Experience and documentation
Both children who used the dynamic stander showed increases in bone mineral density, versus only one of the children who used the static stander.
22 children with severe cerebral palsy was included in the study. 11 underwent treatment using a Hart Walker (HW) device, and the other 11 underwent a passive standing program. Children exposed to the HW improved bowel function, and were able to take steps independently in the device. Providing a child who is nonambulatory the opportunity to walk may be important both for participation in activities of daily living and social roles and for preventing secondary conditions.
A pre-/post- test prospective one-group study evalutated outcomes three years after receiving the David Hart Walker Orthosis. The Hart Walker Orthosis remained the sole walking device for 13 of 20 children at 3 years and demonstrated improved ability overall to manoueuvre it during functional ambulation. Six of seven children who discontinued use were over 12 years old and had outgrown its maximum size.
78 children with CP with little or no trunk control were able to walk with the NF-Walker with moderate to no assistance. An increase in body function and activity according to the ICF was achieved.
The NF-Walker helps children with multiple disabilities who, without the device, would need strong guidance and/or support from a helper to walk. The NF-walker enables the child to coer longer distances, as a result of which walking is increased and the walking sequence can more easily be automated. This intensive walking increases muscle strength in both legs and upper body. There is also a positive impact on hip mauration, as this requires standing and walking stimuli.
Experience with the NF-Walker in an institution. The NF-Walker offers the safety the children need and enables progress both in their motor and their socio-emotional development.
According to the results attained in our study, we find that the NF-Walker is a higlyrelvant helping aid for children with spastic CP, GMFCS V. There is a high degree of satisfaction amongst parents, related to technological aspects, adjustment to their needs and autonomy granted; therfore it is overall a good option to be prescribed by rehabilitation doctors for these patients.
The NF-Walker offers children the possibility to experience standing independently, both still and moving. The device guarantees a correct body alignment, allowing the lower limb flexor muscles to stretch and improving head control and trunk stability.

It was kinda inevitable that Sony would end up recalling its own Vaio batteries, which is precisely what's just happened in Japan, but it's a bit more of a surprise to hear that the company is going to fess up to the dirty great hole the Batterygate fiasco is sure to blow in its bottom line.
As boring as the story is becoming, the numbers are looking pretty bleak for Sony – 90,000 Vaio batteries plus over 8 million from Dell, Apple et al equals a US$250 million kick in the swingers. Concerned citizens may want to let Sony know precisely how much they care by taking the poll below.

Army's Privatized Lodging Program Could Benefit from More Effective Planning
GAO-10-771: Published: Jul 30, 2010. Publicly Released: Jul 30, 2010.

(202) 512-4523
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense (DOD) operates nearly 70,000 lodging rooms--similar to hotel rooms--and spent nearly $1 billion in 2009 to operate them. In 2002, Congress provided authority to privatize lodging facilities. Army privatized lodging at 10 installations in August 2009 and plans to privatize its remaining domestic facilities in the future. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 requires GAO to review lodging privatization and an Army report. This report addresses (1) the factors the military services considered in their decisions to privatize, (2) challenges in the Army's privatization efforts, (3) the effect of the economic downturn on the Army's privatization program, and (4) the extent to which an Army report required by the act, issued in March 2010, addresses the elements in the law. GAO reviewed documentation and interviewed officials from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the military services, the developer for the Army's privatization project, and four Army installations where lodging was privatized.
The Army decided to privatize its lodging facilities to obtain private sector financing to address the poor condition of its facilities and the high estimated costs to repair them, whereas the other military services decided not to privatize since the services' lodging expenses could increase due to higher room rates if privatized and officials viewed their lodging facilities as in generally good condition. GAO's analysis found that if the military services chose to privatize, lodging costs could increase due to higher room rates. Army officials GAO interviewed generally viewed the lodging privatization transfer process and improvements the developer has made since the transfer as a success; however some challenges affected the timing of building new facilities and the transition of operations to the private developer. First, the private developer had to delay the start of major renovations and new construction by 2 years given several life-safety and critical system deficiencies at these facilities. The developer is currently repairing these deficiencies at its expense before these conveyed facilities can be used as collateral to obtain further financing to begin the planned renovations and new construction at the Army's 10 installations privatized to date. However, the extent to which similar life-safety and critical system deficiencies repairs for the next group of facilities to be privatized should be completed by the Army or the private developer is unclear because the Army has not fully assessed the costs and benefits of performing these repairs. Second, those involved in privatizing the lodging facilities experienced confusion about some aspects of the transfer of facilities and equipment to the developer because the Army did not develop a single, comprehensive transition plan that included information on all the tasks to be completed as part of the transfer process. Thus, installations encountered some problems, such as transferring data to the developer, and the Army may encounter similar challenges in future lodging privatization efforts. The economic downturn hindered the private developer's ability to obtain financing for the lodging privatization project at favorable interest rates, which also delayed the project. Specifically, the Army cited the constrained credit environment, the ability to demonstrate sufficient cash flow, and the need to address facility life-safety and critical repair issues before using the facilities as collateral as factors that affected the private developer's ability to obtain long-term financing for the lodging privatization project. The Army's report addressed the three elements required by the law, but it lacks some information related to one of the elements that could help clarify the Army's responses. The Army's report addressed the elements that the Army evaluate the efficiency of lodging privatization and make recommendations about expanding the program. While the Army's report describes implementation at the privatized installations, as required, it does not describe how it plans to incorporate lessons that the Army identified in the report into future privatization efforts. GAO recommends that the Army assess the costs and benefits of completing repairs to future facilities to be privatized, develop a transition plan, and clarify how it will incorporate lessons learned into future privatization efforts. In commenting on a draft of this report, DOD agreed with GAO's recommendations and plans to take actions to address them.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, the Army assessed the costs and benefits of having the Army or a private developer perform life-safety and critical system repairs. Based on the Army's assessment, officials decided not to transfer two buildings at one installation, reducing the estimated cost of the life safety and critical system repairs by about $26 million, resulting in a cost avoidance of about $11 million. The Army considered using fiscal year 2011 operation and maintenance funding or raising lodging rates in fiscal year 2011 to complete the necessary repairs, but determined that having the private developer perform the necessary repairs was the preferred approach. DOD expects that the private developer will leverage the already-repaired facilities in the first group of facilities that were privatized and an anticipated government direct loan to perform the repairs for the second group of facilities to be privatized. Therefore, the Army will not need to pay for these repairs with appropriated funds.
Recommendation: To better ensure that the Army is spending its financial resources as efficiently as possible, the Secretary of the Army should direct the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management and the Commander, Installation Management Command, working with the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations and Environment), to assess the costs and benefits of the Army or a private developer repairing life-safety and critical infrastructure deficiencies at facilities in future groups to be privatized.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense: Department of the Army
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, the Army developed a comprehensive checklist detailing key steps in transitioning from Army lodging facilities to privatized facilities, which is currently in use for the second group to be privatized. Additionally, the Army standardized information dissemination to the installations and employees by using newsletters, bi-weekly calls to affected lodging managers, and posting information to an internal Army Web site. Moreover, the Commander, Installation Management Command, issued an operations order that included details on key tasks related to the transfer. As a result, installation officials and others responsible for implementing the transfer of lodging facilities from the Army to the private developer have access to information that should ease the transition for future facilities to be privatized, including the group of facilities currently undergoing privatization.
Recommendation: To facilitate more efficient operations before, during, and after the transition from service-operated to privatized lodging, the Secretary of Army should direct the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations and Environment), working with the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management and the Commander, Installation Management Command, and other appropriate stakeholders, to develop a single, comprehensive transition plan for future lodging privatization that includes details on key aspects of privatizing.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense: Department of the Army
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Key steps that the Army has taken in identifying and implementing lessons learned from the first lodging facilities privatized include evaluating facilities for life-safety and critical repair deficiencies, developing checklists for the timely termination of government contracts, and collecting information on lessons learned from the private developer and incorporating the input into other key documents related to the transfer. As a result, future groups of lodging facilities to be privatized--including the group currently undergoing privatization--can benefit from lessons learned from the first group privatized and be better prepared to address challenges encountered by the first group.
Recommendation: To facilitate effective implementation of lessons learned into the lodging privatization program, the Secretary of the Army should direct the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations and Environment); the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management; the Commander, Installation Management Command; and other stakeholders to clarify how the Army will incorporate lessons learned into its current and future privatization efforts.

Rumors are flying about Blockbuster working on a set-top device that will stream films directly to your TV. The technology used to make this possible is rumored to be coming from Movielink, an online service for renting and downloading movies on your computer, that Blockbuster acquired last year.
The rumors are not that hard to believe considering that the company has recently reinforced its commitment to delivering content through a variety of mediums.
If Blockbuster is in fact developing its own box, it's entering into a very crowded market. Comcast, Cox, and other cable providers already have plans to improve their own OnDemand services, not to mention TiVo's own Unbox and of course, Apple's latest incarnation of Apple TV.
Blockbuster needs to do something but I think the company is better off partnering with someone instead of asking us consumers to attach yet another box to our TVs.

Ok thanks.
ok so the one i bought already has the cut on it.. and there was no pressure on the fuel rail so as far as i know all pressure is released.. am i missing something? i still hit a dead end when pushing hose through. Im in colorado and its cool outside so the hose is fairly stiff do to cold, would a warm hose make a difference, or anything else you can think of?
Just follow the instrutions,if doesn't work you'll still can drop the tank with the gas in,this is easy tank to drop.
Do you a couple floor jacks, use a piece of 2x4 to not damage the gas tank.
let me know how you make.

I went to the local model shop in Chiclana to collect my ordered pine (pino) and it had not arrived. It was promised for the next day. Another journey which I did not fancy. I had a route around in their hard wood box and found some lime (tilo). It seemed strong enough so bought that. I am advised by BA that it is acceptable. You can see from the pictures manufacturing has started. You need to think the order or of work through. It will be a fully sheeted wing and you need to get the manufacturing into the right order or you are going to have a problem. I am currently thinking that I will finish the wing in Spain, but fit the servo's in the U.K. I think the wing will be finished in approximately a months time. I want to get as much flying in as possible so that takes preference. The weather has been a bit windy so no flying for 4 or 5 days, but it is warm. The U K is not the place to be at the moment with the cold, snow and ice.
As we spoke on the phone, this wing can be built direct onto the bottom wing skins and spar assembly, just use the plan to mark dimensions onto 1/16" sheet.
looking good Micheal, let us know how you get on, following the instructions on the plan. Be careful when planing the flaps & ailerons to section not to get to thin at the trailing edge, leave a lttle bit plus on these till sure where you are. If you do make a mistake you can let a bit of balsa in so all will not be lost. You need nice light 10 ounce cubic foot quarter grain 3/8" balsa sheet for these, that is approx 60 grams for a 3" wide X 3ft long piece.
With the WattsUp that has elevator and rudder control I have made a mistake with the dihedral of the wings. I read it as 4 degree but it is 8 degree. The drawing supplied by BA shows how it should be. It is a quite a problem to resolve this. I could ignore it but I am one of those people who if they know of a mistake will always think about it. I did not want to rip the wing apart so I decide to drill out the spigots on the tips and reset. It has turned out better than expected I am glad to say. Unless you know of the modification you would not know. Dihedral is a very important design aspect and should be as the designers calculations. There is a explanation of dihedral on the internet.
The fast wing is coming along nicely and the dihedral is correct.
The center panel of fast wing is nearly ready to put the top sheets on. There are several small items to finish off. Then I will get on to the tips.
For those of you following this thread you know that the dihedral was 4 degree, this was a mistake. I have altered to 8 degrees as the design. I went test flying today and it was a different glider. Turning was very smooth and level and pleasure to fly. I also played with the CG and I think it is correct. I took some weight out of the nose which seems to have improved things. I gave the glider a dive test and it showed a little nose heavy. There are many factors which can alter the CG so I will leave alone for now. When flying from a beach thermals are in short supply so I was only getting 5 minutes with each flight. When I get a pic of the 8 degree glider I will publish.
The center panel of the fast wing is finished except for some holes that need filling. I need a very fine filler. I am working on a bench which is a piece of board and any small objects mark the wing. It's a problem. When I cover the wing hopefully very small indentations will not show through. I will start on the tips on Wednesday as I am going to Gibralter tomorrow. It's very windy at the moment with no let up predicted, so flying is out and building is in. The problem I have with the tips is the webbing has to be tapered. I going to try and do it with a laser saw. If not they will not be tapered but stronger. I got my 42mm spinner from the U K and that has helped keeeping the sand out the motor. I am also taking the spinner off after each flight and cleaning. That has helped I am sure.
Coming together well now Michael. A tip on dents that I have used for some time now, is rather than fill them in, inject water through a hyperdermic syringe into the dented area, This will swell out to the original shape. Works well on dents in plastic covererd wings as well inject though the film leave or iron over for it toreturn to original shape.
Foam webbing is easy to taper off. Run knife along edge of spars after sliding between them, before glueing in position.
We are suffering a lot of sun but also a lot of wind so flying is out at this time. Sunday looks a possibility. The port tip is nearly finished. I just have to shape the tip and do a bit of filling and that's finished. I will then get on with the starboard tip. Cuttung the spars with a razor saw was not a problem at all. It's looking quite good at the moment. When installing the tip spigot I fitted the 1.2 mm ply on one side and then filled with balsa. To finish off I filled with hot glue. It seemed to work very well. The spigot is not coming loose that's for sure. I have decided to get the aileron and flap servo's when I get home at the end of March. Doesn't time fly. I am going to the model shop next week to get the covering. I have decided on dark red on the underneath and yellow on the top. It will match the rest of the model.

