The Centre for Rural and Remote Area Health (CRRAH) held interactive research workshops in eight towns in Southern Queensland. The purpose of the workshops was to determine what health providers considered were major issues affecting their service and for these results to inform future research strategy of CRRAH. Over 150 organisations identified as either providing health services or having a significant interest in health provision in one or more of the targeted towns were invited to attend. The workshops used the nominal group technique to identify what the participants considered were key health issues in the geographical area in which they worked. These issues were then prioritised by the participants. Thematic analysis of the issues generated a ranking of themes by importance. Results were compared with a similar exercise undertaken in 2003. Participants from organisation directly involved with health care were complemented at the workshops by representatives from local government, the police service and church groups. A total of 85 participants representing 47 services and 41 different organisations attended the eight workshops. Issues generated by the participants were pooled into seventeen themes. Workforce issues were by far the major concern of health providers. Recruitment and retention of health workers were a major concern. The other four highest ranked themes across all workshops were mental health, access to health services, perceptions and expectations of consumers of health services and interagency cooperation. Aged care was an additional theme that generated a lot of concern at several of the workshops. The workshops provided important information to CRRAH for developing research strategy. Additionally, several new alliances among health providers were developed which will support sharing of information and resources. The workshops enabled rural and remote organisations to meet and identify the key health issues and supported research planning. Much need alliances among health providers were forged and collaborative research avenues are being explored. The workshop forum is an excellent means of information exchange.

Apparently the 2013 event is already being planned and will use rockets so large that it will be possible to see them going off, according to Richard Garland of the Rome/Floyd Park and Recreation Authority, "from anywhere in the city."
That's hard to imagine. This is a pretty big city in land area, if not so much in population. If everybody living from Stonebridge on the north to near Lindale on the south, Maplewood on the east to Garden Lakes on the west will be able to basically look for an open spot in the forest they call home and see this show, that would really be something. Heck, if such a show became an annual event it might even draw spectators from all over the region.
Harbin Clinic, which sponsored the display this year, will apparently be joined in 2013 by Parker FiberNet, whose David Parker happens to be a certified pyrotechnician when not speeding data along high-speed lines. He wants to use Jackson Hill as a launching pad. That would allow 8-inch shells toting up to 14 pounds of explosives to be fired whereas the current riverfront location is limited to 5-inch shells with 6 pounds of bang.
Frankly, anything that allows Greater Rome to make its presence known in a loud and visible manner is to be encouraged given it is sometimes difficult to tell whether state leaders even know this part of the state exists.

I think the newspaper article tells it all. I feel a little bit sorry for my Uncle John, but not too much. Being a vegetarian, I don't have too much sympathy for him regarding the limit to meat in his diet. Knowing all about the food shortages and rationing that our nation endured during World War II, I am a lot more sympathetic. It was a hard time and every one made sacrifices. To view the article above, click on it.
This article was found on the same page of the newpaper as the meat rationing article. My grandfather is presumably still heading in that direction. It has been about 3 weeks since the Marines landed at Guadalcanal. After about three weeks at sea, my grandfather should be approaching his final destination.
Letter transcription:
Kentland Ind
Sept 1-1942
Dear Daddy,
The first day of Sept. It doesn't seem so hot and humid today. At least it hasn't bothered me so far but it is just noon and I don't know what it will be this afternoon. Yesterday the perspiration just trickled down, while I was taking a nap. The nights have been cool and that helps. I am still home-haven't gone to Lafayette yet but may go this evening or tomorrow-depending on how I feel.
John was hunting in
(page 2) the morning paper for a news item for school and the headlines were about meat rationing. You can guess his reaction. He wanted to know how much we had or if we could get more.
I talked to the bandmaster and I may be able to trade the old horn in on something for Mark. Since a trumpet is about the hardest horn to blow I am going to try and get him something easy, because I am afraid he wouldn't last long with the trumpet. He is so thrilled about being in the band I want him to remain so.
(page 3) Mr. Webster looked over the hold horn and said it was still in good condition so maybe someone else can use it and get some good out of it.
I hear Link mowing his lawn. John started on ours this yesterday but it was so hot he didn't get much done. The last rain we had made it grow and it has been so humid ever since. The boys thought they would be thru mowing in Aug.
Mark is waiting to mail this and is getting impatient to go so must hurry.
(page 4) Not much in the way of news today

Nico Perrino
Nico graduated from Indiana University-Bloomington in 2012 with a B.A. in journalism and history. While in school, Nico was a member of the track and field team and served as president of the campus' chapter of Young Americans for Liberty. He also served as Editor-in-Chief for the Indiana Standard and as a reporter and columnist for the Indiana Daily Student. After spending the summer at FIRE in 2010 as an intern, Nico became active in the fight to protect student rights on campus through a position in the student government as Co-Executive Director of Legal Affairs and in his capacity as a journalist. He has been recognized for these efforts with a second-place finish in FIRE's Campus Freedom Network (CFN) 2011 Incentive Program, induction into the CFN's Prometheus Society, and also as a winner of 1 for All and the Knight Foundation's 2011 "Free to Tweet" contest. Nico's experience defending student rights on campus, coupled with his internship experiences at ESPN, Indiana University Press, Hirons & Company, and as a member of FIRE's 2010 internship class, make him a natural fit to defend these rights full time.

