Our History
In 1919, a year after the Armistice which ended the terrible carnage of the Great War, a lady was visiting a local Ministry of Pensions Hospital. She asked the matron if, by chance, she still had any wounded servicemen under treatment. 'Six hundred' came the bleak reply. The lady, Miss Marta Cunningham, a famous singer, was horrified and soon discovered that in fact there were many thousands of badly wounded men lying in hospitals up and down the country, bored, lonely and in pain.
On 12th August 1920 Miss Cunningham established The "NOT FORGOTTEN" Association with the object of providing entertainment and recreation for the war wounded to alleviate the tedium of their lives and give them something to which they could look forward. By 1927 some 85,000 people had been entertained outside the hospitals.
In 1926 the Association officially defined its task as being 'to provide comfort, cheer and entertainment for the wounded ex-servicemen still in hospital as a result of the Great War'. As the years went on the Association has adapted to meet changing needs and extended its activities to include those wounded in more recent conflicts. We continue to provide support to approximately 12,000 men and women each year.
HRH Princess Mary, later The Princess Royal, became the Association's first patron and remained so for the rest of her life. She was succeeded by HRH The Duchess of Kent who remained Patron until 2000. HRH The Princess Royal became our Patron in 2000 and continues as such today.
More about Marta Cunningham
Miss Marta Cunningham, Founder of The Not Forgotten Association, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in the United States and was educated at the Convent of Notre Dame in Baltimore. She went on to receive vocal training from internationally famed teachers of singing in France, Switzerland, Germany and England. Her first appearance as a soprano soloist was in the Coronation concert at the Crystal Palace in August 1901. From 1910 to 1912 she established regular 'matinees musicales' at Claridges Hotel in London and during the Great War she was active in charity and canteen work.

Mathematics Preservice Teachers' Beliefs and Conceptions of Appropriate Technology Use Article
Patrick Wachira, Cleveland State University, United States ; Jared Keengwe, Grace Onchwari, University of North Dakota, United States
AACE Journal Volume 16, Number 3, ISSN 1065-6901 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
Many preservice teachers report having had little exposure on the use of technology in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Without guidance on the appropriate use of technology, prospective teachers are left to form their own beliefs about what is appropriate technology use. This study assessed preservice teacher beliefs and conceptions of appropriate use of technology in mathematics teaching and learning. Findings indicate that preservice teachers generally did not share the vision of appropriate use of technology in Mathematics (as provided in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM] Standards) to support and facilitate conceptual development, exploration, reasoning and problem solving. Preservice teachers' beliefs and conceptions of appropriate technology use were limited to the use of technology as computational tools and for checking accuracy of these computations. Evidence from this study suggests a lack of understanding of technology as powerful tools to help students gain knowledge, skills, and appreciation of mathematics.

Nice funny super bowl commercials
The Acura NSX Concept is rumored to be a 400+hp AWD hybrid supercar, now whether the Hybrid version of this car ends up in production, remains to be seen, but any TRUE car-fanatic wouldn't care, because this car is awesome. Check out what Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno Have to say about it…
The 2013 Acura NSX will feature all-wheel drive with Acura perhaps learning a lesson from rival Audi , who's perfected the idea. Like its namesake predecessors, the 2013 Acura NSX will feature a mid-mounted V6 engine, but unlike them, it will have a 7-velocity transmission integrated with electric motors to drive the rear wheels and another pair of independent electric motors up front to Strength the front wheels. This gives the car a lot of advantages.
Not only that. Reported from Detroit Auto Show, The All-New 2013 Acura RDX comes with more compact interior design and longer than the 2012 model. Then to provide better comfort to the driver, Honda has provided New Suspension and Electric Power Steering on 2013 Acura RDX. Especially, for better calm, Active Noise Cancellation will be present and serves to mute the cockpit.
The NSX Concept rides on a 101.3-inch wheelbase and is 75 inches wide. It features a low nose, low cowl and thin A-pillars.
What Acura has to say:
Acura Debuts Three New Vehicles at the 2012 North American International Auto Show
Acura NSX Concept
The dynamically-styled NSX Concept gives an indication of the next great performance vehicle from the Acura brand. Making use of lightweight materials & a mid-mounted V-6 engine – the NSX Concept employs several new technologies for Acura – including application of Acura's innovative new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® (Super Handling All Wheel Drive™) hybrid system.
Utilizing a unique 2 Electric Motor Drive Unit with a Bilateral Torque Adjustable Control System – the all-new hybrid all-wheel-drive system can instantly generate negative or positive torque to the front wheels during cornering. Acura anticipates the new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® will deliver handling performance unmatched by previous AWD systems. In addition to the handling benefits of the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® system – a powerful next-generation VTEC® V-6 engine with direct-injection works in concert with a dual clutch transmission with built-in electric motor to create supercar acceleration while offering outstanding efficiency.
"This Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system will make NSX the ultimate expression of Acura's idea to create synergy between man and machine," said Takanobu Ito – president and CEO of Honda Motor Co. – Ltd. "The NSX will make the driver one with the car to enhance dynamic driving abilities without getting in the way."
While most supercars opt for brute force delivered from a large engine – the NSX Concept champions the true racing philosophy of an extremely favorable power-to-weight ratio.
