Concrete that flows into rebar-congested forms under its own weight with no vibration and no segregation is the dream of every placing contractor. Today, most ready-mixed producers can provide that dream material —self-consolidating concrete (SCC).
In fact, the basic understanding of how to produce SCC has existed in North America for at least 10 years. Producers know that if they combine the proper amounts of coarse and fine aggregate with cementitious materials, fines or powder, water, and admixtures, the concrete will flow.
Design engineers also know that such a mix is easy to place, even with congested reinforcement and complex forms providing confidence in the structure's ultimate strength. Architects likewise realize that SCC mixes produce very high-quality concrete surfaces with a nearly polished appearance, with no bugholes or honeycombing.
Most importantly, the contractor favors SCC. The material is easy to pump, needs no consolidation, and eliminates the vibrators and the workers to handle the task. This also increases jobsite safety because workers need not be positioned atop the forms to consolidate the material.
"I could never keep a good vibrator operator," a contractor once told me, "because the job was usually assigned to the lowest ranking laborer. As soon as I trained him, he would find a new job."
With all these factors going for it, SCC would seem to be an obvious choice for any concrete going into formwork. So why is it still relatively rare in site-cast construction? One estimate puts the amount of SCC produced in the U.S. at only about 1% of total production, compared to as much as 10% in Europe.
One reason, besides the ingrained reluctance of contractors and designers to adopt anything new, is that simple standardized test methods for quality control did not exist for several years. But today, most engineers believe the slump flow test and the J-ring test have largely resolved this.
But even with these tests, one of the greatest barriers to acceptance has been the difficulty producers and inspecting engineers have had agreeing on the parameters for accepting SCC's flow consistency and robustness.
There are three primary characteristics of good SCC:
Flowability is measured using the slump flow test, now standardized as ASTM C 1611, "Slump Flow of Self-Consolidating Concrete." This is basically a standard slump test, although the slump cone is often inverted to make it easier to fill, and rather than measure the vertical slump, since the concrete spreads out to a thin layer, the testing technician measures the diameter of the resulting concrete patty. Typical SCC mixes have slump flows between 19 and 30 inches.

Considering the release date, can anyone estimate when the filming will start?
Considering the release date, can anyone estimate when the filming will start?
I Fight Giant Robots
My guess, about a year and half from now.
Michael Bay: Speed Demon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE1qfi_Avto
Michael Bay Tribute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJes7Etbkzw
All three TF movies had a similar release date, so the start of principle photography should be identical.
Previous star of filming:
TF - April 19
ROTF - June 2
DOTM - May 18
I'm guessing May 2013. But don't forget that pre-production should star a few months earlier. For example DOTM pre-production started October 1. So we might be only 8 months away from some serious TF4 news.
My wild guess would be Spring 2013.
Bay said in March 2013 it will begin. But it could change
Well at least it will give some time to hasbro/takara to develop some toys like "Q/wheeljack", "Dino/Mirage", Cerebros and lot more from T3 in cyberverse size... my collection feels incomplete
Yeah, when will Pain and Gain start filming??? :P
When i Transform i release rockets with nanobot-viruses that destroys you from within... the fuel inside you will turn into acid, metal will melt instantly...
I'm a decepticon and my name is _____ All Hail Megatron!
Any ideas on how far in advance filming dates are announced?

I have a Smith and Wesson 44 magnum revolver with a Leopold scope. I don't hunt with it much though. I can shoot better with my rifle so I tend to use that more often than the handgun option.
A couple years back I bought a desert egale chambered in .44 to take a bear with, but havn't had the opportunity to get one yet.
I was wondering if anyone hunts, or has hunted big game with a handgun? If so what's your choice handgun?
-NRA Life Member
I have a Smith and Wesson 44 magnum revolver with a Leopold scope. I don't hunt with it much though. I can shoot better with my rifle so I tend to use that more often than the handgun option.
I love hunting with handguns when I follow hounds. For bear my favorites were a Ruger Super RedHawk in 44 Mag and a Ruger BlackHawk in 45 Long Colt with open sights. For Lions I use a Ruger single six in 22 mag, and for coons and bobcats I use a Ruger Target II, semi auto, with a bull barrel in .22 long rifle. I also have a Ruger Super BlackHawk in 44 Mag with a 2x Leupold scope that shoots 1.5 inch three shot groups at 100 yards. I plan to use it on an Arizona Javelina HAM Hunt (Handgun, Archery, Muzzleloader).
It's legal to use a .22 for big game in Calif?
"Big game" means the following: deer (genus Odocoileus), elk (genus Cervus), pronghorn antelope (genus Antilocarpa), wild pig (feral pigs, European wild pigs and their hybrids (genus Sus), black bear (genus Ursus) and Nelson bighorn sheep (subspecies Ovis canadensis nelsoni) in the areas described in subsection 4902(b) of the Fish and Game
Pistols and revolvers using centerfire cartridges with softnose or expanding projectiles may be used to take deer, bear, and wild pigs.
(d) Pistols and revolvers with minimum barrel lengths of 4 inches, using centerfire cartridges with softnose or expanding projectiles may be used to take elk and bighorn sheep.
There is no maximum rifle caliber specified in Fish and Game regulations for taking coyotes and skunks (nongame mammals). Fish and Game regulations authorize nongame mammals to be taken in any manner (see section 475 in the Mammal Hunting Regulation booklet). This authorization includes firearms with no further description or restriction, except when hunting within the California condor range where lead ammunition is prohibited (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 475(f)).
I have a S&W 629 .44 magnum with an 8 3/8 inch barrel. I have a burris scope on top. I have taken several whitetails with it, the longest shot being about 90 yards. It certainly adds a challenge to a hunt.
I was referring to the mountain lion with a .22 mag that Bigshot posted?
I have a Ruger .30 carbine New Model Blackhawk and a Ruger 44 cal. The .30 is very interesting with a lot more range than the 44mag. I have hunted with the 44 mag with open sights. Maybe I will put a scope on the .30 carbine and use it for whitetail hunting from stands.

