University of Nebraska Online Worldwide continues significant growth
The University of Nebraska is continuing to significantly expand its online learning initiatives, developing new strategies to meet the educational needs of more students in Nebraska and beyond, according to a report presented today to the NU Board of Regents.
The University of Nebraska is continuing to significantly expand its online learning initiatives, developing new strategies to meet the educational needs of more students in Nebraska and beyond, according to a report presented today to the NU Board of Regents.
Growth in the university's distance education efforts spans a number of key areas:
- Enrollment in the 130-plus programs offered by the four campuses and available through University of Nebraska Online Worldwide is up, including among distance-only students – that is, students who took all their courses online during the academic year.
- Academic credit hours generated by distance-only students grew significantly in 2012-13, and the university is aiming for more growth as it works to expand access to education to students for whom a traditional time- and location-bound program isn't an option.
- In line with the goals of the Nebraska P-16 Initiative, the university is expanding online secondary education opportunities to more students in Nebraska and elsewhere by incorporating the University of Nebraska High School (formerly the Independent Study High School based at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln) as part of Online Worldwide, which will leverage the resources and expertise of all four campuses to better serve students and schools.
- NU has signed a memorandum of understanding with Coursera, a leading provider of massive open online courses (MOOCs), to explore opportunities to make its course content available to many more individuals and position NU to be a part of the ongoing national conversation on distance education.
"The University of Nebraska has been engaged in distance learning for more than a century, and we are continuing to build on that rich tradition today with new strategies that are leveraging technology to serve many more students," said NU President James B. Milliken. "This is part of our responsibility as a 21st-century land-grant university and it is what our Board, policymakers and Nebraskans expect of us. I am very pleased with our growth in distance education and look forward to continued progress in meeting the educational needs of Nebraskans and others."
In a presentation to the Board of Regents, Mary Niemiec, associate vice president for distance education and director of University of Nebraska Online Worldwide, said that credit hours generated by distance-only students – a key metric monitored by the Board – grew 12 percent, to 57,000 in 2012-13. Each of the campuses saw growth in distance-only credit hours.
About two-thirds of distance-only credit hours are generated by Nebraskans, Niemiec said, demonstrating that Online Worldwide is meeting the needs of Nebraskans, including the approximately 290,000 individuals in the state who have completed some but have not earned a degree.
Total distance education credit hours grew 16 percent, to almost 130,000.
Niemiec noted that about half of all NU degree-seeking students took at least one course online in 2012-13 – an indication that students consider online courses an important part of their educational experience and that the university must continue to strategically integrate distance learning opportunities throughout the education continuum.
"Online learning at the University of Nebraska is all about expanding access to high-quality, flexible education to more people in our state and beyond. We're achieving that goal with new opportunities for high school students, college students, working professionals and lifelong learners," Niemiec said. "Ultimately our state will benefit when more individuals are able to advance their education and acquire new skills."
The university announced its intention to partner with Coursera in May. While the partnership provides exciting opportunities for faculty to explore new technologies that benefit students and to collaborate with colleagues at other institutions, the level of the university's participation in MOOCs – including details like what course content might be offered and when it might become available – will be determined by the campuses. Participation is voluntary for faculty.

