I think the supervision at this school is appalling! My granddaughter broke her arm just this past April on playground equipment. How? Lack of supervision. I was just informed that her younger brother, my kindergarten aged grandson just had his arm broken on the same playground, after a child fell on him. Now tell me, what was the other child doing to have fallen this hard on a younger child to have caused a fracture? It had to have been a hard fall or one that was with a great amount of force and impact. I'd suspect lack of supervision in this case as well. The school refused to pay for the medical bills for my granddaughter's injury, citing that my son and dau.-in-law had insurance. What a joke! Talk about irresponsibility! Now, the parents don't have insurance for my grandson, are in between insurance provider's coverage. Let's see what they offer this time! More than insurance, is the pain and suffering that these kids (went) and are going through all because they were not being fully supervised on that playground. Either take the playground equipment out, get more supervision, or hopefully face the legal wrath needed to countermand such irresponsibility! Concerned grandparent
My daughter went to this school last year and it was joke. The teacher was involved more than other but the ciriculumn was ridiculous. On her spelling test, she got it right if spelled the word how it sounded. She got extra credit if it was spelled correctly! That's not ok. Also, I have never been more scared putting my daughter on the school bus then I have when she was attending there. She came home one day in tears with a loose tooth because some kid knocked her head into the window. And I am currently seeking legal action. It is sad, because I went to this school as a kid and was proud to send my daughter to her first day at the same school I went to. It's nothing more than one big joke. PARENT'S BEWARE!!!
I have loved the education my students have received at East Midvale Elementary. They are a Title One school that works extremely hard to meet the needs of all students---those who are behind and those who need advanced work. There are many ways they strive to have parents involved. They encourage parents to use the school every Wednesday night. The library, computer lab and classrooms are open for students and parents to use the resources or get help. They also teach weekly parenting workshops. I am so glad my children attend such a GREAT school. Once you go to East Midvale you will not want to go anywhere else.
This school has improved so much over the last couple of years. I have seen first hand how much my son has improved socially with this school, and they help him excel academically. Each student works with computers daily, as well as the arts and physical activity. This school was just awarded the Partnership Award for excellence from John's Hopkins Univeristy. I am proud to say that this school has met the needs of my family. I highly suggest that you register your children at this school as they will certainly learn many new things and grow for their future!
The office staff is nice, but that is where it ends. The school work is below par, the school is lax and behind on helping students. There is no extra-curricular activites and very little parent involvement. I would definatly not suggest enrolling your student in this school.
I have had all 4 of my children in this school during the past 5 years at different times. My experience with this school has been that the teachers and other staff are wonderful, helpful and easy to work with. The class sizes are small, there is a boys & girls club on site for working parents, and the school population is very diverse. Overall it has been a good experience for me and my children at East Midvale.

The first of two storms is moving through the Inland Empire this morning. The showers are widespread and heavy in some areas which could cause some localized street flooding. In Glendora, a voluntary evacuation order has been issued for about a thousand residents living below the burn area. A second more powerful storm is set to move into the region late tonight and bring heavy rain. A flash flood watch has been posted for the Inland Empire valleys and mountains from Friday morning to Saturday afternoon.

My friends Meg Liffick and Joe Ball got married yesterday.
When it came time for the couple's traditional first dance, Joe read prepared remarks explaining that instead of dancing together, they wanted to open the dance floor to their gay and lesbian friends who are still legally denied the right to marry.
This was a large and very diverse wedding in a state that doesn't even recognize same-sex civil unions, let alone marriage. And yet the ovation that these people received while dancing to The Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice" was like nothing I've ever heard at any wedding. If there were dry eyes, I didn't see any.
Change is coming.

