Psychometric Information
The standardization of the WRMT–III was conducted from July 2009 through June 2010 on a nationally representative sample of 3,360 individuals aged 4 years 6 months through 79 years 11 months. Of this sample, 2,600 individuals were enrolled in school (kindergarten through Grade 12), and their data were used for the grade norms. Tests were administered at more than 1,000 sites in 45 states.
The WRMT-III tests were compared to the WRMT-R/NU, KTEA-II, WIAT-III, WJ-III, CTOPP, and RFI tests. These studies are important for establishing the similarities between scores obtained on the WRMT-III tests and those of other commonly used reading tests and for providing support for convergent evidence of the WRMT-III tests and measures of reading achievement.

Report Options
Scoring and/or Reporting Options
Q-global™ Web-based Administration, Scoring, and Reporting – Enables you to quickly assess and efficiently organize examinee information, generate scores, and produce accurate comprehensive reports all via the Web.
Two options for scoring and reporting the WRMT-III are now available on Q-global.
The first option is to pay per-report. Customers who administer the WRMT-III only a few times each year, or those who want the flexibility to pay only as the assessment is used, may prefer this option.
The second option is to select an "unlimited use" subscription, where one user of the WRMT-III gets unlimited scoring and reporting for one, three, or five years depending on the selected term of the subscription. This may be a better option for customers who administer the WRMT-III several times each year—and don't want to worry about keeping track of their report expenses.

Nate Silver of Baseball Prospectus and SI.com recently released his list of "Baseball's Top 50 MVPs."
In concept, the UFD (Ultimate Fantasy Draft) is pretty simple: If you were starting a baseball team from scratch, which players would you want to build your team around?
Three members of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays cracked the top 50 and two others were named as honorable mention.
50. BJ Upton: There are parallels between Upton and Gary Sheffield, another player who had an awesome minor league pedigree but whose defense and attitude made for a difficult adjustment to the major leagues.
42. Delmon Young: Lost in the hubbub of the bat-throwing incident is that Young's offensive development has been a little flat over the past year and a half.
33. Scott Kazmir: He just barely edged out Victor Zambrano for this slot (poor Mets fans, even Nate Silver is piling on…hehe). Kazmir has yet to have that one season that gets everyone buzzing — he had command problems in 2005, injury problems in 2006, and is off to a little bit of a slow start in 2007.
You might be asking "Where the #%% is Carl Crawford?" Inexplicably he comes in as an honorable mention.
Carl Crawford: Crawford seems like he's been around forever, having become a big league regular at age 20, but he's still just 25, and may have some further room for power development. He's also one of the more likely major leaguers to take a run at 3,000 hits, as he's even-money to have cleared the 1,000-hit barrier by the end of this season. Plus, he's perhaps the best baserunner in the league, and one of the few left fielders that might be worthy of Gold Glove consideration. So there's a ton to like here, but at the end of the day a .327 career OBP from a corner outfielder is too much to overlook.
We will forgive Nate Silver because he has obviously been in Botswana for the first month and a half of the baseball season and failed to notice that Crawford, who is still two years from his prime, has a .367 OBP this season. And while we will admit that C.C. does not play a critical position in the field, it is only because there are two more natural center fielders already on the team. Crawford could easily be a center fielder and would start in center for most teams.
The other honorable mention was last season's first round pick, Evan Longoria.
Evan Longoria: Longoria's minor league numbers this year — five homers and a .956 OPS so far (ed. note: actually 10 HR and 1.068 OPS as of today)– are significantly better than (Brandon) Wood's, even though he has played in a much tougher hitting environment. Longoria plays outstanding defense and might even be a candidate for a move to shortstop; think Ryan Zimmerman, Part Deux.
We have no comment on Longoria because we are still flummoxed, flabbergasted, and F#@$$ed by Crawford's non-ranking.

Kabul: Afghanistan will hold its next Presidential election on April 5, 2014, the Election Commission announced on Wednesday.
President Hamid Karzai, who is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term, had denied speculation that security problems and the exit of foreign troops that year would delay the poll.
The credibility of the vote will be vital to the security and stability of Afghanistan after the final foreign combat troops have left by the end of 2014. Mr Karzai's re-election in 2009 was blighted by allegations of fraud.

