Layout Placement Feature in Orchard CMS
If you develop Orchard Themes, you will appreciate a new featured, called Layout Placement, introduced in Orchard 1.5. Layout Placement allows you to place a shape in a different zone with a quick change to your Orchard Module's or Orchard Theme's Placement.info file. In this example, I will show you how I used Layout Placement in my Orchard E-Commerce and Online Store Example to place the title of products, categories, and other content types into a zone different than the default Content Zone as specified by Orchard CMS. If you enjoy this tutorial, don't forget to check out my other Orchard CMS Tutorials as well!

In her book "Personality Style at Work," Kate Ward shares the four most common team styles that individuals adopt when part of a group. Understanding how you function as part of a team can help improve your experience and help the team remain productive and positive.
1. Direct. A direct team member is typically the person who rallies everyone together and gives structure to the task or objective. This person is decisive, likes action and achieving milestones and is willing to push others and help where needed. The direct team member may engage in conflict, but it's for the greater good. Independence is crucial. She'll listen to all ideas presented but will decide what's best for the goal. However, this person can also be impatient and insensitive when giving feedback and often plays devil's advocate.
Potential roles: Manager, project manager, director, producer
2. Spirited. You know the teammate who is full of energy and bouncing off the walls with enthusiasm? That's the team member with a spirited working style. As the cheerleader, this person motivates, excites and inspires others to keep the energy positive. Don't be surprised | to hear off-the-wall ideas coming from the spirited team member.

Whether you agree with it or not, the Occupy Wall Street protests that began two months ago in New York have ignited a debate over income inequality and the political clout of the nation’s banks.
Before the protesters began camping out in Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan, much of the conversation had focused on the federal government’s debt and not the equally big debt run-up by U.S. consumers in the years before the financial crisis. Now it seems you can’t go a day without reading a story about the vast gulf between rich and poor and the shrinking middle class, or how the housing crisis won’t get fixed until something is done to alleviate the burden for millions of homeowners who are underwater on their mortgages.
Last month a group of graduate journalism | students from Columbia University spent some time at the Occupy Wall Street encampment in Zuccotti where they did in-depth interviews with over 200 protesters. (This was before New York City moved to forbid people from sleeping out in the concrete plaza). And the students findings were surprising in that the OWS protesters weren’t just a bunch of unemployed hippies, who all vote Democratic.

Inquest told of drink and cocaine use
9:30am Friday 26th October 2012 in News
A MOTHER died after taking a fatal cocktail of drugs and alcohol, an inquest heard.
Jade Parr was found dead in her own bed by her best friend Lucy Kibble.
The 25-year-old had taken a mixture of cocaine and vodka when she got home from a night out with friends in May.
Deputy Oxfordshire coroner Peter Clark heard how Ms Parr, a hairdresser, had spent the night of May 26 partying with friends at The Bridge nightclub in Oxford. Sean Pearce, an acquaintance of Ms Parr’s, said in his statement that he had spent the evening with her and her friends.
Mr Pearce’s statement said he and Ms Parr took a taxi back to her home, where they continued drinking vodka and she took cocaine.
Some time later, he said, he put Jade to bed and left. Having not been able to wake her up, he put her | in the recovery position. Ms Kibble found her body after going to her flat in Territorial Way on May 27.

One month before the much-debated Holocaust Memorial was due to open, the site was still in chaos. Berlin has a history of not finishing projects on time, and Eisenman’s Memorial looked like being yet another casualty. Workmen sat about looking exhausted while tourists peered curiously through the construction fence.
The building of the ‘Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe’ has been a protracted process. First proposed in the late 1980s, the project was not approved by politicians until the late 1990s, with American architect Peter Eisenman’s finalised design being presented to the public in 1999. Now, in 2005, here it was: an entire city block covered, seemingly haphazardly, in huge concrete blocks. Some of the ‘stelae’ lay low to the ground, while others stood upright, the tallest reaching a height of 4.7 metres.
The 2,711 pillars, planted | close together in undulating waves, represent the 6 million murdered Jews. Both the subject matter (which has forced a taboo part of Germany’s past into public consciousness) and the site have raised controversy. The 19,000 square metre block of land, situated just south of the Brandenburg Gate, has a | [

