By: Ms Jen Cork, Category: At The Museum, Date: 19 Oct 2010
This week at the Australian Museum we have decided to go down the QR Code lane and place some extra interaction on a few of the Museum's favourite specimens.
At the Australian Museum we are constantly exploring new ways of allowing visitors to the space easier access to the rich and diverse content produced by the institution. With this in mind, the web team have placed QR codes on a selection of the Museum's favourite specimens displayed in the atrium.
What is a QR Code I hear you ask? Well, a QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a matrix barcode readable by QR scanners and mobile phones with cameras. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data. In the Museum's case, the information is a URL relevant to the specimen on display.
Over the coming months we want to explore a broad range of new ways to enrich the interaction with our exhibitions and displays, so keep an eye out around the galleries.
Come along and enjoy the interaction with these beautiful Museum specimens.
Thanks Lynda,
It seems to me that a lot has changed around QR Codes. Technology has advanced in leaps and bounces since 2008, and the diversity and number of Smartphone has really opened the possibility of incorporating more interaction with exhibitions/displays. QR Codes are only one.
Very excited to open more doors to the richness of the Museums content!
Good one Jen! Interesting to go back to some early discussions we had about QR Codes on Museum3 - do you think things have changed much? Look forward to coming back and trying it out.

Anderson, Klizan reach Casablanca quarters
Casablanca, Morocco – A pair of top-three seeds, South African Kevin Anderson and Slovak Martin Klizan, were among Thursday's second- round winners at the Moroccan Grand Prix tennis event.
The second-seeded Anderson popped eight aces and cruised past Spanish qualifier Pablo Carreno-Busta 6-3, 6-3, while the third-seeded Klizan got past Italian qualifier Filippo Volandri 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) on the red clay at Complexe Al Amal.
The 6-foot-8 former University of Illinois star Anderson will meet eighth- seeded Slovenian Grega Zemlja, while the rising Klizan will encounter seventh- seeded Dutchman Robin Haase in Friday's quarterfinals.
Haase outlasted Frenchman Kenny De Schepper 6-2, 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, while Zemlja topped Swiss qualifier Henri Laaksonen 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 on Day 4.
Friday's other quarters will pit top seed Stan Wawrinka against Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and fourth-seeded Frenchman Benoit Paire versus former world No. 5 Tommy Robredo of Spain. The Swiss slugger Wawrinka titled here three years ago, while Robredo was a Casablanca runner-up back in 2001.
In a rarity on the ATP World Tour, all four top seeds reached the quarterfinals this week.
The winner of this $525,000 tournament will earn $96,000.

A U.S. District Court jury has sided with Bluffton in a suit brought by an active police officer who accused the town of mistreatment motivated by his military service.
After two days of proceedings in Charleston this week, the jury found that the town's treament of Officer Mark Dorsey upon his return from various National Guard tours since 2003 didn't constitute discrimination or retaliation.
Dorsey sued in March of 2012 under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act, which requires employers to hold jobs held by service members for up to five years and forbids them from denying promotions or other benefits based on military status. Dorsey claimed the town denied him a bonus given to all department employees in 2011, retaliated against him by requiring ride-alongs after he returned from two leaves of absence and hurt his chances of taking future active-duty tours to reach retirement when town officials launched an inquiry into his service.
In his deposition, Dorsey argued his military superiors are now under the impression he needs town of Bluffton permission to report for active duty. He also claimed former Lt. Katherine Sours and Officer Christian Gonzales - both of whom have sued the town in the past - told him former Chief David McAllister wanted to force him out of a job.
But when town attorney Terry Finger pressed Dorsey for specifics, he couldn't provide any. Exhibits presented by Finger indicated the town held Dorsey's job for more than a year beyond the requirements under USERRA and granted Dorsey a number of cost-of-living or merit increases in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009.
Finger questioned Dorsey about the evidence that he was the only officer who didn't receive a 2011 bonus and the extent of his return training, which included three days of ride-alongs and instructional time to master legal updates. He failed his first attempt but was allowed to take the test again the next month, according to the deposition.
The town provided its own defense after its legal liability representative, the S.C. Insurance Reserve Fund, said last year that this case didn't qualify for coverage under the town's policy because it didn't involve physical injury or tangible property damage, Finger said.
"Most tort policies do require physical injury or property damage," he said. "This is purely federal statute, not a tort."
Finger said he misspoke when he said previously the town voluntarily opted out of coverage, which has driven suits to out-of-court settlements in the past.
Dorsey is not compelled to pay for Bluffton's legal fees, but the town will apply for reimbursement with the Reserve Fund, said Town Manager Anthony Barrett. The Reserve Fund offers a provision for legal costs even if it's not providing defense and covering any potential damages, a spokeswoman said.
Barrett said he's not sure how much the suit cost the town in legal fees. In a statement Barrett said the town honors members of the armed forces and the verdict proves the town's compliance with USERRA.
"The swift action of the jury to return a favorable verdict on all counts in approximately 40 minutes underscores the Town's position," he said. "The Town has and will continue to honor the service obligations of Officer Mark Dorsey and any other town employee who chooses to serve both country and community."
Since 2011, the town has paid $95,000 toward $286,000 in judgments from three separate police department suits, with the Insurance Reserve Fund covering that difference.
The town is paying $83,254 in premiums to the Reserve Fund this year.
It's unclear whether Nancy Bloodgood, Dorsey's attorney based in Charleston, will appeal the decision. She did not return calls for comment.
Bloodgood represented Sours in her two past suits and is part of Gonzales' legal team. Gonzales' suit, filed June 13 in the Beaufort County Court of Common Pleas, is the last remaining lawsuit from the tenure of former Chief David McAllister, who left last summer for a private sector job in Atlanta.

