Europe's Bank Storms Headed to U.S.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. big bank investors may want to use unusually negative comments by European bank conglomerate CEO's in recent earnings as a reason to reassess the risks to financial institutions on this side of the Atlantic - even as first quarter earnings at JPMorgan(JPM) , Bank of America(BAC) , Citigroup(C) , Goldman Sachs(GS) and especially Morgan Stanley(MS) reflected a revival in some key businesses.
On Thursday, Deutsche Bank(DB) , Europe's largest bank by assets, and Barclays(BCS) , Britain's second biggest lender reported improving profits that were below year-ago-levels, mirroring the first quarter results of most U.S. investment banks. But the commentary of both banks' CEOs on those earnings warrants a focus by investors in U.S. banks - especially those who aren't ready to call a 2012 sector rally a recovery.
As April ends, Morgan Stanley could be a watershed on a 2012 bank sector rally |
"Financial markets remain cautious -- as we have seen in April, with investor risk appetite markedly lower," said Deutsche Bank chief executive Josef Ackermann in a letter to shareholders. "Investors, particularly private investors, remained wary after the market turmoil of last year."
Barclays chief executive Robert Diamond mirrored concerns of an April slowdown, in commentary that seemed to refute some of the optimism that spread over the financial sector to start the year. "It was not a robust first quarter," said Diamond in a media call with reporters, according to Bloomberg. "It was only robust compared with the third or fourth. I think most people would say April was a bit sluggish compared to the first three months."

By Ron VandenBoom
It somehow seems natural for the mysteries of the Universe to be discussed on the World Wide Web. Its the greatest gathering of information to ever be made available to mankind.
Everything from facts and figures to fantasy and fiction are only a mouse click away over the Internet.
Today I want to dive into the fantasy realm with an examination of the Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie as she is more affectionately known.
Three sites, all claiming to be official, top the Nessie list for the quantity and quality of information provided.
Now, who selected any one of these sites as the official site, Im not sure.
Theoretically, for a site to be official, it would have to be selected as official by the principle subject involved a Brad Pitt site would have to be endorsed by Pitt himself, for example. The same is true of parks, commercial products, or anything else that might have ownership or copyrights protecting it.
Nessie, as I understand it, has refused to endorse any of these sites as official. While all claim to have sought her official approval none have yet been able to even prove she exists.
The first site, www.nessie.co.uk, is perhaps the most complete site of the three with a broad data base of information on who has sighted the monster and when she was seen. There is also a page dedicated to film evidence, sonar contacts, and stories surrounding the elusive creature.
The Geology of the Lock page will also give the surfer input on what is unique about Loch Ness and why some people feel it is possible for a beast of this size to exist undetected in the nether regions of the loch.
There is also the usual FAQ page and the Official Nessie Fan Club page. All, Im sure, endorsed by Nessie herself.
If you want to visit the first and official Loch Ness Monster site stretch your long neck and floppy fins over to www.lochness.co.uk/index.html.
This official site has most of the information the other official site has but has added a few movies of eye witnesses who will tell you their story.
All you need is the VIVO player and lots of time to waste.
The third site, Lock Ness Live, features a web cam that will allow you to look for Nessie yourself. Or at least spend a lot of time glaring into your monitor hoping to see something besides still water and on what is supposed to be Loch Ness.
This site also claims it is the first to have a spectator just like you capture a picture of the long lost monster over their Internet Web Cam. It happened June 5, 1999, and the pictures are posted on the site if you doubt.
If you dont doubt and would like to be a spotter yourself, feel free to surf over to wysiwyg://26/http://www.lochness.scotland.net and spend the rest of your life glued to the computer hoping to catch a glimpse of this elusive legend.

