SMART Software
The School Measurement, Assessment and Reporting Toolkit (SMART) system is a powerful diagnostic tool that provides feedback on the NAPLAN and ESSA results to NSW schools and their communities.The web-based SMART system is available to schools as a centralised system and is accessed through the Department of Education and Communities (DEC) portal.
Principals are reminded to maintain their staff list for approved access to SMART data through AMU to ensure only current teaching staff have access the school's data.
Please note:
All principals are reminded to update their staff details to ensure that current teaching staff have access the school's data. (For more information see provisioning information below).
Principals and their delegated officers are responsible for providing and maintaining access to SMART for the staff at their school.
NAPLAN Persuasive Writing Scale
ACARA introduced a new and additional NAPLAN reporting scale for the 2011 data. The new scale means that the results for Writing in 2011 cannot be compared with results in Writing for any of the previous years and it will not be possible to report student growth and trend data for both means and percentages in bands. Changes have been made to SMART and apply to Writing only.
New eLearning modules are embedded within SMART to support users in access and navigation as well as the interpretation of the NAPLAN data.
Schools can access the 2011 NAPLAN results through the DET portal link to SMART in 'My Applications'. If portal access is not available to Principals:

Reed: future uncertain
5:59pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in Sport By Richard Mason, Sports Writer/Sub-Editor
SUNDERLAND midfielder Adam Reed admits his future on Wearside is uncertain, with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
Reed played for Portsmouth at Hartlepool United on Tuesday night after signing a short-term deal with the League One strugglers.
The 21-year-old will, from next season, have to be registered in Sunderland's 25-man squad for the Premier League if he is to feature for the Black Cats, and is unsure as to whether he will be offered terms.
Reed said after Tuesday's 0-0 draw: "My contract is up in the summer and I've been out on loan a lot, so I've played quite a few league games now. But then you go back and you don't get an opportunity - so it gets a bit frustrating.
"I know I will have to look at my future and I will find out sooner rather than later whether they will offer me a contract or whether I want to find another club and play first-team football.
"I've been there a long time and it will be hard to make that decision if I decide to leave. But every player wants to play first-team football once you've had that taste.
"There is no better feeling than playing a proper game at 3pm on a Saturday.
"To play in front of fans makes it a proper competitive game. It's hard to go back to playing in the Under-21s when you have had a taste of that.
"There is nothing like league football and if I am meant to play at the highest level, I will get there."
Meanwhile, the Black Cats are understood to be looking at Zambian defender Stoppila Sunzu who is on Wearside for a trial.
The centre-half had a trial at Reading during the transfer window and was presented to the Royals as a free agent, but his club TP Mazembe argued that he was contracted until 2015, causing the deal to break down.

A man was taken to a hospital Wednesday night after a small fire erupted in a kitchen at an apartment on Chestnut Street, off North Livermore Avenue, officials said.
At around 5:40 p.m. emergency crews were sent to the area near North I Street for a report of a possible structure fire, Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department Battalion Chief Chris Johnson.
The small blaze was contained shortly after fire crews arrived on scene.
A cause of the fire is under investigation, but it appeared the small blaze was due to a cooking incident.
The man taken to the hospital was treated for smoke inhalation, officials said.
There are unconfirmed reports that the man taken to the hospital evacuated children from the apartment during the blaze and attempted to put out the fire with buckets of water.