Buy an Atrix "4G" Lose Your Unlimited Data Plan
According to THIS POST on ANDROID CENTRAL, the document from AT&T shows you will have to give up your grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan if you choose to upgrade to one of their new "4G" phones. This truly is unbelievable... wait, no, it's believable of AT&T lately. What can they charge for and take away next??
Can AT&T do one more thing to turn people away from buying their new "the world's most powerful smartphone?"
If you currently have the $30 smartphone unlimited data plan (which does not include messaging), you can switch to the $30 smartphone 4G data plan. If not, you have the choice between $15 and $25 4G data plans. If you moved to a non-4G smartphone (and really, I believe that 8525 of yours is supposed to have the same requirement), the existing non-4G smartphone data plans have the same pricing structure, $15 for 200 MB and $25 for 2GB.
MediaMax is not a smartphone data plan. Unlimited smartphone data (with the exception of a plan that was strictly for the original iPhone and no other device) has never been less than $30 and has never included messaging.
If you don't have too many people sending you text messages, you could drop the messaging plan entirely and use a free service like Google Voice. It doesn't do MMS, but there are better ways to send attachments. The main drawback is the need to tell people to use a different number to send messages to you. Otherwise, yes, currently the smallest messaging package is 1000 messages for $10.
Wow, AT&T is making it soooo easy to decide.. It so nice to se a company make a service that is totally un-complex. I've seen some companies have so many plans you end up spending all day just trying to figure out what you need,,,
Thanks for the info!
The phone line my Atrix is going to be put on used to be for an iPhone, but I went from it to a low-end Nokia phone. Hopefully I'll be able to get unlimited put back...
Nope, once you change off of and Unlimited there is no way for any reason they'll reverse the change. As far as other non-Atrix phones go, yea you can keep an Unlimited plan or even move amoung the other Unlimited plans, but AT&T is trying to be slick and say that it is "NOT COMPATIBLE" with "features". Obviously they aren't referring to the TCP/IP stack or all the other industry standards that phone/technology is compatable/compliant with. So if you want to get an Atrix they wont honor what they say about keeping plans, you will have to be capped in with the 200 meg or 2 gig.
Straight off their site when you go to upgrade (I have been with them for years and have Unlimited)
"Important Information:
The phone you've chosen is NOT COMPATIBLE with the following feature(s) currently on your account:
* Smartphone Personal
Note: To avoid excessive charges, please log into att.com/mywireless or call Customer Care at 800-331-0500 after you've activated your new device to remove your current incompatible feature(s) and to add new compatible feature(s) to your account. "
Pity about being stuck without unlimited... oh well... I likely wouldn't go over the 2GB limit, but I've thought about tethering to my desktop computer and nixing my DSL altogether... ($20 vs $50/month and all...)
If I had a line with an unlimited data plan and moved the SIM card onto the Atrix, would they then remove its unlimited data access?
This was posted by an AT&T rep on the official AT&T Facebook site today when he asked about keeping his unlimited data plan and getting the $199 upgrade price:
AT&T Hello Jim, I'm sorry if there was some confusion. The discounted price of the Atrix is $299. The retail price is $499. If a customer upgrades to one of the qualifying plans, Data Pro, Data Plus Personal, or Data Pro 4GB Personal an additional $100 rebate is included. If you have further questions you can contact me at email@example.com.
Apparently, by their claims on Facebook, if you opt to keep the unlimited plan you don't qualify for the $100 rebate and your upgrade price will be $299. It will be interesting to see if this is true or if the reps there are just your typical clueless AT&T reps.
SIM swapping wont change your data or voice plans, and in fact even with the message stating that the Atrix wouldn't work with the Unlimited plan the website would've allowed me to still have chosen among the Unlimited options and continue. The problem is that the message indicates that there would be additional charges. So it would appear that they are claiming they would be able to identify what kind of phone you have (easily done by the IMEI) and single it out for alternate data charges. So the real question is are they bluffing or do they intend to hammer people with no data plan data rates until they break.
I am the jim that posted that on Facebook. I received the same message from two different At&t reps, one was on the phone ant the other from Chris by email. They could still be wrong, but it is obvious that At&t wants you to give up the unlimited plan for the $100.00 REBATE. I wish they would be honest and upfront about it though.
I agree, JiminSD, that up front an honest would be nice, but it wouldn't help sell powerful phones to power users. We hog the network, the other 95% of users only take up something like 20% of the bandwidth. So they are just trying to make us pay our fair share. And... I'll admit it, I just don't want to 🙂 But I will say this, it is more honest and direct than Verizon capping power user's speeds, in fine print, and still trying to sell them high end stuff with "Speeds Up To" type bold print advertising.
I definately feel you on all points, escpecially the web browsing (I'm still rockin' the first Tilt...) So yea, browser and facebook app will be a really nice change on the Atrix. Athough, unlike you, I usually go through 4.5 gigs a month of podcasts alone with my current setup so I've truely been getting my money's worth all along. But either way, my buddy has already ordered his so I'll probably just toss my SIM in his and get a clear clean answer to whether we can keep what we signed up for. At 4G speeds I'd go through 2 gigs with a pocket dial

I'm inclined to believe that those reps don't know what they are talking about. That's not uncommon you know. The same rebate was offered with the HTC Inspire to get the upgrade price down to $99 and from what I am reading, not without glitches, those customers have been allowed to keep their unlimited data plans.
Who ever is making the decisions for AT&T data plan pricing and data plans for smart phones and in the case of Atrix the laptop dock should be fired if is it the CEO the Board of AT&T should fire him. The greed at AT&T is unbelievable, I have ordered the phone and am hoping AT&T wises up with the pricing of the laptop dock because a tethering plan for the laptop dock is like a AT&T charging me extra for speaking on the phone to make a voice activated call. {keep it courteous} guys at A&T and possibly Motorola are killing the reason for buying this phone maybe they love iPhone and Steve Jobs so much they do not want any competition despite the phone having all the problems which were blamed on the AT&T network.
Wake up {keep it courteous}guys - wise up and fix your plans and bundled offering prices. Also, grandfather in the data plans back including and specially those who switch from the dumb iPhoneX. Also, allow existing phone owners to be able to order the dock at the bundled price or lower. It isnt my fault I did not order the {word filter evasion} dock because AT&T is too {word filter evasion} greedy. Or maybe, I should just return the package unopened back when the FedEx guys show up to deliver my new phone.
Well I'm gonna lose money anyway I go.. the Media Max200 plan (was a Smart phone plan at one time) included my text messages so now that will be extra.. Here's what would make me happy on their data plan and text messaging plans, do a "middle of the Road" and change the pricing on data, $10 for 200MB $15 for 1Gig and then $25 for 2Gig... On text offer a $5 dollar plan for 500 messages in addition to the $10 for 1000... I'd be all over that...