Oak Park grocer succeeds with service
Pan's Grocery store, Oak Park. | Meredith Morris~for Sun-Times Media
Updated: February 18, 2013 6:03AM
OAK PARK — Pan's Food Center is an anomaly in Oak Park, succeeding after the loss of other local independent groceries.
"This is sort of the Last of the Mohicans," said Pan's Food Center cashier Emily Abram, decrying what she calls "the dying breed of mom and pop stores."
Pan's, at 824 S. Oak Park Ave., serves about 1,000 customers a day and is considering expanding its organic and bakery product lines, according to Steve Vlahos, store owner and manager with his brother, Jim.
"We always have to keep moving," Steve Vlahos said.
Not too long ago, Oak Park was dotted with other independent grocers. There was Certified Land at 940 W. Lake St., which closed in 2008 after 26 years in business. And Villager Foods at 1135 Chicago Ave., which closed in 2010 after more than 40 years,
For Pan's, one benefit is its location near the CTA Blue Line and the large Ascension Church, Vlahos said.
"A lot of people come here when they get of the L, after work, and pick up something for dinner," Steve Vlahos said. The store also benefits from an adjacent parking lot, opened three years ago after Pan's bought and razed a vacant building.
"It helps, especially at night. It was hit-or-miss if people could find parking or had money for the meters," he said.
Another business advantage is that Pan's delivers: it's a $4 flat-rate fee for shoppers, or $8 who call in their orders and have Pan's do the shopping.
"The delivery cost is very reasonable. I know of some stores that charge $16 or more," Steve Vlahos said.
Nonetheless, Pan's feels the pressure of the big-box stores.
"Before, Target and Wal-Mart didn't sell groceries and Sam's Club and Costco didn't exist," he said. "Jewel and Dominick's were always around but they had their customers and we had ours."
In contrast to big boxes and even many groceries, Vlahos said Pan's greatest advantages is its personal service.
For instance, Pan's employees who deliver food may also stop to shovel the walk for an older client, cashier Abram said, or unpack the groceries and be sure an impaired customer can open the food items.
Vlahos said one cashier was on the way to work and stopped at the home of an injured loyal customer to get her grocery order.
Abram, an Oak Park resident, has cashiered for two and half years. She's one of about 20 Pan's employees, most of them part-time.
"It may seem like just a job but at the end of the day you realize you're really doing a service," Abram said. "For some people who come in, you're their only point of contact. You get to know people inside and out. I didn't expect that. It's eye-opening."
Abram has become an advocate of independent grocers.
"They care more. They'll go out of their ways to be human beings. You don't find that at a big box," she said.
Indeed, Vlahos, who caters to older shoppers with a 5-percent discount every Wednesday -- his busiest day of the week, "Seniors Day" -- finds it hard to imagine some of his customers contending with superstores.
"For a senior to go in there; it's big for me to walk around. I don't know how they do it," he said.
The Vlahos brothers took Pan's over from their father, John, who acquired it from its original owner, John Panicola, in 1986.
Steve, 48, who's worked Pan's aisles since he was 11, said the biggest shifts he's seen include the dawn of organic and whole grain products, and more shoppers opting for fish over red meat. Also, he added, Sunday now runs a close second to Saturday as the busiest shopping day.
Sundays used to be relatively quiet, he said, but "more people have to work now on Saturdays."

