The Certified Anti-terrorism Specialist (CAS)
Leading the Way In Responder Training
The Anti-Terrorism Accreditation Board CAS Certification.
ATAB (The Anti-Terrorism Accreditation Board www.ATABonline.org) provides quality response training and has established a standard of training being used for terrorism responders around the world for the last 11 years.
ATAB has developed a responder training curriculum that is being utilized at Police Academies, Universities, law enforcement agencies, military and special ops units. ATAB curriculum is Certified by the Professional's Accreditation & Learning Council, ATAB War College (www.ATABwarCollege.com) And being used at training facilities from West Point and the Air Force Academy to DHS, ATF and Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

ATAB is designed for responders that strive to better educate themselves and make themselves more professional in their field of endeavour.
ATAB, in an effort to address the current training situation that exist in the responder industry, developed training modules provided on DVD for convenient training and study. With budget crunches impacting most businesses and governments, funds are often not available to send all staff to training. Unfortunately, the officer on the street doing the job seems to be the last to receive funds for training. ATAB initially developed these programs after 911 to provide a standard response methodology to respond to a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE)
Incidents. ATAB utilized FEMA, DOT, US Army and Federal Fire Academy safety
courses and merged them into informative and understandable training modules of Power Points using photo driven information to make the material easy to understand.

ATAB Advantages.
ATAB provides responders with quality training materials at a very reasonable price.
ATAB has provided certification materials to over 8,000 individuals around the world.
ATAB provides ongoing updates and develops ongoing training modules to address new and current threats as they arise.
ATAB networking opportunities have provided CAS and CMAS's with numerous employment opportunities. Yesterday a CMAS called and ask if I was aware that one Federal Agency recently hired a complete department of investigators and each one of them was a CAS or CMAS. We have had many members express that the reason for their employment was directly due to their certification as a CAS.
The Anti-Terrorism Accreditation Board and the International Association for Counterterrorism and Security Professionals (IACSP) have partnered together to provide enhanced benefits, training opportunities and discounted rates for our members. For those that are not familiar with IACSP, the IACSP is a network of Counterterrorism/Homeland security professionals interacting with other professionals providing a forum of education and information, while promoting international cooperation on counterterrorism policy through its flagship publication – The Journal of Counterterrorism & Homeland Security International (now into its 26th year of publication), its website, http://www.iacsp.com.
Here is a link to review an article about ATAB found on www.Lawofficer.com
There is nothing more rewarding to the ATAB board members than to receive an email from a military member that states that while on patrol their life was saved due to information that they learned in an ATAB IED training module.
History of ATAB
Anti-Terrorism Accreditation Board (ATAB) Founded in 2001, ATAB in conjunction with the International Society of Anti-Terrorism Professionals, leaders in Government, military, and the private security industry, as well as key members of law enforcement, fire departments, Emergency Medical Services, and other first responders determined the education, training, and experience requirements for a first responder to safely and successfully prepare for and respond to terrorist events.
ATAB eventually assumed the lead role in the development and implementation of standardized anti-terrorism training and certification programs. Shortly after the September 11th attacks, many industry experts agreed that it was blatantly evident that a significant number of first responders lacked the proper equipment and training to safely respond to a terrorist incident.
While attempts were made by various security and law enforcement personnel and industry associations to advise their members and others how to safely respond, some of the prescribed methods (e.g., wearing a wet T-Shirt across the face to prevent inhalation of mercury and other heavy metal vapours present on the scene) proved grossly inadequate. Other experts touted the use of bulky manuals, hastily developed checklists, virtual seminars, and other training methods to educate responders. Again, these efforts provided less than optimal results.
Several ATAB members volunteered their time, resources, and expertise to develop several slide presentations for first responder leadership in an effort to train the trainer on the appropriate response to terrorist incidents. ATAB subsequently funded, produced, and distributed more than 2000 copies of these materials, free of charge, to the brave men and women supporting the rescue and recovery efforts in New York. Their comments, recommendations, and constructive suggestions were overwhelmingly positive, prompting ATAB to expand its efforts, including the development of anti-terrorism training and certification programs. ATAB acts as a qualified source of information and training.
Our member list reads like a "who's who" in the security and counter terrorism communities. Some of our members conduct training for State and Federal responders. Others provide services to the military. Still others fill education and training voids for interested individuals that are not affiliated with government or other authorities. Since many of our members are employed in positions of authority, trust and responsibility, we maintain strict confidentiality and do not, under any circumstance, disclose personal information without the expressed, written consent of the member.
In short, ATAB identifies gaps in current response methodologies, develops cutting edge training and certification programs, and makes them available to interested parties. We are proud of the fact that we have trained over 58,000 first responders and other anti-terrorism professionals around the world. ATAB has provided emergency rations and medical supplies to flood and earthquake victims, Christmas gifts and financial assistance to individuals in need and to veterans' families. ATAB has no annual fees or dues.

