Additionally, in recognition that user interaction with dates and times is not always in terms of numbers, but rather in terms of events, etc., occurring at or around a particular time period of interest, systems and method having date relation UI techniques are provided.

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for selecting a date or time, or a range of dates or time. More particularly, the present invention is directed to user interface (UI) mechanism(s) enabling the selection of date(s)/time(s) in a computing system in an improved manner.
The specification of dates is becoming an increasingly important part of UIs of any application in which a date range is part of a query, or part of a predicate that selects specific information out of a larger collection of information. For instance, the specification of dates and/or times, or ranges of dates and/or times, is becoming an increasingly important part of UIs of "interactive applications," including computer software applications, interactive Internet applications, interactive TV applications, search engines, VCRs, DVRs, etc. Exemplary user acts that can implicate the selection of such a range include selecting emails, documents, photos, financial transactions, television shows, or movies out of large collections of the same and selecting a range of dates/times in scheduling applications, such as calendars for personal use or for use in connection with travel Web sites.
Specifying date ranges, however, is currently problematic for a variety of reasons. One problem is that time can be difficult to represent graphically in a concise manner. For example, the overall universe from which one may want to select a date range can often be quite long—years or even decades. Representing this universe concisely is difficult, especially when high or multiple resolutions are desired, e.g., to the hour or minute or in connection with limited display space. Moreover, the recall of dates in the specific form of calendar dates is difficult for most people. Instead, people are better at recalling dates as being connected with events—"the time I went fishing with Bob."
One common current approach for selecting dates is sometimes referred to as component-wise selection. With component-wise selection, one selects a date by specifying year, month, day, and possibly other time components individually by selecting from a list, by typing, or by a combination of both. This is common in Web sites, such as travel Web sites, wherein a user is asked to specify a date for travel. Typically, in such a scenario, a user selects a month (a first component) of travel from a list of twelve months. A user also selects the day (a second component) of the month, from a list of total days for that month, or more generically, from a list of possibly 31 days. Then, a user selects a year (a third component) of travel. The user may also express a time of day in hours (a fourth component) to travel. In this sense, each of the components represents a different granularity for the user to hone or home in on a date. In this regard, granularity refers to a way of representing time at different scales, like day, month, or year; however, the selection of four or more different components can be tedious, particularly if more than one date, e.g., departure and return travel dates, must be entered. While this approach in some sense addresses the granularity problem, namely that different selections using the same user interface may implicate vastly different periods of time, this approach does not work well for an application wherein the user is unsure of the date being selected. If the user is searching for a date the user is unsure of, honing in on an exact date via component-wise selection is not very useful in finding an appropriate date range, and would implicate many trial and error repeat entries by the user to find a useful range.
Another common current approach is sometimes referred to as a "calendar picker" mechanism. With a calendar picker, one enters a date by picking it off of a graphical representation of a calendar. Often, this is a "month-at-a-time" calendar, with arrow buttons to allow one to move between different months. This type of picker is typical for entering a single date rather than a range; however, the week-at-a-time and day-at-a-time views often seen in calendar programs are also of this type of picker, in which case they can be used for picking a range. While calendar pickers do provide a graphical representation of time, they do not do so in a manner that scales for either a large universe of times, or for a wide variety of granularities. The calendar picker also does not address the above-identified recollection problem, namely that sometimes users do not remember events or occurrences for which they may be searching as "a date" that fits into a "calendar."
While both of the commonly used current approaches, i.e., component-wise and calendaring, address the general problem of specifying dates, neither is adequate for both ease of use or fast selection of dates. Additionally, neither approach adequately addresses the recollection problem.
Most other existing work falls into the following categories: (a) the use of temporal attributes for directing retrieval of information from temporal or multi-media databases or objects, (b) the use of timelines to visualize large bodies of temporal information, wherein a timeline is a graphical or textual display of events in chronological order and is an important technique for representation of large temporal data sets.
For instance, R. B. Allen's "Interactive Timelines as Information Systems Interfaces" (August 1995) discloses using temporal attributes of a query or a context to drive a search, for retrieval and browsing of relevant information. Allen's work uses temporal attributes of information as useful interfaces for digital libraries and interactive textbooks. C. W. Deacon's "The Wall Chart of World History" (1988) discloses the use of temporal alignment and interrelationships of events to drive the retrieval of information from larger event databases.
Catherine Plaisant's and Ben Shneiderman's "An Information Architecture to Support the Visualization of Personal Histories" (1998) discloses some techniques on visualization of timelines relating to "visualization of personal histories." In this regard, the work of Plaisant and Shneiderman discloses a technique for intuitive visualization of personal history data using graphical timelines, wherein personal history data involves groups of events that are aggregated into facets, e.g., doctor visits, hospitalizations or lab tests.
Some audio-editing programs also include a time UI mechanism to select a snippet out of a song. For instance, a song is displayed as a timeline (linear), which allows a user to select a "left" and "right" edge of the clip, e.g., by clicking on the left and right mouse buttons. In this case, however, the user is picking a "relative time," i.e., a time relative to the start of the song, but a date or a date range is not being selected. Thus, in addition to being linear timelines, these are directed at selecting parts of particular multi-media objects. Other ways of visualizing timelines that make better use of available screen space involve curves and distortion techniques such as fisheye, hierarchical or log nonlinearities. G. W. Furnas' "Generalized Fisheye Views" (1986) and M. Sarkar's and M. H. Brown's "Graphical Fisheye Views of Graphs" (1992) disclose fish-eye view techniques, which optimize, i.e., distort, the screen real estate to provide an appropriate level of display context, tapering off nonlinearly while moving away from a current focus level.
B. Johnson's and B. Shneiderman's "Tree-Maps: A Space Filling Approach to the Visualization of Hierarchical Information Structures" (1991) discloses hierarchical timeline displays, which facilitate zoom-out and zoom-in between overviews and details. In log transformations, the time axis is transformed to log scale to allow extremely large duration entities to be shown along with relatively short duration entities. Other existing work, such as temporal reasoning work, discloses logical reasoning with time at multiple granularities, but is not concerned with homing in on a particular date or time range.
As mentioned, granularity is a way of representing time at different scales, like day, month, or year. X. Peng Ning's, Sean Wang's and Sushil Jajodia's "An Algebraic Representation of Calendars" (2000) and Carlo Combi's "Representing Absolute Time Expressions with Vagueness, Indeterminacy and Different Granularities" (2000) disclose techniques for logically representing such granularities and being able to perform logical operations over these representations. The formalisms of Ning, Wang and Jajodia, and Combi, however, are not concerned with visual representations to an end user. Rather, their disclosure relates to logical representations of time for temporal reasoning engines.
Accordingly, there is a need for an improved mechanism that makes it easier and faster for users to specify dates and ranges of dates. Additionally, there is a need for an improved date selection mechanism that addresses different granularities of time. Still further, there is a need for an improved date selection mechanism that addresses the problem of linking user associations with a date, and the date itself.
In view of the foregoing, the present invention is directed to systems and methods for selecting a time/date, or a range of times/dates. In one aspect, the invention provides non-linear timeline UI mechanism(s) for selecting a date, or selecting a date range. In recognition that user interaction with and recall of time varies depending upon how far away the time period of interest is from the present time, the non-linear timeline provides a UI mechanism for selecting a time having different granularities of time in different portions of the timeline. Additionally, in recognition that user interaction with dates and times is not always in terms of numbers, but rather in terms of events, etc., occurring at or around a particular time period of interest, systems and method having date relation UI techniques are provided.
In various embodiments, systems and methods for selecting a date are provided including inputting a change to a selector input portion of a time indicator user interface component from a first position to a second position and from an indication of a first time to an indication of a second time, wherein the difference from the first time to the second time changes non-linearly with the difference from the first position to the second position. In other embodiments, systems and methods for selecting a date range are provided, including inputting a date range via a date range selection mechanism of a date range user interface component including a first input portion associated with a lower limit date of the date range and a second input portion associated with an upper limit date of the date range and inputting a change to a position of the date range from a first position to a second position via a third input portion of the date range selection mechanism, wherein the duration of time specified by the difference between the time specified by the lower limit date and the time specified by the upper limit date changes non-linearly with the difference from the first position to the second position.
