Don Cherry takes issue with female reporters in male dressing rooms
Don Cherry believes female reporters shouldn't be in male dressing rooms at sporting events. (Michael Peake/QMI Agency/Files)
Don Cherry is at it again.
Nearly a week after his "good buddy" Duncan Keith was embroiled in controversy for a terse comment he made toward a female reporter, Cherry made waves when he came to the defence of the Chicago Blackhawks' blueliner.
"The male reporters went a little nuts and everything like that and now he's a sexist and all that stuff," he started out on Coach's Corner Saturday. "I don't believe women should be in the male dressing room."
You could feel co-host Ron MacLean's anguish as he cringed beside him.
Cherry regaled the audience with a tale of his "first time" with a female reporter in the locker room, saying he was embarrassed to do an interview with naked players walking around.
"I totally think a woman can be in the dressing room," MacLean chimed in. "I do believe a lot of guys take advantage and they are sexist. Duncan Keith wasn't even close. He was hot about the fact she was making a call."
After arguing about equal opportunity in the workplace for a couple of minutes, Cherry finished by stating, "I don't feel women are equal. I feel they're above us. And I think they're on a pedestal. And they should not be walking in when naked guys are walking in and you know some guys take advantage of it. I don't think it should be."
In a post-game interview after last Monday's loss to the Vancouver Canucks, Team 1040 Radio's Karen Thomson told Keith it looked like there was a slash by the defenceman that went undetected by the refs following a Daniel Sedin goal.
"Oh, no. I don't think there was," Keith said. "I think he scored a nice goal, and that's what the ref saw. Maybe we should get you as a ref maybe, hey?
"First female referee. You can't probably play either, right? But you're thinking the game, like you know it? See ya."
Keith's comments were deemed a sexist attack by some in the press and social media while others dismissed the outrage.

(AP) Oregon put on probation, loses scholarship
By JOHN MARSHALL
AP College Football Writer
The NCAA has taken away a scholarship and placed Oregon's football program on probation for three years for recruiting violations under previous coach Chip Kelly.
The NCAA's Division I Infractions Committee released a report on Wednesday that found Kelly and the university failed to monitor the program.
The NCAA has been looking into Oregon's recruiting practices since questions arose over a 2010 payment of $25,000 to Willie Lyles and his Houston-based recruiting service, Complete Scouting Services. Lyles had a connection with an Oregon recruit.
The NCAA also reduced Oregon's official paid visits from 56 to 37 for the next three academic years, reduced its evaluation days for each of the next three seasons and banned the program from using recruiting services during the probation period.

- Ted and his sister Kat are not exactly friends. Ted has a "disorder" which causes his brain to operate on a different system than everyone else's. Their cousin Salim comes to visit them in London and wants to see the city, especially the giant wheel called the London Eye. A stranger offers the three kids a free ticket on the Eye. Since Salim is the guest, he gets the ticket. Ted and Kat watch as Salim goes up in the wheel, but when his capsule comes back down, Salim is gone. How is it possible for someone to vanish from a sealed capsule? Using his unusual brain and memory for details, Ted looks for clues others don't see. As Ted finds clues, Kat moves to action. Their only chance to find Salim is to work together as a team.
- On the eve of his eleventh birthday, Sam goes looking for hidden presents. In the attic of the building where he lives with his grandfather, Sam finds a newspaper clipping instead. Sam has trouble with reading, but he can read the word "missing," and he sees a small boy in the photo. Sam is reminded of something. Was it a dream, or something that happened to him long ago? Suddenly Sam questions his whole life with his grandfather Mack. When he is paired with a girl named Caroline for a school project, Sam begins asking her to help put together the bits and pieces of information

Apple to showcase IoT strategy for home
Keywords:Apple Google Internet of Things WiFi Bluetooth
During this year's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco, Apple is set to unleash its Internet of Things (IoT) strategy for the home. The company will lay out a plan to connect a number of IoT devices such as light bulbs, thermostats, door locks, washing machines and refrigerators, with iPhone.
Apple's iPhone will serve as a screen to set up each of these IoT devices (since some of them are physically too small to have a screen of their own) and automatically connect them to the home network, after which the iPhone becomes the smart home's all-purpose remote control.
EE Times has learned that the key to its execution is a wireless chip, WiFi, Bluetooth or Zigbee, and an MCU, combined with a piece of software that allows each IoT device to be certified as an MFi (Made For iPhone/iPad/iPod) device.
The beauty of the scheme is twofold.
First, it's simple. Consumers no longer need to worry about setting up from scratch a home network of their own. They don't have to think about a hub or which devices may or may not work on their network. They can simply hunt for the MFi label on home appliances and IoT gadgets in the home or at the store. This will assure that they can set up their own smart home and control it from an iOS device.
Second, it's inclusive. There's no need for Apple to build its own refrigerator or thermostat to realise Apple's smart home dream. Nor does Apple need to talk every home appliance or IoT device vendor into using a special software-based automation layer controlled by Apple. All Apple asks is to have each device MFi certified.
The simple connectivity function and MFi certification embedded in each IoT device will do the job of setting up the smart home to be controlled by an iOS device.
In contrast, sure, Google already owns Nest thermostats, but Google's Android OS isn't anywhere close to pulling off a similar smart home network scheme by using an Android phone. Android has no equivalent to MFi. Without it, the Android ecosystem, for now, is running the risk of building a fragmented smart home. Samsung does one thing, while LG does another, that sort of thing.
The MFi scheme would place no limits to what sort of wireless connectivity needs to be used for each IoT device. If it is a door lock, it probably makes sense to use Bluetooth Smart. For a washing machine, or any other appliance plugged into a wall, adding WiFi enables each one to communicate with cloud services through the home network, sending an alert if it breaks down. If light bulbs are set up as part of the network, ZigBee would be the choice of wireless technology.
Earlier this week, the Financial Times broke a story headlined "Apple sees the light in push for Jetsons-style home automation." EE Times has independently verified what are likely to become the building blocks for Apple's smart home plan by speaking to industry sources, although they declined to give their names.