7 Homes with Eames Chairs
Whether the chairs are vintage fiberglass or new polypropylene, supported by the eiffel, dowel or rocker base, Eames chairs (and those inspired by Eames) are a common sight in the homes of Apartment Therapy readers. I've been visiting a lot of homes lately for House Tours and I've been witnessing first-hand how people integrate their molded plastic chairs into everyday functional decor.
1. Design duo Younger & Ziskin took over Anna Bautista's private home, merging retro mid century elements into a brand new loft space.
2. Bridget Sweeney's whole bedroom is bright and contemporary, polished off with the rocker chair that lights up the corner.
3. Warren and Mimi gave their twins an adorable shared nursery complete with primary green rocking chair.
4. Kara and Ken use beautiful white decor to bring out the natural flooded light in their condo.
5. Melissa made room for a compact desk and chair, in the living room of her home. Her whole house felt quaint and beachy, and the chair added something special to its atmosphere.
6. Savannah's uber stylish studio is tiny indeed, but does not lack substance what so ever. For her birthday she treated herself to this beloved blue rocker.
7. Everything about Sophie and Isaac's cute apartment is a nod to retro style, but what a great surprise to see this in their bathroom.

AUBURN, AL (WTVM) - The Chizik Family Foundation, who supports local youth development, and the Auburn Police Division is seeking community support to provide gifts for Ethan and the first responders involved in the Midland City hostage situation.
"I can only imagine what those guys are going through the whole entire week being down there and going through that. We just wanted to help out the best way we can here at the Auburn Police Division and with the Chizik Family Foundation to bring a little comfort to the first responders and the young man who was held hostage," explains Auburn Police Chief, Tommy Dawson.
Books, toys and cards as well as items for first responders can be dropped off at the Auburn Police Division until Friday, February 8.
Chief Dawson says he spoke with Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson earlier on Tuesday and expressed his appreciation of how he and his team handled the weeklong crisis.
"As a first responder it always feels good to know that the people appreciate what you're doing for them and we just want to say, that even though Auburn is a little ways away from the Midland City, we were watching you guys, we know what you're going through and we appreciate your commitment to law enforcement and to the safety of our children," says Dawson.
The deadline to drop of gifts for Ethan and the first responders is Friday at noon at the Auburn Police Department on 141 North Ross Street.
Jonna Chizik will drive to Midland City on Saturday to hand deliver the contributions.

Pay As You Go Computing? Linux is "Free As You Go!"
No thanks!
Let's hope the world wakes up and resists this before Microsoft can deploy such a computing animal.
The good news is, right now, today, Linux has "free as you go" computing. Just download Linux, install, and you have thousands of free software applications at your fingertips! Many are already installed, others need only be installed via a Linux distribution's repository. (And that takes only a couple of mouse clicks!)
You'll also be running Linux. An operating system supported by millions of users around the world! And Linux is more stable and secure than Windows!
What's the best way to get "free as you go" computing? As I've suggested in the past, find a gently used computer. Usually, this is a Windows computer someone wants to get rid of because it's infected or simply running slow due to all the bloat ware that's been installed. Then, get Linux. Run the Live CD, install from the desktop (you'll be completely overwriting Windows thus getting rid of it and all it's problems), and you're all set!
You'll have the latest version of Linux and the latest versions of Linux software all ready to work for you. And the cost is either free or minimal, depending on which Linux distribution you decide to use. And you won't be constantly shovelling loads of cash into Microsoft's pockets. As a bonus, you'll be free of Windows viruses and spy ware! You'll also become part of a wonderful and helpful user community.
So get Linux and stay off the money treadmill Microsoft is planning to build with pay as you go computers.

yeah great, as long as you dont need to do any work with proprietary software formats - which we all do - and no open office isnt quite good enough.
also linux is still completely dependent on an internet connection to install new software packages in a sensible way
dont get me wrong i like linux but its just not ready for the average user who at the moment will not be able to adminster their own machine - look at driver installs ffs!

Microsoft Windows is also dependent on an Internet connection for getting Windows Updates. Most of the programs on MS Windows need an Internet connection as well. Virus scanners, MS Office, Quicktime, Media Player, etc... If they run without an Internet connection they do so with features disabled and/or limited features. So not having an Internet connection can hurt you on MS Windows as well.
With Linux install cds/dvds they come with numerous applications by default that you do not get on a MS Windows install cd/dvd and usually have to buy separately.
As for proprietary formats that is a joke. Most formats that regular users use there are at least 4 open source programs that can convert, open, and edit them. For some formats there are hundreds of applications that can natively work these formats like .doc. Maybe people just don't bother to search the Internet for solutions and that is hardly the operating systems problem. Microsoft does not go out of their way to help users with non-MS formats either.
Average users have to jump through hoops of install/uninstall and reboot processes to install MS Windows drivers. On the newest versions of popular Linux distros the system detects and installs the driver for you just like how MS Windows add hardware is supposed to work. Plug in a digital camera and it just pops up, same with mp3 players, scanners, video cameras and the like.
The only thing stopping average computer users from using Linux is misinformation from people who do not know better or just bash Linux because they had a bad experience once. Once again how is this different from users dealing with Blue Screens and crashing applications on MS Windows.
It seems to be a trend for people to complain to do it Anonymously. Maybe they are unwilling to stand up to the scrutiny of their argument or they are just trolling.

