45. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
goink May 1, 2012 1:41 PM (in response to Namrur)Namrur,
>>They didn't wrote anywhere that after 0035 update the board will not work with i5 2500k !<<
If you browse to:
You can verify what processor and board and BIOS combinations are supported.
I am an end user (not affiliated with Intel). Though I had difficulty installing BIOS 0035 on the DZ68BC rev. 401, I was able to install this BIOS revision and I am able to run it with my i5-2500K (SR008).
46. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
Namrur May 1, 2012 3:49 PM (in response to goink)It says DZ68BC is supported by 0020... while 0020 is the first BIOS rev.
If we got our motherboard with rev. 0027, how can someone take this info
seriously, and to understand that 0028 will work, but 0035 won't?
Any way, they were not saying this at the page of DZ68BC BIOS.
I never so the page you have linked to me before. If I would, maybe I will
try to check with them if this is a TYPO, or valid instruction. I have a feelingthey would say to me what any brand BIOS download page is says:
Don't update you BIOS, but just if you must". Well, if everyone would actas this instruction says, we all may still using rev. 0020!
Actually, the fact that many members has installed this 0035 BIOS on their
"unsupported" CPU, says how much this instruction was clear to Intel users. -

goink May 1, 2012 3:57 PM (in response to Namrur)>>It says DZ68BC is supported by 0020... while 0020 is the first BIOS rev. If we got our motherboard with rev. 0027, how can someone take this info seriously, and to understand that 0028 will work<<
0020 is the "Min. BIOS Version" required, meaning "Minimum BIOS Version". To my understanding this statement means that 0020 and all later versions of the BIOS will include support for the processor in question. This has always been the way Intel has referred to BIOS versions in relation to supported CPUs.
48. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
Namrur May 3, 2012 4:08 PM (in response to rseiler)BIOS page is up again.
With the exact same 0035 BIOS rev. which causes all new issues.
Intersting if it says this the last BIOS rev. for our board and Intel gave up.
Btw, even now it doesn't say 0035 is not for use with Sandy Bridge processorsas Intel representative told me on chat. Very unclear.
49. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
rseiler May 3, 2012 4:14 PM (in response to Namrur)They never did pull it, though it might have appeared that way. For about 3 or 4 days recently, the Download Center in general was messed up. That was corrected a few days ago. All they've done for 0035 from when it was posted last month was to add a rather subtle warning to the page. At worst, that line should be in red; at best, 0035 should have been pulled.
50. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
Jaskis May 8, 2012 4:43 AM (in response to rseiler)Almost one month now since the catastrophical 0035 release and still no action from Intel.
First I was joking that the fix might appear by August. Now I dont consider that as a joke anymore.
DZ68BC is my 9th mobo and first Intel branded. Never before suffered so much from crappy support.
51. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
yamcenutzer May 10, 2012 4:01 AM (in response to Jaskis)Is there any way to keep this thread at the top ?
It seems importatnt to me that all z68 Mobos have issues with the latest BIOS.
Intel has not yet admitted that there is general issue with this BIOS, such that applying it might brick your board.
They seem to only admit, that after applying it, you not be able to overclock something.
The latter also suggests, that they do not feel obliged in any way to provide a fix any time soon.
52. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
aris1978 May 10, 2012 4:41 AM (in response to yamcenutzer)I can't imagine that Intel will provide a solution so late. I am a DZ68DB owner with the same problem and I am waiting with patience 20 Days now. Come on Intel!
53. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
santiagochinas May 11, 2012 12:36 AM (in response to rseiler)I am one more of those affected by the installation of the BIOS 0035. I want to ask someone if they made an attempt to return to the 0028 BIOS installed after 0035 and it worked, because on the website of Intel says it can kill the motherboard. Is there a problem with BIOS return to 0028 after 0035? Thank you all.
PD: Intel, please hurry up with the new BIOS, and make the new "visual BIOS" for DZ68BC!
54. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
stephenb.b.r May 11, 2012 1:14 AM (in response to santiagochinas)Cant go back i tried it says a higer version is installed, then i red intel wrore that the 0035 makes a stractural change thats one of the reasons you cant go back, for me i've been using my mobo with ther turbo boost disabled coz it was showing 5.9GHz on turbo boost so i got scared and disabled it from the bios, its been a month now since i updated.
Intel please where is the fixed bios it better be VISUAL BIOS for the DZ68BC i'll assume thats why its taking long to get it out coz it better be VISUAL BIOS as you claim 0035 made some stractural change on the BIOS of DZ68BC
55. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
santiagochinas May 12, 2012 7:54 PM (in response to rseiler)Please engineers from Intel Corporation:
Solve the problem with the 0035 version of the desktop board DZ68BC.
Many people bought their product (which is high-end), and can not be waiting so long, and lose so much money for a serious error.
It is illogical to expect a new hardware because we like this setup.
If you are working to resolve, at least let us know.
Thanks, James Sonora. -
56. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first - BRICKED MOBO
ghollin Jun 10, 2012 6:01 PM (in response to FritzCat66)I have the same EXACT problem as you and they first chastised me for updating the BIOS when there is a warning for overclocking (if you don't want people to update it then don't put it out there). Then they told me to re-install the BIOS in recovery:
Desktop Boards — Instructions for Recovery BIOS update
Which didn't work.
Now I can't get back in touch with them.
This is the most frustrating thing ever. I have a very nice new computer (my first build) and it doesn't work. Sucks man.
57. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
cprgolds Jul 1, 2012 2:50 PM (in response to rseiler)Add me to the list of those who bricked their MB with this update.
After a week of trying Victor, Alvaro, and Michael's chat suggestions to no avail, Intel RMA'ed the board. I installed 0028 and have no problems whatsoever.
I have been building up systems for about 20 years and this is a first.
Let's hope Intel sees the light and comes clean on this one.
58. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first - BRICKED MOBO
Namrur Jul 28, 2012 7:04 AM (in response to ghollin)You can contact Intel support firstname.lastname@example.com.
59. Re: DZ68BC BIOS 0035 update: you first
Namrur Aug 14, 2012 10:25 AM (in response to rseiler)
They have replaced my 0035 board once a month ago.
It came with 0035 ver. and it did not work form box with my k2500i.
I've contact them again, and they replaced the board for the second time.This time the board came with 0028, and worked, but I had BSODs.
After changing SATA mode from ACHI to IDE, not blue screen anymore.
In the meanwhile, ACCIDENTLY I've boot my Pc when my USB drive conneted.
Because replacement took a few weeks, and I didn't connect my drive to other PC,I forgot that the 0035 BIOS files was still on my USB drive.
Thats was enough for this board. Now third board is a brick, but Intel
said to me they won't replace the board for the third time, so I don'tknow what to do now. I'll try to explain them, but it's already too much for me.
I'm sure I won't buy another Intel motherboard.
I didn't paid $222 for a board that you can never make a BIOS update,
and to stay with a BIOS which is ONE YEAR OLD FOR EVER,
while Intel keep making newer BIOS that will kill this board.
Intel still doesn't get the the fact there is an issue with their BIOS from ver. 0035
with some "older" generation CPUs, which are not IVY, like i2500k.Intel should take this board and built it a two separated BIOS pages.
One for all IVY owner, and one for Sandy Bridge.

Bloomberg Sports Fantasy Baseball 2012 Recap: First Basemen
Twitter: @RobShawSports and @BloombergSports
Bloomberg Sports Anchor Rob Shaw and Analyst Alex Burwasser recap the top five first basemen this fantasy season as well as the top three busts.
5. Albert Pujols, 1B, Angels
In an offseason move that shocked many, Albert Pujols decided to leave St. Louis, his home for a decade where he won two championships, for the bright lights of Los Angeles in Anaheim. To the delight of jilted Cardinals fans, Pujols got off to a rough start for the Angels, even hearing some cat calls in his home park, but he more than made up for it over his final 105 games where he hit .319 with 26 home runs and 86 RBI. You can make a case that he may not be as dominant a hitter as he once was but he still put up his typical 30-HR, 100-RBI season, which always has fantasy value.
4. Billy Butler, 1B, Royals
Billy Butler has always been a very productive hitter throughout his career for the Royals but has consistently flown under the radar because he plays in relative obscurity in Kansas City. However, this year he was the subject of a national controversy when Robinson Cano decided not to pick him for the Home Run Derby in front of his home fans at Kauffman Stadium. Butler took the high road and did the talking with his bat the rest of the year when he finished with 29 home runs and 106 RBI, both career highs, all while hitting above .300 at .313.
3. Prince Fielder, 1B, Tigers
Much like Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder moved from the top of the NL Central to the opposite league in the offseason. Fielder signed a massive nine-year contract which left many worrying about the long-term injury risk of signing a man of his size, but his performance in the first year of that deal quieted all the critics when he blasted 30 home runs and knocked in 108 RBI leading the Tigers to their second consecutive AL Central crown. Though Prince has had more powerful years, he hit over .300 for the first time in his career, checking in at a very impressive .313 on the season.
2. Edwin Encarnacion, 1B/3B, Jays
Encarnacion had been a solid player for Toronto since acquiring him from the Reds in 2009, putting up seasons of 20 home runs and a little more than 50 RBI on average in 2010 and 2011. This season, however, he completely obliterated those numbers with 42 home runs and 110 RBI, more in each category than the previous two years combined. In addition, Encarnacion also improved in other categories, setting career highs in stolen bases (13) and walks (84). What makes this rapid improvement all the more impressive is that he did it without Jose Bautista in the lineup who missed about half the year injured. Next year could be very intriguing for the Jays with those two bats healthy and producing in the middle of that lineup.
1. Miguel Cabrera, 1B/3B, Tigers
There really is not much else you can say about the year Miguel Cabrera had for the American League champion Tigers. He was the first Triple Crown winner since 1967 (led the AL in batting average, home runs and RBI) and he did it before the age of 30! In fact, Miguel Cabrera leads all active major leaguers under the age of 30 in hits (1802), home runs (321), and RBI (1123). We are not sure Cabrera is on his way to his second championship ring this year, but it sure looks like he will be on his way to Cooperstown one day.
3. Mark Teixiera, 1B, Yankees
Every year in his career besides his rookie campaign in 2003, Mark Teixiera has had at least 30 home runs and 100 RBI, but not in 2012 when he hit only 24 home runs and knocked in only 84 RBI. Even more alarming for Teixiera is that he has seen his normally stellar batting average drop season after season. A perennial .280, and some years .300, hitter has not reached those numbers since 2009 when he hit .292. The last three seasons he has not hit above .256 including this year when he hit .251 and had a dreadful on-base percentage of .332. For the Yankees, he provides a lot of value with his defense at first base, but for fantasy owners, his value seems to be slipping fast.
2. Gaby Sanchez, 1B, Pirates
At the beginning of the year, many picked the Marlins and their revamped team with the acquisitions of Jose Reyes and Heath Bell among others to possibly win the NL East. Gaby Sanchez was one of the players set to contribute in the middle of that lineup, but much like the entire team, he was a gigantic disappointment. After the first 55 games of the season while hitting just above the Mendoza line at .202, Sanchez was sent down to the minors and subsequently traded to Pittsburgh. Though he fared better for the Pirates than for the Marlins, he still finished the year with a .217 average and only seven home runs, a huge dropoff from back-to-back 19 home run seasons in 2010 and 2011.
1. Eric Hosmer, 1B, Royals
During Spring Training, there was a lot of buzz around the Royals that they may be the team on the rise given their farm system and dearth of young talent. One of the centerpieces of this renewed hope was Eric Hosmer, and after his rookie campaign in 2011, it was easy to believe given that he hit .293 with 19 HR and 78 RBI in only 128 games. Much like his team, Hosmer severely underperformed his expectations this year hitting .232 in his first full season in the majors with less home runs (14) and less RBI (60). You would hope that this is just your classic sophomore slump for the third overall pick in the 2008 draft and 2013 is a year he can replicate or even outperform his 2011 numbers.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Report: Michael McKenry, Grant Balfour, Josh Vitters, and Erik Kratz
Twitter: @RobShawSports and @BloombergSports
Bloomberg Sports Anchor Rob Shaw breaks down four players who fantasy managers may want to pick up off the waiver wire this week.
Michael McKenry, C, Pirates
The Pirates are trying to stay in contention for the playoffs and they have gotten some help on offense from an unlikely source in McKenry. In 47 games, he's batting .285 with 11 home runs and 28 RBI. He has eight homers in his last 21 games alone. If you need a catcher and McKenry is available, he is a good pickup, though it's unlikely that he will sustain these numbers.
Grant Balfour, RP, Athletics
The A's have had some issues in the bullpen as rookie Ryan Cook has struggled recently. This opens the door for Balfour, who last gave up a run on June 29. He is 2-2 with seven saves, a 2.60 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. The coaching staff has acknowledged that it has to consider moves within the bullpen as the team is in contention, and Balfour is a likely option for the closer role.
Josh Vitters, 3B, Cubs
Vitters was the third pick of the 2007 draft, selected ahead of Matt Wieters, Madison Bumgarner and Jason Heyward. The top prospect made his debut for the Cubs on Sunday. In 110 games at Triple-A, he had a .304 average, 17 home runs and 68 RBI.
Erik Kratz, C, Phillies
Kratz played seven years at Triple-A and had a .288 average with 15 homers last season. He's making the most of his opportunity with the Phillies, batting .379 with four home runs and four doubles in 15 games. Kratz should do well as a backup while Carlos Ruiz is on the disabled list.

Fantasy Baseball Players Getting a Shot: Brown, Olt, Holland, Wallace, and Sanchez
Twitter: @RobShawSports and @BloombergSports
Bloomberg Sports Anchor Rob Shaw discusses five players who are getting a chance to play in the majors and how valuable they may be to fantasy managers.
Domonic Brown, OF, Phillies
With a couple of outfielders on the move, Dominic Brown has returned to the Phillies. The former top prospect hit .310 with 20 doubles in just 65 games in the minor leagues this season. A month shy of his 25th birthday, Brown's window of opportunity is closing, so it makes a lot of sense for the Phillies to give him a shot. If you are in need of some offensive support, Brown should be able to offer a decent average and respectable on base percentage, though the power and speed have not developed the way we thought they would so far.
Mike Olt, 1B, Rangers
A late first-round pick in 2010, Olt is a big-time power hitter who slammed 28 home runs with 82 RBI in 95 games at Double-A this season. He was desired by all teams when it came to blockbuster deals at the trade deadline, but instead the Rangers plan to have him contribute in the big leagues now. This is bad news for Mitch Moreland, who offers great power but has not been given much of a shot to play everyday.
Greg Holland, RP, Royals
A 27-year-old right-hander who throws hard but does not surrender many long balls, Greg Holland picked up his first save on Wednesday night with a 1-2-3 inning. Holland can still get wild at times and is not nearly as dominant as he was a season ago, but the Royals are at least providing him with the opportunity to succeed in the high pressure role of closer.
Brett Wallace, 1B, Astros
It took Brett Wallace more than 330 at-bats to rack up five home runs last year. He already has four this year in fewer than 50 at-bats after blasting two in his last start. Though his plate discipline is lacking, Wallace did offer some power at Triple-A this season while offering a .300 average. The soon-to-be 26-year-old will have every shot to contribute for the remainder of the season with the Astros in what could be his last chance at being an everyday player.
Gaby Sanchez, 1B, Pirates
The Marlins found no more use for the struggling Gaby Sanchez while the Pirates are eager to give him an opportunity. Sanchez has a .200 average with just three home runs this season, but this is a player who hit 19 home runs in back-to-back seasons and was batting .302 with five home runs in 34 games at Triple-A. With Casey McGehee dealt to the Yankees, Sanchez has first base to himself in Pittsburgh.

Fantasy Baseball Prospects on the Rise: Gose, Harvey, Myers, and Marte
Twitter: @RobShawSports and @BloombergSports
Bloomberg Sports Anchors Julie Alexandria and Rob Shaw discuss four players who have made or will soon make their major league debut and could help your fantasy team.
Anthony Gose, OF, Blue Jays
Gose picked up a single in his debut as a pinch hitter against the Yankees on Tuesday. Just 21 years old, he boasts a high on-base percentage and even stole 70 bases a year ago. He is not a power hitter, which is fine for a Toronto lineup with plenty of them. The injury of Jose Bautista opens a door for Gose, who does strike out a little too often for a player most dangerous when on the base paths.
Matt Harvey, SP, Mets
The season-ending injury to Dillon Gee opens the door for Harvey to eventually make his debut. For now, the Mets will go with veteran spot starter Miguel Batista, but General Manager Sandy Alderson did confirm that we will see Harvey this season with the Mets. Harvey has been a bit wild this season but he does miss bats and even hit a home run with a .267 average as a batter at Triple-A.
Wil Myers, OF, Royals
The former catcher is shining bright at Triple-A this season with 15 home runs, 46 RBI and a .313 average through 53 games. The Royals are very much playing for the future and will likely be sellers this summer in order to open up some playing time for Myers. Look for Lorenzo Cain or Jeff Francouer to be on the move to get Myers some Big League at-bats.
Starling Marte, OF, Pirates
The Pirates are a small-market team and usually prefer to upgrade from within. For the first time in a while, they will have that opportunity the second they call up Starling Marte. The outfielder has 11 home runs and 18 steals while batting .292 at Triple-A. Marte is bound to mesh well with Andrew McCutchen as the Pirates look to win the division.

Ballpark Figures: Top Second-Half Storylines
Twitter: @RobShawSports and @BloombergSports
Bloomberg Sports Anchors Rob Shaw and Julie Alexandria discuss the top five stories in baseball after the All-Star break.
Will R.A. Dickey win 20 games?
Baseball fans are trying to figure out if R.A. Dickey is Tom Candiotti or Phil Niekro. At 12-1, Dickey is enjoying a banner season and arguably would be the NL Cy Young award winner if the season ended today. The problem for Dickey is that the season does not end today and he still has about 15 starts to go. Can he possibly continue his dominance and nab another eight wins for an even 20?
Hall of Fame knuckleballer Phil Niekro attained three different seasons with 20 or more wins. On the other hand, Dickey might only win another 3-5 games this season and finish with a solid, but more expected total that is more in line with a solid hurler, such as knuckleballer Tom Candiotti, who won 14, 15 and 16 games in his career.
What becomes of Tim Lincecum?
The good news is that Tim Lincecum is on pace to strikeout 200 batters. The bad news is that he is also approaching 100 walks, which could lead to some time in the bullpen. We've had some surprises this year that fill the bust category. As of now both Jose Reyes and Albert Pujols join a recent trend of major free agents struggling with new franchises.
Lincecum is pitching for the very franchise he came up with and has dominated for the last five seasons. However, he is getting hit often and hard, and with a 3-10 record and 6.42 ERA you have to wonder if he will stick in the starting rotation all season long. Lincecum hasn't made it out of the fourth inning in back-to-back outings.
Where will Zack Greinke end up?
The Brewers have had their struggles and perhaps for that reason, Zack Greinke's performance has gone under the radar. He is 9-3 with 111 K's and a 3.32 ERA. With the Brewers five games out of first place, the team will be in sell mode especially if Greinke does not indicate that he wants to stick there.
So what teams could be interested? How about the Baltimore Orioles, or the St. Louis Cardinals? Greinke's presence could make a world of difference in how this ost-season shapes up.
Are the Phillies buyers or sellers?
The Phillies are in dead last place in the National League East. They opened the season without Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, and now that they are coming back, the pitchers have been out: Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay.
The big question for the Phillies is figuring out whether or not Cole Hamels will stay as a free agent. There have been rumblings that he could be destined to the Dodgers, which would leave the Phillies in a bind if they do not get anything in return for his services aside from draft picks. Hamels, by the way, is 10-4 with a 3.20 ERA with 118 K's and a 1.10 WHIP. He has been the ace for the Phillies this season.
Are the Pirates playoff bound?
The Pirates are in first place late in the season for a second straight year. The question is whether they can stick this time and if they learned from last year's collapse. It looks like they could actually stick this time for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they have an ace with James McDonald boasting a 2.37 ERA with much better control this season. Next, their gamble with AJ Burnett seems to be paying off as he's been a solid number two. Though the starting rotation lacks depth, the bullpen is strong enough to let leads stick.
Finally, on offense there are several solid players, then an MVP candidate in Andrew McCutchen and a potential star in Pedro Alvarez. The Pirates lack some depth, but so far they have been good enough, and with extra wild card spots available, this team could advance.

Fantasy Baseball Weekend Recap: Perez, Young, Thome, Davis, Alvarez, and Hosmer
Twitter: @RobShawSports and @BloombergSports
Bloomberg Sports Anchor Rob Shaw breaks down the weekend in baseball and how it affects your fantasy team.
Martin Perez, SP, Rangers
Perez made his major league debut Saturday night against Oakland. The 21-year-old southpaw had five strikeouts and gave up six hits, one walk and two earned runs in 5.1 innings pitched. He had struggled in the minor leagues this season with a 1.29 K/BB ratio at AAA. However, he has been better in the past and there is reason to be excited about his future.
Chris Young, SP, Mets
Young has only started 13 games since 2010, but his numbers during that stretch are among the best in baseball. He has a 2.19 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, compared to Roy Halladay's 2.60 ERA and 1.05 WHIP and Cliff Lee's 3.00 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. This season, he has started five games, his greatest workload since 2009. The last time he made 20 starts was in 2007.
Jim Thome, Orioles
Thome spent his first 12 seasons with the Cleveland Indians and has since been on seven teams over the last 10 years. Moving to Baltimore allows him to play more regularly as a designated hitter. He has had 40 home runs in 553 at-bats over the last two years and could bring some power to the Orioles' lineup and your fantasy team.
Shaw also discusses three players whose slumps have ended and who are putting up big numbers in recent weeks. First is Mets first baseman Ike Davis, who has six home runs, 24 RBI and a .333 average in 19 games since June 9th. Second, Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez has seven home runs, 19 RBI and a .377 average in 15 games since June 16th. Finally, Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer has a .423 average, one home run and three RBI in his last seven games.

Fantasy Baseball Preview: Edwin Jackson, Erik Bedard, and Yu Darvish
Edwin Jackson is young, durable, and has been a winner with 10-plus wins in each of the last four seasons. The solid track record begs the question why did so many teams pass on him.
The 28-year-old hurler is now on his seventh Major League team and he hasn't played for losers either. He went 5-2 down the stretch for the Cardinals last season, playing a role in the team's World Series Championship.
One of the hardest throwing hurlers in baseball, Jackson has improved his control over the years. His greatest weakness recently is that he is just too hittable. Even in his successful run with the Cardinals the opposition hit .300 against him. The good news is that he keeps the ball in the yards, but for fantasy managers looking for a low WHIP, Jackson is not a solution.
The move to Washington means he'll now don the jersey for his sixth team over the last four years. However, Bloomberg Sports likes his fantasy value. The larger ballpark and National League setting should translate to 170 strikeouts, double-digit wins, and a 4.21 ERA.
Jackson is a fine low-risk, high ceiling option in the later rounds of fantasy drafts. After all, it was just a few years back that he threw a no-hitter while pitching for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Let's see if he can finally sustain such dominance over a full season.
Once one of the hurlers in the most demand in the Major Leagues, Erik Bedard hopes to build on his improvement from last season while joining the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Bedard was a disaster in Seattle. Because of injuries, he never lived up to the hype and while the Mariners traded away top prospect Adam Jones to the Orioles for him, they ended up letting him go for very little in return last season to the Red Sox.
The good news is that Bedard showed that even after all of the injury-ravaged seasons, he still has some potential right now. He offered fine control last season and fanned a batter per inning throughout the year.
A move to Pittsburgh should lead to some good results for Bedard's fantasy managers. Pittsburgh's ballpark plays neutral and he will no longer have to deal with designated hitters in the majority of his starts. Most importantly, he has sustained his health, which is the key to his performance.
BloombergSports.com projects a solid 3.74 ERA and 1 .30 WHIP from the veteran hurler this season, and with some luck he could reach double-digit wins for the first time in five years.
The loss of CJ Wilson could be crushing to the Texas Rangers. Just a year removed from a second World Series, the Rangers lost their ace for a second time. First it was Cliff Lee who bolted to rejoin the Phillies. Now it's Wilson, and while he may not be as dominant as Lee, the fact that he joins the rival LA Angels of Anaheim makes matters worse.
The Rangers were desperate to respond and without many proven stars on the market they had to compete with teams including the Toronto Blue Jays to land Yu Darvish, an ace from Japan. With an enormous bid, the Rangers land the hard-throwing hurler who will enjoy the loftiest expectations by a free agent to join the Rangers perhaps since Alex Rodriguez signed his now infamous $252 million deal.
As far as realistic projections for Darvish, BloombergSports.com offers a 13-8 record, 185 strikeouts, and a 3.63 ERA for the hard-throwing hurler. That makes him the 16th best starting pitcher, and a top-50 fantasy talent.
Despite the lofty projections, there is still a great deal of risk for fantasy managers. After all, Darvish is new to America and will have to adapt culturally to Major League Baseball, plus he calls home to one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the league. He will not get away with many mistakes and the media will be hounding him all season long.

The New Duke of Arizona
By R.J. Anderson //
In 2006, the Pittsburgh Pirates had five pitchers of age 24 or younger combine to account for three-quarters of their season starts. Only one of those pitchers remains a Bucco. Oliver Perez was the first to go, then Tom Gorzelanny and Ian Snell hit the bricks. Now, Zach Duke is a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks, leaving Paul Maholm as the sole survivor.
The Pirates chose to designated Duke for assignment last week rather than hold off and (eventually) non-tender him. The move simply paved the way for Duke to leave the team. The only added benefit was the potential to recoup something in exchange for the rights to Duke. Someone did bite, and as a result the Pirates will receive a player to be named later, which reports peg as a marginal prospect.
The 2009 season represents the apex of Duke's fantasy value. He tossed more than 200 innings of 4.06 ERA ball and won double-digit games. In typical Pirates fashion, the breakout's sequel was a setback. Duke still made 29 starts, but only lasted 159 innings – a little over five innings per start, on average. That's not a good ratio for someone who had averaged more than six innings per start throughout his career, including a career-best 6.7 innings a start in 2009.
The drop in innings was not because of durability or stamina issues, but rather ineffective pitching. His 5.72 ERA was an eyesore. Digging deeper, Duke had nine starts last season where he allowed more than four runs and he allowed more than six runs in six of those starts. He also had seven starts where he allowed multiple home runs and two where he allowed three homers.
Nevertheless, Duke is exactly the kind of pitcher Arizona General Manager Kevin Towers targeted during his time in San Diego. A lefty, Duke throws a mid-to-high-80s fastball with sink on it (resulting in a career groundball rate just a tick below 49%). His changeup sits in the low-80s and he relies heavily on two kinds of breaking balls; a low-70s curve and a high-70s/low-80s slider. The pitches combined for a decent whiff rate the last two seasons, but nothing special.
Pittsburgh plays its games within the friendly dimensions of PNC Park – a stadium with a reputation for limiting right-handed power; which in turn enhanced Duke's ability to pitch. Arizona's Chase Field is geared towards hitters, particularly lefties. Attempting to find similar cases of pitchers who went from Pittsburgh to Arizona (or vice versa) and quantify the trend is impossible. The Diamondbacks are too young to have many common links throughout the league, but even they had standards above the Pirates' rejects.
Expect Duke's hit rate (because pitchers who give up hits on 34.7% of their balls in play simply don't last in the major leagues) and his home run rate (because, again, pitchers who give up homers on nearly 14% of their flyballs never make it this far) to decline. From there, his upside is likely that of a league-average pitcher, with the chance to look slightly better thanks to pitching his road games in some extremely friendly environments. He could be serviceable for the DBacks. But he's unrosterable in all but the deepest fantasy leagues.

We have studied field-and current-driven domain-wall (DW) creep motion in a perpendicularly magnetized Co/Pt multilayer wire by real-time Kerr microscopy. The application of a dc current of density of less than or similar to 10(7) A/cm(2) assisted only the DW creeping under field in the same direction as the electron flow, a signature of spin-transfer torque effects. We develop a model dealing with both bidirectional spin-transfer effects and Joule heating, with the same dynamical exponent mu = 1/4 for both field-and current-driven creep, and use it to quantify the spin-transfer efficiency as 3.6 +/- 0.6 Oe cm(2)/MA in our wires, confirming the significant nonadiabatic contribution to the spin torque.

The Giants have opened a dialogue with the agents for Hunter Pence about a new contract the right fielder told the San Francisco Chronicle before batting practice Friday.
But their other high-profile free agent right-hander Tim Lincecum hasn't heard anything about a new deal. Lincecum told me he checked in with his agent last week and there was nothing new from the club.
Both Pence and Lincecum are represented by the Beverly Hills Sports Council.
Pence didn't elaborate on the tone or substance of talks except to tell the Chronicle that "there are conversations."
The Giants have exclusive negotiating rights with both players until five days after the World Series. Giants GM Brian Sabean has said he plans to tender qualifying offers to both players which would amount to roughly $14 million on a one-year contract. Even though both players almost certainly would refuse the offer would qualify the Giants to receive draft pick compensation if either player signs elsewhere.

Another chart
Here is a chart of the number of words in use after each garbage collection (for MIT/GNU Scheme compiling itself with a heap of 1935360 words):
This is the smallest heap that is big enough for the compilation to complete. The limiting factor seems to be the big spike on the left at about 0.9×109. We obviously wouldn't want to run with the minimum size heap; 3935 garbage collections are needed and almost a third of the total time is spent in GC. But the more frequently you collect, the better resolution you get.

Robin van Persie has been receiving his fair share of plaudits since moving to Manchester United, but they don't come much bigger than being likened to one of the club's all-time greats.
The Netherlands international has scored 15 goals since his £24m summer move from Arsenal, as well as forming a devastating partnership with Wayne Rooney in what has been a seamless transition from the Emirates to Old Trafford.
Despite his huge price-tag, many observers think the 29-year-old is proving a bargain, particularly with United leading second place Manchester City by six points in the Premier League.
Among those lavishing praise has been Sir Alex Ferguson, who has compared him to Eric Cantona.
"He has got a similar profile to Eric in terms of age and maturity. He had a great spell at Arsenal so there is no issue with him needing to settle into the Premier League.
"He came from one big club to another big club and he is an established international. All these things in his profile suited us perfectly."
Cantona arrived from Leeds in 1992 for a fee of just £1m and went on to take United to the echelons of English football, a position they haven't relinquish since. Ferguson believes Van Persie is capable of achieving something similar.
Speaking to yahoo.com, Ferguson said: "I think it is happening, the attacking aspect of our game has definitely improved and of course he has weighed in with 14 goals (now 15) so far. Chicharito has got nine goals, Rooney has seven (now eight) I think and we have scored around 43 goals as a team, which is quite a high amount for this time of year.'

Color blindness: help me understand?
Jul 21, 2011
Color Blindness
I took Trevor for his first eye exam two days ago, and they gave him a color blindness test with the types of color plates as seen in the attached photo. During this eye exam, it was determined that he is farsighted and also has some sort of focusing ability issue, so he has been scheduled to start vision therapy next week. I'm sure to find out more after that first appointment, as right now I can't say that I know much of what's going on with his eyes other than being farsighted.
However, for the color blindness test, which was given to him twice--once before eye dilation and then again after dilation--he failed it the first time but did slightly better after his eyes were dilated. After the first test, the doctor said he was color blind with red and green colors because he could not make out, for example, the number of 6 and 8 in the attached picture (the bottom two circles). He failed to see the numbers, shapes, or lines in five different similarly colored plates during this test. Yet after his eyes were dilated an hour later, he was able to make out some of the numbers, so then the doctor said he wasn't sure...which is why, among other issues, he's referred Trevor to vision therapy, and then doing a re-evaluation of the eye exam in four months with a pediatric opthamologist scheduled to work with him.
I'm having a hard time believing he's color blind. He knows his colors and can pick out whatever color you ask him to from a box of jumbled up crayons or markers. He colors pictures in "rainbows" because he likes all the combinations. Basically, I NEVER in my wildest thoughts and concerns about him would have wondered, is he color blind?
I was wearing a solid light forest green t-shirt yesterday, so I asked him what color my shirt was. He said it was green. I held up a red snack bag of Apple Straws and asked what color the bag was and he said, "It's red." Then I took a real apple that was mostly red and held it so he could see it from the top at the stem, where it had greenish-yellow streaks around the core and stem and asked him what colors he saw. He looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Green and red. Why are you asking me what colors I see?" (the doctor and I hadn't told him he was color blind, and he also wouldn't even know what that meant if we did tell him, hence his confusion).
This morning, I pulled out a "Clifford the Big Red Dog" book and had him look at the cover because there was a leaf pile pictured with the colors red, brown, orange and yellow all mixed together. I showed him the book cover and asked what color leaves were in that pile. He said they're red, brown, orange and yellow almost immediately.
So if he IS color blind, then is it possible for it to not be very severe? I looked it up yesterday and color blindness doesn't seem to have much of a spectrum of severity--either a person is or is not. I'm thinking maybe he just has a problem distinguishing between contrast and saturation of colors, maybe? I mean, when I look at the color plates in the attached picture, it's even a bit difficult for me to find the numbers in the bottom two plates. But I don't think he failed to see the numbers because he couldn't see the colors.
Just wondering if there's anyone out there who is color blind, or who knows more than I do about this, and could give me a little more information.

I have never been told I am colorblind but I do have trouble distinguishing between navy and black. Also, I can't see anything in the last two cirles you have posted. I can see different colors.
Sorry- I know my response doesn't help at all.

Actually I can only see numbers in two of the boxes and one of them is very hard for me to tell what the number actually is.
, Jul 21, 2011
Trying to see the numbers on a computer screen is actually a bit more difficult than having them printed on paper, I will admit--but I wanted to find the closest examples of the colors on the plates he saw on Tuesday.
He could easily find the numbers on the higher contrasted plates, like the first plate with the number 25 and the fourth with the number 56. But like you, I do believe he could see the colors on the plates, he just couldn't distinguish the design within it because the contrast was too light.

My husband is red/green color blind. He can distinguish red and green but it is when it comes to different shades of the colors he has a hard time with figuring out what the color is.
I went with him once to get his eyes checked and they were giving him a color blind test (just like the one you have posted) and I stood behind him while he was doing it and I saw the numbers clearly and he would say a completely different number. We knew he was color blind at the time already (was diagnosed when he was in kindergarten) so I thought he was just messing around with the eye doctor by saying some off the wall number. I started laughing and he didn't understand why I was laughing. The eye doctor then explained to me that when you are color blind you actually do see a totally different number and that is how they figure out what colors you have problems with based on the number you said. It was really interesting.
They did this to him when his eyes were not dilated and also when they were. He failed both times.
I would think your son probably does have a focusing problem since when they dilated his eyes he didn't fail the test. My husband had to fail both times to be told he was color blind.
I wouldn't worry too much until he does the vision therapy and then have him re-take the color blindness test.
When it comes to severity of color blindness, you can be severly color blind (those are the ones that cannot distinguish colors at all and dress themselves all weird!) and then you can be slightly. My husband is slightly red/green color blind. You can also train your eyes to distinguish the colors which he is doing and it is starting to work. He still just has a hard time telling me green from gray and red from brown.
Hope this helped a little. Let me know if you have any other questions!
, Jul 21, 2011
That helps a lot! Thank you, ttcbaby3!
I was really hoping someone with experience with color blind people or a color blind person themselves would find this journal and answer. Mainly, I was wondering if there was a severity level. The little bit of online research I've done hasn't given me much information to know if there can be severity levels, or if it's just something that you either have or you don't and there's no degree of severity involved.
When he took the test before the dilation, he failed it completely--got all the light-colored red/green plates wrong. After the dilation, he only did a little bit better, but he still didn't get all of them correct. I think he started without dilation only getting a total of 5/13 correct of all the plates, and after dilation, it was like 8/13--so not too much of a difference.
I know he'll get a much more thorough evaluation and assessment when he goes to vision therapy next week, so I'm really looking forward to having better answers.

I am assuming that there are different causes for color blindness.
My story is long, and the cause is entirely different than his, but it may give you insight into how the eye works when it comes to color blindness.
I had damage to my right optic nerve due to a brain tumor pressing on it. When my symptoms were bad (before diagnosis), in addition to some visual field deficits, I lost the ability to see those same numbers as your son in the test. The pressure from the tumor damaged the optic nerve. Apparently, other sources of damage to the optic nerve can yield similar results (i was reading up on preemies and eye damage because of one of my students and learned that when preemies are given oxygen, there can be damage to the eye that my result in color blindness). However, I definitely could tell what red and green was. But, if I compared reds and greens between my good and bad eye, the reds seemed more orange in the bad eye, and the greens more yellow. Overall the colors were duller, but still recognizable as red and green. Interestingly, when my eye improved, the color shift returned to almost normal.
I am assuming they tested both of his eyes separately. If you think about how many structures and processes are involved in simply seeing things, it is no wonder that vision problems, including seeing colors, is common. It''s great that this was caught early on so that he can get the therapies that may help him.
, Jul 21, 2011
It's definitely a blessing that his vision issues are being recognized this early. I think it's very possible that all the concerns I was having about him potentially having dyslexia are due to whatever is going on with his eyes. I was about ready to pull my hair out in frustration, knowing something about his learning ability has been "off" for the last year. He is at grade level (he starts first grade in two weeks), but it just seems like it's been much more of a struggle to get him there and maintain his ability to stay at grade level and progress further than it should be. He lacks memory retention when he tries to read on his own and gets things backwards alot in his reading and writing, from seeing and writing mirror images to transpositions of letters in words such as "left" and "felt."
I am really interested to see what we learn from the vision therapy.
Also, glad to hear your brain surgery and recovery have gone so well, tiredbuthappy! :-)

I tested as blue-green color vision "deficient" when I was 18.
I can see a 25 in the upper left and I think it's a 56 at center right, otherwise, I see no numbers.
I confuse shades that are close very readily, bought a pair of what I thought were gold "yoga" pants, which are neon green, my favorite brown "bush hat" is actually olive green, my nice pearl grey dress shirt is hot pink ,-) and so on...
I can see all the colors quite well, if they aren't too close and there is good contrast. I see them better while wearing blue-blocker sunglasses, which lead my eye doctor to think that I have too many blue receptors in my retina.
54 years of this, and I get along just fine. When we buy things for the house, Anita and I always go together. I have a much better fashion sense that she (her words) but her color detection is perfect. We make a good pair.
Hope Trevor is doing better with the other health issues, and it sounds like his ability with colors is just fine.
, Jul 29, 2011
Well, here's the update from his vision therapy assessment yesterday:
His report from the eye doctor says he is red/green color deficient, but the vision therapist didn't test him further because they didn't have the color plates or any other color blindess tests available at their clinic. So for now, I guess we'll just go by the doctor's diagnosis, which isn't such a tragedy--I was just wanting to understand it better, so thank you to all who contributed.
As for his vision abilities that were determined by the therapy session--now that's not the greatest news. Apparently, he's on the verge of disability.
He has almost no tracking ability (doesn't move his eyes effectively to focus on things back and forth or up and down); he's in the 5th percentile in his ability to do that. Whenever he had to track something, he'd move his head, not his eyes.
He severely lacks the ability to focus from far to near. Glasses may aid that somewhat, but the actual vision isn't the issue as much as it is the ability to keep things in focus. In this area, he's in the 4th percentile.
As he ages, these percentiles go down drastically by the year if he has no therapy. The therapist said that if this was unnoticed and untreated by the time he was in second grade, maybe third if he was lucky, he'd definitely have visual disabilities. He's at a critical point to have caught this right now.
He also does not recognize letters and numbers that are backwards more than 80% of the time, and he writes letters and numbers backwards far more often than he should for his age. We have yet to determine if this is in fact dyslexia or just a physical problem with his eyes. More therapy sessions should reveal that soon.
The therapist wants to get him into Occupational Therapy to train his writing ability because his handwriting is "sketchy" and too light--he does not use enough pressure to write well with a pencil, so his marks are sometimes hard to read because they are so light. This issue conflicts with the fact that for nearly everything else he does, it's as if he craves hard contact and doesn't realize many times when he should be more gentle with his contact--for example, he hugs and kisses extremely hard to the point it's often painful to the one receiving them, or just annoying. I could name off a hundred other examples but it would take too much time. In short, though, he may have some sensory integration dysfunction issues as well.
One of the first notes she made of Trevor was that he is "VERY impulsive." She said this could be due to unconcious frustrations due to his vision problems of which he is not yet aware, and his impulses are his way of "acting out," or it could be ADHD. Again, further therapy sessions will determine what's going on and what route we need to take for his recovery.
The bad news is, my insurance doesn't cover ANY of the vision therapy, and it ain't gonna be cheap. Ugh. If he gets OT, my insurance MAY cover 80% of it, but only if it's in the calendar year, whatever that means, and if the type of OT is used for his hands (which the vision therapist is going to try to work in my favor with his handwriting issues and then try to get other therapies attached to it). If he has dyslexia, I don't know if my insurance will cover any programs for it. For now, I'm just trying to swallow the fact that he'll need 18 weeks of 36 sessions of therapy at $70 per session. I'm going to try to apply for a healthcare credit card and see what kind of arrangements I can make, but I do know I'll do whatever it takes to give my boy any advantage or benefit he needs to work through this.

BLUES: John Lee Hooker is one of the foremost blues performers of the postwar period. He is in actuality a Mississippi country bluesman and his music has always been firmly grounded in the traditional blues of his native state. He has remained true to its fundamental principles throughout a professional career of more than five decades. Whether playing solo in 1960 or with the Muddy Waters Band in the same year or his touring bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s, John Lee Hookers genius in writing and performing magnificent emotionally potent blues can be seen in all its glory in this video collection of rare performances. This DVD has been compiled from very rare footage and we have tried to remaster this to produce the best possible results. A 25 page comprehensive booklet featuring biographical material, rare photographs and details on the tunes performed on this DVD can be accessed and downloaded from Guitarvideos.com.

FOLK/BLUEGRASS: One of acoustic music's true innovators and eccentrics, John Fahey was a crucial figure in expanding the boundaries of the acoustic guitar over the last few decades.

In a career that saw him issue several dozen albums, he drew from blues, Native American music, Indian ragas, experimental dissonance, and pop. NTSC all region, 134 minutes. | |||||

BLUES: In 1980, after 20 years performing on the blues scenes of Providence, Detroit-Ann Arbor, Chicago, and Texas (and also performing with Duke Robillard, Steve Nordella, Big Walter Horton, Johnny Shines and Asleep At The Wheel), Johnny Nicholas moved to the Central Texas Hill Country outside Austin, Texas and opened the Hilltop Caf�. First released in 1994 by Antone's Records, this CD was recorded live at the Caf� and direct to two track. TopCat Records is re-releasing this gem with 4 bonus tracks from the original sessions. Features Jack Barber, C. C. Pinkston, Floyd Domino, Ernie Bowser, and producer Stephen Bruton.

But, what if you don't have multiple technical skill sets? Not to worry. If you're a quick learner who takes a proactive approach to learning new technologies, leverage that.
Employers want candidates who "possess an inclination for learning new technologies quickly. A lot of our clients want candidates that want to learn; they're always looking to expand that skill set," Bier said. "[Many employers] are motivated to get the engineers certified, and they want employees that are willing to do that."

Overview: Majesty: The Northern Expansion - The Dragons are waiting for their dinner !
Do you know the easiest way to kill a dragon? Just stuff a sheep or ram with a heap of poisonous filth and feed it to a dragon. Of course it's not the most heroic method but it is very safe and effective. Another option is to announce a reward for the dragon's head.
After that the only thing you have to do is wait while the army of heroes, wizards and freaks drive a monster to its grave. It is always necessary to find a solution to the dragon problem because all the members of this scale-winged tribe have the same disease. It is a strong allergy to humans and their settlements and all dragons use the only medicine against this illness; total annihilation of the humans.
Troubles with dragons are in the forefront of "Majesty: The Northern Expansion". Of course you'll have to defend your kingdom from the other evil spawns, for example how about the giant stone golems that have an outstanding amount of hit points? Expanding the territory of your kingdom and starting the northern expansion in the land of the frost and winter you'll have to rack you brains over the riddle of fire-spitting monsters.
All who liked the original mobile game "Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim" will undoubtedly be pleased by its add-on "Majesty: The Northern Expansion" which gives an opportunity for players to continue their conquest in a new snowy location. Among the key features of this add-on are improved graphics, changeable weather and the integration with social networks.
new missions and new location – Northern Lands
legendary indirect control strategy totally adapted for mobile platforms
10 types of hero with dozens of statistics, weapons and armour
new monsters

History of the DIPF
For 60 years, DIPF has provided its research and science infrastructure services and thus contributed to improving educational quality and conditions of educational success in Germany.
The institute was founded on October 25, 1951 following a resolution by the government of the federal state of Hesse, as the "Hochschule für Internationale Pädagogische Forschung" (University of International Educational Research), as a public foundation with legal capacity.
The US-American military office, the federal state of Hesse and the city of Frankfurt am Main were involved in the process of the institute's establishment. Following the experience of National Socialism, they sought international stimulus for educational research. A considerable contribution was also made by Erwin Stein. In his function as the state minister of education in Hesse, he had voiced the demand for a university of international educational research in December 1948. Moreover, Professor Erich Hylla, who had been a responsible officer for the central institute for education and instruction in Berlin until 1933, had returned to Germany as a reporter for education commissioned by the US government in 1946, and drafted a concept for such a higher education institute of international education and research. The DIPF began its work in Frankfurt am Main in 1952, and it became an institutional basis for international empirical educational research in Germany.
In the mid-1960s, the institute was included in the so-called "Königstein state agreement" and it was given a new constitution, wherein the foundation's purpose was defined in terms of a practical, empirical educational research in an international comparison. At the same time, the university was renamed and became the "German Institute for International Educational Research" (DIPF).
In the 1970s and 1980s, DIPF focused its work on the international comparison of educational issues. Not least owing to new electronic opportunities for exchange and networking in science, it became possible to expand and improve international exchange at DIPF. Today, the international perspective of the institute is based on sound research and analyses on national school quality, educational governance and scientific infrastructure. A systematic international comparison of the German education system is thus possible.
Since 1977, DIPF as a non-university research institute has been jointly funded by the federal government and the federal states (Länder). Since 1990, DIPF has been a member of the Leibniz Association, which originated from the "Blue List". Relevant structural changes took place in the early 1990s following the integration of parts of the former GDR's Academy of Pedagogical Science, the Pedagogical Central Library and the Center for Information and Documentation. Earlier, the Pedagogical Central Library had integrated the Teachers' Library that had existed for more than a hundred years. As part of DIPF, it was newly founded as the Library for the Hhistory of Education (BBF). The establishment of new centers was also crucial for the institute's development:
From 1998 to 2001, particular attention was paid to setting up educational information services (initially Information and Documentation later Information Center for Education). In recent years, DIPF has progressively shaped its profile as a national center for educational information and educational research; its national and international networks are also systematically enhanced. Research investigations of systemic, institutional and individual levels of education with its reciprocal effects contribute to this profile. Setting up a Center for Education and Human Development particularly served to re-define the individual level of action of learning and development.
In 2012, a professorship for Research on the History of Education was inaugurated at DIPF: consequently, a fifth research department was set up. Together with the Department for Educational Governance, this research domain strengthens the institutional profile in Berlin

Visuals the PSP just isn't going to be able to match. Sure, it'll do its darndest, and the game's cel-shaded nature means the downgrade won't be as noticeable as more "realistic" 3D games on the system, but it still won't look as good as the PS3 original. Advertisement Advertisement That's something these new, mysteriously grainy screens (these were released overnight by Sega, they're not mag scans) do a good job of reminding us all of. Don't think of them as a grainy disappointment. Think of them - as you should any other "authentic" screenshot you see during a game's development cycle - as an exercise in avoiding launch day disappointment.Then remember this is turn-based Valkyria Chronicles you can play on the can, and visuals be damned, you'll be all cheered up!

Policy Resource
Georgia Takes on the Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge
Explore how Georgia will create four Early Education Empowerment Zones (E3Z) in areas serving large percentages of students with high needs.
In December, 2013, Georgia became one of six states to receive a Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) grant in Phase 3 of the program. Through this grant, the state is directing substantial resources to support several early childhood policy priorities. Two of these target areas are: Early Learning Guidelines and Early Education Empowerment Zones (E3Z).
Georgia adopted new Early Learning Guidelines (ELG) that included infants and toddlers before receiving the RTT-ELC grant, and has used RTT-ELC funds to roll them out. The state has created resources, tools, and professional development based on the ELGs. Moreover, Georgia has aligned them with national standards for English Language Learners using the WIDA Early English Language Development Standards Framework, and created professional development tools for early childhood educators working with English Language Learners. Finally, the state has disseminated their ELG to parents and professionals to ensure they are used to support young children's healthy development.
E3Zs are regions of the state that are working with the Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL) to pilot early education and care initiatives. In 2014, Georgia identified four E3Zs based off measures such as education, poverty, student standardized test scores, and family characteristics. The zones are in areas serving large percentages of students with high needs. A birth to 8 team has been established and is beginning to work with the E3Z to identify community-level strategies. Georgia has begun to implement the Great Start Georgia (GSG) program to bring evidence-based home visiting services to the E3Z. A child care center-based home visiting program was established in each of Georgia's four E3Zs. The program is established through partnership with a licensed child care learning center that serves as a hub for GSG services. There have been delays to full implementation of this program as funds for evidence-based home visiting services were not released in 2014 due to a delay in identifying the E3Z.
In addition to the center-based home visiting program, a primary focus within the E3Z is to increase the accessibility of high-quality early learning and development programs. The state increased the number of programs enrolled in Quality Rated and will continue support for programs attempting to enroll. In June 2016, Georgia had evaluated 1,040 child care programs, with an additional 1,631 programs in the Quality Rated process. Child care programs that participate in Quality Rated and receive two or three out of three stars are eligible for an E3Z Child Care Expansion Grant to expand existing child care centers and to create new child care jobs.
Finally, Georgia is expanding its coaching and mentoring system to support infant-toddler teachers located in the E3Z and other rural areas serving high percentages of children with high needs. Services are provided in English and Spanish. Georgia also expanded the state's incentives and scholarships programs for early learning educators.
