Western Union Pursues Web-Savvy Consumers08:15 EDT Monday, June 04, 2012 SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire) -- Western Union (NYSE:WU) continues to increasingly cater to the needs of web-savvy customers who want greater convenience in their financial services. To give new consumers an incentive to try its easy and reliable online money transfer service, Western Union is now offering a 'No Transfer Fee' promotion on qualifying transfers. For a limited time, customers can now use www.WesternUnion.com to send money from the U.S. to India, Mexico and the Philippines fee-free*. The promotion is for people who send money online using their online bank accounts. Receivers can pick up the money at any of the more than 100,000 combined Agent locations in India, Mexico and the Philippines. "We began transferring money via the Internet back in 2000 with the goal of reaching what we considered at the time to be non-traditional Western Union users," said Khalid Fellahi, Western Union's Senior Vice President and General Manager, Western Union Digital. "This segment continues to grow and has become a key audience for Western Union. Our strategy is to provide a complete suite of services catering to their needs. This includes the attractive bank-to-bank segment, which complements our traditional retail services." The Western Union© web-based money transfer business is one of the fastest growing areas of the company; experiencing more than 35 percent revenue growth in 2011 and almost 40 percent revenue growth in first quarter 2012. The platform is attracting new customers: over the last 12 months, more than 80 percent of new online customers are new to the company's customer base, including those with established banking relationships. The Internet is just one part of the company's broader digital strategy in which it also seeks to expand its offerings for banked customers and further into the mobile arena and prepaid cards. Fellahi continued, "With our 500,000-location Agent network in 200 countries and territories, brand awareness and unique relationship with underserved markets, Western Union's sits in a solid position at the nexus between cash and digital technologies. We are equipped to help consumers get cash into or out of the financial system, which is a critical capability since cash continues to be a preferred payment method in most of the world. But digital capabilities are also critical to our long term success and WesternUnion.com and our mobile app are cornerstone efforts. After all, they provide the ultimate form of convenience because people can do business with us anytime, day or night." *WESTERN UNION MAKES MONEY FROM CURRENCY EXCHANGE.

Social activist Anna Hazare on Wednesday appealed to the Union Cabinet to come out with a Lokpal Bill that has "the right structure and strong foundation."
Asserting that the government's version of the Bill that was presented in the joint drafting committee meeting fell short of people's expectations, Mr. Hazare said it did not address the day-to-day corruption faced by the common man.
In the expectation that the draft Bill will come up in the meeting of the Union Cabinet on Thursday, Mr. Hazare urged the Cabinet to "change the history of India" by sending a strong Lokpal Bill to Parliament.
"It is a rare opportunity for the United Progressive Alliance government to change the history of India. We sincerely appeal to the Union Cabinet to present a strong Lokpal Bill in Parliament," he said.
According to joint drafting committee member Arvind Kejriwal, Parliament would be able to rectify anomalies in a draft bill that has a strong base. "But if the structure is weak, the Bill will remain ineffective."
The civil society members had sought setting up the Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayukta in the States through the same Bill. They also raised questions about the structure of the Lokpal — whether it would be an 11-member body with all the powers concentrated in it or with delegated powers and functions.
Also, there were questions about the Lokpal's jurisdiction on the entire bureaucracy and on merger of the CBI's anti-corruption branch with the Lokpal.
"The government claims that it wants to tackle high-level corruption. However, none of the large scams of recent times like the Adarsh Housing scam, the Commonwealth Games scam, the Reddy Brothers mining scam, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha scam, the cash-for-vote scam, the fodder scam or the Taj corridor scam is covered by the government's Lokpal," pointed out Prashant Bhushan, also a panel member.
Mr. Hazare has threatened to go on indefinite fast if the government failed to take to Parliament a strong and effective Lokpal Bill.
However, perceptions differ on what is a "strong and effective" Lokpal.

