Q: Clientside validation using Xforms - MVC application I am trying to perform a client side form validation  using an episerver xform
the compiled html looks like this: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ojGGJw
Any guidance on how to achieve that?
I am thinking about using .validate library but I will have an issue if we add a new control to the form through epi.
Also i tried to use an AJAX call with something like this:
 $.ajax({
        url: "/industry/XFormPost?XFormId=0643b992-56c6-40a5-91eb-c557443630e0&failedAction=Failed&successAction=Success&contentId=36",
        data: $(this).serialize(),
        type: "POST",
        success: function () {
            alert('Hello this is a valid form');
        }
    });

it fires the event but does not save my form into the DB. even though all the fields i passed are valid

A: Regrettably XForms in its current state is notoriously cumbersome to work with when it comes to customization. For custom rendering and/or validation we often implement our own rendering completely.
There are numerous articles about how to achieve it, but it can be time-consuming. :/
Client-side validation only can of course be achieved by attaching event handlers to the default generated HTML, but that's usually not enough. Although this can combined with server-side events, it is difficult to properly customize how XForms work for the end-user without custom rendering.

A: Here's what i ended up doing , to include a full client side validation for my form using .validate() js library.
I am sure there is other ways to achieve that, so here's my version:
EpiServer has a class field that you can use for all of your controls (shamefully there is no hidden field by the way, but that's a different story).
So i added a css class named 'requiredField' and added extra classes for different kind of validations , such as 'emailField' for email validation and 'halfWidthField' for CSS layout purposes for my form.

In order to .Validate to work , i need to add necessary attributes. to achieve that , I created a small script to add those attributes based on the class names I already assigned.
my JS code looks something like this:
 $(".contact-form").find(".requiredfield").each(function () {
        $(this).prop('required', true);
    });
    $(".contact-form").find(".emailfield").each(function () {
        $(this).attr('type', 'email');
    });

lastly: for the ajax call to happen , I changed the view and made an Ajax call instead of a regular post call.
 @using (Ajax.BeginForm("", "",
                     new AjaxOptions
                     {
                         HttpMethod = "POST",
                         Url = Model.ActionUri
                     }
                     ))
                 {
                     Html.RenderXForm(Model.Form);
                 }

It works as expected and I can customize the validation as needed.
The final form looks something like this:

how to make your eyes red like you've been crying? Pleases give me some advice?
The easiest and convenient way is to do some make up. You could use some mascara on your eyelashes and rub your eyes in a gentle way, then your eyes will be filled with water. It looks like that you just cried. Moreover, you might use some pepper. It will irritate your eyes and make your eyes watering and red as well.

I was taken aback: Laxman wife on retirement
Hyderabad: VVS Laxman`s decision to retire with immediate effect didn`t just surprise the cricketing fraternity but also shocked his better half Sailaja, who was left wondering how the veteran would do without his "first wife".
"I was taken aback (when Laxman first conveyed his decision) because his aim was to beat Australia and England in India. So,we were expecting him to play till Australia series. It was quite a surprise," a teary-eyed Sailaja said at the press conference in which Laxman decided call it quits from international cricket on Saturday.
"But, he listened to his inner consciousness. That`s what matters more," she added.
Replying to a query, she said she would have liked to seem him continue playing for some more time. "Definitely. Like other well wishers, we were expecting him to play till the Australian series. His aim was to beat Australia and England in the home series. Because, they (India) could not perform well," she said.
Laxman would, however, definitely miss playing cricket as the game is his "first wife", she said.
Describing Laxman as philosophical and religious, she said her husband follows the tenets of Bhagwad Gita. "Laxman`s grand-father late Jagannadha Sastry Garu breathed, preached and lived Bhagwad Gita. He hails from such a family. He follows whatever is written in Bhagwad Gita. I am proud to be his wife. His humility and righteous character amazes me," she said.
Sailaja said she is glad that Laxman will be around to spend time post-retirement with family members, especially children as they used to miss him earlier.
Laxman`s uncle Baba Krishna Mohan, who first took him to a cricket camp, said he would have liked to see him continue playing.
Stating that he was surprised by Laxman`s sudden decision, Venkatapathi Raju said he would have liked Laxman to retire after playing a Test on his home-ground. The right-hander could have done that as he was picked for the two-Test series against New Zealand, one match of which is scheduled in Hyderabad.
"We expected him to play this match or Bangalore match. This is real shocker for us. We had plans for him like felicitation. But, Laxman has been like that right from the beginning. All the plans are still there but it would have been better had he continued. You feel bad but you respect his decision. Like his batting style, he has given a good flick for everybody," he said.
The comments of some commentators against Laxman that he should make way for young players were a little too harsh as the senior player had made immense contribution to the game by coming up with some superb knocks during his career, he said.
"My own feeling is that he could have performed better Laxman had his own slot for him in the batting order. Laxman was all over. He had to play with tail-enders. Sometimes, he could not play his natural game. He had to mould himself to situations. But as he himself said, it is all a part and parcel of the game," he said.