How to get a Class 6 motorcycle licence if you already have a B.C. driver's licence.
If you're an experienced driver with a Class 1–5 driver's licence, you can get your motorcycle licence by following these steps:
To qualify, you must
Your parent or a legal guardian must give consent for your application if you're under 19.
To prepare for the knowlege test, study the Learn to Ride Smart guide.
The motorcyle knowledge test has 40 multiple-choice questions and takes about 30 minutes.
After passing the knowledge test, you get a motorcycle learner's licence (Class 6L).
Now you can practice riding—with some restrictions. For example, you can't go faster than 60 km/h or ride with passengers.
While practising, use the Tuning up for Riders guide. It will help you apply safe-riding skills each time you go out for a ride.
After at least 14 days (or passing a certified training course), you take a Class 6 motorcycle skills test.
When you pass this test, two riding restrictions are removed.
After holding your Class 6L learner's licence for at least 30 days, you take the Class 6 road test.
If you pass the road test, you're issued a Class 6 motorcycle licence. This is a full-privilege licence. All learner restrictions are removed.

Friday Box Office: DIE HARD and SAFE HAVEN Battle It Out for Number One with $7.2 Million and $7.1 Million; BEAUTIFUL CREATURES Sinks
by Adam Chitwood Posted: February 16th, 2013 at 9:21 am
The holiday weekend is off and running at the box office, and it's a battle of brawn over sap as A Good Day to Die Hard and Safe Haven are neck-and-neck for the top spot. The fifth entry in the Die Hard franchise netted near-universal negative reviews, and now the pic is performing slightly under expectations at the box office as the actioner took in an estimated $7.2 million on Friday to add to its $8.2 million take on Valentine's Day Thursday. Nipping at Die Hard's heels is the Nicholas Sparks adaptation Safe Haven, which scored an estimated $7.1 million on Friday to combine with its $8.8 million gross on Thursday. Warner Bros.' YA adaptation Beautiful Creatures, however, fell flat with a paltry $2.3 million on Friday that puts it in the number 6 slot overall and on track for a very low $11.5 million weekend. All of this despite the fact that Beautiful Creatures garnered considerably more positive reviews than both Die Hard and Safe Haven. We'll have full details tomorrow.
Title | Friday | Total | |
1. | A Good Day to Die Hard | $7,250,000 | $15.4 |
2. | Safe Haven | $7,150,000 | $15.9 |
3. | Identity Thief | $6,500,000 | $53.7 |
4. | Escape from Planet Earth | $3,702,000 | $3.7 |
5. | Warm Bodies | $2,600,000 | $43.8 |

In 1714 George Ludwig, the fifty-eight year old elector of Brunswick-Luneburg became, as George I, the first of the Hanoverian dynasty to rule Britain. Until his death in 1727 George served as both elector of Hanover and British monarch. An enigmatic figure whose real character has long been concealed by anti-Hanoverian propaganda, George emerges in this ground-breaking biography as an impressive ruler who grasped the responsibilities the accession brought him and set out to bring culture to what he considered the unsophisticated English nation. Ragnhild Hatton's biography is the only comprehensive account of George's life and reign. It draws on a wide range of archival sources in several languages to illuminate the fascinating details of George's early life and dynastic crises, his plans and ambitions for the British nation, the impact of his rationalist ideas and his accomplishments as king. The book also examines George's personal life, his family relationships in both Prussia and England, his private interest in music and the arts and the improvement of his British and Hanoverian properties. Ragnhild Hatton was professor of international history at the University of London and the author of 'Charles XII of Sweden' (1968), 'Europe in the Age of Louis XIV' (1969) and 'Louis XIV and his World' (1972). Jeremy Black, who has written a new foreword for this edition, is professor of history at the University of Exeter.
The late Ragnhild Hatton was professor of international history at the University of London. Jeremy Black, professor of history at the University of Exeter, is the author of numerous books, including War and the World (ISBN 0 300 08285 1, pb. ?11.50) and Maps and History (ISBN 0 300 08693 8, pb. ?12.50), both published by Yale University Press.

From the Editor's Desk
Letter to the Editor: District 15 Schedule Changes
Palatine resident and District 15 parent of two, Lisa Beth Szczupaj writes about the proposed "Wednesday Late Start Program" and resulting communication and activities in opposition of the idea.
I would like to take a moment to keep you up to date as to the activity in District 15 in regard to the proposed "Wednesday Late Start Program". A number of local parents have commenced a call and letter writing campaign on this topic. Many parents are quite upset about this and feel that Scott Thompson has not represented the parents and children in this issue but has simply chosen the easy route in doing whatever the teachers' union wanted with no input from stakeholders or communication as to the motivation behind the decision. Following repeated requests for an opportunity to voice our concerns, Mr. Thompson has agreed to host an open discussion on this topic on Saturday the 26th of January from 9 - 11 AM in the Board Room at …

9:16 pm on Monday, January 14, 2013
shame on Thompson he brought this mess to our schools. This issues should have been brought to the taxpayers prior to any changes to the contract If the parents/students don't want it and the teachers don't want it WHY EVEN CONSIDER IT   more ›

Our blogs have a new begin
Consider of our blogs to get innovative ideas on how to get successful in dating.
The power of love is what brings two souls into one soul. Life does not make any sense without a partner. And if you've missed your love, then everything around you seems to have dried up and it seems pointless to live.
When you have true love, everything around you seems to colorful, happy and alone, but the problem is that it is not easy to find true love. A search for a time of course, always makes time for you can not find so easily.
There are many young single women and men who want to meet singles and to be in love for a long time and to have a sincere relationship, but are not finding the right person. Online dating sites have everything you need to find your true love. Just register with them so that you can find the number of single men or women who have already made their profile.
These sites that provide dating services , say they love singles online to match your personality and habits of people who spend the rest of life. Then only can make an appointment and the cycle starts from text messages, phone calls long.
All these things allow individuals to cope with their partner before deciding to make a big decision to marry someone. As soon as the marriage will fail if you do not like you married again or not know their habits and routines.

