Vision Source believes that eye doctors have the most success when they have a relationship with the patient and are free to make decisions about what is best for that patient. That's why, although it's a network with more than 2,300 offices across North America, all of its offices are independently owned and operated by family optometrists. Vision Source merely grants these doctors access to its shared expertise and resources.
Its doctors inspect eyes to test for disorders such as glaucoma, cataracts, and the effects of diabetes. They also diagnose retinal tears and repair most types of eye injuries, from embedded foreign bodies to general wear and tear from staring contests with headlights. The doctors use low-vision-therapy devices to help people suffering from degenerative eye diseases, teaching them how to maximize the vision they still have.
For basic services, they inspect eyes for overall eye health and visual acuity before fitting them with contacts and frames from the likes of Fendi, Calvin Klein, and Guess. Since Vision Source is a network of individual doctors, each office is different from the next and tailors its services to fit the needs of the community.
Over the past 63 years, Thoma & Sutton Eyecare has crisscrossed Ohio and Kentucky, planting 20 eyewear outposts across the region. At each optical stronghold, teams of talented opticians examine peepers, determine prescriptions for glasses and contacts, and fit faces with thousands of stylish specs flown in from fashion capitals around the world. Clients can peruse the up-to-date displays, which feature frames from designers such as Coach, Calvin Klein, and Kenneth Cole, before trying on a pair and slipping past a parole office.
For more than 25 years, Play It Again Sports has bedecked kids and adults with high-end, wallet-friendly athletic armor so that they can kick, swing, punt, and take exception to referee calls with gusto. New inventory arrives every day, and the friendly staff can lead quality-seeking shoppers to the top brands lining the spacious storefront shelves, including Taylor Made, Nike, adidas, Easton, and more. Prices vary by item, but you'll have enough credit to purchase many different athletic accouterments. Little sluggers can pair a used baseball glove (starting at $5.99) with its creamy baseball ($1.99 each) center, or sharpen air karate chops with the help of an Easton Little League bat (starting at $19.99). STX AV8 lacrosse sticks ($34.99) give purpose to mad-dash field sprints. Divot devotees can load up on Titanium golf drivers (starting at $19.99) or new putters (starting at $9.99). Otherwise, get started on a collection of P90X workout accessories so that you're prepared to play any sports that appear to you in dreams.
Voted No. 1 in 2012 by the readers of the Akron Beacon Journal, Novus Clinic was born 20 years prior from board-certified ophthalmologist Todd L. Beyer and optometrist Jerry Sude's vision for a one-stop eye-care facility. To bring this idea to fruition, they first recruited a neuro-ophthalmologist and a second optometrist to their team and eventually constructed a 3,800-square-foot surgery center in 1998. The state-of-the-art center was built in response to the voices they heard asking for laser vision-correction procedures such as LASIK and cosmetic treatments. Dr. Beyer, also a certified oculofacial plastic surgeon, began performing face-lifts along with noninvasive skin treatments after he found himself fielding queries from more and more patients about dermal fillers, peels, and laser hair removal.
With the expanding list of offered services, the clinic shed its original title, System Optics, and was reknighted Novus Clinic in 2003. The word novus, which translates to "fresh and exciting" in Latin, more accurately encompasses the clinic's multifaceted approach to ocular and anti-aging treatments. The doctors never forget the primordial soup from which they sprang, though, and still conduct eye exams and keep a venerable inventory of designer frames.
It would take a keen pair of eyes to spot all of the frames on display at Ellet Vision and Jackson Eyecare. With hundreds of options from designers such as Polo, Guess, and Calvin Klein, the stores' staff has no shortage of options to suit every face shape. Along with prescription sunglasses and contact lenses, they stock safety glasses that protect eyes from debris while sawing rivals' cars in half. Just bring your prescription in to one of the two shops, and the staff can match it to a style of your choice.

- FunctionSer/Thr-kinase component of cyclin D-CDK4 (DC) complexes that phosphorylate and inhibit members of the retinoblastoma (RB) protein family including RB1 and regulate the cell-cycle during G(1)/S transition. Phosphorylation of RB1 allows dissociation of the transcription factor E2F from the RB/E2F complexes and the subsequent transcription of E2F target genes which are responsible for the progression through the G(1) phase. Hypophosphorylates RB1 in early G(1) phase. Cyclin D-CDK4 complexes are major integrators of various mitogenenic and antimitogenic signals. Also phosphorylates SMAD3 in a cell-cycle-dependent manner and represses its transcriptional activity. Component of the ternary complex, cyclin D/CDK4/CDKN1B, required for nuclear translocation and activity of the cyclin D-CDK4 complex.
- Involvement in diseaseDefects in CDK4 are a cause of susceptibility to cutaneous malignant melanoma type 3 (CMM3) [MIM:609048]. Malignant melanoma is a malignant neoplasm of melanocytes, arising de novo or from a pre-existing benign nevus, which occurs most often in the skin but also may involve other sites.
- Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC2/CDKX subfamily.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain. - Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylation at Thr-172 is required for enzymatic activity. Phosphorylated, in vitro, at this site by CCNH-CDK7, but, in vivo, appears to be phosphorylated by a proline-directed kinase. In the cyclin D-CDK4-CDKN1B complex, this phosphorylation and consequent CDK4 enzyme activity, is dependent on the tyrosine phosphorylation state of CDKN1B. Thus, in proliferating cells, CDK4 within the complex is phosphorylated on Thr-172 in the T-loop. In resting cells, phosphorylation on Thr-172 is prevented by the non-tyrosine-phosphorylated form of CDKN1B. - Cellular localizationCytoplasm. Nucleus. Membrane. Cytoplasmic when non-complexed. Forms a cyclin D-CDK4 complex in the cytoplasm as cells progress through G(1) phase. The complex accumulates on the nuclear membrane and enters the nucleus on transition from G(1) to S phase. Also present in nucleoli and heterochromatin lumps. Colocalizes with RB1 after release into the nucleus.

