Published on Wednesday, November 13, 2013
Today District 7 City Councilman Cris Medina filed a Council Consideration Request (CCR) that will update three aspects of the City of San Antonio's environmental policies. The proposal will ban single-use bags, order a cost-benefit analysis of going paperless for all City Council meetings, and update the Unified Development Code (UDC) to reflect the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
"The City of San Antonio spends $1.3 million each year – nearly $3,600 per day – dealing with waste from single-use bags," Councilman Medina said. "We have tried pilot programs and voluntary efforts, but they did not work. If you look around at fences, trees, curbs, and waterways all over San Antonio you can see how big of a problem these bags are. I want to make sure we do this in the right way. My goal is to give community groups, environmental groups, small businesses and large retailers all a seat at the table and a voice in this process. I think we all have the same goal – to save taxpayer funds and get rid of the mess."
The Citizen's Environmental Advisory Committee approved a resolution calling for a ban on single-use bags in September. Similar bans are already in effect in Austin, San Diego and Seattle, with bans proposed in Chicago, Dallas, and New York City.
The CCR also included a request for breakdown of the costs associated with printing, binding, and distributing for City Council budget sessions, committee meetings, A Sessions, and B Sessions, then performing a cost-benefit analysis that measures continuing the current paper-based system versus a tablet-based paperless system.
"As we start looking at what the public can do to help us save taxpayer funds and reduce our impact on the environment, we also need to look at City Hall and the City Council," continued Councilman Medina. "We generate hundreds of pages of documents each week that are used once, and then discarded. I want to see exactly how much this costs us and then see if it makes more sense financially to go paperless. If we can modernize and employ technology to save taxpayer funds and reduce the waste we generate, we should do it right away."
Finally, Medina's CCR seeks to update the City of San Antonio's Unified Development Code to reflect the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code standards for energy conservation in construction. These standards are designed to make new business and residential construction more energy efficient to reduce demand for generation and reduce monthly bills.
"Making these changes to the UDC will allow the average homeowner of a newly built home to save approximately $252 per year in utility bills," Councilman Medina said. "Buildings consume 40 percent of the energy in the United States and every kilowatt hour we can conserve is one that we do not have to pay to generate. This is a necessary update to the UDC that is overdue."
In response to Councilman Medina's proposal, Rachel Stone of Environment Texas released the following statement:
"Environment Texas applauds Councilman Medina for taking leadership on these important issues. San Antonio made a commitment to take strides towards a more sustainable future, and it is exciting to see the city forging ahead on that path. We are thrilled to see San Antonio moving ahead with the plastic bag ban to help keep the San Antonio River and neighborhoods clean. By investing in renewable energy and now increasing building energy efficiency, the city is reducing reliance on power plants and improving air quality, while setting a strong example for the state of Texas to reduce energy waste and help citizens save on their energy bills."
In his CCR Medina requested that the City Council take action within 90 days on the bag ban and UDC updates, and take action within 60 days on the paperless City Council proposal.

Shopping app shopkick, now 4 million users strong, made some big waves when it first opened for business in 2010. With its combination of in-store hardware and user-friendly mobile app that pinged customers with deals when they walked into a participating merchant, it looked like one crucial part of the mobile commerce puzzle -- actually getting people to use their phones to get deals on goods and buy them -- was finally cracked. Today, at a time when many startups still shy away from talk of business models, Shopkick has done something else: it's reached profitability.

Find out why Islanders MSG color commentator and former Islanders center Butch Goring as well as center John Tavares chose to wear sweater no. 91
Monday, 11.8.2010 / 9:20 AM ET / News
By Dyan LeBourdais
"When I was a youngster, my favorite athlete was a football player," Goring said. "My favorite hockey player was Gordie Howe, but he wore nine. Jackie Parker, who very few people would know, played in the CFL (Canadian Football League) for the Edmonton Eskimos and he wore number 91. I loved Jackie Parker."
Because of his love for the American-born football player, Goring said, "I always wanted to wear number 91, but it wasn't fashionable back in the '60s or even the '70s. Back when I first turned pro in '69, I wanted to wear 91, but they wouldn't let me."
Instead, Goring switched the numbers around, and for 10 years, the center sported sweater No. 19.
Then during the 1980 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Goring was traded to the Islanders and in his first 12 games with the franchise he wore sweater No. 21. But the following season, Goring wanted to get back to his roots, and again he asked to wear No. 91.
"When I came to the Islanders, (Wayne) Gretzky was in the League (and he wore 99) and Phil Esposito was wearing 77. So I had the opportunity to wear 91," Goring said.
"It wasn't because Bryan Trottier wore No. 19," Goring continued. "I had worn 19 in LA, but it wasn't like many people think. I didn't just switch the numbers around. Ninety-one was the number that I always wanted to wear."
In his final NHL season (1984-85), the second Islanders player to wear sweater No. 91 wasn't even born yet. Five years later, John Tavares would be born in September 1990, the ninth month of the year. Then in 2009, at the age of 18, the center would be selected by the Islanders first overall in the NHL Entry Draft and he would play in his first professional game at 19-years-old.
As the first-overall draft pick, Tavares was unquestionably allowed to choose his own sweater number and the skilled forward chose No. 91.
The Tavares family has a history with the No. 9.
"Nine has always been a number in my family," Tavares explained. "My uncle used to wear nine in lacrosse. My mom was born on the ninth day of December. I'm born in September, the ninth month. So it's always been a number that's been associated with my family and it just kind of suited me ever since I was young."
But the No. 9 is just half of the equation. When he was young, Tavares started wearing the No. 19.
"In minor hockey, I wore nine or 19, but mostly 19," Tavares said. "Then the last team I played for before I was drafted in junior, one kid had 19 on the team and he didn't want to give it up. I didn't blame him so I just kind of flipped the numbers around that season."
Flipping the numbers worked for Tavares.
"I had a really good season and at the time, no one was wearing it at all except probably Sergei Federov in the NHL, who was really making a name for that number," Tavares said. "And I kind of wanted to make it mine. It's more popular nowadays, but I've had it ever since then."
Tavares really seems to fit in with the Islanders clan. Whether he wears No. 91 like Butch Goring or the No. 19 like Bryan Trottier, which now hangs in the Coliseum rafters, Tavares is hoping to bring a Stanley Cup back to Long Island.
"It's a pretty good guy that wore 19 here so hopefully I can do something that he's done and bring a Cup back and bring a lot of success back to this organization like Trotts (Bryan Trottier) did," Tavares said.

I read the sample adventure, it was very professionally put together. It was good for 1 session I imagine. Maybe get a party 1/3rd to 1/2 way to second level.

I am one of the remaining play testers for the AdventureAWeek.com site, I was lucky enough to get on board early enough to be able to really see the vision Jonathan Nelson and Todd Gamble have come together. I can tell you first hand there is a stockpile of adventures already written, with more already in planning, the site is not going to run short anytime soon. On average the adventures are lasting anywhere from 1 to 2 sessions of play, and range from heavy combat, classic dungeon delving, to more mystery based. There is a unique setting and storyline that carries through each adventure, and consequences of actions taken in one will carry over to others down the line. Having said that, Jonathan has taking great care to make sure if you as a GM want to pick up the adventure and drop it somewhere else, all adventures on the site can easily be reworked for different settings with little to no work.
As far as experience in the industry, Jonathan's got 25 years under his belt gaming, and is a well received DM by many players who are currently working in the industry.
Todd's got 3 ENnies, he's an amazing cartographer and game designer. These two are the driving creative force behind this project. And that's not even mentioning the artist Tim Tyler, and his amazing work bringing the unique creatures and NPC's to life.
I understand the trepidation at investing in a project without seeing big names on the letterhead, but let's face it, who was Paizo ten years ago? The magazine Dungeon ran for how long? It was filled monthly with adventures written by folks like you and I.
And yes, I have no doubt there will be those who join, stockpile, and leave. Their loss. The site is designed with a mass amount of hyperlinking, leaving a game master free to run an adventure, rather than hunt down statblocks or maps. Everything on the site will be at ones fingertips, including the soundboard for effects. Not to mention the subscribers area with added bonuses.
These guys have put their hearts and souls, and an immense amount of experience and knowledge into designing a model that will hopefully be accepted and do well. Their adventures are solidly written, the cartography is amazing, and the art is inspiring. Subscribe for a month, try them out. At the absolute least, price wise, this site is offering adventures and support material at an insanely cheap rate.
And discussion regarding POD material is already being kicked around, so there's always a possibility

Having recently been burned by Dungeonaday (I resubscribed for a year just before they announced their plans to shut down), I have serious reservations about this site.
Also, the sample adventure has some issues that concern me:
1) The map has no scale.
2) The Blade of the Sun Lord is described as an artifact, and we're told that the runes on it radiate magic, but we're not told what kind of magic the runes radiate, the strength of the aura, or anything at all about what powers the Blade has. Did I miss something? This seems like a major omission.
3) There doesn't seem to be any way to run the adventure without having a laptop or tablet in front of you. That alone is a deal-breaker for me. The FAQ says, "As a member you gain access to the adventures and may run them straight off the website." I don't want to run them right off the website.
So, based on the sample adventure, I would not subscribe to this website.

I'm going to keep the page bookmarked for now and I'll check back now and then, but if there is not a downloadable version available for subscribers, I won't become one.

In the end, this is more along the lines of what this site is, a collection of adventures with support material made available at the rate of a new adventure a week. If the model doesn't work for some folks, that is to be understood, not everything will work for everyone. but the guys founding AdventureaWeek.com are looking at where gaming is going, and we're seeing more and more publishers and companies aiming RPG product towards the virtual as playgroups go online, and GM's taking advantage of more and more PDF's to build vast libraries that require no room, at a fraction of the cost of dead trees.
Again, I understand this model doesn't work for everyone, so do they, which is why PDF's and POD have been discussed, but the site isn't even open yet folks, let them walk before you tear them down. They just might surprise you.
EDIT- As Jonathan has reminded me PDF downloads are free to Annual Members and $7 each for everyone else... Member or not. So the site is actually very usable for offsite preference.

Finally, as this was a example module (I believe that's the case) I just copied it to a Word document, deleted the parts I didn't want, amended others to fit my campaign, printed it off and used it without a bit of kit in sight. The copying and printing bit of this took less than a minute.
As I say, just an alternative view and different experience to Johnny's, one that was seemigly much more satisfactory for me as a GM and enjoyable for my players, as the points he raises didn't seem to affect their game-play in any way because two out of three didn't exist and one didn't matter as I could get an answer for them.

I like the basic concept - as a customer it seems like a reasonable deal, assuming the adventures are good; and I've no reason to suspect they won't be.
It's a standard work-for-hire agreement, but with royalties rather than direct payment.
It's the royalty-only issue that would stop me. Are there any plans for paying a flat fee per word in the future? I know it's tough as a start-up to do that (ENP worked on royalties at first, too) so I completely understand why the deal is structured that way at the moment; but royalties-only is categorically not a good deal for writers (or for any type of freelancer). Hopefully you guys can move towards a regular pay structure at a later date.Authors which have their material accepted and published on AaW receive 40% of all PDF sales in the Adventurer's Mercantile online store (where all PDFs are available for individual purchase).

STEWART AIRPORT — The end of service to Atlanta and fewer seats available on other flights sent passenger traffic at Stewart International Airport plummeting to its lowest level in six years in 2012.
Figures presented to the Stewart Airport Commission Tuesday showed 364,848 passengers went through Stewart's turnstiles in 2012, a drop of 11.8 percent from 2011, when 413,815 passengers used Stewart.
That was the lowest yearly passenger total since 2006, when there were 305,753 passengers.
Mike Torelli, Port Authority's manager of property and business development, said Delta's decision to drop its two daily flights to Atlanta in September was a major factor in the decline.
But Stewart's three airlines also cut back on the number of seats available on the remaining nine daily flights during 2012. Each month since April, the passenger numbers have been down compared with the same month in 2011.
The numbers really started to fall after the Atlanta flights ended. Passenger numbers were down 27.8 percent in September, 33.14 percent in October, 24.78 percent in November and 20.35 percent in December.
Port Authority officials have repeatedly said they are committed to Stewart despite the downturn in 2012.
They continue to offer what airport General Manager Richard Heslin has called "the best incentive plan in the nation" in an effort to lure airlines to Stewart. The incentive includes payments based on the number of seats, as well as marketing and advertising support, to any airline that will offer direct flights to new destinations.

Wigan wake up and smell the coffee after there shock exit from the carling cup, last
year they were finalists !!
League One side Crewe dumped Premiership Wigan out of the Carling Cup in the second round thanks to goals from Rodney Jack and Nicky Maynard.
Last year's beaten finalists Wigan were stunned when Jack opened the scoring just before half-time, thumping in Luke Varney's cross.
And Maynard rounded off the win when he converted another Varney cross in the 90th minute.
Paul Scharner and Emile Heskey failed to convert Wigan's best chances.
The Latics, with five changes to the side that drew 2-2 at Everton at the weekend, shaded the opening period.
But they were generally restricted to long-range efforts and never convinced in their search for an equaliser after the interval.
However, Alex goalkeeper Ben Williams made some fine saves when called upon - particularly when he tipped Heskey's late effort round the post.
Earlier, Scharner had headed straight at Williams when he could have done better.
Crewe: Williams, Jones, Baudet, Cox, Otsemobor, Vaughan, Roberts, O'Connor, Varney, Maynard (O'Donnell 90), Jack (Rix 83).
Subs Not Used: Tomlinson, Higdon, Lowe.
Booked: Baudet.
Goals: Jack 42, Maynard 90.
Wigan: Pollitt, Wright, Jackson, Hall (De Zeeuw 53), Baines, Teale, Scharner, Landzaat, Kilbane, Johansson (Heskey 71), Cywka (Montrose 63).
Subs Not Used: Filan, Owens.

Stories of Crimes, Trials and Appeals in Civil War Era Missouri
Frank O. Bowman III
University of Missouri School of Law
October 1, 2009
Marquette Law Review, Forthcoming
University of Missouri School of Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2009-28
This paper explores criminal appellate practice in Missouri from the time of statehood in 1821 until the 1870s, with particular focus on the decades before and after the Civil War. The article uses the stories of three trials in and around Columbia, Missouri - an attempted rape case against a slave that resulted in a lynching, a murder case against a white farmer that ended in his execution, and another murder case successfully appealed - to explore the legal culture of the period. All three trials involved two prominent central Missouri lawyers, James S. Rollins and Odon Guitar, who were also important political figures in Missouri's Civil War. The article weaves together the trials, the biographies of Rollins and Guitar, and an exploration of contemporary rules and trial and appellate norms to explain the relative dearth of criminal appeals in mid-19th Century Missouri, and the factors that gradually produced an appellate system more like our own.
This paper was written for a symposium at Marquette Law School on criminal appeals, but it arises from a larger project examining the social, military, and legal history of central Missouri before, during, and after the Civil War.

OAKLAND -- It's been a few years since Max Godino has done any silkscreen printing. But at Sunday's East Bay Mini Maker Faire, the Oakland resident was busy dragging black ink across the surface of a screen atop a T-shirt soon to be emblazoned with a grinning, Day of the Dead-style sugar skull.
"I've done a little bit of silk-screening but it's been a while," Godino said a few minutes later, grinning with pride after putting on his newly decorated garment.
His young companions, 6-year-old Isaiah and 8-year-old Annika, were hard at work on their own shirts, coloring in freshly silk-screened sugar skulls with fabric marking pens.
Their next project? "We're going to make butter!" Annika said excitedly.
The industrious crew was one of hundreds of families and other folks buzzing around Oakland's Park Day School and the neighboring Studio One Art Center during Sunday's fair.
A smaller East Bay version of the annual and much larger Maker Faire, which is produced by Make magazine, the one-day event showcases the handiwork of everyone from computer scientists to clothing designers, and is a billed as a celebration of all things creative, inventive and resourceful.
And like its larger sibling, the fair gives everyone a chance to connect with artists and inventors while allowing them to participate by learning a new skill or by doing something with their hands -- whether it's stamping metal, building a rocket or making seed bombs out of compost and clay.
"It's a great introduction for people to hands-on artmaking," said Teri Gardner, communications manager at the Richmond Art Center, as she watched a gaggle of kids and adults hammering away on metal strips at the center's booth. Next door, more adults and children pounded away at The Crucible's make-your-own-copper-charm booth, stamping designs into small metal discs.
However, there was much more going on than jewelry-making and metal smithing; the fair is the kind of place where you can get your toaster fixed or show your athletic prowess by scaling a tower -- a tower you've made, of course.
Which is exactly what was going on in the "crate stacking" area, where adults and kids tested their climbing skills by ascending a column of plastic milk crates. One crate is placed on top of another and scaled, until you -- and them -- come tumbling down.
If you're less of a daredevil, there's quieter, more contemplative activities. You could try your hand at wood puzzlemaking at the Mothership Hacker Moms booth, run by the self-proclaimed "first women's hackerspace" for do-it-yourself craft and design, or sit under a tree and watch Berkeley resident April Gavin, who creates traditional Navajo weaving, work on a portable loom.
While Gavin is no stranger to demonstrating her craft in public, this was her first Maker Faire. And like most makers who find community among like-minded artists, creatives and inventors, she didn't come alone.
"I invited my friends," Gavin said with a smile, nodding toward the two weavers sitting near her at looms made from painting easels, deeply engrossed in their work.

Remember that Walden's Title IV Code is 025042.
The Emergency Preparedness specialization is designed to help you be personally and professionally prepared to respond to a disaster. From mitigating risks to recovering from a catastrophe, health education and promotion plays an integral role in responding to emergency situations. Study critical issues in emergency management; strategies for assessing, preparing for and preventing disasters; and lessons in how to help others deal with disaster, crisis and trauma.
This sequence represents the minimum time to completion. Time to completion will vary by student, depending on individual progress and credits transferred, if applicable. For a personalized estimate of your time to completion, call an enrollment advisor at 1-866-492-5336.
Note on Certification
The MS in Health Education and Promotion has been designed to reflect the Seven Areas of Responsibility for Health Educators outlined by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHEC) and to prepare students to sit for the national Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) and Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES) exams. Walden enrollment advisors can provide information relating to national certification exams; however, it remains the individual's responsibility to understand, evaluate, and comply with all requirements relating to national certification exams for the state in which he or she intends to practice. Walden makes no representations or guarantee that completion of Walden coursework or programs will permit an individual to obtain national certification. For more information about the CHES and MCHES exams, students should visit http://www.nchec.org.
In this course, students cover the origins and evolution of the concept of health, including some of the important health problems that face the world today and emerging concerns for the future. Learners in this foundational course are introduced to key events in history as well as some of the health systems and issues that a modern health practitioner may encounter. Strategies for success as a graduate-level scholar and a health practitioner are integrated in a way that provides meaningful context to learners. Students discuss key concepts with peers, and the course culminates with a reflection paper designed to help learners evaluate where they fit in and how to progress as a scholar and a practitioner. Students explore careers in various public health and health education settings and experience a virtual health department to learn about various functions and personnel.
What does it mean to be a health educator in the 21st century? Students in this foundation course explore the field of health education: historical milestones, current issues, and future opportunities and challenges. They examine settings for practice, professional competencies, interprofessional collaborations, credentialing, professional organizations, use of technology, and ethical issues pertaining to health education. Students will also analyze current issues in the field by reviewing scholarly publications and research pertaining to health education practice. Course assignments also include an introduction to commonly used health education theories and models, and students will have the opportunity to develop a philosophy statement for health education practice in the new millennium.(Prerequisite/Corequisite: HLTH 6XXX - The Evolution of Health—foundations course.)
It is important for health educators and other health professionals to understand the unique characteristics and health needs of a community in order to provide effective and relevant health education and services. This course will introduce the student to the principles and processes of needs assessment and community capacity-building as a first step in the program planning process. Students will learn about individual, small-group, and community-based assessments as well as quantitative and qualitative approaches. Students will directly apply what they are reading and discussing in class to their own communities by conducting an assessment unique to their community. Other topics covered include: use of primary and secondary data; exploration of instruments to collect community data; interpretation and analysis of data, and prioritization of health education needs. Community mapping tools and other technology used in the assessment process will also be explored.
In this course, students will identify and discuss social and ecological perspectives of public health including individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, societal, and public policy factors. Students will explore the socioecological model (SEM) and other theoretical frameworks to prevent morbidity and reduce mortality from major causes of disease. The range of topics are primarily centered on the U.S.; however, recognizing the growing need to understand how disease impacts the global community, international settings will also be explored to deepen the understanding of public health perspectives. Students will apply these frameworks and other theories presented in the course to address current public health problems and reduce health disparities. Students will demonstrate their understanding of the SEM through researching and describing a specific health issue in their community, discussing contributing factors, and proposing an appropriate intervention. They will also share ideas and perspectives and provide feedback to peers through discussion forums.
The focus of this course is on the competencies required of the public health professional in planning for the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of community health promotion and disease prevention initiatives. Attention is given to needs assessment, logic models, and collaboration with stakeholders. Strategic approaches to planning, implementation, and evaluation with particular attention to study design and sampling are addressed. Health behavior theories are considered in the development of health promotion programs, the application of evaluation findings, and prioritization of community concerns and resources.
Effective communication plays a vital role in the diffusion of a health behavior or innovation. This course is designed to introduce the health educator to a wide range of health communication strategies. Assignments will allow students to apply and evaluate the use of health education delivery methods for various populations and practice settings (i.e., community, clinical, work site, global, schools, etc.). Principles and theories of health communication and behavior change will be applied to a variety of health education case studies. Students will also demonstrate how to design and communicate culturally tailored health information to an audience of their choice. They will also explore the use of emerging technologies and social media in delivering and promoting health education. (Prerequisites: HLTH 6XXX - The Evolution of Health (foundations course), HLTH 6XXX - Exploring Health Education in the 21st Century, HLTH 6XXX - Assessing Community Needs for Health Education.)
Public health professionals use the results of research in many ways, including in the development of programs and interventions designed to enhance the health of communities as well as to demonstrate the efficacy of programs to stakeholders who provide funding. In this course, students will engage in an examination of the research that informs public health programs, policy, and practice. Specific topics to be covered include study designs, sampling, identification of variables, methods of data collection and analysis, key concepts in measurement (including reliability and validity), program evaluation, and research ethics. As a major assignment in this course, students will engage in an integrative literature review and begin to develop what may become their capstone project.
Students gain a foundational understanding of the administrative, managerial, and organizational practices of public health and healthcare delivery systems. Students examine theories of leadership as well as the professional attributes, skills, styles, and strategies required to advance public health goals. They engage in a variety of contextual and practical assignments focused on management theories, policy processes, systems thinking, strategic planning and partnerships, quality and performance improvement, leadership, and organizational behavior. Students also consider the impact of global trends on public health practice, policy, and systems.
The Capstone course is intended to be taken last in the M.S. in Health Education and Promotion program. It provides students with an opportunity to synthesize knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program by completing a Capstone project focused on social change. The M.S. in Health Education and Promotion Capstone project is designed to empower students with the skills necessary to secure external grant funding through grant proposal writing. Students will integrate theoretical and practical knowledge as well as scientific research to prepare a grant proposal for funding a health education program which addresses a pressing health need in their community. Emphasis is placed on grant sources and resources, the grant proposal process, grant management, and sustainability. (Prerequisites: All courses in the M.S. in Health Education and Promotion Core.)
Students in this course examine the theories and concepts underpinning contemporary emergency management and how to understand the phenomena of natural and human-caused disasters. Students examine the historical context of emergency management, the general process of risk assessment, the emergency management cycle, communications within emergency management and crisis planning, and the general policy and legal framework surrounding the process of emergency management in the United States with a focus on the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Case studies of major catastrophes are used to explore contemporary and practical hazard management. Students can complete the FEMA Emergency Management Institute courses IS-100.b - Introduction to Incident Command System and either IS-800.b - National Response Framework: An Introduction or IS700.a - National Incident Management System as part of this course. Nationally recognized certificates are awarded for successful completion of FEMA courses.
Risk assessment and mitigation are key components to effective all-hazards emergency management. In this course, students focus on the methods and techniques required to assess a community's risk and what measures are needed to protect human life and capital assets. Students can learn ways to evaluate the social vulnerability and identify special needs of populations who may be at greater risk during an emergency or disaster. Students then explore methods to reduce risk and build capacity through preparedness and mitigation techniques. In addition, as part of this course, students complete the FEMA Emergency Management Institute course IS-393.a: Introduction to Hazard Mitigation.
Issues in disaster response are concerned with meeting basic and humanitarian needs of disaster-affected populations. Issues include evacuation, relocation, and tactical and strategic decisions in the immediate aftermath of an emergency episode. Recovery begins once the immediate threat of the emergency wanes and the focus shifts to restoring disaster-affected areas. Students will learn about important federal policies related to disaster response and recovery, including the National Response Framework (NRF), and will gain an understanding of how local, state, and federal policies mesh in response and recovery efforts. Students will complete the FEMA Emergency Management Institute course IS208.a State Disaster Management as part of this course.
Students on this course are provided with an overview of terrorism—local, national, and international—and the need to develop a systemic approach for emergency preparedness. Topics include terrorism and public health, bioterrorism, biosecurity, cyberterrorism, risk assessment, implications for public health, and components of a systemic preparedness infrastructure. Students participate in online discussions and begin the development and/or analysis of a terrorism preparedness infrastructure.
Students define natural and human-made disasters, such as war, violence, genocide, and terrorist activities, and review how they impact the psychology of individuals and groups. Topics include theories of trauma; actions and behaviors following a disaster; stress, coping, and adjustment difficulties; psychological disorders (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder); and available resources to deal with the trauma. The emphasis is on the importance and development of culturally appropriate service delivery programs and interventions for individuals affected and traumatized by disaster(s).

Patterson's People - Shake Hands With The Devil/ Deadly Nightshade
Label: Mercury
Year of Release: 1966
"I just come up from Hades/ To mingle all among you ladies/ Shake hands with the devil..."
There's an attention grabbing first line for a single if ever I've heard one. By 1966 the music buying public had already been treated to a wide variety of artistes using diabolical imagery to turn heads, so this single won't have been anything new - but I'd be willing to bet that it still upset some folks in certain quarters.
There again, perhaps it was actually just largely ignored by the radio DJs for other reasons, but I find that staggeringly hard to believe for a single so good. "Shake Hands With The Devil" is a piece of mod soul which seems from the very first play as if you've known it all your life - and whilst this may be because it falls back on a few cliched riffs here and there (the "Mustang Sally" descend, for example) it's also swings thrillingly. The organ screeches, the vocalists scream, whilst beneath a steady, nagging rhythm maintains law and order. It's the kind of raw and dancefloor friendly sound you'd expect from a single emerging from the USA at this time, but amazingly Patterson's People actually stemmed from the incredibly dull Aylesbury, whose only real claim to fame to this day is being Bill Drummond's retirement town.
The B-side "Deadly Nightshade" has been given rather more attention by compilers of sixties rarities compilations over the last ten years or so, which is baffling as it doesn't sound like anything particularly special to me. It does admittedly have a slightly more psychedelic sound, however, which may add to its appeal to collectors of that genre.
As for Patterson's People, this was their only single. If anyone saw them play at the time or knows what became of them, please feel free to enlighten me and the other readers - certainly, of the British acts I've heard doing material of this style from this period, this record makes them sound like they would have been a very convincing live proposition.
Sorry for the pops and crackles at the start of "Shake Hands With The Devil", by the way. They do clear up after the first few seconds.

The group disbanded and one of the members, David Wenden, moved to Africa and continued as a folk musician, sadly passing in South Africa in 1980 at the age of 37.

Well, as well as Dave Wenden there was Patsy Archer and his brother Arthur 'Boy' Archer..who was my step-father.
He worked as a bouncer at Friar's in Aylesbury and passed away in 1988 - sadly I lost contact with his brother.

The. 'P Black' credited as co-writing 'Shake Hands with the Devil' was my cousin Peter. He had a varied career, mainly in creative arts and went to live in Australia many years ago. He had a minor role in Neighbours as Sgt. Mooney. Sadly he passed some years ago now with throat cancer. There used to be a programme on the radio on late Friday afternoons where new releases were played...(think it was Emperor Roscoe ???) and discussed.... And I remember sitting in my front wall in Birmingham waiting for 'shake hands...' to be played ....still have a copy of the 45 :)

Dozens of web sites and books claim to teach you how to "sell your book without writing a word!" So what's the million-dollar secret? Create an amazing book proposal - which you have to write by the way - that will whet the publisher's appetite, and entice them to sign your book!
Yes, this is hype, but one part of it is true. 20-30 good proposal pages can land you a book deal.
Ultimately, the purpose of the book proposal is to cast a vision to the publisher for how they can effectively market and sell your book to a broad audience. Think of your book proposal as a business plan that you would present to a potential investor. And of course, the publisher is your potential investor. And what's the benefit of a proposal? Book proposals, particularly in the nonfiction world, save time for both the editor and the author. Your average acquisition editor can't physically read through every manuscript that crosses his or her desk. Similarly, authors do not want to write a dozen books for every one they sell (at least not the authors I know). So the book proposal is a happy compromise for everyone involved.
I have reviewed thousands of book proposals in my time in publishing, and I have acquired, edited and supervised the publication of several hundred of those books. And here's the thing: There isn't one, perfect book proposal format, though some agents or publishers or editors would like to make you think this is the case.
However, your book proposal MUST clearly and professionally present the following important pieces of information:
1. Book Title & Concept (Your concept might be one line or five)
2. Author Name & Biography
3. Overview of your book premise (2-3 paragraphs)
4. Book Details (Length, timeline to complete manuscript, any special features)
5. Marketing Opportunities
6. Competitive Overview (what other books are like yours, and how is yours unique?)
7. Key Connections, Endorsements or Partnerships
8. Table of Contents
9. 2-3 Sample Chapters
Every one of these elements of the nonfiction book proposal is critical, but how you structure your proposal is up to you. I have reviewed exceedingly creative book proposals, some that begin with a hook, compelling premise, key piece of marketing information or beautifully-written overview. However you decide to begin or end your book proposal, I believe it is wise to open with your project's strongest selling point, whatever that might be.
So rather than recommending a particular order or proposal structure, I believe it is more critical that the author focus on developing a salable book concept, and writing good prose (because if the book isn't good, it won't sell no matter what Oprah says!). Of course, it is always important to write clean copy and eliminate run on sentences, errors and misspellings. Also, many publishers have particular guidelines for accepting submissions—follow those guidelines religiously, even if those guidelines are: "We don't accept unsolicited submissions." If that's their policy, don't submit to them, at least not directly.
That policy usually means that the publisher will only review book proposals from a literary agent, or from writers that their editors approach specifically. So how do you get approached by a book editor? That's a topic for another post!

Project Number: 6034-21000-014-00
Start Date: May 01, 2013
End Date: Apr 30, 2018
New citrus selections will be created by sexual hybridization, mutation, and genetic transformation from existing cultivars and species. Sources of tolerance or resistance to huanglongbing will be emphasized in choice of parents for hybrids. Genes with potential to induce tolerance or resistance to huanglongbing will be emphasized in transformation, including anti-microbial peptides, chimeral anti-microbial peptides, citrus genes that respond to infection by the pathogen, but with regulation altered to increase resistance, and genes that target specific metabolic components of the pathogen. Methods will be developed to improve citrus transformation, including the use of proliferating in vitro shoot cultivars. Hybrids and other new types will be assessed for important traits, including the use of molecular markers, and greenhouse, laboratory, and field assays. Methods to assess huanglongbing tolerance or resistance and tolerance of high pH will be refined and applied to new hybrids and transgenics. Promising selections will be entered into long-term field trials at multiple locations, and data will be collected on tree health, size, fruit yield and quality. Selections that appear to have desirable combinations of traits will be released for commercial or dooryard use.

Apple's Bounce Doesn't Impress Chart Watchers
Apple shares have bounced over the last week, but technicians warn a real bottom isn't in place.
Last week, Apple slumped 9.1% to close at $390.53, the lowest level in more than two years. The stock has bounced 5.9% this week, giving bulls hope that, after tumbling 44% in seven months, selling may have finally been exhausted.
Technicians aren't buying it, however.
"The primary trend is still lower," said Craig Johnson, senior technical research analyst at Piper Jaffray. "I'll be more interested [in Apple] when there is a downtrend reversal," as in the break of the recent pattern of lower lows and lower highs.
Since Apple began its slide in September 2012, there have been four bounces that have been bigger than the current one, in November, January, February and March. Each of those rallies peaked below the highs seen in previous rebounds.
For example, from March 4 to March 25, Apple rallied 10% to $463.58. But that was below the Feb. 11 closing high of $479.93 than had been reached in a two-week, 9.1% bounce.
In addition, each subsequent low, after those bounces petered out, were below previous post-bounce lows.
For traders who follow the century-old Dow Theory of market analysis, a pattern of successive lower peaks and lower troughs is a defining characteristic of a downtrend.
To break this pattern, and to get technicians to think a sustainable rally is possible, Apple would need to close above the March 25 closing high.
Until that happens, any rallies should be viewed as "opportunities" to sell, Mr. Johnson said. The stock is up 1.3% at $413.60 in morning trading on Friday.
If last week's low close gives way, further downside levels to watch include roughly the $355 to $365 range, technicians say. There were multiple intraday lows within that range from early August 2011 through late November 2011.

Tallahassee, FL - For the second home game in a row, the No. 14 Florida State women's basketball program will host a top-25 team.
Fresh off a Junkanoo Jam tournament title in the Bahamas the Seminoles (6-0) will take on No. 25 Michigan State at the Donald L. Tucker Center on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Before the 'Noles ventured to the Caribbean, they hosted and defeated then-No. 20 Vanderbilt.
Wednesday's matchup between FSU and MSU (5-1) will be part of the annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Florida State is undefeated in these inter-league games with a mark of 3-0.
Junior forward Cierra Bravard leads the charge for a Seminoles squad that defeated Alabama and Arizona State while in the Bahamas. The All-America candidate enters the seventh game of the year averaging career-bests in both points (16.2) and rebounds (9.2).
• At 3-0 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, FSU boasts wins over Indiana in 2007, Penn State in 2008 and then again over Indiana last year.
• The Seminoles are 0-1 all-time against Michigan State. The only time that the two programs have met was during the 1994-95 season when the Spartans earned an 82-69 victory at the San Juan Shootout in Puerto Rico.
• Bravard was named MVP of the Junkanoo Jam's Freeport Division.
• At 6-0, Florida State is maintaining the same pace that it did to start last year's memorable season. Before advancing to the Elite Eight for the first time ever, FSU began the 2009-10 season by reeling off 10 consecutive wins.
• Michigan State travels to Tallahassee as a team that was just in the state of Florida a few days ago. The Spartans participated in the UCF Classic over the Thanksgiving holiday and earned wins over Western Kentucky and Richmond to move to 5-1 on the season. MSU's lone loss of the year was a 78-52 defeat at the hands of then-No. 2 Baylor on Nov. 19.

Cadbury Shares Slip Close to Kraft's Offer Price
Cadbury shares slipped to within pennies of Kraft Foods' offer price Wednesday as hopes of a vastly improved offer from the U.S. food giant receded.
Cadbury shares had slipped a further 0.8% to 772 pence, following a 3.2% fall Tuesday.
The drop followed a double blow forCadbury's investors Tuesday. Firstly, Nestlé ruled itself out of the running for Cadbury, dampening hopes of a competitive auction. Then, later in the day, Kraft's largest shareholder Warren Buffett fired a shot across Kraft's management's bow, warning them against overpaying for the U.K. confectioner.
Buffett's intervention sent Kraft shares up almost 5%, raising the effective value of the bid to 765 pence at Tuesday's close, just 7 pence short of Cadbury's share price.
Analysts and investors had been hoping for a higher offer from Kraft of up to 900 pence a share. Any revised offer is now thought unlikely to go far above 800 pence. – Dow Jones Newswires

Independence Day 3D has been cancelled or postponed?
Independence Day, one of the biggest (and most unbearably dull) blockbusters of the '90s won't be getting a 3D release, according to various online reports. And there's more – or rather, less: 20th Century Fox has reportedly been mum about previously announced (potential) 3D sequels to Roland Emmerich's neuron-killing sci-fier starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Bill Pullman, namely ID Forever - Part I and ID Forever - Part II. (Image: Will Smith Independence Day movie.)
Back in 1996/97, Emmerich's Independence Day movie grossed $817.4 million worldwide, $306.16 million of which in North America. (That figure would represent about $550 million today.) Independence Day 3D was scheduled to open on July 3, 2013, but Box Office Mojo currently has a "TBD" date for the film.
Now, of course, "TBD" means "To Be Determined." In other words, reports that Fox has cancelled Independence Day 3D could well be premature. Fox may simply be distancing ID3D from another Roland Emmerich flick, the Channing Tatum actioner White House Down, which opens on June 26, 2013. Although White House Down doesn't feature aliens, the White House – much like in Independence Day – plays a key role in the movie. (The White House Down villains are members of a paramilitary group.)
Fox's 3D rereleases currently set for 2013 are the Star Wars prequels Star Wars: Episode II - Attacks of the Clones 3D on September 20, and Star Wars: Episode II - Revenge of the Sith 3D on October 4.
Independence Day movie cast
Besides the aforementioned Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum, the Independence Day cast includes Vivica A. Fox, Randy Quaid, Mary McDonnell, Margaret Colin, Adam Baldwin, Robert Loggia, Judd Hirsch, Brent Spiner, Lisa Jakub, and Harvey Fierstein. Fierstein, by the way, plays one of the most stomach-churning gay characters ever portrayed on screen. And that's kinda surprising, considering some of the key behind-the-scenes talent involved in the making of Independence Day. But then again, maybe it shouldn't be so surprising after all.

Life Stories: So Many Ways to Do Good and Change Lives
Organ Donor: Minnesota
Shortly after celebrating her 32nd wedding anniversary, 53-year-old Anne collapsed from a brain aneurysm. As her family waited anxiously in the hospital that February, they overheard another family, whose young child had just died, discuss donation of their child's organs.
Anne had never discussed organ donation with her family, but then and there, her family decided that donation would be a meaningful way to realize some good from this tragedy.
Anne's kidneys, liver and heart helped four people to lead better lives, while her donation of eyes gave four people improved vision through cornea and sclera transplants. Countless others will benefit from the research enabled by the donation of her other organs.
In 2005, a year after her death, Anne's widower Ronald met Ruth Lovegren, whose husband Curt had also succumbed to a brain aneurysm. Ruth, too, had donated her spouse's organs and eyes. Married in September 2006, Ronald and Ruth now volunteer regularly together on behalf of organ donation.
Anne's donation transformed the lives of several recipients and their families. In gratitude, she was named a "Star of Life."
In 2009, Donate Life sponsored a float in the Tournament of Roses Parade®. The "Stars of Life" featured transplant recipients, living donors, and family members of deceased donors immersed in a spectacular shower of stars representing all the people who make the gift of life possible.
Among the float's "Stars of Life" were 30 gold stars with floragraphs—artistic portraits created with floral materials—depicting loved ones whose donations of organs, corneas, or tissue saved and healed those in need. Two of the floragraphs were of Minnesota donors Curt Lovegren and Anne, who had transformed so many lives.

WebSphere Lombardi Edition Version 7.1 (hereafter called Lombardi) provides a flexible platform for rapid delivery and improvement of your business process applications. Lombardi V7.1 is a comprehensive BPM offering that enables companies to continually improve their end-to-end business processes. With Lombardi, teams can build, manage, and optimize process applications that orchestrate human collaboration and system interactions.
This article gives you an overview of the Lombardi product and architecture. Future articles in this series will cover basic and advanced process modeling, Coaches, monitoring and reporting, and simulation and optimization. We'll use a purchase order process as the scenario throughout the series.
A business process is a collection of activities designed to produce a specific output for a particular objective, involving both human and system interactions. A business process implies a strong emphasis on how the work is done within an organization, in contrast to a product's focus on what. A process is a specific ordering of work activities across time and place, with a beginning, an end, and clearly defined inputs and outputs: a structure for action.
Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a diagramming standard for drawing business processes. It's a format that is understandable to business users because it looks like a flowchart –- you don't need a lot of training to understand how to use it. And it's also understandable to anybody in IT who might be involved in the process. The objective of BPMN is to support business process management (BPM) by both technical users and business users by providing a notation that is intuitive to business users but still able to represent complex process semantics. Lombardi V7.1 is one of the first BPM platforms to support BPMN.
Lombardi V7.1 is compliant with all key BPM-related standards, and its design tools provide a BPMN-compliant process modeling environment.
Lombardi is an integrated set of Eclipse-based development tools, together with a web-based user portal and dashboards, and a common runtime platform. These technologies provide design, simulation, rules definition, process execution and integration, monitoring and optimization functions. The main perspectives in Lombardi, which support all activities from design through simulation, deployment, monitoring and optimization, share a common repository, which called the Shared Model, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Shared Model
Lombardi includes the following components, as shown in Figure 2, which illustrates a typical Lombardi configuration. For different development and deployment phases, the Process Server and Performance Data Warehouse can be installed in multiple staging, test, and production environments, which are centrally controlled by the Process Center.
- Process Center
The Process Center provides a central development environment and repository for multiple process authors working in the Process Center Console and other interfaces in Lombardi Authoring Environment. It includes a Process Center Server and a Performance Data Warehouse, which enable you to build and run process applications and also store performance data for testing and playback purposes during development.
- Process Server
The Process Server executes the processes and services built in Lombardi Authoring Environment, stored in the Process Center repository, and then installed in a runtime environment.
- Performance Data Warehouse
The Performance Data Warehouse collects and aggregates process data according to tracking requirements established in Lombardi Authoring Environment.
Figure 2. Lombardi components
The following components make up the process modeling and management interface:
- Authoring Environment
Lombardi Authoring Environment consists of several interfaces that enable process authors to model, implement, simulate, and inspect business processes. Authoring Environment users can create process models, services, and other assets within process applications.
- Process Center Console
From the Process Center Console, you can create process applications and toolkits and grant other users access to them. The Process Center Console can help you manage and maintain the Lombardi repository, including managing process applications, workspaces, and snapshots. It also enables the installation of process applications on Process Servers in runtime environments.
- Process Admin Console
The Process Admin Console provides an interface that enables administrators to configure and maintain the Process Servers in any configured runtime environment, such as staging, test or production environments. It also enables administrators to configure and maintain the Process Center Server.
- Performance Admin Console
The Performance Admin Console provides an interface that enables administrators to configure and maintain Lombardi Performance Data Warehouses in any configured runtime environment, such as staging, test or production environments. It also enables administrators to configure and maintain the Performance Data Warehouse included in the Process Center.
- Process Portal
The Process Portal provides an interface that enables process participants to perform assigned tasks, view the history of tasks, and view the performance of their processes and teams. Using Process Portal, process participants can connect to the Process Center Server or a Process Server in any configured runtime environment, such as test or production environments.
Modeling your process using Authoring Environment
Lombardi provides an Eclipse-based platform for process development. To get started using the authoring environment for business process modeling, do the following:
- Start the server by selecting Start => IBM WebSphere Lombardi
Edition 7 => Start Servers. To open the Authoring
Environment, select Start => IBM WebSphere Lombardi Edition 7
=> Lombardi Authoring Environment. The default login user
account and password are both
- The first time you start the authoring environment, it opens to the
Process Center Console, which enables you to create and manage process
applications, install snapshots on test and production servers, and
perform other tasks.
Click the Process Apps tab, and select Create New Process App, as shown in Figure 3.
- In the Create New Process App dialog, enter a name (for
Purchase Order Processand an acronym (such as,
POPROC) for your process application. You can also provide an optional description. You can view the description in the Process Center Console by clicking the question mark next to the process application name.
Figure 3. Create a new process application in authoring environment
Part 2 of this series will describe in detail how to model a business process in the authoring environment.
Creating a Business Process Definition (BPD)
When you model a process in the authoring environment, you first create a Business Process Definition (BPD), as shown as Figure 4. A BPD is a reusable model of a process that defines what's common to all runtime instances of that process model.
Figure 4. Business Process Definition
Building Human services
Build a Human service when you want a step in your BPD to create an interactive task that process participants can perform in a web-based user interface, as shown in Figure 5. When you build Human services, you include Coaches, which are the web-based forms that provide process-related data to users and collect input from those users. Coaches enable you to easily add standard fields and controls such as radio buttons, drop-down menus, and so on.
The Ajax services that you build in Lombardi are subsequently bound to Coach controls to perform functions such as automatically populating drop-down lists and enabling type-ahead capability in input fields. You can use an Ajax service to pull data dynamically from a connected data source, such as a database.
Figure 5. Create a Human service
Building Integration services
Build an Integration service when you want to integrate with an external system to complete a task, as shown in Figure 6. For example, you can build an integration service that calls a web service to do some business logic. Integration services are the only services that can include web service integration and Java™ integration components.
Use General System services when you want to orchestrate other background services, manipulate variable data, generate HTML for a Coach, or perform other actions that don't require any integrations or business rules. General system services are likely to be called directly from a BPD or from a Human Service. General System services can include only basic service components such as scripts and cannot contain Coaches or integration components (web service integration or Java integration). General System services can be nested within any other type of service.
External activities enable you to create BPDs that include activities that are handled by systems outside of Lombardi. For example, you can build a custom application using the Lombardi web API to execute an activity, or step, in a BPD.
An Undercover Agent (UCA) is started by an event that can either be triggered by a message or on a specific schedule. When a UCA is started, it invokes a Lombardi service in response to the event. When you include a message event in a BPD, you must attach a UCA to the event to call the specified service. For example, when a message event is received from an external system, a UCA is needed to invoke the appropriate service in response to the message.
You can create and publish a web service to enable external applications to initiate a particular Lombardi service or set of services. Using the SOAP integration, external applications can also call the web service.
Figure 6. Create an Integration service
Building Rule services
You can use a Rule service, shown in Figure 7, when you want a condition to determine what implementation is invoked. For example, when a certain condition evaluates to true, Lombardi implements a JavaScript expression that you provide. Rule services cannot include Java or web service integrations directly. You can call a Rule service from any other type of service and a Rule service can call other nested services.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are measurements that Lombardi tracks at process runtime, storing results that you can use to analyze process and task performance in the Optimizer.
Service level agreements (SLAs) can be created based on standard and custom KPIs. SLAs enable you to establish a condition for one or more activities that triggers a consequence. When you run instances of your processes, SLA consequences do not trigger until the associated activity starts or completes.
Figure 7. Create a Rule service
Managing external files
Lombardi supports adding external files to the process application, including images, style sheets, JAR files, and others. All these project assets are included in the Process Center repository. Adding these files to your process application ensures that all required assets are available and installed when your project is ready for testing or production.
Enabling re-use through Toolkits
Toolkits are a collection of library items that can be used across multiple process applications in the Lombardi Authoring Environment. Lombardi enables process developers to re-use existing artifacts both within and across process applications through toolkits. For example, if you know several services already exist that include Coaches and other library items that other developers need, you can access and re-use those items by including them in a toolkit. Then, from your process application, you can add a dependency on the toolkit in which the library items reside. This enables you to pick one of the existing services when choosing the implementation for an activity. The items in the toolkit can also be used by other developers working in different process applications.
Authoring Environment users can create dependencies on toolkits in order to re-use the items within. When Toolkit items are updated, existing dependencies show that updates are available.
Library items in multiple toolkits can be shared across other toolkits, as well as process applications.
Create toolkits
To create a toolkit, do the following:
- Click the Toolkits tab, and click Create New Toolkit, as
shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Create a new toolkit
- In the Create New Toolkit dialog, enter a name and an acronym for your toolkit.
- To create library items in the toolkit or perform other edits, click Open in Designer.
System Data toolkit
During Lombardi installation, the System Data Toolkit is imported into the Process Center repository. Each process application and toolkit that you create automatically includes a System Data Toolkit dependency so that you have access to the assets that all Lombardi projects require, such as standard variable types, standard charts for reports, and so on. You cannot edit or change the library items in the System Data Toolkit, but you can open the toolkit and view the items in it.
Overview of the scenario
In this series, we'll use a typical business scenario of a purchase order process to illustrate how to use Lombardi V7.1 to model and run the business process. As shown in Figure 9, the purchase order process is initiated by the buyer from the purchasing department according to the actual inventory and consumption. When the buyer enters the order, the process is triggered. When the process is started, the system sends a notification to the supplier who is responsible for confirming the order.
Figure 9. Purchase order process
The supplier can respond to the order through a web-based user interface as follows:
- The supplier can directly accept the order without any change. In this situation, the buyer doesn't need to reconfirm the order.
- The supplier can accept the order with a change in the quantity and unit price of goods by filling out an "Order Change." In this case, the buyer needs to reconfirm this order before order generation.
- The supplier can reject the order because of price or because the item is out of stock. In this case, the order will be void and the system will send the notification to the buyer.
In the case of accepting the order, if the supplier raises the unit price of goods, the system needs to notify the buyer to reconfirm the updated order. The confirmation results in one of the following:
- If the buyer accepts the updated order, the system automatically generates the final purchase order.
- If the buyer does not accept the updated order, the system sends the notification to the supplier and the purchase order process is halted.
Otherwise, the buyer does not need to confirm the order and the system automatically generates the formal purchase order.
Generate Order subprocess
The generation of the formal purchase order is a subprocess embedded in the main purchase order process, as shown in Figure 10. Upon receiving the final purchase order from the above purchase order process, the subprocess initiates the following tasks:
- Calculate the final total price of the goods for the order
- Select a shipper for the order.
- Schedule the shipment.
- Send notification to both the buyer and supplier.
Figure 10. Generate Order subprocess
Defining business data types
Variables are used to capture the business data that is passed from step to step in a process. When you develop a Business Process Definition in Lombardi, you should spend time creating data models for the BPD during the design phase.
In our Purchase Order scenario, one important data type,
Order, is defined to describe the purchase
order. The variable type
Order includes two
orderHead (the cardinality is 1)
orderDetail (which is a
List). The
OrderDetail variable types and parameters
are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
Table 1. Variable Type: OrderHead
|Parameter name
|Variable type

|Brandon Lloyd will soon free Wes Welker from bracket coverage. (Getty Images)
Finally, I have game tape to watch instead of just watching summer camp practices on my tour. Here are some of the trends in the game that intrigued me week one
|More on NFL
Pete Prisco
Power Rankings: Relax, it's only one week
|More NFL coverage
1. No-huddle offense: New England, Denver, Atlanta and Baltimore lead the way in the no-huddle concept. What makes it interesting is when they use it and what they are trying to accomplish. It really shows up in earned first downs. When New England and Baltimore move the chains, they like to go right to the ball and run a play, and it is a balanced offense from the shotgun no-huddle. New England and Baltimore averaged 6.5 a carry in the no-huddle run game. Atlanta used its no-huddle in the first half of the Kansas City game and went 9 for 10 and 121 yards with a TD and one sack. The Falcons didn't call a running play from the no-huddle but that will change this week at home. The days of defensive coaches watching the opposing offenses substituting personnel and using their computer reports to predict tendencies and send in the right defensive personnel is quickly coming to an end. These no-huddle offenses aren't going to let defenses freely sub.
2. The Lloyd Factor: Don't worry about Wes Welker being phased out of the Patriots offense. Teams continue to bracket cover him with an inside and an outside defender, and Brady simply knows Brandon Lloyd is single covered and goes right to him. It will not take long for defenses to double the deep-threat Lloyd and rally back to Welker on the short routes. Lloyd is already creating the same effect that Randy Moss once did for the Patriots and Welker.
3. Concussions: Six players are on the injury report with concussion issues: Darrelle Revis (Jets), Gerald Sensabaugh (Dallas), Daniel Thomas (Miami), Dwight Bentley (Detroit), Terrell Manning (Green Bay) and Devery Henderson (New Orleans) -- five defensive players and one offensive player. So far it looks like the hitter is suffering more than the man hit. Six in Week 1 means right now we are on pace for 102 players listed with a concussion. Believe me, as players see that the league is not going to let some of these men play right away, they are going to do everything in their power not to disclose they have concussion symptoms out of fear of losing their job or being labeled concussion prone.
4. The 49ers run game: Mike Ditka told me today that the 49ers are the best team in the NFL because they have the same "punch-you-in-the-mouth attitude" their coach has. Ditka called Jim Harbaugh the most competitive player he knew. That's saying a lot with the guys he had in Chicago.
5. It was the impossible: The Giants, Packers, Steelers and Saints all opened the season with losses. Does anyone think all four could lose again in Week 2? In the last four years (2008-2011), none of these teams started a season 0-2. All four went to the playoffs last year and had a combined record of 49-15. I would be more surprised if all four don't win this weekend.

Therapy, counseling and life
Of all Dr. Breggin's books, The Heart of Being Helpful most directly addresses his approach to therapy. Sample chapters are included in this section. The final chapter of Brain-Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry describes the principles of effective therapy or counseling and the final chapter of Medication Madness describes "Principles of Life" for effective living. Most of Dr. Breggin's books have extensive discussions of non-drug approaches to children, adults and families. The articles here deal directly with therapy and life.

Clatsop Indians (La-'k!e-lak, 'dried Salmon.' boas). A Chinookan tribe formerly about Creek Adams on the south side of the Columbia River and extending up the river as far as Tongue Point and south along the coast to Tillamook Head, Oregon. In 1806 their number, according to Lewis and Clark, was 200, in 14 houses. In 1875 a few Clatsop were found living near Salmon River and were removed to Grande Ronde Reservation in Oregon. The language is not practically extinct, and the remnant of the the tribe has been almost wholly absorbed by neighboring groups. The villages of the Clatsop, so far as known, were Konope, Neacoxy, Neahkeluk, Niakewankih, Neahkstowt and Necotat.