There are a lot of great reasons to restrict some songs from the road trip soundtrack.
Now that Season 12 is over, let's judge Idol's judges, Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey, for all they're worth -- and, hell, Seacrest too. Frankly, they all deserve it.
It's been a long road but the "American Idol" finale is finally here. With country singer Kree Harrison and the soulful Candice Glover as the only two...
Candice ended the night belting out "Somewhere" from West Side Story, and her powerful vocals had Keith asking, "How do you that?" and Randy declaring it to be one of the best vocals in "Idol" history.
Nobody was eliminated last week, which meant all four girls got the chance to perform one more time. With another week gone by and all four contestants still in the running, the pressure was even higher to stand out.
Angie won over the judges with Julie London's "Cry Me a River." Keith called it celestially powerful and Nicki and Randy both declared Angie to be the winner of the night.
Angie decided to lighten things up with Smokey Robinson's "Shop Around." Keith felt that she was musically constrained by the song and Nicki aggressively told her, "I think you came out to try to show a different side of Angie that you didn't have to show us."
Candice's rendition of "I Who Have Nothing" was exactly what the judges and audience needed. After the standing ovations (except from Mariah, whose skirt was apparently too tight to stand), Nicki declared that no one should be allowed to ever sing the song again.
Call me a radical, but maybe a gay male judge is just what the show needs. In this edition of Weeklings!, I revisit all 12 seasons of Idol and discover what the show would've been like if an opinionated gay man criticized the competing singers.
No matter what job we get or relationship we embark upon, the practice of doing the same thing every day is a form of monotony we're not easily accustomed to, and the thought of it continuing on forever creates terror in our liberated souls.
With 10 male contestants waiting to perform and only five open spots, the tension was running high on "American Idol." Continue on to find out who the "American Idol" Season 12 Top 20 are!
The entire night built up to Zoanette Johnson's performance, and her powerful rendition of "Circle of Life" (complete with a lion's mane) did not disappoint. All of the judges gave her a standing ovation (minus Mariah, but she's above that).
In the first round of Vegas Week, 10 of the 20 girls performed for the judges and audience, laying it all out on the floor. At the end of the night, five of the girls had to be cut -- so whose "Idol" journey ended last night and who made it through?
It's the final night of Hollywood Week at "American Idol," which means tonight is the night the Top 40 are selected! The competition has gotten more a...
It's "Solo Day" at "American Idol," which means those lucky contestants who made it through the group auditions still have one more hurdle to go. With the judges harsher than ever (here's lookin' at you, Nicki), tensions are running high and no one is safe.
The evening ended with a surprise appearance from former judge Steven Tyler dressed in full drag. Tyler claimed to just be stopping in to say hi, but let's be real, he obviously came by to keep the divas of the season in check.

Child Care Providers: Licensing Standards
Topic Overview
In the United States, licensing standards for child care centers vary by each individual state. General provisions for licensing address these issues:
- Health and safety requirements
- Ways of dealing with a child's negative behavior
- The number of staff that are needed to safely care for the children
- Training requirements for staff
- Type of equipment needed
- Requirements for daily program
- Types of food services needed for children of different ages
Standards vary widely by each state. And how each state monitors and enforces guidelines also varies greatly.
As part of your research, find out which of your potential child care providers are accredited or are in the process of obtaining accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), and/or the National After School Association.Reference 1 Accreditation from these organizations helps ensure that a family or group child care center meets basic quality standards, even if your state has lax licensing requirements or enforcement.
For detailed information on state child care licensing, see the Other Places to Get Help section of the topic Choosing Child Care.

What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
I greatly enjoyed the trip and loved the short period in which we climbed such a high altitude. It's a perfect long weekend. I have to point out the itinarary was misleading as it promised to ascend the peak where as the weather during most time of the year is not supporting this hence we weren't allowed the last 100m. No other groups made it that day so we got further than them but I believe it should have mentioned that we may not climb the peak due to weather conditions. I'd still do the trip again. Great landscape, accommodation and beautiful ascend.
How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Good, however Hassan could have interacted more with us
Our response
Thanks for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your trip.
Read moreWe haven't had any other reports of groups being unable to ascend to the summit, and we are looking into this with our Operations Manager.
What was the highlight or most memorable moment of your tour?
"Memorable moments of the tour were the 03:30 start to the ascent of Toubkal. Head torches lit we must have appeared to anyone on the other side of the valley to be a few tiny points of light slowly rising up the pitch black of the opposite wall of rock (stopped regularly for rests). The summit, too, was obviously awesome, especially after five and a bit hours of climbing.
The souks of Marrakech were a great delight, and being able to drink as much wonderful mint tea in exchange for ""just a quick look"" around owners' Aladdin's cave as I did was a real skill."
How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Mohammed (the first, we had two) was patience personified. At least until near the end when even the Britishness of our group began to wear on him slightly.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Ensure you wear your hiking boots and clothes you'd be happy to trek in on the plane, just in case your baggage doesn't arrive (as it didn't for one person). Definitely pack a head torch. Drink plenty of water. Bring toilet roll. Be prepared to eat a lot of vegetables, especially ones you may not have had before. Understand that you'll be at altitude and no matter how fit you think you are your legs are going to ache for a day or so after the long descent. Take the opportunity to explore the souks, without a tour guide.

