Choosing Sex, Compensating Donors and Egg Banks: The NHMRC is calling for our thoughts on IVF
Australia is reviewing its policy on IVF sex selection, compensating egg donors and egg banks. They have asked for submissions with our thoughts on this. My submission is below. The Working Committee has developed a range of case studies that illustrate the issues that arise. You can read more about each of these case studies here:
You can also make your own submission here:
Also, I invite you to read this illuminating article by Tereza Hendl on the topic of sex selection in The Conversation:
Appendix 3a Sex selection for non-medical purposes
I am heavily in favour of the existing laws remaining as they currently are. This is largely due to the inherently forceful application of gender norms upon children whose sex has been chosen. I wholeheartedly agree with the 2007 guidelines which state that admission to life should not be conditional upon being a particular sex. I address the case studies in the following ways:
Family Balancing: none of the four scenarios in this case study present a strong enough argument for sex selection, in my opinion. Rather, all four of the scenarios demonstrate an assumption that gender is tied to sex, and expectation that an child of a particular sex will display particular gender characteristics. This is a problem because it reinforces gender norms.
Replacement of a Child: While this case carries much more sympathy that the scenarios in the Family Balancing case, they essentially come back to the same problem – that there is an assumption that a child of one sex with ascribe to a particular gender, and will be somehow similar to the previous child who was or was not of that gender. I cannot support sex selection in this case.
Travelling Overseas for Sex Selection: In these scenarios we are presented with good evidence for why IVF in Australia should be more readily available and cost effective, but not good evidence for why sex selection should be allowed. While some patients will continue to travel overseas for treatment, in order to gain sex selection, it is my opinion that Australian clinics should counsel patients as to WHY they wanted sex selection, and continue to offer them safe and regulated treatment NOT including sex selection. This would mean that more parents might be encouraged to stay in Australia for their treatment, and have the opportunity to address any assumptions they have about gender and their future child.
Respecting Parental Autonomy: These scenarios present exactly the problems I have been outlining in the previous three case studies. Parents should be counselled to realise that their happiness does not depend on their child fulfilling certain gender expectations, and to try and do so is potentially detrimental to the child's own mental health.
Other potential Uses: The is an obvious flaw here in that sex selection will not determine whether the child will or will not inherit the condition that the parents do not desire. However, there is a more significant problem, in that parents and society more generally are not able to value individuals who are seen as 'disabled' in some way. We must work against this assumption, just as we are with gender norms, to realise that those who have been diagnosed with some form of 'disorder' are not limited, or lacking potential. Rather, these people possess incredibly valuable personal qualities that can make them hugely significant contributors to our communities.
Appendix 3b Compensation of Australian women for the reproductive effort and risks associated with donating their eggs
It seems that the important distinction to be made is how much egg donors are compensated and what constitutes the difference between compensation and inducement. I would suggest that it is currently common practice for donor-recipients to compensate their egg donors all the costs referred to as 'reasonable out-of-pocket' expenses, including medical, counselling, loss of earnings, travel, accommodation, insurance and legal advice. It may be useful then, to have some kind of regulation around these costs, to make the line between 'reasonable' and 'unreasonable' costs clearer for all parties. So long as the egg-donor was only reimbursed, and not able to actually make a profit from donating, I see no reason why these regulations should not be brought into place. This would increase options for donor-recipients greatly, as more women might be willing to donate, particularly to not-previously-known donor recipients. However, I suspect that the numbers of voluntary donors might still remain low, since this system would not essentially be any different from the current system based on altruism, just more regulated.
Appendix 3c 3c Establishment of an Australian donor egg bank
An egg bank would have the benefit of regulating how children may continue to access their donors, and information about them throughout their lives. Donors would also be able to continue to access information about any children that were born as a result of their donation. However, donors should not be able to contact children unless parents and children have specifically requested this.
I am in support of the establishment of an Australian donor egg bank, under certain conditions. Eggs which have been frozen, but unused, by women who undertook their own IVF cycles, should be available for donation, but not for any compensation. This should only be the case once that woman has completed her own family, to reduce the risk of her regretting the decision to donate. Since the woman's costs involved in the procedure have already been covered by herself, she should not incur any further costs in choosing to donate the eggs that she no longer wants to use. This would essentially mean that she would not be compensated more than other egg donors, who would be provided with nothing beyond 'reasonable out-of-pocket' expenses.
Egg sharing, where women are compensated costs for IVF in exchange for donating some of their eggs should not be allowed. Women who need IVF to conceive should have completed their own families before being able to donate to the egg bank, particularly if they have not been able to conceive easily themselves. This will reduce the likelihood of women who are currently undergoing IVF, donating their eggs, and later feeling that they 'lost' the 'good' eggs to a donor-recipient. This is a separate issue to women who wish to donate to an egg bank prior to choosing to start their own families. This should be allowed, so long as they have received significant counselling about the impact of potentially donating eggs, if natural conception does not come so easily for them later. In this case, women should be compensated, just as they would be if it were an altruistic donation to a known donor-recipient.
Egg Freezing: Helpful or Pressurising?
(Please note: I use this image ironically.)
Yesterday, Professor William Ledger wrote an opinion peice in The Age on fertility and the problem of an aging population. Ledger is head of UNSW Medicine's School of Women's and Children's Health and professor of obstetrics and gynaecology. You can read the opinion piece here:
I also attended Ledger's lecture last night, entitled, "The Ticking Clock: Demographic Change and Future Families" presented with social researcher Mark McCrindle at UNSW. I appreciated how Ledger's discussion of IVF in older women was preceded by McCrindle's thoughtful analysis of demographics in Australia and how they have changed. There were moments, particularly at the end of Ledger's question time, when he seemed to be suggesting that it was a simple thing for women to choose to have their families earlier, that they should be prioritising finding their partners and 'settling down' over career or other goals. I found this uncomfortable on a number of levels, not the least of which was the suggestion that women should settle with a partner they might not otherwise have wanted children with, just because they feel the pressure of their 'ticking clock'. McCrindle's demonstration was a welcome relief to this simplistic idea of young women's lives. McCrindle argued that society is changing, and that the pressures of housing and income make the fairytale of 'a house and kids' less available to most young people.
Of course I am not ignoring the fact that while our generation can expect to have a longer lifespan than any before it, and therefore to spread out our life experiences, a woman's window for fertility does not change. Certainly, I am taking what I consider Ledger's most helpful piece of advice to dinner conversations with friends: if you are over 30, and not sure when you plan to have kids, get your AMH tested so that you have some idea of how many fertile years you have left. The AMH test is a simple blood test, and should cost less than $100. For giving yourself some indicator of when menopause will happen, this seems like a good investment. If you find out that you are one of the unlucky ones who will run out of eggs sooner rather than later, then you have the option to freeze some eggs, and keep them in the bank for later.