I just got a brainstorm while internet surfing. I came across Lasagna gardening. I forgot all about that method. I would love to try it on a bed of grass I was hoping to decrease next spring. I originally thought I had to remove all the grass & weeds and then start the whole process. I read about lasagna gardening and want to try it. 2 Questions: Do the leaves you layer have to be shredded first? Can you use a layer of coffee filters as a 'layer' too? (I have about 4 bags of coffee filters I've been saving). I never have the time/patience to cut them up before putting into compost bin, so I just have been saving them. Gotta use some up. Can I use them as a layer in lasagna gardening? Thanks!!! SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | |||
Wavy, this is the way "I" do it. I use newspapers that i have asked people to save for me. We are so far out in the sticks, newspapers aren't delivered. They are mailed, but there is no paper route. No, your leaves don't have to be shredded first, BUT they decompose faster if they are. I never shred mine. I also have tons of pine trees around and just rake up pine needles and use that too.[if it's baled it's called pine straw] Yes, you can use coffee filters as a layer. If it's paper, it will decompose. I never cut mine up to in the compost bin. I put the coffee grounds In the coffee filters, in the compost bin. I live out in the country and i'm not neat about compost, but then neither is Mother Nature! The way i do my lasagna gardening is that I will scalp the lawn first, then spray the area with round up. I leave that for about a month, then I start my "lasagna". You don't have to do what I do, but I "enclose" the area in either brick or I have even used a tree that DH cut down, then cut in pieces to make a border for a raised bed. The first layer i put down will be chicken manure[ I wait until it's cold to clean out my chicken coop], then leaves, then newspaper and I wet it down to make sure it doesn't blow away. Then I put down a layer of pine needles, more leaves, then more newspaper and I wet it down again. I put a very large piece of chicken wire over the entire thing to make sure it won't blow away. When it starts to decompose, the level will go down and I start adding more leaves, then more pine straw, then newspaper, don't forget to water it. This is it until spring. You will get all kinds of answers to your questions and alot of people will say I'm wrong, but let me say again...THIS IS HOW 'I' DO IT. Good Luck! | ||||
Thanks, very interesting. I am sure there are several ways of making "lasagna" too, no? There is no right or wrong way. I have a lot of weeds. Maybe I should kill them first (didn't think of that!!!) I don't have chickens, so no chicken manure! LOL! Does this actually decompose by next spring? (completely or partially?) Can you plant in it or must you wait until it's completely decomposed? ('finished') I was planning on using cardboard (pizza boxes I saved) instead of newspaper, if I have enough of them. I cut up my coffee filters to make them decompose faster! I have found that often my compost in compost bin is not completely decomposed by the springtime. It usually takes longer than 5 months when I compost. I don't have chicken manure and that's a good thing to add. I would prefer NOT to buy anything and use whatever organic matter I have on hand!This message has been edited.

The great thing about lasagna gardens is that there are many variations and you can work with what you have. IMO it's not necessary to remove grass at all (altho that might depend on how tough the grass is), it's just part of the 'ingredients' that will decompose. I use cardboard instead of newspapers. Leaves can be left whole and filters can be layered. One mistake I made was to not water one lasagna bed enough during a dry, hot summer so I gave up on it and just left it for that year. Next year it had all turned to nice soil altho was full of weeds. With my latest one where there was quack grass and weeds I weed whacked the grass low, watered thoroughly, then put down a thick layer of cardboard, then grass clippings, and finally shredded bark mulch so it looks OK. Still a few bits of grass coming through that I've been pulling. Next spring I'm going to add more cardboard where necessary and eventually that grass will be gone and the soil will be improved.

And I do it different still since I don't have leaves to use. I do have an old pile of mostly decomposed trimming from pine trees that were cut down for lumber on our property...so sorta pine bark mulch. I mark off the area I want to cover. I mow it as low as possible. If I'm going to use anything like landscape timbers, they go next. Then I put down a thin sheet of lime (my soil NEEDS it) and scatter alfalfa pellets all over (that's my fertilizer), Next is a layer of newspapers 6-12 sheets thick, wet as I go & put down that pine bark mulch over it about 4-6" thick. When it's all covered, it's done! I generally give it at least a month to kill stuff before I start planting anything, but over the winter would be great. My coffee grounds & filters go into my compost just as they come out of the coffee pot! I've used cardboard for the veggie garden or if I run out of newspapers.

Pat Lanza developed the concept of Lasagna Gardening so the best source of information about how to do it is from her. http://ourgardengang.tripod.com/lasagna_gardening.htm The leaves will be converted by the bacteria quicker if shredded. Coffee filters, made of paper, can be composted, The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
How big of an area are your lasagna gardens? Sounds so easy. | ||||
the first one I did was an iris bed. It was 10' by 8', the ones I have now are 10' by 6' and 15' by 5'. It really depends on how big a flower bed you want or how much you think you can handle. | ||||
Thanks Barb. This is so interesting. I do not have chicken but plenty of cow and horse manure, leaves, pineneedles. If I spray the area with roundup now I still need to wait a month before covering it up or would that only be in the summer months? | ||||
You don't really need to spray it now, since the weeds and grass will die out anyway. Sounds like you have a lot of good stuff at your disposal. I would just weed eat the grass then put a layer of newspaper several inches thick to start with. I haven't had any experience with cow manure, but have with horse. the horse manure, needs to be composted for at least 6 months. i used some fresh about 4 years ago and found out why. Everytime I went out to my garden, I knew exactly where I had put the horse manure. There was clover and all sorts of weeds. The rest of the garden was beautiful, except for where I had put the uncomposted manure. Other than that, you are going to have a wonderful garden. | ||||
Thanks again Barb. Someone mentioned earthworms and it made me think that this isn't much different than when I was a little girl and my grandmother who loved to fish had a worm bed. It was framed with old barn boards and everything that would decompose would end up in there. Brings back so many fond and fun memories of her. Wavy, thanks for starting the thread. Good Luck with your Lasagne garden. | ||||
Wavy, Just in case you need another source, you can usually pick up old newspapers at the local printing office. They usually have old papers and don't mind sharing. One of my last garden beds was done with newspaper. They gave me a stack about 3 feet high. Also appliance vendors will give you large pieces of cardboard. Just have to ask for it. The big box hardware store will share too. Good luck on your garden. ~Like sands through the hourglass ~So are the days of our lives | ||||
If you cover the area with material more than 4 inches thick you probably will not need to put down newspaper or cardboard which is only to block a plants access to sunlight which all plants need to grow. Lanza says she covered the area with newspaper, over some lime (be sure to have a soil test done so you know whether there is a need and how much would be needed) and then alternated layers of material to severa; inches deep. The newspaper was not needed in reality. Peat moss would only be needed if you did not have access to tree leaves. Why spend your money on something with no nutrients when a much better material is readily available for free? The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
Is this the best time of year to start the lasagna garden when the leaves are falling? The rain and wind season have started where I live. Is there anything besides chicken wire you can use to keep the wind from blowing the lasagna bed away? | ||||
still tryin, the best time of year to start any type of garden is when you have the time, energy, and supplies. with the abundance of fallen leaves now is a very good time to start a garden. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
Still tryin, Some more ideas? If you have any bricks or large rocks lying around that could help hold down the papers. Or open up large cardboard boxes flat, and peg them down with landscape wire staples. Also cheap nylon rope/twine going back and forth (zig zag) across the area to stakes could help hold it from blowing also. | ||||
I was planning on putting large rocks on top to keep it from blowing all over the place. If that wasn't enough, I could always use some random concrete blocks that I found around this yard. If you have extra tiles laying around, that would work too! SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
I don't understand why one would have to use rocks or anything to hold down the paper. If you use paper or cardboard you cover it with other organic 'ingredients' and dampen it to prevent it blowing away. I prefer to use cardboard as often am trying to eradicate quack grass. Also supposedly earthworms love cardboard and I want to do everything I can to encourage them. The layer of cardboard with lots of organics on top makes a nice consistently damp environment for worms and the soil food web which are the mostly "beneficial micro-organisms such as fungi, bacteria, protozoa, and nematodes" found in nutritious soils.