"Like the first NSX – we will again express high performance through engineering efficiency," added Ito – who led the development of Acura's first NSX supercar. "In this new era – even as we focus on the fun to drive spirit of the NSX – I think a supercar must respond positively to environmental responsibilities."
The new Acura supercar – expected to debut in the next three years – will be developed by an engineering team led by Honda R&D Americas – Inc. – and manufactured in Ohio – at a yet to be named facility.

|All Recent SEC Filings
Quarterly Report
This information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The following discussion and analysis includes historical and certain forward-looking information that should be read together with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, related footnotes and the discussion below of certain risks and uncertainties that could cause future operating results to differ materially from historical results or from the expected results indicated by forward-looking statements.
Business Overview
Where Food Comes From, Inc. is a leading provider of verification and communication solutions for the agriculture, livestock and food industry. We provide our owned and operated online products and services which specialize in identification and traceability, process/production-practice/supply verification, document control for United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") and other verification programs and third party auditing services. Our services ensure compliance with governmental and private standards by providing transparency and value in food products for both producers and consumers world-wide.
In late 2012, we changed our corporate name from Integrated Management Information, Inc. ("IMI") to Where Food Comes From, Inc. to better reflect our brand strategy and to raise awareness in the investor community. We are listed on the over-the-counter electronic bulletin board ("OTC:BB") under the stock ticker symbol "WFCF."
Management's Strategy
For several years, management focused its efforts on building a strong foundation, to enhance profitability for the long term. Initially our efforts focused on our age and source verification services. Throughout 2009, we introduced a more robust offering of verification services. We also internally developed automated processes which improved our efficiency and reduced our employee headcount. As a direct result, total verification sales and hardware sales improved. We were able to provide more verification certifications (a multiple service offering) in a single audit, but while this type of service results in an increase in revenue; it also has a lower profit margin as compared to our single service offerings. Interestingly enough, because our customers were seeing more profit per head from multiple verifications at a minimal increase in cost per verification service, they increased the number of cattle within each group audited. We benefitted from increased hardware sales which has higher profit margins due to our process automation.
In early 2009, we understood that all this work was necessary to build a solid foundation but we also recognized a "potential market saturation and decreasing profits dilemma" early on and began working toward a solution. Through our research and development, we learned that we needed to be on the cutting edge of this industry and that the most significant person to influence the food industry was the consumer. We were concerned about various food claims that the industry made without any third party verification. In response, we identified opportunities for horizontal and vertical integration. In addition to our current business structure, we knew we needed to develop a self-sustaining revenue stream with minimal management and labor costs, while simultaneously addressing food concerns near to our heart. We had built a company with strong credibility in the industry, and we had the technical expertise to make our processes operate very efficiently. The opportunities that we identified in early 2009 are built upon the verification services we provide and the solid reputation we have built.
In early 2010, we began to see some of the fruits of our labor. We were able to connect food processors and packers to those suppliers that provided product verified for the specific credence attributes demanded, thereby generating a new revenue stream based upon coordination within the food supply chain. We also introduced the WhereFoodComesFrom« brand. Revenue generated from this program is based upon a similar supply chain sales model. Many long hours of research went into this project and currently we are working hard to market this program to the consumer. Research indicates that transparency in food production is becoming more and more important to consumers. We believe that the future growth of verification services will be achieved only through consumer awareness and demand. The WhereFoodComesFrom« brand is a labeling program that reconnects the consumer to the farmers and ranchers that produce the food. For the consumer, it is a seal of approval on a package or an individual product that provides assurance that the source of origin is known, authentic and verified by an accredited, unbiased third party. Our two most significant customers for our WhereFoodComesFrom« brand are Heinen's Fine Foods and Delmonico's representing industry leaders focused on providing superior quality and value-added services.
In 2010, management, along with the assistance of industry consulting experts, intentionally made the decision to invest heavily in marketing our services and our WhereFoodComesFrom« labeling program to build consumer awareness. We still continue to invest heavily in marketing our verification services and our WhereFoodComesFrom« brand to build consumer awareness and demand through the use of videos, television exposure, word-of-mouth and the internet.
Today, consumers are becoming more educated about food choices. Factors such as the carbon footprint that a particular food represents are playing an increasing role in consumers' decision making. Food safety also plays a significant role in consumer preferences. In recent years, demand increased for livestock identification due to concerns regarding bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease). With all of the food recalls, fraudulent food labeling and other food scares (spinach, jalapenos, tomatoes, hamburger, peanuts, horsemeat), consumers are spending their dollars more diligently. Our company strives to identify opportunities to develop verification programs in advance of market demand and we continue to offer competitively-priced, bundled solutions to our growing customer base. Frequently, those bundled solutions include our newest programs in order to address the most recent concerns in the food supply. At times, we may sacrifice short-term profits in order grow a bigger, stronger company for the long-term; and we believe, to help increase transparency in our food production.
Acquisition of Validus Verification Services LLC
As part of our business strategy, we regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities as a means of accelerating our growth and achieving our long-term strategic objectives.
On September 16, 2013, we entered into an Asset Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Validus Verification Services LLC (the "Buyer" or "Validus"), and Praedium Ventures, LLC, formerly known as Validus Ventures LLC (the "Seller").
