To access these features you must register for ANZ Internet Banking for Business. Please note that a fee applies.
Investment units
If you have an investment account your money is made up of investment units. Each unit has a value known as the unit price, which is variable depending on the market price of the fund you have invested in.
- So if the unit price was valued at $100 on a given day and you have an investment of 10 units your total investment amount would be $1000.
- This will mean you might not be able to log on to ANZ Internet Banking as the log on box opens in a new window
If you use Internet Explorer the same problem will occur if you have enabled a pop-up blocker.
Lodgement number
The lodgement number is your confirmation that your payment or transfer has been lodged for processing.

Operator ID
An Operator is an ANZ Internet Banking for Business customer whose access to ANZ Internet Banking for Business is controlled by their relevant Administrator.
- Each Operator has their own ID assigned to them by their Administrator.
- This ID must be used to log on to ANZ Internet Banking for Business.
If you cannot remember your Operator ID please contact your Administrator for help.
Outstanding authorisations
Outstanding authorisations are transactions carried out using your ANZ Access Visa Debit card that have been received by ANZ for processing but have not cleared as yet.
- This list of outstanding authorisations will only include VISA transactions which have not been fully processed by ANZ.
- It will not detail any non VISA transactions or any fees or charges applied to your account.
Sometimes the merchant/payee involved in a transaction may obtain authorisation before the transaction is completed.
- In these cases the authorisation is for the purpose of establishing that there are sufficient funds available in the account for the transaction.
- Once the authorisation is obtained your everyday bank account available funds will be reduced accordingly.
- After this point the merchant has six bank business days to finalise the transaction.
- When the merchant finalises the transaction/payment and ANZ processes it, the debited amount will be moved to the "Processed" transaction list of your "Transaction history".

Your ANZ Internet Banking and ANZ Internet Banking for Business passwords should fulfil the following requirements:
- Your password must be 8 to 16 characters, with at least one number.

Star Wars: Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO, released on DVD in 2004 as Star Wars Animated Adventures: Droids, is an animated television series that features the exploits of R2-D2 and C-3PO, the droids who have appeared in all six live-action Star Wars films. The series takes place between the events depicted in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
Over the course of the series, the droids team up with four different sets of masters. The series is divided up into three cycles: at the beginning of each, the droids usually run into their new masters in an accidental way, and at the end of each cycle, they usually are forced to leave their masters for one reason or another. The Great Heep, a television special following the series, served as a prequel to the third Mungo Baobab cycle.
The series' opening theme, "Trouble Again," was performed by Stewart Copeland of the Police and written by Copeland and Derek Holt.
Droids was set in the nineteen-year time period between the rise of the Empire in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Many times during the show, agents of the Empire were shown to enforce this idea.
The famous droid duo faced off against gangsters, criminals, pirates, Boba Fett, IG-88, the Galactic Empire and other threats throughout the series. During their adventures, the droids always found themselves with new masters and new difficult situations as a result.
The Emperor was mentioned multiple times within the series, but never appeared.
Cast and production[edit]
The series featured Anthony Daniels as the voice of C-3PO, who also portrayed the character in the films, along with the voice talents of Graeme Campbell, Rob Cowan, Don Francks, Peter MacNeill, John Stocker and Winston Rekert. Several episodes feature guest stars like Dan Hennessey, Chris Wiggins, George Buza, Andrew Sabiston, Eric Peterson, Rob Cowan, Jamie Dick, Cree Summer, Donny Burns, Don McManus, Long John Baldry and Gordon Masten. Several episodes of the series were written by (Star Wars sound designer) Ben Burtt. The series was produced by Nelvana on behalf of Lucasfilm and broadcast on ABC. The cartoon series lasted one season and was made up of thirteen regular episodes in 1985. There was also a two-part television special entitled The Great Heep in 1986. Following the original run of the complete series, the entire show was rebroadcast as part of The Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour the same year, along with its series counterpart, Star Wars: Ewoks. The shows, Droids and Ewoks, were also played on the Sci Fi Channel in 1996 as a part of their early morning Sci-Fi cartoon run, although somewhat edited for time.
In the UK, BBC Television bought rights to screen the series in its entirety between 1986 and 1991 as part of Children's BBC. The entire series was shown twice within this time (in 1986 and 1988 to coincide with the full release of the Star Wars trilogy as well as Droids on VHS). The Great Heep only made one showing in 1989 on BBC's Going Live!, which was a Saturday morning kids show and split into two parts over two weeks. Different episodes from different cycles were also screened across the five-year licence, with the Trigon cycle being shown in full in early 1991 on the Saturday morning children's show called The 8:15 from Manchester.
In several places, the prequel trilogy references elements from the Droids animated series. This is possibly due to Ben Burtt's large involvement in both story elements for the animated series, and his involvement in the prequels.