It can really depend on the wind speeds and open exposure in your garden area, as to whether it can blow away or not. Could not do this lasagna thing in our mountain home, as wind speeds can be 80mph gusts in the winter! If it is not nailed down, it could be found in the next county. | ||||
Covering Quack Grass with either newspaper or cardboard will deprive the blades of access to sunlight and those grass blades will then die, but the roots will stay viable and will grow faster in the environment created by the paper. Earthworms like the conditions, cool and moist, reated by the newspaper and cardboard not the paper itself which has no nutriitional value to them. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
Kimm, you might read this article about using cardboard in vermiculture. According to this author worms do like eating cardboard.

Joy, I have yet to learn about anyone that vermicomposts that uses just shredded paper or cardboard in their bins. Since paper has no nutrient value anyone that did would probably find that their worms would die of starvation. Using paper as bedding is not a problem but not as your only source of nutrients, and the same applys to laying either paper or cardboard down on soil. The paper creates a cool, moist environment that the earthworms find to their liking and if there is a source of nutrients they will stay and multiply, but the paper is not what they like to eat anymore then you would eat cardboard. Newspaper and/or cardboard will suppress the top growth of Quack Grass for a year or two, depending on how long that paper lasts, but because of the moist soil conditions created the rhizomes will grow and as soon as possible send up blades of grass. Wimpier grass species, such as Blue Grass, Perennial Rye Grass, or the Fescues will simply die off, roots and all, when covered by paper.

if you want happy worms in your lasagna, use a layer of used coffee grounds next to the soil covering.... my lasagna worked really good.... I started in late fall, tried to plant in spring, but found that the stuff was still too 'airy' and dried out too fast for the plants to be happy... also was still pretty acidic... so I added some more goodies and waited till fall again... it was perfect!.... the few plants I HAD to plant before then, I cut holes for that would allow them to get to the base layer of soil and that worked fine... things like shrubs and azaleas... you can consider anything thrown on the area, a 'layer'.... doesn't have to be an inch thick everywhere or anything like that.... I made it a point to buy a bag of something every time I was at Lowe's.... black kow, soil conditioner, pine bark mulch, and throw that on ...add another layer of leaves.... I used up the left over fertilizer granules, old potting soil, the dregs in the compost pile, coffee grounds, shredded bills, more newspaper, shredded...and another layer of leaves...... if it was organic, it went on the pile..... after the last layer, one morelayer of leaves, then one of pine bark mulch and at that point it was about eight inches deep.... I kept it moist until freeze....never moved.... come spring, it was about four inches of the nicest stuff!!!.... but very 'light'...a few things I planted had a hard time getting enuff water....so, as above....waited till fall for the main plantings....shrubs were fine... there's no reason to use peat....ever.... so don't bother with it... just use those great leaves that are everywhere... this is when you become the 'thief' and snag everyone's bagged leaves from the curb....or offer to rake the neighbors' leaves for them!!... and all this worry over what to do with the grass?... it dies, folks....even the lousy wire grass here, didn't have a chance!!!....*bermuda, devil grass!!! if there's one that can survive, more power to it!!!.... I don't have that kind here, tho.... once you do this and see how well it works, you'll never dig sod again!!!.... "Gardening Keeps Me Growing!" | ||||
This article tells you how to get rid of quack grass. I think it kind of backs up Kimm's position. http://www.extension.umn.edu/y.../h507quackgrass.html General Disclaimer Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area.

I'm not going to argue with you, Kimm about the value of cardboard in vermicomposting altho in the link I posted the author states it's value and says he has very large healthy worms as a result of them eating it. I know in areas I've used cardboard under mulch it's gone within a couple of years and needs replacing. Sparky, here's a quote from the link you posted "Without photosynthesis the plant will not be able to store food reserves in the rhizomes and will eventually die." Which kinda backs up what I am saying about cardboard and mulch as a method to eliminate quackgrass. Not saying I won't have to attend to the edges of that area and remove the grass *if* it appears there. Noxious weeds usually require more than one method for complete elimination but I still stand by what I said and have done. IMO this method reduces the amount of quackgrass one has to deal with in a large area.

