travel case
I would like some ideas on hard bow cases for a trip to namibia in september.
some that will survive the baggage handler olympics . included the throw for distance and the drop for accuracy events.
I have used a standard metal case and a tuffpak. I prefer the tuffpak. It is sturdy, easily takes two guns in padded gun bags, has room for additional items and doesn't look exactly like a gun case, it kind of resembles a golf bag hard case. Either one will work just fine. My buddy got a metal long case from Cabellas, it has wheels and is set up for strapping your duffel bag on it for easy carrying on the ground. He loves it. My tuffpak is wheeled also.

I used a vangaurd double bow case this past september and it made the trip fine except for airport busting to latches that were locked without faa locks. My friend just got me a new polemountain BII hardcase and it looks indestructable it will be going to Alaska in August and I can report back then. For my guns I use a pelican case & it works great, but ive had aluminium cases completely destroyed after one trip.

SKB cases are bombproof and come with a $1000 insurance should your bow get hurt, another option is Vanguard which make very decent cases.

I still think the best option of all is no case. Seriously.
On my very first trip with a beautiful SKB double bow case, the porters and police at JHB had a field day. I had to answer questions, sign forms, pay bribes (Oh, i mean tips) and all sorts of other B.S. Totally not worth it.
Since that day i bought a rolling duffel with a drop bottom/zippered compartment at the bottom. I load my bows (one compound/one recurve) in the bottom wrapped in clothes and foam. Arrows go in fly rod tubes and MTM arrow cases.
When you pick up your bag at the carousel, you magically walk right out without having to mess with anyone! It's the way to go.Tom

my skb double bow case carries 1500 insurance. it is a great case and i had no problems in jo-burg.
If you are going to use a case for your bow, I agree that SKB cannot be beat.

Absolutely Tom,
Since I do it that way with a huge duffle - ...etc. as you described it - I never had a problem at customs, police departments at the airports, check-in or at the conveyor belt. Sometimes I have to bring it to the bulky luggage booth because they could not put it on the conveyor belt at the check-in but with a bow case you always have to go to the bulky luggage check-in.
I never had a problem so far with the duffle on 4 trips overseas.
Bow, arrows etc. always arrived safely.
Before I had the Plano Maxcase which was sufficient for me. Advantage is that it is not that heavy as a SKB.
Anyone try the Pole Mountain bow case yet?

I did,
you read my operating experiences here:
Pole Mountain Outdoors Bowcase - Must Have or Over The Top?
The only thing I can critizise is that the rivets of the hinge are a bit worn out in the meantime. That is no problem, since the cover has a large sort of 'tongue' or latch that grips inside the case, so even if the rivets would get lost you could not open the case.
I just think that a case of this price could do with better rivets, thats all.
Apart from that I am still very satisfied with the polemountain case.

Primary Health Care: The Best Cure for Failed Systems
Healthcare costs are rising everywhere, yet people are not getting the care they need. Now more than ever, the answer is reform based on primary health care.
Health systems around the world are failing to meet the needs of the people they are supposed to serve, a failure that is now becoming "a threat to social stability," says the 2008 World Health Report, Primary Health Care: Now More than Ever.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Alex Clay, Hurricane's No. 1 singles player, ended his high school singles career on Schoenbaum Courts on Thursday.
The three-time All-State tennis player lost his Class AAA quarterfinal match of the State Tournament to Martinsburg's Grant Davis, 8-3.
The Class AAA boys and girls tournament continues at 8 a.m. today at the Schoenbaum Courts in Kanawha City.
Clay, a senior, just missed making the all-state tennis team for the fourth consecutive year.
"This is not how I wanted it to end," he said. "I was really trying to get the fourth All-State."
Clay, down a service break at 4-2 against Davis, brought out his big serve and won the game on an epic rally in which he had three overhead smashes.
He switched sides with the score at 4-3.
"I really thought I was going to carry some momentum after that game," Clay said. "I don't know what happened."
Clay lost the next four games.
"I was just outplayed," the senior said.
Davis had his own theory about what happened in the second half of the match.
"Actually, I think that point cleared all the nerves and I settled down," Davis said, "It was a tough match. Alex is a great player."
Davis, who is making his third straight appearance in the semifinals, will move on to play George Washington's Ryan Massinople.
Clay was obviously disappointed, but gracious after the loss.
"It was a good run," he said. "You can't take anything away."
Indeed, it has been a good run for Clay. Four straight state tournament appearances as a singles player are his to keep.
Clay was the No. 1 singles player at Hurricane as a freshman and made it to the semifinals before losing.
He moved down a rung for the Redskins as a sophomore and won the state title at No. 2 singles. As a junior, Clay again made it to the finals of the No. 2 singles tournament before losing to Huntington's Robert Skolik.
"At the No. 2 position, there are just a couple of schools you have to watch out for," Clay said. "At the No. 1 - there's not a bad kid here."
Clay's high school tennis career is not completely over.
He and his doubles partner, Jordan Chapman, won their first-round matchup 8-6 over Wheeling Park's Craig Baranski and Shaun Hunley.
Clay's loss to Davis seemed to be all but a memory at the end of the match with Baranski and Hunley.
Glenna Ragle, who is in her 15th season as Hurricane's coach, was talking to the doubles team after the switch - Hurricane led 7-6 - getting them ready in case the match went to a tiebreaker.
"It doesn't matter," Clay said. "I'm about to serve four to win."
He was wrong. It took five serves.
Clay and Chapman will play Davis and Carter Davis of Martinsburg today in the quarterfinals of the No. 1 doubles tournament.
* * *
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S boys tennis team is in bit of a slump in the state tournament - at least by George Washington's standards.
They haven't won a state title since 2010. However, things are looking up this year.
Third-year Coach Chris Luckett and his Patriots qualified all four singles positions and all three doubles teams.
Even better for the GW, every position moved to today's play, the second of the three-day event.

Masamune Shirow

Masamune Shirow (士郎 正宗 Shirō Masamune?) is a manga artist. He was born on November 23, 1961.[1]
Masamune Shirow is the pen name of Masanori Ota, based on a famous swordsmith, Masamune. He is best known for the manga Ghost in the Shell, which has since been turned into two theatrical anime movies, two anime TV series, an anime TV movie, and several video games. Shirow is also known for creating erotic art.
Born in the Hyōgo Prefecture capital city of Kobe, he studied oil painting at Osaka University of Arts. While in college, he developed an interest in manga, which led him to create his own complete work, Black Magic, which was published in the manga fanzine Atlas. His work caught the eye of Seishinsha President Harumichi Aoki, who offered to publish him.
The result was Appleseed, a full volume of densely plotted drama taking place in an ambiguous future. The story was a sensation, and won the 1986 Seiun Award for Best Manga. After a professional reprint of Black Magic and a second volume of Appleseed, he released Dominion in 1986. Two more volumes of Appleseed followed before he began work on Ghost in the Shell.
In 2007, he collaborated again with Production I.G to co-create the original concept for the anime television series Shinreigari/Ghost Hound, Production I.G's 20th year anniversary project.
A further original collaboration with Production I.G began airing in April, 2008, titled Real Drive.
Shirow is a world-famous illustrator. Indeed, for a time, he was more popular outside of Japan than inside.[citation needed] He was chosen as an early author to bring to the West because of many stylistic similarities between his work and traditional American comics.
Ghost in the Shell is a famous anime in the West based on his work, hence his popularity. Many people mistake him for the creator of the original anime movie, but he had no major role in its production. Mamoru Oshii directed both movies, which were adaptations of several chapters of the original manga put to film. However, he did play a role in the development of the anime TV series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

Galgrease (published in Uppers Magazine, 2002) is the collected name of several erotic manga and poster books by Shirow. The name comes from the fact that the women depicted often look "greased".
The first series of Galgrease booklets included four issues each in the following settings:
- Wild Wet West (Wild West-themed)
- Hellhound (Horror-themed)
- Galhound (Near-future science fiction–themed)
The second series included another run of 12 booklets in the following worlds:
- Wild Wet Quest (A Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones–style sequel to Wild Wet West)
- Hellcat (Pirate-themed)
- Galhound 2 (Near-future science fiction–themed)
After each regular series, there were one or more bonus poster books that revisited the existing characters and settings.

ROMAN CATHOLICISM TO c. 1700 Footnotes
Stepney's maritime role probably accounted for many reports of papists. In 1594 Thomas Leeds was said to keep a priest in Thorne House, Wapping, and his friend Nicholas Wolfe to have a hidingplace and altar in Washington House nearby. (fn. 63) A seaman called Hill who lived at the Green Dragon, Ratcliff, was reported to bring many seminary priests into England. (fn. 64) The Jesuit Henry Garnett had a house in Spitalfields in 1597 (fn. 65) and a Jesuit called Stansby or Drury was in Poplar in 1605. (fn. 66)
Papists reported in the 17th century were connected with foreign textile workers in and around Spitalfields or with Irish immigration into the riverside hamlets in the 1630s. (fn. 67) Recusants in 1678 included 30 from Spitalfields, 15 from Bethnal Green, and 9 from Wapping-Stepney. (fn. 68) In 1680 35 were listed for Spitalfields, 15 for Stepney and Spitalfields, 20 for Bethnal Green, 18 for Stepney, 14 for Stepney and Wapping-Stepney, and 3 for Poplar; in Spitalfields and Bethnal Green most were apparently foreign. (fn. 69) Individuals summonsed in 1678-9 included two weavers of Spitalfields with foreign surnames, a victualler of Mile End, and a framework-knitter and a weaver of Bethnal Green. Three foreign tapestry-workers of Bethnal Green stood surety for 16 suspected papists, mostly with foreign surnames; a carver and a sculptor of Blackwall were also suspected. (fn. 70) John Potter of Poplar, accused in 1681 of harbouring papists, claimed that one was his Italian servant and that two who had escaped were visitors from Holland. (fn. 71) In 1690 a house in Spitalfields was to be searched for articles used in several London chapels. (fn. 72) The curate of Stepney had thought that there were no papists in 1706 but found eight, in Wapping, Bethnal Green, Mile End New Town, and Spitalfields. (fn. 73) In 1714 about 60 names were reported, in Ratcliff, Wapping, Spitalfields, and Mile End New Town. (fn. 74)

Hedeland Veteran Railway
The 5 km Veteran Railway in Hedeland close to Roskilde is the longest narrow gauge vintage railway in Denmark. Every year between May and September the trains run in the former large gravel pit which is now converted into the recreational area of Hedeland.
The tours of approx. 10 km through the beautiful nature of Hedeland will take you back to a past century and maybe bring back sweet memories. The trains run by steam or diesel locos.
Special trains for groups on request all year round.

Other: Navigation buttons
Add customisable navigation buttons (next/prev/etc.) to the bottom of each activity page (Moodle 1.9/2.0+)
Maintained by: Davo Smith
Navigation buttons (for Moodle 1.9 / 2.0+)
This block adds customisable navigation buttons (first/previous/next/etc.) to the bottom of each activity/resource page in a course.
It is based on an idea from Penny Mondani: http://pennymondani.com
Thanks also to the US company that sponsored the development, who wish to remain anonymous.
- Download the file and unzip it somewhere convenient.
- On your server, in the 'blocks' folder, create a subfolder called 'navbuttons'
- Upload all the files inside the 'davosmith-moodle-navbuttons-???????' folder to this new 'navbuttons' folder on your server.
- Log in to your Moodle site as an administrator and click on the 'Notifications' option in the Admin settings block.
- You need to make a small change to one Moodle core file to make this work (the change is different between Moodle 1.9 & Moodle 2.0 - see the included README.txt for details).
- Add the block to a course (turn editing on, select 'Navigation Buttons' from the 'Blocks - Add' menu)
- Customise the button appearance by clicking on 'Edit the Navigation Button settings' in the newly created block.
- Check the message at the bottom of the screen (under the 'Save changes' button) - it should read "Navbuttons self-test: required core modifications have been completed successfully". If not, then go back to step 5 above and check carefully.
Note: The block is only visible to users who are able to edit courses modules. Deleting the block will remove the navigation buttons (they can also be disabled through the settings).
For a quick demo, there is a screencast available here:

- Thu, Sep 19, 2013, 12:39 AMBefore this is installed you need to change the root folder name inside the .zip file from "davosmith-moodle-navbuttons-0056e71" to "navbuttons".
- Thu, Sep 19, 2013, 4:39 AMFloyd - yes, that is due to the plugin having been moved from the 'blocks' category on Moodle.org to 'other', so all the helpful tidying up that should happen when you submit files to here doesn't work.
There isn't a lot I can do about it. - Sat, Sep 28, 2013, 5:23 PMHi,
I'm trying navigation buttons on moodle 2.5.2 but it doesn't work. I've changed the lines in the file 'moodle/lib/outputrenderers.php' as the readme required then replaced the line:
$output = $this->container_end_all(true);
$output = draw_navbuttons().$this->container_end_all(true);
but it shows me the error message:
Navbutton self-test: The line "$output = draw_navbuttons().$this->container_end_all(true);" has not been correctly added to outputrenderers.php - see README.txt for further instructions
I don't think that i miss something... do you have any idea?
Greetings - Sat, Sep 28, 2013, 6:00 PMIt was certainly working properly with Moodle 2.5 last time I tried (probably 2.5+ or 2.5.1). Will double check, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't working if installed correctly. Could you see if it works with the standard theme, if you were using anything else?
- Sat, Sep 28, 2013, 6:39 PMWell the problem comes from the theme. We use Essential theme and Navigation buttnos doesn't work, when switch to standart theme the message is: Navbuttons self-test: required core modifications have been completed successfully.
Any idea what do I have to change to make this wonderful plugin work with essential theme?
Thanks. - Mon, Sep 30, 2013, 3:58 AMDimo - almost certainly by making the same change to the footer() function in theme/essential/renderers/core_renderer.php, but I've not tried it, so you'll just have to see what happens (please post here if it works or not, but I can't really provide much more support than that).
- Mon, Sep 30, 2013, 6:16 AMThat's it, now it works! Davo, thank you very much for your support and for the useful moodle plugin.
- Wed, Oct 2, 2013, 8:56 AMGreat plugin! Thanks for the work. The one change I would like to see is making it so that if the course that would normally be linked to by the "Next" button isn't available because of completion requirements, then the button should be greyed out and disabled rather than going to some other activity later down the line that is available. Thanks again!
- Wed, Oct 2, 2013, 2:25 PMJake - I think it would be very difficult to guess whether the teacher wanted that or wanted to skip activities that weren't available (for example, I assume that 'hidden' activities should still be skipped over and the next activity selected, the same for 'groups only' activities). I think it would also be confusing to users working through the course if they were stopped half-way through the course by a single activity that isn't currently available.
- Sun, Oct 6, 2013, 1:37 AMThank you for this great plugin!
I have one question though: where can I style the navbuttons? All CSS seems to be inline. - Sun, Oct 6, 2013, 1:43 AMHugo - you can change the icons or the colours via the settings page for the plugin.
- Wed, Oct 9, 2013, 2:09 PMhi Davo - love the plug in, but I agree with Jake. the way it is, people miss parts of the course with out even knowing it. Maybe this could be an option for those like Jake and I who prefer them not to be able to continue on until conditions are met??
- Sat, Oct 19, 2013, 5:42 AMDavo, thank you so much for this nice module. I am able to implement it. Please also add essential and other themes specific troubleshooting in README file. I shall be grateful to you.
- Fri, Nov 22, 2013, 2:31 AMThanks for developing such a great plugin. We are planning to upgrade to Moodle 2.6 soon and were wondering if a new version of navbuttons will be released or if this version will work as is. Thanks.
- Fri, Nov 22, 2013, 6:22 PMMatt - the version on github is working with Moodle 2.6 - I'll be doing a big update of all my plugins on Moodle.org in the next few days.

Damien Echols Returns to Arkansas to Speak at UCA
It's been over two years since Damien Echols, of the West Memphis Three, was released from prison and he's making a rare trip back to Arkansas Monday to speak at UCA. Echols and his wife Lorri are traveling from their home in Massachusetts as part of the university's Artist-in-Residence Series to discuss two books he has authored.
Echols is a New York Times bestselling author and will meet with classes to discuss writing and participate in a discussion with the public. Professor Francie Bolter wrote the proposal to bring Echols to UCA and said she hopes to explore his writing process.
"My colleague John Vanderslice and I are going to engage Damien and Lorri in a conversation about what it meant to try to be a writer in prison, to try to tap into the muse and how you would be able to even find any kind of creative spirit in such an environment," said Bolter.
Echols was released from prison after serving on death row for the murder of three eight-year-olds. He and his codefendants were eventually offered a plea agreement as the state sought to avoid having to put them on trial again. Bolter said Echols' appearance is about more than his controversial incarceration.
"One of the things Damien says in his book is that he wishes his identity isn't wholly the West Memphis Three. One of the things I certainly want to offer him is the opportunity to talk as a writer and as someone who's tried to be an artist and create something out of his experience. I'd like to offer him that identity, I think it's important," said Bolter.
Bolter expects a capacity crowd of nearly 800 to be in attendance for the public discussion at 7:30 p.m. in Conway.

