Candidates vie for votes in Wallowa County
ENTERPRISE — Candidates vying to represent District 58 in 2015-16 lobbied Wallowa County residents this week. The two Republicans, Greg Barreto of Cove and John Turner of Pendleton, will square off in May's primary election.
Both candidates met with Wallowa County voters at Cloud 9 Bakery this week in Enterprise.
Turner is retired from both the Marine Corps, where he served 28 years as an officer, and nine years as the president of Blue Mountain Community College. He said during his last four years in the Marines he ran a post-graduate program at the Marine Corps War College.
Education and job training are at the top of Turner's list to address if elected to represent Umatilla, Union and Wallowa counties in the state Legislature.
"The last four or five years, if not the last decade, have been tough times for higher education," Turner said. "We were able to keep all workforce training going at Blue Mountain, including our diesel mechanic tech program. Graduates from that program get jobs."
His emphasis in education, he said, is workforce development and community college job training.
"Not everyone wants to or needs to go on to a university to have a good life," he said.
Greg Barreto started his manufacturing company in La Grande 31 years ago, which now employs 76 people. He said his top priority if elected to the Legislature is to create an environment that will bring in business to Oregon.
"I'm a businessman, not a politician," Barreto said. "I want to make a difference and I know that is not an easy job. I've also learned it's not easy to run for office."
He said he's not up on the all of the topics important to the constituents of District 58 and was looking for input during his Wednesday morning visit to Enterprise.
"I'm a lifetime NRA member, pro-gun, pro-life, pro-family and pro-business," he said.
He said despite his integrity, he understands that to get work accomplished in Salem that people need to come together.
"If you don't work with people, they won't work with you, but I won't lose my conviction," Barreto said.
He said as a representative if he doesn't feel like he's making a difference, he won't run for re-election.
"This isn't another line on my resume. If I can't make a difference, there's no reason to stay in there," he said.
Barreto said he supports the transfer of federally managed public lands to the state or even the county as Idaho and Utah are trying to do. "I believe management should be on the most local level," he said.

This being a Michael Moore film, the filmmaker is as enraging as the subject: His belligerent court-jester shtick wears thin fast and undermines the segments on universal health-care systems in Canada, the U.K., France and Cuba. Every roll of the eyes, every mock-incredulous question, every hyperbolic expression of disbelief that other countries offer their citizens, rich and poor, comprehensive access to doctors and medication without driving them to despair and financial ruin is precious and grating. Worse are his relentlessly sunny depictions of systems that may serve more people more effectively than the cobbled-together U.S. tangle of employment-based and private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid, but they're not perfect, and failing to say so leaves him open to damning criticism. But when Moore gets down to history, the fury is all about the facts, starting with the Nixon-era handover of health-care administration to businessmen like Edgar Kaiser, whose Kaiser Permanente is now the single largest health insurance entity in the U.S. Moore traces the ramifications through cutesy charts and graphs, archival footage, and sometimes wrenching personal testimony: the Michigan woman with cervical cancer who crosses into Canada for care after being denied insurance reimbursement because she was "too young to have cervical cancer." The medical director whose conscience drove her to testify before Congress that she was rewarded by her employer, Humana, for doing "the dirty work of managed care": saving money by arbitrarily denying treatment. The horror stories include those of people refused potentially lifesaving procedures and the shocked frustration of 9/11 volunteers told that their subsequent illnesses were their problem because they weren't working on the toxic Trade Center site in an "official" capacity.