Remember that time we said we were going to be in Reveal Magazine…
Before you read on we should probably note where it say "Becca says…" etc it means, they spoke to us, extrapolated that into a "journalist-y" (their words) article, which was then read back for us to agree to. Just FYI.
First image is of the super small print down the side and reads: "Becca, Emily, Subi and Holly-Rae run a site called Those Pesky Dames. For more info, visit thosepeskydames.tumblr.com or youtube.com/ThosePeskyDames"
Second image features sections for Becca and Emily and reads as follows:
Becca: Quote line in all caps, 'Shaving is a waste of time and money'."Becca Rothwell, 27, a social media trainer who lives with her boyfriend in London says: 'I stopped shaving a few years ago when I realised it was a waste of time and money. I haven't shaved for almost a year now and it doesn't bother me.
It's scary to think how much women spend on shaving, waxing and laser hair removal. On average, it costs around £30 for an underarm wax in the UK and , although every woman is different, hair usually grows back within three to fgour weeks, so it's money down the drain!
I've heard people say it's "dirty" when women don't shave, but that's rubbish. I have impeccable hygiene and body odour's not a problem if you wear deodorant.
My boyfriend's seen me with hair under my armpits and without, we've even talked about it and he really doesn't care. Our sex life is still good whether I'm hairy for hairless.
I shaved my legs a few weeks ago for my cousin's wedding I only did so because I didn't want the guests staring at my hairy legs when they should be gazing at the beautiful bride, but it'll probably be another year before I shave again.'"
Emily: Quote line in all caps, 'I'll never shave for a man again'
"Emily Inglis, 18, a student from Hertfordshire, says: 'Up until last year, my underarms were clean-shaven, but then I got into a relationship and suggested to my boyfriend that I might stop shaving as the hair didn't bother me and I felt it was a pointless exercise. He told me he preferred me to shave. I was surprised by his reaction because I didn't think he wouldn mind. His attitude put me off him.
Last November, we split up and I stopped shaving altogether. The truth is, I can't be bothered to de-fuzz every day and I'm not interested in anyone who puts pressure on me to do so. It's me they should love - hairy armpits or not. I know there's probably hundreds of women reading this who are in relationships and feel their other half would be shocked if they stopped shaving. Maybe they would be, but they'd soon get over it.
If a man ever told me he "preferred" me hairless again, I'd tell him to like it or lump it. Women should have confidence in themselves to be who they want to be. Perhaps us girls would like our men hairless, too - have they ever thought about that?'"
Third image features sections for Subi and Holly-Rae and reads as follows:
Subi: Quote line in all caps, 'Men don't care if women shave or not'
"Subi Wahogo, 19, a student from Reading, says: 'I haven't shaved my armpits since December 2011, mainly out of laziness and the fact I don't care what people think of me. I've never had any negative comments to my face, but I've heard them about "hairy girls" in conversation. They're mainly from girls - I think we're more self-critical because we're scared of criticism coming from someone else.
Men don't seem to care about these things as much as we think. Every guy I've been with hasn't given two hoots if I shave or not. I think women are terrified by the fear of their partner turning around and saying they're gross and have "let themselves go". But if he cares about you, he shouldn't care about your hair!
I was so shocked when I saw Pixie Lott's picture as there was barely any hair there. I can't believe people were making such a fuss about a tiny bit of stubble. It's not like she's suddenly going to lose her ability to sing, and thus all her fans, because she didn't pick up her razor for a few days.'"
Holly: Quote line in all caps, 'Why should women apologise for not shaving?'
Holly-Rae Smith, 23, a bra-fitter from Cambridge, says: 'It's disturbing that women are criticised by the media for having fuzz under their arms. Being a bra-fitter, I see women's pits every day and find it strange when women apologise for not shaving. It's indicative of the society we live in. Why are women apologising for something so natural? Do men apologise when they go to a tailor's with hair on their legs, or when they go to see the doctor with pubic hair? No. So why do women feel ashamed of their body hair?
It's a shame women are criticised for being happy with the way they are. If they don't want to shave, that's up to them, but it shouldn't be mandatory.
I heard that Jennifer Aniston hates having any hair down below and has been know to go at it with tweezers if she finds some. I'm surprised by the extremes women go through for the price of "beauty". I felt encouraged when I heard Pixie Lott had been snapped with hairy pits, but when I looked at the photo, it was no way near as hair and "scary" as mine! Us Brits really need to get a life and talk about something important'".
Fourth image is from the front cover of the magazine and shows a picture of Holly-Rae, a young women with short blonde hair, wearing a bright blue dress and showing her armpit hair. The caption in all caps reads, "Real women: 'We love our hairy armpits'". (TPD note - "Real women", ugh.)
Fifth and final image is from the inside cover of the magazine and shows a picture of Emily, a young women with tied back wavy dark hair, wearing a leopard print dress and showing her armpit hair. The caption in reads, "Hairy and proud. The real women who won't shave their pits."

The Times-Tribune
By Jeff Noble/Staff Writer
The second day of the Lisa Gilliam murder trial saw a dozen witnesses for the prosecution examined and cross-examined by attorneys on both sides by late afternoon.
The grilling of some witnesses by Gilliam's defense team got quite intense. That, and the jury listening to two police tapes played by the defense, made for a riveting Tuesday in London.
Lisa Gilliam is charged with the death of attorney Larry Gilliam — her husband of 44 days — in his law office in London just before 2 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 7, 2011.
One of the witnesses in Laurel Circuit Court was Detective Allen Harris of the London Police Department, who was at the scene of the shooting on Jan. 7, 2011, when Lisa Gilliam's husband, attorney Larry Gilliam, was shot and killed.
Harris told Commonwealth's Attorney Jackie Steele he ran out to get his camera to take pictures of Larry Gilliam's law office, where the shooting occurred. Harris said to Steele he spoke with Detectives Don Wilson and Tommy Johnson, instructing them to process the crime scene.
When asked if he talked to Lisa Gilliam at the scene, Harris told Steele, "I did not talk to Lisa. Not at all."
Harris noted to Steele that after the weapon was found and thought there were some inconsistencies, he left the scene.
"When I arrived at the police department, I saw her. Detective Phelps and I began questioning her. … Initially, the interview was not recorded. Her first explanation was she was in the back when the gun was fired. Later, when she said she was in the front sitting when he came up and shot himself, we recorded it."
Harris noted to Steele the statements from Gilliam that he and Sgt. Matt Moore had taken had conflicted, and that he interviewed her three times, on Jan. 7, 14, and 17 of 2011.
"There were several inconsistencies on where the gun was located, where she was and where Larry was."
When cross-examined by defense attorney Scott Foster, Foster told Harris, "You said she told inconsistencies. Let's tell the jury. Let's set the stage. … This is a murder trial."
Foster played an hour-long tape of Harris, Phelps and Lisa Gilliam taken from the police interview on the afternoon of her husband's shooting.
"Did you touch the weapon?" he asked Gilliam.
"I don't remember. … I just remember the blood. … I remember him falling. … I remember blood on his back," Gilliam replied back.
"You described the gun going off," said Harris.
"I would not do that to him," said Gilliam.
In the tape, Harris said to Gilliam, "Lisa — there was two shots fired today, or there was one shot fired." Later, Gilliam told the officer, "He shot himself."
Throughout the playing of the tape, Gilliam was heard saying hysterically in the interview to the officers, "I did not do this," "There's no way that gun got into my desk," "I don't know if had touched the weapon," and "I don't know what to do." Towards the end of the tape, Harris wanted to read Gilliam her Miranda Rights and get a statement from her. It took several minutes to do so. On the tape, the time was 5:07 p.m. when she she began writing the statements, adding she saw blood on her husband's back, and called 911.
The tape was paused. After the attorneys approached the bench to speak with Special Judge Robert McGinnis for 10 minutes, the defense resumed the tape.
The tape ended with someone in the police station saying to Lisa Gilliam, "Larry's passed away."
Foster continued his questioning of Harris.
"Never a single time, she never said, 'I shot him,'" Foster told him.
"Correct," replied Harris.
"She consistently said there was only one shot."
Later, Foster asked Harris, "He had to have been shot right by the closet."
"She never once said, 'I never saw him shoot himself.'"
Harris nodded yes.
He later told Foster, "The next day, they started moving furniture out (of the law offices)."
Foster asked Harris, "Did Lisa do that?"
"I don't know who did," was the reply.
"You promised Lisa there were two shots fired?" Foster asked. "I did," said Harris.
"That wasn't true," Foster replied.
"At the time I did," said Harris.
Earlier in the day, London Police Officer Shannon Morgan was examined by Steele. Morgan, a prosecution witness, was one of the first at the shooting scene, and told Steele that Larry Gilliam was lying on the floor in the front office, with his wife kneeling down.
Morgan said he didn't find the gun. "I asked Larry where the gun was, but he did not respond. … When other officers asked her where the firearm was, she did not know. … When we came in, he was lying on his back, head towards the wall, feet towards his desk. She stated (to me and other officers) that he came in and shot himself."
In the cross-examination, defense attorney Robert Norfleet asked Morgan, "When you went in, you had a mic (body mic) on?"
"That's correct," was Morgan's answer.
"And it recorded at the scene?"
"That's correct."
Norfleet said, "I'm going to play that."
Sirens were heard on the beginning of the tape, as Morgan was going to the scene. The name "Larry Gilliam" was also heard, and an hysterical female voice crying out "Oh, God!" "Oh, God!" "Help me!"
It was Lisa Gilliam's voice.
"Where's the gun, Ma'am?" replied an officer.
"I don't know!" Gilliam answered back.
The tape lasted for about seven minutes. After it ended, Norfleet asked Morgan, "Larry did not move his arm toward Lisa?"
"No," was Morgan's answer.
"What did she say to you?"
"He came in here and shot himself."
"That was in the front office?"
Moments later, Norfleet asked Morgan, "Within four minutes of the recording, she said, 'He shot himself in the front office.'"
"Yes," said Morgan.
Other witnesses who were called to the stand on day two included Sgt. Moore of the London Police Department, Matt Cross, a forensic specialist with the Kentucky State Police; Kathleen Holznagel, a forensic biologist with the State Police; London Police Officers Daniel Robinson and Bryon Lawson; Sgt. Don Wilson of the State Police, Sgt. Greg Reams of the State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, and Jessica Copeland, a forensic specialist in Ashland.
Day three of the trial is set for today (Wednesday) at 9 a.m., with expert testimony from the defense scheduled to begin.

|The Anounciation and Saint Peter and Paul
|The icon representing the Annunciation and Saints Peter and Paul is an interpretation after a Romanian model of the seventeenth century, the desire of personal interpretation, however, keept a slightly naive style. Note that the original work was painted actually on an altar door. As indicated by the Byzantine religious canons, the altar doors are painted with the Annunciation, that Archangel Gabriel announcing that Mary will bear the Son of God. In the superior part are saints Peter and Paul, St. Paul the founder of the Christian Church and St. Peter as guardian of the gates of heaven, whose keys he holds.
|The icon is made of dry wood reinforced with wood bars, covered with a natural fiber cloth layer, for a higher strength and stability against the external factors. Base preparation is made by a tested recipe, based on bone glue, chalk dust and other quality ingredients.
The painting technique is called egg tempera, an ancient procedure that gives the painted layer special and artistic properties and also a greater resistance over time. For golden areas, it was used gold leavs, hand polished.
The icon was finished with professional laquers, wich hold and protect the painting and do not allow yellowing over time.

Meat cuts vanished from Venezuelan supermarkets this week, leaving only unsavory bits like chicken feet, while costly artificial sweeteners have increasingly replaced sugar, and many staples sell far above government-fixed prices.President Hugo Chavez's administration blames the food supply problems on unscrupulous speculators, but industry officials say government price controls that strangle profits are responsible. Authorities on Wednesday raided a warehouse in Caracas and seized seven tons of sugar hoarded by vendors unwilling to market the inventory at the official price.Major private supermarkets suspended sales of beef earlier this week after one chain was shut down for 48 hours for pricing meat above government-set levels, but an agreement reached with the government on Wednesday night promises to return meat to empty refrigerator shelves.
Shortages have sporadically appeared with items from milk to coffee since early 2003, when Chavez began regulating prices for 400 basic products as a way to counter inflation and protect the poor.
Yet inflation has soared to an accumulated 78 percent in the last four years in an economy awash in petrodollars, and food prices have increased particularly swiftly, creating a widening discrepancy between official prices and the true cost of getting goods to market in Venezuela."Shortages have increased significantly as well as violations of price controls," Central Bank director Domingo Maza Zavala told the Venezuelan broadcaster Union Radio on Thursday. "The difference between real market prices and controlled prices is very high."
Seeking to revive farm production, for example, the government sells gasoline to farmers at a bargain rate of 330 Zimbabwe dollars per liter - and farmers promptly resell it on the black market for 10 times that, leaving their fields idle.
Gonzalo Asuaje, president of the meat processors association Afrigo, said that costs and demand have surged but in four years the government has barely raised the price of beef, which now stands at $1.82 per pound. Simply getting beef to retailers now costs $2.41 per pound without including any markup, he said."They want to sell it at the same price the cattle breeder gets for his cow," he said. "It's impossible."
"Economics does not say that isolated government interference with the prices of only one commodity or a few commodities is unfair, bad or unfeasible. It says that such interference produces results contrary to its purpose, that it makes conditions worse, not better, from the point of view of the government and those backing its interference. Before government interfered, the goods concerned were, in the eyes of government, too dear. As a result of the maximum price their supply dwindles or disappears altogether. The government interfered because it considered these commodities especially vital, necessary and indispensable. But its action curtailed the supply available. It is therefore, from the view of government, absurd and nonsensical.If the government is unwilling to acquiesce in this undesired and undesirable outcome and goes further and further, if it fixes the prices of all goods and services of all orders and obliges all people to continue producing and working at these prices and wage rates, it eliminates the market altogether ... The consumers no longer direct production by their buying and abstention from buying: the government alone directs it." (Human Action, p 764)
At what point is there an influencer he cant control?
President Hugo Chavez's administration blames the food supply problems on unscrupulous speculators...
First was denial. Now it's anger. Pretty soon will come bargaining, then depression, finally acceptance.

Look, Hank, it is his country, not yours. Why do you care, except to ridicule a philosophy you are diametrically opposed to? What was the purpose of your post again, except to acomplish the above statement?
Got that it is his country, not yours so if he wants to visit economic disaster and physical misery upon the citizens of that country well I guess that is just to bad. After all it is his country.
The logic is that the Venezuelans are "his" people, so Chavez can do to them them what he wants. (Jimmy Carter sprinkled holy water on his regime, after all).
their people are left with chicken feet.

excuse my ignorance, but why cany chavez control all the prices from start to finish to get the end price he wants? At what point is there an influencer he cant control?

The Union-Recorder
MILLEDGEVILLE — Facing yet another challenge, Georgia Military College preps for one of its biggest rivals in recent years as they take on sixth-ranked Nassau Community College at home Saturday.
This weekend's matchup will be the Bulldogs' eighth straight game of the season, and the fourth top-10 ranked opponent of the fall.
"This will be our eighth straight game. Not having to travel to play this game is certainly helpful, but we know it's going to be a battle," Bert Williams, head coach, said. "We're going to have to play well to get a win. It's a great rivalry and it's going to be an exciting game."
At 7-0, Williams is most impressed with how his men have adjusted their game from week to week and raised their level of play against some of the nation's toughest competition in the National Junior College Athletic Association.
"I think the one thing that I feel really good about is that every week we've not been satisfied with the level of execution. I think you'll see where we've gotten better in all phases of our game," he said. "I think, sure, ideally you want to be more confident. I think the guys are having as good a level of understanding of our calls or better than I've seen in many years."
The Bulldogs will be called upon to show the country they're the best team in the NJCAA this fall once again this weekend against a strong Nassau team.
GMC will face a run-oriented offense Saturday, one of the best in the country averaging 259.2 yards per game on the ground.
"They're going to be very physical on offense. They're a very good running team," Williams said. "They're a good passing team, but they're a very good running team. That's going to pose a challenge to our defensive guys."
Williams expects his players to be the first to the ball and be disciplined in this weekend's game.
"One thing we will do is make sure we fit our calls. We've got to do a good job tackling and rallying to the ball ourselves."
Offensively, the Bulldogs will see similar formations from their matchup with Iowa Western in which the squad put up 48 points on the board.
"Defensively, we feel like they have a lot of similarities as Iowa Western," Williams said. "They don't bring ton of pressure, they just get after you. We've got to do a good job of staying on our blocks and not letting them rally to the ball."
GMC and Nassau will kick off at noon on Saturday at Davenport Field, as the Bulldogs will offer a $2 discount on admission for anyone who donates at least 2 canned goods or non-perishable food items at the gate.

When Club Sandwich, the Paris-based fashion party, announced that it was changing its successful single-night schedule to a full-on week, there was worry that some of the party's trademark exuberance would diminish. (Because, honestly, who has the time to put that much effort into their look every single night of the week?) So last night—the sixth thumping one in a row—I decided to check out the revelers' endurance. And wouldn't you know it? Just as glam as it's been all week. Riccardo Tisci was holding court at one table while artist Francesco Vezzoli commandeered another. As I left, hairstylist-to-the-stars Ken Paves was just rolling in. "We were not worried about it being fun every single night," organizer Marc Zaffuto told me. "There are enough people that want to have fun and get dressed up in Paris that we were sure it would make it." And he hinted that tonight—the seventh and final party—would blow all previous evenings' escapades out of the water. "You'll have to come and see for yourself," he said when we asked him to divulge. "But it will be out of this world."

FROM CUTLER: "I went in there with every intention of solving the issue, being a Bronco, moving forward as a Bronco," said Cutler. "We weren't in there but about 20 minutes, [McDaniels] did most of the talking and as far as I'm concerned, he made it clear he wants his own guy. He admitted he wanted Matt Cassel because he said he has raised him up from the ground as a quarterback. He said he wasn't sorry about it. He made it clear that he could still entertain trading me because, as he put it, he'll do whatever he feels is in the best interest of the organization.
"At the end of the meeting, he wasn't like, 'Jay, I want you as our quarterback, you're our guy.' It felt like the opposite. He basically said that I needed to tell him if we can't work this out, to let him know. I thought he was antagonizing me and that was disappointing because I was ready to move on, committed as a Bronco. Really, I figured we'd hash things out, shake hands, laugh a little and move forward. What happened [Saturday] was the last thing I expected. If I didn't think it could be fixed, I never would have come back to Denver. It was painfully obvious to me and Bus [Cook, his agent] it's not something they want to fix."
U have to be an idiot to say this is Jay's fault. Mcdaniels basically said he doesnt want jay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how can u not be upset when u r the face of the franchise and a pro bowler, and thi srookie coach comes in saying he doesnt want you. HE SAID HE WASNT SORRY ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!! what, is this a movie? i cant comprehend this!!!!!! DU U remember when josh said he never tried to trade jay. and now he is saying that he wants cassel.
jay is being proffesional about this by not sayng any bad things and said he report to ALL MANDATORY MEETINGS AND PRACTICES. most people in his situation woudlt do that!
"Before this trade for Cassel thing ever came up, in the two weeks or so I had spent with McDaniels, he was basically telling me that he came to Denver because he wanted to coach me and that we needed to trust each other," said Cutler. "He's never been critical to me. But trust now? How can I trust him now?"
i think that last one says it all. how can he trust him. and if jay cant, how can i. i dont think we can ever trust mcdaniels again after what hes done. HOW CAN UUUUUUUUUU!