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, WFCF caused Validus to be organized to purchase and acquire certain audit, assessment and verification business assets of the Seller. The Company acquired a 60% interest in Validus in exchange for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.5 million, which included $565,000 in cash and 708,681 shares (the "Shares") of common stock of WFCF valued at approximately $940,000 based upon the closing price of our stock on September 16, 2013, of $1.32 per share. The Company has the first right of refusal on the remaining 40% of the outstanding stock.
We believe that Validus is the leading dairy, pork and poultry certifiers in the United States and represents an opportunity to extend the range of our existing programs and establish our capabilities in other major food groups. As a result of this acquisition, we believe we are now positioned to offer our customers new solutions across the verification and certification spectrum. We also believe it provides diversification for our company, enables us to better serve our customers, and provides another avenue for our WFCF program.
Current Marketplace Opportunities
We believe the following marketplace opportunities will drive our business forward, effectively increasing consumer demand for third party verification services:
Ģ U.S. beef has been largely absent from the EU for the past 20+ years due to an EU ban on hormone-treated meat and meat products. In late 2009, the EU announced an annual duty-free quota of 20,000 metric tons for high-quality beef from cattle not treated with growth hormones ("NHTC"). In March 2012, the EU expanded the annual duty-free quota from 20,000 metric tons to 48,200 metric tons. NHTC requires third party verification, but with duty-free access lowering the cost of doing business in Europe, we believe that it offers significantly more potential for third party NHTC verification services and our product line, High Quality Beef verification services. In October 2013, the U.S. signed a two-year extension to the existing trade agreement with the European Union regarding zero-tariffs for beef from non-hormone treated cattle, which means that demand for NHTC will continue.
Ģ One-fourth of the world's beef and nearly one-fifth of the world's grain, milk and eggs are produced in the United States. With increased consumer consciousness, Americans are demanding to know where their food comes from and how they can support development of local and regional food systems. We believe that as consumers become better educated they will have more confidence in their food purchase decisions. To date, we have a major retailer, a very well-known restaurant, two major beef packers, a food service distributor and a major pork packer utilizing the Where Food Comes From« label. Consumer demand should accelerate the growth of our "Where Food Comes From«" labeling program.
Ģ The worldwide market for certified organic products was estimated at $59.4 billion in 2010. The U.S. market was estimated at $28.5 billion in 2010 and is expected to reach $42.5 billion by 2015. Increasing consumer demand for healthy, better-for-you products produced with sustainable agricultural practices is driving growth in the organic market. Additionally, specialty food-store chains, conventional grocery store chains and big box retailers are allocating more shelf space to organic products in order to meet the growing demand. Our acquisition of a 60% ownership investment in ICS created a strategic transaction offering major participants in the food and agriculture industries a comprehensive range of verification services for the major food groups through a single platform.
Ģ In January 2011, the Food Safety Modernization Act ("FSMA") was signed into law by President Obama. FSMA represents the most sweeping reform of our food safety laws in more than 70 years. It aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus from responding to contamination to preventing it. On January 4, 2013, two major proposed FSMA rules regarding preventive controls in human food and produce safety were issued. The proposed rules build on existing voluntary industry guidelines for food safety, which many producers, growers and others currently follow. The US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") expects to soon issue its proposed rule on importer foreign supplier verification; future proposed rules will address preventive controls for animal food, and accreditation of third-party auditors.
Ģ Effective March 11, 2013, the USDA mandated the Animal Disease Traceability Rule primarily covering cattle 18 months of age or older. This ruling solidifies the need for beef producers to participate in a national animal identification program. This presents a significant opportunity for our business. As a result, we have been participating in an industry-led coalition to offer private industry solutions for this ruling.
Current Business Impact for Source and Age Verified Product
On January 28, 2013, the Japanese government announced a change to its import requirements on US beef. Cattle must be 30 months of age or less at time of harvest, which is an increase from 21 months previously. This change allowed for age to be determined using a method called dentition, which can be done in the processing facility and doesn't require actual records for the age to be verified.
Speculation surrounding this change negatively impacted our source and age verification business beginning in the latter half of 2012, first quarter 2013, and we expect it to continue throughout 2013. The change enabled a significant increase in the amount of product qualifying for export to Japan and accordingly, has negatively impacted the premiums typically seen in the marketplace for source and age verified cattle.
Due to the diversification of our product offerings and our strategy of managing to profitability, we were able to quickly minimize the impact of these adverse changes. We also believe our acquisition of the Validus auditing business further enhances our diversification by expanding our services to dairy and poultry products.
Many Japanese retail and food service companies have expressed their desire to maintain a verified-only product line to ensure a known source and a high quality eating experience. This alone will continue to drive added value for source and age-verified product.
We continue to see growth in our NHTC and Verified Natural Beef ("VNB") programs as domestic customers shift from source and age verification to NHTC and VNB. Additionally, we are seeing an increase in the number of "source verifications" requested in international markets. Although we cannot forecast the long-term impact of the change in "age verifications," we also cannot assume that Japan will change its requirement for source verification from US beef producers, especially considering that Japan has domestic traceability laws.
In summary, we know the inherent value of source and age verifications and the resulting peace of mind that is provided at the consumer level. We believe that the demand for verification, whether at the base level (source and age verification) or at a level that incorporates multiple credence factors (source and age with NHTC and VNB), will continue to grow as more consumers demand to know where their food comes from.