None of Moore's conclusions are new: that American health care focuses on expensive machinery, profitable pills and cures rather than prevention. That in a prosperous, peaceful nation founded on the notion of government by and for the people, all the people should have access to regular medical treatment. That turning over to businessmen the complex jobs of promoting good health practices and treating the sick favors money over care. That since the 1950s, discussion of a single-payer, tax-funded system administered by the federal government has been demonized by lobbyists for the American Medical Association, pharmaceutical companies and high-tech medical equipment businesses, who use red-scare tactics that equate universal health care with communism. That the choice offered by free-market medicine is no choice if you can't afford it. But by the time Moore loads three boats with chronically ill Americans and takes them to impoverished, communist Cuba, where they're offered compassionate care at minimal cost, it's hard not be moved by the shambles the American medical establishment has helped make of their vulnerable lives. leave a comment --Maitland McDonagh

2 out of 3 people found this review helpful:A great little show.Although its out of this "world" I really like this show. It's good against evil and the Saints are the good guys (as it should be)
This show, as my review of "Kids on the Slope" mentions: the writers make you care about the characters. Its an excellent show.
4 out of 7 people found this review helpful:Saint Seiya Review..The episode never really tries to hide from the fact that it's this old shounen-style when it was all about brats turning into men. You have the exaggerated speech and the characters talk on and on about their power instead of just fighting each other. On that level the series is clearly setting the stage and you know what kind of crap you'll get to see in this series.
2 out of 4 people found this review helpful:ahhh yeah saint seiyaits like saint seiya meets harry potter. i like it! it starts of slow but it picks up quickly. i was a big saint seiya fan as a kid. I watched the spanish version. i was concerned with the new series looking to "kiddish" if u will, but the story is good. the elements of the old saint seiya are their so its all good.

11 out of 17 people found this review helpful:Just stick with the originalAlthough I understand that the story happens in an "alternate universe", I cannot recommend this anime to fans of Kurumada's masterpiece. It just feels like Omega has nothing to do with the original series from the addition of the elements to the name of the antagonist Mars( who should have at least have been called Ares since Mars is its Roman name). The story makes no sense since no one knows ...Read more
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful:different but still wonderfulI started off skeptical and had a hard time with the first episode and all the changes but the characters are constantly developing and pulling me into the story plot. Yes it varies greatly from the saint seiya many of us loved but it has it's own unique appeal that has drawn me into waiting for every new episode.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful:Not exactly Saint Seiya....but still a lot of funThis show feels very different to the original Saint Seiya. It is lighter in many ways: animation, comedy, story line, character design, etc. And unlike the original heroes, these characters have motivations different from only protecting Athena (in fact, most of them don't even know her in person...she is only a concept). As stated in another review, this show is different, but still a lot of ...Read more
1 out of 4 people found this review helpful:Great Season!!!!!!!!I didn't think that this would be any good because the original characters are gone. I was wrong because once I started seeing this series it caught me in a flash, and the new saints are great like the old saints.
1 out of 5 people found this review helpful:Give it a try it won't dissapoint.Haven't watched the original but so far it's really amazing series.It kinda reminds me of Sailor Moon in a way with the transformations and the different elements.I'm trying to find to watch the original one but no luck yet.
1 out of 4 people found this review helpful:fun,clean and full of adventurefrist what saw is most likley clean. no worries about fan service here. it start out slow. then latter a new arc comes and things pickup. if like the story form the game Kid Icarus uprising likly like this show too.

Kobe breaks Boston's heart, hits game-winner
I saw it coming, but couldn't do anything but yell at the tv, "Double, Kobe! Double, Kobe!"
We didn't. I foresaw the rest.
Kobe hit the game-winning jumper from the foul line with 7.3 seconds left and Ray Allen draped all over him. Ray missed his chance at a buzzer-beating 3-pointer and the Celtics fell 90-89.
Boston fell behind early, but battled back in the second quarter for a 52-47 lead. Rajon Rondo and Tony Allen led the second quarter comeback, totalling 21 points, 10 rebounds and 14 points, respectively. Allen also did a good job defensively on Kobe Bryant, who only scored 19 points on 8-20 FG's. Bryant averages over 28 ppg this season.
The Celtics held the lead throughout the third quarter, but the offense slowed in the fourth quarter with missed shots and turnovers. Boston finished with 18 turnovers.
Any beyond that, I'm too upset to write anything else. It's 10-cent-wing night at the bar. And we also need to drown our sorrows with some drafts. Because the championship Celtics might be no more.

