Student characteristics and self-concept of secondary career and technical education students in a north central Texas region
Date: May 2010
Creator: Cox, Nancy Lynne
Description: Self-concept, discussed as a scholarly topic since the time of Socrates and Plato, is an important theoretical construct in education because self-concept is considered to be a desirable trait and a facilitator of positive future behavior. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the characteristics of students enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) programs and students' self-concept scores as measured by specific subscales from the Self-Description Questionnaire (SDQ). A total of 196 male and 89 female secondary students (Grades 9-12) enrolled in arts, audio/video technology and communications cluster courses in North Central Texas school districts participated in the study. Student characteristic variables of interest were age, gender, CTE program enrollment, and participation in CTE. The self-concept subscales analyzed were General, Academic, Verbal, Math, and Problem Solving. A canonical correlation analysis was conducted using the four student characteristic variables as predictors of the five self-concept variables to evaluate the multivariate shared relationship between the two variable sets. The full model across all functions explained about 23% of the variance between the variable sets. Function 1 explained 15% of the shared variance and Function 2 explained 7% of the variance that remained. This study detected a relationship ...

Metro Environmental: The impact of training HVAC technicians using the SightPros-VirTechs system for remote, wireless, Internet video assistance.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Daily, Ellen Wilmoth Matthews
Description: This qualitative study explored the overall impact of training HVAC technicians using the SightPros-VirTechs system for remote, wireless, internet video assistance at a small HVAC company, Metro Environmental. John Thomason, the president/co-owner developed a website and a new SightPros communication tool that allows wireless, one-on-one, just-in-time, high-quality, video-monitored instructions between an expert at one site and a technician at another site. Metro Environmental successfully used the SightPros-VirTechs system to train a new apprentice remotely. The apprentice and expert changed their normal and routine physical activities because the expert worked remotely and the apprentice worked on-site. Within just a few months, the apprentice proved competent enough to go to customer accounts without more experienced technicians nearby. The technicians express excitement about the SightPros communication tool as a way to contact remote experts whenever needed. The customer and business contacts also give good reviews and suggest other benefits. The expert permanently captures the communications so the company can use the saved video for many applications, especially training. The dissertation provides a list of recommendations to trainers/educators for similar applications.

Measuring Culture of Innovation: A Validation Study of the Innovation Quotient Instrument
Date: December 2015
Creator: Danks, Shelby
Description: The ability for an organization to innovate has become one of the most important capabilities needed in the new knowledge economy. The research has demonstrated that an organization's culture of innovation in particular predicts organizational innovativeness across multiple industries. To provide support to these organizations in their abilities to understand the culture of innovation, researchers have developed instruments to measure culture of innovation, and while many of these instruments have been widely used to inform organizational opportunities for improvement, few of these instruments have been validated or replicated beyond their initial use. The current study employs multiple factor analytic methods to validate the factor structure of the Innovation Quotient instrument developed by Rao and Weintraub and assess the extent to which the instrument is reliable for multiple organizational groups. The results of this study, as well as implications for researchers interested in culture of innovation, are presented.

A Construct Validity Analysis of the Work Perceptions Profile Data
Date: May 2015
Creator: Frear, Susan W.
Description: As work environments become more complex and demanding, organizations are becoming more interested in measuring the impact of their human resource development programs and initiatives. With this increased attention on data and measurement, human resource professionals have been encouraged to utilize data collection and data analysis techniques to make more objective and rationale human capital decisions and to verify business impact. As a result, the human resource profession has seen a significant increase in the use of surveys to measure anything from training effectiveness to the efficacy of recruitment procedures. The increase in the use of survey instruments requires that more focused attention is placed on the reliability and validity of data from any instrument used to make important human resource and business decisions. One instrument that is currently being used to measure career plateaus and job fit is the Work Perceptions Profile. The purpose of this research study was to conduct a construct validity analysis of the Work Perceptions Profile data and to determine the factor structure of data from its items. The data in this analysis supported a two-factor model structure with the first factor measuring Work Characteristics and a second factor measuring Performance. The results of this ...