Comic book series[edit]
In 1986, Marvel Comics' Star Comics imprint published a comic book based on the cartoon series under the name Star Wars: Droids. The bi-monthly series ran for eight issues. Significant issues include No. 4, which crossed over with the Ewoks comics series, and Nos. 6–8, whose story was titled "Star Wars: According to the Droids", retelling the original film complete with new scenes told from the perspective of the droids. It is of note that the series was drawn by comic legend John Romita, Sr.
In 1994, Dark Horse Comics published a new series of Star Wars: Droids, continuing the story started in Dark Horse Comics Nos. 17–19. Set before the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the mini-series ran for six issues. A Special No. 1 was released in January 1995, followed by a second mini-series that ran for eight issues. A one-shot titled Star Wars: Droids – The Protocol Offensive was published in September 1997.
In 1985, Kenner produced a toy line based on the series, including action figures, ship models, and other items. The toy line was short lived due to decreasing popularity with Star Wars. In 1987 during a purchase and then released in 1988, Glasslite of Brazil issued remaining Kenner stock and produced a very limited run of remaining Return of the Jedi and Droids toys from a sell off. Certain vehicles, mini-rigs and action figures were issued by the company in new packaging. The character Vlix (Tig Fromm's henchman) was an action figure exclusive from unused molds by Kenner. Like the reminder of the Glasslite line, very few were made, even less were sold and most were recycled due to the failing economy when money was tight across the country.
For more on the toy line, see The Star Wars Collector's Archive.
A book was issued in the UK of the Episode "A Race To The Finish" as well as another book that had limited print runs.
Plans to release a Storybook and cassette for the publishing company Rainbow for the Trigon cycle were abandoned after they lost the rights to re-issue their Star Wars run which included Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Planet of the Hoojibs, Droid World and Return of the Jedi: The Battle of Endor due to poor reflective sales of Buena Vista's "Further Adventure" series which included Mission To Ord Mantell, An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle For Endor overseas.
A computer game was released in 1988 for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64 by Mastertronic. The game went largely unnoticed and was pulled from production due to licensing rights of the end title theme tune being used.

DVD release[edit]
- An edited compilation DVD with the title Star Wars Animated Adventures: Droids was released on November 23, 2004. The DVD contained eight episodes of the series, edited together as two full length movies. Besides cutting the theme song of the series, many other small modifications were made for the home video releases, most notably changes to the soundtrack.[1]
- Episodes 5–8, (Cycle 2) were edited together to make The Pirates and the Prince (which was previously released on VHS in 1996).[2] Along with other changes to the soundtrack, Sy Snootles and the Max Rebo Band are seen singing a different song than they sang in the original series.
- Episodes 10–13, (Cycle 3) were edited together to make Treasure of the Hidden Planet. A new prologue is narrated by Alex Lindsay (digital effects artist for The Phantom Menace),[3] as the voice of Mungo Baobab. Along with other changes to the soundtrack, the song that R2-D2 plays on the jukebox is now the song that the Max Rebo Band plays in The Pirates and the Prince.
- The entire original series has yet to be released on any home video format in its entirety. Some of the original episodes were released in the 1980s and 1990s on VHS, mostly notable were the UK PAL releases on 4 cassettes (Droids 1-3 and The Great Heep) that had very minor edits with credit and opening sequences being eliminated for these compilation tapes.