BETHP/iGE OLD BETHPAGE also s^ing ISLAND TREES PLAINVIEW ^ PLAINEDGE SEAFORD Father Simmons Gets Parish The Most Reverend Walter P. Kellenberg, D.D., Bishop of Rockyille Centre has announced that he appointed Rev. Walter E. Simmons, currently assistant priest at St. Martin of Tours Church, Bethpage as pastor of St. Anne's Shrine Church, Brentwood effective oh November 6th. Father Simmons is the first member of his ordination class to be appointed pastor on Long Island, and is believed to be one of the youngest pastors in the Diocese of Rockvile Centre at present. He is also the first curate in the history of St. Martin's to be transferred directly from the Bethpage parish into a pastorate. He succeeds Rev. Michael J. O'Farrell who assumes pastorship of St. Lawrence in Sayville, Father Simmons has expressed thanks to Almighty God, gratitude to Bishop Kellenberg and his advisors and joy at the honor accorded and confidence shown in him. He also expressed his appreciation for the cordiality of Rev. Thomas D. Helfrick, pastor of St. Martin's the the other priests there, Rev. Eugene J. McManus and Rev. John Chaw, the Sisters of Mercy, the personnel at Mid-Island Hospital, Bethpage the parishioners with whom he worked the closest, and all the people of St. Martin's and the Bethpage community. While in Bethpage Father Simmons along with the other priests brought the Sacraments into Mid-Island Hospital; he was moderator of the 50th anniversary celebrations in 1973, of the Holy Name and Ushers Societies, of the St. Vincent dePaul Conference, the adult choir, scouts, Bingo Games and has been 8th grade coordinator of C.C.D. He has been preparing to participate in the revised pre- Cana home program and to become moderator of the senior citizens of the parish. Father Simmons brings with him to Brentwood experience of his early training and of assignments in six parishes previously. Born on July 15,1929, son of the late Harvey E. and Rose V. (nee. McMahon) Simmons in Jamaica, N.Y. He was educated by the Sisters of St, Joseph in Holy Child of Jesus School, Richmond Hill, Queens; attended Chaminade High School, Minepla and Cathedral High School, Brooklyn, Cathedral College and took his major' seminary training at the Immaculate Conception Seminary in Huntington, L.I. He was ordained on June 4,1955 by the Late Archbishop Thomas E. Molly, S.T.D., Bishop of Brooklyn at St. James pre-Cathedral, Brooklyn. His first assignment as an Thursday, October 0 , 1074 10 cents per copy assistant priest was to St. Anthony of Padua Church in East Northport; in January of 1958 he was transferred to Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Southampton; in June of 1959 Bishop Kellenberg sent Father to St. Christopher's in Baldwin where he remained until June of 1963. Next came St. James Church in Setauket until October of 1967 when he joined the staff of St. Patrick's in Smithtown. In June of 1972 he came to St. Martin's. The Setauket assignment included a period of 10 months when Father Simmons was named temporary administrator and single handedly ran the parish and supervised the construction of its new Church auditorium during the illness of the pastor there. Next to the administration of the Sacraments Father's prime interest has consistently been the Religious instructions of Catholic children who do not attend parochial schools. This is done through the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine Programs. Father has acted as chaplin to Catholic patients at Southampton Hospital, to South Nassau Communities Hospital in Oceanside during the Baldwin assignment, to Smithtown General Hospital and now recently Mid-Island Hospital. On wider levels he is a former member of the Diocesan Priests; Advisory Council (Priests Senate), is a community advisor to Mid-Island Hospital, and a member of Catholic Charities Priests Advisory Committee. His predecessor at St. Anne's Brentwood describes that parish in one word: enormous. With 800 children receiving Confirmation each year, with well over 5,000 children taking Religious instructions, with Bingo Games needed three times weekly and with a debt of about $200,000, enormous is surely the word. Father Simmons expects to be officially installed during a con-celebrated Mass at a date to be announced soon after Thanksgiving, but early in December on or near Sunday, December 8th. As soon as this date has been confirmed it will be publicized so that friends so inclined to do so will attend the Mass of installation and the parish reception which will follow. Father asks the prayers in this vast new undertaking. As we go to press, no one has as yet been assigned to succeed him in St. Martin's, Bethpage. He asks that when a priest does come to take his place that the parishioners receive him as revently and as courtesously as they had him over the past two and a half years.

Hofstra in NYC
Hofstra in NYC's January session Finance 141 class with Zarb School of Business Assoc. Dean Gioia Bales has been visiting companies and financial centers including NASDAQ, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, The Federal Reserve Bank, BNY Mellon and the New York Stock Exchange. At Goldman Sachs, they heard Reginald Andre, VP of the Alternative Investments & Manager Selection Group and president of the Zarb Alumni Association. At Morgan Stanley, Zarb alum John Davi showed them the ropes.
Comments by Students in Money and Capital Markets
Hofstra in NYC Course
January 2013
"The class gave me a better understanding of what investment banks and hedge funds do. I found differentiating between the "buy" side and the "sell" side to be extremely helpful to understand how the money and capital markets work. Overall, I learned so much especially at Goldman and the New York Stock Exchange. I found it valuable to hear professionals in the field speak about their roles." – Chris H.
"The hand-on approach of this class has been amazing. I can honestly say that I feel much more prepared for entering the financial world than any other class has provided. Talking with the different employees in various fields has given me a solid understanding of the overall money and capital markets and provided me with a direction. I absolutely recommend continuing the program." – Maria F.
"I did not expect to learn nearly as much as I did over the past ten days. This course has given me a better understanding of financial institutions. I loved learning about all the different positions offered in the finance field. It has really opened my eyes to the world of finance and I believe it will be a course that will help me shape my future." – Harvey R.
"Thanks to this class, I have a much GREATER understanding of where the money and capital markets are heading. I consider this knowledge invaluable to my career and my future in the industry." – Robert E.
"This class has improved my knowledge and understanding of the money and capital markets by both the lectures we had in class and the amazing trips we went on. Before taking this class, I didn't really understand my major or at least what the financial world is about." – Mindy L.
"The city visits were the most educational part of the course. It was like travelling to Italy to learn Italian. Going inside banks and learning from people who are currently in the financial markets was incredibly critical as an educational experience." – Alex R.
"This class I think has been one of the best finance classes I have taken. I've learned about fixed income, equities, derivatives and risk and return. This class taught me real life skills I couldn't have learned in another class. I loved going on the trips and meeting actual Hofstra alumni and it made me believe that if they could do it then I can do it." – Anthony S.
"Honestly, this class was my favorite class of my college experience. No class has ever given me the experience that this class gave me." – Al A.
"I have a much better understanding about what an investment bank, hedge fund, private equity firm, credit rating agencies and the Federal Reserve do now." – Paul P.

LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web frontend for managing entries (e.g. users, groups, DHCP settings) stored in an LDAP directory. LAM was designed to make LDAP management as easy as possible for the user. It abstracts from the technical details of LDAP and allows persons without technical background to manage LDAP entries. If needed, power users may still directly edit LDAP entries via the integrated LDAP browser.
nss-pam-ldapd is a Name Service Switch module and Pluggable Authentication Module using an LDAP server. It allows your LDAP server to provide user account, group, host name, alias, netgroup, and almost any other information that you would normally get from /etc flat files or NIS, and allows you to do authentication to an LDAP server.
web2ldap is a full-featured Web-based LDAPv3 client written in Python. It is designed to run either as with stand-alone built-in Web server or under the control of another Web server with FastCGI support (e.g. Apache with mod_fastcgi).

