Can anyone provide details on AGE's targets for a new FA? Payout? Salary? Thanks!
You agree on $4000 a month.
Month 13 you are straight commission/fee base.
As far as Targets .
You are okay with 3mil in 12 months and a hero/god with 5-7 mil.
Now they pay the agreed upon starting salary for a decent period of time (like 9 months) then it drops to 75%.
There are bonus incentives the first year and an enhanced payout of 55% but I don't know how long they pay you that.
Like I said it goes something like this but you can get the details on the details on their website.

Work begins on Cary's downtown Metra station
Downtown Cary is getting a new Metra station. The current building last was updated in the 1980s. Pete Nenni | Staff Photographer
The village of Cary soon will begin construction of its new Metra station in downtown, funded primarily through a $2 million federal grant and village revenues. The building's foundation will be poured within the next week or so. Officials plan for the station to be ready for use this fall. Courtesy of Village of Cary

Updated 1/9/2019 7:53 PM
Excavation work is underway for construction to begin on the long-awaited Metra station in downtown Cary.
A new 1,800-square-foot train depot will be built, tightly squeezed in between the inbound platform of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks and Route 14 north of Main Street.
Its architecture will complement Cary's historic downtown and be sustainable where feasible. The building will be Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant and include modern features and a two-way ticketing agent.
Two separate enclosed warming shelters with heating and cooling for waiting areas also are planned on the inbound side.
The goal of this upgrade is "to make it more convenient and safer for our commuters," Cary Village Administrator Jacob Rife said.
A majority of Metra riders who take the train into Chicago will be able to purchase their tickets, wait for and catch the train from the same side of the tracks, he added.
Metra's Cary station was last updated in the 1980s and serves on average roughly 900 weekday boardings. It comprises an outdated depot with a ticket agent office, storage area and waiting room. Commuter parking -- owned and operated by Union Pacific Railroad -- is located on the southwest, outbound side of the tracks. Riders must cross the tracks to reach the inbound platform.
Three small open-sided shelters are situated along the inbound platform where a majority of commuters await the train into downtown Chicago. They do not provide adequate protection from harsh weather, forcing some commuters to wait to cross the tracks until just before the train arrives, documents show.
Workers will begin pouring the building's foundation within the next week or so, weather permitting. Officials plan for the station to be ready this fall.
"Once the new building is completed and fully operational, the old building will be demolished," Rife said.
The project is estimated to cost roughly $3 million, funded primarily through a $2 million federal grant.
The village will be covering roughly $1 million through its commuter parking fund revenues.
"The village has been saving for this for quite some time here," Rife said. "It has been a priority project going back several years and we're really excited to see it come to fruition."

Episode 185 - Cruz Control
Well Producer Bobby definitely let the cat out of the bag on this episode of The Q. When he gets a phone call about a champion wanting to come on the show, he jumps at the chance to surprise Mark and the team. But when the veil is lifted on the guest, it is none other than Dynamo Pro Champion Ricky Cruz! The bane of Mark's existence in the world of pro-wrestling.
Bland and Cruz immediately get off on a shaky start when their vitriol for each other is evident in their conversation. But Bland tries to push forward regardless of their dislike and discuss the upbringing and world of professional wrestling in Puerto Rico where Cruz hails from.
Then its time for business. Mark discusses the background of Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops and how he feels they are just fronts for a lifestyle as opposed to the go to spot for a specific need that you can't facilitate anywhere else. This leads to a discussion about hoosiers and their needs. Next up the peeps jump into discussing the recent city hall meeting that Ferguson held where people where up in arms about the situation regarding Mike Brown and the riots. You gotta hear where this goes.
Finally Mark, Dan, Ricky, Bobby and Lucy jump in head first into the Ray Rice domestic violence issue and how the NFL did or didn't do a good job handling the punishment of their athlete. But did Rice deserve the punishment in the first place? Was the NFL out of line for indefinitely suspending the Raven until further notice? And what about the fines/punishments levied against other NFL players in the past few years for potentially bigger or smaller (depending on your view) infractions.
All this and much, much more are waiting in this episode of THE Q!
episode_185_-_cruz_control.mp3
Episode 175 - Latino Heat
She's back!!!!! Lucy Mendez of Dynamo Pro Wrestling and Resistance Pro Wrestling is back on the Q and Mark Bland has an issue with her. Lucy is the valet for a wrestler in STL named Ricky Cruz and Mark is in the middle of being at odds with this "piece of sh-t" (according to Mark).
On this weeks rants, Mark is taking it personal that the Hobby Lobby situation went down the way it did because it seems pretty obivous that the fix was in. Do you believe it was a good situation or not, listen and find out where you stand when its over. Plus Dan Walsh decides to speak to our growing asian audience with his "chinglish" and its becoming quite the strongest marketing to this new area that we have ever done.
Producer Bobby brings in a list of RADARONLINES the most controversial music videos of ALL TIME. The team breaks down the nuiansances of the artists and the videos. So who do you think made the list: Madonna, Nelly, R. Kelly or maybe even Michael Jackson? Sit back and enjoy as the guys and lady discuss this very interesting list. Are you with Bjork or against her might be the question of the year.
Finally there is letters from the listeners. Mark asks Lucy and the team what urban legend scares them the most. Some very interesting answers come out. And then there is OVERTIME after the main show. Dan expands on his urban legend answer, a few letters from the listeners and everyone chimes in on the Katy Perry/JOyful Noise lawsuit....we play the two songs back to back and you tell us if there is justifiable cause for a lawsuit.

Episode 171 - A-Litter-Ration
Short episode this week. Mark and Bobby are once again Walsh-less, as Dan is taking some time off for personal reasons. But that doesn't stop the train from rolling on.
Mark starts off with a rant about kids and how they treat their neighborhoods and neighbors a like after watching them trash the street in front of his house. But this leads to a bigger picture in the end.
It's also Prom season and of course every year there is a new story about some prom going awry or people picketing a school for certain beliefs. Well this time around is no different and we have a young lady that was asked to leave her prom cause her dress was causing some oggling from the chaperons.
From there its on to a couple stories that are unique in a babysitter that lets things get way out of hand and finally some gun talk and discussion about Chipotle and their new decision to ask gun owners to not bring their firearms into the restaurants. Evidently the prank and decision in a Texas Chipotle was too muck for people and they needed to fix potential future attempts.
Finally a couple letters from the listeners and Game On/Game Off to finish off the show. So please talk to your friends and family and promote one of the best shows in the country! WE are taking talk radio and turning it up to 11!

Episode 166 - To Boldly Go
A legend, Pop culture Icon and many other names describe the guest on this episode of the Q. Taking some time off from selling travel, WILLIAM SHATNER decides to bless Mark, Dan, Producer Bobby and Mark's father John with amazing stories from his past. But his main purpose, beyond allowing Dan to fodder over him, is to discuss his new movie "Shatners World" and the upcoming Fathom event debut of it on April 24th! Shatner tells stories of working on the Star Trek movies, what it was like to deal with success when he first started getting noticed for Star Trek and what made him do a one man show.
Then the guys keep the hollywood machine rolling by talking with MTV Reality star and competitor on the new MTV: Free Agents show....Johnny Banana's. Johnny brings his wit and backgroud with our very own Dan Walsh to the forefront by discussing some of their more notorious moments and Dan's ability to be your favorite reality stars, favorite reality star. Also Johhny discusses where he came from and what it was like to hear about Joe Paterno being a Penn State graduate.
But the show doesn't end there. Mark and Dan get into a disagreement in regards to a teacher that decided to sick her her thug 8th graders on another student to "teach him a lesson" regarding treatment of teachers. Should teachers be playing gang lord? There is no positive ending to the situation....BUT....Dan Walsh stands by his beliefs that the teacher was in her right and the kids need that peer on peer reprimand. Where do you stand? Well listen in and make your judgement!
Plus we still are taking sign ups to be on Team Q for the Rollercoaster Race 5k. The guys discuss all this, plus OVERTIME! Join in and enjoy the entertainment.

episode_166_-_too_boldly_go.mp3
Episode 157 - Without Regard
He's BACK! Travis Cook and his ultra conservativeness decide to grace the Q with its presence once again. After months of being banned from the show for claiming he wants to hang the president from a tree.....he's shows back up to start where he left off.
First the guys.....well lets just say.... things quickly fall to bad as Mark and Travis start discussing his cheating attempts with Dynamo Pro to win the tag team titles. This eventually devolves into a yelling fit between Mark and Travis regarding his political positioning and his hatred for President Obama.
After a cool down period...Mark, producer Bobby, Dan Walsh and Travis get back into the swing of the show. The Olympics are going on and Mark wants to know if the winter or summer olympics is everyone's forte. This leads to some talk about what sports can be killed off from the events.
Next the topic of federal rights verse states right comes up regarding guns and an attempt at a law in Missouri to override federal laws regulating them. This starts off a discussion of whether states rights or federal rights came first and a little history lesson from Dan Walsh....booyah!
From there it is a hodge podge of conspiracy discussion (as it always is every time a conservative is allowed to talk) and current event stories to talk about amongst equals. Also a great round of GAME ON/GAME OFF with Travis Cook actually supplying one of the more interesting Game Off's we have ever had!
Finally a little Overtime where we have the best advice story we have ever read on air and the newest Tournament of Pop Culture: Best Will Ferrell Performance. A must listen to overtime if you are a fan of Will Ferrell.
episode_157_-_without_regard.mp3
Episode 154 - RESET
On this episode of the show, Mark receives a few letters from the listeners explaining that they love the show but feel its getting away from its roots of talking politics lately. So with that Mark and Bobby decide to RESET the show and bring it back to some political talk and their first order of business is to answer the call of a piece written on WND.com about Obama being a horrible President.
Then its time for a jump out to the Sundance Film Festival for the 7th year in a row to talk with Anthony Cabral regarding the hustle and bustle of young Hollywood films. And for some reason it seems as though Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have a ton of places to be since we can hear them. This all leads to a discussion about KICKSTARTER films projects and how Mark thinks that eventually the movie industry will attempt something nefarious with them....listen in to find out.
Finally Mark takes some time out to discuss professional football and the Richard Sherman post NFC Championhsip comments. And Mark and Bobby find out the NFL is a non-profit organization and the guys wonder how many other companies are non-profit but rake in huge profits. All this plus GAME ON/GAME OFF and some OVERTIME for you.

Episode 145 - Bare Knuckling it!
On this episode of The Q, Mark and Bobby are joined by the cast of Bare Knuckle Comedy troupe out of St. Louis. Sherman Doyle and Christian jump in to talk about the ACA and what life was like growing up in the 1990's before DVR's existed and you had to watch OJ Simpson running away from police live on the TV or you missed it.
Also Mark is at it again with a rant about other radio shows and how they try to portray themselves as multiple things. Of course this leads to a more general discussion about how people do this on a day to day in music and entertainment claiming they are "artists" but they really are only doing it as a hobby.
Finally the men get around to discussing the beginnings to the BKC and there success till now. A little about their upcoming shows and their opinions of the best comedians in the STL area.

episode145_-_bareknuckling_it.mp3
Episode 140 - Get up on This
Jensen Karp are you READY? This is tagline from the opening of every single episode of GET UP ON THIS! on the Smodcast Network. Mark has never been a fan of podcasters cause of how loosely the term gets bantered around by "hobbyist" trying to portray themselves as real talents. BUT....no longer is that totally the case.
JENSEN KARP decided to join our team of Mark, Justin Deming and Producer Bobby to discuss his fantastic podcast and his interesting career in Hip Hop as a signed Million Dollar artist with Interscope Records to his friendship with music icon in 2013. Not to be outdone at any moment, Jensen talks about his decision to open his art gallery and how he has a special place in his heart for achievement in video games that he was able to solidify back in 2003. But the fun doesn't stop there!
Mark and guys decide to do their own impromptu version of Get up on This so that the fans and listeners can get a taste of what him and his cohost, Matt Robinson, do each week entertaining the thousands that listen. Each of the parties involved pick a "Get up On" (something in Pop culture and in general that you need to KNOW ABOUT) and one "get up off" (something that is popular but its time has passed). And by far one of the most fun segments ever done on the Q. So tune in to learn a little about things, Jensen and the Get up on This podcast.
Then we switch gears to discuss the recent fake/real trucker rally for Washington DC that seems to have a lot of "conservatives" involved with it. And they seem to have some interesting reps for TV. Also Producer Bobby brings some more BNN (Bobby News Network) to the table and a letter from a listener that is a difficult position for any person to be in.
episode_140_-_get_up_on_this_1.mp3
Episode 137 - McBillions
Matthew Krueger decides to jump in and work out a great show with Mark and Producer Bobby as the men talk about Politics to start off. Matt wonders why LEFT and RIGHT wing are designated that way as Mark tries to help him understand. This leads to discussion about a disagreement on Facebook that Mark and Matt had regarding politics and the situation with everyone throwing a fit about the new Miss America being of Indian descent.
Then with Halloween being the next major holiday to pop up for our nation, it seems as some people got a stick up their butts about a Walmart Halloween prop that seems to emulate animal cruelty....what is our country coming to! Mark and Matt then Wax poetic about their time working together at a Spirit Halloween store and how Matt would scare the bejezus out of people while dressed as Freddy!
Mark then gets serious for bit discussing some new rules that senator Diane Feinstein is trying put in place regarding journalism and media in the US. Its called the Media Shield Law and its purpose is to set the parameters in some sort of fashion regarding real journalism and hobbyist. Something Mark has talked about on his show many times, but never to the extent that this law is about to be imposed. Everyone has an opinion on this and its interesting to hear to say the least.
Then in a final topic swing, everyone tries to tackle the new California minimum wage decision to raise the minimum wage to the highest in the USA. All having come from various backgrounds in life, everyone has their own ideas of whether this is a good or bad idea. And then of course it's time for Letters and Questions from the Listeners.
Its time for the Q....taking talk radio and turning it up to 11!
episode_137_-_mcbillions_1.mp3
Episode 136 - T.I. Pac "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived"
Its another swing around the old Pro-Wrestling game again for Mark and his guest Jovan Bibbs! The two men, along with producer Bobby, welcome Impact Wrestling Superstar AUSTIN ARIES to the Q to discuss his career inside and outside the ring. Discussing Austin's eventual plans after the wrestling business to hopefully break into the music business. Plus a little tug of war trying to get Austin to discuss potentially winning a title in another company and the unique answer he gives to that plight. Plus the men talk about their favorite tag teams growing up and memorable moments from their wrestling childhoods.
Then it is full stream ahead with The Q. Syria decides in a weird turn of events to just turn over Sarin gas weapons to Russia after a couple weeks of the USA explaining that they are thinking of a military strike. Then a discussion on a new show making some noise on the boob tube called "Under the Dome" and a chit chat about Jovan, Mark and Bobby's favorite TV shows ensues, including a show called Doomsday Preppers..
Mark and Jovan talk about playing in a charity basketball a few months back and how Mark completely dominated the competition (sigh). Finally they talk about Jovan's career as a comic and some of the perils of being in the comedy business. Also, some discussions on questions that white people have for black people and vice versa. Throw in a smidge of Letters and questions from the listeners and you have yourself an action paced show. Sit back and enjoy the new episode of The Q!