The CSI Effect
The CSI Effect is a blur between reality and fiction resulting from fictionalized media portrayals of investigation and prosecution, which influences the expectations of the public, crime victims and potential jurors (Dowler, Fleming, & Muzzatti, 2006) as to the realities of DNA and forensic evidence, as well as the investigative process, roles of crime scene analysts, and investigators (Davis Bivens, & Harrington, 2010). This phenomenon stems from the popularity of criminal justice dramas (and in particular, courtroom dramas), such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Law and Order, and other courtroom dramas (Shelton, 2008).
Due to the popularity of television crime dramas (i.e. CSI, Law and Order), the interest in forensics and forensic investigations is increasing. Undergraduate, non-science students have the misconception that criminal justice, criminology, and other related disciplines are appropriate curricula to prepare them for jobs in forensics and forensic investigations. In addition, many of these students do not realize that forensics is a natural science, not a social science. As such, many have unrealistic expectations of what they can do in the field of forensic investigations with a non-science, undergraduate degree. Until spring semester of 2010, there were no criminology courses at JCSU which introduced students to forensics and forensic investigations. Likewise, those natural science courses which may have included forensics within the curriculum did not include forensic investigations within the curriculum.
In the spring 2010 and spring 2011 semesters, the criminology program offered a Special Topics in Criminal Justice: Forensics for Criminology Majors course in response to the number of students majoring in criminology who expressed an interest in careers in crime scene analysis and other areas of forensic science. This course sought to introduce non-science majors to forensics and forensic investigations so that students could gain a clear understanding of forensic science and its application in law enforcement investigations.
There were two primary objectives of this course: incorporating forensics within the criminology curriculum to afford non-science majors the opportunity to understand forensics in the investigative, evidentiary, and judicial stages of criminal court processing; and increasing the number and diversity of students exposed to and educated in forensic investigations, crime scene processing, and collection of evidence.
The remainder of this article will describe the criminology programs innovative project to incorporate natural science into the social sciences through the Forensics for Criminology Majors course.
Incorporating Natural Sciences into the Social Sciences: Forensic Science for Criminology Majors
Project Faculty Qualifications and Expertise
The criminology program was successful in recruiting and retaining an adjunct faculty member who holds a M.S. in forensic science with a concentration in investigations and is currently completing a Ph.D. in public safety with a concentration in forensic science. This same faculty member is also a full-time sworn police officer with the local police department and she previously held instructor certification through the North Carolina Criminal Justice Standards Commission. As such, she has professional experience in investigations and law enforcement operations, and is academically prepared in the area of forensic science and investigations. Her previous instructor certification prepared her in the area of curriculum development and pedagogy. Another faculty member, who assisted in the assessment and evaluation for this project holds an Ed.D. in higher education with a concentration in criminal justice, has fifteen years of curriculum development experience, program and course evaluation, student assessment, and research. This faculty member also has fifteen years of developing experiential learning projects.
Forensic Science for Criminology Majors
The Special Topics in Criminal Justice: Forensic Science for Criminology Majors course was developed to introduce non-science majors to forensics and forensic investigations so students can gain a clear understanding of forensic science and its application in law enforcement investigations. To develop this course, faculty conducted a literature review to identify best practices in teaching natural science to non-science majors. According to Arwood (2004), forensic science is an effective strategy, in and of itself, in teaching science as most scientific concepts can be taught through forensics, and students have an interest in the subject matter due to the popularity of crime dramas, etc. Arwood further posits that forensic education evokes critical thinking as it offers opportunities for interactive learning, which include problem-based and inquiry-based learning. With this information and their prior knowledge of forensics and investigations, the project faculty developed a course curriculum which introduced students to basic forensics, anatomy and physiology, investigations, and legal issues and forensics. In addition, the students capstone project was an experiential learning project where they processed a mock crime scene and applied knowledge from the course in the areas of: forensic investigations, basic forensic science, crime scene processing, and the collection of evidence. The project faculty chose to incorporate an experiential capstone project because experiential learning projects are effective pedagogical resources for students to develop and enhance knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as affording students the opportunity to bridge theory and practice. According to Jadallah (2000), in order for experiential learning to be meaningful, students must actively participate in a process of exploring, analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing information into a frame of reference that they then use to build upon prior knowledge.
Project Outcome/Assessment/Impact
Initial Assessment
As part of the course project assessment, 25 students enrolled in CRM 494 Special Topics in Criminal Justice: Forensics for Criminology Majors in the spring 2011 semester were asked to take a pre-test and post-test assessment (at the beginning and end of the semester, respectively) examining their understanding of forensics and forensic investigations. Students received a course grade for completing the activity, but the grade they received on the assessment was not reflected in their final course grades. The fifteen item instrument (developed by the project faculty and validated through the use of summative evaluation) measured a basic knowledge of forensics, investigations, legal issues and forensics, and anatomy and physiology.
The researchers utilized a Basic One Group Pre-Test/Post Test Design (n = 17). In those instances where a student did not take either the pre-test or the post-test (due to absences, withdrawal from the course, etc.), those assessments were not included in the assessment. The mean score for the Pre-Test x = 44. The mean score for the Post-Test x = 68. The project faculty then conducted a 1 Tailed, Independent T Test (3.89515E-06 = 0.00000389), and thus the findings were not statistically significant (.05). It is recognized that the sample for this analysis was minimal, and thus findings cannot be generalizable, but the authors posit that the data is valuable for course evaluation and planning.
While there was not a statistically significant improvement in assessment scores, some individual students did make drastic improvements in individual scores as noted in Table 1.
Reflection and Analysis
Project faculty also found a number of unintended outcomes. First, there was an increase in the faculty members knowledge, skills, and abilities in developing a non-traditional, interdisciplinary curriculum (i.e. merging content from the social and natural sciences) utilizing a formal, curriculum design. Second, faculty found their skills in developing, implementing, and analyzing learning assessment, student evaluation, and curriculum evaluation were improved. Third, the project provided an avenue for faculty to research best practices and effective pedagogy in the student learning process. Finally, non-science majors were afforded an interdisciplinary background in forensics and criminology, which introduced students to forensic science and its application in law enforcement investigations. In doing so, it also helped to make students competitive candidates in the criminal justice workforce, as they are introduced to current and relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities.

