Product description
The centuries after the end of Roman control of Britain in AD 410 are some of the most vital in Britain's history - yet some of the least understood. "Warlords" brings to life a world of ambition, brutality and violence in a politically fragmented land, and provides a compelling new history of an age that would transform Britain. By comparing the archaeology against the available historical sources for the period, "Warlords" presents a coherent picture of the political and military machinations of the fifth and sixth centuries that laid the foundations of English and Welsh history. Included are the warring personalities of the local leaders and a look at the enigma of King Arthur. Some warlords sought power within the old Roman framework; some used an alternative British approach; and, others exploited the emerging Anglo-Saxon system - but for all warlords, the struggle was for power.

Dan Flavin: Constructed Light Limiting his palette to mass-produced fluorescent tubes of varying lengths and colors, Dan Flavin, who died in 1996, made a career distilling these ubiquitous artifacts of bureaucratic life into their purest form. The result: a body of reserved, minimalist work that at once extracts these relics from their workaday commercial context and reformulates the sites they inhabit with their refulgent glow. As installations, many of Flavin's works are site specific, leaving the stewards of his estate with the thorny question of whether in re-creating his works they are, in effect, creating new works of art. For this show, Tiffany Bell, director of the Dan Flavin catalogue raisonné project, and Steve Morse, who worked as Flavin's chief technician for many years, have chosen several works that rely more on architectural situations than on specific sites. The result is a meditative show that both accentuates and quarrels with the natural grace of their setting. Through October 4 at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, 3716 Washington Boulevard; 314-754-1850 or www.pulitzerarts.org. Hours: noon-5 p.m. Wed., 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat.
Landscape Exhibition Pop. Contemporary. Edgy. Many words come to mind when describing the bill of fare at the Philip Slein Gallery. One term that rarely enters the gallery's lexicon, however, is landscape painting. Until now. This month Philip Slein mounts a landscape exhibition comprising works by ten painters. The artists, who hail from various parts of the Midwest, approach their subjects in a wide range of styles. Some, such as the painterly works of Yingxue Zuo, hew to a strict realism, while others, such as Michael Noland's fantastically psychedelic Blue Glory, give the genre a more narcotic edge. The show includes more straightforward paintings by Frank Stack, Jeff Aeling, Bonnie Murray and Dan Barton, as well as less traditional works by Douglass Freed, Michael Noland, Rosalyn Schwartz, Helene Slavin and Amy Enkleman-Reed. Through July 5 at Philip Slein Gallery, 1319 Washington Avenue; 314-621-4634 (www.philipsleingallery.com). Hours: 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Tue.-Sat.
Take Out Featuring roughly 100 eight-by-ten photographic works, Take Out marks the final show for the Ellen Curlee Gallery. Departure is the theme, and the exhibition addresses the idea on several levels. Curlee commissioned the photographs from a wide variety of artists — painters, videographers and, yes, photographers — asking them to draw inspiration from the notion of decampment. Each of the photos is priced to move at a democratic $100, and if you buy one, you take it down from the wall and walk away with it that very day. The show will dissolve as it progresses, until the gallery's patrons have entirely deconstructed it. 1308A Washington Avenue; 314-241-1299 (www.ellencurleegallery.com). Hours: 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Tue.-Sat.
Things That Matter: Art by Children with Autism The premise: Artistic creation can help children with autism to better express themselves. The disorder, which affects a person's ability to communicate, often includes intense fascinations with things: stoves, Hello Kitty, dinosaurs. Harnessing this fascination, coordinators Bevin Early and Nancy Pierson asked children to make art about their obsessions. So we have a video of a teenager dancing to Willy Wonka's "The Golden Ticket," a collection of found objects from a boy who collects everything he can and repeated self-portraits of a young boy. Also showing: the work of Don Koster and Jen Maigret, the 2007-'08 Cynthia Weese Teaching Fellows at Wash. U.'s Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. Through September 6 (Koster and Maigret) and September 13 (Autism) at the Sheldon Art Galleries, 3648 Washington Boulevard; 314-533-9900 or www.sheldonconcerthall.org). Hours: noon-8 p.m. Tue. and Thu., noon-5 p.m. Wed. and Fri., 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sat.
Brett Williams: A Small Dark Place Brett Williams brings his punk-rock vision of installation video art to Pace Framing's PSTL Window Gallery. For A Small Dark Place, Williams has refashioned the tiny gallery using plywood to create (you guessed it) a small dark place. Inside (you must crawl on your hands and knees to view the video playing inside) Williams has crafted a graphic that looks something like a spinning red onion. The piece is accompanied by a jarring soundtrack filled with slamming doors, bagpipes and dropping chains; the onion-like form spins out of control until it crashes to the sound of the falling chain. The entire affair lasts no more than fifteen seconds — just about as long as Williams thinks the average viewer can stand. Through July 18 at PSTL Window Gallery at Pace Framing, 632 North Grand Boulevard; 314-531-4304 (www.paceframing.com). Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sat.

Dr. Baoku Liu's Ratings
I am currently writing a blog post about how Dr. Liu literally changed my life. He is the most intuitive and brilliant diagnostician. I did not believe that I could be fully healed through acupuncture but time and again he treated my afflictions and, yes, I was healed. The process is intense so be prepared . But he brings total care and commitment to his patients and answers all inquiries. Delve into the process and grow.

I really wish I had a great experience like most reviewers. I came to him with terrible migraines and they only seemed to get worse the more I saw the Dr. I'm sure he's a knowledgeable accupuncturist. Unfortunately his bedside manner is terrible. He found it funny when I said he was causing me excruciating pain. I ended up having to walk out half way through a session :(. I've had Accupuncture before (over 5 years ago), it was never painful and did wonders. Looks like I'm going to have to track down my old accupuncturist!