An investigation of prior learning assessment processes in Texas public universities offering nontraditional baccalaureate degrees.
Date: May 2006
Creator: Freed, Rusty
Description: Undergraduate enrollment in colleges and universities has grown and changed drastically over the past 2 decades, with a significant portion of this growth coming from the increased number of nontraditional students who have made the decision to make their way onto college and university campuses to pursue a college degree. Due to these changes, many institutions of higher education have had to rethink the way they have historically operated. In an attempt to better meet the needs and demands of adult nontraditional students, colleges and universities have reviewed their existing programs and instituted programs that allow for the awarding of academic credit for prior learning. For those institutions of higher education involved in the prior learning assessment (PLA) process and interested in providing a quality program, an increased emphasis and focus should be on the importance of determining what a learning activity is, and more importantly, what constitutes college-level learning. This study focused on the identification and profiling of prior learning assessment (PLA) processes in Texas public universities offering nontraditional baccalaureate degree programs, the identification of commonalties among such programs, and the determination of program quality based on established standards. The instrument utilized in this study was designed on Urban ...

The Behavioral Changes that can be Realized when Leaders are Exposed to the Theories and Metaphors Found in Quantum Physics.
Date: August 2009
Creator: Godfrey, David Wayne
Description: Many are beginning to see the promise that the quantum world has offered those who manage and lead organizations (Wheatley, 1992; Zohar, 1997). The Newtonian world is one in which all "things" are reduced to their smallest parts, separated, divided, and analyzed with predictability, with complete control being the ultimate goal. The quantum world is one of infinite possibilities, infinite fields of influence, and infinite relationships. The hallmark characteristics found in a manager who has been schooled in the quantum sciences are flexibility, responsiveness, synchronicity, serendipity, creativity, innovation, participation, and motivation. In a quantum organization there is the constant awareness of the whole system, but there is also diversity (wave or particle), which allows for self-organization that is based on the environment and its requirements. In the quantum world many paths lead from A to Z, and depending on the path chosen, numerous realities wait to unfold. It was the goal of this research to explore the changing of leader behaviors through exposure to the models and theories found in quantum physics. From a quantum perspective this behavior change is possible; the only question is the readiness, willingness, and ability of the leaders to allow their behaviors to be surfaced ...

Faculty training and professional development programs designed to impact Web-based instruction in higher education: A faculty perspective.
Date: May 2007
Creator: Greenwood, Joey
Description: Web-based instruction has fast become a common component of higher education. Although such instruction began as a supplemental form of interaction, it has now become a basic aspect of many college courses and degree programs. If teacher and student are not in the same place at the same time, it becomes necessary to introduce a communications medium that will not only deliver information but also provide a channel of interaction between them. This study focused on faculty training and development programs designed to impact Web-based instruction in higher education at the five largest state-funded universities in Texas within a college of education. The instrument used in this study was developed by the research to collect data relating to faculty perception of training and development opportunities available to them at their institutions, perceptions of administrative support, and technical support. The objective was to determine if there was a relationship between these items listed above and faculty members' levels of confidence and perceptions of effectiveness when teach Web-based courses. The population consisted on 151 faculty members at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, the University of Houston, the University of North Texas, and Texas Tech University.

Influence of pre and post testing on return on investment calculations in training and development.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Hiraoka, Calvin H.
Description: When expenses become an issue, training is often one of the first budget items to be cut. There have been a number of evaluation studies about rates of return from training interventions. Most results are based on interviewing participants about the value of the intervention and its effect on their productivity. This often results in quadruple digit return on investment indications. Decision makers who control the budget often view these kinds of results with skepticism. This study proposes a methodology to evaluate training interventions without asking participants their opinions. The process involves measuring learning through a series of pre-tests and post-tests and determining if scores on pre-tests can be used as predictors of future return on investment results. The study evaluates a series of return on investment scores using analysis of variance to determine the relationship between pre-tests and final return on investment results for each participant. Data is also collected and evaluated to determine if the financial results of the organization during the period of the training intervention could be correlated to the results of the training intervention. The results of the study suggest that the proposed methodology can be used to predict future return on investment from training ...