Lately I've seen people explaining this simply as "it's a more inclusive term" and leaving it at that. But there's a reason it's seen as more inclusive: the asterisk. And that asterisk makes an important change to the meaning.
An asterisk is a wildcard character in computing….
(Source: finally-free-from-it-all)
From May 26th, 2011: Free to Be You and Me AND Unbullied…… (Inspired by "Free to Be….Not Anymore")
***I would like to preface this with the fact that I am not perfect, and in no way do I expect others to be, I am constantly receiving education from life, work, etc when it comes to oppression, discrimination, and identities, I just feel very strongly about this particular topic and wanted to put it out there***
Recently I was speaking to someone who I would consider a colleague, a person who I have admired in certain ways and disagreed with in others. I saw that on the billboard for the organization they work for there was a group called "families" this group's membership was composed of young children and they discussed families and family structure. I asked them, do you talk about and include same sex couples in your family group, or anything about the LGBTQ community. They did not miss a beat and responded that no they didn't because that doesn't happen, it doesn't come up.
The next day we touched base because LGBTQ had come up, but not in the context of families. One of the children disclosed to my colleague that she (because that is how my colleague referred to this child) had been called a lesbian by someone who they thought was her friend. It was the first time this had happened to this child.The mother of the child came to speak my colleague and told them," she asked me what a lesbian was and I didn't know what to say".
**I am not saying that being a lesbian or LGBTQ is negative, but society and specifically institutions continue to frame being LGBTQ as negative. And because of that negative perception of LGBTQ that is in a way world wide, many children believe it is negative and therefore it hurts when someone who is supposed to be a friend, or even someone who is not a friend, just a classmate tells them that they are LGBTQ. Maybe the child does identify as LGBTQ, maybe not, but these negative connotation built around being LGBTQ probably doesn't make that feel any better.**
I asked my colleague how they addressed this situation and they said I told the mother that, "it's only going to get worse, and your daughter needs to know that", "maybe her friend was kidding", basically letting the mother know that her daughter just has to deal with it, and that in order for her daughter to get through it she shouldn't be comforted . In my very humble opinion that (and that's really all they responded to the parent) is not a sufficient, comforting, or educational response.
I told my colleague what I felt, and I pointed out the rate of suicides related to bullying, and my colleague responded; "Bullying is just a fad, I only heard about it recently, you know when I was growing up there was no such thing"…….I tried to reason with my colleague, and they told me, "if those people killed themselves because someone bullied them then there was something mentally wrong with them to begin with"……and again "bullying is just a fad created recently to take our attention away from more important things"…..apparently children committing suicide isn't important.
They also proceeded to wonder why if I am not working, am I talking about these issues…..I informed them that I don't leave my values at work after 6pm….My work is my life, my beliefs and determination strengthen my work, and I also let them know that if the staff at their organization would like trainings concerning the LGBTQ community, perhaps that could be arranged so they would be able to have a richer discussion with parents…
That is when I stopped, and my colleague continued rambling about the fad of bullying…..I had to hold myself back from becoming a bit regressed and cursing this person out….A few days later I sent them an email with the origins of the word bullying….just to demonstrate that bullying or at least that specific word used to refer to interpersonal oppression has been around for a very long time since 1693 actually….they haven't responded to that email, or any of my inquiries for that matter….
People like my colleague make the work that I do and so many other wonderful people do at the New York City Anti Violence Project even more important….to know that there is a child somewhere that is being bullied and nobody knows how to address or talk about in a way that provides support to that child is sad, but to be offered the chance to be educated in order to better services for everyone is in my opinion violence in and of itself….
I write this because it is important to me and I believe it is important to my community(ies) the LGBTQ community, the hispanic community, the white community, the mixed race community, the young community, the brown haired community, the chubby community, the tattooed community, the pierced community, the introverted community to talk about bullying. If you dont know how to, then to learn how to talk about bullying. By bullying I mean using someone's identity or perceived as a negative in order to oppress and in order to make that person feel ashamed of who they are or are percieved to be….
I write this because I feel we are all responsible for change, and we have a duty to create a safe and equal world for everyone, and it starts with just one person, ONE person standing up for someone else, educating themselves through life or workshops or friends concerning issues related to sexual orientation, race, gender identity, age, culture, etc. in order to have a rich conversation concerning identities and in order to teach those we interact with to respect one another and above all treat others the way you want to be treated.
This Note was inspired by C@'s sharing of the following article:


text: LEAPS AND BOUNDS This week in Design History class we were told to find a quote that we felt a connection to, and with that, create a piece that was both a combination of the Futurists and Dadaists style, or of the two schools De stijl and Bauhaus. I decided to take the direction of the Futurists and Dadaists. My quote is "the leaps and bursts of style running through the page." (Which I found in our text Meggs' History of Graphics Design text book, on pg.251) Quoted by Giovanni Papini (1881-1956). I found a lot of different quotes I loved, but this one seemed like the most fun to create a piece of work with. It jumped out at me, or rather, "leaped" out at me "through the page". Aha, see what I did there? It was also a perfect quote for the Futurists style, and gave me a lot of inspiration. I felt that I could really play with the words, like the Futurists did. Take letters and arrange them in all sorts of chaotic arrangements that led the eye all around the page. Due to the style, sometimes it was almost impossible to even make out what a word once was, but none the less, it captured the reader and got them to focus in on the individual letters, really read what was in front of them, instead of simply skimming a page. Having gotten the playful arrangement on the words and letter down, I needed to incorporate the Dadaists into my organized mess. At first I had the word Burst exploding into pieces of itself, but that sort of defeated the purpose of the style, so I was given the idea that I should try some kind of collage. I loved the idea but it later dawned on me that I didn't really know how to go about doing that…so…I hacked up some newspapers and slapped down some glue and I ended up with this. I'm sure I could have done more, given the time, but…you know how it is. I do (somewhat) enjoy how to newspaper worked for the exploding feel I was trying to achieve. Though I don't really think the collage feel got through enough…All in it, it was pretty fun to do, and I definitely want to try something like this again. design history blog entry 5 Futurist Dadaist siemariart posted this

We liked the pool, it was a large pool and had a separate hot tub. Close to 6 flags.
Pool was not monitored and hotel guests were rude, 5 little kids unattended in hot tub. Some were running and jumping in and another was playing with life saving flotation device. One of hotel attendants walked through and didn't say anything about it. We had to ask for towels in pool area. Jets on hot tub were so high it was uncomfortable and splashed up in our faces. They seemed under staffed for the large volume of guests. Breakfast was horrible. the usual make your own waffles but with the volume of guests it was a line to make them and the rest of the breakfast was either under ripe or just junk. Bathroom curtain was ripped and there was no ventilation. There was a sign saying forgive us of our construction, didn't see any construction.