Understanding the new securities law and what it means for your business
Private Matters, August 2012
Deloitte's Restructuring Services Account Director Adrian Hunter provides a summary of the new Personal Property legislation and the serious risks it raises for many Australian businesses.
The Personal Property Securities Act (PPSA) came into force on 30 January 2012 – a reform of the securities law in Australia which had been in discussion for many years.
The PPSA triggers significant changes in the way security is taken over personal property and impacts upon both corporate entities and individuals alike. The Act establishes a single national regime governing security interests in personal property. This covers almost all forms of tangible and intangible assets, including intellectual property. However, the regime excludes interest in land, buildings, fixtures and most statutory licences.
Financiers, along with businesses operating across all industries – but particularly in the mining, manufacturing, wholesale and retail sectors – are affected.
The security interests are managed under one national PPSA Register that is accessible and managed online.
A security interest is granted by the borrower/debtor and secures a performance obligation or a payment to a secured party, and may arise from some of the following examples:
- Charges
- Mortgages (excluding a mortgage over land or water rights)
- Conditional sale agreements, including retention of title arrangements
- Hire purchase agreements
- Pledges
- Trust receipts
- Leases of goods
- Consignments
- Assignments
- Joint Venture agreements.
A secured party may include a supplier, manufacturer, lender, creditor or lessor, even if it is a related party. They need to take steps to perfect their security interest in order for it to be effective in the event of the debtor's insolvency and against any other holder of a competing security interest. This process of perfection is often achieved via the registration of the security interest on the PPS register.
What action to take
The PPSA raises serious risks for many Australian businesses. Business owners and directors should understand that usual "asset protection" and separation vehicles and structures such as trusts and separation of entities may not protect their assets from the reaches of the PPSA. A few points for business to consider:
- Seek expert advice on PPS Act and how it will impact on your processes, procedures and documentation
- Review your processes, procedures and documentation to ensure your security and ownership rights are protected under PPS Act, and implement appropriate changes
- Don't overlook how PPSA will impact upon existing security arrangements
- Understand what collateral classes are relevant to your line of business
- What agreements will now be considered as security interests? Will you need to create securities under multiple collateral classes to ensure your interests are protected?
- Review the terms and conditions of your contracts. How will you incorporate notice of lodgement on PPS Register into your contracts? Do your rights of variation cover you for existing arrangements?
- Investigate whether any contractual restrictions on assignments will become ineffective after PPS Register commencement
- Assess your risk of conducting business without making PPS Register registrations, or transacting with companies who request not to have registrations made against them
- Appoint a key executive or team to take responsibility for consideration of how the PPS Act affects your business
- Investigate whether any securities exist on non-migrating registers, as these may need to be registered on the PPS Register
- Verify your collateral data to minimise the risk of defective registrations
- Perfect your interests.
How Deloitte can help
Deloitte has established a team of experts to assist you with understanding the PPSA and what it means for you and your business. We believe your main focus is likely to be the identification of your registration needs and an awareness of how to complete the registrations. You may also wish to understand what security interests will be registered against your business.
Deloitte has developed a methodology to undertake a diagnostic of your business' PPSA requirements. We will deliver you a report which may include the following:
- A schedule of the identified asset and transaction categories as conferred by the PPSA
- Our recommendations on whether or not you may need to effect registrations under each category and our reasons for that view
- Extracts of the key aspects of the PPSA including explanations of the key terms.

TEDxBroadway, according to press notes, "will begin where the sold-out 2012 TEDxBroadway left off, bringing together some of the most passionate and influential people in academics, entertainment, marketing, and media to answer the question: 'What's the best that Broadway can be — on stage, in the community, and throughout the world?'"
"TEDxBroadway invites everyone who has a stake in Broadway, a neighborhood of New York City, to participate in shaping its future," said Jim McCarthy, CEO of Goldstar and an organizer of the event, in a statement. "Our goal is to present speakers who inspire ideas, conversations and growth."
The event will feature presentations by artists, entrepreneurs, non-profit theatre executives and business experts. Joining the lineup are "Millionaires" magician Steve Cohen; Erin Hoover, vice president of design for Westin and Sheraton Hotels & Resorts; Vincent Gassetto, visionary principal of NY's M.S. 34; Zachary A.

"Broadway is about more than theatre as a genre and today's hottest shows. There's an ecosystem that has far-reaching impact on the entire world," Broadway producer Ken Davenport said in a statement. "We were encouraged from last year's TEDxBroadway attendees to keep this discussion going to examine other influences, new opportunities and add fresh perspectives."
TEDxBroadway, an event licensed by TED, is co-organized by Damian Bazadona, founder of Situation Interactive; producer Davenport; and McCarthy of Goldstar.

The Mavericks had very little time to celebrate winning the WCF.
Collapse or Comeback, it was epic.
A little D played. As in, 'Defense'. Or in 'Da Whistle', not sure.
Lakers swept, Mavs not that excited, L.A. still in shock, Phil done, relieved and disappointed at the same time. Read or try to smoke some Peyote!
After being down 0-3, the Lakers and Mavericks have a clear sense of Reality. More or less, anyway.
Mavs calm and cool, execute. Lakers heated, Trust issues and Anger.
Mavs rally back to Win Game 1 after Lakers take a 16 Point lead in the third and fail to execute in the clutch. Various levels on Concern on the Lakers Side, Decent Happiness on the Mavericks.
Not quite Game 4 again, but close(d). Punch Dirk in the Face to get 33 Points in Return.
The Home team once again got some cooking and better perfomance. Rebounds are finally a deciding factor, FTcomplainblabla and a Cardinal Sin/Screen.

