Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test in which a sample of chorionic villi is removed from the placenta for testing.
During pregnancy, the placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby and removes waste products from the baby's blood. The chorionic villi are wispy projections that make up most of the placenta and share the baby's genetic makeup.
Chorionic villus sampling can reveal whether a baby has a chromosomal condition, such as Down syndrome. Chorionic villus sampling can also be used to test for other genetic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis.
Although chorionic villus sampling can provide valuable information about your baby's health, the decision to pursue invasive diagnostic testing is serious. It's important to understand the risks of chorionic villus sampling — and be prepared for the results.
Chorionic villus sampling can provide information about your baby's genetic makeup. Generally, chorionic villus sampling is offered when the test results might have a significant impact on the management of the pregnancy — or your desire to continue the pregnancy. Typically, the value of this information can be assessed only by you and your partner.
Chorionic villus sampling is usually done between weeks 10 and 12 of pregnancy — earlier than other prenatal diagnostic tests, such as amniocentesis.
You might consider chorionic villus sampling if:
Chorionic villus sampling can't detect neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. If neural tube defects are a concern, an ultrasound or genetic amniocentesis might be recommended instead.
Your health care provider might caution against transcervical chorionic villus sampling — which is done through the vagina — if you have:
Rarely, your health care provider might caution against transabdominal chorionic villus sampling — which is done through the abdominal wall — if:
Rhesus (Rh) factor — an inherited trait that refers to a specific protein found on the surface of red blood cells — matters, too.
Your health care provider might caution against both types of chorionic villus sampling if you're Rh negative, your baby's father is Rh positive and you're sensitized — your body has already begun to produce antibodies after exposure to the baby's red blood cells at some point during pregnancy. If you're sensitized and have chorionic villus sampling, you're at increased risk of complications following chorionic villus sampling.
Chorionic villus sampling carries various risks, including:
Some older studies suggested that chorionic villus sampling might cause defects in a baby's fingers or toes. However, the risk appears to be a concern only if the procedure is done before week nine of pregnancy.
Remember, chorionic villus sampling is typically offered when the test results might have a significant impact on the management of the pregnancy. Ultimately, the decision to have chorionic villus sampling is up to you. Your health care provider or genetic counselor can help you weigh all the factors in the decision.
You might need to have a full bladder for chorionic villus sampling, so drink plenty of fluids before your appointment. Depending on the position of the placenta, however, you might be asked to empty your bladder just before the procedure.
Your health care provider might ask you to sign a consent form before the procedure begins. Consider asking someone to accompany you to the appointment for emotional support or to drive you home afterward.
Chorionic villus sampling is usually done in an outpatient facility or the health care provider's office.
First, your health care provider will use ultrasound to determine your baby's gestational age and the position of the placenta. You'll lie on your back on an exam table and lift your shirt to expose your abdomen. Your health care provider will apply a special gel to your abdomen, and then use a small device known as an ultrasound transducer to show your baby's position on a monitor.
Next, your health care provider will use the ultrasound image as a guide and take the tissue sample from the placenta. This can be done through your cervix (transcervical) or your abdominal wall (transabdominal).
You'll need to lie still while the tissue sample is removed. The entire procedure usually takes about 30 minutes.
If your health care provider isn't able to remove an adequate amount of tissue on the first try, the procedure might need to be repeated.
After the tissue sample is removed, your health care provider might use ultrasound to monitor your baby's heart rate. You might experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding immediately after the procedure.
The tissue sample will be analyzed in a lab. Results might take a few days or a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of the lab analysis.
Contact your health care provider if you have:
Your health care provider or a genetic counselor will help you understand your chorionic villus sampling results. Occasionally, test results are unclear and amniocentesis — another prenatal diagnostic test — is needed to clarify the diagnosis.
With chorionic villus sampling, there's a rare chance of a false-positive test — when the test is positive, but no disease exists. It's also important to remember that chorionic villus sampling can't identify all birth defects, including spina bifida and other neural tube defects.
If chorionic villus sampling indicates that your baby has a chromosomal or genetic condition that can't be treated, you might be faced with wrenching decisions — such as whether to continue the pregnancy. Seek support from your health care team and your loved ones during this difficult time.

I have been touched by the noodly appendage and blessed with a vision of the best way to say RAmen:
Clasp your hands together, interlocking your fingers, like the Christians would to pray.
Instead of holding your hands tightly closed, wiggle your fingers about like noodly appendages. Go ahead, do it.
Doesn't that look like our carbohydrate-filled lord?
Say RAmen while you do it. And share the word with all our fellow Pastafarians!