The Guardian has started a games-blog, just in time to respond to the hysteria in the fishwrap Daily Mail about "killer games" that "inspire real world violence."
Yesterday the Daily Mail invited readers to visit its online chatroom and respond to a typically ferocious anti-videogame rant, which took up two pages of the newspaper. Strangely, by 5pm the same evening, the 'should violent videogames be banned?' thread had been removed 'pending review', much to the confusion of those who were involved in what seemed to be a lively and mostly intelligent discussion. Could the reason perhaps have been that general opinion was very much against the proposition? Not to be silenced, however, visitors have started the thread again, and it's worth a look – in stark contrast to the paper itself, you should find some in-depth, well-considered and informed responses to a tragic incident. Unless it's all been removed for 'review' again...Link (Thanks, Neil!)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I've been looking back over the surviving poems I wrote between the ages of 12 and 17 and they're largely so bad it makes me want to cry. Every time I've run a poetry workshop in a school I've been struck by how good the students are – how they mostly write with an intuitive straightforwardness that put my efforts, 15 years ago, to shame. I wrote poetry in between 15,000 word science fiction stories as, I guess, a kind of light relief from working out the plot-mechanics of time-travel. Take your most self-indulgent, self-piteous diary entry, double it, add a few overblown metaphors, no less than five clichés and put in some arbitrary line-breaks. At least I wasn't endstopping. At 14:
the inky black void surrounds me.
'Have you got a light?' you ask.
I have no light.
(from 'Your Party')
Over the next couple of years I can chart my progress from lachrymose junior melancholiac to obscurist renegade poltroon. I was still writing about how I felt a bit unhappy sometimes, but now I was doing it with ridiculously opaque images which didn't even mean anything to me, let alone whoever I imagined might read them. I progressed from the existential bedsit miserablism of:
The eyes of these four walls bore into me."
(from the distressingly long 'These Four Walls')
(NB: I did not live in a bedsit, but had my own room in a nice semi-detached house with my loving family. I believe I had a Garfield mug hanging on the wall, and a poster of Jennifer Aniston) to the "experimental" bedsit miserablism of:
your gaze begins its sprung crash through layer
upon pliant layer of the internal
(by no means the worst couplet from 'Behind the Pen')
Which is completely meaningless, hand-gnawingly, howlingly embarrassing (I am howling as I type this. The internal what ? How can a gaze crash? What the hell are you thinking? Gaaaaaaaaah!) and I only share it with you as a warning. The thing about bad poetry is that it's almost entirely identical; it could have been written by anyone with a word processer, an over-developed sense of self-pity and an under-developed awareness of cliché. My excuse, looking back, is simple: I wasn't reading. I didn't start engaging with contemporary poetry until I was eighteen and my favourite English teacher started lending me stuff.
I suppose that's one of the things I'll be looking for, indeed one of the things I always look for, whatever the purpose: evidence of reading, of actually liking poetry. I'm not talking about quoting, paraphrasing or using lengthy epigrams. I'm talking about the confidence and directness that only comes from wide reading and engaging with contemporary writing and thinking, 'That's what it is! I can do that!' The alternative is sitting in your room, a one-woman or one-man avant-garde. It's the road that leads to vanity publishing, alcohol abuse and a sense of entitlement to a readership you've never bothered looking for.

2004 Grand AM, a pleasant surprise.
by Phillip K, Tucson AZ on 12/19/2004.
Trim: 2004 Pontiac Grand Am SE Sedan, Owned less than 1 year.
I like the exterior & interior style of the Grand AM. The acceleration of the vehicle surprised me, very quick for that class of car. Car seems relatively smooth and i was a Lincoln Mark VIII owner before this vehicle.
The car could be wider and more leg room in the back seat.
Overall review:
Very satisfied with my purchase, slightly concerned about owning the car for years. Will it hold up?

A real Lemmon! Stay away from this poorly assembled car.
by Frank San Antonio, Texas on 12/05/2012.
Trim: 2004 Pontiac Grand Am SE Sedan, Owned 8 years.
Good looking car style. Handles well.
Car moldings falling off. Dash knobs falling off. Driver window fell off track. Car pass system failed. Windshield molding came off. Ignition problems, etc.
Overall review:
The most unreliable and problematic car that I have ever owned. Sold it 6 months after I bought it.

The worst decision we ever made!
by sjcrane1975 on 08/23/2011.
Trim: 2004 Pontiac Grand Am SE Sedan, Owned 3 years.
I like the large trunk space and the room in the back seats for multiple passeners.
We've replaced the wheel bearing 3 times, flushed the transmission twice, the car is about the most expensive you can find for a used vehicle. The gps port aka the cigarette lighter hasn't worked since we drove it off the lot, the driver side window won't roll up or down because the piece needing to be replaced is plastic and we'd have to purchase a new door to fix the window. This is NOT a user friendly vehicle at all!!!
The gears jar you when going from 1st shift into 2nd and the reliability lessens every day. If we'd known the vehicle was this bad, we'd have NEVER bought it.
Overall review:
Do not buy this vehicle. You'll regret it from day one.