Other features and embodiments of the present invention are described below.
The systems and methods for selecting a time/date, or a range of times/dates in accordance with the present invention are further described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
As described above, there is a need for an improved mechanism for selecting or entering date(s) to specify one or more dates, e.g., for the purpose of populating one or more date fields. In consideration of the shortcomings of the prior art, the invention provides improved UI mechanism(s) for specifying date(s) or a date range. Such mechanism(s) are relevant to many applications, and thus the invention is not to be limited to any illustrative examples described below. For instance, as mentioned, such a mechanism can apply to any application in which a date range is part of a query, or part of a predicate that selects specific information out of a larger collection of information in accordance with some selection of date(s). Examplary selection processes include the selection of emails, documents, photos, financial transactions, television shows, movies, etc. out of large collections of the same.
In one aspect, the invention provides improved visual tools for homing into and specifying a date or date range. In another aspect, the invention provides techniques for relating events to times or dates to help a user converge onto a date or time range rather than using dates or dates ranges as a sole driver of a retrieval process.
Exemplary Networked and Distributed Environments
One of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate that a computer or other client or server device can be deployed as part of a computer network, or in a distributed computing environment. In this regard, the present invention pertains to any computer system having any number of memory or storage units, and any number of applications and processes occurring across any number of storage units or volumes, which may be used in connection with specifying a date. The present invention may apply to an environment with server computers and client computers deployed in a network environment or distributed computing environment, having remote or local storage. The present invention may also be applied to standalone computing devices, having programming language functionality, interpretation and execution capabilities for generating, receiving and transmitting information in connection with remote or local services.
Distributed computing facilitates sharing of computer resources and services by direct exchange between computing devices and systems. These resources and services include the exchange of information, cache storage, and disk storage for files. Distributed computing takes advantage of network connectivity, allowing clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire enterprise. In this regard, a variety of devices may have applications, objects or resources that may implicate the mechanism for selecting dates in accordance with the invention.
In a distributed computing architecture, computers, which may have traditionally been used solely as clients, communicate directly among themselves and can act as both clients and servers, assuming whatever role is most efficient for the network. This reduces the load on servers and allows all of the clients to access resources available on other clients, thereby increasing the capability and efficiency of the entire network. Services that use the date selection mechanism(s) in accordance with the present invention may thus be distributed among clients and servers, acting in a way that is efficient for the entire network.
Distributed computing can help businesses deliver services and capabilities more efficiently across diverse geographic boundaries. Moreover, distributed computing can move data closer to the point where data is consumed acting as a network caching mechanism. Distributed computing also allows computing networks to dynamically work together using intelligent agents. Agents reside on peer computers and communicate various kinds of information back and forth. Agents may also initiate tasks on behalf of other peer systems. For instance, intelligent agents can be used to prioritize tasks on a network, change traffic flow, search for files locally or determine anomalous behavior such as a virus and stop it before it affects the network. All sorts of other services may be contemplated as well. Since data may in practice be physically located in one or more locations, the ability to distribute services that make use of the date selection mechanism(s) described herein is of great utility in such a system.
It can also be appreciated that an object, such as 110 c, may be hosted on another computing device 10 a, 10 b, etc. or 110 a, 110 b, etc. Thus, although the physical environment depicted may show the connected devices as computers, such illustration is merely exemplary and the physical environment may alternatively be depicted or described comprising various digital devices such as PDAs, televisions, MP3 players, etc., software objects such as interfaces, COM objects and the like.
There are a variety of systems, components, and network configurations that support distributed computing environments. For example, computing systems may be connected together by wireline or wireless systems, by local networks or widely distributed networks. Currently, many of the networks are coupled to the Internet, which provides the infrastructure for widely distributed computing and encompasses many different networks.
In home networking environments, there are at least four disparate network transport media that may each support a unique protocol, such as Power line, data (both wireless and wired), voice (e.g., telephone) and entertainment media. Most home control devices such as light switches and appliances may use power line for connectivity. Data Services may enter the home as broadband (e.g., either DSL or Cable modem) and are accessible within the home using either wireless (e.g., HomeRF or 802.11b) or wired (e.g., Home PNA, Cat 5, even power line) connectivity. Voice traffic may enter the home either as wired (e.g., Cat 3) or wireless (e.g., cell phones) and may be distributed within the home using Cat 3 wiring. Entertainment media, or other graphical data, may enter the home either through satellite or cable and is typically distributed in the home using coaxial cable. IEEE 1394 and DVI are also emerging as digital interconnects for clusters of media devices. All of these network environments and others that may emerge as protocol standards may be interconnected to form an intranet that may be connected to the outside world by way of the Internet. In short, a variety of disparate sources exist for the storage and transmission of data, and consequently, moving forward, computing devices will require ways of sharing data, such as data accessed or utilized incident to program objects, which make use of the date selection mechanism(s) in accordance with the present invention.
In a network environment in which the communications network/bus 14 is the Internet, for example, the servers 10 a, 10 b, etc. can be Web servers with which clients 110 a, 110 b, 110 c, 110 d, 110 e, etc. communicate via any of a number of known protocols such as HTTP. Servers 10 a, 10 b, etc. may also serve as clients 110 a, 110 b, 110 c, 110 d, 110 e, etc., as may be characteristic of a distributed computing environment. Communications may be wired or wireless, where appropriate. The invention also considers the vast number of Web services, peer to peer networks and distributed computing frameworks that are continually evolving as platforms for the delivery of applications and services anywhere, any of which may implicate the UI selection techniques of the invention. Client devices 110 a, 110 b, 110 c, 110 d, 110 e, etc. may or may not communicate via communications network/bus 14, and may have independent communications associated therewith. For example, in the case of a TV or VCR, there may or may not be a networked aspect to the control thereof, and a user might select a date with a remote control device interoperating with an on screen UI. Each client computer 110 a, 110 b, 110 c, 110 d, 110 e, etc. and server computer 10 a, 10 b, etc. may be equipped with various application program modules or objects 135 and with connections or access to various types of storage elements or objects, across which files may be stored or to which portion(s) of files may be downloaded or migrated. Any computer 10 a, 10 b, 110 a, 110 b, etc. may be responsible for the maintenance and updating of a database 20 or other storage element in accordance with the present invention, such as a database or memory 20 for storing data processed according to a date selection of the invention. Thus, the present invention can be utilized in a computer network environment having client computers 110 a, 110 b, etc. that can access and interact with a computer network/bus 14 and server computers 10 a, 10 b, etc. that may interact with client computers 110 a, 110 b, etc. and other like devices, and databases 20.
Exemplary Computing Device
Although not required, the invention can be implemented via an operating system, for use by a developer of services for a device or object, and/or included within application software that operates in connection with date selection in accordance with the invention. Software may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by one or more computers, such as client workstations, servers or other devices. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures and the like that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Typically, the functionality of the program modules may be combined or distributed as desired in various embodiments. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations and protocols. Other well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers (PCs), automated teller machines, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based systems, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, appliances, lights, environmental control elements, minicomputers, mainframe computers and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network/bus or other data transmission medium. In a distributed computing environment, described in more detail above, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices, and client nodes may in turn behave as server nodes.
With reference to
A user may enter commands and information into the computer 110 through input devices such as a keyboard or pointing device, commonly referred to as a mouse, trackball or touch pad. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 120 through a user input interface 160 that is coupled to the system bus 121, but may be connected by other interface and bus structures, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 191 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 121 via an interface, such as a video interface 190, which may in turn communicate with video memory. In addition to monitor 191, computers may also include other peripheral output devices such as speakers and a printer, which may be connected through an output peripheral interface.
