The Trucking side-mission is located at the RS Haul depot in Flint County, just west of Los Santos and north of Helena Wankstein's Farm in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The missions are activated by standing inside the red mission marker. The business generates $2,000 per day after completing all eight trucking missions. They become available after completing Catalina's mission, Tanker Commander, which features one of the depot's employees, Mr. Whittaker.
The missions consist of either delivering cargo within a time limit, delivering an illegal cargo whilst being pursued by the police with a three or four star rating, or delivering a fragile cargo without damaging it. The successive missions are increasingly difficult, with tighter time limits, stronger police attention or more fragile cargo, while also covering a larger area of land to reach the destination. Leaving the cab or detaching the trailer for too long will result in mission failure. After San Fierro locations are completed, cargo heading for Las Venturas will be a combination of fragile and timed objects, or any of the three, or all at the same time.
Mission 1
Goods must be delivered quickly. The player starts with a maximum of $1,000, with a timer telling when the player has to be at the destination. If the goods are late, cash will be cut in half. If it's later, cash will be cut in half again. Even later and the mission will be failed. The destination of the first mission will always be located in Red County, usually with the player taking the road nearby the depot heading north towards Blueberry, which is within east or central San Andreas.
Mission 2
Goods must be delivered without damage. The player starts with a maximum of $1,500. A damage bar will record the amount of damage your cab and your cargo receives. The more damage your cargo receives, the less cash will be paid out. Because the player is just beginning, the decrease of money will not be as drastic as the future missions. On this mission, the cargo is usually sent to Montgomery, east San Andreas.
Mission 3
Illegal goods must be delivered. The player starts with $2,000. The player will receive a minimum wanted level of three stars once the player leaves the compound. The wanted level cannot be decreased even with police bribes or, if the player manages to get in, spray shops. The player can decrease it only with a never wanted cheat (PC: AEZAKMI ~ PS2: Circle, Right, Circle, Right, Left, Square, Triangle, Up). If the player fails the mission, the wanted level will stay with the player but they can now use police bribes and spray shops, while passing the mission will automatically remove their wanted level. Locations can include destinations within the southern parts of Los Santos, which include Willowfield located near Emmet's training ground and CJ's safehouse, El Corona near CJ's and Cesar's house, and to the National Guard Depot in Ocean Docks, where the mission Robbing Uncle Sam took place.
Mission 4
Similar to mission 1, goods must be delivered quickly but there is a shorter delivery time, a farther destination, and a reward of $3,000. Destinations include Whetstone and Angel Pine in southwest San Andreas.
Mission 5
The goods are extremely fragile, more fragile than the second mission. The player starts with a maximum of $4,000. Destinations include places around San Fierro, specifically Easter Bay Airport and Battery Point, next to Jizzy's Pleasure Domes.
Mission 6
Similar to mission 3, illegal goods must be delivered and the player receives a three stars wanted level. The player starts with a maximum of $5,000. Requires access to Las Venturas. Destinations include:
- El Quebrados, northwest San Andreas
- Bayside Marina, northwest San Andreas
- Tierra Robada, northwest San Andreas
- Easter Basin, northwest San Andreas
Mission 7
Goods must be delivered quickly and without damage, a combination of missions 1 and 2. The player starts with a maximum of $7,000. Requires access to Las Venturas. Destinations include:
- Green Palms, north San Andreas
- Bone County, north San Andreas (2)
- The Sherman Dam, north San Andreas
- Verdant Meadows, north San Andreas
Mission 8
Similar to mission 3 but with highly illegal goods. The player will receive a minimum wanted level of four stars upon leaving the compound. Requires access to Las Venturas. The player starts with $10,000. Destinations include:
- Redsands West, Las Venturas (2)
- Whitewood Estates, Las Venturas (2)
- Las Venturas Airport Depot, Las Venturas
- Starfish Casino, Las Venturas
- Creek, Las Venturas
- Spinybed, Las Venturas
- Pilgrim, Las Venturas
- Rockshore East, Las Venturas (2)
- Randolph Ind. Est., Las Venturas
- LVA Freight depot, Las Venturas
- Las Venturas Airport, Las Venturas
After completing the Trucking side mission, the player can return to start the Trucking mission with all future missions randomly ordered.
- Plan a route on the map before a start of motion. Use the most straight path over paved roads with minimum amount of turns.
- In missions with illegal goods delivery make a way partially on rails, tunnels and dedicated bridges effectively isolate you from prosecution by police. But in open places (desert, countryside) you better quickly return to paved road because on rails your speed will be limited, making you an easy mark for the police helicopters.
- Avoid sharp turns, the trailer can come off.
- Look in the direction where you'll be heading next to minimize the chance of traffic or police vehicles from spawning there.
- Do not allow law enforcement vehicles or traffic cars enter between cab and the trailer, you immediately will lose cargo.
- Expect to make several attempts at Mission 8 as it's not uncommon for the trailer to be dislodged by police the moment it leaves the compound, rendering completion of the mission impossible as the trailer often disappears, or rolls away.
- Successful completion of illegal goods missions automatically negates any wanted level attained during the mission. However, if you fail a mission, while you can return to the compound to try it again, the wanted level is not removed, leaving you to your own devices (or a reload).
- Maintain high speed during missions with a wanted level. The outcome of them is often the product of luck, depending on whether you are forced to stop or not.
- Try to complete all the pre-Las Venturas missions before completing the mission Yay Ka-Boom-Boom. This is because, due to a glitch, computer-controlled vehicles will not cross the bridges linking Los Santos and Red County with Flint County, making crossing these bridges easier with the truck. After the Desert and Las Venturas areas open, traffic uses all bridges normally, creating additional hazards for the player in avoiding damage, making time, or avoiding police.
- If you didn't work on the trucking missions until after you beat the game, it is advised to recruit a GSF gang member to help with the police chasing after you (Tec-9 armed gang members preferred). A Desert Eagle is not recommended because the trailer can be easily destroyed with it, as the GSF member will ignore the trailer.
- Truck cabs and most trailers are too tall to fit through the underpass in Verdant Bluffs, Los Santos, even though it is in the direct route to a few destinations. Either go around the underpass, driving along the outside of the cliff, or choose another route.
- On some occasions, when the trailer is removed from the truck, and is tilted upside-down, it explodes like a normal car, but does not appear to be damaged. This also causes the mission to fail.
- Due to a glitch, the trailer can randomly detach even on smooth roads at moderate speeds. The trailer catches fire and explodes afterwards. It's unknown what causes this.
- In the beta, this mission would be unlocked after Highjack and not after Tanker Commander.