Over the past year it has become apparent that the winding down of redevelopment is complicated, confusing, and frustrating. As a result, there continues to be a need to provide post-redevelopment education for successor agencies, cities and counties and to disseminate information at a level of detail sufficient to assist in effectively administering post-redevelopment activities. There is also a need for cities and counties to develop a network for public officials and practitioners to share information and meet and discuss the in's and out's of working with the State Department of Finance, County Auditor Controllers, and Oversight Boards. Renewing your CRA membership will allow you and your organization the opportunity to network with colleagues, practitioners, and public officials in continuing your transition in the post-redevelopment environment.
To better serve your organization, CRA will continue in its role in providing professional development, technical assistance, and public information programs that focus on post-redevelopment and local economic development activities. And while CRA's mission has changed, our commitment and dedication to our members have not.
We begin with a new tag line that meets the mission of the organization—"Serving Successor Agencies of California." CRA will provide successor agencies, as well as cities and counties, with up-to-date post-redevelopment information. We will continue conducting webinars and workshops on topics such as best practices related to dissolution. Featured topics in the coming months will include updates from the Department of Finance on post-redevelopment legislation; problems facing bond issuance and complying with bond covenants; preparing a property management plan; the latest on the affordable housing front; and strategies for litigation.
As a member of CRA, your organization will receive a 30 percent discount on registration fees for webinars and workshops. Having you and your staff attend a couple of these webinars and workshops at the reduced rate will almost pay for the renewal of your CRA membership. Other services your organization will receive as a CRA members include:

"The Decatur Wuxtry, serving the Emory community, is only inferior to the Athens location by comparison."
"Whoever stocks this place has great taste (IMHO) and the used selection is incredible (if only it were easier to look throught the used CDs!)"
Spend plenty of time, not money, digging for treasures at this popular local record store.. The SceneHidden behind a blanket of posters in an unassuming Decatur strip mall, Wuxtry is the epitome of an independent record store. Given its wall-to-wall selection, shopping here is not for those short on patience, but the prices work for those who are short on funds.The GoodsEnter Wuxtry and be greeted by row upon row of musty musts. In an effort to conserve space, plastic sleeved booklets display CDs, both used and new. Glass display cabinets are stocked with box sets and deluxe editions. One wall holds bins of rock vinyl, while the back room houses a renowned jazz selection. Of course, keeping it all alphabetized is an Herculean task, and you have to be willing to flip for a while. However, the likelihood that you'll find something you didn't even know you wanted is higher than the prices.
My favorite shop. The Decatur Wuxtry, serving the Emory community, is only inferior to the Athens location by comparison. This is still the place to go for Atlanta music and all sorts of esoterica. It's crowded, covered with handbills, packed, uncomfortable and absolutely beautiful in every way. Not kid-friendly. The staffers have the expected indie aura, but they've never once failed to show me courtesy in hunting down local stock.
Worth the trip. I have two fine independent record stores within a couple of blocks from me, but when I want a real kid-in-a-candy store shopping experience I always make the drive to Wuxtry. Whoever stocks this place has great taste (IMHO) and the used selection is incredible (if only it were easier to look throught the used CDs!). Plus, the staff is a little more down to earth than the competition.

The Art of Google Books
Somewhere between medieval marginalia and the Google Street View based works of Jon Rafman and Doug Rickard lies The Art of Google Books.
The manuscript digitization process, along with the gestures of the scanning archivist's hand, and the idiosynchracies of the printed page, can occasionally lead to strange and beautiful new images—"re-photographs" as described by Krissy Wilson, the creator of the blog.
The rephotography I am talking about is what happens when you take a photograph of a photograph — the idea that, were one to take a photo of the Mona Lisa, you would not have a copy of the Mona Lisa, but a photograph, authored by the photographer. I see the images produced by Google Books employees as photographs, in that sense.
The above is a selection of recent discoveries:
1. Marble paper endsheets, from the Bavarian State Library, digitized January 26, 2010.
2. "Poor scanning creates text whirlpool," from Oxford University, digitized August 2, 2006.
3. Hand Transit, via microecos.
4. Extreme text-stretch, submitted by microscopic.
5. "Who is to blame (for this distortion)?" from the University of California, digitized July 13, 2007.
6. Armand Seguin, Les fleurs du mal, 1892, as found on the digital cover of Dario Gamboni's Potential images: ambiguity and indeterminacy in modern art, via mythologyofblue.
7. Elaborately designed endpapers digitized in high contrast, from the University of Michigan, digitized May 29, 2007.
8. "Apparently the front and back cover of the book." from the Bavarian State Library, digitized September 27, 2011.
9. Intermittent autolinking on the title page, from the Bavarian State Library, digitized February 6, 2012.
10. Aurora Borealis plate with neon color distortion, from the New York Public Library, digitized February 2, 2009.To submit your own "unexpected peculiarities" found in Google Books, or to browse the archive beyond the above selection, visit theartofgooglebooks.tumblr.com.

