Good Points
Good screen size, compact unit, fairly easy to use and install maps. Good screen mounting system. Good range of maps available.
Bad Points
Limited postcode digits. It became difficult to pick up signal to the point where it was sent off for repair. Only two agents in the country, service generally poor. Office in Germany seemed not interested in helping after sale.
General Comments
Having a Sat Nav that only works now and again is not much use. Sadly after 8 months and a replacement unit I have given up on the Becker Traffic Assist and returned it to the suppliers Viking Direct. Thankfully with Viking Direct being such a good supplier, there was a no-hassle return policy, which offset the poor customer service available from the manufacturers and UK service agent.

Over forty years of nurturing grapevines and making wine has taught the Oatley family many lessons. Site selection is paramount, that "sense of place", as where you choose to grow your grapes is vital to both style and quality. The Oatley approach is to overlay this philosophy with an outstanding team of grape growers and winemakers, using the best possible equipment, to allow them every chance of producing a winning wine.
The task is clear: to craft wines that have varietal clarity, focus and which reflect their provenance – in a very modern fashion. Wines of character and integrity. View all Wild Oats Wines

Jockeys Jose Espinoza and Lorenzo Lezcano were each fined $250 for their roles in a jocks' room disturbance on Thursday at Aqueduct.

Sidewalk work closing Madison Street
HENDERSON COUNTY, Ky. - A section of Madison Street will be closed all this week to install another big length of sidewalk between South Heights Elementary School and Green Street.
Hazex Construction Co. will be closing the street beginning at 7 a.m. Monday to install 450 feet of sidewalk and the closure will last through at least 5 p.m. Friday, according to Carson Cowan, engineering assistant with the city of Henderson.
"The sidewalk will begin just south of Madison Court, go to the property line of South Heights School and does not connect with any other sidewalks at this time," he said.
The project is being funded with the city's share of federal Community Development Block Grant funds as well as about $7,200 from the Henderson Housing Authority.
The city has plans to build sidewalk the entire length of Madison Street-Sand Lane between Green Street and the school. The section that will connect to the phase where work is currently beginning — between Woodland Drive and Commonwealth Drive — has already been funded, Cowan noted, "but we do not yet have the approval to proceed with construction."
The city is also planning on applying for funding for about 900 feet of sidewalk between Green Street and Fairground Lane this spring, according to Assistant City Manager William "Buzzy" Newman.
The new sidewalk will be similar in appearance to the sidewalk built on Sand Lane between Woodland Drive and Fairground Lane in 2011. That sidewalk is six feet wide and separated from the road by curbs, gutters and a grass median.

Divorce is rarely pretty, but for the rich and famous, it can get downright ugly, having all the financial details played out in the media.
John Cleese, the lanky comedian who rose to fame as a member of Monty Python, is the latest to have the terms of his split made public.
According to a British media report, Cleese will hand over $19.7 million in a divorce settlement, making his estranged third wife richer than the actor himself. Cleese was left with about $16 million after papers to finalize the divorce settlement were filed in California last week.
Cleese's former wife Alyce Fay Eichelberg will receive $13 million in assets that include an apartment in New York, a London home and half of a Santa Barbara beach house, the Daily Telegraph reported. Cleese will also have to pay her about $984,000 a year for seven years, the paper reported. The actor married Eichelberg, a psychotherapist, in 1992.
Cleese and Eichelberg aren't the only power couple to have expensive marital troubles.
"Because of the Internet and the more salacious nature of global society, a lot of high-profile cases are getting played out in the media," said Laura Wasser, a Los Angeles-based divorce lawyer who has represented many celebrities. "It's not necessarily a good thing for the litigants or judicial officers. You should be able to have litigation as personal as a family law matter not open to the public."
What makes divorce settlements so challenging? In contested divorce cases, each party involved has differing ideas of what assets -- ranging from real estate to stocks -- their soon-to-be former spouse is entitled to.
"This lifestyle that these people have lived has been incorporated in the very soul of their being," said Malcolm Taub, a prominent divorce lawyer in New York. "Each of the parties has a sense of correctness and an absolute right to continue the life they had during the marriage."
High-profile divorces can be especially painful in cases that involve a celebrity spouse and a nonfamous party.
"One of the parties may feel dethroned," Taub said. "Usually that creates pain and usually the remedy of that is to seek at least a major share of the assets accumulated during marriage. Contested, high-profile divorces are fought with pain, issues and unfortunately a great deal of loss."
Other ex-husbands, such as Michael Jordan, Craig McCaw and Neil Diamond, are all paying their ex-wives generous amounts of alimony.
"There are always issues of valuation in high-profile cases, but there are also human issues," Taub said of big settlements. "People may want to avoid the spotlight of the public and are willing to make compromises in order to put the case behind them."
While some high-profile divorces have managed to stay sealed (Texas billionaire David Saperstein is rumored to have paid his ex-wife more than $500 million), here's a look at eight of the most expensive divorces of all time.
Hailed as the most expensive divorce in the world, Australian media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, 78, paid $1.7 billion of his assets, with $110 million of it in cash, to ex-wife Anna Murdoch Mann, after a bitter divorce. The ex-couple, who were married for 32 years and had three children, are now both remarried, but have had their fair share of heated debate since then.

A fetus who was diagnosed at 25 weeks of gestation with isoimmune AV block presented at 34 weeks with a precipitous fall in ventricular rate and periods of tachycardia. Magnetocardiography revealed the tachycardia to be ventricular. After delivery, nonsustained ventricular tachycardia continued. The baby then successfully paced, and at higher ventricular rates the tachycardia resolved. Five years later the child has normal ventricular function and is doing well.

I have a client with low budget, so we decided to choose a template for WP to get modified. The WordPress themes here rock, but all I come across are too corporative-looking and the non-corporative are too low-designed.
The website will have sections like Bio, Blog, Video, Pictures, Download, Concerts…
The only suitable I've found so far is Sofa Rooster.
So I might have missed the right one – give me your suggestions. Thank you!
Come on, don't be shy. It doesn't need to be the most suitable in the world, I can do modification.

Excellence was the theme of the Conference, focussing on both how to recognise excellence in all its forms in the schools we inspect and also to identify what excellence looks like in inspector practice and inspection quality as a whole.

I drink beer from red cups and chug down shots in jelly shot glasses. That said, you can't really blame me for feeling a wee bit pretentious when I'm sipping wine from a long-stemmed glass while mingling with hoards of inquisitive (read: nosy) relatives at our annual family Christmas party.
But here's a game changer: Mercer's wine-flavored ice cream that takes the fancy parts out of wine and injects a whole lot of fun and unconventionalism into it.
Each tub of Mercer's packs a punch with its 5% alcohol content. It also comes in a variety of flavors, so you're bound to find one your mom likes (so she won't object to having it served after dinner, of course): Cherry Merlot, Chocolate Cabernet, Peach White Zinfandel, Port, Red Raspberry, Chardonnay, and Riesling.
I'm leaning towards Red Raspberry, what about you? Cheers!

Study Finds Inconsistent Teaching Quality In First Grade Classrooms
A nationwide study of first grade classrooms finds that while many teachers create positive social environments in the classroom, most provide inadequate instructional support. The report is published in the March issue of The Elementary School Journal.
Authors Megan Stuhlman and Robert Pianta (University of Virginia) used direct observations to assess the social and instructional quality of interactions between teachers and students in 820 first grade classrooms. Previous studies have indicated that the quality of such interactions can have a significant impact on student learning, especially in early grades.
The researchers found 23 percent of classrooms to be of "high overall quality," with teachers getting high marks for creating a positive social climate in the classroom and for providing strong instructional support to students. Twenty-eight percent of classrooms were deemed "mediocre," with teachers scoring just below the sample mean on all study measures. Seventeen percent were "low overall quality."
A fourth category of classrooms characterized by "positive emotional climate, low academic demand" accounted for 31 percent of classrooms""the largest category in the sample. In these classrooms, Stuhlman explains, teachers are warm and do not discipline using threats, but they tend not to give constructive feedback that helps students understand concepts.
"We found that quality, particularly instructional features of teacher behavior, was rather low across the sample," Pianta says. "In other studies we have demonstrated the connection between these observed teacher-child interactions and student learning gains. So what we are seeing here may influence the extent to which children can perform at standards consistent with accountability frameworks such as No Child Left Behind."
The study also casts doubt on traditional assumptions about the factors that influence educational quality. Class size and teacher credentials, for example, had little impact on quality. And in a finding that may come as a surprise to advocates of private school vouchers, public school classrooms actually fared a bit better than private school classes.
"[M]ore public schools were categorized as high overall quality than would be expected by chance," the authors write. "Moreover, equal proportions of public and private schools were in the lowest rated classroom type."
The results suggest that educational opportunity will not be improved simply by shipping students to private schools, Pianta says. "Instead, strong, instructionally-focused, and effective professional development for a large number of teachers is perhaps the most important next step."

