Verizon: iPhone 3GS Cost us Money, Helped Drive Innovation
While all of the 2010 Verizon iPhone/Tablet rumors are still in the air, Verizon has seen a very real loss of profit this last quarter. Their total profit was $3.16 billion, which was down from $3.4 billion one year ago. According to Denny Strigl, Verizon's president, this loss is partly due to AT&T and iPhone 3GS.
blockquote>"When you think about what Apple has done in bringing the iPhone into the marketplace, it truly has accelerated innovation. And as we talk to all of our manufacturers, everybody has come out with their own iconic device, and I think that this has been very good overall for our customers."
Verizon is planning to launch a few iPhone competitors in the near future with the Palm Pre and the new BlackBerry Storm 2, along with some Google Android phones. Make no mistake, those are some nice phones, but none of them have an Apple logo on the back side.
2010 should be a very interesting year...

Verizon: iPhone 3GS Cost us Money, Helped Drive Innovation
It's not just the 3GS. My brother-in-law just gave in to the pressure from his family. This long time Verizon user has switched his family to AT&T and purchased 4 iPhones 3G's @ $99 each.
Hope ya didn't have to kill anyone Dexter.
Our IT department declared iPhone off limits to the network. Then our CIO got one and within weeks, they were iPhone friendly. Verizon isn't talking so tough now. Maybe they'll figure out all those great phones they're talking about aren't in the same class as the iPhone and they'll try harder.
Verizon should have taken the deal when it was on the table. Back in late 2005 Apple approached Verizon with the iphone, but Verizon was to greety and wanted to much of the profits and did not like the iphone's wifi. So Apple passed on verizon and went to AT&T. Since the launch of the iphone AT&T has taken so many of Verizon customers, and now they are hurting. Verizon had their chance and they pased. Very stupid move Verizon, very stupid. FYI I was a verizon customer, then switched to AT&T just for the iPhone.
The problem Verizon is having is that they currently do not have a flagship exclusive phone...AT&T has the iPhone, Sprint the Pre, and T-Mobile the G1 Android...what does Verizon have? The Storm? The EnV series? That is why they are lusting after the Pre so hard. They need a major league player in the game to compete (more than just on the size of their network). As all the consumer research studies have seemingly shown, no one really likes their cell phone provider but they do love their phones. So many people will pick their phone first and then go to that network that provides it if the provider has at least feasible coverage where they live. I left Sprint solely for my iPhone 2 years ago and have no plans to leave as long as the iPhone is on AT&T.
Man, the Palm Pre on Verizon... I am a very happy iPhone 3Gs AT&T customer. I am looking forward to the upcoming battle with the upcoming Palm Pre (Sprint & Verizon) & the HTC Hero. I was a Verizon customer for a while but my bill was always increasing for some reason & with AT&T my bill is the same amount every month. I just find it amazing how Apple only 2 years in the cellphone industry can overtake it so fast.
I don't know why everyone hates on verizon. I've been with them for over 5 years and have never had a problem sure my bill was usually high but I justify it with beautiful service and great data speeds wherever I was (strong Treo 700w and Storm user).
Sure verizon does lock down many features and charge for every penny but with the profits you get new phones every other month and constant upgrades to their network. It is true that I switched to AT&T just for iPhone 3gs but it was mostly due to the palm and blackberry not fulfilling my smartphone needs. if apple was to strike a contract with vzw...I will gladly switch back. No i'm no way affiliated with vzw employment wise, just have been treated well by them.
And another thing verizon made a business decision and they are paying for it but in no way are they stupid. If you were CEO of multibillion dollar service provider and apple approached you with no known cell phone experience would you invest hundreds of thousands on a phone you weren't sure was going to be hot or flop?
Give them a break, until recently iPhone didn't even have copy and paste or voice control for gosh sakes and im pretty sure many phones if not all come with those very simple basic features.
Would you buy a new car from company with no known experience that didn't come with let's say for the sake of comparison, air conditioning or power windows????
Man I just left verizon on Saturday after 12 long hrs. They have really good service but there phones suk I bought the Blackberry storm when it 1st came out with that slow ass OS waited 6mths for the update and it still sucked. So happy to finally have a smart phone that wks. P.S wold still B with verizon if they would have got the iPhone. dumass
Everyone keeps talking about how Verizon is so stupid for not taking the iPhone deal, but you're really looking at it from Verizons perspective. Apple aproached them in 2005 and offered the exclusive deal with all of their rules and had no phone to show them, just a concept. Verizon, the largest cellular provider in the US at the time, wants more specifics but Apples says they can't provide that and won't until a deal is signed. Verizon passes and ATT, who has much less to lose than Verizon, takes a chance on it..signs the deal but doesn't see a phone until 2007!
If Verizon had taken the deal and the phone had been a bust Verizon haters would be talking about how Verizon missed the boat on some other big thing because they went exclusive with a crappy phone.
3.16 billion in profit is hardly hurting, especially in this economy.
@Matt - iPhones are just as secure as any other smart phone...all are actually pretty easily hacked unless you take security precautions at the server level. We institute all of our security features at the BES level so that all communication has to travel through our network (data comms, not voice) SMS is disabled as is MMS...limits the phones effectiveness and still leaves it open to bluetooth hacking, but that requires much more proximity to the device.
@ Perry:
Pretty funny, dude. You love Verizon and had no problems... except a high bill. And everything being locked down. And you switched to AT&T because Verizon didn't have phones you wanted.