Report: Russell Wilson asked Seahawks for new contract

07:23 PM ET 01.20 | There is no secret that Russell Wilson had one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history. He didn't shatter records, but he lead the Seahawks to the NFC Divisional Playoffs and almost singlehandedly revived Pete Carroll's career in Seattle. But while his rookie season is over, Wilson is still fighting for something he wants - a new contract. However, there's a few things wrong with that, the main thing being Wilson legally can't ask for a new contract under the new CBA, which is something he's reportedly already done. Right now, Wilson is locked into a three-year rookie contract, which was structured under the new CBA. After the NFL lockout, one of the major changes made was how much rookies are paid. Salaries had become so massively inflated in the last 10 years, that teams had to seriously discuss whether or not they should hold on to their top pick because they weren't sure they could afford to sign the player they drafted.
So they sign him to a contract that starts in his 4th season with a nice little signing bonus

A contract is a contract, but WTF Wilson earned a deserving bonus in my book.
Total Comments (384)
History has shown that paying someone huge $$ after 1 good season has close to a 100% failure rate. Hypothetically if they were to give him 1 (even though they can't) and he goes through a HORRIBLE sophmore slump would he return the $$ or take a paycut next year? Doubt it.
Sounds like his agent doesn't really understand the mechanics of the current CBA.

Find a way to pay the guy....he deserves it. He's a top ten QB already and going to get better.

LOL!!! and so it starts... I doubt he gets his contract this season... GM's are very unlikely to cater to one hit wonders these days....
Total Comments (2142)
umm,....i'd tell wilson to just **** !,.......there's other rookies/2nd yr.-players out-performing their contracts too [jj-watt ?!]...!
Not to this level...but also Watt was a 1st rd pick so hes gettin 1st round money. Dude is a STARTING QB who won games as a 3rd rd pick...cant tell me he's not being underpaid. Look at how much Matt Flynn got this year and didnt even play.

Look at how much Matt Flynn got this year and didnt even play.
I think that Wilson also looked at Flynn's salary.