Shirley Cook
- 1 of 9To say we're elated about today's installment of Fashion Office is basically the understatement of the year. After all, is there a girl in the world who's not obsessed with all things Proenza Schouler? Signs point to no, which is why we--along with our uber-talented friends at The Coveteur--are so excited to show you the office of Shirley Cook, Proenza Schouler's CEO!
- 2 of 9Top: "Every day is very different depending on the time of year (and time of day). I'm involved in literally every part of the company so at any given moment I could be reviewing sketches and colors, discussing sales strategy, reviewing business plans, or visiting stores. The best part of my job is that I'm never bored or pigeonholed into one area."
Bottom: "I love the combination of materials: a nice poor linen and a beautiful painted snake."
- 3 of 9"PS1 is our little pride and joy. It very much does embody the spirit of Proenza Schouler in that it looks like something familiar but is totally new. There's an ease and elegance of the bag that allows it to work well for so many people AND it's very user-friendly-so practical. It is a great singular expression of PS."
- 4 of 9"It's an unlikely everyday bag, but it ends up being something you just can't let go of...."
- 5 of 9Top: "These are from Fall 2011-open-toe pony skin booties with purple suede and blue felt highlights-I LOVE THEM! I love wearing them with a full runway look rather than just jeans and a tee. There's something great about wearing them exactly as intended."
Bottom: "The PS girl is pretty easygoing. She loves fashion but isn't obsessed with it and definitely has other things going on. She's aesthetically driven (to a degree), but is very much a real person. My favorite collection is Spring 2011. To me, it's almost a perfect expression of Jack and Lazaro and PS because you see all the nods to classic elements but everything feels so new. I also love the bravado of showing evening looks with flat gladiator boots. It's sort of irreverent and beautiful and desirable and respectful all at the same time."
- 6 of 9"The shoes immediately make me think of Jen Brill. I do have to say I think she wore them the most and the best!"
- 7 of 9"That little wallet! It's such a great gift for everyone and it comes in a million different colors. I sometimes use them as clutches in the evening."
- 8 of 9"Most of the photos are from Vogue, some aren't. They have all been gifts to us."
- 9 of 9"Jack and Lazaro are undoubtedly talented (we all know this and it's attested to in every magazine all the time), but why I appreciate them goes so far beyond the work that they do as inspiring designers. They are really great people to work with and to work for-our entire staff feels really attached to them and they have created a pretty large staff that all feels like family. It's because of who they are that all the employees go the extra mile and really care."

KIMA fights for answers in Sunnyside teacher investigation
SUNNYSIDE, Wash. -- KIMA is still following up on the investigation of two high school teachers in Sunnyside. For two months, Action News has worked all angles and filed public records requests to uncover exactly what is going on in your student's classrooms.
"If you guys don't look into this," said Sunnyside man Greg Flocchini. "Who will? Who's going to dig into this and find the culprit? Who's going to find out why this is being allowed?"
The Teacher's Union even filed a lawsuit against KIMA and the school district to block the release of information about what happened inside the classrooms of teachers Maria Preston and Sacha Mike.
KIMA has confirmed the district reprimanded Preston for giving sexually-explicit poems to her students. KIMA also learned that Preston has filed a grievance citing her first amendment rights.
Ms. Mike was also reprimanded for an explained reason. We do know students in her mythology class complained about being taught sexual things.
"I think the teachers shouldn't even be allowed to teach because if they've done it once, they can do it again," said former student, Estella Patterson.
Not only is Elidia a Sunnyside High School graduate, she is actually a former fan of the teachers.
"Just would have never thought she would do something like this," said Elidia.
While the district determines if further punishment is appropriate, people we showed the poems to were outraged.
To get all sides KIMA reached out to Sunnyside School District and the Teacher's Union but no one wants to comment.
WARNING: Graphic material | Here are links to three of the poems the teachers allegedly assigned:

POTSDAM The Beach Boys gave the Clarkson Inn good reviews after a stop here between shows in Quebec and Pennsylvania this week.
They arrived on Monday morning at around 7 a.m. and left early this morning at 1 a.m., Clarkson Inn manager George LaVigne said Tuesday. The whole crew was there. There were about 12 people here. We dealt with their manager for checking in and booking rooms but the band members and crew were the ones who came and stayed.
They seemed to enjoy their visit, starting with a breakfast prepared by the inn staff that band member Bruce Johnston described as subtly elegant and very reasonably priced and rated an eleven out of a possible ten in a review of the hotel on TripAdvisor.com.
From there the men spent their day playing volleyball in Ives Park, doing their laundry and dining at Italian restaurant Sergis on Market Street. Some also went to the movies at the nearby Roxy Theater.
The band made their stop in the north country on their way to Kennett Square, Pa., for a Tuesday night concert. They had performed on Sunday night in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec.
When somebody very important is coming, we dont talk about it too much, Mr. LaVigne said. When they leave, I usually ask them if it is OK to talk with the press and the community about their stay. Some say no, but they were fine with it.
According to Mr. LaVigne and Mr. Johnstons online review, the group will be coming back next summer.
There are plenty of good vibrations here in the Clarkson Inn, Mr. Johnston wrote in his review. All of us in the band are thrilled to be guests of the Clarkson Inn and we all will be back here next summer!