And to you, and the others who think Verizon was smart to turn down the deal because of the "risk" - what risk? The original iPhone and the original agreement was for Apple to sell unsubsidized phones (remember $599) that were locked to AT&T and required two year contracts. The original deal was estimated to be 10% of revenue from those customers to be paid to Apple. No sales, no royalty, it's as risk free as they come, unless you are concerned that your profit margin on cellular contracts is less than 10% (yeah right).
It was only later that both sides mutually changed that deal, since 10% was great for Apple, but AT&T had to pay it for months and months and months, and not paying a subsidy was great for AT&T (unheard of, really) - but the high price ($399) might have been limiting sales. So now that all the risk was gone, AT&T pays a royalty like they do to most manufacturers, albeit a higher one since the phone is clearly worth keeping exclusive at any cost, and $200 is way cheaper than 10% of the bill for 2 years. And Apple has a phone to sell for $99 to $299, which at the low end is cheap enough for ANYBODY to buy who is willing to buy a smartphone and at the high end ($299) is not much more than the iPod Touch. Considering how many Smartphone users own an iPod too, it starts to seem like a given that the iPhone is attractive.
I know some of the iPhone App rejections suck... but come on, Verizon disables on board GPS on all but one or two of their phones to make sure you pay $10 a month for TeleNav or get a Garmin. Welcome to life in the cellular world - closed platforms = tradeoffs.
And another thing verizon made a business decision and they are paying for it but in no way are they stupid. If you were CEO of multibillion dollar service provider and apple approached you with no known cell phone experience would you invest hundreds of thousands on a phone you weren't sure was going to be hot or flop?
Give them a break, until recently iPhone didn't even have copy and paste or voice control for gosh sakes and im pretty sure many phones if not all come with those very simple basic features.
Would you buy a new car from company with no known experience that didn't come with let's say for the sake of comparison, air conditioning or power windows????
Ignore the last paragraph of my comment, it was cut and paste from another user's comment helping me to respond. Whoops!
what's so funny? I never once in my reply said I "loved" verizon nor did I say they are "smart" for not signing an agreement with apple. For the sake of argument I was trying to make a point about the whole risk/unknown factor of the deal. Verizon HAD phones I wanted I was very happy when my palm treo 700 was first introduced and with my storm I loved (though yes even after beta updates through crackberry the phone still underperformed) but BES is definitely nothing to be messed with push email on iPhone doesn't come close. But as time went on I discovered iphone did do other things faster and easier than treo/storm so that's why I switched over.
You do make a great point about the 10% to be paid to apple and AT&T not having to pay a subsidy.
I am no way a fan of verizon and how they lock down features like gps as you mentioned but I was glad to be paying for great service. On AT&T I'm constanty cursing about how I have no 3g in my area and how little bars I have whereas I never had those problems with verizon. I work in Boston and live in Fitchburg ma. So while I'm at work yeah great 3g but I have no time to use those to my pleasure and when i'm home wow where's my great service now?
All in all I LOVE apple products and their software and innovative curve but I probably wouldve made the same decision vzw made and yes I would be kicking myself in the arse now. But as I seem to recall apple had it's flops back in the day before Jobs took the controls so I wouldve considered that. Feel free to argue or bash if you please I'm just giving my 2 cents.
I was a long time verizon person, yes I do agree I always had full bars and happy until I needed a smartphone, verizon is a champ 4 dumbphones and can't be beat
but, I'm a grown up now and need a smartphone with wifi!!!!! I love WiFi. I will never in this day and age buy a phone or gadget without Wi-Fi
That's why I left verizon besides the whole Nazi-verizon jacking up my rates and no GPS!!!!!!!!
All their phones even a ton of their smartphones lack basics like that so they blow compared to other carriers and they are still making bad business decisions
I picked up a iPhone 3G last summer and have loved it more then any device ever!! It's glued to my hip and o love having a sim card and being able to swap it out!! Screw CDMA it's a dieing breed anyway go GSM!!!!!! And LTE for the future of Mobile life!
Why is Verizon stupid for passing on the iPhone when it was first offered to them, sight-unseen? How could they ink a deal with no specs, from a company with no prototype? How could Verizon have possibly known about the popularity of an Apple phone?
Hmmm, I don't suppose Apple has had any other game-changing(/creating) devices in recent times. HELLO!!!! iPod, anybody? It's the goto phrase for an entire device. No one refers to mp3 players, thet're refered to as iPods even if they aren't an iPod. Verizon is a bunch of idiots, and unfortunately, it's their customers (yes, like me) who are suffering for it.
And other iconic smartphones? There aren't any. My girlfriend has the Pre, and it seems no better than any other pda/smartphone. Iconic my ass. Verizon is NEVER going to get the iPhone (out of spite, and too little too late, now). Several execs need to be fired over this.
Well.....it seems that the great debate is "is it worth giving up great Verizon customer service and great coverage area to go to AT&T to get the Iphone. I have been a very long time Vertizon happy customer with a Storm. It feels too slow and many days I can't even get on Facebook, due to network error. Now I'm very seriously considering getting the Iphone because when I compared rates, I can get 2 Iphones with the data plans and unlimited tx messaging for the same cost as my verizon storm and a plain razor phone for my daughter.....Now that's a no brainer. mm? I'm really going to miss my verizon techs though that are always super nice!