We have an amazing update! After posting about needing help with our most recent relief project, which entailed the purchase of a distribution truck in Puerto Rico, we received a call from our friends Jake Burton and Mike Cox at Burton Snowboards.... Today, snowboard hardgoods make up a $1 billion global market, a third of which is owned by Burton. But when Jake Burton Carpenter and his wife Donna started the company in the early 1980s, few even knew about the sport.
The Covert Snowboarding�s proverbial pot of gold, the Covert Jacket�s full list of features includes venting Pit Zips�, a removable waist gaiter to block cold and snow, as well as pockets for just about everything. Additionally, the Covert jacket will add to your snowboarding look season after season.... Burton Gettagrip Capstrap - black I own Union Force bindings, and after having the problem many others have, that the front strap won't stay fit with the boot, I decided to go ahead and give these a try.
Snowboard for Carving: Features to Look for Flex (Stiffness) Flex is very much your own preferences but then you will know what flex you want to get after riding two or three snowboards.... The Burton Triad was a great binding back in the day but it�s been discontinued for many years now. The Triad is a great binding that has something similar in look but softer in flex to the old Co2 high back from 2007 and a base plate similar to the cartel but it has a more cushy ankle strap.
Burton Gettagrip Capstrap - black I own Union Force bindings, and after having the problem many others have, that the front strap won't stay fit with the boot, I decided to go ahead and give these a try.... Hello and welcome to my Burton Free Thinker review. In this review, I will take a look at the Free Thinker as an aggressive all-mountain-freestyle snowboard.
Snowboard Boot Reviews #1 Salomon Faction Boa Snowboard Boots. I ski on Salomon boots because they fit my foot shape like a glove! Even in their budget model boots, Salomon is known for bringing their A-game.
Relax, it�s snowboarding and it�s supposed to be fun. That said, it�s snowboarding and it�s a sport, so be prepared to be exhausted your first time out, and probably the second � or every time after that.
#3 When snowboarding, always look where you want to go Your shoulders follow your head, your hips follow your shoulders, and your board will follow your hips. It is natural when learning how to snowboard to want to look down at the snow.
Like snowboarding itself, it�s helpful to see maintenance done right before you try it yourself. Head to your local dome or dryslope and look for an experienced rider with a well-kept board. More often than not, they�ll help you get started in exchange for a few beers. Alternatively, some board shops have been known to give demonstrations, although this is rare.

Rebooted KINO! Brings German Filmmaking Talent to New York City
Building on 35 years at the Museum of Modern Art, KINO! reboots at new locations –bringing the latest of German cinema to New York audiences. Programmed by an independent jury, KINO! presents ten films, four of which are North American premieres.
Selected by New York industry professionals Denise Kassell, Ian Stimler and Karl Rozemeyer and organized by Munich-based German Films, KINO! kicks off with the June 12 opening night gala screening of WEST by the critically acclaimed director Christian Schwochow at the Museum of Moving Image in Queens.
KINO! introduces new elements such as a last minute surprise film and the theatrical run of NAN GOLDIN – I REMEMBER YOUR FACE, a documentary by Sabine Lidl about the New York photographer, which will have daily screenings in Manhattan's Quad Cinema.
The festival's program will be screened daily at the Quad Cinema in Manhattan from June 13-19.
Opening Night Film
Christian Schwochow – East Coast Premiere
East Berlin, summer 1978 and Nelly Senff packs a few suitcases into a Volkswagen. Aleksej, her nine-year old son, takes only a teddy bear. On the pretext that she's married a man from West Berlin, they drive to the west, hoping to start a new life. Based on the novel by Julia Franck, WEST explores how the great promise of "the golden West" is slowly eroded.
NAN GOLDIN – I REMEMBER YOUR FACE
Sabine Lidl – New York Premiere
Documentarian Sabine Lidl's intimate portrait of New York photographer Nan Goldin is as uncompromising and unvarnished as the snapshots that have come to define Goldin as arguably one of the most influential, celebrated and controversial photographers of her generation. The result is a personal, incautious and thoroughly engaging view of the artist at work and at play.
ANYWHERE ELSE
Ester Amrami – North American premiere
Eight years ago Noa came to Berlin. Now she is about to graduate from university and has recently moved in with Jörg, her German boyfriend. But suddenly she experiences a personal crisis. Noa feels misunderstood and isolated. She doesn't recognize her own self anymore. ANYWHERE ELSE tells Noa´s search for her place in life in a touching manner, that combines drama and comedy. The movie is carried by its devotion to the protagonists and at the same time it makes the audience contemplate universal themes such as language, homeland and love.
A PACT
Denis Dercourt – East Coast premiere
As boys growing up in former East Germany in the early 1980s, Paul and Georg are singled out by an 11th-grade teacher for their approaches to a problem. Georg's work is "serious and methodical." Paul is "unerringly intuitive." While these traits later define them as men, it is a childhood that pact forever shapes their lives.
ART WAR
Marco Wilms – North American premiere
In the wake of the uprising that swept Mubarak's regime from power in January 2011, young artists take to the streets of Cairo, believing art can be a weapon for change and a revolution can be powerful without violence. Filmmaker Marco Wilms equates the significance of the Arab Spring with the fall of the Berlin Wall but, having spent two years documenting the work of graffiti artists, musicians, poets and writers, he witnesses their dream of a new era devolve into a burning inferno as they clash with the military and extreme religious factions. ART WAR is an eye-opening exploration of how political unrest collides with art and social media, allowing war-zone artists to reach new audiences in new ways.
BANKLADY
Christian Alvart – East Coast premiere
It's 1966 and 30-year-old Gisela Werler, stuck in a dead-end job at Hamburg wallpaper factory, dreams of escaping to the isle of Capri. Then she meets suave and cocksure Hermann, a cab driver who moonlights as a bank robber. Their attraction is mutual and magnetic. She pleads with Hermann to let her join him on his bank heists. Using striking visuals including inventive split screens, Christian Alvart, director of the serial killer thriller Antibodies and the sci-fi horror Pandorum, meticulously replicates the '60s era in a fast-paced thriller that remains vivid and stylish from start to finish.
FINSTERWORLD
Frauke Finsterwald – East Coast premiere
FINSTERWORLD tells the story of pedicurist Claude Petersdorf who harbours a special fondness for the feet of his female clients and reveals himself to Ms. Sandberg who lives in an old people's home. Documentary filmmaker Franziska Feldenhoven wants to make a film about the realities of German council housing, which proves to be beyond boring.
HANNA´S JOURNEY
Julia von Heinz – New York premiere
Hanna goes to Israel in order to push her career by working with disabled people. Itay, the Israeli social worker picks on Hanna with Holocaust jokes and cynical comments on German history, whilst obviously flirting with her. She initially reacts with rejection, but after a while she becomes interested in her family's history, and also in Itay.
WHISPERS BEHIND THE WALL
Grzegorz Muskala – North American premiere
Martin leaves his protective parents' home and comes to Berlin as a law student with high hopes. He finds a tiny, run-down flat in a strange, dark apartment block, from which the previous tenant has disappeared without a trace. Having no luck with social contacts at the university, Martin quickly falls for his mysterious landlady Simone, who lives just next door behind a thin wall. Hoping to find trust and intimacy, Martin loses himself in the house's disturbing world of sex and violence. Deep in the walls, Martin discovers the true horror of his first love.
THE WOMAN WHO DARES
Marc Rensing – North American premiere
Beate was once the GDR's fastest female swimmer. Now, she has a menial laundry job. Having placed her needs and wants in life on a backburner, she devotes most of her free time to her grown children. Her ambitious goal is to swim through the Channel. This is not only a bold venture because of her age – she is a fifty-year-old woman – but also because she has been diagnosed cancer and doesn't have much time left. Skilfully directed by Marc Rensing, THE WOMAN WHO DARES is the story of one woman's determination and courage to take control of her dreams in the face of crushing adversity.
NEXT GENERATION SHORT TIGER 2014– a program of Germany's best shorts as selected by an expert jury which included Oscar-winner Caroline Link (NOWHERE IN AFRICA).