Computer 110 typically includes a variety of computer readable media. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by computer 110 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CDROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can accessed by computer 110. Communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer readable media.
The computer 110 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only,
The drives and their associated computer storage media discussed above and illustrated in
The computer 110 may operate in a networked or distributed environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 180. The remote computer 180 may be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 10. The logical connections depicted in
Exemplary Distributed Computing Frameworks or Architectures
Various distributed computing frameworks have been and are being developed in light of the convergence of personal computing and the Internet. Individuals and business users alike are provided with a seamlessly interoperable and Web-enabled interface for applications and computing devices, making computing activities increasingly Web browser or network-oriented.
For example, an exemplary distributed computing framework or platform includes servers, building-block services, such as Web-based data storage and downloadable device software. Generally speaking, a distributed computing framework provides (1) the ability to make an entire range of computing devices work together and to have user information automatically updated and synchronized in all of them, (2) increased interactive capability for Web sites, enabled by greater use of XML rather than HTML, (3) online services that feature customized access and delivery of products and services to the user from a central starting point for the management of various applications, such as e-mail, for example, or other software, (4) centralized data storage, which increases efficiency and ease of access to information, as well as synchronization of information among users and devices, (5) the ability to integrate various communications media, such as e-mail, faxes, and telephones, (6) for developers, the ability to create reusable modules, thereby increasing productivity and reducing the number of programming errors and (7) many other cross-platform integration features as well. In this regard, the mechanism(s) of the invention may be provided as an integral part of such an application development framework, such that developers can easily include the mechanism(s) in new applications, and easily deliver the UI mechanism(s) to end users as part of various services and applications, for instance, that may search through a variety of data wherever located.
Selection of Date(s) or Date Range
In accordance with the invention, a modular, scalable and reusable "timeline widget" for selecting dates is provided for developers and application providers to use in connection with inputting date(s). As referred to herein, the "specification of date(s)" includes specifying either a single date or a range of dates. In an exemplary implementation, sufficient for a lot of applications, the invention includes resolutions that range from seconds to years. For other unique applications, resolution can be modified accordingly. For instance, in a log of computer processed data recording transaction data every nanosecond, resolution can be tailored to the nanosecond to second range.
In the embodiment of
In this regard,
Note that the instantiation presented in
Variations on the embodiments illustrated in
Other variations, of course, are possible. The time-line aspect of the proposed invention is different from this existing work in that it provides visual tools for homing into and specifying a date or date-range rather than using dates or time ranges as interfaces to large bodies of temporal information.
Relation of Date(s)
In another aspect, the techniques described above can be augmented in accordance with the invention by utilizing "date relation" techniques. As mentioned earlier, humans often have difficulty remembering dates in absolute tenns, e.g., Jun. 18, 1998, without some great significance to the date or time itself. Instead, people often remember dates in relation to other cues, very often events of some kind, e.g., "when Bob and I went fishing in Minnesota" or "around Thanksgiving holiday last year".
The "date relating" techniques of the invention solve this problem by supplementing the above-described timelines with auxiliary information to help users find a date range of interest. In particular, as the user drags around the various selectors of the above-described timeline mechanisms, the user interface somewhere displays text, images, or sounds related to the currently-selected date range. The events may be public, personal (private) or a combination of multiple events can be combined.
Additionally, to the extent that eventing information has a time granularity associated therewith, the eventing information can be formulated to match the period of granularity being examined by the timeline UI mechanism. For instance, one might remember that some item of interest occurred during the Vietnam War, but not specifically, the dates. The Vietnam War has a granularity of years. The World Series typically takes place over a couple of weeks, and thus the World Series has a granularity of weeks. The Superbowl has a granularity of a few hours on one day. Thus, depending upon the granularity of the range being sought, a user can specify a corresponding granularity of event recall information for "date relating" purposes.
Each agent A1, A2 . . . AN represents algorithm(s), which distill information in the data source(s) DS1 to DSM, combining it with information from the UI mechanism(s), and outputs specific candidates for presentation, perhaps with some additional metadata such as confidence of applicability.
Finally, an arbiter takes the output of the agents A1 to AN, information about the user, and the UI state and determines the final set of agents to be presented. While this architecture may have some applicability in so-called Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, it has not been applied to the problem of event selection for date-picking UI mechanisms.
The event-relation aspect of the invention differs from existing work in that it uses events to help users converge onto a date or time range rather than using dates or times range alone as a driver of retrieval for events.
The present invention can thus improve upon any application, e.g., an e-mail client, wherein date selection may be implicated as a portion of a user input process.
While some exemplary embodiments herein are described in connection with software residing on a computing device, one or more portions of the invention may also be implemented via an operating system, application programming interface (API) or a "middle man" object, hardware, firmware, such that a UI or mechanism for date/time selection may be included in, supported in or accessed via any of a distributed computing framework's languages and services. There are thus multiple ways of implementing the present invention, e.g., an appropriate API, tool kit, driver code, operating system, standalone or downloadable software object, etc. which enables applications, nodes, devices and services to use the UI for date selection of the invention. The invention contemplates the use of the invention from the standpoint of an API (or other software object), as well as from a software or hardware object that communicates date selection information. Thus, various implementations of the invention described herein have aspects that are wholly in hardware, partly in hardware and partly in software, as well as in software.
As mentioned above, while exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described in connection with various computing devices and network architectures, the underlying concepts may be applied to any computing device or system in which it is desirable to select a date or date range. Thus, the techniques for selecting date(s) in accordance with the present invention may be applied to a variety of applications and devices. For instance, various implementations of the invention may be applied to the operating system of a computing device, provided as a separate object on the device, as part of another object, as a downloadable object from a server, as a "middle man" between a device or object and the network, as a distributed object, as hardware, in memory, a combination of any of the foregoing, etc. While exemplary programming languages, names and examples are chosen herein as representative of various choices, these languages, names and examples are not intended to be limiting. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that there are numerous ways of providing object code that achieves the same, similar or equivalent functionality achieved by the various embodiments of the invention.
As mentioned, the various techniques described herein may be implemented in connection with hardware or software or, where appropriate, with a combination of both. Thus, the methods and apparatus of the present invention, or certain aspects or portions thereof, may take the form of program code (i.e., instructions) embodied in tangible media, such as floppy diskettes, CD-ROMs, hard drives, or any other machine-readable storage medium, wherein, when the program code is loaded into and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention. In the case of program code execution on programmable computers, the computing device will generally include a processor, a storage medium readable by the processor (including volatile and non-volatile memory and/or storage elements), at least one input device, and at least one output device. One or more programs that may utilize the mechanism(s), technique(s) and/or algorithm(s) of the present invention, e.g., through the use of a data processing API or the like, are preferably implemented in a high level procedural or object oriented programming language to communicate with a computer system. However, the program(s) can be implemented in assembly or machine language, if desired. In any case, the language may be a compiled or interpreted language, and combined with hardware implementations.
The methods and apparatus of the present invention may also be practiced via communications embodied in the form of program code that is transmitted over some transmission medium, such as over electrical wiring or cabling, through fiber optics, or via any other form of transmission, wherein, when the program code is received and loaded into and executed by a machine, such as an EPROM, a gate array, a programmable logic device (PLD), a client computer, a video recorder or the like, or a receiving machine having the signal processing capabilities as described in exemplary embodiments above becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention.

