2. How to Execute a Contract with the Vendor
In order to place an order for the purchase of one or more products on www.brioni.com, you must fill out the online order form and send it electronically to the Vendor, following the relevant instructions.
Before purchasing the products, you will be asked on the order form to carefully read the Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Informational Note on the right of withdrawal, to print a copy of them using the print command, and to then save or make a copy thereof for your personal records.
Before purchasing the products, you will be asked on the order form to carefully read the Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Informational Note on the right of withdrawal, to print a copy of them using the print command, and to then save or make a copy thereof for your personal records. The order form contains a summary of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, information on the main characteristics of each product ordered and corresponding unit price (including all applicable fees and taxes), the type of payment that you may use in order to purchase each product, shipping terms for the purchased products, procedures for handling trader complaints, shipping and delivery costs, as well as the Vendor's details, mailing and email addresses, and the deadline by which the Vendor promises to deliver the goods. The Vendor will also provide you with a summary of the terms and conditions for exercising your right of withdrawal and the procedures and time limits for returning the purchased products (according to the Return Form). You will also be informed of the circumstances under which you would lose the right to withdraw from the contract. If applicable to the purchase, you will be informed that, in the event of withdrawal, you will be required to bear the cost of returning the products. You will in any event be reminded that there is a legal warrantee in conformity with the products, and you will be provided with the details for contacting our after-sales service department.
Our order form, which appears immediately prior to the conclusion of the purchase contract, provides you with brief information regarding the essential features of each product ordered, the price (including all applicable taxes or fees) and the shipping costs (including any additional costs you would incur for having chosen another type of shipping and delivery that is faster than the standard service). An order shall be deemed to have been submitted when the Vendor receives your order form electronically and the order's information has been verified as correct.
Before submitting your order form for the purchase of products, you will be asked to carefully read the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, to print a copy using the print option and to save or reproduce a copy thereof for your own personal use.
When transmitting the order form, you will be advised that forwarding the order constitutes an obligation to pay the price indicated.
The order form will be filed in our data base for the time required to process your order and as provided by law. You may access your order form by clicking on the section called Order Status.
Before submitting the order form, you will be asked to identify and correct possible input errors.
English is the language used for executing contracts with Vendor.
After your order form has been submitted, the Vendor will process your order.
The Vendor may not process purchases when there are not sufficient guarantees of solvency, when orders are incomplete or incorrect, or the products are no longer available. In the above cases, we shall inform you by email that the contract has not been executed and that the Vendor has not carried out your purchase order specifying the reasons thereof. If the products displayed on www.brioni.com are no longer available at the time of your last access and once the Vendor has received your order form, the Vendor shall inform you of the unavailability of the ordered products within thirty (30) days from the day after Vendor received your order. If the order form has been sent and the price has been paid for items that are no longer available, the Vendor will refund the amount paid for those items, without undue delay, and the contract between the parties will be deemed to have been terminated.
By submitting an order form to and making a contract with the Vendor, you unconditionally accept and undertake to observe the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. Should you not agree with certain provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, please do not submit your order form for the purchase of products on www.brioni.com.
By submitting an order form, you agree and accept these General Terms and Conditions of Sale as well as further conditions contained on www.brioni.com, even through links, including the General Terms and Conditions of Use and Privacy Policy.
Once the contract has been entered into, the Seller will send you by email a receipt of the purchase order, which contains the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the summary document on Right of Withdrawal and therefore, all of the information already contained in the summary of commercial and contractual terms and conditions which was viewed prior to making the purchase
Upon submission of an order form, the Vendor shall send you a purchase order receipt email, containing a summary of the information related to the order form (General Terms and Conditions of Sale, the products' main characteristics, detailed information on the price, terms of payment, return policy and shipping costs).
3. Guarantees and Product Price Indication
On www.brioni.com, we only offer products marked with theBrioni.com trademark. These products are purchased by us directly from the fashion house and/or the manufacturer authorized by the fashion house.
The Vendor does not sell second-hand products, flawed products or products of lower quality than the corresponding market standards.
The main characteristics of products are shown on www.brioni.com on each product page. The products offered for sale on www.brioni.com may not exactly correspond to the real garments in terms of image and colours due to the Internet browser or monitor used.
Prices are subject to change. Check the final price of sale before sending the relevant order form.
Prices displayed on the Brioni.com website are quoted in Euro (EUR). While we try to ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur.
Purchase orders from Countries not included among those displayed on the splash page cannot be accepted by the Vendor.
All Products come with an identification tag attached with a disposable seal. Do not remove the tag or seal from the purchased products should you wish to return the purchased product.
Should you decide to exercise your right to return purchased products, the Vendor has the right to not accept returned products or to not fully refund the amounts paid for purchased products that are returned without the corresponding tag or seal or that have been altered from their original status or damaged, as is more extensively clarified under paragraph 8.10.
Without prejudice to the application of the mandatory consumer protection provisions, all products sold by the Vendor are covered by a twenty-four (24) month guarantee for lack of conformity. You shall inform the Vendor of the existence of any such lack of conformity within a period of two (2) months from the day when you detected the lack of conformity. Please contact our Customer Care. In case of lack of conformity, you may choose between the repair or replacement of the product. If these remedies are impossible or disproportionate you are entitled to either require the Vendor to make an appropriate reduction in the price or to terminate the contract.
4. Customs and Duties
Upon arrival in your Country the contents of your order may be subject to Customs fees (taxes, duties, processing fees, brokerage fees, etc.), which are responsibility of the customer receiving the order. These fees are not under the Vendor's control. For this reason we recommend you verify with your local Customs office before you place an order. The Vendor is unable to estimate customs fees, taxes, duties, etc. so please contact your local authorities or Customs office for detailed information.
Both the item prices as well as the shipping charges you pay to We do NOT include Customs fees, import taxes, brokerage fees, or duties.
Should you refuse your order at the time of arrival or should you refuse to pay the Customs fees when your order arrives, the shipment will be returned to the Vendor and we will be charged the Customs fees plus return shipping costs. If you receive your order and accept to pay the Customs fees upon delivery, the Vendor will not issue refunds for the same in case of return of the purchased products.
4.4 Customs processing may delay the delivery of your order. Should you experience such delays please check with your local Customs offices. The invoice for the Customs fees could arrive weeks after you receive your order, separately from the same.
5. Payments
Payment of the product prices and relevant shipping costs must be made by using one of the procedures indicated on the order form. Under no circumstance will you be charged costs that are higher than those actually incurred by the Vendor, in relation to your previously selected payment method.
In case of payment by Credit/Debit Card, all details (for example, card number or expiration date) will be sent by encrypted protocol to Banca Sella or other banks which provide remote electronic payment services, without third parties having any access thereto whatsoever. Such details will not be used by the Vendor except for performing the procedure relevant to your purchase or issuing refunds in the case of returns in compliance with the exercise of your return right or for reporting cases of fraud to the police. The price for the purchase of products and the corresponding shipping costs, as indicated in the order form, will be charged to your current account only when the purchased products are actually shipped.
6. Shipping and Delivery of the Products
For specific product shipping and delivery procedures see the Customer Care area. Please read these sections carefully. The information provided in these sections forms an integral part of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and, consequently, shall be deemed to be fully read and accepted by you at the time your order form is sent.
7. Customer Care
Please contact our Customer Care for further information: click here to contact Customer Care.
8. Returns
You may return products purchased from Us, without any penalty and without specifying the reason, within fifteen (15) days from receiving the products purchased on www.brioni.com.
In order to withdraw from the contract, you may use Return Form (in conformity with the standard form pursuant to Art. 49, Subsection 4 of the Consumer Code), which may be filled out and sent directly online through the website, or you may draft and send the Vendor another declaration explicitly stating your decision to withdraw from the contract.
If you choose to use the Return Form to send the form directly online through the website www.brioni.com, the Vendor will send you an email confirming receipt of the withdrawal request.
Should you instead choose to send another type of withdrawal statement, you will be responsible for proving that you exercised your withdrawal right in a proper, timely manner.
Once you have exercised your right to withdraw from the contract, you must return the products to the Vendor, sending them to the shipping agent for shipment within fourteen (14) days of when you informed the Vendor of your decision to withdraw from the contract.
The Vendor must receive the returned products within fifteen (15) days from the date on which products were received by you.
You can ship your returns to the Vendor with a shipping service of your choice and the return shipping will be at your own expense. Please verify that you have accurately completed and included with your parcel all the necessary documentation for Customs clearance. Customs authorities require that all such documentation be written in English so that it can be used both by the authorities of the country you are shipping from (for export) and the Italian authorities (for import). We recommend that you consult with local authorities and/or your selected shipping service to ensure that the documents are sufficient. The Vendor cannot be held responsible for parcels that are detained at Customs because of lacking or insufficient documentation. The Vendor therefore highly recommends that you choose a shipping service that permits you to trace the delivery at any time. Be sure that the type of shipping you choose guarantees the delivery of the parcel within the time frame of fifteen (15) days from the date on which you received your order.
7.6 Should you decide to use a different shipping method than the one indicated by the Vendor in the Return Form, you must instead pay upfront for the costs you have incurred for returning the purchased products. In that case, you will also be refunded an amount equal to the cost of the standard shipping of the purchased products, although you will not be refunded for any additional costs you incurred due to having chosen another kind of shipment and delivery or one that is faster than the standard method. In this case you will still be able to be held liable if the products are lost or damaged during transport, whether due to your negligent choice of carrier and/or the shipment methods.
The return right - besides compliance with the terms and procedures described at par. 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 above - shall be deemed correctly exercised once the following conditions have been fully met:
- a) Return Form directly transmitted online via the website, or another declaration explicitly stating your decision to withdraw from the contract must be correctly completed and submitted within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the products;
- b) the products must not have been used, worn or washed;
- c) the identification tag must still be attached to the products with the disposable seal;
- d) the products must be returned in their original packaging;
- e) the returned products must be sent to the shipping agent within fourteen (14) days of when you informed the Vendor of your decision to withdraw from the contract;
- f) the products must not be damaged.
If the terms and conditions for exercising your right to withdraw from the contract, as per points a), e) and f) of paragraph 8.7 above, are not complied with, you will not have the right to be reimbursed the amounts already paid to the Vendor. Within 14 days of the email communicating the non-acceptance of the withdrawal being sent, you may choose to re-obtain, at your own expense, the products in the state in which they were returned to the Vendor, through a written exchange with the Vendor according to the instructions that will be provided. If not, the Vendor may keep the products, in addition to the sum already paid for their acquisition.
Whenever the conditions indicated in letters b), c) and d) of previous paragraph 7.7 are not respected, you will not be entitled to a full refund of the amounts already paid to the Vendor. You will indeed be responsible for the decrease in value of the returned products, following a use other than the one authorized by the Vendor with the intent of allowing you to assess the nature, features and functioning of the products themselves. In this case, between 10 and 90 percent of the amounts you paid to the Vendor to purchase the returned products will be deducted from the provided refund, whereby you will be specifically informed, via email, by the Vendor. Within 14days of sending the email informing you of the amount deducted from the refund, you may choose to have the products redelivered to you, at your expense, and in the condition in which they were returned to the Vendor, informing the Vendor thereof according to the procedures of which you will be advised. Otherwise, the Vendor may retain the products and an amount corresponding to the percent deducted from the refund.
After the return of the products, the Vendor shall check their compliance with the terms and conditions laid down in paragraph 8. In the event that the outcome of these checks is positive, the Vendor shall send you the corresponding email confirmation of the acceptance of the returned products.
In the event that the checks do not have a positive outcome, the Vendor takes steps to inform you, via email, that a decrease in value of the returned products has been detected, deriving from your failure to comply with the conditions indicated in letters b), c) and d) of paragraph 8.3 above. The Vendor simultaneously sees to it that you are also informed of the amount that will be deducted from the amounts you paid to purchase the returned products; without prejudice, in the alternative, to the possibility of your having the products redelivered to you, at your expense, and in the condition in which they were returned to the Vendor, pursuant to the terms provided for in paragraph 7.10.
The Vendor provides the refund using the same payment method you used to acquire the returned products, unless you have expressly agreed with the Vendor to use another payment method, and on the condition that you must not incur any additional cost as a result of the refund.
If the recipient of the products indicated in the order form and the person that has paid the sums due for their acquisition are not the same, the reimbursement of the sums, in the event of the right of withdrawal being exercised, shall be made by the Vendor, in all cases, to the person that made the payment.
If the return right is exercised in conformity with the provisions set forth in this section, We shall refund the amount paid for the returned products.
The Vendor shall refund the amount already paid for the purchase of products and the shipping costs of their delivery to you only if the products are returned for reasons that may be due to the Vendor, such as when the products do not have the promised essential characteristics, have manufacturing defects or they have been erroneously delivered.
The Vendor shall refund amounts already paid as soon as possible and in any case within fourteen (14) days from the date on which We became aware of your decision to exercise your return right. After having confirmed that the terms and conditions stated above have been duly complied with, We will promptly start the refund procedure as indicated in section 8.
In the event that your return does not comply with the terms and conditions set out in section 7 of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, you will not be entitled to any refund of the amount already paid to the Vendor; nevertheless, you shall be entitled, at your own expense, to receive the products in the conditions in which they were sent back to the Vendor. If you do not wish to receive the products in the conditions in which they were sent back to the Vendor, We shall be entitled to keep the products and withhold the amount already received.
9. Refund Times and Procedures
After the products have been returned, We shall check the conformity of the products with the conditions indicated in section 7 above. When the Vendor is able to confirm that such conditions have been met, We shall send you an email confirming the acceptance of the returned products.
Whatever payment type you used, the refund procedure shall be started by the Vendor within fourteen (14) days from when the Vendor was informed of your decision to exercise your return right, after checking that the return right has been correctly exercised and that the returned products have been accepted.
If the recipient of the products indicated in the order form is different from the individual who made the payment for such products, the amount paid for returned items shall be refunded by the Vendor to the individual who made the payment.
The value date for the credit shall be the same as the value date of the original debit and consequently you shall not suffer interest losses.
10. Privacy
You will find information on how we process your personal data by clicking on Privacy Policy.

I should mention that there ARE other ducks in the toolbox. They are small ducks that fit in Harriet's pocket when she carries her camera and tripod to the classrooms to take group photos. But The Duck only works the main room. There is also a rubber frog that sometimes gets called up on the rare occasion that The Duck can't get a child to laugh. Harriet's experience tells her which toy to try.
She also encourages parents to let their children wear something comfortable on picture day. "Don't overdress them because children don't act the same way if they are overdressed," Harriet suggests.
It was great to spend picture day with Harriet and get answers to all of my (and your) questions about The Duck. But I had to confess that up until a few years ago, I didn't even know she had a first name. I had always known her, as we all do, as "The Ducky Lady." That seems to be how she likes it. But she was willing to share just a few personal details.
Although The Duck doesn't spend much time in the water outside of his daily bath, Harriet enjoys being outdoors when she's not behind a camera.
"I go kayaking and hiking. I belong to a kayaking group. That's what I do when I don't photograph," she says.
A few years ago, our school director Suman invited Harriet and some friends from school on a trip to India. For Harriet, that was a dream come true. One favorite memory is of riding on an elephant with her friend Beth.
"That was nice," she says, smiling. "India was my dream country. That's where I always wanted to go. I wanted to go there before they lose their saris and all the colors and become jeans people."
At the end of picture day as Harriet packed up The Duck to leave MSGL, Lena and Anita made sure she got one of our tie-dyed school t-shirts. The shirt made Harriet really happy and I asked her why.
"It's yellow and orange," she exclaimed. "My favorite colors!"
Winter is upon us and the staff of the Wayback Wednesday department is preparing to head south for the season. (The staff certainly wishes this was true.) Okay, we're not really going anywhere but we have discovered a treasure trove of awesome photos. We will be scanning them and organizing them over winter break. When everyone returns in January you can look forward to the beginning of "Building MSGL." It's the story of how our families built the MSGL campus that we know and love today.
To whet your appetites I am posting one photo from that winter of 2000. Look at this photo and see if you can figure out where in the school it is. The first commenter to get it correct wins a free Wayback Wednesday t-shirt. (The staff certainly wishes this was true.) Okay, no t-shirt but you can still be first. Have fun guessing!
Have a terrific Wednesday and an awesome winter break!
This week we look back at some photos from 1998.
Anita McKinney, our first executive director, was leaving MSGL to live closer to her family in Florida. Her MSGL family held a farewell reception in her honor just before the winter break. These are photos of some of the children wishing her well.
Anita started working at MSGL in July, 1991 when the parent-owned school decided it needed a full-time. Up to then, the office staff coordinated with the Board of Directors. This next photo is actually from about 1996. It shows Anita with Beth Nichols, who was then the office manager, in the teeny, tiny office at Morton Center.
Beth is still with us and now works as our accountant. Anita has been working with Florida's Duval County Extension office since 1998. She is currently teaching personal financial management in Jacksonville. She is retiring in January and will start another "job" taking care of her twin grandchildren Dominic and Danica. She is excited about this new chapter in her life and told me, "They will be three by then , so I will start my own little Montessori home-school with them. I am looking forward to this next step!"
Best wishes, Anita! And happy Wednesday to you, faithful readers.

