He has stood firm on raising tax on millionaires, insisting the wealthiest should bear the brunt of France's harshest budget for 30 years, but one of François Hollande's key new taxes on businesses may be blown off course by an uprising from a flock of "pigeons".
For days young internet entrepreneurs and heads of web startups have dominated social network sites with a campaign against the French president's tax rises on small businesses. They call themselves "Les Pigeons" – French slang for mugs or suckers – and use a black and white logo of a frowning bird.
They are protesting against aspects of Hollande's tough crisis budget for 2013 which, they say, are unfairly skewed against the small business sector and would kill the startup boom, forcing young digital innovators to flee France. They argue that a €2bn (£1.6bn) increase in capital gains taxes on equity sales would force entrepreneurs who sell their new companies to pay up to 58% to the state, discouraging them from getting new ideas off the ground in the first place.
The Socialist government has prided itself on being immune so far to what it dismisses as the grumblings of the mega-rich against the budget. The main focus of complaint was the 75% tax on income above €1m, although the measure is hugely popular among the public.
The Pigeons' revolt is different: it has dominated the airwaves and started to severely embarrass the government, leading to a call from the finance minister, Pierre Moscovici, on Thursday for an emergency meeting with young entrepreneurs and a vow to tweak the plans.
Dominique Seux, a columnist at the French business paper Les Echos, said the public did not care and the Socialist political class was untroubled when unhappiness at the budget was coming from big earners annoyed at the 75% tax rate. But "it was something else" when the revolt came from likeable and more ordinary young internet entrepreneurs "who have a friendly image, who break norms, who haven't gone to [elite graduate school] ENA, and who talk like everyone else".
Moscovici said it was right to have a rethink if the measures "shocked" or "dissuaded investment by young innovative companies".
"We don't want to give the impression that we want to punish the Pigeons," Hollande's office told Reuters. "We'll find a solution … the Pigeons should return to their nest."
The likely climbdown comes less than a week after the government unveiled a budget making €30bn of savings needed to cut the deficit. The mood in the French business community is already tense, with companies complaining they are struggling to compete with German and other rivals because of France's high labour costs – a thorny issue that Hollande is to address in coming weeks.
Laurence Parisot, the head of the business leaders union Medef, said this week her members had never been so angst-ridden and denounced what she called a form of anti-business "racism" in France.
The Pigeons' campaign has had detractors. An open letter from other small business leaders in the daily Libération said: "We don't see ourselves as a caste of superior citizens who should benefit from favourable tax treatment."
Fleur Pellerin, the minister for innovation and small business, told French radio one possible option was to offer tax breaks for any entrepreneur looking to reinvest more than 80% of any capital gains.
It is not yet clear how much revenue will be lost if the government waters down the measure.

Side-by-side: A pedagogical basis for (Design) transdisciplinarity
Franz, Jill M. & Lehmann, Steffen (2004) Side-by-side: A pedagogical basis for (Design) transdisciplinarity. IDEA Journal, 2004, pp. 9-30.
|Accepted Version (PDF 14MB)
In this paper, a pedagogical model for fostering transdisciplinarity in the built environment is described. Unlike learning situations in design education which use multidisciplinary teams, this model is characterised by students working side-by-side on the same project each producing their own proposal. As is explained, the development of this model was inspired by a growing awareness of the need to look beyond discipline boundaries in order to more effectively address issues involving the design of the built environment; issues associated with a rapidly changing and increasingly technologically complex world. In this respect, transdisciplinarity formed the philosophical and theoretical basis for the development and implementation of a cross-discipline studio elective for architecture and interior design students from years three to six in their course. While there are limitations with the model, the evaluation reveals insights into how we might continue with constructing more appropriate learning opportunities for engendering transdisciplinary attitudes in students and graduates.

I am opening a bakery with a hood already installed and a walk in refrigerator. I am looking to buy an oven, I'm probably going to go with a gas oven since I already have the hook ups. Does anyone have any recommendations.
When I have used gas ovens in the past, everything cooked pretty uneven. Are there any trusted brands that you prefer?
Also I am looking to buy used, and companies that do that?

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi and welcome to our site!Do you mean any specific requisitions?
just on reg 1.162-3
Let me verify...
i understand we can choose de-minimis on materials and supplies
i am confused about the $200 rule on M&S and the $5000 threshold per invoice per item for de-minimis safe harbor
Here is the latest update as I could see - http://www.irs.gov/irb/2012-14_IRB/ar05.html
that is the old rule, before the final repair reg T.D. 9636
if you don't know the answer, that's fine
this question may not be suitable for the $16 charge
Let me take a look at T.D. 9636... give me a sec...
I see - it was released in September - http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-19/pdf/2013-21756.pdf
what exact is the item of your concern?
we purchased supplies for $200 each, a total of $20,000. under materials and supplies, this $20K is deductible during the year used
but if we elect de-minimis rule, we have AFS, can we also deduct the $20K during the year used?
(FYI, if we have AFS, the de minimis rule is $5000 per item per invoice)
the reg has a lot of examples, but i am still confused!
In general - we may expense the cost for materials and supplies only in the amount that was actually consumed and used in operation during the year - that was not changed.The de minimis safe harbor was part of the previous regulation - what changed - (1) the threshold increased from $100 to $200 and (2) the de minimis safe harbor is and simplified.
yes.. i know that
this is the fact:
we have AFS, and our threshold to capitalize is $1000 for books purpose.
in my example above, if we choose the de minimis election, can we deduct the $20K?
in other words, if we choose the de-minims election, will all materials and supplies be expensed when used?
no matter how big the expenses are?
If materials and supplies were actually consumed and used in operation during the year - You do not need the de minims rule.You would only use that rule when some are not used - but because of accounting practice you still want to expense that cost instead of carrying inventory.
ok... so your understanding is to elect de minimis rule only for unused portion?
No - if you choose de minimis rule - you will need to consider the total amount of expenses because of limitations. If the total amount is above the limit - you will not be able to use the de minimis rule.
ok.. in my example above, i can do 2 options: 1. i can still expense the $20K as materials and supplies because each costs $200 and 2) i can also elect the de-minimis and expense the $20K because each is less than my threshold of $1000. is this correct?
Some companies have internal policy based on $5,000 threshold and if so - may elect and use the safe harbor. When your expenses exceed $5,000 - you still can follow that policy, but will make your books open fro the audit. There will be anti abuse policy - and it is not clear for me how that would work.
See page 5 - http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-19/pdf/2013-21756.pdf
Under either procedure, if the cost exceeds $5,000 per invoice (or item), then the amounts paid for the property will not fall within the de minimis safe harbor. In addition, an anti-abuse rule is provided to aggregate costs that are improperly split among multiple invoices.
i re-read reg 1.162-3, and found example 14, which helps me answer my question above.
i appreciate your trying to help, though.
See also - ...a new safe harbor determined at the invoice or item level and based on the policies that the taxpayer utilizes for its financial accounting books and records. A taxpayer with an applicable financial statement may rely on the de minimis safe harbor under § 1.263(a)–1(f) of the final regulations only if the amount paid for property does not exceed $5,000 per invoice, or per item as substantiated by the invoice.So the application of the de minimis safe harbor should be based on internal policy which must satisfy an anti-abuse rule - see page 28 and examples.
the rule is too complicated for my simple brain, but i appreciate your help.

