undocumented workers. This means companies can save money by not paying higher wages, adhering to safety regulations, and paying fines for safety violations, accidents and deaths. When undocumented workers die or are injured, employers can quickly replace them, creating near impunity for employers who skirt the laws. This "disposable workforce" (estimated at 53 - 90% of all farm workers F) is often migratory, uneducated and living at, or well below, the poverty line. F
In addition to perpetuating unsafe and illegal working conditions on industrial farms, the surplus of cheap and often undocumented labor has led to a reduction in both wages and the amount of available work. Between 1989 and 1998, the average inflation-adjusted wage of farm workers in the United States fell from $6.89 to $6.18. FThe number of weeks that the average farm worker was employed fell from 29.3 to 24.9 weeks per year during the same period. FWorkers in the food manufacturing industry saw a decline in inflation-adjusted wages of 2.24 percent from 2000 to 2005. F
Sustainable, small-scale farms may employ undocumented workers, but the likelihood is far less. Sustainable farms tend to be located within communities, and are far more transparent than industrial factory farms, welcoming visitors and customers. Those who do employ undocumented workers are likely to offer better working conditions for the same reasons of transparency and community-mindedness.
There are several organizations in the United States committed to supporting farm workers, specifically addressing many of the issues highlighted here. A few organizations and unions work on a national scale, including the United Farm Workers of America, which was founded in 1962 by Cesar Chavez, and the National Farm Worker Ministry. Many more organizations operate on a much smaller scale, often focusing on a specific agricultural region or state.
Did You Know?
- As of 1996, the rate of repeated-trauma disorders at meat-packing plants was about 921.6 cases per 10,000 workers, compared with only 33.5 and 144.0 cases per 10,000 workers in all private industry and manufacturing jobs, respectively. F
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries. Farmers are at high risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries, work-related lung diseases, noise-induced hearing loss, skin diseases, and certain cancers associated with chemical use and prolonged sun exposure. Farming is one of the few industries in which the families (who often share the work and live on the premises) are also at risk for injuries, illness, and death." F
- There were approximately 834,000 agricultural workers in the United States in 2004. F
What You Can Do
A truly sustainable farm treats farm workers with respect, pays them a fair wage, and protects them from unnecessary dangers. Which food you choose at the supermarket ultimately affects the lives of these farmers and workers. Though there are many local organic farms that support workers rights and even help unionize their workers, just because a farm is "organic" does not automatically mean that working conditions there are safe and fair. Getting to know the farm where you buy your food will help bring you closer to those who produce it, and enable you to know that you are supporting fair labor practices.
Some of the actions you can take to help improve the lives of farm workers include:
- If you can't buy local, buy Fair Trade or Rainforest Alliance certified products. The certification ensures that workers were treated fairly. There are many popular food items that most Americans can't buy locally: mangoes, bananas, coffee and chocolate to name a few. Look for a fair trade logo to ensure that your money goes to ethical producers who provide safe conditions and fair pay to their workers.
- Buy food with the United Farm Workers label – this label indicates that products were produced fairly and by workers given decent wages.

Good stuff! This is what I teach my Sales Clients who think all the value is in the product, and beating back objections. WRONG! I deliver, "Improve Your Selling Skills when You Improve Your Speaking Skills" as part of my VAMP protocol. Gotta say, I did a #3/#10 combo some years back when I was presenting and completely blanked on my next point. It was gone from my mind, and I was in the midst of a no-notes presentation. #3 was in play, so I dialed up #10 to handle it. Afterwards one of the attendees complimented me on my dramatic pause! LOL, yeah, I can use fewer of those unintentional dramatic pauses…. Good article, sir!
Thanks for your comment, Jerry! Your enthusiasm for presenting comes through in your writing. Nice!
pat gorman says
Thanks for the simple, organized reminder! Consider including a sentence or two up front about finding out who your audience is and what they care about (culturally, professionally, personally) before deciding what they need to know.
Pat, your point is very important. In a presentation, knowing the audience can make the speaker and listeners' job much easier.
Chris Marrington says
One small thing I'd add which has helped me personally: if you make a mistake, turn it into a joke or a quick story. One I use is to recount the time my partner and I arrived after a two hour flight for a new business pitch each thinking the other had the flash drive with the presentation loaded on it. Everybody out there in the audience has done something equally dumb and little asides like that can help build empathy and rapport..
Aijaz Ali Khan says
Well written! Good check points before a presentation. I believe one of the most important factors is to create a flow of your presentation in line with the interest of the audience. Small quotes, stories and events sometimes liven up the room. Number 9 is not impossible if one believes in "the more the effort, the more the satisfaction."