Choose the days you travel by train
A pass with "10 or 15 days within 2 months" means that you get 10 or 15 travel days of train travel within a period of 2 months. This type of pass is sometimes referred to as a "flexi pass".
If you order a Global Pass - 10 days within 2 months and you activate your pass to be valid from April 1 to May 30, you can choose any 10 days during that period on which to travel by train. Travel days are flexible so you can decide on the go when you use each one.
Available with all passes
All Eurail passes are available with this type of validity. The number of travel days and the pass validity varies depending on the pass type and the selected country(s). You can
view Eurail passes to see all the different options available.
Using travel days
When traveling with a pass it's important that you write the date of each travel day in the Travel Calendar on your pass, before boarding the first train of that day.
When traveling on a direct night train departing after 7 p.m. (19:00) and arriving after 4 a.m. (04:00), you just need to fill in the date of arrival in the travel calendar. This is known as the 7 p.m. rule.

Life without ToutApp would mean "Less Deals Done"
Our featured User of the Week entry comes from Matt Ellsworth, VP of Growth, at Storefront. Every week or so, we'll profile a different user who uses our app to improve their email productivity. If you would like to be featured in the future, you can apply here.
Storefront is a marketplace for short term retail real estate. Artists, eCommerce companies, designers, online retailers and sellers often times are in the market looking for short term real estate which can be difficult to find. What we do is take the legwork out - our team works with brokers and landlords in order to find amazing retail spaces for people to lease on a short term basis so they can sell their products and connect with their customers.
Storefront makes it easy for people with something to sell to find space to sell it.
How do you use ToutApp?
Along the lines of why a lot of people use Tout and the most addictive part is knowing when people are opneing you emails, knowing that someone had read your email and you can acknowledge the fact that they did recieve it. Tout allows us to stay on top of our prospects and give us the ability to know how successful our email campaigns are on an individual as well as a team basis.
What success can I attribute to ToutApp? Honestly, a whole lot of time saved.
Why Matt Loves ToutApp
- Real Time Email Tracking: Knowing when people are opening your emails - that something is happening with the emails you send. It's the no clue zone and I like having a clue about that zone.
- ToutApp Meeting Times: Being able to give a list of times you are available to meet or chat on the phone is a game changer. This function can save you 3-4 emails in any given email chain and if you do that five times a dat you are talking about a significant amount of time saved.
- Tout Templates: Eliminates that repetition and saves you a whole lot of time.
- Tout Group Emails: Being able to send a personalized email to a group of prospects is really amazing. It fills the void between marketing emails like mailchimp and copying and pasting the sames email over and over again.
- ToutApp Happiness: The ToutApp team is always there to answer any and all questions when you need it.
My life without Toutapp would mean less deals done.
Introducing: The Sales Communications Dashboard
First of all, Happy Friday.
For those of you that are already ToutApp users, I hope you had a fantastic week of sales communications with new and exciting leads. Thanks to Tout's Live Feed, you already know who your most engaged leads were, and have probably closed a few more deals than you normally would have since you focused your time on the right people.
For this Friday, as you reflect on how the week went and what you want to do differently next week, we want to give you something that helps synthesize how your sales communications went this week.
Today, we're introducing something brand new that is going to take your sales game to the next level. Today, we're announcing something takes all of that amazing analytics and tracking data around your sales emails and wraps it into one meaningful dashboard. Today, we're announcing our real-time sales communications dashboard.
Although its unorthodox to release stuff on a Friday, we thought it would be great because as you wind down on your long week, you can go ahead and log into ToutApp Dashboard, click on the "This Week" button, and see how your whole week looked in terms of your sales communications.
Tout's pulse dashboard will make meaning out of all those individual email views and clicks and tell you:
- Which times of the weeks were busiest for you
- Which times of the week your customers were most engaged
- How many emails you dealt with this week
- Which templates you used the most
- What kind of email content drove the most engagement
- Who your most engaged leads/prospects/customers are
And ofcourse, the dashboard was designed for Managers and Teams in mind first, so it'll also help you tap into the sales communications across your organization and see how everyones doing as a whole.
We've put in a significant amount of investment into the underlying data infrastrucutre for processing our email and engagement data. We think this dashboard is just the beginning.
If you and your sales team aren't on ToutApp yet, what are you waiting for? Get Touting.
ToutApp for Outlook introduces Advanced Email and Presentation Tracking
Today, we're announcing Version 2.0 of ToutApp for Outlook. With it, you get a rock solid battled-tested plugin that adds Tout email tracking, templates and our newly introduced presentation tracking to Outlook versions spanning from 2007 to 2013.
Watch the Video Overview
How is it battle tested?
Since releasing our Outlook plugin last year, we've been hard at work working with customers across major enterprises spanning Outlook versions 2007 to 2013 and Windows versions XP, 7 and even Windows 8.
Tout already offers you the most advanced email and templating in the sales communications space, and today we're happy to announce support for presentation tracking right from inside of Outlook.
Why Tout for Outlook?
For those of you unfamiliar with Tout or email tracking in general, Tout's sales communications platform plugs into Outlook, Gmail, and your CRM to help solve these key problems in your day-to-day sales process:
- Not knowing what happens to your important sales emails after hitting "Send."
- Constantly jumping back and forth from your Outlook into your CRM having to manually upadate your sales communications.
- Having to constantly re-attach files, or re-write the same emails over, and over, and over.
Key Features
Email and presentation tracking with real-time feed: You know when your email is opened, links are clicked, presentations are viewed down to the page and even when someone replies. See who is engaging with your emails as it happens right from Outlook so you can manage your time and follow up effectively.
Customizable templates. Write emails faster with saved templates. You can also draft an email up on the fly and save it as a template. Bonus - add a trackable attachment just as you're about to send the email.
- Auto-update your CRM. Forgot to update your CRM? No need to include a BCC or hop into your contact record. Tout auto updates your CRM once you send your email.
To get started with ToutApp for Outlook, you can download the latest version here.