The Climate Coalition spans over 100 organisations, from environment and development charities to unions, faith, community and women's groups.
Check them out below, or use the drop down menu to filter by organisation type.
Winchester Action on Climate Change
Founded in 2007, Winchester Action on Climate Change (WinACC) is a fast growing and effective network of local people, businesses, organisations and leaders, not aligned to any political party. We work together to tackle climate change and transform Winchester into a low carbon district where people consume only their fair share of the earth's resources, and where our lifestyles are not jeopardising the wellbeing of our children and grandchildren.
Women's Environmental Network
The Women's Environmental Network (WEN) is the only organisation in the UK that has worked consistently to make the links between women's lives and environmental issues. WEN's vision is of an environmentally sustainable world in which we have achieved gender equality. Our mission is to make the connections between women's health and well-being and environmental issues. We want to inspire women to make environmentally informed choices about their health. We aim to empower women to become agents of change in their families, networks and society, and to participate equally in an environmentally sustainable future.
Women's Institute
The National Federation of Women's Institutes (NFWI) is an educational, social, non-party political and non-sectarian organisation. It was established to ensure that women are able to take an effective part in their community, to learn together, widen their horizons, improve and develop the quality of their lives and those of their communities and together influence local, national and international affairs on issues that matter to members. The NFWI is the largest women's organisation in the UK with some 210,000 members in 6,500 Women's Institutes across England, Wales and the Islands.
Woodland Trust
The Woodland Trust is the UK's leading woodland conservation charity. We want to see a UK rich in native woods, with vulnerable ancient woodland sensitively restored and better protection given to the woods and trees we already have . And we empower local people to take positive action for the wooded spaces they care about, too. Threats to woodland feel relentless right now - and woods and trees can only stay silent. Working together, we can all be the voice they so urgently need.
World Development Movement
WDM campaigns against the root causes of poverty and inequality. We are a democratically-governed movement made up of local campaign groups based in towns and cities around the UK. Our staff in London and Edinburgh co-ordinate hard-hitting campaigns that challenge the powerful and seek to bring about economic justice for the world's poor majority.
WWF works in over 100 countries to safeguard the environment and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. Climate change threatens many of the planet's species - including our own. WWF finds workable, practical solutions to the problems posed by climate change across governments, business and civil society.
Young Friends of the Earth EWNI
Young Friends of the Earth EWNI aims to inspire, empower, mobilise and unite young people (18-30) to take positive action to stand up for environmental destruction in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Europe. We work closely with the National Friends of the Earth local groups network and also Young Friends of the Earth Europe to support with engaging young people to take action, whilst running our own campaigns which relate closely to young people as part of a wider, cross-generational movement for change.
999 Planet in Peril
999 Planet in Peril is an initiative to allow people to easily get involved in climate change campaigning and education. 999 Planet in Peril encourages people to organise local events to spread the word about climate change and has developed quizzes and games for use at home and in schools, like the 'game for life'.

Hi, Just been asked to look into setting this up for our school. The support for this and documentation seems to be non-existant so I have a few questions that I hope can be answered by anyone that has already implemented this
1) I have set up a school youtube channel - how do the students access this, do I need to give them the URL?
2) I see this under the school settings: "To Grant Unrestricted Access to Specific Users Specify additional accounts that you want to allow to sign-in and have unrestricted access" - I have added a youtube account under this option but how do they access the school channel to add content to it?
Any help much appreciated

When I was in 5th grade, I participated in a 10k over a very steep bridge. I was in great shape at the time, but a 10k is a lot, especially for a 10 year old, so around 3/4 of the way through I was beginning to crash. I'd started out with a group of 15 or so friends, but I was the only one able to keep pace so I was completely by myself at this point. Around this time, one of the cadets from the local military college started to run beside me and give me words of encouragement. Nothing more than "Come on man" and "Almost there" but it was enough to keep me going. When I finished, he made sure I got water and found my mom at the finish line. Once the results were posted in the newspaper, I found out I ranked in the top 30 for my age group, which was huge considering this is one of those major races that attracts people from all over the world to compete.