The enterprise mobility space is evolving quickly. Pressures are being exerted on IT departments to allow a myriad of mobile devices into the corporate campus and onto the intranet, while providing access to the data stores that are a company's life blood. There's a mad rush to the IT front door with requests, from all areas of the enterprise, including the sales force, field force, marketing related initiatives, and more. These demands present several challenges: What should we do about access, how quickly do we need to act, and most import, how do we minimize risk? How do we address the needs of every business unit to develop applications?
A Roadmap for Mobilizing Your Processes
Let's start at the beginning. The first step is to develop a plan for mobilizing your key business processes because the pressures of BYOD and APP development are only the tip of the iceberg! Previously, the customer conversation was related to mobilizing a "function" or a customer interaction; now it is about developing a strategy, a roadmap for key business processes that includes, but is not limited to, mobility.
In essence, today's "multi-channel strategy" includes all methods of access and requirements of key business processes. Mobility has gone from being a bolt-on to the existing strategy to being an integral component of the overall strategy for the company's success.
Informing Your Mobile Strategy – What Do Your Stakeholders Want?
Businesses are recognizing the importance of ensuring the seamless transition and integration of their customers, employees, and key suppliers from the fixed world to the mobile world and vice versa. They want a guarantee of:
- Ubiquitous connectivity
- Reliable infrastructure
- A full set of capabilities and functionality
- Secure layers of accessibility
- A customer care experience bar none
In my job, we have a commitment to refining our customer care experience, developing and expanding our service management capabilities, and leading the innovation curve through our TIP process and Foundry capabilities. This makes us well-positioned and prepared to help our customers meet the challenges of enterprise mobility.
Kicking Off Your Mobile Strategy
What action is your company taking to develop a mobile strategy? Here are 8 steps to help your business get started:
- Perform an assessment of what stage of development in the mobility revolution your company or business unit is in; Are you in the planning, prioritization, pilot, or full deployment? It is never too late to plan regardless of which stage you are in but the closer to deployment you are, the faster you will need to move!
- Seek out a trusted partner that understands your business, understands the mobile landscape and very important; will be there for the duration of the journey.
- Ensure that you clearly articulate your goals for the engagements; measures for success and at least a three-year plan / strategic direction with expected outcomes.
- Work in close partnership with your advisor, include key business units, and ensure that support is provided throughout the planning process.
- Develop a Mobility Governance Board as part of the strategy that will review all company wide M-Solutioning programs.
- Communicate internally the mobile strategy of your business and how important it is to the business, and ensure that everyone understands the path forward.
- Measure and celebrate the businesses successes in each stage of the journey.
- Adjust the plan with the needs of the business, the capabilities of the ecosystem, and the constant feedback from key business interfaces (customers, suppliers, and employees).

The pharmaceutical industry has its share of problems —patent expirations, pressures on margins, regulatory creep (or perhaps more accurately "regulatory pounce"), battered reputation, and the like. But behind them all is One Big Problem. It takes too long and costs too much to develop new products. And so the search is on, both at drug manufacturers and FDA, for insights that will shave time and costs from drug development. Progress is already being made. Average development time, by at least one report, is down slightly in recent years. And a recent study from the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development noted that the tier of top performers had shortened development time by about 20 percent in the past five years, while holding regulatory time steady.
Perhaps the boldest and most interesting model to emerge in the past few years is being put in place today at Wyeth, where a year-long program of research, discussion, and planning is culminating in radical change to the way the company carries out development, including:
» A complete reorganization of the R&D function that puts control of drugs—and therapeutic-area portfolios—in the hands of project teams» Aggressive cost-cutting initiatives that aim to save both money and time
» A shift away from traditional Phase I through III development and toward seamless use of adaptive trials
» Most important, a new approach to drug development, called Learn and Confirm, that Wyeth thinks will provide better data, improve late-phase success rates, and deepen insight into how drugs actually work in diverse patient populations.
Wacky Thinking
Wyeth's new approach to clinical research originally grew out of a broader, corporation-wide initiative called Springboard, which began a year and a half ago as a search for ways to be effective within a lower-cost structure. "Initially R&D wasn't even part of the thought process," explains Bruce Schneider, Wyeth Research's executive vice president and chief of operations. "But [Wyeth Research president] Bob Ruffolo volunteered that we should be challenging ourselves to see what we could do to do things more effectively in the future.
"Initially, cost was the emphasis, but as we got into it, we also talked about ways to radically change the way that we actually developed drugs to see if we could somehow collapse phases, eliminate phases, that sort of thing. We had a strategic perspective on the one hand and an operational perspective on the other. So we tried to hit both of those at the same time."
The R&D Springboard effort started with a half dozen participants who referred to themselves as the "wacky thinker" group. One of them was Charles Gombar, vice president for product management. "We really looked for people who were not going to give us the same old, 'This is how you do pharmaceutical development, dah-dah-dah,' but who could really think of different ways of doing things," he says. "We sat around and we asked a lot of fundamental questions. We were willing to question everything.