Dr. Liu is the best acupuncturist. I recently started going through menopause, and I was dealing with the hot flashes ok, but the flashes were starting to come more often and more severe. I then started getting headaches and becoming nauseous. I had no idea, these other ailments could be brought upon by menopause, until I did some research and found other women complaining of the same thing. That was the last straw. I was driving my husband and myself crazy. I had used Dr. Liu in the past for a torn Achilles' tendon, in which he was able to get my flexibility back. I called him and told him my situation, and he said come in and I will make you young again. If you are person who is weak, don't like hair thin size needles, don't like to be touched, or afraid to be uncomfortable this is not for you. This is for people who truly want to get better. Anyway 8 sessions later, and some herbal pills, I can say I have NOT, had a hot flash, nausea, or headache do to menopause at all. I mean nothing. I didn't expect to have no hot flashes, but then he said, I thought that's what you came for. This is my story. All I can say is acupuncture has worked for me, it doesn't work overnight, but you have to give it more than one or two sessions, to see if it really helps you. I'm 46 years young, and Mother Nature threw me for a loop, but so far I'm winning this round.

Dr Liu is a true master acupunturist who saved my life. When I first went to him I almost passed out on the table. I had been suffering with symptoms of dizziness, feeling ****, fainting, nausea and extreme fatigue. I went to emergency room, neurologists, ear doctor, and even other specialists. No one was able to help me, for three months I basically stayed in bed and prayed for everything to go away. I would get a little better and then relapse as soon as I started to get active. After seeing Dr Liu who treated me for the dizziness and fatigue, I got energy back and the dizziness was much reduced. Was able to go back to work and get my life back. After seeing him for almost six months I am feeling so much better, making plans for my business and ,mostly back to normal. I highly recommend him, he treated my sciatica in just 3 treatment basically took care of a 30 year chronic situation. Also Tom the massage therapist is the best, I am a massage therapist so I would know.

I had a great experience with Dr. Liu. I was suffering from terrible menstrual cramps, but after already the first session I didn't have to take any painkillers. My life is now PMS- and cramp-free, totally different feeling! I've been seeing him for a few months now and every time I come I always asks me how I feel and what is going on in my life to adjust the session accordingly. Once I came to the session with congested nose and wet cough and all was gone just after one session. He is a great doctor, I highly recommend him!

I had great experience with Dr. Baoku Liu both from mom's chronicle cough and my neck pain treatment. My neck pain bothers me from time to time until I was passed out one day and suddenly could not move my upper body. During some worst day, I could barely pick up chopsticks and little cough would cause whole back shooting pain. After a few sessions, my neck condition improved significantly. My mom has chronicle cough in the past 30 years. It is extremely painful for her to fall into sleep and bothers her a lot for normal daily life. Also, once serve cough comes, sometime, mom could not breath. In the past, my mom already saw many doctors, experienced many medical exam, treatment without significant improvement.Surprisingly,after 2 of Dr. Liu's sessions, my mom's cough stopped and after another 6 sessions, my mother's heath improved significantly and haven't been bothered by cough for the past 6 months. It is never been like that before. It is truly a miracle !!!

Fourteen years I suffered with neuromuscular pain. I saw mutitudes of Doctors, Physical Thereapist but no results were lasting until I tried acupuncture services with Dr. Lui. I had a serious fall from a ladder in 1998 and I tried to hold on with my left arm but the force of the fall tore my shoulder, arm, neck & back severly. Since treatment with Dr. Lui I am happy. Happy because I'm not dizzy, happy because I can breathe out of my sinuses, happy because my pain is gone, happy because I have a normal range of motion in my shoulder. I'm happy because I did the smart thing. I'm happy because I didn't allow myself to be afraid of a few needles. If you have any brains at all and if you're tired of pain then try Acupuncture. I fully endorse this therapy. I am Joe Kosmalski, I am a double Bachelor's Registered Nurse, Personal Trainer and a Massage Therapist and I'm completely satisfied with Acupuncture results.

Discussion in 'Sports' started by Zodiac, Jul 10, 2006.
While you're sitting in that Starbucks, tell my friend, Adam, I said "Hi!".
If it won't improve my standings on the Strava leader boards, I'm gonna pass on it.
I hear it comes with a larger, much improved Big Dick
Seems like lots of money to (very) marginally improve the ride.
Something like a telescoping seat post, on the other hand, would seem to be a more worthwhile investment. Haven't bought one yet though, because I'm cheap.
Big dick = more weight = slower Strava times.
A local rider I know just posted this on his Facebook page:
"I cleared the trail of storm debris on the few couple laps, then was doing a lap for time (and KILLING it) when a tree fell across the trail right in front of me! I slammed on the brakes, but was going too fast to stop. I hit the tree and launched over the bars. I'm so bummed, I was 3/4 of the way through and I know I had the KOM in the bag. Also, my bib shorts ripped wide open, and all my bits and pieces were flapping in the wind. There was nothing I could do to hide it, either! I did the Gravity Destroyed climb KOM with my dick quite literally flapping in the wind. :/ Be careful, the tree is still across the trail, I could not move it."
i'd guess some Stravadiots would consider that an even better excuse for not holding a KOM than not having this years newest coolest parts.
I'm not one of those, but I think my parts have been the coolest since I figured out what you can do with em.
You may disagree, but *I* know *the truth.*
Here's a quick clip from my local trail - http://youtu.be/34rJsAV5Eik?t=8s
arrrrgh! fix them squeaky brakes!!
A thousand pardons if this is 205.
<IFRAME height=315 src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qPNCgda4xD0" frameBorder=0 width=560 allowfullscreen></IFRAME>
One huge plus to riding at night: you can't tell how steep the hills you're climbing are so you just go up em
Cat says, "Screw Strava, get me some tuna!"
Went up a several climbs much faster during a predawn ride, just the cone of light in front, wisps of water condensing out of the fog on my face and glasses. Kept changing gears and spinning. Thoughts not on how long or steep the hill was.
I think "thoughts" are why many cyclists hate climbing and sometimes fail to make it to the top. My GF and MTB partner absolutely hate climbs, whether it be on the trail or road. I embrace and conquer them. I love it!
for me its less 'thoughts' than 'I can't keep up with the skinny SOBs.' I ride/rode with some 130-pounders. At 165 (+) it takes me darn near 2.5x their wattage to get up the hill at the same speed. I can do it, but it takes it out of me VERY quickly.
My GF is 125lbs, but, a girl that doesn't ride as much as I. And, my MTB partner is 6'4" and ~250lbs. You need different riding partners that'll make you feel better.
How do you calculate wattage? It would be interesting to know how much energy I'd save if I lost 10 lbs.

Now that the last of the 7 races is DONE, DONE, DONE, I've got to do the body disfiguring that I've long planned. Years ago I got a tattoo of a globe on the heel of my foot:
(Probably too much information, huh?)
When I started on the "marathons on every continent" thing, I decided that one day I'd commemorate its completion by altering the globe and adding some sort of wing. Trouble is, at this point I'm bonded with the tattoo the way it is and I don't want to screw it up by picking badly. Plus, it's kind of weird, but I'm commemorating a goal that went out with a wimper not a bang.
Race day started out with torrential rain making it hard to get through the Plaka with every street being a river. The apartment was well located, so I had THOUGHT it would be a breeze to make it to the buses that would carry me to Marathon.
Sidebar: I got really lucky with an online search for a vacation rental apartment in Athens. It was right in the middle of everything, and all I had to do was look out the windows to remember that I was in Greece. The Acropolis and the Agora were bigger than life right outside.
Lucky it was pretty from INSIDE, 'cause the marathon itself wasn't quite the romantic run through the Greek countryside I imagined. Of course, if I'd done even a TINY bit of googling, I'd have realized that the "original marathon course" is now a highway (that runs mostly uphill of all unfortunate things). Still, though, it DID have the best finish of all marathons I've done…running into Panathinaiko Stadium, the stadium from the first modern Olympics in 1896.
But of course, these kind of marathons are always about the site-seeing for me, both during and after the marathon, so after drying off and resting up, my friend Joe and I hit the Aegean to see what there was to see.
We were on a small"ish" boat, but despite the look in the Safety Officer's eyes…
…there wasn't anything to be afraid of. But the food.
So now I've done it…cruised the Greek Islands and cruised to the finish of my 7 continent goal. Now all that's left is inking it on my body. In Ephesus there was a carving of the Goddess Nike.
She's supposed to epitomize triumph, and while I'm too slow to say I'm triumphant as a runner, I AM "triumphant" in achieving a long-term goal. So maybe I'll let her (and not the shoe company…I wear Mizuno religiously) inspire the tattoo-metamorphosis. There was a carved block in Ephesus with a Nike wing that MIGHT work well wrapped around the globe:
It would be kinda cool, I think, to have the wing that commemorates the run come from the trip that completed the goal.

In this course, author and business coach Dave Crenshaw teaches you to get the most from your meetings—turning them into productive avenues for communicating, connecting, and accomplishing real work. The course demonstrates a simple, usable framework that will help you lead and participate in meetings large and small and provides insight into how to schedule, conduct, and follow up on meetings with minimum time and maximum results.
This course qualifies for 1.25 Category A professional development units (PDUs) through lynda.com, PMI Registered Education Provider #4101.
This course teaches you how to effectively hold two types of meetings: meetings with a group of people and one-to-one meetings. Group meetings are for three or more people, and one-to-one meetings are for just two people meeting face to face or through conferencing. Although the principles of effective meetings remain the same whether you're having a group meeting or a one-to-one meeting, the specific processes and tools that you use for these meetings are very different. So it's helpful if you understand the differences between these two types of meetings.
Group meetings are best for companywide or group-wide development, collaboration, and coordination. They're very effective when you want to brainstorm with many different people in a focused setting. They're also affected in coordinating the calendars among many different people, perhaps in a department with a project. One-to-one meetings, on the other hand, are best used for handling the fine details of day-to-day work, such as the quick questions that happen throughout your day when your coworkers call you, email you, or knock on your door.
These kinds of questions can be bundled together and discussed in a regularly scheduled one-to-one meeting. One-to-one meetings are fantastic opportunities for individuals to be heard and validated on a very personal level. I recommend that businesses use both group and one-to-one meetings. Typically, group meetings can be held less often than one-to-one meetings. For example, you might meet weekly on a one-to-one basis with a coworker who asks you questions, but might meet with all the members of your department as a group once per month.
Both types of meeting serve a unique and vital purpose. In this course, I will first cover principles that apply to every type of meeting, especially group meetings, and then later focus on tips and techniques unique to one-to-one meetings.

If you are starting out 2013 by trying to lose weight, you are probably interested in finding the best diet. Since most of your weight loss will come from changing your eating habits, the right diet can improve your chances for success. In reality, there is no single best diet for everyone. An effective diet should meet two important goals: to reduce calories and to promote sustainable, healthy eating habits. With this in mind, the best diet for you will help you make long-term lifestyle changes to promote losing weight and keeping it off, hopefully forever.
What to look for in a diet
In general, a weight loss diet should: 1. reduce calorie, fat, and sugar intake; 2. emphasize whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat protein sources; 3. incorporate real food and teach healthy choices; 4. reduce portion sizes; and 5. include regular exercise. The last two are particularly important since cutting back on portion sizes almost always reduces calories and daily exercise will increase weight loss and help you keep it off.
You should also look for a diet or weight loss program that includes some type of support. Weight loss programs that include a group dynamic, like Weight Watchers, may be beneficial. Many people find that the group support and being accountable to others improves their adherence and success. Less formal groups in the workplace or through community organizations (YMCA Team Lean, for example) can also be effective. Some programs offer support, information, and tracking online or through mobile apps.
The goal of a good diet should be for you to learn how to change your lifestyle for long-term weight maintenance, not just short-term weight loss. The result may be losing weight more slowly, but you are less likely to gain it back.
What to avoid in a diet
Diets and weight loss programs should not: 1. restrict or overemphasize specific foods or nutrients; 2. severely limit calories (less than 1,000 calories per day); or 3. require you to purchase special meals or supplements. Be wary of diets that instruct you not to eat foods that are generally recognized as healthy, like fruits and vegetables, or those that rely heavily on prepackaged meals. If you eat mostly ready-made foods you are missing out on an opportunity to learn how to select foods and prepare meals. These meals, snacks, and supplements are usually included to increase profits, and are not necessary for long-term success. Severe caloric restriction can cause rapid weight loss, but most of it is quickly regained.
Keep in mind that there are no dietary supplements that have been shown to be effective for promoting weight loss, despite what the manufacturers claim. In fact, some could even be dangerous. Be especially skeptical of claims that a supplement can burn fat without changing your diet or exercising and know that words like flush and cleanse are meaningless.
There are a few prescription medications and one over-the-counter drug (Orlistat) that has been shown to promote weight lossbut only when combined with a healthy low-calorie diet and exercise.
Picking a diet that you will follow is an important first step in losing weight. Since your goal should be to lose weight and keep it off, a diet that teaches you to prepare and choose healthy foods and includes daily exercise is essential.
Next week I will share more advice about making lifestyle changes that will help you achieve long-term success. In the meantime, you can learn more weight loss and exercise tips, included a recommended diet, at my blog: http://drbrianparr.wordpress.com/

I've had my 2TB WD external hard drive for about 6 months now with no problems whatsoever, until now. I had to take my laptop apart to fix the keyboard, which entailed me taking out the disk drive. So I got everything back together, it seems the disk drive is resetting or whatever, but my WD drive is lagging like crazy. It shows up but it is really slow. I figured it had to recognize all the files on there or something, there is quite a bit on there. So I left it sitting on all night thinking it would recognize everything by then, but no! I can get on to the first file page and start up a video I have on there, but when I try to open subfolders some make it unresponsive. One subfolder that I checked worked but when I try to open yet another subfolder it becomes unresponsive same as the others. I'm thinking this has to be something with my laptop, but I have no idea how to fix it. So if you know please help!
Oh, and sometimes it restarts itself. I also tried doing the check disk thing but it takes a really long time to even get started, everything is just so slow now.
Your drive may be failing, to confirm this you can run an Extended Test: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/94

It doesn't talk about specific products but it's a must read for anyone who has thought they might need a CMS for their website but weren't sure, or really don't have a great grasp of what a CMS brings to you that a simple static set of web pages doesn't.
If we look at content management functionality as a continuum, there's a graduated scale between the two. On the one side, you have something simple — an "articles" table with a couple of password-protected pages to update it. On the other side, you have a commercial CMS that you paid $50K for with all the bells and whistles. Specifically, how are the two different?

How can I find and clean up duplicate client records in my WebCATS database, and prevent future duplicates from occurring?
Duplicate records negatively affect the integrity of your database. For example, for DLA-funded centers, duplicates can cause you to overstate your total number of initial counseling sessions on the DLA 1806 report. For SBA-funded centers reporting to EDMIS, duplicate client records are particularly troublesome because not only will you be overstating your client count and understating your extended engagement client count, but cleaning up duplicates is impossible for data that was submitted to EDMIS in prior fiscal years.
There are other complications of duplicate records in addition to reporting complications. Duplicate records lead to confusion for your users (which client record should I be working with?). They also make it difficult to piece together a complete history of a client's activity because information is spread across multiple client records instead of being available in one location.
How do duplicate records get introduced into your database in the first place? OutreachSystems has discovered that, most of the time, a duplicate client (or contact) record is introduced because the counselor didn't realize the client already existed in the database. Why didn't the counselor know? Because they didn't have view permissions to client records belonging to other centers in the network. Restrictive permissions are the leading cause of duplicates.
It's typical for a counselor to only be assigned permissions that let them view, edit and delete clients within their own center. But when the same client visits two centers that are part of the same network, these limited permissions force the counselor to enter the client into the database a second time, thus creating a duplicate client record. And since clients often visit more than one center in their pursuit of answers, multi-center networks are at risk of developing duplicate client issues in their WebCATS databases.
The process for cleaning up duplicates is involved and there are many considerations to be aware of. This FAQ covers common considerations, but each database may have its own unique set of circumstances.
The following four sections thoroughly address the issue of duplicates:
- Locating Duplicate Records Using Duplicate Analysis Reports
- Identifying Legacy Duplicate Client Records
- Duplicate Client & Contact Record Clean-up Process
- Avoiding Duplicate Records in the Future
Locating Duplicate Records Using Duplicate Analysis Reports
To keep your database free of duplicate records, it's a good idea to regularly check your database for duplicates. OutreachSystems has developed several duplicate analysis reports in WebCATS to help networks determine whether duplicates exist in their databases and what the scope of the issue might be.
WebCATS has three built-in reports that exist solely to identify duplicate client records:
- Duplicates by Company Name. This report lists out all client records that share the exact same company name as another client record in the database.
- Duplicates by Company Phone.This report lists out all client records that share the exact same company phone number as another client record in the database.
- Duplicates by Company Name and Phone. This report is more restrictive than the previous two; it requires that both company name and phone be shared by two client records.
WebCATS also has two built-in reports dedicated to duplicate contact records:
- Duplicates by Name and Phone. This report lists out all contact records that share (1) the exact same last name, (2) the same first letter of the first name, and (3) the same phone number as another contact record in the database.
- Duplicates by E-mail Address.This report lists out all contact records that share the exact same e-mail address as another contact record in the database.
Note: All five of these duplicate reports are case insensitive, but not punctuation insensitive. For example, "OutreachSystems" and "OutReachSystems" would be treated as identical company names, but "OutreachSystems Inc." and "OutreachSystems, Inc." would not.
Identifying Legacy Duplicate Client Records
Before you begin cleaning up duplicate client records, it is imperative that you first identify which records cannot be altered because of the need to maintain audit integrity. For example, SBDCs, WBCs and PTACs are required to report their numbers to either the SBA or the DLA. Once these numbers have been reported, you are accountable for them and it is important that any clean up process does not affect your reported numbers.
In this article, we will refer to records that cannot be altered because of the need to maintain audit integrity as legacy records. Records that have not yet been reported are referred to as non-legacy records. OutreachSystems has different recommended procedures for cleaning up duplicate client records, depending on whether the client records are legacy or non-legacy records.
The determining factor as to whether a duplicate client record is legacy or non-legacy is the dates of its associated counseling, investment, or award sessions. If a client has any session activity that has been reported to your funding partner, it is a legacy record. Following are some parameter guidelines based on funding partner.
SBA-Funded Centers (SBDC/WBC)
The EDMIS system was established on October 1, 2005. Client activity is uploaded from WebCATS to EDMIS on a quarterly basis. Thus, any client that had a session between October 1, 2005 and the last quarterly upload is what we call a "legacy record" because it has been reported to EDMIS and should not be deleted. Nor should any of its activity sessions be consolidated to another client record.
Clients that have not had any session activity uploaded to EDMIS are what we call "non-legacy records" and these records can be safely consolidated with a keeper record, and then deleted.
Note: The duplicate client reports include the first EDMIS session date and the most recent session date to help you quickly determine the legacy status of potential EDMIS data.
Note: In some cases, SBA may allow you to clean up current-year legacy duplicates and resubmit to EDMIS. See SBA EDMIS Fiscal Year Rollback Exception for a discussion of possible clean-up provisions of current-year legacy duplicates in the EDMIS system.
DLA-Funded Centers (PTAC)
The DLA parameters are more straightforward. The key date here is when the last DLA 1806 was submitted. If a client has been reported on any 1806, then it is a legacy client. Clients with initial activity entered after the last 1806 submission, and thus never submitted to DLA, are non-legacy clients.
Duplicate Client & Contact Record Clean-up Process
After identifying how many legacy and non-legacy duplicate client records exist in your database, you'll need to decide if you want to manually clean them up or have OutreachSystems do it on your behalf using automated scripts we have developed. As you read on in this section, you'll see that it is quite a time-consuming process to manually remove the duplicates—especially legacy duplicates. For this reason, we typically recommend that if you have a significant number of duplicate records, you should strongly consider contracting with OutreachSystems to do the job for you.
If you decide to clean up duplicates manually, remember that there are different procedures for legacy and non-legacy records, as discussed in the following two sections:
- Cleaning Up Non-Legacy Duplicate Client Records
- Cleaning Up Legacy Duplicate Client Records
- SBA EDMIS Fiscal Year Rollback Exception
Warning: Non-database administrators should not attempt to consolidate and delete duplicate records without first consulting their database administrator. Improper handling of duplicates can negatively impact the audit integrity of the WebCATS database.
Note: This article's primary focus is the cleaning up of duplicate clients and their associated contacts. However, there may also be duplicate contact records in the database that are not associated with client records. WebCATS built-in duplicate contact reports, mentioned previously, will help identify these. Once duplicate clients and their associated contacts have been cleaned up, a similar process can be followed to clean up duplicate contacts.
Cleaning Up Non-Legacy Duplicate Client Records
Because non-legacy records do not require special audit integrity considerations, their clean-up process is relatively straightforward. Following is the recommended process for manually handling non-legacy duplicate client records.
- For each set of identified duplicate records, you will need to designate one of the duplicate client records as a "keeper" record to be retained in the database. It is helpful to mark the keeper record with an asterisk [*] so that you can quickly see where the activity records need to be moved to.
- Once you have identified your "keeper" record, you will now want to transfer all counseling, milestone, investment, or award sessions from the duplicate record(s) to the keeper record. This is done by opening the session record in edit mode and changing the client association to the keeper client record.
- With all the sessions now associated with the keeper record, it is now time to transfer all contacts (even duplicate contacts—you'll take care of that in step 4) from the non-keeper client record(s) to the keeper record. To accomplish this, repeat steps a-d for each non-keeper client record:
- Contacts must belong to the same center as the client they are associated with. For this reason, you must open the non-keeper client record in edit mode and modify its center association to match that of the keeper client's center.
- For each secondary contact (i.e. non-primary contact), if any, that is associated with the non-keeper client record, change the contact record's company association to the keeper record.
- You're now left with one primary contact for the non-keeper client record. Because a contact can only belong to one company and because all companies must have at least one contact, you'll need to delete that client record in order to "free" the contact.
- Once you've freed the primary contact from the non-keeper client record, you can now associate it with the keeper client record. At this point, all contacts from all duplicate client records should be associated with the keeper client record, and the keeper record should be the only client record left in the database from the initial set of duplicates.
- In most cases, you'll now have duplicate contact records attached to the keeper client record. These also need to be cleaned up, following steps similar to those used in cleaning up the duplicate clients:
- For each set of identified duplicate contact records, identify the keeper contact record to be retained with the keeper client record. As with keeper client records, we recommend using an asterisk in the keeper contact record's name to help you easily identify it.
- For the non-keeper contact records, make a note of all conference attendance activity and replicate it for the keeper contact record. For example, if the non-keeper contact record for John Smith attended a conference that the keeper contact record for John Smith is not marked as having attended, you'll need to add that activity to the keeper contact record for John Smith.
- Transfer any inquiry records from the non-keeper contacts to the keeper contact.
- Delete the non-keeper duplicate contact records.
Determining the keeper record might be based on some pre-defined criteria such as which record was most recently added to the database, which had the most recent activity or which contains the highest number of completed data fields. Determining which duplicate has the most accurate information in it is not feasible programmatically and may require a phone call to the client itself. Unfortunately, this is a highly subjective and labor-intensive process.
Note: Using an asterisk in the keeper record's name, as suggested in step 1, will help you easily identify the keeper client record.
Note: Re-associating client activity to the keeper client record will not affect center or counselor ownership of the activity. Center and counselor reports should not be affected by consolidating client activity to a single client record.
The end result of this non-legacy clean-up process should be a single client record with all session records, contacts, and contact activity consolidated to it. Any duplicates of the client or contact records should have successfully been removed from the database.
Cleaning Up Legacy Duplicate Client Records
When only one legacy client record exists for a set of duplicates, it must be designated as the keeper record and the non-legacy process detailed in the previous section can be followed for all non-keeper duplicate records. In other words, if Company X exists in the database three times, but only one of the three client records has previously-reported counseling sessions associated with it, then this is the client record that must be designated as the keeper record, even if the other two records potentially have more complete information.
If you have a set of duplicate client records where more than one of the duplicates has history with either SBA or DLA, then you will want to follow the next set of clean-up steps.
Note: Keep in mind that if you are funded by SBA and you have a significant number of duplicates whose activity was first reported to EDMIS during the current fiscal year (OutreachSystems refers to these as FY-legacy duplicates), you may want to consider asking SBA to allow you to roll back data submitted thus far for the current year before performing cleanup on those FY-legacy records. For more information on this option, see SBA EDMIS Fiscal Year Rollback Exception.
To clean up a set of duplicates where more than one of the duplicates is a legacy client record:
- Set up a "DUPLICATES Center" center record. This newly created center will be used to store duplicate legacy records that, although they were not designated as keeper records, cannot be deleted due to the negative impact deleting them would have on your audit integrity. Permissions to this center should be tightly restricted to prevent non-administrator users from accessing these legacy duplicate records.
- Designate one of the legacy duplicate records as the keeper record. If there are any non-legacy duplicates as part of this duplicate set, consolidate their activity and contacts to this keeper record and then delete them, using the same process described in the previous section.
- Once all non-legacy records are consolidated and deleted, it's now time to focus on the remaining legacy duplicate records. You can't delete these legacy records, yet you want to clean them up to prevent future confusion. So the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary legacy client records for the same company must be edited as follows:
- Modify the client status to "inactive."
- Remove the company phone number.
- Append the text "RESTRICTED DUPLICATE" into the Company Name field.
- Transfer the client to the "DUPLICATES Center" along with its contacts.
- Append the text "RESTRICTED DUPLICATE" into the Last Name field of all the contacts you just transferred to the "DUPLICATES Center" and remove their e-mail addresses.
- Retain the existing client, counselor, and center ownership of all associated client activity session records.
- Do not transfer the activity sessions of these "RESTRICTED DUPLICATE" client records to the legacy keeper client record.
- Do not transfer the activity sessions of these "RESTRICTED DUPLICATE" client records to the newly-created "DUPLICATES Center."
The end result of this process is that the activity sessions and contacts associated with all non-legacy client records in the set of duplicates should be consolidated to the legacy keeper record, and the non-legacy client records should be deleted. All "RESTRICTED DUPLICATE" legacy duplicate client records and their associated contact records should be retained in the locked-down "DUPLICATES Center" to prevent future use. All activity sessions associated with "RESTRICTED DUPLICATE" legacy duplicate client records should remain where they occurred for audit integrity.
SBA EDMIS Fiscal Year Rollback Exception
Data that has been uploaded to EDMIS in the previous fiscal year is locked by the SBA and any duplicate legacy records that were uploaded from WebCATS prior to the current fiscal year should be handled as described in the previous section.
However, there may be client duplicates in WebCATS whose initial upload to EDMIS occurred during the current fiscal year. In these cases, there may be an opportunity to correct the WebCATS database for the current year by consolidating these duplicates using the non-legacy clean-up process and then updating EDMIS with the corrected data. We will refer to these potential clean-up clients as FY-legacy duplicates.
It is important to recognize that when duplicates are uploaded to EDMIS, the client numbers are being inflated while at the same time the extended engagement and long-term client numbers are being under counted.
For this reason, the SBA has tentatively agreed to make allowances for programs to take corrective action and consolidate these current fiscal year duplicates. On a case by case basis, they have agreed to consider wiping out the current year's EDMIS data to allow a more accurate EDMIS export for the entire year to be resubmitted.
To do this current year database rollback, your network will need to request approval from Bruce Purdy at SBA. To assess whether or not to grant this approval, the SBA will need to know the extent of the duplicate problem within your database. In other words, do you have two current fiscal year duplicate client records or 200? The duplicate analysis reports referenced at the beginning of this FAQ will help you determine the extent of the problem. You can export these reports to an Excel spreadsheet and then sort on the "First EDMIS Session" column for an easy determination of the number of FY-legacy clients that might be cleaned up pending SBA approval.
Avoiding Duplicate Records in the Future
As stated at the beginning of this FAQ, duplicate client record creation can be attributed to user permissions for the most part. However, it may also be due to lack of understanding by the users. If a user doesn't understand the implications of creating a duplicate client then no matter what tools you make available to them, they will still create their "own" copy of the same company.
Therefore, in addition to some of the recommended settings we have listed below, we also recommend that you make sure that all users realize the need to check for duplicates across all centers every time a new client or contact is created in the database.
Here are the permissions settings as recommended by OutreachSystems to ensure that the user has the ability to query for duplicate records before adding new companies to the database, and to ensure that these queries are taking all centers into account:
- System administrators should set WebCATS' Quick Search feature to query all centers. This is done from NeoCATS (Manage|NeoCATS).
- System administrators should activate automated duplicate checks. This is also done from NeoCATS (Manage|NeoCATS).
- At the very least, system administrators should set up all user accounts with the permissions necessary to view client and contact records across all centers. But ideally, we recommend that edit permissions also be bumped up so that users can also edit client and contact records across all centers.
OutreachSystems is aware that many SBA-funded centers have been concerned about sharing data across centers due to statute language regarding unlawful client information disclosure. To clear up any confusion on this, we had Bruce Purdy, EDMIS Program Manager, weigh in on the topic. According to Bruce, SBA strongly recommends sharing client information across a program network:
"[...] by not using the same client record within the network, not only will the EEC count be incorrect, but so will things like job creation, capital infusion, etc. Cross center counseling is common especially when one center may have the expertise that another center does not. The only way these clients can obtain that counseling is to go to multiple centers/counselors. The language in the statute and the Notice of Award are basically to protect the client from unlawful disclosure. Sharing that information within the SBDC network or consortium would not in my opinion be a break from this disclosure."
Besides changing user permissions, what else can you do to avoid duplicates in the future? We suggest the following corrective actions:
- All users in a network should be reminded to allow pop-ups from WebCATS to ensure that the automatic duplicate check feature in WebCATS is functioning on their machine. WebCATS also performs an automatic pop-up check at the login page to warn users of the need to allow pop-ups from the WebCATS site. For more information on allowing pop-ups, see the FAQ titled How do I disable pop-up blockers in WebCATS?.
- WebCATS user training should emphasize the ability to add cross-center activity to clients at other centers and the importance of doing this rather than creating a duplicate client record at the user's own center. Users need to understand that duplicates are a serious issue.
- The database administrator should run the duplicate analysis reports in WebCATS before submitting data to the program's funding partner. For SBA-funded centers, this means running the reports on a quarterly basis prior to uploading the quarterly EDMIS export. This will identify potential duplicates for remedial action before contaminating the EDMIS database and should become part of the EDMIS processing routine.
Note: If a "DUPLICATES Center" exists in your WebCATS database, it should be excluded when running the duplicate analysis reports in order to ensure that "RESTRICTED DUPLICATE" legacy duplicates are filtered out of the report's output.

Pub giant wants to work with beer campaigners
Posted: May 07, 2014|
A BURTON-based pub giant has revealed it is 'committed' to working with beer campaigners – after calls were made to take a more 'radical' approaching to dealing with pubcos.
Bosses at Punch Taverns, in Centrum 100 , moved to calm the waters after members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) voted to step up its opposition to some pub giants.
The motion, put forward at its annual conference, called for a more 'radical' approach when dealing with firms such as Punch and Spirit, which is also based in Centrum 100.
The motion was carried in a bid to better deal with firms that some CAMRA members claim 'indulge in unacceptable and unfair business practices'.
A spokesman for Punch Taverns told the Mail: "We remain committed to working towards a constructive outcome that benefits the long term future of British pubs and the million people who work in and around the sector."
Bosses from Punch are hoping to meet with CAMRA chiefs to discuss the fallout from group's decision.
Colin Valentine, CAMRA chairman, said: "These motions underline our determination to tackle the threat of pubs to weak planning riles and unfair pubco business practices.
"We are at a critical stage of the campaign to bring in line big beer companies and we are pressing the Government to deliver on their promise to act.
"There is growing frustration at the delay in the Government going ahead for a statutory code."
Burton's MP has long argued that introducing a statutory code for the pub industry would have a 'long lasting and devastating impact'.
Andrew Griffiths has stated that the move would, in fact, damage the industry and could see people in the town lose their jobs.
However, opposition campaigners claim that the move would give landlords a fairer deal.
He told the Mail: "I think the measures put forward would put thousands of jobs in the industry at risk in the future, many of which are found in Burton.
"It could also see more pubs close and the further decline of the great British pub.
"We need to do all we can to protect this fine industry."

President to tout Obamacare on 'Ellen'
As part of his ongoing push to promote the Affordable Care Act, President Obama will appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" via live shot from the White House on March 20, the show's publicist announced Wednesday.
"This is the president's first appearance on the show since he has been elected to office," Melissa Little Padgitt wrote in a brief press release. "President Obama will talk to Ellen about Obamacare in an effort to encourage people without health insurance to sign up for coverage."
President Obama last week appeared on "Between Two Ferns," the Funny Or Die digital video series, where he touted the benefits of Obamacare during a humorous interview with host Zach Galifianakis.

Depending on how things shape out, it appears a rematch will be order in next year's local race for Congress. Republican businessman Matt Doheny has made his candidacy for the seat in the 23rd Congressional District official, filing paperwork with the FEC. He has cited jobs and the economy as the top issues for him. Doheny lost the race last year to Democratic incumbent Bill Owens. That race saw three candidates on the ballot with Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman garnering about 9 thousand votes on election night, even though he had ended his campaign weeks before the election. It's now a wait and see if another Republican will challenge Doheny for the nomination. Also a wild card is redistricting and what the Congressional map will look like for next year's election.

Looking none the worse for recent heart surgery, Airbus chief salesman John Leahy was in London today (22 November) launching the European manufacturer's Global Market Forecast, it's first for two years.
Just as our recent blog with Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker showed, Leahy is a quote machine. So here are the highlights from his packed press conference, which did, as my colleague from Flight International Max Kingsley-Jones observed, start 20 minutes late. Typical Airbus we commented dryly.
1. Leahy didn't shy away from the obvious: Airbus has had a bad year. Or has it really been that bad? Leahy observed that despite the "absolute mess Airbus is in in 2006″, it will still end up being its second best ever sales performance. Current sales stand at 619 aircraft, compared to the record-setting level of 1,111 in 2005. "This surprised a lot of people in Toulouse when I mentioned it…It has been one of the best of years as well as one of the worst of years," he said.
2. Market share. Leahy's target in order terms is to keep in the 40-60% band. This year after five ahead of Boeing, Airbus will most likely fall behind again. It has 43% of the year's orders now, in unit, terms, and around 35-37% of orders by value. "In terms of deliveries it is our best ever year – we will deliver 425 aircraft."
3. A380 compensation. Asked (by me actually) if Airbus was setting an industry record for airline compensation levels on a single programme with the A380 Leahy had a straight reply: "I wouldn't know if we are setting new records. What I do know is the compensation is reasonable in many cases," he said, adding that in most cases it is capped.
4. A380 cancellations. Despite three delays to the A380, Leahy does not expect any more cancellations after FedEx chopped its A380 freigher order. Customers "get mad, but they don't talk about cancellations, they are talking about compensation…all the others are staying with us". And, in fact, carriers like Qantas, Singapore Airlines and others are talking about how many more they are buying, he said.
5. Low-cost A380. After evacuation tests that got 853 people and 20 crew off the A380, Leahy is only half-joking about the super jumbo as a real people-mover. The success of the test means "I've got to update my brochures," he said, when asked if low-cost carriers might be interested in the aircraft. Leahy revealed he was talking to a carrier interested in the A330 that afternoon that had also asked for a idea of the A380 in a low-cost configuration.
6. A350 launch. Wait for the EADS board meeting, said Leahy. But: "I've been pleasantly surprised by the fact of how many of our customers are willing to wait for it (the A350). It has slowed sales for our competitor," he said, referring of course to Boeing's 787.
7. Salesmanship. Asked if sorting out the A380 issues was taking up most of his time, Leahy replied "too much!" He is currently spending about 50% of his energy on the A380 and the rest on new aircraft sales. However, the A380 talks have had some spin-off benefits: "Part of sorting out the A380′s problems is producing new sales."

Robert L. Hinshaw
I s'pose some folks prefer a hound dog lyin' at their feet,
While others might enjoy a twitterin' parakeet.
But be it a mogul's mansion or a humble flat,
A house just ain't a home without an inscrutable cat!
Thankfully, my cat doesn't bark or scourge my pristine lawn,
Nor does he wake me for outside relief at the crack of dawn.
Furthermore, my dear old pal I seldom have to holler at.
A house just ain't a home without an inscrutable cat!
My cat is content to have me stroke and brush his hair,
And happier yet if he can occupy my favorite chair.
As master of his domain, why should he ever want to roam?
Without an inscrutable cat, a house just ain't a home!
While he reposes upon my lap and I stroke his silky fur,
Ain't nothin' more relaxin' than to hear his soothin' purr.
He won't condone a walk, I'll certainly grant you that,
Yet, a house just ain't a home without an inscrutable cat!
His independent airs and a few stray hairs I can tolerate;
Even my chair by the glowin' fire to him I will abnegate.
I reckon you can enjoy a snake, pot-bellied pig or hybrid rat,
But a house just ain't a home, without an inscrutable cat!

Child patients trick or treat in hospital
Pediatric patients dress up at Children's Hospital of San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO - At Children's Hospital of San Antonio on Wednesday, hospital staff lined the hallways, some in full costume, and passed out candy to the patients who have to spend their Halloween in the hospital, rather than going door-to-door in their neighborhoods.
"It's great. It's one of the best hospital stays that we've ever had. It was a great experience. A great staff. We love this place. The girls are happy and it's been a great experience," said Fabian Durmmond.
His 22-month-old daughter had to spend some time in the hospital for respiratory distress.
The hospital staff seemed to get as much out of the festivities as the children.
"It's also a break from their normal routine. We take of a lot of really sick kids here and it gives them a chance to also bring something normal to their own lives during the course of the workday," said Marcy Doderer, an administrator at Children's Hospital of San Antonio.
At University Hospital, a smaller -- yet no-less enthusiastic -- group did the same thing.
"We want to make sure that the kids that are here in the hospital missing out on what other friends and family are doing. We want them to make sure we can bring some of that inside," said MaryEllen Michaelidas, a registered nurse and head of pediatrics at University Hospital.
At Methodist Children's Hospital, an IV pole-decorating contest was held for their Halloween festivities.

Me and my friend, fellow actress and fashionista, Grasie Mercedes were chilling at the Greenwich Hotel before the Pete Yorn concert. Grasie and I had just styled a campaign for AERIE, American Eagle's sister company. Some fun facts about the new Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca...best spaghetti in town, really rad indoor swimming pool and the view off the balcony looked like we in an quaint French Village.
Thanks AERIE!
My first Editorial styling job!
Here is the finished product from a model test I styled the other day. Erin, the model, is new to the city but a total natural and such a sweet girl. She really looks classy don't ya think?

Hey guys, aren't this pictures that Mark took amazing?!? The light was great just lazing around the kitchen on a Saturday afternoon. I am thinking of re-titling my blog The Frugal Fashionista. Although I am sure that someone already has a blog called The Frugal Fashionista, I am suddenly becoming aware of all the fabulous clothes in my closet and my lack of a savings account. WAAAA! So expect more reworkings of vintage, borrowed items and re-inventions of old pieces. It all feels somehow more creative than just buying new stuff and oh-so appropo for the current state of things. So next time you are thinking of blowing some money just cuz you are bored with your closet, I say call up your bestfriend or your little sister instead;) Also stay tuned for some pictures from my recent adventure in Poland.

A growing economy constantly creates new job opportunities in new sectors, but also displaces and even destroys existing jobs. The workforce in an entrepreneurial economy must always evolve as well. Government efforts to protect jobs are often misguided, hindering growth and new job creation. Pro-growth workforce rules should instead focus on developing worker skills, allowing maximum hiring and layoff flexibility, and focus adjustment efforts on getting displaced workers into new jobs as soon as possible. Small firms employ half of all private sector employees and create 60-80 percent of net new jobs in the U.S., according to the SBA. Labor rules are one of the largest barriers to entrepreneurial ventures.1 The World Bank's cross-country comparison of labor regulations shows lower job creation where workplace rules are more rigid.2 Labor rules must move beyond the early 20th century framework of management versus labor and encourage new firm formation as well as a dynamic, not static, worker.