The federal inspector was succinct: Colorado's veterans retirement center at Homelake was little more than "a government-owned flop house." Its "deplorable condition" was, the inspector said, "a public disgrace."
Still, state legislators offered little to save the deteriorating Soldiers and Sailors Home near Monte Vista, allocating just enough money to keep it running.
That was in April 1958.
Things aren't much different today. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs last year cited the 116-year-old facility, now called the State Veterans Center at Homelake, for problems including worn-out water and sanitary lines, a lack of access for the disabled and buildings sagging from age.
Care for Veterans
- Discuss the conditions at Homelake and at other veterans' facilities across the country.
The culprit remains a lack of state funds because of tight budgets.
The 32-acre complex runs on a $4.5 million budget - the bulk paid by federal medical and veteran benefits programs.
The state's share: $169,000.
"It's always been a Band-Aid on the place but never a cure for its disease," said Stephen Kralik, the home's administrator from 1992 to 2000.
Once again, Homelake is at a crossroads. In February, VA officials warned the legislature that if repairs to "unstable" buildings weren't made, Home lake could lose its federal affiliation and financial support.
The state had been admonished by the VA for its quick-fix, "penny-wise, pound-foolish philosophy" - back in 1958.
At the center of the controversy are the 48 nursing-home patients and 44 people in two dozen barracks-style cottages who call Homelake home.
"This place is very important to me," said James Fallis, 73, a Korean War veteran who spends his days growing vegetables in the center's greenhouse. "I don't know where'd I go without it."
Over the years, records show, legislators ignored Homelake's problems or promised better days that never came.
"It was a mess," Jack Carson, 86, said of the cottage he has had for eight years. "I've raised hogs on better floors than the one in this cottage."
The first buildings opened in 1891 to house veterans of the Civil and Indian wars. The first cottages came in 1914.
The challenges at Homelake are in plain view: cracked walls, shifting foundations, disintegrating stonework, bowed floors, corroding wood.
"It looks tired," said Eileen Ford, a Monte Vista business owner who spent time in the 1980s visiting Homelake to see her grandfather, a World War I veteran who died there in 1986.
"I hadn't gone back for 20 years, and when I did last November, what I saw made me sad. Our veterans deserve better," Ford said.
Getting the money to fix it all will not be an easy task, especially when legislators have not offered Homelake significant funding for more than a century.
"We have to find different funding methods," said Viki Manley, director of the Colorado State and Veterans Nursing Homes, which runs Homelake and five other state-owned nursing homes.
"We can't continue to do it the old way," Manley said. "We were up against the economic downturn, so nothing really got done."
Medical and lifestyle care at the home are not at issue, and residents speak highly of the attention and activities they receive.
Federal and state nursing-care inspectors have found little wrong, records show.
"They've got to treat me well," said John Argys, 80, a World War II Army engineer. "Otherwise, I just wouldn't tolerate it."
In response to the latest inspections, Homelake's management has proposed a $3 million renovation campaign.
The state has committed $917,000 to the project. The VA typically contributes two-thirds of such projects, but state officials say it still isn't a sure thing.
"The plan is to remodel every single cottage, gut them and rebuild them inside," Manley said.
Though it would take millions to cure what ails Homelake, Manley remains upbeat: "It's up to us to blaze trails."
Trouble from the start
Homelake's problems began soon after its first resident, Wil liam Gammel, a 63-year-old Civil War private from Denver, arrived Sept. 29, 1891.
Employees went unpaid the first 18 months, Colorado State Archives records show. Then the facility sued in 1893 when the state refused to pay the bills.
Infrastructure troubles came quickly, too. "The sewer system is very defective," Homelake officials told legislators in an 1893 annual report.
"The refuse matter comes back in the new building and it became so foul that it was found necessary to tear out the (toilet) to prevent sickness," they wrote.
The building boom of the 1930s and 1940s brought additional cottages, adding to the tiny village feel. Each cottage held four 100-square-foot single-room apartments with shared bathrooms.
The cottages, now a pair of two-room apartments, were not designed for wheelchair access, a problem by today's standard.
Following VA inspections citing the issue, Homelake has begun retrofitting each cottage.
"We tried to put people in there who did not need wheelchair accessibility," Kralik said.
Though the veterans have changed, the problems have not.
"During the last 10 to 15 years the Colorado Legislature was increasingly reluctant to appropriate money for the operation of the Home and this has resulted in the gradual deterioration of the buildings," the Homelake Board reported to Gov. Stephen McNichols in 1956.
McNichols approached the federal government in 1957 with quiet offers to sell it for use as a school for 300 to 400 Navajo children, according to his official papers at the State Archives.
The facility remained in relative obscurity for the next 40 years. In 1991, the construction began on a three-wing nursing home for 60 patients to meet growing demand from a new wave of aging veterans.
Homelake's cemetery also has its issues: No one can say who's buried under headstones set before the 1960s, officials say. A storm toppled more than 100, and they were replaced randomly.
Residents say they would leave if conditions were bad.
"I love this cottage; it's relaxing and quiet," said Ruth Magnuson, 82, whose husband, George, a World War II veteran, is in the Homelake nursing home.
The 20-foot-by-10-foot apartments are paneled, and monthly rent ranges up to $2,000.
Basil Zeigler, 87, said he's content with his two rooms, his home for the past 10 years.
"It's a good place to be," the World War II Marine said. "It's not supposed to be opulent."

Sky Bridge Waterfall Groups Scenic Area
Last updated by chinatravel at 2015/5/1
Brief introduction to the scenic spot:
Sky Bridge Waterfall Groups Scenic Area covers an area of 50 sq.km., in which the vegetation account for 95%. It enjoys a high reputation of 'the east gate of Wutai Mountain and the garden in west of Beijing and Tianjin; the ancient foundation of north China and its green water irrigates the plains'.
The main body of the park Sky Bridge Waterfall Groups is located in the Sky Bridge ditch (place name). One ditch and nine waterfalls assume the ladder shape being linked together layer upon layer. The fall varies from dozens of meters to hundreds of meters, among which the Galaxy Splashing Waterfall in Yaotai Mountain is as high as 112.5 meters. When gentle breezes come, the waterfall resembles a white satin falling apart into innumerable white hada. Above the waterfall there is a stone bridge by nature, dating back 28 to 29 hundred million years ago. The bridge is 27 meters by 13 meters by 13 meters high. It bestrides the waterfall from south to north. The bridge is the first one to be discovered in the country of metamorphism gneissgranite. The bridge by nature and the Galaxy Waterfall together form a unique geological wonder, with 30 waterfalls in the neighboring ditches and valleys to form the biggest waterfall groups of north China. With splashing beads, it really is a grand view.

Sync Files with Dropbox
Productivity Sauce
Keeping files and documents in sync on multiple computers can be a real pain, but Dropbox offers a clever solution to the problem. This Web-based service allows you to seamlessly sync files and documents across multiple computers, and it offers a few other nifty features to boot.
The key component of the Dropbox service is a client software. Once installed, it sits quietly in the System Tray and syncs files and documents in the Dropbox folder in your home directory with the Dropbox service and all the machines linked to your account. This way, you can work with your files and documents on any linked computer, and changes made to documents and files in the Dropbox folder are automatically synced with the Web service and propagated to the other machines. This means that even if the Dropbox service becomes unavailable or you don't have an Internet connection, you still have access to your documents and can work on them.
Dropbox tracks revisions of each document, so you can easily roll back to a previous version of the document, if needed. Add to this the ability to create shared folders that can be accessed by other users, and you've got an excellent lightweight and user-friendly version tracking and collaboration tool. Dropbox also sports a simple yet functional Web interface which you can use to upload files and documents, create shared folders, track file and document activity, and more.
Getting started with Dropbox is easy. Start with creating a Dropbox account. Download then the client software for your Linux distribution (the service currently offers packages for Ubuntu and Fedora as well as a source code package). After installation, the Dropbox client helps you link the machine to your Dropbox account, creates the Dropbox folder in your home directory (you can change its location in the Preferences window), and performs the initial sync. You can then add, modify, and delete files and documents in the Dropbox folder, and the client takes care of the rest.
Dropbox adds icons to each file and folder in the Dropbox directory to make it easier for you to see its status: the Check green icon means that the document or folder is synced and up-to-date while the blue Sync icon indicates that the synchronization is in progress. To view all revisions of a particular document, right-click on it and choose Dropbox -> Revisions. You can then view the previous versions of the document as well as revert the document to any version you want.
Adding a shared folder is equally easy. Right-click on the folder you want to share (it must be inside the Dropbox directory) and choose Dropbox -> Share. Add then the users to whom you want to grant access to the folder, and you're done.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've travelled a lot this year, and I've just returned home with my wife from our last trip of 2014. It was a whopper of a two-week jaunt starting and ending in Amsterdam and stretching through three other countries. It started a bit over two weeks ago when I left for New York and my wife Ashley left for Nova Scotia to visit her family. We met up a week later in Halifax, drove to my hometown in New Brunswick for a few days' visit with my family, then back to Halifax for a flight to Reykjavik for a three-day vacation in Iceland. Phew!
About a month ago, I wrote about transitioning from Squarespace to my own maintained site. A month has passed, and I thought that I would describe the technical aspects of the site: its migration, what went well, and what you should be on the lookout for if you decide to host on S3.
The talk for my presentation at MBLTDev is up now – while a few things (like CocoaPods Support) have changed since I have the talk, it's still very relevant. Give it a watch if you're interested in working with ReactiveCocoa and Swift.
Last night I experienced my first ever art auction, which was even more exciting because it was the first time I ever got to see real users using the auction kiosk app I've been working on for the past few months. It's a very magical experience to see someone browsing artworks, see one they like, place a bid, and swipe their credit card all with software that I worked on. Very cool.
Almost a year ago, my wife and I decided to move from Toronto to Amsterdam. Why? I can't really remember anymore, but when people ask me I tell them we moved because we wanted to see more of the world and have an adventure.
Well, we certainly have seen more of the world and we certainly have had an adventure.
For the past few months, I've been working on a new iOS app for Artsy, codenamed "Eidolon". I think it's cool for a couple of reasons: it's open source, it's in Swift, and it uses ReactiveCocoa. Now that our team had some time to sit down and reflect on our experience developing it,
A few months ago, Yana Poteeva emailed me about a prospective speaking opportunity in Minsk, Belarus. I was already planning to visit Moscow a few weeks prior to the Minsk conference date, so this would be a second trip to a Russian-speaking country in as many weeks, but I thought it would still be really cool to visit Minsk. I had heard of the city, but knew almost nothing about it. And the whole reason I moved to Europe was to gain exposure to other cultures – Minsk sounded totally different from anything I had seen before.
I just gave a well-received talk at the Mobile Developer & Business Day about teaching and learning here in Minsk. There were some great questions and interesting conversations following the presentation.
We need to talk about language. Certainly, in our industry, but also in our society.
I just finished giving a presentation at MBLTDev, a conference in Moscow about mobile app development. The audience seemed receptive to the message and I got some interesting questions afterward.

