When I was a kid I was involved in lots of activities – Girl Scouts, piano lessons, learning to play trumpet in band, and baton twirling. Most of it didn't involve a lot of physical effort, except the baton twirling. Yes, I said baton twirling! Most people think of that as a "nerdy" kind of activity that only a handful of southern beauty queens do for their talent portion in pageants.
Let me enlighten you just a little. When I started taking baton lessons at the age of 5, I was shy and quite afraid of being around people – kids included. My parents searched for something that they thought I might enjoy that would also bring me out of my comfy, quiet shell. They offered dance lessons, I rejected them. They thought of different sports and I refused again. Then they discovered baton twirling, and somehow it appealed to my unique 5-year-old spirit.
My first few months of lessons were with a small group of other little girls all trying to master the "two-hand twirl" and the "figure 8." Of course both those tricks and all the other fancy moves we learned had to be mastered not only by one hand, but by the other hand too. Soon we were also asked to add leg moves such as kicks, jumps, lunges, and turns all while keeping both hands going! Thus, my body had to learn all about coordination and balance, not to mention the cardiovascular training it was receiving by using all those big muscle groups. To put this into the perspective of learning a new skill, imagine trying to learn to write with your non-dominant hand today. How long do you think it would take to master perfect, legible handwriting?
Within the first year of taking lessons I was marching down main streets in parades all over the Denver area (I was born there, you see). Our little group had to toss, lift, scoop, pass, kick, leap and twirl all while lifting each knee alternately making sure to "point those toes" every time. Not only that, we had to all do it at precisely the same time, exactly to the beat of the music. Whew! What a workout! We also showed off our talents performing in recitals for which we practiced so hard. I remember my teacher telling us we needed to practice an hour a day. A whole hour – that's eons to 5 and 6-year-olds. Can you imagine doing something physically demanding that is repetitive for an hour every day? Now that's what I call EXERCISE!
As my coordination, strength, stamina and flexibility increased I was encouraged by my teacher and my parents to take my skills into the competitive arena. For a shy, introverted little person, this would be a major accomplishment. I entered my first solo competition at the age of 7. While I didn't place first, I DID earn a smaller trophy and a whole lot of SELF CONFIDENCE. From there I began competing in more and more local, regional and state competitions.
Over my "career" of competitive baton twirling, I earned over 100 trophies and medals. But the most important rewards I earned were the ability to overcome my extreme shyness and, even better, gain the benefits of keeping my body "on its toes" by constantly moving and challenging the muscles, ligaments, joints, bones, heart and lungs – just like a regular, lifelong EXERCISE REGIMEN.
As I grew into my teens, I started playing softball. I believe that because I was now able to enjoy being around other kids and doing things on a social level, I searched for more activities that would allow that. What I didn't know then, that I have been able to see now, is that at that time of my life I adopted an interesting perspective where exercise was concerned. If someone suggested going for a jog or taking a step aerobics class (those were barely invented way back then!), I skirted the opportunity. My attitude was that I "hated" exercise. I didn't want any part of organized activity that was categorized as "good for you". And yet, get me on the softball field and I'd do my level best to hit the ball as far as I could, throw out the runner with all my might, run the bases as fast as my legs would carry me…all in the name of FUN! I know what it's like to do something that in the back of my mind is "good for you" but is, at the forefront, fun, interesting, and easy.
My baton twirling days were not over yet. My family and I moved from Denver to Charleston, South Carolina. There I became a "feature twirler" for the local high school (I was only in the 8th grade). This meant that I performed as a soloist in front of hundreds of people at the football halftime shows. I'd say THAT was a true test for overcoming stage fright! We stayed in South Carolina for a year and a half where I continued my competition twirling.
From there, we moved to Topeka, Kansas (my mother's hometown). Unfortunately, we were not able to find qualified baton teachers, however I was able to continue my twirling ambition by being on the twirling team at my high school, then becoming the drum major and feature twirler there.
Upon entering college, I auditioned for and was accepted as a member of the "K-Steppers" twirling team at Kansas State University. This afforded me the opportunity to not only perform for thousands at a time, but I also was fortunate to be a camp counselor/instructor for young girls who wanted to learn the art of baton twirling! I was now giving back the very gift I was given by teaching shy, uncoordinated, eager girls the fantastic craft of baton twirling with all its wonderful "side effects". I didn't know it then, but I think this is where my passion for teaching people about healthy activities was born.
After college, I got married and started working in the "real world". My love for being active did not fade. I continued to play softball 4-5 times during the week and on many weekends. When I was 20-something and thinking about starting a family I decided it would be a good time to start "exercising" and eating right so I could give my child(ren) a healthy start. Even though I participated in co-ed and women's softball leagues, I didn't really focus on being "in shape". I also didn't give much thought to what I was eating each day. At this point I decided to attend a local step aerobics class at my church. At first I felt a bit clumsy but I didn't mind it as much as I thought I would. Especially since I was attending along with a close friend of mine. It's funny how confidence is boosted in numbers. One day, after class, the instructor pulled me aside and said, "I have to be gone next week,would you like to step in and teach for me?" I was dumb-founded and flattered. I told her I didn't have the faintest idea of what to do, but she assured me that with a few little pointers I would be fine. I jumped in the following week and led my first group exercise class. The rest, as they say, is history. I was hooked! It was such an uplifting milestone to know that I could positively affect people by sharing my enthusiasm for motion, activity, music, and feeling of accomplishment.
From that exhilarating, empowering experience almost 30 years ago, and two healthy, athletic children later – Zachary and Ariel – (I am a proud mom, too!), I grew into a passionate, caring, fun-loving, motivating instructor and personal trainer. I earned national certifications from the American Council on Exercise (ACE), the Aerobics & Fitness Association of America (AFAA) and the National Exercise Trainers Association (NETA) and have kept them current through countless hours of continuing education courses.
I moved to Arizona in January of 2010 to follow my daughter to Arizona State University, and to live near my father and step-mother who lived in Sun Lakes.
and more, all while maintaining my group exercise teaching and, of course, working one-on-one with my clients.
As I add time to my calendar age I realize how important remaining active is to my living with a high quality of life. I don't plan on slowing down, so I will keep on taking care of my body in order for it to stay strong to the end.
Even though I didn't start out like lots of kids by playing soccer or basketball or other popular sports, I grew up being very active and became a powerful, confident athlete. From this hardy start, I developed a love for movement, well-being and competition.
I know this has catapulted me into the field of fitness education because I want to be able to instill in people the same feeling of strength, ease of motion, coordination, balance and flexibility that I have grown to appreciate. I LOVE to see the light-bulb reaction when a client discovers the capabilities that unfold as they progress into a better state of health each day.
I also love finding new and interesting ways to lead a client to a life of activity and healthy choices for a better quality of life.
I think the best news is, no matter what age someone is, it is always possible to improve, regain and grow into strength, better range of motion and endurance.
This is why I continue to teach in any way possible so that I can reach people of all fitness levels, ages and circumstances.
It is amazing what the human body can and WILL do to keep its LIFE IN MOTION.

