The legal requirements for getting married in Turkey are relatively simple and straight forward.
The following information is intended to be a starting point and guideline only.
Although much care and effort has been taken to ensure the information provided is correct please do not take it as legal advice. I strongly advise you to consult the Turkish Embassy for first hand information.
Marriages performed in Turkey are internationally recognised and legally binding.
There are no minimum residency requirements, providing that you obtain a Certificate of No Impediment from the relevant authority in your country of residence. However, I would suggest arriving at least three working days prior to your proposed wedding date to allow sufficient time for your Certificate of No Impediment and other relevant documents to be translated and authenticated.
If you have not obtained this document then you will be required to be resident in Turkey for 21 days prior to applying for a Certificate of No Impediment, and a further 21 days for the relevant documentation to be issued. Therefore, you will need to allow a minimum of 42 days from the time you apply for the necessary documentation to the day of your wedding ceremony.
Foreign nationals wishing to marry in Turkey are required to:
All documentation is required to be original and translated into Turkish by the relevant authorities. It is advisable that your Certificate of No Impediment is not issued more than three months prior to your wedding day.
Please Note: Although for most countries Certificates of No Impediment don't have an expiry date has such, those issued by certain countries are only valid for three months after the date of issue.
The following documentation for both the bride and groom is required to be presented when applying for a marriage licence in Turkey.
If a woman has been previously married she must wait three hundred days following divorce, annulment or widowhood before being allowed to remarry.
Depending on the area in which you are getting married you may be required to have a medical examination and a blood test, prior to the ceremony taking place.
You may be required to provide written confirmation by your hotel of your dates of stay.
Civil marriages performed by an authorized marriage officer are the only legally binding type of ceremony. If you would like to have a religious ceremony you must first have a civil ceremony.
For further information on the legal requirements for getting married in Turkey please contact the Turkish Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence.
Turkish Embassy in the UK
Turkish Embassy in Ireland
Turkish Embassy in Australia
Turkish Embassy in New Zealand
Turkish Embassy in the USA
Turkish Embassy in Canada
Turkish Embassy in South Africa
In addition, contact your country's Embassy in Turkey:
British Embassy in Turkey
Irish Embassy in Turkey
Australian Embassy in Turkey
New Zealand Embassy in Turkey
American Embassy in Turkey
Canadian Embassy in Turkey
South African Embassy in Turkey
I would highly recommend you employ the services of a Wedding Planner or Turkish Travel Specialist to help deal with the paperwork and legalities. If you choose to make an application for a wedding licence yourself, you will need to make provisions to ensure your documentation is correctly submitted and lodged on time.
If you are planning your own destination wedding in Turkey but do not feel comfortable arranging the legalities then the perfect option may be a combination of organising it yourself and using a wedding planner.
Many wedding planners in Turkey will happily sort out the paperwork to ensure your marriage is legal and charge you a one-off fee for doing this. You will not be under any obligation to use their services for organising any other part of your wedding.
You will then have the confidence that your marriage will be legal and you can organise the rest of your wedding however you desire.
Requirements are subject to change in accordance with the laws of Turkey. Information updated as at June 2013

Phil Robertson was suspended from the A&E series 'Duck Dynasty' for making disparaging and raunchy comments to GQ magazine about gay people. He was reinstated by the network Dec. 27.

I'm just back from a week out of the country, and it appears I missed some major happenings.
Political news sites report a significant development in the Pajama Boy controversy (involving a promotion for Obamacare) and the "Duck Dynasty" flap. There's apparently a new scandal, as well, over the Obama family's failure to attend church on Christmas. Then there's the brouhaha about a church in California putting a likeness of Trayvon Martin in its Christmas manger.
From the Drudge Report, meanwhile, I learned the naked truth about two other incidents: a Louisville, Ky., man who ran through a ...

Thirteen local Girl Scouts are receiving the Gold Award from Girl Scouts of Western Ohio this year.
The Girl Scout Gold Award ceremony kicks off Girl Scout Week and will be 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 10, at The Phoenix in downtown Cincinnati. The ceremony presentation will begin at 3:30 p.m.
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that Girl Scouts in grades nine to 12 may earn. The efforts put forth to earn this award express a special commitment by the recipient to herself, her community and her future.
The required steps for this award are chosen to help Girl Scouts develop 21st century skills, practice leadership, explore a need in the community and the world, and learn more about themselves. Some criterion for the girls' project includes community involvement outside of the Girl Scout structure, being innovative, project sustainability and taking action to educate and inspire others.
Approximately 6 percent of Girl Scouts nationwide earn this award. At least 80 hours have been dedicated to a project over a time span of one to two years.
The Girl Scout Gold Award is just one trademark of our long history. However, the Gold Award has not always been so-named. The Golden Eagle of Merit (Golden Eaglet), the highest award in Girl Scouting from 1916 to 1919, marked the beginning of a long tradition of using prestigious awards to recognize girls who make a difference in their communities and in their own lives.
From 1940 to 1963, the Curved Bar Award was the highest honor in Girl Scouting. From 1963 to 1980, First Class was the highest award. To achieve First Class meant that a girl was an "all-around" person with some skills in many fields and a proficiency in one. Since 1981, the Gold Award has been the highest award. Approximately 1 million Girl Scouts have earned the Gold Award or its equivalent since 1916.
Girl Scout Gold Award recipients include: Stephanie Allaire (Evendale), Kristen Bisig (Loveland), Lauren Crall (Loveland), Cassidy Duckett (Franklin), Catherine Elsaesser (Wyoming), Jeanette Gourley (Waynesville), Madison Hartshorn (Waynesville), Stacey Marshall (Colerain Township), Kristy Martini (Sunman, IN), Tyler Poirier (Hyde Park), Meghan Kate Tegtmeier (Loveland), Jessica Ann Wells (Guilford, IN) and Clara Young (Waynesville).

How good are swings? They're awesome when you're a kid, a never-ending source of glee and begs to minders of 'just one more!'. I'd argue that even once you're an adult and your adult butt no longer fits into the swing, you still have that longing when you wander by them. And then, if you're lucky enough, a child enters your life in one way or another (nieces and nephews are mine!) and as you push them on the swing, their sheer joy is contagiously passed to you as you push them higher and higher, just to prompt the next shriek and giggle.
Last weekend, as has happened in so many family shoots before, we passed by a playground on our way to our perfect spot along Merri Creek in Melbourne's norther suburbs.
A run around on a playground is often traded by parents for best behaviour on shoot outings or encouraged as a way to let off some steam of the truly energetic brood and I'll always reel off a few frames for fun; Mainly because I'm a documenter and it's hard to get any child as unguarded as they are on a playground but having grown up in an age where photos were on film and cameras were mostly only brought out on a special occasions, I adore photos of humans in their 'norm' and in particular, the genuine interaction that can be so elusive to capture.
These frames are rarely the perfect hero shots so generally don't see the light of day but this time I'm sharing.

Coral Creeps Up Island Slopes to Stay at the Surface
Volcanic islands can develop a fringing reef of coral that persists as the volcano submerges, transitioning first to a barrier reef and later to an atoll at the island sinks below the waves. But how does the coral manage to keep even with the sea surface? »

Chase Utley Drops An Effenheimer On Live TV
Let's face it, there's nothing like winning the World Series. For all the hand-wringing and micromanaging and doubting that goes on during the 162-game regular season, it's all entirely irrelevant as soon as that trophy gets raised. If it's good enough for a title, it's good enough for everybody else.
Or, as Chase Utley chose to put it during their celebration at a packed Citizens Bank Park, "World F***ing Champions!" (NSFW audio, obviously). Okay then.
Understandably, the crowd strongly disapproved of the harsh language and booed lustily—oh wait, that didn't happen at all.

Both Garcia and Rivera are horrendous candidates who will only serve their own special interests if elected. Rivera may have been recently investigated by the FBI, but were he or Garcia elected in November, you can be assured of more allegations and investigations.
Better watch out for more dangling chad.... :)
So the most corrupt and bigoted Justice Department in American history has kept the investigation open? Gee what a surprise.
Perhaps Harry Reid and the other corrupt liars in the debt mongering socialists party could also weigh in.
Good luck Mr. Rivera!
It is now apparent that Mr. Rivera has broken campaign laws by sponsoring the Democratic candidate Justin Lamar Sternad...If anyone wants read REAL NEWS they will not get it from the Wall Street Journal....

LEXINGTON, Ky. (5/27/13) – Kentucky track and field took a major step forward as a program at the NCAA East Preliminary Championships, which wrapped up on Saturday at Irwin Belk Track.
Four Wildcats clinched spots in the NCAA Semifinals on Saturday giving Kentucky 11 entries (10 competitors) total going into the National Championship Meet.
The top-12 placers in each event qualified for the NCAA Championships, which will be held June 5-9, 2013 at Oregon's Historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
Six Wildcat men will be in the Eugene field, while four women will compete in five events.
Six of the ten Wildcats that clinched spots in the NCAA Outdoor Championship field will compete in the event for the first time.
Chelsea Oswald continued her top form in the 5,000 meters as she posted the No. 3 qualifying time out of the east crossing the finish line in 15:59.20. The 2013 SEC Champion at 5K and 10K will be the lone Wildcat two compete in two events at NCAAs.
Matt Hillenbrand displayed an impressive kick on the bell lap holding off three rival competitors down the home stretch to win his heat in 3:47.72. The SEC Indoor Mile Champion reached the NCAA Championships for the first time in his career.
Keith Hayes confirmed his spot in the fourth NCAA Outdoor Championships of his stellar career with a wind legal season best 110-meter hurdles time 13.26.
Kayla Parker, a junior team captain, cruised into the NCAA 100-meter hurdles semifinal with a time of 13.26. She will be making her debut appearance at the NCAA Championships.
Seven other Wildcats booked their spots in Eugene on either Thursday or Friday.
Andrew Evans, Rebecca Famurewa and Chelsea Oswald, Raymond Dykstra, Bradley Szypka, Keilah Tyson and Luis Orta all qualified for NCAAs before Saturday.
Tamyah Pipkin posted a .03-second wind legal collegiate best time 23.64 in the 200 meters. She was fifth in her heat and placed 15th overall.
Cally Macumber was heartbreakingly sixth in the second 5K heat missing the automatic qualifying place by a spot. She was 13th overall.
Macumber concludes a spectacular breakout 2012-13 season having been named First Team All-American in cross country as well as in the distance medley relay and 3K indoors. She also was SEC Champion in cross country and the 3K.
Allison Peare was eighth in heat two of the women's 1,500m with a time of 4:22.50. She placed 16th overall. Peare closes a great 2012-13 season having been First Team All-American in the DMR and All-Southeast Region in cross country.
The UK women's 4x100-meter relay team was disqualified for passing the baton outside the zone on the first exchange.
Kentucky advanced three men -- Luis Orta, Raymond Dykstra and Andrew Evans – to Nationals in 2012.

New Tabletop Game Review: ExpediteDecember 04, 2012 DarlingDork No comments
Written by Zeb Larson
Expedite is a new release by Turnham Games, based around managing shipping centers for the entire globe. Players compete to set up routes between major cities to ship goods, receiving points based on the length of the route. The game is designed for between two to four players and is relatively quick, clocking out around 45 minutes. The game includes a map of all the different shipping centers, four different sets of colored chips and pawns, a deck of colored "plane" cards, the "world trade" cards and a rulebook. The map shows a variety of different cities across the world, all of which link to certain other cities. These cities are referred to as hubs and are color-coded, matching up to the colors of different plane cards. They range in cost from one to three and can be purchased from other players by multiplying the original cost by how many times they were purchased. Players can take one of four actions in a turn: drawing plane cards, purchasing a hub, playing a scoring card or discarding a trade card and drawing a new one.
The world trade cards are the scoring mechanism of the game. The cards will list a route for a set amount of points; one example would be a route from New York to Bangkok, which if completed will give the player 21 points. However, a player does not have to control each hub along the way (with the exception of the starting hub). Instead, if a hub is controlled by a different player, you lose points for the route equal to the value of your opponent's city, which they then receive. Clever opponents will hijack certain critical hubs and guarantee themselves a cut of a person's payout.
Playing this game, my friends and I were immediately struck by its obvious similarities to Ticket to Ride. In and of itself, a game's similarity to another is not a bad thing. Game designers should borrow concepts and mechanics from one another if they work well. Obviously, designers should not produce carbon-copies of other games, for legal as well as pragmatic reasons, but inspiration is a good thing and Expedite succeeds in this regard. The ability to buy up your opponent's hubs changes the flow of gameplay compared to TTR, as players cannot count on maintaining the same routes throughout the game. If somebody has built an unbroken route, you can start to dismantle it. This element of the game is fun and well thought-out.
I worry though that this game might run out for more in-depth strategy gamers. The hub-purchasing mechanism doesn't go quite as far as it should. It's true that you can use it to profit from your opponent's scoring cards, but we never had a play through where it made a critical difference. If I control one or two hubs in another player's route, I can expect to make at most 4 or 5 points. If they're playing a 20 or 21 point scoring card (which there are plenty of), it's still almost always within their interests to play the card. In theory, I can buy up a starting hub for a route, but as the trade cards are secret, this is difficult (not to mention quite expensive). It's a great idea, but it should be a bit more expensive, or the routes should be less profitable.
If the game does a good job in adapting ideas from TTR, it also might be more fun to play if it hadn't adapted the same point structure.. You are limited to a scoring card hand size of three at any time, and the cards are useless to you if the starting hub is controlled by somebody else and you can't buy it out from them. Say that in the course of playing, you burn through your original scoring cards, and your new ones have starting hubs that either can't be bought or are too expensive to buy. You can become stuck for turns just discarding and drawing new ones. Contrast this with TTR. You can't buy out hubs from people, but you can draw multiple tickets all at once and cherry pick which ones are useful to you. It's a little less luck-based.
There are also some game decisions which I'm sure were made for game balance but which seem like weird logical fallacies. There's no trans-Pacific trade. None. I understand that those higher-scoring cards, such as NY to Bangkok, would be a lot easier if you could fly across the ocean and would make them too powerful with the right hubs. My response to that is that the scoring structure could probably be redistributed to move away from longer-routes, or at least focus the high-scoring ones on Eurasia exclusively.
I liked the production values in the game. My friends seemed to think that the map was hard to read, though I didn't have any particular issue with it (maybe looking at Pandemic's or Warriors & Traders has deadened me to this complaint). The rulebook is well-written and concise, something deserving of praise. I grasped the rules in about forty-five seconds flat, though part of that may have been my own familiarity with TTR.
Bear in mind that I am writing this review as a snobbish Eurogamer and one who has fairly brutal standards for what makes a great game. This would be a fantastic game to introduce new gamers to or a fun one to play as a family. Outside of my elitist gamer groups, this game probably ranks somewhere between a 7 and a 9. For me personally, this was closer to a 6, but I would encourage people to seek this game out on their own and make up their own mind about it. It's certainly worth trying.