BONIFAY � Bonifay Chief of Police Chris Wells announced the first wave of notifications during the Bonifay City Council�s April 8 meeting, giving home owners a chance to clean up their acts or the city will clean it up for them for a price.
BONIFAY � Bonifay Chief of Police Chris Wells announced the first wave of notifications during the Bonifay City Council�s April 8 meeting, giving home owners a chance to clean up their acts or the city will clean it up for them for a price.
Bonifay City Council held the second and final reading for Ordinance 385, known as the �Private Property Standards of the City of Bonifay� during their March 12 meeting.
This ordinance outlines code enforcement regarding abandoned personal property, debris, excessive growth, litter, etc. regarding personal property within the Bonifay City limits that is considered unattractive, unhealthy or unsafe to the surrounding residents and visitors and defines penalties, procedures and enforcement allowed for handling such cases.
This allows the city to notify the property owner that a clean up is required and if there is no response after a certain period of time then the city will clean it, bill the owner for the clean up and place a lean on the property.
Council members reassured local resident Connie Land that this would be the case for the property next door to hers.
Land had approached the council because of the property next door was abandoned, burned at some point, with broken windows, doors removed, unmanaged lawn, frequented by vagrants and diminishing the value of her property.
�I�ve got an appraisal coming up to reduce my mortgage and it�s going to diminish the value of my property,� said Land.
The council assured Land that was what the new ordinance was for and City Superintendent Jack Marell agreed to maintain the lawn once a month, sending the bill to the owner each time.
�We�re going to do what we can,� said Mayor Lawrence Cloud.
The council also approved a $71,695.76 change order from Hatch Mott MacDonald to the water/sewer project.
Hatch Mott MacDonald representative Shakil Amin explained that this was the last change order before the completion of the project and included the replacement of a stone water pipe, replacement of valves, an electronic gate with restricted access to the Waste Water Facility, pumps, sludge valves and a phone board.
Council members approved of council member Roger Brooks� request that the city repair broken equipment and dangerous areas to Veterans Park at the estimated cost of $1,500.
�There are broken swings, a piece of equipment is broken and there�s a jagged piece of concrete that needs to be dealt with before a child gets hurt,� said Brooks. �These kids deserve to have a nice and safe park to play in.�
Resident Alan Riley came before the council asking for relief with his $222 plumber bill.
He explained that there were some issues over the weekend with his plumbing being backed up and with him having guests that weekend he needed immediate relief.
He called a plumber and when the issue couldn�t be found within his residence he assumed it was with the new pipe located on city property, however when a city worker came to investigate the matter seemed to have been resolved.
The next day the issue occurred again, this time Riley said he was away and his wife called the plumber again and the plumber went to the city�s section and found the clog to remove it.
Marell said if they had known about the second clog then they would�ve been able to do something about it.
After much discussion the city approved to pay half of the plumbing expenses.
Woodham commended Marell on his work helping the residents with water and sewer issues while the water/sewer project continues.
�He deserves an �attaboy,�� said Woodham.
Council also approved a Relay For Life Proclamation 13-1, American Cancer Society Relay For Life Proclamation for the City of Bonifay.
�Relay For Life helped fund more than $150 million in cancer research last year. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the City of Bonifay do hereby proclaim April 19 and 20 as �Relay For Life Days� in Bonifay and encourage citizens to participate I in the Relay For Life event at Memorial Field on April 19 and 20,� according to the proclamation.
Present representing the Florida Division of the American Cancer Society was Kim Castriotta and representing the Relay For Life of Bonifay�s local team for the Bonifay Fire and Rescue and Holmes County EMS, Hose and Stretcher Gang, Team Captain Greg Barton to talk about the upcoming Relay For Life of Bonifay Event to be held from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. on April 19 and 20 at Memorial Field in Bonifay.
�The residents and participants have been wonderful and enthusiastic, warm and caring, and a lot is going on,� said Castriotta. �One of the committee members has asked about painting the town purple and she had said she hasn�t heard of one being down here before. What it does is that we ask for someone donate big purple bows, in some places it�s wooden purple people waving on street corners and what it does is peak people�s curiosity about why there�s so much purple.�
She said it is something to peak the interest of onlookers on that week prior to the Relay For Life main event.
�It gets the creative juices flowing and everyone thinking about it,� said Castriotta. �It won�t be anything excessive, just a few bows, ribbons and signs here and there for that week before relay. If store owners want to sponsor a ribbon or purple bow on their store front, that will also be made available for that week.�
The council agreed to allow for the purple ribbons and bows to be put on Bonifay street poles and explained that it would be up to the store owners to give them permission to use their store fronts for purple ribbons and signage.
She said the main event for the Relay For Life of Bonifay will be held from 6 p.m. on Friday, April 19 to 6 a.m. on Saturday, April 20 at Memorial Field in Bonifay and that there will be a Survivor�s Banquet to honor those who are fighting or have fought cancer, Survivor Victory Lap and Caregiver Lap in honor of survivors and caregivers, live entertainment, Ms. Relay Pageant, booths, venders, games and much more.
Visitors are welcomed to participate and participation is free.
The Holmes County Sheriff�s Office�s Relay For Life team will be hosting a Jail for Bail from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 19 at the corner of State Road 90 and State Road 79 at Old Cook�s Automotive.
For $15 you can put out a warrant for someone�s arrest and bond is set at $50.
All proceeds will go to Relay For Life of Bonifay.
For more information contact Adrienne Odum at 260-2469 or 373-8922, Tammy Bozeman at 333-0430 or the Holmes County Sheriff�s Office at 547-4421.
Barton said their team held a boot drive that raised over $2,350 in less than four hours on Saturday, April 6.
�We�d really like it if you would come out and support the event and have some fun,� said Castriotta. �It�s going to be a great event with a lot of really great ideas pouring in. It�s going to be very exciting and we hope to see you there.�
For more information contact DeAnna Oldham at 850-768-2675 or e-mail email@example.com.
The next scheduled Bonifay City Council meeting is set for 6 p.m. on April 22 at the Bonifay City Hall.