Expressions of functional uncertainty can be used in XLE to encode constraints on various sorts of nonlocal f-structure dependencies. The following NP rule, for example, uses this mechanism to form topicalised structures:
The functional uncertainty equation on the TOPIC NP identifies that NP 's f-structure with the OBJ or OBJ2 , possibly of a nested XCOMP . Parse the sentence:
Notice that the OBJ f-structure is identical to that of the TOPIC . If you click on the constraints button, then the path that the functional uncertainty took will be indicated by the value of FU_ATTR relation, which is constrained to be OBJ in this case.
XLE allows the grammar writer to define projections other than the phi (c-structure to f-structure) correspondence. New projections are usually used to describe major sub-systems of linguistic theory. For instance, there could be a sigma projection to handle the semantics, a rho projection to encode selectional restrictions, and a delta projection for a discourse structure. Other uses for projections have been proposed, such as a tau projection that defines the translation of an f-structure into some other language (Kaplan et al., 1989; Kaplan and Wedekind, 1993).
To see an example of how projections can be used, restart XLE with:
This will install a new configuration, activating new rules and templates. You can examine this configuration by looking at the top of
Le Coq Sportif Vecchio Suede Men's LaceUp Rouge Retro Bordeaux/Gray Morn 38e6Uw85
which contains the SIGDEMO ENGLISH configuration:
You can compare this to the configuration in demo-eng.lfg :
Note that SIGDEMO ENGLISH uses the lexicon (LEXENTRIES), rules (RULES), and templates (TEMPLATES) of DEMO ENGLISH. However, it also provides its own lexical entries, rules and templates which will override those in DEMO ENGLISH if they identically named. That is, not only can SIGDEMO ENGLISH provide additional rules, such as the ROOT rule which allows for punctuation, but it also allows the grammar writer to write new versions of rules, such as the VP rule which allows optional post object PPs. Note that each section of the grammar starts with a specification of which part it is. So, the SIGDEMO ENGLISH template section begins with:
Once a grammar has become relatively large, it is often convenient to divide these sections into different files. For example, there might be one file called demo-eng-lex.lfg which contains the lexical items for DEMO ENGLISH and another called sigdemo-eng-lex.lfg which contains the lexical items for SIGDEMO ENGLISH. These are called in the configuration by FILES; the order of the files reflects the order in which they override one another, with the last one overriding all the previous ones. For example:
Now analyze the sentence:
The c-structure window and the f-structure window have essentially the same information as before, although the c-structure now starts with the category ROOT . However, if you now click on the s::* button in in the f-structure window with the left mouse button, a new window will open with a primitive semantic structure for the sentence:
A sales process is a set of repeatable steps that your sales team takes to convert a prospect into a customer. Having a standardized sales process adds structure and accountability to your sales activities, leading to a higher win rate and shorter sales cycles.
According to a
Kelsi Dagger Womens Twilight Leather Ankle Boots Taupe SvDe5t
conducted by Vantage Point Performance and the Sales Management Association, B2B companies that defined a formal sales process experienced 18% more revenue growth compared to companies that didn't.
But make no mistake: The benefits of having a sales process extend far beyond your company's bottom line. Here are eight key advantages of building a standardized sales process for your B2B sales team.
Related: 7 signs you need a better sales process [infographic]
Knowing what needs to be done at each stage of the sale gives sales reps a huge advantage over salespeople who wing it every time out. Without clearly defined steps and milestones that guide sellers from prospecting to presenting to offering the sale, even the most promising deals can slip away due to disorganization.
A standardized sales process makes training sales reps fast, simple, and nearly foolproof, by showing salespeople what they need to do in various sales situations. Even a rookie seller can quickly get up to speed and be successful once he or she learns the basic steps in an organization's sales process.
This also takes some of the training burden off of the sales manager. When the entire sales team is following the same roadmap, any member of the old guard can pass on their knowledge and guidance to new hires when they're first getting started.

Successful sales teams continuously refine their sales processes based on measurable data and constant feedback. For example, understanding where most of your deals are getting stuck or slipping away can help you identify the root cause of those stalled deals and take steps to address the issue.
Having a formalized sales process ensures that your team focuses its efforts on the activities that generate the most revenue. Without a process in place, deals are simply won or lost, and it's hard to know which specific actions are working or failing.
A repeatable sales process gives sales teams much more consistency in winning deals. Having a more accurate sense of your win rate allows you to dependably forecast how many sales you'll close from a given number of leads, and helps sales managers set