absolutely ridiculous article....way to spin this around on russell...read the reports **** wipe...he didn't ask, nor was he aware of anyone asking for him. I guarantee russell could care less about his contract right now. He's one of the few pure souls in the game.
He's in a similar situation as Kaepernick, played much better and much sooner than expected. All he has to do is keep performing at a top-level and stay healthy until he can be rewarded. Which is no easy feat in the NFL.
Just echoing Landry360 here. It's looking like Wilson knew nothing about this. One of his reps decided to be proactive without understanding the rules. Wilson seems to be the kind of guy that would play for whatever they'd give him. The big contract will come at the end of the 2014 season, and unless he gets hurt before then it's going to be a lot of moolah.
Sounds like his agent doesn't really understand the mechanics of the current CBA.
That would not surprise me.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Smoke, slate, super-ripe apricots and butter are some of the many notes that are woven together in the 2010 Meursault Charmes. A generous, large-scaled wine, the Charmes flows with tons of textural richness and body all the way through to the seamless finish. The Charmes is easily one of the more..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A gentle touch of wood frames an expressive nose of herbal tea, resin and mostly yellow orchard fruit aromas. There is fine richness to the intense and full-bodied flavors that are blessed with ample mid-palate fat and good depth on the complex and balanced finish. This is very Morgeot with its..
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "More Burgundian than Bordeaux-like, Gerard Perse's 2005 white Monbousquet exhibits rich, medium to full-bodied flavors of smoky oak, mango, white peaches, honeysuckle, and nectarine. While delicious, its aging potential is suspect, and I suggest consuming it over the next 4-5 years"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Well-balanced, exhibiting flavors of light toast, Gala apple, honey and ginger, with smoke and mineral notes underscoring hints of tropical pineapple and tangerine fruit. There's lovely texture, with a firm backbone of juicy acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Elegant acacia blossom, lemon zest, stone and pain grille suffused nose... excellent intensity... lovely depth on the mouth coating and impressively persistent finish... a wine of class and grace."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Light, bright gold, with a hint of green. Ripe pear and orange on the nose, with notes of nougat and yellow plum adding complexity. Smooth and fleshy in the mouth, offering juicy orchard and pit fruit flavors sharpened by a spicy nuance. The spicy finish features solid punch and good focus."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "There is a background hint of sulfur that detracts only mildly from the otherwise notably ripe aromas of dried apricot, peach and mango. There is excellent volume to the rich, delicious and extract-rich flavors that possess a seductive texture, all wrapped in a complex, balanced and solidly long..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This is aromatically very pretty with its expansive nose of green apple, pear, citrus peel and floral nuances. There is fine mid-palate concentration that supports the delicious and vibrant middle weight flavors that also possess a refined mouth feel before terminating in a slightly more complex..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Moderate reduction knocks the nose down and renders it difficult to properly evaluate though there are no such issues with the rich, generous and solidly voluminous middle weight flavors that possess plenty of mid-palate sap before ending in a delicious and lightly mineral-infused finish. This..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Pale yellow. Subdued aromas of yellow peach and flowers, plus a suggestion of wild herbs. Suppler and more deeply pitched than the Champgains, offering lovely depth of fruit and an oily quality. But not yet as silky as the last wine. This wine has excellent potential but will need a couple..

For its upcoming World Education Congress at the Miami Beach Convention Center from July 10 to 12, Meeting Professionals International has designed an educational track for the fastest-growing segment of its ranks--independent planners and business owners--as well as a summit for association meeting planners. Attendance is limited to 140 participants per summit.
The educational offerings seem to be striking a chord with members, as registration for the WEC is running at a brisk pace, says Kelly Schulz, manager of communications at MPI. As of llate April, 900 were preregistered, putting the 2005 conference ahead of the pace set by the 2001 WEC in Las Vegas, which holds the record for attendance In addition, three of the conference hotels are already sold out.
The two new summits follow the success of the ROI Summit held at last year's WEC in Denver. This year, "there is not a separate summit for ROI or corporate planners," says Schulz, "although there will be several sessions on these topics as part of our regular professional development schedule."
The Independent Business Owners Summit, July 11 and 12, features sessions such as branding and marketing; strategic alliances; human resources; financial matters; legal, contract, and liability issues; and mentoring staff and successors. "We think there's a niche there and we want to be able to provide business skills for owning and running a business," says Marsha Flanagan, vice president of professional development and strategic events at MPI.
Running concurrently is an educational track targeted to MPI's 1,200 association planner members--the Association Planner Summit. To open the forum, Flanagan is putting together a panel of association chief executive officers to discuss the roles of association planners. Other sessions will address working with boards and volunteers, legal issues facing today's associations, making boards strategic in order to take your organization to the next level, sponsorship, and the ways in which association planners and their roles within their associations have become much more strategic.

Bobby Caldwell Performs Songs from New Album HOUSE OF CARDS at The RRazz Room, 11/7-10
The RRazz Room, San Francisco's premier nightclub, presents the return engagement of acclaimed Pop and R&B singer-songwriter, BOBBY CALDWELL. Bobby will perform original songs from his newest album, "House of Cards," which features that classic Caldwell sound, along with a few diverse tracks, which have a hint of Country, Blues, and even Latin Dance. Also featured is Bobby's familiar marriage of vocals and saxophone, in addition to special guests Dave Koz and the talented newcomer Andrew Neu. "House of Cards" will be performed from November 7 through November 10.
BOBBY CALDWELL is one of the most prolific Blue-Eyed-Soul singers and has been performing to audiences throughout the US and Asia since his first hit, "What You Won't Do for Love" in 1979. The classic has been recorded and sampled by more than 100 artists, including rendition by Boys II Men. A sample of Bobby's song "Open Your Eyes" appeared in the Grammy nominated platinum hit "The Light" by Common. Bobby's songs and samples have contributed to over 40 million sales, including artists like Michael Bolton, Roberta Flack, Go West, and Vanessa Williams. Bobby's song was sung by Elliot Yamin during the Final 3 round of "American Idol" in 2006.