Yield: 12 servings
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 50 min
This is a terrific recipe for those who get nervous about preparing a lot of recipes on Thanksgiving Day. If you have a crockpot, you can make them ahead of time and just warm them in a buttered crockpot until they're ready to serve. So easy!
5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, boiled & mashed
6 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces sour cream
1/2 cup milk or half & half
2 teaspoons onion salt
ground black pepper to taste
1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; mix well using an electric mixer. Place in a large, buttered casserole dish.
2. If serving right away, cover and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F. for 50 minutes.
*It's ok to lighten this recipe up a little by using low fat cream cheese and light sour cream.
*You can make this recipe several days ahead and store in the fridge. If baking cold, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes first.
*If you're lacking oven space, start warming this in a well-buttered crockpot earlier in the day.

Ampersand Dance/Theatre: Two good buddies, Texas Christian University graduates Eric Salisbury and Shannon Slaton, have been profiled extensively in the Dallas press for talents that don't often bring you much acclaim - not to mention financial security - in this city. Salisbury is a dancer-choreographer who's performed with troupes across the country and has been commissioned to write dance pieces for local outfits such as Contemporary Dance/Fort Worth. Slaton is a playwright-actor-stage director who studied at State University of New York at Stony Brook and with local theatrical guru Fred Curchack, and has seen several of his plays produced. As two developing talents desperately seeking their orbit in the subterranean stratosphere of Dallas performance arts, the pair decided to institutionalize themselves - as an independent company, that is, not wards of the state. Their Ampersand Dance/Theatre kicks off its first full seasson with And ... What Else, a collaboration that includes dance, spoken word, and absurdist drama with the help of the company's choreographer-in-residence Andrea Harris and theater-artist-in-residence Tim McCanna. The show happens September 7-9 at Theatre on Elm Street, 3202 Elm. Tickets are $8-$10. Call 388-8946.
september 8
Michael Mogavero and William B. Montgomery: New Illusionistic and Narrative Works: Thanks to some very hot, very high-paid, very one-dimensional artists, the impulse to confuse shock with revelation has atrophied into one of the most embarrassing cliches of American visual art. Our tender sensibilities worn to the nub, we can be inspired only as far as a yawn at the latest ugly truth shoved in our faces by self-righteous painters, photographers, and performers. Texas-based artists Michael Mogavero and William B. Montgomery don't exhibit much in the North Texas area, which is a shame when you see the impressively technical, deceptively serene multi-subject scenes and portraits that have earned raves from the likes of Art in America. The Austin-based Mogavero creates gigantic, mural-like images on canvas, wood, and paper, with so much tension between pattern and color you expect them to stampede off the wall. Montgomery, who lives in Elgin, combines painting and printing techniques that feature graceful, slightly cynical organic worlds. Their show, New Illusionistic and Narrative Works, opens September 8 at 6 p.m. and runs through October 6 at Craighead-Green Gallery, 2404 Cedar Springs. It's free. Call 855-0779.
Marianne Williamson: There are so many empty spaces in the lectures of spiritual populists such as Marianne Williamson and Deepak Chopra that anybody can step in and create almost any message he wants. Of course, it's that same built-in Rorschach test that makes religious doctrine thousands of years old the perfect excuse to rape and pillage. Talented as she is as a public speaker, Williamson isn't likely to be stealing the Pope's thunder any time soon. Still, the faithful who come to embrace her and maybe shed a few tears about their own troubles offer her a modest tribute that has a certain Catholic intensity. What are we to make of the textbook on which her curriculum is based - A Course in Miracles, the fascinatingly dense, vaguely hypnotic tome that presents disppointment, disease, and death as mere illusion? Does Williamson offer inspirational, common-sense guidelines about love and personal responsibility, or roadside elixirs for your wounded soul? Her career as a best-selling author was cut short after the surprise failure of her neo-feminist tract A Woman's Way, which was sort of like sitting in on a consciouness raising session overseen by Stevie Nicks. She presents an evening lecture September 8 at 7:30 p.m. and a Relationships Workshop September 9 at 10:00 a.m., both at the Unity Church of Dallas, 6525 Forest Lane. Tickets for the former are $30; the latter, $75. For information call 233-7106.
Dr. Daniel Polz: You can't make a lot of easy comparisons between Texas and Egypt, except maybe the heat, though the Middle East variety is drier and often disappears at night. Still, there are folks in the mid-cities area much intrigued by the discoveries being made around the cradle of human civilization. The North Texas Chapter of the American Research Center in Egypt sponsors two events this weekend, featuring a recognized international scholar of Egyptian history and culture. Egyptologist Dr. Daniel Polz, who's an assistant professor in the Department of Near Eastern Languages at the University of California in Los Angeles, flies to Southern Methodist University for a talk on the latest discoveries unearthed from the necropolis of Thebes. The weekend kicks off September 8 with a 7 p.m. lecture, free and open to the public, entitled "An Enigmatic Tomb at Thebes," and continues September 9, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., with a $50 seminar entitled "Ancient Thebes: Anatomy of a Capital Necropolis." Both events take place in Room 153 of Heroy Hall, 3225 Daniel on the SMU campus. For info call 349-1052.