Just wanted to say thanks, man. I couldn't at the time, I could barely breathe, but if you somehow see this, know I appreciate it.

HOUSTON, Mar. 24 -- Because Iraq has shut down production of more than 2 million b/d of oil, OPEC announced Mar. 20 that it was temporarily suspending members' production quotas to maintain world oil supplies and prices in the wake of shortfalls due to the hostilities in Iraq.
OPEC President and Qatar Energy Minister Abdullah al-Attiyah said OPEC had called on its members "to take full advantage of crude-extracting capacities beyond each nation's established quotas."
Saudi Arabia's Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ali Al-Naimi said Saudi Arabia is committed to keeping oil prices and the market as stable as possible despite the current disruptions in the area.
"All precautions have been taken to ensure the flow of oil supplies," Al-Naimi emphasized. Saudi Arabia "will continue to implement the resolutions of the 124th conference of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries" that stressed OPEC's readiness to make supplies available "under any circumstances," the ministry said.
Other curtailments
Although a small number of southern Iraqi oil well fires have been confirmed, overall damage to Iraq's southern fields appear to have been minimal, reported the US Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration Monday. The US military stepped up security in the vicinity of Rumaila oil field on Monday after reports of armed Iraqis in the vicinity, but a US military spokesman stressed that "they won't be able to destroy the (Rumaila) wells." Oil operations in Kuwait were normal Monday, and no damage there has been reported, EIA said.
Various companies operating in the Persian Gulf area, however, have shut down active operations and removed personnel from the war theater:
-- Shell Iran Nowrooz-Soroosh Development, a Royal Dutch/Shell Group unit, suspended operations at its 60,000 b/d Soroosh oil field in the northern Persian Gulf 90 km west of Kharg Island, Iran, citing concern for the safety of its employees. Soroosh, which has been in production since December 2001 and was producing about 60,000 b/d, and nearby Nowrooz oil field, which is scheduled to start producing by third quarter of this year, lie close to Iraqi territorial waters.
A Shell spokesman in Tehran said 260 foreign and Iranian staff had been pulled out of the area, but that activities at the offshore fields would resume "as soon as possible." National Iranian Oil Co. will provide security for the sites during the shutdown.
Shell said that when hostilities cease, it would try to compensate for the lost production. Iran's oil ministry earlier this year had said that Soroosh oil production would reach peak capacity of 190,000 b/d by September. A Japanese consortium including Japan National Oil Corp. owns a 20% interest in the Soroosh-Nowrooz venture.
A Shell spokesperson in London said these fields were the only closures Shell plans due to war fears, although some staff members have been evacuated from Syria as well.
-- GlobalSantaFe Corp. reported earlier this month that it would suspend drilling operations at all six of its land rigs drilling in Kuwait by Mar. 17 (OGJ Online, Mar. 14, 2003). The company evacuated 386 nonresident employees.
-- The Kuwait Oil Co.-Saudi-Texaco Co. joint venture shut in a Wafra field well in midmonth, following a blowout at the Kuwait-Saudi Neutral Zone. Emergency crews contained the blowout and have capped the well. The blowout apparently was unrelated to the Iraqi situation.
-- Kuwait Petroleum Co. shut in Al Abdali and Al Ratqa oil fields near the Iraqi border that together produced 35,000 b/d, but said it would make up the production with increased output at Al Ahmadi, Burqan, and Al Muqawa'a fields to compensate for the curtailment.
Meanwhile France's TotalFinaElf SA said it would maintain output at Balal oil field off Iran, which started producing 20,000 b/d of oil in February. The oil is exported from National Iranian Oil Co.'s processing facilities on Lavan Island (OGJ Online, Mar. 6, 2003).
No other problems in the Persian Gulf have been reported at the moment, and EIA said tankers are reported to be loading normally, although insurers are evaluating premiums for ships and cargoes on a case-by-case basis.
User impacts uncertain
With OPEC making up much of the shortage, the production curtailments are unlikely to affect markets in the short term.