To understand the neural basis of chemotaxis requires an anatomical and functional understanding of the underlying circuit components- the individual neurons and how they interact with one another. The cellular anatomy at the first stages of odor processing is fairly well understood- odorants are detected at the periphery by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), which project to the primary olfactory processing center; the antennal lobe (AL). In the AL, ORNs make synapses with projection neurons (PN) which, in turn, send axons to the higher olfactory processing centers; the mushroom body (MB) and lateral horn (LH). During the last few years work in my lab has begun to describe the pathway underlying chemotaxis. We have identified a novel group of excitatory neurons, termed Odd neurons (so called because they express the transcription factor Odd-Skipped). The Odd neurons are an important link between higher olfactory processing centres and motor output systems and we can therefore use the Odd neurons as a starting point to trace the circuit involved in chemotaxis.

Home/Politics/Critics Blast Klaus Schwab, WEF For Trying To "Master The Future" With Global Enslavement Agenda
Critics Blast Klaus Schwab, WEF For Trying To "Master The Future" With Global Enslavement Agenda
Ethan HuffJanuary 22, 2023
(Natural News) This year's highly publicized annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) is receiving much criticism as the rest of the world looks on in horror at this grotesque display of globalism gone wild.
This year's gathering centers around head Klaus Schwab's "master the future" theme, which aims to subjugate the entire world under the heavy hand of globalist tyranny.
In 2016, Schwab unveiled his everyone will own nothing and be happy by the year 2030 speech. In 2020, we heard all about "The Great Reset." And now, the agenda is "Cooperation in a Fragmented World" post-covid, as well as solving the "cost of living crisis."
To achieve his longtime goals of a world takeover, Schwab says globalists everywhere must unite with him under a banner of centralizing everything under the sun – or as one critic put it, "centralizing power into the possession of hand-picked global elites."
All freedom and liberty must go, especially in the United States where pesky little things like free speech and the right to bear arms are impeding Schwab's plans. (Related: According to Schwab, unvaccinated people are also a threat to humanity, and must be dealt with.)
Another critic wrote that the WEF's annual meeting "acts as the go-to in-person, invite-only, closed to ideological outsiders, policy and ideas shop for the global ruling class."
WEF playing defense this year amid worldwide uprising against globalist tyranny
Some of the other key themes at this year's WEF annual meeting include "combating misinformation," promoting more "public-private partnerships," pushing more "green" politics, as well as other buzzwords such as "DEI," "resiliency," "sustainability," "health security," digitizing the "metaverse," and rolling out more "smart" technologies.
"We see the manifold political, economic and social forces creating increased fragmentation on a global and national level. To address the root causes of this erosion of trust, we need to reinforce cooperation between the government and business sectors, creating the conditions for a strong and durable recovery," Schwab said in a press release about the focus of this year's meeting.
"At the same time there must be the recognition that economic development needs to be made more resilient, more sustainable and nobody should be left behind."
Covid and everything that changed in the world with its unleashing, Schwab further added at the meeting's opening ceremonies, serve "as catalytic forces for the economic transformation" he is pushing.
"Through collective responsibility, innovation and human goodwill and ingenuity, we have the capacity to turn such challenges into opportunities," he added.
Investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel commented that Schwab's statements about mastering the future and "overcoming negative critical and confrontational attitudes" is the globalist entity's way of trying to play defense against the growing criticisms of its agenda.
The heavy push to silence free speech in order to fight "disinformation campaigns" shows that Schwab et al. are concerned that too much contradictory talk is taking place in today's political climate, especially on social media platforms like Twitter that have become the new digital public square.
It was Schwab's earlier statements about "own nothing and be happy" that first "sparked a misinformation campaign" about the WEF, according to Canada's The Globe and Mail, a pro-globalist media outlet.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., another WEF critic, noted that the WEF's annual meeting is something of an "annual pilgrimage" that prominent globalists take as allegiance to Schwab, Bill Gates, and other billionaires from whom they get their "marching orders."
"Oddly enough, it seems to me they've created every problem they are now claiming they want to solve … 'climate change,' fake 'pandemics,' 'disruptions' in the supply chain, 'energy crises,' 'cost of living crises,' 'interruptions' to travel, war and conflict, and the list goes on and on," added one critical commenter to the conversation.
"And of course, nobody does 'misinfo' better than they do. Create the problem, then create the supposed solution."

Sir William Jardine Wall Art
Sir William Jardine (1800 – 1874) was a key figure in the history of science of the Victorian era. Jardine owned a museum, the finest private museum dealing with natural history. He also owned a library in Britain and made natural history widely available. He used forty small, affordable volumes on mammals, birds, insects and fish and his Library. Yet, even today, no comprehensive biography of him exists. Jardine was a naturalist and an author and publisher. He was born in Edinburgh to Sir Alexander Jardine- he was the eldest son. The artist got his education at Edinburgh High School, and later joined the University of Edinburgh as a medical student in 1817. During this time, his interests expanded very rapidly to include natural history and geology. He married Lizars Jane Home in 1820, and just a year later, he inherited his title and also the family home near Lockerbie, a 5,000 acre estate.
Jardine pursued his interest in the natural world using an independent means and he managed to become a highly regarded botanist, entomologist and geologist. He also managed to develop particular areas of expertise in the ornithology and ichthyology fields. He was able to link with a very wide range of fellow enthusiasts around the globe, many of whom contributed specimens to his growing collection. By the time of his death, his collection comprised of thousands of specimens. He managed to earn a lot of respect among his peers and s currently his art is used to mentor many upcoming artists.

The Oklahoma Baptist men's and women's basketball teams hit the floor Thursday evening for a matchup against the Rangers of Northwestern Oklahoma State University. OBU went one and one overall the night against the Rangers as the Lady Bison secured a solid 98 – 89 win and the Bison were barely edged out in a 75-76 loss. Heading into their matchup, the Lady Bison had a difficult contest ahead.
Knowing they had a tough night ahead of them, the Lady Bison came ready to battle. After getting off to a slow start and falling behind by double digits in the second quarter, the Lady Bison stormed back in the second half. They were able to post 55 points to the Rangers 36 points, capturing the win.
In their contest, the Lady Bison had six players score in double figures. The team shot the ball efficiently, shooting an overall 50 percent from the field, 45 percent from the three-point line, and 80 percent from the free throw line.
With their win, the Lady Bison moved to 8-10 overall in the GAC standings, keeping them within striking distance of the #4 seed for the post-season.
The men's basketball team, however, just fell short against NWOSU. The game saw multiple crunch time plays including a three-pointer from senior Vladimir Nemcok; however, the Rangers came back as they were able to counter Nemcok's three-pointer with the game-winning layup.
The Bison were led by senior Chandler Rickey, who ended with 26 points, and Nemcok, who added 14 points.
The loss pushes the Bison to 6-12 in the GAC standings and makes the road to the post-season a tougher one. The Lady Bison and Bison return to action in Durant, Oklahoma Saturday, February 17 against Southeastern Oklahoma State.