Misinformation and disingenuous posts concerning GNU/Linux usability are going to fail.
The economic downturn, which is affecting the majority of the population, is causing smarter cautionary spending. People are not 'impulse buying' as before. Many are weighing the pros and cons of their purchases, e.g. "Do I just want it or do I need it?"
In our area, we're running a community based program helping people use their 'old' pc's by installing different Linux distros.
I can go on about the methodology we use but the comment can get very long. Suffice to say we have 100% satisfied user base and not one complaint.

Now what I would like to see this week is Brenden win the vote to come back, Rachel voted out, and the two of them "battling" to see who gets back into the house. That would definately be a train wreck if there ever was one.
Brendon...oh please, no! Although his edit on the show was the "knight in shining armour", we haven't seen his controlling and near abusive side to Rachel on the show, so America could vote for him.
I don't know if I want to vote for Cassi or Dominic. I might put five on each.

The group from LaunchYourCity that traveled to San Francisco in March has returned, refreshed and reinvigorated, ready to carry out what was the hoped-for goal of the trip:
Take the lessons learned and use them to help Memphis' startup community scale new heights.
LaunchYourCity is the apex at the top of a pyramid comprised of entities that focus on assembling mentors, accelerating companies, grooming women entrepreneurs and other similar purposes. Some of its representatives arranged the group's first-ever trip to the West Coast to go where they haven't gone before, which is the center of Startup Inc. – Silicon Valley.
Tangible results already are in the works. Tentatively scheduled for May is a hackathon that will serve the new logistics accelerator, which LaunchYourCity is putting together along with the Memphis Bioworks Foundation.
"There was a lot of interest in that," said LaunchYourCity co-president Andre Fowlkes of the still-forming accelerator, one of many elements of what's happening in Memphis that was shared with the investment community on the trip. "Many people said we ought to do a hackathon. That we should get the best developers in the country in a room with some of the best supply chain professionals in the country, put the big IT problems on a board, give them a couple of days, and see what happens. So we decided to do that."
Right now, a dual hackathon is scheduled, one in Memphis and one in San Francisco.
–Andre Fowlkes Co-president, LaunchYourCity
"We're going to leverage these connections we just made and local supply chain experts," Fowlkes said. "The people in San Francisco are on board, and now we need to get Memphis on board."
Beyond that, some of the talks between the Memphis crowd and the San Francisco folks may result in some out-of-towners flying in for the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest, which also happens to be around the time six companies are graduating out of LaunchYourCity's Seed Hatchery accelerator.
Sponsors of the trip included American Airlines, a-m ventures, FedEx, the Marston Group and Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC.
Aleda Schaffer, strategic partnerships manager for startups and small business with American Airlines, said the airline offers travel grants for select companies to pitch to investors or to meet with a potential new customer.
"It's our goal to become the preferred airline of entrepreneurs and the startup community," Schaffer said. "We are not taking equity in companies or requiring that they fly on us. We are providing support to the startup community and hoping to earn their loyalty, so that when they grow, we grow with them."
LaunchYourCity focuses its efforts on three areas: growing entrepreneurs and their ideas, accelerating startup companies and building the ecosystem of support resources.
The West Coast trip was focused on the third of those goals – on learning new ways to grow the ecosystem of support resources for Memphis.
"What we were able to accomplish was make some in-roads in the investment community to, first of all, get validation that our methodology and our efforts are sound," Fowlkes said. "When we started talking about the accelerators, what we're doing as far as bringing information technology into the medical field and now looking at logistics, they were very interested in what we were doing here. And it's already led to some great talks with some angel investors from the San Francisco area.
"All in all, it was a great trip. Totally worth the investment. We're already looking at the next one as well as other places we need to be traveling to."

New Research May Make Vegetables More Appetizing for Kids
Redden's work could lead to greater consumption of vegetables and better nutrition
Parents have struggled for generations to get their children to eat more vegetables. Assistant Professor of Marketing Joe Redden and a team of University researchers may have found something that will help.
Redden was part of a multi-disciplinary team that conducted a two-day experiment with about 800 Minneapolis-area elementary students. On the first day, the researchers let the kids help themselves to the available school lunch items and noted what was taken and eaten.
The researchers returned to the school a couple months later on a day the same meal was offered. However, on this visit photographs of green beans and carrots were placed on the compartments of lunch trays.
Their easy and inexpensive intervention produced some surprising results. The percentage of students who elected for green beans doubled and the number choosing carrots tripled. This result is critical as a primary obstacle to healthier eating is getting children to even consider vegetables in the first place.
"The photos seem to indicate that they should take vegetables and that other children were also doing so. This nudge counteracted their initial reaction of rejecting the vegetables," Redden noted.
More importantly, the school children did not just take more vegetables, they also ate more of them. On the days with the vegetable photos, the amount of vegetables eaten at the school increased by 133% for the green beans and 177% for the carrots. This experience would hopefully lead to greater consumption of vegetables in the future and better nutrition over time.
Redden and colleagues recently published a research letter on their findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association and are currently conducting further studies.

First success with a new project: a simple frame buffer and controller for the graphical LCD display I'd previously used with an AVR.
The red board is a Papilio One with a Spartan 3E FPGA, power supply, SPI dataflash for the FPGA configuration, and a FTDI USB-serial IC for communications and programming. The white protoboard houses buffers to drive the 5V LCD from the 3.3V FPGA I/O and a MAX232 used to provide the awkward negative LCD drive voltage. To the left on the green protoboard is a 4-character dot matrix LED display.
A block RAM is just the right size to perform as a frame buffer, and they are dual-ported, so one port can be set aside for outside access. The frame buffer continuously cycles through the contents of that RAM with a simple state machine, occasionally wiggling control signals and delaying for a short period between each line to let the display react. The code will appear on GitHub when it's cleaned up a bit.
edit: The code for the LCD controller/framebuffer is here.

