I frame code to frame hosted image from elsewhere -- in this case the PDF is loaded at ExpertClick in a different news release.

John:

You can load those lines of code anywhere in your news release -- above or below text, and this allows you to put text above the image.

Here's the code:

That code will create the Iframe box you see here at this news release:  http://www.expertclick.com/Newsreleasewire/35864

...and then because is it PNG, stored as a PDF, the viewer can open and print and it will maintain all quality.

John:  if you log into your account, you can cut and paste this html directly from the last news release, for I stored two releases in your account; first to upload the PDF, second and last to host the HTML.  (Don't worry they are dated for the year 2099, so they will not be shown for like 80 years)

Also attached is a 375 pixel wide version if you want to load it the old way.

Yes, this is over the top, but is something I'm working on.

FOOD TO GO “TARGETS” KIDS

AT RISK OF HUNGER WITH HEALTHY FOODS



Food Bank For NYC & Union Settlement Assoc. Launch ‘Open Market’ BackPack Program to Feed Kids at Risk of Hunger on Weekends and Holidays While Teaching Good Nutrition



Unique Program Model is Supported by a Grant from Target



More than 60 children (aged 6 -12) will “shop” for their supper — and their breakfast and lunch — assisted by a dozen Target volunteers, at the launch the Food Bank For New York City’s “Open Market” BackPack Program, in partnership with Union Settlement Association. The program —the only one of its kind in the U.S. to feature the Open Market format — is designed to alleviate hunger among low-income children throughout New York City, and provides bags filled with healthy ‘take home’ food items to make balanced nutritious meals when other resources are not available, such as on weekends and holidays, and to educate kids about healthy food choices on Wednesday, October 27, 4pm, at Union Settlement Foundation, 237 East 104th Street (between 2nd and 3rd Avenues), Manhattan.



Youngsters will shop for favorite foods up and down the Open Market aisles which are labeled — protein, dairy, fruit, vegetable, grain — to assist with nutrition education. Kids will also try their hand at cooking up a favorite recipe and participate in a physical activity.



More than one out of every four children in NYC (ages 17 and younger) lives below the poverty level. In East Harlem, 47% of children live in poverty. One in five New York City children relies on emergency food programs such as a soup kitchen or food pantry.



WHAT: Launch of “Open Market” BackPack Program to Address Childhood Hunger at Child’s Place of Residence.

Are Countries Making the Grade? A 2009-2010 Nuclear Nonproliferation & Disarmament Report Card

Are Countries Making the Grade? A 2009-2010 Nuclear Nonproliferation & Disarmament Report Card

Press Conference and Report Release

Wednesday, October 27, 2010, 9:00 am - 10:30 am

World leaders including President Barack Obama have devoted significant attention and political capital to advancing progress on nuclear nonproliferation, disarmament, and nuclear security. However, progress is often difficult to measure, in part because of differing perceptions of the threat posed by nuclear weapons and what constitutes the nuclear nonproliferation "mainstream."

On October 27, the Arms Control Association will present the findings of a new study, Assessing Progress on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Disarmament: 2009-2010 Report Card. This 65-page research report assesses the performance of 11 key states in 10 universally-recognized categories of nonproliferation, disarmament and nuclear security:

• nuclear testing;

• the production of fissile material for weapons;

• nuclear weapons alert levels;

• reducing nuclear forces;

• nuclear weapons use policy;

• nuclear-weapon-free zones;

• international safeguards;

• controls on nuclear weapons-related exports;

• measures to improve the security of nuclear material and facilities; and

• measures to prevent illicit nuclear trafficking and nuclear terrorism.

The report grades the states on an A through F scale and describes in detail the basis for each grade. The Report Card provides country-by-country assessments for China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, India, Israel, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, and Syria, and developments elsewhere.

ACA executive director Daryl Kimball and nonproliferation analyst Peter Crail will present and discuss the Report Card, and George Perkovich, vice-president for studies and director of the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace will comment on the report and its implications for policy makers. Copies of the report will be available at the event.

The Arms Control Association (ACA) is an independent, membership-based organization dedicated to providing information and practical policy solutions to address the dangers posed by the world's most dangerous weapons.
