Australia-China Council
Demystifying Chinese Investment in Australia Online
Shanghai, China - 10 April 2014: The Hon Andrew Robb AO MP, Minister for Trade and Investment, launched Australia's first interactive online resource examining Chinese investment in Australia, developed by KPMG and University of Sydney with the support of the Australia-China Council. The launch was a part of the Australia Week in China held in Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Beijing this week.
The Demystifying Chinese Investment in Australia website was developed by KPMG and University of Sydney Business School and China Studies Centre, with funding from the Australia-China Council. The online platform is based on the partnership's expanding business report series by the same name, authored by Doug Ferguson (Partner in Charge, Asia Business Group, KPMG Australia) and Professor Hans Hendrischke (University of Sydney Business School).
A funding grant from the Australia-China Council has enabled the reports' data to be better visualised and accessed, initially through the internet. In the next stage of development, an app will be developed, providing a portable version of the animation independent of an internet connection. The project is one of the new flagship initiatives of the Australia-China Council under its New Strategic Plan (2014-18), and is a direct contribution to the Government's Economic Diplomacy agenda.
New Strategic Directions for the Australia-China Council
The Australia-China Council is pleased to release its new four-year Strategic Plan 2014-2018. The Plan — a result of extensive consultations and research — sets the directions for ACC grant-making, policy and advocacy activities for the next four years. It responds to the rapidly-growing bilateral relationship agenda and supports the Government's focus on academic and professional mobility and economic diplomacy.
The New Strategic Plan was endorsed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Hon Julie Bishop MP.

It is one of the most extensive showcases of the Australian indigenous art to be presented in China. The exhibition is being displayed across eight museums in China in 2013 and 2014.
The collection is presented in the context of an indigenous cultural space acknowledging Western Desert people and their world. Genealogies, narrative text, photographs taken by indigenous school children, a 20 channel digital immersive environmental soundscape, and data projected and multiple screen installations are important parts of the exhibition.
The finest artworks from the Warburton Collection are displayed in a powerful, communicative installation format to create significant inter-cultural occasions for Chinese and international visitors. Four art glass installations and eight large textiles have been added to the 2013 tour and it is supported by a new, fully translated colour catalogue and education program.

China Country Strategy
27 August 2013
On 27 August, Prime Minister Rudd launched the Australia in the Asian Century China Country Strategy.
The Strategy outlines how Australia will build stronger and more comprehensive relationship with China across governments, economy and communities.

The Australia-China Council (ACC) Board, involved in the development of the document, today endorsed the Strategy.
ACC Chair, the Hon Warwick Smith AM said:
"The Strategy is a new blueprint for strengthening Australia's network of partnerships with China across business, government and community sectors. It identifies significant opportunities for Australia to strengthen our existing links with China and explore new frontiers of engagement, for example in business relations, innovation, professional and academic mobility, China capabilities and artistic collaborations. ACC has been in the forefront of the bilateral engagement in these areas for 35 years. The Strategy will inform new priorities for the Council to enable Australian businesses, education and cultural organisations to get ahead and succeed in China".