You're Invited: YNPN's Night at the Guthrie Theater
After the show, there's an after-party. And you're invited! Join YNPN-TC for a night at the Guthrie Theater for a viewing of Clybourne Park. Drinks, a DJ, and dancing to follow at Aloft Minneapolis Hotel, all at a greatly discounted rate to ensure young nonprofit professionals can support and appreciate the Twin Cities thriving arts community!
You are invited to attend:
YNPN's Night at the Guthrie
Tuesday, June 4, 2013 at 7:30 PM
Did you know that after New York, Minnesota has the most theaters per capita in the country?
Join YNPN on June 4 for a night at one of the most well-known theaters in Minnesota. The Guthrie Theater has generously partnered with us for a discounted viewing of Clybourne Park. This Pulitzer Prize and 2012 Tony Award-winning satiric comedy dealing with race and class is a response to Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun.
That's not all, folks. Join YNPN for the after party at Aloft Minneapolis hotel, where select cast members from the play will also be attending, and DJ Marinos of On the Corner will be spinning some sweet jams. There will be happy hour drink specials, along with a free drink ticket valid for a tap beer that comes with your ticket to the play.
So this great night out must be expensive, right? Not even close. For YNPN attendees only, you'll get the play, after party (with cast!) and drink ticket for only $10. Tickets for the Clybourne Park performance alone normally start at $35. What's the catch? There is none! We just hope you'll come join us and help make this night amazing.
To be part of this great event, you'll need to make your reservations with the Guthrie.
It's super easy to get this great deal - it's just three simple steps:
1. Call the Guthrie Theater at 612-377-2224
2. Ask for the "YNPN" offer for the performance of Clybourne Park
3. Have your credit/debit card ready to pay over the phone. A $0.25 handling fee may apply.
That's it! We'll give you your performance ticket and drink ticket when you arrive at the Guthrie Theater on the 4th. There is no online purchase option for this event. You may order more than one ticket with this offer if you are purchasing for a group.
818 South 2nd Street
Parking: Parking is available in the ramp on South 2nd Street directly across from the Guthrie and in numerous parking lots throughout the neighborhood. The event rate for Guthrie performances is $8. Rates vary during Vikings games and other area events.
The After Party: The after party is located just one block away from the Guthrie at Aloft Minneapolis hotel. Purchase of the Clybourne Park performance ticket gives you access to this party and one free drink ticket.
More about Clybourne Park: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play, Bruce Norris' satiric comedy deals with race and class in response to Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun. The play begins in 1959 as a black family moves into a white neighborhood in north Chicago, and in Act Two takes us to the same house in 2009 as gentrification sets in and the roles are reversed. Jokes fly and hidden agendas unfold as two generations tiptoe through social politics, pitting race against real estate. The New York Times hailed it "ferociously smart" and Variety raved, "Yes, it's dangerous and provocative, but pulverizingly funny to boot!" The Guthrie Theater, founded in 1963, is an American center for theater performance, production, education and professional training. By presenting both classical literature and new work from diverse cultures, the Guthrie illuminates the common humanity connecting Minnesota to the peoples of the world.

Your ultimate what's on guide
Photo flash from the past for Shrewsbury caravan dealership
Salop Leisure has proof that its policy of encouraging school visits to the caravan dealership in Shrewsbury does have a positive impact on pupils.
Chairman Tony Bywater has always believed that children are important to the future of the company, not only as prospective customers but also for their ideas on caravan innovation and improvements.
Financial director Stephen Higgins recently found a group photograph of a visit by Meole Brace Infants School to Salop Leisure in 1993 when the company was based at Meole Brace.
One of the pupils photographed was Kevin Courtney, 24, who is now the company's static after sales manager and was aged seven at the time.
Kevin could hardly believe his eyes when he saw the photograph but remembers the visit well. It was the first time he had seen his grandmother, Jean, who chalks up 35 years with Salop Leisure in September, at work.
"I remember the school trip to the caravan centre but I don't remember why we were there," he said. "I remember being shown around the caravans and it was the first time I had seen Nan in her workplace.
"When they showed me the photograph and I recognised one of the kids and two of my cousins, I realised that I must have been on it as well."
Kevin initially worked part-time in different departments at Salop Leisure when he was at university and then took up a full-time post after graduating from Sheffield University with a degree in psychology.
"I remember Salop Leisure as always being a friendly place to visit when I was in school and I did my work experience in the accounts department," he said.
Do you recognise any of the other faces on the photograph, which shows the pupils and staff with Salop Leisure's chairman Tony Bywater?

AVIATION NEWS & INSIGHT FROM JON CHAMPS
British Airways 747's saved for museums around UK
Posted on December 1, 2020 by Jon Champs
Landing Aircraft Taken: 21st March 2019 Picture by: Stuart Bailey
BA ANNOUNCES 747'S SAVED FOR MUSEUMS
Tuesday, 1 December 2020 – British Airways' Queens of the Skies will continue to inspire aviation enthusiasts across the UK for years to come, after permanent homes have been found for its remaining retro-liveried Boeing 747 aircraft – the last to leave the British Airways fleet.
The aircraft, registrations G-BNLY and G-BYGC, are this month due to depart from British Airways' engineering base in Cardiff, where they will be waved off by the British Airways engineers who for many years have proudly maintained the 747 fleet. The pair were among several aircraft painted in heritage liveries to mark the airline's centenary last year.
BOAC 747 Taken: 18th February 2019 Picture by: Stuart Bailey
Adorned in the iconic Landor livery, used between 1984 and 1997, G-BNLY has been given a new lease of life as a permanent exhibit at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey. It will join its sister 747, G-CIVW, which was retired in late October and features the current Chatham Dockyard livery.
G-BYGC, painted in the BOAC 'Gold Speedbird' livery used between 1963 and 1974, will make the short journey from Cardiff Airport to the Bro Tathan business park in the Vale of Glamorgan. It will be maintained as a heritage piece by aviation specialists eCube Solutions to showcase the pre-eminent contribution British Airways' 747 fleet made to UK aviation.

Sean Doyle, CEO of British Airways, said: "While we will miss seeing them grace our skies, we are delighted to have found permanent homes for our remaining centenary 747 aircraft.
"We think they have great historical importance, not only to British Airways but to the entire aviation industry, and we are pleased they will be preserved for future generations in locations in the UK.
"As the final 747s to leave our fleet, their departure will be an emotional moment for former and current British Airways staff, including our engineering team in Cardiff who have lovingly looked after our jumbo jets for decades."
G-BNLY and G-BYGC are the last two British Airways 747s to be retired, with G-BYGC being the final 747 to leave the British Airways fleet. The Negus-liveried 747, registration G-CIVB, was one of the last two 747s to depart Heathrow Airport in October and has also been found a permanent home at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire.

When you say it's 'them and us'; I'm with them. The people who make the decisions you never know about? I'm with them. You want to talk to me? I'll be standing over there. With them.


Studies show that, in the next decade, nearly 250,000 Connecticut residents will turn 65—an unprecedented number that will be the inevitable result of the baby boomer generation fully reaching retirement age.
As our state's population continues to trend older, this will no doubt have an effect on the business community, particularly the large number of family owned businesses belonging to the people falling within this demographic group. Nearly two out of every three businesses in Connecticut are family owned, and the bottom line is clear—family business is big business, both in our state and across the country.
What happens when these business owners, many of whom created and grew these businesses as their life's work, decide it is time to retire? Does the business pass on to a family member? Is it sold to an outside party? What happens to the employees? What do the next few years hold for this business? These are the basic questions that must be asked when a family business begins planning for a transition.
Here's the problem, though. As of today, roughly 80% of all family owned businesses nationally-and a similar amount here in Connecticut-have no plan for succession.
This needs to be addressed, and the sooner the better. The time to start planning for a business transition is not down the road, when retirements or changes happen, but rather as soon as possible.
A recent study that our firm developed with Baker Tilly International indicates that, while this alarming number of businesses have not yet begun the planning process, there are serious advantages to those businesses who start that process several years out. This is a never-before-seen generational shift we are experiencing and will continue to experience through 2025, and it gives businesses the impetus to put these plans in place.
What's more, the traditional path of family businesses transitioning to family members is no longer as seamless as it once was. Rather than handing over a business, what is passed on today are the skills and desire to be in business. Businesses need to keep this in mind as they begin the transition period.
Succession planning does not mean retirement, at least not right away. It means preparing for an inevitable transition, and readiness is always essential. Succession planning today is all about instilling business competencies and experience in family members who are interested, rather than simply handing over the business. There are a number of considerations which family owned businesses need to address upfront-does the next generation (a child or other relative) want to take over the business? Is the next generation ready to take over, or possessing the skills to one day do so? Is an outside party, such as a private equity firm, the solution instead? If so, what does that mean for the workforce?
All of these questions need to be addressed. Succession planning is an involved process, but, if done correctly and strategically, the chances for success increase exponentially. This means goals need to be set, tactical timelines need to be put in place and family harmony must be maintained as the process gets underway.
Again, the advantages of early planning are numerous, such as ongoing profitability, strong familial relationships and long-term job security for the employees. On the other hand, failure to plan can have serious repercussions-businesses can lose competitiveness, family conflict can ensue, profitability can decrease, "decisional paralysis" can ensue, and ultimately the business could even fail if no plan is established.
This is a new era for family business, in which many more questions need to be addressed than in the past when it comes to who takes over and when. The skills required by the current generation for a proper succession are more complex than ever; they need to ensure the business is 'succession ready' for either transition or market sale. And the time to start planning is right now.

Automate complex layout and design tasks in Adobe InDesign!
This webinar, the second in our DO MORE with Scripting series by Peter Kahrel, addresses some practicalities of writing and using custom scripts in Typefi workflows.
You'll learn about the script development environment (Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit), differences between InDesign Desktop and InDesign Server, interacting with the Typefi Engine, protecting the Typefi Engine's environment by ringfencing custom scripts, Engine defaults, and testing and deploying scripts.
This demo uses InDesign CC2018. For scripts this makes no difference—these scripts will work in CC2017 and earlier versions of InDesign.
This webinar is about making you familiar with some relevant parts of the Typefi Engine.
For the script environment I use Adobe's ExtendScript Toolkit. It's a script editor that comes with several development tools, and it can be used for all scriptable Creative Cloud applications. It's a separate download which is accessible through your Creative Cloud panel.
When you first start the ESTK, it shows various windows. These are useful but take screen space, so I open them only when I need them. The console, which you see on my screen, I use all the time. The other windows are accessible in the Window menu.
When you start a new script file you first of all need to select the application that you target in this dropdown.
The applications that you see here depend on whatever is installed on your computer, so as you can see here I have several versions of InDesign going back to CS6, Photoshop, and a few others.
You must also make sure that the icon next to the target application menu is green, which shows that the ESTK is connected to InDesign.
On Windows PCs, the ESTK works quite well generally, but on Mac there are two problems. The first of the problems is what is referred to as 'app nap', which means that sometimes the ESTK takes a nap when you expect it to execute a script, and the editor can be unresponsive from time to time. Unfortunately, there's not much that you can do about it.
Secondly, Apple has announced that with the next major release of OSX (probably in the summer of this year, 2018), 32-bit applications (like the ESTK) will no longer be supported, which leaves Mac users without a proper development environment. A ludicrous situation, and at the moment (January 2018) it's not clear what's going to happen.
For now I'll deal with the Windows set-up, in which the ESTK works pretty well.
InDesign scripts that run in InDesign server (as all scripts do when they run as part of an InDesign job on a server), differ in some subtle but important details from those that run in InDesign Desktop—that is, the InDesign version installed on your desktop, and which is used when you installed Typefi Desktop Server.
The main difference between InDesign Desktop and InDesign Server is that InDesign Server doesn't have an interface—it's a so-called headless application.
This means that InDesign Server doesn't use any script property that has 'active' in its name (because ID Server has no interface, so the notion 'active' doesn't apply). You may have seen InDesign scripts on a forum or in a printed text that referred to the current document as app.activeDocument, and other comparable property names are activePage and activeWindow. However, these names cannot be used in InDesign Server, but there are equivalent properties: for instance, use app.documents instead of app.activeDocument.
InDesign Server also—naturally—doesn't know selections: you can't select anything in InDesign Server, so you have to get access to the document, story, page, etc. in some other way. This will be illustrated later.
The difference is in the false parameter. In the Desktop version, this parameter indicates whether InDesign should display the Export Adobe PDF dialogue, but since ID Server has no interface, that parameter is not present in the export function.
The points outlined here pretty much exhaust the differences between the two InDesign versions. They are few, but important.
This construct works in both Server and Desktop versions of InDesign.
The first line, in which myPage is declared as a variable, restricts the scope of myPage to the function in which it is defined, in this case, our script (because the script is a function).
The second line, in which myPage is not declared as a variable, broadcasts myPage throughout the script environment, overwriting any existing instances of myPage, even in the Engine. It is therefore crucial that any script you write is wrapped in an anonymous function and that its variables are defined with the reserved word var.
This cannot be stressed enough: make variables local or you run the risk of messing up other scripts, including the Engine.
The Engine sets some document properties that remain in force throughout the document's production. Immediately after opening a template, the Typefi Engine sets the document's rulers to per page and the measurement system to points because these are the most convenient settings to work with. When the job finishes, the original settings are restored in the paginated document.
If you want to use different rulers and/or measurement units you can set them in a script, but you must restore those settings when the script finishes. The Engine sets them only once, at the start of the job, so when a script changes them during pagination, those changed values remain in force.
Thus, if your script changes the units from points to millimetres at page.end, that script must restore the units to points before handing back control to the Engine. If you don't, the Engine's measurements go all over the place and you might end up in a very tight place!
Setting measurements and rulers is relatively time-consuming, and you're advised to change these only when it's really necessary.
Let's have a look now at the practicalities of writing a script that's supposed to run in a Typefi job. For our first script we set ourselves a modest task so that we can concentrate on the logistics: we want a script that keeps the last eight characters of every paragraph together to prevent runts—that is, short last paragraph lines. To do this interactively, you'd use a Find/Change operation.
When you start writing a script, the first question you ask is at which script event the script should run. Well, since this script doesn't rely on geometry, and since it can change the text flow, the best moment is at spill.end. Recall that spill.end occurs every time a story story is placed ('spilled').
The question now is: What is myStory? How can a script see it? In your desktop version it's the insertion point's or the selected text frame's parent story. In ID Server we have no selections; but at spill.end we do have the spilled story. Though indirectly, because what the Engine provides is a text frame rather than a story, but if you have a text frame you automatically have its parent story.
We call this our interactive framework. The crucial test is in if (typeof TYPEFI == 'undefined'): it reads 'if the TYPEFI object does not exist'. Therefore if we run this code on our desktop while we develop a script, the TYPEFI object is created on the fly, in this case with a single property. It's a minimal framework, but it can be expanded to accommodate various things as we need them.
To try this in our document, we'll run it interactively first so that we can catch and fix any problems. We could do that in a running job, but that's just inefficient, it takes much longer.
Then it's time to test the script in a job. After uploading the script to the Typefi Server, we add it to the Spill end field in the Event Scripts tab of our Typefi workflow, and then run it.
That works fine. We now have the beginning of a usable framework to write Typefi scripts in.
When you run the script interactively, it prints the message in the ESTK's console.
Again, I must stress that you must absolutely ensure that you don't change any of the Engine's properties while a job is running.
Note the format of the file path: use forward slashes; and /d/ is the drive letter. This format works on both Mac and Windows. When you use this approach you should compile the scripts as a binary. The result is a script with the extension .jsxbin.
The Typefi Engine's properties and functions aren't (yet) documented in a generally accessible way—we're working on that. When in doubt, or when you have any questions, please post a query in our support forum.
This concludes our introduction of how scripts interact with the Engine. In the next episode we'll turn to how scripts interact with the Typefi Designer plug-ins; in other words, the Typefi Document Object Model.

There was much hullabaloo—at least within the industry—when Mercedes-Benz debuted a host of high-tech active safety features and a high-def dashboard display in the 2017 E-class before those same bits hit the range-topping S-class. Traditionally, Benz's latest and greatest technologies have come to market on the S-class before trickling down to lesser models—but things are moving too fast for that rollout strategy these days. That doesn't mean the S is left out, for we've learned that the biggest Benz sedan will gain the E's for-now-exclusive gear soon enough.
According to Mercedes, the E-class's Drive Pilot semi-autonomous tech (the ability to drive itself on highways for up to 60 seconds at a time and execute autonomous lane changes, late-availability enhanced self-parking system, and Active Emergency Stop Assist, which brings the car to a stop if the driver becomes unresponsive) will run uphill to the S-class when the larger sedan is refreshed in a year or two.
Furthermore, Benz hinted that the S-class could also receive the E-class's stunning high-def 12.3-inch dashboard display (and optional, second 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, wireless phone charger, and nifty steering-wheel touch control buttons—and possibly "more." After all, the S-class should have at least a few new tidbits, right? More relevant to the 99 percent are Benz's other hints that the E-class's safety tech will spread throughout its lineup, both up and down, even to the C-class, in short order.
Why be so inclusive? Introducing the latest technologies on sub-S-class models has as much to do with Mercedes' intention to furnish its customers with the best of the best as it does with the increasingly frenetic pace at which new technologies are being developed. In the past, new developments happened slowly enough that Mercedes could wait and debut its latest tricks on the next-generation of its flagship and technological showcase S-class models. These days, the automaker can't afford to wait five to six years to bring the latest gadgets and safety gear to a new S-class and then take additional time before spreading those features to less-expensive models. That's good news for consumers, even if it steals some stature from the S-class.


I have stayed with Minolta since then. I am now using the Minolta 7D. I did not think I would like digital. I would not be able to choose different films to get different colors. Boy was I wrong. I have not shot my film camera since I got the digital one.
Online I buy equipment from 2 companies. These are also the companies that get the most recommendations in the photo newsgroups.
I am on my third Gateway Computer. I find they are usually the lowest price for the most computer/software package. Although Dell was a very close contender in the last round of buying.
With the exception of the computer itself I get 90% of my computer equipment and software from Buy.com .
I use Photoshop CS 2 for my photo editing. It is a great program but rather expensive. I got a lite edition with a flatbed scanner and upgraded from there. I would recommend Photoshop Elements for those who can't afford Photoshop.
I am using the Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer and it is fabulous.
I currently use a Minolta Scan Multi with a slide feeder to scan my slides. I started out with a Scan Dual (or is it Dual Scan, I can never remember). The Scan Dual is great if you are not scanning in a multitude of slides.

It's been a busy three weeks since Barça and Milan met in the first leg of the tie: Barça have beaten Sevilla (2-1) and Deportivo (2-0) and lost to Real Madrid in the Cup (1-3) and the league (2-1).Although that meant they were knocked out of the Cup, they stay well out front in the La Liga.
There have been three injuries in the squad, all muscle related: Adriano is now back and fit, Xavi is waiting for the medical okay, but should be fit for the game and Marc Bartra is definitely out. Eric Abidal has also re-joined the squad – having been giving the thumbs up from the Club medical staff on February 21st.
Meanwhile, Milan have maintained the good run of results they had been enjoying before the first leg, drawing with Inter (1-1) and beating Lazio (3-0) and Gènova (0-2) to move up into third place, two behind Naples and 11 off Juventus.
Friday's win against Genova could prove to be expensive for Milan though, as goal scorer Pazzini came off injured and will miss the trip to the Camp Nou, whilst centre half Mexes also picked up a knock and although he has travelled, he is a doubt for the match.

Q: "Get-ADGroupMember | Get-ADUser" fails for users in different domain Running the following cmdlet works for all users in the group membership (group in Amer domain), regardless of what domain the user listed resides in:
Get-ADGroupMember <group_name> -Server amer

However, when trying to get details on the users by piping to Get-ADUser, I get errors for the users in a different domain (EMEA) then the group (AMER):
Get-ADGroupMember <group_name> | Get-ADUser

Here is the error returned after each user in a different domain (error users in EMEA domain):
Get-ADUser : A referral was returned from the server
At line:1 char:46
+ Get-ADGroupMember GBL-Storage-Admin-NAS-L2-U|Get-ADUuser
+                                              ~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (CN=EMASAN-    WARNE...C=pfizer,DC=com:ADUser) [Get-ADUser], ADReferralException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : A referral was returned from the     server,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.GetADUser
I can lookup each error user by specifying get-aduser <user> -Server EMEA, but that is manual painfull when there is a lot of users.
How can I get the pipe to Get-ADUser to work with users in other domains?

A: Basically, you need to query a DC that holds the global catalog if you want to chase referrals to other domains (see here). DCs holding the global catalog can be determined like this:
$gc = Get-ADForest 'example.org' | Select-Object -Expand GlobalCatalogs -First 1

where example.org is the FQDN of your forest root domain.

A: For the sake of clarity, currently, the native cmdlets do not have this capability. Selecting a global catalog does not allow you to chase referrals. As defined in your link --

The global catalog is a distributed data repository that contains a
  searchable, partial representation of every object in every domain in
  a multidomain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest.

You still appear to end up with a user object that you can use though so it's a good workaround.

A: I managed the similar issue just by checking what the referral is, something like
try {
    Get-ADUser -Filter {samAccountName -eq "SomeUser"} -SearchBase "DC=other_city,DC=example,DC=com" -Server example.com
} Catch {
    $_.Exception.Referral
}

From its output I get a correct server for the user I asked for.

Senior Capstone Group Organizes Ocean Cleanup
What does 50 pounds of trash look like? It may not seem like a large amount, especially if the trash is in a large landfill. But for two seniors, it was 50 pounds of trash that was picked up in less than two hours along a Rhode Island beach that reinforced their Senior Capstone topic — to focus more on recycling and throwing away less trash.
Sydney Jackson '20 and Lia-Sophie Keller '20 said they became interested in this topic through their love of animals.
"Animals were a big part of our interest in this project. We both love animals and when we saw how much sea-life is affected by ocean pollution, we felt like we needed to try to do something about it. We also started noticing litter around us and the amount of items that could be recycled, but were not."
As part of the implementation of their project, the group gathered volunteers and spent part of a Saturday collecting trash off a beach in Rhode Island (where Keller is studying this school year).
"The clean up went really well," the group shared. "Everyone who took part of the clean up was so happy to be there and was shocked with the amount of trash they were able to pick up. While cleaning, we felt like we were truly making a difference. Even though this clean up took place on one of the many hundreds of beaches around the world, we felt like we made an impact on ocean pollution. It was awesome to see everyone come together for one cause."
"The group was well organized and did a great job promoting this cleanup," said Capstone mentor Tony Ricciuto '74.
Part of the group's capstone project also included speaking to elementary students about the importance of recycling.
"This Capstone project has attracted people from different generations," Ricciuto reflected.
"We hope that this project and experience will allow others to see just how important taking care of the environment is," the group added. "We hope that others learn the importance of the saying, "reduce, reuse, recycle,' and the fact that by taking part in those three things, ocean pollution can be prevented. With that in mind, we hope that after others see our project and hear about our experience, that they decide to make simple daily-life changes. Some of these changes may include using reusable bags at the grocery store, using paper straws or no straws, and making an effort to recycle when possible."
The capstone group also created an Instagram page to highlight their efforts.


Harmony… I've previously had that in my life, but only once, briefly, a while ago. It was during the time I'd started my first year of college. My own apartment, a new old car, and a life free of deadbeat stepfathers, all of which was fulfilling enough. But if it wasn't, I also had a best friend, soul mate, and boyfriend all in one. Yes, life was near perfect.
For many months I rested in a prolonged sleep, fighting for my life. Well, more than fighting for it, also dreaming of it. Dreaming of him. Thank goodness, the dream is over and I'm back in the real world now. And all I want is for everything to return to the way it was. But nothing's the same; most of all, us. Once again, I find myself at the crossroads of a ruthless battle, this time not for life, but love. Do I fight for the guy I twice fell for, or do I let her take him away?

But what if the design you've got discovered is Ok as is, and also you merely must get it able to submit for permits? There are various kinds of timber that you can use; get the advice of your local timber seller to search out out which one is affordable and greatest suited to the region. If you're making lot of changes to the plans, you are in all probability within the clear, although there isn't any accepted authorized threshold for what are "important" adjustments. If in case you have used plenty of wood structures for your own home, then erosion can also trigger rot to set in destroying these.

These partitions might be made from different kinds of materials like concrete, natural stone, wood and even from old railway ties. The popularity of wood retaining walls is diminishing however this is an effective alternative if your own home has a really rustic and outdated world design. The one drawback is that you need to use these just for walls where the peak is three meters or much less. A well constructed retaining wall can not only look aesthetic but in addition show you how to make your backyard useful as soon as once more. Sloping blocks or yards are aesthetically attractive and provides a whole new look to your private home.
Within the United States, local constructing codes are based on one of 4 present "model" codes. In case you wanted to make the home a little bit greater, you solely needed tell your contractor - and you didn't have a plans examiner and a building inspector trying over your shoulder. And in areas that require compliance with energy codes, these calculations must be redone. It is very doubtless that the house plan you purchase will need some modifications to convey it "up to code". For the framing you will want: 1 hub, 8 head beams, 8 rafters, and sixteen beam & put up braces. All the blocks have lips and hence you possibly can interlock these easily with out the necessity to put in any mortar. Those are just the "architectural" drawings - you may additionally need to have structural adjustments made, which may require overview by a Registered Architect or Professional Engineer. Additionally it is advisable to get treated wooden as these are resistant to rot and fungus and final for a very very long time.
What designs are available? If a type of designs meets your wants, that is a much more environment friendly and value effective approach to go. But the problem is that regardless of its good looks, it may well pose several problems and in additional ways than one. To do otherwise is known as "plan stamping" and is a observe than can cost an Architect his license. Buy a research set of the plan that's closest to what you need, game room floor plan and have the plan service or your design professional evaluate it for the feasibility of the change you need. Do not buy one which has nearly everything you want and assume that your other rooms might be easily added. This will result in water logging which over time can harm the very basis of your own home. Plan services sell plans that conform to the code that was in effect in the location the home was built, and at the time the home was constructed.

According to the poll, the biggest challenge for Cruz to a second term is among independent voters, with whom he had a 57 percent unfavorable rating.
According to the poll, the biggest challenge for Cruz in his path to a second term in the U.S. Senate is among independent voters. Cruz had a 57 percent unfavorable and only 25 percent favorable rating within that group, the poll found.
O'Rourke was the clear choice of younger Texans, with those surveyed between the ages of 18 and 34 favoring the Democratic challenger by nearly 20 percentage points (45 to 28 percent). Cruz, on the other hand, leads among voters ages 55 to 74 by 14 points, 45 to 37 percent.
Cruz's lead among those over 75-years-old is even greater, at 39 to 17 percent.
Cruz has followed President Donald Trump's playbook and criticized O'Rourke for siding with NFL players who have knelt during the national anthem to protest racial injustice.

Hong Kong Monetary Authority Expects To Uncover More Cases Of Fraud As E-Wallet Losses Double To HK$400,000
Facebook0Tweet0LinkedIn0
The amount of money stolen from customers using Hong Kong's new faster payment system has ballooned to HK$400,000 (US$51,000) – and the Monetary Authority believes that figure could increase.
On Tuesday, Howard Lee Tak-chi, the deputy chief executive of the HKMA, said there were more than 10 suspected cases of fraud involving the system they knew about so far, and the authority was in the process of gathering more information from its various partners.
"We need to figure out the amount with various parties such as customers, banks and e-wallet operators," Lee said. "If customers do not tell us, we wouldn't have known."
Lee said e-wallet operators would compensate victims if unauthorised fund transfers were found, under an agreement between the operators and banks.
Only last week, the city's de facto central bank put the amount believed to have gone missing at HK$180,000.
While most cases have involved several thousands of dollars in losses, HK$100,000 was taken in one instance, a spokeswoman for the authority said earlier.
The thefts are a setback for Hong Kong's smart banking push, and last Wednesday the authority ordered e-wallet operators to suspend the automatic top-up function from 21 banks to Octopus and the city's units of Alipay and WeChat Pay.
Police are investigating the fraud, but Lee moved to reassure the public that the thefts had nothing to do with the security of the services, which are part of the faster payment system launched on September 30.
Comparing the system to a highway, and the e-wallet operators as car park managers, Lee said the new system was like a road connecting different banks and operators, and the thefts happened not on the road, but at the car parks.
"Thieves stole cars from car parks and drove on the highway," he said. "The problem is not about the highway, but the security of the car parks. It is up to car park managers to guard their gates on who they allow to get in."
The fast payment system is meant to enable the instant transfer of funds between banks and e-wallet operators, rather than the 24 to 48 hours it can presently take.
Some victims said they believed their personal data, including Hong Kong ID numbers, had been stolen, perhaps from data they had submitted when applying for jobs.
The stolen identity numbers were then used to set up accounts in different e-wallets, enabling top-up transfers from different banks.
Before suspending the auto transfer function, the authority allowed 21 banks and 10 e-wallet operators to conduct immediate fund transfers, top-up of e-wallets, and other cashless point of sale transactions.
Lee said the function would be resumed later this week after e-wallet operators stepped up security measures on authorisation procedures for new accounts.
E-wallet operators such as Alipay Hong Kong, WeChat Pay Hong Kong, Octopus and HKT's Tap & Go mobile wallet were affected. Alipay is affiliated with Alibaba which owns the South China Morning Post.
Other fast payment system functions such as topping up from credit cards or individual fund transfers were not affected. The popular peer-to-peer payment app, PayMe, run by HSBC, was not affected as it had yet to join the faster payment system.
Lee said there were 1.5 million registered accounts with the faster payment system, with a daily usage of 30,000.

Q: are the characteristics in this line chart possible to achieve using Adobe's built in charting component in Flex? I'm new to Flex/AS3. I've attached an example line chart below. I want to know if this type of graph can be created using the standard line-series chart available in Flex (Flash Builder 4.6), or whether there's something drawn below that is non-standard and would therefore require some rather involved customization. The key features are:

*

*Different line styles and colors (dashed, dot-dash, solid, thick, thin, opacity)

*Placement of units (y-axis "seconds" and x-axis "Hz")

*x-axis zoom/pan control bar below graph (move knobs in and out to set x-axis min and max plotted values)

*Log x-axis scale, linear y-axis scale

*Data Tip (or, some call it tool tip, not shown below)

*SI units for x- and y-axis tick labels.

My guess is that everything should be pretty standard to accomplish using Adobe's built-in charting (with the possible exception of item 6, see below). Is that a good assumption?
I'm particularly concerned about the x- and y-axis tick labels (item 6). For example, the x-axis tick marks as a number would be:
1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, 10000000

but they need to be replaced with SI units, where k=1000, and M=1000000, so the corresponding marks would be (replacing the numbers above with the strings below)
"1", "10", "100", "1k", "10k", "1M", "10M"

The same goes for the y-axis, where p represents 1e-12, and n represents 1e-9.
I can create an algorithm that accepts a number and outputs a string to do the SI unit conversion. But given that, is there a way to easily manage the tick mark labels to replace the default numbers with such strings? Any comments much appreciated.

A: All of these features can be implemented using Flex Charts library included in Flex SDK.

*

*Different line styles

*(Not sure, where definitely is set, needs googling)

*Create custom component and bind to minimum and maximum of axis.

*Use LogAxis

*Custom DataTips

*Custom axis renderers

A: You'll have to use third party code to achieve exactly what you want, especially for zoom and pan.
Different line styles and colors (dashed, dot-dash, solid, thick, thin, opacity)
Thickness, color and opacity are built-in features. Dashed lines can be implemented using this link, for instance.
Placement of units (y-axis "seconds" and x-axis "Hz")
You can display axis label, but it won't be at the extremity of your axis by default.
x-axis zoom/pan control bar below graph (move knobs in and out to set x-axis min and max plotted values)
Well this is the tricky part. You can in deed play with your axes' extrema, but you'll encounter problem with lineseries as they won't draw a line towards a point that is outside your axis range. My advice would be to slice your dataProvider instead, but you'll need to fully control your axis too.
Log x-axis scale, linear y-axis scale
LogAxis is part of the flex Charting framework, so no problem here.
Data Tip (or, some call it tool tip, not shown below)
As Timofei Davydik writes, datatips are highly customizable.
SI units for x- and y-axis tick labels.
Custom label function can also be used to customize the way your data are shown.
Conclusion
If I were you, I'd rather choose another technology. Flex Chart framework is a bit old now, has not been significantly updated for a while and since the Flex SDK has been "abandoned" (or given to an open-source foundation, as they say), no further update will be done. For handling large sets of data with high performance, DyGraph (which is written in JavaScript) is a good solution, in my own opinion.


This Wednesday, the web hits the fan as Spider Island overtakes NYC. The summer of 2011 will be known as the summer of the Marvel cross-over events. Marvel's Fear Itself is kicking into high gear and the hammer-fest still has a ways to go before the grand finale. There's also the mutant version of a messy divorce that is Schism, happening on the west coast. (From what I understand Wolverine & Cyclops go to war with each other over the decorative china). Meanwhile on the East Coast our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man leaps right into Spider Island, one of the biggest Spidey-centric cross-overs in years. In preparation for the event the Marvel Marketing Machine (alliteration!) has the web-head's home town covered. More on that in a bit.
He looks like Sesame Street's resident meth addict.
The thing that makes any super-hero "super" is that they're one of a kind. Someone with skills or abilities beyond normal people, and they use those abilities to be a symbol and a beacon for everyone else. So... what happens when everyone else gets to have your super powers too? It's no secret that the Earth-shattering event that is the crux of Spider Island involves every man, woman, child & apparently some of the animals in New York City mysteriously gaining the powers of the Amazing Spider-Man. The pieces have been falling into place for a few months now, first with teasers and rumors, then with the prologue "Infested: The Road to Spider Island". Manhattanites begin showing displays of spider-proportionate strength, sticking to walls that they shouldn't, and other high flying acrobatics. All the while watched by a menacing furry green figure that fans immediately will recognize as the Jackal. The Jackal may be the most hated and despised villain of the whole spidey-verse; however that's mostly because he was responsible for the never-ending clone saga.
While the mention of the Jackal may be enough to give fans who remember the clone saga a headache, I personally am psyched to see how Dan Slott treats the character. The Amazing Spider-Man has been helmed by Slott since last November and in my opinion we've seen some of the best new stories in years. He's earned my trust and I am ready and raring to go for his latest tale.
There are tons of rumors and spoilers circling the internet in the wake of San Diego Comiccon, but to be honest I hate spoilers. I prefer to stay away from the message boards and let the story unfold. I have however read some interviews and info that came about from the SDCC Spider-man panel and the things implied have me incredibly excited for the future.
The idea of not only seeing my favorite super-heroes slug it out, but the entire ASM supporting cast fighting alongside them is something that, as a fan, I honestly would never have even thought of as a possibility. The other twist will be that Peter Parker will get to swing mask-free without fear of exposure for the first time since Civil War. In fact, Dan Slott has said this will be a Peter Parker story.
And who better to save the day? As a fan I've always identified with Peter Parker on a very personal level. The struggles he's gone through as Peter, especially in the past few years have really struck home and solidified my connection to the character.
It begs the question: Where did MJ's shirt go?
If your excited as I am, then you wanna celebrate the kicking off of this event. Maybe even get the down-low from the creators? Well, Dan Slott and crew are obliging in a big way this week. First, there's "Spider Island in the Club" at the People's Improv Theatre tonight 7/26 at 8pm. Tickets are a mere $5 and you'll get to hear it straight from the man himself. Sponsored partly by Midtown Comics you can also count on plenty of great prizes and giveaways. Then Wednesday night to celebrate the release of the aptly numbered issue #666 Dan Slott, Fred Van Lente & Joe Caramanga will be doing a signing from 6 - 7pm at MidTown Comics downtown store. I'm going to do everything I can to get to both, so check it out and keep an eye out for us!