Q: how to call $scope.function1 from $scope.function2 I have a controller with the two functions.function "fileHistory" will be loaded first.
and i need to same call the same function from another function success callback.
i tried this way- but i am getting error
here is my Controller code
function cBookController($scope,$http) {

    $scope.fileHistory = function() {
        $http({
            url: '/123/rest/getUploadDetails',
            method: "GET"
        })
        .success(function (data, status) {
            console.log(data);
            $scope.fileHistory = data;
        })
        .error(function (data, status) {
            alert("Error in get history details process");
        });
    }

    $scope.fileHistory();

    $scope.checkStatus = function(uploadedFileId) {
        $http({
            method: 'GET',
            url: '/123/rest/checkStatus',
        })
        .success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
                        //here i need to get the new datafrom fileHistory service.
                        $scope.fileHistory();
        })
    }
}

A: By checking in your code I see that inside the $http success callback of fileHistory function, you override your function with response data from $http

A: Your fileHistory is a function at first. But after your promise is executed you are assigning this to a data variable and overriding it.
Change following line to something else -
 //$scope.fileHistory = data; // change this line
 $scope.fileHistoryData = data;

Summit Research Network aims to make Alzheimer's a disease of the past in 20 years. You can help by volunteering for study.
A simple swab of the cheek could make Alzheimer's disease a thing of the past in 20 short years. Researchers around the country, including those at Summit Research Network in Portland, are participating in a national program called GeneMatch, which uses genetic testing to match volunteers with relevant Alzheimer's research opportunities in their local area.
One research effort that recently began enrolling participants through GeneMatch in Portland is called the Generation Program. The program is seeking individuals ages 60 to 75, who are cogitatively normal but may have an increased risk for developing Alzheimer's disease based on their genetic status.
Dr. Scott Losk, the principal investigator at Summit Research Network, explains that the idea behind the genetic testing is to "nip it in the bud. We want to find a medicine that would address diseases of the brain and change the gradual downhill slide into a flatline," he said. "It's a different model and approach."
He likens the approach to that used 40 years ago, when high cholesterol was first linked to heart disease. Today patients with high cholesterol are commonly prescribed statin medications, which has led to reduced vascular disease.
"Adult children watching their parents deal with Alzheimer's are the most motivated participants to the study," he said. "They want to understand their risks of getting Alzheimer's."
The Generation Program is the first to incorporate both genetic testing and counseling into the study screening process. Prospective participants referred to the trial will be required to learn their APOE (Apolinipoprotein E genetic risk factor) test results. Only those who learn they have one or two copies, or genetic markers, may be eligible to participate.
Getting that information begins with a swab of the cheek, which interested participants can either do through a free cheek swab kit delivered to their home or at the study site. The swab is analyzed for the APOE gene, the major genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Losk explained that the Generation 1 program is specifically for those with APOE 4, 4, which represents only three percent of the population. Generation 2 tests for APOE 2, 4 or 3, 4 which is less likely to develop.
"Everyone knows somebody with Alzheimer's disease," said Losk. "More than 5½ million Americans have Alzheimer's, and millions more have more mild memory loss.

The February 7, 2014, issue of Focus on Funds offers a full analysis of ICI's data on 2013 mutual fund and ETF flows.
Stephanie Ortbals-Tibbs, Director, ICI Media Relations: Welcome to Focus on Funds, the Investment Company Institute's weekly roundup of industry news, ICI activities, and research findings.
The full data on 2013 is in, showing mutual funds and ETFs ended the year on a high note.
Gains from soaring stock prices more than offset losses from declining bond prices and helped push total assets of funds to nearly $14 trillion—a year-over-year increase of close to 20 percent.
ICI senior economist Shelly Antoniewicz takes an in-depth look at the trends.
Shelly Antoniewicz, ICI Senior Economist: In addition to a rising stock market in 2013, fund assets were also bolstered by strong investor demand.
Combined net new cash flow of mutual funds and net share issuance of ETFs amounted to $333 billion last year.
Though still strong, last year's pace of new investment, was down somewhat from 2012, largely due to a mid-year reversal in bond fund flows.
Focusing in on the bond story, investor demand for bond funds started out 2013 at a brisk pace, very similar to the past several years, and inflows through May totaled around $110 billion.
In June, however, long-term interest rates moved up abruptly and continued to rise through the remainder of the year, in anticipation of the Federal Reserve's plans to taper its massive bond-buying program.
In response, investors moved out of bond mutual funds and ETFs in the second half of 2013 and for the year as a whole redeemed $71 billion, on net.
Meanwhile, equities had a different experience, as major stock indexes steadily climbed to new highs, equity funds received $358 billion in 2013.
While investors continued to gravitate more toward world equity funds, domestic equity funds drew 42 percent of the total new investment. In fact in 2013, domestic equity mutual funds had their first annual inflow in seven years.
Stephanie Ortbals-Tibbs: Antoniewicz adds that hybrid funds, which have been popular with investors seeking flexible investment strategies with exposure to the equity and bond markets, had record inflows of $76 billion.
That's this week in funds. See you next week.