Hopefully, as my buddy Chris tweeted Tuesday, St. Peter is not a quarterback.
If so, the pearly gates were destroyed — crunched and shattered into tiny pieces — Monday night when David "Deacon" Jones crashed through them and arrived in football heaven.
And St. Peter — God bless him — is probably still running for his afterlife.
A moment of silence, please:
Deacon Jones, the greatest athlete in Orlando sports history, has gone to That Big Collapsing Pocket in the Sky.
"There's no question Deacon is the greatest athlete we've ever had," said Bill Buchalter, the Sentinel's legendary former high school editor and greater Orlando's resident sports historian. "We've had some good NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball players, but Deacon was an icon among icons. He stood the test of time. He was the LeBron of the football field."
He was bigger, faster, stronger than everyone else.
And meaner.
Meaner than a drunken rattlesnake.
For all you youngsters out there, ask your father or grandfather about Deacon Jones and what he used to do to quarterbacks. He used to hate them like you and I hate the IRS. He used to hate them like kids hate creamed spinach. Actually, he hated them so much, he tried to turn them into creamed spinach.
He once clocked Atlanta quarterback Bob Berry so violently with a helmet-to-helmet hit that Berry's helmet popped off and skidded across the scorched earth.
Said Jones after the game: "If the helmet doesn't go, his head does."
Can you imagine the outcry, fines and suspensions Jones would endure today if he played with the same rage and ferocity as he did back in the 1960s? There were those who believe he hated quarterbacks so much because they symbolized the racial injustice and white supremacy he endured as a black kid growing up in the segregated South. He attended Eatonville's Hungerford High School in the days before integration when black men literally had to take a back seat to white men.
He had his scholarship revoked at South Carolina State after he took part in a civil rights march. He personally experienced angry white men in hoods and that transformed him into an angry black man in a helmet.
Back in Deacon's heyday in the 1960s, the quarterback position in the NFL was lily-white and there would be no black starter at the position for more than a decade after he entered the league. Jones took his wrath out on the fair-skinned quarterbacks of the league.
"Can you imagine, all of a sudden having the opportunity to legally beat the crap out of somebody who has mistreated you all these years?" his wife, Elizabeth, once told the Orlando Sentinel.
Just ask the great white quarterbacks of his day and they will tell you.
"Running an offense against Deacon Jones was like playing against the shark in 'Jaws,'" Johnny Unitas once said.
"I owe everything to Deacon Jones," Fran Tarkenton said after his Hall-of-Fame career was over. "If it wouldn't have been for him and his lightning sack rush, I wouldn't be known as the greatest scrambling quarterback in history."
They called Deacon Jones the "Secretary of Defense," but he was so much more than just a secretary. In fact, he was the commander and chief of the L.A. Rams' famed "Fearsome Foursome" and the founding father of the quarterback sack. He not only invented the term "sacking the quarterback"; he invented the relentless mindset behind the term. Rushing the quarterback for Jones was sort of like hunting rabbits. When you're done, you just put your bloody victims in a game bag and go home.

Initial Necklaces – India Hicks
Today I went to the Gansevort Park hotel to preview the jewelry collection of some exhibitors, who will be showing at the JCK trade show in Las Vegas in June. I enjoyed some of the jewelry collections a lot. Especially the ones that were very original and beautiful at the same time. One of the designers who caught my eye was India Hicks. Check out her initial letter necklaces – so innovative.
Check out the Initial Letter Necklaces by Lucid New York. They have been really great sellers for a while now. People just love their size, the fact that you're not walking around with a big M on your neck. Or an A, or J. You know what I mean…

A wise woman once said that a great shampoo is the foundation of great hair. Take her sage advice seriously, and stock up on this apothecary line's zesty formula. Originally a hotel exclusive, C.O. Bigelow released it to the public after countless fans called to sing its praises. Infused with refreshing lavender and peppermint scents, it leaves hair shiny and clean every time you lather up.
This is a very small bottle. My husband and daughter love it, but I can't afford to keep them in stock! It is a very nice shampoo with great fragrance.
Love this! Great size for the price. Very relaxing but clean scent. Lathered great! And left my hair feeling clean and untangled
I think it would smell better if it was just peppermint, but it's ok. You need A LOT to get a good lather on your whole head. I wouldn't purchase it again
I wish I'd read the other reviews first because I was also surprised by how small the bottle is for the price. The fragrance is definitely lovely and refreshing, which is a major plus. I don't think it makes my hair feel any better than much cheaper brands, though.
LOVE the smell and it works very well as a clarifying shampoo without drying out my hair. Only con is the small size but since I'll alternate with a sulfate-free shampoo, it will last me a long time.
I ordered this because I love lavender. When I received it I was surprised how small it was, so I referred back to the website and realized they are 8 oz bottles, which is about a third of the normal size of a shampoo/conditioner bottle. Next time I will pay more attention to the size. Anyway, I used it once and I wasn't very impressed. Both the shampoo and conditioner feel really cheap, like hotel products. Then I read the reviews and it actually is a hotel product! I have fine straight hair and I found the shampoo to be really harsh/stripping and the conditioner was way to light. The only thing this product has going for it is the smell. I gave it to my husband and he liked it, but he doesn't have barely any hair.
This shampoo is refreshing and smells like a spa! It rinses easily and has a matching conditioner that smells great as well.
i absolutely love this product. The smell is great first thing in the morning. I just wish it was a little bigger.
This shampoo smells great & leaves my hair feeling soft & smooth. However, I was incredibly disappointed at the size of the "full size" product. Pricey for such a small amount.
Uplifting blend of mint and relaxing aroma of lavender. The scent is definitely with you. It doesn't lather up thick like most shampoo, but the lather component I know is a harsh chemical anyway. This line has never let me down.