Tampa, Florida -- Several weeks after a jury convicted her, a federal judge ruled in agreement and found Cortnee Brantley guilty for her part in the deaths of two Tampa Police officers.
A jury originally found Brantley guilty back in January, but U.S. District Court Judge James Moody reserved his ruling, pending motions.
On Wednesday, Judge Moody formally adjudicated the jury's ruling, saying the verdict "by the thinnest of legal threads ... is supported by the evidence."
Brantley faces up to three years in prison.
Brantley's boyfriend, Dontae Morris, is charged with killing Officers
David Curtis and Jeffrey Kocab during a traffic stop in June 2010.
Morris was riding with Brantley, who was pulled over for not having a
license plate.
Prosecutors say she never alerted the officers that Morris was a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. She then fled the scene after the shooting.
Brantley's previous trial ended in a hung jury, and she was being
retried on a misprision charge.
Morris is in custody, awaiting trial on murder charges.

[UPDATE] Hamilton County, Florida - 9-08-2011 5:00 pm
25-Year-Old Melissa Westberry and her attorney stood before Judge Vernon Douglas and asked to have her pre-trial hearing continued.
In July, a Grand Jury charged her with aggravated manslaughter in her son's drowning.
Back in May, Hamilton County Deputies say six-month-old Jace drowned at the Alapaha River when he climbed out of his car seat and rolled in. The water was only five inches deep.
Westberry pleaded not guilty to those charges.
Jace's father and his family were in court, but out of respect, we didn't show them during their grieving process.
A trial date has not been set. Attorneys from both sides are still building their cases.
[UPDATE] Hamilton County, Florida - 8-23 5:52 pm
Memories are all that remain for Jace Shaw's great aunt Sarah Eadie. Eadie is the little boy's father's aunt.
"Jace was a very happy chubby little boy. He smiled all the time. He was one of the babies that never cried," said Eadie.
She remembers the playful baby who she tried to visit every other weekend. Eadie says knowing she won't see that smile again hurts.
"To us it was such a tragedy because it could've been avoided," said Eadie.
On May 21st, Hamilton County Sheriff's Office says the baby drowned here at the Alapaha river.
He was sitting unrestrained in a car seat near the river when, deputies say he got out and drowned.
Reports show the mother, Melissa Westberry had a .09 blood alcohol level at the time of the drowning.
"It would be like someone run over you in a parking lot," said Eadie. "It's the same. She was intoxicated."
Two months later a grand jury charged her with Aggravated Manslaughter.
"We have heard that perhaps there is a plea deal on the table but we would like to see Ms. Westberry prosecuted to the fullest extent," said Eadie.
WCTV reached out tot he state attorney's office, they say they can't confirm or deny whether there is a plea deal on the table.
Westberry is set to be arraigned September 8th.
[UPDATE] Hamilton County, Florida - 8-23 9:31 am
Hamilton County Sheriff's office says the charges will be formally brought before 25-year-old Melissa Westberry on September 8th.
Jace Shaw drowned in five to six inches of water.
Authorities say there was a time lapse between the time the baby drowned and when they were called.
Deputies say they found a pack of beer at the scene.
The State Attorney's office says there is no timetable on when the trial will start.
But they don't expect it to begin before next year.
[UPDATE] Hamilton County, Florida - 7-14 - 2:25pm -
Based on evidence found, the Grand Jury has charged 24-year-old Melissa Westberry with Aggravated Manslaughter charges. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office says she turned herself in at 8am.
The jury deliberated for an hour.
[UPDATE] Hamilton County, Florida - 7-13 - Noon -
A grand jury is hearing evidence in the drowning investigation of a Hamilton County six month old.
Today, we found out some of the things the Jury will be considering during this hearing. Deputies tell Eyewitness News that there was a pack of beer found at the scene, the baby drowned in five to six inches of water and there was a time lapse between when the baby drowned and when authorities were called.
(We first covered the incident in May.)
Hamilton County Sheriff's Office says just before five that day, Deputies received a call about an infant drowning in the Alapaha river.
Deputies say the child's mother, 24-year-old Melissa Westberry, had alcohol in her system at the time. All that evidence will be brought before the jury.
"What it does is put it in the hands of the people. In other words, we don't decide the charge we present it to the pool of grand jurors who hear the evidence and they make a decision," say Hamilton County Sheriff Harrell Reid.
We do know one investigator will be testifying. Sheriff Reid tells me he the State Attorney has received the mother's toxicology results and it will be presented at today's hearing.
Deputies tell me the toddler's mother was not in the courtroom today. They jury will have to decide based on the evidence if they will proceed with charges, but the court has 15 days before it can release the ruling.
[UPDATE] 7-01 3:50 pm
Hamilton County Sheriff Harrell Reid says he will know by next week when the evidence will be presented to the grand jury.
Deputies say on May 21st just before 5 pm, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office received a call about an infant drowning in the Alapaha river.
Authorities say they are still awaiting the toxicology results of the 24-year-old mother, Melissa Westberry.
The grand Jury will decide if the mother will face charges.
[UPDATE] 5-25 6:41 pm
Alisa Simpson says her heart broke when she heard an infant drowned at the Alapaha River.
But says she's disturbed after hearing the mother was drinking at the time of the incident.
"It's sad that it happened but it did and probably a major wake-up call you know for the parents," said Simpson.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office says Saturday just before 5 p.m. 6-month-old Jace Shaw drowned.
He was sitting unstrapped in a car seat when he got out and made his way to the river.
Deputies say they tried resuscitating the infant but he didn't make it.
Authorities say his mother, 24-year-old Melissa Westberry was at the river with friends.
They say alcohol was in her system and are awaiting test to see how much.
"We don't know if that was a contributing cause or not but certainly we're taking every precaution and want to find out exactly what happened," said Sheriff Harrell Reid.
Sheriff Reid says they do believe it was an accident but adds the State Attorney says pending results of the alcohol test they might have to bring the evidence before a grand jury.
[UPDATE] 5-25 2:45pm -
The baby's mother had alcohol in her system, but it is unknown if it was a contributing factor or how much alcohol she had consumed, says Hamilton County Sheriff Harrell Reid. It is known that the baby was in a car seat near the river and somehow got out.
Stay will WCTV as more details develop.
A 6-month old drowned over the weekend, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. The drowning took place on 4:47pm on May 21st near the Alapaha river near Jennings, Florida. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office is handling case. HCSO would not release the mother's name, but said that she is 24-years-old.
WCTV has a reporter at the scene. Stay with WCTV for updates.