Europe and the US accounted for nearly 70% of Iraqi crude sales in 2000, with Asia netting 19%.
Although Germany's Economics Minister Wolfgang Clement told the Bundestag lower house of parliament Mar. 21 that Germany's oil supply is secure, he also said the war, along with high oil prices, could further weaken Germany's struggling economy. He also said, however, that it was too early to determine precisely what the war's impact would be. Germany is a strong opponent of the war with Iraq.
Meanwhile, US commercial crude oil inventories (which do not include the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) increased by 0.4 million bbl, but nonetheless are barely above the lower operational inventory level, said EIA.
Venezuela's production is increasing and is estimated by striking oil workers to be 2.4 million b/d. The Venezuelan government claims production of 3 million b/d, about what the country was producing before personnel strikes began Dec. 2.
Nongulf curtailments
Meanwhile, ethnic violence in Nigeria continued to escalate last week, causing a total of 600,000-800,000 b/d of production to be shut down.
On Mar. 20, widespread unrest forced Chevron Nigeria Ltd. to declare force majeure, shutting in 140,000 b/d of its 450,000 b/d total production on all its onshore and swamp production in the western Niger Delta. The company said the action impacted its ability to deliver on the rest of its March and April lifting programs. One contractor at the company's Escraovos tank farm was killed Mar. 17 and another wounded. Chevron on Sunday closed most of its other facilities in Nigeria, as well.
And on Mar. 21 a unit of Royal Dutch/Shell also declared force majeure affecting its Bonny and Forcados export terminals. The company earlier in the week had shut in 126,000 b/d of its 800,000 b/d production and evacuated personnel, saying it would likely make up the difference elsewhere in Nigeria. A helicopter carrying personnel to safety came under fire from Nigerian militants, but no one was injured, Shell said.
TotalFinaElf SA also has had to shut down some of its Nigerian facilities.
In addition, local militants in the Niger Delta region reportedly have taken control of a number of pipeline flow stations and threaten to destroy them.
Nigerian authorities are expected to deploy military force in the area in an attempt to bring the civil unrest under control.

NSA Head Says Spy Programs Thwarted Terror Attacks
Read more:
Army Gen. Keith Alexander, in his first congressional testimony since disclosure of the secretive programs, offered few details on Wednesday about the disrupted terror plots but asserted that the two government programs they have collected millions of telephone records and kept tabs on Internet activity were imperative in the terror fight.
The director of national intelligence has declassified some details on two thwarted attacks Najibullah Zazis foiled plot to bomb the New York subways and the case of David Coleman Headley, a Pakistani-American who used his U.S. passport to travel frequently to India, where he allegedly scouted out venues for terror attacks on behalf of the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist organization.
Alexander said he is pressing for the intelligence community to provide details on the other plots.
I do think its important that we get this right and I want the American people to know that were trying to be transparent here, protect civil liberties and privacy but also the security of this country, Alexander told a Senate panel.
He described the steps the government takes once it suspects a terrorist organization is about to act all within the laws approved by Congress and under stringent oversight from the courts. He said the programs led to disrupting or contributing to the disruption of terrorist attacks, without offering specifics.

Japan's AIJ lost $1.3 bln in bad options bets-regulator
TOKYO, March 23 (Reuters) – Tokyo-based AIJ Investment
Advisors lost $1.3 billion in bad bets on equity and bond
derivatives, losing the bulk of the pension funds it was
managing, Japan's financial regulator said on Friday after
stripping the firm of its registration.
The Financial Services Agency (FSA) said AIJ, whose offices
were earlier raided by the Securities and Exchange Surveillance
Commission (SESC), was unable to account for most of the $2.4
billion assets under its management and had falsified its report
to investors to cover up its losses in one of the biggest
scandals of its kind in Japan.
Japan lenders give wary backing to Tepco
TOKYO, March 8 (Reuters) – Major creditors of Tokyo
Electric Power Co (Tepco) are ready to lend the
loss-making utility 1 trillion yen ($12.4 billion) if they
approve its turnaround plan, bank sources said on Thursday.
On capital injection into the utility — another major issue
in Tepco's turnaround process — trade minister Yukio Edano said
the government intends to pick its top management following the
injection of taxpayers' money, indicating he is seeking a
majority of voting rights.
Japan lenders ready to back Fukushima operator Tepco, but wary
TOKYO, March 8 (Reuters) – Major creditors of Tokyo
Electric Power Co are ready to lend the loss-making
utility 1 trillion yen ($12.4 billion), but won't commit the
money until they see if the firm's turnaround plan meets some
key conditions, bank sources said on Thursday.
The lenders are concerned if two conditions — raising power
tariffs and the restart of the utility's nuclear power plants –
can be met in the face of public and political opposition
following the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster a year ago.
Japan shuts fund manager on fears client losses hidden
TOKYO, Feb 24 (Reuters) – Japan's financial regulator
on Friday temporarily shut a manager of corporate pensions on
suspicion it may have hidden losses in the $2.6 billion it
manages mainly on behalf of smaller firms, and flagged an
industry probe.
The Financial Services Agency said it froze the assets of
Tokyo-based AIJ Investment Advisors and ordered a halt to its
operations for a month because AIJ was unable to properly report
the status of its portfolio.
Mazda to raise $2 billion in share issue, loans: sources
TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan's Mazda Motor Corp (7261.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) plans to raise $2.1 billion to shore up its finances and invest in a new plant in Mexico, financial sources said on Tuesday — a bigger-than-expected fund raising that sent its shares tumbling 13 percent.
The loss-making automaker aims to raise 100 billion yen ($1.3 billion) through a public share offering and 70 billion yen through subordinated loans from banks, two sources with knowledge of the matter said.
Japan's Mizuho to cooperate with StanBank-sources
JOHANNESBURG/TOKYO, Feb 19 (Reuters) – Japan's Mizuho
Financial Group will sign an agreement to cooperate
with South Africa's Standard Bank in corporate lending
as early as this week, according to two people familiar with the
The non-exclusive agreement will focus on bringing more of
Mizuho's Japanese clients to Africa and Standard Bank's clients
to Japan, said one of the people, both of whom declined to be
identified because the information is not public.
Japan bank lobby head warns future JGB risks
TOKYO, Feb 16 (Reuters) – Japan could face its own
sovereign debt problems within a decade unless it speeds up
efforts to improve its fiscal health, the head of its banking
lobby said on Thursday.
Factors supporting the nation's debt finance could become a
trigger of problems for Japanese government bonds, said
Katsunori Nagayasu, chairman of the Japanese Bankers
Japan assets may impede ING's Asia sale
HONG KONG/TOKYO, Feb 16 (Reuters) – ING's Japan unit
is proving to be a stumbling block in the auction of its Asia
insurance business that is expected to fetch more than
6 billion euros, with sources saying the Dutch group may have no
choice but to retain the Japan unit for now.
Japan is one of ING's two biggest Asian operations,
so what becomes of it in the event of a sale is important.
The concern has to do with the 18 billion euros worth of
high-guarantee variable annuity policies the Japan operation has
on the books.
SMFG: few assets being offered at attractive prices
TOKYO (Reuters) – Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (8316.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said it has been fielding lots of asset offers, about $100 billion worth since early last year, but attractive deals are few and far between as European banks were not desperate enough to embark on a fire sale.
SMFG and other Japanese banks are well positioned to snap up assets being shed by European players as they have little exposure to the region's sovereign debt woes and access to cheaper funding.
Japan SMBC's bid for WestLB assets fails – sources
HONG KONG/TOKYO, Feb 14 (Reuters) – Talks between
Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp (SMBC) and WestLB
over the sale of the German bank's corporate lending business
have collapsed mainly due to differences over valuations, two
sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
SMBC had submitted a final bid earlier in February which
landed short of the expectations of WestLB's owners — regional
savings banks and the German state of North Rhine Westphalia.