Montage '95: Dallas has so many street arts festivals throughout the spring and summer, they start to become a blur after a while. But in its 11th incarnation, Montage '95 is something of a feat of execution - the entire annual event is planned, organized, and staffed by volunteers, most of whom do not have an immediate financial stake in a healthy performing and visual arts scence. In other words, these people do it because they love the cause, and with all proceeds earmarked to benefit various Dallas cultural agencies, you can feel good that your modest admission fee ($4 in advance, $5 at the gate) is a donation to performers who often get the cold shoulder from mainstream Dallas audiences. A sample of offerings at Montage '95 includes six stages of continuous live entertainment by musicians, dancers, and actors; a wide array of international foods; 150 artist booths, street performers; and an interactive arts area. The event happens September 9, 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. and September 10, 11 a.m. - 7 p.m., along Flora Street between the Meyerson Center and the Dallas Museum of Art. Kids 4 and under get in free. 361-2011
Great Foundation Plaza Festival: It's amazing how the most innocuous public totems soon overtake the land around them and become places for socializing. Thus is the evolution of the fountain at the Richardson Civic Center on Arapaho and Central. Each year Richardson organizers plan their community celebration with just that touch of fountain spray to keep things cool. The Great Fountain Plaza Festival features a wide range of low-exertion, high-spectacle activities that are the perfect way to say farewell to summer '95. There's a children's midway of scale-size rides; a race course; fishing from the fountain; a newspaper toss; elephant rides; the comic stylings of Poppy & Bonkers; the Austin P. Roadman armadillo puppet show; and a main stage that features live music from The Panhandlers and Brad Thompson and His Undulating Band as well as the Chamberlain Ballet, the Repertoire Drummers, and lots more. It's all free, and happens 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. at the southwest corner of Central & Arapaho on the Civic Center Fountain Grounds. Call 680-7909.
12 More Dallas Poets Talking: Ever picked up a copy of The Word, a locally printed 'zine available at various bookstores and coffee-houses? If you do, you'll know that Dallas is currently in the midst of a poetry revival. There are, literally, dozens of venues scattered in and around the city that hold regular performances and open mic nights (a sampling of which can be found every week in Observer events listings). Things have gotten so out of hand that there have been regular calls for a little more organization, a little more courtesy, and a little less ego when it comes to performance time. As good an introduction to this bountiful, chaotic harvest as you'll get can be found in "12 More Dallas Poets Talking," an all-day, informal symposium that includes both performed verse and a variety of wisdom from a panel of 13 of the top local scribes, including Sam Modica, Clebo Rainey, Gordon Hilgers, and Christopher Soden. At last year's event, more than 50 writers gathered and birthed new collectives The Writer's Garret and Wordspace as well as the aforementioned Word. Expect even more creative frisson this year. The event happens 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. at The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, 2719 Routh. It's free, and the public is invited. Call 871-2440.
september 10
Progressive Brunch: For those of us outside the Park Cities loop, a "progressive brunch" sounds like it might mean an early brown-bag meal at a Montessori school. In actuality, the word "progressive" is used here in its most literal sense - folks who indulge in such a repast progress to a different location ( be it a neighboring estate or just another wing on the summer house) for each course. The Deep Ellum Association and the Elm Street Market host their own "progressive brunch" in an attempt to acquaint you with the heretofore unsung gustatory potential of Deep Ellum. This adventure starts at 11 a.m. and sweeps through four very different neighborhood eateries - Sol's Taco Lounge, the Kaffeine Shack, The Donut Lady & K.J.'s Koffee, and Deep Java. You might eat conservatively, because there are a lot of yummies - vegetable quesadillas, homemade sandwiches, fresh donuts, and bagels - that are a little on the heavy side. $15 admission benefits both the Deep Ellum Association and Dallas "Can" Academy. For more information call 748-4332.
Gang Warfare: The McKinney Avenue Contemporary has collaborated with art critic and curator Michael Corris and his Independent Art Space in London for a vision of the New World Order as the New Pecking Order. The resulting "video theme park," called Gang Warfare, makes its American debut at the MAC and is divided into six regional segments - British, American, Brazilian, German, Croation, and Portuguese. Each nation has a station where viewers can safely witness the pleasures and pains of its national identity, as interpreted through the eyes of local, national, and international audiences. In an American culture that's currently fixated on gang memberships in our schools and neighborhoods, it's easy to remember that the example was set early on by our nation's leaders. The show opens with a reception September 8, 6-8 p.m. and runs through October 29 at 3120 McKinney. It's free. For more information call 943-1099.
september 12
Invoking The Spirit: Worship Traditions in the African World: Late last year when veteran New York times photographer Chester Higgins Jr. released his international collection of pictures spanning three decades, Feeling the Spirit: Searching the World for the People of Africa, critics in the national print media drooled over the artist's accomplishments. Here is a man who traveled wherever his sense of cultural connection led him, from Egypt to Brazil to the dusty roads of Alabama. Higgins attempted to find some common thread of gesture, mannerism, facial expression, or daily ritual that would connect African people to their continental source, no matter how much geography, time, and adopted culture had separated them. The African American Museum in Dallas hosts a collection of photos by Higgins that includes works from Feeling The Spirit as well as other images. Invoking The Spirit: Worship Traditions in the African World is on display at the Museum, located at 3536 Grand Avenue in Fair Park. 565-9026.
september 13
Across Continents and Cultures: The Art and Life of Henry Ossawa Tanner: The Dallas Museum of Art and The African American Museum in Dallas embark on an unprecedented collaboration of talents and resources to showcase a towering 19th century American painter. In many ways, Henry Ossawa Tanner traveled the opposite trajectory of many American artists - he spent most of the end of his life, rather than his formative years, in Europe, and instead of dropping his stateside identity like a hot coal, he relied on many of the family, church, and community principles he acquired to discipline his work to the end. The Dallas Museum of Art is the first to show Tanner's work this month in Dallas, with 56 paintings constituting a show called Across Continents and Cultures: The Art and Life of Henry Ossawa Tanner. Even as his autumn years came to a close in a relatively secluded European spot, Tanner was compelled to capture the Biblical scenes and family rituals of his childhood. The African American Museum follows September 16 with Henry O. Tanner: Prints, Drawings, and Watercolors. Both shows close December 31. Admission to the DMA exhibit is $1-$5. For more information call 922-1200.
The Living: There are plenty of reasons why a play that details the strange psychological adjustments required to live in the midst of a plague speak to the late 20th century American audiences, and not just because of AIDS. Listen to nationwide polls and man-on-the-street interviews, and you'll find a common theme - the loss of control in a technological, economically disadvantaged world, and the striving for little ways to regain some direction before the tide overtakes you. These are the kinds of issues the citizens of 1665 London had to face as they watched folks drop like flies from the bubonic plague. The Gryphon Players present the Southerwestern premiere of Antony Clarvoe's The Living, a drama about the 17th century European plague years which explores what happens when community politics must be based on mortality, not tradition. Performances of The Living happen Wednesday-Saturday at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees September 17 & 24 at 4 p.m. in the Hickory Street Annex Theatre. Tickets are $10-$14. Call 526-1158.

Rights of Tenants: Rent
Should my landlord give me a receipt when I pay my rent?
If you pay any of your rent in cash, the landlord must give you a receipt at the same time. The receipt must include:
- the date
- the amount paid
- your name
- what the payment was for
- the landlord's signature
If you live in a building with 5 apartments or fewer and your landlord lives there, he does not have to give rent receipts. If your landlord won't give a receipt, try to pay with a check or money order and keep your own records.
Can my landlord charge interest on a late payment of rent?
Yes. If you do not pay your rent within 15 days after it is due, your landlord can charge a late fee. The fee cannot be more than 4% of one month's rent. For example, if your rent is $800 per month, the late charge cannot be more than $32. To charge a late fee, your landlord must tell you about it in writing when you agree to rent from him.
General Assistance
Does my landlord have to accept general assistance (GA) rent vouchers?
Read more about General Assistance in Maine.
Yes. Your landlord cannot refuse your rent just because the town is paying some or all of it.
What if the landlord refuses to take GA vouchers?
First, find out why your landlord will not take GA vouchers. Maybe the problem is that the town only pays by the week but your landlord charges by the month. Ask the town to pay by the month or to agree with your landlord on a payment schedule. If the town will not help, call the General Assistance Unit at the Department of Health and Human Services in Augusta. Their toll free number is 1-800-442-6003. If that does not help, call your local Pine Tree Legal office.
Your landlord cannot refuse to take GA simply because he doesn't like city vouchers. You can file a discrimination complaint with the Maine Human Rights Commission in Augusta: 624-6290. Pine Tree Legal can help you to file a complaint.
Rent Increases
Can my landlord increase my rent?
Yes, if you are a tenant at will (without a lease). Your landlord must give you a 45 day written notice of any rent increase. If your landlord does not do this, you have two choices
- You can refuse to pay the increase, or
- You can pay under protest and later sue your landlord for the amount you were overcharged. You can ask the court to order the landlord to pay for your court costs and lawyer's fees. Or you can sue in Small Claims Court without a lawyer.
If you choose not to pay the increase, your landlord may try to evict you. More on evictions
If you have a lease, the landlord probably cannot increase the rent during the lease term. Read your lease to find out if it says something different.
If you live in subsidized housing, your rent is based on your income. So your rent can be raised or lowered if your income changes. Also, there are special "earnings disregard" rules if you start working. Read your lease. Then contact Pine Tree Legal if you think you are paying too much.
Can my landlord increase my rent if there are serious problems with my apartment?
No. If there are serious problems which are unsafe or could make you sick, the landlord must fix the problems before she can charge more rent. For example, your landlord cannot increase your rent if there is no heat in the winter. If you or your guests have caused the problems, then your landlord can still raise your rent. For more information about heating your apartment, see "How Much Heat and Other Utilities Does my Landlord Have to Provide?"

Hembree Family
The Hembree family re-entered McMinn County in the late 1930's. They originally entered this country in the 1740's and became established in several cultures...the British, (they were from England), the Scottish (by marriage), the Cherokee, (in numerous ways) and our African American culture (also in numerous ways).
Probably the top Hembree (Emory) researcher of this day is Mr. Larry Petrisky. The data he has compiled in several different projects have done more to advance research in this family than any in recent years.
His work is presented via these links. It is given freely for the use of Hembree researchers but credit must be given to Mr. Petrisky. firstname.lastname@example.com

The Abraham Hembree Data Project
The Abraham Hembree Data Project Index
This 175 page document goes back generations from the 1757 birth date of Abraham. It speaks at length of his father, William Emory...his mother Mary Grant. Mary's parents Ludovic Grant and Eugihooti & their involvement with the Cherokee culture. It also speaks of the Emory/Amory involvement with the pre-Revolution colonies of the Carolina's and Georgia.
This document goes far beyond the reach of Abraham Hembree. It also deals with the myriad of other Hembree families throughout Virginia and the Carolinas. It is an amazing document and well worth your search.
The Mysterious Death of Edward Hembree
This document covers the mysterious death of the son of "Old" John Hembree. John was the half brother of William Emory and son of John Amory. Old John being the son of a Cherokee woman suspected to be Mary Eyers (Ayers) and John Amory. Edward's death and property left the hands of the family under dubious circumstances and this document is well worth the reading.
The Vann family with its deep roots within the Cherokee culture is widely known. This document examines the relationships between the Hembree's, Vann's & several affiliated families.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; - Penn State played its most complete game of the season, thumping No. 19/15 Wisconsin, 38-7, today in Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions improved to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in the Big Ten before a sun-splashed Homecoming throng of 109,754, the sixth-largest crowd in Beaver Stadium history.
Playing against its first ranked opponent this year, the Nittany Lions earned their largest margin of victory against a ranked foe since crushing No. 8 Nebraska, 40-7 in 2002. Penn State has won its last two games against ranked opponents, beating No. 17 Tennessee in the 2007 Outback Bowl.
The Nittany Lions have won 19 of their last 20 games at home, dating to the a win over Michigan State in the final game of the 2004 season.
Penn State ran for 221 yards and Anthony Morelli was 16 of 28 for 216 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. The Nittany Lions held Wisconsin to a season-low 87 rushing yards, 105 below its season average entering the game. Wisconsin tailback P.J. Hill was limited to 75 yards on the ground, 50 yards below his season average of 125 ypg. The Nittany Lions recorded five sacks, with two by sophomore defensive end Maurice Evans (Brooklyn, N.Y.), giving him seven sacks this season.
Penn State demonstrated it was ready to play from the opening kickoff. On Wisconsin's first play of the game, junior defensive end Josh Gaines (Fort Wayne, Ind.) caused Badger running back P.J. Hill to fumble at the Wisconsin 17 yard line. Junior linebacker Sean Lee (Pittsburgh) recovered the loose ball at the 12 and a three-play drive that took 1:08 resulted in the Nittany Lions' first touchdown of the day, courtesy of a Matt Hahn (Dix Hills, N.Y.) 1-yard run. The extra point from Kevin Kelly (Langhorne) made it 7-0 Penn State only 1:21 ticked off the clock.
After another short Wisconsin drive, a 12-yard run from Rodney Kinlaw (Goose Creek, S.C.) combined with Anthony Morelli (Pittsburgh) completions of 15 yards to Deon Butler (Woodbridge, Va.) and 18 yards to Terrell Golden (Norfolk, Va.) set up a field goal opportunity for the Nittany Lions. Kelly buried the 30-yarder to stretch the PSU lead to 10-0. The field goal was the 49th of Kelly's career, just one off Craig Fayak's school record of 50.
Wisconsin answered on the next drive, putting together a nine-play, 77-yard drive in just over four minutes. Hill scored from the one-yard line, cutting the Nittany Lion lead to 10-7.
Penn State held the three-point lead until its first drive of the second quarter when Penn State used two passing plays and an Evan Royster (Fairfax, Va.) run to score its first touchdown in the air. Morelli found Butler for back-to-back 12- and 29-yard completions, the second of which put six more points on the board for the Nittany Lions. With 13:00 minutes left in the second quarter, Penn State put the lead back to 10 points, 17-7. The touchdown catch was Butler's first of the season and the 12th of his career, moving him into sixth place on the PSU list.
After another great defensive stop that saw the Badgers only move 14 yards, Morelli and the offense systematically picked the Wisconsin defense apart. He three complete passes that for 38 yards to take the ball to the UW 19-yard line. On fourth and one, freshman running back Royster followed blocks by Gerald Cadogan (Portsmouth, Ohio) and Hahn, zipping to the score for a 24-7 lead.
With the second half explosion Nittany Lions have outscored the opposition 71-7 in the second quarter this season (14-0 today). Lee racked-up 10 tackles in the opening half, including one for loss, while Dan Connor (Wallingford, Pa.) tallied seven solo stops with a sack and a tackle for loss by halftime.
Penn State took the opening possession of the second half and marched 74 yards in 11 plays. Morelli threw a 19-yard completion to Golden and Kinlaw had 19 and 10-yard runs. Kinlaw finished the drive with a two-yard TD run, making it 31-7 with 11:31 left in the third quarter. Kinlaw earned his third career 100-yard rushing day, posting 115 yards on 23 carries.
Penn State has outscored its opponents 72-6 in the third quarter this season (7-0) today.
Midway through the fourth quarter, the Badgers were stopped on a fourth-and-one at their own 43. Junior quarterback Daryll Clark (Youngstown, Ohio) entered the game and directed a quick scoring drive. Royster ran 14 yards, followed by a 17-yard burst by Clark to UW 1. Clark scored on the next play to make it 38-7 with 4:50 to play. Royster gained 68 yards on just eight carries (8.5) for the game.
Butler led the wideouts with seven receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown. Golden set career highs with five catches for 83 yards and sophomore tight end Mickey Shuler (Enola) made two catches for 21 yards.
Lee and Connor tied for game-high honors with 12 tackles apiece. Lee posted his fifth consecutive double figure tackle game, with 2.0 tackles for losses, a sack and the crucial early fumble recovery. Connor had 1.5 TFL, with a sack, and moved into second place on the Penn State career tackles list with 344, passing Greg Buttle. Junior cornerback Lydell Sargeant (Lompoc, Calif.) made eight tackles, grabbed an interception and had two pass break-ups. Junior safety Tony Davis (Warren, Ohio) made seven hits and junior safety Anthony Scirrotto (West Deptford, N.J.) had six tackles and a second quarter interception.
Evans had three solo tackles, all minus-yardage hits for 22 yards, with two sacks.
Penn State visits Indiana on Saturday at 12:00 p.m. ET for the first meeting between the schools since 2004. The game will air on ESPN, the Penn State Sports Network and GoPSUsports.com. The Hoosiers (5-2, 2-2) lost at Michigan State tonight.

