A revenue bond sale, completed this week, will fund various state capital projects, including public school facilities, University of Hawaii projects and other capital projects statewide.
The general obligation bond sale will fund capital improvement projects that will bolster Hawaii's infrastructure and create jobs in the construction and related industries.
The $725.3 million bond sale included $500 million of new money proceeds to fund new capital improvement projects and $225.3 million of refunding bonds to refinance outstanding debt.
The refinancing of existing debt resulted in a reduction in debt service of approximately $100 million per year in fiscal years 2010 and 2011.
Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's Ratings Service and Fitch Ratings affirmed the State's bond ratings of Aa2, AA and AA, respectively.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Service cited, as one of the State's credit strengths, "management's well-established, proactive budget monitoring practices, including frequent revenue forecast updates from the Council on Revenues, which facilitates prompt identification of potential budget adjustments."
"The current economic climate posed significant challenges to the state in issuing these bonds. However, we were able to maintain our high credit ratings and our bonds were well-received by the bond market," Gov. Linda Lingle said of the bond sale, which was completed with an average interest rate of 4.12 percent.
"Attracting this new capital is integral to our plan to create new jobs in the construction and related industries," she added.
The municipal bond market has stabilized since the market disruption in September 2008. The state's sale was well received by a variety of investors, with significant demand from retail investors.
The sale received approximately $200 million in retail orders, many of which were from Hawaii residents.
"The new money portion of the sale was increased in size to $500 million from the $400 million originally planned due to strong investor response and demand for the bonds," said Georgina Kawamura, state director of finance. "The ability to sell the increased amount of bonds provided the state with an excellent opportunity to borrow additional funds at favorable interest rates."
The bonds were sold by a financing team with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., serving as senior manager and Merrill Lynch serving as co-manager.

Wind farm monopoly called into question
MP Bill Justinussen has presented the Minister of Agriculture, Høgni Hoydal, with a formal enquiry regarding the planned wind farm in Hoyvík.
The MP wants to know the authoritative basis of granting tenant farmer Sigert Patursson exclusive rights to set up a wind farm in the area and to make a deal with private sustainable energy provider sp/f Vindrøkt which denies other bidders access to the public land.
He also wants to know if any other tenant farmers are given such preferential treatment with regards to private use of public land.
Licence approved in 2003
Patursson was authorised to set up windmills in the area as early as in 2003, after which he teamed up with sp/f Vindrøkt to develop the wind farm plan.
>> SEE ALSO Cable solution "crucial" for Suðuroy's green plan
Although the Environment Agency has invited tenders from other potential bidders, they have no access to the land, according to the MP.
He is keen to know if the law on electricity supply authorises this kind of private deal on public land, which denies other bidders, such as public energy provider SEV, access to the land.

Anna Ryder Richardson is one of the UK's best-loved interior designers after becoming a household name during her time on Changing Rooms for more than 10 years.
She has also appeared on House Invaders and My Life For Sale. But Anna took a break from makeover shows for almost a decade, had two children, Bibi and Dixie, and bought a wildlife park in Wales.
Anna is now back on the small screen in a brand new series of Peter Andre's 60 Minute Makeover.
Speaking to HouseBeautiful.co.uk, the interior designer tells us all about the new show, what makes a happy home and working with Peter Andre…
Can you tell us about the new series of 60 Minute Makeover?
Well, it's very exciting! Instead of the makeover being done in 60 minutes – which was an amazing feat and I don't think I would have been able to do that without having a breakdown – now the programme is an hour but we take one day to do the makeover.
It's a very long day because it's not just a lick of paint or reshuffle of furniture. We do it all – floors, walls, furniture and furnishings. I don't know how we do it if I'm being honest. It's a bit like childbirth – I must have forgotten and now I'm recalling it all.
What do you think makes 60 Minute Makeover stand out from other home improvement shows?
The most amazing thing about this show is the people, who are just extraordinary. That's why we carried on going and pushed ourselves to the absolute end because they so deserve it.
I've been around for a million years, made over a lot of houses and met some incredible people. But these people and their stories – I don't think I'll be able to watch without having a few tears in my eyes. They are amazing and deserve it so much.
Does this series have plenty of emotional reactions to the house transformations?
My first show was with a lovely man called Andy, who spent most of his life serving in the forces, and has seen some things that no human should ever have to see. He had been retired from the army for medical reasons but he continued to volunteer and help with younger recruits. He is the most selfless person in the world, always putting himself last.
But the makeover for him was a complete and utter surprise. When people watch the show, and see him come back to the house, it will touch their hearts. I've got goose pimples just thinking about it.
I've never worked on a show where the people were more deserving. And you go away thinking 'I'm a moany old cow and I have nothing to complain about'. It's so uplifting and quite a journey. It's very much about the personal story, and the makeover is almost secondary.
Which house in the series do you think had the best makeover and why?
There was one I did where the woman wasn't afraid of colour, which is very rare. She wasn't afraid of being a bit out there, which for a designer gives you a licence to thrill.
In her house, on one wall, we put up wallpaper with a cream background and huge golden swirls. The other wall had fitted wardrobes with smoky glass sliding doors, and the other had a deep purple textured wallpaper. The bed was dark wood with all different sorts of fabrics on and we included a big brass side table. It sounds horrendous but it really worked.
She and everybody absolutely loved it – the crew, the family, everyone. Not everybody's taste is the same, which is what makes the world go round, but they all loved it.
What was it like to work with Peter Andre?
Peter is a delight! He is so lovely on the television and you think no one can be that nice – but he actually is. I can honestly say he's one of the nicest people that I've ever met. He's really down-to-earth, despite the fact his fans were following him everywhere. Crowds started forming at each house we went to and people stand there all day behind these barriers. He was so charming about it and he's just a regular guy.
What were the biggest challenges you faced in achieving the looks you were going for on the show?
We were still working until midnight on some of the days while we completed the jobs, propping our eyes open with matchsticks. I don't know how we did it. I've sort of been semi-retired from makeover for a decade, while I bought a wildlife park. And now I've somehow been convinced to come back. With an amazing team of people you pull it out the bag. You meet some amazing people, so it's all worth it.
What are your best time-efficient decorating tips?
The biggest thing, which makes us feel mentally and physically better is when you declutter. I had to declutter recently and the rubbish I had stuffed in cupboards and drawers – I had cupboards full, and had to shove it really hard to shut the door.
I am very sorry to admit I had gone that far. There were a lot of trips to the recycling centre, which is now one of my favourite places to go. It's so satisfactory, getting rid of bags of clutter you've been hoarding, and getting rid of it sensibly gives you a great feeling.
Also it's good to shuffle furniture around. Apparently, I've been doing that since I was about five years old - I used to be very hyper. It makes you feel like you've got a new room.
Then just buying a couple of new accessories. We all love a new cushion or a couple of candles. Maybe take something you've had hidden away and swap things around.
So to sum up – declutter, move the furniture around and pop a couple of accessories in.
Can you tell us about the interiors in your own home?
I've been through so many style periods in my own life. Before children and the wildlife park, I chose to live in London in a spaceship of sorts. Everything was formed plastic or glass, all white, occasionally I'd have soft ice cream pink float in. But I used to get quite twitchy if people would come in wearing all black. They just looked wrong in there as everything was immaculate.
But now I couldn't be more different – I live in a Welsh farmhouse. My kids don't understand the look and they say: 'Mum, you live in a smelly old woman's house'. The look I was going for was French farmhouse but I was guilty of using vintage fabrics that I got on eBay. I happen to really love that but it is really eclectic. And my girls didn't like it.
After constant moaning from them, I may have become more coordinated. So now there's a sliver of Kelly Hoppen in there. It's definitely not Kim Kardashian, but Hoppen with the earthiness of a French farmhouse.
I do have a Lady Penelope dressing table from Thunderbirds, and I do slip in 50s and 60s style now and again.
In your opinion, what makes a happy home?
Comfort makes a happy home. It's all very well looking designer from floor to ceiling but if it doesn't feel comfortable, and you don't feel like you can actually live in it, that's really not going to work. Because we've all been going through hard times, we want to love our homes and live in our homes.
I think people are much braver now to follow their own style. If you want to live in a purple room with a mirror on the ceiling and leopard print carpet then so be it if it makes you smile.
Anna is in a brand new series of Peter Andre's 60 Minute Makeover, weeknights at 7pm from Monday 5th February on Quest Red.

There are many definitions of freedom. Having the right to vote, practice religion, e.t.c… Perhaps just as important but seldom spoke of is not caring what other people think about you. We can't control what other people do, say, and think, so why let it cause frustration and anxiety. Why let ego create drama and turmoil in our minds and relationships, when we can just accept people are free to think what they will. We don't have to like it, but in order to live with love, peace, and happiness rather than anger, frustrations, and resentment we need to accept it.
Many people carry around emotional baggage that contains pain, resentment, and anger. This keeps them living in shadows of the past. What would happen if people learned and practiced forgiveness and love? I believe rays of light would illuminate their lives and remove the darkness.
Are you stuck in relationship or job thats join nowhere? Why do you stay? Is it because the evil you know is better than the evil you don't? Or is it that your afraid of rejection or that you won't find something better? Sometimes a low self esteem is what blocks us. Somehow we feel that were no worthy of a better relationship or job. Other times it's that you've been in it for so long you are comfortable even though not 100% content. Whatever the reason, what is holding you back is you. You need to change that in order to succeed & thrive.
Yes, this seems easier said than done. However once you make a decision and are committed to it, change can be empowering and make you feel good. After all your taking action to improve your situation. Where energy flows, results often show. So embrace the changes that you know need to be made to enable you to live the life you desire. The process takes time and energy but it does work and you can create the life of your dreams. Some the things you will go through will not be fun. However they will pass and in the end you remain.
This turtle image was provided by Douglas Hoffman.
Life contains periods of light and darkness. Mixed in among them are the shadows. Photographers and artists love the shadows as it is the shadows that create contrast, dimension, depth, feeling, and emotion in paintings and photographs. They are key elements to effective story telling.
Shadows have another meaning when thinking about the ego, human behavior, and emotions. In this sense there are feelings, and emotions stored inside, that may affect how you deal with and respond to what is happening in your current life experience. These are hidden emotions which can be the catalyst that promote self doubt, lack of confidence, anger, resentment, poor decision making, e.t.c.. The good news is that if we are aware and living in the moment, shadows serve to help us recognize our emotions stirring.
Recognizing these feelings as they are happening provides us the opportunity to deal with our issues in a positive manner serving the needs of everyone involved. The alternative is to let the emotions inside awaken the ego and allow it to take control. When this happens things are often said and done in reaction without having taken a moment to think things through.
Sometimes a situation presents itself where you have to make a choice. You can let something go and be happy. Or you can be right and end up being unhappy. This is true for relationships, business, raising children, and how you think. In this last example, I am referring to self esteem, state of mind, and positive thinking.
If you think your going to fail at something, you are programming your self not to succeed. If you think think your not worthy of getting a promotion, you will probably wont. At the same time if you think you can achieve your goals you will. How you feel about yourself will set off a chain of events that will follow your mindset and inner beliefs. How you perceive yourself affects the outcome of all your endeavors. So you can set yourself up to succeed or fail. The choice is yours.
If you think your not worthy of having a relationship, guess what your relationship will crumble. So in a sense you will be right, but will you be happy. What I am suggesting is that it is better to be happy than to be right. Everyone is worthy of having a relationship, of getting the promotion. But it requires belief in yourself and having self esteem.
If you lack self esteem rather than look back at what you have done wrong or failed to do. Look back at all the things you have succeeded at and draw from that. It could be as simple as winning a chess game, or having had one incredible sale at work, or the time you dated someone special.
Another example is how you relate to people that have done you wrong. As an example, when I was detained in in a third world country, a man kept stealing from me. I knew he did it, in fact he even admitted doing it, all the while with a big grin on his face. He had no respect for me. I had the choice. I could be right and tell on him or get in his face or even resort to violence, but what would that accomplish. I would be right but would I be happy. Violence is never a good option and more harm comes from it. If I went to the authorities, I would be right but what of the ramifications that would certainly come back to me. I am not saying that it is better to just let others walk over you. In this situation I felt it best to just let it go and surrender to what is. The result is that my anger went away and I was happy. I knew that my time in that place would come to an end and these problems were not life threatening. And, I remembered the saying that this too shall pass. I also realized that I could not change this persons behavior, nor did I want to try. We each have to follow our own paths and in this case I chose the way of less resistance and hostility. I am happy that the problems did not get out of hand.
I am sure those of you reading this have had situations arise that that you had to make a choice to be right or to be happy. IF your willing to share your experience, I would love to read about it.
I am in process of divorce, and was married for over 18 years. I really thought I knew my wife but it turns out I did not know who she really was until now. Over the last few years we had problems communicating, in that we did not really talk about us, or the problems that existed under the surface. I will not bash my spouse by saying bad things, but I will say this. I never knew who she really was until we separated. The things she has done have shocked me to the core. It has made me realize the truth in the old saying that hell have no fury like that of a woman scorned. I feel as if my heart as been in a blender and shredded.
My sister and I are very close and she said to me recently you never really know a person until you get divorced and for a woman who has never married, she sure got that right. That said I wish she was wrong. Seeing the side of my wife that was foreign to me did not bring any peace or happiness to either of us, just anxiety and turmoil. I do not mean to infer I was blameless in our marriage. I take responsibility for the fact I was not perfect, did not listen well enough, tolerated the lack of communication, and settled instead of trying to improve the situation. I admit I had fears of being alone and did not want to raise our kids in a divorced family. Now I know better. I am dealing with being on my own, and it does not scare me. I will always love my kids, and do all I can to spend time with them, and support them. While growing up in a broken home will be hard, I will make sure they know they are loved. I will not talk stink about their mother, and even though we have our issues, I will show my support for her as much as possible. Even though we are almost divorced I wish her every success.
My advice for people having problems in their marriage is this. Learn to surrender and forgive as it erases old buried pain and anger that has been growing beneath the surface. Let it go as much as you can and concentrate on the life in front of you and not what has already transpired. The past is over. To live in the past is to live in pain. If you have kids. Leave them out of it. Both parents should avoid saying bad things about the other to the kids, even if they are true, as it will have long term affects on the kids and your relationships with them. Leave out guilt, Don't try to get even. Rise above the hate and anger, and concentrate on making the now better, to ensure a good future.
When you live in the present moment you are acknowledging what is, rather than what was or will be. Being present is the only way to control your feelings and emotions. When you do this your ego disappears. When you start dwelling on your past and future issues or problems your ego is awakened and acts with vigor to rule your actions and behavior. This can and does have negative repercussions. So live in the moment and control your happiness.
I have been away from my kids for over 9 months and wanted them to know what is in my heart, so I sent them this letter today. They are 4 and 9 years old. I love them so.
Dear Hana and Aya,
I wanted to let you know some things about love and life
Love – For me this means the way I feel about the two of you. It's the feeling in my heart and soul that says you are the most important things in my life. It is you and Aya that give my life meaning, joy, happiness, peace, fun, commitment, respect, understanding, compassion, trust, forgiveness, and so much more. It is if you are the beautiful light that lives within a rainbow or, like you are the stars that light up the night sky. When I look at your photographs or simply think about you girls, I feel such pride, and joy that it could fill the ocean.
Like – I like ice cream, Mexican food, daddy nachos, walking in nature, looking at beautiful sunsets, pretty landscapes, cold drinks on a hot day, fresh garden salads, and watching good movies.
There is a difference between like and love. I cannot live without love but I can live without like. Of course I do not want to live without the things I like, but the truth is I can't enjoy life without you two girls. The feeling of love for you both is so strong and big that it makes wonderful things like ice cream and Mexican food not as important. I hope this makes sense to you. Your mom feels the same way as she loves you girls so very much. That is what parents do. They love their children.
Sometimes however the love parents have for each other changes. Sometimes they fall out of love. Other times the love changes and becomes something new. This is what has happened between your mom and me. Our love has changed. Your mother wants to change our relationship to be true to her inner feelings.
I respect your mom and truly want her to make her life all that she desires, even if it means we are no longer man and wife. I will always love your mom and am proud of her. I believe with all my heart we will be friends, and as such will work together to raise you girls will love. Just because the love your mom and I have changes, does not mean the love each of has for you will change. It will not. We will both continue to love you girls will all our hearts. That I can promise.
This time that I have been away has been hard for you. It has been hard on your mom and myself. But this period will end and soon I will be home. I cant wait. I am so excited to see you girls. There are so many things I want to do with you guys but most of all I just want to be with you. I am very proud of you.
I have changed a lot since I have been gone. Just like you have grown so have I. Your minds have developed and you have gotten taller. I on the other hand have grown on the inside in my heart. I think of what I have been through as a great change and rebirth just like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. A caterpillar starts as an insect that crawls. Then nature tells it that it's time to go into a cacoon and it changes completely. After a time the butterfly comes out of the shell and flaps its wings and takes flight. It is more beautiful than it was before.
While I am not an insect, I have gone through great changes inside, and once free of this place I will flap my new wings and come home a new and better daddy. Some of things that you did not like about me are gone. I am no longer a person that gets angry easily. I have learned patience, forgiveness, understanding, and the true meaning of love. I have thought about you girls, a well as your mom, and my family. I am at peace and living with love in my heart. The problems that were once here have gone.
I cant wait to show you the new me. But you will have to look carefully because unlike the butterfly I did not change how I look on the outside, just how I think and feel on the inside.
All my love daddy
There are people that are frustrated, discourteous, rude, selfish, full of hate, and anger. When these people come into my proximity, I used to pick up on their feelings and soon I felt them too. I did not like the way I felt and decided to manage my feelings. I realized I could not be responsible for other peoples behavior but I could manage mine.
So I decided that when someone acted in a way that affected my happiness I would change the way I see them as well as hear them. I envisioned their heads changing shapes into a watermelon, raisin, and even a rat. I changed their voice to into a cartoon character. Depending on the person I chose the voice of the teacher from the old Charlie Brown cartoon, or the voice of the dog in the Scooby Doo cartoon. As a result nothing these people say bothers me, and I just smile. My happiness remains, and that helps me live with love and peace.
So I invite you to try this idea, and think of things that make you smile. It just might help you manage your anger too.
I am so thankful and grateful that so many people are reading and liking my blog entries. I started writing to be of service and to inspire people to live with love and peace. For me it is a way to as the saying goes, "pay it forward". I have written about 50 posts and have received positive feedback from many people. Writing has become part of my routine and I enjoy thinking of ways to share what I have learned that have had a positive impact on the quality of my life and those that I am in contact with. I have learned that the more you give the more you receive.
May you all live with love and peace.

Making it an easier and more pleasurable walk between the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) Strait Area Campus and all the shops and amenities on Reeves Street, was the focus of a Sept. 24 announcement at the Port Hawkesbury Civic Centre.
Nova Scotia Energy and Mines Minister Derek Mombourquette made the announcement that the government has invested $100,000 into a 1.6 kilometer off-road connector trail from the campus to Pitt Street.
"The investment will cover phase one of the town's Destination Reeves Street project, a three-year project that will also include a network of interconnecting bicycle systems, streetscape improvements and improved access between Reeves Street and the commercial district," a release to accompany the announcement read.
The funding is through the provincial government's Connect2 stream of the Low Carbon Communities program.
"There has been a great committee who has been working on this for a long time; they have been back-and-forth with our staff," Mombourquette said of the project, in talking to reporters after the announcement.
"This is something I've been brought into the last few months. There are similar projects happening around the Island right now; Cape Breton University is another example of something similar. I think this is wonderful," added the MLA for Sydney-Whitney Pier.
He talked about the trail being more accessible and safer for students and staff as opposed to former long and hilly route, and in quoting others who spoke during the announcement, noted it's not only likely to be used as a means to getting from one place to the other, but just as a path to go for a nice walk and get some fresh air, for both students and staff.
"It's part of active living while reducing the carbon footprint, we want to promote," he said.
"These projects have been very successful in other communities so, to me, this is a fantastic project. It's transforming the community so, of course, we want to support it."
Looking at the bigger Destination Reeves Street Project overall, Mombourquette said while it's still in the early phase, he is already seeing more pedestrian traffic around the street.
"I come through here almost weekly; you see the development, the work that is going on and it's fantastic," Mombourquette said.
"It looks busier as you come through and, once this is all complete and people really catch-on to what we're doing, I think you're going to see the entire community using it. As the mayor said, you're impacting 3,500 residents in the community, so these projects are very important for community building."
Port Hawkesbury Mayor Brenda Chisholm-Beaton talked more about the 'community building' aspect of the project.
"When you look at growing a community, part of that puzzle piece is how do you create a community that is more walkable, more accessible, and this is part and parcel of that initiative - that vision for the Town of Port Hawkesbury," she said.
"We do want to be more walkable, user-friendly, accessible, and we want a safer street. For many, many decades, Reeves Street was a through-way, and part of this project is creating Reeves Street as a destination."

Project gets green light in Port Hawkesbury
Chisholm-Beaton talked about Reeves Street as a Complete Street Project – a first for Nova Scotia.
"Complete Street Project challenges you to think about why we build streets, to think of streets differently," she said.
"Traditionally, streets are built for vehicles, but the Complete Street Project begs you to think about that in terms of people; so it's people-centered development. So we're revitalizing Reeves Street for people, in all the ways they move.
"So when you talk about who are the beneficiaries of Reeves Street, they are so many. It's more than just the people behind the wheel; we have walkers, bikers, citizen in wheel chairs who have mobility challenges … Reeves Street really is for everyone.
"That's why this project is particularly exciting, because it's the first Complete Street Project for the Town of Port Hawkesbury most definitely, and for the Province of Nova Scotia. We're hoping to lead the charge, punch above our weight class and serve as an example across the province on how you can take your main street and revitalize it in a way that creates a more welcoming space for everyone."

Changing your major to EnviSci, or adding an EnviSci Minor ? More details below:
- About the EnviSci major | The Minor | The Field, and Careers in this area.
- Research Opportunities | Useful Forms for current students
The Field
Environmental Science employs an interdisciplinary approach, teaching students how to meet the challenges of creating a safe and healthy environment and how to recognize and control the effects of pollution and environmental stress on ecosystems. Faculty and students seek practical solutions to complex environmental problems by crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries. Students learn how to integrate and apply knowledge from the appropriate areas of basic science, economics, and policy to address problems caused by ecosystem degradation and from physical alteration of the environment and chemical contaminants from industrial activities, agriculture, food production, and inadequate resource management.
UMass Amherst's Environmental Science Program is an interdisciplinary academic program which is co-administered by the Department of Environmental Conservation, the Department of Geosciences, and the Stockbridge School of Agriculture; and this unique association allows us to provide students with faculty expertise in biological/ecological and geophysical sciences. Affiliated faculty teach a series of courses with the ENVIRSCI designation as well as disciplinary courses in their department that apply to the Environmental Science major. The curriculum includes innovative course offerings that extend the traditional classroom experience to outreach activities including environmental applications and problem solving in off-campus community settings. Specialty courses expose students to a blend of academic and practical knowledge that includes environmental site assessment (ASTM-EPA procedures), hazardous waste operations and emergency response (OSHA Certification), environmental applications of GIS technologies, and novel approaches to recycling waste materials. Environmental Science majors are prepared for immediate employment upon graduation or have the option of embarking on graduate studies in conservation biology, hydrogeology, environmental soil science, wetland science, environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology, environmental policy, and law.
The B.S. degree in Environmental Science leads to a variety of career opportunities in private industry and consulting firms, non-governmental organizations, and governmental agencies concerned with environmental quality assessment, community environment programs, and interagency coordination in environmental quality maintenance. Many majors will continue studies at the graduate level in such diverse fields as environmental microbiology, hydrogeology, watershed management, soil science, ecotoxicology, environmental science education, environmental engineering, and environmental law.

For Current Students – Career Opportunities
The Major
All majors take required courses which provide a background in natural sciences, mathematics, and environmental studies. First-year students attend a required seminar to discuss critical environmental issues with faculty and outside speakers. A core curriculum of four courses, a Junior Year Writing course, and an Integrative Experience are also required for all majors. These core requirements provide a solid foundation in the social and scientific aspects of environmental problems. Students learn how to apply scientific data to solve complex environmental problems and to establish coherent environmental policy options to protect and sustain the environment. A diverse selection of upper-level courses allows students to work with their faculty advisor to design a unique curriculum tailored to their individual interests and needs. A required second-year seminar guides students towards developing a specific disciplinary focus within the major and constructing a personalized curriculum plan for their remaining undergraduate studies.
Environmental Science Program mission, goals, and objectives:
When students graduate from UMass Amherst with a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science, they will be able to:
- Use their working knowledge of core scientific disciplines and apply them to natural systems and environmental problems.
- Understand the complex interactions that define ecosystems and will be able to employ a systems approach to analyze how human and ecological systems interact to influence processes in air, on land, and in water.
- Characterize environmental systems and apply scientific and mathematical concepts to field and laboratory data to critically evaluate increasingly complex environmental issues at local, regional and global scales.
- Apply an interdisciplinary approach to the technical assessment and analysis of global environmental challenges, and understand the socio-economic challenges that must be overcome to develop effective policy options to meet those challenges.
- Critically evaluate strategies for sustainable management of environmental systems and for the remediation or restoration of degraded environments and human health protection.
- Communicate a scientific understanding of environmental issues and develop sound arguments in writing and oral/visual presentation on technical and non-technical levels.
- Demonstrate deeper understanding of the concepts, processes, problems and solutions of their chosen focus area within the program.

I am ashamed I haven't read this book sooner; it was so good that I have been on a book hangover ever since I finished it. The Da Vinci Code follows Robert Langdon, a professor of symbology from America who was giving a lecture in Paris and that evening is contacted by a detective to help solve a mysterious murder. The victim is the curator of the Louvre museum, and his body is aligned in an odd way with a code above his head. Robert Langdon has to work out this mystery before he is placed behind bars for the murder. It isn't long before he has enlisted the help of Sophie Neveu, the late curator's grand-daughter and a search across churches, monuments and three countries entails.
This is a fast-paced, exciting read, a real page-turner and a book like nothing I have read before. I can remember when this book first came out and passing people in the school corridor reading it, I kept saying I would get round to reading it but over ten years later and I finally picked up the book.
I really liked Robert Langdon's character as he was unbelievably smart and intriguing. Paired with Sophie who was intelligent and raised by her grandfather to solve puzzles, cryptics and recognise symbols, the book was filled with interesting characters to keep a reader intrigued from start to finish. As well as this, the character base increases with more complex characters such as an albino monk who sets out to complete the work of those above him and in the name of God. This plot really does have it all.
The depth of the plot was the most gripping as it uncovers some Vatican truths whilst tapping into historical figures and their significance. There is a lot of knowledge in this book and some very well thought out twists and turns, intertwined with real places in Paris and London not to mention real historical figures such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton and Victor Hugo. As I read this book I couldn't help but beat myself up for not visiting all the places mentioned in the book when in Paris or London but then again there's always next time.
Despite having seen the movie numerous times I was still addicted to this book, I was reading it from the minute I got through the door from work to the very second my eyes were closing in bed. Each chapter leaves you wanting more and jumps from one character to another making you want to read on to get to the next part. As the saying goes the book is better than the movie but I have to say that the movie was very well done. The ending does differ and I do prefer the ending in the book as I feel it has more sustenance with regards to the plot and the characters.
I gave this book a 5 out of 5 stars on goodreads and I have to be honest that after finishing this book it made me question the other 'fives' I have given out over the years because this book for me really was the whole package. I am hoping to start reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown over the next few days and I am hoping it will have the same addictive affect. Many people have told me in some ways it is even better than The Da Vinci Code and if this is the case I may have a few all-nighters ahead of me.

Every one of us is aware about birth control pills in women. Has anyone ever imagined a day when men will start using daily birth control pills for contraception in this male dominant world?
Researcher showed, consumption of a newly developed birth control pill daily containing Dimethandrolone undecanoate for men provides effective contraception and appears to be safe on preliminary results. The study was conducted in 100 healthy men between ages 18 to 50 years and took place at the University of Washington Medical Center. Total 83 men completed full study.
The senior investigator of study, Stephanie Page said; to be effective, Dimethandrolone undecanoate must be taken with food. It causes mild increase in weight and decreases HDL cholesterol.
Currently commonly used methods for male contraception are:

A political action committee opposing Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich just bought $3.6 million in Florida TV advertisements, according to the New York Times, and it appears the best response Gingrich can muster is something along the lines of, "Hey guys, knock it off. That's not nice."
Gingrich's lawyers sent letters to dozens of television stations in primary states, threatening legal action if they aired the ads, according to Politico. They wrote to the stations that "any statement or suggestion of a 'fine' is false. Even a cursory review of either the Report itself or the Congressional Record ... undeniably establish the falsity of this statement."
Under the Rules of the Committee, a reprimand is the appropriate sanction for a serious violation of House Rules and a censure is appropriate for a more serious violation of House Rules. ... It was the opinion of the Subcommittee that this matter fell somewhere in between. Accordingly, the Subcommittee and the Special Counsel recommend that the appropriate sanction should be a reprimand and a payment reimbursing the House for some of the costs of the investigation in the amount of $300,000. Mr. Gingrich has agreed that this is the appropriate sanction in this matter.

Every once in a while I'm asked how to deploy PowerShell in the enterprise, and my answer is always: "It depends". – It depends on the target machine's operating system, the PowerShell version you want to install, and if you already have a deployment mechanism (such as SCCM).
For this specific scenario, there was no deployment mechanism, the OSs were Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2, the PowerShell version needed to be installed was v4.0 and the machines didn't have internet connectivity (This is important for the .NET Framework 4.5 installation, which is a prerequisite for PowerShell 4.0. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2013/10/29/wmf-4-0-known-issue-partial-installation-without-net-framework-4-5.aspx).
So to make the deployment easier, I ended up writing a batch file so it could be used through GPO, SCCM, just double-click, and what not.
The installation script requires all the setup files to be in the same folder:
The full offline installer for the .NET Framework 4.5 can be downloaded from here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=225702
The Windows Management Framework 4.0 installation packages can be downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40855
(Make sure you download both packages (x86 and x64). The installation script determines the processor architecture and installs the correct package).
The setup script will create a log file (in the C:Temp folder, named with the same name you use for the batch file) containing the installation process details, and a verbose log file (C:Tempnetfx45.htm) for the .NET Framework installation.
Disclaimer: As are all code examples I post in this blog, the deployment batch file is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind.
@echo off title %~nx0 cls set "outputFolder=C:Temp" if /i not exist "%outputFolder%" md "%outputFolder%" >> "%outputFolder%%~n0.log" 2>&1 ( call :START ) & endlocal & goto:eof :START echo %date% %time% - %~nx0 started set RESTART=0 if /i "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="x86" ( if not defined PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432 ( set BITNESS=x86 ) else ( set BITNESS=x64 ) ) else ( set BITNESS=x64 ) :NETFX45 reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319SKUs.NETFramework,Version=v4.5" 2>NUL if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 0 ( echo .NET Framework 4.5 is already installed goto WMF4 ) echo Installing .NET Framework 4.5 start /wait %~dp0dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe /q /log %outputFolder%netfx45.htm /norestart if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 0 goto WMF4 if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 1641 goto WMF4 if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 3010 ( goto WMF4 ) else ( echo There was an error [%ERRORLEVEL%] during the .NET Framework 4.5 installation echo Check the logs for more details echo Windows Management Framework 4.0 installation aborted! goto EXIT ) :WMF4 reg query "HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftPowerShell3PowerShellEngine" /v PowerShellVersion 2>&1 | find "4.0" 2>&1>NUL if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 0 ( echo Windows Management Framework 4.0 is already installed goto EXIT ) echo Installing Windows Management Framework 4.0 (%BITNESS%) start /wait wusa.exe %~dp0Windows6.1-KB2819745-%BITNESS%-MultiPkg.msu /quiet /norestart if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 0 ( echo Windows Management Framework 4.0 installed successfully set RESTART=1 goto EXIT ) if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 3010 ( echo Windows Management Framework 4.0 installed successfully - restart required set RESTART=1 goto EXIT ) if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 2359302 ( echo Windows Management Framework 4.0 is already installed ) else ( echo There was an error [%ERRORLEVEL%] during the Windows Management Framework 4.0 installation echo Check the logs for more details ) :EXIT echo. & echo %date% %time% - %~nx0 ended & echo. if %RESTART% equ 1 shutdown.exe -r -f -t 0
Though it should go without saying, please test the setup process before you use it against all (or many) computers in your environment.
Also note that not all server applications are compatible with PowerShell 4.0. From the system requirements notes on the WMF 4.0 download page:
Systems that are running the following server applications should not run Windows Management Framework 4.0 at this time.
- System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (not including SP1)
- System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 (including SP1)
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
- Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard
Servers that are running the following applications can now run WMF 4.0. The versions listed are the minimum releases required to run WMF 4.0.
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP3 with Update Rollup 5
- Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Service Pack 1
- Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 with the February 2014 Cumulative Update
For some of them, you might need to change the management shell shortcut adding "-version 2". – See KB2796733 for more details.

Kurbbit - The Community Parking Network
2017 Code for the Mission
Service: Apps for a More Livable LA
We are creating an improved sharing economy network, The Community Parking Network. Think of Kurbbit as the Airbnb of parking, with a twist. It is a mobile website and iOS platform that connects a two-sided network of hosts and guest for short, medium, and long-term parking in congested communities. Hosts can make extra cash by renting out their unused parking spaces, and Kurbbit charges a commission on every transaction. Kurbbit's twist is what makes it unique. The platform encourages drivers to develop parking friendly communities by providing features to connect drivers leaving a destination with drivers arriving. Successful on-street spot swaps reward drivers leaving a destination with Kurbbit Community Points, which are interchangeable for various parking and commuter related benefits.

Blue Jackets place James Wisniewski and Mark Letestu on injured reserve; recall Sean Collins and Brian Gibbons from Springfield (AHL)by BlueJackets.com Staff / Columbus Blue Jackets
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- The Columbus Blue Jackets have placed center Mark Letestu and defenseman James Wisniewski on Injured Reserve and recalled centers Sean Collins and Brian Gibbons from the American Hockey League's Springfield Falcons, club General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced today.
Letestu, who has tallied three goals and two assists for five points in nine games this season, is expected to miss two to four weeks due to a groin injury suffered vs. Ottawa on October 28. Wisniewski, who has three assists in nine games this season after leading all club defensemen in scoring with 7-44-51 in 75 outings in 2013-14, suffered a broken finger vs. the Senators and will be sidelined one to two weeks.
Collins, 25, has collected 1-5-6 and two penalty minutes with an even plus/minus rating in eight games with Springfield this season. Columbus' ninth pick, 187th overall, in the 2008 NHL Draft, he has registered 0-1-1, six penalty minutes and is -1 in 11 career NHL games over the past two seasons. He has also notched 29-54-83, 60 penalty minutes and is +27 in 147 career AHL games, including 16-25-41, 34 penalty minutes and was +9 in 67 games last season.
The 6-1, 200-pound native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan also played four seasons at Cornell University (ECAC), where he notched 30-27-57 and 62 penalty minutes in 136 games from 2008-12. His best season was 2011-12 when he picked up 13-13-26 and 14 penalty minutes in 35 games.
Gibbons, 26, was signed by the Blue Jackets as a free agent last July and has collected 1-3-4, four penalty minutes and is +2 in seven games with Springfield this season. He spent the previous three seasons in the Pittsburgh Penguins organization, collecting 5-12-17, six penalty minutes and a +5 plus/minus rating in 41 career NHL games with the Penguins and 2-1-3 and two penalty minutes in eight Stanley Cup playoff contests. He has registered 31-63-94 with 107 penalty minutes and a +4 plus/minus rating in 175 career AHL games with Springfield and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Springfield.
A native of Braintree, Massachusetts, Gibbons spent four seasons at Boston College from 2007-11. He tallied 56-108-164, 241 penalty minutes and was +86 in 160 career NCAA games. He helped the Eagles capture two NCAA championships (2008, 2010) and combined for 34-67-101, 157 penalty minutes and a +50 plus/minus rating in 81 games during his junior and senior seasons. He tallied career highs with 18-33-51, 79 penalty minutes and a +26 plus/minus rating as a senior in 2010-11.
The Blue Jackets return to action on Friday when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs. Game time from Nationwide Arena is 7 p.m. ET. Live coverage on FOX Sports Ohio begins with the Blue Jackets Live pre-game show at 6:30 p.m. The game will also be broadcast live on the Scioto Downs Blue Jackets Radio Network, including flagship station Sports Radio 97.1 The Fan, and online at BlueJackets.com.

From: Nermin Zukic <email@example.com>
Subject: BosNet NEWS / Mar. 29, 1996
``The trial chamber orders that Colonel Krsmanovic be remanded to the
authorities in Bosnia-Herzegovina by midnight April 3 at the latest,''
ICTY presiding judge Claude Jorda said. Krsmanovic was captured with
General Djordje Djukic by Bosnian government forces, and subsequently
charged with war crimes in connection with the siege of Sarajevo.
Chief prosecutor Richard Goldstone told the tribunal on Friday there
was no reason to hold Krsmanovic any longer in The Hague as he was
unwilling to cooperate as a witness.
The tribunal rejected Krsmanovic's attorneys request for release and
claim he ic should not have to face investigation and possible trial for
war crimes in Bosnia where he might face the death penalty if convicted.
The U.N. criminal tribunal for former Yugoslavia said on Wednesday it
would hold public hearings next Tuesday against 37-year old Ivica Rajic,
nationalist Bosnian Croat militia leader. He and his troops are accused
of destroying village and slaughtering at least 16 civilians.
Zvonimir Hodak, lawyer for General Tihomir Blaskic, one of seven Croats
indicted for war crimes, told reporters in The Hague that he had met the

London, March 28, 1996 (Press TWRA)
The British lobbyist
association "Bosnia Solidarity" exposed evidence against British
high officials who were UNPROFOR Commanders during the war in BH.
This association accused Gen. Rose for helping the Serb aggressor
in BH. According to data of U.S. intelligence services, Gen. Rose
manipulated with SAS scanning units: during the siege of Bihac he
ordered them not to inform on the positions of BH Serbs in order
to disable NATO strikes. As the U.S. side insisted upon NATO
intervention, they launched the action several times, but lacking
the information on Serbian position, which SAS was supposed to
provide, they usually returned without getting anything done.
His concern for the safety of UNPROFOR units on the ground
(through which he, in accordance with London, sabotaged U.S.
actions, helping, thus, the Serbian side) was usually mentioned
as a main reason. Representatives of "Bosnia solidarity" exposed
also evidence on the responsibility of the other British General:
Gen.Rupert Smith, who was generally considered as having better
relations with Washington than with London. He was accused for
signing a secret agreement with Serbian General R. Mladic on the
"evacuation of women and children" from Srebrenica from which
they excluded men. If those accusations would be proven, Gen.
Smith would be responsible for destiny of 8.000 missing men from
Srebrenica. "Bosnia Solidarity" also mentions that British
intelligence service MI6 had influence on British journalists
reporting from BH, giving them instructions to advise inhabitants
of Srebrenica to leave the area for their own sake, which
strengthen the supposition that London was familiar long ago what
Serbs were intending to do in Srebrenica area. Activity of MI6 is
seen as a British effort to decrease a number of civil casualties
in order to make international community accept "more simply" the
fall of Srebrenica. <end> S.K.
Geneva, March 28, 1996 (Press TWRA)
According to the latest
report of M. Nowak, head of special investigation services for
missing people, more than 30.000 people (3.000 in Croatia and
27.00 IN BH) are missing in the area of former Yugoslavia. There
are well-founded doubts that some 300 collective graves are
situated in the area of Croatia and BH which should be located
and where bodies should be identified, Nowak said. During his
last visit to the ground, his access to the territory of the
Republic of Srpska and area under the Serbian control in Eastern
Slavonia and Baranja was allowed. He also requested approach to
"SRJ", for it is needed for a complete investigation. Nowak
pointed out the importance of the excavation of the graves in the
area of Prijedor and Srebrenica, for which the cooperation of all
sides is needed. From the Croatian side, Nowak requested the
assistance during the investigation of destiny of persons missing
after the operations "Oluja" ("Storm") and "Bljesak" ("Flash").

Health informatics professionals are tasked with the important responsibilities of obtaining, storing, organizing and leveraging data to improve the services provided by the healthcare industry. As data becomes an increasingly important resource in this field, demand for professionals who can efficiently and effectively work with this information is also on the rise.
If you are interested in pursuing one of these positions, the following five skills can help you succeed in the field of health informatics:
1. Interpersonal skills
Interpersonal skills are the competencies that allow you to interact effectively with other people. They include abilities such as conflict resolution, flexibility, empathy and teamwork. These traits are very important to succeed in a team environment, an important requirement of the health informatics field.
In health informatics, you will rarely work completely on your own. The nature of the job often requires collaboration between Information Technology (IT) professionals, clinical staff and organizational decision-makers, such as CEOs or marketing managers. To work closely with all of these professionals in an effective way en route to team objectives, you need to have well-developed interpersonal skills and team building skills.
2. Ability to problem solve
When working in health informatics, much of your day-to-day responsibilities will involve problem-solving in various settings. That may come in the form of clinical challenges, such as improving the sharing of patient data between providers, or involve information technology processes that need to be improved. While these tasks require intimate knowledge of health informatics, they also rely on problem-solving skills.
Sometimes, these challenges may arise because of the need to work closely with others from different disciplines. In these cases, your problem-solving skills will boil down to your ability to compromise and reach consensus while working with a multidisciplinary team.
"One essential problem-solving skill that all workers ought to work toward is the ability to compromise," educational consultant Gina Belli wrote for career website PayScale. "That sounds easy enough, but in practice it can be quite challenging. If you're really dedicated to finding a way to come to an agreement with people who feel very differently than you do, you have to work on developing the mental flexibility needed to have your own mind changed."
Whether you are solving problems related to data analysis or finding solutions to the obstacles that naturally arise when working on a team, this important ability will help you to thrive in a health informatics position.
3. Programming knowledge
Though computer programming is not necessarily a requirement for every health informatics position, it may give you an advantage over your competition and broaden your professional options. Languages like Java, C, Python, and SQL may be useful in the workplace, depending on your day-to-day responsibilities. If your current position does not provide opportunities to learn these skills, many free, online resources are available to improve your knowledge of the subject matter. Putting these technical languages on your resume could increase your chances of obtaining an interview for a position.
Research the responsibilities of your ideal role before choosing which – if any – technical language to learn. For instance, programming knowledge is particularly important if you want to build information systems for healthcare organizations, but some options may prove more useful than others.
4. Communication skills
Communication is a valuable skill in any industry. There are few positions that do not require you to convey information to another person, whether it is as part of an internal team memo or while meeting externally with client. However, this ability is particularly important for success in the field of health informatics. As an HI professional, you will generally be working with very complex information, such as large clinical data sets or revenue reports. Being able to communicate this information accurately and clearly is just as important as the collection, storage and management of the data.
However, it is not enough to be able to communicate well with those who work in your own department. In a health informatics role, you also need to be able to convey your work to other people within or outside your organization. Oftentimes, these professionals may not have the intimate knowledge of data analysis that is involved in your reports. As such, the ability to break down and explain this information those from various disciplines in a way they all can understand is critical. Keep in mind that communicating is not just speaking. It also involves listening.
"In our modern, global society, the skill of listening has taken a back seat," Steve Olenski, a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Digital & Social Media Marketing, wrote for Forbes. "Voice inflections, verbal pauses and eye contact have been replaced with texts, thumbs-up icons and emotions. While electronic communications make long-distance interaction easier than ever before, it has unfortunately hindered our ability to really listen during an information-rich conversation. "
When working in a team environment, the value of communication skills is about more than simply representing your own knowledge well. Listening closely to the contributions of others is also necessary for process improvement in health informatics, especially in a team based setting.
5. Ability to work with health data systems
As a health informatics professional, you will likely work closely with the health data systems used in your workplace. Consequently, developing skills in this area is important for succeeding in obtaining and excelling in an HI role. As best practices in the effective utilization of information technology applications are constantly evolving, this area is something that even seasoned HI professionals are engaging with to advance their organization's goals and status in the marketplace.
An effective way to learn more about the information systems used in healthcare is to earn a health informatics degree. In the Master of Science in Health Informatics online degree program with the University of Illinois at Chicago, you will take courses on topics such as the application of healthcare information systems and health information systems analysis and design, gaining the necessary skills and knowledge that can help you to perform well in the HI workplace. In a survey of UIC Master of Science in Health Informatics graduates, 79 percent reported that the degree helped them to advance in the field, while 47 percent additionally reported that the degree helped them to earn a promotion.
To learn more about how an MSHI degree from UIC can advance your career in health informatics, contact the admissions office today.

The Internet and social media have made consumers more empowered than ever before, changing the dynamics of many industries. Instead of depending on a salesperson or piece of company literature to learn about a product, it only takes people a few minutes to go online and get a truly candid scoop about any product they're considering.
In addition, consumers have more options than ever before. Most companies can no longer depend on positioning themselves as the only option in any market. The awareness that has come along with the growth of the Internet means that most consumers are going to know about a company's competitors. So if a company wants to win someone's business, they need to provide a great product and superior experience.
So, how can companies differentiate in order to stand out? A lot of the customer experience happens at check out. Improving the payment process makes a big difference and as consumers become more savvy and aware, the bar for what they expect from a payment experience has gotten higher.
When you're thinking about how to handle or improve the payment process for your consumers, keep the following options in mind:
Payment Security
Though consumers may not actively think about payment security, it should be your top priority as a business. Most consumers may not be fazed by issues they encounter while shopping, but any security red flags they may see will definitely be a deal breaker. The good news is there are several ways to emphasize security during your payment process.
Making PCI compliance a priority is a great starting point. For in-person payments, using a terminal that allows chip cards to be inserted instead of swiped is key. And for online payments, displaying relevant trust badges that show your site takes payment security seriously is a smart move.
Processing Speed
Consumers generally want a fast check-out experience, whether they're shopping online or in person. Although EMV terminals generally result in payments taking a little longer, you can speed up this process by looking for any opportunities to optimize how quickly someone gets checked out in person. With online payments, pre-populating fields with any relevant information and offering payment options like Apple Pay can make paying a breeze for consumers.
Convenience & Reliability
No consumer wants to feel frustrated when they go to pay. That's why it's important to train your team to promptly address any issues that may come up when people pay in person. Making smart decisions about how much information you require during an online checkout can help make this process straightforward instead of frustrating.
It can take some time and effort to optimize the payment experience you offer to consumers. An essential element of making this experience great is the right payment processing company. If your current provider has some issues or shortcomings that are holding you back, making the switch to a better payment processor such as our FullPay Gateway can be a big win.