Borderline (4 Photos)
All photos © David Rochkind. Above: "Border," February 2007, Mexico.
David Rochkind's series, "Heavy Hand, Sunken Spirit" is about the social costs and consequences of Mexico's violent drug war. In the four years since President Felipe Calderon's inauguration, over 35,000 people have been killed and kidnappings have skyrocketed. The cartels are ruthless, leaving the gruesome nature of their crimes visible to everyone.
Rochkind explains how Mexico is a country in crisis: "The government is battling the drug cartels, the drug cartels are battling each other and there is a palpable fear across the nation. Corruption exists throughout the state and complaints of human rights abuses by the army are widespread. The line between criminals and the authorities is so blurred that the average citizen fears everyone. These photographs attempt to move beyond simple depictions of carnage to explore the stress and tension that is left in the wake of such violence and illustrate how this conflict will impact and handicap Mexico's future." Rochkind's exhibition, "Heavy Hand, Sunken Spirit," opens at Blue Sky gallery in Portland, Oregon, on February 2, 2012.
Above: This stretch of the border divides Nogales, Arizona, at left and Nogales, Sonora, at right. There has been little violent spillover into the U.S., though recently U.S. citizens have been killed with more frequency in Mexico. In March of 2010, two U.S. Consulate workers were gunned down in Ciudad Juarez. –Courtesy of Blue Sky Gallery

A well-known staff for Team Puerto Rico
The coaching staff for Team Puerto Rico in the 2013 World Baseball Classic will include a number of familiar names.
The manager, according to major-league sources, will be Edwin Rodriguez, who managed the Marlins for parts of 2010 and '11 and currently manages the Indians' Double A affiliate.
Rodriguez's staff, sources say, will include three former major leaguers - Carlos Delgado as hitting coach, Carlos Baerga as first base coach and Alex Cora as bench coach.
Delgado, who turns 40 on June 25, hit 473 homers, had a .929 OPS and made two All-Star teams during his 17-year career.
Baerga, 43, was a three-time All-Star with the Indians and played for six teams over 14 years, finishing with a .291 career batting average.
Cora, 36, also played for six teams over 14 years, including the World Series champion 2007 Red Sox. He is widely regarded as a future managerial candidate.

The frenetic pace of maneuvering to sign or release players this week caught up to the Denver Broncos.
Broncos president John Elway called on defensive end Elvis Dumervil to accept a salary reduction or face the possibility of being released. Dumervil agreed to the reduction, but was shockingly released when paperwork for the adjusted contract wasn't filed by 3:59 p.m. ET Friday.
The Denver Post reported Dumervil informed the Broncos he would lower his 2013 salary to $8 million. Under the terms of his previous six-year, $61.5 million deal signed in 2010, Dumervil was set to receive a base of $12 million for this season.
But the Broncos did not receive the signed documentation until several minutes after 4 p.m. ET, when his contract would have become fully guaranteed, the Post reported.
If the Broncos attempt to re-sign him, they'll have to take the cap penalty for releasing him into account as well as any new figure that would arise from a new deal.
---Tight end Tony Gonzalez made his return for the 2013 season official by signing a two-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
The two-year deal is worth $14 million, according to NFL.com. He is guaranteed to receive $7 million in 2013, but there is no indication he will return for the 2014 season. The second year of the deal was included for bookkeeping purposes, according to the report.
---Quarterback Kevin Kolb was released by the Arizona Cardinals in a expected move that saved the team $7.5 million in salary cap space.
The Cardinals signed defensive end Matt Shaughnessy, who played his first four seasons with the Oakland Raiders to a one-year deal, Pro Football Talk reported.
They also signed cornerback Antoine Cason to a one-year contract, the Arizona Republic reported. He started all 16 games for the San Diego Chargers last season.