Olympic and collegiate women's gymnastics don't resemble each other. The college routines are easier. Paradoxically, the scores are higher.
But UCLA freshman Samantha Peszek reached back into her Olympic training to win the balance beam Sunday in the NCAA Championships at Cleveland.
The McCordsville, Ind., 19-year-old, a Cathedral High School graduate, became what is believed to be the first college gymnast to include a standing back tuck with a full twist. She had not trained for that skill on beam since September but had practiced it on floor. ...

500 Days of Summer is a film that is equal parts comedy and drama. It was released in 2009. The 500 days in the title refers to the length of the romantic relationship of the two leads, Tom and Summer, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. The film jumps around from day to day telling the story of their relationship. It does not proceed in a linear fashion.
Tom and Summer first meet when she is the assistant to his boss. He instantly has a crush on her but she tells him that she does not believe in love or romance and does not want a relationship. Tom still ends up pursuing Summer and they begin dating. He becomes jealous when another man flirts with her. Summer and Tom go to see the movie The Graduate which scares Summer off and she initiates a breakup with Tom. Tom is depressed and his friends reach out to his sister to try and get her to help.
A few months pass and Summer and Tom see each at the wedding of a co-worker. They end up dancing together and having a good time. Summer then invites Tom to a party at her house. He goes, hoping that this is the beginning of reconciliation. While at the party, he finds out that Summer is engaged to someone else. Tom is devastated. He returns home and spirals into a deep depression, drinking a lot of alcohol. Tom can no longer continue at his job and he decides to quit. He makes the decision to focus on working as an architect full-time.
Tom then runs into Summer at one of their old meeting spots. She tells him she was wrong to not believe in love and relationships. She also says she has found true love with someone else. Tom is, of course, really hurt but Summer tries to console him. She tells him she is happy to see that he is happy. Tom then heads to a job interview where he meets a girl also applying for a job. He and girl talk and they begin to hit it off. Tom decides to ask the girl on a date and she accepts. When he asks her what her name is, she replies it's Autumn. The movie ends on a positive note.
Actress Zooey Deschanel was likely not giggling when she posted to her website Hello Giggles to defend herself from an article in The Los Angeles Times that called her a "cow". In the Times piece writer Patt Morrison took the (500) Days of Summer actress to task for her comments from a recent BAFTA event being attended by British royals Will and Kate. The quote in question revolved around the suitability of Downtown L.A. for hosting the royal couple. "I just don't want them to see the worst of L.
It's primetime pilot pick-up time, and Fox has started things off right: the network just picked up "The New Girl" to series. "The New Girl" is a new comedy pilot starring Zooey Deschanel as a teacher who, after a bad breakup, rearranges her life and moves in to a new place with three guys as her roommates. Deschanel will co-star with Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, and Damon Wayans Jr. The pilot was red-hot coming into this week so it's not much of a surprise that Fox picked it up to series before the rest of the pilots on the slate.
Among Fox's many pickups for next season is the new comedy "The New Girl," which will take over the prime time slot after "Glee" that "Raising Hope" failed to capitalize on. But it's not the time slot that will make this show a success...it's Zooey Deschanel. Fox has released a preview of the show that was screened at its upfront presentation, and the normally very deadpan Deschanel brings a whole new level of quirkiness to this character. It has to be hazardous to your health, watching someone be this quirky and adorable.
Zooey Deschanel has made her name over the last decade being absolutely adorable in such films as "Almost Famous," "Elf," and "All the Real Girls" before seeing a surprising breakout hit in the indie romance "(500) Days of Summer." Now, after guest stints on "Weeds" and "Bones," she's set to have a series all her own with "Chicks and Dicks." The series is being developed under writer-producer Liz Meriwether for Fox, and is said to deal with the sexual politics of young men and women, a subject familiar to Meriwether.