Why HDR
Real life scenes often have a wide range of light intensity, which cannot be captured by a camera. In a photo of such a scene the bright areas look washed out and everything in shadows is pictured as a black spot with no details. The HDR technique allows you to capture details in bright and dark areas and have them merged in a single photo.
HDR photography is widely adopted by professional photographers. Wouldn't it be nice to have an HDR in mobile phones?
The problem is that HDR requires taking several differently exposed images in series, which must be precisely aligned and then fused. In order to be usable for real life scenes, the HDR feature should include moving object detection and hand shake compensation to avoid or minimize the ghosting in the final image. That requires a lot of computational resources and makes a challenge even for professional desktop HDR software.
Almalence has brought its expertise in professional HDR software to mobile phones. Our HDR fusion algorithms compensate hand shaking and detect moving objects in the scene, suppressing ghosting artifacts. At the same time, the algorithms are quick enough to provide comfortable processing time on mobile devices.

● Lomos and Vintage: more subtle retro effects
● Comic and Sketch: to express yourself, half tone, B&W, printed comics, new style, mix and match
● Art: sometimes you just want to create a piece of art with a tap
● Sci-Fi: see it to believe it
● Computer: and finally, for every geek out there, this is unmissable: old computer monitors
Many of the effects can be boosted by applying a superb "out of focus"/"depth of field" filter, and, as usual, it's all real time.

- Try the Software Zoom option in the settings, this might fix the problem.

● EXIF and XMP sidecar metadata support.
● Self timer for delayed shooting.
● Autofocus, macro, touch-to-focus*** and infinity focus modes, plus a focus lock switch (AF-L).

So after your DSLR, you will never miss a photo opportunity again, being able to capture it with the closer sensation to your DSLR as possible.

Pro HDR Camera
Full functionality has been verified on the following phones:
* HTC: Thunderbolt, EVO 4G, MyTouch 4G, G2, Incredible, Desire, Legend, Bravo
* Motorola: Droid, Droid 2, Droid X
* Samsung: Galaxy S, Epic 4G, Galaxy Nexus
Here are a few professional reviews of our iPhone app Pro HDR:
"If you ever take photos using your iPhone, this app is a must-have." - Gizmodo
"Pro HDR leaps ahead of the pack... Even if you're not into HDR photography, this is one to check out." - TUAW
"Picture Perfection: Pro HDR automatically aligns and blends the images, giving you a perfectly exposed, amazing image that rivals a high-end point-and-shoot camera" - NBC Los Angeles
Thanks to Pro HDR Camera, you no longer have to choose between a blown-out sky or a hopelessly dark foreground. Bringing automatic high dynamic range photography to your Android phone for the first time ever, Pro HDR captures an image exposed for the highlights and another exposed for the shadows. It then aligns and merges the images, giving you a gorgeous HDR image up to 8 megapixels like nothing you've ever seen from such a tiny device.
Unlike fake HDR apps that merely take a single photo and reprocess it (without actually adding any new detail), Pro HDR massively extends the dynamic range of your camera and produces beautiful results that you have to see to believe. We provide a fully automatic mode, and an assisted Manual mode for those times when you wish to choose your exact exposures. Finally, you can take stunning high-res photos of all those scenes that are just too contrasty to capture in a single picture.
Not only will seasoned photographers instantly fall in love with Pro HDR, one look at our example images should convince anyone that Pro HDR represents a new era in mobile photography.
Check out our gallery here: http://www.eyeapps.com/Gallery.html
Pro HDR Camera for Android comes with these incredibly useful features:
• Automatic in-app HDR capture, where all you have to do is tap to capture
• Manual in-app photo capture, where you get to choose the exposure of each image in your HDR
• 3 Image Capture speeds to take pictures nearly instantly on phones that support it, while still compatible with older phones.
• Proprietary image alignment algorithm that precisely aligns full-size images in seconds
• Sophisticated image blending creates one beautiful output image nearly instantly
• Live-updating image adjustment sliders to perfect your HDR:
Choose the perfect brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, and tint, or let Pro HDR automatically maximize image quality.
• Take pictures using hardware buttons (volume up/down or the shutter button if your phone has one)
• Silent capture - mute your shutter sounds for quiet capture
* Camera ZOOM
* Front Camera!
• Fullscreen image preview in portrait and landscape orientation
• Save HDR images at the full resolution of your camera.
• Efficient background processing that renders your HDRs while you keep on shooting
• Built-in HDR gallery view to peruse, share, and re-edit your HDRs
• Share your HDRs with the world with e-mail, and social networks.
• Google+ Instant Upload. Save to DCIM folder to enable!
IMPORTANT: Pro HDR Camera requires Android 2.2 or later. Pro HDR Camera works on Motorola, HTC and Samsung devices.
The exposure functions on LG phones and the Nexus S seem to be broken, so HDR functionality will likely not work (though the rest of the features will). The Nexus S doesn't truly adjust the exposure, but seems to darken or brighten the image in software.
Camera ZOOM