Roommates.com is the best referral service of its kind that I have ever used. It was quick and easy and extremely helpful. It was a lifesaver for me. I found the perfect place and I am very happy. I don't think I could've found it any other way. I don't know how people found roommates before roommates.com!! Thank you, - Tracy
I think very highly of this website. I really liked the "room-mail" service. As a woman it made me feel more secure than giving out my email address to whoever wanted it. I had been searching for over a month before I signed up, and after I did I found my roommate in 2 days. Thank you so much. I will be referring my friends in the future. - Alice

This blogger has of late been particularly vegetative politically. But in every other aspect of life has been overwhelmed with major crises of augmentative proportions. Hence – no blogging, no motivation for blogging, no inspiration for blogging. Zilch.
The Scottish Referendum was exciting but failed to initiate a post. The General Election came and went. So far, so underwhelming. I voted Green, being mega- pee'd off with the offer of Austerity-Lite from the Labour leadership. I even felt vindicated by the fact that my vote didn't make a blind bit of difference to the end result despite friends threatening me that hell would freeze over if I didn't vote for Ed. Labour lost by a landslide anyway.
Then came the Greek crisis and a mega political infatuation with Yanis Varoufakis. I still hang on to his every word. BUT I understand why Tsipras backed down and gave in to the Euro Bullies. The alternative was too horrendous for Greece to cope with alone. Even though 60% of voters were apparently up for risking it.
And now we have Jeremy. Bless'im. Bless him for agreeing to stand. Bless him for talking straight. Bless him for standing by his principles. Bless him for trucking around the country at the age of 60 something rallying the committed and the disenchanted. Bless him for initiating the most exciting political debate for decades which was sadly missing during the election campaign. Bless him for ignoring the personal abuse. Bless him for his calmness in not rising to the bait. And bless him for motivating me to write again.
And him such an unlikely JC figure. It doesn't even matter if he doesn't win cos he's started something. But I think he will win. And it doesn't even matter if the Labout Party splits as a result because it is about time the Labout Party did split – Into those who believe in capitalism and those who believe in kindness. High time for them to stop getting the two confused. And when it comes down to it, the electorate will also have to choose whether they believe in capitalism or kindness and I'll go with the majority cos I believe in democracy. Even our crummy first past the post sort of democracy cos that's all we've got for now. And if capitalism wins in the short term, I'll pursue the Creative Commons and continue growing the alternative. "In a world thus redirected from the 'shareholder value' of neoliberalism to the 'labour value' of postcapitalism, there would still be labour. But, increasingly, it would be labour voluntarily shared for mutual benefit, rather than contracted and corralled by a capitalist." (https://opendemocracy.net/robin-wilson/this-time-it%E2%80%99s-different)
But call me naive and simplistic and unrealistcally optimistic I don't think capitalism will win. #JezWeCan!!!!

Wolves Home / Gray Wolves of Yellowstone
Monday, October 7, 1996
Phone calls and paperwork
Friday, I spent all day in the office. I restocked our equipment kits after the visit to the acclimation pen and answered phone calls. We used syringes to give the pups vaccinations and I put new disposable syringes in the kits for next time. The radio-collars we put on the wolves weighed about half a pound and the batteries should last for three years.
Later in the day I worked on a presentation I'm going to give at a wolf meeting in Albany, New York, during November. This meeting is being organized by the Defenders of the Wildlife and more than 500 people will attend. I should do OK if I prepare in advance and practice my talk. I will give a report about the progress of the wolf restoration in Yellowstone. (The population is now 52 in 7 packs. Forty are free-ranging and 12 are in acclimation pens.) Other people will report on the red wolves and the Mexican wolves. Conferences give us a chance to meet with colleagues, zoo professionals, and people who love wolves.
I also spent a lot of time on the phone. When I'm in
the office I spend a lot of my time talking to journalists
that are writing stories about the wolves. Many magazines
and newspapers have written stories about the wolves.
I am pleased with their interest because I know it
is the stories they write that keep the American public
informed about the wolves. But I don't much like talking
on the telephone. I would rather be in the field watching
the wolves. Oh well, some days are more fun than others.