Cherokee Theater Stages Williams Classic
(CHEROKEE) -- Cherokee Community Theater presents their production of "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams for a second week beginning Thursday.
Director Andrew Linn says that the show is an autobiographical story of Williams' life.
There are four characters in the show, three of them are members of the Wingfield family. Amanda, the mother, sister Laura, and brother Tom. Tennessee Williams, whose real name is Thomas, has inserted himself in this script as the brother. Although the play examines many personal struggles, Linn says the real tension in the show comes from the mothers character.
Finally, the fourth player is a gentleman caller, intended to become Laura's love interest. When the situation surrounding their re-acquaintance goes awry, Tom finds his motivation to leave.
In addition to directing, Linn is playing the role of Tom. He says working with this script and his talented cast has been very rewarding. He's excited to share the end result with the community.
"The Glass Menagerie" is being staged by the Cherokee Community Theater, in the upper level of the Cherokee Community Center. Performances continue Thursday, Friday and Saturday (April 21-23) at 7:30 all 3 nights. For reservations call 712-225-4440.

After shampooing, hair can be left dry, lifeless, and even brittle. This is because hair needs a certain level of natural oils on its shafts to keep them supple, hydrated and shiny. When shampoo strips off this layer of oil, hair can become damaged. Fortunately, Ojon Conditioners help rehydrate hair shafts and replace this layer of oil. Extracted from the nut of the American palm tree (Elaeis oleifera), ojon oil has the ability to penetrate the cuticle layer of cells that guard the hair shaft. Ojon Conditioners provide body to fine, limp hair, leaving it full, soft and shiny.
For centuries, the Tawira tribe of the Miskito Indians in Central America has used locally produced ojon oil as a hair treatment. In fact, the tribe's name can be translated as, "The People of the Beautiful Hair." Ojon Conditioners are based on this ojon oil, combined with other carefully selected natural botanical extracts, to bring the benefits to you. These ingredients are able to provide sun- and chemical-damaged hair with the moisture it requires to heal and once again become smooth and soft.
Shampooing hair cleanses it of the dust, dirt and other environmental contaminants. An unfortunate side-effect of shampooing, though, is the loss of oils necessary to keep hair soft and supple. Ojon Conditioners are carefully formulated to provide the botanical oils and extracts necessary to restore and revive hair. The traditionally produced ojon oil, combined with other important ingredients, penetrates the protective outer protective layer hair cells. There, the oils and natural extracts hydrate and nourish the inner structures of the hair, making it supple, full and shiny.
To provide a daily conditioner for your hair, try Ojon Volume Advance Volumizing Conditioner. It hydrates the hair structure, providing soft, shiny body. As an added benefit, the extract of the amaranth herb has traditionally been used as a remedy to minimize premature grey hair.
If you are plagued with frizzy or flyaway hair, particularly when you are trying to style it, Ojon Dry Recovery Revitalizing Moisture Mist can be of great help. Along with ojon oil, this non-aerosol mist contains blue agave, lemongrass and ginseng extracts to rehydrate your hair and make it more manageable. Simply spry it on and comb it in and see how it refreshes your hair while it improves the performance of other styling products.
A combination of buriti oil (from the Amazonian Ité palm tree) and murumuru butter (extracted from another plant in the Amazon rainforest) bolster the ojon oil in Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Conditioner. These ingredients form a concentrated balm that buffers your hair against damage and moisture loss.