About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the manager
My group and I have rented a house every year for the past five years in the beautiful subdivision, "Destiny by the Sea". So far, this is the nicest home we've rented! Loved the spacious rooms, the balconies, the bar, and the new renovation. The only drawback we experienced was that the kitchen and the den were separate and not open to each other. You couldn't be in the den and talk to someone in the kitchen because you couldn't see them. In the other homes we've rented you always have a very big and open space in regards to the kitchen and den being open to each other. We felt a separation between the two rooms. Other than that, Playa del Mar is truly a beautiful home, and we had a wonderful time!!

To those of us left behind, we have to honor Dr. Tiller by working to make sure that abortion access is expanded, not curtailed.
How can we use all the data we have to create programs that actually make a dent in abortion stigma?
Rob Portman recently changed his mind about same-sex marriage after his son came out to him. Despite the stigma surrounding abortion, it's time for the Portman women to speak out about any abortion stories they may have.
Abortion law in Thailand is very ambiguous, and as a result, I do most of my work helping women access safe abortion care out of the public eye. At a recent workshop, I responded to public requests for information on safe abortion by first confronting my own fears.
Abortion stigma is a form of gender discrimination and punishment, and it represents social control of both women who need abortions and providers who provide them.
This year marks the 15th Anniversary of V-day and the 40th Anniversary of Roe V. Wade. So I thought it would be appropriate to draw a connection between the silenced stories of the 1 in 3 women worldwide who have experienced physical and sexual violence and the silenced stories of 1 in 3 women in the United States who will have an abortion in their lifetime.
People should be given the chance to make the decision whether to parent without judgment or stigma. Abortion is (or should be) an option. Women should not feel ashamed for doing what is best for them.
A New Generation of Abortion Activists: Reclaiming the Conversation on Abortion One Meeting at a Time
There are reproductive rights and justice advocates who are having abortion conversations that do not involve scare tactics. They are having these conversations on their campuses, in their homes, and in their communities, and they are doing it the right way.
If we can't even talk about abortion, we can't ever hope to change the stigma.
By sharing their stories, young people are creating spaces where we as a society can think about issues in terms of people's realities and not political debates. Stories dispel myths, break down stereotypes, humanize issues, and invoke empathy and urgency, inspiring people who heard them to take action.

Beyonce, Adele and The Hunger Games Inspire Some of the Hottest Baby Names in 2012
Jacob, Edward and Bella are SO last year.
That's right. Buh-bye Twilight! The Hunger Games is taking over when it comes to parents choosing names for their babies.
As Nameberry.com reports, "baby names in 2012 are already proving themselves to be very different from last year's choices, with The Hunger Games taking over from Twilight as the primary cultural influence on names, the hottest boys' names taking a cue from the girls, and musical names trumping Hollywood for inspiration
See five of the hottest names after the jump!
Ivy – Well DUH. This is a no brainer. What with Beyonce and Jay Z naming their daughter Blue Ivy there are bound to be a million copycats. But prepare yourselves, pregnant women, for two or three girls named Blue or Ivy in your daughter's kindergarten class. As Nameberry reports, Ivy has already risen to the top 300 names. While Blue isn't quite as hot yet, Nameberry predicts a rise in color names like Scarlett, Violet and Indigo.
Adele – The French diminutive of Adelaide has reentered the Top 1000 for the first time in nearly half a century. Only one person can take credit for that and she's so world famous she doesn't even need a surname for you to know who I'm talking about.
Rue – You might know her as the smallest and youngest tribute from The Hunger Games. The blockbuster movie, according to Nameberry, "has turned the spotlight on a range of exotic botanical names for girls, from the heroine's name Katniss to gentle Primrose to Posy and Clove. But the simple and sleek "Rue" is the hottest name of all.
Cato – He's the male tribute from District 2 in The Hunger Games and despite the fact that he's a bad guy apparently a lot of parents thing it's a good name.
Weston, Westley and West – As Nameberry reports, "all variety of West names are hot this year, but Weston, the choice of The Office's Jenna Fischer for her son, is the hottest of them all."

