Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Several tumors can harbor KIT mutations, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), mast cell disease, melanoma, seminoma, acute myeloid leukemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and lymphomas. The frequency and type of mutations vary among these tumors and portent distinct clinical implications. The ordering physician is responsible for the diagnosis and management of disease and decisions based on the data provided.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Results are reported as positive, negative, or failed. A negative result does not rule out the presence of a mutation.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Reliable results are dependent on adequate specimen collection and processing. This test has been validated on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues; other types of fixatives are discouraged. Improper treatment of tissues, such as decalcification, may cause PCR failure. False-negative results may occur in heterozygous tumor specimens when tumor cells comprise <60% of the cell population. Tumor cells are routinely enriched by macrodissection to avoid false-negative results.
Clinical diagnosis and therapy should not be based solely on this assay. The results should be considered in conjunction with clinical information, histologic evaluation, and additional diagnostic tests.
This test is unable to distinguish between a somatic and a germline KIT (or PDGFRA) mutation. Germline KIT (or PDGFRA) mutations are rare and their clinical relevance has been described in more detail in Clinical References 1 and 2. Testing of a peripheral blood specimen from this individual would be required to distinguish a germline from a somatic mutation. This test is not currently offered at Mayo Clinic.
For KIT Asp816Val mutation analysis in mast cell disease, refer to KITAS / KIT Asp816Val Mutation Analysis, Qualitative PCR.
Supportive Data
We studied a set of 75 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens: 40 classic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), 10 unrelated tumors, 21 neuroendocrine tumors, and 4 other tumors (2 metastatic melanomas, 1 breast cancer, and 1 squamous cell carcinoma). The literature reports that approximately 80% of GISTs harbor a mutation in KIT gene, while 2% to 5% harbor mutations in PDGFRA. Overall, we found 83% of GISTs tested demonstrated mutations in KIT and/or PDGFRA, which is in accordance with the literature.

Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The paraffin-embedded tissue is macroscopically examined and the tumor-rich portion is dissected, deparaffinized, lysed, and digested. Genomic DNA is extracted using either a phenol-chloroform method or the QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue kit (Qiagen). The DNA is amplified via PCR. Primers specific for KIT exon 11 are used. Controls are run with each specimen to assess possible contamination issues and overall test performance. The patient and control samples are sent for direct DNA sequencing. The sequencing chromatograms are analyzed by manual and software methods and the presence or absence of a KIT exon 11 mutation is determined. The results are interpreted and reported by a working group pathologist.(Qiagen DNA FFPE Tissue Handbook; unpublished Mayo method)
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed.

Capital Grille - Washington DC
Online Reservations
No need to review....always the best meal, wine and service.
We had a fantastic meal and our waiter, Tony Parvin, was excellent. He could have easily have been the Sommelier.
Our server Wayne was great. Picked out what we should of ordered and it was awesome. Thank you. 4 crazy guys from Portland Oregon.
Food good as always. Table service spot on as our server was engaged, friendly and she make great suggestions. She even sent me a little ice wine for my birhday. Most importantly she was patient with my mother who can be difficult to serve. Second time in a row, however, at this Capital Grille I've seen a hostess at your host stand using a cell phone to text. This time it was right when we walked in. Easy solution; forbid cell phones at the podium. It is rude and unbecoming of a restaurant of this caliber. Also, the hostess that we intially interacted with (who was the one who was texting) was simply not a friendly person. She appeared to be the one who was stationed at the podium. The hostess who took us to our table was much nicer.
Capital Grille is one of our two favorite special event restaurants. It always delivers great food and great service.
The food was amazing! We had a wonderful service experience from the valet to the end of dinner. Very nice restaurant for an intimate dinner.
Capital Grille have a vibrant bar scene. Best steak house in DC, and excellent service.
I frequent The Capital Grille at home and their outstanding performance and amazing food continued at the Washington DC restaurant. They never disappoint.
Excellent place for fancy wining and dining. I got the sushi-grade tuna with ginger rice. It was absolutely amazing. The waiter recommended getting rare or medium rare, unfortunately I went with medium because undercooked fish seemed odd to me. When I started eating the dish I realized it would have been better cooked less (but as I said it was still delicious). The fish comes with three sushi-style dipping sauces. If I go back to Capital Grille I would get the same meal.
The steak was amazing, but that wasn't even the high point. Tom was our waiter, and did a phenomenal job. There were times I'd look at my glass of wine/water and not even realize that he had snuck in and filled them up. He was energetic and conversational without being overbearing or interrupting. He provided honest assessments of the food, both good, and items that weren't their best. Add a few drinks and dessert on the house for myself and my guests, and we all left feeling like we had been treated with the highest of professionalism.
This was my third visit to capital grille. The service was stellar as usual, although the steak I ordered wasn't as flavorful as it has been in the past - still a good steak however. There was a mix up with the open table reservation. For some reason the restaurant had our reservation as 5:30p, and listed us as a no show, when we made it on open table for 7:30p. I showed the hostess my open table confirmation email showing the time as 7:30p and she quickly got us a table. It all worked out, but if this had been a Fri or Sat I'm not sure it would have been so easy to get a table.
Made reservations for three through Open Table and arrived on time at Capital Grille. I identified that there would be one person in the group who was gluten intolerant. As we were seated, they had a special menu and in stating the specials, pointed out which were free of gluten and which were not. We ordered a serving of Calamari which was quite large, definitely for several people. The food was good and well prepared. The waiter was attentive. It was not too loud to talk and it was a pleasant experience. It was expensive and more than one might wish to pay just for lunch, but it was good for special occasions. We do plan to return but not very often due to the price. I would recommend the restaurant.
I had noted on my Opentable reservation that it was my friends birthday. The table had confetti spread out on it, and the dessert (complete with candle) was on the house. Extremely impressed with the decorations, and the service was great. Well worth the price.
So glad we saved the best for last on our last night in Washington DC. The hostess most graciously moved us from one booth that was in the midst of lots of foot traffic to another booth much more to our liking. Started with drinks including the signature Stoli Doli and French Onion Soup and Asian Pear Salad. The Double Cut Lamb Chops, Sauteed Wild Mushrooms and Beef Tenderloin and Lobster were to die for! After telling our wait staff person we were celebrating our 40th anniversary, our dessert of Key Lime Pie arrived with a lit candle. He even took our picture and gave us a copy in a card frame! This was such a nice touch and surprise! I can see why Capital Grille is rated one of the top restaurants in Washington DC! Don't miss it!
Capital Grille has been setting a standard for steakhouses all over the US, their DC location is no exception. If you fancy a nice aged steak and a great wine, this place will never disappoint. They do offer alternatives for the non meat-lovers.
This was our first time at this Capital Grille and the food and service were first class. Manny, our waiter, was fantastic and very hospitable. The food presentation and taste where excellent. Capital Grille is not cheap so you may not eat there every night but on those special occasions where money isn't a consideration it would get my vote every time.
A Saturday night with the House still in town so expected CG to be Tea Party Central, but saw only a few likelies. Food was basically still good. Steak tartare was a model of the dish. Porterhouse steaks were cooked a bit beyond medium rare as ordered, not as much of the gamey flavor that one expects from dry-aged. Creamed corn was wonderful, truffle fries would not standup to Central's or Beck's. Excellent service from Bill.
A restaurant with excellent service and food. They also have an expansive wine list. The fact that they offer Valet Parking is a big plus in D.C. We would definitely go back,
Excellent hospitality, fun crowd, and food and wine list are top notch!
Capital Grille is a throwback kind of place that you see in movies. The food is great, the atmosphere is just as wonderful. You can have a party with a group, a romantic dinner or a special occasion meal, and you feel like the whole restaurant is there just for you. We had Blll Cribbin as our waiter, and he made our anniversary dinner extra special. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I hope your experience is as great as ours was.
My husband and I love our time at Capital Grille. The food is always top notch, the wine recommendations excellent and the waitstaff outstanding. This visit was our son's first time there and he loved it as well. We look forward to the next time we return.
Good food, good service. Not a spot if you want quiet conversation. Great for out of town guests who want a "taste" of Washington at a great location at the base of Capitol Hill.
Step up the usual lunch by treating yourself to Capital Grille. Lobster bisque & French onion soup is delicious. The hamburger meat is high quality and you have to get the truffle fries. Warning: fish dishes are not flavorful. Service is usually outstanding but we were underwhelmed by our waitress Sarah.
We were in town for parents weekend and my son wanted to go get a good steak. We have been to the Capital Grille in Boston so we picked it in DC. It was just as good. There was a city run going on so our son and his friend were late. We were not hurried at all . Never did we feel the pressure to hurry. The food was cooked perfect. Our son and his friend were very happy
It's hard to distinguish one great steakhouse from the next but I was pleasantly surprised at the many options on both the steak and chef's suggestions menu that challenged my inclination to order my regular medium rare filet. We had a wonderful waitress who suggested the kona rubbed steak with shallot butter after I asked her what could I order a little more 'done' than med. rare, since I am expecting. The flavor in the steak she suggested totally masked the fact that I had to order my steak a little more done than I would normally prefer. Our salads - the chopped salad and the tomato and mozzarella salads - were delicious, as was the side of truffle fries. Overall a great dining experience.
Celebrated husbands birthday with couples from Georgia, Tennessee, and DC. Food was excellent and service was superb. The Grill went so far as to decorate our table with birthday sparkles and provided my husband with a wonderful birthday dessert sampler. It is a birthday he will never forget. Thanks Capital Grill for a making our visit so special.
I have dined at the Cap Grille many times and have never been disappointed with the food. However, I continue to frequent the restaurant because of the wait staff's impeccable attention to detail and service. No matter what the occasion, the staff is incredibly accommodating and gracious in fulfilling every request! In particular, Tom Stevens is a stand-out in the outstanding crew of experienced servers at this just-off the Hill restaurant.
I treated my wife and a few friends to dinner to celebrate her 50th and it was much better experience than I planned. They took notice of the message I sent with the Open Table reservation and called earlier in the day. The table was ready and was even sprinkled with some fun items to recognize the event. All the plates were fantastic, but I have to mention the melt-in-your-mouth no-flour chocolate cake brought out on a platter with Happy Birthday in raspberry drizzle. The service throughout the dinner was exceptional. Wonderful end to a fantastic dinner.
Hello! I took three colleagues out to dinner to thank them for their very hard work in recent weeks. We received a warm welcome from the Managing Partner and the managers on duty. We were seated in a very comfortable booth. We started with Pan Fried Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers and Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella with Vine Ripe Tomatoes, which were fantastic. Two of us had the Field Greens, Tomatoes, and Fresh Herbs salad, and two of us had the Wedge with Bleu Cheese and Applewood Smoked Bacon. Two of us had New York strip steaks, and two of us had beautiful filet steaks. For sides, we went with grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes, and some Lobster Mac 'N' Cheese. Server Tom Stevens was awesome! We had a perfect night. Many thanks!
Had friends here from Canada and Germany. Wanted to do something truly special with an American style for them...and the Capital Grille is definitely the answer. They were definitely impressed, and enjoyed themselves tremendously. Great food, service, ambience. Win-win-win.
Had a fantastic time celebrating our birthdays..steaks were perfectly cooked, service was phenomenal, our waitress Jocelyn was spot on to every degree from the wine suggestions, steak recommendations, and presentation...loved the ambiance, a dining experience we will forever remember.
A friend of mine was in town lobbying and I thought, "what a better place than Capital Grille for dinner." We had drinks at he bar prior to our reservation. The bar was filled with high class, well dressed people. Our meal was phenomenal, we both had the aged Filet Mignon. For an aged steak, ~$45 wasn't too bad. I definitely recommend the Kona rub. The service was also great.
Hadn't been here in 10 years and it's every bit as good as I remembered.
The meal was good but I felt it was a bit over-priced for the quality recieved. Meals were basic.
The food was really good as usual. Steaks were cooked at right temperature and the Fall seasonal salad was delicious. Service was outstanding. Noe was very nice and knowledgeable about everything we asked.
Food was fabulous and service was great! Loved our waiter. Great DC atmosphere.
The food was very good... Server was accommodating. Overall nice evening.
I knew this would be an expensive dinner going in, so I'm not sure I can fault the restaurant for that. With that said, I would like to have gotten a little bit more for my money. For example, $44 for a steak with no sides included? Overall, when the steak came, it was phenomenal, so I don't feel like I overspent THAT much. The other complaint I'd have about the restaurant is that it was too warm in there the night we ate. So warm, in fact, that I actually wanted to take my jacket off and roll up my sleeves. I don't know whether that was the number of people, or where we were seated, or what, but it was very warm. Our total bill of $200 was high, but the meal was easily 2-3x better than the $70 meal we had the following night.
Absolutely loved the food, service an ambience! Would recommend it for any occasion but it's a perfect late night eat date night.
Just got married & were treated to complimentary champaign & cheesecake in the bar before dinner. Upon entering the dining room we found a beautifully decorated table and topped it off with a complimentary picture to remember the evening. The food & wine were great, as usual.
Took a group of 6 to Capital Grille while on vacation. The table was very crammed. The waiter was pushy (an east coast thing? Not sure). The food was great though, we all enjoyed our meals and ordered a variety of things.
Cherished memories of a perfect dinner! Celebrating a most special occasion, the Capital Grille made it even better!! Excellent filet, lobster, creamed spinach, and mushrooms. Thankfully, we split a wedge salad as it was still a meal in itself. First time at this location, but true to form, dimmed lighting and lick the plate delicious! We'll be back.
Went here for a special meal out with family, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Steaks are fabulous, and the staff was patient, helpful with suggestions, and very accommodating of a couple of split items (one salad, one entrée). Very pleased with this choice!
I took my wife to the Capital Grille for her birthday on Sat. I took advantage of their valet service which was professional and friendly. We arrived about 25 min prior to our reservation so we were shown to the bar area to wait, within about 10 min they had our table ready. When we were shown to our table, I was pleasantly surprised that they had decorated it in preperation for the birthday celebration. Our server immediately wished my wife happy birthday and thanked us for allowing him to be part of the celebration. Our steaks were prepared perfectly and the service was prompt. Our meals were outstanding, but what really made the night enjoyable was the professional staff. The experience of the evening was excellent.
Excellent location and the food was top notch with attentive service. Beautiful decor and well managed. A bit noisy at lunch due to the large capacity.
Exceptional classic as always, this Washington staple always delivers. Delicious food, friendly host staff and sharp waitstaff. We found ourselves looking for the waitress on occasion, but overall she was attentive and thorough.
you cannot beat this place for fine dining. Great ambience, and the service is absolutely top-notch! Love it!
We dined out for Thanksgiving as we have for the past few years. We chose the Capital Grille this to and we are so glad we did. Be aware that the food is pricey but this is an upscale restaurant and it stood up to its reputation. Excellent food, service and ambience. We will definitely go there again.
My husband and two neighbors decided to eschew Thanksgiving cooking/cleaning by going to the nearby Capital Grille for our holiday dinner. We were 100% spot-on in our decision, as the turkey and trimmings were delicious, plentiful and lovingly presented. Our waiter was polite and helpful...not to mention very accomodating to 'unusual personalities' in our party (wonderful Russian emigrees for whom American dining ways are a cultural shock, e.g., they don't like ice in their drinks, have no idea what is stuffing, etc.). BEST OF ALL: This may be a very elegant place but it is definitely not stuffy.
I decided to have a holiday lunch for my team of four and given their fav food is steak, Capital Grille was an obvious choice. It was very crowded at lunch, The hostess at the front was very welcoming but the gentlemen host assigned to seat us came across as very stern and didn't crack a smile--not welcoming. Our waiter was outstanding (Wayne) and was very accommodating with anything we wanted included off menu items. Our filets/sirloin and the sides (asparagus, mashed potatoes and lobster mac/cheese) were all cooked to perfection and delicious. The desserts were simple (key lime pie, expresson chocolate cake, cheesecake with fresh fruit) but delightful.

This is a great course to run if you are looking to get in some hill training for Boston. There are 2 good sized hills one between mile 18-19 and another after mile 25 right before you turn back in to the mall. I would recommend this race if you are looking for a challenge. There are plenty of flat areas on this course also. My only complaint was the condition of the road in the Turning Hawk housing complex, it needs to be paved, very badly chewed up. This was about 2-3 miles. Overall this was a good peaceful experience running out in the country with the horse farms. Don't forget your watch since there are no digital readouts at the mile markers, except at the half marathon point if you are looking to keep track of your pace.
The course is very pretty, but do not be deceived into thinking it is flat and fast ... it isn't! This marathon has several things that work well: 1.) plenty of aid stations with lots of nutrition options 2.) plenty of porta-lets, 3.) beautiful spanish moss and 4.) fun aerobics workout pre-race. But there are some things that were a bit of a disappointment as well: 1.) No t-shirts at packet pick-up! Really? 2.) Poorly designed course map made it way too challenging to drive the course ahead of time. 3.) no area for a drop bag 4.) incorrectly place mile markers!!! Finally, thankfully I'm not one who needs spectator support, but if you are, this race isn't for you. There were virtually NO spectators any where on the course.
Just to add a few extra comments: I have run a marathon in every state -this marathon ranks in the top three with overall effort by the folks who put it together and worked at it! ~ worth the challenge! *author of: HEADING TOWARD THE FINAL FINISH LINE
Gorgeous weather for the 2011 Ocala Marathon. Mostly rolling hills, some steeper than others. No spectators, but very enthusiastic volunteers at the water stops, which were at every mile, followed by a porta-let. I should say water "buffets," as they were really like a mini convenience store - including Shot Bloks, candy, pretzels, and donuts. The course was extremely well marked - my Garmin registered 26.24, I'm sure due to not being able to use every tangent. I would say great organization except for the confusion on packet pickup - the website stated that all packets were to be picked up on Saturday at the expo, but they allowed pickup on Sunday morning. Would have been nice had they put this on the website, as it created a big snafu for those of us who lived far enough away to not attend the expo, but close enough for to get there early Sunday morning. I did mention this to the assistant RD, and she agreed, saying that it would be fixed for next year. One thing to note: I agree with the previous comment about the traffic. If you're a slower runner, the roads are extremely narrow, and even though there are some cones, cars/trucks get pretty close, and in some spots, I was running on the grass. Didn't care for that in the later miles of the race.... Nice tech shirt and medal, and all in all, a real value!
A cold, frosty 29 to start, and a pleasant 50ish to finish. Aid stations were fabulous with about as many volunteers as runners. Don't normally like double loops but the second time seemed quite different in sunshine as opposed to early-morning frost. Few spectators but they were enthusiastic. Lots of chatting with other runners, which makes for a small but friendly bunch. Pasta feed was great, but they should seat runners together next time.
DRC Sports puts on a heck of a race. The course is challenging with constant rolling hills and a few tough, short climbs. The support is good with ample volunteers and a friendly attitude from all involved. This is a race at which to enjoy the scenery and test yourself on something other than a pancake-flat route. It's not for the runner looking for large numbers of spectators; there just aren't many in a rural area. It was a good time and I'll be back for sure.
If you consider yourself a real marathoner, you must do this race. This race is truly a hidden jewel! The rolling hills provide legitimate challenge for serious runner/athletes, but it is not necessarily appropriate for the fund-raiser/just-want-to-finish participant. Of the 40-plus marathons I have run, Ocala is at the top in terms of organization and race management support. The water stop volunteers were the best (thanks Hale!). You will be hard-pressed to find a more enthusiastic and supportive group at any race. In response to some of the other posts: of course there were almost no spectators! How many people do you think live on a farm? It is just what most of us would reasonably expect: a beautiful country run past horse farms and extraordinary scenery.
In a nutshell, it was well organized and marked, and the water/aid stations were some of the best I've ever seen staffed by exceptionally enthusiastic volunteers. Hills not as bad as I thought. Fans??? I think they must have overslept. I'd recommend this event with ONE exception.... This is not a closed route and traffic can get downright dangerous when afternoon approaches. If your marathon finish time will be over 4 hours, you should wear safety colors and be prepared to dodge traffic. The roads were narrow, I had to deal with lots of speeding cars and many drivers were oblivious to the race going on around them. If the race organizers consider closing at least a lane along the busier portions of the course, I would do this event again.
My family came down to Ocala to take in some horse shows. We saw that there was a marathon weekend happening at the same time and decided to participate. The course was as described, with gentle rolling hills and lots of rural horse scenery. A truly perfect way to run 42.2 KM's on a Sunday morning. Volunteers were fantastic. Maybe some PowerAde or Gatorade at aid stations would be welcome. Great horse trophies. I would for sure recommend this as a great small-town marathon.
The mid-40 temps with a bit of a breeze, and all the rolling hills with the scenic farms made this marathon enjoyable. As long as you do some hill training, your time and efforts will not suffer. The expo was small but adequate. The overall organization of the event was very good. The only disappointment was the finishing area. There were only bagels, bananas and oranges. Some of the food on the course should have also been at the finish. I do love the t-shirt and the award I received. The volunteers were very enthusiastic. Thanks for a great time.