A four-goal deficit proved too much to overcome as the Smoke Eaters dropped a 4-3 decision to the Vernon Vipers Saturday at Cominco Arena.
Adam Tambellini's second goal of the game early in the second period proved to be the difference as a Trail rally fell just short, and the Smoke Eaters' 4-game win streak came to an end.
The Vipers started their attack early in the first period, when Liam Board pounced on a loose puck in the low slot, wristing a shot over an outstretched Lyndon Stanwood just shy of the 5-minute mark. The Vipers added to their lead later in the opening frame when Tambellini redirected a Marc Hetnik centring feed for his 20th goal of the season.
Vernon made it 3-0 early in period two, just as Smoke Eaters defenseman Bennett Hambrook was stepping back on the ice after serving a penalty. Braedan Russell snapped a quick shot from the right circle that eluded Stanwood. The Vipers would make it a four-goal advantage thanks to a fortuitous bounce to Tambellini, who was alone in front of Stanwood after a Bryce Eviston shot rattled off a Trail defender's shinpad.
The Smoke Eaters needed a spark desperately, and found one 8:08 into the second period when Tyler Berkholtz's wrist shot from the left-wing circle fooled Vipers goaltender Austin Smith. Mitch Foyle banged home a power-play rebound in the final minute of the period to cut the deficit to 4-2 and give the home side some life.
Trail poured everything it could on the Vernon net (outshooting the visitors 35-21 overall), and struck a third time midway through the third period on a nifty deflection from Luke Sandler. The 19 year-old redirected a Djordje Leposavic point shot for his 15th goal of the season, and 6th in the month of December.
It was as close, though, as Trail would come, despite golden opportunities in close on Smith in the dying moments, including a cross-crease pass in the final seconds that hopped at the worst possible time, and stayed away from Smoke Eater sticks, and away from the Viper net. Vernon's early goals proved to be too much to handle as the Vipers snapped a four-game skid of their own, and moved to within two points of Trail for the fourth seed in the Interior division.
My Three Stars:
1. Adam Tambellini, Vernon
2. Tyler Berkholtz, Trail
3. Andrew Tegeler, Vernon
Up Next: The Smokies get little to no time to dwell on tonight's loss, with a visit from the Nanaimo Clippers set for Sunday afternoon. Puck drop at Cominco Arena is at 3:00 pm.

Murfreesboro Medical Clinic has agreed to adopt a written Americans with Disabilities Act nondiscrimination policy and pay $2,500 in damages after allegations of ADA non-compliance.
The medical facility, located in Murfreesboro, also operates five offices in Tennessee, including a spine, joint and pain facility in Manchester.
A woman who is disabled and uses a wheelchair said she was denied medical treatment at the office of Dr. Joseph Boone due to being unable to transfer from her wheelchair to an examination chair. The woman said the medical facility said she'd have to bring someone with her to future appointments to help move her to the examination chair.
Health care workers refused to make reasonable modifications in order to perform her exam, so the woman was forced to seek care at a different facility further away from her home.
MMC plans to provide ADA compliance training to its staff members, according to CEO Joey Peay.
"It will be focused mainly on patient transport. ... like moving a patient from a wheelchair to an exam table," Peay said of the training.
Peay said he plans to roll out the new training to MMC's employees in April.
Health care professionals will also be trained on touching base with patients during appointment scheduling to learn of any disabilities or special accommodations needed before a visit.
"I think it's always good to remind people about disabilities to make sure accommodations occur," Peay said.


The apartments are 100 meters from the city centre of Pas de la Casa, located in front of the ski slopes, overlooking the mountains and the ski slope of Grandvalira ski resort. It is located in a lively area, where guests can find all kind of shops within a short walk from the establishment, such as supermarkets, ski rentals, restaurants and shopping center. The establishment has a rustic design and offers simple, comfortable and fully equipped apartments and studios, presenting parquet floor. All have a kitchenette with all the comforts guests require. Guests will find the airport within easy reach.

Звенигородський сільськогосподарський технікум — колишній навчальний заклад в місті Звенигородка Черкаської області, що надавав середню спеціальну освіту в галузі сільського господарства.

Історія

У м. Звенигородка Черкаської області функціонував один із найстаріших в Україні аграрний навчальний заклад — сільськогосподарський технікум (1920—1976).

На виїзді із Звенигородки у ватутінському напрямку колись стояла розкішна будівля кінця ХІХ — початку ХХ ст., яка дуже нагадувала палац. Це колишнє реальне ремісниче училище ім. цесаревича Алексія.

У цій будівлі 1920 року було розпочато навчання в сільськогосподарській школі.

У роки Другої світової війни технікум було зруйновано, відбудова основного корпусу розпочалася у березні 1946 року. Було відремонтовано 22 груби, розпочато будівництво гаража на 5 машин, а вже 1 вересня 1946 року розпочалося навчання. В десяти відремонтованих кімнатах навчалося 285 учнів. Згідно з наказом Міністерства сільського господарства УРСР № 235 від 16 липня 1976 року Звенигородський сільськогосподарський технікум переведено до Тальянківського державного аграрного технікуму (с. Тальянки Тальнівського району Черкаської області).

У 1972—1976 рр. технікум очолював директор — Василь Оксентійович Дерев'янко, кандидат сільськогосподарських наук. Викладались наступні дисципліни:
 механізація та електрифікація;
 хімія;
 агрохімія;
 основи землеробства та ґрунтознавства;
 математика;
 плодоовочівництво;
 автосправа;
 землеробство;
 українська мова і література;
 російська мова і література;
 англійська мова;
 німецька мова;
 історія;
 фізика;
 фізвиховання;
 ботаніка;
 меліорація
 лісівництво;
 селекція і рослинництво;
 захист рослин;
 технічні культури;
 тваринництво;
 геологія;
 економіка;
 виробниче навчання.

Рішенням Черкаського облвиконкому від 13.05. 1975 р. № 288 дендропарк технікуму сільського господарства (0,3 га) було віднесено до категорії ботанічних заповідних об'єктів місцевого значення. У складі колекції екзотів — гінкго дволопатеве (знищено), тис ягідний (червонокнижний вид), катальпа, горіх чорний, туї, ялини та ін. З 1976 року дендропарк був під охороною СПТУ-34, а в реєстрі «Природно-заповідний фонд Черкаської області» (Черкаси, 2006) такий об'єкт ПЗФ уже не значиться. Приміщення і територія налажить приватному власнику і використовується як склад будівельних матеріалів. З дерев-екзотів залишились туї, тис, катальпи. Багато дерев і чагарників знищено.

Технікум мав навчально-дослідне господарство (УЧГОСП) у с. Гудзівка Звенигородського району Черкаської області. Тут студенти навчалися доглядати за сільськогосподарськими культурами і тваринами (свинями, великою рогатою худобою) та ін. Діяла бібліотека.

Live From Animal Crossing
April 22, 2020 DonnaNewsAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, Gabrielle de la Puente, House House, Now Play This, The White Pube, Untitled Goose Game
Earlier this month art critic Gabrielle de la Puente from The White Pube met up with the creators of Untitled Goose Game, House House, inside the Nintendo Switch game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Part of Now Play This – an annual festival of experimental game design – the interview brought up questions of how art organisations and institutions can adapt to the ongoing global pandemic, as well as discussion around 'going viral' and how to approach games journalism as an arts writer.
Our festival communications officer Ana Hine caught up with de la Puente to discuss the experience.
Looking at the original programme for Now Play This 2020 I don't see a similar event to Live From Animal Crossing. Had you already been in talks with Now Play This or were you approached when they made the decision to go virtual?
The original plan was to do this in person because House House were due to come to the UK for the BAFTAs, but with everything on lockdown they never made it and we all moved online instead.
Whose decision was it to have the interview in Animal Crossing? I'd never seen anything like it, it was very cool. How did you find the setting as an interviewer and as an arts journalist? Are you enjoying playing the game personally?
Now Play This suggested the interview take place in Animal Crossing, which was a bit of a dream come true. I like it when interviews with creatives are bound together with an activity, something to watch while you're listening or something to listen to while you're watching. In the past, The White Pube produced some pilots with HP Parmley for a series we called Art Dates, which involved speaking to artists while we went on a dog walk or were getting a haircut.
I really liked it but we didn't get funding to take it forward unfortunately. This felt close to that. I have clocked in upwards of 75 hours in the [Animal Crossing: New Horizons] so far because it's helping ward off any quarantine depression, so it felt comfortable to be in the game and doing the interview at the same time. I think as an interviewer, it gave me a good shield too. I was at my desk with pages of notes spread out, some cookies, a big bottle of water and of course I was wearing pyjamas – this was all preferable to say, interviewing Turner Prize nominees under bright lights in a busy room of 200 people.
What advice would you have for art critics and curators at this time, who may be needing to re-think their practice and approach to take into account the cancellation of, essentially, the entire 2020 cultural calendar due to social distancing guidelines?
I don't quite feel like I've settled into quarantine enough to make this a once in a lifetime productive, creative residency. You know, people are dying, people are scared. I don't think I have a lot to contribute to The Discourse right now. If I have anything to say it's give productivity a break for the time being and then when you are ready to get back into it (once you've looked after yourself enough to have that headspace again).
We all need to be reading Crip Theory and speaking to disabled immunocompromised people who might have bouts of staying home outside of state-imposed quarantine. What should curators have already been doing to deliver content to the people who can't visit their galleries? Is their work online? If it is online, is it accessible? What have they made that can be adapted to make it accessible, and do they have funding to make that happen?
There is also something very uncool about arts institutions suddenly trying to use social media, when they should already have young and experienced people on staff to do that work.
How has this situation helped you think about your accessibility policies and how do you think we can all tackle digital literacy and access in the next few months?
There should be free internet across the country and everyone should be given a smartphone and shown how to use it, especially in case of emergencies like right now when many can't get to libraries to use computers.
I believe you said during the stream that you're not super familiar with games journalism but you're starting to get into it?
I am growing really tired of the exhibition experience as a visitor, and I know that I get so much more out of games. My art criticism is bending towards game writing, and I think I am going through all the waves of imposter syndrome and like I'm encroaching on other people's territories as happened with the visual art specific stuff when we began our website. I was just easing into it and also trying to persuade our audience to allow me to go this way, and now it's kind of funny that the only thing I can write about in isolation is video games. The decision's been made for me, kinda, and I'm glad.
There were some technical difficulties during the interview – do you think we're just all going to have to get used to that happening, or do you think this current lockdown might be an opportunity for the development of improvements to the way we operate online?
God, I have no idea about this. I can't imagine a world without technical difficulties but of course it would be good if they were no more.
There was a point in the stream where you talked about growth as a mindset and how both for yourself and Zarina [Zarina Muhammad, the other half of The White Pube], and for the guys behind Untitled Goose Game going viral has forced you to think about what a sustainable level of success and activity looks like. Can you expand on this a bit?
We started our website as a little joke but a few months in we found that readers and artists really valued our writing, found it useful, that it was a different perspective on the arts experience because it was coming from a working class voice, a brown voice, and from two young women. We started to care about it because other people started to care, and I think it took us a bit of time to understand how powerful it was to have an audience at all – like, we could start to put pressure on individuals and institutions to change for the better because we had their backing and this image of being Big and Strong. But we were still just writing on laptops in bed, without an office or funding or any material resources. We had some soft power because we had people's attention.
And there was definitely a breaking point when people who also wanted to write about art started to demand that we shared our resources with them, and they wouldn't believe that we had nothing to share. And in the same push, people demanded we allow them to write for us, but we don't know anyone well enough to open that up to them (and every time we've dipped our toes in and tried it, it's caused a lot of behind the scenes problems). I think the only way we can sustain this is to keep our day jobs, keep up the schedule of one upload a week, and most importantly keep this just the two of us. That keeps it protected, means we can control the way it moves and the politics it's putting out into the world; and means we are only ever speaking on behalf of ourselves, which is the way it should be.
Is there anything else you'd like to add? I see that The White Pube has a Patreon, do you think crowdfunding platforms like that are a way people should go if this lockdown and social distancing continues in the way it's expected to?
I want to add that corona stress is making it difficult to write and I hope this was useful! We have a Patreon that didn't really take off the first three years we had it, but mid-2019 people started to subscribe en masse and I'm so glad – it is an absolute lifeline right now because I'm out of work otherwise due to the quarantine. It is a real life-saver and I am already seeing people start accounts on there during isolation, and I wish them the best with it too.