Is there any difference between this & indecent exposure?
4:22pm Thu 28 Feb 13
The police had to let him go because they could not pin a thing on him.
But is it worth risking prison over such a small thing?
In answer to Alfie The Dog - I think the photographer used just the right exposure. It could not be called indecent.

The bill would also open a path to a longer term increase: It would require the House and Senate to each agree by April 15 to a budget resolution for fiscal year 2014. And such a measure, which is intended to set spending and revenue levels for the next five to ten years, can include debt ceiling increases, Davis said.
If the House and Senate don't meet the April 15 deadline, lawmakers' pay would be withheld until they pass a budget resolution or until the current Congress ends in January 2015.
So it's not that lawmakers won't get paid if they miss the deadline. Their salaries would be held in escrow and paid out at some point later.
House Republicans, in coming up with the temporary debt ceiling solution, are in essence conceding the debt ceiling fight is not their best shot at securing spending cuts and substantive deficit reduction.
And that change could spur progress toward meaningful budget talks.
"The House Republicans' plan shows a constructive shift of focus away from threats of default and towards the need for a budget. That should improve the chances for negotiations over a serious fiscal plan," Concord Coalition Executive Director Robert Bixby said in a statement.
Two make-or-break opportunities loom for those negotiations. Unless Congress act by March 2, the pending sequester would trigger close to $1 trillion in defense and non-defense spending cuts that no one in Congress likes.
And if they fail to act by March 27, federal funding will expire entirely and the government would be shut down until lawmakers can find some way to agree on spending and taxes for the next year or at least another few months.

How can form input value be cleared before validation?
I want to have input fields with a value inside of the field. But, the initial value needs to be cleared prior to validation or the initial field value is submitted.
In example - the first field (Name) validates even if submit is clicked without changing value.
I'm using jQuery Validate plugin to perform validation.
Thank you, Charlie
a better solution is to use the
attribute:<input placeholder="my initial value">
but it you're looking for compatibility with older browsers, you can simply check the value and make sure it's different. If you're using Validation, you can make a custom rule as part of your validation.
I ran into that same problem. This was the only one I was able to find that solved it. http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/jquery-infieldlabel.php
Thank you. I think both ideas can work.
Custom Validation Rule: Can a rule be created that would do something like this... IF the field value is "Name*" THEN do NOT validate IF the field value is "just about anything else more than two characters" THEN validate. (Can anyone offer a the jQuery for this?)
In Field Label: Great idea! Just use the LABEL tag and position it with CSS directly over the field so it looks like a field value. Why didn't I think of that!
Thank you! Charlie
Ya you can. Off memory I think it's called a regex. If this plugin http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/jquery-validation.php doesn't have that already built in then you'll have to write one. At the bottom it explains how. I would maybe post it over at webmasterworld as they are pretty good with regex stuff.
...IF the field value is "Name*" THEN do NOT validate IF the field value is "just about anything else more than two characters" THEN validate. (Can anyone offer a the jQuery for this?)
I don't know specifically, but
allows you to define custom validation functions. Just start with a check against the value. I'm busy at the moment but I'll take a look when I get a chance.

Keep You Kid's Teeth Healthy When They Go Back To School
By: Julia Hurt and Alex Hayes
Updated: August 21, 2012
Tiffany with Abilene Dental explains how your kid's snacks can effect their teeth "One of the coolest things now is that everything comes in packages. Just like the candy bars and the rice crispy treat used to come, you've got carrot sticks and ranch dip that you can get prepackaged and throw into your kids lunch.", explains Tiffany.
She adds, "I know kids don't necessarily want to drink a lot of water but now you can add flavor packages to them."

16-Feb-2013 | Excellent | The company kept me informed on all aspects of my order | |
10-Feb-2013 | Poor | The shoes arrived with a large hole in the box. On opening the box, the shoes had not been damaged, but the packaging was. These shoes looked like returns as they were not immaculate as you might expect for shoes costing over £100. The suede, plus the soles had evidence of wear and I noticed that once purchased there were no more of these shoes for sale, suggesting these were the last and therefore returns perhaps. Also having bought Loakes and Barkers before, I felt that these shoes were not as good in terms of build quality. | Making sure that your order reaches you in perfect condition is always one of our top priorities. It is certainly very strange to hear that we have fallen short of your expectations on this occasion and I am truly sorry for any disappointment caused.
We will definitely be in touch to discuss this your experience in more detail. |
22-Jan-2013 | Excellent | Rather pricey but attractive and well made. | |
15-Jan-2013 | Poor | For myself, the fit was too wide, I have narrow feet and these were larger than normal fit shoes in my opinion. I did like the shoes though, shame they didn't fit. | This is a shame to read and I'm disappointed that the fit of these shoes hasn't quite worked out for you! We're glad to receive your feedback though and thank you also for the kind comments regarding the shoes in general. We wouldn't want you to hold onto anything from us that you weren't going to wear so it's great to see that these shoes have been returned to us already and a full refund has been issued accordingly. |
06-Jan-2013 | Excellent | The service was quite good. I made the order online on the 25th,December. By morning of the 27th I was contacted about the order. By the 28th after verifying payment order, the goods were brought in. This for me is very good service considering that that period was holiday season. The letter from the founder goes a long way to assure the customer that he is dealing with an organization that thrive on excellence. I would recommend this company and its products to any discerning lover of good and quality products and services. | |
23-Dec-2012 | Excellent | My partner is over the moon with the style, fit, and quality of the product. It was delivered in great condition, with each shoe in individual material bags within the shoe box with a shoe horn also. They are lovely. Thank you. | |
15-Dec-2012 | Excellent | perfect just what i was looking for | |
27-Nov-2012 | Excellent | Good on-line Service. |

European Committee for Standardization
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Board decided in January 2007 to create a new CEN Technical Committee,
, to work on standards in the field of information and communication technologies relating to learning, education and training. Learning, education and training in Europe relies strongly on the growing use and development of information and communication technologies. Some of the benefits of European standards will be an increase in quality of European e-learning products, services and processes, an increase of interoperability and reduced development costs of e-learning products.
The scope of the CEN/TC 353 is to produce standards in the field of information and communication technologies relating to learning, education and training. Particularly, the Technical Committee is focussing on standards for vocabularies, metadata for learning opportunities, learner information and quality.
The European Standards (EN), Technical Specifications (TS) and Technical Reports (TR) that are developed will have a well-defined European scope. These may include:
Development of CWAs and other specifications into standards, if appropriate
Developmente of national standards into European standards
Benefits expected from the work of the CEN/TC
Sharing of data, content, tools and services for lerning, education and training can only be achieved when clear technical agreements are made between all parties concerned. The more global this agreement is, the greater the benefit. On the other hand different communities have their own identity, language, and vocabularies which are important to express exactly what is meant. For instance the educational system in North America is differently structured than in Europe and it uses different terminology. Even in Europe great differences exist between different sectors. For example, a thesaurus applicable for vocational education is different from the one for schools. These naturally grown differences make the application of standards more complex and often less effective. In addition vocabularies are created again and again sometimes with differences that are not essential but that inhibit interoperability.
The main benefits of the technical committee are expected to include:
There will be greater consensus amongst National Bodies that provides a consolidated European perspective. This can be supported, for example, by forwarding European specifications and standards to ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36 for international standardization or by undertaking parallel development;
Increased interoperability across member states between digital learning content, learner related information, management systems to deliver learning and other information technology tools;
Increased interoperability of European e-learning products with international systems so reducing developments costs and opening potential markets but localised for European stakeholders. This will also have the benefit of increased inclusion;
Increased quality of European e-learning products, services, processes and methods
Common multicultural and muiltilingual exchange formats, for example a European well defined data model capable of expressing competency information and associated metrics in a standardized way;
A common understanding of terms and concepts through the development of vocabularies and frameworks around which software vendors, tool producers and content authors may work in order to provide a greater level of interoperability and application of tools;
Increased understanding and use of international standards œ for example by providing multilingual guidelines or application profiles of common specifications and standards from ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36 or IEEE LTSC;
A wider range of national bodies and experts will participate and the audience for any outputs will increase;
Outputs from CEN/ISSS WS/LT have a place where they can be considered for standardization.