Copyright Settlement Strategies from a Damages Expert
In spring 2007 I had the opportunity to assist a freelance artist in Tallahassee, Florida, to obtain a fair settlement for infringement of seven copyrighted cartoon characters that she owned. The case presented three complications that confounded an otherwise standard analysis of copyright damages that an expert might perform. First, the only available data on licensing fees exchanged between the parties involved transactions from four years prior to the infringement; the underlying agreement was made orally for a "one-time" use. Second, as a consequence of the infringement and the ongoing legal dispute that ensued, the plaintiff lost considerable but nonmeasurable opportunities to market her product in a wide variety of commercial venues. Third, although the infringer was a nonprofit government agency, the party nonetheless obtained considerable value by using the infringing materials in highly visible educational products and web postings.
The nature of the infringement. The plaintiff was a full-time employee for the state of Florida. In No-vember 2001 an associate in the Division of Emergency Management (DEM) requested that she draw a series of cartoons to depict various types of hurricane-related weather conditions typically found in Florida. The cartoons were to be included in the next version of the Hazardous Weather Awareness Guide (HWAG).
The cartoonist submitted a series of drawings that she collectively dubbed the "Weather Bullies." The set included seven cartoon characters that were pictorial embodiments of various weather conditions. She was compensated the orally contracted amount of $250 for a "one-time" use in the year 2002.
The DEM published the cartoon characters in the 2002 edition of the HWAG. Without demanding further payment, the artist then permitted the agency to publish her characters in the next three annual editions of the guide. In September 2004 the plaintiff registered the Weather Bullies drawings with the U.S. Copyright Office.
In November 2005 the DEM contracted with a production company, MediaWise, to materially alter her copyrighted characters and publish (without proper attribution) the modified characters in the 2006 edition of the guide. The artist retained legal counsel and sent "cease and desist" letters to the DEM and MediaWise.
Despite her entreaties, the DEM continued to feature the modified characters in the 2006 edition. The edition credited a MediaWise employee as being responsible for "Weather Bully Illustrations" and identified the plaintiff as responsible only for "Weather Bully Development." The DEM and/or MediaWise then disseminated electronic reproductions of the modified Weather Bullies to various other government entities that displayed the characters on their respective websites.
In October 2006 a DEM attorney informed the artist that the modified characters were now exclusive property of the DEM and would so be used to promote public awareness of the dangers of hazardous weather conditions that arise during hurricanes. In the ensuing litigation, the court granted the artist's motion for a temporary injunction because it was not a "close question" that she was an independent contractor of the agency and "the person who owns the copyright is the person who draws it."
Actual damages as lost opportunities. Under the terms of 17 U.S.C. Section 504(b), a copyright owner/plaintiff may recover the larger of actual damages or profits earned through the infringing work. One conceivable way to measure actual damages would consider the artist's putative losses arising from infringement. It requires calculating the amount of money that she would have earned in alternative markets for use of her property. An alternative way to measure damages is based on the artist's actual history in 2002-2005, which in this case would be the $250 fee that she agreed to accept in exchange for the original use of the work. However, the latter calculation fails to consider the losses related to improper attribution and the greater gain that the artist might otherwise have enjoyed for licensing her recognizable characters in other markets.
The standard for statutory damages. The copyright plaintiff under 17 U.S.C. Section 504(c) alternatively may elect to receive an award of statutory damages. Statutory damages are particularly appealing in instances—such as this one—where actual damages may be difficult or impossible to prove. Although it is not necessary to prove actual damages in order to win a statutory award, the estimated value of actual damages may be considered and factored into the amount of statutory damages. Courts may then consider, inter alia, expenses saved or profits earned by the alleged infringer, revenues lost by the rights holder, alleged infringer cooperation and attitudes, and potential deterrence on future infringers and third parties..

Courts may then consider, inter alia, expenses saved or profits earned by the alleged infringer, revenues lost by the rights holder, alleged infringer cooperation and attitudes, and potential deterrence on future infringers and third parties.
In any valuation, courts also could presumably consider more general values of use, as specified in Deltak v. Advanced Systems, 767 F.2d 357 (7th Cir. 1985). Deltak and Advanced Systems were two competing sellers of books and tapes used to teach data processing. In its marketing effort, Advanced Systems appropriated parts of Deltak's teaching materials and distributed 15 copies of its infringing charts; Deltak sought and received a preliminary injunction. Because Deltak did not preregister its copyright, the valuation issue before the court could involve only the plaintiff's actual damages or the infringer's profits, but not statutory damages. The trial court rejected the plaintiff's claims regarding additional sales that it could have made but for the infringement and found no evidence that the defendant's sales volume increased. Reversing the damage award, Judge Posner in the appellate court awarded the plaintiff an amount equal to the perceived value of use to the defendant. This value of use would be the amount that the infringer saved from not having to create the marketing materials itself. The "value of use" approach is economically meaningful and survived circuit court scrutiny in even the most critical Second Circuit case of Business Trends v. Freedonia (887 F.2d 399, 404), which ruled that "we see no legal barrier to such an award under Section 504(b) so long as the amount of the award is based on a factual basis rather than 'undue speculation.'"
In assisting the cartoonist, I applied the same concept of value of use as a guidepost. As part of its educational efforts, the DEM paid $375,000 (fictitious amount) to a publisher for the production of three children's books that were used in classroom activities related to weather safety. The publisher printed 250,000 copies of each book. As a matter of safety education (the primary, if not exclusive, concern for the agency), it is reasonable to suggest that the seven highly catchy characters—each of which appeared in 850,000 newspapers—were worth at least as much to the state of Florida as the three books that together circulated 750,000 copies. For purposes of settlement, I then presented to both parties the total value of use of $375,000.
The above analysis also fails to take into account the value of any additional grant money that the DEM might have received from the federal government that would assist the design of its website. It also fails to consider the value of public displays of the Weather Bullies during conferences and other highly visible activities that involved the governor and other high-ranking state officials. The willfulness issue is also considerable; the state continually took steps to disregard the plaintiff's rights and thus legally complicated her efforts to pursue commercial opportunities that she might have had.
I understand that the case settled for an amount related to the number that I presented. In the settlement the artist granted to the state a nonexclusive license to continue using the characters in the present use but retained the right to license or otherwise market her works elsewhere. This would allow her to capitalize further on the public recognition of the state's continuing use, a considerable advantage to building product awareness.
This "win-win" settlement was more beneficial to both parties than more limited or costly remedies that might have arisen in litigation. The settlement outcome also went beyond the more restrained procedural techniques that would necessarily have confined a formal expert report presented before the court. In such a manner of dispute resolution, experts can play a general role as negotiators by focusing on practical solutions and steering the parties toward mutual accommodation rather than positional bargaining.

#1 most viewed recipe from my blog. That pretty much confirms that meatloaf is still a popular main dish. Meatloaf isn't easy to photograph. It's a little homely, if you ask me. Until you take a look at the glaze on this version...
What makes this particular meatloaf recipe so special are a few key things-- I use a combination of ground beef, ground pork and ground veal. (I have no idea if this would taste as good using ground turkey. I've never tried it.) For those of you who make the best Italian meatballs...you know exactly what I'm talking about! I cook the onion and garlic, just until softened. I also use fresh marjoram and thyme. Last, but not least, I make my own bread crumbs with my food processor and then whisk together fresh eggs, milk, hot sauce and Dijon mustard. The star of the show is the glaze. Oh, the glaze! It's so simple-- ketchup, brown sugar and cider vinegar. While the meatloaf is cooking, your kitchen will be filled with a savory aroma that will make the men in your house start to ask when dinner is ready. I'm speaking from personal experience.
How do you make this recipe? You can either click here to see step-by-step photos. Or, just scroll to the bottom of this post and you'll a printable recipe card.
If you have a meat-and-potatoes kind of person in your life, make this recipe. They will go back for seconds, and even thirds.
I'm speaking from personal experience. For the record, I ate one-and-a-half slices. That doesn't count as seconds.
The Kitchen Heroine,

There are two things you need to do, both of which will be covered in this tutorial. The first is to set up Google Analytics so that it can recognize the links you'll be creating. The second step will be to use Google Link Builder to actually create the links you'll put inside the SMS messages.
Let's jump right in.
Setting up Google Analytics
The first thing you need to do in order to be able to track your SMS ecommerce links is to make sure your website is set up with Google Analytics.
This analytics service is free to use, easy to use, and easy to install. If you don't have it ready to go, or need a refresher to make sure you've got it right, you can view this tutorial here.
You need to have Google Analytics installed on your website in order to track your ecommerce sales. This means going through the entire process at the tutorial above, including installing the tracking code on all the pages of your site.
If you're using software like Shopify or WordPress, this can be done easily.
Building the links with Google Link Builder
Once you have Google Analytics set up, you need to set up link tracking for your SMS. This is done by adding some code to the end of the URLs you share via SMS. For example, normal URLs will look like this:
When you build your trackable link it will look like this:
It used to be that you'd have to create a custom campaign directly inside Google Analytics in order for this to work, but now all you have to do is create the link with the variables you desire using the Google Analytics Link Builder tool.
Here's how to do it. First click this link to get to the Link Builder. It looks like this:
In this form, there are four things you have to fill out in order for the URL to work correctly. First is the website URL. This is the URL you are going to be sharing via SMS. So for example: http://yourwebsite.com/therealfriggendeal.
The second part you need to fill out is the campaign source. The best bet for this is to name it SMS, since that is the source of the links you are creating. It could also be a particular list name, so if you have a list called SMScustomer1, that could be the source as well.
This will tell Google Analytics to create that source the first time it sees an incoming visitor from a link with that source attached to it.
Third, you need to fill in the campaign medium. This will probably also be SMS, since that is the medium you're using.
Next, is the Campaign Name. You should create something unique that will tell you when this link was created, and what product it relates to. So for example: juneshoes.
Chances are over time you'll want to create more than one campaign on this URL/product, so creating a campaign that is unique to the time, is the best way for you to keep track of which campaigns are the most successful.
If you were to stop there and click Submit, you'd be done, and that is really all you need. However, let's talk a bit about the other options you have here:
- Campaign term. This is more suited towards keyword marketing, which more pertains to advertisements than it does with SMS marketing.
- Campaign Content. This is a handy little tag that will allow you to distinguish between two or more links. So if you have two links that are exactly the same except for their location in the text message, but need to differentiate between them, add a descriptor here and you'll know which link was clicked on. This can be as simple as toplink and bottomlink.
Once you have the required fields filled out, hit the submit button.
When you hit that button your URL will appear underneath it:
Simply copy and paste that into your SMS message and hit send.
Note: It should be noted that all the fields are case sensitive, so there is a difference between a source of 'sms' versus one of 'SMS'.
Drive more sales from SMS
This is a great way to find out who is clicking on your links, where they are clicking from, and when. So for example, say you have two different ideas for a Smart SMS newsletter - a "Happy Thanksgiving" and a "Cyber Monday" theme.
Using the campaign method above, you can create two different URLs that will be tracked when someone from one of those SMS campaigns clicks on one of your links. This will help you determine which of your marketing campaigns are bringing in more sales, which bring window shoppers and which get ignored.
Measuring like this (or using advanced tools like Kissmetrics or SparkPage) will help you get much smarter about your SMS marketing and help you use it to grow sales over the long term.

great post, is there any SMS services that are well regarded in the industry and at what sort of cost per message
Thanks Ian!
Really depends what you're looking for. If you're the programming type, check out Twilio or Nexmo to embed sms into your website or application.
If you want something cheap and cheerful, try clickatell or textlocal at €0.065 (I think around 8p in the UK)
SparkPage.com will do all of the above for the same price as textlocal and automatically integrate tracking on sales, phone calls and leads that SMS generate. We're only working with select companies right now as we roll out the service, but if you want to click "request a demo" on the home page I'll get in touch.
very crisp and very innovative.. great post
As has already been mentioned, there are plenty of professional SMS marketing services that will give you accurate results in a much easier way. However, it's better to go for one of the more established companies. The one mentioned above "SparkPage" contains very little information about services on offer or price etc.
Try someone like www.redsms.co.uk. They give you the cost up front, have lots of features to help with marketing compaigns, the ability to monitor you campaign performance and have worked with both big companies such as DW Sports Fitness and small, local companies and organisations.
Great to see this article, we've been doing this for two years at www.firetext.co.uk and have seen lots of successful campaigns.
We go one step further in terms of tracking response by providing the technology to track URLs which are unique to each recipient, so not only will we tell you 'how many' but also who, what and when.
Very interesting article and something we have tested ourselves, as an SMS provider - http://esendex.com.au/
I would add just a couple things to this article.
You can use a URL shortening service like http://bit.ly (tested) as this hides the details and shortens the number of characters needed, it also allows analytics to capture all the details you stored in the original URL.
Also, make sure you know the SMS laws of your country, in Australia you must include an OPT-OUT on all marketing messages, regardless of whether you have permission to send.
Very interesting post Peter.
Just one thing I noticed in the post that might confuse readers. You mention the "Google link builder" where I believe it's called the "Google URL builder". People might confuse it with link building, the SEO technique of building backlinks to your site in order to rank better in search results.
Hi there! Great post but I have a doubt... I understand by creating different URLs we can understand which of our SMS campaigns is working well for us in terms of clicks to the websites but can we fathom which one resulted in app downloads?

Garrett Hedlund's attempts to woo girlfriend Kirsten Dunst on a moonlit canoe ride ended in disaster when the boat capsized.
Hedlund arranged the romantic gesture in the early days of their courtship, but the stunt ended badly when the pair was forced to swim to shore through fetid water after they were thrown overboard.
He tells New York Post gossip colum Page Six, "It was not a stable canoe. We fell out and had to swim back in mucky water... like golf-pond water."
Dunst eventually forgave the TRON: Legacy star for the blunder and they have now been dating for a year.

Winemaker Notes
Blend: 60% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
With a winning combination of cool weather, high elevation, and well-draining soil, it is no surprise that Mendoza's Uco Valley is one of the most exciting up-and-coming wine regions in Argentina. Healthy, easy-to-manage vines produce low yields of high-quality fruit, which in turn create flavorful, full-bodied wines with generous acidity.
This is the source of some of the best Malbec in Mendoza, which can range from value-priced to ultra-premium. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Chardonnay also perform well here.
One of the world's most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World, especially in California, Washington, and Australia. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and/or Petit Verdot, these are sometimes referred to in the US as "Meritage" blends. In Bordeaux itself, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates in wines from the Left Bank of the Gironde river, while the Right Bank focuses on Merlot. Often, blends from outside the region are classified as being inspired by one or the other.
In the Glass
Cabernet-based, Left-Bank-styled wines are typically more tannic and structured, while Merlot-based wines modeled after the Right Bank are softer and suppler. Cabernet Franc can add herbal notes, while Malbec and Petit Verdot contribute color and structure. Wines from Bordeaux can be bold and fruit-forward or restrained and earthy, while New World facsimiles tend to emulate the former style. In general, Bordeaux red blends can have aromas and flavors of black currant, cedar, plum, graphite, and violet, with more red fruit flavors when Merlot makes up a high proportion of the blend.
Perfect Pairings
Since Bordeaux red blends are often quite structured and tannic, they pair best with hearty, flavorful, and fatty meat dishes. Any type of steak makes for a classic pairing. Equally welcome with these wines would be beef brisket, pot roast, braised lamb, or smoked duck.
Sommelier Secret
While the region of Bordeaux is limited to a select few approved grape varieties, the New World is free to experiment. Bordeaux blends in California may include Syrah, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, or virtually any other grape deemed worthy by the winemaker. In Australia, Shiraz is a common component.

Usually, when i do a back-roll, i will adjust the kite to optimum position
then carve up-wind off my back foot, to bring the board & body around
as i sheet-in the bar. I do the same for both the TT and surfboard.
OK-- here's the problem :
the Left leg has more stability than the Right one, (cause the stump is longer)
so when i do a back-roll while going to the left, it's the Right leg that initiates the
carve up-wind . I basically never know exactly how much energy i'm placing in
the turn to trigger the back-roll , till After i'm in the air. It makes doubles kinda
hard to rely on the landing rotation and as a result, i only land about 60% of
all my doubles. Single back-rolls are near 100% landed each time on both
the TT and surfboard.
It really shows the instability of the Right leg when i'm snow-skiing ; anyone
who skies i'd appreciative a comment on how to make a better turn on the
snow, cause it will Definitely help me with the kite boarding. The Right ski
is kinda wobbly, and doesn't track as well as the Left one, as you will see in
the video.
If Ya know another way to initiate a back-roll with the Kite-board, other than
stomping on the rear foot, what's the secret ?

The 2012 guidelines for Preservation and Access Research and Development grants are now available. You will also find sample project descriptions, sample narratives, and a list of frequently asked questions. The deadline for applications is May 16, 2012.
These grants support projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing access to humanities collections and resources. Challenges include the need to find better ways to preserve materials of critical importance to the nation's cultural heritage—from fragile artifacts and manuscripts to analog recordings and digital assets subject to technological obsolescence—and to develop advanced modes of searching, discovering, and using such materials.
For the past five years awarded projects have helped to forward the field of preservation through the development of open source technologies and enhancing our understanding of the preservation needs of audio/visual materials.
All applications to the NEH must be submitted through Grants.gov. See the application guidelines for details.
NEH especially encourages applications that address digital preservation, recorded sound and moving image collections, and preventive conservation.
For more information, contact the staff of NEH's Division of Preservation and Access at 202-606-8570 and preservation[at]neh[dot]gov.

Our goal was not only to build a powerful CRM for managing sales leads but more importantly, to provide a safe b2b marketplace where lead buyers and lead sellers can come together to conduct their business.
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 07, 2013
On January 7th, 2013, The Lead Tree launched a lead management CRM with an online auction where lead sellers can bid and compete for customer accounts. Not only does this new system help users organize and manage sales leads but it brings lead buyers and lead sellers together in a safe moderated environment. "It's like Salesforce.com and Freelancer.com put together in one system", says Zack Williamson, The Lead Tree founder.
The new lead management software has two major functions. First and foremost, it's a CRM for managing sales leads through the closing process. This online software has all the bells and whistles as SalesForce.com or Leads360.com but its much easier to use and best of all, its completely free.
The second feature is an open auction where lead buyers can publicly post lead orders along with their requirements so lead sellers can browse through the listings and make a bid or an offer to fulfill the requested order.
TheLeadTree.com already has over 10,000 registered members using their previous version of the CRM and with these updates and the addition of the new lead auction, they are expecting that number to increase exponentially in 2013. "This is a bold move for the company", says Williamson. He went on to explain how this actually changes their business model from being a lead generation company to strictly being a software company. "The goal was not only to build a powerful CRM for managing sales leads but more importantly, to provide a safe b2b marketplace where lead buyers and lead sellers can come together to conduct their business."
The Lead Tree CRM allows lead sellers and lead buyers to earn ratings and reviews each time they transact with another member. These ratings and reviews are displayed publicly on the user's profile and is designed to help prevent dishonest and unscrupulous activity.
Currently TheLeadTree has members searching for insurance leads, mortgage leads, merchant cash advance leads, B2b leads, appointment setting and much more. The lead generation types include but are not restricted to telemarketed leads, internet leads, direct mail leads, marketing lists as well as live transfer leads and appointment setting. Other features include social networking, SMS messaging and an appointment scheduler to make sure important meetings are not missed.

Frequently Asked Questions Of The Office Of Evaluation and Assessment
Q. What is the purpose of the statewide assessments?
A. The purpose of New Jerseys state assessments is to promote and measure educational achievement, by helping to show how well New Jersey schools are doing in helping students achieve the Core Curriculum Content Standards (CCCS) at each benchmark grade level. Score reports are useful in helping pinpoint weaknesses not only for the individual student but also at the programmatic level for the school or district. Educators throughout the country are committed to the principle that regular assessments are essential to informing meaningful and progressive educational practice. That commitment is embodied in both federal and state law. A "high stakes" or "gateway" test such as the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) is intended to ensure that New Jersey students have the knowledge and skills they need in order to take full advantage of the opportunities that await them upon graduation from high school.
Q. How are the assessments developed?
A. The statewide assessments are developed through an intensive collaboration among NJDOE assessment specialists, New Jersey classroom teachers and administrators, and a testing vendor (such as Pearson Educational Measurement, ETS, Measurement Incorporated, Harcourt Assessment, Riverside Publishing and others). The testing vendor is chiefly responsible for the production, distribution, scoring, and reporting of the assessments, but the actual test content is closely supervised by NJ DOE staff and committees of New Jersey educators who ensure that every test question or "item" as they are usually called -- is aligned with New Jerseys Core Curriculum Content Standards, grade appropriate, fairly and clearly presented, and devoid of any bias that would disadvantage one or more subgroups of test-takers. The tests comprise a combination of multiple choice and open-ended items. Every item is field-tested before it is used on a regular statewide test. Statistics about the "performance" of that item are carefully reviewed by the NJDOE for signs of weakness in item construction or fairness and weak items are eliminated or revised.
Q. Who scores the state assessments?
A. The statewide assessments are scored by the states testing contractors. Multiple choice items are scored by high-speed optical scanners; the open-ended items are scored by trained readers employed by the contractor. All such scorers possess, at a minimum, a college degree in an appropriate discipline. Furthermore, they receive rigorous training and supervision to ensure consistency and accuracy, based on the scoring rubrics developed by the NJDOE content specialists and committee members. The NJDOE administers regular quality control reviews to ensure that the test scores are valid and reliable.
Q. Why cant parents or teachers see the tests, or see them after our children have taken them?
A. The test development process summarized above is rigorous and highly technical, requiring a significant fiscal investment by the state, and, ultimately, by its citizens. To reduce costs, New Jersey reuses its test items over several years. This means that the security of most test content must be maintained. Releasing the text of the annual assessments would require the development of totally new tests each year, which would be prohibitively expensive. However, fully representative sample tests for most programs have been released by the state in printed and electronic form. Test specifications and other informational materials, also available on the DOE Web site, contain numerous illustrative examples of test questions for each grade and content area.
Q. Which subject areas are tested by the state, and at which grade levels?
A. As of 2005, New Jersey administers assessments in mathematics and language arts literacy (which includes writing as well as reading) at grades 3, 4, ,8, and high school (11/12). In addition, science assessments are administered in grades 4 and 8. In 2006, the NJDOE will be administering assessments in mathematics and language arts literacy at grades 5, 6, and 7 but they will be field-tests only. They will become regular operational assessments starting in 2007. Finally, a science component will be added to the HSPA starting in 2007.
Q. Dont statewide assessments encourage "teaching to the test"?
A. The statewide assessments are aligned to New Jerseys Core Curriculum Content Standards (CCCS). If schools and teachers are using the CCCS as the basis for classroom instruction, then there should be no problem of a distorted "teaching to the test" since, by design, teaching to the test would mean teaching these standards.
Q. What allowances are made for the particular needs of special education and limited English proficient students?
A. A wide range of accommodations are afforded limited English proficient (LEP) and special education students during the administration of the statewide tests. These accommodations may range from more time or the use of a dictionary to the provision, in the case of vision-impaired students, of a Braille form of the test booklet. Detailed descriptions of the accommodations and related policies are included in assessment informational materials and on the DOE web site. In addition, a portfolio-based assessment, the Alternate Proficiency Assessment (APA), has been developed to measure the progress of students with severe cognitive disabilities.

It was the concept of thinking bigger than just a class, bigger than just a major that has guided and really been helpful to me in my career. I've had more experiences in my career than I could have ever expected a little girl from the tiny town of Dresden, Ohio to get to do. I've had to think big. Those Integrative Studies courses and seeing how things connected and all worked together really paved the way. Julie Longstreth Moorehead '95 Founder of Growth Solutions Ltd. and recipient of the 2012 Otterbein Young Alumni Award for Professional Achievement

For example, in the dyad, "A Sense of Place: An African Experience," you'll explore the biological uniqueness of African countries while also considering connections to the habit and history of the great apes. The dyad culminates in true interdisciplinary and integrative learning.

Shine Automatique
Hydrating Lip Shine
Automatic brilliance
Indisponible -
A concentration of sparkles and colours in just one flick!
A light-reflecting cocktail, made of various shimmering pearly particles, tone-on-tone, contrasting, red, blue or golden, which boosts lips with subtly sparkling scintillation. Thanks to its crystal pigment, Shine Automatique brings out all the dazzle of colour!
Lips are soft, smooth and deliciously glossy.
The 12 shades of the Shine Automatique range come in beige, pink, red and orange tones. As a homage to the history of Guerlain fragrances, each shade bears the name of a cult creation of the house.
Inspired by the legendary Rouge Automatique from 1936, Shine Automatique is nestled in a jewel case, a golden tube that opens and closes with one flick.
The light, delicate scent of a vanilla "floriental" leaves its incomparable mark on Shine Automatique. Top notes sparkle with a lemon, orange and bergamot accord. The rose and iris heart exudes sweetness. The vanilla and tonka bean dry-down gives Shine Automatique all of its intensity.
Apply directly to the lips daily or, for a more sophisticated look, apply using a brush after outlining the lip contour with the Guerlain Lip Liner.

One is for patients who are already taking valproate (Depakote®); the other is for patients who are already taking carbamazepine (Tegretol®). Lamictal® XR™ Tablets (extended release): 25mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg Generic Name : lamotrigine (la MOE tri jeen) Medication class: mood stabilizer, anticonvulsant All FDA Black Box Warnings are at the end of this fact sheet. Please review before taking this medication. What is Lamotrigine and what does it treat? Lamotrigine is a medication that works in the brain to treat bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression). It is also approved for the treatment of seizure disorders. Bipolar disorder involves episodes of depression and/or mania. Symptoms of depression include: Depressed mood – feeling sad, empty, or tearful Feeling worthless, guilty, hopeless, or helpless Loss of interest or pleasure in normal activities Sleep and eat more or less than usual (for most people it is less) Low energy, trouble concentrating, or thoughts of death (suicidal thinking) Psychomotor agitation ('nervous energy') Psychomotor retardation (feeling like you are moving in slow motion) Symptoms of mania include: Feeling irritable or 'high' Having increased self esteem Feeling like you don't need to sleep Feeling the need to continue to talk Feeling like your thoughts are too quick (racing thoughts) Feeling distracted Getting involved in activities that are risky or could have bad consequences (e.g. excessive spending) What is the most important information I should know about Lamotrigine? Bipolar disorder requires long-term treatment. Do not stop taking lamotrigine even when you feel better. Only your healthcare provider can determine the length of lamotrigine treatment that is right for you. Missing doses of lamotrigine may increase your risk for a relapse in your mood symptoms and increase the risk of side effects when you take it. Do not stop taking lamotrigine or change your dose without talking to with your healthcare provider first. In order for lamotrigine to work properly, it should be taken every day as ordered by your healthcare provider. Are there specific concerns about Lamotrigine and pregnancy? If you are planning on becoming pregnant, notify your healthcare provider to best manage your medications. People living with bipolar disorder who wish to become pregnant face important decisions. This is a complex decision since untreated bipolar disorder has risks for the fetus as well as the mother. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of treatment with your doctor and caregivers. Lamotrigine has been associated with an increased risk of oral clefts. There may be precautions to decrease the risk of this effect. Discontinuing mood stabilizer medications during pregnancy has been associated with a significant increase in symptom relapse. Regarding breastfeeding, caution is advised since lamotrigine does pass into breast milk. What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Lamotrigine? Symptoms of your condition that bother you the most If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself Medications you have taken in the past for your condition, whether they were effective or caused any adverse effects If you experience side effects from your medications, discuss them with your provider. Some side effects may pass with time, but others may require changes in the medication. Any other psychiatric or medical problems you have All other medications you are currently taking (including over the counter products, herbal and nutritional supplements) and any medication allergies you have Other non-medication treatment you are receiving, such as talk therapy or substance abuse treatment. Your provider can explain how these different treatments work with the medication. If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding If you drink alcohol or use illegal drugs How should I take Lamotrigine? Lamotrigine is usually taken 1 or 2 times daily. It may be taken with or without food. Typically patients begin at a low dose of medicine and the dose is increased slowly over several weeks. The dose usually ranges from 25 mg to 200 mg. Only your healthcare provider can determine the correct dose for you. Extended release tablets: Swallow whole. Do not crush, chew or split tablets. Lamotrigine orally disintegrating tablets must remain in their original packaging. Open the package with clean dry hands before each dose. Do not try to put tablets in a pillbox if you take the orally disintegrating tablets. Lamotrigine orally disintegrating tablets will dissolve in your mouth within seconds and can be swallowed with or without liquid. Use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication. You may also ask a family member a friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are taking your medication. What happens if I miss a dose of Lamotrigine? If you miss a dose of lamotrigine take it as soon as you remember, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. Do not double your dose or take more than what is prescribed. If you miss more than 3 days of medication, contact your prescriber because he/she may need to adjust your dose. What should I avoid while taking Lamotrigine? Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking lamotrigine. They may decrease the benefits (e.g. worsen your symptoms) and increase adverse effects (e.g., sedation) of the medication. What happens if I overdose with Lamotrigine? If an overdose occurs call your doctor or 911. You may need urgent medical care. You may also contact the poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. A specific treatment to reverse the effects of lamotrigine does not exist. What are possible side effects of Lamotrigine? Common Side Effects Nausea, insomnia, runny nose, non–serious rash, headache, diarrhea, abnormal dreams and itchy skin, feeling dizzy, drowsy or physically tired (fatigued) Rare Side Effects A serious, life threatening rash (also known as Stevens–Johnson Syndrome) may occur with the use of lamotrigine. Extra caution is needed in patients who are younger than the age of 16 and receiving lamotrigine. These patients may be at an increased risk of developing this life threatening rash. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you develop a skin reaction, fever, swelling, or shortness of breath. Seizures may occur if a patient taking lamotrigine suddenly stops taking it. Serious Side Effects Studies have found that individuals who take antiepileptic medications including lamotrigine have suicidal thoughts or behaviors up to twice as often than individuals who take placebo (inactive medication). These thoughts or behaviors occurred in approximately 1 in 550 patients taking the antiepileptic class of medications. Aseptic meningitis has been identified as a very rare but serious side effect of lamotrigine. It has been reported in less than 1/100,000 people taking lamotrigine. Contact your healthcare professional immediately if you experience headache, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck, rash, sedation, confusion or abnormal sensitivity to light while taking lamotrigine. Are there any risks for taking Lamotrigine for long periods of time? To date, there are no known problems associated with long term use of lamotrigine. It is a safe and effective medication when used as directed. What other medications interact with Lamotrigine? The following medications may increase the level and effect of lamotrigine: valproic acid/valproate/divalproex (Depakene®/Depakote®/Depakote ER®) The following medications may decrease the level and effect of lamotrigine: Anticonvulsants such as phenytoin (Dilantin®), carbamazepine (Tegretol®/Carbatrol®/Equetro®), and phenobarbital Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) Rifampin (Rifadin®), ritonavir (Norvir®) Lamotrigine may increase the levels and effects of clozapine How long does it take for Lamotrigine to work? It is very important to tell your doctor how you feel things are going during the first few weeks after you start taking lamotrigine. It will probably take several weeks to see big enough changes in your symptoms to decide if lamotrigine is the right medication for you. Mood stabilizer treatment is generally needed lifelong for persons with bipolar disorder. Your doctor can best discuss the duration of treatment you need based on your symptoms and illness. Summary of FDA Black Box Warnings Serious skin rashes requiring hospitalization and discontinuation of treatment have been associated with lamotrigine. Although rare, this rash (also known as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome) can be life threatening. It has been reported in 0.08%to 0.13% of adult patients and up to 0.8% of pediatric patients taking lamotrigine. The rash usually occurs in the first 2-8 weeks of treatment. The risk of rash increases with use of Depakote®; rapid increases of lamotrigine dose; and age 16 years. Provided by the College of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists (January 2013)

Rob Pattinson Is Praised & Slammed In 'Water For Elephants' Reviews — Are These Critics Too Mean?
Robert Pattinson's performance in Water for Elephants is getting mixed reviews! Will you go see the movie anyway, despite what the negative critics say?
We have all been anxiously awaiting seeing Robert Pattinson perform alongside Academy Award winners Christoph Waltz and Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants, and tomorrow the wait is over! Unfortunately, movie critics who have already seen the film have released their reviews and while some praise Rob as "entirely convincing", others are calling him "woefully untalented", "lifeless" and "dull". Ouch! Are they being too harsh?
Critics are very split on whether Rob's performance and the movie itself are entertaining, or utterly boring. The Associated Press says "Witherspoon and Pattinson are a three-ring snooze-fest together", calling Christoph the "lone attraction" who highlights how "dull" Reese and Rob are. They go as far as saying, "The movie is a long, long way from the greatest show on Earth; at best, it might be the greatest show in your local theater, assuming it's the only film playing there."
The Huffington Post is even crueler to Rob, completely panning him in their review. Not only do they call Rob "woefully untalented" they say the "dreadful" movie "rests on the head of the sleepy-eyed Pattinson, an actor so lifeless that you keep expecting someone to put a mirror to his nostrils. Oh wait – wrong movie." The attack doesn't stop there: "Pattinson had better hope that someone writes a whole bunch more of the Twilight novels because once those movies run out, his string as a movie star is probably up. He has no discernible talent as an actor, beyond a bedroom gaze that seems to express very little of what's on his mind." Can you believe it? Poor Rob!!
The Chicago Tribune is nicer in its review, saying the movie is "Like 'The Notebook,' but with an elephant." The review attempts to compliment Rob while somehow simultaneously insulting him: "Waltz's archetypal villain cannot help but steal focus when he's on-screen, partly because of the abuse of which the character is capable, partly because Waltz is just so damned interesting to watch. That's more than can be said for Pattinson, who is easy to take without having yet made a single surprising or provocative choice as an actor. Yet he, too, is at least in there working his two or three notes hard, and often effectively." We think there was a compliment in there somewhere.
Moviehole is very positive about Rob's performance, saying he matches Christoph and Reese "scene for scene." "Who knew this kid could act?? Well done young man," it proclaims."
Finally, the Hollywood Reporter provides us comfort. "Looking 300 per cent better than he did in his last non-'Twilight' outing, 'Remember Me,' Pattinson is entirely convincing as Jacob, a Cornell veterinary school student who escapes from the ruin provoked by his parents' untimely death by almost inadvertently joining the circus.' Unfortunately they still think "the vital spark that would have made the drama truly compelling on the screen is missing."
The reviews are still pouring in so there's still a chance for more positive opinions. But we are shocked by how harsh these critics are towards the Hollywood heartthrob. Are you upset at their cruel comments? Are you going to see the movie despite what they say? And how do you predict Rob will be on film alongside Christoph and Reese? Sound off below!

[WINNER TV] Weekly Highlight #8 WINNER's 'The Inheritors'
[WINNER TV] In this week, an episode is filled with the parody of 'The Inheritors', the drama that got loved by lots of people. I think it was a moment where our noses get a little bit ticklish and smiles come out automatically as we were watching the stories that WINNER members have prepared with lots of effort from preparation process to real version, and to making film. What would be the reason we felt humiliation for some reason to girly disguises of two members.. We only make a careful assumption as we think that there might be viewers who occasionally agree with us even without saying a word.
Now, only 2 episodes are left. As the story have passed the middle and is heading to the end, we come to think about what we can do to make the stories wrap up much more nicely. I guess the only answer for sure is more viewers getting to know WINNER through [WINNER TV] and I wonder if there are any other answers. You guys are going to join us for the rest of the stories, right?
While [WINNER TV] is on air, you guys can enjoy the best scenes every week through NAVER STARCAST.

Jin Woo, who cannot show his anger, got the role of Rachel, the role of someone who cannot control the anger! 'Song' Young-do's incredible acting using the eyebrows. The real version of the parody! Also, a making film that is filled with playfulness but also seriousness at the same time! Meet all these right now~!

The best scene out of best scene of 'The Inheritors' in [WINNER TV]!
Video #2. Imitating CEO Yang that is much more natural than real CEO Yang?!
An emergence of cameo that nobody expected. Seungri's imitation of CEO Yang reached its maximum!! His relaxed attitude of imitating CEO Yang while wearing CEO Yang's hat and even an ad lib! Meet these in WINNER's The Inheritors parody!
Video #3 The fact that big fun is usually in 'making film'!
Bold [WINNER TV]'s 'The Inheritors' that reveal all at once the preparation process, real version and making film. The fact is that exciting stories are usually mostly in the making film!
