The idea that some phenotypes bear a closer relationship to the biological processes that give rise to psychiatric illness than diagnostic categories has attracted considerable interest. Much effort has been devoted to finding such endophenotypes, partly because it is believed that the genetic basis of endophenotypes will be easier to analyse than that of psychiatric disease. This belief depends in part on the assumption that the effect sizes of genetic loci contributing to endophenotypes are larger than those contributing to disease susceptibility, hence increasing the chance that genetic linkage and association tests will detect them. We examine this assumption by applying meta-analytical techniques to genetic association studies of endophenotypes. We find that the genetic effect sizes of the loci examined to date are no larger than those reported for other phenotypes. A review of the genetic architecture of traits in model organisms also provides no support for the view that the effect sizes of loci contributing to phenotypes closer to the biological basis of disease is any larger than those contributing to disease itself. While endophenotype measures may afford greater reliability, it should not be assumed that they will also demonstrate simpler genetic architecture.

Students with a bachelor's degree in social work can find opportunities working in schools, corporations, or in the social services sector. Analysis is based on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their motivation. In dysfunctional families, children must learn to cope with unbearable situations, and often develop classical psychological symptoms. Social workers, in turn, will attempt to identify destructive behavior and emotions, and select suitable therapy.
Humanistic Therapy emphasizes people's capacity to make rational choices and develop to their maximum potential. Alternatively, social work programs help families change by emphasizing their concern, care and interest. Family Therapy is a form of psychotherapy where clients can work with one or more counselors. This methods is a popular format for support groups, where family members can learn from each other.

How was school today? Now disabled pupils can tell the story
Nicole Vallery is, according to her mother, a chatterbox who comes home from school desperate to talk about her day. But for the 11-year-old girl, who has cerebral palsy, making herself understood can sometimes be impossible.
However, she and her family are now finally able to hold a natural conversation, using artificial intelligence technology that tracks Nicole's day and translates it into a story for her to tell when she comes home.
How Was School Today?, a computer system equipped with sensors and recording devices, has been developed by scientists at Dundee and Aberdeen universities to allow disabled youngsters to communicate as naturally as possible.
Nicole's mother, Jan, said that talking to her daughter had been very difficult. "Nicole is a chatterbox and she would…

Market Insights: Waiting on the world to changeContributor Dr. David Kelly
Citing "recent global economic and financial developments" that might restrain economic activity and put further downward pressure on inflation, the Federal Reserve (Fed) held interest rates flat at its September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. The decision was not shocking – polls of analysts suggested a split view on whether the Fed would raise rates or not. Nor should the decision have a significant impact on US economic activity. However, the rationale behind the Fed's decision, as enunciated in its statement, its economic forecasts and the Fed chair's press conference, does suggest an even slower lift-off and more halting pattern of rate increases going forward, pointing to lower interest rates in the short run and an increased risk of economic overheating in the long run.
The rationale for inaction
Since its meeting in March of this year, the FOMC statement has suggested a lift-off in interest rates would come when the Fed had "seen further improvement in the labor market" and was "reasonably confident that inflation would move back to its 2% objective in the medium term." A decline in the unemployment rate from 5.5% in February to 5.1% in August and a slight rise in the core CPI inflation rate from 1.7% year-over-year (y/y) in February to 1.8% y/y in August would seem to have met these criteria and logically might have led the Fed to increase rates for the first time in nine years at its meeting this week. However, in its statement, the Fed noted, "Recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near term." In addition, at her press conference, Fed chair Janet Yellen explicitly mentioned heightened concerns about growth in China and other emerging markets as well as the deflationary influence of some further appreciation in the dollar.