- How to Read a Study Record
Difficulties with intellectual functioning, particularly memory functions, are common and source of long-term disability after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). However, there is very little information about pharmacologic (i.e., medication) treatments targeting these deficits. There are growing data showing brain abnormalities in acetylcholine, the chemical system that manages memory, in TBI. These findings provide the rationale for the use of cholinesterase inhibitors, medications that modulate this system, in TBI patients. As the prevalence of TBI among Veterans of recent military conflicts increases, becoming a "signature injury" of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, it is of utmost importance to the Veterans Health Administration to collect scientific data on the efficacy of pharmacological treatments for intellectual difficulties in TBI patients. This study will evaluate the effects of the cholinesterase inhibitor rivastigmine transdermal patch in Veterans with TBI and posttraumatic memory problems. Results will provide much needed data that will help treat Veterans with TBI.

Detailed Description:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents one of the most significant health risks related to military duty; rapidly becoming the "signature injury" of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. TBI patients often experience multiple cognitive problems, with disturbances in memory, attention, and executive functions among the most common. Disturbances in memory as well as attention are particularly problematic, as disruption of these relatively basic cognitive functions may exacerbate or cause additional disturbances in executive function, communication and other more complex cognitive domains. These cognitive deficits, especially when memory is affected, significantly impact day-to-day functioning and are the source of lingering disability and distress to the affected individuals. However, despite advances made in TBI care, treatment of cognitive deficits in TBI lag behind, forcing clinicians to provide treatment without the guidance of evidence-based scientific data. This proposal aims to begin the process of providing clinicians with evidence-based guidelines for pharmacological management of Veterans with TBI suffering from persistent cognitive deficits following their injuries. This aim will be accomplished by conducting a clinical trial in Veterans suffering from moderate to severe posttraumatic memory impairment following TBI. Specifically, this proposal will evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivastigmine transdermal patch, an intermediate-acting cholinesterase inhibitor, in this population.
We hypothesize that rivastigmine transdermal patch will be more effective than, and equally safe as, placebo in the treatment of moderate to severe posttraumatic memory impairment in Veterans with TBI when tested in a randomized, multi-site, parallel design, placebo-controlled trial, at a 12-week endpoint. The exploratory hypothesis states that compared to placebo, rivastigmine patch will be more effective and equally safe in the treatment of patients who will continue in a randomized, placebo-controlled phase for a total of 26 weeks. To test these hypotheses we will evaluate the effect and the safety of rivastigmine 9.5 mg/24 hours (10cm2) transdermal patch in 256 Veterans who meet or exceed the criteria for closed, non-penetrating, mild TBI and who present at baseline with moderate to severe memory impairment. Memory impairment will be defined as a Total Recall index (Trials 1-3) of the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) that is at least 25% lower than the intelligence-adjusted expected score, as assessed by the WAIS-IV Information and Vocabulary subtests. The study consists of a screening period, one-week single-blind, placebo run-in phase, and a 12-week double-blind acute treatment phase (Phase I). Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to rivastigmine transdermal patch 9.5mg/24 hours (10cm2) or matching placebo. During Phase I, there will be an initial 4-week titration period followed by an 8-week continuation phase. Following the 12-week acute treatment phase, randomized patients will continue in the double-blind phase (Phase II) for additional 14 weeks or until study treatment period ends. Efficacy will be determined by comparing the proportion of patients in each treatment group who are classified as responders at week 12. Secondary measure of functional capacity assessing the impact of memory improvement on real-world functioning, other measures of cognitive domains affected in TBI, namely attention, working and episodic memory and executive functions, as well as measures of mood and quality of life will be examined. Study findings will contribute to the body of evidence needed to establish standards of care for Veterans with posttraumatic memory impairment and other cognitive deficits.

Increase Your Quality of Hire with Employer Branding
According to a survey conducted by Corporate Responsibility magazine, 75% of Americans wouldn't take a job with a company that had a bad reputation, even if they were unemployed. With the top candidates getting a choice in where they work, your employment brand makes a huge difference in whether top candidates flock to your company, or whether you continue to attract more mediocre and under qualified candidates. Take Google as an example. They have a great employment brand, which helps them receive millions of applications every year, so they have their choice of the best talent in the world. According to a Webrecruit survey, 32% of employers say quality is their biggest recruitment challenge, and Google doesn't really have that problem. That's the power of employer branding. So, how do you get started with Employer Branding?
See Where you Stand
The first thing you should do is see where you stand. Start with your employees, and find out what they think about your company. The Saratoga Institute found that 88% of employees leave their organization for reasons other than money – so make sure you know what they like and dislike about working at your company, what keeps them there, and what might make them want to leave. Make sure you know where you stand on employee recognition, opportunities for advancement, training, management, etc. Next, survey candidates to find out about their experience with your company. Find out if they would apply again, and if they would recommend that their friends and family apply. If you made an offer which was rejected, ask why. Finally, check your company reviews on Glassdoor and CareerBliss to see what people are saying. These may be a little more honest because of the anonymity factor, so see if it matches up with what you've already heard from employees and candidates. You should also be monitoring your employment brand online – try setting up some Google Alerts, following your @ mentions on Twitter, and staying on top of articles which mention your company. There are so many opportunities that can either make or break your employment brand, and you need to be aware of them. More important than being reactive, though, is being proactive. So make a plan of action.
Make a Plan of Action
Take what you learned from employees and candidates and make a plan to get from where you are now, to where to want to be. 84% of companies believe a clearly defined strategy is the key to achieving employer branding objectives. Start by taking a look at your Employee Value Proposition – that is, the characteristics and appeal of working for your organization. This goes beyond salaries and benefits - take a look at your culture, career development opportunities, employee recognition and rewards programs, overall work experience, management practices, etc. Take what you see here and combine it with what you've learned from your employees and candidates. Then determine your objectives and come up with strategies to accomplish them. Make sure they're realistic. Bring in somebody from each department to brainstorm and provide feedback. This shouldn't just be managers, but can be people from all organizational levels. In fact, it's probably better if managers aren't there so that everyone can speak freely. Once you've come up with an actionable plan, create goals for implementation and continually collect feedback from employees and candidates to make sure you're measuring progress. It can take years to build a strong brand, but only seconds to destroy it. So this cycle of collecting feedback, implementing changes and collecting more feedback will ensure that you're improving your employer brand and attracting and retaining the best talent. Read on for a few ways to improve your employee and candidate experience.
Employee Experience
According to a Manpower survey of over 20,000 job quitters, money is only the third most common reason people quit. Ranking before it is limited career opportunities and lack of respect and support from a supervisor. What I find particularly interesting about this is that most people cite their supervisor as the reason they quit: either from lack of respect or support, lack of leadership, bad relations with supervisor, favoritism by supervisor and lack of recognition. These are all things you should ask about during your survey, and address in your strategy. Put this feedback into your culture and vision, and make sure change starts at the top. The senior executives, especially your CEO, must be on board with this effort and your employees need to buy in to it. Not only will this help you retain them, it will help you recruit new top talent into your organization. This brings us to discuss your candidate experience.
Candidate Experience
The candidate experience often has multiple touch points, and many opportunities to make a wrong move. Here are some general guidelines:
- Be clear in your initial communications about what you're looking for. This includes responsibilities, location, salary, required skills, desired skills, benefits and hours. They'll find out sooner or later, so just be transparent upfront.
- Make it easy to apply. Take yourself through your application process to make sure that it's quick and easy to apply, and make sure that passive candidates can apply without a resume.
- Acknowledge receipt of all applications you receive, and communicate about next steps.
- Follow up when you say you will, letting each candidate know whether they will go on to the next step of the process, or not.
- Try to be flexible with interviews – some people will be employed and don't want to jeopardize their current position. This can help you reach those top candidates, or at least not deter them and allow your competitor to scoop them up. Be open to video interviews, or interviewing after business hours.
- Be open and honest during interviews, let the candidates know about next steps, and follow up when you say you will (even if just to say that you're still making the decision).
The point is, at each step of the recruitment process, you need to tell every single candidate whether they're moving on to the next step of the process or not. Technology can really help you here.