The thing that surprised me the most about sitting in this lecture was watching the audience's reactions. I had not realised how few people understood that IVF does very little to fix the age of eggs. In fact, women in their 40s usually have the same chance of conceiving naturally as they do with IVF. So long as there are no ovulation or fertilisation issues, which there usually aren't, IVF cannot yet do anything to solve the fundamental problem in getting pregnant at this age: that a woman's eggs are not as chromosomally capable as they once were. This means that the egg is unable to develop an embryo, which needs all of the power of the egg to combine the DNA from egg and sperm into a new baby's individual DNA.
Ledger mentioned some emerging research looking at how to help older eggs repair DNA more efficiently, which may reduce the aging process, but is still in the early stage of development and a long way from clinical applications. It was all too clear listening to Ledger that the research needs more funding also, and the research that is being done is primarily directed at this 'older egg' problem, rather than younger women's fertility issues such as Polycystic Ovaries and Endometriosis. While I wholeheartedly agree with the fundamental premise that women and men need more education about fertility, I am also wary that pressuring young women to think about their fertility may cause unnecessary anxiety, particularly in women who are likely to have no problem conceiving once they decide that that is a life course they want to take. Ledger mentioned that, to date, the overwhelming majority of eggs frozen by young women have not been used, suggesting that these women did not need the procedure in the first place. One cannot help but be curious what advantage it is to the business model of IVF clinics to be able to extend their market into the entire demographic of women in their 20s and 30s, not just women who have been unsuccessfully trying to conceive. Perhaps I am synical, but how many more patients and cycles can be marketed and invoiced if this huge new population of women were enticed into the market?
Ledger's one piece of advice that he would give to a woman in her 30s right now, if she wasn't in a relationship, would be to freeze her eggs. While I think this suggestion is rather extreme, I would suggest that if you are in your 30s, and definitely know that you want a child, but don't know how or when that will happen, at least get your AMH test done. It's quick, it's simple, and will more than likely let you know that you have another decade of reproductive years ahead of you. If that test tells you that you would be better off to freeze some eggs, then at least you have that option, and those frozen eggs will be ready for whenever you and your uterus are ready to use them.
IVF Clinic Success Rates
The Australian Boradcasting Corporation recently did an interview with doctors and industry professionals on the efficacy of different IVF clinics in Australia. You can hear the segment here:
I really appreciate how much thought and effort the interviewees make to demonstrate how complex the issues are here. I may be biased, but it seems to me that they are working hard to convince the interviewer that the situation is not so black and white as it appears. In addition to the interviewees comments, I wanted to add a few more concerns.
At least at the beginning of the interview, the interviewer seems to make out that IVF clinics are hiding some raw data number that indicates clinic success rates. On the contrary, just about all clinics self publish their own success rates, as advertising. It is true that there is no way for the public to access the collected and collated data on all clinics, but they can certainly get information on individual clinics and compare those that they are considering using.
One of the biggest factors overlooked by the interviewer, at least at the beginning of the interview, is that the procedures and processes of the clinic are only one (relatively small) factor which will affect a couple's ability to conceive. Far more significant are the couple's overall health status, age, existing hormonal problems, etc. Each of these factors usually outweighs the influence of variations between labs and clinics.
The other thing the stats don't take into account is that there are two very different types of clinics in Australia, publicly and privately funded. The public, Medicare funded clinics typically perform worse than the private, expensive clinics. Part of the reason for this is the demographic of the patients at each clinic. People at Medicare clinics, often have lower socio-economic status than those at expensive clinics, and correspondingly also have lower overall health rates. Further more, even those that do start at the expensive clinics, and find themselves having to go for multiple cycles, will run out of money and end up at the Medicare clinics. By default, these are often the harder cases to get babies from, since they are the cases that have had to go through more cycles, because the problem is not so easily fixed. Medicare clinics also have the same disadvantages of all public health systems, being under resourced to deal with a huge volume of patients, and lacking sustained individualised attention for patients who are treated by whoever is on duty, rather than any one doctor they have chosen to develop a relationship with. This is a problem in something like fertility, where treatment is often long term, and having a doctor who can readily recall the patient's history is an advantage.
Further more, there are potential problems in ranking clinics, and developing competition in their published success rates. There are accusations that American clinics have raised their pregnancy rates by doing much more risky treatments, like transferring embryos to women who are overstimulated (which risks a potentially fatal condition involving built up fluid in the abdominal cavity) and transferring more than one embryo at a time, which brings all the complications of twins and higher miscarriage rates. In these clinics, increased pregnancy rates come along with increased rates of complications, endangering both the woman's current health and her potential to continue trying to conceive. Publishing pregnancy rates also means very little, since pregnancy rates mean nothing if they are not followed by live, healthy baby birth rates. Finally, doctors and clinics who are more concerned about their published success rates are more likely to turn away couples who they think will be 'too hard' to treat, preferring not to risk lowering their published stats, and advertised reputation.
The long and the short of the situation is that it is not as simple as it may seem, and requires detailed and thoughtful attention, like so many of the issues in this area.
Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise
I am very proud to present this beautiful blogpost written by a dear friend who is also courageous, inspiring and one of the most wonderful people on the planet. Enjoy her words 🙂 xx
Confessions of Subfertility
Somewhere along the line doctors must have figured out that it wasn't nice to call people infertile. No one in the medical community has ever called my husband or I infertile, according to them we suffer from 'subfertility'. After four years, seven IVF cycles, twelve cycles of oral and injectible hormone therapies, three pregnancies lost and the cost of a mid-sized new car, we have little hope of ever being able to have genetic children.
Most people that I see on a daily and weekly basis know that this is my reality. There comes a time when it affects so much of your life that you have to be honest with people and let them know why you have to cancel at the last minute, to rush to the clinic, or can't attend their function at a particular time, when you need to be injecting or taking a suppository and letting your body absorb the (hopefully life-giving) medication. Yet there are only a few people who actually know the full details of the journey. These people are special. Some of them learn along with you, riding the tsunami of emotions as you wait, hope and grieve together. The family and friends who choose to take that intimate ride with you are more precious that words could ever express. Another special group of people don't need to know the details, having been there themselves, they can go for months without seeing you and still read the lines on your face to know what every moment has been like. The majority of people have a generalised kind of empathy, or sympathy, for the situation, but can't really get their heads around it. It is for these people that I have decided to write, not because I am looking for sympathy, but so that you can step into someone else's 'subfertile' shoes for a moment, and be more sensitive to their situation.
Yet this is also a kind of love letter to all the past, current and future women and men who have and will be labelled 'subfertile'. I feel for you. One of the best pieces of advice I can offer you is to find a community, a tribe of people who you can be honest with, and who are going through the same thing. For almost a year now, I have been teaching fertility yoga at Genea, one of the biggest fertility clinics in Sydney. In that time I have been privileged to meet and become friends with subfertility patients of all different ages, lifestyles, experiences, beliefs, diagnoses and outcomes. Teaching is a magical renewable resource. You give to your students but somehow always receive so much more back. More than anything else I have done on my own fertility journey, connecting with and supporting other patients has given me perspective, empathy and a community. Not only does it release me from the feeling of profound loneliness in the struggle, it rejuvenates hope, when hope seems impossible. Like many IVF patients, I used to see other women's pregnancies as a threat, an enraging aggressive act of god sent to remind me of my own failure to conceive. Working with pregnant patients helps me remember, as I see the 'happy pregnant woman' on the street that everyone has their own struggles, whether it be around conceiving or not – there is no such thing as an easy life. Except for, perhaps, my dog's. That doesn't seem like too difficult a life.
As much as I can now celebrate other women's pregnancies, they still hurt. They are a bittersweet pain, like my birthday, or Christmas, both being reminders of another childless year. They hurt on the same level as attending our friend's children's birthday parties, particularly those who were conceived since we have been trying. It is similar to the pain of interested inquiries from friendly acquaintances about 'when we will start trying' or if 'we've thought about kids'. The answer is yes, we have thought about it. A lot.
Most people who have never been through fertility treatment can empathise with the difficulties of the treatment itself. The countless internal vaginal ultrasounds, literally thousands of bloodtests, surgeries to pierce ovaries and remove eggs, run dye through fallopian tubes and scrape or burn away uterine lining that has somehow found its way outside the uterus. The process desensitises women from their bodies enough to be able to give themselves multiple injections daily, insert creams and pessaries through the vagina and take nasal sprays and pills that can feel like poison, literally making them sick. The hidden reality is that none of this compares to the pain of losing hope after hope that you will soon hold your baby in your arms. I have had five embryo transfers meaning that the beginnings of a genetic code for five individual babies have entered my uterus but failed to become children. Yet none of them hurt so much one little frozen embryo that looked perfect, but never survived the thawing process to make it back into my body. Somehow this loss felt more personal, like I had spent months looking forward to meeting this frozen baby-beginning, to only be rejected by the child who couldn't even make it back from the petri dish to greet me. Of course this is ridiculous. Of course there is no personal in this process, there is no child refusing to rush into my arms. But that is part of the problem.
They say there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. For patients going through seemingly endless fertility treatments there are only four stages; acceptance is impossible until there is resolution. Each lost fertilised egg, each lost embryo, each lost pregnancy is grieved for as you would grieve the loss of any loved one, or any cherished future. Acceptance is consistently delayed by the onset of the next cycle, offering new hope, and new chances to have that hope devastated. Finally acceptance is achieved in one of two ways, either a baby is born, and all the previous lost babies can be fully grieved, or the couple decides to move on. I have seen patients crushed by this cycle of grief. Unable to work, unable to leave bed for days at a time, unable to continue their lives as they knew it before.
My husband and I are rapidly falling into the incredibly frustrating, ambiguous category of 'unexplained infertility'. Approximately 25% of all couples who seek assisted reproductive technologies (anything from a simple ovulation-induction pill to full blown out IVF-ICSI cycles) are eventually diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility'. In more practical terms, the diagnosis means that the doctors don't know why we can't conceive. Couples like us are usually quite young (late 20s or early 30s), fit and healthy (neither smokers or heavy drinkers, eat healthily and have healthy BMIs), have no genetic mutations that would prevent embryos from developing, and eggs and sperm look perfectly normal under the microscope. The woman's fallopian tubes and uterus look perfect, and there is no endometriosis (abnormal growth of the uterine lining). Sometimes there are underlying issues, as in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, but this condition is so common that one in four women suffer from it, and obviously, most of them conceive without problems. In reality only one in six couples will ever seek fertility treatment, and the majority of these are overcome without needing to resort to IVF at all. In the cases of 'unexplained infertility' doctors, embryologists, scientists and researchers are unable to answer the question of why embryos don't grow. They simply know that they don't, or haven't yet.
One day I hope to be able to update this story. I hope to be one of those 'success stories' that offers others inspiration that 'miracles can happen'. This doesn't necessarily mean I will have my own genetic children. Some of the most inspiring people in my world have found their children through donors, surrogates and adoption. One of these women gave me the best gift anyone has ever given me, in a few simple words. She said:
'No matter what happens, I am here to tell you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Relief is coming, either way.'
It is that that I cling to in my darkest moments, when I am no longer sure it is all worth it. That is also what I want to offer to all the women and men who ever feel utterly, desperately lost to this process. Relief is coming. In the meantime, through the wait, try to dance. Dance literally and figuratively, especially in the rain. It really helps.

We now have our panel of judges. Thanks to Stan, Rajesh and John for volunteering. Now all we need is an army of users to try their applications and flush all the bugs out of the product and documentation for 10.2. Please take a look and participate. http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/RegressionSearchAndDestroy I was rereading the open source classic, "The Cathedral & the Bazaar" by Eric Raymond this weekend and was struck once again by the lessons of open source. These two relate directly to 10.2 testing I think. #8. Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone. #10. If you treat your beta-testers as if they're your most valuable resource, they will respond by becoming your most valuable resource. I believe both of these are very true. Please try 10.2! Kathey

A recent party faux pas made me examine my gift-wrapping habits. Me: "Did you open the hurricane candles yet?" Birthday girl: "No. Is that what you gave me?" Me: "What? Ummm, no. Forget about that. Shoot! Sorry, I didn't put a tag on it."
My MO for years has been throwing a gift into a handled paper bag, making the '80s tissue meringue on top, and flying out the door without putting a card or tag on the prezzie. I take pride in picking thoughtful gifts, so the outside should reflect that, dang it! I've begun my reformation by turning last year's calendar, designed by Jessica Swift, into gift tags. I made a batch using a tag-shaped punch (with three sizes), a small hole punch, and hemp cord.
I went with the archetypal tag silhouette, but the craft store has tons of punch patterns, like lace, scallops, and hearts. Check out these creative hangers on Etsy for more inspiration, then craft some with your own stash of maps, fashion mags, cardboard, and other pretty papers.

Leaders of Learning - A Curriculum for Excellence Project
Leaders of Learning is a national Scottish Government programme leading culture change in schools by putting children and young people at the heart of their learning, and supporting them to achieve their full potential. The Leaders of Learning vision is that all children and young people across Scotland will be effectively included within the education system to become leaders of their own learning.
Leaders of Learning is underpinned by a rights-based approach, ensuring that there is a clear connection between children and young people's entitlements and the lived experience of rights as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The project is also an excellent case study on how partnership working can make the best use of skills across organisations, and collaboration across the third and public sectors. With funding from the Scottish Government, Children in Scotland, Young Scot and Scottish Youth Parliament have been working in partnership to develop and deliver LoL since 2013.
Phase 1
The main objective of Leaders of Learning Phase 1 was understand the barriers and facilitators to implementation of CfE from children and young people's perspectives. Four high schools and five primary schools, including a special school, participated in the project. The following three key themes emerged from the engagement work with children and young people;
- Emotional wellbeing of children and young people and the impact of this on learning
- Involving children and young people in planning around teaching and learning
- Digital literacy and skills as an integral part of learning
Click here to read the Phase 1 Leaders of Learning report
Phase 2
Leaders of Learning Phase 2 built on the themes of Phase One, aiming to make these themes part of practice in teaching and learning across Scotland, through developing and testing out participative approaches within classroom and school wide settings. A National Summit Day brought together over 90 children and young people with 72 delegates from Scottish Government, local authorities, schools and the third sector.

Summary Dortmund finished second in 2015/16.Have sold Hummels, Mkhitaryan and Gündogan.Dembele, Götze and Schürrle among new arrivals. With not long until the 2016/17 Bundesliga season gets under way in earnest, it is high time to put each club's upcoming campaign under the microscope. Accordingly, bundesliga.com's previews will provide you with all you need to know ahead of the big kick-off on 26 August… Head here to take part in the official Bundesliga Predictor - win a trip for two to a Bundesliga match of your choice!Next up are Borussia Dortmund…Big question Borussia Dortmund's points haul of 78 last term would have been enough to deliver the title to the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK in all but four of the 53 Bundesliga seasons to date. Thomas Tuchel proved a resounding success after succeeding Die Schwarzgelben's most successful coach, Jürgen Klopp, at the start of 2015/16. The revolving transfer door has been spinning faster than ever at Dortmund this summer, meanwhile, with captain Mats Hummels and assist-master Henrikh Mkhitaryan amongst those leaving, with FIFA World Cup winners Mario Götze and Andre Schürrle leading the pack who have joined BVB - the former returning emotionally for a second stint at the team with whom he won back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012. With Tuchel's friend and one-time mentor Pep Guardiola leaving FC Bayern München, the big question surrounding BVB is whether the new-look squad can gel quickly enough to challenge and perhaps overhaul the champions in 2016/17. Mario Götze is back at Dortmund after three stop-start seasons with FC Bayern München. New facesNobody has been busier in the transfer market this summer than Dortmund. Ilkay Gündogan may have joined Hummels and Mkhitaryan in leaving, but a perusal of the new arrivals should allow a smile to creep onto the face of even the most pessimistic BVB fan. Götze remains one of the most talented attacking midfielders in the game, and has a point to prove at his first club having been rather under-utilised in Bavaria. He is joined by Schürrle, who after a tepid start last season managed nine goals in 14 Rückrunde games for VfL Wolfsburg. That the signings of former FC Barcelona centre-back Marc Bartra, UEFA EURO 2016-winning left-back Raphael Guerreiro and teenage talents Ousmane Dembele and Emre Mor have had to fight so hard for column inches speaks to the quality of the Ruhr district giants' transfer business. Ousmane Dembele (l.) is one of a number of exciting new signings to have joined BVB this summer. CoachTuchel is a cerebral tactician whose team outscored even champions Bayern last term. Still only 42, the former 1. FSV Mainz 05 coach has instigated some revolutionary training techniques, such as making his defenders train with tennis balls in their hands so that they shed the habit of clutching an attacker's shirt when it comes to game time. Happy to tinker his team mid-game in order to gain an advantage over his opponents, Tuchel is also in the fortunate position of having a number of players who are equally adept at playing a number of roles. Dortmund finished second in Thomas Tuchel's first season in charge last term. Key manDespite the influx of attacking talent at the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK this summer, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remains crucial to Dortmund's chances of success. The top-scoring African in the history of the Bundesliga, the Gabon international combines blistering pace with ever-improving technique and an eye for goal. Scorer of 25 goals in the Bundesliga last term, second only to FC Bayern München's Robert Lewandowski, Aubameyang will be hopeful of at least emulating that figure given the midfield talent just behind him. Pre-season formMost recent first: WLDLWW Key datesDortmund get their 2016/17 campaign underway at home to Tuchel's former club Mainz and will be the first club to play at RB Leipzig's Red Bull Arena in the Bundesliga the following week. The first Revierderby of the season will be at home to FC Schalke 04 on Matchday 9, with the Klassiker against Bayern two weeks later. Home groundThe biggest stadium in Germany, the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK became the first arena in history to enjoy an average attendance of over 80,000 in 2015/16.

Protect Your Contact Centers
Pindrop solutions protect retail industry enterprise call centers by combining authentication and anti-fraud detection technology to assess caller identity while detecting malicious callers. With Pindrop, call centers can:
REDUCE CHARGEBACKS: Pindrop detects suspicious callers who are most likely to commit Card Not Present (CNP) fraud, using stolen credit cards and identities.
IMPROVE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE: With Pindrop, call centers reduce time spent on frustrating authentication processes, letting agents get straight to helping the customer.
REDUCE CALL HANDLE TIME: Pindrop allows agents to streamline authentication processes according to risk, reducing the call handle time for low risk callers.
PROTECT CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS: Criminals socially engineer call center agents to gain access to customer accounts to steal credit card information, or place fraudulent orders. Pindrop identifies these callers during the early reconnaissance phases of the attack.
Identity Assessment + Fraud Detection
Smart Call Center Solutions
Pindrop solutions combine customer authentication and fraud detection for a uniquely smart call center solution that can tell you whether a caller is who they say they are. Until now, call centers have been forced to apply the same level of security to each incoming call. This method is expensive, frustrating for customers, and ineffective at stopping fraud.
Pindrop scores calls according to risk associated with the audio characteristics, geo- location, phone number reputation, and other factors. Within 30 seconds of the start of the call, the agent is shown a pop-up window displaying risk score and custom instructions for how to authenticate the call.
This allows CSRs to assess the true identity of callers, reducing authentication processes for low risk callers, cutting up to 20 seconds off the time of each. At the same time, high risk callers can be subject to greatly increased scrutiny, reducing fraud by 80%.
High-confidence risk scores for all calls and built-in intelligence sharing across enterprises
Assess whether callers are who they say they are and customize authentication procedures based on call risk scores


text: Uniting business across the spectrum17 May 2011 05:12 PM As chairman of the TETRA Association, Phil Kidner spends his life eulogising about a technology that now has the US market in sight. Here, he tells Mark Dye where the market is going'Twenty five percent of all TETRA systems that have ever been deployed have been deployed in Asia,' says, Phil Kidner, chairman of the TETRA Association, revealing the industry's area of biggest growth. 'If you look at all the metros, airports, public safety and the like, you'll see it being used extensively,' he adds.Indeed, Kidner is keen to remind us that TETRA continues to enjoy success in many markets today. And with South America still competing head-on with the very similar P25 technology, he is viewing the US and Canadian markets with particular interest.US potentialAround 15 months ago the TETRA Association, encouraged by the FCC, applied for a waiver to the analogue masks used in the US. Although it is still awaiting the results of this, Kidner says he remains optimistic that he'll see a signature on the paper (see News on p10 for the answer).'In order to take a standard technology to the US it has to be FCC-approved and they have some rules which were originally based on analogue radio because they date back that far and the TETRA digital standard doesn't quite fit,' he adds. 'It's so slight where it doesn't fit that it's almost imperceptible. This was published on Christmas Eve 2009 for consultation and there were some objections based on fear of interference, but there were no technical objections and we've answered all points raised in the public consultation and are hopeful the waiver will happen soon.'In the meantime, TETRA vendors have been running pilots in the US and Canada.US trialsBack in May 2009 it was announced that BC Hydro, the third-largest electric utility in Canada, would trial a TETRA system, using equipment from Teltronic subsidiary, PowerTrunk, and the UK's Sepura.'Clearly they look to be compatible with the US so we're optimistic we'll get those changes in the same time frame as the [US] waiver,' adds Kidner. 'BC Hydro have gone out to tender and we know that TETRA vendors have responded to that tender and are currently evaluating responses to this.'In the US, PowerTrunk has also teamed with NJ TRANSIT, the largest statewide transportation system in the US, for a TETRA land mobile radio network (LMR) pilot in Newark, New Jersey consisting of a two-site network including PowerTrunk-T base stations, mobiles, hand portables, a line dispatcher and a switch to integrate a legacy VHF system. NJ TRANSIT provides bus, rail and light rail transit linking major points in New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia, and has a fleet of 2,027 buses, 711 trains and 45 light rail vehicles which take passengers on more than 223 million trips each year. Although the trial network allowed NJ TRANSIT buses to communicate using voice and data, the current network limits available data bandwidth and is not spectrally efficient, according to Kidner. The trial TETRA network provided higher data bandwidth and 6.25kHz voice equivalency that will meet future FCC narrow-banding requirements.ChoiceKidner says that a similar trial has also seen Sepura, Rohde & Schwarz Professional Mobile Radio and Nielson Communications combine for a TETRA demonstration project comprising three IP-connected base stations and more than 30 Sepura TETRA radios, which went live in Green Bay, Wisconsin in January. As such, he reasons that TETRA looks set to make a big splash in the US when it finally gets the nod. 'It will make a huge difference because America is a huge market and that will lead to further developments and driving down of costs,' he adds. 'Over there, spectrum tends to be a national issue. It's different in Europe where we're looking for a harmonised spectrum where we can have interoperability with current systems. In the US there aren't quite the same drivers. It would probably be individual non-public safety companies implementing TETRA systems and that spectrum would be implemented by the US people.'All we want is for users to have the choice,' he says. 'That's our driver really. We have people who still come to us today who say they're very interested in TETRA, wish they had it in the US but can't. They ask, "what can we do about it?"' SpectrumSo far this year, Kidner says the big story has been LTE, not only driven by public systems but also by what's happening in the US, where it looks like there will be spectrum and money for LTE systems and big communications companies, both with the cellular world and the LAN mobile world getting together to deliver products for them.'I see that as leading the way forward and we have to be doing similar here. And of course, for several years in fact now, the TETRA Association has taken the lead in trying to identify spectrum for broadband communication, maybe knowing that TETRA is not going to go in this spectrum, but at least trying to identify it for our existing users,' he adds. 'So, whatever the technology is, whether it's broadband, TETRA or LTE, there will be spectrum available. And so far we've failed. I think the European countries need to find some harmonised spectrum one way or another and we're working hard and trying to do that.'Even so, Kidner still sees TETRA as having quite a long future simply because there is no other voice communications system that compares with it for critical communications users. 'I want them to have broadband to meet whatever their broadband requirements are and that's why we're working with Etsi to deliver that with TETRA, but that depends on spectrum and finance being available,' he says. 'Clearly the future is either broadband TETRA or TETRA interoperating with broadband. That's the next step in the TETRA evolutionary path.New applications'If you talk about professional radio users - blue light at one end and construction at the other - there's this long continuim and there are lots of technologies targeted at different parts of that spectrum,' he adds.Kidner says that while TETRA technology is scalable across the whole professional user side of things and dominated by public safety systems, there is scope for plenty more in terms of applications. 'We see railways, buses, taxis, metros, utilities, stadia and ports because TETRA is ideally suited for anyone working in groups,' he adds. 'There's huge potential for TETRA outside public safety and of course the other thing to consider is that there are large parts of the world that are likely to want TETRA systems.'Wireless magazine1CommentGuest9th Jun 2011Got it Thanks a lot again for hleipng me out Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

The most important of these is polysomnography, which can almost definitively rule out sleep apnea. In addition, a sleep study can be performed by the patient at his home, it can consist of waking up the patient and seeing how long it takes them to get back to sleep, or it can even test if the patient can remain awake during waking hours.

My dog Oliver is in need of surgery. I think he got out of the yard and in his travels met a neighbor who maced him and broke his leg.
On October 26th my dog was maced and then had his leg broken by some stranger in my neighborhood. He's never shown aggression and wouldn't hurt a fly. He didn't deserve this.
On Sunday night, I came home and found my dog Oliver laying in the yard with one of his front legs shattered. In addition he at some point was maced, which covered his entire face making it almost impossible for him to see / breathe.
After having Oliver in to the vet, they are recommending a minimum of a $3500 surgery to repair his leg and its more money than we have. My other option is to amputate the leg which is $1500 which is also more than I have available.
he last resort is having him put down which I refuse to accept.
If you are able to donate anything, even just 10 dollars, it will help me avoid having to put him down over a broken leg.
My funds have been exhausted just getting him in and out of the emergency care. Sadly, we don't know who did this so we can't hold anyone responsible for the cost.
Anything you are willing to contribute is welcome and will help save Oliver's life!
Thank you
Jeb and Oliver.
FEMA Registration Deadline Extended for Disaster Survivors in Colorado
DENVER – At the request of the state of Colorado, FEMA has approved an extension for storm and flooding survivors to register for federal disaster assistance.
The new registration deadline is November 30, 2013, which is also the new deadline to complete and return low-interest U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loan applications.
Survivors who register may be eligible for federal grants to help cover various disaster-related expenses, including rent, essential home repairs, personal property losses and other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance.
The extension is for all 11 Colorado counties designated for federal Individual Assistance: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, El Paso, Fremont, Jefferson, Larimer, Logan, Morgan and Weld.
People living in these counties who sustained losses due to storms and flooding should register with FEMA even if they have insurance. Applying by the deadline may help survivors avoid a funding shortfall if they later find that they are underinsured or have additional damages.
Under the SBA disaster loan program, homeowners may be eligible for as much as $200,000 in loans to repair or replace their storm-damaged primary residence. Homeowners and renters may be eligible for as much as $40,000 for replacement of personal property. Businesses and private nonprofits may be eligible to borrow as much as $2 million to repair or replace storm-damaged property.
Register with FEMA by phone, 800-621-3362, from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., MST, seven days a week. Multilingual phone operators are available on the FEMA helpline. Choose Option 2 for Spanish and Option 3 for other languages. People who have a speech disability or are deaf or hard of hearing may call (TTY) 800-462-7585; users of 711 or Video Relay Service can call
Register online at:DisasterAssistance.gov"> DisasterAssistance.gov. Register by Web-enabled device, tablet or smartphone: type m.fema.gov in the browser.
Udall Urges Coloradans to Register for FEMA Disaster Assistance Before Fast-Approaching Nov. 14 Deadline'Flood Victims Need to Register for FEMA Assistance Now Before Time Runs Out'
Mark Udall, who has fought to ensure Coloradans have the federal resources they need to recover from last month's devastating flooding, urged flood victims to register for FEMA disaster assistance before the Nov. 14, 2013 deadline — which is one month away. FEMA registration is the first step for survivors of the flooding, landslides and mudslides in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, El Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, Logan and Weld counties. FEMA assistance can provide money for rental assistance, essential home repairs, personal property losses and other disaster-related needs not covered by insurance.
"Even though the flood waters have receded from Colorado, families are still suffering the effects of August's biblical rains. We will recover and Colorado will rebuild, but flood victims need to register for FEMA assistance before time runs out," Udall said. "In the meantime, I will keep fighting to secure every federal resource possible for Colorado communities and flood victims."
Coloradans can register with FEMA:
By phone by calling 1-800-621-3362;
Online at DisasterAssistance.gov; or,
Via a tablet or smartphone through m.fema.gov.
Once they register with FEMA, Coloradans may be eligible for Small Business Administration assistance, including low-interest home-disaster loans and business-disaster loans. Survivors must submit the Small Business Administration application for home and business loans by Nov. 14, 2013. Coloradans have until June 16, 2014 to apply for economic-injury disaster loans, which help businesses and nonprofits confront ordinary financial obligations that could not meet due to the disaster.
Coloradans who are denied FEMA assistance should remain diligent and read determination letters carefully as they may be eligible for appeal of denials or pre-approved amounts of assistance. Those seeking aid have 60 days after the letter was issued to file an appeal, which can be done at a Disaster Recovery Center.
Udall has worked since the flooding began to ensure Colorado communities and agencies have every federal resource they need to save lives, protect homes and start the recovery process. He championed legislation to remove a cap on the amount of emergency transportation funds Colorado can access to repair the state's battered roads, bridges and highways in the wake of the recent flooding. He also has addressed the nation from the U.S. Senate floor to highlight the challenges Colorado has faced since the flood.
24-Hour Ballot Drop-Off Box Reopens at Centennial Hall
[Colorado Springs, Colo. – November 1, 2013] The Clerk and Recorder's Office is pleased to announce that the emergency removal of the concrete slabs near the west entrance of Centennial Hall has concluded and the 24-hour ballot drop-off box will reopen today at 5:00 PM. The replacement 24-hour ballot drop-off box at the Colorado Springs Police Operations Center opened earlier also will remain available to voters in the downtown area.
"I would like to thank GE Construction and El Paso County Administration for their hard work that allowed the Centennial Hall ballot drop-off box to be re-opened quickly," stated Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams. "I would especially like to thank the Colorado Springs Police Department for their flexibility in offering us a replacement location with such short notice. Their commitment to serving our community is an asset to voters in El Paso County."
The Centennial Hall 24-hour ballot drop-off box was closed after an inspection revealed a significant risk with the large concrete slabs over the box and lower entrance. The inspection was undertaken after one of the 2,000 pound slabs fell last week.
New Ballot 24-Hour Drop-Off Location Announced to Replace
Centennial Hall Box Closed Due to Construction
[Colorado Springs, Colo. - October 31, 2013] The El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's Office opened a new 24-hour ballot drop-off location at the Colorado Springs Police Operations Center at 705 S. Nevada Avenue in Colorado Springs. Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams added the new 24-hour ballot drop-off location to replace the drop-off box that was closed at Centennial Hall due to imminent safety issues. Access is still possible through other entrances to the ballot drop-off box and voting site in the lower level of Centennial Hall.
"We opened the first 24-hour drop-off at our main office in 2012. To further improve customer service, we constructed four additional sites this year, including at Centennial Hall. When the safety of our voters caused the closure of that box, we sought other alternatives," noted El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams. "We'd like to thank the Colorado Springs Police Department and Chief Pete Carey for their quick response and willingness to make it even easier for our citizens to cast their ballots." When asked for his assistance, Chief Carey stated that he respected the democratic process and was happy to make the Police Operations Center available for easy access for our citizens. This is a positive way to highlight the partnership CSPD enjoys with El Paso County.
The Police Operation Center 24-hour ballot drop-off location will be available starting at 4:00 PM today through 7:00 PM on Election Day, November 5.
The Centennial Hall 24-hour box was closed after inspection revealed a significant risk with the large concrete slabs over the 24-Hour ballot box and lower entrance to Centennial Hall. The inspection was undertaken after a 2,000 pound concrete slab fell last week. The Clerk and Recorder's Office is working with County Administration to re-open the Centennial Hall 24-hour ballot drop-off box-along with the west facing entrance to the Motor Vehicle Department- as quickly as possible.
While there is no requirement for 24-hour drop off boxes, the Clerk's Office added these as part of an ongoing effort to provide citizen-focused customer service. The replacement site gives voters in El Paso County an unprecedented five 24-hour ballot drop-off locations:
1. Main Office at the Citizens Service Center; 1675 West Garden of the Gods Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80907.
2. Colorado Springs Police Operations Center; 705 S. Nevada Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.

"Ellen's art truly captures the spirit of adventure, skill, mystery and experimentation that drove art forward from the mid-20th century-on. She was among the artists who gave strength and significance to our culture in the Pikes Peak region. I was privileged to include her art in the FAC's 2009 exhibition Colorado Springs Abstract, and I enjoyed her seriousness as an artist and her amazing sense of humor as we planned for her upcoming show. I will deeply miss working with Ellen."
I want to thank Chris Melcher for his service to the City of Colorado Springs and wish him and his family the best. I understand the challenging role of being an attorney for multiple clients, especially when it is a new form of governance. Council is willing to work with the Mayor to help find a new City Attorney. Public service is very demanding and I understand why someone would want to limit their service. I again wish Chris and his family the best through this transition. I look forward to working with the next City Attorney to keep the City moving forward and accomplishing great things for its citizens.
Colorado Springs City Attorney Christopher J. Melcher has announced that will be leaving his position as City Attorney on January 31, 2014.
"It has been a privilege and an honor to have served the City and the Mayor as City Attorney these past two years. I believe public service is the highest and most noble calling, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our community. Serving in this position has allowed me to be a part of two historic achievements for our City: First, the very successful lease of Memorial Hospital to UCH, and the creation of a medical school campus and a community health foundation; and second, assisting in the transition to the new Strong Mayor form of government following voter approval. When I accepted Mayor Bach's request to serve, I agreed to a commitment of two years – and I have enjoyed every day. Now that we have accomplished so many of our goals, it is time for me to return to the private sector."
Mayor Steve Bach appointed Mr. Melcher to the position of City Attorney on October 1, 2011. As City Attorney, Mr. Melcher has been the Chief Legal Advisor to the Mayor, City Council, all Boards and Commissions, Colorado Springs Utilities, Memorial Health System and all other enterprises and appointees of the City. Under Chris Melcher's leadership, the City Attorney's Office has had numerous notable accomplishments including:
· The successful negotiation and completion of the $1.9 Billion Lease of Memorial Hospital to University of Colorado Health, approved by over 82% of the voters in 2012, and the creation of a medical school branch campus.
· The creation of the Colorado Springs Health Foundation, with potential assets in excess of $100 Million and a generational commitment to health and wellness in our community far into the future.
· Providing advice, leadership, and legal guidance to both City Council and the Mayor in the historic transition to a new Strong Mayor form of government following approval of nearly 60% of the voters in November 2010.