Quick Quotes: Dragon Age 3 to be a marriage between Origins and DA2
"The team is going to have some things that are going to surprise both sets of fans, both core fans and new fans with a marriage of the best from both games. One of the core values of Bioware is that we take feedback really seriously, and we know that the core fans who were expecting more Dragon Age Origins – we have to respond to that – we're not willing to ignore that, we're going to take that head on. We also have an obligation to our new fans, the ones who were surprised and delighted with some new approaches and accessibility in terms of action and combat.
"What we need to do as developers is take that feedback from both sets of fans to heart and see about marrying that in future games in the Dragon Age franchise. And we look forward more to talking about that in the future." – Bioware's Ray Muzyka to PC Gamer.

"You have to innovate. Innovation means taking some risks creatively. When you're doing a sequel, if you're thoughtful and you understand your audience well and you spend a lot of time listening to what they like and don't like, you take risks – sometimes they pay out, sometimes they don't – but if you listen you can continue to refine and make the games better and better. You can adjust the right variables in a sequel. They're good if you do them right." – BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka, speaking to Eurogamer about sequels at E3.

Instead of running multiple different systems, the University of Concepción wanted to standardize on a single platform for all its technologies. This would allow the educational facility to more easily support future growth and ensure a consistent, reliable response.
After all, using multiple vendors' products can cause integration issues. Internal IT staff needs more training and certification. Complex problems can lead to vendor finger-pointing at the expense of the customer and its end users.
The decision to consolidate represented the university's largest IT investment in the past decade, said Sergio Lavanchy, principal. The school's IT department wanted to enter a partnership with a solution provider proficient in both education and the technology it ultimately selected.
Ultimately, the University of Concepción chose IBM PureSystems, opting to team up with IBM Business Partner CRECIC. IBM is the exclusive sponsor of Internet Evolution.
"Experience has shown that to purchase solutions that integrate multiple brands and technologies always create difficulties in its implementation by local integrators, from logistical errors, such as not receiving all necessary components on time or receive them wrong, to errors in the design of solution," said Lavanchy, in an interview. "Our organization did not want to deal with the difficulties above, since we required a secure and proven performance to support critical services that drive the business. The IBM solution offered to meet these expectations and also allowed a unified and integrated administration without a significant increase in costs."
In addition to modernizing the university's IT infrastructure, the solution increases the availability and storage of student and teacher email accounts. It expands the facility's storage capacity and processing ability, allowing it to provide a stable and secure platform for all its websites, the university said. That's because PureSystems integrates servers, storage, switches, and management software onto one platform. This fact empowered the university to complete installation, platform migration, and implementation in fewer than 20 days, according to the University of Concepción.
That fast turnaround was one of the investment's first of many anticipated returns on investment, said Lavanchy.
"The first benefits were observed at the time of implementation and platform configuration, which allowed us have production services in a short period of time," he said. "Furthermore, the solution had allowed the migration functionality from the previous platform simply and with a minimum of downtime."
By consolidating on IBM's technology, the entire implementation was streamlined, noted Lavanchy. IBM and CRECIC worked closely together in both pre- and post-sales, he said, to ensure fast response times and to quickly resolve any issues that occurred.
One partner, one provider, one platform -- an approach that's taking the University of Concepción to the head of the IT class.

— Alison Diana, ThinkerNet Editor,
No one can necessarily blame the Chilean University for standardizing but Shehzadi capture my thought when he comments that "The world is multifaceted and our tools must work in that world". I appreciate that working with disparate systems helped broaden my horizon and helped my integration into the real world.
Will, especially, the students be helped by such standardization?
How did different vendors become the evil villain, simplicity a hero? Simplicity is an emperor without clothes. Complexity is good. The world is multifaceted and our tools must work in that world, so they have to match it because when offered a choice between something really simple and something that actually accomplishes things you want done, even though more complex, you will chose complexity. So is the case of different vendors and single one . In this regard I think one should not compromised on any thing just for the sake of subject.
The problems arise when some other vendor has a new technology that would provide significant advantages and the single vendor does not support or have it.Another problem is that once locked in as a service monopoly the tendency would be to gradually raise prices until the initial advantage is wiped out.Thirdly, user driven applications, the kind that come from internal IT people working with the employees (professors, students), may suffer in this scenario as new development might have to all be channeled into the same queue.
Less than three weeks is an amazing turnaround time for the sophistication and scope of this implementation -- and that's one of the benefits IBM touts for its PureSystems solutions. I'd think standardizing on one vendor's system naturally gives you a timing advantage, but I haven't heard of many installations this big, supporting this many students, that you can count in days -- instead of weeks or even months.
I'm amazed at how fast this was able to be implemented. 20 days?
Many projects like this take a lot longer, but I suppose that if an organization uses one holistic platform, it is easier to implement than that of disparate alternatives.

Web Survey Bibliography
Effects of number of response options in web surveys: The role of verbal labels
Relevance and research question: Fully labelled agree/disagree rating scales are often used to obtain data pertaining to subjective phenomena in web surveys. Although the link between the number of response options and the quality of information obtained with rating scales is well established, the role of the verbal labels attached to the options is less well studied. The verbal lables define the length and the fineness of a fully labelled rating scale and adding response options may therefore either lengthen the scale and/or make it finer. The aim of the present work it to examine the impact of altering the number and verbal labels of response options on the quality of the information obtained. Fully labelled rating scales with five, seven and nine response options are examined. Verbal labels are either used to lengthen the scales or to make them finer.
Method and data: University students in Germany and Iceland were presented with six questions measuring attitude towards university education in a web survey. Respondents were randomly assigned to six experimental conditions. 1) Five response options with the labels strongly, somewhat and neither/nor, 2) five response options with the lables fully, somewhat and neither nor, 3) seven options with the labels fully, strongly, somewhat and neither nor, 4) seven response options with the labels strongly, somewhat, slightly and neither/nor, 5) seven response options with the labels fully, somewhat, slightly and neither/nor and finally 6) nine response options with the labels fully, strongly, somewhat, slightly and neither/nor.
Results: The results show that the effect of the number of response options on the quality of the information obtained depends on whehter the added response options lengthen the scale or make it finer. A finer scale seems to reduce non-differentiation and extreme response style.
Added value: The findings show that the verbal labels attached to the response options must be taken into account in empirical research on the optimal number of response options.

German Shepherd Dog > A few questions about the german shep pups (13 replies)
A few questions about the german shep pups by Michele1982 on 28 May 2012 - 13:09 |
My female pup is always panting..even though she is in the house with the air conditioning. She always feels a little hot to the touch. Is this normal for her since she is only 4 months old? Another question is the following: She never barks at people, but always barks at other dogs. I'm am having her go through obedience training so when she turns a year old she can be a therapy dog. How do i get her to chill out with the barking at other dogs? I dont want any thing aggressive on her, or towards her when she trains. So what kind of positive reinforcement can i use to get her to settle down with the barking? Thank you for any comments and suggestions. |

When she barks at other dogs are her hackles up? |
by beetree on 28 May 2012 - 14:03 |
You need to teach her a "no" or "stop" command. Some folks like to say phooey? Any way. When she barks at another dog, give her the command. Each and everytime. If she doesn't obey, leash her and crate her for a time out. The always panting issue...have you talked to your vet about this concern? All we can do is take wild or educated guesses. |

i would have a pinch collar on her to correct her when she barks if you cant stop her by saying No, also her panting could also be stress, and she may be unsure and very stressed out, i have a puppy right now i am working on these things as last owner never socalized her in different enviroments she is now 11 months. she also puts up her hair with strange dogs and i can tell she wants to bark but as soon as i see her hair come up i correct her, and then she gets over it as i dis approve of that behavior. also have you taken her to puppy classes ? i highly recommend you do soon. she may also be in a fear stage. |
by joanro on 28 May 2012 - 16:15 |
If the barking at other dogs is fear motivated, the crating AND the prong collar are going to reinforce the fear. You, the owner, need to determine if the barking is fear, play, or aggression. Each will require a different approach to correct. |

Well, good point Joanro. I never used the crate much for anything myself, "experts" would suggest it to me so I did kind of fall into that as a benevolent philosophy. I mean it must have worked for someone, somewhere? OP, it might be helpfut to know, where is the dog while barking, in the home, the yard, a walk? Are the hackle raised, tail curled? The most important thing though, I would think is to communicate to the dog, that you have the situation under control. they need to be taught to take your cue, as their brave and competent leader. |
by joanro on 28 May 2012 - 17:40 |
Beetree, crating only removes the pup from the situation. To me, changing the environment where there is an issue is not training or solving a problem. |

A pinch collar for a 4 months old puppy ???? I hope this wasn´t serious... |
by Conspicuous on 28 May 2012 - 18:02 |
Also, I was told to never use the crate as punishment or banishment? I might be wrong, I'm no expert. PS. puppy classes are an excellent suggestion! |
by susie on 28 May 2012 - 18:09 |
Conspiciuous. You are right |
by Ctidmore on 28 May 2012 - 18:23 |
Question: "I am having her go through obedience classes" are you taking her to class and doing the learning and training with her? Or sending her to someone for them to train? I wasn't sure on that point. However ALL the classes you and the dog can attend will be the best and easiest way to solve this problem. She is young enough that you can ask more experienced people in the classes if your dog can be introduced to their dog if theirs is friendly. Also another way is to just practice heeling along side someone else experienced and usually in a short time the dog doesn't even pay attention to the other dogs. But doing this a LOT is VERY beneficial. IMO The panting would have to see to truly understand if something to worry about, or just a normal panting. If you feel really concerned a vet check is always the way to go. IMO |
by Red Sable on 28 May 2012 - 18:33 |
I'd redirect her focus to you, then treat. Get her out and about to see other dogs often, never close always from a far, so she has no bad experiences. Ideally, you want her to ignore them, and IMO the best way to do that is to get her to focus on you instead, (which is always a postive thing, which is why you give her a treat. ) Be consistent. As she matures, if she still has a problem with other dogs, you will need to do firmer corrections to let her know it is not acceptable and that you are in charge of the situation. |

I think GSD's pant a lot, as they stay cool through their tongues... |
by MVF on 30 May 2012 - 05:06 |
NO PINCH COLLARS ON A PUPPY! AND ESPECIALLY NOT BEFORE YOU FIGURE OUT IF THERE IS A MEDICAL ISSUE. Just how hot is your house with the A/C going? Some people think 78 degrees F is okay -- but that is hot for a gsd pup. If she needs to live in a hot place, you need to (1) brush her daily to keep the undercoat as light as possible; (2) keep cool water available all the time; (3) position a fan blowing in a place that she can get to readily when she is in distress. But, of course, you need to get to the vet to do some testing. |

Home Sewn
Dianne Ludwig, Trustee New Zealand Fashion Museum and its founder, Doris de Pont are calling all fashionistas – with a home sewing history.
The New Zealand Fashion Museum needs your original home sewn fashion garments for an upcoming exhibition HOME SEWN to be held in September 2012 - especially of those now in the NZ fashion industry themselves.
The exhibition, which follows in the high-heel-footsteps of Black in Fashion and The story of El Jay, is "a retrospective and view of the evolution of home sewing in New Zealand. With a focus on the fashion garments, the machines, the technology plus illustrations, photographs, newspaper and magazine features that highlight this era of creativity, it will reignite a memory or create a newfound interest for anyone who has a passion for fashion" says Doris de Pont.
This, from The New Zealand Fashion Museum, below:
The language of dress is irrefutable. What you wear declares what you are – or perhaps more accurately what we would like to be. And though the fundamentals of fashion may have changed in the past decades – moving from the designer dictate to a much more individual expression of style - the basics remain the same. You are what you wear.
Alternative ways of dressing however do not dispense with one singular fact. Finding that special item can be elusive. Way back when, availability and choice were marginal, necessity harboured a home sewing industry. Today there's resurgence for different reasons. Self expression, individuality, the need for novelty are nurturing a newfound interest in creating your own clothes. And the skills required by such a craft are suddenly being recognised as an art form rather than simply home sewing.
It wasn't always so of course. If we hark back to pioneer times needlecraft was taught at the knee. Proficiency was handed down from mother to daughter when New Zealand's very remoteness demanded it – even for the most basic of wardrobe needs. And though ultimately the choice widened, for any woman who had an inkling of style, home sewing – whether by you or your dressmaker – was the only means of getting it. The figures related to the dress pattern industry even as late as the seventies are proof.
Now the tables have turned. The choice is almost overwhelming. And when anything goes, the getting of what you want to wear can be equally as challenging. Much easier then to simply sit down and sew it yourself. And increasingly women are doing just that - searching the fabric shops for the perfect piece of fabric, the pattern that sparks the imagination and taking great satisfaction in making fashion for themselves that suits their style."

I'm going to nominate all the people in my apartment complex who don't pick up after their dogs. It's in the lease that you will do so. But they figure if they go out with the dog at night no one will see them not picking up. Just grow up already, people!
Quote from: gramma dishes on December 29, 2012, 12:46:53 PMQuote from: mrkitty on December 29, 2012, 11:51:59 AM... We've been trying to be patient...you know, neighborly? ...I take it you have actually talked to your neighbors about this problem with no results?Yes, absolutely. There seem to be about eight adults who live there and I don't know how many kids. I/we have left polite notes, have complained to the apartment manager who claims to send "helpful reminders" and have tried talking to them. There is either a genuine language barrier or they're pretending there is one....I'm not going to go there and try to guess on that.But either way, we're now documenting the parking violations (it's expressly included in the lease what the parking regulations are) and have sent photos and so far one letter via certified mail to the apartment manager about this, since it's the management company's job to enforce the lease. Anyway. We're documenting and now sending official complaint letters - building a case, as it were. Hate to do it, but nothing seems to be working. If, God forbid, we have another accident due to the parking, a small claims case will be filed. But that's getting legal, and I'm not going to go there .... just rest assured we're taking the legal steps we need to to resolve the situation. Fire marshal will be next.In any case, we're hoping we can afford a down payment on a house later this year, if I manage to find a job in the field I'm trying to transition into. I just posted this to further illustrate how *rude* some people are. It's teeth-gnashing worthy! grrrrr.
I was driving slowly down the street when I spotted a woman walking down the sidewalk, totally engrossed in reading a book. She didn't even look up when she reached the intersection, just stepped off the curb right in front of me. Fortunately, I had spotted her in time and was going slowly enough that I could easily stop. She never took her eyes off her book; I don't think she even was aware of my car. I got a good look at the cover of the book she was reading. The book that made her as oblivious to her surroundings as a teenager texting away? Murder Must Advertise, the book from which I took my screen name.

1 Piece Suits
Leather Motorbike Race Suits
A perfect fit
Date of purchase 09/09/2013. As there are no reviews on the ARMR Moto GP1, 1 piece race suit. I thought I'd write one. First of all, I went to Sportsbikeshop and was made very welcome with instant attention and a coffee, and after looking at some of the suits available. I tried on the ARMR GP1 suit, and it was a perfect fit. Great start. I checked all the stitching (triple stitched), zips, velcro fastenings. All of it was very good. It's fitted with C.E. Impact protection. I'm always a bit suspicious about lower priced riding gear, with regards to safety and quality. After all, no-one wants serious gravel rash. I am pleased to say, that I reckon I got myself a bargain. Well done Sportsbikeshop. As for the suit being low priced, One of the reasons must be is that there are no sewn on name badges or decals. All of the decals are Spray painted on, very neatly. I live in Southern Spain and because the suit has perforated panels, It's bang on for my needs. I know it's not a big or well advertised name in riding gear but I can't fault it. My other gear is ARAI helmet, Held phantom gloves, Axo Aragon boots plus other suits made by Scott and Prexport. Give ARMR moto suits a try. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Chrisonthecosta. - SpainAre there no bikers over 6ft tall
I've bought these for track days. I'm 6ft 4 tall and average build. These are the largest size but they're a bit to short in the arms, the legs and more annoyingly the body. Which is odd because I've got an RST 2 piece size 48 that fits better this one piece that's size 50. Why can't leather manufacturers accept that tall people are allowed to ride bikes!! They're ok but I hope they stretch a bit.
Nigel Brooks - AylesfordSafety in numbers
Pads in the right places, lumbar back plate, knee sliders, flexibility in the right places. Can't really fault these leathers! My small size left me with what felt like loads of room around the rump, thigh, calf area but once sat on my bike, all seemed to sort itself out. Has been worn in the wet and zips are not water sealed so be ready for a bit of a moist chest! I definitely feel safe wearing the suit and would recommend to those wanting good quality leathers without the crazy prices!