Measuring the Effectiveness of Transfer of Learning Constructs and Intent to Transfer in a Simulation-based Leadership Training Program
Date: May 2013
Creator: Hix, Joanne W.
Description: The purpose of business training programs is to improve performance, which improved performance changes leadership behaviors based on the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) learned in training. One of the most common criticisms of leadership training is the tendency to focus on teaching theory but not on applying theory into practice, that is, transfer of learning. Research usually ends at the point of identifying, describing, or measuring factors that influence transfer. Ongoing research must identify what constructs in the transfer of learning process should be effectively changed or managed. There is a gap in research on the degree to which performance improvement through KSAs learned in a simulation training program actually transfer to the work environment. Additional research is needed that examines the relationship between transfer of learning and intent to transfer, which are critical outcomes in the field of human resource management and development. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between intent to transfer and four constructs in the transfer of learning process during a simulation-based leadership training program. Participants completed self-report assessments that measured the relationships between intent to transfer and four constructs: ability, motivation, work environment, and learner readiness. A correlational design was ...

A study of the relationship between work experience and occupational work ethic characteristics of baccalaureate nursing students.
Date: May 2006
Creator: Kegans, Loyd
Description: The primary purpose of this study was to test the theory of experiential learning by measuring to what extent work experience predicts the work ethic characteristics of students in baccalaureate nursing programs at three regional universities in Texas, including Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Tarleton State University in Stephenville, and West Texas A&M University in Canyon. Work experience is the amount full-time or part-time on-the-job experience. Work ethic attributes are referred to as considerate, ambitious, dependable, and cooperative. Results generated in this study failed to reject the null hypotheses, which means that work experience, does not provide evidence of the ability to predict the development of work ethic characteristics in baccalaureate nursing students who participated in this research study. Knowledge generated in this study provided alternative directions for future research with respect to the relationship between work experiences and work ethic characteristics in nursing students. Such research may be useful to nursing educators and trainers in the design and delivery phases of the educational process for nurses.

Car fire spreads to Sandy home
Pat Reavy, Deseret News
SANDY — A man working on a car engine inside a garage accidentally started a fire Friday.
A man was working on the engine of a Ford Expedition in his friend's garage, 8475 S. 964 East, when something caught fire about 2:30 p.m.
"He said he had started the engine, checked the battery to see if it was working. The fuel injector, the fuel shot out and started a spark and that's what started it, from what he was saying," said Doug Nelson, who lives a few houses away.
The fire quickly spread to the garage and into the two bedrooms located directly above it, said Sandy deputy fire chief Bruce Cline. Fire crews were able to make a fast attack, however, and prevent the flames from spreading any farther.
The vehicle was a complete loss and the garage suffered heavy fire damage. The entire home suffered some smoke damage, he said. Other items stored in the garage, such as oil and paint, fueled the fire.
"Really it's best to store those things in an out-building," he cautioned all residents.
No one was injured in the incident. Cline said the residents would not be able to stay at their home at least tonight.
"For a sleepy little Sandy neighborhood it's quite a bit of activity. It will pull all the neighbors together, and all of that fun stuff. It's kind of a sad tragedy to be able to pull the neighbors together. It just reminds you to watch all the flammable things in your garage," Nelson said.

BJP welcomes govt stand on CTBT, NPT
New Delhi: In the wake of US President Barack

NPT, BJP on Friday welcomed the government`s firm stand against
"BJP is of the clear view that India should not sign the
CTBT or NPT under any circumstances. We have, on our own,
imposed voluntary moratorium and no-first-use policy on
ourselves," BJP President Rajnath Singh said.
Singh said, "We welcome the stand (of not signing the two
treaties) taken by the Indian government in the United
Nations. We are in full support (of the government) on the
When NDA was in power, it had conducted Pokharan-II
nuclear tests in 1998, making India nuclear-capable. Though
the tests had led to severe economic sanctions against India,
the government did not bow to international pressure and
refused to sign the CTBT or the NPT.
BJP has maintained that it favours good relations with the
US but "only on our own terms". BJP had opposed the Indo-US
civilian nuclear deal last year, arguing that it was against
India`s interest.

