This invention is directed to a method for electronically transmitting a text document along with linked information, and in particular, for transmitting a text document with linked information without interfering with or jeopardizing the integrity of the text document.
It is known in the art to transmit text documents such as reports or other types of information as an electronic data stream to a distant terminal by way of Internet, intranet, or the like. It is also known, to provide links within the text which allow the user of the terminal to view one document and retrieve specified associated material that is either associated with or related to the portion of the document text which contains the link.
It is often desirable to combine multiple elements into a single report. For example, written text may be combined with an illustrative image corresponding to that text, or, the text may, in fact, be describing or making comment on what is in the image. By way of example, a medical report describing the symptoms of a patient may include diagnostic images such as MRI, X-ray or the like. More generally, a report that represents interpretation of certain data such as the image or graphs or charts may include illustrative examples from the data. The example data may be included directly within the body of the report or it may be included by reference through a link. Often, these reports are what are known as signature reports, implying that the text of the report has not been tampered with. This is required so that other people making use of the report know that the report can be relied upon.
It is known to combine the illustrative image or data with the text, in effect linking the text through several methods. A first method is to embed the image directly into the text of the reports. However, such an embedding of the image in the report either requires technical know-how by the person creating the report who embeds the image into the report as they are writing it, or requires a second party to embed the image after the report has been completed. However, this brings into question the validity of the report once someone besides the author has manipulated the text to include the images. This is particularly important because any change to the report could result in misdiagnosis or mistreatment. Therefore, embedding pictures into a report after it has been prepared could result in jeopardizing the integrity of the report through inadvertent human error during the embedding process.
Furthermore, it is not always necessary that an image be present to make sense of the medical report. Therefore, embedding the image into the report may be a waste of screen space, text space, and the time of the doctor who is trying to make a quick study of the report.
To overcome these shortcomings, endnotes and web page hyperlinks (HTML) are provided to link the text to a desired address which will retrieve the required illustrative information (link information) as needed and display the link information along with the text. However, conventional endnotes in reports add markers to the body of the report and invalidate the signature. The HTML (hyperlink tags) also modify the body of the report and furthermore require HTML capable terminals in order to process the link.
Therefore, it is desired that a method be provided which allows the linking of text to illustrate data or images as desired which does not modify the text or interfere with the integrity of the text. In other words, it does not invalidate the signature for the report.
Generally speaking, in accordance with the invention, a structure and method for enabling one or more portions of a text report to be linked to ancillary information without modifying the content of the report is provided. The method includes creating text and counting characters while creating the text. At the desired point where the text is to be linked to other information, a command is given to create a link for the desired characters. The desired characters could be a word, letters or a symbol. The information to be linked is then identified. The character count for the identified portion of the text and the information to be linked, are then combined to form an endnote. When the text has been completed, the endnote is attached to the end of the document.
The endnote includes a marker indicating that an endnote exists, character identifying information which identifies the character in the text which constitutes the linked portion of the text, modification information for modifying the display of the text of those linked characters to signal that a link exists at that position in the text, as well as the address of the information to be linked. The information to be linked (link information) may either be the address of stored images and data at a repository, or maybe another related web site; or any other addressable information.
In a preferred embodiment, the process may be repeated several times to create multiple endnotes within the document. The document may also include an end of document marker such as a doctor's signature or other machine readable marker to facilitate placing of the endnote as well as further maintaining independence between the text and the endnote. Furthermore, the endnote may include a view state of an image stored in a repository, the view state including information such as the address within the repository where the image is stored, the brightness, color, and any annotations or overlays associated with the view state which may have been created in conjunction with the report or image transformation information.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide an improved method for linking text data with ancillary data without modifying the body of the text data.
Another object of the invention is providing a method for displaying both text reports and associated linked information which maintains the integrity of the report.
Yet another object of the invention is providing a method for displaying a text report and linked information which does not require special hardware or software for interpreting or storing the linkage method.
Still other objects of the invention will, in part, be obvious and will, in part, be apparent from the specification.
The invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others, and the apparatus embodying features of construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts which are adapted to affect such steps, all as exemplified in the following detailed disclosure and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the invention, reference is had to the following description in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Reference is now made to
Generally, when creating a report 26, by way of example, a medical report for a radiologist, the radiologist will retrieve the desired images from repository 18 to be displayed on screen 14 as, for example, image 20 of
In order to prevent the document from being tampered with while still maintaining the integrity of the document, the entire report 26 is treated as two separate sections. The written text 22 is treated as one element while the associated pictures 20 are treated as a second separate element; the two being linked.
Reference is now made to
Reference is now made to
If no image is to be retrieved in step 40, then the process moves to step 44 where text 22 is created absent an image. It is then determined whether or not a link should be created between the retrieved image of step 42 and the text of step 44 in a step 48. If no link is to be created either because text 22 does not correspond sufficiently to retrieved image 20, or there is no retrieved image 20, then the process proceeds to a step 50 where it is determined whether the end of text 22 has occurred. If the end of text 22 has not occurred, then the process is returned to step 40 to determine whether or not a first image 20 or following image 20 should be retrieved.
If a link is to be created, a command is given to create a link in step 52. This can be done by identifying the characters which are to be linked by either highlighting utilizing a mouse click technique as is known in the art, indicate the command through keystroke, or orally. The information to be linked to the text is identified in a step 54. This would be the corresponding image 20 in the present example. The system would then obtain the view state information presently being utilized by terminal 12 in accordance with a step 56 to display image 20 with image overlay 24 (if present) in report 26. In a step 58, the system determines which numbered characters, i.e., the address of the characters within text 22 correspond to the link. An endnote 30 is created in step 60 in which the character information is married to the view state information to create the endnote. The process is then returned to step 50 where it is determined whether or not the end of the text has been reached.
Reference is now made to
Endnote 30 includes a view state portion 78 which includes a repository address 80 for the linked information, and may include a brightness control command 82 and color command 84 to instruct terminal 12 how to display image 20. The view state information could also be image transformation information such as magnification, subrectangle or the like. Furthermore, view state 78 may include annotations 86 made during the creation of the report or the overlays 24 to be placed on image 20. With this information, terminal 12 can determine the location of the link within text 22 as well as the information required to pull up the image associated with that link if the link is, in fact, activated. Lastly, endnote 30 includes a check sum 85 to confirm the completeness and accuracy of the endnote as well as to indicate the end of endnote 30.
Once endnote 30 is created in step 60, it is then determined whether or not text 22 is complete in step 50. If text 22 is not complete, it is then determined in step 40 whether an additional image 20 is to be retrieved and, if not, further text 22 created in step 44 and the process is repeated. If it is the end of the written text 22 then an end of document mark 28 such as a signature is applied to indicate the end of the document in a step 62 and the previously created endnotes are attached to the document 26 after the signature in a step 64.
It is preferable that an end mark be provided to separate the endnotes from the text and to indicate to the terminal as well as the user that the text portion has been completely transmitted. However, the same function can be performed by an endnote presence indicator such as endnote begin marker 70, located in each endnote. Because the text is independent of the endnotes, an endnote indicator can also signal to the terminal that text is complete and processing of the endnotes should begin as discussed in detail below.
Once the report has been prepared including the signature and the endnotes, it can also be stored in a repository such as repository 18, a separate report repository (not shown) or in the memory of terminal 12 for later recall and used either by the same doctor or by other persons requiring the information contained in the report in a step 90. To retrieve the report, one would open and display text 22 as retrieved from its storage area. The document is read line by line into a temporary memory at terminal 12 as text until the signature or end of report indicator is read. When this data is encountered, the reading mode is changed from one of downloading text 22 to one of operating on the endnote information. As a result, each line of text is then processed as a separate data structure.
In a preferred embodiment, endnote 30 in its entirety, or merely components thereof, such as view state 78 are in XML language. It is also contemplated that rather than providing view state data 80 through 86, the address 80 of view state 78 could correspond to a web site which is called up in conjunction with the data being read from the report 26. The text 22 in the buffer is then operated upon, for example, by being inserted into a Java Swing document to modify the text in accordance with the instructions 76 stored in endnote 30 to indicate where links exist in the text 22. For example, the text is inserted using standard text attributes and when the text is encountered, it must be displayed as modified. The modifications, such as changing color or underline, are inserted within the text as displayed, not within text 22 itself.
Once text 22 is presented this way, the link is activated through methods known in the art such as a mouse click highlight on screen 14 of terminal 12 or the like in a step 92. The system then identifies the appropriate endnote 30 corresponding to those identified characters by matching the character address data 74 with the position within text 22 that has been activated in step 94. The system then searches for the address 80 contained within the endnote in accordance with a step 96 and retrieves the information stored by way of example in repository 18, at that address in accordance with a step 98. The image is then modified in accordance with the information 82, 84, 86 and 24 in accordance with a step 100 and is displayed as modified in accordance with step 102.
If terminal 12 cannot understand endnote 30 and/or end off text marker 28, then the report will be displayed as shown in
By providing the report which is formatted to include an endnote which contains information for linking a portion of the text to other information such as an image, a linked report is provided which is compatible with a legacy transcription system in which hyperlinks can be added to a report after the report is transcribed and signed using existing systems that are not hyperlink aware. Furthermore, it allows the use of preexisting data repositories without the requirement for special equipment. Lastly, even systems that do not interpret the commands of the hyperlink endnote will be able to display text 22 of report 26 without error because the hyperlink information is contained outside of text 22, not within it. The hyperlink endnote may be visible, but it will be visible after the original signature and end of report marks.
As discussed, endnotes formatted as described lend themselves to drafting reports which must be unaltered by their very nature once they have been completed. Such reports form part of a patient's medical records. The medical record is usually the case overview for a patient which includes associated reports, status, and logs describing the procedures, treatments, tests, and doctors' comments for a particular patient.
As medicine is now practiced, the medical report can be thought of as a plurality of protocols and procedures, each protocol and/or procedure having definite steps, or tasks, each task being capable of being performed by different individuals and most likely encouraged to be performed by different individuals. A procedure may have more than one protocol. Any protocol which can be broken up into a plurality of steps can be considered to have a workflow, the workflow being the totality of the steps required to perform a protocol. For example, the steps outlined in connection with
Reference is now made to
In effect, endnote 30 exists as a shell even though there is no report 26 associated therewith. At this stage, endnote 30 is merely a file on a web site. By way of example, the creating of the template and the creating of the endnote shell may be, in fact, the first two states of the protocol workflow. Therefore, to keep track of the state, the number 2 or the word "endnote" may be stored in a workflow state indicator 94 of endnote 30 in a step 93.
A physician, wishing to make use of the procedure and its protocols may copy the work state for the procedure along with one or more associated templates for creating reports from the web site. The physician would then enter the patient name and other information into the endnote 30 in a patient data portion 96 in a step 98. This is the third step in the protocol and the physician, either manually or automatically, enters either the number 3 in state indicator 94 or the term "patient data" which alerts all users of the endnote of the state of the workflow. This state is stored in a step 100. The physician then may, either manually or automatically, alert the various department that would perform the protocols for a particular procedure.
By way of example, in the next state of the workflow, someone may schedule a diagnostic protocol and modify endnote 30 in a step 102 and changes the state stored in state indicator 94 by either providing the word "schedule" or an incremented number in state indicator 94 in accordance with a step 104. The protocol is then performed, in this case a diagnostic protocol, to obtain the raw data which is stored in repository 18 by way of example in a step 106. Again, the state stored in state indicator 94 is incremented to reflect the completion of this workflow state in a step 108. At this stage, endnote 30 may be modified to contain links to the created data in repository 18 by way of example or a web site as stored in address 80 in a step 110.
In a step 112 a report is created as described above in connection with creating report 26. Generally, a physician opens the report which still contains only an endnote 30 having workflow state information 79. This would correspond to a new state which would be stored in state indicator 94. Then, the doctor would either dictate report 26 or call up the raw data such as the images 20 stored in repository 18 which would correspond to another state along the workflow requiring increment again of the state stored in state indicator 94. The report is then transcribed to form text 23 again incrementing the state stored in indicator 94 and a signature 28 may be added and endnote 30 is modified to add the address information 72 and view state information 78 as described above. Once the report is completed, the workflow state portion is again incremented to reflect the work state in step 113.
Another physician such as the primary care practitioner or another specialist may access the medical record through the endnote which would include the link to report 26 as well as the workflow state stored in indicator 94 as well as the protocols which have been performed in a step 114. Furthermore, the medical record would include a plurality of these reports if necessary. As the physician makes use of the report, this may also be a step within the procedure or protocol and therefore the workflow state indicator 94 is incremented again in a step 115 by changing the number value or storing the term "reviewed".
The report structure allows the addition of information to a report incrementally while remaining compatible with existing report repository and display means. By appending this information (for example, Workflow State, Image Link, Annotation and Digital Signature components) in plain text to the end of the plain text report, compatibility is maintained with the existing report repository, transmission and even display (including paper display). However, when the display is aware of the endnote format, it enables a number of enhancements and manipulations of the information associated with the report. The principal economic value of this invention is that it enables many features and benefits of Internet networks to be added to existing hospital and departmental information systems without the delay and expense of replacing major components of these systems. A further benefit of the invention is that report templates can be developed (by doctors, managed care organizations and pharmaceutical companies) and freely intermixed in the same formal information repositories. The different reports can carry vastly different protocols and might, in a preferred embodiment put this information in XML format.
By providing an endnote which can be used in connection with the report which forms part of a medical record, it is possible to create an electronic medical record including records of past procedures, protocols and logs. As a result, medical records linking a plurality of reports, protocols and procedures can be electronically stored, linked and accessed.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, among those made apparent from the preceding description are efficiently attained and, since certain changes may be made in carrying out the above method and the construction set forth without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific structures of the invention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall there between.

DEFINITION of 'Russell 3000 Value Index'
A market-capitalization weighted equity index maintained by the Russell Investment Group and based on the Russell 3000 Index, which measures how U.S. stocks in the equity value segment perform. Included in the Russell 3000 Value Index are stocks from the Russell 3000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth rates.
BREAKING DOWN 'Russell 3000 Value Index'
The Russell 3000 Index is comprised of the Russell 1000 Index and the Russell 2000 Index. To assign growth and value weights within the Russell 3000 Index, the Russell Investment Group ranks the stocks within the Russell 1000 and 2000 Indexes, respectively. Stocks are ranked by their book-to-price (B/P) ratio and their forecast long-term growth mean according to the Institutional Brokers' Estimate System (IBES).
Once ranked, the Russell Investment Group uses a non-linear probability method to separate stocks into the growth and value styles. In general, a stock with a higher ranking is considered value, and a stock with a lower ranking is considered growth. Stocks in between have both growth and value features.

*The Sonic Electronix Certified Power Ratings listed are based on a test of a specific sample amplifier. Actual power ratings may slightly vary between amps.
Power Specifications - Full Range Channels
The RMS power rating is the measure of continuous power that an amplifier can output, or a speaker can handle. It is the most accurate depiction of real, continuous power that the industry has so far.
If the final impedance of your speakers or subwoofers equals 4 ohms, this is how much power this amplifier will supply at that ohm level. The higher the RMS wattage, the more clean and loud your music will sound.
The RMS power rating is the measure of continuous power that an amplifier can output, or a speaker can handle. It is the most accurate depiction of real, continuous power that the industry has so far.
If the final impedance of your speakers or subwoofers equals 2 ohms, this is how much power this amplifier will supply at that ohm level. The higher the RMS wattage, the more clean and loud your music will sound.
Bridging refers to combining two channels on an amplifier to create one channel with double the voltage and an increased power output. A 2-channel amplifier will bridge down to 1-channel and a 4-channel amplifier can bridge to create 2-channels. An amplifier is most commonly bridged to drive a subwoofer.
Remember, once you bridge two channels down to one its final impedance will be 4 ohms unless otherwise specified. This rating lists the RMS power created once an amplifier is bridged.
Amplifier Specifications
An amplifier increases the power of the signal being fed to it by taking energy from its power supply and matching the signal but increasing its amplitude. Amplifiers use many different methods for converting these electrical signals and have been categorized into classes.
Class A/B: Greater than 50% of the input signal is amplified while the other percentage is off. These amplifiers have a small amount of current flowing through the output transistors all the time which almost eliminates crossover distortion. Class A/B has great sound quality but is not as efficient as class D. These amps are most commonly used to drive speakers.
Class D: Also known as switching amplifiers, class D amps have output transistors that are completely turned on or off. This means that when the transistors are on, there is almost no voltage across them but when they are off there is significant voltage but no current flowing through it which makes these amplifiers very efficient at the cost of sound quality. These amps are most commonly used to drive subwoofers.Other Classes: You may see classes such as GH, bD, X, FD, etc. by some manufactures. These amplifiers tend to be either class A/B, D or a hybrid of the two but with improvements to their designs that can make them more efficient or offer better sound quality.
It is measured during a brief musical burst, such as a sudden drum accent. Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal.
The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.
RMS power is the amount of continuous power, measured in watts, that an amplifier produces is called RMS power. The higher the RMS figure, the louder and cleaner your music sounds.
The RMS output figure is much more accurate than the peak rating when comparing products.
A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.
When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.
High-pass (HP)
The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.

Immokalee tries to move on after Weber
Monday was like a day of mourning, Immokalee athletic director Linda Ayer said, a day for embracing "the reality that you've lost somebody in your family."
On Tuesday, she'll start the search to replace a legend.
"That's what it is, finding someone to follow a legend," said Ayer, who promoted John Weber to head coach in 1998. "We've had a strong history, a strong tradition, and with the run of success, our (2004) state championship and his charisma and ability to place kids in college, that's gonna be a really hard thing to replace. This is a special place, and it's not for just anybody, either."
Ayer credited Weber, the beloved Indians coach for the past 10 seasons, for cultivating their community's bond with its football program in a manner she'd have never predicted a decade ago.
"He's been a father to everybody," Ayer said. "If you have a child in trouble, he's the first person you're going to call. It's a very close community, and it was a great fit. That's what's going to make this so hard."
Ayer spoke shortly after the 63-year-old told Indians players that he was retiring, partly to care for his wife, Darlene, as she battles kidney disease. She said the exchange with players was somehow more emotional than she'd imagined, adding that she'd hoped, even after Weber informed her of his decision last Friday, there could be a last-minute change of heart.
"I'd hoped (2008) would be a better year for us, then he hit us with the news — not even four days into the New Year," Ayer said. "It's gonna be tough, but in the interest of his family and kids, the best thing was for him to go ahead and step down. The good thing is, he's gonna continue to teach (social studies) here, but when he broke it to the kids, you could have heard a pin drop.
"Some of them expected it, but when (his wife's story) first surfaced, they commented, 'It doesn't sound like he'll be with us next year.' I just kept saying, 'We'll see. We'll see.'"
Ayer said she went to work on the Immokalee job listing shortly after Weber informed her of his decision, and that she expects to post it across national job boards in the coming days.
She acknowledged that some of Weber's current assistants, like Immokalee grad and offensive coordinator Izzy Gallegos, who called all the offensive plays under Weber, would be considered, but the search will still span the nation and be open to all interested candidates.
Ayer and a committee, which she said will likely include Weber, will interview finalists and hopefully have a new coach in place for the first spring practice on May 1.
"Love of the game, understanding of the game and loving of our kids," Ayer said of the most important qualities in a candidate. "Coach Weber ends everything with, 'We love each and every one of you.' That's the thing. You've got to love our kids and the community and know the game of football. He's taken us to a pretty high level, so continuing at that level will be important."
Ayer said the school will honor Weber at their annual booster club fundraiser on Jan. 29, and predicted it will be the first of many tributes for a coach who has come to embody the toughness of the small town on the edge of the Everglades.
"Even thought we knew it might be coming, the reality is, you've lost somebody in your family," she said. "Now we're going to post the job and move on as quickly as we can."

No. 2 Gophers Wrangle Cowboys, 41-5
Nov. 24, 2013
MINNEAPOLIS -- In its second dual of the season, the No. 2 University of Minnesota Golden Gopher Wrestling team defeated the Wyoming Cowboys, 41-5. With the win, the Maroon and Gold improve to 2-0 on the season and 1-0 in the Big Ten.
The team was able to claim three major decisions and three pins to claim the victory in front of the home crowd at the Sports Pavilion.
The dual started with a matchup between redshirt freshman Samuel Brancale and No. 6 Tyler Cox. Cox was able to control the entirety of the bout and come away with a technical fall, 18-2. This was the only loss for the Golden Gophers as Brancale fell to 9-3 on the season.
Minnesota was able to win the next 9 duals with a pin each from No. 8 David Thorn, No. 3 Dylan Ness and No. 1 Tony Nelson. Thorn, Schiller and Nelson as well as Storley who was able to win by technical fall over Brent Havlick are still undefeated on the season for the Maroon and Gold.
Brett Pfarr, who was the underdog coming into the bout with No. 16 Benjamin Stroh, was able to step up in a big way and show his potential as he won by major decision, 10-1, over his ranked opponent in the 184 weight class.
The Golden Gophers will travel to Corvallis, Ore. on Saturday, Nov. 30 to take on Oregon State. The dual will begin at 9 p.m. CT.

Apple to begin trial production of 'iPhone 5S', iPad mini 2 in December?
Apple will begin the trial production process for the 'iPhone 5S' in December, according to new reports.
Apple will begin the trial production process for the 'iPhone 5S' in December, according to new reports.
Despite Microsoft's big marketing push, sales of the Surface RT tablet have started "modestly," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says in a recent interview. The tablet is also drawing some gripes and less interest than Microsoft likely wants.
The iPhone 5 appears to be suffering from a touch-based input 'glitch' that causes the display to pause or completely stop responding to touch input when the user is swiping back and forth diagonally on the screen in a fast motion.
Microsoft's hip marketing may be luring people to buy its Surface RT tablets, but it hasn't prevented some customers from complaining that the touch cover keyboard falls apart.
Here are 10 that made a significant impact in the industry this year, listed in the order of their releases
Respondents largely opted for tablets over PCs in a survey asking which computer they had on their holiday wish list.
Analyst Horace Dediu notes that Apple spent $2.3 billion more than forecast and suggests that it was to bail out Sharp.
Speculation about Microsoft Office's arrival on iPad, iPhone and Android has been circulating the web for a while now, but the latest reports suggest that the productivity suite could finally be released on mobile devices early next year.
Lenovo's CEO,Yang Yuanqing, expects the market will gradually move away from entertainment-focused tablets in favor for convertible PCs, which he said can strike a balance between the functions of touch-based tablets and the productivity of a laptop.
A new report has sparked a debate about the possibility of Apple rejecting Google's Maps app for iOS, which is expected to be submitted to the App Store later this year.
An analyst has predicted that Apple has sold two million iPad minis since its launch last week.
Microsoft makes more than $300 on each Surface RT tablet it sells, showing that the company has adopted the business model of its rival, Apple, analysts said.
Microsoft is building a 7-in. mini Surface tablet focused on gaming, possibly called the Xbox Surface, according to various reports.
Gartner report that 1.2 billion smart devices will be purchased in 2013, breaking the 1 billion mark for the first time.
Don't be fooled by the advertised 32GB of storage in Microsoft's Surface with Windows RT tablet. The actual amount of available storage in the $500 model is closer to 16GB.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

ODP Tryouts to be held this month.
By Pat Grecco
As soccer student-athletes prepare for preseason and return to their Varsity teams, there is a lot to think about with regard to preparation for playing at the collegiate level. I cannot impress the idea of starting your college search early as I'm a firm believer in the concept of "The early bird gets the worm."
How can soccer help you with your college search?
The obvious is, of course, getting a scholarship. Yes this is true, but more important, being a soccer player can actually help you narrow your choices and assist you with the admission process. College coaches can endorse you with Admissions and help you get into a school that you might not have been admitted to without soccer.
When do I begin?
The best time to begin is 10th grade as college coaches will identify talented sophomores. Although NCAA rules will not allow college coaches to contact you directly until the end of junior year, you can phone, e-mail, send US Mail and visit the coach. Coaches will come to see you play at tournaments and college showcases, although it is difficult for them to see you during the Varsity season since that is when they are playing as well. Post-season play for Varsity is sometimes a chance for them to see you.
Which schools should I pick?
Pick the schools that have the right fit, have your major, suitable geographic location, size and most importantly, the best academics and the level of soccer that's right for you. Be realistic in your selections, have lots of options. Talk to your coaches and guidance counselor. Begin writing to about 30 schools, then narrow down your choices to around 10, and apply to about six. Your first communication should be a hard copy, Athletic-Academic Profile, also known as your soccer resume, with a cover letter, addressed to the coach by name. After initially writing, further communication will be done by Internet and phone.
How do I know the coach wants me?
The college coach will see you play, get in touch with you when permitted by NCAA rules, call frequently, and invite you for an "official visit" during your senior year. The coach will also get in touch with your soccer reference to discuss your level of play.
How can I get the coach to see me play?
This is called networking. You can write, fax, phone and e-mail the college coach. Also send your Varsity, club, ODP schedules as well as tournament and college showcase schedules. Perhaps you will be selected to play in a college showcase. This would be a great opportunity for you to invite the coach to watch you and evaluate your level of play. Also, go to a summer camp at a college, possibly one of the schools where you plan to apply. You can also let other college coaches know what summer camps you will be attending.
Finally, don't sit home and wait for your phone to ring! Be proactive for yourself, and don't let your parents take over what you need to do, that is the networking with college coaches.

- labor market outcomes;
- sibling fixed effects
Although several types of mental illness, including substance abuse disorders, have been linked with poor labor market outcomes, no current research has been able to examine the effects of childhood attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Because ADHD has become one of the most prevalent childhood mental conditions, it is useful to understand the full set of consequences of the illness. This article uses a longitudinal national sample, including sibling pairs, to show the important labor market outcome consequences of ADHD. The employment reduction is between 10 and 14 percentage points, the earnings reduction is approximately 33%, and the increase in social assistance is 15 points, figures that are larger than many estimates of the Black people/White people earnings gap and the gender earnings gap. A small share of the link is explained by educational attainments and co-morbid health conditions and behaviors. The results also show important differences in labor market consequences by family background and age of onset. These findings, along with similar research showing that ADHD is linked with poor education outcomes and adult crime, suggest the importance of treating childhood ADHD to foster human capital.

Film: The Bear
The Bear, (also known as L'Ours) is a 1988 adventure film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud (who would years later do Two Brothers). It is adapted from the novel The Grizzly King.After his mother is killed in a freak accident, an orphan bear cub hooks up with a wounded Kodiak bear as they try to dodge human hunters.Not to be confused with Bear, which is a direct-to-video horror film that also features bears.
The film uses the following tropes:
- All There in the Manual: The adult bear is called Kaar and the cub is Youk.
- Badass: Kaar. It comes with being an adult bear.
- Bears Are Bad News: Averted with the cub, but played straight with the hunters.
- Family-Unfriendly Death: The death of the cub's mother as well as several other animals throughout.
- Family-Unfriendly Violence: While a majority of the violence is offscreen, the film tends to get quite gruesome despite its PG rating, showing off mangled horses and a particularly violent battle between Kaar and the hunter's dogs.
- Gentle Giant: The Kodiak towards the cub. The hunters however...
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Kaar mates with a female bear and the scene is obscured by the trees.
- Green Aesop: The ending gives one.
- Humans Are Flawed
- Mercy Kill: One of the hunters has to put down their horse, as well as their dog.
- Mushroom Samba: When the young cub eats some mushrooms, we are given a trippy sequence.
- Nightmare Sequence: The poor cub gets one when he has nightmares of frogs.
- Papa Bear: Take a wild guess.
- Scared of What's Behind You: the cougar is not scared of the cub but of the adult bear behind him.
- The Film of the Book: The film is based on a book from 1916.

It's not going to be the clash of the Hollywood titans some may have expected.
According to Liam Neeson, Mel Gibson doesn't harbor any hard feelings about being replaced by Neeson in a Hangover 2 cameo.
When he was offered a shot at the role, which was first reported to be that of a Bangkok tattoo artist, Neeson says he "didn't realize" it had originally gone to Gibson but eventually had a "very pleasant" conversation with his fellow actor about it.
"I spoke to Mel," he told Access Hollywood Tuesday at the premiere for his new film The Next Three Days. "Mel's cool about it. We're all cool."

Surfers from all over gather here every winter to compete with each other for the title of "the last ride" champion. While surfing the gigantic waves of the Pacific, the three young men each find romance with attractive young ladies (Shelley Fabares, Susan Hart, and Barbara Eden). Ride the Wild Surf features extensive surf footage of the Hawaiian Islands by cinematographer Joseph Biroc. Biroc was credited for a total of five feature productions in 1964. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi