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jordan Zimmermann always has trouble with the St. Louis Cardinals. Game 2 of the NL division series was no exception.
The Washington Nationals' right-hander retired the side in order in the first inning, then struggled to get anybody else out in a 12-4 loss Monday that evened the best-of-five series at a game apiece.
Carlos Beltran hit the last two of the Cardinals' four homers and St. Louis chased an ineffective Zimmermann after three innings. Allen Craig and Daniel Descalso also went deep to help the defending World Series champions build a big lead that compensated for a two-inning start from an ailing Jaime Garcia.

To create the fruit filling, peel, core and slice peaches or apples and cover with a half cup of water in a quart sauce pan. Simmer covered for around 20 minutes until tender. You can also cheat and simmer the apples or peaches in a slow cooker barely covered | with water for an hour or more. Either way, strain liquid and mash with a potato masher. Now you have your fruit filling for the easy fruit pocket pies.
Four lbs. of fruit will make approximately 4 cups of fruit filling and each using about 6 tablespoons of filling.

Atheism - a fizzer or fantastic?
With the Global Atheist Conference about to kick off this weekend, it might be a good time to assess where atheism is at the moment.
Atheism appears resurgent, but beware, looks can be deceiving. Hitherto, atheism has been a bit of a fizzer.
The Global Atheist Knees Up threatens to be one big “Yes Fest” (loosely defined as a love in between people who completely agree).
The Godless are entranced by this Third Wave of English Atheism. The First Wave was led by Jeremy Bentham in the nineteenth century. He famously founded Utilitarian philosophy and more infamously inspired the design of the Port Arthur prison. The Second Wave was in the early twentieth century with the growth of secular Humanism. And | the Third triumphant Wave is led by its unholy trinity of storm troopers Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchins and AC Grayling.
This Trinity and others have inspired unbelievers everywhere to crawl out from under the bed and proclaim our Godlessness with pride. But beware of hubris. The problem is, we are so small in number. On many estimates, 85% of the world is still entranced by faith. Of the rest, only 2.3% are card carrying, badge wearing self proclaimed atheists. That | [

Man Alleges Republican Airways denied him Employment because of Tattoos on his Forearms
Indianapolis – The Indiana Civil Rights Commission’s (ICRC) Deputy Director Akia Haynes announced today that the agency has issued a finding that there is probable cause to believe that Indianapolis-based Republic Airways denied a male applicant the opportunity to interview for a position because of visible tattoos on his forearms.
An investigation stemming from a May 29, 2012 Complaint filed with the ICRC found that the Complainant was qualified for the position of Flight Attendant, yet denied the opportunity to interview for the position due to visible tattoos on his forearms.
However, the available evidence provided reveals that the tattoos could be concealed under the long-sleeved standard uniform shirt for Flight Attendants.
“The issue before the Commission is whether the alleging party was denied an interview based on his gender,” said Haynes. “Records show | that female employees were permitted to sign a waiver indicating they would agree to conceal their tattoos. However, the alleging party was informed he was not eligible to sign this waiver.”
In order to prevail, the Complainant must show that:(1) he is a member of a protected | [

You would think that given the higher frequency of victories for the latter, projectors of the former, conscious of events such as the Arab Spring, would be reluctant to invoke preemptive powers in a face-off with the latter.
But, as the philosopher Hegel warned, the Owl of Minerva flies only at dusk.
Hegel was saying that wisdom is an attribute that tends to take hold only at the drawn-out close to events, when fatigue sets in and hubris is exposed for the trap it is.
That is why with police power clenching tightly into a repressive sweep against all forms of democratic dissent, Bersih 2.0, the march planned for July 9 to push for electoral reform, has come to be draped in the mantle of iconic pronouns in freedom's eternal battle with autocracy.
Repressive action against Bersih in the last few weeks, ridiculous, even grotesque, in some instances, is enabling the march - if its proponents evade the fast-massing ranks of the repressor to stage it - to take its place among hallowed | ranks, such as Tahrir Square, Tiananmen and Edsa, to name a few - that have carved imperishable niches in emancipation's history.
In sum, the staging of the Bersih march has now become a movement that derives its force from greater than just the totality of the numbers its organisers claim they can marshal; and is stronger than the moral potency of its demands for electoral reform.