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Jeff Zucker began his career Monday as CNN Worldwide chief with a bang.
CNN's coverage of President Barack Obama's second inauguration was such a decisive victory for the oft-maligned cable news broadcaster that it felt compelled to take out a color, full-page ad Thursday in The Wall Street Journal, as well as publish promotions elsewhere.
"From the mall to the ball," the CNN ad trumpeted, "CNN won big on Inauguration Day."
The ad declared that CNN had been the No. 1 cable-news provider in total viewers for the day, and topped MSNBC and Fox News combined among adults aged 25 to 54 and 18 to 34. (The Wall Street Journal and Fox are, like MarketWatch, owned by News Corp.)
Every day should be as spectacular for Zucker and CNN as a splashy, high-profile presidential inauguration.
But, of course, every day isn't spectacular — and that is both CNN's biggest problem and Zucker's leading challenge.
The new boss has to do what the old bosses couldn't quite do at CNN: make a mundane news day seem tinged with enough drama, pathos, emotional content and everything else that inexorably draws in viewers and keeps them coming back.
CNN has fallen down on that job in recent years. Not only has the granddaddy of cable news networks, the media icon of Desert Storm in 1991, fallen far behind its biggest rival Fox, it has also been known to lag MSNBC in television ratings on slow news days.
Enter Zucker, who had a keen eye for broadcasting talent and an impresario's charisma on his best days at NBC.
CNN hired him to breathe life into a moribund brand without stomping on its core values or alienating anyone who welcomed its non-partisan style of covering politics, the network's bread-and-butter subject.
Film Clip: 'Parker'
Watch a clip from the film "Parker." A thief (Jason Statham) is double-crossed by his crew. Under disguise and allying with a woman (Jennifer Lopez) on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist.
Zucker has the responsibility of recruiting established stars from other networks and rejiggering CNN's morning show and prime-time offerings.
Making changes
One of Zucker's first moves was to woo Jake Tapper from ABC. The irreverent Tapper may represent to Zucker the prototype of the plugged-in 21st century political journalist. He had built a following as a White House correspondent both during his network spots and on Twitter.
CNN ought to take advantage of the wealth of talented partners who work under the Time Warner umbrella, including magazine publisher Time Inc. and Turner Sports. On Thursday Zucker hired Rachel Nichols from ESPN to anchor a new weekend CNN sports show and do reporting for Turner Sports across TV and digital media. In one move, Zucker has created programming for CNN and injected some life into all of its platforms. Expect to see more of the same.

LYONS FALLS Redevelopment of the old Lyons Falls Pulp & Paper mill took center stage at a North Country Regional Economic Development Council forum held here Monday afternoon.
The mill site is extremely important to our community, Mayor Catherine L. Liendecker told those gathered at the Forest Presbyterian Church on Center Street, including council Co-Chairmen Anthony G. Collins and Garry F. Douglas. Soon, our 12-year eyesore across the street will be gone.
Lewis County Development Corp. President Lawrence L. Dolhof commended council members for establishing mill redevelopment as a priority project and recommending funding for the effort.
Without them, we would not be as far as we are now, he said. Weve come a long ways in two years.
The development corporation was awarded $330,000 in 2011 and an additional $1 million in December for the redevelopment project, which is expected to cost about $5 million and is being managed by the Development Authority of the North Country.
Bids came in quite favorable for the initial phase, including demolition of heavily deteriorated buildings that are hindering Kruger Energy from undertaking a proposed expansion of its adjacent hydroelectric facility, Mr. Dolhof said. Corporation officials are working to ensure they have a needed match to leverage the state funding, he said.
Carrie M. Tuttle, engineering director for DANC, said officials are ironing out a financing agreement with Empire State Development, but she was hopeful the first phase could still be completed before the end of the year.
Future phases are to include demolition of other deteriorated buildings at the complex, a feasibility study to determine whether reuse of the remaining structures would be cost-effective and removal of ancillary structures, such as old tanks, she said.
Thats been the strategy, to break it up into manageable pieces, Ms. Tuttle said.
The project could lead to increased adventure tourism, such as kayaking, and improved public access to the Black and Moose rivers, Mrs. Liendecker said. A historical group also is mulling development of a paper mill museum here, she said.
Mr. Collins, president of Clarkson University, Potsdam, said the regional economic development process has seemed to help ongoing projects like the one here, with a state emphasis on helping to bring them to completion.
He also touted the councils emphasis on development of value-added agricultural products and suggested Lewis County could be a bread basket for such projects.
The north country region has fared well over the two years of the regional council model, garnering $90.2 million as a top performing region in 2011 and $103.2 million as a best plan winner in 2012.
Mr. Douglas, president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce, Plattsburgh, said keys to the regions success have been focusing on strategies rather than individual projects and attempting to keep politics out of the process.
Weve been doing it right, and were going to continue doing it right, he said.
About $750 million will be available this year. The top five regions are to receive $25 million each for priority projects, with the other five to split $25 million, Mr. Collins said.
The deadline for funding applications is Aug. 12.
Regional council officials held a similar session Monday evening in Clayton, while others are planned today at 2:30 p.m. at Malone Golf Club and at 6 p.m. at the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority, 1 Bridge Plaza.

By R. Anthony Jackson East Carbon
I write these words somewhat in response to a letter published Dec. 20, 2012 (Letters to the Editor, Sun Advocate) referring to 'Carbon's drama queen."
I am a current resident of East Carbon and have been for going on eight years since importing myself from another state and purchasing property here.
I chose this area for the altitude, the mountains, the solitude and, hopefully I would meet nice folks with which to spend my retirement, or "golden" years, as they are sometimes called.
It is not my intention to respond personally to the author of that letter but to all of those people residing in Carbon County excluding East Carbon, Sunnyside, and Columbia, which is part of East Carbon.
You see, this person cast deep aspersions upon our city and insulted us by referring to the city as a "shanty town" in the name of all the people of Carbon County with the reference to, "being the center of embarrassing attention and the focus of county wide jokes." He also made inferences to the senior citizens by stating "18 percent of the population is 65 years old or older" within the same letter.
There was also included an inference to the Sun Advocate which I see that the editor noticed and responded to, as he should have.
What I'm here for is to ask all the folks of Carbon County if this individual speaks for all of you? Do you feel that we are what was stated? Do you promulgate and/or pass on these things?
I will neither denigrate nor ostracize myself by making disparaging remarks about things I see in other parts of this county, or any of the cities and towns. I participate in two group meetings held in Price so I wonder if possibly I should refrain because while the other participants in these groups are smiling and have been nice to me there may be a smirk behind that smile.
I do feel that we all have the right to our own personal opinions in America but not necessarily the moral right to express them publicly without due cause and especially to infer that others are sided with me. I do know of folks here in East Carbon and Sunnyside who have also been insulted as I have. We will be somewhat more cautious in our dealings, spending habits, etcetera, as a result, and may always be looking for that smirk. Certainly I don't feel this is neighborly, so I ask all of the rest of Carbon County to respond. Either this individual's viewpoint is common among you or it is not.
If it is, tell me but if it isn't would you be so kind as to tell that person here, in the Sun Advocate?

MIDLAND CITY, Alabama (NBC NEWS) --A tedious standoff continues in the tiny town of Midland City, Alabama.
Police remain tight-lipped about the situation but, say the 5-year-old hostage is unharmed.
He was taken off of his kindergarten bus after the driver was shot dead trying to protect the children.
They have been talking to the suspect through a pipe attached to an underground bunker.
It is reportedly equipped with supplies and electricity.
Police have been able to lower medicine and coloring books into the bunker for the child.
The standoff started Tuesday afternoon when police say the suspect, Jimmy Lee Dykes, boarded a stopped school bus, demanded children and then shot and killed the driver when he refused to hand them over.
The family of the driver, Charles Poland, Jr. Is speaking for the first time.
"Every time a child got on my dad's bus they were no longer their parents, they were his. He considered them his children," says son Aaron Poland. "And I know that's the reason my dad took those shots, for his children, just like he would do for me and my sister."
Investigators describe the standoff as a "waiting game", and say neighbors believe Dykes has spent up to eight days in the bunker on previous occasions.

Arrange Family Meetings
Memorize Security Pass Codes
It is easy for a criminal to use keys found in a backpack or purse to enter a home. Finding the home's address is simple because identification including a driver's license is inside a wallet. In addition, thieves know how to make copies of keys to use to steal from homes, so children must never leave keys unattended.
Many homeowners now also have security systems installed in a home. Entering or leaving a house can require specialized pass codes. Kids must memorize those codes without revealing the information to others. At a family meeting, discuss keeping security codes and keys away from criminals.
Protect Information While Talking On the Phone
Alternatively, teaching a child how to hide inside a home away from danger is also necessary. At the home security meeting, discuss what children should do when a stranger calls on the phone. Individuals planning to break into a home often call first to learn if anyone is home. Children and teenagers must avoid telling strangers that parents are not home.

The Tutu Project Event and Pink Plus III Radios
Last September we released our short film about photographer Bob Carey and his personal endeavor called "The Tutu Project." Using PocketWizard technology, Bob employed remote camera triggering to take self-portraits of himself in a pink tutu. With his wife Linda undergoing chemotherapy treatments, she and her fellow patients enjoyed the photos. This led to The Tutu Project and the creation of the Carey Foundation to support women undergoing breast cancer treatment.
The series has proved incredibly popular, with media coverage from CNN, The Today Show, the BBC, and countless other media outlets. Last fall Bob photographed himself and survivors at a series of halftime events at NFL games.
PocketWizard is proud to announce it is cosponsoring an event to celebrate the Tutu Project's first anniversary. The event will be held at The Lab NYC, 122 West 26th Street, New York City, on Friday, March 22nd and Saturday, March 23rd, 2013.

Changstrom Earns Fourth MVC Pitcher of the Week Honor this Season
The four awards earned by Changstrom this season are the most since former CU pitcher Tara Oltman won five weekly honors in 2008. Changstrom has also claimed three MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week laurels in 2013.
Changstrom went undefeated against Southern Illinois with a pair of complete-game victories while surpassing the 200-strikeout mark. The right-handed pitcher fanned her 200th batter of the year on Sunday against SIU to become just the third pitcher in program history to accomplish the feat, joining former Bluejay aces Tammy Nielsen and Oltman. Changstrom's 208 strikeouts this season ranks eighth all-time in the CU record books.
In her two starts against the Salukis, Changstrom pitched 15.0 innings giving up just five runs on 10 hits, resulting in an ERA of 2.33. She only allowed the Salukis one inning of scoring all weekend and shut out SIU in the series finale.
The Lincoln, Neb., native struck out 23 Salukis on the weekend with a pair of double-digit strikeout performances. With a dozen K's in game one and 11 more in game three she increased her season total of double-digit strikeout efforts to 11 this season to lead the Valley. The rest of the league owns just seven games total with 10 or more strikeouts. No other MVC pitcher can claim more than three such efforts in 2013.
Changstrom held SIU batters to just a .185 batting average and only yielded five walks. Changstrom leads the Valley in ERA (1.56), strikeouts (208), opposing batting average (.195) and wins (19).
The award marks the sixth career MVC Pitcher of the Week accolade for Changstrom. She also earned the award in back-to-back weeks last month (March 11 and 18) for her efforts in Evansville and at the Rebel Spring Games. Additionally, Changstrom earned recognition on Feb. 25 with her showing in the circle at the Central Arkansas Tournament. Previously Changstrom won a single conference weekly honor in each of her first two seasons.
The weekly award pushes the Bluejays' total to five this season. Senior Amy Baker claimed Player of the Week honors on March 18.
Later this week, the Bluejays are scheduled to visit No. 21 Nebraska on Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. CT in Lincoln to complete the 2013 home-and-home series. The Cornhuskers escaped with a 4-3 victory at the CU Sports Complex on April 3.

ADAMS Ten Army jeeps sold in an auction at Dobbins Auto Salvage Yard earlier this month still have not been released to their buyers, as their origin continues to be researched by the state attorney generals office and Army investigators.
Gordon O. Dobbin, owner of the 10545 Route 11 business, said Thursday that he had not heard anything from investigators in several days.
Theyre dragging their feet, Mr. Dobbin said.
He said that communication with the state office about the sale was being done for him by his lawyer but that he hoped a resolution could be determined in the next few days.
I dont see what the problem is, but theyre trying to create one, Mr. Dobbin said.
Each of the jeeps sold at the May 4 auction went for bids ranging from $4,000 to $7,000. Customers then were directed to deposit 10 percent of the price until the sale was formally approved.
A spokesman for the state attorney generals office in New York City said Thursday that he had been informed the vehicles may have been meant to be destroyed and that none of the vehicles had a good title.
However, the lack of titles for the vehicles was known throughout the sale process. None of the jeeps sold May 4 had a title; winning bidders were told by auction officials that they would receive bills of sale.
Roger Trombley, regional senior sales manager for Alex Lyon & Son, Bridgeport, which conducted the auction, said May 7 that the Army had lost its records for the jeeps, so they could not be tracked.
The attorney generals office spokesman, who asked that his name not be published or the information attributed to the office, said he could not comment on whether Mr. Dobbin had done something wrong.
In a follow-up email, the spokesman said the older vehicles presented a safety hazard because of their tendency to roll when hitting bumps in the road.
However, during the sale, potential bidders were informed that the jeeps were designated as not for highway use.
A couple of buyers interviewed by the Times the day of the auction said they used the jeeps for presentation purposes or for use in low-risk driving situations such as veterans parades.
The origin and titles for the vehicles were questioned by Fort Drums Criminal Investigation Command a few days before the auction, although the auction had been listed for a few months previously.
On Tuesday, Christopher P. Grey, spokesman for the Army Criminal Investigation Command, Quantico, Va., said that the case was still open and that the office was consulting with the state attorney generals office in the matter.
Mr. Trombley, a 33-year member of the auction company, said May 7 that his company typically did not have problems selling military vehicles.
The state and military inquiry also has held up the sale of a series of military trailers auctioned off that day.

Office of Emergency Management
Today's earthquake, volcano, wildland fires and weather warnings. Click image for current data.
The Interior Geospatial Emergency Management System (IGEMS) provides the public with both an overview and more specific information on current natural hazard events. It is provided as an internet-accessible service by the Department of the Interior's Office of Emergency Management. more
The National Terrorism Advisory System, or NTAS, replaces the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS). This new system will more effectively communicate information about terrorist threats.
Interior employees can obtain an overview of emergency management programs across the department with the online training program "Emergency Management 201," which is now available in the DOI Learn catalog. The course provides an overview of bureau and office preparedness and response activities across the Department of the Interior, as well as a description of how response operations are coordinated at the Departmental and interagency level.
"Events such as Hurricane Sandy and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill highlighted the need for bureau and office leadership, emergency managers, regional coordination personnel, and incident managers to understand roles and responsibilities across the entire Department and ensure our activities are integrated with local, state, Tribal, territorial, and other Federal partners," said Laurence Broun, Department of the Interior's Director, Office of Emergency Management. "The EM-201 online training program includes perspectives from bureau and office personnel and represents our first attempt to use computer-based training to share this knowledge with those who may become involved coordination of major incidents."
With links to helpful web sites and a catalog of useful reference documents, the course also provides lasting resources for students well after they have completed the training. Most students will complete the training within approximately 60 minutes, providing an introductory awareness of terminology, concepts, and areas of responsibility for DOI emergency management.
Kerry Trojnar, an emergency management specialist in the OEM Continuity Programs Division, served as project officer for the EM-201 program. Information was provided by all bureau and office emergency coordinators. Several emergency management personnel are featured in video presentations, including Brian Hardison, Safety, Security and Emergency Manager in the Southeast Region, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Patrick Vacha, regional Emergency Manager in the Bureau of Indian Affairs; Polly Hanson, former Director of the DOI Office of Law Enforcement and Security; Dean Ross, Emergency Manager for the National Park Service; and Grant Sorensen, former Emergency Coordinator for the Bureau of Reclamation.
While the course was designed for employees with responsibilities for emergency management activities, it is available to any employee who would like to learn about the Department's emergency management programs. The course can be accessed on DOI Learn at https://gm2.geolearning.com/geonext/doi/coursesummary.CourseCatalog.geo?id=124346. For further information, or to obtain access to this training for non-DOI employees, please contact Kerry Trojnar, 202-208-2471, or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

ESSEX–The biggest game of the weekend for North Country sports fans took place deep in Hornet Country, as the Falcons and the Essex Hornets took to the ice with a trip to the Gutterson Field House for the Division I State Title on the line.
A sluggish start proved to be the Falcons' undoing, as Essex notched two goals in the first period en route to a 5-2 win.
"We played them three times (this year) and it seems that each time we played them we took a period off, and against that team you can't do that," said NCU coach Ryan Jacobs. "(Essex) is a solid hockey club and they don't have many weaknesses. They are very smart with puck and if you don't play forty-five minutes against them, you are in trouble."

Geometry is the root class of the
hierarchy. It is a noninstantiable class but has a number of
properties, described in the following list, that are common
to all geometry values created from any of the
Geometry subclasses. Particular subclasses
have their own specific properties, described later.
Geometry Properties
A geometry value has the following properties:
Its type. Each geometry belongs to one of the instantiable classes in the hierarchy.
Its SRID, or Spatial Reference Identifier. This value identifies the geometry's associated Spatial Reference System that describes the coordinate space in which the geometry object is defined.
In MySQL, the SRID value is an integer associated with the geometry value. All calculations are done assuming Euclidean (planar) geometry. The maximum usable SRID value is 232−1. If a larger value is given, only the lower 32 bits are used.
Its coordinates in its Spatial Reference System, represented as double-precision (8-byte) numbers. All nonempty geometries include at least one pair of (X,Y) coordinates. Empty geometries contain no coordinates.
Coordinates are related to the SRID. For example, in different coordinate systems, the distance between two objects may differ even when objects have the same coordinates, because the distance on the planar coordinate system and the distance on the geodetic system (coordinates on the Earth's surface) are different things.
Its interior, boundary, and exterior.
Every geometry occupies some position in space. The exterior of a geometry is all space not occupied by the geometry. The interior is the space occupied by the geometry. The boundary is the interface between the geometry's interior and exterior.
Its MBR (minimum bounding rectangle), or envelope. This is the bounding geometry, formed by the minimum and maximum (X,Y) coordinates:
Whether the value is
simple or
nonsimple. Geometry
values of types (
MultiLineString) are either simple or
nonsimple. Each type determines its own assertions for
being simple or nonsimple.
Whether the value is
closed or
not closed. Geometry
values of types (
MultiString) are either closed or not
closed. Each type determines its own assertions for being
closed or not closed.
Whether the value is
empty or
nonempty A geometry is
empty if it does not have any points. Exterior, interior,
and boundary of an empty geometry are not defined (that
is, they are represented by a
value). An empty geometry is defined to be always simple
and has an area of 0.
Its dimension. A geometry can have a dimension of −1, 0, 1, or 2:
−1 for an empty geometry.
0 for a geometry with no length and no area.
1 for a geometry with nonzero length and zero area.
2 for a geometry with nonzero area.
Point objects have a dimension of zero.
LineString objects have a dimension of
Polygon objects have a dimension of
2. The dimensions of
MultiLineString, and
MultiPolygon objects are the same as
the dimensions of the elements they consist of.

Reduced Price For My Book.
FYI, Two prominent evangelical philosophers will be reviewing my book this year. One reviewer is regarded by Christians as the dean of Christian apologetics. They're both sure to disagree with it, but if it's as bad as some Christians claim, then why would they even bother with it? I'll keep you posted, but give no further clues yet.

BDS Customers,
Over the last year, a number of City Bureaus have transitioned their websites over to the new Portland Refresh/portlandoregon.gov web layout. BDS is scheduled to go over to the new layout next Tuesday, October 8, 2013.
The new BDS website layout will maintain:
When you first visit the new BDS website layout, you may receive a pop-up window alerting you of the change. In addition, the top of the new layout will include a "BETA" symbol with an option to submit feedback.
Why are we doing this?
The Bureau of Technology Services (BTS) worked with bureau and community stakeholders to modernize the City's website and make it more user-friendly approximately 4 years ago. The outcome of this process was the Portland Refresh Project. Its intention was to create an active, accessible, consistent City web site where people can easily find information and conduct e-government transactions like paying a bill, applying for a license or submitting a form.
Some of the new features specifically improve:
Thank you for your patience as we launch the new website.

For your WWW editors, scouting the season's best shoes is more a beloved hobby than simply a job requirement! So naturally, putting together today's footwear-focused What Would She Wear story felt like all play and no work, especially since we're over the moon for spring's lust-worthy assortment of sleek stilettos, chunky platforms, and cool flats! So whom do we imagine sporting these standout styles over the next few months? Our predictions are in, and not to toot our own horn or anything-beep beep-but we think they're pretty spot-on! From perfect denim slip-ons to snakeskin color-block wedges, we bring you five of spring's most covetable shoes. Let the shopping madness begin!
1. Kirsten Dunst/Jenni Kayne D'Orsay Flats ($395) in Light Denim
Though you'll rarely find us sporting a pair of flats, we might have to make an exception for these uber-stylish slip-ons by Jenni Kayne. We love how light-wash denim gives them a cool and casual look fit for the weekend, yet the pointed-toe silhouette is sophisticated enough for the office too. As for their potential fashionable counterpart? We have a hunch Kirsten Dunst would also appreciate their understated luxury, a characteristic that mimics her chic sensibilities perfectly. Now, if these flats are a bit out of your price range, Anniel's Denim Lace-Up Derby Shoes ($170) or Soludos' Siesta Blue Chambray Espadrilles ($36) are two must-see alternatives.
2. Charlize Theron/ Gucci Mesh and Suede Sandals ($660)
If the always-glamorous Charlize Theron was reincarnated as a shoe, we have a feeling it would look a lot like Gucci's Mesh and Suede Sandal. Much like the actress' approach to fashion, these mesh heels are sleek, elegant, and the epitome of modern sophistication. Additionally, the classic nude hue instantly elongates your legs, making these sandals the perfect after-hours footwear choice! If you seek a slightly more affordable option, let us direct you to Loeffler Randall's nearly identical Criss-Cross Stilettos ($445)-they're a must! We're also crazy about the subtly sporty vibe of Charles by Charles David's Netizen Gladiator Sandals ($125), so don't forget to give them a glance too.
3. Alexa Chung/ Mugler Court Shoes w/ PVC Sides ($1225)
Our next footwear selection, Mugler's Court Shoes, was a no-brainer considering we're a wee obsessed with all things metallic right now. But how could anyone resist this pair, especially considering the contrasting black suede toes and metallic leather heels? They're completely chic and decidedly sexy! Surely Alexa Chung-another admirer of metallic footwear-would covet these heels too. We imagine the style ambassador wearing them with a streamlined shift dress to a fashion fete. Budget-conscious readers should check out Dorothy Perkins' Silver Pointed Court Shoes ($57) and Boutique 9's Orra Mirrored Pumps ($120), both of which are sure to make an equally enviable statement.
4. Solange Knowles/ Derek Lam Snakeskin Bristol Wedges ($850, available end of March) in Bone/Black/Peppermint
If we could only wear one shoe this spring it would definitely be Derek Lam's Snakeskin Bristol Wedges, and we suspect Solange Knowles would agree with our pick! Not only do the blocks of color and chic snakeskin speak brilliantly to Knowles' exuberant sense of style, but the delicate gold ankle straps are also perfectly on-trend for the season. Comfort points are awarded for the wedge heel, which will easily take you from day to night in style. Sure, these shoes are worth every penny, but we also adore See by Chloe's Block Wedges ($447) and Mark + James by Badgley Mischka's Riva Wedges ($265); the former features a pretty mix of pastel hues, while the latter comes equipped with a woven raffia heel.
Dakota Fanning/Acne Audrey Silk and Suede Mules ($500) in Yellow Silk/Mustard Suede
From Celine's buckle clogs to Proenza Schouler's slingback sandals (shown above), it's obvious Dakota Fanning loves her chunky platforms, which is precisely why we've matched her with Acne's equally amazing '70s-inspired mules. Featuring a glamorous mix of yellow silk and mustard suede, these shoes practically beg for a night on the dance floor! If you too are drooling over this fabulous pick, then perhaps you'll love the bold look of Report Signature's Sigsby Peep Toe Platforms ($200) and Topshop's Ankle Strap Wedges ($144).-Jessica Baker

Statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau state that 23 percent of Americans age 65 to 74 are still in the workforce. What are the driving forces behind a greater number of seniors still holding down jobs?
Certainly the present national economic outlook has something to do with it. But more importantly is that they didn't adequately provide for their retirement years and simply have to continue working.
Many people have misperceived notions about their retirement. As a result, they don't proactively save and make arrangements for the years when they want to retire. What worked for previous generations in terms of retirement may not be feasible in today's financial climate.
It's important to consider these facts about retirement early in your work career so that you'll be financially set when retirement age rolls around.
â¢Social Security is not the sole answer. Social Security payments will not singularly fund your retirement. It is conservative to expect that Social Security will amount to roughly one-third of your pre-retirement salary. Therefore if you earn $50,000 annually, you would get in the area of $15,000 in Social Security benefits a year. You do the math ... it's difficult to live on that amount in this day and age. Plus, you have to wait until age 67 before you're eligible to collect full Social Security benefits.
â¢Don't count on inheritances. Many parents or relatives are simply unable to earmark a large sum of funds for the purpose of inheritances. As health care costs continue to rise, money must be used to pay for that. Some people are also choosing to specify in their wills that money go to charity after their death -- not to family members. Therefore, thinking an inheritance will allow you to coast through retirement is impractical.
â¢Pensions are a thing of the past. Largely, the idea of pensions is a concept once enjoyed by earlier generations. The majority of workers today are not entitled to a pension at the time of retirement.
â¢The sale of a home may not fund your retirement. Even downsizing may not free up enough assets for retirement. Financial advisors frown upon using assets from home sales to pay for retirement.
â¢You could outlive planned retirement funds. Now that life expectancies have increased, planning for a few years of retirement (thinking you'll go on to a better place shortly after ceasing work) is foolish. Many healthy individuals go on to live 20+ years after retiring. That is why saving as much as you can in your working years is essential to securing your financial future in retirement years.
If you haven't already done so, investigate your company's retirement saving program and make monthly (or weekly) contributions to a savings plan. You can also talk with a financial advisor about your saving goals and retirement plans.