November 28, 2015
PARIS (AP) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and top envoys from 10 other countries are raising the pressure on Syria's main opposition group to attend peace talks that would bring it face-to-face with the Syrian government.
The Western-backed Syrian National Coalition is nearing collapse, hampered by infighting, international pressure and disagreement over whether to negotiate with Syria's president, Bashar Assad.
The moderate rebels find themselves battling on two fronts - against al-Qaida linked militants on one side and Assad's forces on another. But despite low expectations for the Geneva peace conference, diplomats say it is the only chance of ending fighting that has killed more than 130,000 people.

Reviews of The Ming
UP FRONT PLUMBING. Area Expert 68 reviewsWe have been to The Ming a couple of times, and never had a problem, fantastic food and service
The_fridge 22 reviewsVery disappointed ing The Ming, premium prices for food court quality food. Made a reservation which resulted in being squashed onto a small table right at the door, while walk ins were given better tables. Special fried rice was barely a standard fried rice very bland . Two courses were like warm and the dish on a sizzle plate had no sizzle, then a waiter dropped a drink in my lap. Just a bad experience all around considered holding my sons 18th there but will now look elsewhere . Do yourself a favour and go to Harry's and get a pie
Pleasant in a suburban kind of way. The food was in good sized portions, hot and reasonably tasty although Szechuan prawns were a mild imitation Asking for green tea, we were told it was Jasmine but it was smoky and appeared to be Oolong - certainly not Jasmine. They did get chopsticks when I asked for them. The fried ice cream wasn't exciting and came with lashings of what seemed like bad sweet commercial milkshake flavourings for "sauce". Seating initially a bit squeezy for the party but they were very happy to move us to a better location. Good decor with some interesting items displayed on the walls.
mareeblundell 1 reviewWe held my daughter Casey's 21st at the Ming last night! Couldn't have picked a better place to hold it.The function room was set up so nice, The food was unbelievable and so much of it, we chose the $33 banquet..And the staff they couldn't have been more helpful to me in arranging it. They are so friendly and bent over backwards to make the night so special. A great big thank you to all of you. One happy mum :)
I went to The Ming last night for the first time with a few friends and we all had a marvelous time. The food was fantastic, the satff freindly. We only paid $125 for Shared Entrees, 4 Main course, rice and even desserts and drinks! Great food, great services, beuatiful decore. Deiffinatly a must and we all will be returning.
sarzee2710 5 reviewsA beautiful Chinese Restaurant located inside Panthers Club. Gormet food, great service, very friendly staff, quick service without jeopardising the quality of the food, plenty of room, and large groups don't seem to be an issue - banquets are great and loads of variety
I found the food to be very overpriced, especially in comparison to other Chinese restaurants in the area. Half of our table enjoyed the food whilst the other half didn't, so it's mixed reviews. It took almost an hour for our food to come, which was frustrating hoever the staff were very pleasant which was a bonus.

Dell to partner with Baidu for tablets and mobile phones
updated 08:05 am EDT, Tue September 6, 2011
Dell, Baidu partner on mobile devices
Dell is to partner with Baidu to develop tablets and mobile phones aimed at cracking the burgeoning Chinese mobile devices market, according to a report. With a mobile phone subscriber base in excess of 900 million users, and one of the fastest growing tablet markets in the world, the move may be a way of rekindling Dell's flagging mobile devices business.
Baidu is one of the best known brands in the Chinese market and is the dominant web search Engine in the country - mobile devices carrying the branding are expected to be well received. However, industry analysts are not so sure that Dell will succeed with this new strategy. The Chinese mobile devices market is currently dominated by Apple and Lenovo.
"I suspect this is just Dell, who has a lot of problems on the mobile and tablet front, grasping at straws to get any kind of publicity that it can to make its product more attractive," Michael Clendening, managing director of technology consultancy RedTech Advisors, told Reuters.
Dell has been increasingly interested in opportunities in the Chinese market. Its Streak 10 Pro tablet was launched in China first, ahead of launches in the US and Europe.
"Dell has got nothing to lose, they don't have a big mobile presence, so by partnering Baidu, they will probably get some momentum for their mobile products," said Sandy Shen, a research director with Gartner.
Baidu, for its part, seems quite determined to emulate Google's model, and has already launched a new mobile app platform, but is also developing its on tablet and mobile phone OS.
At this stage, the first Dell-made devices are expected to be Android-based although no firm timeframe has been outlined as to when the Dell-Baidu mobile devices are expected to launch.

Physiological Tolerances and The Heat Shock Response in Hydrothermal Vent Animals
Wednesday — July 28, 2010
Pacific Forum — 3:00 p.m.
Hydrothermal vent environments are extreme and unstable habitats where specialized organisms thrive. Hydrothermal fluid seeps from cracks in the seafloor and is enriched in inorganic carbon and hydrogen sulfide, depleted in oxygen, and elevated in temperature. The venting fluid mixes with ambient deep-sea water to create a range of physical and chemical conditions within a vent field. Proximity and rate of vent flow, as well as site-specific chemical and physical properties of the hydrothermal fluid, are the major determinants of conditions affecting organisms at any particular location. Species distributions among vent sites and spatial patterns within vent sites are believed to be the result of both ecological and physiological factors. I will discuss my work investigating the physiological tolerances of vent animals from the Lau Back Arc Basin as it relates to species distribution and observed zonation patterns.

Osteochondromas are common benign tumors most often occurring in the metadiaphyseal region of long bones. Spinal osteochondromas, however, are rare. Only one to four percent of osteochondromas occur in the spine. We present a case of a possible solitary osteochondroma (arising from the posterior C4 vertebral body and protruding into the central canal) as an incidental finding in an eight year-old female who was imaged after cervical spine trauma.
Case report
An eight-year-old female presented to the emergency room after cervical spine trauma. The patient was asymptomatic prior to the trauma but developed cervical spine tenderness as a result of the trauma. She did not have any symptoms of myelopathy or radiculopathy. A noncontrast CT of the cervical spine was obtained. Although no acute fractures were identified, a solitary, well-circumscribed bone tumor was incidentally identified arising from the posterior margin of the C4 vertebral body, with cortical continuity with the parent vertebra (Fig. 1). The tumor resulted in central canal narrowing. A pre- and postcontrast MRI of the cervical spine was performed for further characterization of the lesion. The MRI demonstrated marrow continuity of the lesion with the C4 vertebral body and a possible small cartilage cap (Fig. 2), consistent with an osteochondroma. There was associated flattening and compression of the anterior spinal cord at the C4 level. No evidence of malignant degeneration was identified. Given the lack of symptomatology, to our knowledge, the lesion was not resected and therefore, definitive pathologic correlation could not be obtained. The patient did not have a known history of hereditary multiple exostoses.
Figure 1. Eight-year-old female with cervical spine osteochondroma. Cervical spine osteochondroma in an asymptomatic 8 year-old female. Axial (A) and Sagittal (B) CT images in bone windows (C 570, W 3077) demonstrate a circumscribed broad based bony lesion arising from the C4 posterior vertebral body and protruding into the central canal. There is cortical continuity between the lesion and the parent vertebra.
Figure 2. Eight-year-old female with cervical spine osteochondroma. MR images. Axial T2 (4100/100)-weighted (A), sagittal T2 (3500/135)-weighted (B), and sagittal T1 (400/12)-weighted postcontrast (C) images show a circumscribed lesion isointense to bone marrow on all sequences, arising from the C4 posterior vertebral body, with marrow continuity with the parent vertebra. A small, mildly hyperintense cartilage cap is possibly identified on the T2-weighted images. The lesion protrudes into the central canal, resulting in compression and flattening of the anterior spinal cord.
Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors and most often affect the long bones, particularly the distal femur and proximal tibia. The lesion is composed of cortical and medullary bone, with an overlying hyaline cartilage cap. Continuity of the lesion with the underlying native bone cortex and medullary canal is considered pathognomonic for an osteochondroma. Hereditary multiple exostoses is a syndrome associated with multiple osteochondromas. Complications of osteochondromas include deformity, fracture, vascular compromise, neurologic sequelae, bursa formation, and malignant degeneration (1).
Spinal osteochondromas arise from the spine in 1% to 4% and 7% to 9% of people without and with hereditary multiple exostoses, respectively. They most commonly arise from the cervical portion, with C2 being the most frequently affected level (2). Within the spine, they more commonly arise from the spinous and transverse process, but can also arise from the vertebral body, pedicle, and rarely the facet joints (3, 4, 5).
The present case is unique in the location of the possible osteochondroma, arising from the posterior vertebral body. Not only is vertebral body involvement uncommon, it also tends to be isolated to the anterior vertebral body. Based on a review of the literature, we did not find any cases of cervical osteochondroma arising from the posterior vertebral body. Furthermore, the present case is also unusual in that the possible osteochondroma was asymptomatic, despite the central canal narrowing and spinal-cord compression. This is in contradistinction to most osteochondromas involving the spinal canal, which tend to cause neurological symptoms even when relatively small (1).
Radiological modalities in osteochondroma evaluation include plain radiographs, CT, MRI, and bone scintigraphy. MRI can be of use if malignant transformation is suspected. Bone scintigraphy can evaluate for the presence of additional osteochondromas, which are found in approximately 50% of patients with a cervical spine osteochondroma (6).
An osteochondroma that is asymptomatic, as in our potential case, requires no treatment. However, if there is associated pain or neurologic abnormality, it should be excised at its base. The osteochondroma should not recur after excision as long as the cartilage cap is entirely removed (3, 4). Laminectomy with decompression of neural elements is the treatment of choice for a symptomatic intracanal osteochondroma (7).