CUs Can Expect Economic Tailwinds
The economy is gaining traction in several sectors, according to CUNA's senior economist.
With 2014 right around the corner, credit union executives are wondering what's in store for the economy.
Credit Union Magazine asked Steve Rick, CUNA's senior economist, for his outlook.Q: Will the economy be better or worse in 2014?
A: The U.S. economy is expected to grow 3%, up from 2% in 2013, but it could be better than expected. The economy is gaining traction in many different sectors, and what were headwinds are switching to tailwinds. Sectors that will do well include housing, auto, energy, medical care, business investment, and consumer spending.
Consumer deleveraging will end, and people will once again accumulate debt relative to their incomes. This will turn one of the major economic headwinds into a significant tailwind for economic growth. Fiscal headwinds will remain a modest drag on growth, however, but not enough to derail the recovery.Q: Will the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program lead to significantly higher inflation and interest rates in 2014?
A: The short answer is no. Inflation occurs when you have too many dollars chasing too few goods.
To get to "too many dollars," you must have banks and credit unions lending out significant amounts of funds in a short period of time. While we do expect loan growth to rise in 2014, it will not be sufficient to push inflation across the Fed's 2.5% inflation threshold—the rate at which the Fed may start raising short-term interest rates. We expect core inflation, excluding food and energy, to rise to 2% in 2014 from 1.75% in 2013. So we expect the Fed to maintain its 0% interest-rate policy for the federal-funds interest rate through 2014.
Low core inflation will keep inflation expectations under control and long-term interest rates low. We expect the Fed to begin its quantitative easing tapering [reducing the pace of bond and mortgagebacked security purchases] in the fourth quarter of 2013, and ending the program by midyear 2014. This will move the 10-year Treasury interest rate over 3% by early 2014 and around 3.5% by year end.
The Treasury yield curve will steepen in 2014 as long-term interest rates rise faster than short-term interest rates. This may increase credit union's net interest margins as borrowing short term and lending long term becomes more lucrative— but only with loan demand.Q: Will gains in the job market bring CU loan delinquency and charge-off rates back to normal?
A: We expect the unemployment rate to fall below 6.5% by the end of 2014. This level is the second threshold the Fed has adopted as to when it might begin raising their federal-funds interest rate target. Economists consider an unemployment rate of 5.2% to 5.5% to be full employment, so the labor market will not be fully healed until 2016.
So the higher-than-normal unemployment rate in 2014 will keep credit union loan delinquency rates slightly above its historical average of 0.75%. We expect the loan delinquency rate to fall to 0.8% in 2014, the lowest level since September 2007, as job growth continues.Q: Will CU earnings improve?
A: We expect average credit union return on assets to rise slightly to 0.80% in 2014, from 0.78% in 2013. Many factors are at play. Rising long-term interest rates will slow or even halt the decline in asset yields. This will stabilize credit union net interest margins albeit at record-low levels, 2.8%.
The end of the mortgage refi boom will lower gains on sale of mortgages and mortgage origination fees, which will reduce noninterest income. Provisions for loan losses as a percent of assets will fall below 0.3% in 2014, below the 0.43% recorded in 2007 before the onset of the recession.
On another positive note: CUNA believes there will be no NCUA corporate assessment in 2014. The combination of corporate capital written off ($5.6 billion) and total assessments paid to date ($4.8 billion) total $10.4 billion, which is near where the losses might end up.

Dengue, dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome in the context of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness
Dengue is not included in the generic Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) algorithm but it is an important differential diagnosis of fever in children presenting to first-level health facilities in tropical Asia and Latin America. There has been no previous summary of existing dengue guidelines to explore their usefulness in the context of IMCI and to identify questions for research.
This review summarises the virology, transmission and pathogenesis of dengue, its significance by region, and its epidemiologic, demographic, and clinical features; assesses existing diagnostic guidelines; evaluates the evidence base for current treatment guidelines; examines IMCI adaptations of dengue algorithms; and discusses experience with home management of dengue and recognition of specific clinical signs and symptoms by caretakers. Based on this review, further development of dengue algorithms is suggested, followed by recommendations for necessary research and for country-specific adaptations.

First Aid Essentials
Even when we are careful, an injury can occur while hunting. You should know what to do, and what not to do, in a medical emergency. Improper care can worsen the victim's condition.
First aid is the immediate and temporary treatment of injuries until a victim can receive proper medical attention. Everyone, especially hunters, should take a first aid course. The American Red Cross and other community service organizations teach first aid classes regularly.
Mild bleeding or fractures are usually not life threatening. However, a person who is unconscious, who is not breathing, or who has no heartbeat is at great risk of dying.
In order to give first aid, you must not only have skills but supplies. A good first aid kit includes:
- latex gloves
- sterile gauze dressings
- roller bandages
- tape
- triangular bandages
- space blanket
- barrier for rescue
- breathing in CPR
- maintenance medications
- first aid book
Learn how to properly perform CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation). CPR is a combination of chest compressions and rescue breathing. A heart attack, or an injury that causes the heartbeat or breathing to stop, will require CPR. You can learn how to do CPR at your local Red Cross or other community service organization.

U.S. commercial space company SpaceX says it has picked March 1 for the next launch of its Dragon capsule to the International Space Station.
The company requested the date from the Cape Canaveral, Fla., spaceport it uses for launching its Falcon rockets.
It will be the third flight for a Falcon rocket to ferry a Dragon cargo capsule carrying food, supplies and scientific equipment experiments for delivery to the ISS, Discovery.com reported Friday.
One of the Falcon rocket's nine engines shut down prematurely during the last launch on Oct. 7, but SpaceX said it did not endanger that mission and that they've identified the problem.
"We've gotten to root cause and we've briefed that to our customer (NASA)," Garrett Reisman, SpaceX's Commercial Crew project manager, said.
"Right now we're just making sure that all of our i's are dotted and our t's are crossed," he said. "we do intend to make that information more widely disseminated very, very soon."
SpaceX says it's planning six launches from Cape Canaveral in 2013, three for NASA and another three for commercial clients, and also intends to conduct launches from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base in California sometime this year.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) Kamren Belin scored a career-high 24 points as Youngstown State topped Horizon League rival Cleveland State 73-59 Saturday.
Belin scored nine consecutive points during an 18-0 run in the first half that put the Penguins (12-8, 4-3) ahead 42-25.
Youngstown State jumped to a 14-6 lead over the first 4 minutes, and led 21-11 following Belin's 3-pointer with 12:19 left until halftime. The Vikings rallied with 10 consecutive points and took a 25-24 lead with 6:44 left. D.J. Cole responded with two free throws for Youngstown State, sparking the 18-0 run.
Cleveland State (10-12, 2-6) pulled within 56-50 on a three-point play by Bryn Forbes with 9:19 left. Cole responded with a 3-pointer, followed by Kendrick Perry's fast-break layup and 3-pointer for a 64-50 edge with 7:17 remaining.
The 14-point margin of victory was the Penguins' largest in the rivalry since 1983.
Forbes finished with 19 points.

Education Leadership Conference (ELC)
We are a group of graduate students who lead the Education Club at the Yale School of Management in New Haven, CT. Every year we hold a conference on the topic of leadership in education. The event is attended by over 500 leaders in the education sector from across the nation. The conference promotes meaningful dialogue about innovative solutions to the many challenges faced by the education system in this country.
The conference is attended by professionals/businesspeople working in the education sector, including teachers, administrators, superintendents, advocates, union leaders, etc.
While we have changed logos each year for the past three years, we are now looking to create a permanent logo to serve as the conference's "brand."
We would like the logo to be full of energy, as this conference is really about CHANGE, REFORM, and HIGH EXPECTATIONS in the education sector. We also would like it to be sophisticated, so no clip-art or cartoon-like images.
Colors: Shades of blue and/or white
The following are some possible ideas, but should not limit you:
-Including the letters "ELC" as part of the design (as in, Education Leadership Conference)
-Including the letter "Y" as well (for Yale) -- NOTE: We are not permitted to use the full word "Yale"

Gavin Gough necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 180 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
My name is Gavin Gough, I'm a freelance travel photographer.
I'm looking for an inspiring logo design that will convey a sense of the international flavour of my work with a creative flourish.
Gavin Gough Photographer
I'm a freelance travel photographer with a portfolio of images from around the world, the majority coming from South-East Asia and the Indian subcontinent. I supply stock images to international image libraries and my photographs are regularly used in travel magazines, tourist brochures and in various forms of advertising.
Take a look at my web site portfolio.
I'm looking for a logo design that I can use on my web site, on business stationery and promotional literature.
The logo design should convey, firstly, that I'm a professional photographer so I'd want to avoid an amateurish look. It should have a certain amount of "gravitas" and should be "classical" rather than "funky". It should also give a sense of the places where I work so would perhaps include something that suggests concepts like "travel", "adventure" or "intrepid". Lastly, the logo should have a creative flourish, something that alludes to the creative nature of my business.
- "Gavin Gough Photographer" (main text)
- "Picture the World" (tag line)Design should convey the following:
- International
- Creativity
- PhotographyA colour palette of rich and earthy browns and reds with vibrant orange and yellow could be taken from the photos on my web site. I don't need to see all of these colours but they could serve as a starting point. I'm open to see other colour combinations too but will be looking for colours that complment my work and which are sympathetic to the atmosphere in the parts of the world where I often work.
Design should be:
- Elegant- Well-balanced (not symmetrical necessarily, but arranged in a way that's pleasing to the eye.)
I'm open to all ideas at this stage.

This Week's New Movies: "Resident Evil" vs. "The Romantics" and Joaquin Phoenix
Looking at today's slate of releases, we're tempted to declare this the worst week of the year for new movies. There's only one "big" film out today and the studio has so much contempt for the competition that they're not even bothering with press screenings -- at least they told us there weren't any.
"Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D"
It's the fourth installment in the Mila Jovivich zombie-apocalypse saga based on the beloved video game. Yes, there are folks making snide remarks about the lack of press screenings, but if you're Screen Gems, why bother? There's zero competition this week and the fans of the previous three films are all but guaranteed to show up. What would be the point of inviting a bunch of critics to hate on the film? In theaters everywhere, the trailer looks awesome
"The Romantics"
Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel and Anna Paquin star in this ensemble drama about yet another group of privileged young white folks who come together for a wedding only to discover there are some unresolved tensions of varying flavors between a number of them. In limited release, read our full review and watch the trailer
"I'm Still Here"
Joaquin Phoenix's tiresome two-year-long performance art piece -- wherein he pretended to quit acting and pursue a career as a rapper -- comes to its climax with the release of the documentary (directed by his brother-in-law Casey Affleck) chronicling the failed transition. As completely over Phoenix as we are, the film has been well received. In limited release, watch the trailer
"Bran Nue Dae"
From the niche genre hall of fame, a coming-of-age Australian Aboriginal musical set in the late '60s, starring Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush. In limited release, watch the trailer
"De Mai Tinh (Fool for Love)"
Dustin Nguyen, best known to American audiences as Officer Harry Truman Ioki from the Johnny Depp launching pad "21 Jump Street," stars in this Vietnamese romcom as a working-class guy competing with a much wealthier man for the love of a beautiful woman. In limited release, watch the trailer
Romain Duris stars opposite pop star and Johnny Depp paramour Vanessa Paradis in this French romcom about a man who makes his living breaking up relationships by wooing the women. It may startle you to learn that he falls for one of his targets. In limited release, watch the trailer
"Le Refuge (Hideaway)"
Isabelle Carre stars in this French drama as a woman whose boyfriend dies of a drug overdoes, after which she learns that she's pregnant. When his mother tells her to abort the pregnancy, she goes into hiding, where her dead boyfriend's brother tracks her down. In limited release, watch the trailer
A scrawny 16-year-old hunts down his brother, a former world-class wrestler played by WWE star John Cena, to teach him the sport. How Patricia Clarkson ended up in the film is anyone's guess. In limited release, watch the trailer