I thought "Wow!" when I learned that the eigenvector of the adjacency matrix of a cycle graph $C_n$ corresponding to the second largest eigenvalue gives the coordinates of the vertices when equally distributed on the unit cycle: the $n$-th roots of unity (from complex analysis) come up in a completely discrete context! What's more: The coordinates of the eigenvector can be "interpreted" straight forwardly when assigned properly to the vertices.
There's another straight-forward interpretation of an adjacency eigenvector: the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue gives the relative importances of the vertices, being proportional to the sum of the relative importances of its neighbors.
Question: Can more - or eventually all - adjacency eigenvectors be sensibly "interpreted"?
Or does it in general depend on the type of graph, whether and how the eigenvectors can be interpreted, and the first example above is just a curio?
What about the interpretation of the eigen-values? Do at least some of them "mean" something conceivable?

Gunung Lang – A Recreational Park0
Ipoh, my favorite historical town and due to its strategically surrounded by limestone caves, I've many places yet to be cover in all my previous trip past year. In my recent trip, 3D2N back to Ipoh, I'd a good time visiting this wonderful nature place, Gunung Lang, The Recreational Park.
Gunung Lang – A Recreational Park
Even it's called a Mountain Lang (Gunung Lang), it's not exactly a place for hiking or expedition activities, but more on recreational and sight-seeing places. A short break and we continue with our plan to Gunung Lang, not for hiking, but for photo shooting. It has incredibly view lake hemmed in by majestic limestone outcrops.
I cover this place only in the afternoon, means after I check-in into Hotel Abby.
Traveling from KL-Ipoh is a bit time-consuming. I started from KL as early as 6am. Managed to catch up with some famous eatery places in Ipoh at after 8am. I stopped at famous Nam Heong White Coffee stall for breakfast. We ordered Char Kuey Teow, egg tart, mee hoon and most importantly Ipoh town white coffee.
It doesn't stop here because good food is everywhere in Ipoh.

I just want to thank you so very much. Over two years ago I met my love here and he has made all of the difference in my life.
- El Monte, CA
Thank you for your service. I meet a charming person, Funeybean and we have advanced from e-mails to phone calls followed by a luncheon date in Tarpen Springs, FL. With my daughter's blessings he was invited and accepted an invitation to spend the Christmas holidays with us in El Paso, TX. This was followed by his invitation to me to return to FL with him as a guest in his lovely home and meet his family. We have been together since finding that after we both had had loving and caring married lives with others, he 51 years and I 49 = 100 years WOW!, that widowhood can be temporary. We believe that Divine Intervention and your organization made possible our meeting and falling in love...again, this time in our early 70's. A lovely and fun way to go thru the 'golden years'. Again, thank you and keep up the great work. Funhappy girl
- Dunedin, FL
I wanted to inform you that I have found an amazing man on this site! We chatted and conversed on the phone several months ago and then lost contact. We found each other again and I have to say he is the most precious and dearest person I have ever met. Distance is a bit of an obstacle but we are determined to get to one another no matter what! Thank you so much! I wish that everyone on this site is able to find the person they are searching for!

We will be eternally grateful. Karon and Jim

Discussion in 'Future of Trek' started by zekkie, Jun 1, 2013.
keep dreaming, buddy.
That's one of the first things that struck me in the OP. Stephen Fry ? Why call it from the get-go ?
There's really no need to be rude, though, Seer.
I'm getting to the same page as SeerSGB. Starting to feel like this is nothing but a troll thread.
Actually it's a quote from an old creative writing teacher of mine. When someone in the class would say "I got an in, I know someone/people'. The response was always "You and about every other asshole wannabe knocking on their door".
because Stephen Fry fits the profile of April to a T. in terms of attributes and resume. the same with Felicia Day as Colt.
why... it's about being ready and having a vision (and names) to present, just in case.
can it be re-worked? yes. if it has to, but not on anyone's directive but the actors or studio.
determination, gumption, and perseverance are also in my nature.
like i said. i'll take the chance.
funny, i had that same feeling.
People here have offered you sound legal and creative advice. Which I thought you asked for, but then you've promptly ignored all of it.
Might be best if you quit wasting you immense creative talents here and go sharpen that concept and 188-episodes.
uh huh... i presented a product. i didn't ask for ANY creative or legal advice. i asked for criticism, which i bore.
i will take your last line of advice that you presented, as it is sage wisdom.
That's a whole lot of work for a troll, but I have to admit that the super-confidence and "I have a friend everywhere in the biz" type thing is seeding doubt in my mind.
I notice that my posts are no longer being acknowledged, so I'm bowing out.
One last unrelated note: zekkie, as someone with Rear Admiral rank here you must know the rules about Spamming re multiple sequential posts. Why not use Multi-quote?
no doubt here. i'm confident in who i am and my ability to navigate who i know to give it a quality shot. i've gotten some pretty hard bills passed through tougher legislatures, so we'll see if the experience translates.
now, to take Bills advice.... good night/day, all.
(re: multiquote= new since i've last posted here)
It doesn't.
Here's a thought, which you'll sneer at now but remember later if - unlikely though it is - you ever get a meeting:
All they have to do is not return your calls.
I'd wish you luck, but with your attitude the kind of luck you'd need would be shameful to waste on show business. Buy a Powerball ticket instead.
I was thinking the same thing. Elected officials and the political system are nothing like studio/network executives.
You can't threaten a studio exec with a primary or an election...
But, oh, well. In someways, this thread has been fun, but the reality is, the treatment won't go anywhere.
The "lobbyist" talk is inflated anyway.
Well, his facebook page does indicate some lobbying. But this is what caught my eye under Work and Education:
Chutzpah, thy name is zekkie.
Showrunner? Of course this is what they've been looking for. Why waste time on the folks currently producing successful Trek when they can go to someone with no experience? I'm reminded of Arnie in 'The Last Action Hero'.
Prediction: Will Never Happen.
CBS won't trust a multi-multi-million dollar franchise to someone completely inexperienced in showrunning, no matter what your real world experience.
When I was 12, I wanted to build the Enterprise and go in space with the Trek cast as my crew. I eventually learned that just because I can think of something, doesn't mean I can do it, or that anyone but me will care.