AUSTIN, Texas - Cal State Northridge advanced a pair of relay teams over the final two days of the NCAA West Region Championships at the University of Texas.
The women's 4x400 relay advanced with a season-best time of 3:37.29. The Matadors claimed the 12th and final spot in the battle to advance to Eugene, Ore. for the National Championships.
Also moving on was the Matador men's 4x100 relay which ran 39.94 to advance. The Big West champions took 10th in the field despite not running its season-best. Northridge had the top time of any team that did not finish in the top three of its heat.
David Reid, who advanced to the semifinals of the 200 meters after running 21.24 in the opening round, finished 20th in the semis in a time of 21.32. Reindell Cole, who advanced to Eugene in the long jump, was 27th in the first round of the 200 meters in 21.33.
Michael Woodham finished 28th in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 14.47.
In the field events for the men, Lance Gonzales finished tied for 34th in the high jump clearing a best of 6-7 (2.01) and Awet Hagos finished tied for 33rd in his first regional appearance in the triple jump. Hagos had a best of 48-11.75 (14.93).
Alex Butler wound up the men's field competition with a 36th place finish in the hammer throw with a best of 181-1 (55.19).
For the women, Shelese Ruffin advanced to the quartefinal of the 400 meters and wound up finishing 15th in a time of 53.67. She also finished competition in the long jump with a best of 19-3.25 (5.87) which left her tied for 31st.
The 4x100 relay wasn't as fortunate as the 4x400 team as the Big West champions finished 21st in a time of 45.86.
Morgan Bogard finished the field events for the Northridge women with a 13th place finish in the hammer. Bogard, who threw a best of 186-10 (56.95), finished just .05 meters out of the 12th and final qualifying spot.
The NCAA Championships will take place in Eugene, Ore. from June 9-12. Hayward Track on the campus of the University of Oregon will hold the national meet, the final NCAA event of the 2010 outdoor season.