Social media spending is increasing, but chief marketers are finding it difficult to prove the impact of those expenditures, a study finds.
Police and protesters are clashing in Brazil—but for brands, including AB InBev's Budweiser, the party carries on.
When it comes to marketing at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Coke's spending money as enthusiastically as an overheated sports fan popping open a frosty Coke on a hot day.
Content marketing is big money—as in a $44 billion industry that generates three times as many leads per dollar spent as traditional marketing tactics.
Gartner research shows that marketers plan to increase their digital marketing budgets by 10% in 2014.
Jon Baron, CEO and cofounder of Tagman, sat down with Direct Marketing News to talk tips for making your digital spend count.
Winterberry Group predicts slow growth in spending across marketing channels.
Though marketers are still figuring out how to use social media to drive specific business goals, they will commit more than 20% of their budgets to the channel by 2018, says a Duke University poll.
Convergence, integration, strategizing, and customer listening are areas of marketing focus in the year ahead.
Luxury brands will invest more in digital marketing to attract affluent audiences on the go and "SiSoMo" (sight, sound, and motion) might be the next big thing.
To get at the heart of some of the challenges facing marketers when it comes to defining the best strategies and programs to drive marketing success, Direct Marketing News convened a select group of senior marketers in a closed-door roundtable discussion sponsored by Marketo.
Although 2012 is predicted to see historically high commodities prices — affecting both PepsiCo's and Coca-Cola's bottom line — each is committing a significant amount of cost-cutting to an increase in marketing spend in 2012.
PepsiCo plans to increase marketing spend on its brands by between $500 million and $600 million this year, cut costs and trim its agency roster, the company said in an earnings statement Feb. 9.
Coca-Cola plans to invest as much as $650 million from annual cost savings into its future marketing efforts, the company said on Feb. 7.
Dell strives to better target its customers and market its brand.
Four business executives said they survived the "Great Recession" by returning to direct marketing fundamentals, while speaking during a July 14 panel discussion at the MeritDirect Business Mailers's Co-op and Interactive Marketing Conference.
We're in the throes of putting together our annual Agency Business Report that examines the financial health and trends among direct marketing agencies.
Lisa Arthur, the CMO of Aprimo, which offers marketing software to measure and implement campaigns, discusses integration and the best ways to track costs down to the individual lead.
Marketers reported spending increases last quarter, according to the Direct Marketing Association's (DMA) Quarterly Business Review. It was the first time in more than a year they've done so.
Changes to technology, media and society at large have led the advertising industry into an "adaptive marketing" era, defined by greater interaction with consumers and initiatives tailored to the individual, according to a March 29 report from Forrester Research.
Forrester Research announced December 2 that it has acquired Monitor Group's Strategic Oxygen. Forrester is mandating Strategic Oxygen to give technology marketing clients data-rich insight for marketing mix planning. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Direct marketing's share of total US advertising spending will reach 54.3% for 2009, increasing by 1.6% over last year's total, according to statistics released by the Direct Marketing Association for its DMA09 conference. Direct marketing ad spend will increase 2.7% next year, reaching $153.3 billion in total, according to the group's predictions.
Seventy-one percent of global CMOs reported 2009 marketing budgets are lower than budgets they had in 2008, and more than half (51%) have reported cuts of 20% or more, according to Forrester Research in its "Marketing Budgets Suffer Significant Cuts" report released July 7.

The hotel was clean and comfortable.It provided the basic needs for 2 fisherman for 2 days.
First rm was smokey, pillows had blood stains on them: not up to my wifes standards (she has cleaned motel rooms for a living in the past) so on to the second rm and still not so good took two more rooms looking into and finally found one clean. This is a very old Motel so do not expect class, just a low cost room. these rooms are (most) small circa 40s 50s building style. As of this writing 5/8/10 desk has mostly new clerks, but seemed willing to help as much as able. Coffee in am was OK. On a score of 1 to 5 where 5 is the highest we give it a 3. Pool was not open as this writing. The resturant next door has good breakfast, lunch and dinner. PaPa Poblano's, not connected to the Motel as far as we knew. Kelly and Danna A. Decatur, Texas

With their powerhouse chords and heavy riffs, the Toadies still evoke nostalgic memories of the musical ennui and confusion of the mid-'90s, when cries of "sellout!" reverberated loudly through the rarefied air of certain punk and alternative-music circles. As avaricious radio programmers co-opted punk and sold it to a mainstream America glutted with Richard Marx and Wilson Phillips, the Nirvana-primed airwaves burgeoned with stoopid, faux-rebellious wannabes riding in on grunge's coattails. Standing way out from the middling herd, the Toadies hit it big nationally with the robust, cheeky "Possum Kingdom," one of the most lyrically thought-provoking hit singles of the era.
Whether about hipster vampires on the make or clandestine gay romance, the menacing ditty put the Toadies on the map for many a rock-and-roll-starved American. Morbid, angry, ambiguous and occasionally funny ("I come from the water/That weren't no easy thing"), the band's roaring album Rubberneck came on like a brainy teen-ager, all wounded ego and looming brawn. On the long-awaited follow-up, last year's Hell Below/Stars Above, the assault was tempered--still plenty of cathartic bashing and howling, but with slowed-down moments, too. (As on "Jigsaw Girl," when singer Todd Lewis makes like a '50s crooner singing to his steady girl, but with one key difference: The heroine is cut into little pieces.) The group broke up last August, but they're back--for a little while, at least--promoting their recently released live disc, Live from Paradise. Enjoy while you can.

Texas singer-songwriter Gretchen Phillips is about to release her first new album in five years. The proudly out lesbian and Texas Music Hall of Fame inductee continues her smart, thought-provoking brand of songwriting on I Was Just Comforting Her. Lead-off track "Red State/Blue State" is an electro-pop ditty with an optimistic message that suits the Age of Obama. It's in keeping with her desire to explore higher studio production values as well. Phillips says of the new record, "I got hungry for really big production. Not big production for big production's sake, but to make an album that utilized every instrument and sound that I felt would serve the songs. I decided not to scrimp on my recording budget and not to give myself any time constraints. I wanted to work on it until I was totally satisfied."

Dan Raper handed out an 8 to Black Dice's 2007 Load Blown, a collection of the band's 12-inchs released during that year on Paw Tracks. About the Animal Collective labelmates he said: "The coalescing of chaos into something approaching the ordered groove of beat-fuelled electronica serves as an appropriate moment for distinction between Black Dice and those other gnarly Brooklynites, Excepter. Whereas the latter have been playing around with basic songform, setting up and undercutting expectation with an academic, over listenability bent, Black Dice's noisy grooves have a more identifiable emotion beneath the mess and junk." Black Dice's new album Repo drops on April 7th and here is the first single.

Supposedly an ancient supergroup that went their own ways, the master tapes for the BPA sessions were unearthed earlier this year, cleaned up, and are now publicly available. Fantasy is fun, ain't it? As our review said, "The album's strongest track is also a cover. 'He's Frank (Slight Return)', originally by the Monochrome Set, appears here with a funkier bassline, abundant handclaps, and almost subterranean vocals from Iggy Pop." As the video proves, even as a muppet, Iggy can still kick your ass.

On the 6th of January there were reports of Horde Sightings in the Redridge Mountains. The Alliance forces under King Varian Wrynn's command were send to the obstacle to see what exactly was going on, then was found out that this wasn't just a sighting, this was an actual war.
The Argent Post is a neutral newspaper that spreads its reaches all the way from Quel'thalas to Elwynn Forest. From current events, Argent Post informs, surveys and battle headlines, the Post is a part of history here in Azeroth and wants to continue to grace the morning tables of many for decades to come.
Gnomes gathered together in Dun Morough this last Saturday to remember the disaster in the former capital of Gnomeregan, singing out praise for High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque and showing their respects for those lost so long ago.
After a long wait and a painful decision process, the judges of the story contest finally decided on the final winners of the contest!
After a long few days of deliberation, the glorious judges have read through the tales and adventures tied to the fall of Theramore. Stories of courage, fear, determination, and downright greed were laid to ink, and it was our esteemed pleasure to take a glimpse into so many character's minds.
After what could be called one of the most extravagent elven galas in recent years, the city of Silvermoon received word that the warhost unit known as the Bloodied Talons were lost at sea in the ongoing war against the Alliance forces in their pilgrimmage to the new lands beyond the mist.
The Horde exemplifies another act of brute savagery this week as rumors of a jungle assault surface mere days after the crumbling of our fair city of Theramore. Citizens of the region are left wondering if this is it, or if a full scale war in wandering onto their very doorsteps.
After the catastrophic fall of the proud Alliance capital of Theramore, citizens of both the Horde and Alliance struggle to make sense of the event, inspiring both outrage and warcries from all over Azeroth.
The time to act is now!
The forces of the Horde rallied together in a variety of festivities this last weekend, celebrating unity through both ritual practice and friendly competition during these dark times of war. A display of vitality shown by nearly every race despite news from the frontlines proves even now that all the Horde remains strong in the traditions they've honored for decades - finding power in the binding of their people above all else.
Another siege of Stromgarde was lost last week, in the last of a string of failed attempts to retake the land lost in the battles of the Borderlands. Disenchanted and withdrawn, the siege attempt left the hired swords assigned to the Horde-infested lands sailing towards Kalimdor along with what seems like more than half of the city's militias, seeking to defend when they could not recapture.

We do not know when his injury occurred for certain, but we do know this, Tony Romo's last drive, while obviously in pain, was the kind of athlete overcoming injury stories that could have gone down in the annals of Cowboys History as an all time test of guts and determination. In 2013 Tony Romo swept the NFC East teams he faced, and I continue to believe that if he had not been lost to that herniated disc in his back for the finale we would have won. That is how much faith I have in Tony Romo despite the continued belief by some that he is a choker.
I've often wondered why Matt Ryan isn't labeled the same way Tony Romo is, given the fact he has won the exact same number of post season games, but lost 1 more than Tony has? On top of this Matt Ryan was the overall 3rd pick of his Draft while Tony was undrafted. You'd think the scrutiny would be greater on a 1st round pick, but it isn't. The scrutiny is greater in Dallas than anywhere else in the NFL. Tony Romo's grade for 2013, when taking into account his stats, guts, record, and leadership is an A-. I would have given him a full A or even an A+ if the wins and losses were weighted heavy on wins. The Cowboys were not 8-8 due to his lack of effort or performance. The blame and grades will fall harder on other areas later in this series.
Next up is Kyle Orton. Can I just tell you that I really like Orton? I think we have one of the best backup QBs in the NFL and I really believed he was going to lead us to victory over the Eagles. Alas, his last pass was picked off and the season came to a screeching halt after a very promising beginning. I do not fault Orton for the loss, but it is impossible not to know he played a role in it.
He has been the good soldier ever since he arrived here last year to replace Jon Kitna. Orton has been a starter in this league and could still start for some teams. You have to give him some credit for not being a distraction. On top of this, for 2 years as the Cowboys have gone with only two QBs he has been the guy running the Scout teams. Indeed he is a good solider. We needed him to be a good leader in the absence of the recognized leader. He had a great game except for 2 throws.

PSIGEN Announces Master Agreement with Dell to Deliver PSI:Capture Solutions to SharePoint Customers
Once again PSIGEN's PSI:Capture product has proven to be the best in class for SharePoint. Following the announcement last year that Microsoft's US legal department chose PSI:Capture over many other capture solutions, to scan legal files into SharePoint, PSIGEN recently announced that it has been chosen by Dell's SharePoint Consulting practice as their document capture partner. This formal agreement follows on from a number of successful projects together and will allow Dell to focus on document capture and scanning for delivery of joint SharePoint solutions.
"Dell's expertise in the SharePoint space is well known, and we have already worked together on delivering several SharePoint scanning solutions," said Bruce Hensley, PSIGEN's President. "This Master Agreement formalizes our partnership, and sets the foundation for driving future business together."
For SharePoint users, the PSI:Capture product is particularly interesting in that it enables users to capture information from almost any type of document and automatically migrate it into SharePoint, including SharePoint 2013 and Office 365. PSI:Capture can also be used to migrate documents and information into more than 60 other enterprise systems.

PSIGEN announces latest release – PSI:CAPTURE v5: Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR), Enhanced Forms Processing and Classification
PSIGEN Software, Inc., has released v5, the latest version of its flagship document capture product, PSI:Capture. This release is a major step forward in providing fully automated document recognition and data capture and is ideally suited to the accounts payable market.
This latest release includes features for advanced forms processing and the intelligent identification of documents and forms. Many of the features have been in the product for quite some time as custom scripted options but now they have all been added as product features available through the configuration wizard interface.
If you are an existing PSI:Capture customer then PSI:Capture v5 is available free of charge as part of your annual maintenance and support agreement, with the exception of the classification module which is an additional cost. If you would like details on how to upgrade please contact us for more information.
New release highlights:
Record Type Enhancements – Record types allow a capture workflow to contain multiple sets of documents with varying characteristics, including: shared and unique index fields, differing zone templates, differing expressions for extraction, and classification rules.
Dynamic Pattern Matching – pattern matching can now be triggered automatically based on the classification of a document. These triggered expressions can also be shared across record types to make extraction simple.
Smart Zones – this advanced technology helps with processing information across forms through two integrated features: dynamic anchoring and compassing. Smart Zones can be used for complicated data extraction processes in AP, eDiscovery or medical review to find data surrounding specific terms.
Zone Profiles – now, within a single document type, you can have multiple zone templates that are linked to a particular form or document. This provides a simple, efficient way to extract information or provide operators with "zoom zones" based on the classified form type.
Classification Module – this module allows for identification of forms, intelligent separation based on form types and validation based on page counts. The module automates the forms processing task through an easy to configure, efficient and intelligent recognition process. All of the above features can be tied to a classified form, providing dynamic data extraction capabilities in a single document type.
Enterprise Feature Set – v5 has new features to provide enhanced redundancy, disaster recovery, and reporting through SQL Server.
All of these features combined give end users the ability to process complicated forms quickly and efficiently. "We have deployed our classification solution within several large customers, including Microsoft, and the solutions have really streamlined their forms processing efforts," said Stephen Boals, Vice President of Sales for PSIGEN. "PSI:Capture v5 extends the feature set, and adds additional features to provide any organisation with an effective, affordably-priced document classification solution."
An overview of v5, feature listings and demonstration videos can be found at http://www.psigen.com/v5.

OPEX and PSIGEN Announce Partnership for Digital Mailroom Solutions
OPEX Corporation and PSIGEN Software announced recently they have entered into a new technology partnership agreement to offer an integrated digital mailroom solution comprised of PSIGEN's PSI:Capture and PSI:Fusion with OPEX's prep-reducing scanners.

This solution has streamlined the agency's formerly labour-intensive workflow.
PSI:Capture is an innovative document capture platform engineered to combine automation, efficiency, stability, and Enterprise-class scalability. The unique design of the OPEX AS7200 and DS2200 scanners offer the industry's lowest labour costs for document capture for incoming mail and archive/backfile capture.The combined solution makes the entire process more efficient, resulting in lower total cost of ownership and on-going labour savings throughout the life of the system.

The PSI:Capture 4.6 release has over 70 new features, many of which were requested by bureaus to make their scanning operations even more efficient. Below are 10 new key features for any scanning service bureau:
- Batch Deadline System. This feature gives you the ability to provide a timed deadline on particular scan jobs. When a batch hits its deadline, an email notification is sent, and the deadline becomes red in Batch Manager. Really useful for those quick turnaround batches.
- PDF Text to Field. No more OCR for electronically generated PDFs or PDFs that have already been OCR'd. This feature will pull in the text layer to a field that can then be parsed using our pattern matching technology for automated indexing. Higher accuracy and faster job completion.
- Enhanced PDF Forms processing and template auto-configuration. PSI:Capture has had the ability to ingest form fields from within a PDF for a while, but now setup time is a quicker. There is now a PDF form configuration template. Just point PSI:Capture at a sample PDF form file, and all the form fields are configured as index fields with the right data type and length. Not a bad feature to have on that 300 field PDF form the customer wants processed.
- Blank page processing enhancements. Ah the blank page, the bane of every service bureau. Is it actually blank? 4.6 adds new processing algorithms that can all be used at once, using a voting process. Add that to the new blank page recognition preview tester, and you can load, test and view results before you scan 10,000 pages.
- Data file parsing enhancements. Strange legacy data file included with every image? Want to auto-extract information from an XML file? PSIGEN has enhanced its text data file processing to include the ability to put the data file into a memo field in the product. Once in the field, PSI:Capture's ADE engine can be used for pattern matching and parsing to glean out the data.
- SQL Azure Integration. PSI:Capture now integrates with Microsoft's Azure platform on 3 levels: database document type templates for ease of setup, cloud database lookups and SQL Azure database migration. This enhancement will help bureaus to access customer data more easily, through a seamless integration.
- Flag auto-processing for separation and combining. Do you have complex OCR pattern match separation and want to offload the process to another machine? With separation auto-processing, you can now do all your separation in a separate workflow step. Note: this is just the tip of the iceberg for all types of automated processing you can do in this manner.
- Parallel OCR format processing. Previously, if you had a customer that wanted searchable PDFs as well as a full text/XML output, you had to run two separate OCR processes to create both formats. No more. With parallel OCR processing, you can create two formats with one capture workflow step.
- Full batch and folder rejection capabilities. If one of your operators is scanning a folder that is a total mess, but the problem is there are 100 documents and they all need to be kept together, how do you reject the folder and all the sub-documents without holding up the whole batch? Exceptions processing in automated mode can now auto-reject the whole batch or folder.
- Speedy job setup. Faster setup = faster completion = lower labour costs = getting paid sooner. There are a high number of features focused on getting you into production faster: auto-zone sizing, zone setup hot keys, auto-detect and configure barcodes, global device profiles, custom auto-correction libraries for OCR and much, much more.
Drive more business. Reduce your labour costs. Higher profits. PSI:Capture from Datafinity.

Ford Motor Co.,
engine production,
Joe Hinrichs
CHICAGO Ford Motor Co. plans to invest nearly $200 million and add 450 new jobs at its Cleveland engine plant to meet rising consumer demand for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine.
"Cleveland Engine Plant was the first to produce EcoBoost engines and will continue to be a cornerstone of Fords strategy to deliver affordable fuel economy for millions," Joe Hinrichs, president of the automakers Americas division, said in a statement.
Production of the 2.0-liter EcoBoost for the North American market is now based in Valencia, Spain. The investment in Cleveland will shift North American production to Ohio, while Fords Valencia Engine Plant will remain the exclusive 2.0-liter EcoBoost production site for Fords Europe-built vehicles. Valencia will continue to produce and ship parts for these engines to North America.
The move will not affect overall employment at the Valencia engine plant, the company said. However, some engine plant employees will be transferred to the Valencia Assembly Plant to support increased production of Fords C-MAX, Kuga, Transit Connect and Tourneo Connect models.
The domestic hiring builds on the creation of more than 8,100 salaried and hourly jobs in the United States last year, including 1,000 in-sourced hourly positions.
Ford said that it is more than halfway to its goal of creating 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015. The Dearborn, Mich.-based company said last month that it will hire 2,200 salaried workers in the United States this year to fill new product development, manufacturing and information technology positions (amm.com, Jan. 11).
Production of the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine will begin in North America in late 2014. Cleveland Engine Plant currently produces the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a 3.7-liter V6.
The Ohio plant now employs about 1,300 workers, who have built more than 500,000 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines since 2009.

(WWF) Vulnerable species
Most people don't know that China's famous black and white bear has a little red cousin. The red panda is slightly larger than a domestic cat with a bear-like body and thick russet fur. The belly and limbs are black, and there are white markings on the side of the head and above its small eyes. Red pandas are very skillful and acrobatic animals that predominantly stay in trees. They use their long, bushy tails for balance and to cover themselves in winter, presumably for warmth. Primarily an herbivore, the name panda is said to come from the Nepali word 'ponya,' which means bamboo or plant eating animal. (…)
Almost 50 percent of the red panda's habitat is in the Eastern Himalayas. The loss of nesting trees and bamboo is causing a decline in red panda populations across much of their range because their forest home is being cleared.

Except that red pandas are more closely related to raccoons.

This post is part of a collaborative blogging effort at Startup Edition. This week's edition is about the greatest startup hack you've seen.
My dad has one exemplary skill that brought him out of poverty in Taiwan and over to the U.S. with a few hundred bucks in his pocket, which he spun into a Ph.D. and eventually a full professorship at a major research university—he's good at math.
I remember hanging out with my dad and some of his college buddies, many of whom also went on to become professors at top schools and experts in their fields. My dad's friend told me, "If everyone worked as hard as your dad, everyone could be a professor." That stuck with me, not as a statement of fact, but a testament to the power of hard work to shape outcomes, even in a field considered to be dominated by genius.
My dad has a simple and memorable mantra when it came to applying hard work to learn math: "Do problems without looking." I've applied this basic idea to everything I've done from math to programming to law to startups, and it not only keys me in on deliberate improvement, it's a source of humility and inspiration. Dad doesn't have the best English, so let me explain.
1. Do problems
You don't learn math by reading math. That much seems pretty obvious. You learn math by doing math and much of the point of math is to solve problems.
When I went to law school, I was surprised how many students did not grasp this basic idea. You don't learn law by reading law, either. You learn law by doing it, and the whole point is to solve legal problems.
That's probably because many law students were trained in the liberal arts and humanities—they were intellectually reared in an environment in which "there is no right answer" is the right answer and much of the work involves mental calisthenics on how to arrive at the point where you can talk about the shifting meaninglessness of life. That's an exaggeration, but my point is that the first step of "do problems" is to acknowledge that it's possible to do problems in a way that's both right and wrong, that you can learn from.
When it comes to building a product, it becomes very easy to do what I like to call "building a bunch of random junk" without a definite problem in mind. There's typically a deep dissatisfaction with the outcome of that process because the doing had no point in the first place. It's not only about the "doing"—deliberate progress is made when you "do" a "problem." The problem gives you feedback on whether the doing is going anywhere.
2. Without looking
In the math context, "without looking" means "without looking at the solutions." It's oddly and amazingly easy to convince yourself that you got an answer correct—or would've gotten it correct—after looking at the answer, even if you got the wrong answer. If you do a problem incorrectly, you should do the problem again, again without looking at the answer. That combats the brain's incredible ability to rationalize wrong answers into right ones.
In law school, we read all the canonical cases but we were told that they were canonical. After law school, I spent one year as a law clerk for a federal appellate judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals. I was haunted by the question: if an important case came on my desk, would I know it? Without my casebook telling me that I was facing an important case, could I tell its importance from its qualities?
In law, it's amazing and inspiring that important cases don't show up on your desk with trumpets ringing. Just the opposite—any case could house an issue worthy of the Supreme Court without regard to how wealthy or famous the litigants are. What this breeds is a humility and meticulousness against pre-judging a case based on superficial appearances. In startups, any schlub you meet in a hoodie could be onto the next big thing. I find that to be incredibly exciting.
To me, doing problems without looking brings me back to the fundamental question that's humiliating but absolutely vital: despite all my credentials, all my experiences, all my airs and fancy clothes, all my pronouncements and opinions, what do I actually know?
The Voice is a reality TV show where contestants are drafted by one of four celebrity music coaches, given some training, and then pitted against each other to sing in a series of competitions, out of which a winner emerges.
Among the coaches—country music artist Blake Sheldon, Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine, Latin pop singer Shakira, and R&B entertainer Usher—I've become fascinated most with Usher. More than any other judge, he focuses on performance and standing out in a crowd of great singers by developing a unique personality and by connecting with the audience.
During a practice session, Usher and big-bearded soul singer Ryan Innis started talking about an awkwardness that Ryan had with performing when he out from behind the piano, singing alone just him and the mic.
"What were you doing with your hands?" Usher asked. "When you don't [have a guitar or piano in your hands], you have to find something to do with your hands."
Then Usher began playacting as Ryan. "I don't know," Usher started as he felt out the role, "There's something about when you take charge and when you move [the mic]." Usher snatched the mic and bent it down.
"Subtle theatrics is what this is," Usher emphasized.
100 Teslas by Tony Hsieh
I was relaxing with Will Young, head of Zappos in San Francisco, and I asked him, "What's up with the 100 Teslas thing?"
If you haven't heard, Tony Hsieh bought 100 Teslas to bring car sharing to downtown Las Vegas as part of his mission to revitalize downtown Las Vegas.
Will laughed, and he said, "That's just Tony. He's such a great storyteller." To bring car sharing to downtown Vegas, Hsieh could've bought 100 Priuses. But the thing is, no one would've cared.
As performer wears theatrical makeup with theatrical movement to be perceptible by the audience in the distance, Hsieh seems to tell the most extreme, most theatrical version of his story. The effect is subtle differentiation to those of us who go about our daily lives with a 10,000 foot perspective on the companies vying for our attention. And that's why Hsieh's stories rise above the noise.
Inverted Distribution of Founder Traits by Peter Thiel
Thiel provides a framework for thinking about how subtle theatrics—even as potentially constructed narrative—becomes part of a cycle of differentiation.
(via Peter Thiel's CS183: Startup - Class 18 Notes Essay)
Telling the story becomes living the story and that becomes a permanent moat / reproducible source of differentiation. This is crucial because early on when you don't even know who you yourself is, any narrative theatrics will feel constructed and fake.
As Usher put it: "In order for Ryan Innis to win [The Voice], he's going to have to commit himself to what he wants to tell the world."
Every fundraising announcement contains a list of investors who've come on board, but I've never seen a fundraising announcement that lists the people who helped make the round happen. I'm left with the impression that the founder is the kind of polished and untouchable fundraising magnet I could never hope to be.
We managed to raise a round and I've never asked for more help in my entire life. I feel strongly that our ability to raise had almost nothing to do with my ability to sell or raise. It had entirely to do with the team at iDoneThis, the company we've built to date, and the insane generosity of the people who supported us.
In the spirit of giving you a sense of just how little I did and just how much people gave us their support—and as meager thanks—here's a list of the people who made our round possible.
Most lawyers are mistaken. They think that when they go into court to argue a case, they're going to win or lose a case based on their powers of persuasion. Not so. By the time the lawyer gets up to argue a case, 99% of the time, the judge has already made up her mind.
I got to see this all from behind the scenes when I served as a law clerk for a federal appellate judge. Judges decide cases based on the briefs and their own research, not the words that come out of a lawyer's mouth. Oral argument is about giving the parties their day in court, and I don't mean that figuratively. It's actually all about putting on a suit and walking around a marble-floored, high-ceilinged building.
I've learned that the same is true in fundraising. By the time that you actually get in front of a potential investor, they're either ready to say yes or no. And that judgment is most likely not going to be swayed by what comes out of your mouth in the meeting unless it's really stupid. It's about the "briefs", which is the quality of the company you're representing, the logic behind your business, and the number and quality of connections to the potential investor.
As someone who doesn't consider himself to be a natural salesman, this understanding was remarkably reassuring. I felt a plaguing reticence around fundraising because I saw these awesome people in the news raising millions based on a concept alone and I thought they had silver tongues that I couldn't match. Rather, most of the real work happens in building your business, thinking through the opportunity in creating a deck and associated materials, and getting and working connections.
Venkat Rao challenges Jim Collins's take on the aphorism of the fox and the hedgehog with his celebration of "foxy intelligence" over the plodding hedgehog. There's an advantage to being a fox, which Rao celebrates with his "four laws of foxy resilience."
1. Build on contradictions, not values
2. Preserve memories, not identities
3. Seek motifs, not axioms
4. Pursue adventure, not love
1. Build on contradictions, not values
2. Preserve memories, not identities
3. Seek motifs, not axioms
4. Pursue adventure, not love
Jack Dorsey comes to mind as a person with a foxy intelligence. A search for "Square company values" turns up nothing (and an empty Quora thread); rather, he's known for using the Golden Gate Bridge as a motif to convey his approach to design as the synthesis of utility and beauty. His aesthetic of Wabi-sabi is typically Eastern as a mashup of contradictions.
Contrast, for example, Tony Hsieh's exhortation to figure out your company values as early as possible, write them down, and get everyone on the same page. At the same time, Hsieh is extremely creative and his ventures are characterized by their uniqueness in combining unexpected ideas, most recently, shoes & great service and the startup & the city.
For Rao, the synthesis is in the Campbellian mythic journey of the hero. You start out as a hedgehog, you set off on a foxy adventure, and you're transformed into a hedgehog—back to where you started, to see the same place for the first time.
Fitocracy has grown to host over one million users, which it announced this morning, by focusing on true progress through gamification. Talens explains that streaks, as seen with the Nike FuelBand (11 days making goal, for example) can be both motivational and demotivational. Rather than focusing on the number of days you can work out in a row, the focus should be on running a faster mile time or lifting heavier weight, aka progress.

Versus other general behavior change apps, Fitocracy has a concrete use case and has built up a rich set of structured data. The upshot is that real-life progress is more accurately reflected by its representation in the app. Whereas these other companies can only give you feedback on frequency of engaging with the app, Fitocracy can tell you something closer to real-life progress.
Real progress is the addiction, better aligns what the app maker wants and what the user wants, and is ultimately what gives the app meaning away from the keyboard. My friend described to me how after Duolingo added streaks, he noticed that his days of engagement in a row increased, but so did his periods of inactivity following the end of the streak. A degenerate side effect was that he began using Duolingo more at midnight, so that his use would straddle two days and give him greater streak benefit. I'm not sure if that helped improve his Spanish.

Russell Wilson played for the North Carolina State Wolfpack from 2008-10, and now he will be honored by his former college team.
Wilson passed for 8,545 yards and 76 touchdowns as the quarterback of the Wolfpack and he will join Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams in getting his jersey honored at NC State's spring game on April 12.
Wilson's No. 16 jersey will not be retired, but it will be designated to the coaches to assign the number as a symbol of honor. The jersey will also have a special patch on it.
"This is truly an amazing honor and I am looking forward to being back in Raleigh and Carter-Finley Stadium," Wilson said in NC State's official press announcement. "My experience at NC State was an amazing one playing football and baseball but also accomplishing my goal of graduating in three years. My memories of playing as the quarterback for the Wolfpack are never ending and the roar of the Wolfpack Nation still rings in my ear from memorable wins against FSU and UNC!
"I learned the value of great leadership, ultimate sacrifice, and the relentless belief that hard work pays off. I am grateful for all of my amazing teammates and players past, present, and future. I can still taste and sense the blood, sweat, and tears we all sacrificed to be successful."
Wilson originally intended to play all four of his collegiate years for the Wolfpack, but he left the school after having differences with then-head coach Tom O'Brien, who didn't want Wilson to miss offseason practices by attending spring training with the Colorado Rockies in 2010.
Wilson transferred to the University of Wisconsin where he led the Badgers to 11 wins (more than half of the 20 wins he had in three years at NC State) and a Big Ten title.
The Badgers finished the season ranked No. 10 in the nation and made it to the Rose Bowl before falling to the Oregon Ducks in the highest-scoring Rose Bowl game ever. Wilson threw for 296 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 45-38 loss.
In 2012, Wilson was drafted by the Seahawks and less than two years later, he led the team to their first Super Bowl win.