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. —It costs about $220,000 a year to run the civilian side of the Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport, money that comes from hangar rentals and fees, and from the governments of Berkeley County and Martinsburg, and the federal government.
Much of the land at the sprawling Shepherd Field is leased to the 167th Airlift Wing of the West Virginia Air National Guard for its fleet of 11 giant C-5A cargo planes.
But authority officials were notified recently that the bureau only will be paying $1 a year beginning in the new fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1.
Authority President Richard Wachtel and Airport Manager William Walkup normally go before the Berkeley County Council at budget time to ask for a renewal of its annual $37,000 annual appropriation. This year, they’re asking for $49,000 to make up the loss from the government pullback.
Several major | businesses leasing space at the airport, including a Polo Ralph Lauren distribution center and an airport restaurant, either went bankrupt or went out of business, Wachtel said.
“This is the worst I’ve ever seen it, and I’ve been on the board since it was created in 1982,” Wachtel said.
He was named chairman in 1988.

Aggies looking to update Coryatt's hit
Former Texas A&M linebacker Quentin Coryatt will be inducted into the Texas A&M Hall of Fame Saturday and will act as an honorary captain at A&M's game with Utah State Saturday. During the warm-ups before the game at Kyle Field, highlights of Coryatt's most famous play as an Aggie - a crunching hit of TCU wide receiver Kyle McPherson in 1991 that broke McPherson's jaw in three places and is now known simply as "The Hit" - routinely draws gasps and applause and whoops from the Aggie crowd gathering in the stands at Kyle Field.
For | the current Aggies, however, applause isn't what's on their minds. With no disrespect to Coryatt, the Aggies are looking for something a little more current to get that same reaction on a weekly basis at Kyle Field.

Now, thanks to Sadie Lincoln's mybarre3 online streaming service, we can take all the leg-lifting, core-toning classes we can handle from the comfort of our own living room.
Lincoln, a Sharecare fitness expert and longtime Pilates instructor, created mybarre3 specifically for overcommitted women like herself, and the classes are definitely quick and efficient enough to squeeze into a busy day.
When you sign up for a subscription ($15 for one month, $150 for a year), you'll have unlimited access to a variety of ever-changing, professionally taught 10- to 60-minute videos, which you can stream online from your computer, iPad or iPhone.
Whether you're looking to tone your core and glutes (the 30-minute "Runner's Workout") or appear a few inches taller (" | Posture with Jenni Johnson"), the routines definitely deliver. We recently tried the 10-minute "Leg Shaper" class and, despite the quaking in our quads, felt noticeably stronger after all those lifts.

But enough about you. Let's talk about me. In "Selling Ron," last week's Dallas Observer cover story by Christine Biederman, former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk went on at some length about what a racist I am. Among other things, he said, "Jim is just as racist, in a liberal way, as anybody. He still wants to fit me into a box of how a black politician should be."
Two things off the bat: There was a legitimate reason for this issue to come up in an interview with Kirk by a writer for the Observer. Biederman was assuring Kirk, a candidate for Phil Gramm's Senate seat, that her piece would not wind up sounding like me. Fair enough.
Second: When someone as sophisticated as Ron Kirk accuses me of racism, I have to weigh very seriously the possibility that he may be right. As a white man of a certain age, I know that I suffer at least a narrowness of perspective born of growing up white in a divided society. And that can come out as racism. As Forrest Gump should have said, racism | is as racism does. I watch for it.
But finally, enough.

Paul Formica (R) was in Madison today as part of his "Small Business Tour" initiative. Joseph Courtney (D) issued a statement today on the 1.7 percent cost of living increase in Social Security, saying it's smaller than he would like to see but still beneficial to seniors.
The Fifth District remains tightly contested in the polls, but not when it comes to finances. The Hartford Courant reports Elizabeth Esty raised $2.7 million so far, and Andrew Roraback raised $1.18 million. Esty contributed $525,000 of her own money, but only has $208,000 on hand at the end of the quarter. Roraback gave $25,000 of his own money but has $306,000 left.

Is There a Link Between Blood Pressure Medication and Cancer -- Particularly Kidney Cancer?
Dec. 3, 1999 (New York) -- Do blood-pressure-lowering drugs (antihypertensive agents) cause cancer? Could they possibly prevent it? These issues were addressed here at a special session on cancer risks at the 14th Scientific Meeting of the American Society of Hypertension (ASH). Although one study found ACE inhibitors to be protective, another sparked controversy by linking diuretics to renal cell carcinoma (a form of kidney cancer).
Treatment with an ACE inhibitor not only can lower blood pressure and protect kidneys but also can significantly reduce one's risk of dying from cancer -- especially a woman's risk of death from breast or gynecologic cancers, according to John L. Reid, professor of medicine at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Reid is the lead researcher for a study of 5,297 | patients taking antihypertensive medications who were followed-up for 16 years.

If the boy only knew what headaches he was about to cause...
Twelve Angry Men is a 1954 teleplay by Reginald Rose (and perhaps more famously, a 1957 film directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Henry Fonda and a veritable All-Star Cast of character actors) that concerns a supposedly straightforward murder trial. An eyewitness, forensic evidence, and the accused himself all seem to clearly point to an adolescent boy murdering his father. In the deliberation room, most of the jurors push for a quick guilty verdict, but one juror holds out and insists that they examine the evidence thoroughly to make darn sure that they've got the right guy.This work is best known as the film that popularized the Rogue Juror trope. Though it was not the first work to use it, it was the first to receive widespread critical acclaim. It's a classic of American cinema and recommended watching- especially because most of the other works on the Rogue Juror page reference | it either directly or indirectly.According to the American Film Institute, it's the second best courtroom drama movie in history, after To Kill A Mockingbird's film adaptation. In 1997 it was adapted yet again, this time as a Made For TV movie on Showtime starring Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott (which race lifted several characters and added more cussing).

Paris Fall 2011: Valentino, Alexander McQueen

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli chose to show their F/W collection for Valentino in the Tuileries garden – and what better place to exhibit their clothes made for contemporary princesses in the former royal Palace's grounds. The pretty slew of nude, pink and aubergine looks reflected Valentino's quiet, always ladylike style tug-of-war between ethereal and edgy: lace dresses with a hint of transparency, dark touches of intricately-worked leather, a fabulous razed pony skin trench, pleated skirts, bows on waists, and accessories to kill for, namely a standout pair of python boots. Daytime looks dominated, with a few pops of teal and navy for good measure –structured for day, diaphonous for night. Front row attendees including Alexa Chung, Bianca Brandolini, Caroline Sieber, Florence Welch, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Natalia Vodianova were the houses’ swans, all wearing pieces from Pre-Fall 2012.

The Dude as The Duke

George Clooney Has a Great Fall
No, not that kind of fall. Clooney has two films coming out soon, Up in the Air and The Men Who Stare at Goats. The first, from Jason Reitman (Thank You for Smoking and Juno | ) is a story about a man who resists real human connection, and the second is a decidedly quirky look at the world of a psychic military regiment during the Iraq War. Up in the Air is getting such great buzz that it has been pushed up to a November release. Check out those trailers.

A SINGLE DAD LETS HIS SONS RUN THE SHOW,

"Terrill Family" -- This single dad needs a clue about parenting. Before he got custody of his two boys, Lane (11) and Tate (5), Scott Terrill had never even given them a bath. Now he's got to step up. But in an effort to avoid giving his boys the harsh childhood he had, Scott has gone to the other extreme: zero discipline has led to a house run by tantrums, fights, screaming and slammed doors.

Planetary scientists have long wondered why Mars is only about half the size and one-tenth the mass of Earth. As next-door neighbors in the inner solar system, probably formed about the same time, why isn't Mars more like Earth and Venus in size and mass?

First Chris Colfer created some original artwork to raise money for animals. Now, the actor has graduated to adopting. Colfer went down to the West Valley Animal Shelter and took home an 8 year old 20 pound cat named Brian.
We often read about celebrities adopting puppies and kittens. Don’t get us wrong. We love any adoptions, but older animals have the hardest time finding a forever home. That’s why we’re so excited that Colfer is publicizing his new companion on twitter.
Colfer wrote, “I adopted a cat today from the West Valley Animal Shelter! His name is Brian, he’s 8 years-old and 20 pounds!” The “Glee” star continued, “It was heartbreaking to see so many sweet animals needing homes. Please think about rescuing!”

Yeah, yeah, I know; the subject of texting is less than exciting. But I’ve decided to address it anyway. So there!
Texting is one of those topics that get many adults all hot-under-the-collar. They decry it as ending the fine art of communicating face-to-face, or even via the good ol’ telephone. And, they grumble, teenaged and twenty-somethings will develop permanent bowed necks from constantly texting away on their “smart” phones. Said teenagers and young adults, naturally, argue that texting is convenient, easy, and fun.

|State of the Art in the Treatment of Medulloblastoma/Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors with Radiation Therapy|

Innovations in the treatment of Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors (PNET) and Medulloblastoma (MB) with Radiation Therapy (RT) have run hand-in-hand with those in the surgical, chemother | apeutic, and diagnostic spheres. Improvements in radiotherapy equipment and techniques along with the use of altered fractionation schemes, the optimization of radiation doses, and the administration of other adjuvant therapies have all contributed to improvements in outcome. Results, however, are not measured by survival alone. The long term toxicity that may arise from the administration of therapy can be considerable, and treatment must be adjusted accordingly. Thus, in the last decade, refinements in treatment have focused as much on improvements in quality of life as on survival.
Toxicity caused by craniospinal radiation therapy (CSART) can be formidable, especially in the | [

The next time you visit Youtube.com, do yourself a favor and type in “Will Blackmon Recovery.” The segment is only 10 minutes in length and offers terrific insight into someone who’s been repeatedly knocked down throughout his six-years-and-counting NFL odyssey, only to refuse to stay down for the count.
It just seems appropriate, given the laundry list of injuries he’s endured, that Blackmon’s first name is Will. The hard road he’s traveled, coming back from two major knee surgeries, has been well worth the tireless hours of rehabbing toil, including the countless repetition of medicine ball drills designed to bridge the gap in allowing Blackmon to bear fruit in a most satisfying fashion.

More Berlin…Different Adventures
A few months have passed since we told you what we’ve been up to. Let me summarize: Work! Both Ken and I are good working folk now – Ken with his laser beams and me with my Czech packaging design.
But before Ken went to accept any award or I got into a good routine at work, we had some visitors from across the Atlantic. Megan and Frank paid us a much needed visit from good ol’ Atlanta Georgia in early September. It was a much needed respite from constant broken German and cultural misunderstandings. And it gave us an opportunity to show some of our friends our new German life.
First, Frank, Ken and I were able to experience the famous Altona STAMP festival – a street art, dance and music street festival in the heart of Altona. We got to listen to some really great street music by day while waiting for the night parade to begin. Once the sun set, we had a perfect spot right in front to watch the elaborate parade of baton twirlers and international drum teams. We stood and watched with Bacardi-and-Coke cans and Astra beer. Ken even joined the parade at one point!
Megan arrived just in time for all of us to travel to | Berlin, yet again. This time we decided to do things a little differently. Being a little more familiar with our landscape, we decided to try out Airbnb.com and ended up staying in a cute little apartment in north Friedrichschain. It was a little noisy, but a 5 minute walk from both trams and the U-bahn station, plus a 5 minute walk to some morning coffee shops, which seemed to quickly become Frank and Ken’s morning routine.