Flora Austeen Gilliam the daughter of Dick and Flora (Miller) Gilliam, was born on November 20, 1921 in Pittsburgh, TX. She passed from this life August 24, 2012 in Fort Worth, TX at the age of 90. Austeen was the fifth child of Dick and Flora, with a sister and brother born after her. She used her middle name so as not to be confused with her mother. When most of her brothers were in the military service during World War II, Austeen also decided to serve her country. She joined the Women's Army Corps. She served in the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force, working along with the Commander and future President, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Her duties were classified. When transferred to Italy she had the opportunity to be blessed by the Pope. Austeen worked in communications and actually delivered messages to General Eisenhower. After World War II, Austeen moved to California where she worked at various administrative jobs until her retirement and moved to Oklahoma. Austeen liked stream fishing and rock hunting. She also enjoyed writing poetry. The Daily Times Advocate in Escondido, CA., published her poem "The Way" on January 4, 1964. Austeen was preceded in death by her parents: Dick Gilliam and Flora Miller Gilliam, two brothers: D.A. Gilliam and Benjamin Gilliam. She is survived by three brothers: Jimmy Gilliam of Lawton, Loyd Gilliam of Antlers, Billy Gilliam of Antlers; one sister: Evelyn Gilliam Black of Newark, TX; as well as many other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at 10:00a.m. on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 at Mills & Coffey Chapel with Charlie Mueller officiating. Music included: "Amazing Grace" & "I Can Only Imagine". Interment followed at Oddfellows Cemetery in Antlers. Family and friends may send online condolences at www.millscoffey.com [1].

Cleveland OH
Old Photos and Panoramics of Cleveland, OH
One of our newest collections, we've gathered several photos of Cleveland's historical areas. Various shots of skyscrapers, old hotels, monuments, and railways.
About Cleveland
The city's situation on the lakefront helped it flourish as a center for heavy industry. As a halfway point for iron ore from Minnesota being shipped across the Great Lakes, as well as coal and being carried by rail from the south, Cleveland. Standard Oil was founded in Cleveland in 1870 by John D. Rockefeller, although the headquarters moved to New York City in 1885. Cleveland emerged in the early 20th Century as a leading American manufacturing center, home to numerous major steel producers, and automobile manufacturers.
By 1920, the city's economic prosperity had been catalytic in Cleveland's becoming the nation's fifth largest city. The city also served as a center for the national progressive movement, headed locally by populist Mayor Tom L. Johnson. Many prominent Clevelanders from this era are buried in the historic Lake View Cemetery, including President James A. Garfield, and John D. Rockefeller.

Alex Berezow and Stephen Meyer talk about God and Evolution on the Michael Medved Show
"I believe that demonstrating the existence of intelligent agency with the tools of science is impossible." - Alex Berezow

"I believe that demonstrating the existence of intelligent agency with the tools of science is impossible." - Alex Berezow
In a recent book review published in Christian Century, BioLogos content manager Jim Stump endeavors to reclaim the word "design."
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
When non-believers in France or in Spain read what young-earth creationists are writing about evolution, geology, or astrophysics, they frequently conclude that the Bible is at best an interesting fairy tale.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
At BioLogos, we believe that a serious and faithful reading of Scripture doesn't call for a recent origin to the earth, and we are persuaded that God has shown us through the natural world he created that his creative work began much earlier.
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Design arguments have been around forever and expressed in various ways. Most of them fall into what we call natural theology, which is the process of inferring something about the existence and nature of God by the inspection of nature.
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.