Email Tracking 101: Everything you ever wanted to know
Tout helps you track the day-to-day emails you send from Gmail and Outlook in real time. We see this as a way for senders to learn more about who's interested in your emails and use that information to improve your communications.
The principles around email tracking are relatively simple -- however after perfecting our technology over nearly a two-year period, we've found that the devils in the details and edge cases.
We get a lot of questions around the ins and outs of email tracking, so here's a primer on the four different types of tracking we offer and how to use them.
View Tracking
What it means: We'll tell you when a recipient opens an email you sent them.
How to use it: Send an email from our website, or hit the "Tout It" button in Gmail or Outlook.
How it works: We track email opens by placing an invisible image inside the emails you send. Any recipients who have enabled in their email client will show up as having viewed your email.
Now, here's the catch. If your recipient does not have images enabled, we won't register a view. While Tout tracking tries to capitalize on all images in your email along with some other tricks to track views, view tracking is never 100%... so be sure to concentrate on our 3 other types of tracking!
We also work very hard to filter out your own views from this activity - even if you're using another email address of yours to test our tracking. If you're using a team account with us, too, we'll make a note when a member of your team views an email.
For the tech curious, Tout uses a combination of browser cookies and IP addresses to track engagement around your emails.
Best practices: Put an important image (a screenshot, logo, chart, or graph) that encourages your users to enable images. You'll get much better tracking that way!

- The person I sent a Touted email to already responded to me. Why isn't Tout saying they opened my email?
- Why does it look like someone is viewing my email over and over again?
- Tout got the location wrong for my recipients. What happened?
- How do I see which people opened or clicked on a link from a template?
- Why am I seeing that I viewed my own email?
Click Tracking
What it means: We'll tell you when someone clicks on a link in your email.
How to use it: Send an email from our website, or hit the "Tout It" button in Gmail or Outlook.
How it works: We'll convert all your links to tracking links so you'll know when your recipients click on them and what they click on.
Best practices: Put a call to action at the end of your email in link form - have your recipient go to a page on your website, fill out a form, or access a public calendar of yours to schedule a phone call. Then you'll be able to see who is interested and be able to follow up with them accordingly.

- How do I turn off those go.toutapp.com links?
- How do I see which people opened or clicked on a link from a template?
Site Tracking
What it means: We'll tell you when someone you emailed visits your website.
How it works:
- You send an email to a recipient. They view it or click on a link.
- They visit your website, now or in the future.
- We'll track where on your site they're paging around and display it in the Live Feed. Site tracking is fairly similar to click tracking, except it doesn't require a recipient to click on a link in your email. If a lead types your website into their browser two weeks after you've sent them an email and they never responded, you'll know when that happens.
Best practices:
If you have a special campaign running on your site, make sure to paste your tracking code there. We also recommend tracking behavior on your pricing pages, about us, product tour, or any sort of sign up form. You can even set up Site Tracking Actions to know when they make a purchase or sign up for your service.
Related FAQs:
Attachment and Presentation Tracking
What it means: You'll be able to learn when your recipients are viewing, paging through, or downloading a presentation or file you've shared with them.
How to use it: Click the "Link" or "Link to File" button in Gmail or toutapp.com (coming soon to Outlook). Send your emails out through Tout and pull up the Live Feed.
How it works: We'll upload your attachment to Tout servers and add tracking information to it. Attachment and presentation tracking works with PDFs, Word docs, and Powerpoint presentations. As recipients click through to your attachment, we'll tell you in your Live Feed how they are engaging with your content right down to the slide they keep staring at.
Best practices: Use it! If you've uploaded a Powerpoint, you'll see what pages your recipients keep coming back to, or which pages cause them to lose interest. You can use this to tailor your follow-up and also make changes to the documents themselves.
User of the Week: Owen uses ToutApp for Customer Development
Our featured User of the Week entry comes from Owen McGab Enaohwo, Co-founder of SweetProcess. Every week or so, we'll profile a different person who uses our app to improve their email productivity. If you would like to be featured in the future, you can apply here.
My co-founders and I are working on a webapp called SweetProcess that will make it easy for entrepreneurs to scale their businesses by helping them quickly and easily create Standard Operating Procedures for their businesses. Our process will allow everyone on their team to know exactly what to do in any given situation and they can make use of the SOPs to deliver a consistent level of results to their customers.
Right now we are in the process of creating a Minimum Viable Product for SweetProcess. Before jumping straight into coding, we decided to call potential customers and interview them to find the burning problems that they have with documenting how processes work in their businesses and the exact solutions they want from a software.
My email process involves sending an email to a list of prospects in my field and having them click a link to answer a simple three-question survey. ToutApp's analytics let me know who is interested in and who has completed the survey. From there, I have the opportunity to follow up and prioritize my recipients based on who appears to be showing interest. For example, those who complete the survey then get a phone call where we can drill into the problem and the solutions that they want from the SweetProcess software.
ToutApp's templates, tracking, and follow-up mechanisms help me get my emails done faster and more intelligently. At the end of the day, these features help me stay in touch with everyone, from my initial outreach to my next follow-up to the final phone call.