The AD557 DACPORT® is a complete voltage-output 8-bit digital-to-analog converter, including output amplifier, full microprocessor interface and precision voltage reference on a single monolithic chip. No external components or trims are required to interface, with full accuracy, an 8-bit data bus to an analog system.
The low cost and versatility of the AD557 DACPORT are the result of continued development in monolithic bipolar technologies.
The complete microprocessor interface and control logic is implemented with integrated injection logic (I2 L), an extremely dense and low-power logic structure that is process-compatible with linear bipolar fabrication. The internal precision voltage reference is the patented low-voltage band-gap circuit which permits full-accuracy performance on a single +5 V power supply. Thin-film silicon-chromium resistors provide the stability required for guaranteed monotonic operation over the entire operating temperature range, while laser-wafer trimming of these thin-film resistors permits absolute calibration at the factory to within ±2.5 LSB; thus, no user-trims for gain or offset are required. A new circuit design provides voltage settling to ±1/2 LSB for a full-scale step in 800 ns.
The AD557 is available in two package configurations. The AD557JN is packaged in a 16-pin plastic, 0.3"-wide DIP. For surface mount applications, the AD557JP is packaged in a 20-pin JEDEC standard PLCC. Both versions are specified over the operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

On a positive note, SIMS isn't all bad (as much as we might complain), it just needs to be a bit more user friendly in the assessment and analysis modules, or open up the DB so that those with the knowledge can create custom reporting solutions that fit their needs and always contain the latest available data
Last edited by LosOjos; 25th May 2010 at 11:55 AM. Reason: On a positive note...
and now back on reality beach ....
The over-riding aim here is to improve the data tools that schools use so that data professionals and IT managers in schools can be more effective in the way that they use performance data.
I have suggested previously that schools need a number of data tools, and easy ways to move data about. I have made an analogy with Microsoft Word, which has a vast choice of useful features, but of course, people will also use Word in parallel with other applications.
But using data in a similar way to text is much more difficult. This is partly because of the need to preserve the relationships and interdependence of data held in many separate tables. It isn't really just a question of writing the correct SQL query, because it isn't enough to just pull data from one place and put it in another. What is more important than data is meaning. If one wishes to add greater meaning to data then this can be done by combining data from different sources and performing new mathematical operations on the combination. This is an example of where it will usually be more efficient to acquire a new tool that does just this. We could make a hammer, but it will usually be more sensible to buy one.
In our work, we have aimed to provide data tools that will selectively aggregate data from different sources, and other tools that let the user manipulate it in ways that can't easily be done in Excel. It then uses this information in conjunction with a live database of every UK examination, and another containing national comparative subject performance data. The result is that new information is revealed, and this can then be exported in different formats to be reused yet again.
I believe that it is very good for schools to have different companies providing solutions, new features and choices for schools. No single, monolithic approach will work for everyone.
matt40k (5th August 2010)
For those that are interested, there is a web cast on 16th June @ 1.30 "Spotting the trends – Can this improve school performance?" Details on SupportNet.
LosOjos (25th May 2010)
A follow up to this thread. I was looking for a CMIS thread on the subject because of the availability now of equivalent routines for using the examination, pupil and teaching group information from both CMIS and SIMS. Many have looked to the Schools Interoperability Framework for news of easy movement of data between various tools, including Excel, that data professionals will wish to have in their toolbox. With the forthcoming closure of Becta it is uncertain how this work will continue.
We have always taken the view that data exists in native forms anyway (XML, CSV, XLS, TXT, DOC etc) and that simple compatible export and input routines on every tool in the toolbox would provide the interoperability that people need. Our developments permit maximum data movement by these routes, coupled with active extraction where any software application does not provide export options.
From August 24th schools systems will be tested with the arrival of the new examination results. This will be the time to check whether there are sufficient tools in the box to meet the new reporting requirements from LAs that include discounting, disapplication, capped and uncapped results and separate reporting for science and modern languages. If the processing of such reports requires the use of Excel and the possibility of the usual range of common processing errors, it will point to a possible need for further development by schools of the range of tools that they are using.
The point of this note is simply to argue for the benefit of reviewing one's IT systems at mission critical times, and to point to the value of simple interoperability protocols for moving data between the tools that can perform the tasks that are are needed, in the timeframe that is available, so as to create maximum impact.
The popular blog at Wrestling with the Data Genie describes many of the issues associated with getting better value from school data systems. It is an area to keep an eye on because of the potential for innovation. Both MIS suppliers and others are working on developments to make life easier for data professionals in schools.

The SIF Association UK, through the leadership of Becta, has become an efficient, widespread and self-sustaining organisation in the UK. While the new UK government announced the closure of Becta, the SIF Association UK will continue with the community membership continuing to manage the critical work ahead. The elected Management Board of the SIF Association UK continues to drive the vision and strategy of interoperability in the UK.

Does anyone remember a cartoon about a tree swing called 'What the Customer really wanted'?
History also shows that we can wait around for something promised to provide all the answers and then find that what we really needed was the step beyond that.
New opportunities to get better value from schools' data comes from using it together with other information from national datasets and from the school's particular context. Importing additional data is as important to this as exporting the data you already have. Sorting out interoperability of data is just a modest first step in making school data systems work harder.
In our project, developments are driven by what headteachers and data managers have asked us for. They have asked for easy ways to move their data between the tools they already have, ways to represent pupil performance that improve on grade lists and bar charts, tools to do the essential data-crunching for them without the usual embarrassments you get when working in Excel, and a way that makes it easy for teachers to use data without needing to be statisticians. We have also made sure that data professionals can try these ideas out for themselves instantly and without commitment.
ICT keeps moving forward and there are seldom single right answers. The world of performance data has much catching up to do, which is why being opportunistic and open minded is an asset.
SIF can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. A Zone Integration Server can handle the asynchronous transfer of data between applications in a school or college, between institutions (for 14-19, or potentially to replace CTF) and for vertical interoperability from schools to LAs or the Department for Education (as a potential replacement for Census?).
With more and more suppliers joining the SIF Association and implementing SIF in their existing products, or using third party agents to ensure interoperability, we are not too far off a situation where heads and data managers can easily transfer data into their existing tools. A list of SIF products currently available in the UK can be found on the SIF Association website.
SIF is driven by its members, with new developments coming from teaching staff and data managers via a number of working groups. Version 1.3 of the SIF Specification is almost at the end of a 30 day consultation period (closing tomorrow!) so if anyone wants to provide any feedback, please email penny.murray at becta.org.uk
But someone needs to pay for SIF, nothing is free. Ideally the "LA" would have a ZIS, and the schools would connect to it and the "LA" to the rest of the market, other LAs, DfE etc. SIF within the school across software sounds wonderful, but it's another service that schools need to support. Again, more cost.
The idea of Census being done via SIF sounds wonderful, it could be a more regular thing, however Census is an excellent time for data cleaning.
Take a look at from an assistant head at one of the schools involved in the SIF Association. He illustrates a number of the benefits of implementing SIF: reductions in bureaucracy, improving the quality of data, improving data security, freeing up time for staff to teach, improving child safety etc. He also estimates that his school could save 400 hours a year on data management by implementing SIF.
SIF can help improve data quality as you can enter data once into the MIS rather than having to retype the same info into every application and means you don't have to manually update every app when some info changes.
Becta's Information Management Strategy Framework may be helpful in doing this :-)
I agree, but the point still is, it's used as a time to cleanse data and the cost (in human hours) is embedded into the census process rather then, say, added more work to the actual day-to-day operation. I suppose you could integrated it into the "Ofsted" checks, but it's giving it another name and causing more work changing it.
Did you see Becta cost estimate of pushing out SIF? Personally, SIMS (school) can export into ONE (LA), it's been working for a number of years. I admit it's not perfect, but for most of the 22,000 schools, SIF won't give them much benefits. On paper it brilliant but in the real world of budget cuts...