CA affirms revocation of Hayden Kho's medical license
More News from Tetch Torres
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—The Court of Appeals upheld the decision of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) revoking the license of Hayden Kho to practice cosmetic surgery.
Associate Justice Edwin Sorongon of the appellate court's 8th division in his decision affirmed the power of the PRC to suspend or revoke a certificate of registration and license of erring professionals.
"The practice of medicine is not a natural right but a privilege bestowed by the State on those who show that they possess, and continue to possess, the qualifications required by the conferment of such privilege," according to the court's June 29 ruling, citing the Basics of Philippine Medical Jurisprudence and Ethics.
Kho, a celebrity cosmetic surgeon, was stripped of his professional license after his videotaped steamy tryst with actress Katrina Halili in 2009 was leaked. Halili, who lost her court case against Kho, had claimed she was not aware the surgeon was recording their sex encounter.
The PRC found Kho, who then was a physician of the Belo Medical Group, Inc. (BMGI), guilty of charges of immorality and dishonorable and unethical conduct, affirming a decision rendered by the Board of Medicine on November 20, 2009. He filed a motion for reconsideration that the PRC denied in a ruling dated February 8, 2010.
Kho, in his appeal said the circulation of the video could not warrant the revocation of his license "because it was concededly not done in relation to the practice of his medical profession."
But the appeals court said that the disqualifying immoral conduct need not be directly connected with the practice of the profession.
"(A) relation between the complained act constituting immorality or dishonorable conduct to the practice of medicine need not exist. It may pertain to life in general as there can be no dichotomy to separate a physician's existence into his professional and personal being."
The appellate court said that the standard of morality expected of medical professionals is quite high since the State recognizes the fact that physicians should protect the health, safety and well-being of the public.

Would You Love Zion National Park As Much If It Were Called Mukuntuweap National Park?
A fascinating story and some interesting comments.
I can't resist a tongue in cheek observation on this subject. Perhaps the name change to "Zion" has helped reduce costs for taxpayers and the tourism industry. Just think of the extra expensive for all these years for larger signs to accommodate the name "Mukuntuweap" instead of the much shorter word "Zion."