Somebody has to accredit law schools, and that job has long fallen to the American Bar Association. It makes sense, on the one hand, to put the job in the hands of an organization that was once the guardian of professional competency. It doesn't make sense, on the other hand, to leave something as important as accrediting the humongous business of law schools to an organization held captive by the nice folks whose paycheck is signed by the schools they're judging.
And for a long time, nobody gave it a second thought. They are now.
The National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) soon will pass its decision back to the U.S. Department of Education, which last week recommendedshutting down ACICS and will have 90 days to decide the accreditor's fate. An appeal by the accreditor and lawsuits could follow.
Most notably, the panel on Wednesday rebuked the American Bar Association, in part for its lack of attention to student achievement.
Ah yes, students. The poor schmucks who are tolerated because they take out the loans to hand over to the schools, which in turn uses the loot to pay law profs to write law review articles that no one reads. Seems legit. Continue reading

Area poet Timothy Pettet finds more than BBQ at Linwood fundraiser
Poet Timothy Pettet, Kansas City, Missouri, is drawn to the prairie, small towns (think Cottonwood Falls and Linwood, Ks), their cemeteries and their history.
Pettet, who is in the process of finalizing an Opera entitled Mona and Zero, made his way to a cemetery outside Linwood today to research the Chance family. By a differing means of chance, Pettet met Stuart Sweeney (Union Pacific car inspector), who has information about the approximately 30 members of the Chance family Pettet is interested in.
Pettet, who made his way into Linwood with the intent to research the lone cemetery, that sits atop a cottonwood treed shaded hilltop, at The Linwood Library, was directed to one of the town's yearly fund raising events hosted by The Lion's Club when he asked a member from the Sheriff's department to direct him to a restaurant.
Wes Knight (stonemason) invited Pettet towards a cooker of pulled pork, homemade potato salad and a selection of desserts even though the fundraiser doesn't start for several hours (it is open from 3 -7 pm Saturday evening - donations accepted).
Knight, Sweeney (sons Jacob and Andrew) and fellow BBQer Phil Rosewicz (Civil Engineer Amy Core), all of Linwood, spoke about a shelter, prescription eye wear and other uses the money from the Lion's Club fundraiser has provided the Linwood community since the mid 1950's when now deceased charter member Casey Jones helped set up tents along the road in which chickens were smoked..
These days, the smokers are filled with pork and chicken and club members remain downtown with their specialty smokers.
Pettet left Linwood with an affirmation of why he is attracted to the prairie and small town comraderie.
Pettet will be reading poem 'Switching Way Back' and discussing additional projects on KLWN live from The Runaway Pony Sunday, July 29th, between 8:30 and 9:30 am.

My wife and I will be in Romania towards the end of October. We are planning on renting a car and have three days to travel around southern Transylvania. We are having a hard time deciding which towns to visit. We have found a hotel we like in Brasov and are planning to use that as our base. We are not sure if we have time to go to both Sibiu and Sighisoara. I'm wondering if we have to pick one which should we go with, or are both a must see? Also any other suggestions on places to visit would be great.

With a car you can certainly visit both Sibiu and Sighisoara in three days from your base (Sighisoara is just a 2 hours drive from Brasov, Sibiu 2 1/2 hours).
Report Abuse
The core of Sighisoara is pre-Baroque while Sibiu is Baroque in architecture. I think that Sighisoara is more centrally located if one wants to visit the fortified churches in the area. But I preferred Sibiu as a town. You may want to take a look at my trip report (click on my name to find it).

Dear Friends,
It is Simon and Garfunkel whose 'sound of silence' will be remembered by so many, and writing this on Tuesday, the sound of silence for two minutes in Soho on Monday night in the echo of Orlando gun shots, reported on the news, is perhaps uppermost in our minds. May those who have died rest in the peace of the God who crafted them so lovingly and made them who they were, and may he lovingly gather up the brokenness of the lives of loved ones shattered by the violence.

Top 10 2011 high school playoff games
Scott G. Winterton, Deseret News
Highland's march to the 4A state championship nearly ended a day early when Colton Colledge's 3-pointer at the buzzer bounced off the front of the rim. This semifinal was very well played from the opening whistle, as both teams executed very well the entire game each shooting above 47 percent. The teams traded baskets, and the lead, throughout the fourth quarter, but the Rams hit just a few more big shots down the stretch to eke out the win.

First, I think that the Rich vs. Monticello game at the 1A tournament should be
#1. How can any other game stand up to a buzzer beater at the end of
regulation, one at the end of the first OT, and yet another at the end of the
second OT? Not to mention the game winning shot was from very long range--at
least 25 feet or more.
Second, i think that the Bryce Valley vs. Duchesne game deserved to make at least honorable mention from the 1A tournament. This game was won on the first day by Bryce Valley 55-53 in double OT, spoiling a great upset bid by the Duchesne Eagles.