Now you can easily super-zoom (1x to 30x zoom) using your Android device. Just reverse-pinch/pinch to zoom in or out, use the special buttons and easily take a great photo of the zoomed picture.

I've written previously about my genealogy web site. The site uses PhpGedView, an open source application, to manage the server side genealogy content.
PhpGedView, like other CMSs, has a user interface that supports data entry; however, in the case of genealogical data, entering data online is very tedious when there are more than a few updates to apply. Until recently, I did the data entry and updating locally using a commercial application called Family Tree Maker. I then exported the updated information to a GEDCOM file and uploaded the file to PhpGedView.
This procedure worked well for me until my recent acquisition of a new desktop PC running Windows Vista. It was no big surprise to find out that my ancient version of Family Tree Maker was not compatible with Vista and I needed to either update it or find an alternative way to do my local genealogy content management.
It was a dark and stormy night many years ago...and a small boy gazed in wonderment at the eerie glow of the burning slag dumps along the banks of the heavily polluted Monongahela River as it flowed Northward towards its terminus at the then "Steel Capital of the World." As he pondered the future, little did he realize that he would eventually become a small cog in the machinery of onrushing technology....
Theme from Ken Burns' The Civil War
George Washington Gibson was my Great-Grandfather and, among other things, a Civil War veteran. He enlisted in Captain McBride's Company of the 79th PA Volunteer Infantry at Monongahela City, PA on September 7, 1861 for "three years or the duration of the war."
Captain McBride's Company later became Company D, 79th Pennsylvania Infantry.
The regiment was formed in Lancaster County, PA. Company D was the only company in the 79th Pennsylvania Infantry recruited in Washington County, PA. All other companies were originally made up of men from Lancaster County.
The records show George was 20 years old at the time; however, there is some uncertainty as to his exact age since the family Bible recording his birth was destroyed during a flood.
On of 23 August 2008, the contents of this page was moved to HR's Genealogy Portal which contains much more detailed information about our genealogy. The portal contains a number of different views of the GEDCOM file content, has the ability to search for individuals and families, and can generate a number of genealogy charts and reports.

Collaborations with the Springfield and Brockton Public Schools for mathematics advancement.
Through a Massachusetts
Math and Science Partnership grant, the Springfield Public School system
is collaborating with Lesley University to implement a systemic change
program for all grade 5 - 8 middle school teachers of mathematics. The
project builds upon seven successful years of standards-based
mathematics professional development in Springfield in conjunction with a
former MMSP and a US-DOE Teachers for a Competitive Tomorrow grant.
Throughout this project, Lesley University will be offering nine
graduate level mathematics courses in the city of Springfield.Students
whose teachers participated in the partnership in prior years are
showing improved mathematics scores four years after they were in
classes with teachers who completed the math content courses. This
sustained student achievement over time is statistically significant and
testifies to the quality of the partnership and success of the
participating teachers to impart what they learned in their math content
courses to their students. In response to Springfield highlighting the
needs of English Acquisition Learners, Lesley has made a commitment to
incorporating strategies for teaching students who are non-native
English speakers in all its courses and programs.
often STEM is divided into STE and M. This partnership, funded through a
Massachusetts Math and Science Partnership grant, will bring
mathematics in as an integral and visible component of science,
technology, and engineering. This program is designed to focus on the
mathematics of science in a compelling, synergistic program comprised of
inquiry science laboratories and problem solving mathematics.Participating
middle school and elementary school teachers will engage in working
through the necessary mathematics as they investigate particular
disciplines of inquiry-based science with faculty from the Science and
Mathematics disciplines in the Divisions of STEM and Natural Science and
Mathematics at Lesley University. Program offerings will include a
variety of graduate level mathematics of science courses.