You can finally throw away your lousy FM Transmitter for playing your iPod over your car's radio. For vehicles without a direct audio input connection option available, there's now the Universal iPod Text Kit Interface from Dice Electronics. Unlike FM transmitters, this kit provides a VERY high-quality FM modulator that connects your iPod to your factory or aftermarket radios antenna jack using the FM antenna to feed its signal. FM transmitters send their signal wirelessly and as a result you get constant bleed over from strong radio stations and overall marginal sound quality. However, with the i-FM-RDS PRO you get the best FM quality sound we have ever seen, plus TEXT on your radio's display, power/charging and control from the iPod buttons and click wheel - ALL from one cable. Toss out your fuzzy, poorly made FM Transmitters and connect the Universal iPod Text Kit to your radio to experience your iPod music.
The following diagram shows how the i-FM-RDS PRO connects:
Installation of the i-FM-RDS PRO is very simple and the following wiring diagram shows all that is necessary to make your iPod play over your vehicle's radio:

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Kemba Walker had 20 points and seven assists, Ben Gordon scored 18 points and the Charlotte Bobcats beat the Detroit Pistons 108-101 in overtime Sunday night for just their second win in 21 games.
Ramon Sessions added 15 points, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 11 and Bismack Biyombo had 10 points and 17 rebounds for the Bobcats.
Tayshaun Prince scored 21 points to lead Detroit, which snapped a four-game winning streak. Greg Monroe had 18 points, 14 rebounds and six assists and Rodney Stuckey also scored 18 points.
Walker's driving layup with 7.8 seconds left in regulation tied the score at 96-all, sending the game to overtime. Then, he and Tyrus Thomas had four points each for Charlotte in the extra period.
Prince's jump hook with 2:02 left had given the Pistons a 96-94 lead.

Red Tap/Blue Tiger, an award-winning new play by The Albion Company, is one of five shows that Greenwich Theatre is packing up and taking to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer
The Albion Company will perform Richard Vincent's Red Tap/Blue Tiger – a darkly comic play about fatherhood – at Greenwich Theatre on Saturday 26 July, before transferring it to this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which runs from 1-25 August.
'There's a really industrious, strong work ethic behind [The Albion Company],' said Vincent, 'There's a young Kenneth Branagh thing going on and it's wonderful to see.'
'To be associated in any way with Kenneth Branagh is incredibly humbling because he's a big hero of mine,' said Elliot Brown, who is directing Red Tap/Blue Tiger, 'and to get recognition from Simon Stephens, who works extensively with the Royal Court, confirms we are doing something quite exciting. The momentum of support has been overwhelming. For us it was most important to get Greenwich on board because that accredited it all.'
The play follows Norton, who on the day of his 21st birthday finds out the abusive father he's lived with all of his life is not his biological father. It is a black comedy about fatherhood, growing up and Smoky Bacon crisps.
James Haddrell, artistic and executive director at Greenwich Theatre, said: 'The Albion Company boasts an impressive list of supporters, including Olivier Award-winning playwright, Simon Stephens, they have the potential to be one of the most significant interventions in new writing over the next decade.
'This year we're supporting five shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, including one that we've produced ourselves called Keeping Up With the Joans, a new play by an award-winning writer called Philip Meeks and starring Susan Penhaligon (Bouquet of Barbed Wire) and Katy Manning (Dr Who).'
You can also see Broke, by The Paper Birds, at Greenwich Theatre before it heads off to Edinburgh. Broke was created through verbatim interviews with people about their experience with money, including different kinds of debt.
'This will be the fourth year I've been to Edinburgh,' said James. 'The first year we worked on one show, then five and last year we worked on nine, winning an award and getting some great national reviews. I'll be seeing four or five shows a day in Edinburgh, it's a lot of work but I absolutely love it.'
The five shows going to Edinburgh are Keeping Up With The Jones, Hot Cat, Broke, Red Tap/Blue Tiger and Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story. Three will also play at Greenwich Theatre: Broke (Friday 25 July, 8pm, tickets £8.50), Red Tap/Blue Tiger (Saturday 26 July, 8pm, tickets £8.50) and Keeping Up With The Joans (Tuesday 26 August to Saturday 30 August, tickets £18.50/£16).

Research Abstract
Nearly two thirds of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and End Stage Renal Disease will die prematurely from cardiovascular causes. Understanding pathologic mechanisms and developing tools for evaluation of cardiac function in dialysis patients is necessary for developing preventive strategies and therapeutic intervention.
Our major focus of clinical research will examine a potential cause of sudden cardiac death in patients with chronic renal insufficiency and renal failure. Patients with chronic kidney disease, and ESRD in particular, commonly demonstrate a parasympathetic neuropathy. Measurement of heart rate beat-to-beat variation permits an accurate assessment of sympatho-vagal tone affecting cardiac electrical conduction. Our initial provocative data suggest a significant, though paradoxical, worsening of autonomic function in dialysis patients with beta blockers and ACE inhibitors, both of which are known to protect against cardiac death in the general population. Changes in cardiac output, central blood volume, peripheral vascular resistance, and left ventricular function will be studied as both drugs affect hemodynamics and intracardiac baroreceptors. A novel, non-invasive ultrasound method will be refined with the assistance of private industry scientists and used to measure these hemodynamic parameters.
A second area of clinical research will investigate the role of mineralocorticoid receptor blockade in individuals on hemodialysis using spironolactone with the aim of reducing cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in this high-risk population. The initial phase of this study involves an examination of safety and efficacy on surrogate markers such as LVH (assessed with gated MRI), cardiac function, and quality of life.

A student program at Miami Dade College's InterAmerican Campus competes for a chance at funding from Mobilize.org and the Knight Foundation during the Target 2020 Florida Summit at Deauville Beach Resort in Miami Beach, where more than 100 South Florida community college students spent the weekend discussing and tackling the biggest challenges facing young South Floridians.
Joshua B. Young, director of Miami Dade College's (MDC) Institute for Civic Engagement and Democracy (formerly the Center for Community Involvement), has been selected to receive the Dr. Charles R. Dassance Student Advancement Award, which honors individuals who have contributed outstanding service to the advancement of student development. The award will be presented by the Association of Florida Colleges at its Annual Spring Conference Awards Luncheon on May 18 in Orlando, FL.
A new voter-assistance website called TurboVote targeted for Miami-Dade College students is offering voting assistance in a convenient way. Students will now be able to start the voter registration process through TurboVote and also request an absentee ballot through the website.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. worked for increased opportunity for all Americans, much like we at Miami Dade College work daily toward improving the lives of individuals in our community through higher education. In remembrance of Dr. King's birthday and legacy on Monday, Jan. 16, the College's Center for Community Involvement (CCI) is offering us additional ways to give back to the community.
Miami Dade College (MDC) has been awarded a two-year grant from Campus Compact, a non-profit coalition of nearly 1,200 college and university presidents who are committed to fulfilling the civic purposes of higher education, to launch Connect2Complete (C2C), a peer advocacy initiative to help community college students stay in school and graduate. C2C also aims to increase student civic engagement and leadership in the college and community. MDC is one of only three institutions in the state selected to pilot the Campus Compact-funded project, which is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The MDC Center for Community Involvement, in partnership with Florida Campus Compact, will launch the project at the Wolfson Campus in the 2012 spring term. MDC is one of nine colleges in the nation selected to participate.
For 50 years, Miami Dade College (MDC) has maintained a solid reputation for community involvement and dedicated public service performed by its students, faculty and staff on behalf of thousands of citizens both locally and nationwide. It comes as no surprise that recently, nearly 100 MDC student leaders - the highest total out of 1,400 colleges, universities, and high schools nationwide - applied to serve with City Year, an organization created 20 years ago on the belief that young people in service can be a powerful resource for addressing our nation's most pressing issues.
Miami Dade College's (MDC) reputation for exemplary service-learning and civic engagement, both as an institution and for its individual faculty and student projects, has been recognized on the national level once again. This time, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) recently named MDC to its 2010 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, which recognizes colleges and universities whose work in the community has helped achieve meaningful results.
Miami Dade College was awarded a $559,842 Learn and Serve America grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service. The grant will be used to encourage teachers to implement service learning into educational settings. It will also support the Learn and Serve Legacy project, a joint-effort between MDC's center for community involvement and school of education.
The college will be recognized in October with the 2010 Higher Education Civic Engagement and Faculty Leader of the Year awards.
Miami Dade College's renowned Center for Community Involvement is one of the nation's largest programs of its kind. Much of the Center's success stems from its active director, Josh Young, who was recently named "Florida's Big Brother of the Year" by the Big Brothers Big Sisters Association of Florida, an organization he has served for 15 years.
Students, faculty and staff who crave organic fruits and vegetables in their diet, but have been constrained by costly price tags, can now pick up their produce at Miami Dade College's (MDC) Wolfson Campus CROPS.
For the third consecutive year, a Miami Dade College student has won Florida Campus Compact's top service award. In fact, Stephanie Del Pino, from MDC's Kendall Campus Honors College, is the only student to receive a 2009 Excellence in Service Award in the Community/State College category and who will also receive the President's Volunteer Service Award this year.
After a rigorous selection process, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching announced it has selected Miami Dade College (MDC) for its 2008 Community Engagement Classification. MDC was recognized for its extensive community involvement initiatives - particularly for helping first generation and disadvantaged students attend college and for its well-known service-learning program.
College prep students in Professor Suzanne Pearl's reading classes on Wolfson Campus learn to expand their vocabulary while contributing to the fight against world poverty. Pearl took advantage of a novel website www.freerice.com that provides online players with vocabulary and trivia games then rewards each correct answer with a donation of 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program.
The State Farm Youth Advisory Board has awarded Miami Dade College (MDC) with a $68,344 service-learning grant.

Designer, Central Saint Martins graduate, and British Fashion Award for emerging menswear designer winner Grace Wales Bonner's collections breech the artificial boundaries of cultural inspiration in fashion. Wales Bonner's ready-to-wear offers a predominantly cross-cultural aesthetic, intersecting African and West Indian inspirations with silhouettes that defy conventional Western proportions. Trousers and t-shirts alike show immaculate attention to detail; denim comes in retro-influenced cuts, and tailored jackets appear in sensual velvet or with opulent embroidery. Together, they tell a story of globalization and evolving visions of masculinity.