Trident Breast Care Center has recently been recognized as a Certified Quality Breast Center of Excellence in the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers Program™ (NQMBC™).
This distinguished honor represents a commitment by this breast center to provide the highest level of quality breast health care to patients in their community. Trident Breast Care Center is the only facility in the state of South Carolina, and just one of twenty-seven in the United States, to achieve this level of certification.
Measuring and comparing quality performance is essential in assessing patient care and allocating resources where improvement is desired. In today's dynamic health care industry, breast centers are faced with providing quality care while simultaneously keeping costs under control. A center's staff must not only be familiar with existing standards of care, but must also be aware of new advances in technology.
Trident Breast Care Center actively ensures they provide the best possible quality care to breast patients in their community. Trident Breast Care Center provides women of the Lowcountry the most advanced technology available, backed by a compassionate staff of professionals who understand the needs and concerns of women. Their team pairs quality service with a beautiful, peaceful and supportive setting. The superb group of board certified mammography radiologists, registered technologists, and staff are privileged to provide patients with excellent service and care. Their Nurse Navigator provides patients with helpful information and education on their specific breast cancer, along with guidance and support throughout their treatment plan.
The National Quality Measures for Breast Centers™ were developed by referencing the Health Care Advisory Board's Clinical Quality Dash Board for breast centers published in the fall of 2004. The National Quality Measures for Breast Centers™ reflect more than five years of work, which has culminated in the adoption of more than 33 National Quality Indicators™. The National Consortium of Breast Centers promotes excellence in breast health care for the general public through a network of diverse professionals dedicated to the active exchange of ideas and resources.
It serves as an informational resource and provides support services to those rendering care to people with breast diseases through educational programs, newsletters, a national directory and patient forums. It encourages professionals to concentrate and specialize in activities related to breast disease and encourages the development of programs and centers that address breast disease and promote breast health. It facilitates collaborative research opportunities on issues of breast health; and developed a set of core measures to define, improve and sustain quality standards in breast health care programs and for quality performance in all types of breast health care facilities.
For more information regarding the NQMBC™ Program, visit www.breastcare.org.
Trident Health is an HCA hospital system comprised of two acute care hospitals – Trident Medical Center and Summerville Medical Center – as well as Moncks Corner Medical Center. The Joint Commission recently named Trident Health to their list of the nation's top hospitals for quality and safety.

CD Stencil Books
These CD-ROMs contain all of the images shown in the accompanying book. You can browse through the book at your leisure to determine which images best fit your needs. Once you have decided that, you are ready to turn to the CD-ROM. Each image has been scanned at 600 DPI and saved in six different formats - BMP, EPS, GIF, JPEG, PICT, and TIFF. The images can be used in a wide variety of word processing and graphics applications. The most common graphics file formats in use today are EPS, TIFF, and JPEG, and most newer software and hardware should be able to utilize these formats with no problems. PICT and BMP are particularly useful if you have older software. GIF is widely used on the Internet. Refer to your software manual to determine which format is best for you. The IMAGES folder on the CD contains a number of different folders. All of the TIFF images have been placed in one folder, as have all of the PICT, all of the EPS, etc. The images in each of these folders are identical except for file format. Every image has a unique file name in the following format: xxx.xxx. The first 3 or 4 characters of the file name, before the period, correspond to the number printed with the image in the book. The last 3 characters of the file name, after the period, refer to the file format. So, 001.TIF would be the first file in the TIFF folder.