Dr. White acts as though he has hit a home run when presenting this argument to Roman Catholics. The bold words below are direct quotes from Dr. White, as well as paraphrased words, from a Dividing Line Call 3 weeks ago and your Purgatory debate in 2010.
He will say, Who is the blessed man of Romans 4:8? You see, the problem is that you have no blessed man in your theology. If you commit a mortal or venial sin tonight, will it be imputed to you? According to your theology, the Lord will take those sins of yours into account. However, according to the text, the Lord does not take into account the sins of the blessed man. The scripture here is clear. Your theological distinctions, definitions, and ways of getting around the text are nothing more than a defense rooted in sola ecclesia.
I know you have extensive discussions in your books and articles on the fact that David is the blessed man of Romans 4:8. While that is a good fact to bring up regarding justification not being a one time event, I am not sure it is a sufficient response to the charge described above. Any help would be greatly appreciated in responding to Dr. White's argumentation. He is quite the intimidating apologist.
God Bless,
John D.
Poor Dr. White. For all his study of the Bible you would think he would know some basic rules of interpretation. The first rule of interpretation is context, as opposed to Dr. White's attempt to isolate Romans 4:8. The context, which includes Psalm 32 and 51 from which Paul is forming this pericope, shows that David became "blessed" AFTER he repented of his sins of murder and adultery. In other words, the Lord is not taking into account David's sins of murder and adultery because David repented of those sins and the Lord forgave him. Moreover, David did no work for the forgiveness. God forgave him because God is beneficent, not because God owed David anything, and thus Paul's dictum "but to the one who does not work but believes him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness." In other words, when he committed murder and adultery David became an "ungodly" man, but his faith in God's forgiveness moved him to admit and repent of his sin, and God cleansed David and made him righteous. This is why David is a perfect example of Catholic theology.
But along these lines, Dr. White has an insurmountable problem. Notice that Paul, in line with Psalm 32 and 51, speaks of David becoming justified AFTER David repented of his sins of murder and adultery. Since that is the case, the question immediately arises as to whether David was a justified man before he committed murder and adultery. Dr. White will have great difficulty with this because he believes a person is only justified once in his life. If Dr. White says that David was a justified man before the sins of Psalm 32/Romans 4:8, then why is Paul saying David was justified after he repented of those sins? If Dr. White says that David was not a justified man before the sins of Psalm 32/Romans 4:8, then he is making David a pagan who did not know God for much of his adult life, which would be impossible to reconcile with how Scripture describes David as a man of God BEFORE he committed murder and adultery. Either way Dr. White goes on this he traps himself.
But Catholic theology has no problem with this passage, since it teaches that at each instance someone commits a serious sin (such as murder or adultery) he loses his justification; and at each point that he repents of those serious sins, he has justification restored to himself. Hence, we have no problem with David being a justified man BEFORE he committed murder and adultery; and we have no problem in seeing Paul say that David was justified AFTER he committed murder and adultery, simply because justification is not a one-time forensic event. Dr. White will need to do some serious reevaluation of his Calvinistic theology because of this. It is HIS David that doesn't fit into Romans 4:8, not the David of Roman Catholicism. It's not an issue of either Sola Scriptura or Sola Ecclesia. It's an issue of Dr. White not seeing the illogic of his interpretation.

Quoting steve dalton:Keith, I've seen pictures of James White's "school". It's a hole-in-the-wall diploma mill in a rented room.
Actually it's not, and that's beside the point. There are people who get legitimate degrees online where they only meet in a rented room. The question is whether he studied at a school that is legitimate. I would say it is, probably not the best, but that is where he chose to study. When we attack people like this then we are no better then what we accuse them of. I don't like White myself, but the truth is that he didn't attend a diploma mill. I think the worst that you can say is that he attended a school that was more independent and subjective in their criteria with regards to a degree. Either way the degree that he has is valid.
Keith, I've seen pictures of James White's "school". It's a hole-in-the-wall diploma mill in a rented room.
Nick you missed something though. The passage in question (Romans 4) specifically talks about a God who justifies the ungodly, not those who made themselves just godly enough to obtain his favor.
The whole argument of Romans 4 is that justification is an act of the gracious merciful God in justifying those who did nothing to deserve it.
We therefore can be the "blessed man" of Romans 4, by trusting in Christ.

Y from MO
Headboard This headboard is actually working out really great! It was exactly what I was expecting for. I'm very happy with it. |
K from TX
Made for a platform bed My son really likes this bookcase headboard and we'll keep it, but it's too short if you use a regular frame with a mattress and boxspring. The shelf is below the level of the top of the mattress. |
M from California
Headboard We are really happy with this headboard. It matches the full size bed just perfectly. My son loves it! This is just what we were expecting when we ordered it. |
Carrie from Massachusetts
Good for the price For the most part we are happy with the headboard. It took a long time to put it together. The instructions were good, everything fit together well. It was just time consuming. We read other reviews stating how it took time to assemble. For the price it is a good quality headboard. It is a little flimsy. |
Hope from Glen Ellyn, IL
So far so good. The South Shore Spark Bookcase Headboard is good so far. I feel like there is more particle board showing than what is shown in the picture online. The quality is good for the price point and it works well for my four year old son. |