Referral SaaSquatch: Meeting accounting deadlines and improving forecasting and business performance
About Referral SaaSquatch
Referral SaaSquatch helps companies acquire new customers through recommendations from their existing customers. Its SaaS-based customer referral program platform encourages, tracks, and fulfills rewards for successful referrals. Its client list includes LogMeIn, 99Taxis, Western Union, Tile, and Typeform.
About Stitch
Stitch is a fully managed extract, transform, load (ETL) service built for developers that connects to multiple data sources and streams data to companies' data warehouses, enabling developers to provision data for analysts in minutes, not weeks.
Google Cloud results
- Saves tens of thousands of dollars by avoiding buying specialized analytics tools or using additional engineering resources
- Queries that take up to 30 minutes with other solutions are done in under a minute using BigQuery
- Met FASB reporting deadline
It's common knowledge—and studies back it up—that referrals from friends not only help people discover brands and products but they also lead to purchases most of the time. But word of mouth marketing relies on organic and random communications between people who are often too busy to spread the word on their own. Referral SaaSquatch offers a platform that makes it easy for companies to help their customers recommend their products and services to others. The Referral SaaSquatch platform helps companies figure out how to reward customers for making referrals and includes analytics tools to see in seconds how the referrals are performing. It is the single biggest acquisition channel for some of its customers. Referred customers typically purchase products at twice the rate of non-referred customers. Referral SaaSquatch has had more than a 100% year-over-year growth rate.
Referral SaaSquatch faced two pressing challenges: First, it needed to meet a fast-approaching deadline from the Financial Accounting Services Board (FASB) for reporting company finances. Because Referral SaaSquatch is a subscription business, the company must report its revenue according to when it earned the revenue, not just when it collected it. Referral SaaSquatch also wanted to uncover metrics that would help it report on business performance to executives, investors, shareholders, and employees and take measures to improve the company, such as reduce customer churn rates.
Referral SaaSquatch needed a business intelligence tool to solve both problems. After testing half-a-dozen potential solutions, it chose BigQuery because it was more simple and affordable to set up and use and could scale as Referral SaaSquatch's data needs grew. To import data into BigQuery, it turned to Stitch, a service that helps companies extract, transform and load (ETL) data between databases. Stitch enables customers to stream data to their data warehouse from databases, SaaS tools, ad networks, and more, cutting the time it takes developers to provision data from weeks to minutes."BigQuery's point-and-click configuration makes it simple to set up. Once we set it up, we found it was better at analyzing data and yielding useful business insights," says Logan Volkers, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Referral SaaSquatch.
Meeting the FASB deadline
After choosing BigQuery, Referral SaaSquatch had to get data into its data warehouse for BigQuery to analyze. Referral SaasQuatch used Stitch's data integrations to quickly populate its warehouse by importing data from multiple sources, including Referral SaaSquatch's own financial data, its website performance metrics, Salesforce, public information about international exchange rates, and others. Stitch's ability to easily import data was key to helping Referral SaaSquatch meet the FASB deadline. Volkers says, "With Stitch, you don't need a big data science team to load data into your data warehouse." It let Referral SaaSquatch consolidate data into BigQuery and then run queries to find the answers it needed.
After moving to BigQuery, Referral SaaSquatch was able to quickly get results that helped it comply with the FASB reporting deadline. It searched Google to find a SQL query for calculating deferred revenue, then adapted the results for a BigQuery search of its data warehouse, which provided a foundation for solving the company's revenue-recognition issue. In a single afternoon, it had audited months of its revenue from scratch, saving the company time and money. With BigQuery and Stitch, Referral SaaSquatch avoided having to manually export and manipulate data in Excel, which would have made auditing and ad hoc analysis extremely difficult and time consuming. Without BigQuery, Referral SaaSquatch would have spent tens of thousands of dollars on specialized analytics tools or additional engineering resources, Volkers says."Using the combination of Stitch and BigQuery, we've become a data-oriented company, which helps us improve the way we work and ensures we better meet our customers' needs. Stitch provides the magic that makes BigQuery work, because Stitch is what gets stuff into BigQuery. You don't need a big data science team to load data into your data warehouse," Volkers says.
Improving Referral SaaSquatch business performance
Referral SaaSquatch has also gotten more clarity around performance and how its business works to help guide its decision making. Specifically, it's using the technology to analyze data such as churn rate, successful rates of sales calls, and how long it takes to implement referral programs. It uses these metrics for financial reporting, forecasting, and customer behavior analysis. The metrics are shared with the CEO, department heads, and employees so they can better understand how the business is being run and fix what is not working well. For example, Referral SaaSquatch now can do seasonal forecasting more easily."As a startup, being able to accurately forecast and report on our cash flows and revenue alongside other business metrics is a key requirement to managing our burn, raising money and planning for the future," Volkers says. "Thanks to Stitch and BigQuery we've gone from insights updated quarterly to data updated within the hour."
Referral SaaSquatch now has an accurate view of customer activities, which helps reduce churn. It also analyzes customer behavior and uses that information to improve the product interface and feature set. With BigQuery, Volkers says, "We've gotten a lot more clarity and certainty around how our business works." BigQuery offers Referral SaaSquatch speed, scalability, auditability and a full business intelligence platform, rather than a custom solution aimed only at financial accounting. So Referral SaaSquatch can correlate different types of data with one another to quickly find answers to questions about business information such as churn rates. Queries that would take up to 30 minutes with other solutions complete in BigQuery in under a minute, Volkers says."The time to get value using Stitch and BigQuery was incredibly fast; we were set up and querying our data in under a day. The combination of Stitch and BigQuery answered our data needs before other vendors even answered our sales inquiries," says Volkers.