Cold starting is a pain! what next...
I have a late build 99 and if i dont plug her in shes a pain to start at i would say anything under 45-50 degrees. Just cranks a little bit slow sometimes then pops and studders and stalls, and eventually after tryin for a while it will start up and smoke like a freight train for a few minutes then clear up. I have changed out the Glow plug relay, changed the oil to synthetic amsoil 15w-40 weight. what should i start checking now? My dads work truck is a 2000 f350 and it starts fine on the coldest days... i cant figure it out.

I was having the same trouble and I finally got mine fixed. I went threw the glow plug system totally. I was running 15w40 Rotella and I was do for an oil change and switched to 5w40 Rotella Synt. I started it one morning when it was 5 degrees above zero. It started and ran smooth with one cycle of the plugs. The lighter oil sure helped mine. Maybe someone else will chime in with some other ideas. When it warms up I plan on switching back to the 15w40. Good luck.

Check the glowplugs, and yes switching to a liter oil like 5w40 or you can just run 10w30 through out the whole year will work.
Yes I have posts on here about hard cold starts on my own truck. I know the glowplugs are done in my truck I have 161,000 miles on them. Also my glow plug relay some days has voltage on both posts and some days it doesn't. Also sometimes the wait start light on my truck will work and somedays it won't.

The Brits may be onto something. What else would explain an overnight sensation -- 16 years in the making -- with a stodgy name, a successful track record and a growing number of devotees on this side of the Atlantic Ocean? The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) has got -- to use a term more commonly associated with American Idol (a derivative product of the original British Pop Idol) -- buzz.
In a straw poll of more than 250 federal, state and local government decision-makers, 65 percent were testing ITIL. They wanted to get their arms around everything from support service management -- including problem management, incident management, change management, release management and configuration management -- and service delivery management -- including service level management, availability management, capacity management and financial management -- to larger operational processes, which includes infrastructure management, applications management, security management and project management.
They were coming with cap in hand, with 35 percent indicating they now rely on homegrown solutions and roughly half -- 47 percent -- suggesting they had cobbled together a hybrid management scheme that added commercial tools to their homegrown efforts.
ITIL holds the promise of scratching a hard-to-reach itch and providing a disciplined way to address intractable operational issues.
The library originated in 1989 with the UK government's Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency as an effort to codify best practices for the smart use of technologies by government agencies. Though it wasn't invented here, it was built for and by people a lot like us -- the public-sector IT community in the United Kingdom.
Its guardians at the UK Office of Government Commerce would cringe at the comparison, but -- despite copyright being held by the British Crown -- there are some clear analogies between ITIL and open source as transformational movements.
Consider, for example, these characteristics:

'The Daily Show': Jon Stewart Skewers Sarah Palin
Posted on Aug 16, 2012
Jon Stewart poked fun at one of his favorite targets on "The Daily Show" on Wednesday night. Stewart ripped into Sarah Palin for saying that she couldn't think of any prominent Republicans who talk the way liberals do.
"Does the lake behind you have reflective properties?" Stewart said. "If so, you may find the answer to your riddle."
He then proceeded to show a video of Palin slinging harsh words: accusing Obama of pallin' around with terrorists, calling Nancy Pelosi a dingbat and questioning the president's "balls" (so to speak). Turns out, Stewart had quite a bit of material to work with.
He concluded: "So you don't know of any prominent Republicans who spew divisive vitriol? There can only be two explanations for that. One: Not even Sarah Palin believes she is a prominent Republican anymore. Or two: Sarah Palin can no longer hear herself speak."
Let's go with the former.