The Fed's new forecasts, while boosting estimates of economic growth in 2015, reduce growth projections for 2016 and 2017. In addition, these forecasts, while assuming an unemployment rate of 5.0% for the fourth quarter of this year (down from a 5.3% projection in June), show only a very modest further drop to 4.8% by the end of 2016, and then hold at that level until the end of 2018. The forecasts also show only a slow acceleration in PCE (personal consumption expenditures) inflation, from an energy-depressed 0.4% y/y in the fourth quarter of 2015 to 1.7% by the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2.0% by the fourth quarter of 2018. In its new projections for interest rates, the members of the FOMC now expect only one rate hike (of 0.25%) in 2015, compared to a previous expectation of two, although they still expect four rate hikes in 2016.
Monetary policy outlook
Although Yellen stressed, in answer to reporters' questions, that the majority of the FOMC still expect a first rate hike in 2015, today's decision casts considerable doubt on that forecast as well as the path of short-term interest rates thereafter. Under the old guidance, a falling unemployment rate was supposed to both trigger a start to rate hikes and maintain the Fed on a path of 25 basis point increases at roughly every second meeting. The unemployment rate has come down at a very steady pace for the last six years, and analysts assuming a continuation of this trend could also assume a gradual path of Fed tightening. However, the clear message of the Fed's inaction today is that both the initiation and pace of monetary tightening will also depend on global growth and financial market stability, which the Fed has little power to influence and probably less to forecast. This being the case, it is quite possible that some other event will occur between now and the end of the year to postpone a lift-off in rates until 2016, and that Fed tightening could easily stall after it has started due to another temporary bout of market volatility. Indeed, the numerous events that have caused market volatility in recent years probably make it more likely than not that the Fed will not achieve the five rate hikes that it envisages between now and the end of 2016.
Investment implications
The Fed's decision not to raise interest rates at its September meeting will likely have little effect on the US economic outlook in the short run. Indeed, raising interest rates from very low levels might well have stimulated economic growth by boosting household interest income more than interest expense, by giving households and businesses a reason to borrow and invest ahead of further rate hikes and by reducing uncertainty. A rate rise would not have damaged the housing market, which is constrained by the unaffordability of down payments rather than mortgage payments. It is also an entirely open question as to whether it would have boosted the dollar – the last three times the Fed initiated a rate hike cycle, the dollar rose in anticipation of the first increase and then fell in the six months that followed. The US economy appeared to be on a slow and steady upward path before the Fed meeting and remains on that path in its aftermath. It should be noted, however, that an even later lift-off in rates could delay reaching the tipping point at which rates begin to slow economic growth until well after aggregate demand has outstripped aggregate supply and thus produced higher inflation.
Regardless of economic impacts, the Fed's rationale for its decision does suggest a slower general increase in interest rates, limiting bond market losses and potentially producing gains in some areas. It could also boost emerging market assets if investors feel less urgency to move money ahead of a more general flow of capital to the United States. Finally, it could limit US equity market gains. While the Fed cited volatility as one of its reasons for not raising rates at this meeting, increased uncertainty about the Fed will likely increase volatility and thus hurt US stocks even as the Fed itself, satisfied with US progress, nevertheless waits on the world to change.

