1995 to 1996 children with DIABETES launched in June 1995 with the goals of helping Marissa Hitchcock meet other kids who had diabetes and of sharing the experiences of her parents, Jeff and Brenda.
The earliest recorded "What's New" page, which summarized what was added to the site in the previous week, was published on July 23, 1995. The "What's New" has been published and sent as an email every Sunday since.
In its first weeks and months, CWD consisted of Marissa's story, information and advice from Jeff and Brenda Hitchcock, listings of local ADA and JDRF chapters, reviews of books and products, some diabetes information, and links to other diabetes web sites. The total site had perhaps 100 web pages.
In the fall of 1995, the Ask the Diabetes Team section was added in response to Jeff Hitchcock receiving emails asking him for medical advice. As of March 2007, the "Diabetes Team" has answered over 30,000 questions, and 18,500 of those answers are online. The "Ask the Diabetes Team" section of CWD is a unique and unrivaled medical information resource.
The chat rooms were added in the fall of 1996 and quickly grew to one of the largest traffic area of the site.
The CWD home page from sometime in 1996, based on the copyright notice. 1997 to 1998 In 1997, CWD was redesigned with a cleaner look. The new logo appear for the first time. Interior pages included the top and bottom navigation tools that remain today. With a majority of CWD visitors using dial up modems, graphics were kept to a minimum. The home page was still just links to interior pages.
Complete records of web site traffic data were made available beginning in January 1998 (since removed due to space constraints). That month shows a staggering increase in traffic to the web site, which coincided with the transfer of the CWD web site from it's old address -- www.castleweb.com/diabetes -- to the CWD domain -- www.childrenwithdiabetes.com -- and to a new, much more powerful server. Several hardware upgrades over the years have been needed to meet the traffic demands of CWD.
Beginning in January 1998, CWD added advertisements to each page as a way to help pay for the cost of delivering the web site. We had asked readers in late 1997 for their thoughts on advertising, which was becoming common on other web sites. Most indicated that the presence of advertising would not change their use of CWD. Given the significant cost of delivering the web site (paying for computer hardware and the growing Internet connection), advertising was essential. A previous "pledge drive" to raise money from visitors did not succeed.
Since the privacy of our visitors is and always will be of paramount importance, we built our own advertising server, which remains in use today. Ads are delivered anonymously, without tracking who has seen what. This maintains our goals of free and anonymous access to all CWD content.
The first poll was run from October 11 to 18, 1998, asking readers about the blood glucose meter that they use. A new poll has run each week since, with some polls repeating over the years to get a sense for the changes in diabetes care.
Late in 1998, the home page changed to include information instead of just links to interior pages. Headlines listed the week's top stories and links, the current Poll appeared on the top right, the most recently published question for the Diabetes Team was listed, and a featured child with diabetes appeared on the page.
By the end of 1998, CWD had moved from a simple web site consisting of plain HTML web pages to a complex web site that required advanced server-side processing to generate each web page in real time as it was requested. The web site required a sophisticated database to store its advertisements and ensure correct delivery, and it required a powerful server computer to run it. Network connectivity was now through a dedicated T1 circuit.
In 1997 and 1998, Jeff Hitchcock attended the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association and began to write up reports from the sessions and exhibit hall.
The CWD home page from July 18, 1998.
The CWD home page as it looked in late 1998. This snapshot is from May 9, 1999. 1999 to 2000 By mid-to-late 1999, running Children with Diabetes as a part-time, after-work venture was taking its toll. Keeping the site running required almost every spare moment during weekday evenings and weekends.
In the fall of 1999, Jeff Hitchcock attended a family diabetes retreat in southern California. While there, he had a discussion about creating a new company to take over CWD and expand it to include many more features and services. At this time, investment in the Internet was still roaring, and health care sites were of particular interest. This idea seemed to be a great solution to the problem of building a framework that could sustain CWD. In April 2000, the new company, Diabetes123.com, Inc., was launched. (Diabetes123 was a mirror of CWD content, but with an age-neutral web site address.) Launching in April 2000 proved to be quite a challenge, as this was the month that the Internet investment bubble burst. Surviving was an enormous challenge.
The web site changed just a little during this time, sporting a cleaner look. Traffic continued to grow as more people discovered the site. We also began shipping more and more of the CWD brochures and URL cards to families and health care professionals around the world. To date, we've shipped over 300,000 to people in about 75 countries. Many families are given one of these in the information packet they receive when their child is first diagnosed.
Most notable in 2000 was our first conference, held in Orlando, Florida. What began as an email by Laura Billetdeaux to the parents mailing list ("anyone want to meet in Orlando for a vacation?") became 110 families getting together for several days of fun and comraderie. From Laura's email, CWD's conferences have grown to become the most amazing educational and support experience for families who have kids with diabetes.
The CWD home page from February 19, 2000. 2001 to 2005 By 2001, CWD's home page had taken on the look it has today, which includes an advertisement for a major sponsor on the top right, a link to login to cwdMail, a spam-protected, free email service (retired), and most recently, a featured quilt square from the Quilt for Life.
The Quilt for Life was launched in spring 2002, with the goal of raising awareness about diabetes. It was first shown at the Friends for Life: Pasadena 2002 summer conference. The Quilt was shown at the 2005 Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association, held in San Diego, California.
In October 2002, CWD launched cwdMail, which offered a free email account with rigorous anti-spam protection. With the advent of GMail and other free email services, cwdMail was retired.
Web site traffic continued to grow over this period, with March 2004 being the current high point -- 9.4 million hits, 1.8 million page views, and almost 15,000 visitors per day to the web site. Since launch, CWD has delivered over 100 million pages.
The Family Support Network, launched in January 2005, will help families find others nearby -- for babysitting, helping with kids off at college, or just getting together.
In late 2004, CWD began selling its Insulin is Not a Cure bracelets to raise money for its IDYA activities. The sales exceeded all expectations, with the first 10,000 selling out in six weeks. From that initial sale, CWD was able to donate $50,000 to diabetes charities through July 1, 2005. (CWD no longer sells bracelets.)
CWD conferences also grew enormously during this period. Led by CWD events coordinator Laura Billetdeaux, CWD now holds four events each year: the annual Friends for Life conference in July, two smaller regional conferences (one in the spring and one in the fall), and a vacation in the late winter or early spring. These events bring together families from across the United States and many other countries with some of the very best health care professionals in diabetes care, along with generous corporate sponsors. These events are powerfully moving experiences for everyone who attends. The Friends for Life: 2005 conference at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort had record attendance of 2,200 people.
In 2005, CWD ...
- Delivered 22.6 million pages
- Hosted 4.9 million user sessions
- Had visitors from 149 countries
- Published 1,133 answers to questions submitted to our Diabetes Team, bringing the total number of questions and answers online to 16,162 as of January 1, 2006
- Added over 1,850 families to the new Family Support Network
The CWD home page from July 24, 2005. 2006 In 2006, CWD has continued to grow to help our families and their children live as well as possible with diabetes. Traffic has surged, with each month in 2006 bringing new records for page views and user sessions compared with the year before.
On June 8, 2006, the CWD Quilt for Life was shown on the national mall in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with the American Diabetes Association Call to Congress and Scientific Sessions. Families from around the country visited to have their picture taken beside their quilt.
In March 2006, CWD held a Focus on Pumping conference near Philadelphia. This was the first CWD conference to sell out. With 400 people in attendance, space was tight but the program was a great success. One family even flew in from France to learn about pump therapy and about how to run a conference.
The first Teen Adventure was held in May 2006 -- a biking adventure weekend in Boulder, Colorado. A group of teens from across the country spent a weekend outdoors in the beautiful Boulder weather and learned a lot about exercise, teamwork, and not letting diabetes get in the way of living life to the fullest.
The annual Friends for Life: Orlando 2006 conference was the best yet, and included an amazing group of special guests and an incredible faculty. About 2,000 people participated. Special awards were given to Dean Kamen and Al Mann for their pioneering work in making insulin pump therapy a reality.
In September 2006, we launched the CWD Welcome Kit, which includes a blank quilt square (to make a panel for the Quilt for Life), a DVD about kids living with diabetes, information about glucose monitoring and pumps, all in a nice backpack. The CWD Welcome Kit is no longer available.
The CWD home page from September 25, 2006. 2007 2007 began with the Focus on Best Practices conference in Marco Island, Florida. Sixty families from all over the U.S. gathered for several days of educational sessions, kids activities, support, and plenty of outdoor exercise. The event was spectacular, and we're planning on returning every January.
In February 2007, families from around the US, Scotland, Spain, and Italy met in New York for the CWD New York Family Adventure Weekend. We had a wonderful time in the city, though it was definitely chilly.
In March 2007, Jeff Hitchcock, Dr. Bruce Buckingham, Natalie Bellini, and Paul Madden, all members of the Children with Diabetes conference faculty, traveled to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to participate in the 2007 Arab Children Health Congress. This was a chance to share the CWD experience, in a small way, with families and clinicians in the Middle East. The trip was an amazing experience.
CWD's 24th event, the Focus on Pumping: La Jolla 2007 was held in La Jolla, Californina in April. With 250 people, the regional conference was again a great success. Families learned from diabetes experts from around the US and had a chance to socialize in the delightful San Diego weather -- though it did get a little cold on the last day.
In July 2007, over 2,500 people attended Friends for Life: Orlando 2007, CWD's 7th annual conference and 25th event. We had the largest attendance, most first timers, largest exhibit hall, most concurrent sessions -- and hottest weather! Thankfully the sessions are indoors in the air conditioning. We also hosted a group of 55 people from the United Arab Emirates, including famlies and health care professionals.
CWD's first conference outside the United States was held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in August 2007. Hundreds of people from both Canada and the United States attended this regional conference. The feedback was so positive that we've scheduled another conference for Toronto in March 2009.
CWD's 27th event was Focus on Pumping: Minneapolis 2007 held in October 2007. Families from the midwest enjoyed unseasonably warm weather and learned about pump therapy. Animas Corporation surprised everyone by launching their pink insulin pump at the event.
The CWD home page from November 4, 2007. 2008 2008 began with our second Focus on Best Practices conference in Marco Island, Florida. About 100 families gathered for several days of educational sessions, kids activities, support, and plenty of outdoor exercise. Families came from as far as California and Maine in the U.S., and also from Chile and Egypt! While the weather was a bit chilly, the conference was a great success.
In February 2008, families met in Seattle for the Focus on Pumping conference -- our 29th event. The conference was sold out and included families from throughout the Pacific northwest, as well as a large contingent from Canada.
On March 28, 2008, Children with Diabetes, Inc., which includes www.childrenwithdiabetes.com, the Quilt for Life and the Friends for Life conferences, joined the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies as part of the Diabetes Franchise. Please see the letter to the CWD community, the CWD Statement of Principles, and watch video messages from our community members.
In July 2008, over 3,000 people attended Friends for Life: Orlando 2008, CWD's 8th annual conference and 30th event. We had the largest attendance, most first timers, most focus groups, and most concurrent sessions. We had a couple firsts -- the first scientific poster session, as part of Friday's Dessert with the Faculty, and first continuous sensor trials offered by a corporate partner.
The Quilt for Life was shown in Washington, DC in August 2008. A large group of CWD volunteers joined in the set up and sharing of the Quilt on the National Mall.
Plans were made to hold CWD's first Friends for Life UK conference to meet the needs of families living in the UK and Europe.
The CWD home page from December 3, 2008. 2009 2009 began with our third Focus on Best Practices conference in Marco Island, Florida. About 230 people returned to the Marriott Marco Island Resort for several days of educational sessions, kids activities, support, and plenty of outdoor exercise. The weather was wondeful, just like the first Marco Island conference.
In March 2009, CWD returned to Canada for our second Focus on Pumping conference in Toronto. Keynote speaker Dr. Bruce Perkins, himself a pumper, gave a wonderful presentation about "Why We Pump." The sold out conference was a great success.
Late April found CWD back in Chicago for a Focus on Technology conference -- another sold out event. The 350 parents, kids, grandparents, and diabetes educators learns about the latest diabetes care technology, including insulin pumps and continuous sensors, as well as work underway to combine these tools into an artificial pancreas -- the "closed loop" system.
In June, CWD exhibited its new booth at the 2009 Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association. The new booth was four times the size of our old 10x10 space and gave us a chance to share 20 panels from the Quilt for Life, run two slide shows of photos from our conferences, and have two interactive, online computers, allowing us to show the web site in real time.
Over 3,200 people came to Friends for Life: Orlando 2009, making it our largest event ever. About 1,000 people were first timers. Families could try out insulin pumps and continuous sensors and kids could get their eyes screened using the latest technology. Sessions included closing the loop, the status of biological cures, getting the most out of pumps and sensors, coping with the emotional challenges of diabetes. We also held dedicated tracks for grandparents and young adults with type 1 diabetes.
CWD's first conference outside of North America was held near London in August 2009 -- Friends for Life: UK 2009. 500 people from throughout the UK, with a good sized group from the US, shared an incredibly magical weekend. Sessions covered everything from best practices and managing diabetes in school in the UK to the psychological and emotional aspects of our lives. With the first UK event a success, we're planning our next event for 2010.
In September 2009, Marissa passed the state nursing exam, becoming Marissa Hitchcock, BSN, RN.
The CWD home page from September 2, 2009. 2010 2010 began with a return to Marco Island, but with a new theme -- a Family Support Weekend. With a strong team of psychologists and a family therapist, we helped families understand the challenges of living well with diabetes and offered strategies to help everyone do their best. The weather was good for the first couple days, then cooled down a bit -- but it was still nicer than the chill and snow in much of the country.
In February 2010, CWD returned to Texas for a Focus on Technology conference in Houston. While most families were local, we did have one intrepid family who came from Alaska. Most families were new to CWD, and many were new to diabetes.
In late June, we returned to Orlando for out annual International Friends for Life conference, this time at a new venue -- the Marriott World Center. We'd outgrown the Renaissance Orlando and needed a new space for even years (Disney is odd years). Well over 3,000 people attended, including over 800 first timers. Jay Hewitt opened the conference with an uplifting and inspiring presentation, and Will Cross closed with another uplifting and inspiring presentation.
Just a couple weeks after FFL, CWD headed to Vancouver for our first Friends for Life Canada conference. Over 500 people came from across Canada -- even from as far away as Newfoundland and Nova Scotia -- to learn about the latest in diabetes research, technology, and care.
Over Labor Day Weekend, CWD visited Charlotte, North Carolina for a Focus on Technology conference, updating families on the latest in insulin pumps and continuous sensors, as well as how to live well with these devices. While the kids enjoyed learning about the new tools, they really enjoyed the larger than life sized poster of Nick Jonas, which sat beside the always-busy table of Bayer HealthCare Diabetes Care.
Halloween weekend found CWD outside London for CWD's Friends for Life UK, our second UK event. With crisp, autumn air outside, we stayed mostly inside -- except the teens, who ventured to a nearby amusement park for their off site in the rain. They loved it anyway. And Saturday evening saw the Beaumont House transformed into a Halloween party, complete with exceptional makeup and costumes.
The CWD home page from March 11, 2010. 2011 2011 began with a return to Marco Island, repeating our Family Support Weekend. With a strong team of psychologists and a family therapist, we once again helped families understand the challenges of living well with diabetes and offered strategies to help everyone do their best. The weather was nice -- mid-70s and mostly sunny. Much better than the blizzards across much of the country.
In March 2011, CWD hosted its Focus on Technology conference in Cincinnati. In spite of freezing temperatures and a dusting of snow, a near sell out crowd had a great weekend learning about the latest in diabetes technology and sharing the CWD experience. Half of conference participants were new to CWD.
We returned to Orlando for out annual International Friends for Life conference, once again at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. Highlights included banquet entertainment by Crystal Bowersox, recognition of Joe Solowiejczyk's 50th year of living with type 1 diabetes, and over 3,000 people in attendance. Dr. Richard Rubin and CWD dad Oliver Double from the UK opened the conference with an uplifting and entertaining presentation, and Iron Man Triathlete Jay Hewitt closed with an uplifting and inspiring presentation.
Just a couple weeks after FFL, CWD headed to Toronto for our second Friends for Life Canada conference. About 350 people came from across Canada to learn about the latest in diabetes research, technology, and care. More than half were new to CWD. As usual, the teens headed off site and had a great time.
Halloween weekend once again found CWD outside London for CWD's Friends for Life UK, our third UK event. Beaumont House was at capacity, so much so that we had to run meals in two shifts. Joe Solowiejczyk was surprised by a crowd wearing "I (heart) Joe Solo" T-shirts! Saturday evening saw the Beaumont House transformed into a Halloween party, complete with exceptional makeup and costumes.
The CWD home page from November 15, 2011. 2012 In January 2012, CWD families traveled to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for CWD's Family Support Weekend. Once again the focus was on the psychosocial challenges facing families living with type 1 diabetes. Great weather helped make the weekend a wonderful and memorable experience.
In February 2012, CWD hosted its Focus on Technology conference just outside Philadelphia. In spite of a flash snow storm that produced a near white out, we once again had a capacity crowd, as we always do in Philadelphia. Sessions covered continuous sensing, advanced insulin pumping, as well as dealing with stress and dealing with diabetes technology in school.
We returned to Orlando for out annual International Friends for Life conference, at the Marriott World Center. Highlights included banquet entertainment by Crystal Bowersox, hosting a large group of teens from Italy, our largest group of adults with type 1 ever, and over 3,000 people in attendance. Jeff Hitchcock shared the great news his daughter Marissa's wedding at the beginning of the Richard Rubin Opening Keynote, and then handed the session over to Tom Karlya. Addressing the needs of our growing adults with type 1 audience, we had dedicated programming and rooms for this important audience. Two full days of sessoins covered topics from sensors to pumps to highs and lows and everything in between. Closing the conference were Jay Hewitt and Kendall Simmons, who shared their incredible stories of overcoming type 1 diabetes to achieve incredible success.
Just a couple weeks after FFL, CWD headed to Vancouver for our third annual Friends for Life Canada conference. About 300 people, mostly from the Canadian west, came to learn about the latest in diabetes research, technology, and care. More than half were new to CWD. Great speakers from Canada rounded out the usual CWD faculty, offering sessions focusing on the unique aspects of diabetes care in Canada. As usual, the teens headed off site and had a great time.
In mid-October CWD headed to Sugar Land, Texas, for our second Focus on Technology of the year. Dr. Stephen Ponder updated families on CGMS and new technology while wearing headgear from Monte Python -- quite a picture. Families learned about advanced pumping concepts, how to choose the right infusion set, and dealing with diabetes burnout.
Our final conference of the hear was Friends for Life UK, our fourth FFL UK event, back at Beaumont House in Old Windsor the first week of November. Once again were sold out and at capacity, so much so that we had to run meals in two shifts. After an inspiring keynote by Tom Karlya, IDF President Sir Michael Hirst shared his personal connection to type 1 diabetes before turning the second keynote over to Dr. Tabitha Randell, who updated families about the NHS and diabetes. Two full days of sessions followed, culminating in a closing address by Jeff Hitchcock who shared the good news of his daughter's wedding earlier in the year.
The CWD home page from June 26, 2012. 2013 In early February 2013 -- Super Bowl weekend in fact -- CWD headed to Washington, DC for our first Focus on Technology of the year. Dr. Ed Damiano's session, "Pathway to the Artificial Pancreas," left many in the audience with a sense of restored hope and optimism not felt by many for years, if not decades. After a full day of sessions on Saturday, Sebastien Sasseville offered a wonderful closing keynote on Sunday morning, giving families a chance to enjoy a great breakfast and make it home in time for football.
About a month later, CWD headed to Toronto for our fourth annual Friends for Life Canada conference. Families from all over Canada -- about 75% new to CWD -- came to learn about the latest in diabetes research, technology, and care. A great team of speakers from Canada and the US covered topics including diabetes technology, the artifical pancreas project, dealing with diabetes burnout, and traveling with type 1 diabetes (as in, camping in the wilds of Canada). A group of diabetes heroes, followed by Jeff Hitchcock's summary, closed out the conference.
The first week of April 2013 was Friends for Life UK, our fifth FFL UK event and first event in Scotland. Once again were sold out and at capacity, so much so that we had to run meals in two shifts. Sir Michael Hirst, President of IDF, opened the conference and was followed by Tom Karlya, who inspired families to get involved and make a difference. Saturday evening saw CWD's first Family Ceilidh, complete with many CWD men dressed in traditional and appropriate Scottish kilts. Closing the conference was Jeff Hitchcock, who offered suggestions on living well with type 1 and shared that he is an expectant grandfather -- affirming that our kids with type 1 grow up to live wonderful lives.

Dresden top world city for hotels: London worst, T.O 70th ... Jaunt deal of day
Looking for a great hotel breakfast? Try Dresden, Germany. More a fan of over-priced hotels with small rooms, expensive mini-bars, long lines at check-in and line-ups for breakfast? Check out hotels in London, England.
Yet another hotel rating report has landed on my virtual desk, this one from a German company called Trivago. According to Reuters, Trivago, a "travel metasearch website," compiled hotel reviews from more than 140 accommodation booking sites and found London came last in a list of 100 cities that had at least 135 hotels and 60 reviews. It did not include TripAdvisor postings.
"Dresden came top with its hotels receiving the highest ratings and most positive reviews from guests," Reuters said.
"Users praised Dresden hotels for their value for money, whilst London hotels were criticised for their prices," said a spokeswoman for Trivago. "In particular, reviewers felt the minibars were overpriced and breakfast service was both overpriced and disappointing, whilst hotels in Dresden were praised for their delicious and well-valued breakfasts."
She said London hotels were also criticised for overcrowding at breakfast, long queues at check-in, inability to cope with large groups of people, small rooms and poor views. On the other hand, hotels in Dresden were praised for their exceptional service, efficiency, helpful staff, as well as their spacious rooms with excellent views.
Finishing just behind Dresden in the list of cities with good hotels were Hanoi, Portland (Oregon), Tokyo and then, in the fifth spot, Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The rest of the top ten featured, in order, Gdansk in Poland, Chicago, Seattle, Krakow and Budapest.
The worst ten? From 91st to 100th and dead last, were the following: Los Angeles, Kiev, Frankfurt, Panama City (Panama), Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, Copenhagen, Rio de Janeiro and London.
Dresden got a "reputation score" of 83.08, while London notched a mark of just 73.42.
It's a rather damning statement for western Europe, with five big name cities in the bottom 10. But fairly decent for the U.S., with three in the top 10; two in the northwest part of the country.
What about Canada, you say? Glad you asked. Montreal finished down in the 58th spot with a 78.67 reputation score. Toronto? Ai-yay-yay: a pretty poor 70th place with a reputation score of just 78.15.
Other notable cities and their placement in the top 100 include Venice (14), Las Vegas (18), Prague (24), Florence (25), New Orleans (32), Barcelona (33), Orlando (40), Madrid (52), Hong Kong (59), San Francisco (62), Dublin (65), New York (67), Sydney (69), Rome (74), Delhi (80) and Glasgow (86).
I have found London to be quite expensive and rooms are small. Rooms tend to be small in most older, urbanized areas of Europe, for sure. But I'm a tad surprised at some of the results. I've been to Hanoi but only stayed in one hotel. It was pretty nice and fairly cheap; maybe $100 for a room with a nice bath and balcony and decent breakfast very close to the city centre. But number two in the world? I don't know about that.
Good story in Star Business today by reporter Vanessa Lu, talking about how British Airways worked with Twinings to develop a better-tasting tea for folks at 35,000 feet. Apparently we lose a lot of our taste buds at such high altitudes and in dry airline cabins, so they're worked out a new "formula" to give the best taste.
Personally, I think tea is highly overrated and doesn't even compare to a good cup of coffee. But, then again, I get grief from friends/family about preferring creme in my coffee versus taking it black. And I VASTLY prefer Tim Horton's drip coffee to Starbucks, although I''ll take Starbucks for a good latte.
I tried Aroma coffee bar at Yonge and Eglinton for the first time on Tuesday and had a wonderful latte. Plus the croissants smelled divine!

Request help from members on the following:
1. When one sends an email to a collegue, one needs to keep a tab on it through '@Waiting For' folder. For this David advises blind copying the mail to oneself and dragging the copy into the '@Waiting For' folder. I would presume it will be easier to drag the copy from the 'Sent mails' folder. Any particular reason why David has advised the other way?
2. Both Tasks and Notes in Outlook have many fields that are really not needed for GTD. I have configured mine to show only the following fields:
Tasks - Complete, Priority, Subject, Due Date, Notes
Notes - Subject, Content.
Did I get it right?
Many thanks and regards,

So there's nothing the government hates more than taxpayer dollars going to waste right well maybe not.
According -- new Treasury Department report the -- -- doesn't really mind it that much.
The report shows the IRS actually just got his workers from looking out for -- -- some cases it even penalize them.
For reporting cases of fraud billions and your taxpayer dollars.
Going up in smoke towards fake tax returns congressman Charles this study of the house subcommittee on oversight.
Joins me now I don't want to believe this is true is this true.
Well this report is -- and -- reviewed the report.
Had a conversation with commissioner showman yesterday.
And he's admitted there were some problems -- one of the offices.
But to have that.
Literally billions of dollars of tax fraud.
Tax identity theft going on and we know about certain types of measures that can be taken out of work.
And they have not been used this is just unacceptable and we're gonna continue to investigate this and and work to remedy this very quickly.
When you look at the numbers involved it's really staggering almost 24000.
Tax refunds totaling 46 point three million dollars.
Issued to one.
Address one Italy asks in what seems like somebody would pick up on not.
Well you would hope so and and the commissioner acknowledged major problems with one office that was handling a lot of this.
I've submitted a letter with a number of very very pointed questions but which he's assured me he will answer that he understands this is a serious problem.
And it needs to be addressed very very quickly.
You when you drill down on the details to try and figure out how something like that could possibly happen you have to wonder there's more to it for example.
You know I read the base put up a team that was does -- thickly designated.
Two detected this type of fraud.
Why was that done.
Well I asked and that.
Western yesterday and he did not really give me a full answer on this and so aren't aren't I'm expecting a full Lancer shortly on why this happened because.
This team basically was successful in rooting out.
Fraud identity fraud using these individual tax identification numbers.
And so if we have something that works clearly we ought to be using it and expanding that type of program not stopping it also.
Motivation I -- why.
Jennifer saying that this -- with specifically broken up who could have made this better.
What would be the motivation for trying to look the other way on tax fraud well that's a great question and that's what we're trying to get after.
I'm concerned that there was a cultural issue going on within the IRS that was leading to this type of this -- -- Well meaning that there was a sort of let you know -- laissez Faire attitude about let things go.
We don't need to worry about this.
If with we start slapping people on the wrist it's gonna create.
Problems and our department.
So I don't -- -- why can't -- hear what kind of back -- and can speculate 'cause I'm just trying to imagine why they would want to look the other women I don't think there's a financial benefit to looking the other way.
Is there something that they're afraid of being accused of -- -- is it just lazy -- it why would they look the other -- Well I don't want to speculate job on that but I'm gonna get to the bottom of it and we're going to fully investigate that that's one of the questions I've asked.
I wanted to know who made this decision specifically to eliminate this program yeah.
Why did they make it we've asked those kinds of questions and -- be happening make sure that you have a copy of that letter that we -- We would love that we would love for you to come back -- as I'm very worried about this issue it's not just about taxpayer dollars I mean these taxpayer ID numbers are used by foreign residents were in this country in place of Social Security numbers and -- -- who don't have Social Security numbers.
I'm so this is really you know it's a national security issue as well -- Well this don't we did find four point two billion dollars -- one fiscal year in abuse of these numbers by illegals in this country.
The claiming child tax credits might committee found that last year at a hearing we've moved forward working with the treasury inspector general.
We're we're gonna root this out stop it okay congress and the moment you get more information please come back on the show absolute have a great weekend thank you -- --

The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

Conditions of Use
The book I read was called "The Gift", by James Patterson, and the main part of the book is mainly about overcoming obstacles. It is about the witch and wizard, Wisty and Whit running from the N.O. and their forces and trying to get the best of the One when he captures them. This book is definitely about overcoming obstacles because they always have to overcome the New Order and their evil schemes. Wisty and Whit are running from the N.O and at the same time, trying to overthrow them. If you ask me, that is a pretty hard job, especially for a bunch of teenagers. In the middle of the book during an attempt to overthrow the N.O, they get captured and they have to resist their deceptive tricks. The Gift is a great book about sacrifice, and overcoming troubles and obstacles.

This means that the GNOME Extensions Site (extensions.gnome.org) will immediately support the new GNOME Shell, and users can install new extensions from the browser thanks to this support.
The operation will

2012 endings: What we won't miss at all
Columnist Patt Morrison filled us in on "What she'll miss most" -- including Twinkies, author Ray Bradbury and David Beckham in shorts. Now, here's her list for what she won't miss.
Image 3 of 9
Facebook's IPO( Paul Sakuma / Associated Press )
Stupendous! Colossal! P.T. Barnum could not have delivered a bigger buildup than the one the Wall Street sachems wound up for the public -- stock that was sure to rival Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, shares so desirable they were fabled to be beyond the reach of the ordinary Joe, and therefore all the more coveted. It wasn't quite a bust, but Facebook's launch into the world of the publicly traded didn't live up to its billing, partly because of -- oh irony -- a NASDAQ computer glitch, and because of messy miscues that left it $3.82 below its opening-bell value. Don't cry for Mark Zuckerberg; he can still corner the world's sweatshirt market any old time.

The Battle To Sell Off Richard Scrushy's Many Toys
Filed under: Wealth, Crimes and Misdemeanors
HealthSouth shareholders had filed a lawsuit claiming Scrushy was involved in years of overstating the company's earnings and assets so that it looked like the company was meeting the Wall Street forecasts. He was acquitted in a federal criminal case over related charges and testified in the state civil case that he knew nothing about any fraud but is currently serving a sentence for a 2006 conviction in a separate state government bribery case. The Scrushy saga was also featured in the CNBC show American Greed.
One item up for potential sale is the 92-foot yacht, Chez Soiree. The yacht, which is currently anchored in North Palm Beach, Florida, is supposed to be up for sale this weekend. Scrushy has said he doesn't own the yacht but a Cayman Islands-based firm bearing his middle name, Marin Ltd., does. The Birmingham News says that the Tallapoosa County Sheriff's Department has a November 9 auction date planned for Scrushy's $5 million Lake Martin, Alabama home and all of the contents of it and a hangar on the property, a hoard of hundreds of items including a cigarette boat and jet skis. The Birmingham News has PDFs of the list of belongings up for sale complete with black and white shots of wicker chairs, television sets and bad art. Neighbors had referred to the 14,000 square foot home as "the world's largest La Quinta Inn"
Scrushy's cars, 19 seized vehicles in total, were sold at auction last month. The cars includes a Bentley Azure, a Rolls Royce Corniche, a Hummer and a Porsche 911 and brought in more than $850,000 total. Scrushy's team of lawyers had also tried to delay that sale.

Code Name - Samantha
By now you've probably heard about a new WiFi based communication system that will be introduced in the 2010/2011 FTC season. That project started over a year ago with a conversation at the FTC North Carolina Regional Championship with John Toebes.
John is an FTC coach and has also been involved with FLL and FRC. He embodies many of the great attributes of our community. He's smart, driven, and feels strongly about STEM and the next generation. In his spare time he's also the Director, Patents, for CISCO.
From that initial conversation in North Carolina John started experimenting with different communication architectures that would minimize or eliminate the issues we'd experienced with Bluetooth. What he developed, with the help of a small team, is a WiFi module that plugs into the USB port of the NXT brick effectively bypassing the Bluetooth system.
The benefits of this for FTC teams are in ease of connectivity. This includes both the initial connection and the management of data between computer and robot. There are some features that are also possible using this device including remote monitoring of robot condition. The main benefit however is a stronger/easier communication system.
At this point we've produced several breadboard versions and hardened the design with a beta production run of about 40 units. Some of you saw a few of these demonstrated in Atlanta. By mid-June production units will be made available to teams who register with FTC. All teams registering with FTC in the 2010/2011 season will receive a Samantha WiFi module at no charge - thanks to the generous donation of John and his team and funding from the Kauffman Foundation.
I think this project reflects the best from our FIRST community. Smart people coming together to solve a tough problem - and providing that solution to our students and mentors at no cost. There are very few communities that could come together to make something like this happen and we're all fortunate to be part of this one.
PS - The Samantha code name was chosen due to the fact that one of the developers has a daughter named Samantha.

my team beta tested at PACE university for the hudson valley ny state championship and wifi did not go well. they used it in the official matches. we ran match one four or five times. by the end of the match only one robot would still be running. all the others had been dropped and lost connectivity. We burned one of our motors when we lost our connection and the robot continued into a wall and we werent the only team. it severely messed us up. we still won inspire. but we lost alot of matches cause of our scramble to replace our motor.

To further support its dedication to remain at the forefront of healthcare technology, National Jewish Health implemented an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. We are committed to improving patient care, and this new system helps facilitate communication among healthcare providers and ensure accuracy of patient data.
An EMR is a medical record that is stored digitally in a secure computer database within an organization or healthcare system. This system allows electronic storage, retrieval, and modification of medical records, and is an alternative to traditional, paper medical records. EMRs have the potential to improve the safety, quality and efficiency of healthcare.
Healthcare is a complex and critical system, so it is important that healthcare providers have access to their patients' medical records immediately, right at the point of care. An EMR allows those involved in your healthcare at National Jewish Health to instantly view your records from a secure database. Other benefits of an EMR include:
Your physician will use a computer in your exam room to check medical information and enter notes, prescriptions, referrals and other information. Your prescriptions will be electronically generated and either printed out on secure paper, or sent electronically to your pharmacy.
Your medical records are stored in a secure computer system and can only be accessed by your physician and other medical staff who need it to care for you. National Jewish Health strictly follows HIPAA guidelines for ensuring your patient information is protected. Read a notice of our privacy practices.
If you have any questions or concerns about this new system, feel free to speak with any member of our medical staff.
Our physicians are experts in the treatment of respiratory, immune and related diseases.
Find a doctor.

- Electra
by Jean Giraudoux
- Time: 7:30 PM
- Location: Hainline Theatre
- Description: Electra is a retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Electra, but Giraudouxs version is not really a Greek play; its about France in the 1930s, when Hitler was becoming a threat to France and the enemy was on the border. Indeed, the play strongly suggests the dilemma many European nations faced as Fascism took hold in Germany. Electras quest to bring the truth about her fathers murder and refusal to let secrets stay buried are both complicated
and made more necessary by impending war. The threads of
power, family, and responsibility of the original story are woven together in this powerful Giraudoux play. - Contact Information:
