Woodcock-Johnson® III Tests of Achievement
Author Biography
Dr. Richard Woodcock
The WJ III reflects the knowledge, skill, and ingenuity of its senior author, Dr. Richard Woodcock. The Woodcock-Johnson batteries have a distinguished history, with the first edition published in 1977. Dr. Woodcock began work on this battery of tests in 1963 in a series of controlled experiments for measuring learning ability. The first test was Visual-Auditory Learning, which remains in the WJ III as an important test for measuring new learning through associative memory. When he developed the Visual-Auditory Learning test, Dr. Woodcock was interested in developing a test to measure an individual's ability to learn to read. Next, the Analysis-Synthesis test was developed to measure the ability to learn mathematics.
The scientific-empirical test development principles modeled by Dr. Woodcock are now the standard in test development. In 1993, Dr. Woodcock received the Senior Scientist Award from the American Psychological Association, Division of School Psychology, in recognition of his career contributions to the field of school psychology. Widely known for innovation and technical excellence, Dr. Woodcock's work includes features such as co-normed batteries; theory-based test construction; expansive coverage of content; application of a test across the life span; age and grade norms; parallel forms in languages other than English; and cross-language equating.
Dr. Woodcock has a wide background in education and psychology. He has served as an elementary teacher, school psychologist, director of special education, and university professor. At Western Oregon University from 1957 to 1961, Dr. Woodcock was an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Director of the Reading Clinic. He was an Associate Professor of Special Education at the University of Northern Colorado from 1961 to 1963. From 1963 to 1968, Dr. Woodcock was a Research Professor of Special Education, Senior Scientist, and Acting Director of the Institute on Mental Retardation and Intellectual Development at George Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. He was Editor and Director of Research for American Guidance Service from 1968 to 1972. He has served as a Visiting Scholar in Special Education and Rehabilitation at the University of Arizona, a Visiting Scholar of Psychology at the University of Southern California, and a Research Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. Currently, he is Director of Measurement/Learning/Consultants, a test development and research organization he founded in 1972.
Dr. Woodcock holds an Ed.D. in Psycho-Education and Statistics from the University of Oregon. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Neuropsychology at Tufts University School of Medicine.

"We're in a highly regulated industry. This isn't like selling sweaters," said Jeremy Benson, Executive Director of "Free the Grapes" a trade group that lobbied to deregulate domestic wine shipments across state lines.
In its 2005 ruling, the Supreme Court cast aside restrictions in New York and Michigan that permitted wineries to ship directly to in-state consumers but prevented out-of-state businesses from doing the same.
The court went on to say either all wineries should be allowed to ship directly to consumers or none. The ruling was a boon to smaller wineries that don't have the volume for wide distributions to grocery and liquor stores but instead rely on direct to consumer sales.
Since the Supreme Court decision, Michigan, Ohio and New York have relaxed shipping restrictions.

I have to say well.... everyone.
Why? Well because out of all of the sites I've visited. It's rare to find a site that can be an informative and funny as well as giving newcomers a warm reception around here such as Nintendo Life. There are people from all regions of the world as well as walks of life that have a good time here forgetting all of their mishaps and being judged from the games they play and systems. Besides the occasional bout here and there I would like to thank you guys for being just plain awesome.
At this point I could care less about some silly nomination about a favorite Nlife user from someon------

This month, Haggen is celebrating its birthday and 80 great years of serving communities throughout the Pacific Northwest. To mark this momentous anniversary, the company is thanking its customers with two weeks of promotions, including 80-cent deals on signature items, grocery giveaways, tasty food samples and, of course, birthday cake.
"Haggen has been fresh and local since 1933, when Ben and Dorothy Haggen opened their first store on Bay Street in Bellingham," says Clement Stevens, senior vice president of merchandising at Haggen. "Many things have changed over the past 80 years, but what hasn't changed is our commitment to bringing our customers fresh, high-quality products and supporting the communities we serve. We invite everyone to stop by and enjoy great 80-cent values throughout the store, birthday cake and fun!"
Throughout the birthday festivities from October 2 to October 15, the company is promoting a food drive to benefit local food banks. Customers can support the drive several ways. They can purchase $5 pre-packed bags of food to donate, make a cash donation at the register or donate food themselves.
Haggen has not only rolled back prices marking key items to 80-cents, it also has designed retro-themed flyers, decorated its stores with birthday-party decor, and outfitted its store employees in 1930's-era attire.
Store promotions include:
- Grocery Cart Giveaway: One lucky guest at each store will win a grocery cart full of Haggen brand items. At Washington stores, guests are automatically entered when they use their Haggen card or TOP Connection Card. Shoppers can also enter to win by submitting a paper entry form that can be obtained at the store. The winner from each store will be announced the week of October 21, 2013.
- Tasty Food Samples: On Saturday, October 5 and Saturday, October 12, shoppers can enjoy tasty food samples including Haggen Honey Crisp Apple Juice, fresh German style Handmade Bratwurst, Haggen's Best of the Best Bulk Coffee and freshly baked Haggen Cinnamon Rolls.
- Birthday Cake: On Saturday, October 5 and Saturday, October 12, Haggen birthday cake will be served.
"We want to thank the generations of loyal customers for these eight decades in business," adds Stevens. "We are grateful for their ongoing patronage and support of local
farmers and food producers." Haggen has also produced celebratory videos with two performers from Bellingham's Upfront Theatre. Happy 80th Birthday Haggen!