Bemidji State hands No. 9 Wisconsin upset in first game at LaBahn Arena
MADISON, Wis. -- In the first game played at Wisconsin's brand-new LaBahn Arena, Bemidji State pulled off an upset, shutting out the ninth-ranked Badgers 1-0 on Friday. The Beavers beat UW for the fourth time in 53 meetings and snapped an eight-game losing skid against Wisconsin that dated back to Feb. 7, 2010.
Kristin Huber scored the game's only goal 4:54 into the third period and Abby Ryplanski came up with a 27-save shutout.
The game, in which BSU halted a three-game losing streak overall and recorded its first WCHA win of the season, was played in front of a capacity crowd 2,273. Bemidji State is now 2-3-0 overall and is 1-2-0-0 in conference play, while the Badgers dropped to 3-3-1 and 1-3-1-1 in league action. UW, who has now been shut out in three consecutive contests, lost only three WCHA games in regulation in the whole 2011-12 season.
Similar to its 1-0 loss to St. Cloud State University six days prior, the Beavers played even with their opponent through the first 40 minutes of play. Wisconsin, the only school BSU was unable to defeat on its 2011-12 schedule, held a slim 19-17 shot advantage after two periods, but Ryplanski and Wisconsin netminder Alex Rigsby kept the game scoreless heading into the final stanza.
In the third period, the first goal in the new arena would prove to be enough for a BSU victory.
Early in the frame, two Badger players collided and lost control of the puck deep in their defensive zone. With Rigsby out of the net, Huber pounced on an opportunity stemming from a Megan Lushanko feed to give BSU the lead.
Huber, who played in her first two games of the season last week against SCSU, potted her first goal. With the goal, the Beavers opened the scoring in a game for the first time in its 2012-13 campaign.
Ryplanski took control from there, stopping all eight UW shots she faced in the third period to earn her second career shutout and first as a Beaver.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by TPi, Mar 12, 2006.
wasn't it already released ??
That was the (EU) version.
Terrible game.
Yeah, but then again, they are just dumping the trash so we can play with it.
Well it was the last USA cart to be release that had been put out in stores. So that's all from the USA for the time being except for pre-releases and random stuff probably.
Is the DS version as insanely bad as the GBA version?
It's worse, because the technical capabilities of the DS could have made this much better
it's worse than NFS... MW & Underground...combined
Yeah, because those are good games.
Edit: Oops, sorry, meant the GBA versions.
Sorry, I'd have to disagree here. It's NOT as bad as Most Wanted. That game was like a freaking raping our virgin DS. This game is really not that bad. Graphics wise it's actually pretty decent, but the gameplay is somewhat lacking.
Guys you drive a semi truck.....there is no gameplay......maybe at the arcade so you can sit in a "cab" and see what like without an education is like. "Check breaker breaker....." But then again people like to play farming sims.....so this can be a solid title for wannabe truck drivers I guess.....
WeaponX, I've never read a post from you that I haven't liked... you always say it like how it is!
this mutha f....a game is everywhere!
Edit: Never mind...
The xbox game sucked, couldn't even imagine playing the ds version.

Simple Testosterone Advices
The advice I provide in this article is 100% scientifically proven to increase testosterone, and it's easy to follow!
Nutritional Deficiencies
For optimal testosterone levels, keep your zinc and vitamin D levels up to par. A huge proportion of males are deficient in these two. Being deficient can and will hinder your testosterone production.
There are two ways to correct a zinc deficiency. The first is through supplementation by using ZMA, a patented formula that contains zinc, vitamin B6, and magnesium. The second way is by consuming high quantities of meat and shellfish. The relationship between zinc and testosterone is so powerful that even a casual attempt to avoid zinc results in a dramatic drop in testosterone. Some older men with low testosterone can double it by supplementing with zinc. Aim for 30mg of zinc daily.
The recommended dietary allowance for vitamin D is between 400 and 800 International Units (IU) per day. Living far away from the equator or staying indoors too much can make you deficient in vitamin D because exposure to sunlight allows your body to make it naturally. Supplementing with 3,000 IU of vitamin D per day will increase your testosterone through regulation of the enzyme aromatase.
A recent study found that supplementing athletes with 750 mg. of magnesium led to a 26% increase in free testosterone. Another found that older men with low magnesium levels had lower free and total testosterone compared to the group with high magnesium levels. Magnesium is an awesome nutrient that promotes better sleep, relaxes the central nervous system, and regulates blood sugar.
Avoiding nutritional deficiencies is a crucial step on the road to a healthy testosterone level.
On The Other Side
Being sexually aroused, watching sexually arousing films or erotica, or even watching hard-hitting or funny films leads to an increase in testosterone concentration and can potentially boost your training performance. Watching sad films or being in the presence of crying women decreases your testosterone.
The scent of a woman at the peak of her reproductive cycle can also raise your testosterone. Men who smelled T-shirts that had been worn by ovulating women had higher testosterone levels. And a five-minute conversation with an attractive woman increases your testosterone level by 30%. Her reaction to your approach does not change the increase you experience.
When out with friends for drinks, choose wisely. Choosing brandy over Coca-Cola does make a difference. Low doses of alcohol are associated with minor increases in testosterone, while a drink containing sugar such as Coca-Cola leads to a 25% decrease in testosterone because it elevates blood sugar. Drinking sugary soft drinks over time continually elevates your blood sugar. This little SUGAR game also leads to eating the wrong kinds of foods. The right combinations of foods are a must in achieving optimal testosterone levels. Grains, pasta, and processed foods elevate blood sugar and should be avoided. If you must eat these foods, pair them with foods that lower your glycemic response, such as meat, nuts, fish, and dairy products.
When you start your day with cereal, you also start your day with a high glycemic load. Then if you eat pasta for lunch, for example, you lower your testosterone even further. But that's not ALL this does to your body. The sudden drop in blood glucose a while after such meals makes you even hungrier. And not only you are lowering your testosterone, but you are also on the road to ADDING WEIGHT. Going low-glycemic not only increases testosterone, but also helps maintain a healthy weight.
What About Exercise?
The final and most beneficial thing to do is to join a yoga class. There are many reasons for this advice. Yoga relaxes and de-stresses you, which is an important factor in maintaining normal cortisol levels. When cortisol is elevated, it blocks the function of testosterone. A study was done in India on married couples before and after practicing yoga. There were miraculous improvements in desire, arousal, ERECTIONS, orgasms, satisfaction, blood pressure, and heartbeat. These are just some of the tangible results of practicing yoga; its emotional benefits are also worth considering. There are MOSTLY WOMEN at yoga classes, and you get a BOOST in TESTOSTERONE just from being around them. And the coolest thing is that yoga helps build your SEX MUSCLES – those muscles around your penis!

Peel the potatoes and cut them in 1-inch cubes. Place the potatoes in a pressure cooker with water to cover and a tablespoon of salt and cook over medium heat until tender, for about 5 minutes. You can also cook the potatoes in a saucepan, bring to boil and reduce to simmer until tender, for about 30 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them into the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the butter and milk and whip the potatoes to a smooth texture, about 5 minutes. You shouldn't see any lumps. If you do, keep mixing. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Pressure cookers save a ton of time in the kitchen. You can also cook the potatoes in a pot but the pressure cooker cuts the cook time of the potatoes from 30 minutes to 5 minutes!

Training in Bioenergetic Analysis consists of two phases: pre-clinical and clinical. Individuals will be encouraged to progress through the program at their own rate. The process of completing these two phases will generally take from four to six years. There will usually be eight to ten training weekends during the year with six hours of training each day. Training is both experiential and didactic in mode. While the specifics of each training program vary slightly, reflecting cultural and professional norms around the world, all training in Bioenergetic Analysis is affiliated with and conducted under the direct supervision of the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis, offering a professional training program leading to certification as a bioenergetic psychotherapist.
Pre-Clinical Phase
Training in this phase includes:
- an in-depth study of the theory of Bioenergetic Analysis including an understanding of the energetic process and character, and the ways they are represented in the body and the defensive structure of personality. Participants will be encouraged to explore their own energetic process and character structure as well as those of others.
- basic readings of the work of Reich, Lowen and others.
Clinical Phase
Training in this phase includes:
- a study of the bioenergetic therapeutic process and character analysis with particular emphasis on transference and countertansference.
- clinical work with clients under supervision in individual or group sessions. To satisfactorily complete the program, a minimum of 50 hours of acceptable supervision is required. (Actual hours of required personal therapy and supervision are determined by individual training programs.)
Have a look on the Training Curriculum (abstract) : Here !
Personal Therapy
Becoming a bioenergetic psychotherapist necessitates understanding one's own energetic process and characterological problems. Generally, applicants for certification are expected to be involved in their own bioenergetic therapy for a minimum of 150 hours with a certified bioenergetic therapist who is acceptable to the training committee.
Certification as bioenergetic therapist involves extensive supervision. Group, individual and in vivo supervision provide the bioenergetic trainee with extended opportunities to refine and enhance his/her work with clients. Issues of theory, technique, intervention, transference and countertransference are addressed in the course of supervision during the final three years of training.
Certification will be granted by the individual training committee which will evaluate each trainee's readiness in three areas: personal therapy, supervision and satisfactory completion of the two phases of training. Bioenergetic psychotherapists have years of training in both Bioenergetic Analysis and psychotherapy which enhances their ability to work with the depth and breadth of therapeutic issues. To be certified as a bioenergetic therapist, you must hold a valid license to practice psychotherapy, in accordance with the laws of your state or country.
A limited number of individuals who wish to participate in phase one of the training, who are not eligible for certification, may be accepted into the training program as auditors.
Faculty and Training Committee
All trainers in Bioenergetic Analysis have successfully completed all requirements for becoming a certified bioenergetic therapist, a bioenergetic supervisor and a bioenergetic trainer. Many have also completed the requirements to become an International Trainer in Bioenergetic Analysis.
Specific information about training in Bioenergetic Analysis in your area is available through contacting one of the Societies nearest you. If your request for information is not responded to in a timely manner, please contact the International Institute and we'll make sure you get the information you need.