It's unprecedented! Nine black teen girls and one boy are charged with a racially motivated hate crime against whites in Long Beach, California. The Long Beach hate crimes trial of the girls has barely drawn a squint of national news, and only the barest of bare mention in the local press.
Yet the case has raised the thorny issues of racial divisions, racial violence, what is or isn't a racial hate crime, and a redefinition of what's legally permissible or not in a hate crimes case involving juveniles.
The only case that has come even remotely close to the Long Beach case is the prosecution four years ago of 10 black high school students in Charlottesville, Virginia. That case momentarily sent shock waves through the nation. The shock wasn't that they were young, black or were jailed. The shock was that their victims were white students who attended the University of Virginia. This cases also set off a deep and agonizing debate and soul search over whether blacks can be just as guilty and culpable of committing racially motivated hate attacks on whites, as whites have committed on blacks.
The facts in the Long Beach trial, as in Virginia, are much disputed. Prosecutors say that on Halloween night the teens viciously harassed, beat, and kicked three white women. They allegedly hurled racial taunts and insults at them before and during the assault, and that included screams of, "I Hate whites."
This is what made the case a racial case, and why prosecutors slapped the youth with a hate crimes enhancement. That charge carries an additional four years if the youth are convicted. Defense attorneys say that the teens did not assault the women, and that they were singled out solely because they were black, happened be in the area at the time, and were convenient and accessible targets.
The kids have no prior records, and from all appearances come from solid middle class and working class homes. One of the girls received a track scholarship to the University of Southern California. Are the teens the victims of malicious prosecutors or a mindless pack of violence prone teens? Prosecutors and defense attorneys will spend weeks battling each other to answer that question.
But it's the hate crime charge against black teens that is the most intriguing and tormenting. Traditionally blacks have been the targets of racially motivated hate crimes, and that hasn't changed in the past decade. According to the FBI's annual report on hate attacks in America, there are about 10,000 such attacks yearly. In more than half of the hate attacks, blacks are the targets. In the majority of these cases their assailants are white, usually adult white males, and even more typically a motley assortment of racist zanies, Neo-Nazis, Aryan Nations, Klansmen, the Order, and bikers, or are simply loose cannons from the racist crackpot fringe. In almost all cases, the hate mongers land in a federal court docket, on federal charges, and in almost all cases, they are convicted.
The black teens in Long Beach hardly fit the standard profile of a hate purveyor. But does that mean that they can't be? In the Long Beach case, the teens are not members of a hate group, and the attacks weren't premeditated. But they have been jailed since early November, are brought to court in shackles, and since they are juveniles, they are not tried by a jury, but by a judge. The judge has come under Constitutional fire for issuing an order to limit the right of defense attorneys to publicly cross-examine some prosecution witnesses, and to disclose their names. (The judge subsequently modified the order). Predictably, the case has drawn fire from local radio talk shock jocks. They have fanned hysteria about the case, and virtually convicted the girls, and the case has stirred racial tensions in Long Beach.
Local civil rights leaders have mostly taken hands off on the case. They are understandably conflicted by it. If the attackers did in fact target the women solely because they are white, they must be denounced, and even if race was not the sole motivation, the violence still should be denounced. But civil rights leaders also know the vicious history of hate attacks against blacks and they are loath, and correctly so, to rush to judgment and convict the teens, especially since a key prosecution witness, and even one of the victims, could not positively ID all of the attackers.
This doesn't or shouldn't give blacks a pass on hate crimes. They can commit them, just as whites, and others have, and they can commit them at any age. Was that the case in Long Beach? It's way too soon to answer that question. But one thing is certain; the Long Beach trial puts the issues of hate and justice uneasily side by side in a courtroom.

Prostate Cancer Health Center
'You've Got Prostate Cancer'
Most men who learn they have prostate cancer will be told they have a relatively early stage of the disease. This article is for them. Not because later-stage disease is untreatable, but because men with early prostate cancer must choose among a wide range of different treatment options.
Having options is a good thing, but having to choose is hard. Each choice has its advantages -- and its disadvantages. And once most of these choices are made, there's no going back. Even if other options still remain, they will be affected by the original decision.