Yellowstone National Park: Poster Child For Goofy Gun Laws
JD - you are so wrong! Read the 2nd amendment again. Nowhere does it give you the "right" to CCW or open carry a fire arm, anywhere! The 2nd was established when we were at war and the need to arm citizens against an aggressor was vital to our new nation. The 2nd amendment was not established to allow individuals to protect themselves from wildlife that might choose to eat them while they wander through the woods. The 2nd amendment was not established to allow you to protect yourself from an individual with felonious intent on the streets of New York. The 2nd amendment was established to protect this new nation from aggressors looking to destroy our new democracy.
Going to Olympic National Park this Summer? Plan Ahead Due to Major Bridge Work
When we were out there last summer we usually used the ferries to get places. I was stunned at how smoothly and efficiently (and inexpensively!) the whole procedure was conducted every time. If that was the East Coast it would be anarchy.
As for the Hoh, August is supposed to be comparatively dry, but it was raining buckets when we were there. Unlike the woman in your story, most of the guests at the VC were complaining that their trip was ruined because it was raining. My wife and I spent three hours strolling around the nearly-deserted (on a Saturday in August!) nature trail. There's just something right about walking through old growth in the summer rain.

Yellowstone National Park: Poster Child For Goofy Gun Laws
Mr. Smith,
I appreciate your perspective. I might be underplaying this. I can only go on what I see happening now. The individuals carrying weapons in parks who are getting arrested do not have concealed weapons permits.
Accessibility in the National Park System
In terms of "least accessible" I would nominate Gates of the Arctic Nat. Park & Preserve. It is a vast wilderness park in the central Brooks Range in northern Alaska. Most of it is only accessible by small bush aircraft. It offers some truly rewarding personal or guided float trips that can be combined with short day hikes. I haven't checked lately, but it may be possible to travel into the park in the spring via dog team out of Bettles. Kinda makes me homesick to write about it.
Accessibility in the National Park System
Some quick thoughts:
Canyonlands National Park just might be the most rugged in the Lower 48 (though I'm sure there are other candidates for this distinction). Hiking down to the Great Gallery isn't quite as difficult as the drive out to the trailhead, yet the payoff is incredible. Another great hike in Canyonlands is the Joint Trail in the Chesler Park area.
If you make it to Canyonlands, then you should hike out to Landscape and Double O arches in Arches National Park, and return to your car via the "Primitive Trail." Walking along the top of fins and through sandy washes is a great way to insert yourself into the landscape. It's not a long hike, but it is spectacular.
The Kolob Canyon area of Zion National Park also is worth a look and, if the road ever reopens, the hike to the Carbon Glacier in northwestern Mount Rainier National Park is worthy.
I also love the Avalanche Creek Trail in Glacier.
There's a start for your list, and that's all it is, just a start.
Accessibility in the National Park System
I'd like to know what you travelers consider the LEAST accessible parks. I have polio, which is only getting worse as I get older, so I'd like to see some of the more challenging parks before it's too late.
I figure I can see the grand ones -- Yellowstone, Yosemite -- anytime, because I assume they are fairly accessible. But while I can still hike an unpaved, ungraveled trail, climb a (small) moutain, etc., I'd like to see some of the less-user-friendly parks. For example, hiking out to see the lava flow at Hawaii Volcanoes; exploring the fort at Dry Tortugas...
Any ideas?
A Major Overhaul at Ford's Theatre National Historic Site Raises a Few Eyebrows

I am currently working on a research paper and I am tring to tie Henry Riggs involvement back to the theatre.
Yellowstone National Park: Poster Child For Goofy Gun Laws
The spread of weapons in parks makes what you describe--While I appreciate the "what if's" I can tell you from being a ranger in one of the crown jewels the only time I responded to "shots fired", both in camping areas, resulted in off duty police officers shooting through tent walls because they thought they heard a bear all the more likely. That is what I am worried about. Shooting at night through tent walls in a campground is not responsible gun use, and these officers were far more hiighly trained than the average concealed weapons permit holder.