Killer Trucks 2
As a cop, your job is to implement the law at all cost. It means that you need to arrest or kill someone, who will resist arrest. That is why, you are on the job and you need to make sure that everything would be fine on your town or you would get scolded by the chief of Police. If you got scolded then probably, you are not doing your job right or something is up. Out on the street, everyone is on their own and they need to be tough or they would just get abuse. Fortunately, the cops are there to arrest those hoodlums. When the hoodlums manage to seize one city, one cop was called in to control the situation. You, are among the best and the department has lot of courage on what you can do. They know that you can handle the situation, so they even gave you, your own monster truck. You need it to reprimand those vagabonds. You need to take out the thugs as soon as possible and there is no way that you could do that without a vehicle that would take you to a lot of area. Suddenly, there is hope and the citizen looks up at you with high respect. In this game, you are not going to fight every criminal in the city just to get them. Here, you won't leave the vehicle as you are going to drive through all the things that needed to be squashed in the city. The idea here is to crash every last one of those criminals while destroying most of the things that you see on the road. More destruction means better on your part since that is what this game is all about. The game gets more exciting and adrenaline pumping as you make some progress.

|Planning service
|How the planning service works
We have provided the top-level stages involved (and costs) for a typical CMS deployment and associated hosting in our pricing document. This information will help you decide what your organisation needs to implement a cloud hosted content management system.
The stages correspond to those in the Government Digital Service's Service Manual and Digital Service Standard.
During your shortlisting process, we will discuss your project in more detail and provide you with a very detailed method statement and more accurate costs tailored to your project's exact specification and hosting requirements.
Once we begin working together, we can assist with all aspects of planning for your new system, including:
• Technical alignment meetings with your other service providers and internal IT team
• Cloud strategy, business analysis and stakeholder requirements
• User needs and requirements gathering for your new CMS
• Content audit and inventory
• Content map and migration strategy
• Information architecture
• Technical and security architecture
• Hosting planning, server configuration and hardening
• Wireframe prototype, user journeys and solution design
• User testing planning
• Onsite training, user documentation and video 'reminders' of commonly used functionality
|Planning service works with specific services
|Hosting or software services the planning service works with
|Training service provided
|How the training service works
Our training sessions for your CMS typically last between half a day and a full day, depending on your CMS deployment's functionality. You will be trained by your S8080 project manager and the lead developer for your project. These two people will have been intimately involved in your project from inception and will have a detailed understanding of every aspect.
Before they arrive at your offices, they will prepare easy to read, concise documentation for you and your team and also brief video tutorials for common tasks. These videos will always be available to you as 'reminders' for CMS tasks that you may only perform occassionally.
We encourage a 'train the trainer' approach to keep your training costs low, and we'll typically train up to six members of your team in the session. If you'd like larger groups trained, we may split the training into several smaller groups to retain the the ideal traner/trainee ratios.
|Training is tied to specific services

Setup and migration
|Setup or migration service available
|How the setup or migration service works
S8080 assist with transition planning and can provide code review, security and UX compliance audits of existing websites or applications before helping you with migration.
If you'd like us to migrate or support a CMS, website or online application that has been built by another provider, we will need to check a few things first - we may need to do a code review and validate various technical aspects including security, accessibility and usability.
Once these checks have been made, we'll assist with any remedial technical, UX or security actions. We'll then be able to help with CMS setup, configuration and optimisation, cloud hosting setup, incorporating branded accessible templates that work across different browsers and devices. Finally, if required, we can help you with your existing content; assisting with a content audit, mapping existing content to your new system and developing a migration plan.
Once live, we'll support your CMS - upgrading, maintenance, hosting, security patching, system hardening, development, training and 24/7/365 monitoring.