Understanding Prostate Cancer -- Symptoms
There are no warning signs of early prostate cancer. Once a tumor causes the prostate gland to swell, or once cancer spreads beyond the prostate, the following symptoms may happen: A frequent need to urinate, especially at night Difficulty starting or stopping a stream of urine A weak or interrupted urinary stream Leaking of urine when laughing or coughing Inability to urinate standing up A painful or burning sensation during urination or ejaculation Blood in urine or...
Read the Understanding Prostate Cancer -- Symptoms article > >
"Of the men today diagnosed with prostate cancer, 90% have localized cancer," says Peter Scardino, MD, chair of the urology department at New York's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. "The dilemma they face is, 'What shall I do about this? Should I treat it at all, or is the word cancer scaring me into taking potentially dangerous treatments? It is an agonizing decision."
The Options
"You have to be aware of the risks -- and you have to make decisions," says Thomas Keane, MD, associate professor of urology at Emory University School of Medicine, in Atlanta. "The only way you can do that is to get the knowledge in the first place. If you are the kind of patient that doesn't do well with that, you need to sit down and spend a lot of time with your doctor."
To choose among treatment options, a man must know how aggressive the cancer seems to be and if the tumor is localized or if it has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body.
A man with localized prostate cancer has four main treatment options:
Watchful Waiting
Prostate cancer usually takes a long time to go from localized cancer to painful, metastatic disease. For a man in his late 70s or 80s with a non-aggressive tumor, it might be a good idea to do nothing at all except keep track of how the disease is progressing, and to deal with symptoms when and if they arise. This is called "watchful waiting." The idea is to wait until the cancer is serious enough to justify the risks of treatment.

ioSafe Solo rugged hard drive
Most of the hard drives we get here at Pocket-lint are portable, occasionally tough, but mostly made of plastic.
That's fine if you're dashing about the city and need a light, portable back-up solution on the go that's ready for a bit of rough and tumble, but pretty rubbish if your house or office burns down and your data with it Armageddon style.
In steps the ioSafe Solo, an external hard drive that promises to survive fire and flood by protecting your data when the Gods decide your office or home shouldn't be around any more.
As you might expect, the ioSafe is one tough cookie. Encased in metal, packed with ceramic, the drive might look portable however it's anything but.
That's okay, because it's not designed to be carried around, it's designed to survive a fire or flood, remember.
The technical aspects of the drive are that it comes in either 500GB, 1TB and 1.5TB models and is connected to your PC or Mac via a USB 2.0 cable. Independently powered, once on it's just a case of plugging in the drive to your computer before you can start transferring data to and from it. Read and write speeds are as good as any other drive we've tested and the reality is that the ioSafe Solo is just a regular hard drive underneath that metal shell.
What isn't regular is that shell. The metal of course isn't waterproof or fireproof. In fact the ruggedness has limits: 1550 degrees f for 30 minutes in a fire, 3 days submerged 10 feet in water, but during that time although the outer case will be toast, your hard drive and more importantly the data on it will not be.
The system works by encasing the hard drive in a watertight sealed bag that is then surrounded by a ceramic casing. The basic job of the ceramic is that it keeps the drive cool while the outside gets hot.
The ceramic casing, which actually contains water that is then dissipated when heated, has a series of air vents and corridors that collapse when the casing gets to hot - i.e., in a fire. The move, which is the core to protecting the drive inside, means that during normal operating the drive keeps cool, but in crisis locks the drive away safe.
Of course wanting to make sure the whole system worked we first submerged the drive in a bath for a day. After that we then put it in the oven at 500 degrees for 30 minutes.
We have to admit even our meaty American oven wouldn't get it anywhere near the heat that the ioSafe could theoretically take, but it allowed us to "cook stuff" just for you - thanks.
After our watering and burning session we had one cooked hard drive. While we weren't - and you won't either - be able to plug in the unit back as if nothing had happened (it had - we burnt the bugger) we were able to take it apart and connect the untouched working drive to access the data, which let's face it is what it's all about.
If the worst has happened and you can't get to the data simply by connecting it to a PC or Mac then the ioSafe drive protection system kicks in. As long as you've registered the drive with ioSafe they will spend up to $1000 getting the information back off the drive and then send you the data back.
The ioSafe Solo does what it sets out to do. This isn't a rugged go-anywhere drive solution that other companies offer, this is a "my office or home just burnt down, but at least my data is safe" solution.
The weight (it's about 8kg) and locking hole put paid to you not carrying it anywhere, but then as we've said, it isn't designed for that.
Think of this as a digital equivalent to the safe under your bed. You don't care what it looks like, you just want, push come to shove, the stuff you put in it to be safe in case disaster strikes.
This will achieve just that.