Raymond Poudrier and Otto Wagner have a vision: to produce the definitive collection of high quality, user friendly dive maps of the most popular wrecks and underwater sites in the world accurate, waterproof and all in a standard format to fit logbooks and BCD pockets.
As co-owners of Montreal-based Art to Media, a computer graphics specialty firm, they knew a thing or two about the magic of creating images full of depth and height and width, which leap off the page or screen for the viewer.
"3D animation is our business. When we examined the market it became clear that we could make these maps more of a 'must have' item than just another 'nice to have' gadget." And it's safety, that gives the product this essential quality. The record shows most accidents result from anxiety that leads to panic. "Knowing where you are and where you're going makes wreck diving fun – or fearful if you don't. These maps make the difference. We started back in 2004, and launched the first set at the 2007 DEMA show.
The company also makes larger poster size reproductions of some of the most popular wrecks for use in charter boat and scuba shop dive briefings. With these larger maps, divers get an accurate picture of the dive to come and can, if they choose, plot the same course on their own pocket-sized map with a marker.
A new product line in the works for consumers is a collection of DVD animations of the wrecks mapped to date. Each will be about 30 seconds in duration and will cover an entire ship. Also available are some new interactive APP for IPHONE & IPAD .

LOUDON, N.H. (AP) -- Kasey Kahne has won his second Sprint Cup
race of the season by holding off Denny Hamlin at the New Hampshire
Motor Speedway.
Kahne took the lead from Hamlin during a restart on the 240th
lap of the 300-lap race at the one-mile oval Sunday. He was helped
by miscommunication between Hamlin, who wanted two tires changed,
and crew chief Darian Grubb, who thought he wanted four.
That longer pit stop left Hamlin in 13th place, but he kept
passing cars until only Kahne remained in front. But Kahne stayed
ahead and won by about 10 car lengths.
It was Kahne's 14th win of his career and first since May 27 at
Charlotte. Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Brad Keselowski
rounded out the top five.

Editor's Summary
The United Kingdoms Digital Curation Centre (DCC), established in 2004, is the countrys digital preservation and data management authority. From 2011 to mid-2013 the DCCs Institutional Engagement program provided support for digital preservation and data management to 20 universities. The initiative was stimulated by the realization that research data leads to broader advances when shared, as well as by pressure from funders to implement formal data management practices. Experience with the first cohort of universities revealed differences in readiness for data management, the importance of a local champion and support staff and the need for dedicated funding. Unfamiliar but necessary working relationships emerged, as did the need to align institution requirements with funder priorities. Common challenges were planning for effective data management, data storage and training for researchers and staff. The DCC will apply the lessons learned with the first cohort to other higher educational institutions, adjusting its approach to serve each universitys specific needs while promoting the shared purpose.

