Kessler Foundation and University of New Hampshire release nTIDE Report - Monthly Update
EAST HANOVER, NJ--(Marketwired - April 07, 2017) - Americans with disabilities continue to outpace their counterparts without disabilities, achieving a full year of job gains, according to today's National Trends in Disability Employment - Monthly Update (nTIDE), issued by Kessler Foundation and University of New Hampshire's Institute on Disability (UNH-IOD). This is the first time in nTIDE reporting that data have been this encouraging. Integrating vocational resources into medical rehabilitation is a promising strategy for maintaining employment among people with disabling injuries of the brain and spinal cord. Hospital-based programs based on early intervention can help people stay in the workplace, or prepare them to return to work.
In the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Jobs Report released Friday, April 7, the employment-to-population ratio for working-age people with disabilities increased from 27.3 percent in March 2016 to 28.6 percent in March 2017 (up 4.8 percent; 1.3 percentage points). For working-age people without disabilities, the employment-to-population ratio also increased from 72.5 percent in March 2016 to 73.3 percent in March 2017 (up 1.1 percent; 0.8 percentage points). The employment-to-population ratio, a key indicator, reflects the percentage of people who are working relative to the total population (the number of people working divided by the number of people in the total population multiplied by 100).
"A milestone has been achieved. For the first time since we began reporting these data in 2013, we have seen twelve consecutive months of improvement in the proportion of people with disabilities in the workplace," according to John O'Neill, PhD, director of employment and disability research at Kessler Foundation. "One year of employment growth is very encouraging and shows people with disabilities are striving to work as they move toward pre-Great Recession employment levels," he added.
The labor force participation rate for working-age people with disabilities increased from 31.0 percent in March 2016 to 32.3 percent in March 2017 (up 4.2 percent; 1.3 percentage points). For working-age people without disabilities, the labor force participation rate also increased from 76.3 percent in March 2016 to 76.6 percent in March 2017 (up 0.4 percent; 0.3 percentage points). The labor force participation rate is the percentage of the population that is working or actively looking for work.
"The employment gains by people with disabilities continue to outpace those of people without disabilities. This is a great sign, however, there is a long way to go to close the employment gap between people with and without disabilities," said Andrew Houtenville, PhD, associate professor of economics at UNH, and research director at the Institute on Disability.
For individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), maintaining employment promotes independence, social interaction, and life satisfaction. Despite advances in acute care and rehabilitation, their employment rates are very low. Because of progressively shorter durations of inpatient rehabilitation, there is less time to explore employment options. Through a pilot study underway at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, inpatients with SCI are being connected with vocational services that prepare them to return to competitive employment.
"We need to determine the types of services that help individuals with SCI return to the workplace," noted Dr. O'Neill, PhD, the study's principal investigator. "This demonstration project provides an embedded professional -- a vocational resource facilitator -- who works with each individual to coordinate vocational services and employment opportunities, and continues to provide support for two years after discharge. We are well on our way to achieving our goal of returning 30 individuals to work." The Kessler study, which is funded by the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation, includes the New Jersey Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services. "If successful, the program will become self-sustaining in three years. That will support the adoption of similar programs nationwide."
In March 2017, among workers ages 16-64, the 4,532,000 workers with disabilities represented 3.2 percent of the total 143,462,000 workers in the U.S.
The next nTIDE will be issued on Friday, May 5, 2017.
Join our nTIDE Lunch & Learn series, starting today, April 7 at 12:00pm EST. This live broadcast, hosted via Zoom Webinar, will offer attendees Q&A on the latest nTIDE findings, provide news and updates from the field, as well as invited panelists to discuss current disability-related findings and events. John Tschida, MPP, associate executive director for research and policy of the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) and former director of NIDILRR, joins Drs. Houtenville and O'Neill, Michael Murray of Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and Denise Rozell, policy strategist at AUCD, to discuss today's findings.

SuiteLinq Now Delivering Digital Content, Connectivity & Commerce on One Enterprise-wide, Modular Platform(February 15, 2012)
Exton, PA (PRWEB) February 15, 2012
SuiteLinq Inc., the leading single-source provider of in-room, on-site and mobile content, connectivity and commerce to hotels, is introducing a new arsenal of enterprise-wide digital services for 2012 that will engage hotel guests in the brand's experience via IPTV, IPVOD, Mobile, Desktop, Laptop, Tablet and Microsoft Surface technologies. All guest touch technologies free-to-guest IPTV and IP Video-On-Demand, high-speed internet access and Wi-Fi connectivity, mobile applications, private/public-area guest computing, and in-room / on-floor gaming are now available to hotels via SuiteLinq on a single, secure platform. Better yet, the SuiteLinq platform is modular, enabling hotels to add applications as desired.
"SuiteLinq is in synch with what today's travelers demand and hoteliers need to remain competitive," said Craig Ziegler, President of SuiteLinq. "By integrating all digital guest touch points in the hotel into one powerful enterprise-wide platform, we are delivering the services guests want in the format they prefer. This added flexibility for hotels means more choices and more conveniences for guests. Now, hoteliers can better communicate with their customers before, during and even after their stay on the devices they use the most, making it possible for them to stay entertained, explore, and spend more."
The SuiteLinq interactive platform consists of six components:
- Q | Vision offering free-to-guest programming and Video-On-Demand via IPTV;
- Q | Linq delivering a feature-rich interactive portal via local HSIA and WiFi connectivity;
- Q | Mobile driving on-site amenity purchases via a mobile app for iPhone, Android, Win Phone 7, Blackberry, iPad and similar tablets;
- Q | Touch presenting content via in-room and public area desktops, kiosks and Microsoft Surface multi-touch/-user interactive devices;
- Q | Console deploying and managing content, services and performance analytics on all these devices via SuiteLinq's Content Administration System; and
- Q | Gaming turning casino guestrooms into personal gaming parlors (where law allows) and opening new revenue streams on existing digital slot machines.
Each of these six modular components can be implemented in any order and function independent of each other. A hotel can easily equip 15 rooms with Q | Vision from the onset and then add more rooms as needed in the future. The same is true for each application. In addition, SuiteLinqs level of involvement is dictated by each hotel. A property can take a limited-service approach and manage the installed appliances themselves, or SuiteLinq can manage the implementation ongoing.
'Power of the Q'
"The SuiteLinq interactive platform is dynamic, adaptable, and expandable to reply to market and hotel demands," Ziegler said. "For hoteliers, it creates an eco-system of digital touch points with their guests. Whether the guest is in the room, the lobby, the restaurant, poolside, on the golf course or in a taxi on the way to the hotel from the airport, SuiteLinq has a touch point to reach each guest in a way that is relevant to their environment. Content for the in-room guest can differ from content provided via mobile for guests touring the city. In each case, the SuiteLinq interactive platform provides the flexibility needed to be expandable and relevant across all digital media. In this way, SuiteLinq is putting the 'Power of the Q' to work for owners and their guests."
The SuiteLinq platform provides closed-loop communication and integration with peripheral property systems, such as property management, point of sale, central reservations, content management and customer-relationship management. In doing so, information can be exchanged from the guest to hotel and vice versa from the moment the guest reservation is made to long after he or she has checked out. SuiteLinq shares content between the hotel and guests' personal digital devices (mobile phones, tablets, and laptops) to keep them informed about guest services, on-site amenities, special packages and promotions, on- and off-site entertainment, local attractions, events, group activities, and more. Expanded integration with in-house systems such as room environmental control solutions enables guests to remotely control room temperature, lighting, drapes and more even if they are not on site.
"SuiteLinq's Q | Console allows hoteliers to manage and monetize all the guest touch points," Ziegler said. "The intuitive web-accessible tool enables staff at all levels to create and edit content, send messages to guests, report on key performance metrics and more from virtually anywhere. "
"To say that we are eager to introduce the new SuiteLinq to the industry is an understatement," Ziegler said. "While we have proven to be a reliable provider of desktop content and connectivity for the past 10 years, today we are so much more. If you're a hotelier looking for an affordable, all-inclusive solution for delivering guest content across all guest touch points today and into the future this is your 'Q' to call SuiteLinq."
About SuiteLinq:
SuiteLinq is part of a group of industry innovators including Microsoft and HP that deliver a comprehensive "ecosystem" of integrated technologies and digital services to the hospitality vertical. Corporate headquarters are located at 841 Springdale Drive, Exton, PA, 19341. Additional sales office located in the LINQ360 Innovation Center at 9555 Hillwood Drive, Las Vegas, NV, 89134.

It's actually much more simple than many people think to earn money from your digital photography hobby. The list of ideas I present here is nowhere near being entirely comprehensive. There are, in fact, a great many methods for making money from photography, but I'll provide you with just six of the easiest in order to get the ball rolling. Many photographers, from hobbyists to full-time professional photographers, are using the methods described below, and others, right now, to earn money by taking photographs. And, you can too.
Making Money From Photography #1: Selling stock photography
Chances are that it's much easier than you think to earn money simply by taking and selling stock photos through online stock photography agencies. With the astounding prevalence of various internet websites these days, and practically all of them needing digital photographs that they can obtain cheaply and easily to publish on their websites entirely legally, the market for such photographs is truly gigantic. Right now, many photographers of all skill levels are making money from photography by selling their images on a royalty free basis through one or more of these online stock photography agencies.
The process couldn't be more simple for you. You merely visit the web pages of some of these microstock agencies, sign-up for a free account as a contributing photographer, upload your images and, if your images are accepted, the stock photography agency will put your images into their catalog and begin shopping your images to prospective buyers. When one of your images sells, the agency will take a commission and send you the rest of the money from the sale.
The money you can earn from a single sale of one of your photos can range anywhere from $0.25 to literally hundreds of dollars (even thousands of dollars on a single sale in some rare cases) depending on the particular agency's pay-out structure and how the individual buyer intends to use your image.
Of course, the vast majority of images you sell through online stock photography agencies will likely pay you somewhere in the $2.00 or less per image range. But, it's important to remember that with this method you're not selling ownership for your images. You're merely selling someone a non-exclusive, royalty free license to use your image. This means that if one of your images sells, your image stays in the stock photography agency's catalog and it can be sold over and over and over again. For this reason, even though the sum of around $2.00 or less per sale may seem like a paltry amount, it's very possible to make dozens of sales per day from a relatively small catalog of images. With a little time, effort and work, you can build your catalog with a stock photography agency to a size where you're consistently making hundreds of sales each and every day, and earning an average of $1.00 on each of those sales.
The very top stock photographers who are making money from photography using this method are currently earning well into the six figure income category.
If you think you might be interested in investigating this method of making money from photography, I suggest you download the entirely free e-book that can be downloaded by clicking on this link, and studying it in depth. That free ebook will explain everything you need to know in order to begin making money from photography with this method. Also, check out the offer from one of higher-ranked microstock photography agencies called Dreamstime by clicking here.
Making Money From Photography #2: Sell your own screensavers!
This is a fairly little known method, but it works! Simply take a series of images that all fit into a certain theme. Try to pick a theme for which there is a community of people who are interested in that theme. You can, if you wanted to, just go out and take a series of photographs of pretty flowers, or photographs of rushing rivers, or something similar, but there's already countless such screensaver themes available. You might make a little money with such photography screensavers, but likely not too much — the competition will be too high. Instead, try to find a theme that's somewhat unique and different. Pick a series of a dozen or more of your best photographs within the theme and make your own screensaver. If the images are decent and the theme appeals to at least a small but significant community of people, the screensaver will sell on screensaver websites, and you'll earn a commission when it does. You can even sell your photography screensavers on eBay.
This method of making money from photography seems to be somewhat overlooked by many photographers at the moment, but there are some photographers making good money doing it. It's not the sort of thing you can earn a living off by itself, but its a quick and very easy method for supplementing your income. Once the initial work is done — taking the photos, assembling the screensaver and uploading it to screensaver sites — there's nothing else to do. You can sit back, never think about it again, nor do anymore work, and just continue to collect the residual payments.
Check out this link for detailed information on how to make money from photography by making and selling your own photography screensavers — from how to make actually make the screensavers to how and where to sell them.
Making Money From Photography #3: Restaurant photography
There are restaurants everywhere! Even if you live in a relatively small town there's likely many more restaurants in your area than you can count. Guess what: They all need photographs! Restaurants, and pretty much all food service businesses constantly need photos of their establishment, of their employees, of the dishes they serve and more. They're constantly having new promotional flyers printed, updating their websites, making new ads to be placed in newspapers, etc., etc., And, they need photos — current and fresh photos.
Approach restaurant management and let them know that you're available, and you could be their go-to photographer. Or, seek out and establish contact with graphic designers in your area that commonly work with businesses in the restaurant or food industry. This method of making money from photography will require a little bit of leg work and some face-to-face time, but it can be quite lucrative.
Making Money From Photography #4: Real estate photography
As with our making money from photography method number three, above, real estate agents, just like restaurateurs, are always in need of photographs. They're constantly listing new houses and they need photographs of those houses to put up on their listing websites, into their promotional materials and a number of other places. It might surprise you that most real estate agents actually take these photographs themselves. They're not skilled photographers and they have nothing but point-and-shoot grade photography equipment. In many cases, they'd absolutely love to have a skilled photographer taking their photos but they're just not aware that there are freelance photographers out there willing to work for a fee that they'd find more than attractive. Make yourself known to them and offer them your services. A good number of photographers have built comfortable careers doing nothing but real estate photography.
If you can establish a working relationship with just a few real estate agents in your area (which shouldn't be difficult to manage at all) this method of making money from photography can translate into very steady work — it's possible that you could find yourself constantly booked in practically no time flat.
Making Money From Photography #5: Online dating photography
The amount of growth that online dating has seen in recent times is truly astounding. It's estimated now that with one in every four marriages taking place in America the couple being married originally met each other online. There's truly a gigantic swath of people that are turning to online methods as a vehicle for meeting possible romantic interests. With each of these online dating sites a person creating a profile is required to upload a photograph of themselves. And, of course, it goes without saying that these people have a strong interest in looking their absolute best in those photos.
Of course, most people just don't know how to take flattering photographs of themselves. The ever-present "selfy" shot just doesn't look good. Make yourself available as a portrait photographer specializing in shooting portrait shots on the cheap for people looking to create online dating profiles and you could build yourself a constant stream of work using this method for making money from photography!
Making Money From Photography #6: Become a photo-blogger
It's very easy these days to set-up a money-making blog website. The reason most people don't have their own money making blog isn't because it's difficult to set one up — it's because they've got nothing to blog about. They've got nothing to fill the blog with — they have no means of creating regular content for that blog. But, if you're a photographer, you do!
People, in general, love looking at well crafted images. If you start a photo-blog, and you take photographs on a regular and consistent basis, you can publish those images to your photoblog and quickly build up a regular following. You'd simply then put ads on your photoblog which earn you money when a visitor clicks on them. You would sign up for a PPC type ad service like Google Adsense and/or use an affiliate commission type advertising service such as Clickbank. With the later, if you build a significant amount of traffic to your photoblog by building a regular following, and you choose highly targeted ads from the service to place on your photo-blog, it is actually possible to quite literally earn an absolute fortune with this method of making money from photography.
For an entirely free and extremely comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial on how exactly to set up your own money making blog site, there's an awesome walk-through located here.
Making Money From Photography:
So, there you have six easy methods to start you in on making money from photography. There are photographers out there right now — from hobbyists to pros — that are making money from photography with each of the methods listed above. And, you can easily put them into practice yourself to begin making money from photography on your own.

Les and Anne came in this afternoon and Les did a complete overhaul on my computer. He updated everything that needed updating and then explained some things to me. It started with me not being able to take pictures from my camera to put on my computer. It took a few hours to fix everything but he did it. Thank you son.

Tourist office links
News – 2017/18
Tour operator Ski2 is now offering two-centre holidays in Champoluc and Les Gets in France, with free transport between the two.
Champoluc is popular with Italian weekenders from Milan and Turin, but is hardly heard of on the international market. As a result, it retains a friendly, small-scale, unspoiled Italian ambience. The village is a pleasant but not notably pretty place. The three-valley network of lifts and pistes is anything but small-scale. Champoluc at one end and Alagna at the other are 17km apart and it's around a four-hour trip by road if you miss the last lift. Gressoney is in the central valley. Outside the piste network is a lot of great off-piste terrain, some lift-served, which has long attracted experts.
Champoluc is the largest of the resort villages and, although it has drawbacks, it's an attractive all-round base. The village is strung out along a one-way street running from the centre past various hotels to the gondola base station, where a cluster of shops and bars forms a kind of distinct micro-resort. About 3km up the valley, a short funicular goes up from Frachey (with parking right at the base).
Champoluc is the largest of the Monterosa villages and an attractive base © Marco Spataro
Down-valley from Champoluc are Antagnod and Brusson. Antagnod is a good alternative for bad-weather days, and has some decent off-piste.
Village charm
There is a group of bars and restaurants at the lift base but the village lacks a real focus. But we like the low-key ambience.
The village is not compact, but everything is walkable. Some hotels are a 10-minute walk from the gondola base station but some have lockers near there to leave your kit in. There are free buses to and from Frachey and Antagnod. You have to pay for the Brusson bus. And Ski 2 ferries its guests around town.
The gondola from Champoluc goes up to Crest, a mid-mountain nursery area with a further gondola followed by a slow quad chairlift going on to Colle Sarezza. This area is linked to the runs above Frachey via a steep, narrow, bumpy red run, commonly known as the Goat, because of the statue at the top; timid intermediates are better off starting at Frachey. From there, you ride lifts to Colle Bettaforca, for the descent to Gressoney.
Fast lifts
Most lifts are fast chairs and gondolas, but the link with Frachey involves slow chairs. You can avoid these by using the Frachey funicular.
Mostly blissfully queue-free. But there are two problems at Frachey. The Alpe Mandria chair above the funicular is an unavoidable bottleneck. And the old double chair that links to the home slopes of Champoluc cannot cope with afternoon demand.
Terrain parks
There isn't one.
Off-piste is the main draw. There are few tough on-piste runs. In bad weather, head for the excellent Mandria forest area above Frachey.

There is a good mix of varied pistes that suit confident intermediates. But Champoluc has drawbacks for timid intermediates – as well as the Goat run, the red descent to Champoluc (excellent if you can hack it) can be too much for many. Some people find it worth going to the separate Antagnod area.
The high nursery slopes at Crest above Champoluc, served by two moving carpets, are excellent. For longer gentle runs, though, you need to go up the valley to Frachey. Or down the valley to Antagnod.
Great off-piste for experts but not ideal for intermediates or beginners (see above). No drag lifts to worry about though.
There are 16km of trails in Champoluc; but Brusson, down-valley, has the best loops (30km).
Tour operator Ski 2 has all kinds of schemes to keep children happy. And it runs Ski 2 Racing courses for would-be Olympians).

After a state computer system upgrade, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety was supposed to have Driver and Vehicle Services up and running smoothly two weeks ago.
But many say they are still having issues.
Mike Hanson of Coon Rapids says computer problems have prevented him from getting specialty license plates for his 1964 Chevy Nova. Hanson says he tried three times last week to get the plates at license centers in Coon Rapids, Blaine and Circle Pines with no luck.
RELATED: State Computer Problem that Caused Hassle for Drivers Mostly Resolved
"I'm no I.T. guy, but I think they probably should have left the old system running in the background to circumvent some of this stuff while they waited," Hanson said. "I think it's a joke. I've been told for a week, 'tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow,' so I'm going try again tomorrow."
RELATED: DMV Services Will Be Temporarily Disrupted for Computer Update
Asked for a response, the Department of Public Safety issued a statement that read, in part:
The (new) system replaces a 30 year old antiquated mainframe computer, making it possible to more efficiently and securely process vehicle titles and tabs. The MNLARS system has been online and available for deputy registrars to process their transactions 99.93 percent of the time since the launch on July 24.
DVS has processed 287,289 registration renewals (tabs) and 71,052 title transactions through the new system. That's about 20 percent more than was averaged under the old system, demonstrating that MNLARS can handle the volume.
Even with the increased capacity we realize that some customers may have experienced issues at their locally owned and operated deputy registrar, and the Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services division (DVS) wants to hear from those people right away. Most issues can be resolved quickly if the customer reaches out to DVS or to a deputy registrar.
DVS can be reached at 651-297-2126 or via email at email@example.com

The only thing left to do is wait for the decision. Stewart said that would take 2 weeks, ie by about Monday 2008-10-20.
[rs 2008-09-01] After far too much drama, our bid was submitted. LA has promised to give feedback by the 5th (this Friday). However there are still things to do, with the deadline being the Fri 19th of September:
- Preparing the budget.
- Getting letters of support from local Open Source businesses.
- and, after those two things are done, final polishing of the bid document.
[rs 2008-08-08] Lots of things happening now - look at the RecentChanges for this wiki. I will be giving a talk at the next Humbug meeting (9 August).
[rs 2008-08-07] Just found out we now have dates for bid submission. Bottom line: Friday, 29 August.

[rs 2007-09-23] ClintonRoy and myself have put up two different bid documents 1 2 for review. There is an IRC meeting on #humbug at irc.humbug.org.au at 8:00 PM Mon, 24 September to decide.
- [rs 2007-09-23] Turns out the firm dates we had for Linux Australia were wrong. The correct bid submission deadline is Fri, 28 September.
[rs 2007-08-23] I've started work on the bid and the budget, although start is a bit of grand term at this stage.

[rs 2007-04-07] You can find the slides I gave for the talk at Humbug on my Home Page.

This means you must login to your wiki account in order to use it. To create a new account, go to the UserPreferences page.
- [rs 2007-03-05] Still working on the wiki. Its now dressed up in Humbug colours!
- [rs 2007-01-20] The wiki is up - sort of. You can use it, but it will up and down like a yo-yo as I put the infrastructure in place. Sorry. Currently I am securing it, adding Authentication, possibly moving to FGI, adding an address book, etc, etc. This will take a day or to. Expect things to be moved around until I find a layout I like.

To the Editor:
Recently, the Lewisboro Town Board unanimously agreed to implement an ordinance that stands to benefit all of their residents and the environment. The ordinance will call for tobacco-free zones in parks, playgrounds and picnic areas. I applaud the board for passing an ordinance that serves to protect the health of its residents. Lets be clear; this ordinance is not about nannying, its about health preservation.
Throughout New York State, tobacco-free outdoor areas have become a growing trend over the past two years. Over 200 localities across the state have passed regulations making outdoor recreational areas smoke-free. Local governing bodies are now acknowledging the importance and mass benefit of not only preserving the environment but also reducing exposure to secondhand smoke and reducing the risk of fires.
Clean smoke-free air is vital to improving the lung health and reducing the incidence of respiratory episodes that can be triggered by secondhand smoke. Many nonsmokers exposed to outdoor tobacco smoke suffer immediate symptoms including breathing difficulties, eye irritation, headache, nausea and asthma attacks. Secondhand smoke is a proven killer, causing as many as 53,000 deaths each year in the United States. Also, smoking near or in a playground provides a behavioral role model for young children. How many parents would tell you that they would directly encourage their children to start smoking?
Now lets switch gears and highlight how this ordinance protects the environment. Cigarettes are the most littered item in America. Every year 4.95 trillion cigarette filters are discarded globally into our environment. Many are found on sidewalks, beaches, parks and other public places and often end up in our waterways and washed back onto beaches. Cigarette filters take many years to decompose but they are not 100 percent biodegradable. As filters break down, they leach toxic chemicals into watersheds, streams, lakes and oceans, and are hazardous and highly toxic to fish, birds, other wildlife, pets and young children if they are ingested. Outdoor smoking bans help to reduce the amount of cigarette butt litter and provide a substantial cost saving through reduced cleanup costs.
As I mentioned in the beginning, this ordinance is not about nannying. It is positive step that the Town Board has taken to protect the community from secondhand smoke while simultaneously promoting positive health messages and a cleaner, safer environment.

text: By now, most providers are well aware that national privacy and security obligations exist on at least two levels. Federal statutes and regulations get the most publicity and dominate most providers' compliance programs, but state obligations often exist in addition to the more familiar federal structure of HIPAA and HITECH. Providers who do business in multiple jurisdictions must remain vigilant for changes in these state laws, which often require compliance responses unique to the state at issue, particularly in terms of timing, content and basis for notices to individuals that their personal information has been disclosed improperly. In 2012, new statutes in Texas and California will require precisely this sort of state-specific updating to existing compliance programs and procedures. The changes made in Texas are described below. An analysis of California's new law is available in "California (and Texas) Increase Privacy Requirements."

Published in the Fort Collins Coloradoan on 10/7/13
It is hard to believe that just last month, we had an unprecedented natural disaster occur in Northern Colorado. Here in Fort Collins, I see very little evidence of the widespread destruction that occurred in other parts of Larimer County. But we must remember that just a few miles down the road, many families continue to struggle with how they will recover from the devastating impact of the floods.
Just hours after the flooding began, United Way's 2-1-1 call center was activated by the Larimer County Emergency Manager to support flood rescue and recovery operations. Our 2-1-1 team assisted more than 1,200 callers from across the country to get answers they needed about evacuations, road closures, how to give help and, perhaps most importantly, how to get help in locating family members and friends who were unaccounted for.
Now, almost a month later, the unaccounted for people have been found, the emergency shelters and Emergency Operations Center are closed, and the rescue operations are complete. Yet, the crisis continues for families in Larimer County affected by the flooding.
Thousands of our Larimer County neighbors have been impacted. More than 1,200 people were evacuated from flood-stricken areas by air. Not only did they leave their homes behind but also their transportation.
Now that the immediate need for food, temporary shelter and emergency services have passed, the very hard work of recovery begins. As we know too well from the wildfires of last summer, recovery is a long process. We must ensure that our Larimer County neighbors who have been impacted by the flooding are not forgotten in the weeks and months to come. We must help these individuals and families find stable housing and access to transportation, among other ongoing needs, to help them begin to rebuild their lives.
Many have asked, "How can I help?" One way to help with the recovery is to contribute to the community's Long-Term Recovery Fund. You also can contribute to the same fund through the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado. All individual contributions to the Community Foundation are generously matched dollar-for-dollar by the Bohemian Foundation.
Volunteering your time and talents is another great way to help with the recovery. The best way to link up your skills and interest with available volunteer opportunities is to call 2-1-1, or (970) 407-7066, or to register online at HelpColoradoNow.org.
There are also thousands of volunteer opportunities as part of United Way of Larimer County's Make a Difference Day, which has more than 100 volunteer projects taking place Oct. 21-27. These projects will help more than 50 organizations who make a big impact in Larimer County year-round. To see a list of the projects and register to volunteer, click here.
We are so grateful for the outpouring of support from thousands of community volunteers and donors who have already come forward to help our neighbors during this challenging time. Together, we are showing the world that Larimer County truly knows what it means to Live United.

Combination chemotherapy of pemetrexed (PEM) plus cisplatin (CDDP) is established as a standard treatment for advanced non-squamous (Non-Sq) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PEM has radiosensitizing potential when evaluated in vitro in combination with platinum-containing compounds and radiation. Our previous phase I trial demonstrated that combination chemotherapy of PEM plus CDDP with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) at a total dose of 66Gy was well tolerated in patients with locally advanced Non-Sq NSCLC, and the response rate was 83% (The European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congress 2011, #9060). We conducted a post-hoc analysis of progression-free survival (PFS) and recurrent sites in those patients who were enrolled in the phase I trial.Methods
Patients received PEM 500mg/m2 plus CDDP 75mg/m2 on day 1 of a 21-day interval for 3 cycles and concurrent TRT of 60Gy (n = 6) or 66Gy (n = 12) followed by consolidation PEM 500mg/m2 of a 21-day interval for 3 cycles. We reviewed the medial records to collect data on progression, recurrent sites, late toxicity and survival.Results
Between November 2008 and December 2010, 20 patients were enrolled in this study, and 18 patients received the protocol treatment. No late radiation morbidity was observed. 12 patients had progressed, and recurrence included distant metastases (n = 7), local (n = 7) (in the radiation field (n = 6), out of the radiation field (n = 2), and both (n = 1)), and local plus distant sites (n = 2). Median PFS was 10.5 months (95% confidence interval: 8.7-12.3), and 2-year PFS rate was 32%. Median follow-up time for censored cases was 21.8 months (range: 17.2-35.6 months). Overall survival data will be presented.Conclusions
Median PFS in our study was comparable with that in historical controls of chemoradiotherapy.Disclosure

Table of Contents: Introduction In-built Webparts A simple "Hello World" example Extending the "Hello World" example <-- You are here. Extending the "Hello World" example even further - adding specific finders. Introducing custom actions on your entities Introducing associations between multiple entities Lists with Business data type columns Search User Profiles Other custom applications targeting a common runtime object model. Making it easier to author XML Applications: BDCMetaMan So, as I just described, BDC is a way to bring external data into MOSS. Anything that can be accessed using ADO.NET or a Web Service, can be brought into MOSS using BDC. Right after that, I demonstrated using a simple Hello World example of how I can use BDC to pull in information about a single customer instance from Northwind.Customers sitting in a SQL Server 2005/2000 database. But then, how good is this "List" that contains only one entity? Shouldn't it be a collection? In this blogpost, I am going to extend that application (i.e. mostly modifying the Xml Goo you saw in this blogpost), so it can fetch me a number of entities back. A good example would be, bring me all entities (i.e. Customers) that live in a particular City. The changes are pretty easy, Start with the XML Goo you already used here. Modify the Method "GetCustomers", change the RdbCommandText to this - SELECT CustomerID, ContactName, Address, City FROM Customers WHERE City like @City Right below that, Remove the FilterDescriptor for CustomerID, and replace it with the following FilterDescriptor <FilterDescriptors> <!-- Define the filters supported by the back-end method (or sql query) here. --> <FilterDescriptor Type="Wildcard" Name="City" > <Properties> <Property Name="UsedForDisambiguation" Type="System.Boolean">true</Property> </Properties> </FilterDescriptor> </FilterDescriptors> Change the Parameter CustomerID (direction "in") from CustomerID to City as shown below - <Parameter Direction="In" Name="@City"> <TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.String" IdentifierName="CustomerID" AssociatedFilter="City" Name="City"> <DefaultValues> <DefaultValue MethodInstanceName="CustomerFinderInstance" Type="System.String">%</DefaultValue> </DefaultValues> </TypeDescriptor> </Parameter> Yeah that's it ! :-) Now go ahead and redeploy the application to the Shared Service Provider using the following steps Go to the SSP Click n Business Data catalog//view applications --> Delete the previous application (or you could also version, but I'm gonna be lazy and consistently lazy) Click on Business data catalog//import application definition Browse to the Xml Goo as your "Application Definition File", choose to import as a "Model", and hit "Import" You should again see the "Profile Page Creation Skipped" message. (For explanation, see this blogpost) Your BDC Extended Hello World is ready to eat. You can use it in the following manner - Go to your favorite sharepoint site. Edit a page that accepts webparts. Add a webpart called "Business Data List". If you created this site using the Blank Template, you will need to first go and enable this webpart in the webpart gallery (Site Actions --> Site Settings --> WebPart gallery). When you add the WebPart, it'd look like this - Do exactly that, Click on "Open the Tool Pane" (or you can also "Modify Shared Web Part" under the Edit menu). In the tool pane, put in "Customer (NorthWindTraders)" under the "Type" text field. It's better if you use the finder button, so there are no typos. Mine looks like this - Hit "OK" at the bottom of the page, and your webpart should look like this now - Click "Exit Edit Mode", and type in a City of "London" (or whatever else you please), hit "Retreive Data" and assuming you actually followed all I wrote in this post above properly, you should see results in your BDC webpart as shown below - WOOHOO!! :-) But, whats up with the "Profile Page Creation Skipped" message? And what if I wanted to actually view details of a particular entity? Heck, how do I actually use the above data? For all of that, you need to add a "Specific Finder" method. That's comin' up next.

Senate makes progress on Grand Bargain
Senate leaders on both sides of the aisle gave dueling press conferences Wednesday after passing several bills in the Grand Bargain.
Democrats and Republicans are still disagreeing with how to move forward.
Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, said one sticking point is remaining disagreements on property tax freeze legislation.
Republicans said they need more time to negotiate the bills in the Grand Bargain and action taken Wednesday slowed down that process.
Despite that, several bills passed on the floor Wednesday, including a spending bill for 2018.
Another bill that would, in part, give legislative authority to implement several items in that spending bill failed. That same failed bill also contained many of the cuts that are needed to balance the budget.
"The issue is why did the Republicans not vote for the budget, and if it's because we didn't pass enough reforms then I need to know specifically just exactly what we didn't pass," Cullerton said.
"This wasn't a balanced budget," Sen. Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, said. "This in fact, the statement on the floor by Sen. Cullerton that we haven't voted on a balanced budget since 2002, I think, one of the statements we would rebut that is we don't think they've ever provided us with a balanced budget."
A revenue bill that is also needed to pass a balanced budget was not called for a vote Wednesday.
Votes taken on bills Wednesday untied them from one another so they can pass or be rejected individually without the whole compromise falling through.
The Grand Bargain bills that passed the Senate now head to the House. They will still need to be voted on there before making it to Gov. Bruce Rauner's desk.

by Jake Wizner published by Random House Children's Books Audiobook by Listening Library Narrated by Mike Chamberlain 6 hours 34 minutes Shakespeare Shapiro is in his senior year at Hemmingway High School. Every senior is required to take a year long writing seminar and their final project is to write their memories. Past memories have made the school famous. And thus begins the story. Shakespeare, who hates his name, takes us through his memoirs in a very humorous, burst out laughing way. After all, his family is completely dysfunctional, his best friends include Neal, who keeps a poop journal, and Katie, whose sarcasm can only be described as hostile, and an unhealthy, er normal teenage boy lustful thoughts on the female body and how to get someone to have sex with him on prom night. Did I mention his younger brother is more popular than he is and that Shakespeare has never even had a date? I've listened to and read this book before, I rarely actually read books if I don't have to, but recently I listened to it again and was reminded of how funny it is. I'll say it's not for everyone as most of the humor is juvenile male humor, but it is clean without the proliferation of sex, profanity, and gratuitous violence that often litters young adult books. The writing is great, Jake hits every funny bone in my body and he does so without being vulgar. As for the narration, Mike Chamberlain brings Shakespeare to life with a spot on voice that just seems to run rampant. I Love Mike's voice in this. Would I recommend Spanking Shakespheare? Yes, as would my brother who borrow my copy and when I played the audio version on our recent vacation, was busting a gut. Even my sister who prefers the likes of Dean Kuntz, truly enjoyed the humor. Is there anything I disliked about the book? Maybe that it ended too soon, but not really, any longer would have gone overboard. I

The Transformative Power of Relationships
As she clicked together those sparkly red shoes, Dorothy said, "There's no place like home." No one can attest to that better than the women who live at Abby's House. The women who arrive at our door have often experienced a disruptive episode that has resulted in displacement from their housing – domestic violence or other unsafe living conditions, loss of a job or reduction in work hours, divorce, foreclosure (theirs or their landlord's), mental health and/or substance abuse issues, or because they simply have nowhere to go.
Every woman that walks through the door at Abby's House needs
a place to call home and wants to make a fresh start.
On average, we receive 15-20 calls a day from women who need our help. In the past three years, the average length of stay at our shelter has increased from 11 to 27 to 33 nights. The waiting list for our 78 units of housing is now 3-6 months long; at other housing agencies, it's even longer. The Worcester Housing Authority needs an additional 12,000 units of housing in order to house everyone on their waiting list. The WHA waiting list is eight years long. At present, there are not enough units of affordable housing to meet the increasing need.
Homelessness isn't just about not having a roof over one's head – it impacts an individual's social, emotional, medical, developmental, educational and occupational status, as well. Homeless women and children demonstrate higher rates of mental health issues and problem behaviors, have poorer developmental and health outcomes, and over the long run, suffer from a lack of educational, vocational and economic success, which places these women and their children at continued risk for homelessness.
At Abby's House, we strive to end the cycle by providing women with a place to live, and by assigning each woman an Advocate who helps her craft an Individualized Service Plan designed to help her regain her footing on the path to independence. The Plan is unique for each woman, because each woman is at a different point in her journey. From there opportunities begin to unfold, which include anything from discovering interests or talents they never knew they had, finding a volunteer or paid position, or reconnecting with their friends and/or family. Confidence slowly begins to return to these women, who have lost it somewhere along the way.
Our goal is to empower each resident to take control of her own life and take the next step, whatever that may be. We recognize that each woman has the strength within to make the right choices for herself. We are here to advise, advocate, inform, encourage and support them; in short, to accompany them on their journey.
The most transformational and unique aspect of the way Abby's House operates lies in this idea of accompaniment. Each woman who stays at Abby's House feels a sense of support and community, with staff and the other women. We share community space, eat lunch together, and leave our office doors open. Residents know that we are here for them, no matter what. "Michelle", one of our residents, said, "In other living situations, I would get harassed. Here, I have support to reach my goals. The connection with other women is empowering."
Empowering each woman to reach her own potential requires time, patience, acceptance and love. Adopting this approach has allowed us to help transform the lives of more than 11,500 women and children. For the women who stay with us, Abby's House is an oasis in a desert, a place where they can reclaim and rebuild their lives, at their own pace and on their own terms, in relationship with other women. Ultimately, it's the combination of having a safe space in which to live and being in community with other women that allows them to transform their lives. The strength of these connections remains, even after the women move on. As many of them will tell you, "Once an Abby's girl, always an Abby's girl."

The leader who meets President Obama first will be seen as being favoured by him and could benefit from an "Obama bounce" at home.
Aides of the "big three" European leaders – UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy – have been lobbying for months to get into poll position.
However, bookmakers made Hamid Karzai, the President of Afghanistan, favourite to be the first world leader to meet Mr Obama.
Downing Street indicated that Mr Brown may not be first because Mr Obama is due in Britain for a meeting of the G20 on April 2, making an earlier meeting unlikely.
A spokesman said: "We wouldn't attach too much importance to who has what meetings when. The important thing is whether or not you share the same values and have similar approaches and are able to work together on challenges."
He was "not sure" whether Mr Brown was watching Mr Obama's full inauguration speech live on television.
The spokesman said: "He is very focused on doing his job as British Prime Minister."
Tony Blair was the first European leader to visit Mr Obama's predecessor George W Bush in the US following his 2001 inauguration.
However, France's Jacques Chirac was first to meet Mr Bush when he was sworn in for the second time in 2005.
Mr Brown is writing a letter to Mr Obama assuring him that Britain "stands ready to work very closely" with his administration.
Welcoming the new president to office Mr Sarkozy said: "We are eager for him to get to work so that with him we can change the world."
Ms Merkel wished President Obama "the best of luck" but gave the latest in a series of warnings to the new US president, this time about sending more troops to Afghanistan and dealing with Iran.
Pope Benedict XVI called on Mr Obama to "promote understanding, co-operation and peace" among nations.
But Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin countered the optimistic voices.
He said: "I am deeply convinced that the biggest disappointments are born out of big expectations."

CNP Expo: CNP Fraud, Can We Stem the Tide?
May 20, 2014
Tuesday's educational program kicked off with Aaron Press, director of E-Commerce Payments for LexisNexis Risk Solutions, observing that the question of how to stop fraud never goes away. But more e-commerce merchants are now asking, how do we stop fraud AND approve more orders?
Julie Fergerson, senior vice president of Industry Solutions at Ethoca, noted that "we've been so focused on fraud for so long, and one reason our prevention numbers are up is that we are used to turning down good sales, but we aren't taking the cost of losing good customers into account when we calculate those fraud prevention numbers." Harold Paulson, director of Risk Management at eBay Enterprise, agreed: "We could stop all fraud if we wanted to, but we would have no sales. This is really about customer experience. How do I have a successful fraud strategy in place that my customers are completely unaware of?"
Eido Gal, founder of Riskified, said his company has seen a trend this year in its clients looking to optimize their current fraud-prevention teams and techniques rather than expanding their teams and implementing new strategies. Gal and Ferguson agreed that one good way to optimize your manual review team is to measure not only how many fraudulent transactions they allow, but how many transactions they prevent from going through. Anyone can turn down every transaction to prevent fraud; the best reviewers do that and also allow the most legitimate sales.
The panel touched on several recent trends in fraud over the past year, including ship-to-store and mobile scams. Paulson pointed out that customers expect companies to have certain controls in place, such as asking for ID, in ship-to-store transactions, so he recommended stores follow through on those controls. Gal noted that mobile fraud is still young, since mobile itself hasn't really taken off yet. But as it becomes more popular, all three panelists agreed merchants will need to be creative in using other data on a phone that can authenticate a customer, such as confirmation texts and emails.

RR Botany Department History

Jump to main content
December 2017
The Botany Department is hosting visitors from Brazil and China. Ricardo Pacifico, a graduate student from Brazil, and Dr. Wenzhang Ma (Dennis), a visiting researcher from China, are currently spending time at the California Academy of Sciences.
Ricardo (left) is spending six months at CAS working on the Molecular phylogeny of the Microlicieae (Melastomataceae), an assemblage of species largely restricted to the cerrado biome of Brazil. The Microlicieae is monophyletic but the circumscription of several of the genera have been problematic. In the course of his work he is trying to determine monophyly of several of the seven genera currently assigned to the tribe. Ricardo has also been working with Curator Emeritus Frank Almeda on the identification of Microlicieae made during several CAS sponsored expeditions to Brazil during the last decade and a half. Hundreds of collections of Melastomataceae made on these expeditions are now identified and available on the CAS Botany website.
Dennis (right) is visiting from the herbarium in Kunming Institute of Botany (KUN), Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. His main research foci include taxonomy, ecology and systematics of mosses from southeast Asia.
Funding for Dennis's several visits to CAS from 2013 to 2017 has been provided by various sources, including the Lakeside Foundation, the CAS Bryophyte Expedition Fund, the CAS China Heritage Fund, and the Overseas Study Program, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Dennis is working on the bryophyte collections in the herbarium of the California Academy of Sciences, and he is preparing manuscripts for publication with a special focus on mosses that grow in alpine and rheophytic habitats.

Kasey Tyndall's sweet southern charm is often rudely interrupted by an impressive collection of rock 'n' roll t-shirts. AC/DC, Ramones and Guns 'n Roses — crop tops preferably.
"You can help me Mr. Dave, I have so many," she says looking with wide, innocent eyes toward her manager when pressed to quantify her collection. "Stryper. I just went on tour with them, that was awesome. I wear my Stryper shirt a lot. Some of my other favorite shirts are Bon Jovi, Loverboy, Lucinda Williams, Jason Isbell … "
Yes, she calls her manager Mr. Dave and her agent Mr. Jay – that's kind of her thing, recognizable by anyone raised in the south. But she says their name with respect and reverence instead of the sass and flare one would expect from a girl who prefers leather and denim over dresses and heels, just like she prefers a rowdy crowd dancing on a bar top over a seated one golf-clapping after each song.
Don't be totally fooled — Tyndall isn't a rocker hiding in a cowgirl town. Her Eastern North Carolina accent and penchant for aching love songs gives her away as a grounded country thoroughbred. Tyndall's debut single, "Everything is Texas" saw great success on the Wild Country Spotify playlist and the video hit Top 10 on CMT's 12 Pack Countdown.
Tyndall's second release is "Bar That's Open", a song she co-wrote with Ashley McBryde and Lainey Wilson. "For as long as people have been breaking hearts or getting their hearts broken, there's a bar, that bar's regulars, and its staff to help. We all have that bar in our life – no matter what we're going through, we're somehow family when we come together there." says Tyndall about her latest single.
Tyndall's journey to Nashville was accelerated in 2014 when she won a radio station contest to sing "We Were Us" with Keith Urban. Opportunities came quickly after that late summer performance, including signing with WME's Jay Williams for booking (Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Dierks Bentley). The then college student was greener than new money when she moved to Music City — during her first co-write she had no idea she was working with Doug Johnson (Randy Travis, Lee Brice, Rascal Flatts) until he stepped away and the other writer in the room, Nick Autry, said, "Do you know who that is?"
"Anyone that big … I get super nervous," Tyndall says, the anxiety flushing her face even as she thinks about writing with some of the veterans and legends she's sat down with. She's had opportunity to be nervous a lot lately. Neil Mason from The Cadillac Three, Driver Williams from Eric Church's band and Tommy Cecil are a few of the seasoned writers she's worked with. A publishing deal with Sony ATV promises to bring more top-end talent to her door. After working with her, Cecil (Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, North Carolina's Parmalee) agreed to produce her album, out November 2017.
Between songs and offstage, Tyndall couldn't be more approachable. She's quiet, but increasingly confident about who she is, and who she ain't. "I wasn't the prettiest or most popular or anywhere remotely close to that," she says recalling high school. Her multiplying fan base appreciates this and her rock anthems have become their anthem.
"You get on social media and you see society saying 'That's what you should look like.' I instead wanna be a voice of 'Hey it's totally OK who you are, just like you are.'We need a little more love these days and a little less judgement."
As Tyndall explains,"I love to sing and perform and I'm thankful for anyone who wants to listen. It's almost like my fans and I have this team. It's kinda the 'Be who you are' team. And I'm blessed to have the best team in the world."
Tyndall has done over 100 tour dates in 2017 with the likes of Parmalee, Kane Brown, Granger Smith, Casey Donahew, Wheeler Walker Jr. and The Cadillac Three… and there appears to be no slowing down. In November 2017 she hits the road as direct support for Parmalee on their Hotdamalama Tour.