Long day but an enjoyable one. The six kilometre walk around the rim was great and highly recommended. With a great breakfast and lunch. Tour guides were pleasant and very informative. We took the AAT coach to Alice Springs which made it a longer day but enjoyed the journey.

Such a great trip to do. The rim walk is not for those who can and #39;t handle a good work out and climbing over rocks! It is an adventure with beautiful scenery and wildlife to surprise you every step of the way. Such an early start but the reward is to see a beautiful sunrise. You have to do it!
May 2016
The tour was really nice. The long walk is really wonderful, only the start is a little steepy with 500 steps to climb, but the guide did frequent breaks. His explanations were very interesting, and the view absolutely awsome . The timing was perfect. We were only surprised by the fact that the guide, in the bus, did a very scary description of the long walk, to such point I was ready to give up... we have 2 kids with us. I think he did because they were old people in the bus and he may have be afraid they wanted to do the long walk...but it was still puzzling. Also, the bus driver was very nice and had a lot to explain to us, an authentic bushman who lives there for long !We were very happy to have chosen this tour.
March 2016
First part of walk challenging, but worth it. Walk was done at a fairly quick pace
November 2015
GORGEOUS canyon! It was very hot just under 36 degrees celsius at 9 in the morning and I participated in the rim walk the longer of the 2 walks. The hike up was very strenuous and challenging, however once you make it to the top, every step you took to get there was totally worth it. The destination is always better than the journey. But the journey was great as well because we were a quick group and had an excellent, knowledgable tour guide who made the tour so much fun! Very funny and enthusiastic while keeping us all hydrated, safe, and motivated. We had a great day but boy were we tired!
November 2015
This was my favorite thing I did while in the area! The hike is amazing and the first km is a tough climb but the rest is more relaxed still somewhat challenging and I absolutely loved it!
October 2015
Well worth the early start, high canyon walk not to difficult, guides very helpful.
September 2015
The guide was very friendly and helpful. The bus comfortable. Everything was superb! like the Kings Canyon

Wind Blamed for I-80 Crash That Killed Massachusetts Man

Gusty winds along Interstate 80 are being blamed for the Feb.12 accident that killed a commercial vehicle driver near the town of Arlington in Carbon County...
Authorities pronounced a Green River man dead last week after he drove into a parked tractor trailer along Interstate 80 near Rawlins.
Authorities have recovered hundreds of pages of stolen personal information after pulling over a vehicle going 111 mph in a 65 mph zone near Farson in southwestern Wyoming.
Flora was one of eight drug detection K-9's that the Wyoming Highway Patrol has deployed around the State.
During the rollover Tiffany Anderson, who was not wearing any safety restraints, was totally ejected from the pickup.
The accident occured Monday morning on Highway 59 when a man driving a pickup lost control of his vehicle on the icy roadway.
Two suspects are in custody following an attempted bank robbery and resulting police chase, which ended with the suspect vehicle crashing near a Central Casper home.
The patrol says six individuals being arrested facing felony charges. Officers Seized were pound amounts of marijuana, methamphetamine and U.S. currency.
Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers can now run nationwide driver's license checks, check vehicle registrations and issue citations right from their in-car computer.
The driver was treated at a hospital and released but was cited for driving too fast for the weather conditions at the time.

Palestinian truce shattered as militants storm rival's home, killing six bodyguards
Last updated at 10:24 16 May 2007
the home of a rival Fatah
official, burning his house and executing
six bodyguards, Palestinian
security officials said.
The gunmen fired
mortars at the house of Fatah
security chief Rashid Abu
Shbak before bursting in,
planting pipe bombs and
shooting those inside.
Abu Shbak and his family
were not at home but the
house was being guarded
by at least a dozen of his
The latest truce between the rival
factions was shattered hours
later as Hamas militants
fired eight rockets into
Israel at dawn while they
fought gun battles with
Fatah in the streets of the
Gaza Strip.
The streets of central
Gaza City echoed with the
rattle of machinegun fire
this morning and were
empty except for gunmen
in black ski masks.
Terrified residents huddled in
dark homes after electricity to some areas was cut off by a downed power line.
The latest rocket salvo at
the Israeli town of Sderot,
just outside Gaza wounded 17

