GlobalTec doesn't want you to read this, so you probably should.
The Dallas company peddles investment software on infomercials, luring naïve customers to seminars in hotel rooms throughout the country, where evangelistic salespeople preach the gospel of get-rich-quick.
GlobalTec's flagship software, Wizetrade, purports to make users rich by telling them when to buy or sell a given stock. This is done through red and green lights. If you can understand a traffic light, where you have to deal with three colors, Wizetrade is supposed to be a cinch. The company also runs a radio talk show and "Traders Television Network," a satellite TV channel where GlobalTec instructors talk about the products.
GlobalTec's legal threats started immediately after the Houston Press, the Dallas Observer's sister paper, asked the most basic questions, and, after reading this story, you'll understand why. But if you want to heed GlobalTec, here are some do's and don'ts the company would like you to follow:
DO: pay $3,000 for software that purports to get you rich through trading in the stock market.
DON'T: read the fine print in the contract, which says the software doesn't come with instructions or training. And when you do finally receive the instructions or training, you automatically forfeit the right to a refund.
DO: believe that GlobalTec's brain trust has securities expertise that makes Warren Buffett look like a drooling baboon.
DON'T: try to verify the brain trust's credentials.
DO: pour thousands into additional books, DVDs and seminars that tell you how to make even more money off the magic lamp you already spent $3,000 on.
DON'T: read this story, because this is where you'll find out what GlobalTec is really about.
If you overlook the fundamental flaw, the infomercial is brilliant.
The fundamental flaw is the same for every infomercial: If a dude has a sure-fire key to fortune, why would he travel around the country selling it to people when he could just use it for himself?
But, as with all get-rich-quick schemes, you must check your logic at the door. And when you do so with Wizetrade, you will enter the world of George Thompson, a financial wizard who built a Dallas trading firm (never identified) before founding GlobalTec and inventing a piece of software that "levels the playing field" for individual day traders. Wizetrade contains a "proprietary algorithm" capable of "thousands of calculations" a second, telling you when you should buy or sell a stock. It dumbs down the process so much that all you have to do is watch the lights: If the light is green, you buy a stock. If it's red, you sell.
As shown on the infomercial, this wizardry allows Thompson to tool around in his Magnum, P.I. Ferrari and race motorcycles. Then come the testimonials from regular schlubs who have been able to quit their jobs and live the high life, thanks to Wizetrade. To augment the look of authenticity, GlobalTec operates a radio talk show and satellite TV channel. When you buy Wizetrade, you're buying into a whole system--these guys are here for you, and they won't let you down.
Don't give your money to self-interested brokers, the ad says. Don't count on your retirement plan. Wizetrade is the way to go. And, lucky you, there happen to be a few free demonstrations at a hotel near you this week.
The Press went to a demonstration in the Clear Lake Hilton near Houston last December. More than 30 people, mostly older white men, made their way into the convention room, where an exuberant man named Fred Mansfield stood before a projection screen showing the Wizetrade software.
Mansfield is from Orlando, where--though he doesn't say it--GlobalTec's corporate parent is located. He was never a stock wizard, only a restaurant manager.
"It's time to take control of your life!" he says. Mansfield speaks only in motivational sound bites. He says Wizetrade has "given me control of my time...you can't TiVo time!"
So Mansfield has oodles of free time for his family, who appear on the screen: his wife, son and two girls with flowers in their hair. The next picture is that of the adorable Mansfield puppy, at play with a neon-green chew toy.
"Red light, green light, that's all we need to know!" Mansfield barks. It's like it says on the Wizetrade Web site: It takes all the guesswork out of trading. It's so easy that his 7-year-old daughter loves it. And now Mansfield takes some time to go on about how much he loves his daughter, who just brought home a wonderful report card and whose baseball team just won some Florida championship. Here's a father who definitely loves his daughter. How could you not buy software from this guy?
And he's looking out for the audience too. Ordinarily, Wizetrade costs $3,995. And if you want the "boot camp DVDs" and the training class thrown in, that would cost $6,285. But today, Mansfield's going to give it all away for $2,995.
"That's it!" he yells.
Some in the audience are less than impressed at the price. So Mansfield does some mental kung fu. He asks how many in the audience think $3,000 is a lot of money. A few hands shoot up.
"If that's truly a lot of money for you, you need this!" he says. Go ahead, put it on your credit card. Don't think of it as a payment. Think of it as an investment.
It looks like about six people bought Wizetrade that day. Who knows how many will read the fine print: "All purchasers of software or other products owned by GlobalTec...are encouraged to consult with a licensed representative of their choice regarding any particular investment or investment strategy."
And: "Trading stocks, options and spot currencies involves substantial risk; and there is always the potential for loss. Your trading results may vary. No representation is being made that any software or training will guarantee profits or not result in losses from trading."
And still: GlobalTec products are "analytical tools only and are not intended to replace individual research or licensed investment advice. Unique experiences and past performances do not guarantee future results! Testimonials are non-representative of all clients; certain accounts may have worse performance than that indicated."
No representation is being made? Then what the hell has Fred Mansfield been yelling about for the last two hours?
According to the Texas State Securities Board, GlobalTec founder George Thompson was never a licensed financial adviser or securities dealer.
Not much is known about Thompson before he met self-described Dallas philanthropist Marc Sparks around 2000. Sparks was in the midst of defending a class-action suit against his failed insurance group, Unistar Financial. Unistar would partially settle in 2001, paying about $1.7 million to investors who said Sparks and others artificially inflated the stock price. In 2003, the SEC filed its own suit against Sparks and Unistar.
According to the suit, pending in the Northern District of Texas, Sparks created Unistar with Houston businessman Phillip H. Clayton (described as a "three-time felon") and a New Yorker named Dino Romano, "a securities fraud recidivist." Sparks, the suit says, issued misleading statements about Unistar's health, all the while buying and selling majority shares to shell companies owned by Clayton and Sparks in a series of unregistered transactions.
A spokeswoman for Sparks stated in an e-mail to the Press, "We are confident that there will be a satisfactory resolution."
Unistar went belly up in 1999, and Sparks needed something to do. According to his self-aggrandizing Web site, www.whoismarcsparks.com, Sparks is the kind of guy who sits around waiting to give money to entrepreneurs who invent The Next Big Thing. That's when, according to his Web site, "Sparks took on a brash, young partner who had developed a remarkable software program but had no idea how to get it out of his garage" and GlobalTec (originally called Stock Decision Software) was born.
The GlobalTec software analyzed real-time stock market data and showed users buy and sell pressure for every conceivable stock. And, really, that's all you needed to know. It's called "black-box trading"--you don't have to know anything about what a company does, how long it's been around or, for that matter, its freaking name. All you need to do is look at how many people have bought and sold the stock in the last five minutes or last five months. If you see a green light, buy the bastard. Red, sell. Boom. Level playing field. No need to give money to some snot-nosed 24-year-old broker in a fancy suit sitting in a fancy high-rise. All he cares about is his own commission anyway.
Although the "proprietary algorithm" behind Wizetrade may be complicated, the concept is not supposed to be. According to the Wizetrade Web site, the software's graphs "analyze the selected stock's market activity and indicate its upward and downward trend."
Those trends are color-coded. The red line "incorporates the algorithms and factors that have driven a price downward, representing the selling interest of the stock," while the green line "incorporates the algorithms and factors that have driven a stock's price upward, representing buying interest of the stock."
The user then employs the "FAST" system:
F for fresh cross: "when the green line crosses over the red line within 1 time frame of the current time frame on the Wizetrade charts."
A for angle: "When you want to take a long position in a stock, you want to see the green line pointing up between 2:00 o'clock and 12:00 o'clock on an imaginary clock face. The higher the angle of the Green Line, the stronger the buying trend [sic]."
S for separation: "When you want to take a long position in a stock, you want to see the red line pointing up between 3:00 o'clock and 12:00 o'clock on an imaginary clock face [sic]."
T for timing: Wizetrade suggests guidelines for whether you're a long- or short-term trader.
The concept was so easy that GlobalTec subsequently sold similar software for the foreign exchange (forex), commodities and options markets.
Understanding the genesis of the forex software is a bit tricky, since it involves the same product sold over and over again under a variety of names. It's almost as tricky as understanding the forex market itself, an especially risky arena where you buy and sell different currencies: yen for euros, dollars for drachmas.
GlobalTec's interest in forex came through a young Wizetrade pitchman, James Dicks of Altamonte Springs, Florida.
Before meeting Sparks and Thompson, Dicks sold a forex system called Trade Signal Pro. His partners were two guys who had previously been accused by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission of defrauding 175 investors out of $760,000. They had purchased a previous incarnation of Trade Signal Pro, called Currency Trading Systems.
One pitchman, Michael Stewart of Arizona, told audiences that he made mad money with Currency Trading Systems when, according to his settlement with the CFTC, he lost $10,500 in the one year he actually used it. His co-defendants lost a combined $54,000 using the system. Stewart did not admit or deny any wrongdoing.
Dicks told Sparks and Thompson about Trade Signal Pro, and they added a similar product called 4X Made Easy. Dicks, Stewart and GlobalTec were sued by disgruntled 4XME buyers in a Denver court in 2004.
Dicks' deposition in that case is a fascinating glimpse into the world of hucksterism.
Before he met Sparks and Thompson, Dicks says in the deposition, he was wasting away in "hypothetical" make-work jobs for his uncle as well as an Orlando company called Dynetech, which later bought GlobalTec. In the promotional material from archived Web sites for one of his previous companies, Dicks was described as having been a licensed professional financial adviser since 1991 whose "last project for a client grossed over 30 million dollars of new revenue." In truth, Dicks didn't get involved in finance until the mid-1990s, and records at the National Association of Securities Dealers do not indicate he was ever a licensed broker-dealer or financial adviser. His previous jobs included working at a company that sold clothes made by Oregon prisoners to retailers in Germany and failing as an affordable-housing developer.
Dicks' interest in finance never matched his business acumen, as he had neither formal education nor raw talent. He dropped out of a Florida community college after two years (his spokesman says Dicks suffered from "a form of dyslexia," adding that Bill Gates never graduated from college either) and was dogged by liens and lawsuits throughout the 1990s. In one instance, he registered a Web domain called "Bank of America Forex," which drew the ire of the real Bank of America.
In all fairness, Dicks never had good role models, starting with his uncle, a onetime business partner of a moneymaking guru named Charles Givens, according to media reports. Dicks' first foray into finance came when he set up workshops for Givens. Givens wrote investment books with titles such as Wealth Without Risk and roamed the country selling suckers his get-rich secrets. In 1996, a civil jury found Givens guilty of defrauding 29,000 California investors, ordering him to repay $14.1 million. Regulators in five other states had previously challenged Givens' business practices. The year before the California case, the state of Florida filed a $1.6 million lien against Givens for failure to pay sales taxes. Givens ultimately filed for bankruptcy, although he kept his Florida palace until his death from cancer in 1998. He shrewdly transferred most of his assets to limited partnerships, making it extremely difficult for his creditors to collect the thousands they'd lost investing in his schemes.
That was Dicks' introduction into the world of finance. So it may not have struck him as odd when, according to his deposition, Sparks and Thompson arbitrarily made him the "founder" of 4XME. Hell, Dicks didn't even know how to use the software. In his deposition, he says he lost money on the damn thing. But he had fresh-scrubbed Waspy good looks, and he gave good seminar.
But when the lawsuit hit, Dicks quit GlobalTec and went back to his uncle. There was now a hole in 4XME where Dicks used to be. Who better to fill it than a guy who worked at two disgraced brokerages and at a firm busted for selling fake life-insurance policies on AIDS patients? Enter Blake Morrow, the new "president" of 4XME. GlobalTec's Web site makes no mention of Dicks; it's only Morrow's smiling mug on the site and in the infomercials. (Morrow was never accused of taking part in the policy scam or the behavior that brought down the firms.)
Here's the kicker: GlobalTec is the rare company whose product lines openly diss each other. In his book, Don't Play in the Street...Unless You Know Which Direction Your Stock is Traveling, Thompson touts stocks above all else, saying "stocks have outperformed any other form of investment mechanism over the long term."
Infomercials for 4XME, however, describe the stock market as a baffling labyrinth that won't get you anywhere.
"No Wall Street nonsense!" the infomercial blares. With 4XME, you focus on six currencies as opposed to 40,000 stocks.
So which is it? Stocks or forex? What does GlobalTec care, since it's getting your money either way?
In 2004, GlobalTec was bought by Dynetech, an Orlando-based company that also owns get-rich-quick real-estate and cash-flow systems.
All Press inquiries were referred to Dynetech spokeswoman Dori Madison, which is a shame for Dynetech, because Madison seems to know little about GlobalTec.
When asked about the credentials of some of the company's national instructors, who work under something called the GlobalTec Training Institute, she said she had never heard of the institute. When asked specifically about the credentials of instructor and GlobalTec radio host Karl Haas, who is prominently featured on the GlobalTec Web site, Madison said, "I don't even know who these people are, honestly. You've got your work cut out for you, I think. I don't know how you're making all these connections to Wizetrade, because they're not in the history of this company."
Madison later cleared up her confusion, saying that Haas did indeed work for the company and, yes, his credentials were misstated. But she wasn't too concerned; she asked how instructors' credentials were "relevant to the product."
"I think that it's a mistake, and we're tracking it down. The thing is, we have a business to run," she said.
Since the Wizetrade infomercials and Thompson's book proudly claim Thompson built and managed a Dallas trading firm before founding GlobalTec, the Press asked for the name of the enigmatic firm. We may as well have been asking the location of the Ark of the Covenant.
"Let me see if I can hunt down George's big bio, because I don't have one that's that deep," Madison said. She got back to the Press about a week later and said that his firm was called Wave on Wall Street, although she was unsure whether it was an actual firm or a piece of software. (A few weeks later, Madison told us that it was a piece of software.)
In GlobalTec's application with the Dallas Better Business Bureau, Thompson identified himself as the president of All Tech Investment Group. A month after the Press asked for the name of Thompson's previous firm, Madison confirmed that it was indeed All Tech, the Houston branch of a nationwide day-trading firm.
In an e-mail, Madison stated that Thompson "was a founding investor in the firm and was never engaged in the brokerage side of the business." She did not clarify in which "side of the business" he engaged.
She also could not tell us how much money Thompson--or Blake Morrow--made using GlobalTec software.
"You cannot possibly expect us to answer this personal question," she wrote. "We respect Mr. Thompson's right to privacy." Apparently, that right to privacy does not preclude infomercials showing Thompson flaunting his Ferrari and speedboat.
Madison quickly tired of questions about GlobalTec's own claims and at one point told us, "I'll answer questions that I can answer today, and then you guys go run around and conjure up what you want."
Shortly after contacting Madison, the Press received a baffling warning from Dynetech's in-house counsel, Stephen Rosin, demanding, among other things, to read this story before publication.
Since Madison couldn't answer our questions--or put us in touch with any happy and successful GlobalTec customers--the Press tried reaching the instructors and happy customers directly. None of the instructors returned our calls, and the closest we got to the people featured in the testimonials was a woman in Carmel, California, named Amber Archangel. In her testimonial, Archangel says, "Without Wizetrade, I wouldn't have a clue how to make a profitable trade."
Archangel did not want to say how much money she made off Wizetrade. She didn't want to say anything at all, explaining that she wanted to check with GlobalTec before commenting. We never heard back.
These calls prompted another warning from Dynetech/GlobalTec, this time from an outside firm.
The final warning, from Rosin, came in early January. Rosin accused the Press of "spreading information about a nonexistent lawsuit involving Mr. George Thompson." However, both Dynetech and GlobalTec (the company Thompson created) are defendants in a Colorado suit.
"It has become clear to our client that you are intent, not on researching and writing an unbiased and objective story based on the facts, but rather on mischaracterizing, misrepresenting and misattributing the facts for the purpose of writing a biased and unrepresentative story," Rosin wrote.
"These guys remind me of carnival barkers in the midway," financial columnist Malcolm Berko says from his Boca Raton home. "It's just as easy to sucker someone in a seminar. These guys have no more conscience than a fox in a poultry farm."
Berko has been in the securities business since 1957. Through his syndicated column, "Taking Stock," Berko has fielded questions about GlobalTec products. He says that Wizetrade "has stuff in it that makes sense" but adds this: "However, in order to profit from it, the person that has the program must be extraordinarily perceptive, must have a laser-like focus, and must have a great understanding of what he or she is doing. Because none of these programs are going to make you money unless you are exceptional at what you do."
He describes GlobalTec's pitchmen as robber barons preying on people's naïveté. "There's only one way to make money in the stock market," he says. "[Y]ou just buy good stocks, you hold on to them for a long time, and when they go up, you sell them. It's as simple as that. I know that's an oversimplification, but there are so many good stocks around."
So what's a good stock?
We asked Paul Larson of Morningstar, an investment research and analysis firm. Larson edits the company's StockInvestor site and is the author of a series of stock investment books. "We look for companies that have sustainable competitive advantages, and then we try to buy those when they get cheap or when they trade at discount to their fair value," he says from his office in Chicago. "And there's a lot of work that goes into that. I'm not sure if I have a whole lot of confidence in black-box investing."
He says software like Wizetrade shows only "market trading patterns, and the market tells you absolutely nothing about the underlying health of the company, how much cash flow the company is generating, etc. We think the way to go about investing is to be an investor, not a gambler."
Larson continues: "I think an important part of investing is to keep the potential return that you can earn in mind...we're expecting stocks, over the long run, to return somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 to 12 percent...over many decades, that's been the historical return. So whenever you see someone that's going to promise you that you're going to double your money in the next year, for instance, that's something you should really be wary of."
Of course, there is no shortage of theories when it comes to investment.
Dimensional Fund Advisors in Santa Monica uses the efficient market theory to manage its $86 billion in assets. It's kind of an anti-theory that states there is no strategy that can consistently outperform the market. The market is "perfect"--all the information is right there in black and white, and the only way to get ahead of everyone else is via insider trading.
So it's no surprise that Dimensional VP Weston Wellington is skeptical of software like Wizetrade. Wellington wasn't familiar with Wizetrade by name but has encountered similar trend-following software in his 30 years in the industry. "Analyzing price patterns in stocks has consumed the careers of many people over decades," he says from Santa Monica. "It just doesn't sound plausible that all the people studying all these patterns could have been looking in the wrong direction until this guy comes along."
Wellington points out efficient market theory's "anomaly" clause--an investment secret can only stay secret for so long. "Let's suppose for the sake of argument...that they have stumbled across some great trading rule," he says. "How long is it going to be a secret? Suppose it is the case that if price patterns do X, then you're almost certainly to see Y. Well, if that becomes common knowledge, people are going to start to trade upon that information ahead of time."
He adds, "It's probably going to have a hard time passing a smell test of statistical significance. But it'll never stop people from trying. There's always going to be some pattern you can find that worked perfectly in the past."
And because people won't stop trying, the CFTC issued a software fraud alert for its domain, forex.
The commission urges investors to avoid doing business with people who won't give information about their background and to stay away from companies that predict or promise big profits.
"The currency futures and options markets are volatile and contain substantial risks for unsophisticated customers," the commission warns. "The currency futures and options markets are not the place to put any funds that you cannot afford to lose. For example, retirement funds should not be used for currency trading. You can lose most or all of those funds very quickly trading foreign currency futures or options contracts."
Forex's highly leveraged transactions "increase your possibility of profit but also increase your possibility of loss exponentially," says Paul Hayeck, the commission's associate director of enforcement. "You can get wiped out in a hurry."
"When you see contracts that are that one-sided and that unconscionable, for me, as a consumer lawyer, that raises red flags about the transaction," Eric Coakley says from his Denver office.
Coakley is looking for class certification in a suit filed against GlobalTec on behalf of frustrated 4X Made Easy buyers. He's talking about GlobalTec's refund and complaint policies. Dicks declined to comment on the suit. GlobalTec/Dynetech spokeswoman Dori Madison, however, says the plaintiffs sued because "They really wanted to work for the company, is what it came down to. Because they loved the product...They really wanted to work with the company, and there just wasn't a spot for them."
Coakley says his clients, wowed by the free demonstration of the software, took it home only to find out the thing was impossible to understand without instructions. "They don't know how to use it; they haven't received the instructions," he says. "So they can turn it on, they can see the red and green lights and all the pretty arrows and everything, but they don't know--they can't interpret it."
According to a 2003 4XME "terms and conditions" purchase agreement, refund rights are forfeited at the end of a one-day training program, on the 15th day from the date of purchase or when the purchaser gets the "4XME DVD Training Series" (the instructions)--whichever comes first.
In an e-mail, Madison stated that the refund policy was inaccurately described and "meets or exceeds the requirements of applicable state and federal laws."
Moreover, the agreement states that customers waive their right to trial by jury and that all disputes must be resolved by arbitration in Orange County, Florida. The arbitration must be conducted by three attorneys with more than 10 years' experience each, unless one of them was previously a judge.
"Would you go in to buy a car...under those conditions, that you had to travel to some distant state and pay $1,200 an hour for a panel of the three guys...to decide whether you got a lemon or not?" Coakley asks.
Dicks is no longer with GlobalTec; Madison said she didn't know why.

Coakley says he doesn't see how people can make money from 4XME. But you could take 4XME "president" Blake Morrow's word that they can. Or you could buy George Thompson's book and get rich off stocks.
The book claims to expose "the truth behind Wall Street scandals, the hidden alliances of corporations and brokerage firms...and how your broker really makes money and what he doesn't want you to know."
What Thompson says makes perfect sense.
Caveat emptor.

Summary and Keywords
Military assistance programs have been crucial instruments of American foreign policy since World War II, valued by policymakers for combating internal subversion in the "free world," deterring aggression, and protecting overseas interests. The 1958 Draper Committee, consisting of eight members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, concluded that economic and military assistance were interchangeable; as the committee put it, without internal security and the "feeling of confidence engendered by adequate military forces, there is little hope for economic progress." Less explicitly, military assistance was also designed to uphold the U.S. global system of military bases established after World War II, ensure access to raw materials, and help recruit intelligence assets while keeping a light American footprint. Police and military aid was often invited and welcomed by government elites in so-called free world nations for enhancing domestic security or enabling the swift repression of political opponents. It sometimes coincided with an influx of economic aid, as under the Marshall Plan and Alliance for Progress. In cases like Vietnam, the programs contributed to stark human rights abuses owing to political circumstances and prioritizing national security over civil liberties.
Keywords: violence, weapons, human rights, advisers, repression, deterrence, war, military aid, secrecy, power

India's bureaucracy has repeatedly been named the worst in Asia. In fact the term bureaucracy is often used synonymously with corruption in India, while it other parts of the world it refers more to red tape.
So it's fascinating and wonderful to see a magazine focused entirely on bureaucracy with the fantastically blunt title "bureaucracy today."
Bureaucracy Today was launched in March 2009 by Suhaib A Ilyasi, who famously launched a television show called India's Most Wanted in 1999. The magazine claims to have a readership of over 600,000. Its website also declares that its readers are responsible for over 70% of India's GDP. The magazine costs Rs. 50 (about $0.93).
So, we decided to get a copy of the publication and look through it to see what's inside. The magazine was nearly impossible to find in Mumbai, the nation's financial capital. Every news vendor and book store I visited stared back at me quizzically. A friend tracked down a copy in Delhi, home to India's political capital, New Delhi, and brought it with her to Mumbai.
I expected the magazine to have at least one investigative piece, considering its subhead reads "fearless journalism, our habit, our history!" That isn't however what I found inside. Instead it's a very straightforward take on the latest things happening in Bureaucracy.
An Indian Express article published almost a year after Bureaucracy Today's launch dubbed it and other magazines centered on bureaucracy "feelgood journalism for the babu." When used in the pejorative 'babu' refers to a corrupt bureaucrat.

SAN DIEGO (AP) Ken Rancifer had 27 points, making 10 of 12 field-goal attempts, and San Diego defeated Arizona Christian 88-65 Tuesday night.
Mike Davis added 15 points and Johnny Dee scored 11 for the Toreros (6-5), who took the lead for good with a 12-0 run early in the first half and won their third in a row. Ten players had field goals for San Diego, which shot 60 percent from the field against the NAIA school. Chris Anderson had eight assists.
Mason Jones led Arizona Christian with 20 points. Jordan Block scored 14 for the Firestorm, which counted this game as an exhibition. The visitors made 11 of 24 3-point attempts, with Jones going 4 for 7 from behind the arc.

The Services
|This clause explains the types of services that we provide on our websites.
TES Global currently provides users with access to various online services and resources including forums, recruitment services, magazine and other subscriptions, marketplace and specialist content through its network of Websites (the "Services"). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features of the Services will be subject to these Terms and Conditions.

You agree to be bound by the licensing arrangements relating to such materials and not to use any of the Services in a manner that breaches any such licences. Please see our Additional Terms for more information.
Eligibility and supervising children
This clause explains the registration process that applies to some parts of our services. It also explains your obligations when you allow children to access our services and when you are acting on behalf of certain institutions.
Certain aspects of the Services may require you to register and provide information about yourself. You agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the relevant registration form (such information being the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data (by using the appropriate forms on our Websites or emailing us at email@example.com) to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. We may terminate your account and any or all rights to the Websites, Services or licences granted if any information you provide is inaccurate, false, or incomplete.
TES Global is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. For this reason, parents or teachers who wish to allow their children or pupils access to the Services should assist them in setting up any relevant accounts and supervise their access to the Services. By allowing your child access to the Services, he/she may be able to access various services including forums. As you will see below, TES Global generally does not pre-screen content posted to these pages of the Website and, as the legal guardian, it is therefore your responsibility to determine whether any of the Services and/or content are appropriate for your child or pupil.
If you use any Services on behalf of an Institution or a company, you hereby represent, warrant and undertake that:
- you have all necessary power and authority to enter into and perform your and its obligations under these Terms and Conditions;
- you have taken all requisite corporate and other action to approve the entering into and performance of these Terms and Conditions and shall provide evidence of that action to TES Global on request; and
- once agreed and accepted, these Terms and Conditions will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of and on such Institution or company.

Member accounts, passwords and security
This clause explains how we endeavour to protect your personal information as well as your responsibility to look after your account password and for activities that occur under your password and account.
The Internet is not a secure medium. However, TES Global will endeavour to protect all personal information collected through the Website in accordance with appropriate data protection standards.
The registration processes on the Websites may involve you giving a password and account designation.

Due to the global nature of the Internet, users from all over the world may have access to the Websites. If you are resident in a country outside of the UK you use the Websites at your own risk.
Rights in posted content and your licence(s) to use such content
This clause (in addition to the "Your Conduct" clause above) explains your rights and obligations in relation to the content that you upload to our Websites and the terms of the license that you grant us, and/or our users regarding that content to enable us and/or our users to use it.
This section contains some information for users who have downloaded content from our websites on a previous occasion, or who have downloaded content which is yet to have a Creative Commons licence granted over it by the author.
This section also ensures that your collation and/or reorganisation of other parties' content does not give rise to intellectual property rights that could encumber other users' ability to use such content in a similar manner as you may have done. Accordingly, we require that you waive your rights to and give us ownership of any such intellectual property rights that arise so that we can take appropriate steps to ensure other users benefit from them and/or are not unduly constrained by them.
Licences to User-Uploaded Content uploaded by you
A number of our Websites allow you to share User-Uploaded Content with other users.
When you upload User-Uploaded Content to our Websites, you will (assuming you are the owner of the User-Uploaded Content) retain all intellectual property rights that you own in that User-Uploaded Content. You are able to modify or remove your User-Uploaded Content as you wish.
To enable us to provide the Services and host your User-Uploaded Content we require a licence to use the User-Uploaded Content that you upload, or otherwise contribute, to our Websites. The terms of the licence we require depends on the type of content uploaded, which we treat as falling within two categories as follows: (a) User-Uploaded Content uploaded as distinct files, largely for the purpose of sharing teaching resources; and (b) all other content, chiefly comments and forum posts.
- Regarding content that falls within category (a): please see the TES Resources Additional Terms for details on the licence you grant us.
- Regarding content that falls within category (b): You grant us and each of our Affiliates a non-exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable (save as set out below) licence to use, reproduce, publish, create derivative works from, distribute and display such User-Uploaded Content (in whole or part) and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology. In the event that you remove your User-Uploaded Content from our Websites, from the date of such removal, the licence(s) granted to us above will be deemed to have terminated. You warrant that you have the right to upload the User-Uploaded Content and grant the rights set out in the licences above.
Your use of other parties' User-Uploaded Content
Certain parts of our services enable you to collate, remix, list, organise, arrange systematically, catalogue or otherwise use other parties' User-Uploaded Content within our Websites. You agree that your use of the services in such manner does not entitle you to any intellectual property rights in or in connection with other parties' User-Uploaded Content that you so use. To the extent that any intellectual property rights (including any database or other similar right and any moral rights thereto) exist or arise as a result of your use of other parties' User-Uploaded Content in such manner ("Arising Database IP"), you agree (i) that ownership of such Arising Database IP shall automatically vest in TES Global, and that you waive all right, title and interest that you may obtain or have obtained in or to such Arising Database IP; and (ii) if you are required to do so by TES Global, that you shall do all things reasonably necessary to confirm TES Global's ownership of such Arising Database IP.

National provider identifier (NPI)
BWC encourages providers to incorporate their National Provider Identifier (NPI) into the BWC billing process and accepts bills from providers that have registered their NPI with BWC. However, we do not view NPI as a replacement for the BWC provider numbers already assigned.
We will accept bills containing:
- BWC legacy (current) numbers
- BWC registered NPI number
Registering NPI with BWC
Providers wishing to use their NPI in their workers' compensation billing and forms must provide and verify their information with BWC's provider relations department. Providers should submit copies of their NPI confirmation from the enumerator (Fox Systems Inc.) along with their corresponding BWC provider number to the fax number or address below.
Fax to: BWC Provider Enrollment (614) 621-1333
Mail to:
Ohio BWC Provider Enrollment
P.O. Box 15249
Columbus, OH 43215-0249
Allow up to six weeks for the NPI to be registered at BWC. Please contact BWC's provider contact center at 1-800-644-6292 to verify your NPI is registered prior to using it for billing purposes. Once this process is complete, a provider may bill using either his or her BWC provider number or the registered NPI (and taxonomy code).
Additional information
Any provider still needing to obtain an NPI may do so at the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System website.

Strumble Head, near Fishguard Harbour, resembles the quiff on the forehead of the facelike outline of the Pencaer Peninsula, which looks out west over the Irish Sea.
It is a familiar landmark for passengers on the twice-daily crossing of the Stena ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare, and the lighthouse on Ynys Meicel (Michael's Island) just a few yards off the headland, is an important aid to mariners.
The lighthouse, built by Trinity House at a cost of £40,000 in 1908, when Fishguard became a port of call for trans-Atlantic liners with the arrival of the Paddington - Fishguard railway, was provided with a footbridge for the keepers who had the best of both worlds. They enjoyed both rock and shore status, but now, of course, modern technology has caught up with the lighthouse and it is operated remotely.
A few miles to the east at Penanglas Point is a less peaceful aid to the shipping using the port, a fog-horn whose mournful bellow haunts the seamists which often veil the coast.
Between the headland and Penanglas, walkers on the National Park Coastal Footpath will see a small standing stone which marks the spot where the last invasion of Britain by foreign troops took place in February 1797. Overlooking their landing point at Carreg Wastad, the stone bears a plaque commemorating this unusual event when an undisciplined rabble of French mercenaries, many of them jailbirds released for the occasion, came ashore, pillaging among the isolated farms and cottages on the peninsula. Many of them were so drunk that they were easy prey for the local Militia under Lord Cawdor of Stackpole, to whom they soon surrendered on Goodwick Sands, where another plaque marks the spot. One drunken invader fired a hole in the woodwork of a long case clock at Bristgarn Farm, believing someone was hiding inside, and this memento survives to this day, the same family's descendants occupying the farm.
Not far from the lighthouse is a once derelict Ministry of Defence shed which in recent years has been converted into a shelter for naturalists, from which a splendid view of the sea can be seen. It is an ideal viewing point for passing migrants, both avian and marine, for birds of all kinds pass over Strumble Head on their north-south migrations, while dolphins and porpoises are regularly seen, and counted there. Among the rocky islets and coves beneath, seals are an attraction. particularly in autumn when their fluffy white pups are being weaned ready for their life at sea.
There is also a Coastguard lookout close by. A few miles off Strumble Head in June 1941 a tragic incident occurred when the ferry vessel St Patrick was bombed by a German aircraft as it crossed to Rosslare. Nineteen of her crew and 12 passengers died in the tragedy, including the Master, Captain Jim Faraday and his 19-years-old son Jack, a Merchant Navy Officer Cadet, who had accompanied his father for experience.

Worth the wait: CD excitement contagious
Two weeks ago, Jay Pun and Morwenna Lasko celebrated the completion of their debut album at the Gravity Lounge. Paul Curreri and Devon Sproule locked down the opening slot for one of the most anticipated local acoustic events of the year.
My late arrival cost me a good seat plus the privilege of seeing this acclaimed opening act, according to the few folks I polled hanging outside. (Alas, I have a tardiness condition.)
I wasn't shocked that Curreri and Sproule put on a good show. However, I was a bit shocked at the number of people who had packed themselves into Gravity Lounge. There was barely room for a line to the bar. I was forced to stand next to an extremely unpleasant someone who made casual conversation that was less enjoyable than being tortured with paper cuts on the tongue.
Jay Pun and Morwenna Lasko began the first notes of their set without introduction. I have to say that I'm tightly obsessed with the way Lasko plays a violin. She displays incredible attitude– as if the instrument owes her something, and she has come to collect payment in full every time she strikes a note.
Pun, on the other hand, just seems to conjure music from his guitar with little to no effort. The two of them lock into a rhythm that reveals the life in every song.
I can't forget to mention Ken Woodard on upright bass. He played almost flawlessly. He fits in the pocket so well that it's easy to forget there's a third instrument on stage. Johnny Gilmore joined in on drums for a portion of the set. He was nothing short of amazing, as usual.
Pun and Lasko put on a terrific performance at their CD release party, but they had no CDs to release because the disks did not arrive from the manufacturer in time. About a week later, Jay came through with a finished copy of the album, all nice and packaged with a barcode that says, "Look! This is official."
I remember the feeling when I had my first disk pressed up. Jay bubbled with the same excitement. If your music is your child, you nurture it through practice, exercise it through gigging, and understand it by listening to it. After that child grows into something mature, you're ready to put it on a CD and give it to the world. Jay gave his child to me with a smile that said he was a proud father.
In retrospect, I should have asked him what the title, Etopia, means. Maybe it's one of those inside things. Regardless, the disk is a great representation of the live Jay and Morwenna plus a few studio magic tricks.
The songs are polished up with layers and overdubs that probe the depth of the songwriting. Tracks like "1andA" and "JALD" hit the spot perfectly. The standout track on the record is "Etopia" featuring Corey Harris– not just because Harris sings a bit on the tune, but because it's the only song with an island feel, thus changing the swing of the record.
I would have been completely satisfied if Etopia were a completely instrumental album with no vocals. The music here says so much more than words can say, and I believe the two times words are sung don't add much– and even subtract.
That's a small price to pay to get to listen to tracks like "Bouncing Water" and "The Wen." Hats off to Pun, Lasko, and everyone involved in the project for making a long-awaited debut well worth the wait.

STARmeterTop 5000
Up 157 this week
Sigourney Weaver was born Susan Alexandra Weaver in Leroy Hospital in Manhattan, New York City. Her father, TV producer Sylvester L.