Standpipes are typically found in buildings over 3 story's high. A standpipe is an arrangement of piping, valves and hose connections that are located in such a manner as to allow for fire hose use to extinguish a fire. Some standpipes provide only valve connections for fire department use and some provide actual fire hoses at the ready for occupant use. The ANNUAL standpipe inspection is typically included as part of your ANNUAL fire sprinkler system inspection.

José Manuel Gallegos (October 30, 1815 – April 21, 1875) was a delegate to the US Congress from the Territory of New Mexico.

Biography
Born in Abiquiú, in what is now Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, Gallegos attended parochial schools.  He studied theology at the Jesuit run College of Durango (Colegio de Durango), Republic of Mexico, graduated in 1840, and was ordained a Roman Catholic priest.  He served as member of the legislative assembly of what was then the territory of Santa Fe de Nuevo México, Republic of Mexico, from 1843 to 1846.  He served as member of the first territorial council of the Territory of New Mexico in 1851.

Gallegos was elected as a Democrat to the Thirty-third US Congress (March 4, 1853 – March 3, 1855). He was elected to a second term but served only briefly, March 4, 1855, to July 23, 1856, as he was succeeded by Miguel Antonio Otero (I), who had successfully contested Gallegos's election.  He served as member of the territorial house of representatives 1860-1862 and served as speaker. He was an unsuccessful candidate for election in 1862 to the Thirty-eighth US Congress.

In 1862, Gallegos was made a prisoner of war by the Texas Confederate troops when they came through Santa Fe. He served as Treasurer of the New Mexico Territory in 1865 and 1866, and as Superintendent of Indian Affairs in New Mexico in 1868.

Gallegos was elected as a Democrat to the Forty-second US Congress (March 4, 1871 – March 3, 1873). At the time he did not speak English and asked to be permitted a translator on the Floor of the House of Representatives, this request was denied. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1872 to the Forty-third US Congress.  He died in Santa Fe, and was interred there in the Catholic Cemetery.

Louisiana ( i/luːˌiːziˈænə/ or i/ˌluːziˈænə/; French: État de Louisiane, [lwizjan]; Louisiana Creole: Léta de la Lwizyàn) is a state located in the southern region of the United States. Louisiana is the 31st most extensive and the 25th most populous of the 50 United States. Its capital is Baton Rouge and largest city is New Orleans. Louisiana is the only state in the U.S. with political subdivisions termed parishes, which are the local government's equivalent to counties. The largest parish by population is East Baton Rouge Parish, and the largest by land area is Plaquemines. Louisiana is bordered by Arkansas to the north, Mississippi to the east, Texas to the west, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south.
Much of the state's lands were formed from sediment washed down the Mississippi River, leaving enormous deltas and vast areas of coastal marsh and swamp. These contain a rich southern biota; typical examples include birds such as ibis and egrets. There are also many species of tree frogs, and fish such as sturgeon and paddlefish. In more elevated areas, fire is a natural process in the landscape, and has produced extensive areas of longleaf pine forest and wet savannas. These support an exceptionally large number of plant species, including many species of orchids and carnivorous plants.

The Louisiana was a steamboat that sank in Lake Michigan off the coast of Washington, Door County, Wisconsin, United States, during the Great Lakes Storm of 1913. In 1992 the shipwreck site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The Louisiana was constructed in Marine City, Michigan in 1887, while her engine was built at the Dry Dock Complex in Detroit, Michigan.
On November 2, 1913, the Louisiana departed from Lorain, Ohio to deliver a load of coal to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After completing her stop in Milwaukee, the Louisiana made way for Escanaba, Michigan to pick up a load of iron ore. In the early morning hours of November 8, the ship passed through Porte des Morts. Upon reaching the strait, she was greeted by a severe snowstorm. The captain attempted to take refuge at Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin, but the heavy seas and howling wind proved too strong for the ship's anchors to hold her in place, and she was run aground.
Despite the situation on board the Louisiana, the crew opted to remain aboard the vessel rather than taking the one small lifeboat they had out to the raging seas. However, a fire broke out in the cargo hold later in the morning and the crew members were left with no choice. A rescue ship had been deployed from Plum Island, but the breaking waves were too powerful for the ship to be able to reach the crew. In the end, the crew was able to make it to shore.