Don't Be That Guy is a comical and metaphorical approach to purchasing IBM.
DUBLIN, LEINSTER, IRELAND, April 2, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- #DontBeThatGuy (APRIL 8TH 2019) - Origina is delighted to announce the release of our latest video campaign 'Don't Be That Guy'. 'Don't Be That Guy' is a series of short videos that take both a comical and metaphorical approach to purchasing IBM software, and the maintenance cons that come along after your software purchase.
The underlying theme with this campaign is to break the status quo, when it comes to renewing with IBM - "If it isn't broke, why fix it…" or "I've always renewed with IBM"; With this quirky take we aim to enable those in the industry to realize there is more software support options out there, which are better quality and half the price. This campaign depicts that you don't have to be tied into IBM's lengthy and costly software support contracts, there are high quality alternatives at more than half the cost.
To commemorate the launch of 'Don't Be That Guy', we held a launch party at the Lighthouse Cinema, in Dublin. This launch party was the first live viewing of the campaign, and this helped to raise awareness of 'Don't Be That Guy' amongst our clients and those in the industry.
About Origina – Origina is the leading global independent third-party provider of IBM software support and maintenance. A big part of what we advocate in Origina is the promotion of choice by campaigning against lock-in practices that dominate the software industry. Origina's CEO and founder, Tomás O'Leary is involved in http://www.repair.org and was one of the founding members of www.free-ict-europe.eu. The main objective of these non-profits is to secure the right of ownership and the freedom for consumers and businesses alike to freely choose their providers to trade, maintain and repair. Repair is a huge part to any business. That's why the ICT law is critical and allows businesses the right to maintain and repair their products with whoever they wish.


Welcome to the editors' weekly posting's page where I place any of our author's comments which I feel may interest you, occuring over the last week. It is normally updated every Monday morning.
Prior to the site going live in November 2012 dairy notes are batched into monthly lots. Diary notes covered by Mr Dickety's book ended on 30th July 2012.

Syncope and unexplained falls had a different prognosis according to their etiology.
Mortality rate was higher in TUF than benign syncope.
TUF was an independent predictor of one-year mortality in subjects with dementia.
Accurate assessment of syncope or fall in dementia is important for prognostication.
To compare one-year mortality risk associated with syncope and unexplained fall in older adults with dementia.
522 patients (aged >65 years) with dementia and history of transient loss of consciousness and/or unexplained falls were evaluated. The diagnosis of syncope was based on European Society of Cardiology guidelines. A "Syncopal Fall" was defined in patients with an initial clinical presentation of unexplained fall, but a final diagnosis of syncope after complete assessment. A "Truly Unexplained Fall" was defined in patients with an initial clinical presentation of unexplained fall, in whom a diagnosis of syncope had been excluded after the diagnostic work-up. One-year follow-up was assessed by phone interview.
Follow-up data were available for 501 participants (mean age 83 ± 6 years, 65% female). After a mean follow-up of 324 ± 93 days, death from any cause was reported in 188 participants (24%). Advanced age, male sex, cognitive and functional impairment were associated with a higher mortality rate. Patients with "Truly Unexplained Falls" had a higher mortality risk compared with syncope and "Syncopal Fall". A diagnosis of "Truly Unexplained Falls" remained an independent predictor of one-year all-cause mortality in multivariate model.
We propose the novel diagnostic category of "Truly Unexplained Fall", resulting from the application of syncope guidelines to subjects with unexplained falls. This condition in older adults with dementia is a predictor of one-year all-cause mortality. For this new high risk profile, we advice a comprehensive geriatric assessment focused on risk factors for fall, aimed at a possible improvement of prognosis.

Q: Excel VBA - create column names using MS Project headers I'm in the middle of writing a script that populates an excel spreadsheet with data from an MS Project file.  I would like the script to recognize the title name of the MS Project columns as I have a number of custom columns with different names (custom number fields are populated with different names)
The code below was my attempt, but i'm getting an error when it comes to writing the value of the task column title to the sheet, am I doing something wrong here?
Sub PopulateSheet()
Dim Proj             As MSProject.Application
Dim NewProj          As MSProject.Project
Dim t                As MSProject.Task

Dim xl as workbook
Dim s as worksheet
Dim Newsheet as worksheet

Set Xl = ThisWorkbook
BookNam = Xl.Name
Set Newsheet = Xl.Worksheets.Add

'Code to find and open project files
Set Proj = New MSProject.Application
MsgBox ("Please Select MS Project File for Quality Checking")

'Select Project File
FileOpenType = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
               FileFilter:="MS Project Files (*.mpp), *.mpp", _
               Title:="Select MS Project file", _
               MultiSelect:=False)

'Detect if File is selected, if not then stop code
If FileOpenType = False Then
    MsgBox ("You Havent Selected a File")
    Exit Sub
End If

'Write the FileOpenType variant to two separate strings
NewProjFilePath = Left$(FileOpenType, InStrRev(FileOpenType, "\"))
NewProjFileName = Mid$(FileOpenType, InStrRev(FileOpenType, "\") + 1)

Newsheet.Name = NewProjFileName
Set s = Newsheet

'Populate spreadsheet header row with column titles from MS Project
s.Range("A1").Value = t.Number1  ***<-- Error '91' - Object variable or With block variable not set***

End Sub

A: Here is generic code that loops through the fields in the active task table and prints out the field headings as displayed in the table.
Sub GetTaskTableHeaders()

    Dim t As Table
    Set t = ActiveProject.TaskTables(ActiveProject.CurrentTable)
    Dim f As TableField
    For Each f In t.TableFields
        If f.Field > 0 Then
            Dim header As String
            Dim custom As String
            custom = Application.CustomFieldGetName(f.Field)
            If Len(f.Title) > 0 Then
                header = f.Title
            ElseIf Len(custom) > 0 Then
                header = custom
            Else
                header = Application.FieldConstantToFieldName(f.Field)
            End If
            Debug.Print "Field " & f.Index, header
        End If
    Next f

End Sub

Note that fields can be customized at the project level to be given a different title, or they can be customized at the table level. This code looks for both customizations and if neither is found, the field name is used.