Today we went to the doctor and we've got some baby news to share. First... check out this cutie. I'm loving that nose!
And here's the news... any guesses on if it is a boy or girl?
If you were able to figure out what you were looking at, I'm sure you know it is a BOY! I don't think there is a doubt on this one. We've had friends get a 60%, 75%, 80% chance that it is a ______ (fill in the blank), but not us!
Anyway, more importantly, the sonagrapher and doctor said that everything looks good. We were able to see his stomach, all four chambers of the heart beating, feet kicking, and him sucking on a hand. It was awesome. We feel extremely excited and blessed!

Do you realize that becoming a parent transforms your entire life? I don't think I fully comprehended that until the first time I held my DS in my arms. You are emotions are overflowing and you can't imagine that something so precious has been entrusted to you.
When my kids were small I thought life was hard. There was after all the terrible two's, potty training, teaching them to ride their bike, read and so much more. I loved every minute of it. There is nothing like the curiosity of a three year old as you go on a nature walk - they notice everything and I mean everything. Many discussions will come from why the worms are on the sidewalk after a rain and why do the leaves change colour in the fall.
At the same time there is this feeling of momma bear that kicks in once you have children. You are trying to protect them from the world, prevent all the owchies. The house becomes 'child proofed', all to prevent needless accidents; and when they get their first owchie it's a big event filled with crying and hugs and kisses. We teach our children about safety and not to talk to strangers. There is a lot of worry on a parent to keep their child safe, but at this young tender age you feel that you can prevent most of them and if you can't they can hopefully be fixed with a little TLC.
When I look back now I see that these were the easiest of my child rearing days. Now when my child is hurt it's generally not something that I as a mom cannot 'fix'. I'm there for a hug and a shoulder to cry on when they come home from school crying because they've been called some terrible name. The world is a harsh place sometimes and it's hard to see your children subjected to the cruelty of others. Gone are the days when a simple 'band-aid' and a Popsicle could fix the problems. How do you explain to a teenager that they are beautiful, when the rest of the peers tell them otherwise - just to be cruel? I long for the days when the problems were a fall of a bike or a nightmare at 3 a.m.
After a lengthy discussion with some older ladies I know I came to the realization that I am not yet in the most difficult path of a parent. No, it would seem that it never ends for us parents. Eventually the children are older, teens and young adults finally - they are making their own decisions now. As a parent you are there to offer your advice and as good as it is and as mature as they are - they can now choose to listen or to do things their way.
How then, do you help the child who is now dealing with their own 'big problems', divorce, death of a child, financial hardships and more? I've watched some people dealing with these situations and from a parent's perspective - they feel totally helpless.
No what I realize now is that the worry of a parent is never ending and that the love you feel for them the first time you held them in your arms will never fade away. Instead just like the love I feel for my husband it grows stronger and stronger each day. No matter how bad things get or how horribly my teenage kids sometimes treat me, when they are hormones are raging - I LOVE them.
Being a parent isn't an easy task but as much as it is filled with worry and concern it is also filled with joy and happiness. You will be blessed with God's abundant blessings each and every day. From the excited joy of a three year old exclaiming at the site of a caterpillar to a teenager who wants to be with you on New Year's Eve having a family game night instead of out partying with friends.
I'm writing this after having a bad morning with my 13 yo dd, whose hormones were sky high and tempers flared and many hurtful things said. I have faith in God and in her that this too shall pass and one day she'll grow into a wonderful lady and perhaps a mother herself. I found this poem on the Internet and it is Author Unknown so I'll share it with you.
From God with Love
~Author Unknown~
Children are a blessing sent from God above
For us to care and nurture and most of all to love.
God calls us to be parents and gives us all the tools
And when we feel like giving up, our strength He will renew.
Children are a gift from God that He so freely lends
To make it through the childhood years, on Him we must depend.
He must have a presence, you see it must take three
The parents, child and Christ at the center to be a family.
From childhood days to a child full grown
Their joys and hurts are a parent's own.
Times of joy and laughter and those times of tears
The times spent raising a child are surely the best of years.
There comes that time in life when a child will leave the nest
We must send them off with love and a prayer and leave to God the rest.
We've have shared the Word of God, we've taught them right from wrong
Now it's time to let them go and let them write their song.
The faith instilled, the examples lived, and the lessons taught
All gifts that we've given our child, which will never be forgotten.
There are many paths a child can take, right or wrong will remain unknown
But rest assured that in the end, they all lead back to home.

January 13, 2011 – Revolutionary advances in computers and electronic media and storage have changed the game for insurers and others who count on being able to gather and preserve data and images related to insurable events.
The downside of this trend, however, is that electronic media — devices, drives, etc.— may be fragile when it comes to protecting the data amid what are often adverse conditions, such as storms, earthquakes, floods and the like.

I was looking for a new trail bike to ride (ktm 2t) and may have fallen on a good to great deal. A guy I work with will sell me his 04 yz450f all stock for a $1000 with about 40 hrs. on it. I beleive this to be a very good deal. He has not started the bike in over two years. I am looking for basic info for maint. (oils, filters, Carb cleaning) and tips to set up the bike for trail riding in MI. I am not a 4t guy I have very little smarts about these bikes other than valve adjustments. I have always had 2t when I rode back in the early 90's. I'm looking to do more trail riding over mx but that may happen every so often. As for the woods set up I am 6ft 300lb 44years old and not in good shape yet. Hope you can help me out THANKS jim
2t guy may become 4t guy need help
stick with 2 stroke lighter, easier maint, cheaper, funner. Trust me I have both.
$1000 for a good shape YZ450 is worth looking into espacially for what we have in Michigan. I have an 06 so I am not sure about the 4 speed, but gearing is important...I went with 13/51 and I like it with my 5 speed transmission. michelin S12's hold up well, flywheel weight, steering stabilizer, and big tank, bark busters and you are good to go provided the bike is sprung for your weight. As far as suspension, i would go to Tech Care or someone in Michigan that knows how to set your bike up for you. These make good woods bikes with great power.
Oil changes/air filter religiously (every 5 to 7 hours) I agree on maintenance - plan on a top end rebuild after 100 more hours or so, but overall my bike has been very reliable.
I am also looking at a two-stroke as a second bike, but not sure if I would want to replace my 450...love the power and user-friendliness of the motor.
Hope this helps...
Can anyone give advise on a quiet spark arrester for this bike.