That depends upon how you used Mathematica and on what you
mean by "the old fashion way". If you used a text such as
the (electronic text) _Calculus & Mathematica_,
by Davis, Porta, & Uhl (Addison-Wesley), you might even learn
calculus *better* than if you learned it in a variety of

Carroll says run game will get better - Sept. 9, 2013

RENTON - The Seattle Seahawks managed to go across the country and pick up a victory in their season opener against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
That doesn't mean their performance didn't yield some concerns or things to work on before their home opener with the San Francisco 49ers this weekend.
Seattle earned a 12-7 victory over the Panthers that was the first season opening road win by the Seahawks since 2006. However, the Seahawks' offensive line couldn't punch holes in the running game and QB Russell Wilson had to run for his life on several occasions.
"I don't think it's anything (concerning)," head coach Pete Carroll said. "We just need to get back to business and get us going in the right direction."
The running game was mostly non-existant. Seattle ran for just 70 yards on 26 carries. RB Marshawn Lynch ran for just 43 yards on 17 carries. However, Carroll attributed that lack of production to a lack of push in the running game and said they needed to do more to help the offensive line.
"We didn't run the ball very well," Carroll said. "In our program, as you guys know, that's a huge focus and so we were disappointed. We plan to go right back to business and get it done this week. We can't go like that. We're not going to football that way."
Carolina's defensive front gave Seattle trouble. T Breno Giacomini struggled at times against DE Charles Johnson and DT Star Lotulelei was a handful for the Seahawks' interior line.
"They winded up doing alright as the game winded up," Carroll said. "We needed to help them a little bit scheme-wise and some things that we need to fix in the run game that against that opponent didn't work out for us."
Carroll said they came out of the game fairly healthy with S Jeron Johnson picking up a hamstring strain on the opening kickoff. He said others had bumps and bruises but nothing considered particularly problematic at this point.
CB Brandon Browner was not able to play Sunday with a hamstring strain. Carroll said he has a chance to get back this week and the plan is for him to get back to practice on Thursday.
DE Cliff Avril also didn't play due to a hamstring strain but appears a little closer to returning to Browner. Carroll said they are planning on Avril being able to play this week against the 49ers. It would be his first game action this year as he did not play in the preseason.
"We are planning on him being part of it this week," Carroll said of Avril. "Unless, he has some kind of setback we can't foresee. So that would be a nice little boost to get him back in the game."
Carroll said he saw positive things from several players along the defensive line. DT Tony McDaniel, DE Michael Bennett and LB O'Brien Schofield all played well in their first games with the team.
"I made note of that in the team meeting, about (Schofield) and Tony and Bennett, all looking like they fit in with our guys and the style of play that we like. So we are really fired up about that," Carroll said.
DE Chris Clemons is also expected to begin practicing in team drills this week.

From this energetic stream of thought prompted by just one 30-second advert you would be correct in assuming that I have a problem with the whole 'anti-ageing' terminology. I loathe and avoid anything which includes the following words on or in its packaging or advertising: 'perfect', 'renew' or 'renewal', 'correct', 'revitalise', 'restore', 'firm', 'regenerate', 'plumps', 'lift', 'anti-wrinkle', 'smooth', 'rejuvenate' or promises to 'turn the clock back', 'blur' or 'reverse visible signs of ageing'. So that leaves me with… not a lot actually.I read this soon after I'd seen an L'Oréal advert on the telly - the people who are supposed to make Helen Mirren look gorgeous - and was confused by all the make-up - the made-up words they use to describe their stuff. I mean, what the heck is "2% Vitamin CG and 6% Pro-Xylane". I know about Vitamin C, but CG?
Helen (not Mirren, the author of the article) says that in the UK "we spend a staggering £2.2 billion on cosmetic skincare". I'd have to take issue with that. I'm not part of the "we", since I don't spend anything on cosmetic skincare, just a few squid on moisturiser that I forget to use and some sun screen that my dermatologist says I should use, on account of having had skin cancer.
I used to wear make-up on special occasions. I've given up now, since poor eyesight has led to poking myself in the eye with a mascara brush too often - one of the advantages of failing sight is that I can't see my wrinkles very well any more. I tend to forget I've got lipstick on and wipe it off with serviettes or my sleeve. I've better things to do with my pension than swell L'Oréal's coffers. Besides, none of it is anti-ageing; it's all superficial. Some cream with Pro-Xylane in it (whatever that is) won't fix what's going on under the skin, which is inevitable. If I read that we spent even a small proportion of that £2.2 billion on chocolate or cake or gin, I'd understand.

The link for Piranha 5mm LEDs goes to 'Product not found'
The datasheet here refers to a rev2 pdf file and the current one on the 4DSystems website refers to a rev3 file.
There is a 'rev3' silkscreened onto the PCB in the picture - can I assume that's what is being shipped out?

Workers from Craft Masonry, Kansas City, took advantage of the warmer temperatures on Friday, Jan. 9, to get a good portion of the concrete wall done on the west side of the square where 210 W Main St. was.
A March 11, 2008 fire that destroyed The Cleaners, Etc., and a business owned by Misti McKenzie and Ray Smith was destroyed, leaving the west side of the McCalley, Gorham and Boman buuilding needing additional support. The workers continued building the wall on Monday. (Photo by Brenda Jensen/The Daily News)

It's no secret that social media has revolutionized the way celebrities interact with their fans, and over the past year Kendall Jenner scored the most popular photograph on Instagram.
Nabbing a whopping 3.2 million likes, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star's snapshot of herself laying on the floor with her hair shaped into hearts landed on top of the heap.
Setting a great example for her little girl, Beyoncé Knowles grabbed a flossing pick and started cleaning her teeth in a new Instagram clip.
The new GIF shows 3-year-old Blue Ivy also joining in on the fun, flashing a peace sign with one hand while engaging in dental detailing with the other.
They've been enjoying a fun-filled family getaway in Paris, France as of late and earlier today (October 14) Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z showed up at Kings Cross Eurostar Station in London, England.
Sporting some seriously short bangs, the "Single Ladies" singer maneuvered her way through the crowded train terminal with the help a few security guards.
It's one of the hottest tickets of the year, and Beyoncé Knowles and Jay Z gave fans quite a show as they traveled around the USA and Canada on their On The Run North American Tour.
In the new two-and-a-half hour HBO documentary, the "Run the World" songstress and her "Empire State of Mind" rapper hubby really got to invite fans into their world of music and family.
They've been thrilling audiences all over the country with their On the Run US Tour and now Beyoncé Knowles and Jay Z are ready for a vacation.
The "Drunk in Love" lady and her "No Church in the Wild" hubby played their last gig in San Francisco on Wednesday night (August 6) and the next day they boarded a private jet to head home.
Showing off her adorable family, Beyoncé Knowles shared a photo of her darling brood on Monday afternoon (July 21).
In the snap shot, the "Drunk in Love" singer and her hubby Jay Z swing their baby girl Blue Ivy and appear to be in good spirits.
She's proud of her growing little girl, and Beyonce Knowles just added a few new shots of Blue Ivy Carter to her website.
The "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" songstress has been spending time with her daughter every chance she gets, though being on the "On The Run Tour" with husband Jay-Z certainly has kept her busy.
Making the most of their time in New York City, Beyoncé Knowles and Jay Z took a trip to the Domino sugar factory in Brooklyn for a cultural experience.
The "Crazy in Love" songstress and her "99 Problems" rapper checked out A Subtlety, a sugar sculpture by artist Kara Walker, and daughter Blue Ivy seemed fascinated.