Economy: As national events such as tax reform and immigration policy shape the overall economic climate, Denver remains a strong local market. The metro economy is bolstered by fundamentals such as steady population and job growth, above-average GDP growth, and the intangible quality of life factors that attract new talent and companies.
Capital Markets: Denver CRE investment activity is strong, but beginning to slow as investors respond to volatility in the financial markets and political uncertainty. Denver pricing and foreign investment will continue to trend upward as the market shows its strength in returns against the U.S. average.
Office: 2018 will bring moderation to Denver's office sector. Demand will need to work overtime to match the pace set by supply early in the year. Expiring high-profile energy leases create uncertainty, but overall leasing activity is expected to remain strong as Denver continues attracting both the demand and supply of labor.
Industrial: The Denver Industrial market is poised for more growth after a strong 2017, as solid economic fundamentals and e-commerce fuel demand. Vacancy may rise as older space is vacated in favor of new, but lease rates will continue their upward swing since new and well-located properties fetch a premium.
Retail: The overall outlook for Denver retail is positive, reflected in the heightened construction activity. More department store closures are on the horizon, but the healthy economy should boost retail fundamentals through 2018.
Multifamily: Denver's economy still shines and its population growth is feeding demand for multifamily. In 2018, strong net absorption should bolster the market as new unit deliveries ramp up. Softening will occur in submarkets with particularly elevated supply headwinds.
Other sectors covered: Hospitality, Medical Office and Land

Handling/proper socialization is something we think is very important, especially for a dog that will weigh at least 50lbs when full grown.

Police: Speeding driver crashes into tree, dies
Minivan flees from police, crashes, investigators say
A Baltimore man seen driving erratically overnight has died after crashing into a tree, police said.
Anne Arundel County police said they received two calls reporting the erratic driver shortly before 1 a.m. near the city-county line in the area of Fort Smallwood Road.
A police officer patrolling the area spotted the vehicle, a minivan, traveling erratically and swerving across Fort Smallwood Road near Edwin Raynor Boulevard in Pasadena. The officer attempted a traffic stop, but the driver fled, police said.
Minutes after 1 a.m., police found the minivan at Mountain Road near Fairwood Road, where it had struck a tree, causing extensive damage and killing the driver.
Police identified the drive as Amon Samuel Whitee, 25, of Baltimore. There were no other occupants in the minivan, police said.
Investigators said evidence suggests excessive speed as a primary cause of the crash. It was not immediately known whether alcohol or drugs were contributing factors.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call police at 410-222-8573.

Tours that I compete on:
My name is Mianne Bagger and I'm a touring professional golfer. I am Danish born and have been a resident of Australia for many years and I compete on tours in Europe and Australia. The ALPG Tour in Australia is played predominantly throughout the East Coast and the Ladies European Tour and also their feeder tour, LET Access tour, are at various destinations throughout Europe.
My site provides information and updates on my progress, along with some information about me and my life. I have travelled a different journey than most, prior to competing on tour, which is one that makes me unique both as a professional golfer and as a sportswoman. I like to play down my past and focus on my golf, but my life has also led as an example for the purposes of education and awareness with diversity of all people in all sports. National and International sport is dominated today by rigid [Western] stereotypes, particularly as they apply to women, which continues to make sport an unattainable option for many people. These stereotypes and constraints are sadly out of touch with medical science and serve a greater role for the commercial nature of sport, at the expense of many women's lives.
The intention of my site is to give a bit of insight into the kind of person I am and hopefully to help educate on areas of natural diversity in sport and in life. As much as I'm just another woman on tour, my life is one that provides an example that people of diversity can still achieve what ever goal they set their heart on. Hopefully my site and my life will help others find hope and inspiration in their lives as well.

Elements Of Style
WHAT THE HELL, Y'ALL??? We have snow. In November. Like a few inches of the stuff. I am not prepared for this one bit. IN fact I am quite cranky about it. Oliver on the other hand is all "MOM! MOM! DO YOU SEE THIS??!!! SNOOOOOOWWW!" (And yes, I painted my front door black)
So while I try to gather my wits about me to venture outside to the studio here are some cozy accent for self and home to keep you cozy during this icky weather.
1. How funny are these Club Monaco hats? My thoughts exactly.
2. A cozy Kate Spade faux fur infinity scarf to block out the chill.
3. No fireplace? Light this candle and fill your house with the smell of one.
4. Fatwood firestarters– prettier next to your fireplace than Duraflames.
5. J.Crew cashmere gloves that still allow you to text.
6. A Swans Island wool blanket to keep warm.
7. Vintage lion andirons to dress up your fireplace.
8. I just bought this wine colored J. Crew sweater!
9. A yummy navy velvet and brass chair to curl up in and read.