Anchored in the fertile farm ground in Southern California's Santa Maria Valley is Bien Nacido Vineyards , a 3,000-acre ranch including 800-acres of premium wine grapes grown in this cool-weather paradise amid sprawling, picturesque hillsides.
Since 1969, the Miller family has owned and operated Bien Nacido Vineyards, located southeast of Santa Maria in Santa Barbara County. Today, Stephen Miller and sons Marshall and Nicholas lead the operation.
"People say 800 acres of wine grapes is a huge amount," says vineyard manager Chris Hammell. "While the number is high, we have many small blocks which are custom farmed down to the row."
The cool climate and lighter soils are well suited for grape production. The elevation of the vineyards ranges from 200-900 feet.
Want access to the very latest in agriculture news each day? Sign up for the Western Farm Press Daily e-mail newsletter.
In addition to wine grapes, Bien Nacido also grows avocados, blueberries under hoops, lemons, and about 100 head of livestock, mostly sheep and goats. About 800 acres are leased out.
Bien Nacido also owns and manages Solomon Hills Vineyards to the southwest near Orcutt which has about 100 acres of grapes. This brings the Miller's total wine grape acreage in the county to about 900 acres.
One-third of the acreage is planted in Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc with an equal planting in Chardonnay. The remaining third is mostly Syrah, with a sprinkling of Grenache, Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne, Nebbiolo, and other varieties.
Bien Nacido is the first California vineyard to grow Syrah in a cool climate.
Grape production changes
During his 13 years with Bien Nacido, Hammell has helped implement grape production changes which have increased the number of interested buyers.
About 75 percent of the grape production is sold for blending to wineries. Of that amount, about half of the grapes are sold to Santa Barbara County wineries. The other half is sold to wineries in Ventura, Napa, Monterey, San Luis, Santa Cruz, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties.
Several Oregon wineries also purchase grapes.
Ultra premium grapes, which represent about 25 percent of Bien Nacido's production, are crafted into wine with the Bien Nacido label.
"Bien Nacido is best known for the production of premium wine grapes to create high end designate wines in the market," Hammell said.
These wines capture higher price points: Chardonnay in the mid $20 to mid $60-per-bottle range and Pinot from $35-$100. Syrah fetches $38-$145.
For these vineyard designate wines, the yield target is 2-3 tons per acre for Pinot; 3-4 tons for Chardonnay, and 1.5-2 tons per acre for Syrah.
Over the years, Bien Nacido has incorporated many innovations. In 2007, the company launched private label programs with Trader Joe's and other companies to blend its Santa Maria-grown grapes with grapes from the Miller family's French Camp Vineyards in Paso Robles to the north.
"We take the grapes, essentially skip the middle man, sell directly to different companies, and save costs. It's a huge business for us as a company overall," Hammell said, "totaling more than a hundred thousand cases annually."
Great wine starts with the grape
Bien Nacido grapes are grown using various production techniques for different markets.
"We can have the best grapes in the world but the grapes don't make themselves into wine," Hammell said.
"Wine quality starts in the vineyard but does not end there. It requires a good competent winemaker, and someone who tells your story and markets the wine through the right channels and places it in front of the right wine critics."
A factor which benefits Bien Nacido vineyards is the area's good terrior. Another is the staff's good understanding of wine grapes and wine culture.
"Wine is our passion," Hammell said. "We know wine and we know how to make wine and appreciate wine."
He added, "We consider ourselves wine growers. We are not farmers who also just happen to grow grapes. We drink wine every day. It is a passion with us."
The Miller family invests financially into good canopy management. The industry-standard vertical-shoot positioning trellis (VSP) system is widely used but with a twist. A cross arm is sometimes added to open up the VSP for enhanced photosynthesis and better airflow through the canopy. Hammell saw this technique used in some Napa vineyards.
In addition, shoot positioning sometimes includes physically tying the shoots back to the cross arm to decrease shoot and cluster crowding and overlap. This is in the experimental phase due to increase labor costs.
A third priority is to pick a clean crop. Frost protection, insect and disease control, and canopy management are all crucial.
That said, the Santa Maria Valley has perfect summer weather conditions for powdery mildew disease development, including a dew (fog) which burns off in the late morning followed by daytime temperatures in the 70's, ideal for mildew development.
The valley is also a target for the mealybug which is difficult to control. The insect is well established in certain Bien Nacido blocks and is hard to eradicate. Well-timed sustainable control methods have proven effective to mitigate problems associated with its presence.
At harvest, workers carefully remove fruit from the canopy with eaves and other material vine material left behind. This is done, Hammell says, to sends a positive message to the winemaker.
"We try to set ourselves a part from other growers at the winery level by making a clean pick a high priority," Hammell said.
In addition, cluster-filled bins are washed out at the ranch before transport to the winery.
"We send out clean fruit and hope the winemaker notices the extra effort."
Hammell is proud of the company's close relationships with clients – consultants, buyers, and others.
"We have an open dialogue with our clients. I listen to their suggestions very closely," Hammell said. "I am constantly learning new information which helps me produce higher quality wine grapes year after year."
Turning to mechanization, Bien Nacido purchased French-made Pellenc selectiv multi-function equipment three years ago, including the harvester, pre-pruner, and sprayer attachments. The harvester can pick about 150 acres of grapes per season; fruit typically not intended for the Bien Nacido label. This could change over time if effectiveness can be proven at the highest end.
"It is an amazing machine which is amazingly expensive too," Hammell noted. "We don't regret buying it. It is a really good unit."
Many hand-picked grapes are harvested at night with lights to maintain grape quality.
Soils on the ranch vary widely but are mostly light, well-drained soils. Located below the main operation is a riverbed and canyon with sandy soil with cobblestones. The mountain area behind the ranch includes Monterey shale-based sandy loam ground. The "bench land" area is a mixture if eroded shale from mountains mixed with alluvial deposits from the nearby Sisquoc River.
In addition to rainfall, vines receive up to 10-inches of irrigation, depending on the location and variety.
The Miller family and Hammell are proud that Bien Nacido Vineyards is dually certified as sustainable under the Sustainability in Practice and Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing programs.
A few acres of grapes are grown non-certified organically for several clients and for use in Bien Nacido's small winery which produces about 1,000 cases annually.
"We don't like to make a big deal out of the organic production since we consider our entire operation as sustainable," Hammell said.
As the noon hour approached, Hammell summarized his comments, focusing on overall improved wine grape quality across the Santa Maria Valley AVA. He said the area is gaining respect for its grapes; respect which has been earned, not just deserved.
"We have been in the shadow of Napa and Sonoma for a long time. There is a reason for that – we were not as good," Hammell said.
"Now we are as good. People are now taking notice and we're gaining a worldwide audience," Hammell concluded.