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The First Circuit ruled last week that an earlier-filed False Claims Act complaint will preclude a later-filed complaint if it arises out of the same underlying facts, even if the allegations are not identical.
The case concerns claims by two relators asserting claims against Bristol-Myers Squibb, Inc. ("BMS") and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC ("Sanofi"). In May 2006, a BMS Manager, David Richardson, filed suit against BMS and/or Sanofi alleging that they promoted Plavix for off-label uses, promoted Pravachol and Monopril, and "knowingly" caused the submission of false claims to the government in violation of the FCA. In September 2006, Michael A. Wilson also filed suit alleging that BMS and Sanofi promoted Plavix for off-label uses. Wilson's suit, however, alleged that the off-label uses were for different diseases and symptoms than those alleged in Richardson's suit.
The trial court concluded that Richardson's May 2006 complaint precluded Wilson's September 2006 claims because they were "substantially similar" to Richardson's, and thus barred by the FCA' s first-to-file rule. The trial court applied the "essential facts" test to make this determination, finding that Wilson's complaint "did not alert the government to a new type of fraudulent scheme or even new aspects of an existing scheme allegedly being perpetrated by the defendants." The only difference between the two suits, the trial court wrote, was that Wilson's complaint alleged different particular off-label uses for the drugs.
In affirming the district court, the First Circuit emphasized that the purpose of the first-to-file rule is "to provide incentives to relators to 'promptly alert [] the government to the essential facts of a fraudulent scheme.'" The Court also noted that the rule is "part of the larger balancing act of the FCA's qui tam provision, which 'attempts to reconcile two conflicting goals, specifically, preventing opportunistic suits, on the one hand, while encouraging citizens to act as whistleblowers, on the other.'"
Additionally, the Court cited the statutory text as the basis for the rule, noting that earlier-filed complaints need only provide essential facts to give the government sufficient notice to initiate an investigation into allegedly fraudulent practices. The "essential facts" rule is in line with the plain language and legislative intent of the first-to-file rule, whereas an "identical facts" rule would not be.

I hope this is a good place to put this.
I am due in about a month and really need to get some nice nursing tops or dresses that do not cost a lot. I wear around a 3x and it is next to impossible to find nursing tops that are not around $100.
I live near Austin, texas if anyone knows of any local shops that sale nursing clothes, but online or chain stores are great with me too. I just need something I can wear to church and around town when I have my baby in a sling that does not require lifting up my whole top to breastfeed.

Old Navy has some tops and dresses on sale right now. Everything is under $20. I haven't worn them, but I like their maternity clothes.
Married to a wonderful woman since 2010. Baby boy C arrived in June 2013!

I'm a modest dresser and what I do is wear a cami under a regular shirt. I pull the shirt up and the cami down so that I'm covered (especially my belly!) while nursing. You can use an actual nursing cami or even a normal one.
Here are the ones they have at Target:
Midwife (CPM, LDM) and homeschooling mama to:
14yo ds 11yo dd 9yo ds and 7yo ds and 2yo ds
I wear a cami under everything to keep my belly covered up!!! it really makes every top a nursing top. put the cami underneath, for a button up top, unbutton from the bottom, then you remain modest while nursing. if it's a t shirt or other non buttoning shirt, you're still covered if you lift from the bottom :)
congrats on the little one!!

forgot... i get nursing tanks from Target, they are reasonable and comfy
Married to overworked DH since 2003, happily mama to DD (01/09) and DS (4/12)
Thank you for the ideas.
I was at our old navy a few weeks ago and they do not carry maternity or nursing that goes above a size 14, and looking on-line I did not see anything there in a 3x either.
I tried the cami/tank top under a regular shirt with my 3rd son, but still found it next to impossible to get everything tucked back down where it was suppose to go after nursing while still walking around with him in a sling.
Also now that I am in Texas I think I would burn up having that many layers on. This still may end up being my best option, I was just hoping for a better more cooler one.
The few places on-line that I have found only seem to carry long sleeved shirts or sleeveless neither of which I am comfortable wearing. Maybe I am just too picky but I just want something of around t-shirt length sleeves that lets me nurse somewhat discreetly.

time now.(Roughly 1 year in the making.). With Multimedia Fusion 2 at my disposal,
I spend the afternoon and nights creating whatever I can administer. Most
people probably know me only from MFGG and
SFGHQ. However know I've decided to hit Mod DB since I will be releasing a
complete demo soon! It will contain Chapter 1-1, with everything intact. I'm
new to Mod DB, so things are pretty empty right now. I'll write some more
For those new to Mario Roots, let me highlight some of the main points about it.
Mario roots uses a combination of graphics from various games. However, all mainly come from Paper Mario. The game is geared to be a hybrid RPG. I say hybrid because it's a platformer with RPG mechanics. This gives you the feel of an RP game, yet the fast pace action of a platformer.
This group has been formed to gather the people who enjoy Japanese anime and all of its facets, to salute the people from the land of the Rising Sun.
Each month we bring to you new and old (updated) game and mod playthroughs, trailers and weekly recaps covering the mod and indie gaming scene, so sit...
haha no prob. I'm pretty die-hard Nintendo, and I loved Super Mario RPG as well as Superstar Saga nd the Paper Marios so this one seems like it'll be just as much fun.
_Flame on steam if you play anything else.
You are welcome,since your name is kirbyhi i assume you like kirby(I love kirby its awesome) so maybe you could include his character in the game,like in a level you pass by kirby or you make a dialog with kirby....
just a suggestion :)

The main objectives of the open label dosing and dosimetry study are to confirm the maximum tolerated dose of Cotara, to determine radiation dosimetry and to assess overall patient survival, progression-free survival and the proportion of patients alive at six months following Cotara administration. In both ongoing clinical trials, Cotara is delivered using convection-enhanced delivery (CED), a method developed by the U.S. National Institutes of Health that targets the specific tumor site in the brain.
"We believe the data generated from this dosimetry trial will be an important and necessary part of our Cotara regulatory package as we continue to advance the program," said Joseph Shan, vice president of clinical and regulatory affairs at Peregrine. "The trial design the regulatory authorities asked us to implement was necessarily complex and therefore challenging to enroll, requiring a significant commitment from both patients and the participating health care institutions. We are grateful for their successful efforts and our plan is now to expand the ongoing 40-patient Phase II Cotara GBM trial to these clinical sites, which should help expedite timely completion of the ongoing Phase II clinical trial."
Interim data from the dosimetry trial presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine 2009 Annual Meeting in June showed that in patients dosed in the first two cohorts of the study, the concentration of Cotara in brain tumors was on average more than 300-fold higher than in other normal organs. In addition, these patients had all either met or exceeded the expected median survival time for recurrent GBM patients. Interim data from a Phase II study of GBM patients who have experienced a first relapse was presented at the XIV World Congress of Neurological Surgery in September. It highlighted a subset of 10 GBM patients and included follow-up durations ranging from seven weeks to over 73 weeks, showing an interim median recurrence-free

A group of friends are disappointed at not being able to spot the striped beast at the RANTHAMBORE NATIONAL PARK and think something needs to be done about it.
My recent travel to the Ranthambore National Park was exciting in more ways than one. The watch at the time of our entry into the precincts of the park read 4:30 a.m. This is how enthusiastic we were to witness the jungle beast in action for the first time in our hitherto wild life in Delhi.
Four of us in all went there in a Gypsy — this vehicle type somehow induced a sense of macho-ism within my pals. The best part about a jungle safari is the thought of the tiger having traversed the same path that you are gracing today. To the amusement of my friends, I would shriek at anything and everything non-human and then as if routinely, get on with clicking those very beings as well as the captivating environs.
Let me take you through my debut Indian expedition minus the 'hunting effect'. Having been told by our fretful driver that a 'kill' awaited us at that spot, we were left to think deep as to what he meant by the now popular word 'kill'. Twenty minutes of pondering and discussions we concluded that it was a shikar and he had been meaning to speak the British language. To our delight which later would get transformed into dismay, we found a dead Sambar.
After the two-hour wait that ended in exasperation, we decided to move on from our spot-the-tiger obsession. After all, there were cows to be pursued, owls to be spotted and monkeys to be scoffed at. We felt grossly cheated by the King of the jungle as the driver had falsely quipped several times during our journey. In the interim period, I did not fail to put on display my self-professed claim of being a nature photographer. To the chagrin of my accompanying pals, I emulated my ideal self concept and demonstrated my photo-related histrionics.
We also spotted a cute-looking wild boar that very nearly resembled our very own domestic pig with the only point of differentiation being its finickiness for cleanliness. A very-in hair cut adorned its entire body and the almost non-existent tail. Next, we saw what was arguably one of the oldest Sambar to stand on its feet. It was a loner as the stink forced even our vehicle to be at a safe distance from it, leave alone its familial ties.
My only request to the government and the jungle authorities would be to start formulating and implementing more rigorous tiger preservation policies and I am sure youngsters like us would be the first ones to get into the buzz-generating bandwagon of 'Save the tiger' campaign. The only alternative is to become an avid viewer of the National Geographic Channel or the Animal Planet where both the 'kill' and the beast rule the screen.

Heading into Sunday's highly anticipated road game with the New England Patriots, the Indianapolis Colts announced some major roster moves Monday afternoon. The Colts activated rookie nose tackle Josh Chapman off the team's reserve/non-football injury list and added him to the team's 53-player regular-season roster. Chapman is a 6-foot, 316-pound defensive lineman who was a fifth-round pick by Indianapolis in April. A former All-Southeastern Conference and All-America performer at the University of Alabama, Chapman had been sidelined since undergoing knee surgery in January. He had been hurt in a game with the University of Florida last fall but opted to put off surgery until after the season was over. The Hoover, Ala., native was unable to practice with the Colts last spring, in training camp or when the regular season began. Chapman had shown enough improvement through his rehabilitation process, however, to be cleared three weeks ago to begin limited on-the-field work. Ha...

Belkin is set to release a remote camera shutter controller for the iPhone according to information found in an FCC filing. The small accessory will work over a Bluetooth connection to your iPhone and it can activate the camera shutter or trigger video recording remotely.