Yellowstone National Park: Poster Child For Goofy Gun Laws
"If Guns Kill People, Do Pencils Write Mistakes"? This was in the back window of a car in front of me the other day. The point of all of this is people right? Those of us who are charged with day to day operations in parks were ready for the gun law. It's our job. It's also our job to understand intent of the law. While I appreciate the "what if's" I can tell you from being a ranger in one of the crown jewels the only time I responded to "shots fired", both in camping areas, resulted in off duty police officers shooting through tent walls because they thought they heard a bear. I'm far more worried about our "visitors" who carry guns in parks who don't have concealed weapons permits (felons in possession). I'm also far more worried about the "visitors" who consume large quantities of alcohol and careens down the road. I'm far more worried about the "visitor" who takes advantage of the unsuspecting tourist who left their possessions in the car at the trail head….
You want to really see people get upset look at the ATV laws for park units in multiple states. There's a fun one to deal with….
Condors To Be Released into the Wild at Vermilion Cliffs National Monument
In Pinnacles National Monument, California, a number of condors were released in January and February and more are scheduled for this year. You can follow the program there on http://www.nps.gov/pinn/naturescience/updates.htm - the Pinnacles condors formed a joint population with those released at Big Sur, where the further release is halted because their holding pen was destroyed by a forest fire last year. All condors in the pen at the time of the fire could be moved to safety on time. You can find more about the Big Sur condors at this slightly outdated website: http://www.bigsurcalifornia.org/condors.html
The third population - beyond Arizona and Central California - is situated on the Californian/Mexican border. Unfortunatly I can't find a comprehensive website on the program there.

Stimulating the National Parks: Good For the Short-Term, But Then What?
Kurt, thanks for stimulating us with your thoughts on the funding realities the NPS faces. You are correct that the American people hold the future of the NPS and its mission in their hands. Many may say that's an obvious answer with an easy solution, but it presents a huge dilemma for the Service. I am reminded of the Legendary Service training video Bill Wade appeared in while he was superintendent at Shenandoah NP several years ago. In it, he reveals an important finding regarding visitor perceptions of the quality of NPS services. Basically, Wade reported that the key to raising visitor ratings of services - and programs - was to make sure all the bathrooms stalls had toilet paper. A good supply of TP translated into "better" resource education/interpretation, resource management, law enforcement, etc., etc. During my 36 years of service as a volunteer and employee in the NPS, I can assure you that the last thing to go was facility and grounds maintenance. In other words, the Service oversold the visiting public that everything was fine. The last thing to go was the well-stocked bathroom, until the really tough years set in. SO we are left with a public that thinks things are fine. Even today, the Visitor Survey Program, part of the Government Performance and Results Act from the early '90s, constantly reinforces that the vast majority of visitors are quite satisfied with the "quality" of their National Park Service -the only consistent weakness revealed in those surveys has been in concessions operations. Somewhere, there is a huge disconnect between what the NPS is and how it is perceived by most visitors. Part of the problem lies in the fact that most visitors only see developed or "public" areas and not the rest of the "iceberg." A better analogy is Disney World and the underground city that supports it. I could go on about the dependence on volunteers, cooperating associations, and external groups for interpretive services and resource management activities. In addition, resource education/interpretation itself seems to have lost much of its power of advocacy and direction and become a buffet where the visitor chooses his conclusion. I could go on, but this is not the time or place. I'll close by saying that the NPS somehow needs to develop a visitor interface in the park setting that gives them a realistic picture of conditions and needs without alarming them. If the Service can't do it, the NPCA, NPF or other groups need to do so. Adding about 20 positions to NPS's Legislative Branch would be a good start.
March 1st was a Big Day for More Than One Park
Great article about the Buffalo National River. Our family really enjoys going to this area often. Especially in the fall when the trees are changing. We like to find nice, isolated cabins to stay in and go hiking around the area. Hawksbill Crag is one hike that brings you to a rock cropping that sticks out from a bluff. The nice, slow pace and beautiful scenery makes the Buffalo National River a true gem!
The "Yellowstone Creation Myth": A Good Tale, But Little More Than That
I have read the book and absolutely agree that "..it wasn't particularly important for the history that follows..", but that doesn't mean that some sort of BS session conversation didn't occur. "Hey, sure would be a shame to see a town sprout up right here. Should be some kind of park or something...." Move on to other topics and forget about it until years later. No one alive today can know for sure.
Grand Teton National Park: Subterfuge Led to This Masterpiece
I believe that Rockefeller was responsible for other NP and Banff in Canada, Acadia in Maine. He was a great lover of the beauties of America and since he was a very rich man( no income tax) was able to bestow much of the land that has become our NPS.
We owe a lot to the rich robber barons that built lodges and loved the wild places and wanted to protect them for the future.
Acadia has a similar story that they had to force the NP to take it on. The various landowners were worried about logging and wanted to preserve the area and felt that his best method was for it to become a NP.
The "Yellowstone Creation Myth": A Good Tale, But Little More Than That
Read the book; the case is pretty convincing. That doesn't mean that it didn't happen; what does seem evident is that it wasn't the way Langford describes it in the book. They did not immediately set on making the idea happen; Haines traces it to a message from Jay Cooke and Co. to Hayden (I think). The other really sketchy thing is that the actual journal entries for that period are missing, very odd for a guy who took meticulous notes. There's a lot more besides that makes the actual campfire story very sketchy at best - and even in the best case scenario, it wasn't particularly important for the history that follows.