Hellesdon and Taverham high schools to split joint Sixth Form
PUBLISHED: 09:53 26 February 2013 | UPDATED: 09:53 26 February 2013
The success of two city schools has led to the dissolution of a sixth form partnership.
Hellesdon and Taverham high schools have been working together for a number of years with post-16 students completing courses across the two sites.
But now governors at the Taverham school have decided to withdraw from the partnership and concentrate on running their own sixth form provision.
Ron Munson, headteacher, said: "This is a positive thing. Both schools have had really good Ofsteds and the sixth form has been praised. We're both getting so big now we can go it alone."
Both schools will now run their own sixth forms which they say will continue to offer the same range of courses students currently access at the two sites.
Where particular subjects are not available, the schools will make use of existing link-ups which already see some pupils heading to different sixth forms and colleges around Norwich.
Teenagers in the current year 11 choosing to stay on will become Hellesdon Sixth Form or Taverham Sixth Form students while those already in year 12 will finish their studies as part of the partnership.
Gerry Batty, headteacher at Hellesdon High, said he saw the decision by the Taverham governors as a "massive opportunity" to improve what was on offer to students.
He now plans to use the final half term of the summer as a "roll over" period for students to prepare them for the next year of study. "We couldn't do that before," he said. "Now we are totally untied so we can do that roll over. We can also look at the variety of courses at level two and level three so we can offer more opportunities for the students."
Hellesdon High was rated good by inspectors at the end of last year. It marked an impressive turnaround for the academy which was issued with a notice to improve by Ofsted four years before.
Taverham High was also rated good in November 2012, when inspectors judged the behaviour of pupils to be outstanding.
Last summer, the Hellesdon Taverham Sixth Form Partnership achieved an A-level pass rate of 100pc with 74pc at A* to C grades.

Greenway Medical (GWAY) IPO Suggests Big Opportunities For EMR Vendors

Zieger formerly served as editor-in-chief of FierceHealthcare.com and her commentaries have appeared in dozens of international business publications, including Forbes, Business Week and Information Week. She has also contributed content to hundreds of healthcare and health IT organizations, including several Fortune 500 companies.

While there's a number of large, publicly-traded EMR vendors out there — General Electric (NASDAQ: GE) and Cerner (NASDAQ: CERN) immediately come to mind — to date we haven't seen many mid-sized or small companies kick off an initial public offering. But one medium-sized EMR/practice management vendor has broken the mold.
Today, Greenway Medical Technologies (NASDAQ: GWAY) took the plunge , pulling in $67 million to fund its operations. While the company had hoped to raise $100 million, its take is nothing to sneeze at. Health IT is a tricky investment, even for pros like yourselves, readers, and institutional investors in particular are a conservative bunch. The fact that they're spending on a risky business means a lot.
Greenway, whose EMR is bundled with practice management software, had one heck of a ride today, with its stock climbing 30 percent during its first day of trading. The company sold 6.7 million shares at prices below its expected $11 to $13 range, diluting its intake somewhat, but the stock closed at a promising $13 per share.
The Carrollton, Ga.-based vendor has certainly done well in recent times. According to insider Wall Street blog Seeking Alpha, Greenway revenues shot up 55 percent, to $25.7 million, during the last quarter of operations. Operating margins went from negative to a positive 2 percent, which is at least a start. Its biggest cash generator during the quarter was licensing revenue, which climbed 49 percent.
What's interesting about this IPO isn't just the fact that it ended well for Greenway. After all, it did take in less than planned, and the Wall Street crowd justifiably wonders how it will fare in a mind-boggling competitive market. But it's worth asking whether Greenway did better because it bundles both an EMR and practice management tools. Did the fact that Greenway wasn't relying solely on EMR revenue contribute to its growth and financial success? It would be interesting to find out, as that might help predict whether the bundled model is especially popular with physicians.
As for those who'd seek to imitate Greenway, they may have a chance if they move soon. Seeking Alpha editors think HITECH will still pump enough money into the EMR market to make these companies a reasonable investment. And given how many doctors and hospitals are still struggling to put EMRs in place, I have to agree. In fact, given that an amazing number of hospitals and medical practices junk their first EMR, there may be a whole second wave of opportunity within three to five years.
All told, if the market's response to a smallish IPO is any indication, you can expect a bunch of other EMR players to follow in its footsteps. I'm thinking it will be companies in the $100m to $200m range, as they're small enough to need capital (much cheaper capital than banks offer these days!) and nimble enough to benefit from the cash influx. Stay tuned and in coming months, I'll tell you which other EMR and HIT companies I'm betting will climb onto the launch pad.

Batkid in action in San Francisco
Batkid in action in San Francisco
The Make-A-Wish Foundation and the city of San Francisco gave 5-year-old Miles Scott a day to be Batkid.
Miles, accompanied on Friday's adventures by an adult Batman impersonator, was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 18 months old and is now in remission.
Miles thought he was in San Francisco just to get a Batman costume so he could dress like his favorite superhero, KGO-TV reported.
Crowds gathered as they waited for Batkid to arrive at a former bank vault.
The first caper for Batkid was to rescue a damsel in distress.
The woman hugged Batkid after he and his partner rescued her and disabled a plastic replica bomb.
The heroes then took off to catch the Riddler as he robbed a downtown bank.
Batkid saved the San Francisco Giants mascot, who was kidnapped by the Penguin, at AT&T Park.

And if they do it will be suicide as billions of dollars worth of systems and applications rely on X86 Windows.
More likely from watching what has been happening under Ballmer's reign at MSFT this is likely to be a "Hail Mary" to try to get them a chunk of the smartphone market but IMHO its a dumb move. You don't crap on a billion dollar cash cow to try to jam your foot in the door of a market where you have ZERO strengths and has two incumbents that are both very powerful AND have better brand identities. hell even my 71 year old non tech dad knows what Android is and Apple is a juggernaut in mobile with iPhone and iPad.
Look we ALL know why they are doing it, its because the MHz wars are over and the PC is a mature platform while ARM is just starting a MHz war of its own. But MSFT had tried repeatedly to break into that market, first with winCE then Zune and then WinPhone 7 but all their flailing and billions wasted barely got them even 5% of the market.
So I'd say Intel is right as the ONLY reason people turn to the windows brand is for Windows X86 programs which ARM simply won't have. if this strategy was gonna work it would have with WinPhone 7 which is a fine smartphone OS, but Android and Apple simply have the better brands in this space with much larger appstores and better product recognition.

Media Contact: Dr. Mike Walden, 919.515.4671 or email@example.com
By Dr. Mike Walden North Carolina Cooperative Extension
In November, did 20,037 additional people find employment in North Carolina, or did jobs at non-farm businesses fall by 6,500? Actually, both were correct, and this simple example illustrates the problems in measuring the health of the state's labor market.
Each month, the federal government issues two jobs reports for the nation and for individual states. Neither is an exact count, but both are based on statistically extrapolating the totals from a sample. The two reports are the household employment survey and the establishment job survey.
The household survey involves contacting a sample of households and gathering information about their work status. Unemployment rates are derived from this survey. The establishment survey gathers information about jobs from existing non-farm businesses. Data about hours worked, wages and the types of companies employing workers are in this survey.
The two surveys are different, give different information and have different advantages and disadvantages. The household survey indicates only if a person is employed. So if an individual has more than one job, he or she is counted as only one employed person. By contrast, the establishment survey would recognize the multiple jobs held by this person.
The establishment survey counts jobs where the jobs are located, even if the holder of the job lives outside the state. The household survey does the opposite – attaching employment only to households living in North Carolina.
The household survey is better at capturing employment of individuals in newly created businesses, self-employed individuals and employees on farms. The establishment survey is run from a list of existing businesses.
A major difference between the two surveys is their sample size. The household survey uses only 60,000 households nationwide, which is 0.05 percent of all households. The establishment survey uses a sample of 400,000 non-farm businesses covering a third of all workers. In statistical terms, this gives more confidence to the establishment survey numbers.
Hence, the two job surveys are very different in their construction and measurement. Does this mean they will automatically give different results? The answer is that over long periods of time, the two surveys produce very similar results, but over short periods they can diverge significantly.
In November (latest data available), the household survey showed 4,314,502 persons employed in North Carolina, while the establishment survey listed 4,084,100 jobs (both numbers are seasonally-adjusted). This is a difference of nearly 5.5 percent between the two. Perhaps more important, both surveys show a recovery in the state's labor market since it hit bottom during the recession. Employment in the household survey is up 5.8 percent from its bottom in late 2009, and total non-farm jobs in the establishment survey have increased 6.4 percent since the low point in early 2010.
But comparing the two surveys over a shorter period of time shows much less conformity. Looking at the change in the numbers for the first 11 months of 2013, the household survey indicates a 5,699-person loss in employment in the state, but the establishment survey gives a 51,800-person gain in non-farm jobs. This is obviously a big gap. Perhaps even more telling, in five of the past 11 months, the two surveys were not consistent in showing employment and jobs moving in the same direction. That is, in almost half of the months, one survey showed employment or jobs rising, while the other survey suggested employment or jobs declining.
One other related issue is the measurement of unemployment. The most frequently quoted rate is criticized because it excludes as unemployed those individuals who want a job, but have simply stopped looking (so-called discouraged workers). What is generally not recognized is that the government does publish an alternative jobless rate including such individuals as unemployed, as well as an even broader rate adding as unemployed those workers who have taken part-time jobs only because they can't find full-time work. In the third quarter of 2013, these three rates for North Carolina were 8.6 percent (most often referenced), 9.9 percent (includes discourage workers) and 14.9 percent (includes those who took part-time employment). However, each of these was down about 2 percentage points from the highs of three years earlier.