CEN/TC 353 - Working Fields
Terms of use
These contents have been obtained from the CEN/TC 353 Web site and edited for presentation. Please refer to the CEN/TC 353 official Web site for additional information on terms of use.
The strategies of the CEN/TC 353 will work according to the following priorities, that are not exclusive and are in no particular order.
Development of a well defined European data model and guidelines for expressing, referencing and capturing measurable characteristics of simple and complex competencies.
Identification of existing competency maps and taxonomies and development of guidelines on taxonomies and vocabularies. Including harmonization and mapping of vocabularies used to express European curricula and competencies. Every organisation that is engaged in the fields of formal education, technical, vocational or corporate training or workforce development is creating its own competency definitions and structures. Many of them are involved in the design and implementation of digital repositories in order to support the storage, search, retrieval and management of these definitions, thus dealing with issues ranging from learning resource discovery to accreditation or skill gap analysis, depending on the context of the application. However, the use of different information models or assumptions makes the exchange, between such repositories and the referencing of competency and skills definitions by relevant systems, an impossible task.
Develop frameworks, specifications and guidelines to improve the quality and transparency of organisations, processes, products and services.
Develop guidelines for stakeholders to improve the transparency of educational processes (e.g., identifying & Choosing E-Learning offers)
Localizing international standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 19796-1)
Providing guidance to stakeholders involved in quality development
To improve quality competencies for European stakeholders
Vocabularies and Frameworks
Development of European learning, education and training vocabularies and frameworks around which software vendors, tool producers and content authors may work in order to provide a greater level of interoperability and application of tools.
Provide interoperability specifications for the exchange a range of European curriculum information initially aimed at school systems, but also applicable in a wider inclusive lifelong learning context.
Development of a practical approach towards interoperability between existing and future repositories for learning whose purpose is the safe storage or delivery, and also administration and configuration management for learning objects. This will consider the European needs for the interoperability of repositories for learning, systems to support the creation of a viable, sustained infrastructure for exchanging learning objects and the associated metadata. This will be based on the experiences of the successful EC-funded projects ARIADNE, UNIVERSAL, and ELENA plus reference to other European initiatives such as ARIADNE's repository implementations.
Integration with systems e.g. knowledge management systems
The sharing of education related data, services, content and tools achieved through clearer technical agreements between all parties, without losing the value of expression typical of each European community's language and culture.

Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones predicts crime figures will rise from California's decision to consider discharging thousands of cases involving missing parolees.
"They are lessening the likelihood that we can arrest the people we know who are behind the crimes," Jones told KCRA 3 on Thursday.
In an exclusive interview with KCRA 3, Jones shared his reactions to a KCRA 3 investigation revealing that nearly 10,000 parolees in California are missing.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is now reviewing 9,209 arrest warrants of those missing parolees to determine which ones "should be waived, discharged from state parole supervision and recall of the warrant, or if the parolee should remain on parole," according to a memo obtained by KCRA 3.
"Seventy percent of those folks who get out are going to re-offend," said Jones, citing California's 70 percent recidivism rate for inmates released from state prison. "So, you have a whole cadre of folks that have the opportunity to re-offend that might not otherwise have re-offended with much less supervision and much less consequences."
Sacramento County District Attorney Jan Scully is also worried.
"You shouldn't get a get-home-free card simply because you never did what you were supposed to do," Scully said.
The district attorney told KCRA 3 that discharging a missing felon from supervised parole would eliminate an important law enforcement tool.
"When someone is on parole, even if it's on informal parole, there's always the condition of search and seizure," Scully told KCRA 3.
"If they wipe out these parolees at large and discharge them, law enforcement does not have the search and seizure tools to do some enforcement," Scully said.

The importance of baptism
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit . . ." (See Matthew 28:18-20, RSV).
The sacrament (or ordinance) of Holy Baptism is common to all Christian communities. When Jesus issued the "Great Commission" to his church, baptism was pivotal in the assignment to "preach/make disciples," "baptize," and "teach/instruct."