Swizz Beatz is finally putting the drama with his ex-wife Mashonda to rest before he walks down the aisle again.
According to the New York Daily News, the producer gave Mashonda $334,000 in child support. She sued him for that amount last month, but the total included unpaid alimony. There's no word on whether the cash he handed her also satisfies that debt or whether it all went to child support.
In the meantime, Swizz is focusing on his new bride-to-be Alicia Keys and their forthcoming nuptials.
"I'm super-excited," Swizz told the Daily News from St. Tropez. "People are calling me from Dubai and Japan. We haven't set a wedding date, but we will. We're just letting everything flow."

World Week for Animals in Laboratories (April 20-28) spotlights the millions of animals who suffer and die each year in research and testing. This is an important time to address the myth that animal experiments are a "necessary evil," essential for medical progress. A new era in biomedical science has emerged without the use of animals, using human cell cultures, genomics and digital imaging, to name a few of the many available methods.
Increasingly, scientists are acknowledging that animal research is not producing the results attributed to it, or deserving of billions of taxpayer dollars. Nor does it justify the incredible suffering involved.

That's right, folks. Nearly three years after receiving Royal Assent and going through a seemingly endless set of delays, comment periods, and guidance changes it appears that Canada's Anti Spam Legislation (CASL) is finally coming into force. Canada's Minister of Industry James Moore announced today that CASL will come into force on July 1 2014. Eloqua's Dennis Dayman posted about the announcement here.
We wrote about CASL at length here but as a quick reference, these are a few of the main points of the law:
What's next?
Businesses will need to scrub their lists and remove any covered address for which there is no affirmative opt-in to receive email and other CEM. It is expected that many email lists will be significantly reduced in size as a result. Privacy Policies and form collection on websites should be updated to ensure proper consent. In the case of forms, this includes moving from an opt-out (pre-checked) to an opt-in (not pre-checked) methodology.
Eloqua recommends that businesses meet with their legal, compliance, and marketing teams to determine the full scope of changes to their business practices in order to comply with the new law as there are a number of key considerations and requirements not provided in this article which may apply. We also encourage affected parties to read the full text of the law, which can be found at

Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
Friday, August 14, 1998
12:00 NoonPacific Forum
About half of the institutions in the Consortium for Oceanographic Research and
Education were represented at its Ocean Science Educator's Retreat in Miami in July 1998.
At the meeting, we received a preliminary analysis of a biennial survey of alumni of
oceanographic graduate programs. The 1996-1997 survey focused on the educational
experience during the graduate degree program and their postgraduate careers, broken out
by gender, discipline, and time-since-degree. Clarice Yentsch (Bigelow Lab and
EDC, Inc.)
and Eric Hartwig (Naval Research Lab) presented definitions and examples (good and bad) of
their experiences as students and as mentors. The retreat attendees discussed how to
foster mentor-student relationships, resources to support mentorship, unique aspects of
ocean sciences that impact graduate programs, and alternative careers for oceanography
graduate students.

Audubon will be hosting a guided tour of points of interest in Marquette Co. on Saturday, April 28 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Follow Joel Burbach of the John Muir Legacy Group and expert birder Daryl Christensen on a guided tour of the Marquette County spots where John Muir spent his boyhood and youth. John Muir, considered the father of our national park system, first began to appreciate nature as he explored the areas we will visit during this field trip. See the same flora and fauna that Muir saw and hear about Muir during a 90- minute walk over mostly level ground around Enis Lake (Fountain Lake in Muir's time).
After a stop at Earth Angel Production Gallery, drive to the Wee White Kirk where Muir attended church. Finally, take an optional 20-minute climb to the top of Observatory Hill where Muir had panoramic views of the landscape. Meet at the southwest end of Mennard's parking lot at 8:00 am to form a carpool/caravan. Dress for the weather and bring binoculars, snacks, and/or lunch. Limit: 20 participants; Contact Kathleen Stetter to reserve a place (872-2250 or firstname.lastname@example.com). Updates of FDL Audubon programs are available at fdlaudubon.org

The Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) has had Richard Lee Burnett, M.D. appointed to it board of directors where he will serve through January 2012. Burnett replaces Helms Farms Parner, Nancy Banks who served in the position since January 2004.
Burnett graduated from the University of Arkansas School of Medical Sciences. After graduation he spent a few years out of state but soon returned back to Arkansas and his wife's hometown, Mountain Home, where he opened his office for family practice. His business has expanded to a multi-specialty clinic employing close to 100 employees including eight physicians and four advance nurse practitioners.
Burnett has also actively developed and annexed over 200 acres of property in the town of Mountain Home. He has a strong working knowledge of the financing opportunities and risks associated with such projects.

Burnett's business and agriculture background will play an important role in helping ADFA respond to the changing needs of Arkansas' growing and increasingly diverse population and business community.
ADFA was created in 1977 with a charge to issue tax-exempt bonds to support affordable home ownership for the citizens of Arkansas. Since that time, the agency assumed responsibility for many additional housing programs and added economic development, agriculture, export finance, infrastructure finance, venture capital and many other programs to its mission of providing development capital for the state.

JIM MOORE | Not dealing Felix a risk worth taking
Anyone want to trade Felix Hernandez now?
I wouldn't think so, not after the Mariners' ace blanked the hottest-hitting team, holding the Texas Rangers to three hits in a 7-0 victory Saturday night at Safeco Field. He struck out 12 batters, all swinging, including Josh Hamilton in all three of his plate appearances.
Then again, I didn't think anyone would want to trade Felix after he threw a complete-game 1-0 victory against the Red Sox on June 28. In that one, he limited the potent Red Sox to five hits while tying a career-high with 13 strikeouts.
But when I asked the host of "The Kevin Calabro Show" on 710 ESPN Seattle if he still wanted to trade Felix after that game, he said it was an even better time to deal the Mariners' best player.
Calabro felt that his value would never be higher, and why risk losing Hernandez to free agency when his contract runs out in 2014? Deal him now and get all kinds of pieces who can help the team when it's really ready to contend two or three years from now.
And deal him now to get some guys who can actually hit and hit for power and maybe even average .300.
I get it. Like every other Mariner fan, I'd like to see a lineup with more pop, even a little more pop, anything better than the punchless crew we're seeing now.
Plus I'd hate to be doing my Christmas shopping in December of 2014 and hear the news that Felix had signed a $300 million free-agent deal with the Yankees.
Why risk the chance of that happening? Why not look into deals involving Felix now?
I'm guessing that GM Jack Zduriencik is open to offers. If he gets the moon, he'll trade Felix. Anything short of that, he won't. If they get the moon, I'm in. If not, I'm not.
I'm wavering a little bit only because I'm concerned about Felix's arm. He's an old 26 if that's possible, in his seventh big-league season, having thrown 1,521 innings and who knows how many thousands of pitches. I don't want to see him go the way of Michael Pineda.
But still…
How can you trade an ace like Felix? In the first place, it's hard to find a No. 1 starter. Then when you find one, you have to keep him. He's a sure thing, a losing-streak stopper. He's also the key to winning playoff series once you get there.
So I would cling to Felix with every fingernail I have.
I'd continue to put up with the curious May swoons that he has every year. This year in a game at Cleveland, I watched from the Manchester Pub as Felix went only 3 2/3 innings, giving up 10 hits and six earned runs. At that point, there were serious questions about his loss of velocity.
But in his last six games, he is 3-0 with a 1.40 ERA, averaging 9.3 strikeouts a start. He gave up one earned run in three of those games, zero in two and four in one bad inning against Baltimore.
Can you imagine this team, this rotation without him? I'd like to see Felix play his entire career here and go into the Hall of Fame as a lifetime Seattle Mariner.
I want to see him raise his children here, featuring future Father's Day celebrations like the one this year when his wife and kids hired a plane to fly a banner over Safeco Field that read: "King34: You are the best dad ever. We (heart) you."
Naturally Felix went on to pitch the Mariners to a 2-1 win over the Giants.
I want to keep watching the Felix fanatics in King's Court, wearing their yellow T-shirts while flashing their K cards and chanting K-K-K-K-K!!!!! every time an opposing batter has two strikes.
If you must, keep trotting out the Felix Hernandez bobblehead nights too.
I'm not telling you anything you don't already know — Felix is a franchise player. Even when you're the worst team in the American League, you don't trade your franchise player.

Two men, driver Howard Crouch and a second man Charles Baker were arrested at the scene. Baker was cited for public intoxication.
According to Wood County Deputy George, the driver Howard Crouch was found walking in the area and arrested for leaving the scene and trespassing on railroad property.
A train collided with a pick-up truck at just before 12:30 a.m. Friday morning.
The Waverly Fire Department and Wood County Sheriff's Department rushed to the scene at the intersection of 4th Street in Waverly off of Route 2.
When officials arrived they found the truck smashed and pushed off the track and no driver inside.
Police say there are no injuries from the wreck, but an arrest has been made.
Wood County Dispatch could not confirm who was arrested, but say it is "likely" to be the male drive of that pick up truck.
Authorities are not sure how fast the train was traveling at the time of the crash but can confirm there were no hazardous materials on board.

Looking Forward: Textiles 2012
James M. Borneman, Editor In Chief
Economics — coined "the dismal science" by Thomas Carlyle in the 19th century — has been a rather
dismal topic in recent years. So when Economics Editor Robert Reichard turned in his
Textile World
Economic Outlook article titled "Textiles 2012: The Prognosis Is Good," the first response
was "Really?" Could it be true that the industry will continue to pull through?
Reichard has been writing about the economics of the textile industry for years. So to read his analysis, one knows this is an author who has observed the industry through a sometimes painful lens and has never shied away from the occasionally unpleasant truth the industry data present.
Although Reichard's analysis doesn't call for anything robust, each data set seems to pivot from the downward trends of the recession — many bottoming in 2009 — to a flattened and often upward movement.
Anecdotally, there have been encouraging signals in the marketplace. Feedback from ITMA has shown renewed interest in investment and upgrading of plant and equipment. Suppliers to the industry seem a little more upbeat and are increasing marketing and promotional activities. There has been strong feedback and participation in exhibitions like Texworld, Kingpins and Outdoor Retailer.
The industry continues to innovate. This issue highlights the commercialization of spider silk technology and takes a look at ballistic apparel — not your father's bulletproof vest, but fashionable apparel that can take a bullet.
Challenges in 2012 will certainly take their toll. It appears that there is less talk based on fear, fewer backward-looking comparisons, and a stronger sense of adjustment to a new normal. Big issues like cotton price volatility and increased fiber prices have thrown their best curves at the industry, and many companies are still standing.
It is probably not quantifiable, but U.S. consumers seem genuinely interested in where things are made — and U.S. manufacturing's image seems to have shifted from rusty to job-creating. And the economics of offshoring has changed.
In this election year, political and policy uncertainties will pose questions. Cheap capital - for those who can get access to it — creates an opportunity to invest and adjust product lines and capabilities. Recent headlines have pointed to increases in productivity that also improves American manufacturing competitiveness.
Optimism is often dangerous, but with the changes and challenges of recent years, it takes much less to feel good about the future of the U.S. textile industry. Optimism for 2012 — it just might be worth the risk.

Pirates notebook: Alvarez gets lessons at 1st base; Frieri cut
Pirates/MLB Videos
In his pro career, spanning 808 games in the minor and major leagues, Pedro Alvarez never has played anywhere other than third base.
That might soon change.
During batting practice Friday, Alvarez took a significant number of ground balls at first base. He also got lessons on footwork and positioning with coach Nick Leyva and first baseman Gaby Sanchez.
"We're just trying to get some work to see if it does potentially become an option (this season)," said general manager Neal Huntington, who watched Alvarez's tutoring session. "We're trying to give (manager) Clint (Hurdle) as many options as we can to win a ballgame and keep our lineup as strong as possible and stay flexible and versatile."
Alvarez did not comment on his first workout at first base. As he was approached by a reporter after batting practice, Alvarez broke into a run and left the field.
Friday was Alvarez's first day back with the team after missing three games while on bereavement leave.
Alvarez leads the majors with 24 errors, all but one of them coming on bad throws. Over his first four seasons, he made 85 errors in 470 games.
During the series last weekend in Arizona, Hurdle said Josh Harrison had supplanted Alvarez as the everyday third baseman. Harrison started at third Friday against the San Diego Padres.
In the midst of a pennant race, the Pirates might not be confident playing Alvarez at an unfamiliar position. Could Alvarez become a full-time first baseman next year?
"In a perfect world," Huntington said, then paused.
"Pedro's never played better from bat to glove than he has this year. So we're still optimistic and open to him remaining a third baseman. But as we look at the short term — Josh (Harrison) has played so well, and we've had some other challenges — we're trying to find a way to keep this lineup as deep and as productive as possible."
Frieri designated
To open a roster spot for Alvarez, reliever Ernesto Frieri was designated for assignment.
The Pirates got Frieri on June 27 from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for ex-closer Jason Grilli. In 14 outings with the Pirates, Frieri went 1-1 with a 10.13 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP.
Last Friday, Frieri hit Paul Goldschmidt of the Arizona Diamondbacks with a pitch and broke his hand. Goldschmidt is out for the season. The next day, Andrew McCutchen was hit by a pitch in the back. McCutchen is out of action indefinitely with a rib injury.
McCutchen on mend
Athletic trainers have added more mobility and resistance exercises to McCutchen's routine, and he appears to be making progress.
According to Hurdle, McCutchen already has taken "a couple" of swings, although he is not ready for full-blown batting practice.
A trip to the disabled list has not been ruled out, but the team will continue to be patient with that decision.
"We're willing to stretch a few more days on his behalf," Hurdle said.
Neil Walker (sore lower back) took batting practice on the field, a step forward as he also tries to avoid a DL stint. Walker has missed four of the past five games.
Planet of the aches
Gerrit Cole (sore right lat) will make his third rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Indianapolis.
Hurdle did not reveal a target pitch count for Cole.
"The last time it went to 70 pitches in less than five (innings)," Hurdle said. "We'd like to see him have more (innings) and more pitches."
Clint Barmes (strained left groin) ran the bases at full speed. He is slated to have another MRI exam and will not go with the Pirates on their road trip next week, which is when he might begin a rehab assignment.
"There's still some soreness in there," Barmes said. "More than likely, it's not going to go away the rest of the year."
Polanco on upswing
In the two months since he made his Pirates debut, right fielder Gregory Polanco already has reached a lot of milestones. First game, first hit, first home run, first stolen base, first batting slump — and now his first rebound.
Over his first 16 games in the majors, Polanco batted .338 with a .416 on-base percentage and .441 slugging percentage. He drove in 10 runs and swiped four bases.
Then pitchers found holes in the rookie's swing. In 19 games from June 27 to July 20, Polanco hit .162/.253/.216. His stolen base (two) and RBI (four) production was cut in half.
In the 15 games leading to the series opener against the Padres, Polanco hit .288/.323/.781 with 11 RBIs and three steals.
"He's trending up," Hurdle said. "He's had a lot thrown at him, and the league has challenged him a lot of different ways. I think it's making more sense to him now."

Ghana defender Sumaila already dreaming of South African title with Sundowns
Ghana defender Rashid Sumaila has started harbouring thoughts of wining the South African league with Mamelodi Sundowns.
The 20-year-old has hit the ground running since joining the Brazilians at the beginning of the season.
Sundowns are currently two points clear at the top of the Premier Soccer League haven lost just once in as many games this season.
And Sumaila who has been a key member of Pitso Mosimane's side believes his team is on track to reclaiming the South African top flight.
"It has not been easy but I had to keep on fighting to remain in the side," he told Metro FM.
"Thankfully I am playing regularly which is good.
"I hope this continues so I can help my team win the league by the end of the season."
Sumaila is in line to make his second Ghana start in the second-leg of the World Cup playoff against Egypt on November 19.

The Abstract of the manuscript should not exceed 350 words and must be structured into separate sections: Background, the context and purpose of the study; Methods, how the study was performed and statistical tests used; Results, the main findings; Conclusions, brief summary and potential implications. Please minimize the use of abbreviations and do not cite references in the abstract. Trial registration, if your research article reports the results of a controlled health care intervention, please list your trial registry, along with the unique identifying number (e.g. Trial registration: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN73824458). Please note that there should be no space between the letters and numbers of your trial registration number. We recommend manuscripts that report randomized controlled trials follow the CONSORT extension for abstracts.
Three to ten keywords representing the main content of the article.
The Background section should be written in a way that is accessible to researchers without specialist knowledge in that area and must clearly state - and, if helpful, illustrate - the background to the research and its aims. Reports of clinical research should, where appropriate, include a summary of a search of the literature to indicate why this study was necessary and what it aimed to contribute to the field. The section should end with a brief statement of what is being reported in the article.
The methods section should include the design of the study, the setting, the type of participants or materials involved, a clear description of all interventions and comparisons, and the type of analysis used, including a power calculation if appropriate. Generic drug names should generally be used. When proprietary brands are used in research, include the brand names in parentheses in the Methods section.

This should state clearly the main conclusions of the research and give a clear explanation of their importance and relevance. Summary illustrations may be included.
List of abbreviations
If abbreviations are used in the text they should be defined in the text at first use, and a list of abbreviations can be provided, which should precede the competing interests and authors' contributions.
Competing interests
A competing interest exists when your interpretation of data or presentation of information may be influenced by your personal or financial relationship with other people or organizations. Authors must disclose any financial competing interests; they should also reveal any non-financial competing interests that may cause them embarrassment were they to become public after the publication of the manuscript.
Authors are required to complete a declaration of competing interests. All competing interests that are declared will be listed at the end of published articles. Where an author gives no competing interests, the listing will read 'The author(s) declare that they have no competing interests'.
When completing your declaration, please consider the following questions:
Financial competing interests
- In the past three years have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that may in any way gain or lose financially from the publication of this manuscript, either now or in the future? Is such an organization financing this manuscript (including the article-processing charge)? If so, please specify.
- Do you hold any stocks or shares in an organization that may in any way gain or lose financially from the publication of this manuscript, either now or in the future? If so, please specify.
- Do you hold or are you currently applying for any patents relating to the content of the manuscript? Have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that holds or has applied for patents relating to the content of the manuscript? If so, please specify.
- Do you have any other financial competing interests? If so, please specify.
Non-financial competing interests
Are there any non-financial competing interests (political, personal, religious, ideological, academic, intellectual, commercial or any other) to declare in relation to this manuscript? If so, please specify.
If you are unsure as to whether you, or one your co-authors, has a competing interest please discuss it with the editorial office.
Authors' contributions
In order to give appropriate credit to each author of a paper, the individual contributions of authors to the manuscript should be specified in this section.
According to ICMJE guidelines, An 'author' is generally considered to be someone who has made substantive intellectual contributions to a published study. To qualify as an author one should 1) have made substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) have been involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content; 3) have given final approval of the version to be published; and 4) agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group, alone, does not justify authorship.
We suggest the following kind of format (please use initials to refer to each author's contribution): AB carried out the molecular genetic studies, participated in the sequence alignment and drafted the manuscript. JY carried out the immunoassays. MT participated in the sequence alignment. ES participated in the design of the study and performed the statistical analysis. FG conceived of the study, and participated in its design and coordination and helped to draft the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an acknowledgements section.

Preparing illustrations and figures
Illustrations should be provided as separate files, not embedded in the text file. Each figure should include a single illustration and should fit on a single page in portrait format. If a figure consists of separate parts, it is important that a single composite illustration file be submitted which contains all parts of the figure. There is no charge for the use of color figures.
Please read our figure preparation guidelines for detailed instructions on maximising the quality of your figures.
The following file formats can be accepted:
- PDF (preferred format for diagrams)
- DOCX/DOC (single page only)
- PPTX/PPT (single slide only)
- PNG (preferred format for photos or images)
Figure legends
The legends should be included in the main manuscript text file at the end of the document, rather than being a part of the figure file. For each figure, the following information should be provided: Figure number (in sequence, using Arabic numerals - i.e. Figure 1, 2, 3 etc); short title of figure (maximum 15 words); detailed legend, up to 300 words.
Please note that it is the responsibility of the author(s) to obtain permission from the copyright holder to reproduce figures or tables that have previously been published elsewhere.
Preparing a personal cover page
If you wish to do so, you may submit an image which, in the event of publication, will be used to create a cover page for the PDF version of your article. The cover page will also display the journal logo, article title and citation details. The image may either be a figure from your manuscript or another relevant image. You must have permission from the copyright to reproduce the image. Images that do not meet our requirements will not be used.
Images must be 300dpi and 155mm square (1831 x 1831 pixels for a raster image).
Allowable formats - EPS, PDF (for line drawings), PNG, TIFF (for photographs and screen dumps), JPEG, BMP, DOC, PPT, CDX, TGF (ISIS/Draw).
Preparing tables
Each table should be numbered and cited in sequence using Arabic numerals (i.e. Table 1, 2, 3 etc.). Tables should also have a title (above the table) that summarizes the whole table; it should be no longer than 15 words. Detailed legends may then follow, but they should be concise. Tables should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.
Smaller tables considered to be integral to the manuscript can be pasted into the end of the document text file, in A4 portrait or landscape format. These will be typeset and displayed in the final published form of the article. Such tables should be formatted using the 'Table object' in a word processing program to ensure that columns of data are kept aligned when the file is sent electronically for review; this will not always be the case if columns are generated by simply using tabs to separate text. Columns and rows of data should be made visibly distinct by ensuring that the borders of each cell display as black lines. Commas should not be used to indicate numerical values. Color and shading may not be used; parts of the table can be highlighted using symbols or bold text, the meaning of which should be explained in a table legend. Tables should not be embedded as figures or spreadsheet files.
Larger datasets or tables too wide for a portrait page can be uploaded separately as additional files. Additional files will not be displayed in the final, laid-out PDF of the article, but a link will be provided to the files as supplied by the author.
Tabular data provided as additional files can be uploaded as an Excel spreadsheet (.xls ) or comma separated values (.csv). As with all files, please use the standard file extensions.
Preparing additional files
Although BMC Psychology does not restrict the length and quantity of data included in an article, we encourage authors to provide datasets, tables, movies, or other information as additional files.
Please note: All Additional files will be published along with the article. Do not include files such as patient consent forms, certificates of language editing, or revised versions of the main manuscript document with tracked changes. Such files should be sent by email to firstname.lastname@example.com, quoting the Manuscript ID number.
Results that would otherwise be indicated as "data not shown" can and should be included as additional files. Since many weblinks and URLs rapidly become broken, BMC Psychology requires that supporting data are included as additional files, or deposited in a recognized repository. Please do not link to data on a personal/departmental website. The maximum file size for additional files is 20 MB each, and files will be virus-scanned on submission.
Additional files can be in any format, and will be downloadable from the final published article as supplied by the author. We recommend CSV rather than PDF for tabular data.
Certain supported files formats are recognized and can be displayed to the user in the browser. These include most movie formats (for users with the Quicktime plugin), mini-websites prepared according to our guidelines, chemical structure files (MOL, PDB), geographic data files (KML).
If additional material is provided, please list the following information in a separate section of the manuscript text:
- File name (e.g. Additional file 1)
- File format including the correct file extension for example .pdf, .xls, .txt, .pptx (including name and a URL of an appropriate viewer if format is unusual)
- Title of data
- Description of data
Additional files should be named "Additional file 1" and so on and should be referenced explicitly by file name within the body of the article, e.g. 'An additional movie file shows this in more detail [see Additional file 1]'.
Additional file formats
Ideally, file formats for additional files should not be platform-specific, and should be viewable using free or widely available tools. The following are examples of suitable formats.
Additional documentation
- PDF (Adode Acrobat)
- SWF (Shockwave Flash)
- MOV (Quicktime)
Tabular data
- XLS, XLSX (Excel Spreadsheet)
- CSV (Comma separated values)
As with figure files, files should be given the standard file extensions.
Small self-contained websites can be submitted as additional files, in such a way that they will be browsable from within the full text HTML version of the article. In order to do this, please follow these instructions:
- Create a folder containing a starting file called index.html (or index.htm) in the root.
- Put all files necessary for viewing the mini-website within the folder, or sub-folders.
- Ensure that all links are relative (ie "images/picture.jpg" rather than "/images/picture.jpg" or "http://yourdomain.net/images/picture.jpg" or "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\mini-website\images\picture.jpg") and no link is longer than 255 characters.
- Access the index.html file and browse around the mini-website, to ensure that the most commonly used browsers (Internet Explorer and Firefox) are able to view all parts of the mini-website without problems, it is ideal to check this on a different machine.
- Compress the folder into a ZIP, check the file size is under 20 MB, ensure that index.html is in the root of the ZIP, and that the file has .zip extension, then submit as an additional file with your article.
Style and language
Currently, BMC Psychology can only accept manuscripts written in English. Spelling should be US English or British English, but not a mixture.
There is no explicit limit on the length of articles submitted, but authors are encouraged to be concise.
BMC Psychology will not edit submitted manuscripts for style or language; reviewers may advise rejection of a manuscript if it is compromised by grammatical errors. Authors are advised to write clearly and simply, and to have their article checked by colleagues before submission. In-house copyediting will be minimal. Non-native speakers of English may choose to make use of a copyediting service.
Help and advice on scientific writing
The abstract is one of the most important parts of a manuscript. For guidance, please visit our page on Writing titles and abstracts for scientific articles.
Tim Albert has produced for BioMed Central a list of tips for writing a scientific manuscript. American Scientist also provides a list of resources for science writing. For more detailed guidance on preparing a manuscript and writing in English, please visit the BioMed Central author academy.
Abbreviations should be used as sparingly as possible. They should be defined when first used and a list of abbreviations can be provided following the main manuscript text.
- Please use double line spacing.
- Type the text unjustified, without hyphenating words at line breaks.
- Use hard returns only to end headings and paragraphs, not to rearrange lines.
- Capitalize only the first word, and proper nouns, in the title.
- All lines and pages should be numbered. Authors are asked to ensure that line numbering is included in the main text file of their manuscript at the time of submission to facilitate peer-review. Once a manuscript has been accepted, line numbering should be removed from the manuscript before publication. For authors submitting their manuscript in Microsoft Word please do not insert page breaks in your manuscript to ensure page numbering is consistent between your text file and the PDF generated from your submission and used in the review process.
- Use the BMC Psychology reference format.
- Footnotes are not allowed, but endnotes are permitted.
- Please do not format the text in multiple columns.
- Greek and other special characters may be included. If you are unable to reproduce a particular special character, please type out the name of the symbol in full. Please ensure that all special characters used are embedded in the text, otherwise they will be lost during conversion to PDF.
SI units should be used throughout (liter and molar are permitted, however).

