Julesburg CO (SPX) Oct 14, 2008
National Wind has announced its partnership with landowners in Sedgwick, Phillips, and Logan Counties in Colorado, to form and capitalize NECO Wind. NECO Wind, which stands for Northeast Colorado Wind, will construct 400 megawatts (MW) or more of wind energy generation facilities under the management of National Wind.
When complete, it is expected this project will produce enough electricity to power approximately 120,000 homes and is anticipated to be one of the largest wind projects in Colorado. NECO Wind will be the second wind energy project in Colorado under National Wind's management.
NECO Wind has also formed an advisory board composed of area landowners. The advisory board plays an integral role in the development process, acting as a liaison between the community and NECO Wind.
To provide further community contact, NECO Wind has opened an office in Julesburg and hired local field specialists, Janan "JJ" Jones, Kirsten Muncy and Jerry Keintz, to work with landowners to inform them about the wind project.
"We've been trying to start a community wind project in the area for a while now," says Lyle Blochowitz, NECO Wind Advisory Board Vice-Chair. "With National Wind as our manager, we benefit from their project development experience, but we're also able to maintain local participation and ownership in the project."
"NECO Wind's community-based wind model provides many benefits to area landowners and the local economy," says Bruce Rosenbach, NECO Wind Advisory Board Chair. "We expect a substantial share of the project's potential development proceeds to stay in the community."
"In addition to working to keep potential financial benefits local, we strive to maintain open communication and landowner representation as core components of the community model," adds Pat Pelstring, Co-Chair of National Wind.
"Northeast Colorado landowners will help guide the development process through regular advisory board meetings, landowner forums, and other discussions. The community has a say and a stake in the project. That's why community wind projects have such strong local support."
National Wind is currently managing and developing ten large-scale community wind projects in the Upper Midwest and Plains States. If these projects, including NECO Wind, are completed and start operating, they could fulfill the electricity needs of nearly one million average American homes.

Students practise English over tea
Form 4 students at St Thomas More College have started inviting their younger peers over to their classrooms for tea, cake and conversation. The activity forms part of Tea Talk, an activity aimed at encouraging students to talk in English in an informal setting while enjoying the popular British tradition of drinking tea and eating cake.
The school's English teachers prepare the students beforehand, suggesting ways in which they can start off conversations with their guests.
The students were also shown video clips, learned about tea idioms and research on the beverage and even given tea-time treats recipes.
Many students were highly motivated for the activity and volunteered to bake cakes and biscuits for the occasion.
Known as Britain's favourite beverage and poured at times of celebration, stress or sadness, tea is central to everyday life in Britain and many other countries across the globe, including Malta.

Over at The Christian Post, General Jerry Ralph Curry gives an astonishingly bad argument against gay marriage. Should SCOTUS actually declare homosexuality a civil right, it logically follows that polygamy, pedophilia and bestiality would one day also be declared a civil right by the Court.

Samsung is planning to strengthen its grip on the worldwide phone market, and become a major player in tablet PCs, with a range of new models featuring larger screens, thinner casework, enhanced technology and lower prices.
The Korean giant aims to be the world's biggest-selling mobile phone company, and has set itself the task of selling a total of 300m phones this year, while doubling the number of smartphones it shifts and achieving 500% growth in tablet PC sales.
That's the plan outlined by the president of the company's mobile division, Shin Jong-kyun, speaking at the Mobile World Congress, now running in Barcelona.
He launched new versions of both the Galaxy S smartphone and Galaxy Tablet tablet PC, and announced plans for a lower-priced smartphone, designed to sell for $150 (around £100).
This would enable the company to expand the success it has already enjoyed in the US, Europe and its home market, and grow sales in areas such as the Asian subcontinent, Africa and Latin America.
More after the break
That forms part of the company's plan to grow sales of smartphones to 60m units this year, and boost its tablet PC sales to 7.5m units.
Samsung also plans to reduce its dependence on hardware sales, and follow Apple's lead in becoming a solutions company, delivering both software and content for smartphones, as well as the phones themselves.
And it's not alone in that ambition: Korean rival LG has announced an alliance with YouTube, concentrating on delivering 3D content to smartphones and tablet PCs.
The deal will allow easy upload of 3D content via LG's Optimus 3D and Optimus Pad devices, the Optimus 3D being the first smartphone to allow direct upload/download and viewing of 3D video on YouTube's dedicated 3D channel.
New Galaxy Tab 10.1 and S2 smartphoneThe new Samsung devices launched at MWC are the Galaxy S2 smartphone and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Both are slimmer than the existing models, and feature larger screens.
The Galaxy S2 has a 4.3in touchscreen in place of the original's 4in display, and uses what Samsung calls Super AMOLED Plus technology to reduce power consumption while maintaining brightness and clarity.
A dual-core processor is used to give speed said to equal that of a PC, and the new phone runs Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread, a key function of which is the ability to make wireless payments.
Yet the phone is lighter and thinner than the original Galaxy S, shaving 5g off the weight and 1.4mm from the thickness: the new model is just 8.5mm thick and weighs 116g.
Shin says that the company hopes the Galaxy S2 will become the new standard for smartphones when it appears, and will build on the 10m+ Galaxy S phones sold since that model was launched eight months ago.
If the Galaxy S2 is designed to attack the iPhone, then the new Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet PC is all about taking the fight to the iPad. It has a much larger screen than the original model – 10.1in instead of 7in, and yet is thinner, at just 10.9mm.
It runs Honyecomb, Google's latest tablet PC operating system, on a 1GHz dual-core processor, and looks likely to be more expensive than the original Tab when it goes on sale.
That 10.1in screen means the new Galaxy Tab has a larger display than the 9.7in iPad, but Samsung will have an uphill struggle to match iPad sales: Apple has sold 14.8m iPads in just under a year, while the original Galaxy Tab is estimated to have sold 2m units since its October 2010 launch.Follow whathifi.com on Twitter

CSS Not([hacks]) : Comments
January 7, 2008
I don't quite agree that this solution is safer: in later versions, IE might be supporting some of the selectors but, for one reason or the other, it might still not support some feature you needed and for which you used the selector to hide it.
I do agree, however, that this is a better solution then hacks: after all, what's the use of standards when you're not conforming to them?
Nice idea. The only downside with this solution is that it can dramatically alter the specificity if your rules. This means that some of your rules will be ignored (and debugging that can be a pain) and will ultimately lead to lots of !important rules, creating a maintenance nightmare.
Still a nice idea, though. I'm sure there are situations in which it beats using hacks.
> Finally, using only-child or last-child, we can target just Firefox.
This is very dangerous advice, and is a hack in my book. As you may know, Opera now supports these and the other selectors. There will come a time when Safari and IE will do the same. If you use properties that are part of a standard to target one browser, you are always going to get into trouble and break those other browsers. An example is when developers used a similar technique to target Opera by using Media Queries. Not only did it break Opera when we fixed the bugs those hacks were targeting, but it also broke Safari when they added Media Query support. A Yahoo! site (I forget which one) is a high profile example of a site where this happened.
I'd advise against using this technique in any way. IE can be targeted much more safely with conditional comments. For other browsers it is much more difficult. Although I don't like it, browser and version sniffing can be used for the other browsers, if it is something that can't be worked around or object detection can't be used (CSS for example).
Great article at starting to find smart ways around IE's incompatibility.
My though is that while hacks are not valid to the CSS spec, bloated selectors take away from semantic code. I'd rather read and write simple hacks that have specific meaning, than selectors that are all over the place just to target IE.
I do think that this is a great option and thanks for sharing it.
First great article, Brian, and thanks for writing it. Definitely a great method of tackling, what we can call 'valid CSS hacks', if we should even call them hacks.
I guess the hack nomenclature is more easily adopted and understood, bu it's not like we're changing the behavior or functionality of CSS itself, we're hacking the browsers with CSS, kind of like you'd hack your iPhone with 3rd party apps, etc.
I have to also agree with Vincent above. We're dealing with two or more beasts in these situations: the browser's rendering engine, CSS support, and CSS parsing/syntax support.
Any of those being inconsistent then you're in for a problem. If the rendering issues is not fixed when more of the new CSS spec is supported, then you've still got a problem. Gotta love our jobs ;]
I tend to agree with David Storey because:
"This is assuming that when IE8 supports the :lang() pseudo selector it will also be capable of displaying the image."
can be a dangerous assumption to make.
I agree with David: using this technique is not a good idea. It has exactly the same problem as the CSS hacks of old: it assumes that if a browser starts supporting, say, :first-child, it will also have solved all CSS bugs that you wanted to work around. That is a dangerous assumption.
A browser might opt not to support :first-child but solve the CSS bug nonetheless, or it might start to support :first-child and don't solve the bug. In either case your CSS misfires.
If you're thinking of using this technique, please read my old column Keep CSS Simple before proceeding.
Thank for everyone's comments.
@Milo, you are correct, this would change the specificity so this is something to look out for and be careful of.
This article is intended to show alternatives to hacks. As i said, everything in moderation. Microsoft recommends to use conditional comments, and there will always be times when hacks will be needed. No matter what, hack or no hack, with each version of any new browser it might correctly match these CSS3 selectors (or you hacks) and still not render correctly. As a developer we need to decided on trade-offs. This article is meant to make others aware of options besides hacks.
Case-in-point, from the time i wrote this article to now, Opera 9.5 beta has matured and supports many of these CSS3 selectors.
Keep your hacks as ugly as possible so it hurts each time you see them – you'll never forget they exist. Keep your CSS as simple as possible. Somewhere there is a middle ground and these ideas should not be out-right dismissed – they are just another tool for a developer to be used in the right situations.
It should be noted that Safari 2's implementation of "last-child" is buggy (http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4812). Which pretty much prevents using this selector at all.
I'm not sure if it's fixed in safari3.
If you included a Webkit 3 beta, you might have include Opera Kestrel (9.5) beta as well. I've gone through the tests and all of them seem to work in 9.5.
I'm not convinced.
For one it complicates the CSS code. For another you seem to imply that all code is in one file.
I like to create a separate file for all IE bug fixes using conditional comments in my HTML. If the fixes are extensive (as with a recent project) I even use separate files for both IE6/7 and IE6 only.
This way all CSS is valid, no hacks required.
And should that happy day arrive when IE6 no longer needs to be supported, all I do is delete the specific CSS file and, with a global search&replace, the corresponding conditional HTML comments.
Great article. Very informative right when i needed it. I really like the info you provide on this website. I just started a blog and added this Digital Web to my blogroll. Good info here.
I run into css3 problems all of the time. Sometimes i just want to throw it all away and just upload a new screenshot of the web page every time i edit it. One of the major bugs that i've had to handle in css3 is the "last child" as John B. has stated already. but everything seems to run pretty smooth for me outside of that. Jens, i like your idea of running separate files for ie hacks.

Pressure is mounting dramatically to find new industrial land in the Lower Mainland and preserve the sites that exist as the volume of goods arriving at the region's ports keeps increasing.
A port official said demand is urgent for distribution centres near Deltaport to handle the constant re-sorting of contents that is essential in the container business.
"Once the Terminal 2 project is done in Delta [and the available land around that is used up,] there literally is nothing left," Port Metro Vancouver chief executive officer Robin Silvester said as his agency announced on Monday that the port had yet another huge bump in volume for 2013. "We project the current inventory will be used up in the early 2020s."
Port traffic increased nine per cent overall in 2013 compared to the previous year. Container traffic increased four per cent.
Besides increasing volume, Mr. Silvester said industrial lands are under threat as municipalities go along with requests to convert them to other uses.
The region has lost 3,000 hectares of industrial land over the past 30 years.
Now, Imperial Oil is trying to sell 232 acres (94 hectares) of oil refinery and storage land in Port Moody and Anmore, with the city councils not making any public objections to date. And in Richmond, a 19-acre (8-hectare) site on Duck Island at the north end of No. 3 Road has just been sold after being marketed as a future mixed-use development.
The shortage of industrial land has prompted many commercial real-estate brokers and industry analysts to demand that some agricultural land around Delta be converted for industrial use.
Mr. Silvester said the port does not want that.
But if the region keeps losing big chunks of industrial land to condos and offices, few choices are left. "The only release valve left becomes agricultural land."
The port's 2013 numbers come with the rare opening of a new industrial park near Deltaport.
The Dayhu Group is in the last stages of building a 47-acre (19-hectare) industrial park in Boundary Bay – not the closest land to the port, but the nearest anyone has been able to find in recent memory.
Dayhu already has one tenant, Apps Express, a logistics company that specializes in sorting and packing goods for containers that are coming and going from the port.
The recently opened South Fraser Perimeter Road, which connects Deltaport with Highway 1, has prompted huge interest in finding new industrial space in the area, Dayhu COO Paul Tilbury said.
He said his company's park, which will open in April, does not come close to meeting the demand.
"The Lower Mainland can absorb about 300 to 400 acres (120 to 160 hectares) a year to keep pace with the expected port expansion," he said.
The Tsawwassen First Nation is planning to develop 200 acres (80 hectares) of industrial land near the port, but that will not meet the demand either.
A commercial real-estate broker who works in the area said investors have looked at trying to assemble land along the perimeter road or Highway 1 to create more of the kind of modern industrial facilities – 36-foot ceilings, mechanized loading equipment – the port needs.
But that is proving difficult, said Ryan Kerr of Avison Young.
Any land that is available is selling at stiff prices of between $1.1-million and $1.5-million per acre for small sites, making it economically challenging for a company to assemble big plots.
Like the Port Metro boss, Mr. Kerr said the province, which controls agricultural land, or Metro Vancouver, which controls industrial zoning, is going to have to figure out a solution soon.
"It's something that's going to have to come to a head."Report Typo/Error

Driver in cyclists' fatal crash released
Page Tools
The driver of the runaway car that hit and killed an Australian Institute of Sport cyclist and seriously injured two others has been released from hospital in Germany today.
The 18-year-old, whose first name is Steffi, had been suffering from shock and a minor head injury.
Police are not expected to interview her for at least three weeks while they gather evidence about Monday's fatal crash.
The inexperienced driver, at the wheel of a Volvo, hit and killed AIS cyclist Amy Gillett near the town of Zeulenroda in eastern Germany, with five AIS road cycling team members remaining in hospital in nearby Jena, two in a critical condition.
Police want to speak to the Australian cyclists before interviewing Steffi about her role in the collision.
Steffi was quoted by newspaper Berliner Zeitung as saying she did not remember the incident, but hospital officials have accused the paper of fabricating the quotes.
The article said Steffi was staying in the Kreiskrankenhaus in the town of Greiz.
Staff confirmed she had been there and subsequently gone home, but expressed disbelief that a journalist could have spoken to her without their knowledge.
"We have read the article now, but as far as we know it didn't actually happen and they have just invented it; the creativity of journalists!" hospital managing director Hans-Georg Hunger said.
"There is no way it could have happened.
"In theory it might be possible for them to talk to the head doctor, but the idea that they spoke to her - no, that just cannot be.
"Her parents, who are clearly directly connected to her and have a right to access, had to show ID. We demanded this."
Investigating police from the town of Gera are aware of the article but said it did not prove she was fit for questioning.
"We have certainly not approached her or spoken to her yet," a police spokesman said.
"That is a major step in proceedings and has to be officially decided.
"Everything will depend on the health of the driver, and this is something for police and health authorities to work out."
The district public prosecutor in Gera, Ralf Mohrmann, said: "Police tend to approach the injured parties between two and four weeks after the incident, so I expect her to be approached in about 3 weeks.
"The most helpful information for police before talking to the driver involved in the accident, in this case, will be talking to the witnesses."
It is Steffi's right under German law to remain silent at the initial stages.
Berliner Zeitung's Alex Heinen stood by the report and insisted a reporter had spoken to Steffi.
"We went there on Thursday afternoon and went into the room where Steffi was," he said.
"She was on the phone and her aunt was also there, and we spoke with her aunt about how she was doing and about her not being able to remember anything.
"She had an injury on her left ear but otherwise seemed relatively normal."

Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is an illness caused by a bacteria. Black-legged ticks spread the bacteria to humans in the northeastern and north-central United States.
Ticks feed by inserting their mouthparts into the skin of a host, and slowly taking in blood. This feeding process can take from 3-7 days. Prompt removal of ticks, especially within 48 hours, can prevent the spread of the disease.
Lyme disease is generally not life-threatening. It is usually a mild illness with flu-like symptoms (fever, headache, fatigue) and a bull's-eye rash. However, if left untreated, serious problems involving the heart, joints and nervous system may develop in some people.
You can reduce your chance of exposure to lyme disease by using insect repellent, removing ticks promptly, landscaping, and using integrated pest management. Ticks that spread lyme disease can also spread other diseases.
If you have a tick that you would like identified and tested for lyme disease, you can bring it to our office. We will submit the tick to the Michigan Department of Community Health laboratory. One of our public health nurses will contact you with the results.

This medallion belonged to Kevin Silver's father and was believed to be his grandfather's originally. Kevin has been told is "probably" a protection device that his grandfather wore to protect himself from harm and evil spirits. His grandfather was an Orthodox Jew from Russia who was very religious.
Kevin has tried to match the letter to the Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Ancient Greek, Russian, & Ancient Russian alphabets without success. Can you help?
I've decided to put puzzles on this blog to make it possible for you leave comments rather than having to send them to me. I don't know why I didn't think of this before.
Solution from Aharon Shmuel
The language is Hebrew written in the Paleo-Hebrew/Phoenician alphabet (abjad). The script is taken from the style used on coins minted during the Jewish revolts against Rome; indeed, this seems to be a replica of a coin from that period.
The text reads שנת אחת לגאלת ישראל; SHNAT ACHAT LEGE'ULAT YISRAEL; year one of Israel's redemption. This phrase was used on coins minted during the revolts. In fact, Israel has issued stamps featuring ancient coins with this exact phrase on them: here and here.
One interesting feature here is the backwards letter Gimmel (the 8th letter, reading from right to left). I've been scouring the internet looking for an example of coins from this period with a backward Gimmel, but each one I've found has been facing forward. This, along with the owners comments, leads me to believe that this replica was made by a reader/writer of the Cyrillic alphabet who mixed up the Gimmel with the corresponding letter Ge – after all, what is a Cyrillic Ge if not a backward Gimmel.
Also, the Alephs are inconsistent (4th, 9th & 15th letters), and the Nun (2nd letter) looks more like a Mem but that could just be the picture quality.
As a side note, the current 1 and 10 New Israeli Shekel coins make use of Paleo-Hebrew; the ₪10 has a similar phrase, לגאלת ציון; LEGE'ULAT TZION; for the redemption of Zion.
All in all, a very cool coin to have – I'm jealous. As far as protection from spirits etc., could well have been intended for that. I'd wear it if I had it. -Aharon

Product Description
The Kalita Wave filters are made out of the highest grade filter paper around and the design allows the filter to be slightly suspended above the bottom of the Kalita Wave coffee dripper. This helps funnel water contact away from the outer wall of the dripper. Careful with your rinsing and pouring. The wave shape must be maintained with a gentle directional pour or the filter sides will collapse and you lose the Wave advantage. Pre-soak the filter in place for best results.
Pack of 100 white filters - The 155 Wave dripper is optimized for brewing a single-serving of brewed coffee. We recommend this dripper for 1-2 tablespoons of coffee, yielding 12-16 ounces of brewed coffee.
Pack of 100 white filters - The 185 Wave dripper is for when you need that venti size coffee. Try 2-3 tablespoons of fresh ground coffee and ideally your yield will be approximately 16-26 ounces of brewed coffee.
|How Does it Compare?
|The Kalita Wave coffee filter is made from the best filter paper available. The innovative design takes coffee drippers to a whole new level. These white filters come in a pack of 100 for the 155 or 185 sizes.
|Tips and Tricks
|In order to maintain the wave shape of the Wave filter, use a gooseneck tea kettle for the best control of boiling water.

"This extraordinary book is one of the very best—and certainly the most original—anthropological and historical studies of slavery I have read. Through a combination of superb ethnography, original analysis, and painstaking archival work, Auslander tells an important and utterly compelling story. Thoughtfully organized and beautifully written, The Accidental Slaveowner will be an essential source for everyone interested in slavery and in the history of race relationships in the United States."—Rosalind Shaw, author of Memories of the Slave Trade: Ritual and the Historical Imagination in Sierra Leone
"This stunning book applies anthropological perspectives on myth and kinship to the pervasive legacy of slavery, which still dominates American understandings of race, humanity, freedom. Auslander's skilled collaboration with the descendants of 'Miss Kitty,' sometimes called 'the person who caused the civil war,' brings the unexpected story of her family to light, forging firm links across separations of black and white, slave and master, past and present. In the process, haunting fallacies are exorcised, and nagging paradoxes of blood and betrayal find voice, making possible new lines of debate, and novel pursuits of understanding, even justice."—Jean Comaroff, University of Chicago
"The Accidental Slaveowner is a beautifully written account of the complex ways in which family and institutional histories and memories of slavery are told and retold by blacks and whites in this country. At its heart is the important national story of the split of the Methodist Episcopal Church into northern and southern factions over the meaning of slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War. Mark Auslander has taken this institutional history and uncovered the personal stories of families and communities who felt and still feel the reverberations of that conflict down to the present day. With a detective's attention to detail and a novelist's love of people and their stories, Auslander has written a lucid, passionate work."—Leslie M. Harris, Emory University
"In 1844, a dispute over ownership of an enslaved woman named Catherine Boyd split the American Methodist Church, a fateful step on the road to secession and Civil War. In this beautiful, haunting book, Mark Auslander peels back the layers of history, memory, and myth that have grown up around 'Miss Kitty,' taking us to the heart of our nation's conflicted racial past and present."—James T. Campbell, Edgar E. Robinson Professor in United States History, Stanford University
"Though this is a scholarly work, it offers a fascinating glimpse into a slice of Georgia history that tends to be interpreted very differently by white people and by black people. "—Teresa Weaver, Atlanta Magazine
"You will want to read The Accidental Slaveowner for the rest of the story!"—Bishop Woodie W. White, United Methodist Reporter
"Auslander's work demonstrates how the Andrew/Kitty myth changed over time and the manner in which different versions of the story divided the white and black populations of Oxford, Georgia, where Bishop Andrew served as president of the Emory College Board of Trustees. The ending is particularly poignant and clearly demonstrates the power that involving the public in one's own history can have."—Choice
"[B]y tracing the current descendants of Kitty, the author has made a contribution to African American genealogy, no small undertaking."—Loren Schweninger, Journal of American History

Communications 20/20 will be held July 18-20, 2017 at Caesars Palace,
Las Vegas, Nevada and will focus on the next wave of technology and innovation that will transcend the importance of person to person contact, disrupting the future of the entire communications industry. Communications 20/20 will provide vital knowledge and insight through unique programming, hands on training, live demos, keynotes, exhibits and networking events.
This unique conference will allow for individuals and companies entrenched in the traditional communications ecosystem that want to understand how to adapt and profit from the new software-defined communications trends that will permeate through all industries and enterprises.]]>
Cisco may now be forced to buy 8x8 and Avaya will likely make a move as well. This move could even push Vonage to go after the SMB space. Mitel is an interesting question - they have leading edge tech but a troubled stock to use as currency.
While most every pundit thinks this is bad news, there is a major silver lining to what could eventually be the breakup of the European Union. We don't have time here to go into all my thoughts but the one most germane to technology is opportunities will expand greatly in the wake of the euro splitting into a dozen-plus new (again) currencies.
Pundits worry there will be more friction in transactions across borders if Britain was to leave – they may be right to a degree but where there is friction, there are entrepreneurs looking to lubricate it.
In other words, we are in the world of FinTech now and financial technology will help erase any borders and barriers which were once in the way of preventing trade.
First Data bills itself (no pun intended) as the company simplifying the connections that make commerce possible. They have newly released APIs which will go even further. If you haven't heard of the company, you may be familiar with Clover, their wildly popular PoS system.
To learn more, I conducted an API of the Week interview with Bruce Dragt, SVP, Head of Global eCommerce, First Data. This interview is being done in conjunction with the All About The API conference to be held this July in Las Vegas. We hope to see you there!
What APIs do you have available?
First Data has two core APIs available: the Payeezy API, which is a dynamic eCommerce solution that supports businesses of all sizes with their omnichannel strategies and the Clover API. The Clover API accesses an open platform for brick and mortar commerce with the Clover POS solution suite. With the Clover API, developers can create software applications that are integrated into the Clover device family – Clover Station, Clover Mobile, Clover Mini and Clover Go. These apps are distributed to Clover clients through the Clover App Market – one of the largest B2B app markets currently available with more than 150 apps – to streamline daily operations for business owners.
What are the benefits/ solutions they help provide?
The APIs provide solutions that impact the way consumers shop and pay for goods and also how business owners manage their business.
Some of the benefits that First Data's APIs provide include:
What new business opportunities do they potentially open up for your partners?
Developers who leverage First Data's APIs have the potential to create solutions for the more than six million merchant locations that First Data serves. Many of these businesses represent some of the most well-known brand names that span many different industry verticals. By working with First Data, developers can both benefit from the scale of the largest merchant acquirer in the world as well as get a foot in the door with major brands.
Why should developers/ decision makers choose to be part of your ecosystem?
First Data is unique in that no other provider has the depth and breadth of solutions and global reach that we can provide. At First Data, we combine scale and distribution with innovation. We process 28% of global eCommerce transactions, 79 billion transactions globally and are present in 36 countries. First Data's APIs allow developers to benefit directly from that scale and distribution while circumventing the complexity of a global organization.
What are some of the cooler solutions that have been developed using your APIs?
The Clover App Market provides more than 150 examples of innovative solutions developed using our APIs. Additionally, the Payeezy API has been leveraged by developers as well as both small and large businesses to support in-app and online solutions for our clients.
First Data also uses our APIs to create new solutions for our merchant base. For example, the Clover Online Store used the standard Clover APIs to create a common online experience for business owners. Clover Online Store is an all-in-one integrated solution for SMBs that includes shopping cart functionality, web design and all of the business management features that come with Clover.
Booker, a service commerce solution that supports the ten million SMBs in the service industry, is a good example of a fast-growing company that leveraged our APIs. Booker caters to salons, spas, and other appointment-based businesses, helping business owners manage appointments online and make scheduling easy for staff and customers. Through its development on the Clover API, the solution is fully integrated into First Data's Clover Mini POS terminal, meaning businesses can seamlessly accept payments for the appointments they schedule through the app.
How do you market your APIs?
We market our APIs in a number of ways and have seen great success from participating in Hackathons. For example, we participated in the Money 20/20 Hackathon this past October. In 24 hours, we worked with 24 developer teams as they built 24 apps. We were impressed with the innovation we were able to see in such a short time. Additionally, we promote our APIs on social media and through blogging.
Later this year, we are planning a forum dedicated to our technology partners, where a two-way dialogue will be fostered.
Who is the "customer" for your APIs?
FinTech developers who want to create a B2B solution to help support a business achieve its goals. The solutions that are created from our APIs are for everyone from small business owners just launching their first eCommerce website to large brands looking to offer a more streamlined omnichannel payment experience for their customers. Many of the apps in the Clover App Market have nothing to do with payment, but are key elements of helping a business run better.
Come see the world of APIs at All About The API. Our event will feature a variety of intensive hack-a-thons, in-depth company-focused workshops helping attendees understand the value propositions from key vendors, powerful keynotes, daily and nightly networking opportunities plus an exhibit hall full of companies demonstrating the latest innovations in today's market place. Every business has to pay attention to the new opportunities they are presenting or potentially be displaced. We hope to see you July 18-21 2016 in Las Vegas!
This is the only event where you can network and see keynotes from these thought leaders:
If you don't know them, Aricent has a few different practices from security and IoT/embedded to cloud and software defined everything. I last interviewed Frank in 2015 where he shared with us his vision for the future of technology.
In a recent conversation, he discussed the need in the market for different platforms to ensure maximal take-off rates. Specifically he was discussing wearables for children where size really matters. In response, Aricent teamed with Qualcomm technologies to develop the ADAPT Wearable Platform. The Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear11000 processor is at the heart of the device.
"The Snapdragon Wear 1100 processor supports important features consumers are demanding in their wearable devices such as smaller size, longer battery life, smarter sensing, secure location, and an always connected experience," said Pankaj Kedia, senior director, product management, Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. "We are pleased to be working with Aricent to bring the best of design and technology to connected watches for children and help our customers accelerate these products to consumers quickly."
The Linux-based solution supports a bewildering amount of technologies such as two-way LTE/3G voice and messaging as well as bluetooth and WiFi. Battery life of course depends on what the final product is – as well as overall size.
Of course, as technology gets smaller, it allows new solutions to be built. Things we couldn't actually envision before the form-factors were available. According to Frank, there is now a tsunami of disruption – he mentioned this at Zinnov Confluence 2016. He went on to say the R&D organization must anticipate and transform technology for the future.
He thinks R&D is the key to digital disruption. He went on to say digitally durable companies have intense customer affinity, product development nimbleness, R&D learning loops and long-tail innovation.
While my conversation with Frank centered on this product launch with wireless leader Qualcomm, I believe the greater value he provides to our industry as a whole is his vision for where the future is headed. Aricent supplies much of the technology we use each day but they typically aren't allowed to tell us who they are supplying.
In my experience these "middleware" engineering companies are the true visionaries because they see what everyone is doing and can gauge where things are going far more efficiently than financial analysts, journalist and industry analysts.
If you're interested in learning for yourself – check out this talk below. It's worth a view or two.
In closing, yes, you need to focus on various segments of the market to produce tailored solutions for your audience. In addition you need to focus on making your company as durable as possible as the pace of disruption continues to accelerate. And of course, don't forget - we can 100% agree (see below) with Frank's idea that APIs are now a Business Model!
Come see the world of APIs at All About The API. Our event will feature a variety of intensive hack-a-thons, in-depth company-focused workshops helping attendees understand the value propositions from key vendors, powerful keynotes, daily and nightly networking opportunities plus an exhibit hall full of companies demonstrating the latest innovations in today's market place.

This is the only event where you can network and see keynotes from these thought leaders:
What APIs do you have available?
Our primary APIs are for omni-channel messaging i.e. a single API to send and receive messages across any channel. Our APIs enable not just plain-text messaging, but also "smart" messages, such as polls, surveys and forms. Developers use these APIs to create advanced messaging bots. Developers can program the bots to enable messaging workflows on a bunch of messaging platforms - such as Twitter, Slack, SMS, Email and WeChat.
What are the benefits/ solutions they help provide?
There are many benefits to using this API.
Gupshup API enables a whole range of new capabilities. Chat applications are evolving from P2P communications into full-fledged platforms for businesses. Imagine being able to book a cab, order food or check the score of your favorite sports team through the messaging app of your choice. Messaging Bots can do all of this and more. Similarly, on the enterprise side, imagine being able to do CRM, ERP, HR related activities through messaging bots.
Gupshup APIs reduce the cost and time of bot development. Using Gupshup's simple and powerful REST APIs, Developers can build a bot in minutes using their favorite language.
These examples of using the API just scratch the surface of what is possible with the Gupshup platform.
What new business opportunities do they potentially open up for your partners?
Gupshup APIs enable our partners to seize substantial new opportunities. Enterprise developers can automate business process and deploy instantly within their organizations. Startup developers can launch new startups rapidly. Our reseller partners have a new, innovative solution to take to their end-customers.
Why should developers/ decision makers choose to be part of your ecosystem?
Developers and decision makers should choose to be part of our ecosystem for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the market opportunity is here and now! Gupshup offers the most powerful messaging APIs that enable developers to build advanced bots. Also, the messaging space is highly fragmented with roughly a dozen messengers with over a 100 million users. Our APIs give developers the power to make bots for different messaging apps very easily.
What are some of the cooler solutions that have been developed using your APIs?
Developers have built bots that enable CRM and HR workflows such as sales tracking, leaderboard creation, employee engagement etc. Developers have also built bots to enable e-commerce and other workflows as well.
How do you market your API's?
We attend industry events and conferences across the world. Our latest event (where we had a booth too) was MWC at Barcelona. We also get the word out by hosting developer meetups across the world. We've also gotten coverage in some leading tech publications in the world such as TechCrunch and HuffPo which is always good.
Who is the "customer" for your API's?
Our API 'customer' can be pretty diverse. It can be any developer who wants to extend his service onto a messaging app. Developers who create bots to automate tasks, extend workflows or just provide cat GIFs on command, are welcome to try out our platform.
All About The API will feature a variety of intensive hack‐a‐thons, in‐depth company‐focused workshops helping attendees understand the value propositions from key vendors, powerful keynotes, daily and nightly networking opportunities plus an exhibit hall full of companies demonstrating the latest innovations in today's market place. Every business has to pay attention to the new opportunities they are presenting or potentially be displaced. We hope to see you July 18-21 2016 in Las Vegas!
Why has the capacity limit not been raised? Because the block chain is controlled by Chinese miners, just two of whom control more than 50% of the hash power. At a recent conference over 95% of hashing power was controlled by a handful of guys sitting on a single stage. The miners are not allowing the block chain to grow.
In addition, Zcash will soon be a totally private currency with no way to track how it changes hands. It will be a money launderer's delight - but also great for people who don't really enjoy being part of the big data economy where your life can be investigated simply by monitoring what you buy.
Even more exciting, Dan Schulman, PayPal CEO enthusiastically discussed the huge opportunity in mobile finance from a conference at Davos, Switzerland this morning. Apparently, no one told him to dress up.
Schulman had a very insightful quote about the financial services market worth considering. I believe it applies to almost all industries to be quite honest.
We will see more change in the next five years than the last thirty.Bottom line: ITEXPO will have amazing content and you really have to be there to take advantage of all the amazing opportunities available in the communications and technology world. In some cases this means protecting what you have and in others it means creating new value for your company, investors and shareholders.]]>
I think I may have found out why prices are lower. When I tried to check out on my most recent order, I got a repeated error message. A call to the call center was answered promptly – I made the call after I got nowhere with email. Basically, I received an email response which led me to believe a call was a better option. The call center operator explained all I had to do was delete my credit card number and re-enter it and that should fix the problem. It did.
The .Ugly
A few days later, I was sent a tracking number from FedEx which didn't work when I clicked it. It is tough to see how you can screw up something so easy.
Its .Alpha
Basically – here is the situation… Jet.com is in Alpha. Use it and save some money. But expect startup glitches. The first three months of the service are free then it costs $50 per year. If you Google a bit, you can find a free annual membership.
The company has explained it will only make money on the membership fees - not the products. It will be interesting to see how the company does – if you are Walmart – etc. – you can't allow Jet.com to fail. I expect a lot of retailers working with Jet to ensure they become a viable competitor to the behemoth from Seattle.
Shopping cart abandonment rates are still high, why do you think that is?
The power of cart abandonment emails is the clear buyer intent. When you couple this with new capabilities to entice buyers to convert that purchase through a free shipping offer or a warning that a product is low on inventory, you add that small incentive that brings them back into the purchase funnel.
Every retailer, big or small has some sort of triggered messaging as part of their email marketing mix, and most begin with a welcome series trigger (thanks for signing up!) and a cart abandonment (why did you not buy!?). These are triggered emails purely based on customer activity. They are effective because they are automated, timely and personal - everyone wins. While there is plenty of data showing how effective abandoned cart emails are, it's a mistake to think that these triggers encompass the world of all possible triggered messaging. The reality is that triggers based on customer activity, while effective, represent only a tiny portion of a retailer's potential email marketing mix.
How and why should marketers automate communications based on product catalog changes?
Unlike Customer Triggers which act on data that is a few days old at most, merchandizing triggers requires the ability to process fine-grained customer and product catalog activity at scale that spans a timeframe of months or years.
Marketers have not traditionally implemented merchandising-based triggers because the technology that was necessary to ingest, transform and take action on this type of data has only become affordable in the last year or two. In addition, legacy email systems are horizontal systems that serve many different industries and not just eCommerce. General purpose platforms do not understand the semantics of eCommerce right out of the box. This is the primary reason why Bluecore only works with eCommerce/Brands/Retailers, all of our technology is built specifically to understand the semantics of eCommerce, so that we can launch these advanced triggers in days or weeks, not months.
Across our customers who have implemented merchandising triggers (New Product Arrivals, Price Drops, Low Inventory) these triggers end up representing up to 50% of all email channel revenue. And better yet, these emails are based on product and customer activity that makes everything down to the subject line, extremely relevant to the user. Bluecore partners average an open rate of 41% and an average click-through-rate of 8% - those numbers trounce the industry averages.
How does the term omnichannel figure into abandonment if at all?
Savvy retailers have realized that the value of their email marketing programs cannot solely be measured by conversions. Many customers first open an email on their mobile device while on the go, only to revisit an offer from a laptop later in the day. Or, in the cases of more premium retailers, customers use email marketing content like cart abandonment or new product arrival triggers and a digital shopping list, taking their mobile devices to brick-and-mortar locations to make purchases.
How is commoditization of products influencing cart abandonment?
For commodity products, it becomes much more important to be real-time with cart abandonment. Reaching the customer even 24 hours might be too late, as they might have made that purchase elsewhere.
What about shipping costs?
Free shipping is a great incentive retailers can offer customers to drive return engagement with their online storefronts.
What are your thoughts about services like ShopRunner – effectively Amazon Prime for a group of retailers?
Services like ShopRunner are great for consumers, especially if services like that can aggregate customer behavior across groups of retailers to better personalize marketing to their customers.
How can retailers turn the high abandonment rate trend around?
Two key components here are personalization and timing. First, deliver a message that not only takes into account the exact products that were browsed for, searched for or placed in a cart, but also includes related products based on past purchases or top sellers in that same category. Second, time is of the essence. If you have a compelling message, or better yet offer (FREE SHIPPING), trigger that email just hours after abandonment. Waiting days just provides customers more opportunity to either lose interest or purchase elsewhere.
Can you give us some real-world examples?
Diamond Candles averages a 40% unique open rate across all triggered emails. All six triggers currently deployed are personalized based on customer browse, search and purchase behaviors and optimized for time based on retailer preference to drive high open and conversion rates. Diamond Candles' Abandoned Cart trigger shows a conversion rate of more than 22% and, when taking into account all six triggers across the program they average a 13% conversion rate. Typical conversion rates for non-personalized, high-volume promotional email sends is 2-5%.
Fayez Mohamood (LinkedIn, Twitter) is cofounder and CEO of Bluecore, enabling eCommerce marketers to create and distribute personalized triggered emails with the speed and precision not previously possible, dynamically reacting to customer behaviors and cataloging changes in seconds. With more than 70 partners representing more than 100 consumer brands. Bluecore is one of New York City's fastest growing startups, recently closing a Series A round led by FirstMark Capital.]]>
In a conversation with Manual Hernandez and Eeric Krause, they told me their go-to-market strategy is different than most companies. They are a contract manufacturer and subsequently handle the export, import and distribution. They emphasized they have no middleman which means you don't see the product marked up few times.
Moreover, the company wants the corporate world to know they have been serving this market for almost four years and they are disruptive when competing against companies like Belkin. They have 47 bulk cable SKUs in fact. At Interop 2015 they showed off their bootless line of patch cables of the CAT5e and 6 variety.
What I thought might be most interesting however to users of the latest laptops on the market is their line of USB-C cables from $10-$35. It's worth noting the cables all have a lifetime warranty and the company isn't shy in telling you they also carry routers, switches and patch panels.
Getting back to USB-C… Monoprice will charge you $12.99 for a 6-foot USB-C male to male connector while Apple will charge you $29. The price savings is similar across the board.
The pair also told me their new USB-C cables work with Chromebooks as well as Apple products as opposed to Apple USB-C cables which only work with Apple products. I couldn't verify this claim independently and Apple did not immediately respond to a request on the matter. If they do, I will update this post - assuming of course I don't die of shock.
Bottom line: Monoprice wants to be a household brand – known for providing superior quality at low prices. Not unlike what Honda was once and perhaps is still known for.
The biggest challenge for the company of course might be Amazon – but the online retailer does also sell their products making them frenemies. In reality though, many of us have been burned by low-priced cables and other products when shopping online. I have thrown out all my low-cost Lightning cables I purchased on the online retailer. If Monoproce can continue to establish itself as a high-quality, low-cost provider it likely has a bright future.]]>
This is part of the reason their head of retail was lured away some years back to turn J.C. Penney around. This failed spectacularly. The question is, can Apple's magic be applied elsewhere?
Next up, Restoration Hardware or RH. Penney is a low-budget retailer where low prices and frequent sales dictate the company's survival. The changes which were made included eliminating sale prices and improving the brand quality and price of the in-store merchandise. Shoppers didn't adapt to spending more and new, premium customers, not surprisingly, never materialized. RH on the other hand is a premium brand.
"The heart is ten-thousand times more powerful than the mind," says company's Chairman & CEO, Gary Friedman. He believes his brand will be the Apple of their market – they are looking to make an emotional connection with consumers, not just intellectual. He suggests in a video that the irrational desire for consumers to stand in line to get a phone when they an order it online is what they are looking to emulate.
The company's new galleries in Los Angeles and Atlanta seem to be big hits. These new sites blur residential and retail, indoors and outdoors. Physical and digital.
He says guests say they want to live in these new store experiences.
These inspired spaces with garden courtyards and rooftop parks; with reflecting pools, trickling fountains and fireplaces are the company's insurance against online competition he implies.
In my opinion, we are seeing Starbucks meets Apple.
This could be retail's best hope to take on the web.
If it is, we can thank Apple for transforming retail once again and in a weird way, helping bricks and mortar compete more effectively with one of Cupertino's big rivals – Amazon.]]>

So far this year we've caught two Michigan helmet changes mid season. First, the traditional look being switched over to the new Warrior TII helmets and then the unveiling of the maize TII practice helmets. After winning three straight National Championships, to the victors goes the spoils as the MCLA's cream of the crop gives Game Day Gear a look at what a Wolverine is outfitted with.
Not that some of you already didn't know, but one thing fascinating about Michigan's gear, besides the shear quantity for a virtual varsity program, is the amount of detail that goes into all of it. The ability to take a motto (Those Who Stay Will Be CHAMPIONS) and then incorporate it into a mindset during practices and conditioning has helped lift this program to the level it's been on over the past four seasons. Not a surprise to anyone, but the Wolverines were recently seeded #1 in the MCLA Tournament which will take place May 17-21 in Denver, Colorado. The added expectations over the years that this program has set for itself has helped to provide opportunities and rewards ie. everything below.
A big thank you to Joe Hennessy for helping to gather all the gear and photos to display all of U of M's gear and such. Best of luck in the tournament and with the challenges of taking the program to the next level.
If you think your team's gear is worthy of a Gear Zone Game Day Gear post head to the brand new Game Day Gear Forum and upload your team's gear photos. If it's good enough the GZ will put it up on the homepage for all the world to see.
Check back with IL throughout the week for Game Day Gear coverage on other teams from around the Country. Below, take a look at the 2011 Michigan Wolverines kits. LAAAX!

Hyper-Valve Installation
1. Remove the current exhaust pressure line to the fuel cell.
2. Follow diagram below for proper installation of the HYPER-valve system.
3. An arrow is cut into the protective coating to indicate the direction of flow. (This must be installed in the proper direction or engine will not run properly)
* This system will boost and hold the fuel cell pressure at a higher than normal pressure.
* After the HYPER-Valve System is installed, the engine will require tuning to compensate for the increased fuel flow and pressure.

As far as I know this isn't currently possible (that is, apart from
X-Y port ranges), not with the webGUI at least (it is probably
possibly to do with the right cmd. line, but I wouldn't know?)
There have been a few requests (including one of my own) for some kind
of "port alias" list, much like the current IP/Network aliases, but
for ports. The idea being that you could add named ports and ranges to
such a list, and then have them appear in the "To" and "From" port
dropdowns in apropriate places.
I don't know if this is something that is being considered for
implementation, but if it is, I guess it would be nice if such a
feature allowed for such "complex" port ranges (ie. a comma seperated
list of ports and/or ranges).
If the underlying programs (ie. ipfw and dummynet etc.) actually has
support for such "complex" port ranges, it might even lower the number
of actual (generated) rules for these, which might make things a bit
faster for some configurations? (And if not, at least it won't make
things slower, since the generated rules should ammount to the same
set of rules as what you would currently have to do by hand.)

Horseback riding is a great way to see the countryside or to escape from your evil cousin's palace. You're a free princess with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $39 for a 90-minute scenic horseback trail ride for one (an $89 value)
- $49 for a 90-minute sunset horseback trail ride for one (a $99 value)
- $229 for a three-hour pony and pool party (a $465 value)
Veteran trail guides lead riders along a scenic mountain trail during the day or dusk. Breaks through the tree line reveal glimpses of Kaneohe Bay, the north shore, and other portions of Oahu's shoreline. Riders often encounter wild pigs, cattle, and unbridled horses along the way. Customers also have the option to upgrade their trail ride for an additional fee, see here for a list of upgrade options.
For parties, kids divide their time between several activities, including a one-hour horse rental for rides, one hour of an aboveground-pool rental, and two hours of a playground and pavilion rental. Although the number of guests at the party is not limited, additional fees are required for adding on an extra horse for rides, having more than 15 riders, a campfire, a petting-zoo visit, or a hike.
Gunstock Ranch
The Gunstock Ranch has been a part of Greg Smith's family since 1973. Born and raised in Kailua, Greg grew up helping his father on the ranch, and today, he helps his five children with rodeo practice and 4-H studies. The local rancher leads a staff of experienced wranglers who share intimate knowledge of the land on a variety of scenic trail rides through the 650-acre property. Visitors explore winding paths through the Koolau Mountain Range like traditional paniolos, Hawaiian cowboys, and catch stunning views of Oahu and the ocean in the bright light of day or the warm glow of the setting sun.
Expanding beyond equine excursions and care, Greg's wife, Kyndra, brought swimming lessons and aquatics to the ranch as a way to help children in the community and disprove the myth that you can bring a horse to water, but can't make it swim the breaststroke. The ranch's gentle horses and aboveground pool also make the Gunstock Ranch an all-encompassing destination for children's parties and special events.

MSNBC's Ronan Farrow Slammed as 'Third Rate...Child Anchor,' The 'Nadir of TV Gravitas'
USA Today media columnist Michael Wolff throws dirt on the sinking fortunes of CNN in Monday's paper, denouncing the cable-news audience along the way: it's "overly fixated, if not fetishistic."
Wolff then unloads on MSNBC host Ronan Farrow as the "nadir of television gravitas, the "child anchor...mimicking the adults." Ouch:
The nadir of television gravitas may be Ronan Farrow on MSNBC. He's a third-rate movie plot: The child anchor, self-serious and mimicking the adults, finding himself, through happenstance and cynical television logic, embarrassingly on the air.
And then there is Piers Morgan, whose show went off the air in March. His painful discomfort with the role, and yet sweaty and desperate determination to play the part, should give anybody pause about thinking they might survive in the chair. Nobody survives, not intact.
A corollary to this is that nobody wants to go on television to be interviewed anymore - and television news is an interview medium. In part, this is because anybody large enough for an interview understands he or she will be reduced by the low stature of the people interviewing them. It's the cable curse.
Wolff thinks everyone in cable wants to ape celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain and his CNN show.
The Bourdain show has been a hit on CNN, and respite from the lost plane, but in order for it to make money for CNN, it has to be repeated many times, ideally, endlessly. CNN, in other words, has to become the Discovery Channel — and it is clearly trying to.
But what about the news? What about reasonable and intelligent voices? A strong and engaging narrator? A conversation lightening rod for the rest of us?
And, more specifically, what about the 9:00 p.m. hour?
As I say, this desire to restore CNN to some aspect of what it really never was and what, anyway, it is not going to be again — an assertive and authentic news source — continues against all logic. But here is my suggestion.
Jeremy Paxman is the most famous broadcaster in Britain, a legendary interviewer and indomitable figure and, after many years, he has just, restlessly, left his job as the host of the BBC show Newsnight after 25 years. Yes, yes, there are the obvious dangers, after Morgan, of another English accent on CNN. A bad fumble, Piers.
But Paxman is the real thing. What news needs, what it cannot coherently exist without, is authority. Two generations of cable news have pretty much wiped that out in America. So it probably has to be imported. With Paxman its withering authority. With vast superiority and haughtiness, which, of course, television executives undoubtedly believe will turn off an uncomprehending American audience.
By the way, Piers Morgan now hates Paxman, since Paxman told people that Piers Morgan taught him about hacking into phones.

Activity note: Moab is ideally situated next to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. A number of theories about how Moab got its name float around local book stores and coffee shops. The most accepted explanation is that in the Bible, the name Moab occurs frequently referring to a dry, mountainous area east of the Dead Sea and southeast of Jerusalem. This explanation seems to fit in both its geographical relationship to Salt Lake City (and the Great Salt lake) and the geologic characteristics of the area.
Dinner: We will travel to a local restaurant to enjoy a delicious meal and continue getting to know one-another.
Evening: After dinner, we will wrap up our orientation back at the hotel with a short lecture on nature photography. Get some rest afterwards, we start before dawn tomorrow!
Activity note: Our daily schedule for today and the next two days consist of a pre-dawn breakfast followed by travel to our early morning light photo location. We photograph one to three locations until lunch time when we return to Moab for our main meal of the day at local restaurants. Following lunch there is time for individual consultations with our instructor, free time to sort photos, or a quick rest. We depart mid-afternoon for our evening, sunset photo site. Evening meal is a box lunch in the field.
Breakfast: Each morning we have a full order off the menu breakfast at the "Moab Diner", a Moab favorite. There's no doubt you'll walk away satisfied with extensive menu choices and prompt, friendly service. The Diner opens early for us to facilitate our early morning photo excursions.
Morning: We depart from the Moab Diner to Arches National Park. Our early morning light stop is at LaSal Mountains and Courthouse Towers Overlook. We will remain until well after dawn experiencing the amazing light and then travel to Devil's Playground. We will walk the 1.2 mile trail to Landscape Arch with many photo opportunities along the trail. All daily schedules are subject to change due to unforeseen factors such as weather, interests of the group, etc. Arches National Park is a landscape of contrasting colors, landforms and textures unlike any other in the world. The Park has over 2,000 natural stone arches, in addition to hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive fins and giant balanced rocks.
Lunch: Lunch today is on your own to enjoy restaurants and shopping or browsing the downtown of Moab. Some participants choose this time to review their photos.
Afternoon: Midday rest after lunch with opportunities for individual appointments with our instructor. Mid afternoon we depart for the Colorado River Canyon north of Moab. We travel a Utah Scenic Byway with stops to photograph and view the LaSal Mountains, the bends of the river and dramatic canyon walls, and finally our sunset destination, the dramatic Fisher Towers. The Fisher Towers are one of the most outstanding scenic features of Utah's Colorado Riverway. These rock pinnacles soar above a maze of red and purple hued canyons. We eat our box dinner in the field to allow for continued photography until dark when we return to Moab.
Dinner: A local market prepares our fresh box meals each day so that we can enjoy them in the scenic outdoors. The lunch will include your choice of sandwich, fruit, chips, cookie, and water.
Activity note: Dead Horse Point State Park provides a beautiful mesa where you can look for miles into Canyonlands National Park or 2,000 feet down to the Colorado River. There are a few short hikes around the edge of the mesa with stunning views into the deep canyons.
Breakfast: Breakfast at the Moab Diner
Morning: We depart from the Moab Diner and travel to Deadhorse Point State Park for our early morning photo location. The dramatic landscape of the canyon walls become illuminated as the early morning sunbeams work their patterns down to the Colorado River 2,000 feet below. The Road Scholar website has featured photos from this program and past participants! Before the turn of the 19th century, mustang herds ran wild on the mesas near Dead Horse Point. The unique promontory provided a natural corral into which the horses were driven by cowboys. The only escape was through a narrow, 30-yard neck of land controlled by fencing. Mustangs were then roped and broken, with the better ones being kept for personal use or sold to eastern markets. Unwanted culls of "broomtails" were left behind to find their way off the Point. According to one legend, a band of broomtails was left corralled on the Point. The gate was supposedly left open so the horses could return to the open range. For some unknown reason, the mustangs remained on the Point. There they died of thirst within sight of the Colorado River below.
Lunch: Prior to our return to Moab, we stop along the Colorado River to look at ancient petroglyphs and a view of the distinctive Jug Handle Arch. Prepare your taste buds for the full dining experience, we plan our midday meals at different locally owned restaurants to give you a nice variety and plenty of choices.
Afternoon: Midday rest after lunch with opportunities for individual appointments with our instructor. Mid-afternoon we depart Moab and after a beautiful and dramatic drive through the entrance of Arches National Park, we have a one-way photography hike on the "Park Avenue" Trail. (1 mi) This dramatic hike is a participant favorite as it winds through 1,000 feet towers of red sandstone. Vans pick us up at the lower trailhead. We stop next at our sunset location, a picnic area with a view of Balanced Rock and the background rugged red rocks and distant LaSal mountains in the background. We eat our box dinner in the field to allow for continued photography until dark when we return to Moab.
Dinner: A local market prepares our fresh box meals each day so that we can enjoy them in the scenic outdoors. The lunch will include your choice of sandwich, fruit, chips, cookie, and water.
Activity note: Canyonlands National Park encompasses a wilderness of countless canyons and fantastically formed buttes carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The Rivers divide the park into districts: Needles, Island in the Sky, and the Maze. These areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, but each offers different photo opportunities. The Island in the Sky District is so named because of sheer canyon cliffs that surround a plateau that dominates the sky rising out of the surrounding high desert.
Breakfast: Breakfast at the Moab Diner
Morning: We leave from the Moab Diner and drive one hour to the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park. Our early morning destination is the iconic Mesa Arch, a famous stop amongst the leading photographers of the world. With it's sunrise glow and framing of the peaks beyond, it captures the essence of this region. A trip to Island in the Sky would not be complete without the short hike 1/2 mile round trip short hike to the amazing Mesa Arch. We next travel to Green River Overlook for a glimpse into the canyon of the Green, on it's way to the confluence with the Colorado River. we will be treated to an expansive view of the Canyon and you will be able to see all the way across to the Needle's District where we will photograph tomorrow. We return to Moab by noon.
Lunch: Lunch today is on your own to enjoy restaurants and shopping or browsing the downtown of Moab. Some participants choose this time to review their photos.
Afternoon: Midday rest after lunch with opportunities for individual appointments with our instructor. Mid-afternoon we depart Moab for our third visit to Arches National Park. Two options are offered for our afternoon photo opportunities. Participants may choose either option based upon their ability for hiking and also ability to carry photo gear for the distance of the hike. The first option is to the base of Delicate Arch (Utah's official symbol), a roundtrip hike of 3 miles with an elevation gain and loss of 800 feet hiking over the rock sandstone surface. For those who choose the second option, a viewpoint that observes Delicate Arch from below will be visited followed by a short 1/2 mile roundtrip walk for sunset to Skyline Arch. The group that travels to Delicate Arch will eat their box lunch on the trail, while the Skyline Arch group will eat their box lunch in a picnic area. Both groups will return to Moab after sunset.
Dinner: A local market prepares our fresh box meals each day so that we can enjoy them in the scenic outdoors. The lunch will include your choice of sandwich, fruit, chips, cookie, and water.
Activity note: The Needles District forms the southeast corner of Canyonlands National Park and was named for the colorful spires of Cedar Mesa Sandstone that dominate the area. The views back to Island in the Sky dominate the views to the North and give meaning to the cryptic name.
Breakfast: Breakfast at the Moab Diner
Morning: We depart the Moab Diner this morning for a 1 hour drive south of Moab along the Spanish Valley to our destination in Canyonlands National Park, the Needles District. Turning west we enter Indian Creek and after passing several ranches, enter the National Park. Our first photo stop is at a view of "Six Shooter Peaks" and then we visit the Visitor's Center. We then drive through the Park landscape stopping to photograph Wooden Shoe Arch, and then our third stop of view of the "Needles" themselves. We finish the morning at a scenic picnic area for lunch surrounded by the "Slickrock" formations.
Lunch: A local market prepares our fresh box lunches each day so that we can enjoy them in the scenic outdoors. Lunch will include your choice of sandwich, fruit, chips, dessert, and water.
Afternoon: We drive after lunch to a short trail and walk that ends at an ancestral puebloan granary. This ancient repository was built nearly 800 years ago by tribes that raised corn and stored it for future use in the granary. We then travel back along Indian Creek Highway leaving the National Park but surrounded by massive cliffs that are a world-class destination for rock climbers. We will try to catch a glimpse of these athletes high on the massive cliffs. Do you know the difference between a pictograph and a petroglyph? We will stop at Newspaper Rock State Park on the drive back to Moab to view and photograph one of the best examples of petroglyphs in the area. We return to Moab in late afternoon.
Dinner: Tonight we have a special closing dinner with a "million dollar view" at the Sunset Grill. The Sunset Grill is in the former home of Uranium King Charlie Steen. In the early 1950's Moab was a small farming community. Arches and Canyonlands were places only a lucky few experienced. In 1952, Charles A. Steen, geologist and prospector, put Moab on the world map. Y

Santa Clara County Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)
Since 1973 CSW has acted in an advisory capacity to the Board of Supervisors to study and investigate conditions which demonstrate discrimination or prejudice because of sex and gender. CSW has been active in keeping women's issues in the forefront of the public's attention and has worked diligently to advocate for equality and opportunity for women and girls in Santa Clara County. Forty-one years since its inception and there is much work to be done, but also much to celebrate. Each year we commemorate the 19th amendment and women's right to vote at our Women's Equality Day lunch.