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData FireDAC Components for SAP Concur, you gain access to live SAP Concur data within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update SAP Concur data. This article will walk through connecting to SAP Concur and creating a simple VCL application with the Form Designer.
Creating a VCL Application for SAP Concur Data
The following instructions show how to use the Form Designer to create a simple VCL Forms application that shows the basic FireDAC objects needed to connect to SAP Concur from any application.
The following example populates a TDBGrid control.
- Create a new VCL Forms Application.
- Drop a TFDPhysSAPConcurDriverLink and TFDConnection object onto the form.
Double-click the TFDConnection object. The FireDAC Connection Editor is displayed. Select "CData.SAPConcur" in the DriverId menu and configure the connection properties.
SAP Concur はOAuth 2 認証標準を使います。SAP Concur の登録アプリのOAuthClientId およびOAuthClientSecret を入力します。詳細はヘルプドキュメントの「はじめに」を参照してください。
- Drop a TFDQuery object onto the form and set the properties below:
- Connection - Set this property to the TFDConnection object, if this object is not already specified.
- SQL - Click the button in the SQL property and enter a query.
- Active - Set this property to true.
- Drop a TDataSource object onto the form and set the following property:
- DataSet - In the menu for this property, select the name of the TFDQuery object.
- Drop a TDBGrid control onto the form and set the following property:
- DataSource - Select the name of the TDataSource.
Drop a TFDGUIxWaitCursor onto the form. This is required to avoid a run-time error.
You now have an executable application that displays the results of the SQL Query set in the TFDQuery object.

When I woke , the first time, scenes are of Flatliners Flatliners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMjjuRwXOxo , patient transported to another room with a rollered bed, I woke up seated on the rollered bed with hands stretched to protect my body while being transported, I was crying like I've been into some fire, it's hot all over, when I saw the male hospital crew pushing the rollered bed, I said to my self, "Oh no, it's Jesus Christ!"..... TAKE TWO! That's the moment I am back to waking up again... scenes are of Flatliners, patient transported to another room with a rollered bed, I woke up seated on the rollered bed with hands stretched to protect my body once again, I was crying like I've been into some fire, it's hot all over, when I saw the male hospital crew pushing the rollered bed, and he is wearing a nameplate this time that reads Michael, I said to myself, "Oh no, it's Michael!" ... next scene is SPECIES Species https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79hXvDohqgI I was transferred to "an aquarium" and Michael shut the door and started observing me from the glass panels. I sat and look-up. I shivered to find a camera and a flame thrower on top of me. The more I shivered when I saw the tiles around me with burn marks. I cried harder. Michael and some crew observed me for awhile and when nothing is happening, Michael opened the door and brought a tray of dinner. He left it next to me and started observing me once again from the glass panels. My hands are trembling but I try to touched the food . When I had finished the meal, that's the moment Michael opened the door and did not shut it anymore. An orderly came in and handed me patient clothes to shower.

#TalithaCumi #XfilesContinues #VancouverGeneralHospital #Year1996 My last memory before waking-up seated on a rollered hospital bed while being transported on a room,my hands stretched (singkil style- in the tuneof magkaugnay- ang lahat ng bagay ay magkaugnay , LOL!) .... was, I had said my Nicene Creed(I Believe) on my mind, before expiring on the VGH Reception Area...I was even complaining to the nurse about the pain on my left hand before I had expired , as the hand-cuffs on my hands got tightened and it must had lacerated it. The nurse who went to check it panicked or something,she can not identify my left hand correctly. Who brought me to VGH on this condition? I was staying at 7830 Granville and the night before that I went out overnight. When I went home early morning, as I had opened the backdoor, a "force field" striked me there was a loud bang! I was about to move away instead of getting in, when Uncle Eric saw me and said, "George,halika dito." But I said, pupunta muna ako kina Juliet. Ah doon ? O sige, sandali hatid ka namin ni Malou(Maria Lourdes Galeon). And they drove me off on the gray BMW to Juliet's and Yeh-Yeh's place at MAIN St.(Vancouver has the uncanny way of showing opulence with the majority of the cars that are moving is either a BENZ or BMW not to mention the regular coming and going of Rolls Royce -type of vehicles from airport to downtown). And when we arrived there, three guys had restrained me while standing for more than fifteen minutes until the AMBULANCE ARRIVED. The scene was like OUTER LIMITS! It's like they are waiting for me to expire while many crows are hovering above us, encircling directly above us on that three-guys-restraining-movements-from-me-while-standing(immobilizing me). They are "Ontoy" guys like the one you regularly see on WET Markets. When on their own cue, the ambulance crews on Policemen uniform signaled a stoppage of the status quo and put a hand-cuffs on me(gee what's this?) and they get me inside the ambulance and was trasported to VGH. That's the long story.
What happened to the laceration on my wrist? How come I woke up on "Take One" and "Take Two" without any sign of it? Another case of Walang Sugat? Who knows?

The AAVSO is an organization that thrives only with the work of dedicated observers and other volunteers. There are a number of new and ongoing projects at the AAVSO that need people to make them happen. If you're looking for ways to make a contribution to the AAVSO in your spare time (or on a cloudy night!) please consider helping with one or more of these important projects!
Mentor Observers (Mentor Program)
The AAVSO is a unique organization dedicated to variable stars and variable star research. We house the largest and most comprehensive digital variable star database in the world. The possibilities of future research with these data are limitless. If you are interested in working with the data directly from headquarters, or if you are interested in a possible volunteer position, we might have an opportunity available for you!
The AAVSO's volunteer-driven project to digitize paper archives of variable star observations is moving forward, and there have been some exciting developments over the past few months that deserve to be mentioned. Here, I'll summarize some of the happenings in this project, and talk about some of the issues that have arisen at AAVSO and among the volunteers.
In the 1980s, the AAVSO began a monumental project to completely digitize the paper and punchcard records of the AAVSO. This project, undertaken just as computers became more common and easy to use, foreshadowed the rapid advancement in networking technology that led directly to the world wide web, and to the AAVSO website. As a result of the work the AAVSO did, we are now able to serve our archive of over 18 million observations to the entire world via our website, providing decades worth of variable star observations for thousands of different variable stars to researchers world-wide.
Watch this page as we add information from you and from our archives!
Are you a veteran? Are you currently serving or have you served in the Armed Forces of the United States, your own country, or another country? The Red Cross or Red Crescent? The Peace Corps? VISTA? Other similar organizations?
If yes, have you had interesting experiences related to your service and variable star observing or astronomy in general? Would you be willing to share them with us?

Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs
Draft Gulf War Task Force Report Released
May 14, 2013, 08:00:00 AM
Report Redefines How Care and Services Are Provided to Gulf War Veterans
WASHINGTON – Today, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki announced that the Department's Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses Task Force will publish a comprehensive draft report in the Federal Register for public feedback and comment. The report describes how the Department of Veterans Affairs has been, and will continue to address the concerns of Veterans who deployed during the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991.
"We know Gulf War Veterans are experiencing critical long-term medical issues that are complex and difficult to label," said Shinseki. "VA has learned a great deal over the past 20 years about identifying, diagnosing and treating Gulf War Veterans, and we will continue to evaluate our research and clinical findings to ensure we keep providing world-class health care and benefits for Gulf War Veterans."
Over the past several years, the Task Force has refined an integrated roadmap to better synchronize efforts and improve care and services to Gulf War Veterans. VA is working towards these efforts becoming a part of the culture and operations.
This year's report continues to focus on efforts to improve health care for Gulf War Veterans including innovative enhancements to clinical care. The draft report identifies seven specific areas where VA will strive to improve services for Gulf War Veterans.
The seven areas focus on important components of health care, such as Veteran-centric approaches to specialty and primary care, delivering Veteran benefits, and improving open communications with Gulf War Veterans. The Task Force also developed plans to improve linkages between specialty knowledge and services at the basic point of care to address treatment for chronic multi-symptom illness, an ongoing concern of Gulf War Veterans, their families and their providers.
VA continues to support ongoing efforts by providing clinical research and development, which is outlined in the recent, first-ever released Research Strategic Plan on Gulf War Illnesses. This plan will be used to help refine clinical practice and clinical education throughout VA. VA continues to strengthen partnerships to enhance medical surveillance related to potential health impacts on Veterans from the environmental exposures on today's battlefields.
VA and the Department of Defense recently approved a research project to develop a long-term exposure record to collect and share deployment and exposure data between the two Departments, a model informed by lessons learned in earlier Gulf War studies. "This decades-long research and continuing partnership has not only transformed the care and services to Gulf War Veterans, but has also made us smarter about how we care for Veterans of all eras." said Shinseki.
Today, VA is seeking public comments on the draft Task Force report before final publication. The public notice and instructions for how to submit electronic and comments via postal mail will be posted at www.regulations.gov, and the draft written report will be open for comment for 30 days. In addition, VA recognizes that a great number of Gulf War Veterans use the Internet on a daily basis to share their ideas and concerns, so VA has also created a public discussion board on the seven focus areas at: http://vagulfwartaskforce.uservoice.com/. To view the report without making recommendations, please visit VA's website at: http://www.va.gov/opa/publications/Draft_2012_GWVI-TF_Report.pdf.

Today is GeForce GTX 560 Ti day with the launch of the newest mainstream card in NVIDIA's lineup replacing the GeForce GTX 470 SKUs as NVIDIA is not producing GeForce GF100 or its derivatives except for their Tesla and Quadro cards, it is only logical that they produce a GF104 derivative for the same market as the 460 is looking a bit dated. Various manufacturers are releasing GeForce GTX 560 cards today in both reference clock speeds and overclocked speeds.
When NVIDIA first announced the GeForce GTX 480, there was a bit of a letdown as it was not exactly what they showed when they first introduced the architecture with 480 CUDA cores (one Shader Multiprocessor disabled from a possible 16 ). The modular nature of the NVIDIA GPUs means NVIDIA can disable clusters and sell a different card using the same chip. They did that with the GTX 470 which disabled another SM. Last year NVIDIA launched the GTX 460 card for the mainstream which used the GF104 chip. This chip had 384 Shaders on it with one SM disabled, meaning 336 SPs active. Today's GeForce GTX 560 Ti chip uses the GF114 chip which has the same structure as the GF104 chip but with all SPs active.
ASUS is one of my favorite video card and motherboard manufacturers being the number one motherboard manufacturer in the world. They release new video cards every time AMD or NVIDIA releases a new card. Today as I stated is GeForce GTX 560 Ti launch day and ASUS is releasing cards to coincide with it. As is usual with their cards, ASUS is releasing overclocked versions of the GTX 560 Ti. Today's review is on the newest card from ASUS the ENGTX 560 Ti DCII TOP/2DI/1GD5 card. This is the GTX 560 version of their DualCU II TOP card that was first introduced with the HD 6870 DirectCU II card that was recently launched. There is a ton of material to cover on the new card from ASUS so let's start with the Features.