Decision : CONF 203 XII.1-12
Review of the Proposed Training Strategy
XII.1 The Centre presented Document WHC-95/CONF.203/9 in which section A focused on Natural Heritage and section B focused on Cultural Heritage sites.
A. Natural Heritage
XII.2 An Information Document "Strategy for Training in the Field of Natural Heritage" WHC-95/CONF.203/INF.11A was tabled. The session began with a background statement referring to state Party responsibilities in Article 5 (e) of the Convention and to the assistance available for training in Article 22 (c). Training is defined as a broadly encompassing term that includes education, training and promotion.
XII.3 The Centre noted that while there has been general satisfaction with Convention-sponsored training programmes there was a need to put forward a coherent and pro-active programme. The purpose and objectives were established as follows:
"the purposes and objectives of the natural heritage training strategy is to enhance the capacity of all states Parties to identify, protect, conserve and present the natural heritage."
Five objectives were noted.
XII.4 The Centre presented four strategic actions which are spelt out in detail in Document WHC-95/CONF.203/9. It was noted that curricula and other training materials were the major shortcoming in the field of natural heritage. During the discussion it was further noted that there was a need to train teachers and to train the trainers, so as to gain maximum effectiveness. There was also an expression for the need to address the integration of cultural and natural values in training programmes. An additional point was the need for regular, regionally-based seminars, and the Delegate of Niger made a proposal for such a seminar in Africa.
XII.5 A concern was also expressed that care should be taken to ensure a geographic balance in training commitments. There was further concern that training modules must address consideration of ethical, environmental, economic and social relationships between nature conservation, sustainable resource use and local peoples. A text was prepared on this subject and agreed to by the state Parties concerned.
XII.6 At the close of the session the strategy was adopted as a basis for future development of the programme in cooperation with the advisory bodies. A budgetary proposal was presented and was considered under that item of the agenda.
B. Cultural Heritage
XII.7 When presenting the Document WHC-95/CONF.203/9, it was recalled that at the request of the World Heritage Committee, the Bureau during its eighteenth session (July 1994) examined expenditure incurred in the field of training from 1988 to 1992 and concluded that the World Heritage Centre should organize an evaluation seminar to define a new training strategy in the field of cultural heritage conservation. However, no budgetary provisions had been foreseen for this activity and the World Heritage Committee, during its eighteenth session in December 1994, did not recommend this proposal, although it had approved US$ 30,000 for the preparation of a training strategy for managers of cultural sites.
XII.8 Faced with this situation, the Director of the Centre asked ICCROM to prepare a proposal, which was distributed during the nineteenth session of the Bureau in July 1995, then transmitted to a certain number of partners of ICCROM and the Centre. The Document WHC- 95/CONF.203/INF.11B, which reflects the results of these consultations, establishes the conceptual and methodological framework which will serve as a basis for the elaboration of a training strategy. It analyses the content of the training programme and career structures, in relation to the types of properties inscribed on the World Heritage List, without however proposing platforms for actions adapted to each geo-cultural region. However, the Centre and ICCROM considered that the training strategy for cultural properties should take account of the analysis of the specificities of each region and should be based on an evaluation of their needs. It therefore proposes to begin in 1996 an information gathering process at the national and regional levels, in order to better identify the priorities and the regional and sub-regional institutions with which partnership links could be established.
XII.9 In his presentation, the Representative of ICCROM emphasized the complexity of the field of conservation of cultural heritage which is due to its great diversity of cultural heritage in the different parts of the world and which was discussed during the Nara meeting on authenticity in 1994. Among the target groups that should be involved in education and training programmes, he mentioned conservation professionals, technicians and craftpersons, politicians and decision-makers, as well as the public at large and the media, particularly television and the press.
XII.10 He emphasized the necessity to ensure the participation of the states Parties through a process which should include a survey that would be carried out by the states Parties, of their training needs, as well as discussions on regional meetings in order to identify the role of international collaboration in this context. The current programme of ICCROM aims, in fact, at the capacity-building of institutions and professional networks all over the world. ICCROM's aim is to identify areas with similar problems and concerns in order to launch thematic programmes. An example is a programme being developed by ICCROM on the conservation management of historic towns; an international training programme on the conservation of World Heritage cities shall be organized in 1997.
XII.11 During the course of the debate thirteen members of the Committee and the Representative of ICOMOS intervened and expressed their satisfaction with both documents, prepared respectively by the World Heritage Centre and ICCROM. They underlined the importance of training, being a necessary and indispensable condition for the conservation of cultural heritage and approved the regional and thematic approach that was being proposed. Having regretted the imbalance of training programmes between Europe and the rest of the world, they expressed their concern that this situation be remedied, which in the view of one member of the Committee, is one of the reasons of the weak representation of Africa on the World Heritage List. Two delegates requested that the Mediterranean as a region should receive greater attention. Some speakers also mentioned the complementarity of international courses for the training of trainers, regional courses for conservators, architects and other specialists and national courses for the training of technical personnel. They encouraged the Centre to pursue the in situ training and to include the craftsmen who are the holders of precious and indispensable knowledge in conservation of more fragile structures, such as earth or wood. Some interventions highlighted the use of educational videos and long-distance teaching.
XII.12 The Committee supported the proposals for the establishment of an inventory of conservation needs based on questionnaires which will be sent to national authorities responsible for heritage protection, and requested that regional training institutes be identified and participate in the elaboration of programmes which combine theoretical and practical approaches adapted to local realities. Moreover, the Committee requested the Centre to adopt an "integrated" approach, and elaborate training programmes for both managers of natural and cultural sites. This reflection should be carried out in cooperation with the advisory bodies (IUCN, ICOMOS and ICCROM). A member of the Committee, having noted that the World Heritage Fund was unable to respond to all the training needs, requested that efforts be made to seek additional funding for training activities. The Committee supported the proposals for 1996 and expressed the wish that a budgetary allocation be made for the implementation of this strategy.
XII.13 At the end of the debate, the Chairperson requested the Director of the Centre to rectify the imbalance in the field of training, and to grant substantial assistance to African States Parties. The Director of the Centre undertook to request the advisory bodies, during the meeting which will be held in February 1996 at the Centre, in Paris, to make proposals for training programmes for managers of cultural and natural sites. He said that a budgetary line would be foreseen to implement a veritable training strategy for cultural properties.

Sweaty palms, known medically as palmer hyperhidrosis, or excessive hand sweating, is the most common presentation of hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for perspiration that is greater than that needed to maintain normal body temperature.
Sweaty palms occur when the body's thermostat stays elevated. To get rid of the resulting excess heat, sweat drips from hands, feet, underarms, or forehead. Sympathetic nerves control sweat; so when these nerves are clipped or divided, the sweating stops.
At Baptist, physicians perform a minimally invasive procedure called endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy to help treat sweaty palms. The thoracic sympathectomy is performed endoscopically. The surgeon makes two 5 mm incisions at the bottom of the armpit. The lung is permitted to fall away from the inside of the rib cage and a fiberoptic scope with a camera is inserted into the chest cavity. The lung is pushed aside, and the sympathetic chain identified. The camera provides magnification, so structures appear larger and in greater detail than they would to the naked eye. Utilizing a cautery device, the sympathetic nerve branches of the sympathetic chain are cut. The incisions are closed and an identical operation is performed on the other side.
The procedure achieves the same results as an open operation but without the long hospital stays, severe pain, and excessive scarring. The success rate for this type of procedure is typically about 98%.

Kids n Keys
A Kids Music Program in a Keyboard Learning Lab
For kids ages 5 - 7.
Kids n Keys introduces children to the fundamentals of music and piano playing in a fun group-setting. Students will:
- Be Inspired: We believe that exposing students to great music and high-quality performances plays an important role in inspiring musical accomplishments. Each Kids n Keys class includes critical listening activities. Our goal is for our students to leave class each week feeling excited about music.
- Sight-read: We expect all of our students to learn to read music. The ability to sight-read opens doors to an entire world of music.
- Play by ear: Traditional piano instruction, in most cases, ignores this important skill. To be a well-rounded musician and, more importantly, to be able to spontaneously create music with other musicians as a group, music students must be able to play what they hear. Bach To Rock incorporates many concepts from the famous Suzuki method to accomplish this goal.
- Play as a group: Studying music within a group provides a unique opportunity for young musicians to begin to develop the skill of playing music with their peers. This is highly motivating because it closely resembles a "team" atmosphere and it is a social experience.
Exposure to music at an early age supports both cognitive and intuitive foundations for musical growth. Studies also link music-making to greater spatial intelligence and improved learning abilities.
Kids n Keys offers students a playful environment where they encounter the concepts, symbols, and sounds that form the basis of music literacy. Our curriculum incorporates different types of activities and games that involve listening, movement, singing, and creative music-making. We also firmly believe that young students have the ability to make music at the keyboard even before they can read music notation. In every class, students learn to play popular melodies on the piano and prepare for a group concert.
We believe in small class sizes (up to 6 kids), so that each student receives the ideal balance of individual attention and positive peer interaction. Our state-of-the-
art keyboard/computer lab offers students the opportunity to learn from cutting-edge music software such as MusicAce.
The skills and intuitive musical understanding developed in Kids n Keys prepare a child for success in the study of any musical instrument.

Courses, Workshop and Seminars
Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Herbert H. Lehman College
Hostos Community College
Albert Einstein College of Medicine1300 Morris Park Ave.Bronx N.Y. 10461 Email us
Einstein is now recruiting for a newly NIH funded post-doctoral training program (Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award – IRACDA /K12) to train scientist/educators. This is one of only 19 IRACDA programs nation-wide and the only program based completely in the New York metropolitan area.
The Bronx-Einstein Training in Teaching and Research (BETTR) program is a three-year post-doctoral scholars program, which couples training in independent research with training in innovative teaching techniques and the experience in and guidance for hands-on teaching. Traditional training in research methodologies will be based at Einstein, and mentored teaching training will take place at two neighboring partner institutions in the Bronx, each Hispanic-serving and both part of the City of New York (CUNY). Our scholars will experience a diverse educational experience through mentored training at these two different types of undergraduate institutions: Hostos, a two year Community College, and Lehman College, a large four-year undergraduate college.
Prior to entering the BETTR program, Scholars will spend a year at Einstein establishing their research project, funded by the research mentor. During the first year in the program (second year in postdoctoral training), scholars will additionally choose a teaching mentor at both of our partner institutions and spend 25% of their time in the development of teaching skills. During the following year, scholars will carry out their teaching effort (25%) by hands-on teaching and in course development in collaboration with their mentors, which they will teach during the final year.
BETTR Scholars must be training grant eligible, i.e. green card holders or American citizens with less than 1-2 years of post-doctoral experience. Women, under-represented minorities and individuals with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply.
If you are interested in this exciting opportunity, or know of anyone interested, please contact Dianne Cox and Barbara Birshtein. Inclusion of a current CV and a brief statement of teaching background and interests would be helpful (see application page).
The purpose of the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) Program is to develop a diverse group of highly trained biomedical and behavioral scientists to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs.
The IRACDA program provides support for a traditional mentored postdoctoral research experience at a Research intensive institution combined with an opportunity to develop the academic skills, including teaching, through workshops and through mentored teaching assignments of postdoctoral fellows at a partner institution.
The primary goals of the IRACDA program are to (1) develop a diverse group of highly trained biomedical and behavioral scientists who have the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue research and teaching careers in academia (2) strengthen the overall teaching and research opportunities at partner institutions, with the expectation that it would further foster the development of the next generation of a diverse pool of scientists who are available to address the NIH's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs.

LipGloss Avatar
Avatar is officially a monster. Has already surpassed $1 BILLION worldwide. Currently ranked 4th in all time box office earnings meaning James Cameron now owns the top spot (Titanic) and is quickly closing in on the 2nd as Avatar approaches the records set by Pirates of the Caribbean and The Return of the King.
It's been in theatres for weeks. And still, last night, on a Sunday night, my colleague Emily tried to see it at a theatre with 3 screens and it was sold out til 11pm. BIG business. I've not. Have no interest in seeing it. But everyone else is seeing it.
LipGloss Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens saw it last night in Hollywood. Cameron of course made Lip's hero Leo a massive star. So you know he's aching to work with the King of the World too. With the success of Avatar, a sequel is a foregone conclusion. And Cameron has 3 other massive projects in preproduction too. LipGloss needs an adult franchise. Perhaps Leo will put in a good word for him.

What if you could combine the benefits of virtualization, grid and cloud computing to accelerate Windows-based applications? An Israeli company, Xoreax, is doing just that. We spoke with Xoreax at SC12 in Salt Lake City, Utah, last week to learn more about their offering.
Xoreax got its start back in 2002 and for the last 10 years, they've been accelerating software in the Windows environment, using distributed, aka grid, computing technology. Their IncrediBuild-XGE (Xoreax Grid Engine) software uses a unique technology called process level virtualization to create a virtual HPC machine. The software harnesses unutilized CPUs to create a private grid. It runs on a company's existing Windows infrastructure and extends into the public cloud if more resources are required.
Typical server and CPU utilization rates are target="_blank">notoriously low; IncrediBuild finds all that spare compute capability and exposes it.
"It's like having virtual HPC – every workstation in this network can scale out to tap into the amount of resources that is in the entire network," says CTO Dori Exterman.
"We have an agent in every machine and create a private grid out of all these machines and can also scale out to the cloud. The solution is currently Windows-only, and there aren't many Windows solutions for this kind of cycle scavenging."
Unlike other grid and virtualization solutions, IncrediBuild works out of the box. Traditional grid solutions require the user to change the source code and target an API. This extra work makes sense for very demanding applications like real-time financial trading, but Xoreax is targeting more general-purpose workloads that are also process-intensive.
The solution combines grid and virtualization, but instead of virtualizing entire machines like VMware does, the technology virtualizes a single process.
"We can take a process and virtualize it on the network. When the process needs some files from the local machine, the software acts like a middleman between the process and the operating system and we can take all that environment that the process requires on demand from the initial machine, cache it on the remote machine and give the process everything it needs in order to work on the remote machine," explains Exterman.
"The process does not care where it's running because we will create all the environment for it. You don't need to install any software on the remote machines," he adds.
Traditional HPC usually requires costly investments of time and resources in hardware, training and expertise, whereas process virtualization leverages the customers own resources. Potential customers are interested in ease of implementation and integration and they don't want to be vendor-bound, the CTO notes, adding that integration takes less than an hour and requires only a small 2-line xml file.
Perhaps owing to Xoreax's niche as a code-build accelerator, the company is not that widely known despite healthy deployment numbers. Over 100,000 users from some 50 countries rely on XGE-based products, and customers include big-name corporations like Cisco, NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft, eBay and IBM.
Under the OEM model, a software vendor integrates with IncrediBuild-XGE and then provides the product to their end users. One such example is the large diamond grading outfit Sarin, which uses the software to accelerate diamond analysis for tens of thousands of customers. Instead of running all the simulations on a single dedicated server they can scale out across all their in-house resources and into the cloud. With the XGE client, Sarin has achieve a 20x speedup in system performance. The time required for complex analyses has shrunk from 40-60 hours down to 2-4 hours, while simpler 1-2 hour analyses now complete in 10-15 minutes.
As with most grid or cloud solutions, IncrediBuild is intended for applications that are compute-intensive as opposed to I/O-intensive. It's well-suited for computational tasks that take a lot of time, such as batch processing or near real-time. Gaming, financial services and manufacturing are some key verticals.
While early use cases revolved around computation acceleration, the software development space has evolved into their main customer base. IncrediBuild reduces the time of many development environment tasks, including code analysis, unit testing, QA script, stress tests and code verification. The company states it is the most popular off-the-shelf accelerator for Visual Studio code builds.
Another interesting IncrediBuild-XGE use case is the follow-the-moon scenario, where two manufacturing centers located in opposite hemispheres distribute their resources to balance workloads.
On the OEM side, IncrediBuild-XGE has added support for GPUs. This capability offers a lot of potential to engineers working with graphics-intensive workloads, like rendering or CFD. Running an application on a remote server with a dedicated discrete GPU can take minutes instead of hours versus running on a local workstation with an on-board GPU.
IncrediBuild-XGE is compatible with virtually any IaaS offering. Because the engine works with VMware, it runs everywhere you can mount a machine and have VMware run it as part of your subnet. During times of high demand, users can add virtually unlimited resources to their IncrediBuild grid.
On the subject of competition, both the CEO Eyal Maor and the CTO respond that the process virtualization technology is unique and that there aren't really any comparable offerings. When I inquire about Windows-based grid vendor Digipede specifically, they acknowledge the similarities, but state that they "don't run into them."
As for their future roadmap, Xoreax doesn't want to reveal too much, but the company hints at several announcements that are coming down the pike that could significantly expand their user ecosystem, including plans around Linux and tablets.
Xoreax offers separate pricing terms for its OEM and off-the-shelf products. The cost of the OEM version is negotiated on a per-customer basis, while the off-the-shelf pricing is per agent and based on the total number of cores that the agent is using. The company also offers different product packages, depending on the type of acceleration desired. Interested users can download a trial license, which gives them a chance to kick the tires and decide if the solution is right for them.