FULTON, Ill. —
The search for a new superintendent to replace the retiring Robert "Chuck" Holliday is well under way for the River Bend School District, with the hope that a final decision will be made in late February or early March.
At a River Bend meeting Tuesday, board members met with Donna Johnson, a consultant with the Illinois Association of School Boards, to discuss requirements, expectations and needs the River Bend District is searching for in a new superintendent.
"I am here to assist you in your search for a new superintendent," Johnson said. "Our reputation is based on your satisfaction, which is guaranteed."
At the meeting Tuesday, Johnson worked with the board to plan a brochure that will be sent out to potential candidates and a timeline that will allow the district time to search, interview and decide on the right fit for them.
Although the interview deadlines are tentatively set, one deadline is crucial to the board's desire to make the superintendent search swift and thorough; applications will only be accepted until 12 p.m. on Dec. 2.
After the applications have been received, Johnson and two other IASB consultants will sort through them and present the River Bend School Board five to seven potential candidates on Dec. 9 to be interviewed in January.
Board member Chris Barnett suggested that once the district receives the candidate profiles, they begin the interview process as quickly as possible.
"If we're close then I think the sooner the better," Barnett said. "I think we try to do everything as quick as we can with this."
However, with the holidays approaching, Johnson recommended the board take the time they need to review the candidates and come back to the interview process after the first of the year.
"You're not behind. If it were April and you were just starting this, you would be behind," Johnson said. "Even if I come and present the materials and you wait until early January to interview, you're still fine. Then you have all that time to review them."
Board member Jane Orman-Luker agreed with Johnson and suggested a tentative schedule for interviews on Jan. 11 and Jan. 13.
"I would rather not rush us," Orman-Luker said.
Another difficult decision the board needed to make Tuesday included what the district would offer the possible applicants for a negotiable, base salary pay.
Knowing the market would be competitive for quality superintendents, that meet the district's standards, the board tossed around starting salaries between $90,000 and $100,000.
Orman-Luker suggested the board lean toward the $100,000 base salary because of the job duties that will be asked of the new superintendent and so the district doesn't limit themselves to the candidates that apply.
"I don't know how we can go less than $100,000 to be honest," Orman-Luker said. "What we want to be sure that we're doing, is presenting an attractive starting point."
The board set the base salary at $98,000l.
Now that they have met with a consultant and have set their standards to a nearly final product, the board will leave the search up to Johnson and her team with the hope that she will find the right superintendent to fit in the River Bend School District.
"We need to have somebody that's going to be a match for us," Orman-Luker said.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 04 (1999)
As Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and her friends began the transition from high school to young adulthood, Buffy the Vampire Slayer went through a ... Show synopsis As Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and her friends began the transition from high school to young adulthood, Buffy the Vampire Slayer went through a number of changes itself. New cast members, a new spin-off, and a new setting characterized a season that many fans and critics saw as a partially successful experiment. Experimentation was something of a theme for the season -- the experimentation of young adulthood and the experiments of a group of sinister government scientists known as The Initiative. Their shadowy military operations providing new elements of X-Files-like science fiction, The Iniative also managed to unleash Adam (George Hertzberg), the season's Frankenstein-like über-villain. As for the characters' personal lives, Buffy and Willow (Alyson Hannigan) enrolled at the fictional UC Sunnydale, whose campus became the locus of the action. Xander (Nicholas Brendon) began his aimless swim though the minimum-wage end of the labor pool, while ex-Watcher Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) faced an impending midlife crisis. The doomed love affair between Buffy and Angel had run its course, allowing David Boreanaz to launch his own show, Angel, with former series regular Charisma Carpenter in tow. When actor Seth Green asked to be released from his contract to pursue movie stardom, Oz, too, disappeared from the Scooby Gang. These departures left room in the cast for new love interests and new comic relief. Emma Caulfield supplied both as Xander's girlfriend Anya, a vengeance demon reincarnated as a teenaged girl, who struggled to make sense of human customs and vulnerabilities. Amber Benson soon showed up as Willow's new partner-in-Wicca, then as her new partner, period. Though the WB nixed any explicit lesbian content, Willow and Tara's mutual exploration of the supernatural provided ample opportunity for metaphor. By the time Willow was ready to come out to her friends, the show was earning high praise from gay-rights groups. Buffy, too, found new love in the arms of Riley (Marc Blucas), her corn-fed new super-soldier boyfriend. The final cast addition was a blast from the past: second-season veteran James Marsters. Spike, the actor's hell-raising vampire villain, became more of a wacky neighbor than a threat once The Initiative's mad scientists put a chip in his head to keep him from killing humans. Other return appearances included renegade slayer Faith (Eliza Dushku) in one of several crossovers with the first season of Angel. As usual, series creator Joss Whedon stepped in to write and direct several episodes. "Hush" used the techniques of silent film to unleash primal horror on the Slayer and her friends, while season closer "Restless" consisted almost entirely of dream sequences. These formal exercises earned Whedon tremendous critical acclaim -- and, in the case of "Hush," an Emmy nomination -- and cemented the season's experimental tone. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi Hide synopsis

HOUSTON -- There will be some spots that hit freezing in the northeast counties, said KHOU 11 News Chief Meteorologist David Paul.
Light winds, clear skies and very dry air should allow for temperatures to drop near freezing in places like Conroe, Huntsville and Livingston. The coldest air will be in the north and northeast of our viewing area.
There is not a freeze threat from Houston southward overnight because lows will be in the upper 30's.
After a chilly start to your day, temperatures will rebound up into the mid-60's on Wednesday under sunny skies.
You'll need a coat again Thursday morning with lows in the 30's. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 60's.
We'll finish out the work week under party cloudy skies and a high of 70 degrees on Friday.
There will be some rain this weekend, but it will most likely be Saturday night going into Sunday. There's a 20-percent rain chance on Saturday and a 40-percent rain chance on Sunday.
It'll get chilly again next week with highs in the 60's and lows in the 30's.

TListView - Delphi Usage Examples, Tips and Tricks
Implementing MaxLength For Delphi's TListView Edit Control
The ReadOnly property of a List View, determines whether the user can change the contents of the control - caption of an item. Since using TEdit we (Delphi developers) are used to have the MaxLength property. Here's how to limit the number of characters a user can enter into the ListView's editor control.
Implementing OnStateIconClick In TListView
Each item in a list view can have an icon next to it. The list of icons is defined by the SmallImages (and/or LargeImages) property. Further, the StateImages property defines additional images to display next to each item in the list view. Use StateImages to implement radio group like list view - where only one item can be checked.
Group Items in a Delphi's TListView Control
The TListView Delphi control displays and manages a list of items, displayed in columns, vertically or horizontally, with small or large icons. If you are using Delphi 2007, Delphi 7 or any other previous version, you can also have grouping (with expand, collapse) functionality in the TListView control. Here's one implementation idea.
Rearrange Multiple TListView Items using Drag and Drop
Using Delphi's drag and drop operations it is easy to implement rearranging multiple items in a TListView control. Most MP3 (any multimedia) players allow arranging playlist using the technique provided below.
Force TListView's Edit Mode using a Keyboard Shortcut
At run time, when ReadOnly is FALSE, the user can click the selected item to "enter" the edit mode. Upon entering the edit mode, the in-place editor for the item's caption is placed "above" the selected item.
Implementing On Item Click / Double Click for TListView
Unfortunatelly, if you need to know what list view item was clicked or double clicked you cannot simply handle the OnClick / OnDblClick events to get the clicked item. You need to call the GetHitTestInfoAt function and make sure the click event occured over an actual item. Here's how.
Implementing the On Item Checked Event for the TListView Control
When the ViewStyle property is set to vsReport and CheckBoxes is set to true, ListView includes a check box next to the items in the list. If you need to react when the checked state of an item changes you need to tweek the message handling processing of the TListView control.
Implement Custom Sorting for a TListView component
Suppose you have assigned numbers for the TListItem Caption property and need to sort the ListView when displayed in a report-style. To use custom sorting handle the OnCompare event. If an OnCompare event handler is assigned, AlphaSort method uses that event handler to define the sort order - call AlphaSort to sort the items
Use Custom Check Box Images for a ListView
When the ViewStyle property of a TListView Delphi control is set to vsReport and CheckBoxes is set to true, list view includes a check box next to the items in the list. By design this check box is, well, "ugly". It has a nasty thick 2 pixel border - and there's no property to change it.
Display Custom Hints for TListView Sub Items
To force a list view to display custom hints for items and sub items, you need to handle two events: OnInfoTip and OnMouseMove. Here's the implementation of the OnInfoTip event handler.
Placing a TProgressBar into a TListView
Here's how to add a progress bar (or any other Delphi component) to a ListView control. Plus: full source code to the TListViewEx component (TListView descendant) with ColumnResize events!
Custom Drawing of TListView Items - Font, Colors, Graphics
If you want to apply custom drawing (fonts, color, graphics) for each individual list item you can simply handle an event or two - and have a list view full of color and visually more attractive elements.

Other Things Bill O'Reilly Doesn't Understand, We Think (PICTURES)
The Huffington Post Ross Luippold & Pat Hroncich First Posted: 02/17/11 01:38 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:35 PM ET
share this story
In between holding an interrupt-a-thon with the President and telling Glenn Beck he's full of crap, Bill O'Reilly has been busy holding steadfast to his explanations of nature's miracles -- namely, that if he can't readily explain something, it must be evidence of God. While his description of the origins of the waves and the moon (hint: they're God) may have been worthy of parody by many comedians, they were only the tip of the iceberg (which, you guessed it, are Arctic miracles that can also only be explained by a divine hand).
Here are some other things we think O'Reilly might be confused by. But really, can you provide a better explanation? Vote for your favorite!

Book endorsed by Pam Rhodes
Apr 9, 2014
The newly launched edition of How To Get What Money Can't Buy: Personal Peace And Happiness In A World Of Unrest not only has a new cover but has been endorsed by Pam Rhodes who is the well known presenter of the BBC television series Songs of Praise.
Pam writes: What I love about this book is the way in which John draws on the wisdom of the past in order to inform and inspire us as we face the challenges in our lives today. I have long been an admirer of the inspiration and humanity we find in hymn texts written down through the centuries, because the human condition never really changes. When John Greenleaf Whittier, an American Quaker and poet during the 19th Century, wrote in that much-loved hymn Dear Lord and Father of Mankind about 'the still small voice of calm', he was pinpointing exactly the need for inner peace and a soul-deep connection with God that John Clements describes in this book. When the blind Gospel writer Fanny Crosby wrote how she felt 'free from my doubts and fears' because she was Safe in the Arms of Jesus, she was recognising the same reassuring answer to fear and anxiety which John also describes here. We are gently guided to an understanding of timeless truths and God's unconditional love, both of which are a welcome balm to help us cope with our own everyday problems.
New Website Launched!

Dear Friends,
My new website is now up and running. I am also now on twitter and facebook. Please check out my new book "How To Get What Money Can't Buy: Personal Peace And Happiness In A World Of Unrest" which is now available on Amazon for kindle!
Dr John Clements
I love good books
Mar 11, 2014
Good books, like good friends, are few and chosen; the more select the more enjoyable; and like these are approached with diffidence, nor sought too familiarly nor too often, having the precedence only when friends tire.
The most mannerly of companions, accessible at all times, in all moods, they frankly declare the author's mind, without giving offense. Like living friends they too have their voice and physiognomies, and their company is prized as old acquaintances.
We seek them in our need of counsel or amusement, without impertinence or apology, sure of having our claims allowed...What were days without such fellowship? We were alone in the world without it...
Next to a friend's discourse, no morsel is more delecious than a ripe book, a book whose flavour is as refreshing at the thousandth testing as at the first. Books when friends weary, conversation flags, or nature fails to inspire. - Amos B, Alcott
Excellence Becomes YOU! (New Book Coming Soon!)

This is a book paced with down to earth wisdom and contains many memorable short stories. At the moment the manuscript has only been read by a limited number of people but the feedback from them has been most encouraging.
A life in your life
Mar 11, 2014
Are you getting the best out of life?
Demands made by today's world may exhaust the toughest personality. Events in the Middle East bring an added dimension of anxiety - the most common cause of unhappiness.
Do you have a sense of apprenhension - maybe alarm - which may give rise to nerve depletion, even heart palpitation? The "Greens" are not the only ones who are concerned about what is happening on the earth.
Our fears, rational, or irrational, sudeen or long-standing, may be real. Some people are afraid to leave home, others can't cope with the hassle of the supermarket. How is it possible to find courage to face life with a resilient spirit and calm determination?
There are many answers. Here's one from St Francis de Sales, who wrote:
"Do not fear what may happen tomorrow...The same loving Father who cares for you today, will care for you tomorrow and every day...Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it...Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and inagined fears."
Why not start each day with an Affirmation? I love quotes especially from the Bible. I reapeat it to myself at odd moments and expect my mind to become more positive, to expect greater serenity and a sense of well-being. To tap resources of patience, faith, peace, strenght and wisdom that are handed down through the ages by saints and sages. I expect to enjoy a better quality of life from this day onwards.

It's not for the faint-hearted, but there's definitely a reason why a video advertising Perth's Central Institute of Technology has almost two million views on YouTube. Yes – almost two million. 1,916,460 to be exact, as of the afternoon of March 2. The video, titled "It's A Snap", was made by two former CIT students, Henry Inglis and Aaron McCann, who graduated from its film and TV course in 2003.
"It's A Snap" went up on YouTube on February 12. Someone posted it to Reddit, a website known as "the front page of the internet", and it rapidly went viral, attracting the attention of Time magazine and the Huffington Post, which called it "darkly hilarious" (any more details would ruin the fun, but it's fair to say it gets a bit gory). The institute had previously provided $1000 in sponsorship for two, who have a YouTube series called Henry and Aaron's Seven Steps to Superstardom, on the understanding that they would make an ad for CIT at some point. Their brief was to make something that would appeal to the 15 to 20 demographic.
"I am totally amazed, it's been phenomenal," said CIT managing director Neil Fernandes. It has been viewed around the world – half a million people in the United States alone have watched it, along with 100,000 people in Canada, 95,000 in Poland and 82,558 in Japan. The Monday after the video went up on YouTube, CIT's website had 8731 visitors – its highest number ever.
Fernandes said that while it was too early to see what sort of impact the video would have on enrollments, the institute planned to capitalize on the exposure, particularly the video's popularity in North America. "North America has not really been a market for us at all, but we might start to look at that for our creative arts programs, which are a specialty at Central," he said. The institute has 1300 international students, out of a total body of 30,000, from 83 countries around the world.
"The best thing is the fact that [Inglis and McCann] have been asked to come to LA to talk to people in the advertising industry, and I think they're going to be big stars," Fernandes added. "Apart form all the attention that the college has received, the best thing for me is that these students are going to have successful careers as a result of this."See the video at http://www.youtube.com/user/Centralinstitute.

These assorted tasting notes on wines made all over southern France were written on many different occasions over the last few months. Of course I have tasted many more wines, especially of the varietal Vin de Pays sort, most of which are relatively unexciting, but the wines below are truly distinctive. There are some excellent wines here, many at relatively modest prices. For other suggestions see also my recent tasting notes on 2001 southern...

Saving recipes on macbook pro + viewing on iphone 4
I have a macbook pro and see lots of great recipes on various websites like http://www.recipe.com/. Any suggestions on how I can save them on my mac and then access them on my iphone when I'm in the store shopping for ingredients?
I generally copy and paste the recipes I find online and save them as Word files on my Mac. I sync my whole recipe folder with Dropbox http://www.dropbox.com/. I have the Dropbox app on my iPhone, so I can pull them up on it anywhere.
I can also bring them up by logging into Dropbox from the browser on any computer, anywhere. If somebody at works ask me for a recipe (which happens a lot this time of year, in the middle of my annual holiday baking frenzy!), I can pull it up and print it, or email a copy to them, from my work computer.

Cailee Pasquale rode her new bike, with her new heart helmet, around her Laurel Drive neighborhood all day Christmas — once it came down off the roof.
Mom Bridgette Pasquale, with the help of a ladder and cousins Nick and Dan Pasquale of Walnut Creek, put the gift up on the roof to go with the story that Santa couldn't fit it down the chimney.
On Christmas morning, the family opened their gifts and then Bridgette said,
"Let's go out in the yard and feed the pigeons." While out in the yard, Bridgette asked Cailee, 7, a second-grader at Murwood Elementary School, if there was snow on the roof.
"No," said Cailee. "But there's a bike on the roof. Omigod — there's a bike on the roof!"
When cousin Nick brought the bike down from the roof, he reported to Cailee that there were cookie crumbs on the chimney — it appears Santa had a snack while contemplating the bike-chimney dilemma.
Thanks to neighbor David Ogden for taking the photo and sending it to Walnut Creek Patch.