I have heard a lot of people say that they do not wear cashmere because they do not know how to care for it. No need to fear. Here's what you do:
Washing cashmere: Even though the care label reads "dry clean only," it is best to hand wash cashmere. In fact, it will actually make it softer over time. Use a mild detergent like Woolite or baby shampoo. Press out the excess water, but do not wring the sweater. Instead, lay it flat on a towel and reshape it as it dries. It takes days to dry. To lessen the time, you can spin off excess water by putting the sweater or scarf into a large salad spinner.
Storing cashmere: Never hang a sweater (of any kind) on a hanger. This creates shoulder dimples and distorts the overall shape of the sweater due to gravity. Instead, fold it nicely in a drawer. Because moths love to eat cashmere, like they do wool, throw a cedar disk into the drawer. You can purchase cedar disks at Bed, Bath and Beyond or Target.
Wearing cashmere: There is nothing quite like cashmere. Unlike wool, it does not itch or irritate the skin. Instead, it is very soft and luxurious. You can wear cashmere casually with jeans or to an elegant event with a velvet long skirt.
Enjoy a touch of cashmere today and purchase a striped one-of-a-kind, made-to-order recycled cashmere scarf or Beaute Neck Cashmere Sweater from Beckons.

Emergency Information System
- Policy Statement
- Procedures
Policy Statement
Keene State College has contracted with Avtex, Inc. to offer the City Watch Emergency Notification System to the Keene State community. The system is designed to send emergency messages to enrolled campus members via SMS (text) message, cellular telephone and/or e-mail when circumstances dictate. The City Watch system is part of the College's overall communication plan.
The Emergency Notification System (ENS) will be used primarily when a situation exists that presents an imminent danger to the campus and/or to notify the College's Emergency Operations Group of an incident. An "imminent danger" is one that threatens the immediate safety of the campus community, is not anticipated, and failure to provide such a warning may result in serious harm. Examples of such emergencies are a tornado, a chemical or hazardous material spill, or an armed and actively violent person. ENS messages will not be used unless the situation is determined to be imminent and requires immediate action. ENS messages may also be used to notify the campus community about curtailed campus operations.
Information submitted to the City Watch system will be used only for purposes of emergency communication and will not be sold or used for marketing or any purpose other than those mentioned above.
The ENS can be activated through EOP standard protocol and/or through authorization by: the College President; the Vice President of Academic Affairs/Provost; the Vice President of Finance and Planning; the Vice President of Student Affairs; the Vice President of Advancement; the Director of Campus Safety; the Environmental Health and Safety Manager; or the Director of Marketing and Communications.
The ENS will be tested once annually and/or as part of a campus-wide drill. The purpose of the drill is to ensure that the system is in good working order and that campus community members know what actions should be taken in case of emergency.
- In order to receive ENS messages, members of the Keene State College community must enroll online and provide contact information indicating by what means they would like to be notified in case of emergency.

Activation of Emergency Notification System
- When any individual receives a report that an incident has occurred or may occur that presents an imminent danger to campus, they will immediately notify Campus Safety.
- When Campus Safety receives a report that an incident has occurred or may occur that presents an imminent danger to campus, the supervisor on duty or on call will immediately be notified of the threat.
- The supervisor will determine if the incident requires an emergency campus notification via the ENS or if the campus notification can be made effectively via other communication methods.
- If it is determined that the ENS will be used, the supervisor or other authorized City Watch user will log on to the City Watch ENS and send out the appropriate warning notification (see list below).

Chairman Greg Mullis said board member Josh Lurie suggested revisiting goals set at the authority's Strategic Planning Retreat in January. The focus of the group has been on wastewater treatment for the industrial park.
The defeat of the transportation sales tax means the funds for the sewer system considered necessary to attract prospects and a railroad spur are not available.
Lurie said there are other items to work on, including training a sales team to handle prospects. He said Alan Nippert, the owner of the park's sole resident NFI Installation, is interested in being involved.
He also said marketing to attract commercial businesses is another issue to consider.
"Another Ethica would be great for our community. T.J. (Heath) has suggested we need an inventory for commercial and retail buildings," Lurie said.