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of our revenues are typically realized during the second and third quarters of the fiscal year when the calf marketings and the growing seasons are at their peak. Because of the seasonality of the business and our industry, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for any other quarter or for the full fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,037,584 compared to $1,403,489 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012. Our working capital at September 30, 2013 was $1,514,604 compared to $1,715,074 at December 31, 2012.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year to date period ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $174,994 compared to net cash provided of approximately $317,877 during the same period in 2012. Net cash provided by operating activities is driven by our net income (loss) and adjusted by non-cash items. Non-cash adjustments primarily include depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock based compensation expense and deferred taxes. The decrease in cash provided by operations is due to costs, such as legal and consulting fees, incurred directly related to the acquisition of Validus of approximately $219,000, which were expensed as incurred as required by current accounting literature. Other fluctuations are a result of timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements offset by operating performance.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year to date period ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $593,900 compared to net cash provided of approximately $31,800 in the 2012 period. Net cash used in the third quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Validus acquisition (see Note 2 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements) in which we paid $565,000 in cash. Net cash provided in the 2012 period was directly related to proceeds on the sale of marketable securities.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year to date period ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $53,000 compared to $31,100 in the 2012 period. Net cash provided in the third quarter of 2013 was due to proceeds of $105,300 from stock option exercises offset by stock repurchases of $29,555 and repayments towards notes payable and capital lease obligations of approximately $22,700.
Historically, our growth has been funded through a combination of convertible debt from private investors and private placement offerings. We continually evaluate all funding options including additional offerings of our securities to private, public and institutional investors and other credit facilities as they become available.
The primary driver of our operating cash flow is our third-party verification solutions, specifically the gross margin generated from services provided. Therefore we focus on the elements of those operations including revenue growth and long term projects that ensure a steady stream of operating profits to enable us to meet our cash obligations. On a weekly basis we review the performance of each of our revenue streams focusing on third party verification solutions compared with prior periods and our operating plan. We believe that our various sources of capital, including cash flow from operating activities, overall improvement in our performance, and our ability to obtain additional financing are adequate to finance current operations as well as the repayment of current debt obligations. We are not aware of any other event or trend that would negatively affect our liquidity. In the event such a trend develops, we believe that there are sufficient financing avenues available to us and from our internal cash generating capabilities to adequately manage our ongoing business.
The culmination of all our efforts toward net income has brought opportunities to us including: increased investor confidence and renewed interest in our company, third-party interest in our expertise to develop and enhance websites, as well as the potential to develop business relationships with long term strategic partners. In keeping with our core business, we will continue to review our business model with a focus on profitability, long term capital solutions and the potential impact of acquisitions or divestitures, if such an opportunity arises.
Our plan for continued growth is primarily based upon acquisitions as well as intensifying our focus on international markets. We believe that there are significant growth opportunities available to us because often the only means to entry as imposed on international market imports/exports is via a quality verification program.
Debt Facility
On April 22, 2011, we entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration Note with Great Western Bank. The Note which matures on May 1, 2021 provides for $200,000 in additional working capital. The interest rate on the Note is at prime plus 2.5% and is adjusted quarterly. Principal and interest are payable monthly. The note can be prepaid without penalties and contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants.
The loan agreement is secured by the accounts receivable, property and equipment, and intangible assets of the Company. The Note is further guaranteed by John and Leann Saunders, founders of the Company, with a security interest in 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which are personally owned by the Saunders.
In September 2013, the Company issued 175,972 shares of the Company's common stock in full settlement of the Lapaseotes note payable (as further discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements). Approximately $14,700 in non-cash interest expense was recognized and is reported in the Company's net loss for the nine months and year to date period ended September 30, 2013.
ICS has a revolving line of credit ("LOC") agreement which matures on April 4, 2014, and provides for $70,050 in working capital. The interest rate is at the bank index rate less 0.5% and is adjusted daily. Interest is calculated using a 360 day year. Principal and interest are payable upon demand, but if demand is not made, then annual payments of accrued interest only is due, with the principal balance due on maturity. The LOC is collateralized by all the business assets of ICS.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements of any type.
Both the ICS and Validus acquisitions (as further described in Note 2 to the financial statements) have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, results are included in the following discussion from the date of acquisition.
Third Quarter and Year to Date Period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the Same Period in Fiscal Year 2012
Total revenues for the third quarter and year to date period ended September 30, 2013 decreased 4.5% and 5.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012.
Service revenues include sales of our USVerified solutions and related consulting, program development and web-based development services. Service revenues of approximately $1,181,800 and $3,099,000 for the third quarter and year to date period ended September 30, 2013 decreased approximately $55,400, or 4.5%, and $156,300, or 4.8%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2012. Overall, the decrease is due to the changes in Japanese government imposed age restrictions on US beef imports, which has negatively impacted our source and age verification business, offset by Validus revenues of approximately $93,400 for the two week period from acquisition date to September 30, 2013. The Company continues to strategically negate the adverse effect Japan's change in regulations has had on our service revenues by expanding our portfolio of offerings to our existing customer base, as well as increasing our competitive edge with potential new customers.
Product sales represent sales of cattle identification ear tags. Product sales of approximately $263,300 and $544,200 for the third quarter and year to date period ended September 30, 2013 decreased approximately $5,400, or 2.0%, and $81,800 or 13.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. The decrease was due to decreased volume in the quantity of tags sold in connection with our Source and Age verification programs.