pro moto billet makes a end cap with a spark arrestor for about 100 dollars
stick with 2 stroke lighter, easier maint, cheaper, funner. Trust me I have both.
A well maintained 4t will outlast a well maintained 2t.
That's a good deal. You could always sell it for what you paid for it. BUY IT and if you don't like it sell it for what you paid or more.
The YZF is a very reliable machine. Maintenance on these bikes can be less critical than other brands because the YZF valve train is rock solid AND you will mostly be riding trail. Have had two strokes myself for years but now have this thumper for the last year. Never a problem.
A well maintained 4t will outlast a well maintained 2t.
agreed, but when it comes time for a new topend, the 2t is muuuuch cheaper and easier.
agreed, but when it comes time for a new topend, the 2t is muuuuch cheaper and easier.
Easier? Yes. Cheaper? Not by much if its a 250/300 smoker vs. 450F or 250F. 125 top ends are cheap.
Is it better to go with a spark arrester end cap or slip on and far as keeping it quiet. I have hrd these bikes are load.
If the bike is complete thats a helluva deal. The bikes are not that loud unless you are really getting on them. My 250F has dual Jardines and is not that loud atleast not with my helmet on...
Where you located?
I would like to get some mid-Michigans guys together for a rideday. I know we still have a foot of snow but we need to start planning...
Yes the bikes complete and all stock. The guy I work with said his wife will not let the son ride she do not want him to get hurt so he's selling. I am in the Birch Run Frankenmuth area.
You will love the 04 YZ. I've had mine for 5 years now, with no problems or regrets. Keep up on oil changes and basic upkeep and the YZ will be as reliable as a trail bike. The only down side might be the 4 speed trans. It's not a problem on the track, but on the trails I find myself wishing for that 5th gear every now and again. Oh yeah, and it eats rear tires.
Easier? Yes. Cheaper? Not by much if its a 250/300 smoker vs. 450F or 250F. 125 top ends are cheap.
Yeah, I would agree. I just did the top end on my yz426, and I got an eBay top end kit for around $160, but I think the top ends in these bikes last for hundreds of hours unless you're a serious racer. The cam chains do need to be replaced more often, but for the newer bikes they are pretty cheap. (under $20, I think) I've read alot of posts where guys with 400's and 426's are just now replacing their top ends. I have no idea how many hours was on mine or if it was still stock, but I could still see cross hatching on the cylinder walls.
I did read an article about the Pro Circuit team, where Mitch Payton said that when they went to the four stroke, it increase the team's costs by about four times. But, they are replacing the motors weekly during the outdoor season, and probably every other race on the supercross side. (maybe every race for the 250's)
But, for the average rider, you will get alot of life out of a top end, so I don't know how much more expensive it actually is. Maybe someone else will chime in with specifics on their long term costs.
i have an 04 450 and love it. (i also have a yz250 and it just sits). i run the stock exhaust and it is not too loud, my riding buddies say it is not bad at all when behind me and cannot be heard over their own machines. it does sound absolutely beautiful from my saddle though.
regarding the 'dreaded' 4 spd- I too was nervous about it but now i love it. i ride about 75% of the time in 2nd or 3rd and rarely shift. Just lay on the power and roll off from corner to corner. if you rap out 4th and are looking for 5th you have to be flying- i believe 4th winds out about 75mph on stock gearing. I picked up a couple of teeth on the rear to help 2nd down low and have no regrets. the bike is powerful enough that 2nd will pull massively from no speed what so ever.
i keep the oil super fresh, the air filter spotlessly clean, the chain clean and lubed and have no problems. it does eat tires up but what 450 does not?
GET IT i have 2009 with 200 hours keep air filter clean change oil every 5 rides it will last
agreed, but when it comes time for a new topend, the 2t is muuuuch cheaper and easier.
Yes, but chances are that he'll never have to do the top end on the 4-stroke. I've personally seen plenty of yz400f's still ticking just fine on the original top end. Happened to own a yz400f for about a year too that was on the original top end, checked the valves once and were still within spec. For the average weekend rider a well maintained 4-stroke will last nearly forever on the stock internals. With honda 4-strokes being the exception, of course.... lol
I found a DR. D spark arrestor endd cap for $100 any buddy heard anything bad on them.

