Bio and Links
Semi-retired model railroader who has just discovered the addiction of genealogy. I live in South Saint Louis County Missouri, but I am close to Jefferson County Missouri and right across the Mississippi River from Monroe and Saint Clair Counties in Illinois.
I most enjoy trying to link families together, finding out who are the parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents of various people I have discovered here. When possible I try to find obituaries at the library and copy them into the bio.
If I can help you, please contact me.

Transfer Memorial
I was wondering if you could transfer my grandma's memorial to me. Her name is Glenda Evelyn Pretto. Also, you could transfer all the Prettos in Immaculate Conception cemetery to me if you'd like. I am related to them all on my grandfather's side. Thanks!

RE: Sr Emerita Mary McManus
Thank you for your kind words! I taught at St. Mary's for one year before the school closed, so the Sisters have a special place in my heart. I add memorials for them whenever I can. Anytime you have information to add, please forward it. And of course, the offer stands. Anytime you see a memorial you'd like transferred, just let me know. I always transfer to friends and family unless the memorial is part of my tree!

Duncan Stewart Fults Correction
Thank you Michael for all the work you have done. Like you, I have got the genealogy bug...bad lately. I wanted to point out an error on the entry for my great grandfather, Duncan Stewart Fults. His father's information is correct, but the mother you have listed is actually his grandmother. It can be confusing with the Fults name because there were so many Jacob Fults. Duncan's mother was actually Caroline Kline-Fults. She lived from 1840-1929, but I cannot find anything on her on findagrave.com.

RE: Pat Whalen
Hello Michael, Its great to hear from you. Hope you and your family had a good Christmas and New Year.
I'm hoping to find some photos of the Whalen Family and the pool hall-saloon that was in Hoxie. I have an old postcard of the Hoxie Business that were on Texas Street ( main street in Hoxie ) from the early 1900's, but the quality of the photo is not good. I have seen Pat Whalen Bottles, but I don't have one. They are very rare and expense to buy.
Email me and I will send some scans of bottle and the old postcard.

Here's the problem though. None of us are big fans of leftover meat, especially beef. Back when all the kids were still living at home, we could pretty much take care of a roast in one meal. Now, however, there are only three of us and last night we had as much meat leftover as we'd eaten. What to do with the leftovers that didn't involve the dog. Hmmm... I bet that juicy, gravied meat would do well in a panini! For lunch today, I first caramelized one whole sliced onion in a little bit of olive oil. I then spread a little mayo and a little horseradish on some slices of roasted garlic bread that I had in the freezer. Then I topped the bread with gruyere cheese, the onions, then the pulled pot roast. A few minutes on the panini press melted the cheese into all shades of gooey. Delicious!

KINSHASA: Jules Mutebusi, a former DR Congo rebel leader often described as a Rwandan proxy, has died in Kigali where he had been exiled for a decade, relatives and officials said yesterday.
"He died on Friday evening in a Kigali hospital. He was 54. It looks like he had been sick, that's what Rwanda is saying," one of Mutebusi's uncles said.
Mutebusi, from the ethnic Tutsi group in the Democratic Republic of Congo's South Kivu region known as Banyamulenge, was a top military leader of the Rally for Congolese Democracy (RCD).
In 2004 Laurent Nkunda, another defecting Tutsi Congolese officer, and Mutebusi jointly captured Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu, on the grounds that the local population was being persecuted.

Modern Classics: Hans Wegner's
Folding Chair
Hans Wegner, 1914 - 2007, was a trained cabinet-maker who went on to study at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts. Later he worked as a furniture designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Moller's architectural practice before setting up his own design office in Gentofte in 1943. Throughout his career, he designed furniture for the Johannes Hansen and Fritz Hansen furniture companies.
The Folding Chair, which is often referred to as the rope chair, was created by drawing on historic folding chairs. It was lightweight, with a cane seat, and Mr. Wegner created a hook so the chair could be hung on the wall to save on space. It should also be noted that Mr. Wegner did not name his chairs, instead letting his customers or manufacturers name them, which did lead to much confusion over his designs.
Mr. Wegner brought a fresh approach to furniture design, which at that time was flooded with the shiny-chrome furniture of the Bauhaus style. He introduced us to designs that celebrated high craftsmanship — employing joinery techniques like mortise and tenons and finger joints — while also adding sculptural elements that were often pushed to the extreme. Mr. Wegner was quoted saying, "A chair is to have no backside. It should be beautiful from all sides and angles." But above all else, beauty included, he wanted his designs to remain functional and ultimately comfortable, which was the highest praise.
Like many design classics, the Folding Chair has been reproduced by many as an affordable alternative to the Hans Wegner original. The majority of the reproductions on the market were made in Yugoslavia. Here is a collection of images of the Folding chair, from the original to reproductions, showing that this classic design looks just as good on an outdoor deck as it does in a modern living room.

|Honda Achieves Record High Global and Overseas Production; Represents 8th Consecutive Year of Increased Production
|TOKYO, Japan, April 27, 2005– Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced automobile production, sales and export results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 (FY05) and for the month of March 2005. Honda set a new all-time fiscal year record for global auto production with more than 3.25 million units in FY05 due to record-high annual production in the North America, Europe, and Asia regions.
Domestic production for FY05 increased 7.5% compared to the previous fiscal year, while production in March 2005 increased by 2.4% compared to the same month last year. The increase was due mainly to the increased production of export models.
Overseas production for FY05 increased 9.9% compared to the previous year due to strong production in Asia, especially China. Production for March 2005 increased 8.8% compared to the same month a year ago due to increased production in Europe and Asia.
Combining strong Japanese domestic and overseas results, worldwide production for FY05 totaled approximately 3.25 million units, an 8.9% increase compared to the previous fiscal year. It is the 8th consecutive year, dating back to 1997, for Honda to increase overseas production as well as worldwide production.
Domestic sales for FY05 fell 2.1% compared to the previous year, while sales for the month of March declined 7.4% compared to the same month a year ago. Total sales of passenger cars and light trucks increased slightly in FY05 compared to last year due to strong sales of new models introduced earlier in FY05. However, overall sales declined due primarily to stabilizing demand for the Life and Odyssey, which were introduced in late 2003.
Total exports for FY05 increased 12.0% compared to the previous fiscal year, while exports for the month of March increased 6.1% compared to the same month last year. Strong sales in Europe of the Accord Diesel and Jazz (Fit in Japan) throughout the fiscal year as well as strong sales in North America of the all-new Acura RL (Legend in Japan) and Accord Hybrid in the latter half of the fiscal year contributed to the increase in total exports.

Writer's block is a bane to most writers at some point. You know you have writer's block when you sit down to write and no words or ideas come to mind, and you end up with nothing on the page. That's a very frustrating time. So, how do you handle writer's block? I came across some interesting sites that share ways to beat writer's block. They offer various ideas such as taking a walk, to using online tools to help inspire your brain and break through the writer's block.
While surfing the Internet yesterday, I came across an article on Mashable.com dealing with writer' block, and how to overcome it. The article, "How to Beat Writer's Block Online", by Amy-Mae Elliott, where she discusses ways to recover from the dreaded writing disease by using some online tools. One suggestion was to visit a site called Language is a Virus. This is an interesting site that offers numerous online ways to work through writer's block. Some of the tools include creative writing games, writing exercises, and more. This site is definitely geared more toward those who write fiction, but any writer could benefit from using the tools offered here.
Another site I found was Purdue OWL: Online Writing Lab. Here, you can find some of the causes of writer's block, followed by suggestions ("cures") to break through your current non-writing dilemma. This site is geared toward university students who are having trouble writing papers. Again, any writer could benefit from this site by reading through the "cures" and adapting these to their specific situation. One of the issues stressed on this site is the fact writers often become anxious about the writing assignment. This can be true not only for students, but freelance writers, too. Using one of the suggestions here might help you to break through the stress you're feeling and help the words begin to flow once again.
The last site, Get Paid To Write Online, offered some excellent no-nonsense ways to break through writer's block in the article "10 Ways to Break Through Freelance Writer's Block," by Dana Price. In her article, Dana discusses some ways to break through writer's block such as using every day activities. She suggested doing the dishes as a great way to break writer's block. You could use most any household chore to help. When you're physically active and away from your writing, your mind has a chance to relax and consciously deal with the physical work at hand. This helps to free up your subconscious to focus on the writing assignment. While you're doing the housework, all of a sudden your mind breaks in with some inspiration, and then you're ready to write again. If this doesn't work, Dana offered some excellent advice by saying it's sometimes necessary to sleep on it. You might be too tired to think and just need to give your mind and body a rest.
Writer's block can be a serious issue, but most of the time it will work itself out. You just have to relax and give your mind and body a chance to rest. Be sure to check out each of the sites above for some interesting and helpful ways to deal with writer's block. How do you deal with writer's block?
Happy writing!

|Preferential Flow Through Soil
Through the work of classical soil physicists, water movement through soils was widely believed to be uniform with a wetting front at the lead edge of the infiltrating water. This could be shown when the soils consisted of material of uniform particle size. In the natural environment, soils with such uniformity of particle size are rare. In the natural setting, preferential flow paths, e.g., cracks, old root channels, and earthworm burrows, are prevalent. Because of preferential flow, water can move through soil much more quickly than would be predicted by uniform movement theory. At the NAEW, considerable research has been conducted on the movement of water and chemicals through earthworm burrows and other preferential flow paths in field studies, with lysimeters, and in the laboratory setting. The Coshocton work has been a major contribution to the wide acceptance that preferential flow paths have great importance in water movement through soils.

Definition of buffeting in English:
1The action of striking someone or something repeatedly and violently: the roofs have survived the buffeting of worse winds than this
More example sentences
- Hood down, clever aerodynamic design ensures that the occupants are almost totally protected from wind buffeting, making open air motoring quite practicable, even at this late stage of the year.
- The magnetosphere varies in size and shape, and its outer boundary - the magnetopause - gently undulates like a wave due to buffeting by the solar wind.
- Even with the top down, you get very minimal wind buffeting, enough to tell you that you're driving a convertible, but it won't feel like sitting in the middle of a hurricane.
1.1The action or result of afflicting or harming someone, typically repeatedly or over a long period: the buffeting that people are taking in lost job status
More example sentences
- With the tough buffeting that unions are taking at the moment it is a perfectly rational response for union officials of all kinds to just say, 'Well I am going to go and do something else.'
- The UN charter was written to withstand this buffeting.
- This would, in any case, not have been easy to develop, given the buffeting that the Irish economy was receiving from the end of 1974.
2 Aeronautics Irregular oscillation of part of an aircraft, caused by turbulence.
Example sentences
- Mounted close to the wing on modified bomb racks, the tanks caused buffeting and, even more seriously, would not separate cleanly in the event they were dropped.
- The buffeting was traced to airflow from the engine nacelles partially blanking out the tail surfaces.
- Aerodynamic forces cause vibrations at the tip of a blade where the effects of transonic speeds cause buffeting and vibration.

A "Crim Pro" Lesson, Courtesy of Sen. Larry Craig
Sadly, we don't remember much from our Criminal Procedure course, so our questions surrounding the Larry Craig sting have been pretty basic. Had he not pleaded guilty, would Craig have had a valid entrapment defense? What gave the officer the right to arrest Craig? After all, the "evidence" as described in the complaint — a foot tap, a reach under the stall divider, a strategically placed bag — doesn't seem like all that much to go on. And why shouldn't he be able to withdraw his guilty plea?
Fortunately, Minnesota has more than a few criminal procedure experts. We caught up with one of them today, Minnesota Law professor Barry Feld (pictured). Feld specializes in juvenile justice, but teaches "Crim Pro" (as all the cool 2Ls call it) and had no problem smacking all of our questions out of the park.
So what about this notion of entrapment? According to the police report, the officer tapped his foot in response to Craig. Wasn't he egging Craig on?
Entrapment wasn't going to fly for Craig. The Supreme Court has dealt with this over and over again, and the basic rule continues to be that if a suspect is predisposed toward criminal activity, nothing prohibits the police from offering up an opportunity to commit a crime. Law enforcement uses these tactics all the time; you hear about them in connection with catching sexual predators, for instance, going on line and posing as a child. They're often used for drug busts.
Okay. So what would constitute entrapment? Anything?
The Court has set a very high bar. A case that might be problematic: if a cop sold drugs to someone, who then turned around and sold them to a different cop. But even there, it wouldn't be a slam-dunk case.
So the officer's foot-tapping is kosher?
Well, according to the complaint, Craig initiated it.
And what about this disorderly conduct charge? Craig allegedly tapped his foot and reached under the stall. Does that constitute enough to make an arrest?
You've got to remember that at the point of arrest, the standard is only probable cause, which is a far lower threshold than the standard at trial — having to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Fair enough. But still?
Well, the statutory language [Minn. Stat. Sec. 609.72, subd. 1(3)] defines disorderly conduct as engaging in indecent or obscene conduct that someone knows or has reason to believe will cause alarm in another person. So while it's a subjective analysis, the officer really has to look at objective criteria to make the determination. The officer would likely say that "based on my expertise and experience, this kind of conduct is consistent with someone looking to engage in a homosexual encounter."
And there you have probable cause?
The judge found it. But at trial, a guilty verdict might require some additional facts. It's hard to tell.
Now what about this guilty plea? How hard are these things to undo?
Extremely. A guilty plea is designed to get finality without a whole lot of elaborate procedures. To get out of a plea, you typically have to show either coercion or that you were incompetent when you entered the plea. And neither of these really seems to apply in this case. Although he might be able to argue that his not talking to a lawyer during this whole process demonstrates his incompetence!

Organizations of all sizes—from small businesses to the largest global enterprises—trust Boomi to quickly connect any combination of cloud and on-premise applications. Leading SaaS players and enterprise customers such as SuccessFactors, NetSuite, Taleo, oneworld, AAA, GoPro and Kelly-Moore Paints rely on Boomi to accelerate time to market, increase sales, and eliminate the headaches associated with integration.
Founded in 2000, Boomi's mission has been to revolutionize integration and make it accessible and affordable to businesses of all sizes.
As a first step towards accomplishing that mission, Boomi initially introduced "configuration-based" integration to the market which eliminated the cost and complexity of writing code. A few years later the company improved upon this innovation by introducing its Visual Integration Technology™ where users could build and deploy integration processes visually using a design "canvas" with familiar point and click, drag and drop techniques.
In 2007, Boomi fundamentally changed the integration industry once again with the announcement of its on-demand integration technology today known as "AtomSphere®," the industry's first and leading iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service.) Built using pure SaaS technology, Atomsphere connects any combination of SaaS, cloud and on-premise applications without the burden of installing and maintaining integration software or appliances.
Boomi became part of Dell on November 2, 2010.

You might, but I don't, and neither do many of my friends. I either
buy/rip physical CDs or buy MP3 or FLAC files directly from artists,
record labels, or amazon.com. A friend of mine has the new Zune and
it's gorgeous enough that I'm considering upgrading to it when my
original 5G iPod craps out.
It's funny, but it seems like it's mostly my Mac-based friends who are
flipping out about iPod/iPad domination of all media. Those of us who
spend a significant portion of time in *nix or XP don't seem to be
feeling nearly as threatened. I get DVDs from Netflix or Amazon,
download foreign content from torrent servers, and record TV shows on my
DVR. Unless we're all forced to buy iPads, I don't see much of my
entertainment consumption changing.

One way to understand philosophy as a form of therapy is this: it involves a philosopher who is trying to cure himself. He has been drawn into a certain philosophical frame of mind—the 'disease'—and has thus infected himself with this illness. Now he is sick and trying to employ philosophy to cure himself. So philosophy is both: the ailment and the cure. And the philosopher is all three: pathogenic agent, patient, and therapist.

Filibuster Reform and Other Fixes for the Senate
Today's Senate looks and functions very differently from the one we led as majority leaders. Our members were able to debate and amend legislation. Senators voted on and passed bills. We each personally cultivated strong friendships and working partnerships across the aisle. But legislating by consensus has been pushed aside in favor of polarized political maneuvering, and Americans are bearing the brunt of Congress's dysfunction.
Both parties have legitimate gripes about how the Senate has degenerated into a polarized mess. Yet one's take on the causes of gridlock and the options for fixing it tend to be based less in partisanship than on whether one is in the minority or majority.
Contributing heavily to the partisan rancor and discord is the minority's inability to offer amendments to pending legislation on the Senate floor and the majority's inability to move forward with largely bipartisan legislation due to frequent filibusters. Too frequently the committee process is being bypassed, leaving members frustrated.
We each hope that our political party will control the Senate next year, but to craft targeted reforms that work, both parties will have to give up some of their political tactics. We propose a series of procedural reforms that would benefit both the majority and the minority, whichever party falls into each role. By extension, and most important, these reforms would benefit the American people. Our recommendations, published Tuesday as part of the Bipartisan Policy Center's Commission on Political Reform, aim to preserve minority rights in the Senate to participate meaningfully in the legislative process while also easing the gridlock that forestalls Congress's ability to tackle important legislation.
First, as majority leaders we both understood that the opportunity to engage in debate and amend legislation is what makes the Senate a unique institution. We recommend mandating that upon consideration of a legislative measure there should be a minimum of 10 relevant amendments alternating between the majority and minority parties. The guarantee is not a ceiling but a floor for the number of amendments that could be offered.

- Obamacare's Inherent Weakness, and Four Options for Health Care Moving Forward
- Paul Manafort's Unsurprising Resignation
- Behind the Polls: The Message in a Longtime Conservative Tilting Away From Trump, Toward Clinton
Second, we believe that the world's greatest deliberative body should be able to deliberate, recognizing that procedural delaying tactics have been overused. Senators of both parties have prevented legislation from even being brought to the floor by filibustering the "motion to proceed." We recommend eliminating filibusters on motions to proceed while limiting debate to two hours and then allowing for a simple majority vote to proceed to the bill. This change does not alter the opportunity that exists under current rules for unlimited debate on other aspects of the legislation, but it would allow the Senate to get to the meat of an issue instead of debating whether to debate. And under our proposals, the minority would still be guaranteed the right to offer amendments of its own choosing.
Last year the "nuclear option" was used to change the rules that govern filibusters of presidential nominees. To prevent future uses of the nuclear option for rules changes, we propose that all future changes to Senate procedure occur at the start of a new Congress. Requiring two-thirds of the Senate to agree to a vote on changing the rules would preserve institutional continuity. De facto rules changes like the one undertaken last November, and made with less than two-thirds support, can quickly become incendiary and directly contribute to the sort of problems we see today.
These reforms will not solve all of the Senate's problems, let alone the many other ills in our political system. But they are a step forward. By protecting majority rule and preserving minority rights, we would diminish the reasons for partisan bickering over process and allow the Senate to debate the issues that matter most to Americans.
Tom Daschle, a Democrat from South Dakota, was Senate majority leader from 2001 to 2003. Trent Lott, a Republican from Mississippi, was Senate majority leader from 1996 to 2001. They co-chair the Bipartisan Policy Center's Commission on Political Reform.

Ireland v England at Croke Park in 2007 was unforgettable for anyone watching or lucky enough to be present.
WATCH: Ireland v England 2007 (Full match)
A riotous collision of histories and traditions, of emotion and sporting theatre, which will be remembered for an incredible prelude - and an Irish performance to match.
That history had been the subject of feverish discussion over the preceding week and the symbolism threatened to overshadow the match itself.
The story begins with the rather prosaic requirement for the creaking old stadium at Lansdowne Road to be brought into the 21st century.
Where would the Irish rugby and soccer teams play their matches while the old stadium was out of commission?
The obvious solution lay across town in Ballybough, but for a host of reasons, specifically the GAA's Rule 42, but more broadly the complex web relationships between the various sporting codes on the island, and the people who played them.
Croke Park was eventually opened to rugby and soccer, but only after a bitter and divisive debate.
The stadium was the site of 'Bloody Sunday', where Tipperary captain Michael Hogan and 13 others were killed during an atrocity committed at a Dublin v Tipperary match in 1920.
The English team were well aware of the context; former Ireland international full-back Conor O'Shea was brought to give a talk on the historical importance of the occasion.
But despite all sides making the right moves in the run-up, there was nervous tension in the air. Ireland were also spurred by the fact they had given up their best ever shot at Grand Slam glory to a last-second try by Vincent Clerc weeks earlier.
How would the Irish crowd react to the English anthem? As ever, 'God Save The Queen' was also the national anthem for several members of the Irish squad and for many of the Ulster rugby people who had travelled for the match.
Across the city there was a quiet desperation for everything to go smoothly.
The crowd was in place well before the pre-match theatre.
The English anthem was played by the combined Army and Garda Number One bands and sung passionately and loudly by the English team and their support.
In an unconscious echo of 1973, when the English team was given five minutes of applause for coming to play in Dublin despite IRA threats, the anthem was applauded loudly and for a sustained period by the entire stadium.
Many of those applauding may have been determined to drown out any cat calling, but there was none. The Irish songs would have to be louder and more passionate.
On one of the last occasions when a large terrace was in place for an Ireland international, Amhrán Na bhFiann rocked Croke Park in a thunderous rendition that left all who heard it stunned. Ireland's Call followed almost as an afterthought, and it was time for the match.
It has been said that it was not a vintage England side and Brian Ashton's abilities as a coach were certainly on the wane at the time. But Jonny Wilkinson, Mike Tindall, Josh Lewsey, Martin Corry and Phil Vickery had all played on teams which had taken Ireland apart.
The Ireland line-up was the classic mix of Munster pack and Leinster backline with Peter Stringer and Ronan O'Gara, then in their pomp, fusing the two elements.
The southern province supplied six of the eight forwards, with only Simon Easterby and Rory Best hailing from outside Munster, while all of the outside backs were Leinster men with Brian O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy in the centres and Girvan Dempsey, Denis Hickie and Shane Horgan the back three.
England actually got the first score, Wilkinson putting over a penalty but Ireland responded with three from O'Gara.
Ireland were prepared to run from deep, and seemed to constantly have overlaps in the opening 20 minutes.
With the score 9-3 after 30 minutes, an Easterby surge into the 22 forced Danny Grewcock into giving away a penalty on the English line. The subsequent yellow card and kick to touch put Ireland firmly in the driving seat for a match-shaping 10-minute spell before half-time.
After opting for the lineout, the Irish maul came within inches of the try before the ball squirted out the back. The ball flashed across the backline, a reverse flip by D'Arcy and a pinpoint pass off his left O'Driscoll put Dempsey over for a simple score. Again, England seemed incapable of defending the wide channels.
Magnus Lund's chop down of a flying Dempsey when he was still three feet in the air riled up the crowd and the Irish players up again. That was soon followed by the English scrum being forced backwards onto its own tryline and into the concession of a scrum to Ireland.
The second try followed, David Wallace crashing through a couple of tacklers to put Ireland firmly in the ascendancy before half-time.
Ireland continued to dominate the scrum, and John Hayes led the drive to secure another penalty shortly after half-time but England were not quite done. Strettle raced in for a score in the corner and Wilkinson converted from the touchline and then added another routine penalty soon after to make it 26-13. Ireland replied with an O'Gara penalty but the game remained in the balance.
A breathless sequence in which Ireland could not break a firm English defensive line that kept rushing up at the outside centre channel to cut off Ireland's width.
O'Driscoll almost got over with a typical flashing rush onto a Horgan offload. Another dominant Irish scrum set up O'Gara and Horgan to complete the highlight of the match, O'Gara's cross kick collected over his head by the soaring winger in a move that many saw as echoing Gaelic Football.
A final pressured scrum by England allowed sub scrum-half Isaac Boss to intercept an ill-judged Shaun Perry pass and scamper in for a final try from just shy of half-way.
On a magical night in Dublin, it finished Ireland 43-13 England.

Nissan Recalls Jukes To Fix Stalling Problem
From the Driver's Seat:
Nissan Motor Co. is recalling certain Juke compact crossovers from the 2011 model year to fix a problem that could cause the vehicles to stall unexpectedly.
In a document filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration the car maker said vehicles built from April 9, 2010, through May 12, 2011, may have turbocharger boost-sensor brackets that might separate from the vehicle's air inlet tube because of a defective weld.
The recall includes 28,294 vehicles.

Sjostrom, M, Ardo, J, Eklundh, L, El-Tahir, BA, El-Khidir, HAM, Hellstrom, M, Pilesjo, P, Seaquist, J (2009). Evaluation of satellite based indices for gross primary production estimates in a sparse savanna in the Sudan. BIOGEOSCIENCES, 6(1), 129-138.
AbstractOne of the more frequently applied methods for integrating controls on primary production through satellite data is the Light Use Efficiency (LUE) approach. Satellite indices such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and the Shortwave Infrared Water Stress Index (SIWSI) have previously shown promise as predictors of primary production in several different environments. In this study, we evaluate NDVI, EVI and SIWSI derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite sensor against in-situ measurements from central Sudan in order to asses their applicability in LUE- based primary production modeling within a water limited environment. Results show a strong correlation between vegetation indices and gross primary production (GPP), demonstrating the significance of vegetation indices for deriving information on primary production with relatively high accuracy at similar areas. Evaluation of SIWSI however, reveal that the fraction of vegetation apparently is to low for the index to provide accurate information on canopy water content, indicating that the use of SIWSI as a predictor of water stress in satellite data-driven primary production modeling in similar semi-arid ecosystems is limited.

The proper name of the neotropical tree boa often referred to as Corallus enhydris (Serpentes: Boidae)
Journal of Herpetology

AbstractConfusion regarding the application of the proper scientific name for the common Neotropical tree boa has existed since Linnaeus described Boa enydris and Boa hortulana in 1758. We review the nomenclatural history of the species and point out the misapplication of scientific names that have characterized this form. Our review indicates that the proper scientific name for this highly variable, wide-ranging arboreal boid is Corallus hortulanus, not Corallus enydris, as has been used so frequently in recent years.

Marquette University School of Dentistry
Committee Co-Chairs: Anne Lakayil (D2) & Laura Hibbard (D2)
Mission: To promote sustainable lifestyles and work environments, and to inspire the Marquette University School of Dentistry community to work toward a more sustainable campus, dental profession, and world.
We work to implement sustainable initiatives at the dental school, engage the local community through service, and connect students with resources around Milwaukee to explore their interests in the outdoors, conservation, and healthy living.
Sustainability Committee Lunch and Learn
The Sustainability Committee members compiled sources for students to become better communicators with their patients on controversial topics. Specifically, we learned how to approach conversations with patients when met with resistance such as "I don't want any X-rays. I think they're dangerous" or questions like "can mercury in dental fillings leak out and enter the body?" Fluoride was also discussed. Video snippets and advice from Drs. Abena, Dentino, Grady, Hagner, Hodgson, Knapp, Murdoch, and Nelson were presented. The book "Tough Questions, Great Answers" written by Robin Wright was used as a foundation for the topic and Internet links were also collected to share with our patients to provide more information for them. The overwhelming take home message was that these conversations need to be approached from a non-confrontational method with our patients. Patients should be treated as a partner in healthcare, including informed shared decision making, and it is our job to make sure they understand both sides of any controversial topic.
About 30 minutes north of Milwaukee sits this small slice of paradise, the Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve. The park had a view of everything from breathtaking bluffs, rocky shorelines, and trickling streams within the woods. This group of sustainable living friends got some exercise, enjoyed good company, and even gathered decorative sticks to be used at the Senior Gala. It was a perfect hike for a beautiful fall day.
"The environment is where we all meet; where all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share." - Lady Bird Johnson, wife of U.S. President, Lyndon B. Johnson
On Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015, the Marquette community celebrated Earth Day at the 3rd Annual Sustainable Living Fair. The Sustainable Living Fair is hosted by #MarquetteASDA's Sustainability Committee and features MUSoD students as well as local organizations in the Milwaukee area. The purpose of the fair is to educate attendees about various aspects of sustainability and how to live a sustainable lifestyle. In total, 17 booths presented; the MUSoD student and faculty booths included the ASDA Health and Wellness committee, the November Project, the Urban Ecology Center, homemade cleaning materials, homemade jewelry, and healthy lunch options. Some organizations that presented include MU Students for an Environmentally Active Campus, MU Physical Therapy, Victory Garden Initiative, Herbalife, Wisconsin Bike Federation, Brew City Boxes, Outpost Natural Foods, the Ice Age Trail Alliance, and Focus on Energy from WE Energy. MUSoD students, faculty, staff, and other members of the community had the opportunity to learn from these booths while enjoying coffee, bagels, and a delicious lunch of salad and fajitas. Guests enjoyed live music provided by our students and had the chance to win prizes in a raffle.
With this being the first year having the event during lunch, the 3rd Annual Sustainable Living Fair was a huge success. Attendance more than doubled this year, with approximately 250 people in attendance. But beyond high attendance, the most rewarding experience from the event was witnessing peoples' interests spark and seeing new connections being made: staff members wanting to expand our plastic barriers recycling program, faculty members asking for maps of the Ice Age Trail, and students wanting to join the #MarquetteASDA Sustainability Committee. The 3rd Annual Sustainable Living Fair was a great success and fun for all. But more importantly, it proved that living sustainably appeals and applies to all of us, on Earth Day and everyday.
Saturday morning, jumped out of bed…and volunteered in the Marquette University Hunger Clean-Up! The Hunger Clean-Up is a one-day, university wide volunteer event where teams are assigned to various service projects in Milwaukee. The purpose of the event is to combat poverty and homelessness. 12 students representing #Marquetteasda and the Sustainability Committee bravely volunteered on Saturday April 18 and were teamed up with Marquette's Triathlon team. The joint team was assigned to a project organized by Independent First, a Milwaukee organization that serves as a resource for people with disabilities. The project was an electronics recycling event held in front of the Petit Center. This event serves two purposes: 1) to provide people with disabilities computers and other electronics that they cannot afford and 2) to teaches people with disabilities or of other disadvantaged backgrounds how to fix computers. By learning how to fix computers, these people gain a marketable skill which could lead to future employment.
#Marquetteasda, the Triathlon team, and volunteers of Independent First worked together to make the recycling program a success. People of the community drove up with their trunks full of electronics, and volunteers would unload their cars, sorting the electronic into large boxes. The boxes were soon piled high with electronics! Everything from lap-tops, waffle makers, to brail typewriters. On this Saturday morning, not only did we serve the community, meet awesome people, but we all got a good work out from lifting equipment. Definitely a win, and a great way to kick off Earth Week.
Time to suit up! It was the night of the ASDA ice age hike. I scrambled around my apartment to find the warmest articles of clothing I could unearth in my closet. Thermal leggings, long wool socks, jeans, a fleece pullover, a down jacket, and a winter coat, boots I just bought a few days earlier with tons of treading, and some nice snowboarding gloves. It seemed a bit overkill but then again, I had never been hiking in the middle of nowhere at night. I stepped out of my apartment, sweating profusely from all the layers I have on, and made my way to the dental school. I got there a bit early so I thought that my peers might have deemed it too cold to hike. But once the clock struck 6 the cars started to roll in and we were on our way to the Ice Age Trail at Lapham Peak. There were 12 of us total, more than I expected on such a cold night.
It was a beautiful night to go hiking, snow had just begun to fall and filled the air with white flurries. Flashlights in hand we headed down the trail for several minutes before the trail split. It was a classic fork in the road. Our intuition told us to go left but then we decided to go right anyway. It reminded me of that defining moment during a dental anatomy quiz and you change your answer at the last minute only to find out your first gut answer was right. Heading down the path, we did not see any foot prints at all. We mused that the snow must have covered up the footprints of the tour group. After crossing a suspicious, slanted crosswalk, we decided that this was definitely not the right way. We did not see or hear any signs of life. We decided to head back to the fork and take the alternative path. Next thing we knew we saw flight lights in the distance. The hike started to become more challenging as the snow started to pile up. Not to mention, the trail started to incline.
Nothing brings people closer than sharing a flashlight as you trek through a dark forest. We ended the night hike with a celebratory bonfire with a group of brave souls. There were a whole range of people in attendance from grandparents to young children and a really cute dog sporting a warm winter vest. We made s'mores and shared our bounty with our new comrades. They asked us where we were from and we told them we were dental students from Marquette. It was both satisfying and nostalgic to roast s'mores by the fireside with a group of friends. After the bonfire we headed out and made a short pitstop at Kopps, famous in Milwaukee for their burgers and frozen custard. What a great way to finish the night! It was my first Kopps experience and it was phenomenal. It was the juiciest burger I have ever sunk my teeth into…I have been missing out all my life. That wasn't even the best part, the frozen custard to unbelievable smooth and creamy I will definitely be back very soon. It was a great night and I look forward to more Hikes bonfires and burgers with ASDA!
It's a beautiful, crisp fall day. You're venturing out into unknown woods, surrounded by the vibrant colors of autumn. The leaves form an endless curtain as they dance from the trees and gracefully float to the ground. Thank goodness for your guiding companions because otherwise the path is invisible. In this moment, you're removed from modern society. There's no hurry or stress; there's only the beauty of the earth to discover.
Last Sunday, #marquetteasda members enjoyed their very own "Walk in the Woods" through part of the Ice Age Trail, the Monches segment. The hike was guided by enthusiastic volunteers of the Ice Age Trail Alliance. On this 5 mile hike, ASDA members bonded with eachother as well as other members throughout the community. After the hike, we explored the Monches Farm "Fall Open House", consisting of local art, crafts, food, and music. The day was a wonderful, relaxing escape - helping us "sustain" through the busy life of dental school!

On August 24, ASDA's Sustainability Committee enjoyed the last day of break at Kohler-Andrae State Park. We hiked through the dunes, observed wildlife, grilled out, and went for a swim! What a great day enjoying our beautiful Earth!
On Saturday June 21st, the MU-ASDA Sustainability Committee participated in its annual highway clean-up, on a mile stretch of highway 145 between Walnut street and 6th street, near downtown Milwaukee. We want to do what we can to make this earth a better and more sustainable place. All we saw was just the tip of the iceberg...there is so much more waste for us to clean up around Milwaukee! We hope to find more ways to be eco-friendly to Brew City! Ten or so cars waved or honked and gave a thumbs up to us for taking our free time to clean-up a green space. Talk about motivation! One guy even stopped his car, backed up, and got out to say thanks to us! It really made our time spent worthwhile.
The Sustainability Fair is an annual open-house style event held in the dental school. It is open to the Marquette community - both dental and undergrad - which provides a culmination of what the Sustainability Committee is all about. Typically held on or near Earth Day, it displays booths either run by students or business representatives. The businesses that attend are those that we feel are working towards a greener city. Examples of these are H2OScore, Brew City Boxes, and Growing Power. Booths run by students were mostly concentrated on healthier living and active lifestyle. These included everything from sailing clubs, to home brewing your own beer, to the November Project and our new MUASDA Health and Fitness Committee. All in all, this event was a fun and relaxing way to get a little education on how to better ourselves, as well as our relationship with the environment. And as an added bonus, we have a raffle afterwards for awesome prizes!
#MarquetteASDA paddles their way down the urban rivers finding the elusive Sasquatch. Okay, maybe they weren't looking for Sasquatch, but they did have a great Sunday afternoon, utilizing the resources found in Milwaukee, and the nature within our urban city Check out the pictures from the canoe outing.

Students from Marquette University School of Dentistry spent Saturday morning cleaning MUSoD's Adopt-a-Highway site. The ASDA Sustainability Committee organizes one clean-up per semester, with this being their 3rd clean-up. It is rewarding for the students to see the highway look cleaner and greener each time. All MUSoD students are welcome to join the clean-ups; you never know what interesting things you will find!
MUSoD's Adopt-a-Highway site is highway 145 (otherwise known as Fond Du Lac Ave) between Walnut St and 6th St. Look out for MUSoD's Adopt-a-Highway sign the next time you drive past!
The Marquette ASDA Sustainability Committee and ASDA members visited the local Urban Ecology Center and had a great time canoeing on the lake/pond in Milwaukee, WI. A great Saturday morning was spent hanging with friends and seeing a different side of the hustle and bustle city life.
Thank you to the Sustainability Chairs for organzing such a great outing!

Isaac Creek Campground -Thanksgiving
We spent Thanksgiving Thursday through Sunday at Isaac Creek Campground in Franklin Alabama. It's located along the Alabama River and where Isaac Creek flows into the Alabama. Reservations were easy and we could pick our spot through Reserve America. I did a little research and found a campground map online. I also researched some blogs to see what I could find out about the site. I found that the sites on Isaac Creek are more private and have wooded areas between each site. There are also docks for fishing along the creek too. About 15 docks for 20 sites. We arrived around 3:30pm after a 2.5 hour drive down from Montgomery Alabama. Bring your food since this place is really remote, but Finchburg Grocery is about 8 miles away that has pretty much everything (they have bait and camper stuff too) and they open at 5am.
Site 22 From the Creek
There are 60 sites total each with electric (50 amp) and water hookups (water is soft, so if you don't care for the taste/mouth feel bring your own water). Sites don't have sewer, but they do have a dual dump station close by at the park entrance. Sites are level concrete pads, have picnic tables, lantern holders, grill and fire ring. Sites 15-35 are premium waterfront sites, 1-6, 42-60 are standard non-waterfront sites. There are 2 bath houses with restrooms, showers and laundry. Showers have plenty of hot water, clean floors and are heated. Nights dropped into the 30's during our visit and the restrooms were a constant 60 degrees (there was a thermometer on the wall). Sites also have large 32 gallon trashcans and someone came around on Saturday morning and emptied the trash and put a new trash bag in the can.
Park is very VERY quiet and away from any highway noise. Boats do go up and down the creek, but it's a no wake zone so it's pretty quiet. Park was full by Friday but it was still very quiet at night. Only street lights are at the bath houses, so bring lights for making that walk to the potty. Boy it was REAL dark!
We have Verizon cellphone service and we could only get 1X. Occasional 3G service, but for the most part only 1X. Our television did not pick up any channels at all so if you want to watch TV better bring your satellite service with you.
There are three play grounds, basketball court with two hoops, pavilion, large group cook out area, boat launch, fishing dock on the river and trails. Quiet time is from 10pm to 6am. Pets must be on a leash. Due to the nature of the area there are no swimming areas.
We had a great time! Our site was number 22 on the creek and had it's own fishing dock.
Here's a link to more pictures from Isaac Creek Campground: More Pictures on Photobucket
I was able to take photos of 26 sites so that I could share. If interested in seeing some of the sites before you visit Isaac Creek Campground my photos can be found here: Specific Site Photos on Photobucket
Candler, NC – An Offline Vacation
A short six hour drive and we finally arrived at our destination.
We planned on arriving around 3pm but traffic and heavy rain delayed us about an hour. About 15 minutes out from Pisagh View Ranch my cellphone rang and they wanted to know if we'd be on time for for dinner. We gave them an update on our location and we arrived in time to eat dinner with the rest of the guests. See meals are served family style at specific times, so don't forget to let them know you are skipping a meal or if you are arriving late. Dinner was awesome! Homemade pot roast, grilled vegetables, homemade rolls, and polenta. Stuffed, they surprised us with dessert, apple crumble with ice cream on top. After dinner we checked in to our log cabin which was built in the 1940s, complete with rocking chairs on the front porch.
The reason behind the title of this post is there are no televisions in the cabins and there is no cellphone service. WiFi is available at the main house and if you need to use the phone to make a call there is one that you can use for free.
And it was my first time back on a horse since 1982…
Holiday Weekend in the Popup Camper
What do we do on a long holiday weekend and want to save some money? We camp at home! Plus who wants to go camping when all the campgrounds are overflowing with campers wishing to get one last trip in before summer is over. We stayed home and I'm planning an even better trip when the temps get cooler and the campgrounds empty out some.
Visit Comparaboo to see the top rated tents.
So what are the positive things about camp driveway? Here are mine: 1) If you don't want to use the potty or shower in the popup you can always go use the facilities the camp host provides. 2) If you forget to bring snacks you know the locations of all the local stores. 3) Dominos delivers. 4) If the AC goes out in the camper you can sleep in your own bed and not get in a fight with your spouse because everyone is hot and miserable. 5) The camp host doesn't complain because your dog is barking. 6) The camp host doesn't complain that your water line is leaking.
Here are some of the cons for camp driveway: 1) There is no guarantee that a neighbor won't start a lawnmower, weed eater, leaf blower, chainsaw or tractor at 7am on a Saturday. 2) Realizing its not so quiet outside your home at 2am. Who are these people out at 2am on a Sunday? Do their mothers know they are out late? 3) You may wake up on Saturday with an urge to start mowing the lawn because the neighbor is mowing theirs. You can't sleep anyways, so why not?
Over all the long weekend was great. I got to do a lot of cleaning inside the Popup so that she's ready for our next campground trip. Only one night was noisy and our neighbor waited until 8am to start mowing. Plus the camp host has an awesome entertainment room and didn't mind us watching television anytime we wanted! Ready for our next campground trip!
More fun next time!
CCC and State Parks – Explore!
Growing up very close to Cheaha Mountain there were plenty of CC roads to explore. I never really put it together until a few years ago on what exactly these dirt roads were and how they were created. Not sure what a CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) State Park is either? Alabama has a few, so check them out. Your great grandfather may have worked at the CCC camps.
More to come about our trip we took over the weekend. In the mean time brush up on just what the CCC was during its time.

Almost simultaneously, the price on this item jumped $100.00, coincidence? Then I emailed customer service stating the exact same thing that I was a loyal customer of over 10 years and made many purchases and was always treated as I should be, with honesty, and requested that New Egg honor their sale price with the same product at the same price, or a reasonable "like" product.

Recently, there has been a great deal of discussion about 60 new police officers in Providence, crime rates, shootings, and what should be done and how.
Let me shatter some myths about crime rates and numbers of cops on the street.
The Kansas City Preventive Patrol Experiment proved that unless properly directed, more cops on the street do not translate automatically into less crime. Random patrols bring random results. Direction is the key to efficiency in personnel.
Crime rates fluctuate with the economy. A rising economy springs rising crime rates. Why? There is more disposal income.
Since uniformed personnel are the biggest expense and the most important, the 60 or so cops should not be just to fill in for overtime, sickness, vacations, and those injured on duty. Although very important to do and necessary, the key to this supplement of personnel is to place them in the right place at the right time more successfully more of the time.

Planning and forecasting can be challenging with traditional planning applications and manual modeling techniques.

Gaps in key pieces of information are causing many C-level
executives to make important decisions about projects without fully
understanding the inherent risks and opportunities.
This is one of the main findings in "Putting the Truth on the Table," the latest in a series of reports about strategic project portfolio management by The EPPM Board, an international steering group of senior industry executives, academics, and commentators.
This report analyzes the root causes of information gaps and concludes that executives should be focusing on four areas: evolving corporate culture to gain more-accurate information, analyzing opportunity as well as risk, achieving greater visibility into supplier operations to help mitigate risk, and implementing practices that improve the relevance of information presented to management and enhance the overall health of the project portfolio.
1. Evolve the Culture Toward Truth and Visibility
The EPPM Board found that senior leaders might not get the insights they need due to how staff members report issues and problems. One example is excessive optimism, which was apparent when the Cranfield School of Management analyzed 400 projects and found no reports of impending glitches. To address behavioral challenges such as these, the C-suite must have technologies in place to collect information anonymously, such as through mobile devices and apps.
2. Analyze and Weigh Opportunity As Thoroughly As Risk
Operations and delivery teams often concentrate on identifying and managing risk, but this approach can miss important opportunities. Using enterprise project portfolio management technology can identify opportunities for turning portfolios into strategic assets that produce measurable benefits. The portfolio can then be viewed as an investment that can be advanced in different directions as the fundamentals behind a strategy change.
3. Reach Beyond Organizational Walls for Insight into Supplier Operations and Capabilities
Suppliers and contractors are often judged solely by their ability to meet deadlines and manage costs, but this limited criteria may conceal underlying risks. The C-suite should insist on detailed reports about how effective major suppliers and contractors are at delivering projects when confronted with change. This level of visibility enables executives to make strategic decisions on the suitability of third parties beyond mere cost.
4. Implement Project Assurance Practices
Project assurance provides impartial assessments about the necessary resources and risks needed to ensure successful implementations of capital investments. But some organizations fall short when developing unbiased and comprehensive analyses. Creating the new role of chief project officer may provide a resource who can gather and present data in a way that is relevant to C-level leaders.
The full report delves into each of these areas in detail—and reinforces The EPPM Board's findings that improving C-level insight is critical to enabling better business decisions.

Strategy, Oracle
I was sitting in a restaurant in downtown San Francisco in the winter of 1995 when the canvas of my future found fresh paint. I had been living in Lake Tahoe since the fall. I was studying for the Medical College Admission Test, commuting to Davis, California to take my final exams, and racing out the door anytime the snow flew to catch first tracks on Squaw Valley's KT22 ski run. Being the son of three generations of physicians sounded like a stable future, but I had doubts. I had numerous friends recently graduated, and during the fall had canvassed them all with a simple question: "Are you happy?"
So one afternoon I dusted off the only suit I owned and drove to San Francisco to meet with a friend who had convinced me to attend one of the Project Management Institute's monthly chapter dinners. He worked as a project controls engineer for a large engineering, procurement, and construction company based in San Francisco. "I love what I do" is what he said over the phone, "and the projects are tangible things that literally change the face of the planet." The evening's panel of contractors was working on the expansion of the San Francisco International Airport. As each participant shared their story, I became impressed by the complexity of the project, the coordination required, and the results achieved. By the time dinner rolled around I leaned over and whispered, "You're right, this is pretty cool."
On my way home, I decided I was going to find and enroll in a class that could teach me more about Oracle's Primavera P3.I found a course and discovered that the area of project controls was a discipline that attracted me. What the technology let me do was intoxicating and I have been an enthusiast ever since.
The organization, the tracking, the ability to make sense out of masses of information— it was such powerful technology! It allowed me to keep my finger on the pulse of very complex activities. For more than 15 years I have worked with and enjoyed the technology that Dick Faris and Joel Koppelman, co-founders of Primavera Systems, Inc., helped build. I work with a large group of project controls devotees who continue to develop new and innovative ways for technology to help conceive, plan, visualize, execute, value, control, and deliver engineering and construction infrastructure across the world.
With Oracle's recent acquisition of Skire's Unifier product, the company has the capabilities that will help it develop an integrated and comprehensive cost and scheduling solution for engineering and construction.
I am often asked about Oracle's strategy for the engineering and construction industry, and I answer with three principles that guide its strategy and offer a glimpse into the product development culture of the Oracle Primavera product family—commitment, focus, discipline.
Commitment. Oracle is committed to its customers, the engineering and construction industry, and to creating top-quality products
Focus. Oracle is focused on industry needs, value, and integrated solutions
Discipline. Oracle believes in empowering people with the right technology to support the discipline of project controls
Oracle is committed to supporting and enhancing its current products as well as to developing a new, market-leading, best-in-class solution. Let's go build something together.

You can create Meeting Activities in Workbooks, just as you would any other type of Activity. The record looks similar to other Activity records but includes fields for Location, Start and End Date/times as well as a section where you can create recurring meetings and another where you can specify the attendees . The icon also differs slightly from a standard Activity record to identify them as a different type.
- Creating a new Meeting
- Meeting Recurrence
- Updating a Recurring Meeting
- All Day Meetings
- Meeting Attendees
- Setting the Primary Contact
- Generating a PDF template
- Adding Meetings to your Calendar
Creating a new Meeting
A Meeting record can be created in Workbooks by clicking Start -> New -> Meeting or by navigating to the Activities Landing Page and choosing "New Meeting" from the left hand menu.
As with any other record type in Workbooks, there are a number of standard fields that require values to be set before you are able to create the Meeting record. These are as follows:
- Subject:
- Start date/time
- End date/time
- Assigned to: A list of users that currently have access to that database. You can assign the record to a user and they will be notified via the method set in their preferences.
- Status: An unrestricted picklist where a user can type any value they wish or alternatively, you can add to the values available by adding to the picklist called "Activity Statuses"
- Priority: An unrestricted picklist where a user can type any value they wish or alternatively, you can add to the values available by adding to the picklist called "Activity Priorities"
- Show Time As: Select from the following options; "Busy", "Available", "Out of office", "Tentative". You are unable to add to this picklist.
Meeting Recurrence
A Meeting record in Workbooks can be set up as a recurring meeting. This means that when you save the Meeting, several records can be created or updated automatically based on the settings that are chosen by the user.
By default the "Enabled" checkbox is not set. When ticked, this will allow the user to configure a number of settings for the Meeting from the following:
- Frequency: Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Annually.
- Frequency of Repetition: Free text allowing any value e.g. Repeat every 2 weeks.
- Specify the day: Monday through Sunday.
- Repeat: Forever, for X occurrences, until a specified date.
NOTE: Setting a Meeting to recur forever doesn't create unlimited meetings. Records will be created for the intervals specified for a maximum of two years from the date of the first Meeting.
Updating a Recurring Meeting
After the initial save of a Recurring Meeting, Workbooks will create the relevant records. If you then make a change to one of these Meetings, you will be presented with three options when you next save. These are:
- Only this Meeting – all other Meetings in this series will remain the same.
- All following Meetings – this Meeting plus any future Meetings will be updated with the changes that you made.
- All Meetings in the series – all Meetings in the series will be updated.
All Day Meetings
A standard meeting in Workbooks has a start and end date/time. For example, a Meeting will start on 02/12/14 at 9:00AM and finish on 02/12/14 at 10:00AM. It is possible to set an "All day" flag on the Meeting record which will automatically change the Meeting to run from midnight of the start date right through to 11:59PM of that day.
Meeting Attendees
Meeting records in Workbooks allow you to add attendees to track who was invited. Within the "Attendees" reveal, there are three key fields to store this information in Workbooks which are:
- Required: These people must attend the meeting for it to go ahead.
- Optional: Attendees that are welcome to join a Meeting but aren't specially required for it to go ahead.
- Resource: Typically a Meeting room within a company such as email@example.com
NOTE: An email is not sent to the listed attendees automatically. The functionality is only designed to keep track of who was invited to a particular Meeting. It is possible to write an additional script to achieve this functionality. If this is something that you would like to consider, please contact email@example.com for further information.
Setting the Primary Contact
When creating a Meeting record in Workbooks, you have the option of setting a Primary Contact. This is the main contact for the Meeting and best practice is to ensure that this is set for each Meeting record that you create. To set the Primary Contact, add them as an attendee by typing their name or email address into the "Required" or "Optional" fields. Workbooks will look up in pre-existing People and Sales Lead records to see if the contact exists as you type. If a record is found, select it from the list to add them as an attendee.
You can then either hover over and click the arrow that appears or right click on that attendee to reveal a menu with several options. The menu options change depending on whether you have added a Person or a Sales Lead as an attendee and the data that is stored against that record. From this menu, you can achieve the following:
- Set the Primary Contact – This will place a small black star against that contact to indicate the Primary Contact.
- View that attendee's Person/Lead record – The attendee must already exist on your Workbooks database as a Person or Lead record to see this option.
- View that attendee's Employer (Organisation) record – This Organisation must already exist on your Workbooks database and be linked to this attendee via the "Employer" field on the corresponding Person record to see this option.
- Call them directly from Workbooks using stored numbers – There must be a phone number stored on the Person or Lead record for this attendee otherwise this option will not be present in the list. You must also have Telephone Integration configured such as Skype.
- Email them directly from Workbooks using a stored email address – There must be an email address stored on the Person or Lead record for this attendee. NOTE: It isn't possible to add a Person/Lead as an attendee if they do not have an email address. You can however enter in just the email address, Workbooks will then give you the option to add that email as a record to your database if it doesn't exist already.
- Remove them from the attendees list.
NOTE: You can only set one Primary Contact per Meeting.
Generating a PDF template from your meeting
Workbooks allows you to generate a PDF template, that can be emailed to the attendees of a scheduled meeting, to do this, simply click the "generate PDF" button in the toolbar.
Templates that can be used with this form layout will be shown in the dropdown box.
Adding Meetings to your Calendar
Once you've created a Meeting record you can download it to your calendar by generating an iCal record (.ics file). If you have configured a recurring meeting these settings will be retained when you download the iCal file. There are two ways to do this:
From a Meeting record - open the relevant Meeting record and click "Download":
The other method for downloading the iCal record is from the Activities Landing Page - open the Activities Landing Page and navigate to the view that contains the Meeting record you want to add to your calendar. Click on the Download button at the end of the relevant row.
NOTE: Sometimes, your browser will block the download of the iCal file as a new window will open when you click "Download". Please see our forum post on disabling the pop up blocker for Workbooks, here if you are experiencing problems.
Both methods will download an iCal record for this Meeting. If you want to modify any details you can do so, then click Save & Close. This adds the Meeting and any recurrences to your Outlook calendar. If someone is making appointments on your behalf in Workbooks, the appointment maker can download the appointment and forward the iCal/ics file to you by email attachment. Upon receipt, open the attachment and Outlook will import it to the calendar as if you downloaded it yourself.