Syngenta Seeds, Inc. announced that it will begin selling soybean seed in EZ-Count 140,000 seed units for the 2010 planting season.
By selling soybeans in EZ-Count 140,000 seed units rather than 50-pound units, Syngenta provides growers with a more accurate way to order seed and aligns with grower interest in precision planting. EZ-Count eliminates concern over seed size and weight variation and allows growers to select varieties based on agronomic characteristics that are best for their farm, rather than the size of the seed.
"With new soybean technology entering into the marketplace, EZ-Count is a more equitable way for growers to purchase germplasm, traits and seed treatments," said Gene Kassmeyer, head, Syngenta Seeds soybean product line. "The new method provides growers with accuracy, uniform pricing and assurance that they are purchasing the correct amount of seed. There is simply no more guesswork involved when it comes to how many seeds are in a package."
The weight of EZ-Count 140,000 seed units will vary, however the number of seeds in each unit will always equal 140,000. EZ-Count units will be sold only in paper bags, bulk bags and Q-Bit® Boxes in 2010, but will be offered in all package types for 2011 planting.
EZ-Count soybeans are available in February 2010 for all new NK® Soybeans varieties, including the Aphid Management System varieties. The full NK Soybeans portfolio will be sold as EZ-Count in 2011.

A 52-year-old woman in India gave birth to a boy on October 2. While her advanced maternal age is remarkable on its own, it's the age of the father that is a new world record: 96 years old, reports Yahoo news.
Ramajit Raghav previously set the record for world's oldest father when he had a son with his wife Shakuntala Devi two years ago. Now that the couple has had another son, Raghav broke his own record.
According to The Sun, Raghav's diet of milk, butter and almonds and abstaining from drugs and alcohol has enhanced his longevity and fertility. "I didn't take any performance enhancers. … I just prayed to God to complete my family, either a boy or a girl," Raghav told the Times of India. But as for any future children: "I have asked my wife to be sterilized now," he said. "I don't want more children; we can't afford it."
Plus: Why you're not getting pregnant
Is this story remarkable...or selfish? After all, he won't be around for many more years to raise the child. Leave a comment and tell us what you think.
Watch an interview with Raghav:

In his performer's note, Chad Brummett describes The Velocity of Gary (not his real name) as a second chance. This production of James Still's Gary, presented by Tricklock Theatre Company at The Box Performance Space, is staging No. 2 for Brummett, having also performed the solo drama 10 years ago while studying theater at UNM.
Brummett's second sojourn into Gary's juggernaut of a reality isn't based on failure—at least that's not what he said in the playbill and that's not what I'm inclined to believe. Still's created a challenging and rewarding character in Gary: a character who not only deserves a revisit, he demands it.
Gary, not his real name by the way, likes many things. He likes wearing his reflective sunglasses so people can see themselves in his eyes. He likes the feel of his leather jacket on his naked skin. He likes (really likes) playing pinball while mysterious men in suits stare at him, wanting. Gary travels through life as one might through a shopping mall with a loaded gift card—only Gary's mall is the streets of New York and his currency is an overdeveloped sense of "anything can happen."
As solo shows go, The Velocity of Gary has a singular appeal. Gary doesn't stand on its clever writing alone, giving the job of the performer immensely more weight. To say the script of Gary isn't humorous or witty would be wrong, but it's not a story one could just read to the audience to get laughs or empathy. Gary must be performed.
Brummett has made his mark on the New Mexico dramatic community over the years, having starred in many local productions (his performance as Hamlet was a highlight), and he is making his way into the inner circle of Burquewood (Beer for My Horses, 3:10 to Yuma, "In Plain Sight"). Brummett's impressive résumé alone should drive any theater lover to the doors of The Box. His performance is engulfing from the first line, and he keeps that attention throughout the whole show. Particularly noteworthy is Brummett's ability to shift between characters (or Gary's perception of each character) as well as his spacial awareness. The small thrust stage at The Box doesn't allow Brummett much room for self or props, but a larger space would have only presented an unnecessary challenge. Brummett has another commanding performance to add to his résumé. Very polished, supremely well studied and brilliantly staged.
So how has 10 years of reflection and honing of his craft aided Brummett in presenting Gary today as compared to his college days? I imagine this time Brummett has insight (and hindsight) he couldn't fathom the first go-around. Not to detract from Brummett's performance—it was damn brilliant—but it took artistic balls of steel to bring the audience in on the secret of his second stab at this role. Brummett allowed us, in some small way, to imagine him at the beginning of his career, before his film credits and reputation as one of the finest actors in Burque. He brought us in on the reflection to contemplate what he has learned over a decade. I found myself thinking as much about Brummett's journey performing Gary as I did about Gary's trials within the play.
We audience members rarely contemplate the hours, days and years of effort put into the minutes we see on stage. The only thing that could make The Velocity of Gary better would be a question and answer session with Brummett after the show. This audience member is dying to know what little bits and pieces Brummett discovered on the return journey, because they came together beautifully on the stage.