Perry, along with Florida Governor Rick Scott have adopted the stance that participation in the expansion would 'strain state budgets'.
Except that nearly every other analysis, including that of the Congressional Budget Office shows that it just isn't so...
"Shortly after the Supreme Court ruled that states can choose whether to adopt the health reform law's Medicaid expansion to cover low-income parents and other adults, some governors declared that they will forgo the expansion, claiming it would place a heavy financial burden on their states.[1] Claims that states will bear a substantial share of the costs of expanding Medicaid, however, and that the expansion would drain state budgets do not hold up under scrutiny."
"The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the Medicaid expansion will add very little to what states would have spent on Medicaid without health reform, while providing health coverage to 17 million more low-income adults and children. In addition, the Medicaid expansion will reduce state and local government costs for uncompensated care and other services they provide to the uninsured, which will offset at least some — and in a number of states, possibly all or more than all — of the modest increase in state Medicaid costs. Expanding Medicaid is thus a very favorable financial deal for states."
"CBO estimates show that the federal government will bear nearly 93 percent of the costs of the Medicaid expansion over its first nine years (2014-2022). The federal government will pick up 100 percent of the cost of covering people made newly eligible for Medicaid for the first three years (2014-2016) and no less than 90 percent on a permanent basis."
"The additional cost to the states represents a 2.8 percent increase in what they would have spent on Medicaid from 2014 to 2022 in the absence of health reform, the CBO estimates indicate.
This 2.8 percent figure significantly overstates the net impact on state budgets because it does not reflect the savings that state and local governments will realize in other health care spending for the uninsured. The Urban Institute has estimated that overall state savings in these areas will total between $26 and $52 billion from 2014 through 2019. The Lewin Group estimates state and local government savings of $101 billion in uncompensated care."
"Other independent analyses show similar or even more favorable results for states. An Urban Institute analysis finds that state Medicaid expenditures would likely increase by 1.4 percent over what states would otherwise spend on the program from 2014 through 2019, before taking offsetting savings in uncompensated care and other health services into account, while the Lewin Group estimates an increase in state Medicaid expenditures of 1.1 percent over that period. These estimates reflect the increased state costs for Medicaid but not the offsetting savings states will also secure in uncompensated care and other health services."
"Critics argue that state budgets will be hit hard by the costs of extending Medicaid to people who are already eligible for the program but unenrolled under current state rules, but will enroll as a result of health reform. States will receive the standard federal Medicaid matching rate for covering these individuals (57 percent, on average), which is well below the 93 percent average federal match noted above for people whom the Affordable Care Act makes newly eligible for Medicaid. But the CBO, Urban Institute, and Lewin Group estimates all account for the cost to states of covering the already-eligible individuals who will enroll. CBO's 93 percent average federal share of the Medicaid expansion's costs and the estimate that state Medicaid costs will rise just 2.8 percent on average — and the even lower Urban Institute and Lewin estimates of state costs — reflect this cost.
Moreover, health reform's other provisions, such as the individual responsibility requirement to have health coverage (sometimes referred to as the "individual mandate") and the measures to simplify Medicaid enrollment procedures, will remain in place under the Supreme Court decision. These provisions will themselves boost enrollment among those already eligible for Medicaid regardless of whether states take up the expansion. Thus, the additional cost to states of expanding Medicaid to cover more low-income people is smaller than the CBO and other estimates would indicate, because those estimates don't distinguish the increased costs due to higher enrollment of already-eligible individuals that will occur from the other features of the bill from the increase in cost and enrollment that may result just from the Medicaid expansion."
"In short, the Medicaid expansion will cover 17 million low-income people at a very modest cost to states — a cost that will be at least partly offset by savings in uncompensated care and other state-funded services for the uninsured."
"A state's decision not to go ahead with the Medicaid expansion, despite this extremely favorable financing, would have adverse consequences for many poor individuals and families without health insurance."
Failure to adopt expansion of the Medicaid benefit is as fiscally short sighted as it is morally indefensible.

Find information about California College of the Arts preparation, and registering for discussion sections and department seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Consult with an academic advisor, to ensure that your chosen classes constitute a full-time course load, and fulfills major requirements. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and California College of the Arts advanced placement exam information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for California College of the Arts.
For multiple-choice tests like the SAT Test or ACT Exam, look at the number of questions and the total number of minutes you're allowed. If there are more minutes than questions, you have over a minute for each. However, if there are more questions than minutes, you better scramble, as you have under a minute on each question. Round off all numbers you see, and look for tips in the test questions that point you to the correct answer. Look for word patterns in the vocabulary section, and in the math section, saving just a few seconds on each test question can lead to a much higher math score.
Exams are a huge portion of your final grade, and every professor will let you know in their own way which questions will be on the final exam. They may raise the pitch of their voice when stressing certain points, show slide presentations, or write course material on the blackboard. On the test day itself, arrive early after a good night's sleep, and pick a seat near the windows in order to get sunlight and oxygen. Trust your first instincts, and don't change your mind on a second pass. Beyond degree requirements such as California College of the Arts test preparation, you may consider Thomas Aquinas College ACT scores for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Textbook delivery and bookstore services have become a prominent issue for college and university CFOs, likely due in part to increasing attention to the rising cost of textbooks from students, their families, accreditation committees, and state governments.
The question remains, can the competitive and technical challenges of serving student needs and improving student outcomes be met by the current on-campus bookstore model, particularly in an increasingly online world?
To better understand the scope of this issue, we are excited to release the results of our 2015 College CFO Survey on Textbook Delivery and Bookstore Services in this exclusive report.
|Click here to download
Highlights of the survey include CFOs reporting that:
- Students are increasingly turning away from campus-based bookstores in favor of third-party providers (93% confirmed this trend).
- Access to high-quality, low-cost textbooks is the most important service institutions can provide regarding the sale of textbooks.
- 96% stated that textbook costs are impacting student retention and persistence
- Nearly all respondents indicated that textbook sales have been flat or down over the past three years.
- Plus, much more