text: Monday, June 18, 2012 Deadline for PT 2013 Proposals is July 9 APTA encourages members to submit proposals for 90-minute and 3-hour sessions for PT 2013, to be held June 26-29, 2013, in Salt Lake City. The association would like to focus on the areas for programming where latest or emerging ideas are shared and discussed: delivery of care (medical homes, accountable care organizations) payment (alternative payment models) use of technology in the administration of care (electronic health records, etc) use of technology in clinical care (virtual care, etc) use of technology in entry-level education knowledge translation from classroom to clinic Proposals must be submitted by July 9. The Call for Proposals with further details is posted on the submission site Welcome Page. For questions or to discuss specifics about programming, contact Mary Lynn Billitteri, APTA Professional Development. Comments I would like to propose that APTA to lead a movement for all insurances to reimburse physical therapy treated by PTA and not only PT. Primarily speaking Tricare. And I have heard that Blue Cross/Blue Shield has begun denying coverage for those treated by PTA. I feel this is a very fair request for 3 reasons. One, sadly it's a time of war, with this it is a higher demand for physical therapy needs. Two, Medicare reimburse PTA treating patients. And as a rule of thumb most insurances follow suit of Medicare policy. So why not PTA reimbursement for treatment of patient. Third, Tricare reimburse COTA and not PTA? This to me doesn't make any sense. We are all governed under that same State Health boards and carry a license as we work under the POC of a PT. Thank you, Posted by Angela Huff on 6/19/2012 4:22 PM I would like to propose that the LPTA degree be increased to a Bachelors degree. I have been a LPTA for six years and the educational gap between DPTs and LPTA is becoming far greater. As a CI I have noticed the lack of preparation and knowledge from these new PTA students. The programs are to short and the students are basicly being prepared to pass their boards and not being good clinians. If the course work is increased it will weed out the people who are just trying to "get paid" and maybe solve the insurance no pay problem listed by Angela. Thank You. Posted by Craig Ayers on 6/20/2012 8:59 AM Booooooo!!! No, to B.S. for PTAs..too much time not enough money for students (students don't need more debt, they need more jobs!) If professors and CIs do a great job, students should be prepared to perform in the clinic. Truthfully speaking, the performance of the individual is up to the individual- intelligence, knowledge, and passion about the patients and the profession are the things, I believe, that make a great clinician. Besides, on the job training is the best way to gain knowledge; and prolonging the "education" only delays the "EDUCATION." Posted by Carl Greenwood on 6/21/2012 1:11 AM

Multi-tenant SaaS in days on Windows Azure claims Corent
January 17, 2014
Corent claims that its SurPaaS software is capable of transforming .NET applications into what it calls "fully instrumented" multi-tenant SaaS offerings on Windows Azure.
CEO Feyzi Fatehi says that by using SurPaaS, cloud software developers can stay focused on their core product, and yet reach a much larger customer base by transforming their software applications to SaaS level.
"[All this], quickly and cost effectively without having to perform a heart surgery on their application," he said.
This is supposed to be an accelerated path to SaaS, without having to learn the intricacies of SaaS.

First, there was the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy and the ensuing controversy and backlash against the New York marathon. Then a few months later came the terrorist attack that struck the Boston race.
All told, it hasn't been an easy time for marathons. Yet the solidarity and determination of participants in this endurance sport, their supporters and their broad range of sponsors was nevertheless evident in London earlier this month, when 35,000 runners showed that their spirit was undaunted and that the race must continue.
And shortly after the race, organizers of the London marathon announced that they'd extended a sponsorship deal with Virgin Money, a unit of billionaire and huge marathon supporter Richard Branson's Virgin Group, until at least 2017. The deal underscores the strong commitment that sponsors, including financial firms, insurance companies, shoe and apparel manufacturers, to name but a few, have for marathons, a commitment that's only set to increase as the marathon industry becomes increasingly global.
Marathons aren't only taking place in major world cities such as New York, Boston, London or Chicago. As economics and social moirés change across the globe, and more and more people take up running as a sport (in India, for example, running is becoming an important sport for women, too), today's marathons are happening in such far-flung places as Mumbai, Madagascar, Kigali and Easter Island. Marathon tourism from the U.S. and Europe is on the rise and with it, the scope for increased sponsorship opportunities is also increasing.
Jayme Goldberg, co-founder of Pittsburgh-based SilverLine Athletics, a digital technology firm for the endurance sports industry, believes that sponsors of every kind have a chance of really upping their ante with the advent of social media, in particular the use of video technology.
Marathon sponsorship is not just about a company placing its name on a banner, or chalking its logo on the road at a mile marker, according to Goldberg. In the new avatar of sponsorship, leveraging social media to its fullest is becoming more and more important, said Goldberg, who is a professional athlete and runner and formerly served as chief strategy officer for BNY Mellon subsidiary Urdang Capital Management.
"With social media, sponsors, investment firms and others, can really engage in a race in very precise and targeted way that never existed before by customizing content for local events," Goldberg said. "This increases their global footprint and gives them a local presence that's meaningful to that event and its participants, and also helps build their brand."
In Running USA's 2013 National Runner Survey, 39% of participants said they were less likely to buy the products and services of companies sponsoring a race, while 32% said they would be more likely to buy the same. That leaves plenty of scope for companies to use social media to build up on the 32% of people who would purchase their products and services, Goldberg said.
Event sponsors that use social media can also seriously reduce their advertising costs even as they build larger and more dedicated audiences. Social media offers endless possibilities for firms to get their names out by customizing content related to a race, Goldberg said. The possibilities are endless, and can include messages related to training, self-defense for women, logistics and now, safety.
Besides, studies have shown that targeted messaging can result in participation rates in excess of 100%, because "everyone cares for information that's related to the event they signed up for," she said.
Thus far, though, most companies haven't exploited low cost/high engagement benefits of social media as much as they should. Goldberg believes that video content is the most effective medium that companies should be using, but even though firms that sponsor marathons and other endurance sports events have been increasingly committing marketing dollars to targeted video production, the majority of video distribution has thus far been limited to broader platforms like YouTube, where statistics show that viewers don't spend more than an average of 20 seconds viewing a video. Also, the endurance event industry is a fragmented market, Goldberg says, marked by the mismatch between event managers with a local focus and large corporations with a global focus that are willing to advertise through events.
There's little doubt, though, that will determination are undeterred when it comes to marathons participation and sponsorship, so the marathon industry will only forge ahead and continue to broaden out.

La Plata County has had gas and oil development for many decades. As a result, there have been both beneficial and harmful effects.
Most of us would agree that the effect to funding the county government has been positive. For more than 20 years, the gas industry has paid the lions share of property taxes. The county has chosen to keep the mill levy low, so all property owners have benefited. Perhaps it would have been wise to keep the mill levy at a level that would have allowed leaving a positive legacy to the future. We chose to take it all for ourselves now, but nonetheless, it is a positive.
Other positives are income to royalty owners and the jobs created.
On the negative side, there has been the loss of property use by landowners, the invasion of peoples lives by having wells drilled on their lands, having compressor stations with constant noise as neighbors, countless pipelines laid across fields, homes with gas accumulating in their basements and crawl spaces, water wells with enough gas to flare, coal fires that have taken millions of dollars and many years to fight, a huge increase in air pollution, and thousands of acres of wildlife habitat crisscrossed with roads and pipelines.
We are now facing new gas and oil development. The Mancos shale formation underlies most of southern La Plata County. The Southern Ute Tribe has done some preliminary drilling into the Mancos, and is planning more.
There are two wells proposed west of Fort Lewis Mesa on private lands. Just south, in New Mexico, there is a 64-well proposal.
The recent decision by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to defer leasing of lands southwest of Hesperus also provides an opportunity for La Plata County to take the time necessary to make sure the implications of a Mancos shale boom are understood and prepared for.
A few of the issues the county should consider before allowing development to proceed are:
Water: Shale development will entail the use of much greater quantities of water than what we have seen before. Where will this water come from, especially on the western, dry side of the county? Where and how will this water be disposed of once it is used, and polluted? How will we prevent spills, leaks and pollution of drinking water aquifers?
Public safety: With the thousands of wells that exist in the county, how will the horizontally drilled Mancos wells not weaken the existing wells casings and well bores? Will they cause old wells to become sources of water contamination, or even methane buildup in homes and soils?
Scale: How many wells are possible, and where? How many new pipelines, compressors and other related infrastructure, especially if oil is developed in a major way, since most of the current infrastructure relates to gas production.
La Plata County has too long a history with gas and oil development to pretend it is benign. The county must call for a pause before rushing headlong into what could be a massive new development.

text: Friday, November 09, 2012 Registration Deadline for PQRS Audio Conference is November 12 On November 15, APTA will hold an audio conference to help educate members on changes to the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) for 2013. Physical therapists (PTs) who bill Medicare for outpatient physical therapy services in private practice settings (using the 1500 claim form or 837-P) can obtain a 0.5% bonus payment in 2013 under PQRS. In addition, PTs who successfully report under the PQRS program in 2013 will avoid the 1.5% reduction in payment from Medicare in 2015. Registration closes Monday, November 12. Register today. APTA's highlights of the 2013 final physician fee schedule rule provides details on PQRS, claims and reporting requirements, and group measures. Comments Shame on you. We are out here struggling in a financial and documentation nightmare trying to engage in the profession of helping people recover from illness and injury and you even think to charge us, as members, to learn how to properly jump through yet another bureaucratic hoop. Posted by Marjorie Rodd -> =NRb on 11/9/2012 10:12 PM So, we have to $99 for a 1.5 hour webinar to learn how to not get a 1.5% penalty??? What are you doing with our $400+ annual dues...I really hope the PT that is giving this webinar is not getting paid, we should all be trying to help each other out right now. You should really consider cutting the price in half, help us out!! Posted by Jon Andrus, PT on 11/10/2012 4:21 PM Everytime I leave s message with APTA I never get a return call on any issue.This PQRS issue along with the periodic Rules Regulations updates (which my chapter charges for )should all be part of our dues.This is prime reason why membership is done when it should be at all time high given these challenging times. Posted by Steve on 11/11/2012 10:28 AM Not only APTA gets our annual dues, but they also sell our info (phone ##, etc.)to various recruiters who then solisit us with their job offers. I am tired from all these phone calls, letters or emails from different agents or companies. I am not looking for a job!! When I asked where they got my info from, the answer was that either APTA or PT Board sold them the info. Where is our privacy then? Also, I have exactly the same experience as Steve does whenever trying to reach to APTA with questions or concerns. Let's see if they even respond to our request to drop the pay for that webinar. Posted by Bella Kavalerchik on 11/12/2012 12:00 AM APTA does not sell or share mailing lists or contact info with outside vendors under any circumstances. Information posted in Find a PT profiles is public, however, and APTA cannot prevent the misuse of that information or profile info in the member directory (although that is limited to members). Update your profile to control which information is visible to others. Posted by News Now Staff on 11/12/2012 9:32 AM In response to the course fee comments: The PQRS course is for those interested in a learning opportunity with CEU credit. APTA has rich information about PQRS and how to meet the new requirements at http://www.apta.org/PQRS/. Members-only information includes podcasts, FAQs, case examples, a self audit tool, and a discussion forum where you can ask questions. Please explore those resources. If you have additional questions, contact firstname.lastname@example.com. Posted by News Now Staff on 11/13/2012 5:43 PM

What are Click-Free™ Keywords?
Click-Free™ Keywords are terms that you can add to your Direct Navigation campaign in order to receive redirected visitors to your offer(s). The traffic for these terms is delivered from highly trafficked sites that are owned by our unique network of domain owners and exchanges.
The domains are analyzed and assigned specific Click-Free™ keywords. Visitors are automatically redirected your website, and volume depends on your bid in relation to your competitors. This traffic is not exclusive to 7Search advertisers, however, so a competitive bid is recommended to receive optimal exposure. Bids start at $0.01 per visit.

Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 this week and the product is now also available for download. This update is intended to improve Agile planning practices for software application development teams that want to keep their Visual Studio developers efforts in line with Microsoft's current cloud-hosted capabilities.

- Better Security Awareness: The Devil is in 5 Details

With this release now emerging, Microsoft reminds us of its commitment to shorter release timelines (this lessens the learning curve and developer "upgrade shock" factor of course) as it comes just four months since Visual Studio 2012 Update 1.
Microsoft's developer division corporate VP S. Somasegar reminds us that Visual Studio 2012 introduced a wide range of capabilities focused on enabling Agile teams, not only for development but also for planning.
"With VS2012.2, Team Foundation Server (TFS) has been augmented with an additional variety of features to help make it even easier for Agile teams to do their planning, in particular around adapting to a team's preferences and work styles," he said.
Somasegar continues, "For example, VS2012.1 introduced new project tracking options, including a Kanban board and a cumulative flow diagram; VS2012.2 augments those experiences with the ability to customize the Kanban board to adapt it for an organization's needs."
Alongside the Kanban update are so-called Work Item Enhancements; i.e., the Send Email in Web Access function allows team members to share Team Foundation Service work items through email from the web portal — and Tags also exist here to let teams add their own metadata to work items.
Microsoft stresses the quality enablement factor here. You know when the firm labels Quality Enablement in CAPS, the marketing function want us to try and leave that in. What it means is that Visual Studio 2012 is now more closely engineered to enabling quality to be maintained and improved throughout development cycles.
"This focus can be seen not only in the RTM release, but also in VS2012.1, with the added support for code coverage with manual ASP.NET testing, with support in Test Explorer for custom 'traits', with support for cross-browser testing, and with improvements to Microsoft Test Manager," said Somasegar.
Profile Unit Testing also exists at this level to provide instruments for both unit testing code and customer code, which present the results in a single profile report.
NOTE: Microsoft LightSwitch is described as a simplified self-service development tool that enables you to build business applications quickly and easily for the desktop and cloud.
Finally, we come to where this product has been ramped up for better developer experiences. Microsoft suggests that Visual Studio has to be as "streamlined" as possible given the amount of time developers spend inside the IDE.
With this in mind Somasegar points out that Code Map has been updated with improved responsiveness as well as with debugger integration, providing a visual perspective on the relationships and dependencies in code being debugged.