While at the most recent Show Stoppers event, I had the opportunity to check out the LifeProof case for iPhone 4S (and iPhone 4). Protection is always key for any of our beloved electronics, and whether you are a mountain biker, a swim lover, or a karate king trying to keep your iPhone protected while doing your favorite event is a struggle -- until you meet LifeProof. The folks at LifeProof have spent a lot of time (over two years) designing this case, and a whole lot of money (over two million dollars) into making sure that their product was the best to hit the market.
The iPad makes an awesome recipe book for use in the kitchen but where you put it whilst you're cooking is always a problem. Belkin thinks its solved the problem with the introduction of three new iPad kitchen accessories.
The first accessory is the Chef Stand and Stylus; this is a washable stand with various viewing angles. It also comes with a wand or stylus which has an easy grip handle and a magnetic tip. It has been designed for you to carry on using your iPad even though your hands could be covered in food.
The WINGStand is a clever two piece plastic stand designed to work with the official Apple Bluetooth keyboard. It clips onto the Apple keyboard and then an iPad can be used in portrait or landscape mode; you can even use the iPad while it is in its case. The stand works with the original iPad, iPad 2, iPhone or even other tablets. If you don't want to use a keyboard, the WINGStand also works fine as a stand for your device.
The WINGStand has been developed by student Daniel Haarburger who is currently studying at Stanford University. It has already reached its target funding figure of $9,500 with more than 38 days remaining; looks like this one is going to be a very popular accessory.
You can still make a pledge and guarantee yourself one of the first ones off the production line. $20 will get you one in white, $30 if you want an exclusive black one and you can even get a package including the Apple keyboard; that will set you back over $100.
I really like the look of this and hopefully it will be available very soon. Take a look at the video after the break!
The iKeyboard is an interesting Kickstarter Project that aims to address an often complained about problem with any iPad. The on-screen keyboard is great for simple text input however if you have something longer to type up, it can become very awkward and uncomfortable to use. This is where iKeyboard comes in and hopes to address these issues and offer the ability to touch type on the iPad. .
The iKeyboard sits on top of the iPad's virtual keyboard without adding much to the weight or physical size. It claims to allow you to touch type, but more importantly, not have to suspend your hands above the screen; which is anything but comfortable and often painful after prolonged text input. The iKeyboard requires the same force and travel distance to register a key press as the current Apple keyboard.
The accessory is in a working prototype stage at the moment and its claimed that it works pretty well and the highest hurdles have been jumped. As this is a Kickstarter project, the aim is to get funding to take the prototype to the next level and start production. To do this, the iKeyboard needs investment pledges which were originally set at $4000. As of today, it has received over $5000 with some 46 days left to go. It seems to be proving very popular!
Have a look at the video after the break the let us know what you think of the iKeyboard? Can you see yourself using an accessory like this? Let us know in the comments!
Having problems with your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad accessories and wondering how to troubleshoot them? Here are a few basic tips which will help you identify the issue. Stick with us after the break.
blueSLR is a bluetooth accessory for Nikon DSLR's that pairs with your iPhone to embed GPS information into your files as well as allow you to use your iPhone as a remote shutter release. The folks at XEquals sent me a unit to test out and share with you. To find out what I think, follow along after the break!
The Griffin TuneJuice 2 Back-up Battery for iPhone is a battery charger for iPhone or iPad touch (or traditional iPds) that, instead of being rechargeable, uses AAA batteries. That means to use of the TuneJuice you do not have to constantly find an outlet and make sure you recharge it before your iPhone. You can just throw in fresh batteries and get going. So if you are traveling for a long period of time and worry that you may need to keep a few items charged then this is the charger for you.
To find out more follow us after the break!
The WowWee Cinemin Slice is an iPad and iPhone dock that doubles as a pico projector. With it, you can project movies, videos, photos, games, and slides onto walls and ceilings. It's also equipped with a 6 watt stereo speaker system.
WowWee Cinemin Slice puts your favorite content on the big screen, wherever that may be. In a dimly lit room, Slice can project a crisp 60-inch image from over 10 feet away, or from floor-to-ceiling in a typical room. Enhanced by Texas Instruments' superior DLP projection technology, you get an ultra-clear, high contrast picture with vivid color.

The iPhonECG by Lifetone Technology is a case that turns your iPhone 4 into a fully functional ECG (Electrocardiography) device that can be used to monitor your heart. It works via interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart over time captured and externally recorded by skin electrodes.
The case is a simple enough snap on type plastic case with two electrodes on the rear. The patient can hold the case in their hands, touching the electrodes, or hold it against their chest to capture the performance of the heart.
The information is displayed on the screen of the iPhone 4 with a dedicated app, again developed by Lifetone. It also has another app that works with the case. The second app is a personal heart rate monitor, to aid with relaxation; it is aimed more at the consumer than the professional market.
Both apps and the case will be announced at CES (Consumer Electronics Show), which begins in Las Vegas next week.

Bi-polar? What a load of bunkum! More like a dozy bimbo who cannot engage her brain before speaking / acting.
The 'Im a Celeb' stint was the nail in the coffin of her relationship. The amount of stick on and off the pitch her bf must have got for her performance in there!

Test Registration & Test Reviews
Search Test Reviews
Search Registered Tests
The BPS test review and registration process is designed to help test users identify an appropriate test suitable for their needs. Over 150 tests have been reviewed by our Test Reviews editorial team, who are all BPS Charted Psychologists and experts in the field of testing and test use.
Full reviews of tests are available for free to current members of the Register of Qualifications in Test Use (RQTU) and to members of the BPS. Summary test reviews are available free of charge to non-members.
The Test Review Process
Building on the success of test review and registration, and to develop a more streamlined and developmental focus, the BPS launched an updated test review process in July 2013, outlined below.
Any new test submitted into the process is first audited to determine whether it meets criteria for the award of a Certificate of Test Registration. The test subsequently progresses on to evaluative review by an editorial panel.
The document below called An Overview of the British Psychological Society's Test Review Process outlines the process and provides a useful introduction to members of the public. It is also a reference guide for those submitting a test into the process for the first time, and a useful refresher for those with experience of the former process.
What is Test Registration?
Test Registration provides the public with a means of distinguishing genuine psychometric tests from other less rigorous instruments, and other forms of assessment that do not meet the minimum criteria necessary for classification as a psychomteric instrument. The European Federation of Psychologists Association's (EFPA) Review Model for the Description and Evaluation of Tests is the criteria used for this purpose. This can be downloaded below.
(Please refer to the EFPA test review form)
A test is eligible for a Certificate of Test Registration if it is judged to be at least 'adequate' as defined by the EFPA review model, in terms of validity, reliability and norms (or other information necessary for the meaningful interpretation of scores). If you are unfamiliar with the terminology above, please refer to
Getting to grips with our terminology.
Search a list of registered tests
What are Test Reviews?
Following audit of a test to determine whether it meets eligibility for a Certificate of Test Registration, a test then progresses on to evaluative review by an editoiral panel.The review is based on material specified as 'whatever the publisher/distributor provides to the purchaser of the instrument', and the EFPA Model for the Description and Evaluation of Tests is used to evaluate the test.
This process is designed to provide an informed and balanced evaluation, which evaluates norms, reliability and validity, as well as a description and evaluation of computer-based test reports.
To date over 150 tests have been reviewed by the Society. Short summary reviews can be viewed by members of the public. Full test reviews can be freely downloaded by members of the Register of Qualifications in Test Use, or by members of the public on a fee per download basis.
An advanced search facility is provided for those wishing to filter reviews according to the application or type of test in which they have an interest.
Search test reviews
How do I submit a test into the test review process?
For information on how to submit a test for review and registration, please see An Overview of the BPS Test Review Process. This provides an introductory overview of the Society's test review process, including Frequently asked questions.
If you are a test publisher/distributor wishing to submit a new test into the test review process, please see the Application Pack, which includes all the relevant pro formas needed to submit test materials into the process.
The document below outlines the criteria used to audit a test to determine whether it meets criteria for test registration. The criteria are also used to provide a descriptive and evaluative review of test materials. This is known as the EFPA Review Model for the Description and Evaluation of Tests.