Software Features: Released in 1999, Synchro is available in 16- and 32-bit form. A client/server system, it replaced AFSynergy--the DOS-based product sold by AFS since 1989 and currently in use at more than 250 foundries worldwide.
Synchro uses the point-and-click features of Windows to coverall aspects of foundry management from estimating to invoicing. It has a "base" system for most foundry needs with option modules for other requirements.
The base system covers: order processing, contract review for ISO 9000 and QS 9000, photos and video clips to "show how," storage of detailed product methoding, and scheduling (via graphical drag 'n' drop) for both infinite and finite capacity scheduling. It handles all documentation (acknowledgements, process sheets, shipping memos and invoices) and covers data collection, work-booking, scrap-tracking and analysis, inventory and shipments. All reports and documents are created via "Crystal Reports" software, allowing individual users to personally design and amend their paperwork. Web tools allow linkage of schedules and documents to customers and suppliers via Internet and Intranets. By design, the software contains no accounting module; instead it links to virtually any popular accounting software package in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Option modules comprise estimating and quoting, purchase order/inventory management and Internet (EDI) connectivity.
Software Applications: Casting via sand, shell, investment, permanent mold, centrifugal and diecasting.
Computer Platforms: Programmed via a three-layer technique using Visual Basic for the user interface (with custom ActiveX components), C++ for data access and manipulation (utilizing the latest Microsoft ADO components), and SQL Server or Access for the data management layer. Operates on Pentium PCs and equivalents, NT and Novell networks with Windows 98, NT and 2000 clients.
Number of Installations: More than 20 worldwide, including Babs Foundry, Inc., Norton, Massachusetts; Tommie Corp., Thorsby, Alabama; Custom Aluminum, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada; and Investacast, Ilfracombe, England.
Training, Support and Update Options: Training is available either on-site orvia courses at AFS headquarters in Des Plaines, Illinois. Typically 4-6 days instruction is required per base installation.
Case History: In 1989, Superior Aluminum Castings, Inc., a green sand aluminum foundry in Independence, Missouri, replaced its previous data collection system with the then DOS-based AFS product. Over a period of 12 months, control of all production-oriented functions was invested in the system. The staff, led by then President Dwight Barnhard, implemented estimating, costing, quoting, production scheduling and quality functions, together with creation of acknowledgements, route cards, packing slips, shipping memos, invoices and credit memos. The system was in use continually from its installation until this year when control was transferred to the replacement AFS product, Synchro [32].
The software was implemented quickly with a minimum of disturbance. The ability to customize both documents and management reports to reflect current needs was welcomed by all users. The Windows-based system was thought much easier to use than all earlier systems. David Barnhard, Superior's current president, credits the software package with enabling the company to operate efficiently with less than half of the office staff that otherwise would have been employed. The installation allows several people to have concurrent access.
One major innovation is that each day the company can analyze its performance and profitability for that day. As a result, action can be taken to improve favorable trends or to reverse unfavorable ones as early as the next day.
Benefits that are seen by Superior from the replacement Windows package include:
* video clips and photos that instruct workers on "best job practice;"
* Windows "drag 'n' drop" techniques that revolutionize finite capacity;
* production scheduling and improvement of customer service;
* documents that can be customized within the "safety net" of a package system.

Nutrition and Physical Activity Recommendations
Eat Right
Be Active
Children and Adolescents
|From the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for America
It is a Balance.
Achieving a healthy weight and being fit includes choosing healthy foods and being physically active on a regular basis. The equation is simple…calories in (food intake) = calories out (energy expended) to maintain weight. To lose weight, calories expended must be greater than calories eaten. It is really a balance! That is why it is important not to tip the scale where you eat more calories than you burn. When we tip the scale, we may be at-risk for gaining weight. This means that we may eat too many calories or more than our body needs, or it may mean that we are not burning calories because we are not being physically active.
Eating healthy is not a form of dieting; it is a change in your lifestyle. Use the U. S. Dietary Guidelines and the Food Guide Pyramid can help guide your healthy food choices.
Key Information
64% of Wisconsin adults are overweight or obese and the number is rising. (CDC BRFSS, 2011)
25% of Wisconsin high school students are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight and the number is rising. (CDC YRBS, 2011)
The obesity rate among Wisconsin adults has more than doubled from 1990 to 2002. (CDC BRFSS, 1990, 2011)
Adult activity levels have remained virtually unchanged over time, while children's levels have declined. Only about ½ of Wisconsin adults meet minimum activity levels (CDC BRFSS, CDC YBRS).
Poor diet and physical inactivity are the second leading underlying cause of death behind only tobacco use. Furthermore, obesity and inactivity are projected to surpass tobacco as the leading cause of death in the next couple of years. Obesity and an inactive lifestyle are connected to an increased risk for the following diseases:
Cardiovascular disease and stroke
Some types of cancer (such as endometrial, breast, prostate, and colon)
and a number of other diseases
The Nutrition and Physical Activity Program will incorporate the parameters that have been established for the National Program. These include:
Employ an integrated approach to obesity prevention and control using both nutrition and physical activity strategies.
Adopt a social ecological model that addresses the obesity epidemic beyond individual responsibility and that recognizes the importance of environmental and policy issues that affect and sustain behavior.
Apply the theories and techniques of social marketing to identify target populations and select interventions that will encourage high participation rates initially and address how to maintain participation long-term.
Use evidence-based and promising strategies to achieve better health.
Conduct strong evaluation to assess the effectiveness of interventions.
Build on federal funding to mobilize additional resources through strong partnerships with a wide range of organizations and agencies.

Bring Your Own Policy: Why Accessibility Standards Need to Be Contextually Sensitive