What Would Wildlife Say About Concealed Carry in National Parks?
At the last NRA convention. People were allowed to carry with a CCW. The only venue that disalllowed was when McCain spoke due to Secret Service rules for security. This convention was held in Lousville KY which allows open carry and conceal carry. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/may/18/blogging-gun-porn-nra-convention/
Sorry to have to make this correction but this allegation was false at the last convention.

It is a great and beautiful place. Thanks for the great history lesson about Jackson Hole. It is a very controversial thing that happens when lands are "closed off" and "protected". I too am glad that this place was handled the way it was and continues to be.
The "Yellowstone Creation Myth": A Good Tale, But Little More Than That
Who's to say whether such a conversation ever took place? I have sat around enough campfires to know that most of what is discussed is quickly forgotten. And how many fires did these gentlemen sit around on this trip? Even Mr. Hedges writes that he had the suggestion..." little dreaming that such a thing were possible." Likely, if it did occur, the other members of the party quickly dismissed the idea as little more than a fanciful daydream of no more importance than fantisizing about some saloon girl they had all met. Perhaps too, it was more of a private conversation between Langsford and Hedges. Perhaps it never took place at all. We will never know for sure.
Who among us hasn't had some thought or idea that we figured was a good idea but impossible, so we dismissed it; only to have it come true later. Of course we are scoffed at when we say, "Hey I thought of that!" Years before microwave popcorn came out I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to pop popcorn in the microwave. I only mentioned it to a few close friends because I didn't want to be labeled a nut case. Later, when it came out, I remember saying that it was "my idea", to thunderous laughter of course.

Lovely piece Amy. I like that you followed up on your earlier article with some excellent practical advice!

Last winter, I took a course on pedagogy here at the University of Chicago. One of the assignments was to draft a philosophy of teaching statement, a 1-2 page document that is an important component of any academic job application. In class, we peer edited these essays, and the first thing our professor asked us to do was to point out a phrase, sentence, or paragraph that we found particularly effective in someone else's statement. Two things about this were interesting: (1) The authors of the statements were generally surprised at what was chosen; that is, they didn't know the good parts of their statement were good; (2) I don't remember ever being asked to put the positive aspects of a critique before the negative ones.
This experience led me to rethink the power and utility of positive feedback. Often, critiques (especially of writing or presentation skills) focus exclusively on what didn't work and what needs improvement. Obviously, these are useful things to know, but it can be equally useful to know what not to change. Indeed, anecdotal observations of myself and my colleagues and friends suggest that people are often already aware of what they are doing wrong – but much less certain what they are doing right.
Sometimes in academia it feels like positive feedback is equated with coddling or hand-holding. Rigorous critique is vital to every field of intellectual endeavour, but too often in practice it seems to be equated with abrasive negativity. But far from being some sort of unnecessary concession to the weakness of human ego, I think positive feedback is a powerful tool for improvement.
At this point I'm going to take what at first might seem like a jump to a completely unrelated topic, but stick with me. On November 14, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN) announced an initiative called the Green List. Quite possibly you are familiar with another ICUN initiative, the Red List. Since 1964, this list has tracked the conservation status of species worldwide. It places species into categories ranging from Least Concern through Critically Endangered, as well as providing information on species known to be extinct.
As the name suggests, the Green List serves an opposite function. Considering sites instead of species, the Green List highlights the best-managed protected areas in the world, using a set of criteria including quality of conservation programs, management of tourism, and interactions with indiginous peoples. The first set of Green List sites includes 23 areas in 8 countries.
Why is the Green List important? First, the Green List highlights that good conservation outcomes are possible. They are not inevitable, as should be clear from the fact that most protected areas don't meet Green List standards. Nevertheless, the existence of the Green List shows that human action in the face of environmental threats can make a difference. But the Green List is important for more than just morale.
Just as governments and NGOs depend on the ICUN Red List to determine current or potential negative effects of action or inaction, they can look to the Green List for global standards of conservation success. Obviously, lessons learned from any particular site cannot necessarily be applied elsewhere – complexities of the biological, political, or social environment always make this a challenge – but the creation of global standards of excellence provides an important way to measure conservation effectiveness in concert with human needs. In other words, to improve, we need to know what we are doing right as well as what we are doing wrong.
Here is a Nature article about the Green List: http://www.nature.com/news/green-list-promotes-best-conservation-areas-1.16350