what others say
SE Asia stands to gain from Abe's policies
Last December, when Japanese voters threw out the left-leaning Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), commentators warned of rising tensions with China as the incoming conservative government headed by a hawkish prime minister took a tougher line on territorial rows.
But amid all the hand-wringing, two more subtle points about the election campaign and its aftermath were largely overlooked.The first refers to the extent to which the policies advocated by both the right and left of the Japanese political spectrum share increasingly little common ground with their Western counterparts. The second has to do with the way the poll result could encourage business leaders to follow the government by turning their attention towards Southeast Asia.
Japan's confusing political fault lines have been around for some time, but the election underlined the point in a way that made them difficult to ignore.
The trend really began in September 2011, when Yoshihiko Noda replaced Naoto Kan as prime minister of the ruling DPJ government. A fiscal conservative, Noda spent far more time trying to shore up the government budget and rein in public debt than developing the sort of big-spending social assistance programmes that left-wing governments are often associated with. Indeed, he staked his political career on raising the politically unpopular consumption tax rate.
Noda's administration was also known for its disregard for global warming - another issue generally closely associated with left-wing politics in the West.
If Noda's policies were hard for left-wingers outside Japan to swallow, a key reason for the Liberal Democratic Party's (LDP's) overwhelming victory in December must have been equally incomprehensible to Western conservatives. LDP leader Shinzo Abe's support for nationalistic foreign policy stances, as well as his controversial demands for reforms in both the constitution and the education system, received little attention during the campaign.
The main issue was the LDP's plans to revive the economy and end deflation. But unlike his Western counterparts, Abe did not advocate austerity measures to help bring down the national debt. The focus instead was on the need for an extra spending stimulus and a "bold monetary policy" to revive the economy. In other words, Japanese conservatives were advocating big government of the sort that would leave their counterparts in Europe and the United States aghast.
Japan's debt is about equal to 230 per cent of its GDP, higher than that of Greece (175 per cent of GDP) and nearly twice that of Italy (125 per cent).
With the debt overwhelmingly in Japanese hands, and Japan's overseas assets about equal to its debts, the country's situation is different from that of Europe.
Even so, Tokyo's maverick stance may not go down well in other global capitals at a time when international cooperation is essential for economic recovery.
This brings us to the second point about the poll. Regardless of the wisdom of Abe's economic policies, they are likely to have global repercussions; Southeast Asia could be among the chief beneficiaries. This will likely become evident in the second and third quarters when the Japanese economy begins to feel the full impact of the planned stimulus.
Long-term structural trends are pushing Japanese firms to invest overseas. With more liquidity being poured into corporate coffers, this trend should accelerate.
With Abe in power, additional Japanese investment in China involves political risks few corporations are likely to consider. But Southeast Asia presents no such problems. Indeed, Tokyo can be expected to support such a development as a way of currying favour with nations it sees as potential allies against the perceived threat from China.
Significantly, the first overseas trip by new foreign minister Fumio Kishida was to the Philippines, Singapore, Brunei and Australia. And earlier this month, Abe visited Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia, with the aim of deepening economic ties.
Abe was seen pushing high-speed rail systems in Bangkok and nuclear power plants in Hanoi. In Jakarta, he met President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and discussed bilateral relations in trade, investment, infrastructure development, tourism and employment. Not surprisingly, China's maritime claims were on the agenda in all three countries.
December's election did more than change the diplomatic situation in Northeast Asia.

Lead pastor John Parker told the congregation of Summit Church Wednesday night that he had no idea his friend and senior pastor, Isaac Hunter, had been engaged in a yearlong affair with a church staff member until Hunter voluntarily resigned Nov. 26.
Parker also said he did not know Isaac had a serious drinking problem or that he was abusive to his wife, as Rhonda Hunter alleged in a domestic-violence petition Nov. 30. Isaac has denied those allegations.
Parker said his blindness to his best friend's self-destruction was a failure of leadership. "I don't expect you to trust me," Parker said, but he asked the congregation to forgive him.
At the same time, Parker expressed a sense of betrayal.
"There was another life going on, and I was being fooled," Parker told members who filled the sanctuary of the Orlando church on Herndon Avenue.
Isaac Hunter, the 35-year-old middle son of megachurch pastor the Rev. Joel Hunter, started Summit Church with 300 people in 2002. The church now has five locations and 5,000 members.
In her petition for a domestic-violence restraining order against her husband, Rhonda wrote about calling Parker, then associate pastor of the church, from the Hunters' Winter Park home on Aug. 24 after a drunken Isaac began insulting and threatening her.
"He was getting so verbally abusive that I left the home for my safety. Our 3 children were asleep at the time, so I immediately called John Parker and requested him to come to the home," she wrote. "John agreed to come keep the children safe since I expected Isaac would pass out from too much alcohol."
Parker told the congregation that Isaac assured him that night his drinking was a momentary weakness and not a chronic problem. Subsequently, Isaac reassured Parker and other church officials that he did not have a drinking problem and agreed to seek counseling, according to a statement distributed to the congregation.
"Prior to Isaac's resignation, there were no further concerns expressed to the leadership from Rhonda about Isaac's drinking," the statement said.
The statement said Isaac told church officials in January 2011 he was experiencing marital problems. But it wasn't until Isaac offered his resignation Nov. 26 that he told Parker he had been engaged in an affair with a former staff member and had no intention of ending the relationship.
"We believed he was in a season of weakness and pain," the statement said. "But we did not know he was actively engaged in pursuing regular patterns of sinful character."
The statement also said Isaac denied to another church official that he was using steroids. In her petition, Rhonda said steroids were found by family members in his closet, along with pills, needles, vials of liquid and flasks of alcohol.