Louisiana is a city in Pike County, Missouri, United States. The population was 3,300 at the 2010 census. Louisiana is located in northeast Missouri, on the Mississippi River south of Hannibal.
Louisiana is at the junction of State Route 79 and US 54. The former follows the Mississippi River for most of its length from Hannibal to St. Charles County. The latter enters Louisiana from Illinois via the Champ Clark Bridge, named for a former US Speaker of the House from nearby Bowling Green.
The town was founded in 1817 by John Walter Basye and named after his daughter, Louisiana Basye. Other notable early residents were Samuel Caldwell and Joel Shaw, both of whom purchased land from Bayse in 1818. All three properties became the original town plat and comprised mainly riverfront properties. Many of the towns residents trace their ancestry to these town pioneers. Louisiana proved to be a profitable shipping point on the Mississippi River, and that wealth led to numerous substantial antebellum homes. Many of those still remain and, along with the Georgia Street Historic District in downtown Louisiana, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has noted that the town has "the most intact Victorian Streetscape in the state of Missouri."

I'm scared to death to even move. To move.
Green strobes still flickering in my head.
I cling to everything you said.
I finally found your hand
But there's only time for you to walk me out.
We'll pray to God and brush our tracks

If you can't find an answer to your question in the list of frequently asked questions below, please call us at 1.844.734.7233.
What is the cost of a home automation system?
The least expensive home automation system is part of a wireless home security system. Typically, QEI Security & Technology offers free basic equipment, installation and a few devices. Monthly monitoring costs are $49.99 per month and include a service warranty for the term of your contract. A more robust home automation system usually costs more than $1,000 and a monthly subscription fee is only required if they system will be controlled outside of the home. Contact us for a free consultation and to get special offers.
Does the home automation system use wireless internet?
Most smart home devices use z-wave technology – a low-frequency radio signal that gains strength as more devices are connected. If you have a z-wave garage door control or security cameras, wireless internet is required because of these devices' additional capabilities. These devices will also have to be re-learned into the system if you change your router or its password.
Can my garage door opener connect to the app?
You will need a z-wave enabled module that is compatible with the app. This module is connected to the existing garage door opener and is usually compatible with all models sold after 1998. You will need to have both a garage door opener and the z-wave module for the device to properly function with the app. You will still be able to control your garage door using the remote or button that you previously used.
If I have two garage doors, do I need two garage door controllers?
Yes, you will need to purchase a garage door controller for each garage door and opener.
Will my garage door stop if it detects something in the way?
Yes. It will also not automatically close. For safety, the home automation system will prompt you to push a button to close or open the garage door.
Will an electrician install the lighting control options?
Yes, a licensed electrician from Quality Electric will install all programmable light switches. Wiring is not part of installation of the z-wave light bulb and lamp module, so a QEI technician can handle these installations.
Does QEI do background checks on all employees?
Yes, we require a clean background check and a clean three-year driving record.
Is QEI Security & Technology licensed, bonded and insured?
Yes, QEI Security & Technology is bonded, insured and licensed in South Carolina (BAC 13610) and North Carolina ((BPN) – 8764P10).
Are you an authorized dealer or do you use subcontractors?
No, we are not a dealer. When you sign a contract with QEI Security & Technology, it will not be sold to another company. We also do not use subcontractors. All QEI Security & Technology staff members are full-time employees.
Does the home automation system work when the power is out?
If your system is part of a wireless security system, then yes, your backup battery will keep the system connected for 10-12 hours. Once the battery backup is dead, your system is no longer connected to the monitoring station. Once the power returns, your battery will begin to charge. We do not recommend relying on the app if the power is out. It is best to control your system through the touchscreen control panel.


Republicans have several good candidates to be their nominee for governor this year, including businessmen Matt Jacobson, Les Otten and Bruce Poliquin, as well as educator Bill Beardsley and politicians Paul LePage and Peter Mills. Each is appealing in his way, and all are preferable to the other parties' alternatives.
My favorite is Steve Abbott because I believe that he can win the general election and be a great Maine governor. That's because Abbott is smart, principled, politically savvy, a hard worker and a leader.
Abbott is deeply rooted in Maine. He grew up in Orono, attend to Harvard University, where he majored in history, and got his law degree from the University of Maine. Along the way, he led his high school athletic teams to undefeated seasons and was elected captain of the Harvard football team.
After law school, Abbott worked at a firm for a while but left the practice of law to pursue his interest in politics. He was U.S. Sen. Susan Collins' chief of staff for 13 years until he resigned to run for governor in January.
Working for Collins, Abbott managed a statewide organization that raised significant amounts of money and won several highly competitive, nationally targeted races against formidable opponents. Then, with Abbott's help, the Collins organization served the people of Maine in many ways, including by helping constituents with whatever problems they might have had with the federal government.
He was a trusted adviser to one of the most admired and pivotal members of the Senate. In that role, he helped Collins navigate a sensible and principled course through some of the challenging issues of our time.
Abbott understands the serious challenges that Maine faces, has a long-term plan to address them, the strength of character to pursue what needs to be done even though it may be painful in the short run, and an easy-going manner that will help us through the unavoidable, difficult times ahead.
His plan begins with reshaping and redirecting our state government. It is too big and too expensive relative to our private sector. It is geared toward providing people with benefits instead of jobs. We need to strike a more healthy balance between public and private. Abbott will conduct a comprehensive audit to identify unproductive government programs for elimination, like the failed Dirigo Health Plan. He wants a line-item veto so that he can take responsibility for making the cuts himself.
Abbott wants to honestly confront problems few have been willing to talk about – like our state pension system, which is underfunded by several billion dollars. He would convert it to a 401k-style plan in phases. Employees close to retirement could stick with the current plan. Younger employees would have the choice of converting to the new plan or sticking with the old one at the risk that it will not have adequate resources to fund their benefits. New hires would get the new plan.
He recognizes that our infrastructure, bridges and roads, have been woefully neglected for years. Abbott will repair and rebuild that infrastructure and pave the way for people to prosper from their own labor.
Abbott has the energy and the dedication that it will take to solve these problems. He has been traveling the state in order to bring his message directly to the people who will make the decision in June and November.
The Democrats have created and presided over a government that is bloated with people and programs and that exerts a drag on the private sector. Maine has only been able to avoid a crisis because of infusions of federal money. Several of those who are vying to be the Democratic nominee are committed to more of the same.
In contrast, Abbott can lead our state to a brighter future.

Notice of Expansion of the Lisbon Valley Known Potash Leasing Area, Utah
Potash is a trade name for potassium bearing minerals used mainly for fertilizer. Potash and certain other non-energy solid minerals found on Federal lands may be leased for development in either of two ways: (1) If it is unknown whether an area contains valuable potash deposits, an interested party may obtain a prospecting permit, which grants it the exclusive right to explore for potash, and, if a valuable deposit is found, that party may qualify for a noncompetitive lease; or (2) If the BLM has access to information which shows that valuable deposits of potash exist in an area, the area may be classified and designated a Known Potash Leasing Area (KPLA), where prospecting permits may not be issued, and any leasing must be done on a competitive basis. In 1960, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) established the Lisbon Valley KPLA, based on mineral land classification standards established in 1957. In 1983, under Secretarial Order 3087, the authority to designate KPLAs was transferred to the BLM. Recent advances in drilling technology have provided the capability to extract deep potash deposits using dissolution. Based on this new technology, the BLM approved new mineral land classification standards for the Utah portion of the Paradox Basin geologic province, which includes Lisbon Valley in 2009. The BLM Utah State Office used the new standards and the analysis of available drilling information to determine that the Lisbon Valley KPLA should be expanded to include deep solution-mineable potash deposits. Additional information regarding this KPLA expansion, including maps and the Potash Master Title Plats, are available in the Public Room of the BLM Utah State Office and at the following Web site: https://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/prog/more/Land_Records.html. The lands included in the Lisbon Valley KPLA expansion, located in San Juan County, Utah, are described as follows:
