Free brochures offered by revamped Hispanic Resource Center
Permanent link
MADISON, Wis. (1/2/08)--The first 100 individuals who register for the list service at the Credit Union National Association's (CUNA) Hispanic Resource Center will receive copies of Las Cooperatives de Ahorro y Credito, a brochure written in Spanish about credit unions. The resource center recently underwent a redesign, which "should help visitors find the information they are looking for faster. It segments content for new visitors, new information, networking tools and additional resources," said Danielle Chatfield, community affairs director for MidStates Educators CU in Columbus, Ohio, and chairman of the advisory group of credit unions overseeing the site's development. The site has received nearly 250,000 hits since it was launched in February 2005. The news section of the site drives monthly traffic, Chatfield said, but she's hoping to stimulate more activity on the site's list service. "Credit unions have had a long history of sharing solutions with each other and that's what we hope the list service will do for credit unions reaching out to service the Hispanic market," she said. "And while we've had an increase in the number of people and discussions taking place on the list service, we think many credit unions may not be aware of that resource." Discussion on the list serve has ranged from topics on individual taxpayer identification numbers to international remittance services. "Reaching out to serve new immigrants is one way credit unions can grow their membership," she said. For more information, use the links.

2007 was the year of the data breach
Permanent link
BOSTON (1/2/08)--Credit unions won't be surprised to learn that the loss or theft of personal data through data breaches soared to unprecedented levels in 2007. And the trend isn't expected to slow down anytime soon. More than 79 million records were reported compromised in the U.S. through Dec. 18, according to the San Diego-based Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC). That's almost a fourfold increase from the nearly 20 million records reported compromised for the entire year in 2006 (
Associated Press
Dec. 30). On a global scale, more than 162 million records were compromised through Dec. 21 both in the U.S. and overseas, compared with 49 million last year, says Attrition.org. Accounting for half those records was the TJX Cos. data breach, says Attrition. It estimates that 94 million records--estimates given by Visa and MasterCard officials--were exposed in the TJX breach, which affected customers of discount stores including T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. However, ITRC estimates the number of records compromised was closer to 46 million--the number TJX acknowledged. The two data breach monitors say the theft trend won't end soon because hackers are a step ahead of security, laptops with sensitive information disappear, and institutions are collecting even more data than ever. Hackers are savvy to a major vulnerability--wireless data transmission--and are learning to bypass security safeguards to eavesdrop. Both companies also said there is an increasing number of incidents in which employees lose sensitive data, through inadequate handling or keeping laptop computers with Social Security numbers on them. ITRC Founder Linda Foley and Executive Director Jay Foley made several predictions for 2008 about identity theft trends. Among them:
* Thieves are getting younger and view identity theft as a lucrative career path; * ID theft will continue to grow internationally with more sophisticated scams designed to trick consumers into divulging their ID information. * Expect an increase in the number of breaches due to poor information handling policies and practices. * Studies will continue to contradict each other about victims, cause and effect, facts and overall cost of identity theft. This will lead to confusion, misguided legislation and governmental actions. * Businesses will develop and implement better ID authentication methods for applicants, including Internet and telephone applications. * ID theft will get more recognition as a crime by law enforcement, and more reports will be written to assist victims in their recovery rights. * Expect more legislative action on the issue of ID theft, including limiting the use of Social Security numbers; and * States and nonprofits will be in a better position to assist victims at no charge.

Michigan leads nation for in-school branches
Permanent link
MADISON, Wis. (1/2/08)--At least 555 schools across the nation operate in-school credit union branches, with Michigan leading the pack, according to year-end data from the Credit Union National Association (CUNA). CUNA's online directory indicates that 169 credit unions in 30 states and the District of Columbia operate in-school branches at all age levels. Several states stand out, including:
* Michigan, with 48 credit unions in 259 schools; * Virginia, with 11 credit unions in 54 schools; * Wisconsin, with 18 credit unions in 42 schools; * Texas, with 13 credit unions in 25 schools; * New York, with four credit unions in 21 schools; and * Massachusetts, with six credit unions in 20 schools.
But because the data is self-reported, the totals are likely understated, said Phil Heckman, CUNA director of youth and young adult programs. "To build a more accurate picture of credit unions' extraordinary efforts to help youth build a savings habit, I encourage each credit union that should be listed in our director to use our online form to report its involvement and keep its record up to date," Heckman said. All reported in-school branches are student-run to some degree. Most offer basic savings accounts and limited withdrawals, and require a visit to a full-service office for other services, according to Heckman. Many credit unions tie their branches to personal finance instruction in the classroom and use teller positions to recruit students for internships. Some have even hired student tellers after graduation, he said. The CUNA directory serves as a resource for credit unions that want to open an in-school branch. "It also helps document the degree to which credit unions put other financial institutions to shame when it comes to engaging youth in learning to set financial goals and take control of their financial futures," Heckman said.