300+ HP Civic With Turbo And Blow Off Valve-Dyno
This is a video that I made of a 300+ horsepower turbo Civic on the Dyno. The civic had a pretty big turbo and blow off valve on it and produced a crazy sound (that can be heard when the Dyno driver redlines the car in 4th gear). I am a Civic fan, and have seen some fast Civics, but this one really impressed me!

Even as Indian IT companies are keen to shun the onus of mandatory social security payments for their Indian employees in the US, calling it a non-tariff barrier to trade, the US has grown insistent on its stance it's an immigration issue and can't be discussed at trade fora.
The difference was reflected in the annual Trade Policy Forum meeting between the two countries earlier this month in which the US side was reluctant to discuss a totalisation agreement to exempt the Indian IT industry from the social security clause. The reluctance of the US trade officials, sources said, has been based on the premise that the issue is now being looked into by the National Security Council.
The council is attached to the office of US President Barack Obama.
The issue is crucial, as some analysts have termed the US policy on social security payments–along with its exorbitant hike of visa fees for working professionals–non-tariff barriers to services trade. They have suggested India explore options of dragging the US to the WTO over these issues. So treating it purely as an immigration issue could somewhat dilute the criticism over the anti-trade nature of the US policy.
The sources said that India's ministry of external affairs is now expected to lead the charge in this matter. Already, officials of the ministry discussed the issue over teleconference with the US on October 20, they added.
The totalisation agreement between India and the US has remained elusive for years now. However, India has signed more than a dozen such agreements with countries, including Germany, France, Japan and Canada.
$1 bn: IT firms spend annually on social security payments for Indian employees in
the US
$22.5 bn: Total taxes Indian IT companies paid in the US between 2011 and 2013
The IT companies are paying around $1 billion a year to comply with the social security norms for their Indian employees in the US, despite the fact that these people don't work there long enough to be eligible for such benefits. A totalisation agreement mainly serves two purposes. First, it removes dual social security taxation, eliminating the possibility of a situation that occurs when a worker from one country works in another country and is required to pay social security taxes to both countries on the same earnings. Second, it helps in "exportability of benefits in case of a relocation to India or any other country" after having made social security contribution during a longer-term employment.
India is already gearing up to challenge the US at the dispute settlement body of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) on the visa issue. The US decision to drastically hike the H-1B and L-1 visa charges late last year is estimated to quadruple the Indian IT industry's annual visa costs to $400 million.
The Indian IT industry has often complained it has been subjected to such anti-trade practices and that its contribution to the US economy is ignored by policy-makers there. According to a Nasscom report released in September last year, Indian IT companies were providing more than 4 lakh jobs in the US, of which around 3 lakh were held by either US citizens or permanent residents. These companies also invested over $2 billion in the 2011-2013 period and paid a staggering $22.5 billion in taxes to the US during those years.

If we had done this separately it would have cost each of us $175 mileage charge plus $165 minimum invoice charge. This way, my 18x24 plate cost me $60 for the work and $43.75 for my quarter share of the mileage charge. What would have cost me $340 doing it alone became $103.75 doing it as a group. That is less than 1/3 the cost of going it alone, and saves the cost of shipping it for calibration and back again, which is expensive and there is also a fair chance of the plate being damaged or ruined in transit.
The plates are all now calibrated to AA standards, none of them have more than 40 millionths repeatability, and some are within 20 millionths. These techs are highly skilled, care about what they do, go way past the minimum requirements, have pride in their work, and are absolutely pleasant to deal with. Three techs came, and they were done and gone in less than an hour and a half, on to their next job.
Getting together with the other machinists was also great fun, as usual.

The integration of biology, genomics, and health has opened the pos- sibility of applying genomics technology to nutrition. In 2001, scientists associated with the Human Genome Project announced the successful mapping of the reference sequence of the human genome. The implications of this achievement to science have been enormous. Since then, a body of information has emerged, including genetic and genomic sequence data, further evidence of nutrient-gene and gene-environment interactions, and the gene expression patterns associated with many chronic diseases. The utility of this information cannot be underestimated. Genomics and related areas of research have contributed greatly to efforts to under- stand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying diet-disease relationships. Integration and application of genetic and genomics technology into nutrition research is, therefore, needed to develop nutrition research programs that are aimed at the prevention and control of chronic dis- ease through genomics-based nutritional interventions. Of interest is the integration of relevant computational methods into nutritional genomics research; the enhancement of tools applicable to systems biology; and the effective dissemination of genomics-derived information to scientists, policy makers, and the interested public. In short, new knowledge, pro- duced from the interface of genetics, genomics, and nutrition science, is key to further developing research to characterize genetic susceptibility to diet-related chronic diseases and molecular responses to dietary factors. To address these issues, a workshop was held on June 1 and 2, 2006, at the National Academy of Sciences. The workshop included a keynote presentation to provide policy context and challenges, and presentations that were structured around three focus sessions: human genetic varia- tion, epigenetics, and systems biology (see Chapters 1 to 3, respectively). A fourth session (Chapter 4) presented discussions on the implications of nutrigenomics for the future of nutrition science research. The workshop agenda is contained in Appendix A, and Appendix B lists the names and affiliations of the workshop presenters. Numerous themes emerged from the workshop presentations. First, nutrigenomics is a complex field because it addresses issues related to multigenetic traits that can be modified by a number of nutritional and other environmental factors. For example, more than 25,000 bioactive food components have been identified, although their modes of interaction and duration of activity are among many questions about these compounds that are still unanswered. Such complexity presents a challenge to the field; and the ensuing research opportunities will require cooperative work among scientific disciplines and across government, academic, and industrial centers, as well as adequate funding, to be realized. Additionally, the ability to stretch the limits of conventional research methodologies afforded by new genetic and genomic applications at the level of the individual opens the door to a wealth of potential benefits to areas such as disease prevention and wellness, bearing in mind the necessity of ethical safeguards. This potential, however, must be wisely exploited to avoid the pitfalls of overpromising research results and pre- maturely setting unrealistic expectations for beneficial outcomes. Finally, careful and rigorous research must be employed to optimize outcomes and assure acceptance by the scientific community. In summary, nutrition science is uniquely poised to serve as the crossroads for many disciplines and, using genomics tools, can bring this knowledge together to bet- ter understand and address diet-related chronic diseases and molecular responses to dietary factors.

AbstractCTI proposes to develop a Class B Automatic Identification System device satisfying two major objectives: hardware cost reduction, so large numbers of smaller boats can be economically equipped; and software enhancement, to convert raw AIS data into decision-quality information, warnings and recommendations, displayed to facilitate rapid comprehension and collision avoidance maneuver by recreational boaters. The GPS receiver and the user interface subsystems can be either integrated with the VHF transceiver unit or externally coupled, enabling exploitation of boaters¿ existing GPS and display units to: reduce cost; minimize size, weight and power requirements on small boats; avoid overwhelming boaters with too many devices and displays competing for their attention while piloting their craft; and thereby overcome boater resistance to deployment. Significant hardware cost reduction and capability enhancement will derive from replacing the multiple VHF receivers and transmitter with a single Software Defined Radio transceiver, capable of simultaneously receiving on 3 channels or transmitting on AIS1 or AIS2. Software will refine AIS GPS data into information and display it suitably per human factors considerations. The results will be improved navigation and collision avoidance, ultimately improving safety and security for boaters, infrastructure and the public.