Daniel. That's a good tip. I'll check how much influence it has. Anyway, the amount of data in this mentioned screen does not take that much to transfer. There's still job for CPU to do. But this can come as a life saver in some other part.

And the main problem with the data from the DSP is marked with * . This is crawling problem from right to left - It's not in constant place.
I really do appreciate the work you team do for us - "the consumers" It's an invaluable job.

As this is your code, maybe you have the possibility to create a log file when the demo runs to print the data you received from the DSP, then we could compare with the emulated version and try to see which part of the DSP code could be wrongly emulated ? (assuming it's a bug in the dsp part, it could be somewhere else)

800 is horizontal size, 600 is vertical size. But this was only curiosity, as I don't have "Use extended VDI screen" marked.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
AMD miners already have an sgminer fork with X14 support and now Nvidia miners also have support for the X14 algorithm thanks to the djm34 fork of ccMiner (source). There are still not many X14 coins as it was just launched not long after X15 appeared, but we are probably soon going to see more than just X14Coin. Aside from the X14 support the fork also adds support for the Qubit algorithm, so if toy are interested in it you can also try it out. We have tested the new X14 support on a GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPU and we got a hashrate of about 2000 KHS on it.
We have compiled a windows binary of the new miner and you can download it from the link below. Do note that the windows binary is compiled for Compute 3.0 and 3.5+ (32-bit version only) in a single binary, so it will not work on older cards. If you are unsure what version of Compute does your video card support check the included GPU Compute Capabilities List file. It is also compiled with Visual Studio 2012, so if you do not already have Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 you will have to download and install it, otherwise you may be getting error for a missing DLL library.

With fall just around the corner, I wanted to focus on a FRESH AIR charity for this Charity Tuesday. There is really nothing better than stepping out onto your front porch to breathe in the cool, clean, crisp air of fall. As the leaves begin to turn into beautiful reds, oranges and yellows, I would like to feature The Fresh Air Fund as Filter's Fast Charity Tuesday pick. With many charities focused on providing fresh water to people around the world, it is refreshing to see a charity that understands the importance of fresh air. In particular, the Fresh Air Fund in New York City has provided free summer experiences in the country to more than 1 million inner city children since it began in 1877.
The Fresh Air Fund provides two different avenues for inner-city children to experience the country. For many children, this is their first time under America's starry sky without the interruption of harsh city lights. Fresh Air Fund camps host 3,000 children between the ages of eight to 15 yearly. These camps are split up by age, special needs, and gender, allowing parents to choose the most suitable camp for their child. Many children who have never been outside of the city are able to experience swimming, milking a cow, cabin living and fishing among many other activities. There are also year-round day and weekend camping trips available.
The Fresh Air Fund also provides 5,000 children with the opportunity to spend two or more weeks with a host family in 13 Northeastern states through their Friendly Town Program. Here, children from disadvantaged New York City communities have the opportunity to live in a small rural/suburban community. Being a host family for the Fresh Air Family means that you are providing a child with the opportunity to experience life outside of the city and it is rewarding for both you and the child you are hosting!
The Fresh Air Fund is a nonprofit organization that is able to provide these great opportunities due to peoples generous donations. It is easy to make a tax-deductible donation in any amount on their secure website. If you understand the importance of clean fresh air, and outdoor activities for children, then The Fresh Air Fund is the charity for you.
*Speaking of fresh air, the Fall can bring unwanted air contaminants into your home, decreasing your homes indoor air quality. If you are concerned about the air quality inside your home, an air filter or air purifier will help significantly!

NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Crew members on the George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf say they sometimes can't find a working toilet aboard because of plumbing outages.
The crew members say the lack of working toilets aboard the ship, which began its first combat deployment in May, has affected their morale, health and job performance, The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot reported Tuesday.
The mother of one sailor aboard the ship sent out a press release during the weekend about the widespread toilet outages.
"The sailors aboard the USS George H.W. Bush have already endured nearly six months with an unhealthy 'inconvenience' that most civilians would not tolerate for six hours," Mary Brotherton wrote.
Her son, Petty Officer 1st Richard Frakes, said in an e-mail interview he sometimes has had to search nearly an hour for a working toilet.
"It definitely affects my morale," said Frakes, an aviation mechanic. "When I was unable to relieve myself for two days, I was irate to say the least."
Some sailors aboard the ship told the Navy Times they've urinated in sinks, showers and bottles and say some have developed infections from putting off going to the bathroom.
Brotherton said her son told her he had been limiting food and water intake so he didn't need use the bathroom as often, and that can cause dehydration.
The Virginian-Pilot said the problem has been caused by the vacuum system that pulls water through 250 miles pipe aboard the ship -- the first aircraft carrier with a vacuum system, similar to the ones on commercial airplanes and cruise ships.
The Navy told the newspaper in a written response to questions most of the outages -- and the ones that take longest to fix -- have been caused by sailors flushing "inappropriate material or items" down the toilets.