College watch: Jeannette's Batts producing for IUP
College Football Videos
It's more than a team on a roll, it's a team on a mission.
The IUP football team — featuring Jeannette product Jordan Batts at defensive end — continued to show it's among the best teams in all of NCAA Division II with a 62-3 drubbing of Millersville on Saturday.
Batts, a redshirt sophomore, had a sack in the lopsided win. The Jeannette High School graduate now has 11 tackles, including 4 solo stops and 1.5 sacks, on the season.
With the win, IUP is 5-0 overall, 2-0 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and ranked seventh in the country by the American Football Coaches Association. The Crimson Hawks take on conference foe Slippery Rock at 2 p.m. this Saturday. Slippery Rock is 5-1 overall, 1-1 in the conference and coming off of a big 58-10 win over Kutztown. The game will be broadcast at iupathletics.com.
Craft sees action
Division II West Liberty "played up" when the Hilltoppers traveled to Pittsburgh to take on Duquesne of the Division I-FCS. Duquesne took the contest 27-14 in a game that was closer than many expected.
Jeannette grad Shavonta Craft, a freshman running back, had two carries for four yards for West Liberty. The Hilltoppers are now 2-3 overall and 2-1 in the Mountain East conference. They return to conference play this Saturday when they visit Fairmont State (2-3, 1-3). Kickoff is at 2 p.m. and the game will be broadcast at hilltopersports.com.
Hall out as OSU wins
In Division I action, Ohio State pulled out a 40-30 victory over then No. 16 Northwestern in game that was close late into the fourth quarter. With the win, the Buckeyes stay undefeated and built their winning streak to 18 games.
Jeannette grad Jordan Hall, a fifth-year senior running back with the Buckeyes, did not play, however, as he missed the game with knee injury.
In his post-game press conference, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said "Jordan Hall has got a little knee issue that we're dealing with right now, and I don't know how bad. I didn't think we'd not have him this weekend."
Hall rushed for 422 yards and eight touchdowns during the Buckeyes' first four games of the season, twice setting career highs for rushing yards in a game.
However, Hall's playing time diminished in recent weeks with the return of running back Carlos Hyde from suspension, prompting Ohio State coaches to make statements about their desire to get Hall more involved with the offense.
It is not yet clear if he will play when the Ohio State returns to action on Oct. 19 against Iowa. The Buckeyes — now 6-0 and ranked No. 4 in the country according to the Associated Press — are off this coming weekend.
Win for Waynesburg, Paulone
In Division III action, Waynesburg and Jeannette native Thomas Paulone got back on the winning track last week with a 35-21 win over Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) rival Thiel on Saturday.
Waynesburg was up as 28-7 early in the fourth quarter before Thiel mounted a late comeback. Paulone a senior running back, had four carries for six yards. He had a 13-yard run, but a few carries for negative yardage made his total smaller.
For the season, Paulone is fourth on the team with 75 rushing yards on 14 carries, an impressive average of 5.4 yards-per-carry.
Waynesburg is now 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the PAC. The Yellow Jackets travel north to take on conference foe Grove City (3-2, 1-2) Saturday. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m., and the game will be broadcast at waynesburgsports.com.
Big day for Brown
Also in the PAC, the St. Vincent College football team continues to search for its first win, but local product Darius Brown continues to make big plays for the Bearcats.
St. Vincent fell to Carnegie Mellon 34-7 on Saturday to fall to 0-4 overall and 0-2 in the PAC. In the loss, Brown, a junior defensive back, had five tackles in the effort. He also returned two kickoffs for a total of 38 yards. Brown has 14 total tackles and four pass defenses overall this season.
St. Vincent has its best chance yet to grab a victory Saturday when the team travels to take on Thiel (0-5, 0-3). Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. and the game will be broadcast at athletics.stvincent.edu.
Mount Union, Mahoney win again
It was another huge win for Mount Union and Jeannette native Pat Mahoney as the Purple Raiders slaughtered Ohio Northern 58-7 Saturday. Mount Union is now 4-0 and ranked No. I in Division III.
Mahoney, a Greensburg Central Catholic grad, is the team's starting center. The winning streak will likely continue this Saturday when Mount Union hosts Wilmington, a team that won just one game last season and is still searching for its first win of 2013.
Still, Mahoney said the powerhouse Mount Union — which beat Wilmington 66-0 last season — is not taking the game lightly.
"We still treat it as a big game," said Mahoney. "We never look past anyone."
Kickoff will be at 7 p.m., and the game will be broadcast at athletics.mountunion.edu.