Don't Lose Sight of RFID
When it comes to drug serialization today, 2-D bar coding seems to dominate most discussions. "There's more gravitational interest in 2-D bar coding," notes Reik Read, managing director and senior analyst, supply chain technology, Robert W. Baird & Co. "It does the job, and it is understood."
Could a new ISO standard for RFID tagging change that? ISO 17367:2009, Supply chain applications of RFID - Product tagging, which defines the basic product tagging features of RFID for use in the supply chain, was issued in late February.
"People are hungry for standards," he says. "When standards come out, it is difficult to know their impact. But ISO offers a good framework for dealing with data issues."
For instance, explains June Ruby of Motorola, "standards, such as ISO 17367:2009, provide a method for consistent and predictable data exchange between supply-chain partners and will be a catalyst for realizing the promise of end-to-end traceability." (Motorola's fixed and mobile scanners and RFID readers can be used by manufacturers to track raw materials, work in process, and finished goods within their internal process as well as to provide their partners with critical supply chain data.)
One sticking point for pharma has been industry's doubt that Six Sigma performance can be achieved during data capture on packaging lines. But Read believes users can achieve it-they just may need some customization on their lines.
"Pharma needs to see RFID proven in other industries to believe it," he says. For instance, "there's an awful lot of Gen2 RFID pilot activity in apparel and a clear value add. One vendor, for instance, is savings 15 hours of labor per week per sales person, or about 35% of the average sales work week. The savings is being redeployed and is allowing the average salesman to cover more accounts."
In addition, people and asset tracking have been going on for a long time--maybe for 10 years, says Read. "Better asset utilization has allowed hospitals to defer capital expenditures, which has been helpful during this economic downturn," he notes. "And nurses spend more time nursing instead of tracking items."
Distributors in particular have advocated RFID use for some time. "To read 2-D bar codes, distributors have to throw a lot more labor at it than they would if they used RFID. With bar codes, every item needs to get scanned. RFID could really be a nice benefit in terms of labor and tracking inventory," Read says.
But while drug manufacturers and distributors have collaborated in several RFID pilots in the past years, manufacturer interest in RFID has waned.
"When big pharma starts to see value in RFID, such as meaningful savings and increased sales, that's when you'll see a change in thinking. Manufacturers have to acknowledge that 'maybe our operations are not as efficient as we thought,' " he says.
For instance, if a drug or medical device company's sales force spends most of its time on track-and-trace administration issues, that could be a good catch point, Read points out.
For now, 2-D bar coding is captivating drug serializers. And its use may certainly remain a staple for redundancy. But as supply-chain partners push the benefits of non-line-of-sight data capture--and as drug companies themselves begin to seek greater inventory and tracking efficiencies--RFID may one day burst back into the pharma scene.
After all, FDA and other regulators still mention RFID in future and pending rules. To remain poised for change--and to stay competitive--you may not want to leave RFID completely out of sight.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums.
I've been wanting to get into medium format for a while, and coincidentally just discovered a Pocket Kodak in the spare room closet. I've gone over it and it looks to function properly and is light tight.
My main question is how I'll know when I've advanced the film enough after taking a shot. There is a window in the rear cover that originally had red plastic over it, but the plastic is long gone and I've taped it over. I understand that 120 has backing paper...can I just pull the tape up for a short period and advance till I see the next frame number? How do I know that it's the correct frame number for a 6x9 neg?

Placing 12th at the NCAA Division III National Golf Tournament back in May and making the cut in that tourney for the first time since the new rule change a few years ago, Central head men's golf coach, Chad Green has a lot to boast to prospective candidates for the Dutch golf team. Green has been busy going all around to various tournaments this summer, and he says that he will be staying local and going every which way. Green adds that he is trying to get that next batch of golfers to come into Pella and keep the Dutch tradition going. Central's men will start their fall season in August-September.

During these closures, the last opportunity to enter the southbound DNT in Frisco will be the entrance ramp just south of Stonebrook Parkway. Otherwise, motorists will need to stay on the southbound Dallas Parkway frontage road and then enter the DNT south of Legacy Drive in Plano.
Motorists are urged to use caution in the construction zones and to choose an alternate route in advance.

ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- A female suspect is wanted for attempting to cash a stolen check at a Bank of America in Orange Park on November 26.
According to the Clay County Sheriff's Office, the suspect presented a Florida driver license along with a Bank of America debit card and check written out in the amount of $3300 to the victim.
Both the Bank of America card and license belonged to the victim whose purse was stolen from her vehicle in Jacksonville.
The check was written from the account of another victim whose purse was stolen on November 22 from her vehicle in Gainesville.
The bank manager asked the suspect to step over to his desk in an attempt to verify her identity but the suspect ran out the front door and fled the bank in black Dodge Avenger.
The manager was unable to identify the driver or get the tag number on the car.
Anyone with information regarding this incident or the suspect's identity should contact CCSO Detective Dugger at the Communications Center at 904-264-6512.
The victim's attempted forgery was prevented thanks to the bank manager's intervention.
Officials said this is not always the case when it comes to an auto burglary. Victims are victimized a second time when they realize that the criminal assessed their bank accounts.
Whenever a criminal breaks into a car and steal a purse, wallet or checkbook, they do so with a purpose in mind.
"Thieves may not be content with just the valuables contained in your car - they will try to empty your bank account, too."

Reader question: What happened to the Watermill Restaurant on Appleton Road in Menasha? Did it just change names, or management?
Answer: The Watermill Restaurant & Grill closed abruptly about two weeks ago. A sign on its door said it was changing management.
In reality, the restaurant at 1680 Appleton Road in Menasha was sold and changed ownership, management and its name.
It reopened today, Monday, as the Garden View Family Restaurant.
The new restaurant is owned by Salvador and Maria Silva, and theyre assisted at the restaurant by three of their children. Prior to opening this restaurant, the Silvas owned and operated two Julies Family Restaurants in Wausau and Clintonville. Those two restaurants are still open under new owners or operators.
Garden View is open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. everyday. Breakfast is served all day, and the large menu has soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, wraps and entrees for lunch and dinner. It serves American, Italian and Mexican dishes.
Salvador Silva, originally from Mexico, is the head chef. Even after 33 years here, he speaks limited English. Of Garden View, he says simply, Its an American restaurant.
My dad was looking for something a little bigger, said his daughter Blanca Silva, the restaurants manager. Hes known Kostas for many years and found out Kostas was looking for someone to take it over.
Kostas Katris owned the Watermill Restaurant with his sister Maria and brother George for the five months it was open. None of the Katris family members returned phone calls left at their Faros Family Restaurant, which they still operate in Fond du Lac.
The new Garden View restaurant wasnt named for its view outside, but rather the one Blanca Silva says her mother is gradually creating inside with live plants. Her father, she said, came up with the menu.
He makes his own homemade sauces and bread. Everything is homemade except for the appetizers like onion rings and French fries, she said.
Prices are lower than the Watermills, and on weekdays they serve a $3.99 breakfast special that changes daily. Today it was two eggs and pancakes. Garden View has a senior menu, plus daily specials that can be ordered in small or large sizes.
Silva says the restaurant purchase deal didnt include money to redeem Watermill gift certificates, and she has already had to tell people she cant accept them.
I can understand why people would be upset, but they gave that money to the Watermill, not to us, she said.
An employee who answered the phone at Faros in Fond du Lac was unsure if that restaurant would accept Watermill gift certificates. Katris family members were not on site to answer. If they do, this post will be updated later.
Garden View kept the same phone number: 920-722-3500

Most kids who have asthma also have some kind of allergy, too. With allergy-triggered asthma, someone's asthma symptoms (like coughing and trouble breathing) occur when the person comes in contact with an allergen. But not all asthma is caused by allergies, and not all allergies cause symptoms of asthma.

Future Mavericks? 2014 NBA unrestricted free agents
Photo: Al Bello/Getty Images
The Mavericks have swung and missed on big-time free agents the past couple of years - Dwight Howard last summer and Deron Williams the previous offseason. But Dallas had success luring mid-level FAs such as Monta Ellis. Whom might Dallas have its eyes on in the summer of 2014? Here's a list of some 2014 unrestricted free agents. Note: There are no players who hold options on this list, nor players for which their current teams have the option or players with early termination options, such as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony.

There's something happening right now. That something is a British boy-band explosion , led by One Direction and the Wanted. While 1D touts candy-coated love affairs in their music, the Wanted are selling ones that are enjoyed best with an adult beverage. While they each cater to different audiences, one thing they have in common is that girls absolutely love them.
As both bands bring their signature charms to the States, having already conquered their native U.K., many fans are wondering if there's any rivalry, friendly or otherwise, brewing between the two. One Directioner Niall Horan assures MTV News that everything's cool between the two groups.
"We all know each other. It's the same in the U.K. as it is here, everyone knows each other," he explained. "And, we haven't seen the Wanted in a while. We just haven't been in the same place at the same time. They're really nice guys. And every time we've met them, we've had a good laugh with them. The more, the merrier! Let's bring the British invasion over here and show them what we got, I suppose."
One Direction dropped their debut album, Up All Night , this month and became the first English act to debut at #1 on the Billboard albums chart. Meanwhile, the Wanted will drop their U.S. self-titled debut next month, riding the wave off their hit single, "Glad You Came."
But, it's not just boy bands that U.S. audiences are buying and loving: There's a full-on British invasion, as Horan called it, which reaches far beyond just pop groups, and also includes chart-topping pop divas. "It's pretty cool," he said. "Adele and us and Jessie J and the Wanted, it's all very good."