Hamas, which runs the
fragile Palestinian
government alongside Fatah,
claimed responsibility for
firing the rockets.
said they were retaliation
for an Israeli attack at an
Israel-Gaza crossing point
- an attack
initiated by Hamas, which
appeared to be an attempt
to draw Israel into the fray.
Abdel Hakim Awad, a
Fatah spokesman, accused
Hamas of the attack on
Abu Shbak's house. "All
(Hamas) are killers from
top to bottom, all are
implicated," he said, adding that
the Islamist group "wanted
to turn Gaza into a new
Somalia or Darfur".

An Early Look at the Governors
A sneak peek at the 2011 and 2012 gubernatorial campaign landscape.
Over the next two years, 14 states are expected to hold gubernatorial elections. The "expected to" is necessary because the timing of a gubernatorial contest for former West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin's replacement is up in the air. Manchin vacated his seat to make a successful run for the U.S. Senate.
West Virginia aside, three contests will be held in 2011 -- in Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi -- with 10 more held during the 2012 presidential election year. For the 2011 and 2012 cycles, interviews with a range of state and national analysts suggest that nine races will be in play during the two-year period, with an "in play" race being defined as a tossup or a seat leaning to one party. All of these nine seats are currently held by the Democrats. The five Republican seats up in 2011 and 2012 are not considered in play at this point.
If early analysis is accurate, the Republican party can expect to pick up three seats. That would push the GOP control from 30 Republican governors, 19 Democratic governors and one independent to 33 Republicans, 16 Democrats and one independent.
With extra luck for the GOP, the Republicans could end up with a net gain of six seats; with better luck for the Democrats, the GOP gains could be held to a seat or two.
Inevitably, current perceptions are shaped by the recent midterm elections in which the Republicans rode a national wave. The ratings could well shift in the Democrats' direction in the coming months if President Barack Obama's re-election bid improves the Democratic electoral outlook for 2012.
States such as Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota and Utah -- staunchly Republican in most elections these days -- have governorships solidly in the GOP camp. Indiana, which voted for Obama in 2008 but returned to its Republican roots in several key races in 2010, also appears to be leaning strongly to the GOP.
A few solidly Democratic states, such as Delaware and Vermont, are leaning in the Democrats' direction.
The 2011 and 2012 election cycles could well be shaped by the outcome of five races in which the governorship is currently Democratic, but the state has recently voted for Republicans in federal elections. These five states are North Carolina, Montana, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri.
Democrats will also be tested in two other states. In Washington state, which has generally leaned Democratic, the Republicans have a potentially strong candidate in Attorney General Rob McKenna. In New Hampshire, meanwhile, Democratic Gov. John Lynch was re-elected in a very rough climate in 2010 and now faces new GOP majorities in the state House and Senate.

Spacious and café style atmosphere for this outlet located at Kiliney. It is just around the corner from the Singtel Comcenter. The food they serve are all organic. Vegans will have to give this a try as their food are tasty and creative. Must try their Mushroom Aglio Olio and fried noodles. It is super yummy. The price is slightly higher than other vegetarian cafes. Expect a long waiting time for the food to be serve when the place is crowded. Their dessert chocolate cake is not bad too!
The pot of tea was way better than what they recommended .. their chickpea sweet potato patty. Tastes like powdery curry powder .. no real flavor. Jeez the only good thing here is the ambience. Avoid the patty, I repeat, avoid the patty. Barely edible. The veggie part of it was nicer, though served separately & not in any way that melded flavors together .. seriously, vegetarians or vegans must hate this place for its food .. i do. Service: lack of soul or connection, nice enough & tolerable.
i took my friends for lunch at the place on a Sunday and ordered for our food with basic pastas and juice. We keptbwaiting endlessly for our food for 50 minutes. There were only 2 staff delivering food and every time we asked for our food we simply had no clarity except that "it's coming!". Food was cold and very average for the high price they charge. Very poor service delivery which does not make it a good reason for me to visit this store again or recommend to anyone. Hope they take note and sort out the basics.