How it works: if your website or application becomes unavailable at 1.30am on Christmas morning, our developers will be alerted and will investigate the issue with the hosting provider's engineers to get things working again soon as possible. It saves our clients from having to worry about their website being offline at 9.00am on a working day.

The future. Tomorrow. It will all get better. We seem to believe everything will be easier in the future. My husband often makes plans for the future, believing we will have more time in the future to do things. A good friend of mine with three young children looks to the future thinking life with children will slow down...then she looks at the schedule of a friend of ours with three older children (two teenagers and one in elementary) and realizes it doesn't slow down. It gets busier.
I can't remember where I heard it, but someone counseled to never depend on having more time tomorrow than you have today. This is wise to apply to all aspects of life. Don't plan on tomorrow bringing you more money than you have today. And don't plan on tomorrow bringing you a child who is more willing to comply with your instruction.
What does credit card parenting mean? First, think of how a credit card works. You buy stuff using a credit card, planning to pay for it tomorrow. As soon as you buy it, you start earning interest on it. Perhaps you have a card with a grace period, but when those 30 days are up, your extra supply of cash you were hoping for doesn't come, so again, you have to pay the interest. Now that item you purchased will cost you a lot more. It will take more money to pay for it than it would have if you had waited until you actually had the money. Not only do you owe for what you originally paid for, but at the end of the interest-calculating period, that interest is added to your total that you owe. You then owe interest on the new total for the next period--not just the first total. This is compounded interest.
So how does this relate to your children and training? First, you must accept that tomorrow is not going to be an easier time to train your child. I have had these thoughts, also. You think the child will be more mature in the future, have better communication skills, and therefore be easier to teach these concepts to. When you allow inappropriate behavior to continue in hopes of having a child who is more willing to comply with your instruction, you will be sorely disappointed.
Your child will not be more willing to comply. Your child will be confused. You will be removing freedoms that were once allowed. That isn't going to make your child more amiable. It will likely bring out a tantrum. Teach your child now.
I must point out a few caveats here. When I say teach your child now, I don't mean you take your 2 week old and start working on things like "Yes Mommy" and hand-folding. You teach your child when it is age-appropriate. Not sooner, and not later. There are age guidelines for when certain training is appropriate, but you also must be the parent and evaluate your child as an individual. While doing this, don't underestimate your child. She is capable of more than you might think. She understands a lot more than you realize. I also must warn that you don't expect more than she is able to give.
Along the same lines, it is perfectly fine to wait for your child to be ready for something before you train or move forward with a transition. If your child isn't ready to handle the freedom of moving to a "big girl" bed, keep her in the crib until she is ready. This is called parenting in the funnel (see funnel ).
Also, avoiding credit card parenting doesn't mean that if you have a 12 month old and have let certain behaviors go on for the last six months all hope is lost. It is never too late to start training your child. It might take more time and more effort, but as the saying goes, better late than never. So when you realize there is something you haven't started or something you have allowed that you shouldn't have, fix it. There is no time like the present. And notice I said when and not if. It will happen. You aren't perfect.
Believe me when I tell you that it is much easier to address discipline issues from the beginning. It is easier on you and easier on the child. An 8 month old is a lot more willing to comply than an 18 month old. Start now. You will be glad you did.

The Swiss Federal Supreme Court on 11 September 2016 decided that a "group request" filed by the Netherlands for unnamed customers of a Swiss bank was acceptable, and reverse a decision of the Swiss Federal Administrative Court.
After the closure of a voluntary disclosure program in the Netherlands, the Dutch tax authorities tried to obtain the names of persons who either did not satisfy their tax obligations or did not participate in the voluntary disclosure program.
The Dutch tax authorities submitted a request to the Swiss tax administration for administrative assistance concerning certain un-named customers of Swiss banks. The "group request" was for bank customers domiciled in the Netherlands and who had held accounts with the bank between 1 February 2013 and 31 December 2014 and who were notified by the bank that their accounts would be closed unless they could prove their tax conformity and the customers in fact did not prove such tax conformity to the bank.
The Swiss tax administration determined that this group request was permissible. However, the Swiss Federal Administrative Court subsequently determined that the group request was not permissible.
Following deliberations on 11 September 2016, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court decided that the group request was acceptable.
Switzerland has already concluded more than 60 income tax treaties and tax information agreements that permit administrative assistance based on group requests. Moreover, under the OECD administrative assistance convention concerning Switzerland, group requests will be possible as of 2017. The administrative assistance convention foresees retroactive effect to 1 January 2014. It is expected that a number of other countries could follow the example set by the Netherlands and address Switzerland with similar group requests. At this time, it remains to be seen which countries will place a similar request.
Bank customers still holding undeclared assets need to consider disclosing these assets as soon as possible, especially in view of the fact that many countries are offering rather attractive voluntary disclosure programs at the moment. Also, Switzerland will begin to transmit tax data regarding 2017 for the first time in September 2018 to EU Member States, Australia, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Iceland, Japan, Jersey, Canada, Norway, and South Korea.