Goof: When Morris mentions going to visit Ray in Baton Rouge and catching a Saints game, he is referring to where they played during the 2005 season, when the New Orleans Saints couldn't use the Louisiana Superdome - due to Hurricane Katrina - and divided their home games between the Alamodome in Texas and LSU's Tigers Stadium in Baton Rouge. In actuality, the Saints returned to the Superdome for their first home game on September 25, 2006.

are we really still having this debate?
I disagree that it doesnt "match" as it exists now. These towers look great with the nice little "cap" on top. And if you really want to get picky they appear to be a light blue gray colour in most of the pictures on this page other than the bright sunlit ones. With the fritted pattern on the balconies of tower 2 the cap appears to match perfectly.

Re: Scotty, (Replace Old DC Breaker Panel) When Will I Have My Warp Power On Line ?
I did not post this info. before, I have AC already and it works. The former owner said he just had it serviced and works ok., said, it may need tweeked. He thought it was not as cold as it was. I have a complete AC serving unit, does it all, clean & reservice AC systems.
AC data: Memaid Mfg., Model 16, Cooling 16.5 K, Heating 18.5K, pulls 13 Amp when running. Retails for $ 2,550.00, best price found $ 1,859.99. The unit looks good too and think I'm fine with what I have (per owners comments).
I heard what you said about the gen. deal (best direction). I'm a diesel mechanic (my trade) but not the little diesels; we consider the little diesel as .. throw aways. I have two little diesel, one 17 hp on a 4000 PSI high pressure pump. The 2nd one is for repower (15 hp) on a sawmill I'm repowering to from gas to diesel. working. I have a 3K gas gen. rope start and works fine. I see he 3k it as too lgt. for what I need & rope start. The 2nd is a 10 or 12 K mil. generator. It works great but just a little heavy and too big below deck. It would work above deck and is military spec'd.; it was just rebuilt and will take weather abuse, but gasoline.
I have Bo Smith (delivered boat) looking for a gen. (used). I'd like to buy the right size marine generator. I need AC and can not take a lot of heat on a day to day basis. When it's real hot (100 +) and No Air moving.. I'd be real unhappy, can't sleep when it's super hot.