The suspect in the robbery of the Newfield National Bank on the 500 block of E. Landis Avenue in Vineland was captured after running a truck into a house at Main and Weymouth roads on Tuesday afternoon. / Staff photo/Craig Matthews
More pictures online at thedailyjournal.com/photos
Anyone with information regarding this robbery is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (856) 691-0345 or call Detective Richard Burke at (856) 691-4111, ext. 4181.
VINELAND — An armed suspect held up the Newfield National Bank, just one block from police headquarters, in a daring daylight robbery Tuesday and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash and a trail of pursuing patrol cars.
After a high-speed chase through three municipalities, police nabbed the suspect after he lost control of his get-away vehicle and plowed into the front of house at Main and Weymouth roads in the Forest Grove section of Franklin Township.
The suspect, bloodied by the crash, jumped out the Chevrolet Silverado and tried to flee on foot, police said. After a brief chase through a wooded area, officers grabbed the suspect and placed him under arrest.
At press time Wednesday, police were still compiling the list of charges they planned to lodge against the suspect, whose name they did not release.
The case unfolded just after 2:30 p.m., when Officer Scott ONeill was waved down by a concerned citizen who reported a man had just robbed the bank in the 500 block of East Landis Avenue.
The suspect ran into the municipal free parking lot on the southeast corner of Sixth and Wood streets, the witness told the officer.
Two other uniformed officers, who were in area on foot, ran after the suspect and tried to the jump into the pickup but the suspect fled the scene.
Coordinated through police dispatch, officers from multiple units flooded the area and the high-speed pursuit ensued. The suspect lead police on a chase from the downtown to the northeast section of the city, into Buena Vista Township and ended at the crash scene.
The truck jumped a curb and slammed into the front corner of a house in the 1200 block of North Main Road, Franklin Township. The impact activated the trucks air bags, shattered the windshield and sent a headlight flying.
A license plate search revealed the plate was not registered to the pickup truck, police said.
The suspect, a white male, was dressed in grey sweatpants and a dark blue sweat jacket with the hood pulled down over his head when he was put in the back of a patrol car.
Police did recover a gun. Cash was recovered inside the pickup as well as on the suspect when he was apprehended, according to police.
Officials with Newfield National Bank did not return calls seeking comment about the robbery.
The suspect was taken to South Jersey Healthcare Regional Medical Center for injuries sustained during the crash.
Police didnt search the truck at the scene. Treating the vehicle like a crime scene, they opted to have it towed to the police station.
The owners of nearby Forest Grove Auto Body walked down to the intersection to see what had attracted so much law enforcement attention.
I counted six, said Kay Simione, recounting the police cars screaming past her Main Road business.
John Caruso of Weymouth Road said the house the suspect slammed into belonged to his in-laws. No one was at home at the time of crash, he said.
This is about the sixth vehicle that has crashed into the house, Caruso said. There was once a large tree that prevented vehicles from entering the home. Once the tree was cut down, his in-laws couldnt get permission to the erect a barricade.
Watching the police search the area, neighbors in the tight-knit community voiced concern and warned each other to lock their doors.
A tractor-trailer driver, Louis Green of Upper Pittsgrove called his cousin Dave Carver to tell him about the near collision with the suspects truck as he headed into work.
Green was driving north along Main Road, when he saw the truck coming down Weymouth Road heading toward him at a high rate of speed. Green accelerated to avoid a collision, he told his cousin.
Vineland Police Captain Rudy Beu commended the officers from the patrol and criminal divisions for their collaboration with the police dispatcher.
It was text book, he said.
During the chase, the suspects truck struck another pickup at Garden Road and East Avenue. Watching the trail of pursuing lights and sirens, the driver realized the police were going to be tied up for a while so he drove to the police station to report the collision, police said.
This is the second armed robbery of Newfield National Bank branch in 19 days.
In both instances, the robberies followed a Coffee with a Cop meeting where the police meet with the public to work toward safe neighborhoods.
The May 11 robbery of the branch in the 800 block of North Main Road occurred four days after police hosted the community meeting at Larrys II, next door to the bank.
The robbery Tuesday was six days after Coffee With a Cop was held at Sweet Life Bakery, across the street from the bank that was robbed.
The suspects attire was similar to that of the suspect in the May 11 robbery and police have not ruled out a connection, saying they were pursuing all leads.
The investigation is a joint effort between the police, Cumberland County Prosecutors Office and the FBI office in Linwood.