Updated 5 p.m.
LAS CRUCES >> Las Crucens have donated more than $1,800 to Las Cruces Public Schools to help cover student lunch debts after the Sun-News reported unpaid meal fees totaled nearly $16,000 across the district.
Teo Regalado, owner of the IHOP on Telshor Boulevard, donated $1,456.99 to cover all debts of LCPS students who receive reduced-price meals, an urge to help shared by former owner Mike Tellez.
The two wanted to help the "middle" kids, those who aren't the lowest-income students receiving free meals or whose parents aren't self-sufficient, LCPS spokeswoman Jo Galván said in an email.
LCPS middle schools prohibit students from buying lunch in the school cafeteria once their account has been charged $25. Elementary school students will never be denied meals, though students' unpaid balances run as high as $97.80.
"I don't think it's fair for any kid anywhere ... not to give them their meal," Regalado said.
A native of Mexico, Regalado said he saw himself in the students.
"It kinda hit me because when I was a kid growing up in Mexico, it was very difficult and I received free meals," he said. "If it wasn't because of those free meals, it would've been more difficult."
Regalado said some of the students' unpaid balances were a mere $1.98.
"That's change," he said. "If we know about it, then we can help."
But Regalado and Tellez's generosity didn't stop there.
The two men will also establish a permanent fund with the LCPS Foundation to help cover lunch debts and school supplies. They hope the account will eliminate those unpaid lunch balances, Regalado said.
The LCPS Foundation will meet with the men to work out the details and establish an account for the donations, said Brigitte Zigelhofer, who works with the Foundation. The Foundation is already accepting donations for the fund, she said.
"They're just so eager so help, and we're just so excited to get it on paper," she said.
Regalado and Tellez will also continue their tradition of cooking pancakes for the hundreds of volunteers who will participate in the annual Comcast Cares Day. This year's event will beautify Mesilla Elementary School on Saturday.
"We are here to help," Regalado said. "We're not just here to be a business."
Also Wednesday, an anonymous couple visited Mesa Middle School and donated $250 to help cover students' lunch debts there. Eleven Mesa students have debts of $25, the most of any LCPS middle school.Also Wednesday, an anonymous couple visited Mesa Middle School and donated $250 to help cover students' lunch debts there.