Israel actions 'disproportionate'
Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip in retaliation for militant rocket attacks on its territory amounts to a "deliberately disproportionate form of collective punishment", Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has said.
Mr Clegg urged the Israeli government to stop military strikes on the densely-populated Palestinian enclave, where officials say the death toll from the 10-day battle has reached 222, with 1,670 injured. One Israeli civilian has also died in the conflict.
Israel and Gaza's Hamas leadership have agreed a five-hour United Nations-brokered humanitarian pause in the fighting, which began at 10am local time (8am UK time) to allow Palestinian families to restock on food, water and other necessities.
Speaking on LBC radio, Mr Clegg urged both sides to build on the ceasefire to prevent further deaths and a continuation of what he described as "unimaginable human suffering" in Gaza.
Prime Minister David Cameron has not condemned Israel's military action, while his official spokesman has said that the key to resolving the conflict is for Hamas to stop firing rockets into Israel.
Mr Cameron signed up to a European Union statement last night which called on both sides to "de-escalate the situation, to end the violence, to end the suffering of the civilian populations notably by allowing access to humanitarian assistance, and return to calm".
The EU "deeply deplores the loss of innocent lives and the high number of wounded civilians in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israeli military operations and is deeply concerned about the rapid and dramatic deterioration of the humanitarian situation," the statement said.
But the Deputy Prime Minister went much further by saying: "I have to say now that the Israeli response appears to be deliberately disproportionate. It is amounting now to a disproportionate form of collective punishment. It is leading to a humanitarian crisis in Gaza which is just unacceptable.
"I would really now call on the Israeli government to stop. They have made their point."
Mr Clegg added: "Regardless of which side you are on in this ancient bloody conflict, no-one can feel indifferent to the spectacle of this overcrowded, desperate sliver of land in Gaza, where so many thousands of people are suffering.
"I will always defend Israel's right to respond and to defend itself in the face of violence that aims to terrorise Israeli citizens. I have spoken out repeatedly about Israel's very legitimate demands that Hamas and others recognise Israel's right to exist, and to exist peacefully within its own borders and provide security to its own citizens."
He said: "It is not in the long run in Israel's own interest to see this festering humanitarian crisis get ever worse in Gaza because all it does in the long run is incubate the next generation of violent terrorists who want to harm Israel.
"Today we have a glimmer of hope that a five-hour ceasefire has been entered into by both sides and my plea to both sides is please build on that because further deaths and more violence begetting more violence is not in anybody's interests and is not going to help deliver the only way in which Israelis are going to be able to live in peace in the long run, which is a negotiated two-state peace settlement."

The high school students who participated in the June 11 - 13 health career camp did so because they are interested in someday pursuing a career in the health care field.
They, along with 80 other high school students, explored the health care industry through three-days of hands-on experiences and learning opportunities for all who attended.
Students attending from Monticello High School include Avery Gallegos, Alicia Gallegos and Lydia Chadwick.
Attending from Monument Valley High School was Kirsten Cly, Denishia Tsosie and Chelsea Nelson.
Brittany Bleak, from San Juan High School, also attended.
At the camp, participants were divided into six groups and rotated among 14 different workshops.
Some of the workshops featured health career skills where participants learned to suture, take blood pressures, intubate and maintain an airway, provide first-aid, proper patient transfer techniques, how to properly scrub in for surgery, proper wound care techniques and more.
In science labs, students looked at blood smears through microscopes, conducted chemistry experiments, learned how diseases are spread, made their own teeth impressions, dissected sheep eyes and sheep hearts, and learned about pharmacy by making their own chapstick.
Participants also had a human anatomy lesson, when they scrubbed into a mock operating room and had the opportunity to look at, discuss, and feel actual human organs.
Careers that were featured at the camp included, Respiratory Therapy, Nursing, Nurse Practitioner, Medical Technologist, Physician, Veterinarian, Dental Hygienist, Forensic Science, EMT, Pharmacist, and Dentist.
Colten Bracken, a current medical student at the Mayo Medical School, was the keynote speaker at the camp.
Colten, who grew up in rural Enterprise UT, stressed to the students that their career goals are all possible if they put forth the work and dedication required to achieve them.
Participants at the camp also took part in the SUU Challenge Course, where they learned teamwork and leadership skills. A dance and dinner at a local park were also highlights of the camp.
Because there is a strong need for health care workers in rural Utah, the goal for this camp is simple.
"This camp is specifically designed to give students from rural areas opportunities to learn about health care careers in a hands-on way that is not always available to them," said Carrie Torgersen, coordinator of the camp.
After graduating from high school, students interested in health careers have the opportunity enroll in the Center's Rural Health Scholars Program.
The program helps students become successful applicants to medical, dental, pharmacy and other graduate level health professions programs.
Over the past seven years since the program began, SUU has experienced higher than average acceptances in all health disciplines and received national recognition for the Rural Health Scholars.