Other revenue primarily represents the fees earned from our WFCF labeling program. Other revenue of approximately $25,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013, decreased $14,200 or 36.1% compared to the same period in 2012. Other revenue for the year to date period ended September 30, 2013 of approximately $93,200 slightly increased $2,900 or 3.2% compared to same period in 2012. This revenue source is still in its infancy and we anticipate growth in the future as more and more food producers continue to show interest in this product offering.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $755,500 compared to approximately $742,200 during the third quarter 2012. Gross margin for the third quarter 2013 decreased to 48.6% of revenues compared to 52.0% for the third quarter 2012.
Cost of sales for the year to date period ended September 30, 2013, were approximately $1,828,000 compared to $1,841,800 during 2012. Gross margin for the year to date period ended September 30, 2013 decreased to 51.1% of revenues compared to 53.6% for the year to date period ended September 30, 2012.
Our margins are impacted by various costs such as cost of products, salaries and benefits, insurance, and taxes. Because certain elements of our cost of revenues are fixed in nature, incremental sales positively impact our margins. Conversely, our gross margins for third quarter 2013 slightly declined compared to 2012, predominately due to the absorption of increases in our fixed costs (salaries, payroll taxes and medical insurance) over a slightly smaller revenue base.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2013 were approximately $715,700, an increase of $29,100, or 4.2% over the third quarter 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year to date period ended September 30, 2013 were $1,905,900, an increase of $150,100, or 8.5% over 2012.
There are several factors contributing to these overall increases. First, and primarily, the Validus acquisition, which was completed September 16, 2013, resulted in legal and advisory fees of approximately $219,000, which was significantly higher than acquisition costs related to ICS during the same periods last year. In addition, included in our 2013 selling, general and administrative expenses is approximately $25,500 attributable to Validus. These increases were partially offset by our aggressive approach to minimize expenses in response to the impact of Japanese government imposed age restrictions on US beef imports to our operations.
Income Tax Benefit/Expense
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded an income tax benefit of $11,000 and income tax expense of approximately $46,500, respectively. For the year to date period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded income tax benefit of $12,200 and $363,000, respectively. The income tax benefit for the 2012 period included the effect of reversing $409,500 of our valuation allowance that existed as of December 31, 2011 after concluding the likelihood for a full realization of the benefits of our deferred tax assets was more likely than not.

And if you know the answer, you'll understand what I mean when I say "God doesn't make short-term plans."
And aren't you glad that His plans include you?
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:11-13).
Adam, God made out of dust;
(But he) Thought it best to make me first.
So I was made before man
To answer God's Holy plan.
A living being I became
And Adam gave me my name;
I from his presence withdrew
And more of Adam never knew.
I did my Maker's law obey
Nor ever went from it astray;
Thousands of miles I go in fear
But seldom on earth do appear.
For a purpose wise which God did set,
He put a living soul in me
A soul from me God did claim
And took from me the soul again.
So when from me the soul had fled,
I was the same as when first I was made;
And without hands, feet or soul
I travel from pole to pole
To labor hard by day, by night
To fallen man I give great light.
Thousands of people young and old
Will by my death great light behold
No wrong or right can I conceive
The Scripture I cannot believe;
Although my name therein is found
They are to me an empty sound.
No fear of death doth trouble me,
Real happiness I will never see;
To heaven I shall never go
Or to Hell that is below;
Now when these lines you slowly read,
Go search our Bible with all your speed,
For that my name is written there
I do honestly to you declare.
There may be times when we can't understand the formulation of His plans for us. The present situation may be hard to accept, much less to be thankful for.
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV).
That's where trusting God really comes into play. It's more than singing the song, "Trust and Obey," with thoughts of the blessings which come from obedience to the Word.
In reading Hebrews 11, we see heroes of faith — Abraham, Sarah, Noah, Moses, Jacob, Joseph and others. But their faith did not lead them through easy paths to great rewards. The chapter also talks about their suffering and sacrifice in obeying. They trusted in God's plans for their lives.
That's what we, as His children, must do, also. God has us in His plans. Let's give thanks that His thoughts concerning us will bring us to the place He wants us to be.