A: Try the code below, explanation inside the code's comments:
Option Explicit

Dim Proj                As MSProject.Application
Dim NewProj             As MSProject.Project
Dim PjTableField        As MSProject.TableField   ' New Object
Dim PjTaskTable         As MSProject.Table  ' New Object
Dim t                   As MSProject.task

Dim xl As Workbook
Dim s As Worksheet
Dim Newsheet As Worksheet
Dim BookName As String
Dim FileOpenType
Dim NewProjFilePath As String, NewProjFileName As String

Set xl = ThisWorkbook
BookName = xl.Name
Set Newsheet = xl.Worksheets.Add

'Code to find and open project files
Set Proj = New MSProject.Application
MsgBox ("Please Select MS Project File for Quality Checking")

'Select Project File

               MultiSelect:=False)

'Detect if File is selected, if not then stop code
If FileOpenType = False Then
    MsgBox ("You Havent Selected a File")
    Exit Sub
End If

'Write the FileOpenType variant to two separate strings
NewProjFilePath = Left$(FileOpenType, InStrRev(FileOpenType, "\"))
NewProjFileName = Mid$(FileOpenType, InStrRev(FileOpenType, "\") + 1)

Newsheet.Name = NewProjFileName
Set s = Newsheet

' Open MS-Project File
Proj.FileOpen NewProjFilePath & NewProjFileName
Set NewProj = Proj.ActiveProject

' ===== New code Section =====

' set the Table object
Set PjTaskTable = NewProj.TaskTables(NewProj.CurrentTable)

' loop through all tablefields in table
For Each PjTableField In PjTaskTable.TableFields
    If PjTableField.Field = pjTaskNumber1 Then ' check if currect field numeric value equals the numeric value of "Number1"
        'Populate spreadsheet header row with column titles from MS Project
        s.Range("A1").Value = PjTableField.Title ' populate "A1" with the field's title and
    End If
Next PjTableField

God's great miracles through Moses filled Egypt with undeniable evidence for the God of Israel (Ex. 9:27). Yet neither the Bible nor history records Egyptian repentance, only good riddance (Ps. 105:38; Ex. 12:35-36; 14:25). Further and more dramatic, consider the effect of those tremendous miracles on Israel. God followed the 10 plagues (Ex. 7:14-12:30) done on behalf of Israel with the parting of the Red Sea (Ex. 14:21-22) and the drowning of the Egyptian army (Ex. 14:26-28). Then daily for 40 years God appeared to the entire nation as a column of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night (Ex. 13:21-22; Num. 14:14; Neh. 9:12; Ps. 105:39). The Lord kept their clothes from wearing out (Deut. 8:4), produced water out of the Rock (Ex. 17:2-6), fed the people with angels food from heaven (Ex. 16:4-7) and brought meat on demand, literally filling their camp with quail (Num. 11:31-32; Ps. 105:40).
Jesus did great miracles and crowds followed Him, but mostly out of selfishness. Of thousands who received His miracles, few worshiped Him. Of 10 lepers healed, only one even said thanks (Luke 17:17). Generally, Christ's miracles did not win over the crowds (Mat. 8:34; 11:20; 13:58; Mark 15:8-15; Luke 4:23-28; 8:37; 17:17; John 5:8-10; 10:25-39; 12:29-30). Even His own city rejected the miracle-working Messiah (Mark 6:4-6).
Norman: No, there's some leftovers.
Jack: You're wrong, it's all gone.
Jack: Nope. We finished it.
Jack: Did too. I saw mom put the rest in the garbage disposal. Norman: Do you like being wrong?
Jack: I'm not wrong. You're wrong.
Norman: All right, I'll just go in there and prove it.
Norman comes out of the house with a serving bowl half filled with leftover spaghetti. He shows it to his brother.
Question: Is Jack happy that he now knows the truth? Answer: No. Actually, Jack is angry. Why? Norman proved him wrong!
People do not like the truth shoved into their faces. Jack may now know that there is leftover spaghetti but he resents his brother for proving the point. These boys quarreled over a minor issue. What is the reaction when the issue becomes more significant?
Often the more serious the issue, the more a man resents those who prove him wrong. Evangelism sees the ultimate application of this principle. He who rejects God is not typically eager for correction. When someone's heart is hardened against God, a miracle shoves the truth in his face. His mind cannot deny God but his heart can resist. Thus countless witnesses of the miraculous have refused to acquiesce.
In which three cities did Jesus perform most of His miracles and what was the corporate response of those cities to His works?
The Lord did many miracles in Jerusalem and it's suburbs. Yet even in Jerusalem the crowds were not won over.
For good reasons God determined to provide signs and wonders for and through Israel. Yet even He tired of their demand for service. It's like bratty kids who want more and more, and no matter how much a parent does for them, they just demand more. It gets so that the parent is restrained from doing the good he would have wanted to do, because of the emotional weakness and immaturity of his children. The parent, for the child's own good, wants the child to love him, not for gifts but for himself.
The rich kid expects special treatment. The rules should not apply to him. But his wise earthly father, though he has wealth and power, does not comply. How much more will God, our heavenly Father, encourage His children to live by the rules, without special exceptions?
What happens if the rich kid has an imprudent father? His son wants special treatment and gets it. The rules are bent for him, over and over and over. He does not learn the lesson of his failures here on earth. He is shielded from the consequences of his actions. Obviously this hurts the son, but what of the onlookers? What do neighbors think of the powerful dad who pulls strings so his kid gets away with things other kids cannot get away with? What do schoolmates think of the rich kid's privilege? Does it warm their hearts? Are they drawn to respect dad and admire the son?
Why do the Epistles have a scarcity of miracles? God miraculously healed every sick person introduced in the Gospels and Acts, but none in the Epistles. For example, Paul's said, "Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick." (2 Tim. 4:20).
The Epistles tell of no specific miracles. Paul knew of Timothy's continuing health problems. This means that Paul himself did not heal Timothy of this persistent problem. Further, of course, neither could Timothy nor any of the believers around him heal this ailment. Moreover, Paul does not even instruct Timothy to seek deliverance by praying for healing or anointing with oil.
Notice that Christians who pray for God to miraculously fix their cars only pray for repairs they cannot see with their eyes. If a car does not start, some believers will ask God to fix it rather than asking Him for wisdom in the situation. However, believers never ever pray for a repair of something visibly wrong with the car. For example, Christians never pray and ask God to supernaturally fix a flat tire. Why? If a knob is broken off or a windshield is busted out, Christians do not ask God to fix those things. Why? Because they know, deep within, even if they have a hard time admitting it, that God will not fix those things no matter how much faith they have. However, a mechanical problem that they cannot see presents a blind faith opportunity to deceive themselves. The uncertainty that goes with hidden problems leaves enough chance that the car just might start on the next attempt (as cars so often do). So, Christians claim a miracle when the car starts on the next try.
Christians should admit that they do not possess the physical redemption of their earthly bodies. For if they did possess that redemption, then they would not long for it. So remember to glorify God in trials and difficulties because that is when His power will shine brightest.