I've got a quick little DIY for you today in the form of some Valentines name cards! I thought they could be fun if you were having a Valentines Day themed dinner party, a kids party, or just wanted something cute to leave on our loved one's pillow. I hope you like them!
Medium weight cardboard
Modeling clay (oven bake)
Step 1: Firstly, you'll need to make your arrows.. using this template (if you like) cut some arrows out of your cardboard. Depending on the thickness of your cardboard, you may need to glue two arrows together to make it stronger.
Step 2: Paint/decorate your arrows. I wrote names on mine because they'll be placed on a table, but you could write whatever you like!
Step 3: Put your arrows aside to dry. Take a ball of modeling clay and shape it into a heart, keeping the base of it flat on the table. I made mine a bit beveled, but you could also push shapes into it, etch a pattern into it.. anything really!
Step 4: Once you've finished, and just before baking, push the tip of one of your arrows into the clay so it's sticking out at the angle you'd like it. Take the arrow out and bake your clay according to the instructions.
Step 5: Wait for the clay to cool, push your arrow into the groove you made in the heart, and you're done! Bravo!
Note: You may notice that I've actually painted my gold heart. I did this after baking the clay (I didn't like the colour of the clay much), but I quickly found out that the paint scratches off quite easily. Therefore, I would recommend choosing the right clay colour from the start.. instead of trying to paint it later :)

Interviewer: What will the team that drafts you be getting?
Channing Frye: I'm going to give them a professional. I'm going to do whatever I need to do to help my team win, whether it's dive on the ground, score baskets, block shots, rebounds. Pretty much I'm unmerciful, I've pretty much played basketball my whole life and I think I know what I'm doing out there. I'm a versatile big man, but at the same time I try to stay humble. I respect the game, I respect the veterans and I try to play the game the right way.
Interviewer: Talk about your versatility.
Channing Frye: With my versatility, I think I'm able to run the court, I'm able to bang with some of the best of them. I have a strong work ethic. I really try to stay humble and hungry.
Interviewer: Are you ready to play right away in your mind?
Channing Frye: I really do. I think I have some things to learn. I need to catch up on some aspects of the NBA game, but other than that I think if I stay healthy, keep working hard and stay in the gym like I have been, I think I'll be all right.
Interviewer: Have you gotten any advice at all from your Arizona Wildcats teammates who've recently been through the same process?
Channing Frye: They said the only thing worse than not being in the NBA is being an NBA rookie, so they're really supportive of me, of how far I've come along. So they're just excited for me, which is awesome. They've both been in the league for a couple of years, and I'm kind of like the little brother of that group, you know, so it's good to see them out here supporting me in return.
On why Arizona players seem ready to play in the NBA upon arrival...
I think it's because Coach [Olsen] has a professional system down there at U of A. He treats us like men, he gives us opportunities to become better on our own. I think the way he sets up his program is that he constantly has good players behind you and in front of you so that you're constantly challenged every day in practice. And I think if you want to play, if you want to start, you've got to work on your game a lot more than maybe the next person. Having that type of caliber [player], you're always competing, always trying to get higher up on the ladder. It's always for the good of the team to come there and play, it's like a collective five in the coaching. You learn everybody's position and how to really play the game.
Danny Granger
Interviewer: With all your recent workouts, your stock has been on the rise. Can you explain what it's been like for you the last couple of weeks?
Danny Granger: It's been interesting. As you say, my stock has risen and that's pretty intense. It's one of those things where, it's really winding down. The Draft is tomorrow...
Interviewer: What can you bring to a team? Why should someone draft you?
Danny Granger: I think I can bring a lot to a team with versatility. I'm good at a lot of things. There are ways I can affect the court, with my defense, my ballhandling, my shooting.
On where he'll get drafted...
There's so much talk about trades -- speculation about who's going to trade up, who's going to trade down -- I don't think nobody knows where I'm going to go. Except where Marvin (Williams) and Andrew (Bogut) are going to go, other than that, you don't know.
DraftExpress: Danny, with all the changes to the NBA lately, have you thought about the fact that you might have to play in the NBDL a little bit to get experience?
Danny Granger: I'm aware of that. It's not my first choice, but, yeah, I'm aware of it.
DraftExpress: Are you ready for your life to change being a full-time basketball player?
Danny Granger: Definitely. I mean, it'll change a little bit. My whole life I've been a full-time basketball player, especially in college. I think now we just won't have to go to school.
DraftExpress: Are you going to miss school?
Danny Granger: I will miss it. I love New Mexico, my time in New Mexico. It was a great place to play basketball. So I think that'll be the only difference now...now, you've got to understand the NBA, you know, it's a business.
DraftExpress: What are some of the workouts you did?
Danny Granger: I've done a lot.
DraftExpress: Any one that stand out in your mind?
Danny Granger: Once you get into these workouts, they kind of get routine. You go from one to the next, you go to your hotel room, you don't know which hotel room you're in because you were just in another city before. So they get really routine. I can't really recall.
DraftExpress: How was your workout in Toronto?
Danny Granger: It was great. I had a really good workout in Toronto. I liked the city, liked the coaching staff. It was a good workout.
Marvin Williams
Interviewer: You've been asked this question a lot, but do you care where you get drafted?
Marvin Williams: (Number) one or two, no. I don't care about that. But what position or what team it's going to be, definitely. I feel like in the end that's more important than whether you're going one or two.
Interviewer: What are your thoughts on the impending age limit? Do you think it makes a difference?
Marvin Williams: Oh, no. I don't think 19 is much different than 18, that's my personal opinion. One year of college, you know, for a lot of guys, it helped me tremendously, so one year of college can help.
Interviewer: Everybody's got you either the first or second pick, can you talk about the honor that makes you feel?
Marvin Williams: It'll definitely be an honor. It'll be nice. But I'm more concerned about fitting in with the team that picks me.
Interviewer: The Hawks haven't had a pick this high in 20 years and haven't made the playoffs since 1999. Did they convey to you when you were there for a workout that you'll have all eyes on you?
Marvin Williams: I think so. I knew that they hadn't made it to the playoffs the past few years, and that's something they're going to try and get back to. It's a big pick for them, and Milwaukee has a big pick, too.
On whether Bogut will be the top pick...
I'm not really sure. It does seem like Milwaukee is heading towards Bogut a little bit, but I don't blame them. Andrew is a great player, he'd be good for Milwaukee, so that would definitely be a good fit for him.
DraftExpress: Are you prepared for the chance you could drop out of the top two?
Marvin Williams: Yeah, oh yeah. I would never sit there and say I would only be one or two and that's that. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I went lower.
DraftExpress: Are you ready for the lifestyle change that comes with being a pro basketball player? No more hanging out in the dorm.
Marvin Williams: A little different, yeah. There'll be no more school, though, so that's not too bad. No more finals (laughs). It won't be too bad. I'll have fun, definitely.
DraftExpress: (pointing to GIANT diamond in his ear) Is that earring new?
Marvin Williams: Yeah, brand new.
Raymond Felton
Interviewer: How difficult is it for a young point guard to come in and make an impact in the NBA?
Raymond Felton: I'm not saying it's difficult, it's difficult for anybody to try and come in and make an impact, but that's what you have to do.
Interviewer: Could you have made this jump to the NBA coming out of high school?
Raymond Felton: Could I have made this jump? I mean, I might have could have made it talent-wise, I was talented enough. Physically and mentally, no, I couldn't. I wasn't ready for it.
Interviewer: Are you part of a generation that stayed in school and succeeded in getting drafted?
Raymond Felton: I think so. It got to the point where so many guys were coming out of high school and getting drafted that great players in college were getting looked over. There's not but so many spots, everybody's not going to be picked. So it makes it tough. There's a lot of talent, there's going to be guys that get picked in the second round who just as well could have gotten picked in the first.
Interviewer: Do you think the changes to the labor agreement are going to help college basketball?
Raymond Felton: Definitely. It's definitely going to help college. College basketball is going to be that much more talented, that much more exciting. It's going to be more talented, there's going to be a lot of kids that's going to be able to go to college.
Interviewer: What do you think the Bobcats are going to do?
Raymond Felton: I don't know. They're very interested in me, they're interested in all the point guards. It's just a decision on who they take.
On the time leading up to the draft...
Oh, man. Just chill, but sometimes I just sit and daze off. Am I really going to wake up one day? Is this really true? Is this really happening? Coming from a small town, I always dreamed about this, but I never really in my mind -- I never doubted it in my mind it would happen -- but at the same time, I never thought it really would happen. The place where I come from is a small place. Dreams come true, you know. If you work hard enough, you can accomplish whatever you want to accomplish.
DraftExpress: What do you think your chances are of going in the top 5?
Raymond Felton: I mean, it's a 50/50, 75/25 good chance. It's a great chance.
DraftExpress: With the proposed changes to the NBA, there stands a possibility that some young guys may have to spend some time in the NBDL. How would you feel if you were asked to play there for a time?
Raymond Felton: Man, my opinion on that is they need to go back to school if they've got to go to the NBDL league. I mean, not knocking the NBDL league, but at the same time, if I was in that situation, I'd just go back to school or go to college if I'm not in school. I wouldn't even go to the NBDL league, just try to shortcut into the NBA.
DraftExpress: If the team that drafts you asked you to spend some time in the NBDL to train, what would you say?
Raymond Felton: Spend some time in the NBDL league? Um, no, I wouldn't accept that. That's just the competitive person in me. I wouldn't accept that. I would just work hard just to prove to them that I wouldn't need to be down there.
Hakim Warrick
Interviewer: When did getting drafted stop being a dream and start becoming a reality?
Hakim Warrick: After we won the National Championship (in 2003), I started to think that if I work hard, I have a chance to get to the NBA. I just continued to work, get some buzz on my name, got a little bigger, just kept getting better than last couple of years. The next thing I know it, I'm here, invited to the Green Room.
Interviewer: Your name has been mentioned a lot in regards to the New Jersey Nets. What can you say about playing with Jason Kidd?
Hakim Warrick: I think it's great. I know that playing with him would make my game a lot easier. Playing with a great point guard like that, I'd love to do that. Just the thought of that brings a smile to me, to play with such a great player.
DraftExpress: Do you have the size to play power forward in the NBA?
Hakim Warrick: I think right now, I'm getting a lot bigger and if I continue to lift weights, I'm going to get bigger and could play the power forward, especially in an up tempo system.
DraftExpress: Hakim, you've been mentioned prominently with the Golden State Warriors. How do you feel you fit in with their style of play?
Hakim Warrick: I think I fit in great with their style of play. I think an up tempo system fits my game, my athleticism. It really suits me best.
DraftExpress: What about playing less zone in the pros, are you prepared for that given Syracuse's emphasis on zone?
Hakim Warrick: Yeah, that's going to be another adjustment for me coming in. We played a lot of zone, but it's something I think I can get used to.

AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Kyle Busch will start on the pole in the AdvoCare 500, while points leader Jimmie Johnson struggled in qualifying with a 24th-place finish on Friday at Phoenix International Raceway.
Busch, who was fastest in practice earlier in the day and therefore the last driver to make a qualifying run in the 44-car field, set a new track qualifying record at Phoenix with a lap at 138.766 mph. Carl Edwards held the previous record at this flat one-mile racetrack with a lap at 137.279 mph, which he set in Feb. 2011.
It's the second pole for Busch this season and the 10th of his Sprint Cup Series career. He also won the pole at Phoenix in April 2006.
Martin Truex Jr. held the provisional pole late in qualifying with a lap 138.217 mph. Busch topped Truex by 0.103 seconds.
Denny Hamlin, who won at Phoenix in February, qualified third, while Kasey Kahne, the defending race winner, took the fourth spot. Aric Almirola completed the top-five.
Kurt Busch, Paul Menard, Regan Smith, Tony Stewart and Mark Martin qualified sixth through 10th, respectively.
Johnson holds a seven-point lead over Brad Keselowski with just two races to go in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Johnson has won the last two Chase events -- Martinsville and Texas. He won the pole position and led the most laps in the previous two races as well.
Keselowski qualified 14th.
J.J. Yeley, a Phoenix-native, was the only driver who failed to qualify for Sunday's 312-lap race, which is scheduled to start just after 3 p.m. (ET).