Skipton v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc. et al
Filing 16
ORDER re 9 MOTION to Remand to State Court filed by Therese Skipton. Plaintiffs Motion to Remand to State Court is GRANTED. FURTHER, the Clerk of the Court is instructed to REMAND this case back to the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c). Signed by Chief Judge David R. Herndon on 4/1/2013. (dsw)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EAST ST. LOUIS DIVISION ______________________________________________________________________________ IN RE PRADAXA ) MDL No. 2385 (DABIGATRAN ETEXILATE) ) 3:12-md-02385-DRH-SCW PRODUCTS LIABILITY ) Judge David R. Herndon LITIGATION ) ______________________________________________________________________________ This Document Relates to: Therese Skipton v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al No. 3:13-cv-60012-DRH-SCW Billie S. Hilton v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al No. 3:13-cv-60013-DRH-SCW Heidi Markus as Personal Representative of the estate of Gertraud Steinback and Individually v. Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al No. 3:13-cv-60014-DRH-SCW ORDER GRANTING REMAND TO STATE COURT Herndon, Chief Judge: The above captioned cases were initially filed in Delaware State Court. One of the defendants, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("BIPI") removed each case to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (1360012 Doc. 1; 13-60013 Doc. 1; 13-60014 Doc. 1) on the basis of diversity of citizenship (none of the plaintiffs are citizens of Delaware, BIPI is a citizen of Delaware, and the remaining defendants are foreign entities). Id. BIPI removed each action prior to service of process and therefore argued that the forum defendant rule did not bar removal. Id. Subsequently, each plaintiff filed a motion 1 to remand to state court (13-60012 Docs. 9,10; 13-60013 Docs. 6,7; 13-60014 Docs. 6,7) and BIPI opposed (13-60012 Doc. 11; 13-60013 Doc. 9; 13-60014 Doc. 15). On March 28, 2013, an order from the Multidistrict Litigation Panel, transferring the above referenced cases to this Multidistrict Litigation, was filed with the Court. Shortly before the transfer order was docketed with the Court, BIPI filed notices of non-opposition to the above captioned plaintiffs' motions to remand to state Court. Accordingly, the pending motions to remand are no longer in dispute. The Court therefore ORDERS as follows: The above referenced plaintiffs' motions to remand to state court are GRANTED. FURTHER, the Clerk of the Court is instructed to REMAND the above referenced cases back to the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c). Lastly, the Court will not award attorneys' fees and costs associated with Plaintiff's Motion to Remand. Plaintiff's memorandum fails to address the issue and the Court finds the matter waived. IT IS SO ORDERED. Digitally signed by David R. Herndon Date: 2013.04.01 11:28:03 -05'00' Chief Judge United States District Court Date: April 1, 2013 2

A Celebration of Wild Salmon Plus a Food Gal Giveaway
Monday, 18. August 2014 5:25
Every summer, I look forward to heirloom tomatoes, peaches, plums, and one other very special item:
Wild local King salmon.
Like fruits and vegetables, seafood also has a season. For California wild salmon, it's summer. And it ends all too soon for my liking.
Indeed, get your fill now because the season will soon come to a close toward the end of September.
There's nothing like eating salmon in summer with its bright reddish orange flesh that tastes downright luxurious. To be sure, it's not an inexpensive ingredient at $25 or more per pound. But it tastes far more expensive than that with its unbelievably lush texture and resonating flavor that just fills your mouth like a dream.
I like to enjoy it simply. Sashimi-style, when you can really taste the fat and freshness. Or grilled, with a kiss of smoke to heighten its robust richness.

I spotted this Memphis BBQ pulled pork burger at a Carl's Jr. the other week. Carl's Jr. spokeswoman Beth Mansfield confirmed that the company is "testing a burger with pulled pork on top of it."
She declined to comment further. When asked, she couldn't confirm the sale of baked potatoes in some restaurants. Â However, several readers have spotted a few Carl's Jr. restaurants, including one in Santa Ana, selling various types of baked potatoes.
The Memphis Burger cost: $3.79. Want to try it? I found it at the chain's flagship Anaheim restaurant on Harbor Boulevard near the (91) Freeway. Address: 1200 North Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim.
Coming tomorrow: A closer look at new summer menu items.

DENVER — The best spies in the NFL these days aren't behind enemy lines but on the quarterback's own side of the ball.
Every game, two of his interior offensive linemen are miked up for network TV, bringing the sounds of the game to millions of viewers — and future opponents — who hear the signal-caller's cadence, codes and cues, all of which are enshrouded in an increasing amount of gibberish.
Just about every quarterback is doing his best Peyton Manning imitation at the line of scrimmage these days because of increasingly complex offences and the league's seemingly innocuous decision to move the umpire for safety reasons in 2010.
Switching the umpire from the defensive backfield to the offensive backfield in 2010 posed a problem for the NFL: these officials wore microphones and essentially served as the networks' on-field boom operators. That was no longer possible with the umpire stationed deep behind the quarterback instead of in front of him, so last season the league put microphones on centres and guards.
Now, everybody can listen in on everything that's being said before the snap.
"Defensive guys appreciate that," Denver defensive co-ordinator Jack Del Rio said. "You get all the quarterback's cadence. Quarterbacks and centres don't like it. Offensive co-ordinators don't like it. By miking the centre and the guards, we're hearing the quarterback every snap. So, it's entertaining for the fans but it's also informative for the defences."
Still, before pass-happy offences and miked-up linemen, it used to be a lot easier for defenders to figure out what the quarterback was up to.
"Yeah, because you'd have guys from another team that would come to your team and tell you stuff and most of it stayed true," Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said. "But you can't do that anymore because every week people are changing the terms. You've got to be a sharp guy to play in the league these days."
When you've got guys like Peyton Manning, who's so smart, you kind of know that he might be talking garbage so you don't want to pay too much attention to that. But to be honest, it does catch your attention
Tune into any game and you'll see gesticulating quarterbacks using frenetic hand signals and hollering a string of phrases, much of it outright hogwash — "dummy" calls designed to trick defences and hide the offence's intentions. Teams change their code words week to week, even series to series.
While fans are all tuned in to this quarterback gobbledygook, many defenders are tuning it out, focusing on other signs like player movements and alignments to help them decipher play calls.
"I'm not really listening," Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata said. "I'm just focusing on what I have to do and get off on the ball."
Sometimes, you can't help but start to wonder, though, said his teammate, cornerback Corey Graham.
"When you've got guys like Peyton Manning, who's so smart, you kind of know that he might be talking garbage so you don't want to pay too much attention to that. But to be honest, it does catch your attention as a DB," Graham said. "When you see a quarterback out there saying a bunch of gibberish and pointing at your receiver, you're like, 'Aw shoot, what the heck is going on? I think I'm going to back up a little bit.' It does tend to make you think that they're up to something."
While coaching staffs study the TV broadcasts to pick up clues about a quarterback's calls and cadence, players find it harder to cut through the fluff and filler.
"I'm telling you, it's tough. You can't look into it," Bailey said. "It's good for people at home to see what the quarterbacks say, but anymore it's hard to decode that."

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- The Kansas Senate Minority leader has raised questions about the chairman of the state Senate Education Committee's decision to send education bills to other committees for consideration.
Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, says Education Committee Chairman Sen. Steve Abrams has bypassed his own panel with some education bills, including a charter school bill and a measure overhauling teacher licensure.
The Topeka-Capital Journal reports Hensley emailed his concerns to the Senate committee and included a list of school finance bills that went to the Education Committee last year.
Abrams, an Arkansas City Republican, says Senate Leadership placed many of the bills in the Ways and Means Committee and the teacher licensure bill's in the Ways and Means Committee because it'll end up in an omnibus bill.

Home>Broadband>Broadband Guides>Naked DSL - How it Works
Summary: All you need to know about Naked DSL and how it works. Naked DSL is becoming more and more mainstream everyday as consumers desert their home phone landline rental and switch to Naked DSL.
Cameron Craig
| 3 July 2013
Naked DSL is becoming more and more mainstream everyday as consumers desert their home phone landline rental and switch to Naked DSL.
If you've seen the advertisements but still need to know a little bit more, we've explained Naked DSL below and whether it might be for you.
First, let's pay tribute to the naming of Naked DSL. There are thousands of technology products on the market, but few sound as cool as Naked DSL. Hat's off to the technology marketers on this one.
The 'Naked' origin of the name means that you do not have to pay for the 'line rental' on a home phone connection to access the internet with a broadband plan (see diagrams below).
The 'DSL' means that it is a broadband service called 'Digital Subscriber Line' which means that you are getting broadband through your phone (that's the simple explanation), however you can also get Naked Cable Broadband from Optus.
Put them together and you have Naked DSL where your existing copper phone line provides broadband access, but you don't have to pay a fee for monthly line rental.
For a typical ADSL broadband connection, the normal copper wire phone line into your home is activated for broadband at the central telephone exchange and you can get a broadband service into your home. You plug an ADSL modem into the wall for your broadband, and you can still make regular phone calls through the line.
With all home phone connections in Australia, you 'rent' the copper line to your house for a fixed monthly fee of say $29.95 per month so you can make phone calls, and you pay for the calls you make on top of this fixed amount, either by 'pay as you go' or by singing up to a calling plan.
You then also pay for your broadband plan. In essence, you've got three billing events - the line rental, then the calls you make on your home phone, and your broadband bill (you might get these all bundled into one plan / bill from your carrier). When all of these services are together in one package, this is called a 'bundle' and you'll get a discount of some sort, depending on the carrier.
The important thing to remember is that the central component of a standard broadband product is that you've got a fully functioning home phone telephone line for voice calls and an internet service, all active on the one line.
With Naked DSL, you save money by not having to pay for the line rental on a voice service. This means you don't have to pay the $29.95 per month for the phone line as you are removing your standard voice line service, hence the idea of a 'naked' product, one without a traditional voice service. The physical line stays in place, it is just not rented by you for voice services.
You can still make and receive phone calls, but these phone calls are part of your Broadband DSL service in that making and receiving calls are part of the internet package, as you are not paying for a standard phone service. Your internet provider is now providing your new voice call service through VOIP (which means Voice Over the Internet) rather than the voice calls via the old telephone exchange (if you have used Skype, you've used this type of service before).
The great innovation with Naked DSL in recent times is that make these calls over the internet through a phone handset which looks just like your old home phone. The benefit of Naked DSL is that your carrier might now offer free local and national calls with some Naked Broadband plans as the calls are now routed via the internet and not via your traditional service.
The most confusing part of the Naked DSL product suite is what you imagine might happen to your phone line if and when you cancel your phone service.
The answer is that you won't notice anything physical. The copper line still exists into your house and your normal phone sockets remain 'as is'. You plug your new Naked DSL modem and VOIP router into the same sockets as a regular phone. The difference that you'll see is that when you do make phone calls, your calls will be routed over the internet. There may also be some set up costs with your new Naked Broadband plan and a line activation cost (depending on ISP and contract term) so be aware of that when deciding on Naked DSL.

Welcome to Shelby County Shooting Sports
by: R.A. Soldivera
1. The epitome of athletic achievement is the Olympiad! This sport is an olympic event. Only two other sports attract more participating countries.
2. Generally speaking, if a young man or woman is not proficient in a sport by the time they enter high school, there is little or no chance that they will be permitted to participate in a school sport. This sport does not require previous experience. As a matter of fact, it is very possible for a person to start in this sport as a high school junior and compete on a national level before they enter college.
3. In some sports an athlete's peak performance will ebb at 16 years of age, other sports at 20, and still others at 28 or even 30 years of age, but beyond the age of 30, an athlete is definitely "over the hill." Not in this sport. This sport has had a national champion who was over 60 years old and also a 16 year-old, and every age in between.