The host for the Rugby WC 2011 will be announced this afternoon.
The countries bidding for this is: South Africa, Japan and New Zealand
Most people agree that with their lack of infrastructure, Hotel Rooms and small stadia's NZ is basically out of the running. The only thing they have is a very big Rugby Culture, which does count for something, but if they are to host this, I'll be mightily surprised.
Japan is a strong contender. The IRB would like to expand the game to Asia, they have a very good Infrastructure with World Class Stadia's, but the fact that they aren't a Rugby playing Powerhouse, time zones, and that it is quite expensive to travel in Jap can count against their bid.
SA will have hosted the 2010 Football WC so will have the some of the world's best Stadias available. Very strong rugby playing nation, and they have backed the growing of the game throughout Africa by creating the African Leopards.
Most people think it will be a two-way fight between Japan and SA.
My heart wants it to come to SA, but I don't know, Japan has a strong case too, and who knows, NZ may surprise us...
But I will stand firm by my hope that SA will get it
What's your thoughts, who do you think will clinch it?

I recently made the decision to seek genetic counseling and testing to determine if, given my history of cancer, my daughter was also at risk for contracting the disease. Turns out, she very well may be.
My first step in the genetic testing process was to see if I carried either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. If I tested negative, I would then have the option to go deeper and do further testing. Given my known family history and all of the relevant factors, I knew I had a relatively low 7.5% chance of testing positive for one of the mutuations. So I was surprised this week to learn that I had indeed tested positive for a BRCA1 deleterious mutation. In other words, I have the cancer gene.
So what exactly does this mean for me and my family? I spoke at length with my very kind and knowledgeable Genetics Nurse Practitioner at Vanderbilt's Hereditary Cancer Clinic about the many potential ramifications of having hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer syndrome.
First, the fact that I have the BRCA1 mutation means that I am at an increased risk for breast cancer. We also now know that this is the reason I contracted widespread gynecologic cancer (originating in the Fallopian tubes and metastacizing to the ovaries, uterus and beyond) in the first place.
And my "increased risk" of contracting breast cancer is high. Quite high. I actually have an 87% chance of contracting breast cancer in my lifetime. (With this mutation, I had a 44% chance of contracting ovarian cancer in my lifetime, and we know how that went down.) My genetics nurse practitioner explained that I had "already lived through" part of my lifetime odds on the breast cancer risk, being that I have 45 breast cancerless years under my belt. Nonetheless, the odds of me getting breast cancer are uncomfortably and unacceptably high. So much so that a bilateral prophyactic mastectomy - removing both breasts as a preventative measure - is recommended.
I lost my ovaries and now I'm going to lose my breasts? For someone still recovering from her last major surgery to remove all of her female organs and then some, it was a lot to take in. It would be a lot for anyone to take in. Maybe even more so for a healthy, younger woman. Unfortunately, young healthy women are faced with decisions such as this every day now. And our daughter may actually become one of those women.
We now know that our daughter has a 50% chance of having the same mutation. If we learned this when she was 25 years old instead of one, she would be facing decisions about preventative surgeries just like I am. The thought of her being so young and faced with the possibility of losing her breasts and ovaries is heartbreaking. Fortunately for her, she's too young for these to become issues. She can't even be tested until she's 18. Our hope is that medical science will have made tremendous strides in cancer fighting treatment in the next 24 years. Ideally, by the time this is an issue for our daughter, a cure will have been found. And if not a cure, laser-pinpointed treatment will hopefully have been perfected that is tailored to her DNA so that any cancer can be eradicated as soon as it appears.
In the meantime, my younger brother and mother will be tested to see if they carry the mutuation. The goal in tracking down the source is so that we can notify other pertinent family members so they can be tested or take precautionary measures as necessary.
As for me, I'll continue to visualize healthy pink cotton candy insides and hope that I can have the breast surgery this summer, when -- best case scenario -- I will have been one year cancer-free. (If I am having a recurrence of my gyn cancer, this will have to be dealt with before any preventative measures are taken.)
When I told my husband this latest news, he responded, "Can't we get a break?!"; and I admit my initial thoughts were somewhere along those lines. But then, I thought, we have gotten breaks. Lots of very important breaks.
- My cancer was found before it became too late to treat, something that would not have happened had I not had an unplanned C-section.
- We have a healthy, perfect baby.
- We now know what caused my cancer, and I can take steps to hopefully prevent new cancer from forming elsewhere.
- My daughter will not be caught off guard by cancer. It will already be on her radar.
- And we found each other.
These are the important breaks. I can deal with anything else that might be thrown our way. We have each other. We're happy; we're together and we're here.