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2017
Revenue and Taxation Code
Other Taxes
Part 6. Private Railroad Car Tax
Chapter 2. Assessments
Article 4. Estimated and Escaped Assessments
Section 11315
11315. Assessment of escaped property. If any property required to be assessed for any year wholly escapes assessment or escapes assessment in part due to the board's underassessing the property because of failure of the taxpayer to report the property accurately, the board shall immediately assess or reassess the property upon the discovery of the escape.
History.—Stats. 1945, p. 1002, in effect September 15, 1945, deleted "immediately" before "assess" and substituted "first" for "third." Stats. 1974, Ch. 54, p. 118, in effect January 1, 1975, substituted "for any year wholly escapes assessment or escapes assessment in part due to the board's underassessing the property because of failure of the taxpayer to report the property accurately" for "escapes assessment for any year", added "immediately" after "shall", and substituted the balance of the first sentence after "assess" for "the property when it is discovered"; and deleted the former last sentence regarding the inclusion of such an assessment among assessments to be completed.
Construction.—Escape assessments were properly levied under this section against a lessor of railroad flatcars after the Board determined that the lessor's claim of functional obsolescence pertaining to those cars was unjustified. The section does not require reappraisal of a taxpayer's entire fleet of railcars, only an appraisal of the portion of the fleet that escaped assessment. Trailer Train Company v. State Board of Equalization, 180 Cal.App.3d 565.