It is actually relatively easy to demonstrate a mobile banking transaction. To connect a phone channel to a banking system and to demonstrate the transaction being initiated by a phone subscriber is by far the easiest problem to solve in mobile banking.
Far more complex but much more important is to also provide robust administrative support for the mobile banking solution. This is an essential component to deliver a commercially sound and a production ready mobile banking system.
In evaluating a deployment ready solution one should expect to find the following components in a well designed Administrative module:
- Support staff access is important as it is probably the biggest risk factor in the operations of the system. Statistics have shown that fraud is more often perpetrated by internal staff and the exposure is also much bigger. Well-designed systems should cater for defined responsibility matrix, with segregation of duties. Techniques like dual authorisation, limits and exception reporting should be available. Proper logging of support staff activities is important so as to ensure that activities can be tracked and audited.
- Most of the administration activities are made available by means of suitable procedures. Systems should support standard procedures and workflow for the key functions (like registration of a new subscriber, renewal of a PIN, reversal of a transaction to name a few). In addition the workflow component should be flexible enough to accommodate changes and to add new procedures.
- The tasks within the procedures should include Client support functions that would enable a client support staff member to handle queries, set new limits, change personal information etc. Support should be given to search the data by means of surnames, identification numbers etc. in addition to mechanisms to authenticate clients.
- Administrative support could include the ability to raise interest and fees. To run reconciliation tasks, to change system parameters or to send communications to support staff or clients.
- The availability of Management Information is critical not only to be able to operate a mobile banking system effectively, but also to be able to improve the service.
- A well-designed system should cater for External administration functions. This would enable third party suppliers to possibly register clients or to pay commissions. It is preferably to have a defined interface to build customised access to the Administrative functions.

From time to time some legitimate hosts/networks falls into SAM :-(. Is it possible to enter SAM rules exception (the same idea as in IPS network exceptions)?

From time to time some legitimate hosts/networks falls into SAM :-(. Is it possible to enter SAM rules exception (the same idea as in IPS network exceptions)?
Best regards
It is better to not use SAM at all. However, you can create an indefinite SAM rule allowing traffic for your legitimate hosts. Main issue here, it sits before any other policy rule. I would avoid that by any mean if I were you
Valeri Loukine
Suspicious Activity Rules were originally intended to be used temporarily in an IDS intruder shunning situation and to be fast-acting (i.e. a policy install is not required to enforce them). There is no way to define an exception to these that I can see.
If you ever want to play a joke on your arrogant colleague who claims to know everything about Check Point (and lets you know about it daily), add a SAM rule via SmartView Monitor for his workstation address source IP, set the Action to Drop, and Track to None. :-) Nothing short of a "fw ctl zdebug drop" can uncover why the heck he can't seem to pass any traffic through the firewall. And even the zdebug saying "SAM drop" or whatever may not mean anything to your colleague if he is not aware of the SAM mechanism...

Who needs to use SmartView Monitor for this when you can use "fw sam" to do this?

Sheriff's Office creates 'Zero Fatalities/Zero Excuses'
Special to the Nevada Appeal
For the past month, the Sheriff's Office has been heavily engaged with the Nevada Highway Patrol's Northern Command, Major Brian Sanchez, regarding the collision rates on Highway 50. From the very onset, we have seen leadership of a variety of agencies jumping on board to create a short and long term plan that will provide for a safer highway for everyone to travel. On Tuesday, I met with the Northern Nevada Traffic Incident Management Coalition, the Department of Public Safety, Lyon County Sheriff's Office, Nevada Department of Transportation and the Office of Traffic Safety. Recognizing the significance of our challenge, a plan has been drafted that includes the length of Highway 50, from Carson Street to Fallon, and extending North to Fernley.
The Highway 50 safety plan has a single objective in mind, to change the character of the drivers on a highway engineered for safety. In order to achieve this, we are implementing a plan that includes widespread media and public education, enhanced aggressive enforcement activities, and both short and long term safety engineering of the highway. Clearly, the re-engineering of the highway will require the most amount of time and dollars. However, a safety audit of the highway by NDOT has already been set to begin in August. We look forward to the quick results.
On our side of the county line, public education and enforcement is essential. I have asked the city to place announcement boards up along the path, and am directing increased strict zero tolerance enforcement details on the roadway. In carrying out the operational activities, our efforts must have long term sustainability; remember, if we are embarking on a fundamental driver character change, it cannot be achieved overnight.
The causes of the accidents we have witnessed have been as varied as the number of injured. Highlighted today were DUI alcohol and drug, distracted drivers, and in some cases medical issues. Similarly, as we have seen in our own pedestrian fatalities, there are many drivers on this highway that just simply have no valid reason to be driving; suspended driver's licenses and registrations. Every infraction must be addressed.
As we have already begun the early thrust on our side of the county line, I've asked staff to create innovative solutions to traffic enforcement challenges. We all know that driver behaviors are often altered when a Sheriff or NHP vehicle is in the area. Captain Wall has suggested to combat this challenge, the use of unmarked vehicles is appropriate. For everyone, we must make this challenge a long term treatment. The friends, family, and neighbors that have been lost is just plainly unacceptable. While I am fully aware of many other challenges we face, a priority that this administration is adopting is "Zero Fatalities/Zero Excuses."

While a lot of folk seem to be discussing the link evaluation characteristic that Google might switch off from their 'Search quality highlights: 40 changes for February' post, the one I have found most intriguing was –
Improvements to ranking for local search results. [launch codename ââ?¬Å?Veniceââ?¬Â] This improvement improves the triggering of Local Universal results by relying more on the ranking of our main search results as a signal.
and –
Improved local results. We launched a new system to find results from a user�s city more reliably. Now we�re better able to detect when both queries and documents are local to the user.
I am seeing some pretty big changes in the Google.co.uk results from this update. It seems generic queries which are deemed to have local relevance (or intent) have more local results integrated from the main algorithmic results.
Let me give you an example. Here is a search for 'dishwasher repairs' before the change (incognito mode without personalisation) and Google believing I am based in Camberley from their auto location detection (I am based in Henley-on-Thames…) –
Now, with the change and the same search, the results look like this (I removed the map listings between the first result and 2nd so we can just concentrate on the organic results) –
Notice how the top 5 organic results are the same. But after that Repair Care's 'Camberley' page now ranks, Yell.com and thedomesticrepair.co.uk are now on the 1st page as well.
If you run a search for 'dishwasher repairs camberley', you'll notice the top 2 results (other than those already in the top 10 for the search before the update) are Yell.com and thedomesticrepair.co.uk. So it seems these are now integrated into the SERPs.
This is just one example, I found the same across a variety of search queries we monitor for clients who provide services where location can be relevant. If you search for 'car insurance', there has been zero impact.
The main concerns for me are –
- Google have our location wrong. I am based in Henley-on-Thames, Camberley is a fair distance away and irrelevant.
- The map listings (which I removed from the screenshot above) are actually showing results for 'Reading'. Now this is a far more relevant result. So why are the two systems using different location detection? Odd.
- You can't seem to turn this location personalisation off with ease (you can manually change your location though!). This could have a big impact on ranking reports. The only way we have found, is via the following search query – https://www.google.com/search?pws=0&gl=UK&q=dishwasher%20repairs. If you run the same on Google.co.uk (ie, change it from .com to .co.uk), Google will detect your location again..!
Are you noticing any changes from this update?