Realizing that customers appreciated and relied on the CSP for planning their maintenance, and realizing that having a specific SP to recommend to customers that want to maintain the most stable environment and do not plan on moving up to a new SP before moving to a new TL, the author would recommend using the SP that roughly would be delivered in the same time frame as the CSP. The author would recommend planning around SP3.

|May 11-12, 2011
|29th SUERF Colloquium "New Paradigms in Money and Finance"
|Brussels, National Bank of Belgium, Belgium
|The global banking and financial crisis 2007-2010, the factors that led up to it, and the way that governments and central banks have responded, have forced a re-think of many of the dominant paradigms that have governed the analysis of money and finance. Some of these are fundamental and might produce a new set of paradigms concerning monetary policy, government and central bank responses to crises, crisis management procedures, the theory of banking, the theory of financial markets, the role of derivatives and other risk-shifting instruments, incentive structures, and the strategy and conduct of financial regulation and supervision. Is it warranted that new paradigms are required? In order to get well documented answers to this important question, the SUERF Council of Management has decided to invite researchers at universities, central banks, private financial institutions and international organizations to submit papers for discussion at the 29th SUERF Colloquium ĺŇNew Paradigms in Money and Finance?ĺÓ in Brussels.

Recent reviews:
December 24, 2013 - How could you not LOVE a travel mug for your coffee that also lets everybody know you love your rescued cat?!?! It's PUURFECT!!!
December 17, 2013 - I was really looking forward to receiving this cup. It is very cute; but when I drink from it, it my coffee escapes out around the lid and runs down the cup. I have made certain that the like is on tightly.
November 16, 2013 - Very cute mug. It does leak now, after a few months of using it. You have to make sure that the lip of the cup and the lid are both totally dry before putting the lid on, otherwise you will get leaks every time (because the lid won't 'seal' properly, I guess). But now it is also leaking from the bottom, I believe. The little silicone stopper in the bottom has come loose or something...and the silicone lid does stain pretty easily. I think it's more the style of cup than the quality of the actual product that I'm having issues with.
July 11, 2013 - Love the look, the silicone lid leaks when the coffee heats up the cup. So I drink iced coffee out of it...
July 11, 2013 - I love the cup but am afraid to use it because it's so heavy & very breakable! Also, don't want to put coffee in it as it will stain the pure white lid. So It sits beautifully on my desk....

The Colors of the Rainbow
Known as one of the most spectacular light shows on Earth, the rainbow displays seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Made of all the colors of the visible spectrum, or white light, the colors of the rainbow appear when white light is bent through a prism. Various cultures throughout the world view the rainbow with different symbolism. In religion and art, the rainbow often symbolizes God's promise of mercy to mankind after the Deluge (Gen. 9.13). The Greeks and Romans viewed the rainbow as the sign of Iris, messenger of the gods, and the Inca and other Native Americans regarded it as a gift from the sun-god. And, of course, there are the fairy tales that tell us there is a pot of gold at the end of each rainbow!
From the NYC II Collection. Gemstones will vary in color or patterns. Please allow for these natural variations. All weights pertaining to diamond weights are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or 18K gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.

Mayor Pro Tem Bill Baker made the announcement Wednesday evening on Freeman's behalf during a City Council work session about the budget. Baker said Freeman, 61, will confirm his resignation in writing today and that the City Council will hold a special meeting Friday to accept it.
"He had been telling me all along that he hoped to overcome his health problems," Baker said. "His intent was to finish his term."
Multi-term councilman Baker was appointed by the council to be mayor pro tem. As mayor pro tem he presides over meetings in the mayor's absence.
Freeman was elected in November.
Reached by phone Wednesday evening Freeman said he decided to step down because he received an unexpected diagnosis during a doctor's visit this week. He declined to provide specific information about his medical condition, but said doctors have told him to stay home.
"I'm trying to do what the doctor says for a change," Freeman said. "It's going to take me a while to get over this, if at all."
Freeman has been receiving specialized medical care to manage blood clots since February when he had ankle surgery. The illness has caused Freeman to miss at least six City Council meetings, but he continued to work from home and make office visits during regular working hours.
"Even when he wasn't feeling well and should have been at home, he would be in the office," Baker said.
Though Freeman was unable to attend the council's regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, he had presided over a meeting as recently as two weeks ago.
At that time the mayor said he would be staying in office, despite concerns about his health, so Wednesday's announcement caught some off guard.
"I hate that he had to do that," said Councilman Ben Keller, adding that he was surprised to learn the mayor is resigning. "His health and his life are more important than trying to be mayor."
Baker said the council will act quickly to name a new mayor, adding that the council may be able select someone for the job during the Friday meeting.
According to Alabama law,the council has 60 days to appoint someone to fill the vacancy. If the council waits longer than 60 days the members may make recommendations to the governor for someone to fill the position.
Baker said the council will either select someone within its own ranks, but it can also select any Piedmont resident.
Council members discussed the resignation for less than ten minutes at the start of the work session. For two hours after the announcement members discussed aspects of the city's 2014 budget, reviewing each department's budget with employees.
The fiscal year began Tuesday, but the council has not voted on the budget because they were waiting to review it in detail. The council will vote on the budget later this month at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

SOURCE Office of Congressman Chaka Fattah
Fattah will share the award with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and will be recognized next month in Sydney
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA) will be honored next month with the "Pioneer in Healthcare Policy Award," by the Brain Mapping Foundation and the Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics (SBMT). The recipients of the annual award-presented to lawmakers whose visionary work has helped successfully advance science, technology, education, and medicine-were announced this morning. Fattah was recognized for creating an inter-agency collaboration around neuroscience through the Fattah Neuroscience Initiative, and successfully pushing for increased funding to support brain research in the United States.
"It is a high honor to be recognized by an international community, and especially to share this award with Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who is leading Australia's efforts to fight brain disease. We know so little about the human brain, but so many around the globe are inflicted by brain disease, and our response requires a global effort," Congressman Fattah said. "More than anything this honor signifies that our efforts to fight brain disease by funding research, pooling resources, and launching innovative new partnerships are being seen and heard-and most importantly, are engendering real progress."
Fattah and Prime Minister Abbott, who recently committed $200 million for a new dementia initiative, will be honored at SBMT's Annual World Congress in March, where Fattah will deliver the keynote address. Past recipients of the prestigious honor include California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (2008), U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (2009), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (2010), and many more distinguished lawmakers both within the U.S. and abroad.
This is the second recognition of the Congressman's neuroscience work this week. On Wednesday, Fattah was recognized by Research!America with the Edwin C. Whitehead Award for Medical Research Advocacy. Fattah will accept the award at Research!America's annual Advocacy Awards dinner in March, part of the organization's 25th anniversary commemoration.
Earlier this week, Fattah continued local efforts to advance his Neuroscience Initiative, delivering remarks to a group of doctors and researchers working to combat Alzheimer's disease at the Temple University School of Medicine. His participation at the Temple event came less than two months after Fattah helped launch a historic partnership between Temple University and four other organizations-including Penn Medicine-around Alzheimer's research.
Launched in 2011, the Fattah Neuroscience Initiative (FNI) is focused on elevating neuroscience as a national priority. Fattah was instrumental in launching President Obama's BRAIN Initiative last spring, and FNI was responsible for the formation of the Interagency Working Group on Neuroscience (IWGN), housed at The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. To date, FNI has also initiated a formal collaboration with the pharmaceutical community to increase private sector investment in brain research, and has promoted global partnerships between the United States, the European Union, Israel, and other countries around the world. Additionally, the bipartisan budget bill passed last month included language further promoting international neuroscience collaboration.

text: The Decennial Census is traditionally an enumeration of persons and housing units together with certain characteristics of interest. Previously used methods for adjusting for net coverage only reflect coverage error for persons. For consistent handling of traditional tabulations, we need coordinated adjustment of persons and housing units. This report describes the construction of a data file for Decennial short form data based on such coordinated adjustment given the presence of external data constraints. The example presented is for the state of New Jersey and uses estimates of persons from the Accuracy and Coverage Evaluation (March 2001 estimates) as the external constraints.