CUs ring in new year of financial ed activities
Permanent link
MADISON, Wis. (1/2/08)--Credit unions are ringing in the new year with financial education programs already underway while others are starting new programs to help members face today's economic realities. Some credit unions are educating consumers in a debt jam with seminars or personal attention. Others are partnering with organizations or teaming with other credit unions and school districts. In Chandler, Arizona, First CU, a $463.7 million asset credit union with 14 branches throughout the state, announced last month it has partnered with Take Charge America, a nonprofit organization that helps consumers with their finances. Their program will offer credit union members new free financial education tools. The services will help members:
* Understand credit scores; * Budget to meet living expenses; * Manage credit card and other unsecured debts; and * Balance checkbooks.
In Florida, Card Services for Credit Unions (CSCU) sponsored a community outreach event at the $479 million asset Suncoast Schools FCU, based in Tampa, to promote financial literacy. CSCU and Visa brought in NFL Pro-Bowler and Tampa Bay Buccaneer Derrick Brooks, who worked with Practical Money Skills for Life to deliver his message to more than 600 Tampa Bay youth. The program provides free money management resources and lesson plans for the home, classroom or at work. "Credit unions have always been on the forefront of educating consumers about money management," said Robert Hackney, CSCU president. "The need for financial literacy in America has never been greater, and credit unions like Suncoast are stepping up to meet this challenge." At Telesis Community CU in Van Nuys, Calif. Patty Marcoux, senior business service officer at the $618.2 million asset credit union, breaks up her workday to teach orphaned teenagers how to manage money (
Los Angeles Daily News
Dec. 24). "It goes hand in hand with what we believe in," Marcoux told the newspaper. "It allows us to teach the kids financial literacy, and that is something Telesis is big on." At Utah's second largest credit union, Mountain America CU, Mick Huerta, bilingual mortgage loan professional, will present a home buying and basic credit seminar series for the public on the first Thursday of each month this year. One of the most important things in preparing for home ownership is to understand how credit works, he said. "Knowing how the system works can help you get better interest rates on credit cards, auto loans and mortgage offers," he said. The Ohio Credit Union League launched its financial education initiative, MoneyAndStuff, in Youngstown. The league sees a direct connection between personal financial illiteracy and the upswing in bankruptcy rates, record debt, and home foreclosures. "We are stepping up our efforts as leaders and collaborators in financial education because the financial health of Ohio's youngest citizens is at risk," said OCUL President Paul Mercer. He noted that credit unions "are investing in brighter futures for the next generation." Ohio's program offers a website resource for parents, educators, public officials, credit unions and the media; targets the most impressionable ages--4 and 5, and 11 and 12; and emphasizes credit concepts and how to manage borrowing. Wisconsin credit unions continue to get kudos for its student program in high schools, says the Wisconsin Credit Union League. Michele Otte, a teacher in the social studies department of Kiel High School, noted that Premier Financial CU, New Holstein, has gone out of its way by providing National Endowment for Financial Education resources and the league's brass/STUDENT PROGRAM personal finance initiative (

Jeffco CU targeted by multiple phish
Permanent link
LAKEWOOD, Colo. (1/2/08)--Jeffco CU in Lakewood shut down its online banking site Friday in response to an e-mail phishing scam that targeted its members. Members received several waves of e-mails that appeared to be from Jeffco CU, stating that their accounts were suspended or had limited access. The e-mails provided a link to a site that looked identical to Jeffco CU's main site. There, members were told to enter their account information. The fraudulent sites have been linked to California, Nevada and Eastern Europe (
Dec. 29). Jeffco CU member Carol Byrd said she thought the e-mail was legitimate until she found out that the scammers tried to use her debit card in Romania. The scammers transferred $1,000 from her account. The amount was later refunded after she stopped the transaction (
Dec. 28). The credit union has posted multiple fraud alerts on its website since Dec. 21 and has added an alert to its telephone directory. Jeffco CU is one of several financial institutions in the area that have been targeted by the scam. "The phish attempts are growing. More and more people are being sent these fradulent e-mails. We are making sure that we get all of these fraudulent websites shut down," according to a statement on the credit union's website. Members who received the phishing e-mails were encouraged to contact the credit union. Jeffco CU would never ask a member to verify personal information via e-mail or in an online form, and would never need to verify credit card information online, the credit union stated on its website. Jeffco CU has $145 million in assets.