· Drafting and approval of a new Election and Campaign Finance Code in 2012.
· Restructuring and upgrading the office of the City Attorney, bringing on a number of new highly talented attorneys, and significantly reducing outside counsel expenses for both the City and Utilities.
· Successful resolution of a number of difficult lawsuits against the City.
Mayor Steve Bach said, "Chris Melcher has been an outstanding leader, attorney and adviser for many working in the City. He is thoughtful, smart and strategic. He loves our city and has done a tremendous amount for us in two years. The success of leasing Memorial Hospital to the University of Colorado Health is due largely to Chris Melcher's tenacity and hard work. We will miss him greatly."
Dick Celeste, community leader, former President of Colorado College and former Governor of Ohio said, "Chris Melcher is a gifted attorney and a dedicated public servant. He has always been guided by what he believes is best for our community and its commitment to a fresh vision for the future."
Prior to serving as City Attorney, Chris Melcher was Chief Legal Officer for Colorado College, where his duties included advice and leadership to the President and the Board on all legal and business issues. Previously, Chris served as General Counsel and senior legal advisor to a number of Fortune 500 companies, and to public and private internet and technology businesses. Early in his career Chris served for many years as a federal prosecutor in Washington D.C. He is a graduate of Yale Law School.
Chris has served on numerous boards, including as a Founding Director and Chair of the Colorado Springs Downtown Development Authority Board and as a Founding Director of the Colorado Springs Chapter of First Tee.
We all know that an Arnold Palmer is a blend of iced tea and lemonade. Many have heard the stories that the Earl of Sandwich asked for his meat to be served between slices of toast, so that he could multitask (playing cards or hunting, depending on which version of the story you get). But what you may not realize is that some of our favorite foods were originally named after some lesser known people.
In the 1800s Maria Smith, affectionately called "Granny" by many of her acquaintances, discovered a sapling growing where she had previously thrown out some apple cores. She replanted the sapling and nurtured it to maturation. That little sapling from the waste heap eventually bore tart, green apples.
Leo Hirschfeld, confectioner and inventor of candy manufacturing machines in the late 1800s and early 1900s, had a daughter named Clara. We imagine that little Clara must have loved her dad's job because Leo's daughter, nicknamed Tootsie, became immortalized when a non-melting chocolate candy was given the name "Tootsie Roll".
And I bet you'd never have suspected that a favorite bar snack also has a namesake. Back in the 1940's, the story goes, a group of military officers' wives went into a Mexican bar around closing time. Not finding a chef available one of the lingering wait staff,Ignacio ("Nacho"), did the best he could with some tortillas, cheese, and jalapenos. That evening, a popular late night snack was born.
The goal of the partnership is to provide the best business programs and events our region has to offer. The mission statement of the partnership is: "Working together to better serve the business community in the Pikes Peak region."
Leadership from the three organizations met with a group of business and community leaders the week of October 21 to discuss the idea and ask for feedback before rolling out the collaboration.
"These are programs that belong to the community," explained Joe Raso, President and CEO of the Colorado Springs Regional Business Alliance. "We're collaborating to infuse energy and excitement into these events to raise the experience so business people can gain tangible benefits from them."
In 2014 the three organizations will collaborate on the following programs and events:
Athena International Award Luncheon
Evening in Tuscany: Women in Business Reception
Business Expo
Business Connects (regular networking events)
New changes the Business Alliance, BBB and SBDC are discussing to improve the structure and execution of these events:
Create fewer and better quality events that eliminate duplication and overlap and are focused on business success. The events will be high value, high volume and high fun. For example, instead of five events about social media throughout the year given by multiple organizations, the three groups will combine forces and come up with two outstanding events with high quality speakers.
Similarly, enhance the quality of the Business Connects networking groups by creating pre-published agendas with engaging topics about Small Business, Military/Government, Healthcare, Sports Industry/Olympics, Marketing/Sales, Technology/Manufacturing, etc. Recruit top-notch speakers to improve attendance. Use Connects to feed Business Universities. Empower Ambassadors to chair/co-chair these groups.
Create tangible benefits for each program and event and provide a format for feedback and evaluation. At the beginning of every event state the goals of the meeting and specific things attendees should walk away with. Afterward, pass out an evaluation form or direct them to a website where they can take a quick evaluation survey. The leadership of each group will also make calls to attendees to ask for feedback. The feedback will then be communicated back to the group that attended.
Create a pre-planned central calendar where all business-related programs and events are listed and updated and sent out every two weeks to each organization's membership. Build upon models that already exist. Create a committee to approve calendar submissions.
"There's a lot of discussion in our community about collaboration," said Matt Barrett, CEO and Executive Director of the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado. "We decided it was time to act. We're of the same mind when it comes to local business and this gives us the opportunity to better serve all of our constituents."
Aikta Marcoulier, Executive Director of SBDC, agreed. "The more great minds we can gather together, the better solutions we will create. With the strength of this partnership we know we can improve the quality of the event experience for small businesses."
Each organization will maintain their autonomy and continue to champion their own, unique events as well, which all three organizations will support and promote through their communication channels.
Preliminary 2014 events include:
Colorado Springs Regional Business Alliance events
Community Business After Hours, State of the City, State and Region addresses, Day at the Legislature, Regional Leaders Trip, Southern Colorado Trip to Washington, D.C., Business Alliance Golf Classic, The Excellence in Business Awards Reception, The Colorado Springs Regional Business Alliance Annual Gala, The Business and Arts Luncheon, Board of Governors luncheons and dinners, Armed Forces Week and luncheon and military luncheons.
The mission of the Business Alliance is to enhance the quality of our communities by serving the business development needs of our region so that the rate of economic growth exceeds the rate of population growth.
Small Business Development Center events
Monthly Business University (formerly Business Alliance University), Small Business Week, Annual Veterans Conference, Business Protection Summit, Business Seminars, and one-on-one consulting that maximizes the economic potential of Colorado entrepreneurs.
The SBDC's mission is to help existing and new businesses grow and prosper in El Paso, Park, and Teller Counties.
Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado events
Buzz with the Bees, Benefits 101, A Night of Excellence Award Gala, Small Business Week, Better Business Bureau Foundation Golf Tournament, Letter Shred and Data Destruction Events, Business Seminars and Workshops, Savvy Teens, Savvy Senior Outreach Events and Military Outreach.
The BBB's mission is to be the leader in advancing marketplace trust.
As the Business Alliance, SBDC and BBB evolve their partnership, the organizations plan to extend special benefits to members of each other's constituents, most likely in the form of discounted program and event rates.

Taking all this into consideration, the Colorado Balloon Classic's Board of Directors voted this month to keep the event in Colorado Springs for 2014.
Wednesday, Nov. 6, 6:30-8:30 p.m.Bach's town hall will take place at 6:30 p.m. this Wednesday at the Penrose Library's Carnegie Reading Room, 20 N. Cascade Ave.