The DCCs Institutional Engagements: Raising Research Data Management Capacity in UK Higher Education
by Martin Donnelly
The Digital Curation Centre (DCC) is a United Kingdom-supported service and center of excellence for digital preservation and data management founded in 2004. This article gives an overview of the DCC's Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) funded institutional engagement program (2011-2013), wherein we worked intensively with over 20 UK higher education institutions (HEIs) to identify, describe and raise levels of awareness and capability in institutional research data management. The set of engagements involved HEIs from all constituent countries of the United Kingdom and covered a range of institutional types, from ancient, research-intensive universities to newer universities seeking to raise their research profiles to specialist institutions with a focus in particular subject areas such as economics or art.
The Institutional Engagement Program: An Overview
Between Spring 2011 and Summer 2013, the DCC undertook a significant outreach program designed to assist a cohort of individual universities in the development of their research data management capabilities. Funded by the HEFCEs Universities Modernization Fund, in sympathy with the DCCs core funding from Jisc, this became known as the Institutional Engagement (IE) Programme.
This work shared as its bedrock the view subsequently expressed in the Royal Societys Science as an Open Enterprise report ([1], p.8) that a shift away from a research culture in which data is viewed as a private preserve is essential to achieving improvements in the exploitation of research. Such cultural change requires the involvement and collaboration of numerous stakeholder groups and the joining together of what could be thought of as work silos. The work does not stop at the gates of the university, though: research funders, charities, government agencies and learned societies are all also involved.
A number of factors influenced this work, including the increase in data-related requirements and expectations of research funders, publishers and the government. At the highest level, the UK government, via a white paper published in December 2011, has exerted increased pressure on their seven public funding councils to implement and enforce the data management policies and expectations that are currently in place.
Over and above this white paper, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) the largest of the research councils in terms of monies disbursed has informed all research institutions that they are each expected to prepare a data management roadmap by May 2012 and to have a functioning research data infrastructure in place by May 2015, galvanizing many senior managers, researchers and research support staff to take prompt action.
Other funders, notably the Medical Research Council and Economic and Social Research Council, have tightened up their existing regulations, and carried out quality checking exercises on the data management plans received at the application stage [2]. All of these developments point at a trend towards increasing regulation and requirements and expectations of higher quality data management.
The First IE Program
Cohort. At the very beginning of the program, we were able to help the limited number of universities that were interested in participating and met the basic criteria for the program, but as word got around demand to participate increased, and by the mid-point we had a waiting list of institutions keen to work with us. These institutions are now being contacted with a view to taking part in a follow-up program beginning in Summer 2013.
The first cohort comprised a variety of institutions, ranging from ancient, research-intensive universities such as Glasgow and Edinburgh to newer (post-1992) universities with smaller research portfolios to specialist institutions such as the London School of Economics and the University of the Arts London. We sought to work with at least one institution from each of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We initially calculated that the available funding would enable 18 full engagements, with an allocation of 60 days of DCC effort provided free for each, drawn from a mixture of staff based at each of the three DCC sites: Edinburgh, Bath and Glasgow. In practice, however, given the pace of the individual engagements, which in some cases were becoming extended over a lengthy period, we were able to extend this assistance to a few more institutions based on their particular circumstances.
Process. Each engagement was tailored to meet the specific needs of the institution in question, with the DCC providing in-depth and concentrated support to a community of institutions already known to be underprepared, in general, to face the growing challenge of research data management.
Following initial contact and agreement from a senior champion, the DCC and the institution agreed on the key contact people to manage the process from both sides. In most cases, task forces or working groups were assembled, and in some instances a cycle of business process redesign was put in motion. Three key perspectives were encompassed: that of the research practitioners themselves; support staff from research offices, libraries and IT departments; and the senior managers with their hands on the purse strings. (This situation was reminiscent of Cornells three-legged stool model, wherein technology, resources and organization need to be roughly equal in order to keep the chair upright
Figure 1. Developing institutional infrastructure
It quickly became apparent that the engagements needed authority, clarity and drive if they were to be successful. Without the ongoing backing of a senior figure, research support staff struggled to motivate or engage researchers. Without dedicated resourcing, this work often took a backseat to other pressing concerns, not least of which was the Research Excellence Framework exercise, the semi-regular mechanism by which the UK government determines how much funding to provide to each university.
Figure 2. IE teams
This multi-stakeholder endeavor led to the creation of often unfamiliar collaborations and assemblages, as central services became responsible for issues that had previously been completely left to the researchers to handle, and, similarly, researchers became obliged to work more closely with administrative departments that they had been more accustomed to keeping at arms length.
Activities Undertaken. When developing work plans for each engagement, we sought to focus on desirability, achievability and sustainability. We found that early-stage funder analysis was useful, determining which funders were most important to the institution in question both now and in the strategic future and identifying the requirements that the institution would have to meet in order to safeguard this income stream.
The approaches taken to developing these new, data-centric competencies covered a range of contexts, aims, methodologies and processes. Work involved in the engagements ranged from developing research data management roadmaps and policies to identifying training and support needs to trialling and customizing tools such as DMPonline, the Data Asset Framework (DAF) and CARDIO to integrate within the existing technical infrastructures.
Figure 3. IE activities
Each of the work programs was different, but we found that three issues predominated: planning, storage and training. Six of the seven state-owned Research Councils-UK (RCUK) funders require data management plans (or an equivalent) at the application stage, and one, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), requires two versions: a minimal plan at application and a jointly-agreed upon plan once funding is granted. The DCCs DMPonline data management planning tool was therefore popular with the institutions, enabling the creation of tailored and branded versions that incorporated boilerplate responses, if desired, with institutional plan templates, as well as helpful links to local web pages, training materials, support contacts.
On the storage side, universities frequently came up against the problem of providing sufficient capacity for research data, while also competing with commercial offerings such as Microsoft Skydrive, as well as tools to enable sharing with collaborators such as Dropbox. Universities also struggled to provide advice on the selection of storage options such as onsite repository, national services or cloud services and advice on how to integrate relevant storage-focused initiatives, such as the Jisc-funded DataStage and DataShare projects.
Figure 4. Imperatives of guidance and training
The first of the EPSRC data-related expectations, which underpins any working data infrastructure, is an appropriate level of awareness and accompanying training resources, so that colleagues know what is expected of them. It is often said that it is neither necessary nor desirable for every researcher to become an expert in all aspects of research data management, but rather they need a decent grounding in basic principles (such as keeping a regular backup of anything significant and making sure it is not held in the same building as the master copy) and to be comfortable in seeking advice or help from the colleagues best placed to provide it. These are largely human infrastructure issues, and frequent communication is necessary to ensure they stay afloat in peoples minds.
Lessons Learned. At the time of writing (June 2013) we are finishing off the few engagements from the first cohort and beginning the next batch. The lessons and examples of the first cohort will be shared with the community via a synthesis report that is currently in preparation, and details will be available via www.dcc.ac.uk/community/institutional-engagements soon.
The chief interim observations are:
- Universities are generally in the early stages of scoping research data management (RDM) needs and obtaining benchmarks.
- Few have the effective components for RDM services or infrastructure in place at the moment.
- Management tend to be more concerned with meeting funder expectations than with a desire for sustainable infrastructure.
- There is confusion over the sequence for producing strategies, plans and policies.
- The gulf between early adopters and late entrants is widening.
The Future for These Engagements
With around 140 higher educational institutions in the United Kingdom and only a little over 20 involved in the first cohort, there is, of course, much work still to be done and more demand than the DCC can currently meet. We have, therefore, realigned our program to reflect the widening spectrum of need, offering specific curation techniques to enable infrastructure development, together with sociotechnical support, from advocacy to skills reengineering to organizational repositioning.
DCC staff will continue to be engaged as expert hands-on consultants delivering specific tasks, but the one-size-fits-all approach of 60 days has been done away with; instead, universities will make requests for specific, defined work packages which will be agreed upon by the DCC and a senior member of the university. Upon satisfactory completion of one piece of work, we can move on to another at the same institution, provided it offers a clear benefit to the institution or the wider research community.
Finally, HEIs will be required to demonstrate commitment to maintain the engagements, and if progress is not being made we have more frequent stop-go points to enable us to provide support where it is most needed and will be most valuable.

