I have had skin cancer and will have more and am waiting for my dermatologist to buy a non-invasive tester so he doesn't just freeze everything off or in the worse looking ones have me make a separate appointment for removal/biopsy.
Commercial launch of MelaFind in EU and US.
Well, more clinical results are in, showing that Melafind really works: http://archderm.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/archdermatol.2011.3388. As a result, I'm in too.
With the good news from Europe and the baby step taken by the FDA, the outlook is good that this undervalued stock finally get its due.
This stock will outperform the market through Q4 2011 and for many years to come. MELA has a device for which the very doctors that it was designed for have admitted a need. The device works, and all of the data from the trial that the FDA themselves designed with MELA confirms this. The data has been continually misinterpreted by the FDA, as well as by analysts and reporters. The labeling stipulations in the FDA approvable letter have also been shortsightedly spun to the negative because all of them have been on the table since the device was first presented for approval. The plan for commercialization has been shoddily analyzed by reporters and analysts alike. It is not only viable in that each unit can produce minimally 100K in revenue to perpetuity but also will be easy to launch to the market because it costs very little for the participating physician to lease one and the training time is minimal. The reasons behind this stock being so ridiculously cheap are a) the FDA's malfeasance and misinterpretation of the trial data. b) the completely misguided and shortsighted analysis, on all fronts, from all public channels whether they be analysts, reporters or otherwise. c)Blatant price manipulation that comes with low volume and a stock being in limbo.MELA is artificially cheap. Look for MELAfind to save hundreds if not thousands of lives and to absolutely annihilate the S+P for years to come.
It was approved by the EU recently and I believe it is going to be FDA approved.
If the F.D.A. would get on the ball peoples lives would be saved with Melafind!
Now that science panel approved, albeit by narrowest of margins, odds of FDA approval much approved. Now's the time to buy (gamble?). Watch the shares skyrocket w/ approval. Put stop at down 10% in case MELA does not get FDA okay.
Liability is great for a missed cancer diagnosis. Doubt that technology will ever be that accurate to allow company to be viable in the long term.
With the accuracy of the MELAFind device being statistically significant in comparison with dermatologists and with it's non-invasive nature it is sure to be a winning device.
Superior technology; FDA Approval pending; phenomenal sales and earnings potential
Since Mela-Find (r), is not a drug, I believe, FDA wonders what criteria to use to approve it. I'll predict FDA will approve it. How in God's name can they not approve an imaging device to identify the most deadly form of skin cancer. They dare not keep it from the public.
Everybody likes the sun
Based on MELA's press release, it is unclear if MelaFind will find new cases of melanoma that dermatologists don't already suspect. MELA's study was done in people the dermatologists already suspected melanoma, not the general public.
It is not a screening test and won't be useful in testing the general population, since the test is false positive in about 90% of the people WITHOUT melanoma.
There may be an economic advantage if it is cheaper than biopsy in that it will avoid the need for ~5% of biopsies.
The bottom line is that the test may fill a small niche. If it isn't significantly cheaper than biopsies, Insurance companies are unlikely to pay for it in today's climate of cost cutting.
Details below for those with the stomach for them:
From the MELA Blurb at http://medicalphysicsweb.org/cws/article/newsfeed/37805:
"MelaFind detected 112 of 114 (98% sensitivity …"
Sensitivity is the proportion of people with melanoma who have a positive MelaFind test. A perfect test would be positive in 100%, and MelaFind is very, very good according to this data.
In practice, this means if you are a doctor and suspect somebody may have a melanoma, a positive test will increase your suspicion, and you will go on to biopsy and treatment -- perhaps earlier than if you weren't sure and waited to see if the tumor grew before biopsy. If you have a NEGATIVE test, you can be pretty confident the patient doesn't have melanoma, because pretty much everybody with melanoma will have a positive test.
"MelaFind's specificity, the ability to accurately rule out disease, was significantly superior (9.5%) to that of the study dermatologists (3.7%) … "
Sensitivity is the proportion of healthy people without melanoma who have a negative test. Again, in a perfect world, 100% of healthy people would have a negative MelaFind test. In fact only 9.5% of them have negative tests, and 90.5% have false positive tests. Still MELA's test is about twice as good as an expert dermatologist (3.7%).
In practice, this means that if your patient has a POSITIVE test, they might have melanoma or they might just be part of the false positives in healthy people, so the only way to rule out melanoma is to go ahead and biopsy.
So the test is most useful when the doctor suspects melanoma, and the test is negative. Then he can reassure the patient and spare them a biopsy.
There is a trade off between sensitivity and specificity, if you make a test more sensitive, it is hard to make it more specific. Because melanoma is a devastating, life-threatening cancer, MELA chose to make the test very specific. This way nobody with cancer gets missed. The cost of an extra biopsy is relatively small both medically and financially.
Writing this little summary makes me wonder how useful this test will really be, since its primary utility will be for suspect patients with negative tests.
Melanoma is still a diagnostic problem for Fam.
physicians & this test will bring patients in early stage for treatment
No Thanks about the article. I have had frequent bouts with skin cancer; probably because of my frequent exposure to the outdoors playing golf, swimming, yardwork and living in The Sunshine State. I think Mela will hit it out of the park.
Promising technology that addresses a large and important health issue. Melanoma if not detected has a very low survivability. This company's product allows for detection comparable to the best experts in the field. FDA Approval is likely by Summer although there are significant challenges to successful commercialization.
Once approval is granted from the FDA on the Mela Find device every dermatologist in the world will be scrambling to buy one. MELA can only go up.

Indeed, while the debate over immigration reform is often overshadowed by anti-immigrant attack lines about immigrants "taking our jobs," here in my community immigrant business owners have been turning that line on its head for generations: instead of taking jobs, immigrant business owners like me are on the front lines of creating them.
I left my home in Puebla, Mexico with my husband in 1996 to build a better life for my family. I came to this country bringing my skills as a business woman and my perseverance to succeed. After 15 years of hard work, last year I finally had enough saved up to strike out on my own and start my beauty salon.
When we opened our doors, I knew my business would rise or fall on the contributions of my employees and the support of my local community. The truth is our local economy could use a boost. I believe immigration reform - reform with citizenship, reform that places a priority on reuniting families so workers can focus on doing their jobs and business owners can focus on building our businesses - can provide that boost.
Politicians are quick to recognize that small businesses are the engine of the American economy.
In fact, 18 percent of small business owners in the U.S. are immigrants. That's higher than the immigrant share of the population (13 percent) or labor force (16 percent). Here in New York state, the figure is much higher: 29 percent of small business owners are immigrants.
Walk down any street in this neighborhood and it's clear that immigrants are essential to the economy. I'm not the exception, I'm the rule. And that's true not just here in New York City, either. From San Francisco's Chinatown to Boston's Italian North End to small towns from rural Iowa to rural Idaho, immigrants are building businesses, revitalizing communities, and creating jobs in local economies.
In addition to our role as entrepreneurs, immigrants' labor and purchasing power are important economic drivers, too. My business can only succeed if I have a strong local customer base. In this community, like so many across the country, there are thousands of willing workers who are being held back from working, earning a paycheck, and paying into local economies only because they can't get working papers.
Some of my customers are caught in this catch-22. These are mothers and sisters who struggle to get by and support their families. They're aspiring Americans, but there's no line for them to get into to get on the path to citizenship and nowhere to turn for help. As a moral nation, how can we turn our backs on them? As a practical one, why would we turn our backs when it's shooting our economic future in the foot?
If we're serious about encouraging entrepreneurship and job creation across America, we need to get serious about immigration reform.
Comprehensive reform, with a roadmap to citizenship and a commitment to strong families, will clear the way for a new generation of immigrant entrepreneurs to start businesses, create jobs, and rebuild communities.
Sitting in my beauty shop and chatting with my employees and customers, we all know comprehensive immigration reform makes sense for our local economy. It's simple common sense. It's time for Congress to get the memo from Main Street, follow the bi-partisan leadership of the "Gang of Eight" Senators, and get to work.
Mary Guitierrez is the owner of Lupita's Beauty Salon in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood. She worked as a hair stylist for 10 years before starting her own business in 2012. She now has three employees. Guitierrez is a member of Small Business United, a network of local, independent small businesses in Brooklyn and Queens, New York (American Forum).

The Day Four of the Wimbledon Championships will see the top seeds yearning to advance in the next round of Wimbledon Championship. In the Men category, it will be the likes of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Milos Raonic and John Isner who will fight out in order to surge ahead for the Wimbledon title. Whereas the Women category will see top-seed Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, and Simona Halep among others playing on the lush green courts at the All-England Club on Day Four.
After securing wins in their first round match ups, players would ensure that they sail through in the next round. Complacency and some bad luck went against seventh seed David Ferrer on Day Three as he was defeated by a 23-year-old Russian Andrey Kuznetsov, who sailed through in the third round. Is there any upset on the cards, today?
Day 4 will also mark the beginning of Indian diaspora on Tennis' grandest stage (Wimbledon). Leander Paes along with Czech partner Radek Stepanek will begin their Doubles stint in the tournament. The vibrant Indo-Pak duo of eighth seed Rohan Bopanna and Aisam Qureshi will also began their Wimbledon run today.

Nyota Minerals' (LON:NYO) Tulu Kapi gold project in Ethiopia has taken another step forward after the country's mining ministry confirmed its definitive feasibility study (DFS) met the requirements for a mining licence.
Nyota added that after talks with the ministry over the fiscal and legal aspects of the Tulu Kapi plans, both parties believe that they are close to finalising the terms for the issuance of a mining licence.
The company has also received an extension of its exploration licence, which it said means it can conclude preliminary preparations for the resettlement of people living within the proposed mining licence area and further exploration at Tulu Kapi to optimise the project.
This includes the Feeder Zone drill programme, where results are anticipated very shortly, it said.
Richard Chase, Nyota's chief executive, added: "The Ethiopian Government's acknowledgement that our DFS and the ESIA [environmental and social impact assessment] comply with all requisite regulations for the issue of a mining licence means that we can now focus on negotiating the terms on which such a licence will be granted and raising the necessary funding.
"We are one step closer to developing Ethiopia's next gold mine."
Background: CEE owns 12% of Nyota and has 4 other drill sites in Ethiopia after it bought out Sheba.

A card table will lie flat on the trunk floor with room to spare! That's the first comment I have to make after a 300-mile weekend in the Sable. The back seat is quite spacious, too.
The driving experience isn't nearly as notable, unfortunately. That said, the floaty Sable (nee Montego) performs noticeably better, now that the 3.0-liter V-6 and the CVT have been replaced with Ford's solid 3.5-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic. The steering is actually pretty decent, too, considering the soft character of this car. Hustling it down curvy back roads can actually be somewhat entertaining, because--even at posted speed limits--the heavy Sable will squeal its tires, indicating that it's already nearing its own understeering limits.
Frequent chiropractic patients will likely appreciate the Sable's tall seats, but I wasn't a big fan because the chairs are so firm. Finally, I still like using the Ford/Microsoft Sync feature, but when I used the Bluetooth function with my Motorola Razr phone, I experienced some weird interference issues. Plus, the car had a hard time understanding the names I was saying, so I ended up dialing via the handset.

CLEVELAND -- City auditors may have pulled the alarm on payroll abuses about the Cleveland firefighters, but Channel 3 News found that the department's top brass are among those who collected the biggest overtime pay.
The city paid firefighters more than $6.5 million in overtime last year. The majority of the top earners -- those who got more than $15,000 in overtime -- were assistant chiefs, battalion chiefs, captains and lieutenants.
Channel 3 News looked into overtime citywide after an audit found instances of firefighters working a handful of hours a year and getting full salary and getting undeserved overtime.
While the audit looked at firefighters, Channel 3 found that assistant fire chiefs are among those who collected the biggest overtime pay.
That was the case in 2008, when the Investigator Tom Meyer found some assistant chiefs raked in up to $34,000 in extra pay. Records from the past two years show that's still the case.
One assistant chief boosted his pay by assigning himself $27,000 in overtime.
Overtime was paid out to employees all over the city last year but records show that most of the top 100 overtime earners work in either the police or fire department -- 57 are police officers, 25 are firefighters.
Seven of the top 10 are patrol officers working traffic duty.
Former police union chief Steve Loomis says all overtime is justified.
"That's what happens when you go to minimum staffing levels and you need to provide the services," Loomis said.
The extra pay hiked up total wages to more than $100,000 in many cases, with some workers earning as much in overtime as they earn for their yearly wages.

Sneak peak: Taylor Swift for CoverGirl's NatureLuxe
Though the advertisement is not set to be released until January 2011 with CoverGirl's new NatureLuxe line, we were given a sneak peak at the fresh line's new flawless campaign featuring having-the-best-year-ever-starlet, Taylor Swift.
NatureLuxe, CoverGirl's up-coming upscale sister line, was created as a nod to the affluent, environmentally and naturally-focused customer. Honestly, we think the delicate and lady-like Swift is a perfect fit! She looks – and yes, we're about to get super cliche – easy, breezy and beautiful. (Duh!)
"I'm really excited for people to discover the new NatureLuxe line from COVERGIRL! The Silk Foundation and Gloss Balm are really light and fresh, they feel amazing on my skin," she says in a release.
The two new products being released under the NatureLuxe line are formulated without fillers and chemicals, but rather with ingredients like jojoba oil, cucumber water, rosehip extract, mango and shea butter.
We bid cheers to Taylor, and are excited for this new line! (Don't worry, as always, well provide a full report.)

I've been meaning to get to this for some time: Rising Margin Debt.
As markets have risen, the effect on investors has been to borrow money to buy more shares. During healthy bull markets, increases in margin debt is not a bad thing: It provides fuel for further market gains. Its only when debt reaches excessive speculative levels that it is potentially problematic.
Our prior looks at Margin Debt saw a rise, but not to levels that reflected excessive levels (see NYSE Member Firms' Client Margin and NASD Firm Margin Levels Spikes to Record Levels).
Because it is so much larger than NASD issued margin, NYSE member clients borrowing matters more. While rising, NYSE Margin has not yet hit the levels that raise red flags. However, it is getting increasingly close:
"Such debt is accumulated by investors who trade "on margin" with funds borrowed from their brokers. As tracked by the New York Stock Exchange, margin debt rose to $270.52 billion in November from $221.66 billion at the end of 2005, the first time in more than six years that margin debt has topped $270 billion. December numbers will be available later this month.
That 22% increase left margin debt not far from the record of $278.53 billion, reached in March 2000 as the Nasdaq Composite Index was setting a record high. Last year's rise in margin debt occurred against a bullish backdrop for stocks, with widely followed market indexes notching double-digit percentage gains.
Market analysts track margin-debt activity as an indication of investors' appetite for speculative trading.
A potential pitfall for those trading on margin is a sharp decline in stock prices, which can expose investors to margin calls, requiring them to post additional collateral or see their brokers sell their securities. Some market watchers consider high levels of margin debt worrisome because a wave of margin calls triggered by a sharp market decline could exacerbate the selling pressure on stocks."
We will revisit this in the coming months as margin debt levels approach prior record highs . . .
Hungry Investors Boost Margin Debt

16 Responses to "Margin Debt Up 22%"
Since the margin debt high in March 2000, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of electronic futures by hedge funds and the average investor.
I am not sure of the aggregated levels of margin out there in the futures markets, but on average the forward e-mini S&P 500 contract trades around $800 Billion worth of dollar volume per day, whereas in March of 2000 it was only $50B/day.
The 'normal' margin for this contract is around 10%. Thus, 90% of this $800B that is flinging around each day is borrowed.
With the flourishing of the electronic futures contract, may other commodities, such as Oil are now an easy vehicle to trade by the average retail investor/trader.
Thus, Barry, as you like to look under the hood of the economic data…here is another area where the published numbers do not give either accurate enough, or sufficient data, to understand the whole story.
You mention that increases in margin during a "healthy bull market" is not a bad thing. However, I think this depends largely on the stage of the bull market. In the early stages, prices are rising from depressed levels, so there is little room or reason for price falls. Certainly not wide-spread price falls and not substantial price falls. Thus, margin calls are relatively few and those that exist can largely be met.
Near the top of a bull market, this is reversed. Individual stocks can fall a long ways, producing margin calls that more than a few investors are unable to meet. Furthermore, as the market turns at the top, a large number of stocks can fall substantially and together. This makes the pain not only intense, but wide-spread.
For these reasons, high margin levels are most dangerous after a long bull market. Unfortunately, it is after a long bull market that they are typically at their highest levels, as an increasing number of people are attracted by the rising prices.
Another perhaps unthought of angle….
Most brokerage accounts require shorting in a margin account. So, more margin can also indicate more short interest or more investors/traders setting up to short a bull market.
Even more possible downward pressure than simple margin buying.
hello from germany,
here is another view on margin debt and money market funds (private + institutional) in relation to the market-cap of the s&p500
Craig raises an important point. Margin debt can just as easily reflect shorts as longs, and anecdotal evidence certainly suggested a broadening of the short base in H2 last year- one of the reasons the rally was so durable.
I think I am more upbeat that just about anyone who posts here, and I haven't used my p.a. margin account for anything but shorting this decade.
Adding to these margin debts and futures trading around 250 billions dollars of borrowed money by corporations to purchase their own shares.
Adding to these numbers the leverage buy out shares collaterals against loans and paid at a premium of around 20% above market prices.
Here are very strong assumptions for a stronger economic expansion in 2007.
The good news are, that all these debts are repayable (through debts or banks provisions) except the bonuses.
Few banks have vested interest in pumping the markets.
IS there a graph of margin levels over 2000-2006 period so we can see margin levels at points of market correction such as in May 2005 for example?
If I was a broker/market maker etc., I would look at the margin levels of my clients (which represents the market at large), and go the other way i.e. buy the market if my clients are shorting on margin. This way I can squeeze them depending on how much pain they can take, thus keeping the rally going even further. Mmmmhh I wonder if this is an original idea of mine?
Carl has his arms firmly around this "anomaly". Hedge funds have exploded in popularity, and with that popularity comes more leverage (margin). This is especially true in Long / Short funds, Market Neutral, Merger Arbitrage, Commodity, Structured Derivitives, and Global Macro funds. Amaranth is the latest example of this two edged sword. It would be more useful to see (if in fact it is even broken out) what the RETAIL margin levels are, as opposed to Prime Brokerage.
Just out of curiosity, what is the *inflation-adjusted* level of margin debt?
When talking about just about everything, we adjust for inflation. Why not this, too?
I have a question about margin debt and shorting maybe someone could answer.
I'm net long though barely, none of my longs are leveraged. I have 2 accounts; 1 is a cash account which I'm long the other is margin which I only use to short. The short account has plenty of cash covering the short positions in full (currently by an excess of 25%).
I've read the comments above about margin being used by the Shorts so maybe these figures are not as bearish as they appear. However I'd like to know how my position would be reflected in these figures?
Even though I'm using margin, my short account is not borrowing any money, I'm borrowing the stock and I have plenty of cash in the account covering these shorts.
I'm sure there are many other accounts like mine, so does anyone know how accounts like mine would be factored into these "Margin Debt" calculations?
Margin = borrowing….stocks or "buying power". Short leverage is the same as long leverage.
The net of Barry's findings (imho) is that we should expect more volatility. Going long vols certainly makes sense in this regard….as a matter of fact many HF's are doing so — ON MARGIN! lol
One reason vols are so cheaps is the massive option selling…dividend capturing strategies, coupled with an option writing strategy. There were billions raised in closed end funds for this strategy over the past year.
"If I was a broker/market maker etc., I would look at the margin levels of my clients, and go the other way,…. I can squeeze them"
Since the fox is watching the hen house…. If I also ran mutual funds, I could use mutual fund money to drive short term prices up or down to squeeze my customer accounts.
As I mentioned earlier it looks like margin debt is in a vertical ascent having risen to 321 billion in February 2007. This is one indicator that suggests the market is in for a substantial change in pattern Obviously margin debt cannot continue to increase at this rate (almost a vertical ascent) for many more months. So it is likely that something will change its path. Either:
1) Margin debt will stabilise at high levels, something I am not sure there is a precedent for, and even then the stock market will be less likely to rise as it is the increase in margin debt that is pushing the market up ; or
2) Margin debt will start falling which would signal a major decline in the stock market similar to 2000.

From WSJ: (July 07)
'Margin Debt' Hits Record $353 Billion on NYSE
July 12, 2007 – Investors are borrowing record sums of money to finance trades on the New York Stock Exchange, according to data due out from the Big Board today.
NYSE officials attribute the trend to recent regulatory changes effectively allowing both small and big investors to take on more leverage, or borrowed money, from their brokers. So-called margin debt, a broad measure of leverage, jumped 11% to $353 billion at NYSE in May, up from nearly $318 billion in April.
Margin Debt Grows; Risk Grows Too
Over the years, we have repeatedly commented on Margin Debt. Its has been our well considered position that that Margin Debt is a normal part of Bull market expansion. Indeed, in the early and middle parts of any bull cycle, margin contributes to risin…

PageRank 2 in 2 weeks ... well done
Nothing for me...
I just saw that PR & Alexa are updating again!
NetBuilders has gone to 36992 Alexa
ProxLists.com has now Pagerank 2 & 1,094,752 Alexa
I hoped ProxLists' alexa would be beneath 1 Mil, but it isn't, so I think I just keep promoting it and keep going lower & lower
Tech-Faq raised from 4k to 5k btw...

<?php if ($youask == 'stupid question') { echo ('stupid answer'); } ?>
Not all sites are perfectly updated!
So, some will see their old Alexa...
And the reason I think the 1mil. sucks for proxlists, is because in their 'global stats' it said my Alexa was around 526k
So it's kinda stupid
|Nico Lawsons
I think alexa is being updated every week
Where do you check pagerank, for me I don't see that ProxLists.com have PR of 2 oO
Ah just check mine, the alexa rank for glypetheme.com is 699,037 great, however the PR stays PR2.
@Mr.Bill, are you the owner of centurian.org? yesterday I tried to submit a new proxy there however the confirmation page told me it cannot find the backlink when in fact it's right there at the footer.

This book describes how social identification and academic learning can deeply depend on each other, through a theoretical account of the two processes and a detailed empirical analysis of how students' identities emerged andhowstudents learned curriculum in one classroom. The book traces the identity development of two students across an academic year, showing how they developed unexpected identities in substantial part because curricular themes provided categories that teachers and students used to identify them and showing how students learned about curricular themes in part because the two students were socially identified in ways that illuminated those themes. The book's distinctive contribution is to demonstrate in detail how social identification and academic learning can become deeply interdependent.

December 1, 2015
The Grand Junction Police Department is currently investigating graffiti that has been spray painted on Main Street businesses.
Officers suspect that the graffiti was spray painted during Wednesday night or early Thursday morning and an investigation revealed that there were almost twenty different businesses and art pedestals in the Main Street area that have been spray painted.
The estimate is that the paint caused more than $1,900 dollars in damage, which the city will have to pay for.
The investigation will continue, and officers ask anyone that might have seen anything suspicious that night to please call the police department.

LAS CRUCES >> Lyndon Johnson was president, the price of gas was about 33 cents per gallon and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had yet to land on the moon. That was 1968 and the year also saw the start of what would become Tresco Inc., one of the largest nonprofit companies in southern New Mexico with more than 500 employees.
The organization recently celebrated its 45th anniversary with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Tresco works with individuals who have a disability, whether to help them find employment, to hire them for government-contracted jobs or to just provide assistance.
"We have 560 employees and about 20 percent are people with disabilities," said Human Resources Manager Gail Estell.
Between supportive employment and contracts with government there are about 220 workers with disabilities who are working right now thanks to Tresco.
"Our payroll for that group is around $3 million," said President and CEO Pam Lillibridge. "It's a win-win. The federal contracting group had done some economic studies. For example we do a lot of facilities, maintenance and custodial. For one full-time custodian that is a person with a disability, the taxpayer actually saves about $6,900 a year (per worker) in other benefits they might have accessed but because they are working, they don't, and the taxes they pay."
We have people who own homes in community and they are spending their money, the money they are making working. I was at Sam's on Sunday and a bunch of our folks were there eating and waving. Just enjoying being part of the community
Finding work
One of the functions of Tresco is to find employment for workers with disability and also help these workers find training if necessary. With job coaches, the nonprofit offers support for the employees. Vocational Services Manager Al Sanchez said that process involves working with businesses to find opportunities.
"Some people still have their stereotypes about people with disabilities," he said. "Our community is more receptive today because of all the people working in the community. I think we've broken some barriers but we still have a ways to go."
Estell has been with the company for 33 years.
"Employers know that Tresco supports folks with disabilities," she said. "More willing to hire somebody that's associated with Tresco's because of Tresco's reputation."
Sanchez said that there are some incentives for employers.
"We have job coaches to help individuals start the job and work with the employer," he said. "There's also a small tax credit. The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation also helps."
"We help them be successful on the job," Lillibridge said.
She said that in some instances Tresco even provides transportation for workers.
"Employment for people with developmental disabilities has evolved," Lillibridge said. "We were one of the first in the state to get a grant to start developing employment opportunities that were in the normal workplace settings. Prior to that, most folks with developmental disabilities, if they were employed, were employed in sheltered workshops and paid not much."
Tresco obtains contracts from the government - state and federal - and hires employees with disabilities to work on the jobs. For instance, Tresco has had the contract since 1990 to maintain Interstate rest areas from Texas to Arizona on I-10 and from Las Cruces to Albuquerque on I-25.
"It's been great employment for people," Lillibridge said. "We have people who have been employed there over 15 years."
Tresco currently has seven federal contracts that employ about 150 people.
"At White Sands (Missile Range) we have four contracts," Lillibridge. "We do grounds and custodial for the entire base."
They also provide workers to do shelf stocking and custodial at the commissary and also provide dinning attendants at the dinning facility, as well as other jobs.
"We do the custodial for the new federal courthouse here in town," she said.
In 1968, the present-day Tresco reports that it got its start when the Open Door Center opened its doors. The organization began with a volunteer staff in a facility on the property of Mesilla Valley Christian Church. The first day was Aug. 26.
"That was the genesis of today's Tresco," Lillibridge said.
By the end of 1971, the enrollment was 39 people and the group has a paid staff of five, part-time employees.
Later, in a new building on Nevada Avenue, Open Door bid on contracts for jobs such as cutting battery parts, making survey flags for El Paso Electric and other items.
Eventually, in 1982, Open Door merged with programs in Socorro and Sierra counties to create Tresco. The name is in reference to "Tres Condados" which translates to "Three Counties". Tresco is now located on 17th Street and still has a facility on Nevada Avenue.

REVIEW: Bride of the Rat God by Barbara Hambly
Dear Ms. Hambly,
The title of this book is what got my attention. I mean, how could it not? Once I saw it, I knew I had to read it. Who's the Rat God? Who is his bride? What on earth is going on here?
If not for her actress sister-in-law Chrysandra Flamande taking her in, WWI widowed Norah Blackstone would still be an underpaid, overworked servant to a nasty, older woman in gray Manchester, England. Sometimes Norah still can't believe how Christine blew into her life and whisked her away to sunny California as a companion to Christine as well as her three Pekinese dogs – Buttercreme, Chang Ming and Black Jasmine.
Though she can't act to save her life, Christine is in the movie business and the pampered mistress of studio head A.F. Brown who's given his "mad about all things Chinese" rising star a beautiful, though unusual, necklace reputed to have been looted from the Imperial Palace. On the night of the premiere of her latest movie two things happen – Norah meets camera man Alec Mindelbaum and an older Chinese man desperately tries to warn Christine of a life or death evil that's been raised by her wearing the necklace. Already used to the lengths that movie fans will go to in order to see their favorites, Norah dismisses the odd old man though she and Alec agree he wasn't like the usual fans.
But later that same night two more things happen – a stunt double who wore the necklace is brutally murdered and a violent storm blows through the area during which the three Pekes go berserk. The next morning the Chinese man, Shang Ko, appears and almost mystically manages to be hired as Christine's groundskeeper. Still, no one is willing to believe what he says about the necklace and how it means Christine is now promised to an ancient, evil Manchurian god. But when bizarre things begin to happen on a location shoot followed by a mind blowing event after a star studded party, Christine, Norah and Alec can't deny that something evil is lurking and maybe the old man is right. Can the four of them thwart the Rat God of his promised bride and keep from destroying half of Los Angeles while they do it?
After I read the glowing review of this book at All About Romance, I immediately ordered a used copy online that then sat on some bookshelves near my computer desk for years, silently urging me to read it. Finally I took it down and slid it into my reading rotation. Now that I finally read it, I wish I'd done so years ago. It's fascinating, well written, fast paced and packed with tension leading to a dynamite ending. It's also got a sweet romance between a woman who thought her heart was dead and a fantastic hero who's probably a good four inches shorter than she is, bearded and who wears glasses. Readers who want to experience an unusual hero need look no further.
A friend of mine has Pekes and the descriptions of Christine's three furry protectors are so accurate that they come alive for me as individual little people from Buttercreme's outraged hiding when people visit the house, to Chang's conviction that everyone is a long lost relative and finally little Jasmine struggling up and down stairs while being extremely vocal about that. They are also fiercely protective of both their mistress and Norah and play important roles in the ultimate take down of the Rat God.
The world of 1920s Hollywood with all its pre Hays Code wildness is vividly brought to life. The film stars of the day might have earned more money than the average American would see in a lifetime but the physical and mental cost of the 18 hour work days and churning out a film a month would need the easily prescribed cocaine to keep them going. And who cared for Prohibition? Free flowing booze, some of it even safely made!, was the order of the day. Sleek Nash roadsters, beaded flapper dresses and elegant cigarette holders add to the visual images that filled my head while reading the book.
As for the fantasy elements of the story, I guess if a reader is willing to buy a book called "Bride of the Rat God," then he or she will be willing to go along with the plot. Clues are woven into the story from the beginning but one thing I like is how you gently drop them into the narrative without pointing neon arrows at them. Yeah the premise, when examined as a whole, is outrageous but since it's doled out little by little, I had time to swallow the tiny pieces and buy into the whole shebang. The time frame of the story is also crucial since it draws on actual things which were common then such as powerful studio heads manipulating crime scenes to protect their investments, the simultaneous mania for China with the blatant racism against the Chinese in L.A., the specific locations in and around the city which feature in the book plus the "free for all" film industry of the day.
As well the danger is slowly revealed such as when Norah notices something about the foundation of Christine's house after the early storm that scares her yet it's another page or two before what alarms her is finally described. It allows time for my brain to magnify the mystery and terror of what could possibly be there and the implications that arise. Later on all the clues and forshadowing make sense but the whole thing is allowed to build to the thrilling climax.
The wealth of period detail, the pulse pounding ending, the complex characters, the tight narrative and three wonderful little dogs make "Bride of the Rat God" a winner for me. I wish it was currently in print but there are used copies to be found and an ebook version available. For people tired of vampires, were-creatures, Regencies, gazillionaire CEOs and secretly pregnant heroines this is something different to sit down and fall in love with. A

text: There are many programs about finance, but I feel the M.S. Degree in Computational Finance and Risk Management in Washington University is unique and perfect in many aspects. Impressive curriculum, no better way to learn than by practicing with R, very convenient by allowing me to watch the classes at any time and review them as needed, highly qualified professors, excellent support with Teacher Assistants, share knowledge/questions/answers with other students, and finally and very important, in a prestigious university. It is a challenging program and I enjoy learning from it. Definitely, this M.S. Degree has been one of the best decisions in my life. There are no words to express my gratitude to all and in special, to my professors and Teaching Assistants.

With just five days left until the season opener, one Vol is rising to the top of the quarterback pool.
Justin Worley will start at quarterback. He is the only QB on the roster with any game experience, and that fact got him the job, at least for now.
"It was a very, very tight race. I thought all four individuals did a great job. I thought they all really advanced their growth and development throughout the entire course of training camp but we just thought that Justin was just a little bit ahead of the other three individuals. I met with every single quarterback individually, myself and Mike Bajakian, so we always believe in handling everything in-house, and I told them that everything is judged by your productivity so we will continue to really look at that position, and not just that positions, but every position on our football team," said Jones in his weekly press conference on Monday.
Coach Jones says he will continue to evaluate the quarterbacks based on their performance, so Worley will have to prove himself on the field to keep the job.
"Any great competitor, you never look back behind you. You keep looking forward, you continue to progress and get better and better. Justin is extremely competitive. We don't ever want to create a scenario where they're always looking behind them but that's the world that we live in, that's football, that's competition. We're going to learn how to compete, not just on game day, but everything we do in our football program is based off of competition. We'll compete today, on Monday, and that's what our football program is all about."
The biggest thing that Coach Butch Jones says he'd like Justin to improve on is his leadership, and his ability to be vocal when his team needs him the most.
Worley commented that he was relieved to finally know who will start on Saturday. He agreed with Jones that he needs to work on his vocal leadership during stressful in-game situations.
Jones also said he doesn't know if he will play multiple quarterbacks against Austin Peay or not.
He also talked about his lack of sleep heading into this week, which he says just comes with the job.
"My mind has been racing. I woke up about three times in the middle of the night last night worried about the first day nuances. Having 11 men on the field. Getting your extra point team on. Getting your offense off the field. The transitions, the special teams, game management type situations. That is what I pride myself in the game management things that come throughout the course of a game. You can definitely feel the energy and excitement but I get more nervous in preparation Monday through Friday then I do on game day. To me that is when you prepare to win, that is when you deserve to win. Your preparation throughout the course of the entire week," said Jones.

What Car Looks Most Like A Fake Copy Of Itself?
You're looking at the recently-revealed new Ford Ka aka Figo. It's for developing markets like Brazil and India. I can't help but shake the notion that it looks like a fake copy of itself. »

Ford's decided smaller may not always be better. CEO Alan Mulally told Automotive News this weekend they won't be selling the Ka minicar or the next-gen-for-the-global-marketplace 2012 Ford Ranger pickup here in the U.S. [AutoNews] »
The 2009 Ford Ka is apparently going to be making a cameo appearance in the worst-named Bond movie in history — Quantum of Solace. We're a little terrified by the graphical shenanigans on the side of this car — "Greene Planet" — which we assume means there's going to be some kind of trendy Earth-friendly tie-in. Well,… »
Ford decided the world had seen enough unofficially official photos of the all-new 2009 Ford Ka. The spinmeisters at Ford Europe have let loose with high-resolution versions of the three leaked shots we've already seen, plus a press release sparse on real details, but huge on adjectives. Yes, the marketers have supped… »
Earlier this week, we got the first unofficially official look at the 2009 Ford Ka, the biggest little thing to hit the Ford lineup in years. Today we get an unofficially official look at its tail-end and the center stack, albeit in small-image fashion. Worry not though, as it seems everything is going according to… »
The first official image of the already-leaked 2009 Ford Ka has hit the web courtesy of the folks at CarTribe. Though we've seen shots of the car before, this is the first one we've seen given the photo studio treatment. As we reported, a Ford and Fiat agreement has led to a new Ka that shares many of its mechanicals… »
Ford's just released two press releases detailing an OMFG $8.7 billion net loss for the second quarter of 2008 (which includes a pre-tax special charge of $8 billion, $5.3 billion of which is for Ford North America). But more importantly to the enthusiast is news they'll be bringing to North America six European… »
After what feels like the world's longest production run — in reality a mere 12 years (seriously!) — the Ford Ka is finally getting an all-new model, and here's the car doing the replacing. As we reported way back in 2005, the 2009 Ford Ka will be based on the Fiat 500 in a bit of magical platform prostitution, and… »
With foreign car magazines like AutoBild you can never be sure if what you're getting is on the up and up, but these photos of the 2009 Ford Ka look legit when compared to other pics we've seen. Based on the Fiat 500, the littlest Ford should continue to maintain its popularity with this latest design. We look forward… »
We understand the Ford Ka is a roomy vehicle. Hell, it's even big enough for James Bond and many Bond girls, but the means this Spanish commercial goes to in order to express that notion is going to cause us to have some serious trouble sleeping tonight. The first one to identify what the hell those creatures are gets… »
We've got a chance to check out some exclusive video from the set of the new Bond flick, "Quantum of Solace." Yes, it's a silly name for a movie. But you know, the "Ka" is a silly name for a car — except for, you know, in Boston. So it seems like the two would work well together, which, if the video's right, will be… »
Autocar has images of a disguised production version of the 2010 Ford Ka. Ford Europe has partnered up with Fiat for their new baby, it's based on the same chassis as the 500 and Panda. Evident in the shots is a heavy sharing of interior parts with the 500, although Ford claims no visible parts will come from Fiat. »
You don't have to travel all the way to Southern Europe to see a New Ford Ka, as they're apparently running around Dearborn, Michigan (the Riviera of the Midwest, surely). It was lucky for us then that Jalopnik commenter TheMadAdder was around to snap some photos of a diminutive Ford hatchback as it weaved its way… »
We're a bit curious how the new Fiat 500-based Ford Ka is going to turn out, especially given how much we like the bizarre dimensions of the Mk. 1 Ka every time we see a Central American one driving down I-10. Will it stay true to its original form or is it destined for a boring, but more acceptable design? A new set… »

Take a trained dog, and order him to sit. Whenever he should so, reward him having a treat. Then make clear to vacation, and compensation him using another care for. Then have him move over, play expended and move and prize him together with treats hence. After a time, this could get kind connected with addicting for the two human as well as the dog. The reason dogs are usually so common as pets is due to their cute, loyal not to mention obedient mother nature herself and their capacity to be taught easily.
Naturally, we desire to reward our most dogs for their good behavior, and how to do which is with what dogs absolutely adore most: dog treats. Biscuits, bacon strip, marrow bones, sausages, you title its most dogs flip to deal with, and will continue flipping providing you provide them with a reason to take some action. However, its important to not reward your family dog with too many dog goodies. Obesity is a rising crisis among pets and even humans, and feeding your pet dog excessively can be detrimental so that you can his overall health. Obese household pets can suffer everyone same repercussions that persons with over weight can suffer from: arthritis, heart sickness, high bloodstream pressure, and possibly even cancer.
While humans have the ability to change their particular lifestyle behavior, pets usually do not. Your pet depends on you for diet plan and consequently a protracted, healthy everyday life. Dog treats should never contribute with a significant part of a dogs diet. Rather, dog deals with are meant as being a supplement or an intermittent indulgence. One pup treat 24 hours is plenty for the dog.
In addition on the frequency with that you choose to reward your dog with snacks, you might also control the nutritional value of the actual treats your pup consumes. You can pick out healthier dog treat brands that include all 100 % natural ingredients that offer your dog a balanced healthy eating plan. You may also find ample healthy home made dog cure recipes on-line. Reward your canine with self-made jerky cake, frozen peanut butter yogurt and liver cookies that happen to be easy in making and tastes great for your pet (though not really to you and me!). Your furry friend dog can appreciate any kind of treat for you to give them, so have you thought to give him a delicacy that is wonderful for his body not to mention his taste buds? As long because they are balanced and spontaneous, dog snacks are a great way to strengthen the particular bond in between you as well as man's supporter.