But what about going one step further, what about discovering the Golden Twenty Tens
That's what you're about to experience. Our creative and technological solutions can give you perfect performance for your campaigns... supported by figures!
Now that we know each other, let´s do crazy stuff and be ready to jump into the Golden Twenty Tens where everything is measurable!
Stûv is a Design Stoves specialist.
The company was created in 1983 and even if the beginning was difficult, it increased its turnover by 20 to 30% from 1995 to 2005 and by 100% in 2006. Enjoying good brand awareness in a growing market, Stûv recently met with a slowdown due to the economic crisis in addition to increasing competition.
How to meet the short-term turnover objective?
How to improve the brand awareness?
In order to generate new leads in a short period of time, Adjust proposes an action composed of a mini "responsive design" website boosted by a Google Adwords and POS campaign.
Brand awareness has been boosted by a medium-term campaign consisting of a radio campaign and content production on social networks such as Pinterest, YouTube and Facebook.
The activation campaign generated a lot of registrations in a month. 35% of them were converted into sales.
In November (during the action), sales increased by nearly 20%!
The social networks and corporate website have a constant growth related to the brand budget.
Next step
Activation campaigns on the social networks are scheduled to gather the social community around the brand.
As a producer, Stûv depends on its resellers. That's why a B2B action will provide professional networks with new solutions to improve their marketing efficiency.
After a ten-year absence, Moulinex returned to Belgium in 2010!
After this long period of time, and even though the brand was well known by householders, Moulinex needed to improve its brand awareness and refresh its image.
Give Moulinex a creative and updated image on social networks.
Create a Facebook community around the brand.
Attract new Facebook fans and keep their loyalty.
First of all Adjust created a concept that is sympathetic enough to respect the brand's popularity but original enough to win a place in fan's hearts. The Chef was born!
The newborn is now ready to present a new theme each month (Christmas, Halloween,...) coupled with a range of products.
In addition, he takes part in a contest program aiming to thank the community for their loyalty and at the same time attract new fans.
Finally, a community manager was recruited to manage the Facebook Page while remaining consistent with the strategy implemented.
In two years and with minimal media support, Adjust generated nearly 17.000 Fans with a high level of involvement.
Next step
The Chef will take part in new digital tools such as website and mobile applications.
RichesMonts proposes cheese products, particularly raclette cheese.
A large part of sales is concentrated during the cold period (autumn, winter) and RicheMonts needs to improve its turnover during that period.
Capture the attention of a younger target (students) by appropriating the winter sport period in order to improve January and February turnover.
The agency created a competition via a mini-site based on Facebook Connect which offers web-surfers the opportunity to "Richemonise" their friends, or at least photos of them.
In an instant, each picture magically becomes "mountain sun-tanned" and is posted straight onto the participant's wall, bringing them points that they collect in order to win winter sport trips, etc.
The action is backed up by a bannering and magazine campaign, while the ROI is assured by a POS campaign where additional points are added for purchases of the brand's products.
On the technical side, the Smartphone channel is taken care of via a QR-code present on the advertisements and posters. So while the schuss is not guaranteed, the buzz certainly is!
The numbers of unique visitors on the website confirm that the action was a total success.
According to brand information, January sales improved by nearly 13% and February by more than 16%.
ORES is a new "intercommunale" born from the Electrabel network which supplies gas and electricity, and fixes cables and pipes after storms... in the whole of Wallonia.
Create a new brand identity and build brand awareness.
The identity had to represent sympathy, protection and be representative of the services (gas and electricity).
This new organization has to be rapidly well known by customers who already consume the ORES services under another name.
In addition to the identity, the agency had to develop the whole brand communication : clothing, vehicles, radio spot, website design, activation campaign, graphic chart,...
Sometime later, a brand awareness campaign was launched to reinforce! brand recognition and was composed of digital media and radio.
ORES now benefits from high brand awareness with its target market and is now recognized for its gas and electricity management services.
For the world-famous french brand we created and developed a corporate website in Responsive Web Design to introduce the "Cookeo", new kitchen machine by Moulinex.
We also wrote two mobile applications, iOS and Android, to quickly browse through the 50+ recipes available and never fail at cooking again.
The VAL BENO!T is an architectural project sustained by the Liège Provincial Development Agency ( SPI ) located at the south entrance of Liège, on the Meuse River. It is aiming to boost business activity in this part of the city by creating an attractive co-working area for companies to settle in. We worked alongside Hoet & Hoet to bring life to a full communication plan including strategy, print and digital.
We have refreshed Seb's brand image and have adapted it to the Belgian market.
In support of the launch of the new Linizio Lungo capsule, Nespresso and Borderline called up the digital skills of Adjust. Our mission: produce a response-oriented mini site presenting a call to action in the form of a film (how to win a breakfast at home) with questions to select the winners.
Connected to the Nespresso Club data base, the action was dediacted exclusively to Nespresso Club members. Results show an impressive number of visitors; proof that members of the Nespresso Club really appreciate the new grands crus!
Cut Cut Contest
The Moulinex brand is back in Belgium after 10 years.
We were contributing to this come back with an action via a Facebook app combined with adverts and presence points of sale.
This viral action is starting well, knowing that the Moulinex Belgium page has already achieved nearly 17,000 'likes' so far.
We also takes in charge the brand community management.
ORES supplies gas and electricity, fixes cables and pipes after storms... in the whole Wallonia.
We Created of a flipbook for the animation of the communication campaign and a dynamic form to fill with your postcode to receive direct information.
The communication department and the IT department of ORES have a full access to the website thanks to a CMS development.
We also were in charge of the templates creation for the corporate site, by supplying different pictures ready for cut-out and HTML conversion.
Van de Frit and sales leads
For SEB and SEB's revolutionary "one-oil-spoon" fryer Actifry, we conceptualized the "Van de Frit" family.
We digitalized the concept ( website, social networks, action mini-websites, bannering ) and used it in print ( POS and brochures )
We also worked on increasing brand reputation using Facebook contests and community management.
And it was effective: the Facebook page gained 10000+ fans in two weeks time.
Finally we have been commissioned by the brand to recruit sales leads.
We used an action mini-website ( action.actifry.be ) supported by Google ads, remarketing and e-mailing campaigns.
Corporate and recruitment
In addition to the creation of the new belgian corporate brand site we also have been asked to conduct a sales lead recruitment campaign.
We handled it with a mini-website action.krups.be connected with Google Ads, remarketing and e-mailings.
Systemat Cloud
Adjust sends Systemat up to the "Cloud"
Systemat gave Adjust the opportunity to handle the launching campaign of its new Cloud offer in Belgium and Luxemburg. After having designed both digital and corporate identities for Systemat Cloud and a didactical 2 minutes animated movie, the agency produced a website ( cloud-systemat.com ) introducing a brand new "Cloud" character especially created the occasion.
To activate the product, a digital campaign was set on track to enhance brand awareness via bannering, Google Ads, Google Remarketing, LinkedIn and Facebook.
In the meantime, an action based on the corporate was launched to offer to the targeted audience a free migration of all their IT tools to the Systemat Cloud ( action.cloud-systemat.com )

Just a quick note to let you know how pleased we are with the text messaging service SportCheck provides. It is so user friendly and our customers just love it. We are into our 4th month now and it has had a noticeable impact on sales. It has definitely put us ahead of the competition and provides a much more direct connection with our customers as they are not always in a position to pick up their email or available to take a phone call. There is no reference to SportCheck in the messages that go out so our early concerns about this have been well and truly satisfied.
While we haven't really needed it since we got underway with the service, the back up and support provided by your support team has been fast and faultless.
Foodchain Limited
Netball Hutt Valley has been using Sport Check txt cancellation service for two seasons now. Currently we have over 250 teams playing netball on a Saturday and having this text cancellation service has proved invaluable to our members and our centre. The system is easy to use and administer allowing the centre to have full control of deleting or adding team as well as checking how many members have signed up or to what teams.
This season we introduced Division Codes which meant players were able to text their primary, intermediate or senior code to a specific text number which made the process even easier for players to register.
With parents and players already busy on a Saturday with other codes of sport the ease of finding out if Netball is cancelled by receiving a text messaging is proving most beneficial and is now our number one cancellation service provided to players.

Centre Manager

Read the original testimonial
By the way, our club thinks this system is great & this season it will be the only way our club gets cancellation messages out to teams. In previous years we have had about 3 different systems, so this will mean alot less work for us coordinators. Our senior members of the club are also going to use this system, which previously they never had.
The system works very well for us. Our biggest problem is getting members to put in entry forms for swimming meets on time. We email, put notices on the board and continually tell swimmers of the closing dates, but the text system works the best. There can be no excuses for late entries with sportcheck it doesn't matter if the swimmer is away they still get the message. In fact we haven't had anyone who is on sportcheck miss the deadline.
Dallas Couvee
Harbourside Netball Center Tauranga NZ
On behalf of the Management team and Members of Harbourside Netball Centre we would like to say a huge thank you to the sportcheck team for implementing such a great tool. Since our netball centre was introduced to Sportcheck in 2007 cancellations were an absolute nightmare. Members never heard the cancellation over the radio and just assumed that netball would continue and of course we would have to shoulder the abuse from irate parents. Now cancellations are hassle free and it is wonderful.
Our members were made aware right from the outset that it would cost 50c to receive the text, but as they say it is better than driving all the way over to netball for nothing especially with the rising cost of fuel.
Once the decision is made by us to cancel, all I do is send a text from my mobile phone and it goes to all registered members.
I recommend that all sports organisation should register to Sportcheck as it is well worth it. Give it a go as it does not cost the organisation very much at all to make the service available to their members
Helen Dodge
Prior to the implementation of the Sportcheck text messaging system, King's School had been looking for a better way of getting messages out to parents when there are important and unexpected schedule changes. We had traditionally used a phone tree system which would inevitably breakdown and messages would not necessarily get to all concerned in a timely and reliable manner.
In an effort to keep abreast with the technology that is available today, getting text messages to mobile phones was the obvious step. The cost and complexity of developing our own text messaging system was not viable so after researching what was available on the market, we contacted Sportcheck.
It did not take long to realise that the Sportcheck text messaging system would offer us a flexible and cost efficient solution.
Once the decision was made to move forward with Sportcheck, we were up and running within three weeks. A lot of this time was spent introducing the concept to the school community, while the actual implementation was relatively seamless and, from memory, only took a few days.
We have had the system up and running for eight months now and it has proved invaluable to the school and has received very positive feedback.
There are numerous examples where the system has been used successfully by the school, these include cross-country start times, school camps delay of departures and returns, sporting fixture cancellations and venue changes.
Furthermore, the backup and support of the Sportcheck staff has been timely and efficient.

Hi SportCheck
Thanks for all your help in setting us up with SportsCheck this season. I have to admit it's a relief to have it all done and to find out how easy it was.
Tui McCaughey
Centre Co-ordinator
Netball Rodney Centre
I highly recommend the sportcheck service to everyone. The set-up is quick,inexpensive and the service is very user-friendly. The technology that sportcheck uses is very practical, allowing administrators to communicate changes via cellphone and internet. This is useful for a person like me who is always on the go.
As someone who has played outdoor sports for many years, I have found it frustrating to wait for radio broadcasts/website updates or a call from the team manager. So as an administrator, the major selling point was the ability for us to communicate cancellations/changes directly to players in just one message (although there are other great features too).
We have sportcheck set up for participants in our local competition, and will be expanding this in 2010 to include communication for secondary school, regional and national tournaments.
This is a service that everyone can afford - and you cannot afford to turn it down. Simply put: time saved and money well spent.
Huni Yerkovich
Operations Manager
Auckland Softball Association
...."We were delighted with how well the system worked following the aftershocks on 13 June. Immediately after the initial quake, the school was able to send a text message to notify parents and caregivers that the children were safe and to inform parents to collect children as soon as possible"...
Paul Sibson, Principal
Christchurch Junior Cricket Association
....The system is easy to use and administer allowing the association the ability to distribute instant messages to a large number of members. Last season there were over 680 members from cricket clubs and schools who registered to receive text messages.....
....I recommend other sports clubs and organisations register with SportCheck as it is well worth it. It provides a very valuable service for your members, and is the most efficient and reliable way to get relevant information instantly to your members wherever they might be.
Barry Hazeldine - CJCA Manager

Where to start: Finding blueprints to build your new home
Finding the blueprints for your house is easier than you think with thousands of different home plans to choose from. Most customers want to know how to start their search.
The most important items are to determine your budget, the square footage that coordinates with your budget, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms you'll need, and the architectural style that you prefer. As you search, start by using basic search parameters which will give you a greater search results.
Home Plans: The details matters
Small details can make a big difference in the livability of your new home. Make sure your home blueprints include the important items on your wish list.
A lot of families look for house design plans that include large kitchens, mud rooms, patios and outdoor kitchens, large master suites with his-and-her closets and bonus spaces like attic areas that can be finished at any time.
Make a list of your "must-haves" that you'll want in your house designs.
Free House Plans and True Savings

Going Green: Home Blueprints that save energy
With rising energy costs and global efforts to be energy efficient, adding green, energy efficient details to your home plans and home designs can increase the value of your house significantly. Consider adding an ENERGY STAR package to your house blueprints to have your new home built and certified to ENERGY STAR standards.

Read critical information about what you should know before purchasing house plans.
Innovation to give your house a personal touch
There are so many innovative products that you'll want to consider as you select your home blueprints. Most house designs can incorporate the latest high tech products and services like the latest smart home features that allow you to control your home from any location.
When searching home plans, think about the products you'll want to incorporate like radiant flooring and wireless sound systems. Most of the time, it's much more economical to incorporate these types of products during construction and not post-construction.
Modified house blueprints have never been this easy
Modifying house plans is much easier than you might think. Many of our customer's changes to their house designs are simple red line changes made directly on the blueprint with their builder.
For example, changing a window size or placement, or changing a closet to a powder room is a red line change. When selecting your house design plans, look for a plan that needs the least changes. Free house plans are usually a gimmick, but The House Designers offer free modification estimates and will try to find you a plan that needs the least changes to save you money.
Our house plans and your dream home
The House Designers represents the best architects and residential designers in the county and has the highest design standards in the industry for house plan designs. Our house plan blueprints are from custom designs that were drawn for families and couples all over the world.

Matt's Four-Pepper Collards from 'The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen'
The four-pepper collards in Matt and Ted Lee's new cookbook, The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen, was inspired by the peppery taste of the plant's budding tips. A plethora of greens are stewed with a piquant mix of red jalapeño, poblano, smoked paprika, and a generous grind of pepper. Cooked for the better part of an hour, the greens develop a supple, tender texture with a pleasant undercurrent of heat.
Why I picked this recipe: Long-stewed collards are a Southern classic, and the Lee brothers' fiery use of peppers was an intriguing twist.
What worked: A gentle braise is the perfect way to cook collards to tenderness; the additional peppers were a bonus.
What didn't: I thought the greens could have used a bit more salt and vinegar, but that's an easy table-side remedy.
Suggested tweaks: If you can't find red jalapeños, you can use green ones instead; just add a bit of red bell pepper for color. You can substitute another hearty green, such as curly kale or mustard greens, in place of the collards, or even give the dish a twist by cooking them all together. The recipe yields quite a bit of food, so if you're not cooking for a big party, you might want to cut it in half.
Excerpted with permission from The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen, copyright 2013 by Matt Lee and Ted Lee. Published by Clarkson Potter, a division of Random House. All rights reserved. Available wherever books are sold.
- Yield:Serves 8
- Active time: 20 minutes
- Total time:1 hour and 45 minutes
- 1/4 cup peanut or canola oil
- 3 jalapeño peppers, preferably red, seeded and chopped
- 1 large poblano chili, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup chopped yellow or white onion (about 1 medium)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 4 pounds collard greens (about 3 bunches), stems trimmed, leaves rolled and sliced into 3/4-inch-thick ribbons (about 5 quarts)
Pour the oil into a large stockpot over medium-high heat, and when it shimmers, add all of the remaining ingredients except the collards. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the peppers appear dry, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the collards to the pot by handfuls, moving them around with a wooden spoon and folding them into the peppers at the bottom of the pan, until the greens appear wilted, slick, and slightly darkened, about 5 minutes.
Add 6 cups of water and cover. When the liquid first begins to simmer, stir once, turn the heat to medium low, and cover. Simmer for 1 hour and stir again. Serve drained, but still wet with the broth.