5 Stars Great for use with EZ Travel
Court14 from FL wrote (December 04, 2012):
If you have the Gamma EZ Travel this is great and holds about the same amount of balls as the canvas bag that comes with it. As a stand alone hopper I'd also give it 5 stars. Very quick and easy pick up. Can't speak for durability yet since have only used for a couple weeks but it is very well constructed.

R from Ca wrote (August 30, 2012):
Pros: Excellent quality and well made. Easy to use with the EZ travel cart. Removable handle was a great idea. Adding the rolling wheels help moving the basket easier. Cons: Just a bit heavy with the basket empty. Only hold 125 balls not 150.

Technics Turntable Auto-Return problem - Please Help !
I just bought a second-hand Technics SL-BD22 semi-automatic turntable. It plays fine, sound quality is great, but I'm having a *really* annoying problem.... The auto-return happens way too soon. I haven't actually managed to lsiten to an entire song yet, as it always cuts out about 3/4 through... Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I like listening to drum'n'bass, which usually has long 6-7 minute songs, maybe the turntable is set to return after 5 because most songs aren't that long, but then, that wouldn't make sense if I was listening to a full album; and a 7" would cut out only halfway through... Now, I might have only just gotten a turntable, but I'm not *that* stupid - I *did* read the instruction manual, and there's a little screw for adjusting the auto-return. One way makes it cut out even sooner, the other way makes it cut out later. I turned it all the way both sides (just to see) and in both cases it still cuts out way too soon... this is extremely annoying, as I have only just gotten my turntable and was hoping to listen to all my records, but they all cut out half way... is there any way to manually adjust the auto-return so it cuts out later; or even better - to disable it, making it a sort-of manual turntable ? Thanks a lot, I really appreciate all and any help I can get here Dan P.S. if nothing else works, I doubt very luch it's a good idea, but how about bending the tonearm ? I don't like that idea at all, and I don't want to break anything but I'm wondering if it's the only way... |

The cut-out/trip mechanism is just pure lever and gearing mechanism. The early tripping may be caused by 'misalignment' of the gearing, probably caused during transportation or other violent movement.
You can disable it by removing the lower cover(few screws) and disconnect the lever/trip mechanism. You know which one to disconnect when you see them moving when you move the tonearm.. Hope this helps.. |

Feasibility study of synthetic aperture infrared laser radar techniques for imaging of static and moving objects
Applied Optics, Vol. 37, Issue 24, pp. 5631-5639 (1998)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (233 KB)
Techniques for two types of 10-μm band synthetic aperture infrared laser radar using a hypothetical reference point target (RPT) are presented. One is for imaging static objects with a single two-dimensional scanning aperture. Through the simple manipulation of a reference wave phase, a desired image can be obtained merely by the two-dimensional Fourier transformation of the correlator output between the intermediate frequency signals of the reference and object waves. The other, with a one-dimensional aperture array, is for moving objects that pass across the array direction without attitude change. We performed imaging by using a two-dimensional RPT correlation method. We demonstrate the capability of these methods for imaging and evaluate the necessary conditions for signal-to-noise ratio and random phase errors in signal reception through numerical simulations in terms of feasibility.

Minister has sent a list of all officers and vigilance cases if any they faced
Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge has left it to the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet to pick a candidate for the post of Railway Board chairman. The Board earlier rejected Mr. Kharge's proposal of the name of A.K. Mittal, General Manager, South Western Railway, with a direction to revise selection norms.
Mr. Kharge has sent a list of all officers — in order of seniority — and of the vigilance cases faced by any, and which of them fulfilled the twin criteria laid down for appointment as chairman — only those having field experience as zonal general manager and having two years of residual service qualify for consideration.
Mr. Kharge's move comes amid protests from senior officers that cases were being raked up to scuttle eligible officers from elevation.
The Central Vigilance Commission has so far cleared only four names, including that of Mr. Mittal, Kolkata Metro General Manager Radhey Shyam, acting chairman Arunendra Kumar and Northern Railway General Manager V.K. Gupta.
The secretary-general of the Federation of Railway Officers' Association has opposed the changing of rules for the post which fell vacant on July 1.
In his letter to Mr. Kharge, FROA secretary-general Shubhranshu maintained that changing the rules for filling a vacancy was akin to changing contract conditions after a tender had been opened. He said the CVC had opposed such moves and initiated disciplinary action.
Mr. Shubhranshu pointed out that rules could be changed only prospectively following the final approval of the Department of Personnel and Training and the ACC.
Mr. Shubhranshu has also objected to the latest move in the Board to "fish out" fresh vigilance cases against the "next eligible candidate".
In an earlier instance, a "trivial vigilance case" had been raked up to scuttle the prospects of North Frontier Railway General Manager R.S. Virdi, claimed Mr. Shubhranshu.