In shock to nobody, Lawrence Frank fired in Detroit
Kurt Helin Apr 18, 2013, 2:28 PM EDT
I officially got off the "Lawrence Frank knows how to build a team" train earlier this season, when Andre Drummond was showing real promise but was being held back so Jason Maxiell could get more minutes. Despite what owner Tom Gores thought, this was not a playoff team, it was a team that needed to take its lumps and learn.
The Pistons are off the Lawrence Frank train as well, or maybe more accurately he was tossed from the Pistons' train.
As had been expected, the Pistons fired Frank on Thursday, reports Marc Stein at ESPN.
A meeting Thursday with Pistons owner Tom Gores finally confirmed Frank's ouster, after Gores offered very tepid public support of his coach when speaking to local reporters earlier this week. Frank was believed to be largely Gores' choice to replace John Kuester in the summer of 2011, although NBA coaching sources maintain that Pistons president Joe Dumars preferred current Knicks coach Mike Woodson for the job.
The Pistons will confirm this later in the day. Wherever Frank is next season he will still get the $3.7 million the Pistons owe him in salary.
Frank looked like a guy trying to assert some control and save face when he told Gores recently that the team needed to pick up the option year on his contract or not bring him back. Everyone knew this day was coming.
The question is what direction the Pistons go now. For a young team a young coach coming up — Brian Shaw out of Indiana, for example — would be a good fit. But we'll see what direction an owner who expects to make the playoffs next season chooses to go.

Mike Dunlap fired as Bobcats coach after one season
The Charlotte Bobcats were not going to win a lot of games this season if Red Auerbach and John Wooden rose from the dead to co-coach the team. There just wasn't enough talent.
But Mike Dunlap in his one year could not seem to reach what players he did have to the satisfaction of ownership and the team has fired him after one season, it announced Tuesday.
"Rich Cho and I conducted our season-ending review and met with coach Dunlap to reflect on this season. As an organization, it was decided that we needed to make a change with the head coach position," president of basketball operations Rod Higgins said in a released statement. "We want to thank Mike for his contribution and wish him the best in his future endeavors."
Dunlap was an off-the-radar hire, he had been an assistant at St. John's University the season before. It was hoped he would connect with the young players, but that didn't pan out.
The Bobcats went 21-61 last season, the second worst record in the NBA. Remember they got off to a fast 7-5 start, but after that fell apart. While it was a mess, at least that was an improvement over 2012, when they won seven of 66 games, the lowest winning percentage in NBA history (.106).
As for replacements, again look for the Bobcats to go with a young coach. You may think working for Michael Jordan is a draw, but for a coach with options the things that are draws are franchises willing to pay top dollar (the Bobcats are small market and not big spenders) and those with a lot of young talent (strike two for Charlotte). Stan Van Gundy isn't walking through that door. What they do have are some nice young players (Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for one), more than $20 million in cap space and another top 5 draft pick this year. Charlotte is a multi-year rebuilding project and the Bobcats are better off with a young coach who seems to connect with his players even while they struggle. Jacque Vaughn did that in Orlando, for example — they only won 20 games but that team played hard for Vaughn.

A couple of NHL firings:
- Colorado fired Head Coach Joe Sacco ( I had him for 3 points )
- Dallas fired GM Joe Nieuwendyk ( I don't think anybody had him on their list )
Just to be official.

Avalanche fire Joe Sacco
Joe Yerdon Apr 28, 2013, 1:41 PM EDT
Joe Sacco's run as head coach of the Colorado Avalanche is over.
The team announced they've relieved Sacco of his head coaching duties after four years on the job and after yet another disappointing season, the writing was on the wall.
In his tenure as the Avs bench boss, Sacco took the team to the postseason just once during his first season on the job in 2009-10 as the team piled up 95 points in the standings and lost to San Jose in six games in the first round.
Since then it's been nothing but mediocrity as they've missed the playoffs in three straight seasons. The Avs have put up the second-worst record in the league in two of those years.
Sacco's record in Colorado tops out at 130-134-14 and now he'll head to Finland and Sweden to coach Team USA in the World Championships. The Avalanche have not announced a replacement as of yet and Sacco may not be the only one out the door as GM Greg Sherman could soon follow.

Official: Stars fire GM Joe Nieuwendyk
Joe Yerdon Apr 28, 2013, 11:17 AM EDT
What was just a report last night is now official.
The Dallas Stars have fired Joe Nieuwendyk as the team's general manager after four years in the role. It's believed Detroit Red Wings assistant GM Jim Nill will be hired to fill the position. Nieuwendyk's contract with the Stars was set to expire after next season.
Nieuwendyk was hired in May of 2009 and while he's made some shrewd moves during his tenure, he'll likely be remembered by NHL fans as the guy who lost out on a pair of deals with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The trade that sent James Neal and Matt Niskanen to the Pens for Alex Goligoski now lives in infamy after Neal became a monster goal scorer alongside Evgeni Malkin while Niskanen emerged as one of their more consistent defenders. Goligoski has done well in Dallas, but the others' performances turned the deal into a lopsided one.
Brenden Morrow's performance in Pittsburgh this season is also not helping Nieuwendyk's image as an executive while helping Pens GM Ray Shero look like a wizard.
Now it'll likely be up to Nill to figure out how best to surround guys like Jamie Benn in Texas.