Moderation effects of emotional approach coping and social constraints were predicted based on a matching hypothesis for the fit between the demands of writing and individual differences (Niles et al, 2014) and the role of social constraints on disclosure (Lepore & Revenson, 2007). Cancer-related avoidance and cancer-related intrusive thoughts were examined as mediators on the relationships between social constraints and emotional well-being at follow up and social constraints and quality of life at follow up. Results showed that participants in the expressive writing condition reported increased emotional well-being at follow up, controlling for baseline levels of emotional well-being, but there were no differences in quality of life at follow up between the two writing conditions, controlling for baseline quality of life. There were no differences in reported average negative affect post writing sessions between the two writing conditions. In a model predicting emotional well-being at follow up, expressive writing had a positive effect, social constraints had a negative effect, and emotional approach coping had no effect. The hypothesized moderation effects between emotional approach coping, social constraints and writing condition in predicting emotional well-being at follow up were not detected and support for the matching hypothesis proposed by Niles et al (2014) was not found. In a marginally significant model, social constraints had a significant effect and interacted with writing condition to predict quality of life at follow up, such that participants with high baseline levels of social constraints benefitted more from the fact control condition, whereas participants with low baseline levels of social constraints benefitted more from the expressive writing condition. Finally, cancer-related intrusive thoughts mediated the effect of social constraints on emotional well-being at follow up but not on quality of life at follow up. Cancer-related avoidance was not found to mediate the effect of social constraints on either emotional well-being at follow up or quality of life at follow up. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Which Skills Predict School Success? Socioemotional Skills and the Achievement Gap Boyars, Michal Y. http://hdl.handle.net/1903/19011 2017-01-25T03:48:22Z 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Which Skills Predict School Success? Socioemotional Skills and the Achievement Gap Boyars, Michal Y. This cross-sectional study examined the relations of four socioemotional skills with academic achievement among ethnic minority (e.g., Asian, Black, Latino/a, and multiethnic) and White elementary school students. Method: Participants included public school upper elementary students (N = 257; Mage = 9.71; 58% female; 10% Black, 5% Asian, 6% Latino/a, 12% multiracial; 61% White). Measures included student-reported grit, growth mindset, engagement, and emotion regulation, in addition to a student literacy achievement performance task (Test of Silent Reading Efficiency and Comprehension, TOSREC) and student reading achievement scores (Measures of Academic Progress in Reading; MAP-R). Results: Across all analyses, socioemotional skills were more related to literacy achievement for ethnic minority students than for White students. While simple regressions supported several skills' relation to achievement for both groups of students, multiple regressions suggested that grit was the sole significant predictor of achievement, and it was only predictive of minority students' achievement. Although literacy achievement differed between the full samples of ethnic minority and White students, moderation analyses indicated that this achievement gap disappeared among high grit students. Yet, while these regression and moderation results suggested grit's unique role as a predictor, SEM analyses suggested that the magnitude of all of the socioemotional skills' prediction of achievement were more similar than different. These findings support a novel but cautious approach to research on socioemotional skills and the achievement gap: results suggest that the skills operate differently in students of different ethnicities, with grit playing a uniquely predictive role for minority students. The skills, however, may be more similar than not in the strength of their association with literacy achievement. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Minimal Brain Dysfunction with Hyperactivity: a Comparison of the Behavioral and Cognitive Effects of Pharmacological and Behavioral Treatments Bradbard, Gail Susan http://hdl.handle.net/1903/18903 2017-06-13T10:41:05Z 1973-01-01T00:00:00Z Minimal Brain Dysfunction with Hyperactivity: a Comparison of the Behavioral and Cognitive Effects of Pharmacological and Behavioral Treatments Bradbard, Gail Susan It was the aim of the study: to compare the behavioral and cognitive effects of pharmacological and behavioral therapies in the short-term, clinical treatment of minimal brain dysfunction; and, to compare the behavioral and cognitive effects of stimulant (methylphenidate) and antidepressant (imipramine) drugs in the short-term, clinical treatment of minimal brain dysfunction. Twenty-nine boys, ranging in age from 6 through 12 years, with the diagnosis of minimal brain dysfunction with hyperactivity, were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: imipramine, methylphenidate, or behavior modification. The total time of treatment for each child was 6 weeks. For subjects within the imipramine and methylphenidate groups, medication dosage was individually titrated by a child psychiatrist. (Range: 75- 150 mg/daily of imipramine, 10- JO mg/daily of methylphenidate.) Parents of subjects within the behavior modification group individually met with an experimenter l hour per week. Behavioral principles were discussed, problem behaviors targeted, and behavioral programs devised for implementation during the treatment period. Subjects assigned to behavior modification were also individually seen once weekly. The first part of a session focused on behavioral control, following the method of behavior rehearsal. Working from problem areas targeted by parents, the subjects and experimenter discussed specific encounters, and then reenacted these incidents, rehearsing alternative, adaptive behaviors. The second part of a session was devoted to cognitive control, with training in self-directed verbal commands instituted. On tasks of trail making, matching pictures, and embedded figures, subjects verbally cued themselves to delay and to consider requirements before attempting a solution, with reinforcement contingent upon responses correct on initial trial. For all groups, prior to and following treatment, behavioral and cognitive measures were obtained: parents completed a behavior rating scale, the Parent's Questionnaire; teachers completed the School Report, assessing behavior and academic achievement; and subjects were administered a battery of psychological tests which included the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Wide Range Achievement Test, Porteus Maze Test, Bender Gestalt Test, Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, and Draw-APerson. Analysis of the data from teachers' global ratings of behavior indicated the superiority of pharmacological treatment in comparison with behavioral treatment. Within the cognitive area, based on teachers' global ratings of academic achievement and the Porteus Maze Test, pharmacological treatment was again shown superior. Isolating specific group effects, contributing to the major portion of the variance between pharmacological and behavioral treatments was the superiority of methylphenidate to behavior modification. Further research was felt necessary concerning the therapeutic comparability or lack of comparability of imipramine and behavior modification treatments. Between imipramine and methylphenidate treatments, based on teachers' ratings of hyperactivity and global ratings of both behavior and academic achievement, differential effects, in favor of methylphenidate, were suggested. Thus, the comparability of imipramine and methylphenidate treatments in terms of both behavioral and cognitive effects was felt to be in question. Results were discussed in terms of the bounds of the design, procedure, and measurements. Qualifications were noted concerning statistical power, Type I error, the relative rather than absolute efficacy of the treatments, and the validity of the measurements. Application and research implications were presented. The need for continued research into the application of behavioral programs with MBD children, both independent of and in conjunction with pharmacological treatment, was stressed, with suggestions provided as to the clinic-based and, to a limited extent, school-based implementation of such programs. 1973-01-01T00:00:00Z An Explanatory Study of the Institutional Factors Relating to the Quality of Social Greek Letter Societies Zacker, Terry York http://hdl.handle.net/1903/18899 2017-06-13T10:40:19Z 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z An Explanatory Study of the Institutional Factors Relating to the Quality of Social Greek Letter Societies Zacker, Terry York This exploratory study sought to describe which institutional interventions and/or factors seem to make a difference in high quality Greek (fraternity and sorority) communities. The research provided a descriptive analysis of the institutions which host Greek letter communities identified as promoting the positive ideals of the Greek experience. Through a revised Council for the Advancement of Standards Self Assessment Guide (CAS-SAGR) measurement tool, several factors important to Greek community success were postulated. The institutions were identified by experts familiar with the fraternity and sorority arena (e.g. national executive directors of fraternities and sororities, Association of Fraternity Advisors national board members) as hosting Greek letter communities with chapters which embody the ideals and founding principles ofleadership, service, academic excellence, and character/personal development; and have Greek self-governance systems of high quality. Greek communities from sixteen campuses were selected as those that best represented high quality fraternity and sorority systems. Four individuals at each campus completed the CAS-SAGR instrument. The CAS-SAGR instrument included 14 categories which represented dependent variables in the study. Each category contained several items which asked respondents to rate the importance of the item to their Greek community and how well they accomplished the variable. The data from these surveys were analyzed using Manovas and several correlations based on the independent variables of size and type (e.g. public or private). The results of the Manovas showed no statistical significance for either variable of size or type which suggests more similarities between quality Greek communities. Additionally, Cronbach alphas were applied to the CAS-SAGR instrument to provide an initial screening for reliability. Of the fourteen categories of measurement on the CASSAGR, eleven had alpha scores above .60. The identification and description ofthe 16 institutions, representing varied sizes and types, which host high quality Greek life communities, provides practitioners with prototypes for Greek systems to use when looking at improving their Greek community. The results of this research provide "models" of Greek communities where the founding principles and ideals may be approximating realization. 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z