Communication about risk, e.g. cardiovascular risk, is a central task of physicians in their daily practice. In this paper we summarize the different methods of risk communication published in the literature. The different methods and their particular advantages and shortcomings are described and some recommendations are formulated. The most significant of them are: verbal qualifiers like, your risk for a cardiovascular event is moderate, is imprecise and difficult to interpret. Information about risk in numerical form is more comprehensible when delivered in natural frequencies compared to percentages, pictorial representations contribute to a better understanding. Probably not one single mode of representation is the most effective way to convey information about risk, but a combination of methods.

Women's Merino Wool Irish Cardigan
(Based on 34 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
This cozy merino wool sweater is a virtual sampler of Irish Aran knitting patterns. Each pattern symbolizes an aspect of local fishing culture: Celtic rope for Irish pride; fisherman's cable for safety on the waters; basket stitch for a plentiful catch; and diamond, the shape of a fishing net, for success. The warm wool is renowned for its extremely soft hand, providing warmth and comfort without the itch of lower-quality fibers.

Peruvian City and Sea Cardigan Sweater
(Based on 3 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
While visitors to Peru often spend time in Lima and Arequipa, fewer make the trip to the country's sweeping Pacific beaches. This baby alpaca cardigan is inspired by city and sea alike: The pattern on the cuffs and hem is adapated from baroque cathedral decorations in Arequipa, while a red ruffle peeks out like a wave lapping at the shore. A single button secures this flyaway-style cardigan.
Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge
Peruvian Kantuta Cardigan Sweater
(Based on 3 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
Our lightweight boiled-wool cardigan makes a crisp addition to your wardrobe in a rich red hue that will brighten any winter day. A blend of soft baby alpaca fiber and sheep's wool is "boiled" in a process similar to felting to create a fabric denser than a knitted sweater, making it warmer and more wind-resistant. Hand-embroidered designs inspired by the kantuta, Peru's national flower, decorate the front. One-button clasp at the neckline.
Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, XXLarge
Flora Roja Alpaca Cardigan
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
Combining Inca and Spanish design, Peruvian artisans hand-loom this bold black and red sweater using pure alpaca wool. Baroque Spanish florals mix with geometric Inca patterns, all embellished with hand-embroidered accents. Alpaca wool has kept people warm in the Andes for centuries with its lightweight, insulating fibers. The long, relaxed-fit cardigan has a zip front.
Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge

Scoring four goals in a game is hard freakin' work and Montreal's Lars Eller did just that last night. His fourth goal, however, came in spectacular style on a penalty shot against Winnipeg's Chris Mason.
Rather than doing things traditionally, Eller summoned the spirit of Denis Savard and whipped out the spin-o-rama. Wouldn't you know… It worked. Eller's goal capped off Montreal's scoring in what turned out to be a 7-3 rout of the Jets and a monster five point night for Eller.

Hokey smokes, what a move. Did he give his post-game interview in French? Just askin'.
- freddyboombatz - Jan 5, 2012 at 4:15 PM
This is why i hate the penalty shot/shootout. The goalie has no advantage. I think the skater should stay between the face off circles and not be able to swing real wide like that. Skater must go near full speed like he is being chased.

Savings of $1.30 (13% off).
"Body language and Behavioral Profiling" is a timely book on the vital roles of nonverbal communications and people reading in our everyday lives. We all use body language to communicate our innermost feelings thoughts and attitudes along with spoken words. Knowing the hints clues signals and signs that people use in business and social settings helps people to interpret behavioral motives and enables them to rapidly organize information for quick decisions that may be consequential. In addition facial expressions posture dress attire and gestures that people use all infer future behavior patterns. In this book body language signals and signs are broken down into understandable topics backed by authoritative sources. Practical pointers help readers to adopt better image and self-presentation skills. The social science tools that are covered will help readers to "get" the motives and behavior of others while improving their own intercommunications which helps people make more informed decisions meet personal goals and more fully protect themselves.

Child and Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Study (CAMS)
Principal Investigator: Golda S. Ginsburg, Ph.D.
Current Status: Recruiting Complete
This was a 6-year, multi-site, randomized controlled trial sponsored by the NIMH. The purpose of this study was to examine the relative efficacy of various treatments aimed at reducing symptoms of anxiety disorders (separation anxiety disorder, social phobia, and generalized anxiety disorder) in children and adolescents aged 7-17 years. A total of 488 youth with anxiety disorders were randomized to receive 12 weeks of sertraline (an SSRI), cognitive-behavioral-therapy (CBT), combination of sertraline and CBT, or pill placebo. Following treatment, youth completed a 6-month maintenance phase and were assessed by an independent evaluator at the end of treatment and 3 months and 6 months following treatment. Results indicated that treatment was effective in reducing anxiety symptoms in nearly 81% of children treated with combination therapy, 60% of those treated with CBT, and 55% of those treated with sertraline. All treatments were significantly more effective than placebo and combination therapy was superior to both CBT and sertraline alone. This comparative treatment trial confirms that SSRI, CBT, and especially their combination, are effective treatments that may offer hope to youth suffering from anxiety disorders and may alter the life trajectory of affected individuals.

Child/Adolescent Anxiety Multimodal Extended Long-term Study (CAMELS)
Principal Investigator: Golda S. Ginsburg, Ph.D.
Current Status: In progress
This study, funded by the NIMH, is a multi-site long-term follow-up of the sample of children and adolescents with anxiety disorders who participated in the original CAMS study (N=488). The goal of this study is to examine the long-term psychiatric, physical, and functional outcomes of youth with anxiety disorders who were treated between 2002 – 2007 with CBT, sertraline, a combination of CBT and sertraline, or a placebo. Specifically, each child will be evaluated every six months (once by phone and once in person) on measures of psychopathology, psychosocial and physical functioning, and service utilization. Results from this study will inform the field about: 1) the preventive effects of successful treatment on the development of later psychopathology, 2) treatment durability, 3) potential long-term adverse treatment effects, and 4) predictors of relapse.

Minnesota nature photographer Jim Brandenburg has 4 images included in
Top Forty Nature Photographs in the history of photography.
Minnesota claims three overall !
The exercise of selecting the Top Forty Nature Photographs of all time is
both an honor and a tremendous challenge. It may not be possible for anyone
to create a definitive selection of the forty best or most important
nature photographs, if only due to the vast variety of criteria that must be
considered. But the international League of Conservation Photographers
(iLCP) decided to try anyway and made their announcement this week to help
celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day.
The international League of Conservation Photographers is a fellowship of
the top professional photographers from around the world working today.
More than 100 photographers and editors associated with the iLCP nominated
images that they considered to be "the best" in what they felt represented
aesthetics, uniqueness, historical and scientific significance, and
conservation efforts. The photographers were not permitted to
The prestigious Top Forty nominations represent the work of 25 photographers including the legendary Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Eliot Porter. Four of Brandenburg¹s images were included in the final selection, more than any other photographer. "To have 4 of my photographs chosen by my peers as part of the top 40 nature photographs of all time is indeed the highlight of my career. I am honored beyond words," said Brandenburg.
The four Brandenburg images selected were:
Oryx on Namib Desert, Namibia, Africa;
Gray Wolf near BWCAW, Ely, Minnesota;
Leaping Arctic wolf, Ellesmere Island, Canada;

published in 1921 in National Geographic Magazine. It was a new technique
at the time, using flash photography from a canoe.