On February 14 in the Gaza Strip, Hamas arrested Paul Martin, a British documentary filmmaker, on suspicions that Martin had "committed offenses against Palestinian law… that harms the security of the country." Martin was about to testify on behalf of a Palestinian militant who had been accused of collaborating with Israel.
Martin's arrest and continued detention has raised new concerns about the safety and freedom of foreign journalists working in Gaza. In recent years, these journalists have contended with unusual pressures, including meddling from Hamas security forces, Israeli prohibitions on their entry into Gaza and the danger of getting caught in the crossfire between opposing sides.
Hamas generally does not aggressively interfere with the press—a policy that some analysts see as an effort to improve its reputation in the West. After Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, it helped secure the release of Alan Johnson, a British journalist kidnapped and held for 114 days by a militant group called the Army of Islam.
"[Hamas] has never done anything to me directly," said Erin Cunningham, who has reported from Gaza for multiple American publications. "If I'm out with my camera, they want to know who I am, where I'm from, why I'm shooting, but normally it works out….[By arresting Paul Martin], I think Hamas has crossed a line that presents a danger for the journalists working here."
Some journalists report that Hamas operatives have followed and intimidated them, out of alleged security concerns. Egypt-based reporter Jon Jensen said in a video he produced for Daily News Egypt that he initially enjoyed great freedom of movement in Gaza on a recent visit. However, after his colleague took an innocuous photograph outside a destroyed Hamas prison, they were trailed by Hamas officials and denied access to smuggling tunnels that journalists are typically allowed to visit.
"All because of one poorly framed, out-of-focus picture," Jensen commented in the video.
In the past, other factors have made reporting from Gaza a challenging assignment. After the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began to disintegrate on November 5, 2008, Israel tightened restrictions on journalists' entry into Gaza. When the bombing campaign against Hamas militants commenced on December 27, Israel completely blocked journalists' access to Gaza.
"It was so pathetic," Catrin Ormestad, a Swedish reporter, recalled. "Lots of reporters were standing on the hill [in Sderot] looking there while the Israelis were bombing. It was very frustrating not to have access. On the other hand, it was dangerous to be there."
The Foreign Press Association of Israel said in a statement at the time that Israel's prohibitions "put the state of Israel in the company of a handful of regimes around the world which regularly keep journalists from doing their jobs." Israeli government officials responded that journalists were affected by a broader security decision to close the border and that Gaza was being covered sufficiently by reporters who were already there.
The twenty-two-day war, which ultimately claimed the lives of an estimated 1,400 Gazans and thirteen Israelis, was covered from within Gaza mainly by Palestinian journalists and Western reporters who arrived before Israel blocked their entry. Cunningham was among the few who gained entry to Gaza on January 15, 2009, when Egypt opened the Rafah border crossing to journalists. This was three days before the end of the war.
"There was nowhere that was safe [from Israeli bombs]," she said. "It didn't matter where we went. We finally went to the hospital at Khan Younis, and, on the last day of the war, they bombed literally right outside of the hospital compound."
After the ceasefire was declared, Israel's Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Foreign Press Association's demands, and journalists were once again allowed into Gaza. More than a year later, many journalists say that they feel surprisingly safe in Gaza. When Ormestad visited Gaza last month, few security forces were out in the streets and she noticed "a sense of calm, of quiet."
Journalists from major news organizations can now travel freely between Gaza and Israel with identification cards issued by Israel's Government Press Office. The application process for these cards can take up to three months. Without these press cards, entry is difficult; tourists and casual visitors are not allowed into Gaza from the Israeli or the Egyptian sides.
Unaffiliated journalists have been creative in their efforts to enter Gaza. Some have tried their luck entering as volunteers of humanitarian organizations. More daring freelancers have attempted negotiating a special entry permission at the Rafah crossing, or paid smugglers to take them into Gaza through illegal tunnels.

Pi Kappa Alpha Suspension: Here Are the Rest of the FIU Frat's Incriminating Facebook Posts
Yesterday, Florida International University suspended its Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity over Facebook posts showing drug deals, hazing, and creep shots of naked women -- at least one of them allegedly underage.Pi Kappa Alpha is WINNING!
But the incriminating posts go beyond that unholy trio of offenses to include insulting professors, taunting rival frats, and musing on how adderall (apparently) shrinks your penis.
Here are the rest of the photos that got the Pikes suspended.

Ask the tax adviser By George Saenz Bankrate.com
How to get a W-2 from a company that is out of business
Dear Tax Talk: How do I obtain a copy of a W-2 form from a company that has gone out business? My W-2 still has not arrived. Doug
Dear Doug: You should get your Form W-2 by Jan. 31. Of course, if the company you worked for is out of business, your chances of getting that form are probably drastically reduced.
Companies that go out of business are still responsible to provide employees' W-2s. However, they rarely do. This is because the employer may not possess the knowledge to prepare the tax statement itself or doesn't have the money to pay someone to do it.
If you don't get your Form W-2 by Feb. 15, you can call the Internal Revenue Service to get some assistance. I learned this by calling the IRS and listening to its TeleTax Topic 154. TeleTax is a series of recorded tax topics available by calling (800) 829-4477. A list of available topics is provided in the Form 1040 instructions.
Of course, if you ever tried calling the IRS to get help (other than recorded tax advice) you know it is next to impossible to get through on their lines. I recommend you call early in the morning when you'd rather be sleeping or after 6 p.m. The number is (800) 829-1040.
Prior to calling, you should gather as much information as you can in order to reconstruct your wages and tax withheld. Of course, if your employer gave you pay stubs that showed your gross income and payroll taxes, then you can pretty much rely on this information to come up with your Form W-2.
If your employer was less than thorough when it came to giving you such advice, you're going to have to get more assistance from the IRS. For example, such information can come from your 2000 Form W-2 if it was similar to 2001. Your prior W-2 should also contain an employer identification number that can help the IRS track down the parties that may be responsible for submitting 2001 Forms W-2.
If you have to reconstruct your wages, the IRS may provide you with Form 4852 as a substitute W-2. Form 4852 should also be provided to the Social Security Administration, so you can get credit for FICA tax paid.

Orcutt's Hazardia [Hazardia orcuttii (Gray) Greene]
Listing CNPS List 1B R-E-D Code 3-3-2
State/Federal. Status -- /C2 ASTERACEAE Aug.-Oct.
Global Rank G1G2 State Rank S1.1
Distribution: San Diego County; Baja California, Mexico
Habitat: Open chaparral with Chamise is the habitat for Orcutt's Hazardia at the one known U.S. site (loamy alluvial land of the Huerhuero complex). Diegan Sage Scrub is found on the periphery of this localized population.
Known Sites: A disjunct population of this Baja species is found east of El Camino Real in Encinitas surrounded by a recent housing development.
Thirteen specimens from Baja California are found in the San Diego Natural History Museum's herbarium; south to 31 7' North where collected by Moran (SD 65784) on a mesa 1.5 miles north of Arroyo Salado.
Status: The one known U.S. population is slowly declining; a re-examination in 1989 showed substantial site degradation since viewing the locale three years previously. Inhabitants, especially children, from the newly built residences nearby are now using and expanding footpaths for recreational uses. The potential for accidental fires is substantial. This species is recommended for California Endangered status. Given the degradation at the Encinitas site, it is also recommended that seed by gathered from this population (genetic material may be slightly different in the Baja material given the considerable disjunction) and horticultural material be raised and transplanted into other regionally protected locales. All sites should be protected with adequate buffers.

Hi there,
Well like most of us, i'm trying to loose some weight. I"m active, work out about 4 times a week, Tea Kwon Do 2 times, run about 2 10k twice a week as well. My question is, i get super hungry at night, i go to bed late, usually around 3am and get up about 7 hours later, or less, is it OK to have a meal just before bed time, or is a light snack better? And what sort of meal, i generally stay away from lots of Carbs, and am certainly diet conscious, so i don't want to have what ever i eat at night to turn to fat (though i don't think it would if one's active daily), so what's the best course of action. I also find i get hungrier on days that i've trained. Thanks .

"During my three years here at Barnard, I've grown to appreciate the women's college atmosphere more than I would have ever expected. That was not something high on my list of priorities in the beginning, but as I've gone to school here, I find myself continuously appreciative of all the opportunities that the women's college community affords me. I have also become more interested in feminism and thinking about what that term means to me and how it applies to my daily life, which is another thing that I did not expect. All of the intellectual and social aspects of Barnard have made me think so much more critically about everything I see, so that I now have many more lenses through which to view what I read and the actions I observe."

"Attending school in New York City makes it difficult to draw a clear line between being a college student and a 'real person.' It has personally instilled in me a more independent spirit and a willingness to grasp opportunities that others might reserve until post-graduation, whether that means covering shows at New York Fashion Week or joining a start-up. I find that the city's constant buzz and high energy, rather than exhausting me, more often inspires me to be the best version of myself that I can be. As I plan to live and work in the city along with many Barnard and Columbia alums after graduation, having the chance to build my professional network and to feel so at home here has been priceless."

"My favorite class was my First Year English course (Legacy of the Mediterranean with Professor Vandenburg). It was in this course that the seed for my self-created major, Philosophy of Language, was first planted. While examining and discussing some phenomenal classic texts, Professor Vandenburg masterfully led the class through an analysis of their greater significance. This was the first time in my academic career when I was truly challenged to not only learn and regurgitate theories and ideas, but rather to investigate and explore what their larger meaning was, as well as apply my own thoughts to the mix."

"I had heard the expression 'She's so Barnard!' thrown around since I attended a Barnard admissions panel senior year of high school, and while I didn't know exactly what it meant, I knew that being 'so Barnard' was the ultimate compliment. Being 'so Barnard' isn't about being smart, or being sophisticated, or being sociable (although Barnard women are all of these things); it is about feeling empowered in who you are and having the inner confidence to believe that if you can imagine it, you can achieve it. I am 'so Barnard' because I know in my core that if I have a goal or dream, I will have the ambition, empowerment, and assurance to achieve it."

"Coming to college, I knew that I loved literature and writing, but I had never been taught to closely read a text in a way that illuminates not only the literary devices in use, but also the historical time period, socio-cultural changes, and key psychological and philosophical theories relevant to the author and literary tradition involved. Studying Modernism during my sophomore year of college changed my thinking permanently; I was welcomed into an entirely separate dimension of analyzing text that I never would have known existed. It felt like falling into an expanse of infinite possibility, within which all knowledge, culture, and history could be integrated, traced, and recreated in new ways. It was the first time I had been taught to read in a way I never had before, and I fell deeply in love with the subject that semester."

"Coming from a small Midwestern town and being the first student from my high school to apply to Barnard, I was worried that I wouldn't meet many people who were 'like me.' At Barnard, my first-year roommate became my best friend, and although she and I couldn't be more different, I discovered that my social interactions with others didn't have to depend upon superficial characteristics. My roommate and I bonded on a much deeper level than just our hometowns or extracurricular interests because Barnard encouraged us to challenge each other and grow intellectually through our social relationships. Personally, I have been both supported and challenged at the level of my ideas and actions at Barnard, which in turn has given me the strength to allow myself to be formed by my aspirations, rather than my limitations."

"In high school, I was definitely more shy and self-conscious. After three years at Barnard, I am no longer afraid to speak my mind, nor do I hedge my opinions. Barnard has made me confident in myself as a woman and more at ease in my own skin. I feel that all of this personal growth comes from the environment that Barnard provides. Even though I am challenged in my classes, I still feel comfortable enough to voice my ideas. The Barnard community has also turned me into more of a leader. The confidence I have gained in the classroom has transferred over to my extracurricular activities where I am unafraid to take on projects or responsibilities. Barnard has also made me more aware of the world around me and given me the independence and courage required to pursue unusual opportunities."

Internships: National Council for Research on Women, Stephanie Jones Strategies
"The past three years at Barnard have been incredibly academically stimulating. I find myself more exploratory and curious about fields of knowledge I was not previously inclined to venture into. Through discussions in and out of the classroom, I have been challenged to be a more critical and active thinker. Socially, I have met amazing individuals who have hugely impacted my life and have inspired me to be a better student and person. I have definitely made lifelong friendships. Personally, I have grown as a leader, feminist, and black woman. Through my time at Barnard, I have become more comfortable and confident with who I am. I have developed a better understanding of what my desires, interests, and passions are."

Internships: FADER Label/Cornerstone Media, New York State Psychiatric Institute, University of Oxford Department of Pharmacology
"My favorite thing about Barnard is that there is no 'typical' Barnard student. Barnard women are diverse in so many ways, coming from a huge variety of backgrounds and bringing with them an equally huge variety of interests. With the help of my immediate friends and fellow students, I have broadened my horizons to learn about cultures different from my own, other languages, and individual experiences that challenge me to consider my worldview, and that's just a sampling. While Barnard women are quite diverse, I also enjoy observing the traits that we all share, like a passion for learning and an interest in the world around us."

Internships: Human Rights Watch, Education Update, United States District Court
"The best things about going to school in New York City are the convenience and the opportunities to meet world leaders. My two favorite events of the year are College Night at the Met and the World Leaders Forum. This year I attended the 'Ink Art' panel and College Night's exclusive exhibition in the Metropolitan Museum. I had the privilege of talking to some of the leading artists from China. Also, I had the opportunity to meet three female prime ministers in my first semester at Barnard. Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee has told me in person that a girl could not dream what she could not see. Thus, meeting female leaders in person has absolutely empowered me from the heart to be a bold and beautiful leader myself."

Internships: Hughes Science Pipeline Project, Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at Mount Sinai, Recovery Café
"I chose to attend Barnard because I was torn between wanting a small, liberal arts college that would provide close academic support and attention, and wanting a research-focused university with the resources that only larger institutions can offer. I was thrilled when I realized that Barnard offers the best of both worlds. Additionally, I had my heart set on attending a school in a large city because I knew that during college I wanted to take advantage of internships and volunteering. The last reason I chose to attend Barnard only became clear to me when I toured the College before making my decision. I realized that on Barnard's campus, I was surrounded by strong, independent women who were true leaders, both in and out of the classroom. While I hadn't initially set out to attend a women's college, I realized that my college experience could help me grow not only academically and socially, but also as a female leader in our largely male-run world."
Hometown: Greensboro, North Carolina

Minor: Dance
Additional Designation: Athena Scholar
Activities: Co-Chair for Barnard's Senior Fund, Assistant Artistic Director and dancer in the Columbia Ballet Collaborative, Recruitment Director of Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity, Orientation Leader in the New Student Orientation Program (NSOP), Barnard Dances at Miller, Senior Dance Thesis Showcase, interviewee on "Oprah's Next Chapter with Gloria Steinem," babysitter
Internships: Creative Artists Agency, Carolina Herrera, Warner Music Group, American Ballet Theatre, Barnard Communications Department
"When I first walked through the Barnard gates, I was intimidated and unsure if I belonged. My experience showed me otherwise. Barnard gave me a voice and taught me to own it. The English Department has taught me the power of communication, while the Dance Department has given me the power of performance and ownership of my body. The Athena Scholars Program has given me the tools I need to pursue leadership unabashedly. My Barnard experience has challenged me to do better by providing new perspectives on my beliefs and showing me how to think critically and creatively in all things. It has taught me to live boldly and embrace my failures and successes equally as learning opportunities."

Concept Feedback: The Same, But Different
Tuesday, November 2, 2010 | BY Andrew
However, like any business (and believe it or not, we are one), we need to generate revenue to continue maintaining and improving our website for our members and customers. In order to do that, we've changed the front-end of our site to look and work like an app, taking advantage of our expert feedback system, and focusing more of our outreach on businesses and marketers. In the end, the changes are only visual, and the community is still very much alive (but you will need to get accustomed to the new navigation - look for the Community link).
For those of you who are willing, I need your help! If you have received great feedback by using Concept Feedback (and I hope you have), I need you to help me spread the word to your clients, co-workers and friends. You could write a blog post, send out an e-mail or a tweet, post a banner (more detail below), or stand on a busy street corner with a sandwich board. Or (and this is the best way) you could suggest using Concept Feedback the next time your developing a website for a client. Getting outside, expert opinions on your project will add value to your service and help reassure your client that you are on the right path.
I want to emphasize that we're still committed to growing and developing our community! A lot of you guys have been with us since the early days, watching us experiment with new things, and providing feedback and suggestions along the way. We couldn't have done it without you, so thank you for your support!
If you have questions or suggestions about this transition, my door is wide open. Feel free to call or e-mail at anytime!
Andrew Follett

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of conditions characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and restricted and repetitive behaviours. ASD is a highly heritable disorder involving various genetic determinants. Shank2 (also known as ProSAP1) is a multi-domain scaffolding protein and signalling adaptor enriched at excitatory neuronal synapses, and mutations in the human SHANK2 gene have recently been associated with ASD and intellectual disability. Although ASD-associated genes are being increasingly identified and studied using various approaches, including mouse genetics, further efforts are required to delineate important causal mechanisms with the potential for therapeutic application. Here we show that Shank2-mutant (Shank2(-/-)) mice carrying a mutation identical to the ASD-associated microdeletion in the human SHANK2 gene exhibit ASD-like behaviours including reduced social interaction, reduced social communication by ultrasonic vocalizations, and repetitive jumping. These mice show a marked decrease in NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) glutamate receptor (NMDAR) function. Direct stimulation of NMDARs with D-cycloserine, a partial agonist of NMDARs, normalizes NMDAR function and improves social interaction in Shank2(-/-) mice. Furthermore, treatment of Shank2(-/-) mice with a positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5), which enhances NMDAR function via mGluR5 activation, also normalizes NMDAR function and markedly enhances social interaction. These results suggest that reduced NMDAR function may contribute to the development of ASD-like phenotypes in Shank2(-/-) mice, and mGluR modulation of NMDARs offers a potential strategy to treat ASD.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

28 Feb 2013
A South Cambridgeshire business has been helped to beat the recession thanks to support and funding from a district council Business Support Service.
Delivered by Exemplas, on behalf of South Cambridgeshire District Council, the South Cambridgeshire Business Support Service has been providing free business advice and guidance to eligible business owners and those considering starting a business in a South Cambridgeshire district postcode.
A unique feature of the service is the Business Support Fund, providing up to £1,000 of funding to help businesses access specialist support or training they may not otherwise be able to afford.
Green Heat, a Girton-based domestic and commercial energy efficiency company, had been trading successfully but saw business decrease by 20% as a result of the economic downturn. With new legislative regulations also being introduced, owner and manager Peter Thom knew that changes needed to be made to ensure the business would succeed.
The Green Deal Initiative, the Government's flagship carbon emission reduction policy, was introduced for implementation in January 2013. Peter recognised that the introduction of the Green Deal would have a significant effect on his business and its ability to continue providing many of its services, as it demanded for all of the company's advisers and installers to receive new accreditation that would cost the business in terms of time and money.
However, Peter came across the South Cambridgeshire Business Support Service through his membership with the Federation of Small Businesses, and discovered Green Heat was eligible to receive support to overcome some of these new challenges to his business.
First of all, an experienced Business Adviser from the Business Support Service completed a business diagnostic process with Peter; building an action plan and identifying the solutions needed to take advantage of the new regulations, along with ways to attract new clients and maximise repeat business.
Peter was also advised that Green Heat was eligible to receive funding of up to £1,000 to implement the solutions identified in the action plan. This funding contributed towards the training they required to become Green Deal-accredited, allowing the company to expand the range of services available to new and existing customers.
Peter Thom, Owner and Manager of Green Heat said; "Following a meeting with our Business Adviser, who discussed and analysed the needs and requirements of Green Heat, I was able to access funding to assist with Green Deal training. Without this training we would not be able to offer Green Deal services to new and existing clients which would have certainly affected the future success of our company. I am pleased that South Cambridgeshire District Council is showing their support for local businesses in this way during these difficult times."
Cllr Nick Wright, South Cambridgeshire District Council's cabinet member for economic development, said: "The launch of this business support fund was really well-received as it is stepping in to fill the gap left by others. Supporting businesses is a key objective for the Council and this new drive is building on the successes we have already had".
The Business Support Service is available to anyone who has been running a business within a South Cambridgeshire postcode for at least 12 months and can demonstrate difficulties as a consequence of the recession. Free workshops are available to all SME businesses and individuals considering starting up.
The free service will run until the end of March 2013. For further information call 0844 346 0755 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Blogger was down for over a day. I am sure you noticed. At first my post was gone. Not it is back but the comments are missing from several posts. So I guess for now I am just posting this until I think it might be fixed. Maybe it will never go back to the way it was. I am unsure.

About the $10 A Day Plan
In 2010, the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC and the Early Childhood Educators of BC released a draft plan for an Integrated System of Early Care and Learning in BC. The draft responded to BC's implementation of full school day Kindergarten for 5 year olds and the deepening child care crisis facing BC families.
For over 6 months, thousands of British Columbians engaged in a dialogue about our draft plan. This dialogue helped shape and inform our finalized Community Plan for a Public System of Integrated Early Care and Learning.
The Plan, released in April 2011, offers a concrete, innovative and ambitious way forward and provides a framework for significant and lasting change.
Since its release, the Plan has been enthusiastically endorsed and supported by a growing number of individuals and organizations. These voices are calling on government to adopt and implement the Plan so that children, families, communities and our economy are served by a high quality, universal, democratic and accountable system of early care and learning.
There are 3 ways to endorse the Plan:
- As an individual
- As an organization
- As an academic

Busta Rhymes was asked about his weight in regards to the bet with N.O.R.E., and this was his response-
Complex: So, on a lighter note, no pun intended, I heard that you challenged N.O.R.E to a weight loss competition. Are you concerned with your weight?
Busta Rhymes: Nah, but I'm concerned with being in shape, and I definitely experienced the results of being in shape. And I know how incredible it makes me feel, so when I feel like I'm gaining a little weight, I make a conscious effort to return back to being in shape. Being shape has given me a feeling and an ability to perform in many different areas. [Laughs]

James P. Stevenson, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My father has just had surgery to remove a malignant tumor from the right side of his colon (they removed "half" of the colon, according to the surgeon). In the removal, the surgeon took out 20 lymph nodes around the colon; 12 contained cancer cells. The oncologist has rated my Dad on a "Dukes" scale as a level "C". The doctors are not optimistic. Dad is 71 and in good health until now. Is there a good course of treatment for Dad?
Thank you,
James P. Stevenson, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Hematology/Oncology Division of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Dear M.C.,
Although we cannot comment on your father's specific case. Assuming that the staging information you have presented is correct and complete, the current recommendations are that your father receive a 6-month course of chemotherapy. In general, the drugs which may be given as a first line treatment in a Dukes Level "C" colon cancer are called 5-fluorouracil ("5-FU") and Leucovorin, and may be given intravenously as an outpatient once a week for six consecutive weeks, followed by a two-week break. We know that this chemotherapy regimen significantly increases your father's chances of being cured of his cancer. Also, there are clinical trials that combine other drugs (either irinotecan or oxaliplatin) with this regimen to see if "more is better." Your father may be a good candidate for these clinical trials: his oncologist could tell you if they are available in your area.
Mar 5, 2015 - In patients with synchronous stage IV colorectal cancer who receive up-front modern combination chemotherapy, immediate colon surgery to remove the primary tumor is seldom necessary, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held from May 29 to June 2 in Orlando, Fla. These findings accompanied several other studies presented at the conference focusing on treatment of gastrointestinal cancers.

10 Feb 08
Fire crews searching a fire scene near Waverly found a human body during a Saturday morning search.
Wood County Coroner Mike St. Clair said the body was found around 11 a.m. Saturday. St. Clair and the firefighters were on the scene until 6 p.m.
We have determined the remains are human and they have been sent to the medical examiners office in Charleston, he said. It could take 10 days to a month before they are able to identify the body.
St. Clair said searchers spent the rest of the day sifting through debris on the scene.
The fire occurred Thursday at an abandoned farmhouse on West Virginia 31 near Waverly. The property is owned by Marvin Petty, the father of Judith Petty, who went missing Wednesday evening, according to Parkersburg police.

Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout
Photograph by Jay Fleming
These Yellowstone cutthroats have swum up the Lamar River drainage to deposit their eggs in the gravel of a streambed. This spring and early summer spawning pilgrimage makes the fish vulnerable to predators like eagles, bears, and otters.
Native Yellowstone cutthroats (Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri) have recently faced a new enemy in the form of invasive lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), which are larger fish that prey on them.
—Cathy Newman

Lake Trout Eggs
Photograph by Jay Fleming
For invasive lake trout in Yellowstone Lake conditions are ideal, including the presence of a bottom surface optimal for depositing eggs. Here, a type of crustacean called a scud nestles between a rock and lake trout eggs. The translucent yellow eggs are viable; the white eggs are not.

Netting Invaders

Without aggressive management, the population of Yellowstone cutthroats could be decimated. To suppress the population of lake trout, the National Park Service engaged a contract fishing company to net them. Cutthroats are removed carefully from the traps and thrown back. Lake trout are removed and killed. Last year about 300,000 of the non-native intruders were taken from the lake.

Trout Transmission

Beginning in 2011, transmitters were surgically implanted in more than 200 lake trout. It is hoped the research will allow biologists to pinpoint spawning grounds in order to increase the success of suppression efforts.

Fish out of Water

Kevin Osantowski, a fisheries technician with the environmental group Yellowstone Coalition, holds a lake trout netted on a National Park Service boat. Lake trout outweigh and outlive cutthroats. They also prey on their smaller cousins and one lake trout can consume some 40 cutthroats in the course of a year.

Report on RPA lost data incident fuels claims of cover up
DEFRA is facing renewed accusations of a cover up, after it emerged that Rural Payments Agency (RPA) tapes potentially containing farmers' personal data have been lost.
A report on the incident published by Defra yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, November 4), revealed that Department officials were first notified about the loss of the tapes on July 23.
The RPA discovered independently in a separate audit in September that the tapes were missing.
Yet Defra Secretary Mr Benn and Farming Minister Jim Fitzpatrick said they were only informed on October 28 last week, after whistleblowers went public on the data loss.
While Mr Benn sought to reassure farmers that 'there was only a low risk that any usable personal data had been lost', the revelation sparked accusations of a cover up by Defra and the RPA and raised further questions over the competence of the RPA.
Shadow Defra Secretary Nick Herbert said the failure of officials to inform Ministers or the public 'looked increasingly like a cover up'.
He also attacked what he described as the 'deliberate stalling' by Ministers this week in publishing the report on the incident and in answering a string of questions he had tabled on the incident, including 'when Mr Fitzpatrick was made aware of the data loss'.
Liberal Democrat Shadow Defra Secretary, Tim Farron said it 'beggars belief that civil servants took six months to inform farmers affected by this staggering loss'.
NFU president Peter Kendall said farmers would be 'horrified' about the incident and 'extremely worried about the vulnerability of their data and in particular their bank details'.
"We also want to know why this was not reported to the Secretary of State and to the industry as soon as the tapes were known to be missing," he said.
The loss, initially of 38 RPA back up tapes and one CD, was discovered during routine checks in the spring by IBM, which had used the tapes in a data centre providing IT services to the RPA.
Three tapes and the CD remain unaccounted for, including two tapes potentially containing farmers' data, such as bank details.
Defra's report on the data loss said Department officials decided formal reporting was 'not warranted' after they were informed because the 'balance of probability' was that both missing tapes likely to contain personal data had been destroyed. It was also established that 'a combination of several low probability events' would have had to arise for the information to be 'misused'.
Notifying farmers whose data might have been on the tapes 'would cause unnecessary alarm and would be disproportionate', they concluded.
Prior to the publication of the report, Mr Benn said the decision by officials not to inform Ministers was made 'in accordance with Cabinet Office guidelines' because the investigation showed the data was 'in code that cannot be read'.
RPA data – some questions answered
Who knew what when?
An IBM audit between March 19 and May 7 revealed that 39 RPA back tapes and one CD could not be located. It was quickly discovered that 19 had been transferred to an Accenture data centre.
On July 23 Defra officials were informed that 20 tapes and one CD were still missing. "Delays appear to have occurred within Defra in reporting the incident to Dera security," the report concluded.
The RPA was not informed but the agency discovered during its own routine audit of IBM in September.
More tapes were accounted for in September leaving ultimately three tapes and one CD unaccounted for. It was ascertained that one tape and the CD did not hold protected personal data. The other two tapes were 'likely' to.
The Defra and RPA Senior Information Risk Owners were informed on October 7. They agreed on October 7 the incident 'did not warrant further reporting'.
Defra Secretary Hilary Benn and Farming Minister Jim Fitzpatrick were informed on October 28.
What information did the tapes contain?
Defra's report into the incident admits two unaccounted for RPA back up tapes 'potentially contained some sensitive'. But IBM and Accenture have been unable to identify exactly what data was on the missing tapes.
Could farmers' details get into the wrong hands?
Highly unlikely, according to Defra. Although there is no documentary evidence to prove it, both tapes potentially containing personal data have probably been destroyed. One was defective and 'suitable for destruction', Defra's report said.
It added that the nature of back up tapes is such that 'specialist equipment, significant detailed knowledge and significant effort' would be required to access the contents of the tapes.