The annual National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Health Summit is to be held at the University of Kent in Canterbury, 13th - 14th September 2012.
Established in 2006, the LGBT Health Summit is a unique UK event that brings individuals and organisations from across the UK together to debate and discuss LGBT health issues. This year the Summit takes place at a time of major NHS reform in England and public sector austerity across the UK, and will be considering the impact on service delivery to LGBT people.
The Summit is hosted by the LGBT Health Summit 2012 Consortium. This successful bidding partnership is headed up by Metro, Kent Community Health NHS Trust, Kent Transgender Forum, Kent & Medway LGBT Community Reference Group and the Centre for Gender, Sexuality and Law, University of Kent.
The Consortium is working in partnership with a host of other national and local statutory and voluntary organisations including Stonewall, UNISON, Canterbury City Council, LGBT Consortium, Kent County Council, Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust, NHS Kent & Medway and the National LGB&T Partnership.
The Summit will address a number of key health themes and will look in particular at the impact of social and emotional isolation on the health and well-being of LGBT people. It is widely recognised that LGBT people are not well served by health and other services and that their particular needs and experiences are not routinely monitored or addressed. The impact of prejudice and discrimination that LGBT people encounter has a detrimental effect on their mental and emotional and often their physical health.
The Summit will also focus on improving access and participation for older LGBT people, younger LGBT people and LGBT people affected by HIV and building capacity for transgender people. To achieve this goal, the Summit organisers are hosting a number of local fora to increase community engagement and build sustainable support in Kent and Medway.
Dr Greg Ussher, Deputy CEO of Metro said:
"Metro is delighted to be leading this partnership of local and national organisations to bring this year's Summit to Canterbury. It represents the culmination of over four years work by Metro with LGBT people and communities across Kent and Medway. We look forward to welcoming a broad range of statutory and voluntary organisations, activists, academics, policymakers and LGBT people to the Summit and we will work hard and collaboratively to deliver enduring health legacies for LGBT people locally, regionally and nationally."
Adam Lott of NHS Community Health NHS Trust said:
"We are delighted to be one of the partners involved in bringing this important Health Summit to Kent. As the leading provider of community care in Kent, we believe that this event gives us all a great opportunity to focus on LGBT health issues, not only in the country, but also across the UK"
Kelly Tonks of Kent Transgender Forum said:
"Kent Transgender Forum is extremely proud and excited to be involved in the National LGBT Health Summit. With Trans issues becoming more prominent nationally and locally, in the media and across government, it is an ideal opportunity to ensure that the visibility of Trans people remains strong. This Summit will be a strong example of collaboration across the LGBT spectrum and will lead to strong legacy foundations in Kent and Medway and across the UK."

The programme had such an impact on my life that I decided to come on board as a volunteer mentor!
Peter- First Point
I felt so relieved to have a named First Point worker who I can call if I need to be referred to a particular service.
Joan - First Point
Thank you so much for taking time to listen to me and truly understand how I am feeling. This is the only appointment I've had regarding HIV that didn�t feel rushed.

By discussing things at such an intimate level with my mentor, I really came face to face with some of the reasons why I was taking chances before.
David - Counselling
Outstanding people. Outstanding service. Outstanding counselling. Truly something that has allowed me to turn my life around.

I gained a huge amount of help from the counselling service and would like to thank the service for offering so much support.

International transfer pricing : the Australian approach and lessons for Canada
Sadiq, Kerrie (1998) International transfer pricing : the Australian approach and lessons for Canada. Canadian Tax Journal, 46(2), pp. 303-340.
In response to developments in international trade and an increased focus on international transfer-pricing issues, Canada's minister of finance announced in the 1997 budget that the Department of Finance would undertake a review of the transfer-pricing provisions in the Income Tax Act. On September 11, 1997, the Department of Finance released draft transfer-pricing legislation and Revenue Canada released revised draft Information Circular 87-2R. The legislation was subsequently amended and included in Bill C-28, which received first reading on December 10, 1997. The new rules are intended to update Canada's international transfer-pricing practices. In particular, they attempt to harmonize the standards in the Income Tax Act with the arm's-length principle established in the OECD's transfer pricing guidelines. The new rules also set out contemporaneous documentation requirements in respect of cross-border related-party transactions, facilitate administration of the law by Revenue Canada, and provide for a penalty where transfer prices do not comply with the arm's-length principle. The Australian tax authorities have similarly reviewed and updated their transfer-pricing practices. Since 1992, the Australian commissioner of taxation has issued three rulings and seven draft rulings directly relating to international transfer pricing. These rulings outline the selection and application of transfer pricing methodologies, documentation requirements, and penalties for non-compliance. The Australian Taxation Office supports the use of advance pricing agreements (APAs) and has expanded its audit strategy by conducting transfer-pricing risk assessment reviews. This article presents a detailed review of Australia's transfer-pricing policy and practices, which address essentially the same concerns as those at which the new Canadian rules are directed. This review provides a framework for comparison of the approaches adopted in the two jurisdictions. The author concludes that although these approaches differ in some respects, ultimately they produce a similar result. Both regimes set a clear standard to be met by multinational enterprises in establishing transfer prices. Both provide for audits and penalties in the event of noncompliance. And both offer the alternative of an APA as a means of avoiding transfer-pricing disputes with Australian and Canadian tax authorities.

EastEnders star Samantha Womack has said posing for lads' mags in the early days of her career was "degrading".
Womack, 40, said she was too young at 18 to understand the repercussions. The married mother-of-two, who returns to the BBC1 soap tonight, said: "The period with the whole ladette thing I felt I was being objectified.
"But that was my own fault for being young and too silly to have an idea of the kind of photos I was doing.
"I'm very pro-women and I love women being sexy but there were some photos I did which were quite degrading."Reuse content