"Symbol loading has been improved across both the profiling and IntelliTrace experiences. The Workflow designer now has an improved debugging experience. The XAML design surface in both Blend and the Visual Studio editor includes multiple performance and reliability improvements, in particular when loading large projects and when using third-party controls," concludes Somasegar.

The young men of the Appoquinimink School District will get a special treat at the fifth annual Real Men Read event Feb. 21.
The young men of the Appoquinimink School District will get a special treat at the fifth annual Real Men Read event Feb. 21.
And that treat is that award winning young adult author Roland Smith will be giving the keynote speech.
"[Smith] wanted to be a writer ever since he was 5 years old, but in college he ended up working in a children's zoo," Payne said. "This led him to many adventures all over the world."
Now, Smith uses these adventures to inspire many of his stories.
Real Men Read is a district-wide effort to get male students more excited about reading.
In the annual event's first four years, attendance has grown from 300 during the first year to a turnout of nearly 1,000 last year, Payne said.
Along with Roland Smith's keynote speech, there will be a craft with "Where the Wild Things Are," and other fast paced sessions for the boys to participate in, she said.
"Boys should come to Real Men Read because it totally rocks!" Payne, the Appoquinimink High School librarian said. "They will get to see that there are tons of other boys out there who love to read as much as they do and being a reader is a really cool thing."
Originally started to capture the attention of the males in the community and to open a dialogue about what really constitutes reading in everyday life, Payne said that the event is open to everyone.
"We know that boys are still behind when it comes to reading," she said, "and we also know that reading for pleasure is a really good predictor of academic success."
Studies have shown that girls tend to be ahead of boys in reading.
Another way Payne says that the boys get engaged is that they bring a male reading role model.
"Two big factors that impact boys and reading are attitude and the lack of a male reading role model," she said. "We want to show boys that reading is cool and necessary whether you want to be an MMA Fighter, serve in the Armed Forces, or design video games."
Payne also said that another goal is to get adult males to realize that their own reading habits and attitude matter.
Even though most of the topics are meant to cater to young men, girls are welcome to attend too.
The event is open to all students in the Appoquinimink School District.

1835 Hall Map of New South Wales, AustraliaNewSouthWales-hall-1835
1835 Hall Map of New South Wales, AustraliaNewSouthWales-hall-1835
Important map showing the development of the New South Wales colony.
1835 (undated) 21 x 17 in (53.34 x 43.18 cm) 1 : 2304000
Sidney Hall's New General Atlas was published from 1830 to 1857, the first edition being the most common, with all subsequent editions appearing only rarely. Most of the maps included in the first edition of this atlas were drawn between 1827 and 1828 and are most likely steel plate engravings, making it among the first cartographic work to employ this technique. Each of the maps in this large and impressive atlas feature elegant engraving and an elaborate keyboard style border. Though this is hardly the first map to employ this type of border, it is possibly the earliest to use it on such a large scale. Both the choice to use steel plate engraving and the addition of the attractive keyboard boarder are evolutions of anti-forgery efforts. Copper plates, which were commonly used for printing bank notes in the early 19th century, proved largely unsuitable due to their overall fragility and the ease with which they could be duplicated. In 1819 the Bank of England introduced a £20,000 prize for anyone who could devise a means to print unforgeable notes. The American inventors Jacob Perkins and Asa Spencer responded to the call. Perkins discovered a process for economically softening and engraving steel plates while Spencer invented an engraving lathe capable of producing complex patters repetitively - such as this keyboard border. Though Perkins and Spenser did not win the prize, their steel plate engraving technique was quickly adopted by map publishers in England, who immediately recognized its value. Among early steel plate cartographic productions, this atlas, published in 1830 by Longman Rees, Orme, Brown & Green stands out as perhaps the finest. This map was issued by Sidney Hall and published by Longman Rees, Orme, Brown & Green of Paternoster Row, London, in the 1835 edition of the Sidney Hall New General Atlas.
Sidney Hall (1788 - 1831) was an English engraver and map publisher active in London during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His earliest imprints, dating to about 1814, suggest a partnership with Michael Thomson, another prominent English map engraver. Hall engraved for most of the prominent London map publishers of his day, including Aaron Arrowsmith, William Faden, William Harwood, and John Thomson, among others. Hall is credited as being one of the earliest adopters of steel plate engraving, a technique that allowed for finer detail and larger print runs due to the exceptional hardness of the medium. Upon his early death - he was only in his 40s - Hall's business was inherited by his wife, Selina Hall, who continued to publish under the imprint, "S. Hall", presumably for continuity. The business eventually passed to Sidney and Selina's nephew Edward Weller, who became extremely prominent in his own right.