The cifsiostat command reports I/O statistics for CIFS filesystems.
Keepalived for LVS aims to add a strong and robust keepalive facility to the Linux Virtual Server project. This project is written in C with multilayer TCP/IP stack checks. It implements a framework based on three family checks: Layer3, Layer4, and Layer5. This framework gives the daemon the ability of checking a LVS server pool states.When one of the servers in the LVS server pool is down, keepalived informs the Linux kernel via a setsockopt call to remove this server entry from the LVS topology. In addition, it implements a VRRPv2 stack to handle director failover.
GLPI (Gestion Libre de Parc Informatique) is an information resource manager with an administration interface. You can use it to build a database with an inventory for your company (computers, software, printers, etc.). It has functions to make the daily life of the administrators easier, including a job/request tracking system with mail notification and methods to build a database with basic information about your network topology. It provides a precise inventory of all the technical resources (all their characteristics are stored in a database) and management and history of the maintenance actions and the bound procedures. It is dynamic and is directly connected to the users, who can post requests to the technicians.
Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and extend its standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with just a few keystrokes. Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to complete on hosts from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3 str [Tab] and getting a list of all string handling functions in the UNIX manual. mount system: [Tab] would complete on all exported file-systems from the host called system, while make [Tab] would complete on all targets in Makefile. This project was conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need to do on a daily basis.

Crocs Retro Flip
This pair is my second of this style. The first pair was navy and this pair is black. I love the comfort. I'm wearing them constantly.

Look Good
Wanted a more stylish flip, but most Croc flips are too narrow for my 8 1/2 D wide foot. Have a pair of size 8 Crocband, which have plenty of room--width and length. I needed a size 9 in these as they are narrower and a tighter fit especially between the toes. These feel more stable than my crocband due to a thicker sole. They look good on, but may take time to break in. I like that these come in brighter, more fun colors!!

Love these!
I love these Retro FlipFlops! The fit is good, colors are great...comfy and cute! Five stars (to me) is a perfect shoe. I went with four stars on this one because some may think it needs a bit more "cushy soft" in the sole and around the toe grip. I love them though :)

So so...
I own many Crocs shoes and have found that the retro crocs material isnt as comfortable as the the other types of materials they use for other styles. I have heel spurs and have found that the retro style is too firm on my heel and so it causes them to hurt. They have great colors to choose from but if you have heel issues these aren't for you in my opinion! They list these as "relaxed fit" but they are not, I bought size 11 mens (I'm a womans 12) they fit me but not much wiggle room. I love the bottom of the shoes and wish many other styles of shoes had that rubber sole for lasting strength.

kirkcudbright deluxe blend miniature
I am a new member and am trying to find out about my partners miniature collection. there are over 150 different types and this is one i can't find out about. is it rare, and if so how much is it worth. it is a 10 year old 40% bottle with a picture of maclellan castle on the front
thanks also i am interested in ******* the collection , im on ebay, but don't knw how to find out the real value of the miniatures. any advice on where to start would be gratefully received. thanks |
Couple of things you can do - first if you could post a couple of photos of your Kirkcudbright, then please do as I would like to see it -especially the label (clear & close-up so I can read it). I sure sounds like you have a collectible on your hands - if you can't find it anywhere else, then surely, it might attract a collector. Second, if you are in the US, contact Park Avenue Liquors (212-685-2442) or the Brandy Library (212-226-5545) - both do valuations.

First Solar modules are the foundation to the world's most advanced PV power plants. With over 7GW produced worldwide, First Solar's advanced thin film technology has set the benchmark for sustainable energy solutions.
Ideal sunny location + First Solar modules = More energy for the same nameplate watts
First Solar modules have a proven performance advantage over traditional crystalline silicon solar modules. Due to a superior temperature coefficient, First Solar modules produce more energy in real-world environments.
At temperatures above 25°C, First Solar modules produce more energy than traditional crystalline silicon solar modules for the same nameplate watts.
This proven energy yield advantage provides stronger plant performance in high temperature climates, where more than 90% of a PV plant's generation can occur when module temperatures are above 25°C—where First Solar has a proven performance advantage.
Download a PDF of First Solar's hot climate white paper titled "Performance Characterization and Superior Energy Yield of First Solar PV Power Plants in High-Temperature Conditions" to learn more about our research into hot climate PV performance.
The illustration above is based on a day of actual environmental and energy production data measured by First Solar for a 500kWp array in the Southwestern U.S. desert, compared to a typical crystalline silicon system with an equal nameplate. The First Solar system produced 11.3% more peak power and 9% more energy (kWh) than the crystalline silicon system.
First Solar modules have been verified by independent engineers and certified to international performance and safety standards by third party laboratories around the world, including installations with NREL for over 16 years. First Solar modules are proven, bankable, and backed by a limited 25-year power output warranty and a limited 10-year materials and workmanship warranty.
Read more about First Solar's performance advantage in hot climates in a white paper published in Photovoltaics International.
We are committed to partnering with customers around the world to create value-driven renewable energy solutions.

Not a bad tool, its just that for a 3/4 drive tool it should be more powerful. I own a 1/2 drive craftsmen professional impact that has almost as much power as this one, cost less too.
Newtown Square, PA

I see someone saying it wouldn't remove lug nuts. Mine never has a problem even with much heavier application than lug nuts. I use a oil lubed 60 gallon compressor. Also I use a 1/2 inch hose and 3/8 fittings as the gun calls for. The more powerfull a impact gun is the more air it needs, as a general rule anyway.

The 2014-2015 school year will require full implementation of Arizona's College and Career Ready Standards at all grade levels. The new Summative Assessment System reflects Arizona's Common Core Standards in English language arts and mathematics. It is important to understand that:
- Implementing Arizona's Common Core Standards – English Language Arts at all grade levels is robust preparation for both the remaining AIMS reading and writing assessments and for Arizona's new assessment system in 2015.
- Implementing Arizona's College and Career Ready Standards – Mathematics will require strategic planning to ensure that students have the required grade level content for the remaining AIMS math assessment while preparing for the new Summative Assessment in 2015.
It is essential for educators be fully engaged in instructional and formative assessment practices that align to Arizona's College and Career Ready Standards. The Arizona Department of Education will continue to offer professional development that will meet the needs of educators throughout the state.

Jessica Stroup Movies
Charlotte, NC, native
Jessica Stroup
graduated to acting by way of fashion modeling (much of it print-oriented); a veteran of Edge Management and Los Angeles' Osbrink Agency,
did advertisements for such brands as Velveeta, Honda, and Dentine (whose executives promptly enlisted her as the "Dentine Ice Girl") and struck a memorably alluring pose in Glamour magazine. From such heights, it was only a short leap to the big screen and to telemovies; as an ingenue,
followed the path of many an ascendant actress by eking out a screen presence in grisly fright-fests. Early projects included
Pray for Morning
The Hills Have Eyes 2
(2007), and
Prom Night
(2008). She was cast in the 90210 reboot in 2008 and the next year she appeared in the thriller Homecoming. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Vampire Bats
Having survived a traumatic encounter with hordes of dangerous locusts, Dr. Maddy Reardon (Lucy Lawless), a specialist in the behavior patterns of voracious insects, accepts what she thinks will be a stress-free job as a professor at Tate University in Louisiana. Unfortunately, Maddy is once again forced to put her knowledge to use--and her life on the line--when the body of a student is found, drained of blood. Assisted by her husband Dan (Dylan Neal) and by several of her more courageous (or should we say foolhardy?) students, Maddy endeavors to prove that the death of the student was caused by a flock of particularly vicious vampire bats, mutated into monstrosity by a recent toxic waste dump. Timothy Bottoms costars as Mayor Hank Poelker, who is covertly in cahoots with the chemical company that has caused this calamity. (Can it be that Bottoms was cast because of his resemblance to President George W. Bush, whom the actor has also played on several occasions?) Originally slated to be filmed in New Orleans, Vampire Bats shifted production to Canada to avoid the anticipated onslaught of Hurricane Katrina; the made-for-TV thriller debuted October 30, 2005 on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Twenty years after the brutal slaying of five students at an abandoned resort hotel, a group of fearless students return to the site of the original crime only to discover that the murderer is still on the loose and waiting to strike again. The year was 1984: A group of five students broke into the Royal Crescent Hotel as part of a local rite of passage. Days later, their bodies were found mutilated. The killer was believed to be a local drifter, though no one was ever caught or convicted of the murders. At the time, the press made no mention of the fact that the bereaved parents insisted that the police hire a psychic to locate the murderer, and that after handing one of the student's personal objects the clairvoyant claimed to have seen the killer's face. Though the psychic had claimed that the killer was still inside the hotel, a comprehensive sweep of every floor yielded to clues to his whereabouts. Later that same night, the psychic died in her sleep, effectively rendering the case cold. Flash forward twenty years later, and another group of students conducting a so-called "Tour of Fear" break into the hotel on a mission to visit each of the five rooms where the high schoolers had been slain. Upon discovering a severed hand in one of the rooms, the students unleash a terrifying force that has haunted the hotel grounds for nearly a century. Now, if they can only solve the mystery of a world-class hotel that once hosted royalty before mysteriously plunging into disrepute, perhaps that can escape with their lives and save their immortal souls from eternal damnation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A naïve group of National Guard trainees embark on a routine training mission in the New Mexico desert, only to find themselves face to face with a murderous band of cannibalistic mutants in prolific music video director Martin Weisz's sequel to the successful 2006 remake. An isolated desert research camp has been mysteriously abandoned, and now it's up to an elite unit of soldiers to uncover the truth about the scientists who vanished without a trace. Their attention soon diverted by a distress signal emitting from a distant mountain range, the squadron quickly regroups and sets out to investigate. Unbeknownst to the soldiers, however, is the fact that these are the very same hills where the Carter family recently fell prey to a flesh-eating pack of hideously deformed mutants. As the ranks of the cavalry unit steadily begin to dwindle, it soon becomes obvious that their guns provide little defense from an evil driven by hunger to commit the ultimate crime against humanity. Original Hills Have Eyes and Hills Have Eyes, Part 2 writer/director Wes Craven teams with son Jonathan to script this grim and unforgiving tale of man versus mutant. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A former small-town golden boy returns to his hometown with his new girlfriend, only to find that his onetime high-school sweetheart isn't willing to let go of the past. In the working-class town where Mike (Matt Long) grew up, football is everything. A few months after leaving for Northwestern University on a scholarship, Mike arrives back home for Christmas break with his pretty new girlfriend, Elizabeth (Jessica Stroup), in tow. Seeing Mike with another woman comes a quite a shock to the people around town; back in high school Mike and his girlfriend Shelby (Mischa Barton) were a fairly hot item, but while Mike has moved on, Shelby has not.

Mae SkillsActive Cymru wedi cytuno rhaglen o waith ar y cyd â Chwaraeon Cymru a fydd yn fodd i gyflwyno rhaglen helaeth tros y flwyddyn sydd ar ddod. Mae'n bleser hefyd gan SkillsActive Cymru eu bod wedi sicrhau cyllid gan Gynllun Peilot Cronfa Blaenoriaethau Sector Llywodraeth Cymru (SPFP) er mwy datblygu defnyddiau dysgu ac addysgu arloesol ar gyfer y cymhwyster lefel 3 Egwyddorion Gwaith Chwarae ar Waith (P3).
Bydd y buddsoddiad gan Chwaraeon Cymru yn dylanwadu'n llesol iawn ar ddarpariaeth Cynllun Busnes SkillsActive Cymru 2012-13 a bydd yn sicrhau ymwneud llawn gan gyflogwyr Cymru drwy'r holl sector Hamdden Egnïol, Dysgu a Lles.
Bydd cyllid Chwaraeon Cymru yn mynd tuag at nifer o fentrau y mae SkillsActive Cymru eisoes wedi dechrau eu gweithredu. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys:
• Cynhyrchu Adroddiad Blynyddol ar Gyflwr y Diwydiant ar gyfer Cymru, a fydd yn trafod bylchau a phrinderau penodol i'r sector
• Datblygu Un Fframwaith Cymwysterau wedi ei lunio a'i gytuno gyda phrif randdeiliaid yng Nghymru
• Cynnydd yn nifer aelodau REP Cymru (Cofrestr y gweithwyr ymarfer proffesiynol) o 1000 i 1100, a chynnydd o 10% yn nifer y cyflogwyr yng Nghymru sy'n cofrestru gydag REP a chynnydd o 5% yn nifer yr hyfforddwyr sydd â chymhwyster lefel 3.
• Hyrwyddo pwysigrwydd Pasbortau 'Active' ar draws y sector.
Dyma'r sylw a gafwyd gan Richard Todd, Rheolwr SkillsActive, ynglŷn â buddsoddiad Chwaraeon Cymru:
"Mae SkillsActive Cymru wedi cynnal perthynas weithio iach gyda Chwaraeon Cymru ers oddeutu 10 mlynedd. Bydd y gweithgareddau y cytunwyd iddynt fod yn rhan o'r rhaglen hon yn dylanwadu'n llesol iawn ar Weledigaeth Chwaraeon Cymru ar gyfer Chwaraeon ac yn enwedig hefyd yr 'elfen o weithlu medrus a llawn angerdd', ac ar y cyd-destun strategol sydd wedi ei amlinellu yn nogfen Llywodraeth Cymru 'Creu Cymru Egnïol."
Bydd Cynllun Peilot Cronfa Blaenoriaethau Sector Llywodraeth Cymru y mae SkillsActive Cymru hefyd wedi llwyddo i'w sicrhau, yn gymorth anferthol gyda chyflenwi hyfforddiant gwaith chwarae ledled Cymru, trwy sicrhau bod sgiliau a hyfforddiant digonol gan y gweithlu a bod ganddynt yr adnoddau cywir.
Nod y prosiect yw datblygu a chwblhau defnyddiau dysgu ac addysgu dwyieithog ar gyfer y cymhwyster Lefel 3 a ddatblygwyd yn ddiweddar, sef 'Egwyddorion Gwaith Chwarae ar Waith' project aims to develop and finalise bilingual learning and teaching materials for the recently (P3).
Bydd y cyllid yn fodd i SkillsActive Cymru arwain y gwaith o ddatblygu cyfres gyflawn o adnoddau ar gyfer y Dyfarniad, y Dystysgrif a'r Diploma a fydd yn hyrwyddo dysgu o'r radd flaenaf. Bydd hyfforddwyr sy'n darparu cymwysterau Gwaith Chwarae Lefel 2 ar hyn o bryd yn cael eu huwchsgilio hefyd, a fydd yn fodd iddynt fwrw ymlaen â darparu lefel 3 ar raddfa eang ledled Cymru.
Dyma'r sylw a gafwyd ynglŷn â chyllid ar gyfer gwaith chwarae gan Debbie Willett, Rheolwr Technegol SkillsActive, Gwledydd Prydain:
"Mae Mesur Plant a Theuluoedd (Cymru) yn gosod dyletswydd ar bob awdurdod lleol i ddarparu digon o gyfleoedd i chwarae ar gyfer plant a phobl ifanc a bydd yn creu mwy o alw am gymwysterau yn y sector gwaith chwarae. Felly, bydd y prosiect hwn yn dylanwadu'n gadarnhaol ar y datblygiad strategol hwn a bydd yn gyfraniad sylweddol at fynd i'r afael â'r prinderau sgiliau sy'n bodoli ledled Cymru."
Mae darparu cymwysterau gwaith chwarae yn dal i fod yn ei ddyddiau cynnar yng Nghymru, felly bydd cynhyrchu'r adnoddau hyn yn dylanwadu'n llesol iawn ar ddatblygiad y seilwaith gwaith chwarae. Yn y pen draw, bydd dysgwyr yn elwa ar y datblygiadau hyn a byddant yn gallu datblygu ymhellach ar eu sgiliau gwaith chwarae.
Bydd y buddsoddiadau yn dod ag amrywiaeth gyflawn o fanteision i'r sectorau chwaraeon, ffitrwydd a gwaith chwarae yng Nghymru, rhai y bydd y gweithlu a'r cyhoedd yn ogystal yn elwa arnynt.
SkillsActive Wales has agreed a mutual programme of work with Sport Wales which will enable the delivery of an extensive programme over the coming year. SkillsActive Wales is also happy to have secured funding from the Welsh Government Sector Priorities Fund Pilot (SPFP) to develop innovative learning and teaching materials for the level 3 Playwork Principles into Practice (P3) qualification.
The investment from Sport Wales will have a positive impact on the delivery of the SkillsActive Wales Business Plan 2012-13 and will ensure the full involvement of Welsh employers across the Active Leisure, Learning and Well-being sector.
The Sport Wales funding will go towards a number of initiatives which SkillsActive Wales has already begun to implement. These include:
• The production of an Annual State of the Industry Report for Wales, exploring sector specific gaps and shortages
• The development of a Single Qualification Framework, produced and agreed with key stakeholders in Wales
• An increase in REPs Wales members from 1000 to 1100, plus a 10% increase in the number of Welsh employers registering with REPs and a 5% increase in the number of instructors holding a level 3 qualification
• Promoting the importance of Active Passports across the sector.
In relation to the Sport Wales investment, SkillsActive Manager Richard Tobutt commented:
"SkillsActive Wales has maintained a healthy working relationship with Sport Wales for around 10 years. The activities agreed as part of this programme will positively impact on both the Sport Wales Vision for Sport, and particularly the 'skilled and passionate workforce strand', and the strategic context outlined in the Welsh Government 'Creating an Active Wales' document."
The Welsh Government Sector Priorities Fund Pilot also secured by SkillsActive Wales will massively assist playwork training delivery across Wales, by ensuring that the workforce is adequately skilled, trained and possesses the correct resources.
The project aims to develop and finalise bilingual learning and teaching materials for the recently developed Level 3 qualification entitled 'Playwork Principles into Practice' (P3).
The funding will allow SkillsActive Wales to lead the development of a full suite of resources for the Award, Certificate and Diploma which will promote high quality learning. Trainers currently delivering level 2 Playwork qualifications will also be upskilled, allowing them to progress the wide scale delivery of level 3 across Wales.
Concerning playwork funding, SkillsActive Technical Manager, Home Countries, Debbie Willets comments:
"The Children and Families (Wales) Measure places a duty on each local authority to provide sufficient play opportunities for children and young people and will increase the demand for qualifications within the playwork sector. Therefore, this project will have a positive impact on this strategic development and will go some of the way to address the skills shortages that exist across Wales."
Playwork qualification delivery is in its infancy in Wales, therefore the production of these resources will have a positive impact on the development of the playwork infrastructure. Ultimately, learners will benefit from these developments and will be able to further develop their playwork skills.
The investments will bring a whole range of benefits to the sport, fitness and playwork sectors in Wales, benefitting both the workforce and the general public.
As far as we are aware, this is the first time that a government has made it a statutory duty to provide play opportunities for their younger citizens.
The Play Sufficiency Duty comes as part of the Welsh Governments anti-poverty agenda which recognises that children can have a poverty of experience, opportunity and aspiration, and that this kind of poverty can affect children from all social, cultural and economic backgrounds across Wales.
Congratulations to Play Wales staff who have worked closely with the Welsh Government to reach this goal.
The new Dragon Multi-Skills and Sport blueprint, for children at key stages 1 and 2 (primary school ages 5-11), will be used in schools, sports clubs and community settings such as leisure centres.
A similar scheme is already run in Canada, New Zealand and Australia where practitioners have found a good grounding in basic agility, balance and co-ordination skills leads to greater competency, and enjoyment, across all sports.
Chair of Sport Wales, Laura McAllister, said: "We want more children playing sport to a higher standard and more children having the skills to take part in sport and physical activity through their lives.
"It's important that children have the right skills as young as possible because it sets them on the path for better sporting experiences.
"At the moment we have pockets of excellent practice in developing the skills of children but we want to make that consistent across the board."
SkillsActive - 27/1/12
Bydd Chwarae Cymru a The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) yn helpu SkillsActive Cymru i fynd i'r afael â chynnydd disgwyliedig yn y galw am gymwysterau yn y sector gwaith chwarae yng Nghymru.
Mae SkillsActive Cymru wedi sicrhau tua £235,000 o gyllid y Llywodraeth o Raglen Beilot Cronfa Flaenoriaethau'r Sector i ddatblygu cymwysterau ar lefel Gwobr, Tystysgrif a Diploma ar gyfer Rhoi Egwyddorion Gwaith Chwarae ar Waith. Mae Chwarae Cymru a SQA wedi'u penodi i arwain trosglwyddiad y prosiect.
Meddai rheolwr SkillsActive Cymru Richard Tobutt: "Eisoes, mae'r sector Gwaith Chwarae yn wynebu prinder sgiliau sylweddol yng Nghymru. Bydd hyn yn siŵr o waethygu pan ddaw deddfau i rym yn 2012 a fydd yn gofyn i bob awdurdod lleol ddarparu cyfleoedd chwarae digonol i blant a phobl ifanc.
"Rydym yn falch bod ein cais am y cyllid hwn wedi bod yn llwyddiannus, ac y bydd gweithwyr chwarae yn cael cyfle i ennill y cymwysterau lefel uwch hyn."
Bydd y cymwysterau newydd yn cael eu rhoi ar y FfCCh ar Lefel 3 ac fe'i bwriedir ar gyfer gweithwyr chwarae a staff gofal plant sy'n dymuno symud i'r cam nesaf ar ôl cwblhau'r gyfres o gymwysterau P3 Lefel 2 sy'n bodoli eisoes. Bydd Chwarae Cymru hefyd yn creu ystod o adnoddau dysgu arloesol.
SkillsActive Wales has secured about £235,000 of Government funding from the Sector Priority Fund Pilot to develop qualifications at Award, Certificate and Diploma levels for Playwork Principles into Practice. Play Wales and the SQA have been appointed to lead the delivery of the project.
SkillsActive Wales manager Richard Tobutt says: "The Playwork sector is already facing a significant skills shortage in Wales. This will be compounded by laws introduced in 2012 requiring each local authority to provide sufficient play opportunities for children and young people.
"We are really pleased that our bid for this funding has been successful and that playworkers will now have the opportunity to access these higher level qualifications."
The new qualifications will be placed on the QCF at Level 3 and are intended for playworkers and childcare staff wanting to progress from the existing suite of P3 qualifications at Level 2.
Developed by SkillsActive in consultation with leading employers, the programme is designed to attract learners keen for a career in the sport and active leisure industry.
The first group of students begun the programme in September 2011 and will spend their first year studying a combination of core and optional qualifications at Level 2.
The programme supports the strategic approach set out in the Welsh Government 'Skills That Work for Wales' strategy. It is being delivered by further education institutions such as Coleg Sir Gar, Ystrad Mynach College, Coleg Llandrillo and Cardiff and Vale College.

English apprenticeship providers and employers acting on the behalf of apprentices will soon be able to request Apprenticeship certificates online.
The Alliance of Sector Skills Councils is now the Certifying Authority for England using the Apprenticeship Certificates England (ACE) system, following changes to the Apprenticeship certification system.
From 10 February 2012, apprenticeship providers / employers acting on the behalf of apprenticeswill be able to use the ACE online system to request certificates from sector skills bodies (SSBs) and sector skills councils (SSCs), such as SkillsActive.
SSBs and SSCs will then issue Apprenticeship certificates, providing the Apprenticeship framework requirements have been met.
Key dates
• On 10 February 2012, SkillsActive will begin issuing Apprenticeship certificates via ACE
• SkillsActive will continue to issue certificates against claims submitted on the current paper based system until 31 March 2012.
• After 1 April 2012, SkillsActive will only accept requests from people registered on the ACE system
To request a certificate using the ACE system, please register on the ACE website. SkillsActive will issue a username and password to you within 5 – 7 working days.
New certificates
If you request an Apprenticeship certificate using the ACE system, you will receive the new certificates with gold (higher apprenticeship), silver (advanced apprenticeship) or bronze (intermediate apprenticeship) foil seals. If you use the paper based system, you will receive the older version of the certificate.
New fees
• Apprenticeship certification claims submitted via the paper based system until 31 March 2012 – £25
• Apprenticeship certification claims submitted via ACE – £22
activepassports to link with ACE
SkillsActive is working to integrate activepassports into the ACE certification process.
Providers will soon be able to use activepassports to track a linked apprentice's qualifications and the new statutory Guided Learning Hour requirement.
Following further development, it is hoped activepassport will populate ACE with the required certification information. This will enable providers to better track and manage their apprentices and, ultimately, help streamline the certification process.
Please keep an eye on your email inbox for further details, including activepassport package pricing.
The Skills Funding Agency has advised SkillsActive that the ERR awards will no longer have a value on Learning Aims Reference Application as stand alone qualifications. However, the Skills Funding Agency has calculated an enhanced amount of funding into the competence qualification's (NVQ) funding to cover the delivery of the ERR component of the framework in our sector.
The funding has not disappeared – it is still there but has been captured in the main component of the framework.
SkillsActive apologies if this change has caused concern. However, it was brought in without advance consultation. We hope this notice allays your concerns.