How you learn will determine how you lead. At RTS Jackson (known as the Belcher Campus), campus housing fosters a strong community environment for learning and spiritual formation. Surrounded by other believers, you can process out loud what you're learning. You can discuss what you hear in classroom lectures at a break, over lunch, or on the basketball court. The context of community fosters meditation on God's Word.From a biblical perspective, community is rooted in worship, and the seminary gathers weekly for a special time of worship in chapel. In addition, the Jackson area boasts a strong contingent of Bible-believing churches which help our students grow spiritually through internships, preaching the circuit, and pulpit supply, giving our students the opportunities to put into practice the skills that they are developing in the classroom.
Our strong community provides a variety of social outlets. In addition to weekly basketball, ultimate frisbee, and soccer on campus, the Student Cabinet organizes monthly events that draw the community together for a time of fellowship. Women In Ministry provides an avenue for our seminary women (both wives and students) to plug into the community through fellowship with other seminary women. The Reformed Informer is a weekly publication that informs our students of everything they need to know about Student Life.E.M. Bounds once said, "The church is looking for better methods, but God is looking for better men." God has blessed us with faculty that have an unswerving commitment to the authority and inerrancy of God's Word and produce first-rate academic scholarship. They invest their lives in our students. Through weekly prayer groups and regular lunches, faculty seek to imprint their love for God's church and his Word on their students. They truly live out our motto: a mind for truth, a heart for God.The best way to learn about RTS is to visit our campus. I will be happy to reserve a guest room for you so you can attend classes, worship with us in chapel, meet faculty members, and visit with students.

Developing baseball talent is always an inexact science.
Even when a team drafts or signs a bona fide prospect, injuries sometimes get in the way of the most promising careers.
Such is the case this year for three of the game's top prospects, Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton, Baltimore Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy and Kansas City Royals right-hander Kyle Zimmer.
Buxton recently returned to action at Class A Fort Myers after missing most of the season due to wrist problems.
Bundy, who underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2013, is just five starts into his comeback in the low minors.
Due to biceps and lat injuries, Zimmer is still awaiting his 2014...

ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference has announced the All-Sportsmanship Team for the Conference's four Fall sports. The All-Sportsmanship Team was one of three new awards approved during the Conference's Fall meetings to recognize one of the fundamental principles of the Conference. Five Greenville College student-athletes were selected for this award. They included John Spencer, men's cross country; Michelle Sutton, women's cross country; Jenna Marcotte, volleyball; Matt Cowman, men's soccer; and Rachel Irwin, women's soccer.
The All-Sportsmanship Team, which in the future will be announced with each sports' All-Conference Team, will include one individual from each school that sponsors the sport. Coaches and student-athletes will select one member of their team who, throughout the season, best displays the ideals of sportsmanship that include fairness, civility, honesty, unselfishness, respect, and responsibility.
The other new sportsmanship awards are the "SLIAC Sportsmanship Award" and the "'Exemplary' Sportsmanship Award." The SLIAC Sportsmanship Award will be presented to the institution that receives the highest combined point total in the voting of the Sportsmanship Awards currently presented in each of the Conference's 12 sports. That award is selected by the coaches and student-athletes and presented to the team whose players, coaches and fans best exhibit the principles of good sportsmanship.
The 'Exemplary' Sportsmanship Award is a special award presented as the Conference deems appropriate. This Award will be reserved for those singular acts of sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches, fans or administrators that stand well above and beyond normal conduct.

Maybe a baby boom is all polarized Washington needs to share some much-needed love across the aisle.
As news here spread that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed a baby boy in London Monday, capital city lawmakers gushed their approval and offered well wishes via cyberspace to the royal couple across the pond. It was an opportunity to reinforce that "special relationship" between the United States and Great Britain and, heck, party affiliation and policy preferences aside, who doesn't love a baby?
Like many capital city notables, first lady Michelle Obama – who has positioned herself as this nation's mom-in-chief – sent her good cheer via Twitter: "Congratulations to The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their son! Being a parent is the best job of all. -mo"
Twitter reports that the peak in global conversation of the royal baby occurred at 8:37 p.m. London time with 25,300 tweets per minute.
Among the reactions registered here, gender generally appears to have been more determinative of a public figure's enthusiasm than party. In other words, at least anecdotally, the moms went moony while some of the dads around town just got on with business.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R) of New Hampshire tweeted: "Congratulations to the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge & all of Great Britain on the birth of the #RoyalBaby!"
And here's Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) of Alaska, focusing on the size of the baby, who is now third in line to the throne and remains, as of this file, unnamed: "Congratulations to the Duchess of Cambridge for the 8 lb., 6 oz. #RoyalBaby! An exciting day for England and observers everywhere."
Three out of four members of the congressional party leadership remained Twitter silent while the rest of the world buzzed about baby. A mother of five and grandmother, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D) of California weighed in, but her counterpart, Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio, and their foils in the Senate, majority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada and minority leader Mitch McConnell (R) of Kentucky, were busy with other matters.
Leader Pelosi: "Wishing Prince William and Duchess Kate much joy and happiness as Great Britain welcomes the newest member of the Royal Family. #RoyalBaby"
Senator McConnell's tweets yesterday were mostly focused on his speech to a national Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Louisville, Ky., and related issues. Speaker Boehner got some digs in at the president's attempt to turn the national political conversation back to the economy, and knocked rising gas prices and the Affordable Care Act. Senator Reid was Twitter absent yesterday.
President Obama issued a formal statement, but no word yet about what type of gift the first family might send to Will and Kate. (Remember that ill-conceived iPod for the queen? Here's hoping the Obamas do better this go-round; they know babies, after all.)
"We wish them all the happiness and blessings parenthood brings," Mr. Obama said. "The child enters the world at a time of promise and opportunity for our two nations. Given the special relationship between us, the American people are pleased to join with the people of the United Kingdom as they celebrate the birth of the young prince."
And if the family in the White House counts as our royal brood – at least temporarily – then the almost-royal Romney clan had its own good news to celebrate Monday. As Slate reports, an estimated 367,000 other babies came into the world on July 22, and the Romneys can claim one as theirs.
Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential candidate, introduced his 22nd grandchild via Twitter: "Our Josh and Jen also had a new baby boy yesterday. @AnnDRomney and I feel royally blessed. #22"