Ellefson skis way to state Nordic meet
Park Rapids' Summer Ellefson qualified for her fifth consecutive state Nordic girls ski meet by repeating as the Section 8 champion last Wednesday at Camp Ripley.
Ellefson, who competes for the Northwest Independent School, led the 55-skier field with a pursuit time of 36 minutes, 17 seconds. The Park Rapids junior had the fastest time in the 5K classical race at 19:01 and had the fastest time in the 5K freestyle race with a 17:16.
Little Falls senior Manon Gammon-Deering finished second in 36:55 and was followed by Little Falls sophomore Chelsea Rutz in 38:19, Detroit Lakes freshman Berit Ramstad Skoyles in 38:48 and Little Falls freshman Kaitlin Geisenhof in 39:09. Gammon-Deering took second in the classical race with a time of 19:21 and was second in the freestyle race with a time of 17:34.
"I knew that I had a good chance to win sections and qualify for state again as long as I raced up to my potential," said Ellefson. "The conditions were great, but the freezing temperatures made for some really slow snow. Comparing my times to previous years, I was happy with how they were considering this year's conditions."
The state meet will be held Thursday at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. The 5K freestyle race will begin at 10 a.m. followed by the 5K classical race at 1:30 p.m.
Ellefson prepared for the section meet by finishing first in three meets during the regular season.
At the Detroit Lakes Invitational on Jan. 4, Ellefson took first with a time of 32:12.
At the Mesabi East Invitational on Jan. 8, Ellefson finished sixth out of 177 racers in the 5K classical event with a time of 20:12.
Ellefson led the field at the Little Falls Invitational at Camp Ripley with a winning time of 39:00. Ellefson clocked a 20:38 in the classical race and an 18:22 in the freestyle race.
In the final regular-season meet, Ellefson took first at the North Star Conference meet at Itasca State Park on Feb. 1 with a time of 24:22. That meet was a 6.2K classical race.
Ellefson will be looking to continue her successful season and aim for another top 10 finish in her fifth trip to state.
As a seventh grader, Ellefson finished 83rd with a time of 40:48. As an eighth grader, Ellefson moved up to 15th place with a time of 38:56. Ellefson finished 10th as a freshman with a time of 36:07. Last year, Ellefson finished 24th with a time of 36:21.
Ellefson enters the state meet ranked No. 4 in the state. Topping the state rankings are Ely's Amy Bianco, Duluth East's Annie Harvieux and Burnsville's Sharmila Ahmed. Six skiers - Forest Lake's Liz Peterson (eighth), Mound-Westonka's Julia Harrison (11th), Stillwater's Nora Gilbertson (12th), Eagan's Sonja Hedblom (13th), Minneapolis Southwest's Emily Minge (16th) and Roseville's Zoe Reker (17th) - return after placing in the top 20 at last year's state meet.
"I am expecting to be in the top 10 at state, but it would be great to be in the top 5," said Ellefson. "I am pretty confident that I can do this as long as I stay healthy."

When you or someone you know has been in an accident in Huddersfield you might instinctively turn to the local directory of personal injury lawyers for help. However, you can get more success by going further afield.
When you've been hurt in an accident in Huddersfield
Life can seem pretty tough and locating the best lawyer for your needs after an accident in Huddersfield can be challenging. You're searching on a number of parameters: price, skills and experience, to name just a few.
The advantages of this are that you retain control over your own search and you connect with a lawyer who is local to you. If you're lucky you may already know of a law firm that specialises in your type of claim.
The thing is – the chances are you can dramatically increase your chances of a positive result by casting your net a little wider. That only stands to reason as, if you expand your search you'll also increase the pool from which you're making a choice. This in turn gives you a significantly better chance of finding the perfect match.
Who should you choose?
The first thing you should be looking for is experience. You want someone who has expertise in your type of claim. This will improve the level of service they can provide because they will have specific experience of how much compensation you should be aiming for and what evidence you can get to improve your chances of winning.
Going further afield also means you'll have a chance of working with better quality individuals. For example, if you speak to our team at Accident Advice Helpline we'll select a lawyer from our nationwide database meaning it will be the best possible person for your particular case.
When you've been hurt in an accident in Huddersfield, you may feel limited in terms of the cost of your legal fees. Again, by going further afield you can find someone who offers the best deal, both in terms of price and also experience.
Normally when you choose a national firm this is a bit of an issue, because you're never certain what deal you're getting. These organisations are not law firms as such – what they do is forward your details onto another organisation. You may not know which organisation is taking control of your case or how much you'll be charged.
At Accident Advice Helpline you'll know exactly what deal you're getting. That's because no matter who we work with, we always stick by the principle of no win no fee. This means that if we can't help you win your case we won't charge you a single penny. This means you can press ahead and make a claim without worrying what effect it might have on your wallet.
So to find out how we can help after an accident in Huddersfield, call us on 0800 689 0500, or 0333 500 0993 from a mobile.

Worksonpaperart's Profile
I am a visual artist (Bachelor of Arts - Drawing) with a strong interest in botanical and natural history subjects. I also enjoy portraiture.
I love drawing and am never happier than when working on paper with a pencil in hand. My practice is primarily concerned with close observation, fine detail, and the "transformation" which occurs during this often intense process. I find plants in their myriad forms, colours and textures - particularly fascinating.
In 2009 my "Phormium cookianum" (seed pod study) was juried into the prestigious Society of Botanical Artist's Annual Open Exhibition in London UK. I have been a juried entrant at the Margaret Flockton International Award Exhibition (AU) for Scientific Botanical Illustration, the prestigious Canberra Botanical (AU) and the Australian Botanical Art Society's Annual Award Exhibition over several years…