Auburn, AL--With LSU suspending three players, two defensive backs, including their top dee back Tyrann Mathieu, it's a plus for the Tigers who just happen to be making a change at quarterback this week. Following another sluggish outing by Barrett Trotter against the Gators, Gene Chizik's named a new starter at qb for the game in Death Valley.
Gene Chizik
Auburn Head Coach
"And just looking at what is best for Auburn. We're going to start Clint Moseley. Doesn't mean Barrett Trotter doesn't give us a chance to win, just means we've been struggling offensively that last couple of weeks. I don't think that's a secret. I feel like we need a spark there. I feel like in the second half of the Florida game Clint came in and gave us somewhat of a spark you know, when we needed it. I think he's earned the right for the opportunity to start."
Auburn with just 47 points in the three games against South Carolina, Arkansas and Florida, two of those though were wins. That game at LSU 2:30 central.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Dominican crackdown on Haitian migrants sows fear
JIMANI, Dominican Republic The Dominican Republic has deported thousands of illegal immigrants in recent weeks, sowing fear among Haitians living in the country and prompting accusations its government is using a cholera outbreak as a pretext for a crackdown.
In the largest campaign in years to target Haitians living illegally in the Dominican Republic, soldiers and immigration agents have been setting up checkpoints and conducting neighborhood sweeps, detaining anyone without papers and booting them from the country.
Erickner Auguesten, a 36-year-old father of three who has been in the Dominican Republic illegally since 1991, said agents stopped him as he exited a hospital where his pregnant wife was getting a checkup.
"When we left to get some food, the police pulled up and told me to get into the truck," he told The Associated Press in the border town of Jimani. He said a friend who works for the border patrol helped him sneak back in.
Hundreds of thousands of Haitians live at least part-time in the Dominican Republic, enduring frequent discrimination and the constant fear of being deported. A cholera epidemic in Haiti that has killed at least 4,000 people and sickened 200,000 has made matters worse.
Dominican officials eased border controls and halted deportations for humanitarian reasons after the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake near Port-au-Prince that killed an estimated 316,000 people and devastated the already impoverished nation. But right at the one-year anniversary of the quake, the deportations resumed - with greater enforcement than has been seen since 2005.
More than 3,000 people have been handcuffed and sent across the border in the past three weeks, including some legal residents who were simply caught without their documents, according to migrants and advocates.
"They grab them from the streets," said Gustavo Toribio of Border Solidarity, an organization that provides assistance to migrant workers. "They don't care if they have children, if they have property. They only ask them for their documents."
The government denies that any legal residents have been deported. Dominican immigration chief Sigfrido Pared defended the deportations, saying his country cannot be an escape valve for Haitians fleeing extreme poverty and political instability.
The United Nations estimated before the earthquake that some 600,000 Haitians were living illegally in the Dominican Republic, which has a total population of nearly 10 million. Dominican authorities say that number has since grown to 1 million, most of them there illegally.
"It is very easy for some countries or some organizations to criticize the situation in the Dominican Republic," Pared said. "No (other) country in the world has a border with Haiti. No country in the world has a Haitian problem like the Dominican Republic has."
Dominican officials say the immigration crackdown is necessary to prevent the spread of cholera from Haiti, which shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic.
So far there have only been about 300 known cholera cases in the Dominican Republic - with one fatality, a Haitian migrant believed to have contracted the disease back home. Even in Haiti, the disease has slowed in recent weeks amid a nationwide treatment and education campaign.