Jennifer Lawrence once again didn't disappoint with her fashion, as she walked the red carpet at the premiere for 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' in New York City last night wearing a beautiful backless blue gown that would make even her character Mystique proud.
Jennifer Lawrence joined the all-star cast of the new 'X-Men' feature — including boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore and Peter Dinklage — at the worldwide premiere to where they were greeted by screaming fans waiting to get a glimpse of the mutant superhero group.
The Academy Award-winning actress' appearance didn't go without a hitch, however: she almost tripped like she did at the Oscars. She didn't seemed phased by the mishap, which is why she continues to be everyone's favorite BFF.
'X-Men: Days of Future Past' opens in theaters on May 23.
Fans, what do you think of Jennifer's dress?

Arthur Ritchie
Art's real interest in astronomy developed at a Lexington Senior Center class during 1995. For more than three years he took lessons from a retired M.I.T. professor who taught astronomy and geology. Near the end of the classes, he met Carl Feehrer and became interested in AAVSO activities. Carl was able to get him helping in the AAVSO's Solar Division in 1999.
Art has lived in Lexington, Mass., most of his life. He is married to Dorothy whom he met while in the navy stationed in California. He then went overseas and served in the Pacific as a weather observer on a Destroyer Tender.
After the war, Art returned to Boston and attended Northeastern University where he earned a degree in civil engineering. Later he took night courses in business administration. He worked 40 years as an estimator in the structural steel fabrication and field erection business. He worked at estimating, design, and sales.
Art and Dot have been active campers and enjoyed hiking, sunfish sailing, and canoeing. After Art graduated from Northeastern University, they spent ten weeks pup-tenting across the U.S. Since then, they usually go to National Parks and Monuments for their vacations.
Art has also done volunteer work in scouting and church boys' groups, as well as a period of wordworking projects with a local 4th grade.
Art feels fortunate at having the group at AAVSO to work with. He mainly comes in to the office to help with solar work or anything else that needs to be done. He has also been a regular solar observer for several years.

If we accept the idea that all organizations have a culture, the next logical question is: what are we doing to manage our own credit union's culture?
The fact that credit unions, like all cooperatives, are owned by their members gives us some guidance—but not a definitive path—toward a possible cultural landscape.
The seven cooperative principles give us further direction, but principles are just words unless they are implemented. They can serve as a valuable guide as your credit union creates or defines its cooperative culture.
Credit unions are part of a worldwide cooperative community with more than one billion members. In the U.S., more than 29,000 cooperatives from all sectors of our economy employ nearly one million people, generating more than $25 billion in payroll while controlling more than $3 trillion in assets.
The year 2012 is the International Year of Cooperatives. The United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, "Cooperatives are a reminder to the international community that it's possible to pursue both economic viability and social responsibility."
Cooperative culture
We tend to think the culture in our credit unions is fine. But how do we know?
While the CEO plays a critical role in creating a credit union's culture, each employee, director, and member also has a role in creating that culture—and they certainly have opinions.
There are seven steps cooperative organizations can take to proactively create, re-energize, or maintain a high-functioning cooperative culture:
1. Understand it. Understand what it means to be a cooperative and why your cooperative exists. What is your credit union's economic and social purpose?
2. Believe it.It's important to really believe that the cooperative business model is the best—and to communicate your belief to others.
3. Create it.Brainstorm with your colleagues about what your credit union can do to show it's different than a for-profit bank.
Some credit unions simply put a mirror in the lobby with a sign over the top that says, "Meet the owners of ABC Credit Union." Other credit unions conduct formal training for all employees on the cooperative difference.
4. Measure it.We all know the saying, "What gets measured gets done." The measurement step can be the first, middle, or last step in the process—or all three.
Conduct statistically valid surveys over time to gauge your effectiveness.
5. Manage it.This is the process of implementing and actively managing your credit union's culture. Employees and volunteers should actually start to feel your credit union's culture at this stage.
6. Market it.There are both internal and external audiences for your marketing efforts.
The internal audience includes all of us in cooperatives. We must all consistently support our own belief that the cooperative business model is the best.
Other internal audiences include our boards of directors and employees. Are we getting the necessary buy-in from these audiences to create and sustain our desired culture?
Your credit union's members might share characteristics of both internal and external audiences, depending on their current level of awareness about being part of a co-op.
For external audiences, you'll need to use both traditional and social media to create a unified, mutually supportive media strategy that showcases your cooperative strengths.
7. Sustain it.Change that doesn't last isn't change. If your culture is treated as "the marketing campaign of the month," the impact will be minimal, at best.
Here are some questions to ponder if you want to truly set your credit union apart and do business in the cooperative way:
A culture that pays dividends
The process of creating a culture that is passionate about the cooperative business model will pay significant dividends. Engaged employees who believe they're working for a cause, not just a paycheck, will accomplish more, be more content, and deliver better member service.
It's true that the process requires effort, and it can be difficult to find time to devote to this project in the midst of so many competing priorities. Cultivating a cooperative culture is not easy, but it's worth it.
The value of having more engaged employees, directors, and members is significant, and far outweighs the cost of implementation.
Your credit union can further differentiate itself from for-profit banks by incorporating these cooperative principles and values into its strategic thinking and work processes. By making this a core component of your mission, your credit union affirms its roots and attracts more members because it comes across as being authentic and truly interested in members' well-being.
Perhaps the most important reason for cultivating a cooperative culture is to transform members' and employees' lives. "Cooperatives give ordinary people the ability to accomplish extraordinary things," said Jean Jantzen, formerly of CHS Inc.—the largest co-op in the U.S.—upon her induction into the Cooperative Hall of Fame.
Credit unions reach more than 90 million people, and they prove to the world that a cooperative business model is a thriving and successful alternative to the for-profit sector.