4. There are girl's sports and boy's sports, but this sport is both.
5. There are indoor sports and outdoor sports. This sport is both.
6. There are winter sports and summer sports. This sport is both (and is featured at both the Winter and Summer Olympics).
7. Football and basketball require teams, while an individual can compete in track. This sport offers individual participation, team participation, or both at the same time.
8. Chances are, the high schools in your area do not offer one sport with a zero injury record. Serious injury is a part of most sports. This sport is the safest of all sports.
9. Sports arenas, courses, courts, gymnasiums and the like, use up a great deal of real estate and may cost tens of millions of dollars. This sport requires little more than a 50 foot long by 20 foot wide room.
10. This is among the most disciplined of all sports. Many students report a marked improvement in their ability to concentrate when they apply the principles of this sport to their academic pursuits.
11. "PURITY" is a term used in sports to describe the degree of precision with which a physical function must be executed. This sport requires the highest degree of purity.
12. Sportsmanship: "quality and conduct of a person who accepts victory and defeat graciously." Sadly, in many sports it is not unusual to see one athlete physically attack another. To date there is no record of such behavior in this sport.
13. In most sports, people with personal physical challenges are treated like invalids, which, by the way, they resent. Not in this sport.
14. College scholarships are awarded in this sport (These scholarships can be won by both men and women on the same team.)
15. Qualifying for a team in other sports is not a guarantee that one will get a chance to play. Coaches enter their best athletes and the rest sit on the bench. In this sport, there are no benches; everyone participates.

Leadership Tools and Resources
ACNM is pleased to offer tools and resources to assist you in the role of Affiliate leader. If you need information about engaging members in your affiliate; using the affiliate portal; contacting the affiliate membership or just the leaders; setting up a website or using Go-To-Meeting, all of it can be found below.
Membership Recruitment
We are always looks for ways and ideas to improve services to the affiliate leaders. If you have an idea or a question, please email [email protected].
Membership RecruitmentIt is everyone's job to recruit members, as everyone benefits from more members and more resources. ACNM has developed an Affiliate Membership Toolkit to assist affiliate leaders in recruiting and retaining
members. We hope with a dual effort by
the national office and the affiliates, we will all be successful with
increasing our membership.
All of the items in the toolkit are editable so each affiliate can include affiliate-specific information. The toolkit includes:
The Affiliate Membership Toolkit was first introduced during the October, 2014 Affiliate Connections webinar. Access that webinar, and all Affiliate Connections, here.
Affiliate Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning is a process in which an organization sets priorities, focuses energy resources, and develops the goals of the organization. Strategic planning sets everyone in an organization moving in the same direction striving to achieve the Vision and Mission. Effective strategic planning articulates not only where an organization is going and the actions needed to make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful. This process is used to set the direction of the organization, but also to set legislative and advocacy goals.
ACNM has developed introductory guides to assist affiliate leaders strategy planning. Many affiliates are currently working strategically, but not formally with a 'strategic plan'. These guides are useful to affiliates just beginning the process or affiliates that want to formalize the work already in action.
Affiliate Guide to Advocacy Planning
Affiliate Meetings
Holding a meeting of the affiliate is a great way to engage the membership. Meetings can be business in nature or centered around education. Either way, a lot of work goes into the planning and execution of the meeting. Below please find information about the 'ins and outs' of planning a meeting; the different roles for volunteers and some ideas that will hopefully take the stress out of meeting planning. If you have any tips to add, please contact Christy Levine at [email protected]
Meeting Planning Tips
Affiliate PortalAre you communicating effectively with your affiliate members? It is crucial that affiliates maintain a regular flow of communication with their members, both to keep them in the loop with what is going on within the affiliate and to ensure that they feel included in the organization. Remember, many of these members were never chapter members before and affiliate membership is new to them. The ACNM Affiliate Portal provides affiliate officers with the up-to-date member information necessary to facilitate these communications.
Access the Affiliate Portal, where you can look up, download, and save data about your affiliate, by logging in to midwife.org at the top of the page using your username and password. Once you have successfully logged in, click "Edit My Profile." This takes you to a page that displays information about the affiliate. The link for the Affiliate Portal is along the right hand side of the page. Reports available to be run include:
Hint: To produce Export to CSV or Label reports that include all affiliate members do not make any selections in the Membership Category selection area. Only make selections in this area to exclude all unselected categories.
The affiliate portal allows
you to modify the reports generated to get the exact information you need.
Enrollment Dates
This report will give you the opportunity to reach out and welcome the new members to the affiliate, alert them to upcoming events and tell them of the different ways they can become involved in the affiliate. Reaching out to the members, especially new members, is the first step in engaging them.

Crowd Equity Will Not Live Up To The Hype
The JOBS Act reminds me of the old joke about the elephant and the blind men. An elephant looks very different depending upon which part you're touching. There's lots of hype around the concept of crowd equity for sure – almost breathless at times.

You Don't Have to Go to the Valley!
This morning there is a blog post circulating which states that to build a start up anywhere other than Silicon Valley is foolish. The post, which is presented in a highly respected outlet, states that by looking at financing patters in the venture capital industry a clear conclusion is reached. To grow a startup you must locate where the money is, and that is Silicon Valley. While this appears to be very sound logic, it is actually based upon an incorrect view of causality. … [Read more...]