Des Moines, IA (Sports Network) - Russ Cochran shot 5-under 67 on Sunday and
secured a 1-stroke win over Jay Don Blake at the Principal Charity Classic.
Cochran, who fought through wrist and rib injuries in 2012, finished 54
holes at 11-under-par 205 for his fourth Champions Tour victory and first
since the 2011 Senior Open.
Blake, playing in the final group, was tied for the lead with Cochran before
3-putting for bogey at Wakonda Club's par-3 17th. He had a chance to force a
playoff at the last but settled for a solo second finish and a final-round 69
when his birdie attempt missed wide right.
Duffy Waldorf was seeking his first Champions Tour victory in just his 13th
start, but he couldn't maintain his 1-stroke overnight advantage and ended in
a tie for third place at 9-under after a final-round 71. Mark Calcavecchia
(67) and Kirk Triplett (67) also finished at minus-9.
Cochran began the final round two shots off Waldorf's pace but the lefty
quickly jumped ahead with three birdies in his first five holes,
Waldorf, meanwhile, was even with a birdie and a bogey through his first six
before reclaiming a share of the top spot courtesy of a gain at the par-4
seventh. But the overnight leader couldn't maintain the pace, ending the
tournament with 11 straight pars as Blake rose to contention.
Recovering from bogeys on Nos. 1 and 3, Blake unfurled a blistering run from
the fourth, notching six birdies over his next nine holes. When the dust
settled, Blake shared the lead with Cochran, who was wrapping up a birdie at
the par-5 13th.
Blake missed a 2-footer for a birdie and the lead at No. 13, and Cochran,
playing a group ahead, capitalized with a birdie at the 15th for a 1-stroke
Cochran promptly gave the lead away when he missed a 4-foot par putt at the
16th, but Blake bailed him out at the 174-yard 17th when he left his tee shot

Pebble Beach, CA (Sports Network) - Brandt Snedeker carded a 4-under 68 on
Friday to join Ted Potter, Jr. in the lead after two rounds of the Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am.
Potter carded his second straight 67, this one a 3-under round on the par-70
Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club. Snedeker played his second
round at the par-72 Spyglass Hills, while the remainder of the field was at
Pebble Beach Golf Links, which is also a par-72 course.
The players rotate over the three courses for the first three rounds, while
being paired with amateurs. The final round on Sunday will be played at Pebble
Snedeker, who finished second the last two weeks, and Potter ended two rounds
at 8-under-par 134.
Hunter Mahan, who shared the first-round lead with Russell Knox, carded a 1-
under 69 at Monterey to slip into a share of third at minus-7. He was joined
there by Fredrik Jacobson (66 at Pebble), John Merrick (67 at Monterey) and
Patrick Reed (69 at Pebble).
Jason Day (68) and Patrick Cantlay (70) both played Spyglass on Friday and
completed two rounds at minus-6. They stand alongside Nick O'Hern (66) and
James Hahn (65), who both played Monterey on Friday.
Knox tripped to a 1-over 73 at Spyglass to finish two rounds at minus-5, where
he was joined in 11th place by five others.

Does anyone use this scope and what are your feelings about it? How well does it stand up to the fields conditions that you typically put a scope through?
Does anyone use this scope and what are your feelings about it? How well does it stand up to the fields conditions that you typically put a scope through?
I haven't tried one of those, but I own several Burris optics. The two rifle scopes I have I bought when they were still made in the US. They are great scopes. I busted a collector lens in the Black Diamond about a year ago and sent it back for repair. After getting it back it doesn't gather light as well as it used to.
I have a pair of binoculars and a spotting scope that are made in China versions. They aren't the top of the line Burris, but the quality still isn't as good as when they were made here. After using those I've bought my last Burris products unless they move production back to the US.
Seems like an interesting idea but I've read several bad reviews on it. What turns me off is the fact that it only ranges out to like 400 or 500 yards.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
From what I have read and seen it is a scope I would not consider. It seems somewhat limiting and that is not what I want in a scope.
I would prefer to have a rangefinder separate from my scope. But that's just me.
I'm not sold on the idea. My favorite was watching a nameless hunting show where the guide/host told the audience that his hunter couldn't make a shot because he didn't have the new Burris Eliminator scope. That was all I needed to hear to delete the show from my DVR.
I haven't heard good things about it as well.

Comments about ... Multicolored Honeycomb Tissue Ball (each):
These were fun and easy to assemble, bu I thought they would have come with twine to hang them with or at least let it be known in description. Ended up tacking them to ceiling so not nearly as cool as having them dangle.

Cat Network, Inc.
Rating: 4.92 stars 109 109 reviews 9,704
PO Box 347228 Miami FL 33234 USA
The Cat Network is a grass-roots organization with over 2500 volunteer and donor members. Its members have trapped,sterilized and vaccinated against rabies over 51,000 stray and abandoned cats since its inception in December, 1995. It is our mission to make everyone aware of this huge community problem and to be proactive in fighting it by spaying and neutering pets and strays, alike. We encourage the public to adopt stray and abandoned cats as indoor-only pets and practice responsible ownership. We also mediate with planned communities and multi-family developments to enact TNR (trap/neuter/release) efforts rather than extermination of stray cats on their properties. Through combined efforts with other local animal agencies we are working to make South Florida a No-Kill community. We also cooperate with and assist other local governmental agencies in animal hoarder situations.
Our members have trapped and sterilized over 51,000 stray and abandoned cats and have adopted out over 7,000 cats since our inception in December of 1995.
Target demographics:
Stray and feral cats.
Geographic areas served:
South Florida
The Cat Network maintains several programs to provide a better life for stray and abandoned cats. Our Spay/Neuter Program is supported by over 40 local area veterinary clinics, and provides low cost sterilization and vaccination. Our Adoption Referral Program provides a much needed outlet for adopting stray and abandoned cats. Our Special Needs Program financially assists members seeking medical attention for injured and ill cats that they have rescued.

I've been a member for four years now and have benefited greatly from Cat Network, inc. From deals on cat supplies to helpful hints dealing with all aspects of cat care, they have always been most helpful.

Awesome service ! I've had as many as 20 cats and abandoned kittens spayed or neutered using the Meow Mobile or the low cost certificates. This is an absolute Godsend ! I will continue to use and recommend to everyone , I can't thank them enough for their help

Continue with the good work that you have placed in the hearts of so many innocent animals. Saving lives and finding homes for them in the same light are a blessings on their own.

First, my own cat, MaddieCat was adopted from this organization. She was one of 3 black feral kittens that a member rescued and fostered till they all had homes.
Second, because they have (pressured and) partnered with Miami Dade Animal Services, they were able to convince the county commissioners to change it to a no kill shelter and which now offers FREE spaying and neutering of stray feral cats. They now support TNR efforts.
I used this service myself this January 2015. I trapped and fixed 6 neighborhood cats that I sometimes feed. I borrowed a drop trap and regular trap from the CatNetwork to take them to Animal Services. Thank Goodness for this organization for helping cats.

The CATNETWORK has worked to reduce the feral cat population with TNR. they have rescued and found homes for thousand of the abandon cats left at our Animal Services (the pound), shopping centers, empty lots etc. I love the idea of the MEOW MOBILE. It is a specially outfitted van that is a clinic. This enables them to go into many different neighborhoods to provide the low cost spay/neuter services, where vet service may not be in existance. Additonally, the weekend shows which they bring cats to be adopted helped me to adopt my current black cat.Both the Animal Shelter and Our local no kill shelter are both in the north end of our county only.We are in pet food stores on Miami Beach, and the western and southern areas or our large county.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
by adopting a cat from one of their shows.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
meeting other caring cat lovers.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
knowledgeable about cat matters such as health, behavior and working within our local laws.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
buy another Meow Mobile and purchase air time on radio shows or newspaper ads geared to the local neighborhoods.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every month

One day I noticed a couple kittens near my work. I followed them and found out there were many strays living behind the buildings. Each week I trapped a few and took them to get spayed and neutered. As a Cat Network member I was able to use the mobile unit or a participating vet with the certificate. Without this organization there is no way I could have spayed/neutered the number of I did. Thank You Cat Network...

Without The Cat Network, Miami Dade County residents would not have the opportunity to help stray and feral cats like they do due to this organization. This organization helps residents with low cost spay and neuter. Without them, I could never have afforded to help as many innocent lives as I have done. THANK YOU Cat Network.

Cat Network is a great organization helping cats by educating people on TNR, low cost spaying and neutering, etc.
My Dad has neutered and spayed many cats that are constantly dumped at his home by people. He is retired and a low income elderly man so Cat Network has been a blessing for him and the many cats he helps.
1 person found this review helpful
I am a member of The Cat Network and have read and witnessed the great that this group does for the cats in the community. They work tirelessly to TNR the cats in the greater Miami-Dade area and to educate the public on the benefits of TNR not to mention the fostering and adoption program that they continue to work on. I see all of the volunteering and work they put into the adoption weekends at my local Petsmart and the difference they make for our feline friends looking for a permanent home.