B-shares: Delivering a difference.
Why B-shares?
Oregon consistently ranks among the top ten worst states in the nation for outright hunger, but each year, Oregonians throw away 150 lbs of food per person. In the Portland area, close to 200,000 tons of food ends up in landfills, further contributing to greenhouse gases. This wasted food is a lost opportunity to impact hunger in our community.
B-Line is committed to making our communities more livable – whether by reducing congestion and CO2 emissions in our cities, or doing our share to help those in need. With your help, B-Line can make deliveries that make a difference in our community.
How can the B-share program help?
Transportation of surplus food is one of the biggest challenges the food assistance network faces in sourcing food donations. As a transportation company making seven or more round-trip delivery routes in downtown Portland daily, B-Line can leverage its existing business model and deliver food donations at a greatly reduced cost–50% or less than the costs typically incurred. Learn more about the cost benefits of the B-share program here.
With great partners like Whole Foods Market, New Seasons Market, Dave's Killer Bread, R & K Foods, and the People's Coop Farmer's Market providing high-quality, fresh, and healthy food donations, B-Line can quickly and efficiently deliver it directly to our nonprofit partners in the urban core who are providing food assistance: Sisters Of The Road, Portland Rescue Mission, Blanchet House, pear, and St. Francis Dining Hall.
Purchase B-shares now.
Be a part of the solution
Every dollar of B-shares purchased:
- Buys two meals at one of our nonprofit partners
- Reduces waste, congestion, and carbon-emissions in our city
- Supports B-Line's mission of creating healthier communities

JAEGGI: Hygiene-certified Dry cooling Technology
The requirements for operating evaporative cooling systems are becoming increasingly strict. The requirements of VDI Guideline 2047-2 "Hygienically sound operation of evaporative cooling systems", in particular, not only impose obligations on the operators of evaporative cooling systems in Germany, rather also assert specific requirements with respect to the design and equipping of the units used. All open and closed cooling towers are affected by the requirements of the guideline.
The Güntner Group ensures that all design measures are taken that can contribute to hygienic operation of evaporative coolers. Therefore, both the JAEGGI HTK Hybrid Dry Cooler (capacity range: 100 – 4.000 kW) and the JAEGGI ADC Adiabatic Dry Cooler (capacity range: 50 – 2,000 kW) have thus now also been certified specially in line with the requirements of VDI 2047, Sheet 2, by the Institute for Air Hygiene (ILH). The design of the units also considers national regulations, however, such as the Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) L8 guidelines applicable in Great Britain and Ireland. These were supplemented by the publication of HSG274 Part 1, which places stricter demands on the risk assessment of these units.
The design measures employed with the JAEGGI HTK Hybrid Dry Coolers are based on the different phases of the event chain for legionella proliferation: entry of legionella, uncontrolled proliferation, spread of infection caused by aerosol contamination.
Requirements include minimising the entry of biological material and germ-promoting substances in general and especially through make-up water, without exceeding the legal limits of the biocide dosage. In order to achieve these aims, the JAEGGI HTK Hybrid Dry Cooler also incorporates precise regulation in addition to constructive measures such as tray covers. The proliferation of legionella bacteria is countered using a variety of measures, from selection of the design material through to ease of maintenance and servicing.
In terms of the central issue of spreading of contaminated aerosols, the Hybrid Dry Cooler offers especially reliable protection, which again was specially certified. Year-round vapour-free operation was verified by an aerosol measurement performed by the DMT in Essen with a so-called blotting paper test.
The JAEGGI ADC Adiabatic Dry Cooler is an advanced dry cooler variant. The simplicity of its dry cooler is particularly convincing. When the outdoor temperature is high, the ambient air can also be pre-cooled to ensure low coolant outlet temperatures.
Adiabatic pre-cooling is achieved via humidification pads in an angular arrangement in front of the dry cooler. Both modes can provide excellent dry cooler performance with a small footprint and low operating costs. The cooling limit, i.e. the theoretically best possible return temperature for the ADC Adiabatic Dry Cooler is tied to the wet bulb temperature of the ambient air at the dry cooler.
The angle arrangement of the HydroPad humidification pads offers several benefits. On one hand, this solution provides an ideal mix of good air supply and distribution; and on the other hand, it ensures hygienic operation as the formation of aerosols is prevented and the wetting water is not recirculated. The units can, of course, also be operated in dry mode; without wetting, the energy is dissipated to the ambient air via convection just as with conventional finned dry coolers. In periods of prolonged dry operation, the lower pad sections can be suspended in front of the upper sections. This reduces the pressure drop for the air supply, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the fans.

September 27, 2013
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law. The law and subsequent changes made to the law focus on provisions to expand coverage, control health care costs and improve the health care delivery system. Open enrollment for health insurance coverage through the Marketplace begins on October 1, 2013 for coverage starting as early as January 1, 2014.
Section 1512 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act creates a new Fair Labor Standards Act, section 18B, requiring employers to notify employees of coverage options available through the Health Insurance Marketplace. This requirement extends to all employees without regard to eligibility for health insurance offered by The City University of New York.
Notices are being sent to all employees via email or regular mail. For your easy reference, we are also providing a copy of the notice entitled "New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options and Your Health Coverage" via the link below. Please determine which notice below is appropriate for you based on your particular health insurance program and college. Most employees should refer to the New York City Health Benefits Program Notice based on whether you are a Senior College or Community College employee. However, please note that there are specific notices for adjunct staff members and Doctoral Students.
Senior College Employees:
Community College Employees:
Doctoral Students:
If you have any questions about your health insurance coverage or your options, please use the contact information provided in your notice.

When was the last time there was a movie that focused on two women (or more) both over 30 that opened on 2,500 screens? I count three in the last two years. Earlier this year there was Joyful Noise starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton (which wasn't a big success.) And last year there were the megahits Bridesmaids and The Help.
And now we have Won't Back Down. The film stars Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal as two moms who use the "parent trigger" law to try and take over the failing local school. Davis plays a beloved teacher who sees her son struggling and also sees the school where she works falling apart around her. Gyllenhaal plays a single mom on a mission. Her daughter has dyslexia and she will move heaven and earth to get her agood education.
Both actresses are terrific. And in a year where there are so few strong female Oscar caliber performances (more on that coming soon) both of these women have potential to vault themselves into the Oscar conversation. The issue is that their performances are better than the movie, which while I liked it comes off as preachy. And second and more important, the film is vociferously anti-union, specifically anti-teachers union. The filmmakers have denied the film is anti union but they really don't have a leg to stand on especially since there is a scene in the film where the union organizer played by Holly Hunter attempts to bribe Gyllenhaal's character to drop her attempt to take over the school with a scholarship for her daughter to a private school.
It's not news to anyone paying attention to the world around us that public schools are struggling. The whole system is a mess. And also the film is co-financed by Walden Media which is owned by the Christian conservative Philip Anschutz. Walden Media also released the critical praised documentary Waiting for Superman.
The film has not gotten a lot of pre-release press before this week (and screening were not plentiful). It also went through a bunch of name changes (Still I Rise, Learning to Fly, Steel Town) before settling on Won't Back Down. Gyllenhaal and Davis started the full press for the film this week but there is limited buzz about the film except the for the teachers union which are promising boycotts.
Davis went on the Today show and addressed the protests head on.
I welcome discourse; I think discourse is a good thing. I think it spearheads change…. And you know what, in this movie, the teacher at the end of the day is the hero. They save the day. And it's a system that's broken, that needs to be fixed.

She talked about how she lvoed the story and as an actress she looks for good stories.
When The Help came out there was much consternation about the types of roles available for African American actresses. People want to see women of color in a diversity of roles, not just as maids. Well, here is a film with one of our best and brightest actresses and she plays an amazingly strong woman who is a leader.
Quite frankly, I am shocked that people are not talking about this performance because as usual, she is stellar.
I do have concern that movies about women will suffer if this film doesn't open well. (Of the 19 reviews as of 11am EST on Rotten Tomatoes, 6 are fresh and 13 are rotten.) There are so many complications for its success or failure that has nothing to do with the gender of the leads. Who knows if it will be seen that way. By Sunday I fear we could be back to our old conversation on the fact that movies that star women are not successful.