On Monday, the Raptors will decide the fate of
Bryan Coangelo. The local media seems to think he
won't have his contract extended.
If he's fired, chances are the coach will also be fired
when the new GM comes in.

Q: Registering Zend Database Adapter in Registry I am looking to register a reference to the main Database Adapter in the Registry during Bootstrapping so it can be used elsewhere in my site (specifically the Authorisation action).
I have implemented an ugly fix where i create a Database Table object and call the getAdapter() method on it and pass through that. However, this is a bad way of doing it and I would like it to be available via the registry.
Does anyone know how to do this? Any help or pointers in the right direction are appreciated!
I'm using Zend Framework 1.8.

A: If you're using Zend Framework 1.8+, and created your project with the command line tool, then it's as simple as registering your database settings in your application.ini config file.
resources.db.adapter = "PDO_MYSQL"
resources.db.params.host = "your.database.host"
resources.db.params.dbname = "database_name"
resources.db.params.username = "username"
resources.db.params.password = "password"
resources.db.isDefaultTableAdapter = true

If your database settings are preceded by resources.db you won't even need to do anything in your Bootstrap.php file because it will do it for you. Also, by setting the isDefaultTableAdapter setting to true, you can get an instance of your database adapter anywhere in your application.
$dbAdapter = Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter();
$authAdapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable($dbAdapter);

A: Your missing the best thing :)
If you use the Zend_Db_Table models (you should be) etc then you can set up a default adaptor - this way when you instantiate a model the DB connection it taken care off - this way you dont really need to save it in the registry or bother about connection before running a query through the model.
I do save it in the registry for later use if needed though - but I may remove this
protected function _initDB()
{
    // Check that the config contains the correct database array.
    if ($this->_config->db) {

        // Instantiate the DB factory
        $dbAdapter = Zend_Db::factory($this->_config->db);

        // Set the DB Table default adaptor for auto connection in the models
        Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($dbAdapter);

        // Add the DB Adaptor to the registry if we need to call it outside of the modules.
        Zend_Registry::set('dbAdapter', $dbAdapter);
    }
}

A: My 2 cents...
How to grab the default DB Adapter:
From Bootstrap:
<?php
$dbResource = $this->getPluginResource('db');
db = $dbResource->getDbAdapter();
var_dump($db);
?>

From a Controller there are two methods:
<?php
// Method 1
$bootstrap = $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap');
$dbResource = $bootstrap->getPluginResource('db');
$dbAdapter = $dbResource->getDbAdapter();
var_dump($dbAdapter);

// Method 2
$dbAdapter = Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter();
var_dump($dbAdapter);
?>

A: Thanks for the replies. Ive decided to change the accepted answer and post the solution I finally used - which is insanely simple in the end!!
This is basically based on Dcaunt's comment...
In the bootstrap class..
protected function _initDb()
{
    $resource = $bootstrap->getPluginResource('db');

    $db = $resource->getDbAdapter();

    Zend_Registry::set("db", $db);
}

Then access that elsewhere with...
$dbAdapter = Zend_Registry::get("db");

Thanks for the help and hopefully this helps someone else.

A: Check the zend-documentation at :
15.5.3.3. Storing a Database Adapter in the Registry
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.db.table.html
$db = Zend_Db::factory('PDO_MYSQL', $options);
Zend_Registry::set('my_db', $db);

// Later...

$table = new Bugs(array('db' => 'my_db'));

something like that you're looking for?
Edit:
to load your configuration from an ini-file, use:
 parse_ini_file($inifile)
;configuration.ini
host = 127.0.0.1
user = username
password = blabla

;yourfile.php
$options = parse_ini_file('configuration.ini');

$db = Zend_Db::factory('PDO_MYSQL', $options);

A: I have a method in my bootstrap to add the adapter to the registry. I'd prefer a cleaner solution, but it works:
protected function _initRegistry(){

    $this->bootstrap('db');
    $db = $this->getResource('db');

    $db->setFetchMode(Zend_Db::FETCH_OBJ);

    Zend_Registry::set('db', $db);
}

A: Here is what i do:
Inside the bootstrap:
define('CONFIG_FILE', '../config/general.ini');
define('APP_MODE', 'development');

Inside the Initializer:
 /**
 * Initialize data bases
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function initDb ()
{
    $options = Zend_Registry::get('conf');
    $db = Zend_Db::factory($options->database);
    $db->query(new Zend_Db_Expr('SET NAMES utf8'));
    Zend_Registry::set('db', $db);
}

public function initConfig ()
{
    if (file_exists(CONFIG_FILE) && is_readable(CONFIG_FILE)) {
        $conf = new Zend_Config_Ini(CONFIG_FILE, APP_MODE);
        Zend_Registry::set('conf', $conf);
    } else {
        throw new Zend_Config_Exception('Unable to load config file');
    }
}

And finaly my config file looks like this:
[production]
database.adapter         = pdo_Mysql
database.params.host     = db.example.com
database.params.username = dbuser
database.params.password = secret
database.params.dbname   = dbname

; Overloaded configuration from production

[development : production]
database.params.host     = localhost
database.params.username = root
database.params.password =

Take a look at:

*

*Zend_Db::Factory()

*Zend_Config_Ini

*Zend_Registry

A: If you are using Zend Framework 1.8 just do something like this in your controller/action:
class CreateorderController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function testAction()
    {
        //more code
        $users_obj = new Default_Model_Users(); //this would load the model using the Default namespace
        //more code
    }
}

My Defaul_Model_Users class would look something like this:
<?php
/**
 * application/models/Users.php
 */
class Default_Model_Users extends Zend_Db_Table
{
    protected $_table;

    public function getTable()
    {
        if(null === $this->_table) {
            $this->_table = new Default_Model_DbTable_Users();
        }
        return $this->_table;
    }

    public function fetchAll()
    {
        $result = $this->getTable()->fetchAll();

        return $result;
    }
}

And the part of the model which "interacts" directly with the database tables is found inside DbTable directory will look like this:
<?php
/**
 * application/models/DbTable/Users.php
 */
class Default_Model_DbTable_Users extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
    /** Table name */
    protected $_name = 'users';

    public function init()
    {
        $this->_db->setFetchMode(Zend_Db::FETCH_OBJ);
    }
}

Then I would have the same application.ini generated by Zend Framework with this small addition:
resources.db.adapter               = "PDO_MYSQL"
resources.db.params.host           = "localhost"
resources.db.params.dbname         = "mydb"
resources.db.params.username       = "root"
resources.db.params.password       = "password"

That is how I did without without having to change the bootstrap files.

A: I didn't want to use the registry to store an object that I should be able to access, so I did a little digging. It turns out that the bootstrap is registered as the front controller parameter "bootstrap", which is accessible from any of your controllers as explained in this manual page for Zend_Application.
So in your controller classes you can get the db adapter that has been defined in your ini file like this:
$bootstrap = $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap');
$resource = $bootstrap->getPluginResource('db');
$db = $resource->getDbAdapter();

The Communist Party of Tajikistan and its allies, including the People's Party of Tajikistan, dominate the government. In June 1993, during the civil war, the Supreme Court banned a number of opposition parties. The secular-nationalist Democratic Party of Tajikistan was allowed to reregister in 1996. Other opposition parties are the Islamic Rebirth Party; Lali Badakhshon, which advocates greater autonomy for the Gorno-Badakhshan region; and Rastokhez (Resurrection), a nationalist party advocating freedom of religion. Since 1997 opposition leaders have been allowed to participate in government, and in early 1998 some were appointed to official positions.

Here's a little more information about the Kimberley Golf Club from the Board of Directors.
The Kimberley Golf Club is a member club of the BC Golf Association (BCGA) and through this affiliation is also a member club of Golf Canada (formerly RCGA). The BCGA assesses the club for annual dues based on Full-status membership numbers. These dues cover the cost for the various programs and events run by the BCGA and Golf Canada, one of which is the Handicap system located on the Golf Canada website.
The Golf Canada Handicap is recognized by all Golf Canada afffiliated clubs for tournament play, and for events run by Golf Canada or provinical associations such as the BCGA.
Within the Kimberley Golf Club we have many different membership and associate categories. Note that the BCGA dues are treated differently depending on your membership type.
1) If you are a full-status member, your BCGA dues are assessed as part of your KGC membership dues. You automatically receive access to all programs offered by BCGA/Golf Canada. Full-Status members include Adult (Couples), Senior (Couples), Junior, Student, and Nine-hole membership categories.
2) If you are a member of another Golf Canada affiliated club in addition to KGC, please contact the club regarding exemption from BCGA dues. You should only be required to pay these dues once. You should designate which club is your primary club and pay your dues through the primary club.
3) If you are an Associate Member or Yard Card Holder, you are considered to be a limited status member of KGC. The club is not assessed by the BCGA for annual dues, so you do not automatically receive membership in the BCGA/Golf Canada. If you wish to obtain access to a Golf Canada handicap you must request membership into BCGA/Golf Canada and pay the relevant dues.
4) If you play under a corporate membership, you will need to notify the club if you require a Golf Canada handicap. Payment of BCGA dues may be required.
5) If you are a regular participant in the KGC Men's night or a member of one of our Men's Teams, you may have been assigned a Men's Night Handicap. Note that this handicap is for use in Men's night play or events affiliated with Men's Night only. it is not recognized for tournament play at other clubs or for other KGC tournaments.
6) If you are a public player who wishes to play in tournaments at KGC or at other clubs, you will require a Golf Canada handicap. You should contact Golf Canada directly to acquire access to the handicap system and pay the relevant dues.
If you have any questions related to handicaps, please contact Director of Golf – Simon Jones.
Oakville, Ont. (Golf Canada) – The Royal Canadian Golf Association (operating as Golf Canada) has announced a notable change to the Canadian methodology for calculating a golf handicap as it relates to Equitable Stroke Control (ESC).
The RCGA Handicap & Course Rating Committee recently approved a change to the long-standing Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) method, bringing the Canadian methodology into equivalency with current ESC calculations employed by the United States Golf Association (USGA).
The new Canadian methodology for Equitable Stroke Control will go into effect March 1, 2012 to coincide with the release of the 2012-2015 version of the Handicap Manual.
Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) is the downward adjustment of individual hole scores for handicap purposes in order to make Handicap Factors more representative of a player's potential scoring ability. It sets a maximum number that a golfer can post on any hole depending on the player's Course Handicap.
WHY THE CHANGE TO ESC METHODOLOGY?
The RCGA Handicap & Course Rating Committee approved the change after commissioning statistical research which revealed that the current Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) method causes differences in Handicap Factors that are not necessarily commensurate with a difference in ability, particularly for golfers in the higher half of each range of handicaps within the ESC table.
A golfer with a 1 handicap, for example, should not be subject to the same ESC score adjustments as a player with an 18 handicap when their abilities are so different. By reducing the size of the handicap ranges within the ESC table, those issues are mitigated. The new ESC method provides a more even distribution across a wide range of handicaps.
Using maximum numbers (rather than adjustments being based on hole-par) facilitates simpler application and comprehension of the Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) procedure. It also mitigates the affect of courses not allocating the proper par to holes as per RCGA guidelines.
Currently, in a head-to-head match, the lower handicap player has a better than 50% chance of winning. The new ESC will bring the odds closer to 50%.
The new ESC brings an RCGA Handicap Factor and USGA Handicap Index into virtual equivalency – an important consideration with the number of 'snowbirds' playing golf in certain parts of the United States during the winter months.
Canada will continue to use 'Handicap Factor' as the proper terminology related to handicapping.
Golf Canada will be communicating the changes to Equitable Stroke Control methodology to all Canadian golf industry groups including golf clubs that use Golf Canada's Handicap Network and golfers that track an official handicap in advance of March 1, 2012.


First, thank you for all of your hard work making such a great game. Been playing 2.3.0 a lot, my ONLY gripe is that from about 1995 on, the number of passenger planes available becomes overwhelming. By 2018, there's 34 passenger planes. I know there's been a lot of work to craft all those planes, but it's **** near impossible to quickly get the right airplane.
Not sure exactly where to trim, but old versions of the 737 (-100 - -400) would seem obvious candidates for retirement as -500-900 come online. That much seems easy.
Not sure exactly how to rationalize after that, though maybe just having one version of the 747, 777, 787, A330, and A340 would certainly help. Also the 767s also pretty quickly become hopeless, and probably should be replaced by a 787, though I have no idea how to do that modeling. It would also seem that Airbus planes are a bit more efficient than the Boeings...Go 'Murica!