High School Friend to Aguilar and Bravo Speaks Out
Published September 26th, 2012
Loading Video...
ALACHUA COUNTY - A close friend of both Christian Aguilar and Pedro Bravo spoke to TV20 Wednesday.
As TV20's Alex de Armas reports, the friend would never have seen something like this coming from Bravo, who he describes as the opposite of aggressive.
"Christian was just…he was someone that would just come into class with a smile on his face," said Andres Barbieto. "He would always have a great sense of humor. He was the nicest guy you could find."
But now Chris can't be found, and Bravo is suspected in his disappearance.
"It's not something that's easy to believe," said Barbieto.
Barbeito attends the same Miami high school from which both Chris and Pedro graduated from in June.
"Pedro wasn't a bad guy either," Barbieto said. "If anything, he was a pushover…like if people needed something from him."
Barbeito told TV20 that they were both good students and spent a lot of time together.
"They were good friends, they really were. A lot of people just because of the situation think that they weren't close friends but they really were…they always hung out," Barbieto said.
Barbeito can only stay a day to search for his friend. But people from Miami are continuing to come to Gainesville to help.
"We just need to spread the word around," he said. "We need as much help as possible…today we had less amount of people than yesterday so I mean, as more days pass by it looks worse and worse. We just need more people that's just pretty much it."
Despite rumors that volunteers are being turned away, Gainesville Police Spokesman Ben Tobias said that isn't true.
All agencies and individuals that want to volunteer are encourgaed to help.
Both state and federal agencies are working behind the scenes to help direct the search.

ICT offers an untapped potential to improve the management of water resources by integrating real-time knowledge about water consumption at domestic, corporate and city level, and by enabling subsequently the implementation of efficient resource and demand management strategies and pricing schemes.
Targeted outcomes:
The aim is to pilot and demonstrate innovative ICT systems and services for efficient water use and reuse, in order to improve household, business and societal awareness, to induce changes in consumer behavior and to enable the introduction of innovative resource and demand management schemes and adaptive pricing incentives.
Key research challenges to be addressed include:
a) Providing quantifiable evidence of the potential of ICT to contribute to efficient water resources management by increasing household, business and industry awareness regarding water use, triggering the adoption of new demand management and pricing schemes, and contributing to meeting EU resource efficiency targets in a digital society.
b) Validating ICT-enabled innovations in real-life operational settings with the active involvement of stakeholders and end users from the water and the ICT domain; demonstrating in public the ICT potential for efficient water use, assessing its impact at domestic, corporate or municipality level, and exploring possible business case scenarios.
Projects should cover: (i) new ICT research and/or innovative integration of ICT-enabled solutions for water resources management at domestic, public/private building industry and/or city level, (ii) substantial validation of the proposed ICT solutions in at least two real-life operational environments, over a sufficient period of time to cover seasonal variations, and with the involvement of real users from the responsible water operators, households and the ICT industry, (iii) assessment of impact of the proposed solutions and preparation of a business case including open access options and possible take-up activities, and iv) a final dissemination event, including a public demonstration and a "hands-on" training of targeted users.
Funding schemes:
Indicative budget distribution
STREP EUR 14 million
Relevant challenge: 6. ICT for a low carbon economy
1 comments
I think it's very important to continue investigating and investing money in projects related to water resources. Water has always been a necessary and indispensable to live.
In my view the company as director http://tierrasinai.com I have to say that we need to educate people, people need to know how to use the water.
If we can improve this point we can move much.

This week's Pac-12 schedule falls between last week's North showdown between Stanford and Oregon and next week's South battle between UCLA and Arizona State. But all six games are compelling in their own way. On to the picks:
Friday's game
Washington at UCLA, 7 p.m. MST, ESPN2
Washington has recovered by beating California and Colorado, but now the Huskies return to the conference's upper tier, where they have not fared as well. UCLA needs to win to stay on track for next week's meeting with Arizona State. I just don't trust the Huskies on the road. UCLA 31, Washington 21.<

Growth Groups are small groups who meet regularly to share, study, serve, and support one another. Spiritual growth happens best and most often in the context of community.
Bethel enjoys a great variety of growth groups with many forming as gender specific or stage in life related groups. Think: women, men, young professional, newly married, etc. Every year we hear stories of life transformation through groups meeting in Student Ministry, Men's Fraternity, Women's Studies, 20s and 30s just to name a few.
How do I join a Growth Group?
First, check out our latest list of current groups looking for new members. Then, connect with Megyn by letting her know you want to join a group. When you email Megyn you can let her know which group you want to join and she'll help walk you through that process. If you don't find a group that seems to "fit," let us know and we'll help you find a place to connect. You can also write "Growth Group" on your response card and drop it into an offering box and one of our staff will contact you.
What do Growth Groups study?
We encourage Growth Groups to use the sermon study guide found each week in our Bethel Weekly for their time of study. Knowing the needs of their group, some Growth Groups spend a season studying a specific topic or life skill (such as FPU or parenting).
To see the current Growth Group homework, visit our sermons page.
How do I start or lead a Growth Group?
If you are looking for a place to invest in others we would love the opportunity to visit with you. Our process will include training, equipping, and tools to make sure that leading a group is a fruitful ministry for you and those you serve. Growth Groups provide an excellent environment for making disciples of Jesus.
Contact Pastor Craig Johnson for more information about leading a Growth Group.
What are some of the benefits of being in a Growth Group?
Our experience has shown that those who are involved in some sort of smaller group at Bethel are more likely to have a growing relationship with Jesus and a sense of belonging in the church including our Adult Bible Fellowships. When believers operate in community with a commitment to one another and to the Gospel, lives are changed.
We encourage these values in every small group at Bethel:
- Continue to be enriched in the Word through prayer and Bible study.
- Comfort one another as restorative companions, true friends.
- Conduct life in a way that keeps outsiders in mind – always externally focused so they can see Christ.
Ed Stetzer and his team have recently published some statistics and research to help us quantify this idea that life change is happening best and most in a group. These stats are from Transformational Groups.
People actively involved in groups exhibit more spiritual growth than those who are not. – Ed Stetzer
- 67% of regular group attenders read their Bible regularly versus only 27% among non-group members.
- 64% of regular group attenders pray for their church and/or church leaders regularly. Only 30% of non-group attenders do.
- 82% of group attenders pray for fellow Christians versus 54% of non-group attenders.
- 79% of group attenders confess sins to God and ask forgiveness. 54% of non-group attenders do this.
How are the groups different?
We've found that healthy groups have each of the following four elements. Over time, a group will naturally seem to focus on one of these areas more than others so we encourage the groups to know their purpose and to lean into it.
- Formation/ Study (primary goal is teaching and study)
- Connection (primary goal is connecting believers in biblical community)
- Mission (primary goal is the group serving on mission together)
- Invitational (primary goal is inviting non–believers to the group)

Curious George STEM
Active learning begins with curiosity! The Curious George STEM Collection is a great way to help young children understand science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts, such as measuring, building, and simple machines. Lesson plans with Curious George videos offer hands-on investigations and exciting new learning opportunities that will inspire children to explore the world around them. As students ask questions, predict outcomes, share observations, and formulate theories, they establish the science skills and "habits of mind" that lead to academic success and lifelong learning. You may also want to check out the interactive whiteboard games specifically designed for teachers!
Curious George: Blast Off!
Curious George is the only one who can restock the International Space Station with supplies, which means he's going up to space in a rocket! After students watch the video, they build and launch their own air-powered rockets, which they test and retest to determine the best design.
Grades: PreK-4,13+
Curious George: Build a Wall
Curious George tries to build a wall to keep the cows from munching on a flowerbed. He uses newspapers attached to a clothesline, but will they be strong enough to keep Leslie Cow and her friends away? Students explore various building materials as they plan, construct, and then test out their own walls.

Students explore various building materials as they plan, construct, and then test out their own walls.
Grades: PreK-4,13+
Curious George: Pigeon Perch
Curious George wants to make Compass the pigeon the perfect perch so the bird can feel right at home. But it takes a lot of research to figure out how to build a tall object that won't collapse. Students learn about the design process by researching their ideas outdoors, experimenting with what it takes to make a tall object stand upright and be stable, then comparing and documenting their work.
Grades: PreK-4,13+
Curious George: Ramp-n-Roll
Curious George and the cat, Gnocchi, can easily climb out through a window in the basement when the door closes behind them. Now George must figure out how to build a ramp so that Hundley, a little dachshund, can get out, too. Before watching the Curious George video, students play with ramps and things that roll in order to understand simple machines. Afterwards, they conduct additional experiments with ramps.
Grades: PreK-4,13+
Curious George: Sort It Out!
Sort the dogs into different groups with Curious George. This video focuses on classifying objects by various attributes, sorting, and counting.
Grades: PreK-1
Curious George: Sail a Boat
Curious George sees treasures where others see trash. He transforms his "junk" collection into a masterpiece—reusing and recycling items from the street. Will the mayor declare George and his friends the winners of Pretty City Day? Using materials that might have otherwise been discarded, children reuse them to make and sail a boat. They also learn about how air can make an object move.
Grades: PreK-4,13+
Curious George: Tool Time
Curious George needs to use his camping skills after a storm knocks out the electricity that powers the Doorman's van. He uses a mallet to build a shelter, a lighter to start a fire, and sticks to cook hot dogs. After children explore what tools are, who uses them, and how the design of a tool matches its function, they play a game in which they match (and categorize) tools used by different professions. Children then imagine a job they'd like to do someday and a tool they might use.
Grades: PreK-1,13+
Curious George: Measure Up
Problem solve about how to measure a building with Curious George. This video focuses on different ways to measure a large object using standard and nonstandard units.
Grades: PreK-2
Curious George: Five Senses
Explore how people and other animals use the five senses to learn about the world around them in a video excerpt from Curious George: Oh Deer. Follow George and his friend, Bill, as they use the five senses to search for a way to keep deer from eating the garden flowers. Then celebrate with George and Bill as they find a solution to the problem by using the sense of taste. After watching the video, have children identify and record mystery items by using their five senses––smelling, touching, seeing, hearing, and tasting.
Grades: PreK-1

The Most Popular Computer Software for Business
Posted Tuesday, Jul 21, 2009 by Allen B. Ury
If you are planning to have a career anywhere in the business world, there are several commonly used computer programs you need to master. Because most North American businesses use some version of the Windows operating system, all of these programs are either produced by Microsoft or are compatible with Microsoft/IBM technology.
Here are the "must-know" programs with which you must have some experience before applying for a job in a business environment:
* Microsoft Word. The world's most popular word processing application, Word is used for everything from writing simple memos to creating complex sales proposals. With Word you can create, edit and preserve content in a wide selection of fonts; insert comments; create tables; alphabetize lists; automatically populate tables of content; and even insert photos, graphics and illustrations. Although other word processing applications (e.g. Corel's Word Perfect) are available, Microsoft Word is currently the "industry standard" for business use.
* Microsoft Excel. This is the most commonly used electronic "spreadsheet" program, one used for arranging and manipulating data in easy-to-read columns and rows. Excel is often used for creating mailing lists, for tracking sales, maintaining inventory and similar functions. Because it allows the user to quickly perform addition and other mathematical functions on large groups of numbers, Excel is often used for accounting and project management.
* Microsoft Outlook. Outlook is used primarily for creating, sending, receiving and storing email. It also has an integrated calendar function that allows you to schedule appointments and meetings and send these directly to another Outlook user for automatic entry into their calendar.
* Microsoft PowerPoint. Although Apple's Keynote application is a powerful program gaining in popularity, PowerPoint is still the "industry standard" for creating electronic "slideshows" that businesses use for sales proposals, reports, instruction manuals and other presentations that have strong visual components. PowerPoint allows you to create professional-looking graphs and pie charts as well as graphics and limited animation and even sound effects to presentations.
* Microsoft Visio. If you plan to do any work in project management or computer programming, knowing Visio can be very helpful. This program is used to create "flow charts" that visually represent how operations happen in a step-by-step fashion. Because Visio is a Microsoft program, the resulting flow charts can be copied and "pasted" into work produced by other Microsoft applications such as Word and PowerPoint.
