If one mistreats an animal repeatedly, the animal eventually escapes, strikes back, or both (not necessarily in that order). Why the mystery that talent, nurtured by a third party HR provider, should feel alienated and commoditized? It seems a completely foreseeable circumstance.
People nowadays able to imitate what companies HR looking for ... call it what you like, being adaptive or pretending ... yes, that's our human survival skills ... probably best we can see peoples talent in sports and musical (singing, etc) ... different with workplace, it's a build up interactive learning process ... we interact to 'others' (people, work partners, job desk, situations, etc) and 'others' interact with us, and how well we manage each of those called as learning and advancing ..... wait a sec, who first called this 'working in the office' as talent, probably that person was using wrong interpretations, and others just exaggerate it over and over again ... silly
I think it depends on the organization. Having worked both private and public sectors, there's a distinct difference in both compensation systems for talent and in recruitment. In business, productivity of an idea leads to profit leads to expansion leads to hiring. In government, hiring is driven by the whims of the voters. In other words, if people want to increase spending on a certain government initiative, they will vote for a politician who supports it. If people want to restrict government spending in a different direction, they vote for a different politician. And of course, there's bond acts and ballot initiatives. A whole morass of things. In any event, talent for a business is guided by the people's rational economic demands. Talent for government is guided by the people's irrational political demands.
On a more serious note, talent that isn't productive is expensive. Talent that is productive is valuable. The question in HR is similar to any fundamental question: are you getting return on investment from your HR policies and hiring or not?
Core Business... real talent knows there is no core business. The core business can change overnight. Real talent is looking for the next core business. Innovation is what real talent is all about... seeing the possible in the impossible.
Real talent is about finding The third alternative to problem solving. The next great breakthrough idea. This is the kind of talent that can not be found in a routine leadership job search.
Great point! Most everyone in the 'Headhunter/HR' business is so superficial, robotic & clueless, it's quite frightening.
Disaster looms..
Sadly today, perhaps far more so in America & Europe, than elsewhere, 'mediocrity' & 'averageness' are being extolled & glorified, like never before.
Perhaps this is a knee-jerk reaction to counter & evade the reality that there is a glaring paucity of intellect & talent, spewing from the stagnant & dithering educational institutions of the West.
While the rest of the world makes intellectual progress in leaps & bounds, cereberal ennui & rank mediocrity seem to plague the West, more & more.
Talent, profficiency & professionalism are getting harder to come by, in the intellectually dissipated & morally decrepit Western societies, with each passing year.
And needless to say, 'Political Correctness' & 'politeness', doesn't help any, to remedy this soaring malaise..
The talent should not be blamed as being impatient and unfaithful. It certainly is not blind servant of the master.It has its own values and ethics.It is not to be treated as a commodity to be purchased.
The disparity between these sentiments and real life is stunning. Yes, every HR manager has now coined themselves, fashionably, 'talent management' experts. However, nothing has changed.
HR personnel (and their kissing cousins the headhunters)are, to put it kindly, clueless about attracting the right people, and it is amazing the kinds of people companies entrust their personnel management to.
Recruitment is normally farmed out to risk-averse headhunters working to a checklist, who wouldn't recognise talent if it fell on their heads. Their own incentives make them recommend the least objectionable rather than the most talented candidates.
HR itself is staffed by the least skilled people in the organisation who typically have no clue about the core business, yet are the first touch point of potential hires. Imagine a procurement manager buying mission-critical supplies who knows nothing about the core business. That's HR.
And while we read this bizarre story about companies looking for talent, tens of thousands of extremely talented and overqualified people are without work today, unable to land interviews, taking low-level 'survival jobs' to pay the bills.
Please. Get real.
Talent today is measured by the ability to change with change. Ideas are lost in the search for ROI because people are running around trying to generate ROI when it is staring them in the face. ROI is Return on Ideas, as I say in my website, ( http://web.me.com/kevingordon/ROI/TAKE.html) does anyone listen? No. Because they are all running around like headless chickens trying to create new laws in a "No rules" society. It's the way human beings feel comfortable. Massive maps of administration processes nobody can either digest or understand. EG: Europarliament. Does anyone know what they do, other than waste money? The antithesis of creativity, and it's killing a whole past generation of experience and a new generation of hope.
In competitive era all multinational corporations are so disparate they madly search talent everywhere or rush to read some pop psychological books,they have money so they hire any so called talented person and when disappointed with him they through out of job.Their definition of talent is vague,they have no idea of real talent so they are making talent business mess.
Talent was faithful until Investment Fund managers started demanding excessive profits to trumpet how successful the Funds are. As a direct result a version of Gresham's Law set in as capable managers were replaced by cheaper, and less experienced managers who could be "trained." Poor middle managers drove out the good managers. Turnover in the company and demonstrated corporate untrustworthiness and has set a bad example. Why would Talent be faithful, when Talent cannot trust most modern greed driven corporations? Especially when the churn requires moving families from here to there. People are more permanent when they are stable.
Trust and reputation building takes time, maybe 10 to 20 years. Eventually some corporations will understand this. Until then, competition will increase market share.

High-fat, low-carb plan may work when other treatments fail, study says
THURSDAY, Jan. 31 (HealthDay News) -- Adults with epilepsy who have failed other treatments may be able to dramatically reduce their number of seizures by following a modified Atkins-like diet, Johns Hopkins researchers report.
The high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet has already been shown to be valuable in controlling seizures in children, and now results from a small study suggest that the diet also works for adults.
"There are a lot of adults with very bad seizures. There are a lot of adults who have failed medicines and are not candidates for other treatments," said lead researcher Dr. Eric H. Kossoff, an assistant professor of neurology and pediatrics at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
For the study, Kossoff's team gave the diet to 30 adults who had unsuccessfully tried at least two anti-convulsant drugs and had an average of 10 seizures a week. The eating plan restricts patients to 15 grams of carbohydrates a day. Most of the calories come from fats such as eggs, meats, oils and heavy cream. In addition, patients are free to eat as much protein and no-carb drinks as they want.
"There was good news and bad news," Kossoff said. "The good news was it worked. The bad news it was tough. About 30 percent of the patients stopped the diet. This happened even in patients who had good seizure control who thought the diet was still too tough to do."
After a month on the diet, half the patients reported suffering 50 percent fewer seizures. At three months, about one-third of the patients cut the frequency of seizures by half.
However, by three months, one-third of the patients had dropped out of the study because they found the diet too restrictive, Kossoff said.
The diet's side effects, such as increases in cholesterol or triglycerides, were mild, Kossoff noted.
After six months on the diet, 14 pa

If client (3DS Max) is on WIndows and Server is linux, we always use the IP address of the LINUX server. I also noticed that the servername in log file is 'domain' but input file is 'something' else.

Modern Fit Skinny Jean: These fabulous 5-pocket jeans feature a new Modern Fit and great-fitting stretch fabrics you'll love.

Rating: 3.25 out of 4 votes cast
Update on these nice looking jeans
I have bought about 8 pair of these jeans different colors. I love them and they fit me perfect! I have read some of the other reviews and they say they run small. Every pair I have bought are true to size. These are skinny jeans made with a slim fit around the hip and thigh area, and everyone is built different that's why it will fit small on some people. Even if you get your normal size, because the cut is different. If a person is a little curvy in that area that may be the reason it fits small. Then you may have to try larger sizes. It is a nice style with a comfortable feel, not stiff like some jeans. I get a lot of compliments when I wear them! :)
San Jose, Ca
These run very small
The fabric is comfortable looking but I can't comment on the wear, as I can't get these jeans on; they run VERY small. I ordered my regular size, a 12, and they are at least one size too small.
" Nice Jeans "
The Review I just read said the jeans fit too small, I also wear size 10 & they fit me perfect, I love them! She must have got a pair of jeans mislabeled like she said. They are very comfortable & not heavy, they look good! :)
These run 1 if not 2 sizes way too small. I wear a size 10 and I couldn't even get the size 12 on. Based on how tight the size 12 was, I doubt I could even squeeze into a size 14. Either they were totally cut wrong, mislabeled or their sizing is WAY OFF for me. Very disappointed.

Ryanair's Deals With Finnish Airport Aren't Illegal Aid, EU Says
July 25 (Bloomberg) -- Ryanair Holdings PLC's deals with Finland's Tampere airport aren't an illegal form of state subsidy, the European Commission said.
The agreements were made on the same terms as a private investor would have accepted and "confer no economic advantage to Ryanair," the EU's antitrust agency said today in an e-mailed statement.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I first bought the 4700 model Pioneer cd player which was a great unit. But doing further research I found a great price on this unit for not too much more than I had paid for the other model. The graphics are a nice touch and the remote control has 0-10 digits for specific skipping around on MP3 cd's.

Hey guys. It's [unknown] from the University of Florida. I've been back from spring break for about two weeks now. And I already wanna go home for summer even though I only have a month and a half left of school, I really want summer to be like, now. I can't believe it's gone so fast, I think I can speak for all 15 of us, when I say that. This has been one of the best parts of our freshmen year of college. For those of you senior girls who have who followed us religiously throughout the year, I am proud to say that it's your turn, seen the little link on the Freshman 15 page. That link is for the Freshman 15 application for the 2012-2013 School Year. And it's now available for you guys to fill up on a [unknown]. I've been getting a lot of emails from girls asking how to stand out on their application. And all I can really say is be yourself. This isn't one of those applications that you really wanna sugar coat. Because if you do, when you go to blog, you're gonna be blogging about a completely different person. One thing I did wanna emphasize though is that, even if you aren't chosen this summer and you still want to blog about your college experience or anything under the sun, do it. Just because they don't pick you doesn't mean you can't blog. As Journalism major, in one of my classes I actually had to make and maintain a blog on Tumblr. And when I got the assignment here I was thinking I already blogged about what I wanna blog about. If I were in the Freshman 15, I would be blogging about my freshman experience. And I can't do that now. What am I gonna do? So, it took me a while but I finally decided to start a DIY Blog, which is a do-it-yourself craft blog. I've made party favors. I've made travel memory stuffs. I've made makeup storage. And it's been really fun. I didn't expect it to be but it has. The great thing about blogging, that the topics are endless. You can insert your opinion and you can pretty talk much about whatever you wanna talk about. Or whatever is happening in your life. People will read it. Trust me, I didn't think my do-it-yourself blog would work at all. I simply just thought I was gonna write it. My instructor was gonna read it and nobody else would. But the reception has been pretty good. The point is that, if you aren't chosen for the Freshman 15, don't lose confidence and think that you aren't good enough to blog about your college experience or anything else you'd like to talk about. And that being said, I wish you luck on your application, I look forward to seeing whose 17 picks and remember to be yourself. Bye guys.

On November 29 the FBI announced the results of its second Bot Roast (see the FBI release).This is the FBI operation responsible for hunting out and attempting tobring to justice cyber criminals involved in cultivating botnets. Thesebotnets, which can call home to millions of computers, are responsiblefor millions of dollars in financial losses at both a corporate andconsumer level. The FBI operation has resulted in the successfulcapture, indictment, and/or sentencing of multiple criminals. In thelong run it may be only a small slice of the world of botnets, but makeno mistake, any gains in fighting this epidemic are well received. TheFBI and those involved should be commended.
Of course, what's a blog entry without the standard "practice safecomputing" comment: Insure your system is patched and protected as bestas possible through the use of a security package. Anything we ascomputer users can do to prevent losses, both in terms of data andeconomically, will help keep cyber criminals like these at bay.

Hi, I am going to knit an afghan with two strands knitting worsted. It consists of squares of different colors knit in long strips. Alternating squares of box pattern and squares of cluster stitch using two colors. Is there another stitch or something different I could use. I don't like the look of cluster stitch maybe it is because I am doubling the wool. Any suggestions?? |

You could make the cluster less bulky with fewer stitches in it. Don't know the directions in your pattern for the stitch, but just do one stitch less in the cluster and see how you like it. I knitted a beautiful afghan for my sister using two strands, and it had two panels of all popcorn stitch. It was really pretty, but I used Caron Simply Soft, which makes up so pretty too. It is not a bulky worsted, and I am sure that made a difference. Of course, you could use another totally different design. Some small cables would look nice using either 2 or 4 stitches. Don't make a big thick one or it pulls the shape of the strip. Seed or moss stitch gives a nice texture. Basket weave would look nice too--p4, k4 for about 4 rows or so, then do the opposite for 4 rows--k4, p4. And repeat for the whole strip. Use 3 or 4 stitches and rows in the basket weave and see if you like it. |
The cluster is P3 tog but do not drop sts off lh needle. Yrn and purl the same 3 sts tog again. Slip sts off lh needle. Cluster st pat 1st row: with color A, K1.*Cluster. K1. Rep from * to end of row. 2nd row: with color B knit. 3rd row: with color B K1 P1 K1. *Cluster K1 Rep from * to last 2 sts P1 K1. 4th row: With color A knit. The afghan consists of patchwork strips in squares of various colors like a quilt. The strips are as follows: With color C cast on 22 sts. Work 26 rows in box st pattern. (K2. P2 for 2 rows and P2 K2 for 2 rows) With color A knit inc 3 sts evenly across. Work cluster pattern for 25 rows with color A and B. Row 53 with A knit dec 3 sts evenly across. With A work box pat for 26 rows. Hope this isn't too much info. Thank you. What do you think small cables would look like with the two colors. Would garter stitch in two colors look alright? |
- Posted by sandra_ferguson (My Page) on Tue, Feb 12, 08 at 10:00
Why don't you work up a little swatch, with small cables, to see what you think of it....ditto for two color garter stitches. (and, you're the only one that needs to think they look 'alright'......your afghan, your decision). |

Jenni Kayne Spring 2013 | Runway
Jenni Kayne Spring 2013
A series of colorful garments tinged with surf culture formed the bulk of Jenni Kayne's Spring 2013 collection. Kayne staged an intimate presentation and talked with editors and other guests while a team of three models posed in a selection of impeccably tailored suit separates and dresses whose colors (sunny yellow and saturated pink) echoed vivid seaside sunsets. A colorblocked dress and jacket combined deep shades of red, blue, and orange in an unexpectedly pleasant mix, while stripes of varying widths covered black and white trousers, shirts, and skirts. The designer's surfing inspiration touched other garments a little more literally: a sporty gray jacket with a drawstring waist and a midriff-baring sleeveless top, in what Kayne's show notes called an "ethnic inspired print," were perfectly primed for the beach.

Double blow for Rovers encounter
Striker Howe missed Saturday's 4-0 thrashing at Brentford after taking a knock to his hip in training last Friday and manager Mark Stimson will leave it to the player to decide whether he is ready to return. Winger Plummer will definitely not be fit after twisting his ankle on Friday. Stimson is likely to make several changes to his starting line-up following the defeat on Saturday which left him "devastated". The Kent club are without a win in their last eight games and are level on points with fourth-bottom Brighton. Curtis Weston is set to return in midfield after being rested against the Bees, while Danny Jackman, Dennis Oli and Mark McCammon are pushing for recalls. Simon King (ankle), Garry Richards (conjunctivitis) and Jacob Erskine (ankle) are all unavailable.

I would suggest that:
keep it simple at Sci-Fi, they use to have good Buffalo wings, burgers etc. ok i just looked at their menu and I don't see the wings anymore
never been to Biergarten or Playhouse
Tony's-my mother always told me if you don't have anything nice to say about something don't say anything at all
San Angel Inn-I had a good shrimp dish once and I think my kids liked the tacos
not sure how the O'hana breakfast works but I don't think there is a huge selection (I don't think you order off a menu because I know you don't for dinner-not sure)
Thanks, I guess I'll just go with the ADR's I have. We kind of fell into the free dining thing, so some of the places I would really want to go were all booked solid, and I refuse to eat at 9:30 PM with a 6 and 5 year old in tow.
Sci-Fi Dinner- food is average but the theme is great
Biergarten Lunch- s'ok
Playhouse Disney BReakfast- haven't tried this but the H&V was average for dinner
Tony's Town Sqaure Lunch- not bad
San Angel Inn Dinner- a personal fave
Ohana Breakfast- excellent for dinner

The Clinical Research, Investigation, and Systems Modeling of Acute Illness (CRISMA) Center is directed by Derek C. Angus MD, MPH. CRISMA Center is a clinical, translational and health services research group focusing on critical illness. The Center now has six programs: Clinical Epidemiology, directed by Sachin Yende, MD, MS; Ethics and Decision-Making, directed by Douglas White, MD, MAS; Systems Medicine, directed by Gilles Clermont MD, MSc; Healthcare Policy and Management, directed by Jeremy Kahn, MD, MS; the new Center for Critical Care Nephrology, directed by John Kellum, MD; and CRISMA-Kids, directed by R Scott Watson, MD, MPH. CRISMA includes adult and pediatric critical care researchers and dedicated research staff that specialize in translational research of the acutely ill. This large team of clinician-scientists, mathematicians, and epidemiologists enjoys superb funding from the NIH and multiple industrial sponsors.
Regarded by many as one of world's foremost translational research groups with 14 core faculty members and over 14 million dollars in federal research funding, CRISMA is actively studying sepsis, a syndrome that affects about 750,000 Americans every year and carries a mortality rate of almost 30 percent, and sepsis-induced organ dysfunction. This team of scientists has published papers in leading journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, Lancet, Critical Care Medicine, the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, Kidney international, and the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
CRISMA also collaborates with industry, advises in clinical trial design and implementation, and mentors clinical and research fellows, most of whom are simultaneously completing advanced training in clinical and health services research through the Masters in Public Health (MPH) program at the Graduate School of Public Health, the Clinical Research Training Program, or the Clinician Educator Training Program.

Yep, wedding Bells will be ringing again, My youngest daughter and her wonderful fiancee are getting married Sunday. She and her fiancee chose to have a small wedding with family. I used heirloom pieces for the table, with touches of green her favorite color.
I had a completely different CP planned.Then I saw these roses Although they are yellow I love the faint green hue on the petals.
The candlelight shots didn't come out the way I hoped. But I think you get the idea.
I wish for good weather for their wedding day and a long and happy life together.. Nana |

This movie looks awsome! I'm not a fan of "mobster" movies but I'm gonna see it! I'm a history freak and I also can't pass up seeing a movie with Channing, Christian, and Johnny! I've started looking up information on John Dillanger and the events that took place will be great for the big screen! Just wish I was on location when they were shooting the movie! Oh well.

iframe height
I have an iframe set up as such:
<iframe name="tourney" src="tourneyonline.php" width="99%" height="45%" frameborder="0"></iframe>
This works perfectly in firefox.. and not in IE.. in IE it doesn't do % of browser.. instead I end up with an extremely large iframe.
I attempted to do it in CSS with a style="width:99%;height:99%;" but not only did this not work in IE, but it made my iframe in firefox extremely small..
Any help appreciated!

Where's the rest of your code? You know that percentages are taken as a percentage of the dimensions of the iframe's parent element and not the browser's viewport, right? If you have a parent element with dimensions of 100×100 pixels, then the iframe's dimensions would be 99×45 pixels and 99×99 pixels based upon your code above.
For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

BRILLIANT love love love!! I have been using it for about 6 months and am soooo happy i discovered it!! I use it 2-3 times a week mixed with water or my cleanser at night generally. I then pat on Rosehip Oil, followed by Nivea face cream and VOILA!!!! Instant glowy, dewy skin which looks even better the next day! If your getting a reaction maybe try a small ammount and use very gentle circular motions or your skin might be ultra sensitive?!? As a Mummy of 40 with 2 young children its nice to have found something that works so well when my time is so limited :))))))
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
So many uses!!
I use it as a natural cleaner for my house, as a soak for baths/body exfoliant, use as a facial exfoliant, for cloth diapers in the bin before they're to be washed, use on bug bites and stings etc....
Seriously another item I have to always have in my house!

I love baking soda so much. i use it 3 times a week and my skin has been so clear, and feels so soft. I found other facial scrubs or face washes always left my skin either feeling too dry, or too oily. this just makes my skin feel so soft and light and airy, i love it! amazing what 2$ can do for you :P
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using baking soda just about daily as my cleanser/gentle exfoliater. I have super dry and sensitive skin. This hasn't irritated my skin at all so far.
I use this a couple of ways.
For daily use I put a small amount in my hand and start adding a small amount of water until it forms a paste. I then LIGHTLY rub it into my entire (damp) face in small circular motions, concentrating most of the product on my t-zone.
I rinse with warm water and again with cool water. I pat my face dry and follow up with a small amount of baby oil to moisturize (not recommended for everyone).
I usually do this after my nightly shower.
The other way I use it is as a mask once a week. I create a paste with the product (same way I did above) and rub it into my t-zone creating an even layer.
I wait 5-10 minutes and then rinse the baking soda off. While rinsing it off, I continue to rub the product GENTLY in circular motions. Rinse again with cool water, and I'm done!
Again my skin is super sensitive and dry. It's very easily irritated and this has not irritated it at all. I was also shocked that it didn't dry my skin out. If you have sensitive skin like myself, I suggest using a very light amount of pressure while massaging this onto your face.
I highly recommend giving this a shot!

i use a tiny bit on the middle of my face around my nose and on my forehead. i mix it with water and leave it on for a few minutes than gently rinse it off. it does sting a little but it clears up my skin better than anything else i've ever tried. i use this as a 'treatment' once a week or so just because i don't think i can handle using it any more frequently.

I have acne on my chin that will not go away and I read on many sites to try a baking soda mask once a week so I did for a couple months and while, it did NOTHING for my acne, I do love how it makes my skin feel after I wash it off, so soft and clean.
I don't LOVE it like everyone else seems to, but I don't hate it either, it's just average for acne treatment.I'd classify it more as a plain exfoliating mask, but that might just be me.
Oh and I recently discovered it makes a good dry shampoo too, gets rid of product build up. Just rub a few handfuls, depending on your hair length/thickness, in your hair, let sit for a few minutes, rinse then follow with a conditioner. (use once or twice a week)
I love using baking soda because it help me with my acne and my acne scars. what I love doing 1 a week is to make baking soda mask for my face all I do is just mix it up with water and appy the paste onto my face.I usally leave it on for 15 min and wash it of. when I wash it off I rub my hands in cicular motions so it can exfoliate my skin .and after that I follow up by my moistrizer

Ok, I was waiting for my skin and everything else to settle with this amazing little gem before I do a review about it.
First, HAIR. Add a TINY TINY AMOUNT...I repeat, TINY AMOUNT to your regular shampoo or add water(whatever you prefer) and rub onto your roots. Let it settle for a min and then rinse with warm water. This is an amazing clarifying shampoo and removed all the product build-up that was weighing down my fine hair. If your hair felt straw-like and squeaky clean. Just towel-dry your hair and add a good deep conditioner or hair oil(if blowdrying) then rinse off if deep-conditioning. T
Teeth, I don't see much of whitening yet but my teeth did feel cleaner when brushing with baking soda and my regular toothpaste. It did look less stained, but only once a week because this would destroy your enamel somehow.
Face, I use it as a scrub and use REALLY LITTLE amount of baking soda and water. I do gentle circular motions to slough off dead skin. BE SURE TO BE REALLY GENTLE and follow up with a good hydrating facial wash and moisturiser(Currently using Hada Labo range). Wow, this did an amazing job to give me smooth skin and purge some millia(sp?) seeds while getting rid of the crazy bumps I have on my chin. My chin has never felt so smooth even with sugar exfoliation. This may not seem abrasive but it's definitely much much more abrasive than sugar and recommended to only do once a week, and not daily.
For those who says to lay off the skin because it damages the acid mantle, you just need to quickly restore the pH balance of the skin by using the right products. My Hada Labo products have super hyaluronic acid and keeps my skin pH balanced as well.
Foot soak, just fill a basin with warm water and drop a couple spoonful of baking soda in. And just soak your feet in bliss, this just relaxes me and soften my feet too. Will be indulging in this once or twice a week because it's a simple joy to be soaking my feet in this.

I am STUNNED!!! I have always bought different scrubs..and they never really got rid of my blackheads. I have alot around my nose and chin. Latley I have been more into affordable and natural beauty products..I just did a spot test and tried it on my chin and let it sit for about 3 minutes..I gently rinsed it off and amazing..blackheads are gone!!! and my skin is glowing. I am shocked that a $1 box of baking soda did this..no more scrubs for me..love this!!!!

Ryerson Conservation Area is one of the best examples of a northern flatwoods forest, a rare northern Illinois landscape. The 552-acre Preserve supports some of Illinois' most pristine woodlands and several state-threatened and endangered species, and offers 6.5 miles of scenic trails that wind through a stately forest to the quiet Des Plaines River. The Welcome Center, opened in 2006, features "green" architecture and was designed using LEED standards. In addition to preserve information, it offers a nature library, exhibits and meeting rooms.