Blog network B5Media has abruptly closed down its Entertainment network, leaving more than 50 bloggers out in the cold, without a clue what's happened.
We're working on this story now, so more as we can get it, but it seems gloomy.
Robin Parrish, the blogger for ApproachingLost.com, Tweeted about an hour ago: "APPROACHINGLOST.COM IS DEAD. b5media just terminated the entire Entertainment network. Devastated. Angry. Totally numb."
B5Media is launching a new entertainment hub called Crushable.com, which is apparently going to replace the old Entertainment network, without any crossover from old freelancers.
Update: The buzz on Twitter is that B5 gave no notice to bloggers before cutting them free. People have been locked out of their blogs and haven't been told how long their sites will remain up.
Update: Amanda Ernst, who was one of us until just ten days ago, is getting some flack just for being a part of the new site.
Update: Here's more reactions from B5 bloggers:
And some harsher words from others:

FishbowlLA has a Q&A with Joseph Weisberg, the author of An Ordinary Spy, an espionage novel that was recently optioned by Oscar-winning screenwriter/producer Paul Haggis and Oscar-nominated producer Michael Nozik for the movies. In the interview, Weisberg, a former CIA agent, discusses how redacting several passages in his novel on his own, even before the agency conducted its own security review of his manuscript, didn't let him entirely off the hook:
"What constitutes classified material is in itself a complicated question, and I think the best answer is, nobody really knows. Classified does not mean secret. In fact, most of what the CIA had me take out of my book was information that is widely known. It's classified not because it's secret, but because they don't want the information confirmed by an ex-Agency employee."
As for how Haggis, the writer/director of Crash, got interested in An Ordinary Spy, Weisberg admits, "Believe it or not, I don't know. Nobody ever told me, and I never asked."

From: http://www.nintendo-insider.com/2013/08/20/call-of-duty-ghosts-releasing-on-wii-u-to-help-console-momentum/
Activision are delivering a Wii U version of Call of Duty: Ghosts in an effort to help Nintendo build momentum behind the console.
"Obviously if they're successful, that's good for our business, that's been our strategy in the past, we've been a very kind of platform agnostic company. We generally try to be wherever our gamers want to play. So we thought if our content can help the Wii U and Nintendo gain some momentum, then we wanted to do that."
The core issue that faces the Wii U here though is; are Activision going to take advantage of the expanded gameplay opportunities provided by the Wii U gamepad, or are they just going to port the title to another platform? They're already releasing on Xbox 360 and PS3, so it's not like they're having to take a major step backwards from a solely next-gen title to satisfy the many hardware limitations of the Wii U.
Nintendo have painted themselves into a corner somewhat with the gamepad; while the Wii remote was catered to because of the ubiquity of the console, the Wii U gamepad feels much like an albatross; a still unproven method of interacting in real time with a first screen experience which forces developers to shoehorn and create features for it. It leaves third party developers with a problem on their hands when they want to port a multi-platform title to the system, as they have to completely invent new functionality for the thing. Again, with the Wii this wasn't so much of an issue, because they were getting access to 100 million users. With the Wii U - largely due to of Nintendo's staggering mismanagement of their flagship console - that install base is less than 4 million. Hardly worth bothering about.
Can the sheer brand power of Call of Duty really reverse that? It would be amazing if it could, but I'm not so sure.

He rebounds, he's athletic, he can score, he is also very young. And He will probably come off the bench, and be solid, with potential to be really good. Listen, Ridnour and DWill are amazing returns for Bargnani right now..
Derrick Williams and Michael Beasley put the most effort into their NCAA careers and in the workouts leading up to the draft and have been coasting ever since.
As for Verejao, he has been consistent when not working through injuries. Yes, he puts up great stats on a bad team, but don't forget he put up good stats on a very good Cleveland team just a few seasons ago.
I love how we would have to include young talent just to get rid of this guy. Lamar Odom his ass, and tell him to go sit in Italy till we can amnesty him.
my favourite part:
"Michael Beasley is a hybrid of so many players past and present, and is as much of a sure thing that we've seen in the draft since Tim Duncan.
He combines Charles Barkley's rebounding as an undersized power forward, Antawn Jamison's versatility and ability to score from anywhere on the floor, Shawn Marion's explosive leaping and offensive rebounding talents, and Carmelo Anthony's quick first step and strength. I am not saying what Beasley could become; I am listing what Beasley is right now."
While looking over past mocks for 08 I noticed that Bayless was near universally ranked higher than Westbrook. Just goes to show you never can tell:
Durant and Harden might have been givens but Presti surprised many with the Westbrook selection and most had no clue about Ibaka. There are certainly some uncontrollable events that led to Durant and Harden but Presti had full control on Westbrook and Ibaka.
If Beasley were anywhere near what some of his predraft predictions were saying he'd of taken the starting spot from day one. Wade needed help carrying the scoring load more than anything else on that team. MB was given chances in Miami, he started 19 games and played an average of 24.8 minutes. He wasn't buried on the bench. At any rate it's looking like he cleaned up his act for his single college season and then gone back to more of what he was in HS: a talented scorer who is too small to play PF, too slow to play SF, not interested in playing D and not interested in maintaining focus without the ball in his hands. He has shown little growth, lack of discipline and focus issue. These were the red flags. They were right. 5 years, 3 teams (including a wide open window of opportunity in PHX) and he keeps falling on his face. NO THANK YOU. You really think he's a good idea after 7 years of Andrea?
Thats alot more questions that Randolph had.
I am OK with this being basically a popularity contest; we all have soft spots for certain type of players.

I had an endoscopic brow lift with bleph (upper) on January 8, 2013 and have had air and some fluid trapped beneath my scalp along with numbness. Is this normal? If so, how long before it starts to go away? I cannot find any information on this in my research.
Is It Normal to Have Air Trapped Beneath the Scalp After Brow Lift Surgery?
Doctor Answers 12
Air under scalp after endoscopic browlift
This is very common. The air and fluid should resolve in a few weeks or so. The numbness may take a while longer. Nerves are very hard to predict. Some patients may have a little less feeling in an area or two, but it is usually well tolerated.

Air under scalp after brow surgery
In the first few days after surgery, it isn't unusual to have some air under the scalp. This usually goes away by a week. The blood under the scalp, depending on how much accumulated, can last longer. Your surgeon can evaluate you to determine if your healing isn't on track.
Air in Scalp After Brow Lift
It would be completely expected to have air under your scalp following a brow lift procedure. Your body should reabsorb the air in a very short period of time.

Air trapping after brow lift is normal in short term
Thanks for your question
It is completely normal to have some air trapping under your skin after browlifting surgery. The air should resolve a few weeks after surgery as the area decompresses over time. The numbness of your scalp is also common and this could last up to 1 year but gradual improvement will happen over that year. Good luck as you heal.

Air under scalp
Air under scalp and numbness are very common after brow lift surgery. be patient and follow up with your surgeon
Numbness and fluid after Endoscopic Brow lift
Yes, some degree of temporary numbness in the treated area is expected after any surgery, including brow lift and blepharoplasty. Some amounts of trapped fluid (seroma) will be absorbed by the body, while larger amounts may need to be drained by your plastic surgeon in the office. Most of the symptoms you describe typically improve greatly within weeks. Speak with your cosmetic surgeon regarding any concerns. Best of luck.

Healing and Recovery after Browlift
Swelling, bruising, and a little air are all normal to experience after browlift and resolve over the first couple weeks. Scalp numbness is also normal, but may take several months to improve. You should notify your surgeon of any excess swelling or fluid in the postoperative period as this may need intervention, and/or close monitoring.
Scalp Sensations After An Endoscopic Browlift
All of the feelings you are experiencing are completely normal after an endoscopic browlift. I doubt if you have air under the scalp but some fluid is possible. All of that will be absorbed within a few weeks after surgery. The feeling in the scalp will return to normal in a few months.
Learn more: http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com/browlift.html
Swelling is normal
THese sensations are very normal this early after surgery. Air being trapped probably happens more often than we think. All those sensations will improve with time, though the numbness will take the longest.
Air, Fluid, and Numbness after Browlift
Air and fluid sensations may be normal. Hematoma and fluid collection would not be normal. Swelling can be significant after browlift. Numbness may be transient or permanent.

Car crashes into downtown Raleigh Ampitheater
Posted August 22, 2012
Raleigh, N.C. — A Raleigh man wasn't injured Wednesday afternoon after he lost control of his car, crashed through a fence and onto the grounds of the Raleigh Ampitheater downtown.
Police said Devon James Hart, 24, was turning right onto Dawson Street from Cabarrus Street when he crossed two lanes of traffic, ran off the road, struck a tree and crashed his Mazda at the ampitheater.
Hart, who was the only person in the car, told police that when he turned right, the car started traveling left. He said he wasn't able to stop, according to a wreck report.
No other vehicles were involved.
No one was injured.

Hodgson hails man-of-the-match Zamora
Roy Hodgson hailed Bobby Zamora's match-winning performance after Fulham booked their place in the knockout stages of the Europa League with a 3-2 win at Basel.
Zamora, pinpointed last week by Hodgson as just the kind of player England will need at the World Cup, struck twice just before the interval and ran the Basel defence ragged. The much-maligned striker has now scored four in his last three games and nine this season to answer his critics.
"Bobby Zamora carried on from where he left off in the Premier League,'' he said. "I thought he was very unlucky to have a first goal ruled out for offside, and he was a real thorn in the flesh of the Basel defence.
"I took him off as a precaution, he had a slight problem with his back. But he's got to be delighted with his performance. Bobby is one of our more popular players, he has a chant of his own and the fans seem to appreciate and like him.
"The one criticism is he hasn't scored enough goals but nine goals is a pretty good return for any forward. We were pretty good value tonight for the goals we scored and we could have scored more.''
The draw for the first knockout round is on Friday and, although Fulham cannot draw Liverpool, they could be paired with the likes of Juventus or Atletico Madrid who also dropped out of the Champions League.
Hodgson has consistently prioritised the Barclays Premier League ahead of Europe and he started tonight with Brede Hangeland, Clint Dempsey and Damien Duff on the bench in preparation for Saturday's clash with Manchester United.
"I don't know whether I am enthusiastic (now we have qualified), I am very satisfied. I am particularly pleased for the fans,'' Hodgson said. "I walked around Basel today and I was stopped by fans saying how much they were enjoying the adventure. I am looking forward to the next round, the draw to see who we get and then we see how far we can go.
"I wouldn't mind playing Juventus. We have done more than we set out to do. It's been a bonus so far and now we face an even bigger bonus.''

text: How do I move files from the main hard drive on my tab to my SD card? I have put a few movies on my tab via dropbox. I opened up dropbox and in the dropdown, used the "move to SD card" button. Despite doing this, the SD card is as empty as the day I bought it, but the movie is now taking up space on the tab's primary hard drive. Unfortunately, its a microSD card, so i can't just plug it in to the computer to move stuff manually from the computer to the SD card. I want a simple "windows explorer" type program where I can move files from one directory to another. Why don't I have this? How do I get crap onto the microSD card? How do I keep from clogging the hell out of my tablet? AND WHY ISN'T THIS SIMPLE? (If it is simple, then I'm thrilled to be embarrassed!)

High-Tech, High Hopes
An Industry In Its Infancy Takes Stock and Looks Forward.
Yes, tech stocks tanked this year. But 2001 was also the year that a potential 3 million television viewers heard this from Computer Chronicles host Stewart Cheifet: "You will be surprised to find out that there are quite a few innovative high-tech startups here in the 50th state and many well-financed cutting-edge research and development projects here." It was one of a number of recent events and accomplishments that have given heart to Hawaii's high technology pioneers.
"We are just starting to even be a blip," says Jeanne Schultz about the global high-technology radar. Schultz chairs the High Technology Trade Association (HTTA), a statewide organization of businesses that was formed to support Hawaii's growing technology industry and has identified five broad industry segments:
– IT/Telecom/Software
– Biotechnology
– Health & Medical Technology
– Ocean/Earth/Space Sciences
– Dual Use
"Five years ago, we were all over the board. We hadn't even segmented into what Hawaii can do well. Now we've come to that point of having these five major areas, and now what we are all talking about is okay, now what niches do we play?" says Schultz.
The report proclaimed, "In the New Economy, states' economic success will increasingly be determined by how effectively they can spur technological innovation, entrepreneurship, education, specialized skills, and the transition of all organization — public and private – from bureaucratic hierarchies to learning networks."In 1999, the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI), a Democratic Party-leaning think tank and New Economy proponent, produced the first new economy index of the 50 states. Hawaii was just about average, ranked 26 overall for 17 indicators such as "Workforce Education" and "High Tech Jobs." Massachusetts topped the list of states followed by California, then Colorado. West Virginia, Arkansas and Mississippi brought up the tail end.
Schultz says, "If you just rank us with states with technology, we're small. We don't have the same critical mass as an Austin (Texas, metro No. 2) or a Raleigh-Durham, (N. C., metro No. 4). But just to get recognized as a place that does technology is our first goal."In April 2001, PPI ranked the 50 most-populated metropolitan areas in the nation according to 16 economic indicators. The top three were, not surprisingly, SiliconValley/San Francisco; Austin and Seattle. Those scoring lowest include Grand Rapids, Mich., San Antonio and Jacksonville, Fla.
Right now the only local measures of Hawaii's High Tech Industry are done by the High Tech Development Corp. (HTDC) and by the state Dept. of Business Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT). Each uses a different definition of high technology. HTDC is mandated by statute to survey the high-tech community periodically. This year it contracted with Mattson Sunderland Research and Planning Associate Inc. The firm surveyed 774 local companies, estimated to be the "potential universe of high technology organizations in Hawaii."
"I think we're trying to grow the industry as big and as fast as we can and I think that's going to be a continuous effort of aggressive legislation, promoting entrepreneurship, helping startups, promoting ourselves as a place to do business and letting the world know what we have to offer," she says.HTDC estimates that 719 high technology firms employed nearly 18,000 people in Hawaii in 2000, generating $2.5 billion in revenue. The number of businesses is projected to exceed 800 by 2002 and generate more than $2.7 billion in revenue. HTDC Executive Director Nola Miyasaki says she doesn't have a dollar figure goal in mind for the industry, but thinks it is in a good place today.
It's hard to let the world know, when other destinations are putting dedicated funding into highlighting their tech savvy. "The state does not have a lot of funding to market the technology industry. If you compare Orlando, they just recently went out with a technology and tourism co-branding strategy and they put $9 million behind it. Well, we don't have that kind of money," Miyasaki says.
And companies here should be looking outward, according to Tung Bui, the University of Hawaii's Matson Distinguished Professor of Global business and author of Hawaii's first report on e-commerce. He says in order for our high-tech industry to move to the next level, companies here must partner with larger global companies and institutions. "Technology is a means, but not an end," says Bui. "You really need to find a killer application in order to succeed. So I think that one of the areas to dig into in which to find a killer application is still in one of the things that we have been doing best, tourism."One thing HTDC is contributing to the marketing mix is its Web page www.hitechhawaii.com, which has been redesigned by local company RevaComm to be a clearinghouse for Hawaii's high technology industry. RevaComm spokesperson Cari Constanzo Kapur says it is a portal to anyone interested in doing high-tech work in Hawaii and markets Hawaii as the premiere destination for high technology. "There exists no other site with such comprehensive information," says Kapur.
Schultz concurs that the technology and tourism sectors need to work more closely together and that steps are being taken to familiarize both sides. This is important she says because while tech may grow it will never replace Hawaii's mainstay. "There are some people that say (high tech) is going to bypass tourism. I don't see that happening in my lifetime. I think tourism is going to remain our major industry. I think that technology will be at least as big as agriculture and probably will surpass agriculture."
Edward Young is a business-banking officer for City Bank focusing on entrepreneurs in what the bank calls "targeted industries" that encompass much of the high-tech universe. He says local expectations for the industry in Hawaii are too high right now, pointing out that Silicon Valley was built over more than a decade. While he's bullish on Hawaii's high technology industry, he sees it as a mere infant today.
"That's why I want to help build the technology, the emerging growth industries so there's something there for my son and my daughter. And it's kind of funny, I talk to a lot of people and that's why they're doing it also. To build Hawaii's economy for the future," says Young.
HTTA has been conducting "speak-out" sessions trying to get input from the industry. The findings should be released in November at a planned high-technology summit. Schultz hopes a blueprint will emerge from the statewide sessions for the industry to move forward. She says she'd like to find other ways of benchmarking its growth and favors a model used in Oregon that surveys the industry members every two years.
And in true new-economy fashion, the worry is not just about creating a new technology industry, but making sure that traditional businesses won't lag with innovations that make them better. Says Schultz: "My one concern is that the tech industry is not going to be big enough to prop up the whole economy, so we still have to make structural changes that are going to assist traditional businesses."

College Readiness
Smarter Balanced tests measure student progress on Washington's career and college learning standards.
All Washington students take Smarter Balanced math and English Language Arts (ELA) tests in grades three through eight and in high school. All students took Smarter Balanced tests statewide for the first time in 2015. These tests replaced some pre-existing state assessments. More information about the tests is available on the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction's (OSPI) website.
High school test scores are used for postsecondary planning.
High school students can use their Smarter Balanced test scores to guide them in preparing for college or career training. Educators use Smarter Balanced test scores to ensure students have the support they need during high school to be successful in their postsecondary pathway of choice. Students can use their Smarter Balanced test scores to help them decide which courses to take in grades 11 and 12.
- Level 3 or 4: Students are prepared and on track for college. Students should be encouraged to enroll in dual credit or the next most rigorous advanced course offered by their high school.
- Level 2: Students are not quite on track for college. Students should be encouraged to enroll in a Bridge to College course; or another course in math or English Language Arts designed to give students an intense, year-long learning experience that leads to college readiness.
- Level 1: Students are not yet on track for college. They will need additional, personalized support in high school do develop their postsecondary pathway. Students may need to take pre-college (remedial) courses when they enter college.
Colleges use high school test scores to place students in college-level courses.
Over 250 colleges are using Smarter Balanced test scores as evidence that students are ready for college-level work. All 34 of Washington's public community and technical colleges, all six public baccalaureate institutions, and ten private independent colleges have agreed to consider Smarter Balanced test scores when deciding whether or not students need to take pre-college (remedial) courses. High school graduates who meet the following requirements can skip pre-college (remedial) courses and place directly into entry-level college courses.
- Score a three or four on the high school Smarter Balanced test. Note: the community and technical colleges have extended this agreement to students who enroll in dual-credit courses as high school seniors.
- Take appropriate senior-year English and quantitative (math) coursework.
- Enroll in college in the academic year immediately following high school graduation.
Additional placement testing may be necessary to enroll in higher-level college courses.
Bridge courses create more opportunities for students who score at a level two.
Many high schools are offering Bridge to College courses in math and English Language Arts. These are one-year intensive courses designed to get students college- and career-ready by the time they graduate from high school. High school graduates who meet the following requirements can still skip pre-college (remedial) courses and place directly into entry-level college courses at all 34 of Washington's public and community technical colleges and Eastern Washington University.
- Score a level two on the Smarter Balanced test.
- Complete a Bridge to College course with a "B" grade or better.
These courses are new and may not be offered yet at your high school. A list of participating high schools is on OSPI's website.