"These meetings are about listening," said Val Snider, City Council member. "Since the task force began its work more than a year ago, we've heard from citizens and businesses that stormwater management is a problem the community must solve to protect life and property. Of the many options available to us, we need to know how the public wants stormwater addressed."
The Pikes Peak Regional Stormwater Task Force was formed in August 2012 by the City of Colorado Springs, El Paso County, Colorado Springs Utilities, community business leaders and citizens to determine the breadth of the community's stormwater needs and options for managing it. The group includes business leaders, interested citizens, professional engineers, and city, utility and county staff.

Mariners give Hernandez support, stop Tigers' streak at 4Apr 27, 2011 - 3:24 AM
Justin Smoak had a two-run homer in his return from a week on the bereavement list for the Mariners, who halted a two-game losing streak. Miguel Olivo hit his first home run of the season in the win.
Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez (3-2) looked good in a six- inning outing where he have up three runs -- two earned-- on four hits and struck out four to get the win for Seattle.
"I didn't have a good feel on my breaking ball today," Hernandez said. "I was throwing a good sinker, though. I did throw good pitches and gave up just three runs. That's a good start."
Brandon Inge drove in two runs for the Tigers, who came into the game with a four-game win streak. Phil Coke (1-4) was roughed up for seven runs on eight hits in just 4 1/3 innings to get the loss for the home team.
It was a back-and-forth game throughout the first four innings, but the Mariners took control with a four-run fifth.
There were runners on second and third to set up Ichiro Suzuki's RBI single, then Figgins hit a two-run triple to deep center field to keep the one- out rally going. Coke hit the next batter, Milton Bradley, with a diving curveball into his foot to end the pitcher's outing.
"I didn't do my job at all," Coke said. "It really irritates me. I didn't perform as I'm expected to. It's not the pressure or anything, I'm just disappointed in myself."
Brayan Villarreal was brought in and gave up a run following an error on a pickoff attempt to send Figgins scurrying home for a 6-3 game. Bradley then scored on a fielder's choice to cap the frame.
The score stayed that way for the rest of the game as David Pauley and Brandon League combined for three shutout innings of one-hit ball.
Detroit looked like it was going to get a big first inning with the bases loaded and just one out. But Hernandez only surrendered one run when Brennan Boesch's fielder's choice plated Will Rhymes for a 1-0 lead.
Seattle got the run right back thanks to Olivo's rope shot to left field where Ryan Raburn went to the warning track and tried to make a leaping catch. However, the ball bounced off his glove over the fence for a solo home run and a 1-1 game.
Seattle took the lead in the fourth on Smoak's two-run homer into the left field seats.
However, Detroit came storming right back during the home half. Boesch doubled to start it, and after a Raburn strikeout, Jhonny Peralta drew a walk to put two men on. Two batters later, Inge hit a sharp liner down the line in left to bring both Boesch and Peralta home to knot the game again, 3-3.
Game Notes
Detroit won two of three games in Seattle earlier this season...Villarreal worked 2 2/3 innings of relief, allowing just one hit and struck out four...Seattle went 3-for-6 with runners in scoring position.

The Los Angeles Kings opened a three-game western Canadian trip on a positive note.
There's a good chance things could get even better with a visit to Edmonton up next.
Looking to win consecutive games away from home for the first time in almost two months, the Kings try for a seventh straight road victory over the struggling Oilers on Sunday night.
Mike Richards and Dustin Brown each had a goal with an assist while Anze Kopitar scored in his third straight game as Los Angeles (22-15-8) won 4-1 win at Calgary on Saturday. With this victory over his brother and Flames coach, Brent, Darryl Sutter is 7-1-4 since replacing the fired Terry Murray as Kings coach.
The Kings, who have totaled 13 goals while earning five points in the last three games, scored the first three of the game in the second period Saturday.
"All 20 guys were needed for this win," said Kopitar, who recorded his 399th career point. "I think we're moving around a lot more than we did. We definitely want to build on that."
Kopitar, who has three goals and two assists over the last three games, appears to be fine after taking a big hit from Brenden Morrow late in the third period of the Kings' 5-4 shootout loss to Dallas on Thursday.
"I feel good, I don't have any issues," Kopitar told the Kings' official website.
He has a goal and three assists in his last six games versus Edmonton.
Though Los Angeles lost 3-0 at home to the Oilers (16-23-4) on Nov. 3, it's won six in a row at Edmonton since losing 5-4 on Feb. 28, 2008. The Kings have not scored more than three goals in any of those games during that streak, but have held the Oilers to just six.
Los Angeles has not won two straight road games overall since Nov. 17 and 22.
Jonathan Quick, who made 29 saves Saturday, is 4-0 with a 1.25 goals-against average at Edmonton. However, backup Jonathan Bernier could get the start. He stopped 32 shots in a 2-0 win in the Kings' last trip to Edmonton on March 29.
Nikolai Khabibulin, who needed to make only 19 saves against the Kings in November, could be in net despite posting a 4.09 GAA during his six-game losing streak.
Khabibulin was pulled Friday after he allowed three goals on 14 shots as the Oilers dropped their fifth in a row, 5-0 to Anaheim.
"We were just brutal,'' coach Tom Renney said. "They don't feel real good about themselves at the moment and they shouldn't.
"The thing I don't like is that I don't see ice bags and guys sore from really gutting it out and doing everything they possibly can to win a hockey game.''
Losers in 17 of 21, the Oilers have scored three goals in their last three games and continue to struggle without injured young stars Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (shoulder) and Jordan Eberle (knee). The team's top two scorers are expected to be out until after the All-Star break.
Ryan Smyth, who spent the previous two seasons with the Kings, had a goal at Los Angeles earlier this season. He has 20 goals and 17 assists in his last 30 games against the Kings.

The word lesion is a general term that refers to any kind of physical abnormality that affects your body. Skin lesions can be anything from a cancerous growth to an acne scar. They are categorized according to their size from gross lesions which are visible, to histological lesions which can only be seen through a microscope. The process for getting rid of different types of lesions will vary, but a few basic principles will help you get rid of annoying, and in some cases, harmful skin lesions.
Things You'll Need
- Bandage
- Ice
Wait a week and check the progress of the lesion. Many small abnormalities including cuts, bruises and sores will heal on their own.
Apply physical treatment. The healing of some lesions can be sped up by applying a bandage. Others, such as cold sores will heal faster if you regularly apply ice. Always clean the lesion to avoid infection.
Visit a doctor if your lesion doesn't clear up, or if it becomes painful. Because skin lesions incorporate such a large number of skin conditions, its best to consult a doctor rather than self-diagnose a potentially serious skin condition.
Visit a laser treatment center if the problem is only superficial. Many lesions have no adverse health effects but will not disappear on their own. Dark marks and sun damage on your skin can be addressed by laser therapy. However, this procedure can be costly, call a center near you and ask for prices, and if they offer a free screening.
Visit a clinic that provides dermabrasion to repair scars and skin damage. Dermabrasion is a process where a wire brush wears down the damaged skin. This allows a new layer of healthy skin to regrow in its place.
Tips & Warnings
- Do not pick at skin lesions: This can result in scarring.
