"Get down! No climbing in the trees!" the park attendant yelled at my seven-year-old son, who was happily clambering up a magnificent oak tree.
I ran over and told Billy to stay in the tree, but the attendant informed me that this was a park rule, and my son had to get down, or he might get hurt.
Are we over-protecting our children, preventing them from developing a genuine interest in nature by keeping them away from it? Several educators have written recently about their concern that there is too much "look, but don't touch" and not enough incentive to explore in many of our environmental education programs.
Here's how David Sobel puts it in his article: Look, Don't Touch: The Problem With Environmental Education:
Much of environmental education today has taken on a museum mentality, where nature is a composed exhibit on the other side of the glass. Children can look at it and study it, but they can't do anything with it. The message is: Nature is fragile. Look, but don't touch. Ironically, this "take only photographs, leave only footprints" mindset crops up in the policies and programs of many organizations trying to preserve the natural world and cultivate children's relationships to it.
He goes on to explain that between the ages of six and twelve, children have an innate desire to explore the woods, build forts, make potions from wild berries, and all these activities provide an organic, natural way for them to develop environmental values and behaviors. He believes that the "look but don't touch" approach, by contrast, cuts kids off from nature.
There are of course plenty of areas where the environment really is too fragile to be opened up for mass outdoor recreation. But if we keep nature and children too far apart, how will they care about preserving our planet? If children don't feel connected to nature, then why will they work to protect it as adults?
From The New York Times:
The need for real, wild, natural play is beginning to catch on again, with communities that are building natural playgrounds with more sand, water, rocks and logs than swings and slides. Can the adults who control the "natural playgrounds" that already exist — the state parks, the outdoor centers, and the trusts and trails — resist the urge to be what one biologist calls "nature bullies," scolding children away from developing their own love for the land?
The answer of course is balance. Children can learn to respect nature and not harm truly fragile areas, or pick everything in sight. They can come to understand that we are all part of the environment and need to take care of it. Our children are, after all, the future stewards of our earth.
The dangers of staying home, eating junk food, and playing computer games seem to me much greater than getting outside and climbing a tree. What do you think?

when I was a kid we have virtually free reign in the outdoors. we climbed, swam, built forts, pretended, rode our bikes, played kickball and soccer games with kids around the house and had a blast! don't be so protective. kids get hurt. every scar has a story!
In middle school, when I climbed one of the only trees on our campus of the right size and shape to do so, I was repeatedly told not to by wonderful teachers, who simply feared a lawsuit. How sad, that teachers can't even let kids be healthy in the great outdoors!
I spent my youth climbing trees, building underground forts in vacant fields, and staying outside til the streetlights came on.
I feel so bad for children, nowadays. They are stuck inside, getting no exercise, and breathing manufactured air. Get them outside!
With the bubble-wrap mentality of the helicopter parents, it's no wonder kids can't get outside and be kids anymore!
Liz E, are you sure we're not related? With the exception of hopping on the bus to go swimming (I couldn't do that until I was 16 since I grew up in PG County just outside DC), that sounds just like my childhood! I'm trying to give my kids the same joys of childhood, but thanks to the Paranoid Penny human buzzkills out there, it's not that easy.
But dammit, we're not going down without a fight. I'd rather have my kids dirty from playing outside than fat and lazy from sitting around playing video games or plugging into their electronic toys all day.
Kids need to be kids - yes keep them safe but they have to engage within the environment to know the environment. Kids need to be taught both in school classrooms and outside in the forest, near a lake, etc.
If people in the US were less into suing every little incident you wouldn't have this problem. The parks are probably scared if the kid falls the parents will sue their arses!
Well, at least boys are now equal with girls -- it used to be that only girls couldn't climb trees because "they might get hurt." How ridiculous and limiting all the lawsuits have made us -- there have been several playgrounds removed where I live because of lawsuits. When I was a child, getting hurt climbing trees and using playgrounds was just a natural and acceptable part of life, and I am the stronger for it.
Yes keep your children safe and make sure they are aware of the dangers but let them play and explore.
Aside from sensive, protected areas where endangered species survive and where human impact must be kept to a minimum, I say : let the children play outside ! Kids are supposed to run, jump, fall, get dirty and hurt themselves. That's how they are suppose to discover the world, develop motricity and feed their imagination.
Plus, it doesn't hurt if they can get fresh air and kept OFF the proverbial couch as much as possible !
Children should NOT be touching in nature areas--groomed parks, gardens, no problem. But they don't just "touch"; they pull and destroy. This is not generating respect. But if they climb trees, and they should fall or trip or get hurt in any way, we can be certain there will be a lawsuit which hurts the already-hurting public nature areas. So, kids should NOT be climbing the trees in natural areas. Again, climb where permission has been given and the public tax dollar won't be spent defending a liability lawsuit.

Jose Manuel Lara has been disqualified from the European PGA's BMW International Open after his caddie tried to hide the fact that the Spaniard began the event with an extra club in his bag.
The incident came to light after 35-year-old Lara, twice a winner on the circuit, had shot an opening 73 on Thursday.
European Tour chief referee John Paramor said: "His caddie noticed that he had a 15th club and on the second hole he attempted to lose it in a thick bush.
"He was seen entering the bush with the bag of clubs by his playing partners (Ireland's Damien McGrane and Swede Peter Hedblom), who thought it was a little bit suspicious.
"They went and asked the chap 'What are you doing?' and he sort of fumbled out an answer saying 'I've got this wrong - I've done something bad. I wish it hadn't happened, etc etc'.
"It was clear the club was out of the bag and in the bush at the time. He admitted it straight away and regretted his action.
"A ruling was sought over what was the penalty for carrying an extra club and he was given two shots for the first hole and two for the second."
Without those Lara would have returned a three-under 69 and been in contention, but on the 18th hole a referee was summoned to the recording area and that is when the full story was told.

Indonesia Mandates Standards, Certification and Labelling for Toy Safety
Indonesia recently mandated the use of Indonesian National Standards for toys under specific tariff codes. Other obligations in the new law include product certification and the use of the Indonesian National Standard Certification Mark. The new law takes effect on 2 October 2013.
In July 2012, Indonesia notified the World Trade Organisation (WTO) that toys manufactured domestically or imported, distributed and marketed in the country shall fulfill the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and Technical requirements.1
On 2 April 2013, the Minister of Industry of Indonesia signed Regulation Number 24/M-IND/PER/4/2013 to mandate the use of SNI and other technical specifications for toy safety.2 Toys are defined as products or materials designed and intended for children up to the age of 14 with consideration on the normal behavior of a child as well as the possibility of improper usage in accordance with the habits of a child.
Under the new law, the Minister of Industry imposed mandatory standards to a list of toy products under specific Harmonised System (HS, Tariff) Codes. Manufacturers of such toys shall certify (Product Certification) that the toys comply with the appropriate mandatory SNI safety standards and shall obtain the Indonesian National Standard Certification Mark (SPPT-SNI) issued by the Institute of Product Certification. The issuance of SPPT-SNI is in accordance with the National Standard Guidelines (PSN) 302:2006.3
In order to obtain Product Certification, a manufacturer or importer must conduct testing by a laboratory or Product Certification Body (Product CB – LS Pro) accredited by KAN (National Accreditation Body) or a Product-CB designated by the Ministry of Industry.
Upon issuance of the SPPT-SNI, the manufacturer or importer must place the SNI mark on each product and / or packaging. The toy product and / or packaging is also obliged to comply with the labelling requirements in accordance with the requirements under Ministry of Trade No: 22/M-DAG/PER/5/2010.4
The new law takes effect 6 months after promulgation; 2 October 2013. Highlights of the standards and requirements as well as the scope of toy products with specific HS codes are summarised in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.

Devils Top Rangers to Tie NHL's Eastern Conference Finals
May 17 (Bloomberg) -- David Clarkson scored early in the third period to give the New Jersey Devils a 3-2 victory against the New York Rangers.
"We've been playing some good hockey and we've got to continue to do it," Clarkson told reporters. "That is a big win for us."
Last night's result at Madison Square Garden in New York leaves the best-of-seven National Hockey League playoff series tied at one game apiece. Game 3 in the Eastern Conference finals is in two days at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
"We have to take care of business at home," Devils coach Pete DeBoer told reporters. "There's a lot of hockey left and I'm glad to be going home.
Ilya Kovalchuk had his sixth goal of the playoffs in the first period and Ryan Carter also scored for the Devils. Marc Staal and rookie Chris Kreider scored for the Rangers.
New York's second goal, on a power play by Kreider midway through the second period, followed an eight-minute interruption when the penalty box door got stuck, preventing the Devils' Travis Zajac getting in.
The series winner will play the Los Angeles Kings or the Phoenix Coyotes for the Stanley Cup. The Kings lead the Western Conference finals two games to none, with Game 3 scheduled tonight in Los Angeles.

If there's a "signature James Bond meal" it's scrambled eggs. He eats them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner - generally with coffee and bacon or sausage. Bond ate so much that Fleming even included a recipe for them in his short story "Thrilling Cities":
12 fresh eggs
Salt and pepper
5-6 oz. of fresh butter
Break the eggs into a bowl. Beat thoroughly with a fork and season well. In a small copper (or heavy bottomed saucepan) melt four oz. of the butter. When melted, pour in the eggs and cook over a very low heat, whisking continuously with a small egg whisk.
While the eggs are slightly more moist than you would wish for eating, remove the pan from heat, add rest of butter and continue whisking for half a minute, adding some herbs to taste (oregano, parsley, or Italian mix). Serve on hot buttered toast in individual copper dishes (for appearance only) with pink champagne (Taittinger) and low music.

Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 momentarily stops responding during typical operations. This includes when you read e-mail messages, move e-mail messages, or delete e-mail messages.
These symptoms are most noticeable during mail delivery or during synchronization. These symptoms become more pronounced as store size increases. They are more likely to occur when the size of the .pst file or the size of the .ost file approaches 2 gigabytes (GB). Additionally, they are more pronounced in a very large .pst file or in a very large .ost file that is 4 GB or larger.
Note When you perform the same operations in earlier versions of Outlook, the same performance problems do not occur if the .pst file or the .ost file is large.
To accommodate new features, Outlook 2007 introduced a new data structure for .pst files and for .ost files. In this new data structure, the frequency of writing data to the hard disk increases as the number of items in the .pst files or in the .ost files increases.
Note You cannot create a .pst file or an .ost file without this new data structure.
To resolve this problem, install the update that is described in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
933493Update 933493 is available to improve the general responsiveness of Outlook 2007 during common operations. These operations include reading, moving, deleting, and downloading e-mail messages for users who have large mailbox files (.pst files and .ost files) that are stored on their computers. From a technical perspective, this update optimizes the pattern in which Outlook 2007 writes to a large .pst file or to a large .ost file. This results in a reduction of disk access.
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/933493/ )Description of the update for Outlook 2007: April 13, 2007
This update for Outlook 2007 is part of our continued commitment to improving our customers' product experiences. We are aware that some customers have encountered performance issues when they run Outlook 2007. This update incorporates several performance improvements. This update is designed to do the following:

Method 1: Reduce the size of the Exchange mailboxIf you reduce the size of the Exchange mailbox, the size of the .ost file will also be reduced. To reduce the size of the Exchange mailbox, do one or more of the following:
Method 2: Use an online mode profile instead of a cached mode profileCached mode profiles use an .ost file to store the mailbox locally on the hard disk. If you have a large Exchange mailbox, you will have an .ost file that is even larger. For example, if the mailbox size is 350 megabytes (MB), the .ost file size can be 475 MB or larger.
Method 3: Split your large .pst file into several smaller .pst filesOutlook 2007 does not have a built-in function to split a .pst file into multiple .pst files. Therefore, you have to use one of the following steps to split a large .pst file:
Method 4: Use a filter to restrict the items that you synchronize from Exchange to your .ost fileTo configure a synchronization filter on a specific Exchange mailbox folder, follow these steps:
If you use a synchronization filter, you can view the items that are not synchronized with the .ost file either by using Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access or by using an Outlook client that is configured to use online mode in an Outlook profile.
If you use a portable computerIf you are using a portable computer, you may experience these problems sooner than you would on a desktop computer. This occurs because hard disks on portable computers are generally slower than hard disks on desktop computers. The performance problems are directly related to hard disk speed. If you add more random access memory (RAM) to a computer, there is no effect on this problem.

Another interesting tidbit of information has been revealed by Lionsgate about the trailer released last week. If you haven't seen it yet, see it here or check it out below:
As any good reader of the book series can tell you, the trailer didn't show any of the games themselves. Personally, I found that to be pretty cool. The trailer ended with the countdown to the games starting and the tributes sprinting towards the cornucopia. EPIC ending. However, there was a reasoning behind this! In a statement released by Lionsgate last week, they said:
"SANTA MONICA, CA (November 14, 2011) – The full trailer for the highly anticipated upcoming film THE HUNGER GAMES…. only shows footage from the first half of the film, chronicling events leading up to but not including the Games themselves."
This was apparently done "In an attempt to preserve the anticipation and mystery that fans are relishing".
Veh-hy interesting! Expect a two-part dissection of the trailer coming later this week.
May the odds be ever in your favor,

This is an integrated collection of updated and expanded essays, some of them endorsed by leading harpsichordists. Only a few chapters are specific for the harpsichord: most of the book applies to all the Baroque keyboard instruments and some chapters to general Baroque music interpretation topics. Several colour figures are included, as well as musical examples from well-known Baroque works. The reader will find here the answer to well-known long-standing problems. Thorough guidance is provided on difficult matters such as ornamentation, articulation, tempi, registration, sesquialter rhythms, notes inégales and further topics that have been found to be useful to the modern performer of Baroque keyboard music, whether amateur, advanced student or professional player.

"I have collected these pieces over the years from the internet or have entabulated and/or arranged or realized them myself. I have edited all of them and formatted them to fit nicely on US letter size paper (8.5 x 11 in), though some are formatted for US legal size (8.5 x 14 in). I have not formatted any for A4, as life is too short. Again, if you have Fronimo, it is pretty easy to reformat these to taste. I have tried to create performable copy in all cases. These pieces are mostly for renaissance lute, but quite a few are for baroque lute and archlute, and a very few for theorbo, cittern, bandora, guitar etc. Other pieces include songs and continuo pieces, listed by composer. Under Lute ensemble in the list of composers, you will find pieces for two or more lutes. Source facsimiles are now grouped together in one place.

As our long-standing readers might recall, over the past several years, we have regularly reported on Deltek (NASDAQ: PROJ), praising the company's focus and steadfastly defended turfs, especially the realm of United States (US) government contracting (a.k.a. GovCon). Deltek has been a software provider that does the job as promised (and more), but the company and its products have never been associated with "cool" and "exciting." Indeed, how many enterprise software pundits would associate Deltek with notions of "cloud," "social media," "subscription-based business," "community/ecosystem," etc.?
Well, what difference a year can make! Insight 2011, Deltek's annual user conference, showed a very different looking Deltek than the company I saw a year ago (let alone a decade ago). Conference attendees could see in the opening video that Deltek has recently changed its identity and tagline to reflect a new Deltek with a mission to help client organizations "Know More and Do More." The video conveyed the message that this is a time of transformation for the vendor, which has significantly grown and lately expanded its capabilities and its solutions to help customers know more and, therefore, do more.
The past year was highlighted by three major additions (in nine months, no less) to Deltek: Maconomy, INPUT, and FedSources (the most recent acquisition). All three of these acquisitions were the culmination of a few years of planning and hard work. It all began in July 2010, immediately after Deltek Insight 2010, when the vendor acquired Maconomy, a software company based in Copenhagen, Denmark, that delivers solutions for professional services firms around the world.
Maconomy Extends Deltek's Reach
During his keynote presentation, Kevin Parker, Deltek's chief executive officer (CEO) and president, said that when he and his team first got to know Maconomy's team, it was like meeting a long-lost relative for the first time:
We share a common DNA. We both have a unique focus on our customers and a unique passion for serving professional service companies around the globe. It was exciting for us to find a team that is as dedicated and committed to providing purpose-built solutions as we are—solutions that were designed from the ground up to deliver the unique capabilities that have always been part of our mission here at Deltek.
We share a common DNA. We both have a unique focus on our customers and a unique passion for serving professional service companies around the globe. It was exciting for us to find a team that is as dedicated and committed to providing purpose-built solutions as we are—solutions that were designed from the ground up to deliver the unique capabilities that have always been part of our mission here at Deltek.
In other words, it was immediately clear to both companies that they could do much more together as one truly global team. The acquisition of Maconomy, with more than 200 team members and 600 customers across 60 countries, instantly expanded Deltek's global reach (which, prior to the merger, according to Parker meant "a London office with six employees and a dog") and provided it with a much broader footprint in Europe. Maconomy has also greatly accelerated Deltek's forays into new adjacent markets, including offering solutions for consulting firms, creative marketing communications agencies (which agencies have particular needs), and accounting and legal firms. Since the acquisition, Deltek has announced a number of new wins that speaks to the momentum of the Deltek Maconomy solution in the marketplace today. What all these companies share in common is the project-centric nature of their work. For more information on Deltek's acquisition of Maconomy, see TEC's previous article.
The combination of Deltek and Maconomy has also accelerated the reach of the Deltek Vision product into new geographies, and expanded its team globally. Hugo Dorph, former CEO of Maconomy, has meanwhile become the general manager and executive vice president (EVP) of Deltek's Professional Services. With new offices in Oslo, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Stockholm, and Brussels, Deltek Vision's team has continued to grow to meet its customers' global needs. And Maconomy has since extended its North America reach, which previously consisted of "a Boston office with six employees and a dog." Parker was proud to say that Deltek is now selling in more markets and geographies than at any time in its history.
Acquiring Intelligence Sources
The dust hadn't quite settled from the Maconomy acquisition when Deltek took another important step just 90 days later by adding INPUT to its solution set. INPUT enjoys a great reputation in the world of government contracting, whereby more than 2,200 member companies rely on INPUT for the latest and most comprehensive government procurement and market information. This acquisition is a strong complement to the GovWin network that Deltek launched last year and showcased at Insight 2010. Last year, the main story was about GovWin's unique capabilities as a site for government contractors to team up and find and manage government business. Its Web scraping and human research capabilities have been referred to as an online dating service for the government contracting community. For more information, see TEC's Deltek Insight 2010 report.
Since then, the GovWin network has grown from more than 10,000 members to 30,000 members, with more joining all the time. By coupling INPUT's opportunity identification and market intelligence with GovWin's proposal, teaming (joint ventures), and supplier management capabilities, Deltek has created a compelling solution for business development professionals. Together with its proven project and financial management capabilities, Deltek delivers the only solution for managing the entire government contracting business life cycle.
Deltek and INPUT are quite complementary businesses—nearly half of INPUT's 2,200 customers were already customers of Deltek, but in different parts of their organization. While Deltek's historical strength was selling solutions to finance and project management professionals, INPUT's customers are largely in business development positions. By building a bridge between these two islands of information via government contractors, Deltek expects to further drive its customers' business success. Through the acquisition of INPUT, Deltek now counts 98 of the top 100 government contractors as customers.
The most recent addition was in April 2011, when Deltek acquired INPUT's biggest competitor, FedSources. Like INPUT, FedSources provides deep market intelligence, up-to-date opportunity information, and value-added consulting services to government contractors (e.g., help with becoming compliant with the stringent General Services Administration [GSA] and Veteran Affairs [VA] schedules or with the dreaded Section 300 requirements). In fact, many customers subscribe to both intelligence sources to get a complete view of the US government contracting marketplace.
By combining FedSources with INPUT, Deltek has created the largest government opportunity database of its kind in the world. It is a database that contains an incredible 11,000 federal opportunities valued at over US$1 trillion. Just as lawyers subscribe to LexisNexis and Westlaw for comprehensive research of legal precedents backed by a huge database, anyone looking to win more government business need go to one place: Deltek.
Enter Deltek Information Services
Deltek recently organized GovWin, INPUT, and FedSources under one business unit called Deltek Information Solutions, run by Catherine Morales, formerly of LexisNexis and Reed Elsevier. Today, more than 17,000 companies and 70,000 individuals rely on INPUT, FedSources, and GovWin. Later this year, Deltek plans to combine all of these properties to launch one new database, network, and user interface (UI) that incorporates the best capabilities from each of them.
The power of the newly combined Deltek Information Solutions is truly remarkable, especially for the US GovCon community (it remains to be seen how this community can "travel," given differing legislations and cultures in Canadian and overseas governments). But, the new division is a great fit for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) world as well. The AEC industry currently ranks third in awarded US federal contracts, just behind the defense and IT industries.
Deltek's new information solutions offering for its AEC customers identifies hundreds of GovCon opportunities, worth more than US$200 billion each year. It provides contact information for key government personnel so that AEC firms can research and understand their customer and the issues they face. The service also delivers competitive intelligence on companies in the AEC market to assist due diligence efforts in competitive and partnering situations.
Product Development Goes On
In addition to these well thought-out acquisitions, Deltek continued to increase its investments in new and enhanced products and technologies and is continuing to add to its portfolio of solutions. At Insight 2011, the vendor showcased new products across all of its major product lines and target markets.
Parker started with Deltek GCS Premier, a lower-end offering for government contracting customers. At Insight 2010, Deltek announced that it was committed to offering its customers flexibility in how they invest in Deltek's solutions. In keeping with that commitment, at Insight 2011 Deltek announced the release of Deltek First, an on-demand edition of GCS for small and midsize government contractors.
Deltek First is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that manages the entire business life cycle of a smaller government contractor. Built to surpass stringent government auditing standards, Deltek First is a compliance-ready solution that offers focused financial accounting, project management, and business development capabilities. Designed to help contractors get up and running quickly on a full-featured business management platform, Deltek First is accessible from a Web browser and requires no internal IT expertise or resources.
In addition, Deltek First offers low initial start-up costs and ensures short deployment times, and it is delivered via a secure, globally accessible environment. Given that GCS Premier has not been a trailblazing product, Deltek First is a great example of the vendor's commitment to offer new flexible deployment and cost options.
As for Deltek Costpoint, the flagship offering to GovCon customers, in 2010 Deltek unveiled Deltek Costpoint 7, slated for release in late 2011. While Costpoint is a feature-rich product, Deltek realized that it needed to focus on the product's ease of use. Over the years, as Costpoint grew and the vendor added more functionality, usability suffered.
With Costpoint 7, Deltek reportedly leveraged feedback from human factors experts to redesign the UI (using the AJAX and Adobe Flex tools) and match the navigation to how users actually do their jobs. Based on service-oriented architecture (SOA), which is a departure from the preceding client-server releases, Costpoint 7 is now code complete and will be delivered in a few short months.
Looking more broadly at the needs of Costpoint customers, Parker also talked about Costpoint Analytics. It is a well-known fact that those companies that know more about their business—and can make faster, better decisions on time-sensitive information—are in the best position to do more (i.e., succeed). Many organizations have large amounts of data spread across multiple repositories and business units, with no method of aggregating this data effectively. In this kind of siloed environment, they have to leverage multiple data sources to understand the overall health of their business, which can cause delays in making key decisions. Costpoint Analytics gives Deltek users access to critical metrics to track project performance and manage budgets, helping government contractors gauge the health of their business and make smarter decisions.
A Compass for Program Managers
Over the last year, Deltek has also been hard at work developing and refining solutions for its enterprise project management (EPM) users, many of whom are in the GovCon realm. In working closely with its customers, it became clear to Deltek that many program managers struggle because they lack a single centralized platform that integrates all the information required to successfully manage complex projects. Distributed project and program management tools also lead to inconsistent and untrustworthy data that further contributes to delays and cost overruns.
After more than a year in development (code-named, and previewed as, CAM Dashboard), Deltek has just released Deltek PM Compass, which is hoped to finally solve these program management challenges. PM Compass is hailed as the industry's first project management platform designed and built specifically for program managers and project leaders. PM Compass will aggregate data from disparate sources and platforms, creating a "command center" where program managers go to monitor and manage projects.
By giving program managers one aggregated view into complex programs and the tools to manage them from one central location, PM Compass empowers government contractors to reduce unwanted surprises and ensure that programs are completed on time and on budget. PM Compass will also centralize all data on the performance of a program or project so that reports and presentations can be created quickly, helping to ensure that program managers stay focused on project success.
Goodies for Professional Services Customers
In the coming months, Deltek will be launching major new releases of Deltek Vision and Deltek Maconomy solutions to even better compete with Tenrox, BST, NetSuite OpenAir, FinancialForce.com, Microsoft Dynamics, etc. Deltek Vision 7 is the enterprise software solution built specifically for the architecture and engineering (A&E) firms. Deltek Vision is used by thousands of A&E firms in North America and around the world. While Vision is a good fit for large multinational and global enterprises, it is primarily used by smaller companies or divisions of larger firms. Because many of A&E firms are pursuing global growth plans, Vision 7 will contain an entirely new set of features that will help them manage their business more effectively both locally and globally.
Vision 7 will support its customers' international growth aspirations by offering more language packs, the ability to manage statutory requirements, and improved localization capabilities. For example, Vision 7 will feature improved currency management so that companies can roll up financials from multiple countries and perform intercompany billing calculations. Vision 7 will enable A&E firms to pay multiple currencies from a single bank. In addition, it will also feature improved key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics so that managers can understand business performance and make smarter decisions both at home and abroad.
Deltek has been working diligently on the next version of the Maconomy suite of solutions. As mentioned earlier, Maconomy has a distinct focus on the broader professional services space and is a good fit for accounting firms, creative marketing and advertising agencies, consulting companies, and law firms in the US and around the world (generally targeting larger companies than Deltek Vision does).
Maconomy 2.0 (formerly Maconomy XI), the product's 14th release, makes major strides in usability and is designed to be configured to exactly how companies want to use it. Personalization is the key word here: Users can create role-based views within the application for the specific aspects of the business that they manage; people can set up personalized alerts and workflows tailored to their business processes. The Java-based product will also offer an Eclipse development environment for interoperability and plug-in applications.
What's Next for Deltek?
The last 12 months are really the culmination of a five-year journey for Deltek, in which the company transcended its historical "debit and credit" project accounting focus. During these five years, Deltek grew from a US$120 million company with 600 employees to a company that is on track to post over US$350 million in revenue in 2011, with the help of its 1,600 employees worldwide. Parker set a goal five years ago for Deltek to expand internationally and better support its customers' business across the globe. To that end, Deltek now counts more than 1.8 million users worldwide and has customers in more than 80 countries around the world. In the coming years, Deltek pledges to continue to grow and expand its international presence.
Having grown in size, capabilities, and reach, one wonders what might be next for Deltek. Parker professed that Deltek's goal for the next five years is to become the industry standard for projects both at work and at home. How does Deltek intend to accomplish this ambition? By maintaining its focus on delivering new software solutions such as the aforementioned PM Compass, Deltek Maconomy 2.0, and Costpoint 7, to name but a few.
Going Social with Kona
But Deltek is also expanding its horizons by introducing solutions for beyond the workplace. Over the last few years the vendor has been tracking two forces from its vantage point as an industry expert in project-based software. First is the mainstreaming of social media—social media is influencing the lives of everyone, everywhere. The second trend is the ongoing struggle for individuals and project teams to collaborate, communicate, and execute on life and work projects despite more software solutions being available than ever before to attempt to solve this problem. Given its expertise, Deltek saw an opportunity to eliminate one of the largest barriers to project success at work and at home—through timely and effective team collaboration.
Deltek sees the need for a solution that addresses each of the contributors to the project and brings order to their lives. Deltek believes that empowering every team member will lead to more effective collaboration and drive successful projects. Everywhere means everywhere—inside the workplace and in our daily lives.
The upcoming product, called Deltek Kona, is expected to solve the project and team collaboration problem by offering a unique combination of social media capabilities, Web 2.0 technology, and Deltek's 30 years of project management experience that empowers teams to be successful. Within Kona, Deltek has redefined "project" to be anything an individual or a group of people is trying to accomplish together in a team setting—either in a business setting or in their personal lives. Examples of Kona "life" projects might be collaborating on school projects, organizing family reunions, managing home improvement projects, planning a camping trip, or organizing a charitable fund-raiser.
Deltek's goal with Ruby-on-Rails–based Kona is to break down the barriers to effective project and team collaboration and to pioneer a new concept called "Social Teamwork"—leveraging the connectivity power of the Internet to provide a framework for individuals and teams to track activities, capture expert knowledge, and effectively communicate, all in an effort to get things done together. Deltek strongly believes this novel solution will become a new standard for organizing and managing our lives at work and at home. We will have to wait for Kona to become generally available, perhaps some time next year. For now, Kona, based on early descriptions, resembles products such as Basecamp and Manymoon although early indications are that Kona is more.
Beyond Kona, Deltek is focused on its Cs (customer success and complete solutions) and Qs (quality and quantity) for the next few years. In finishing his keynote presentation, Parker stated that in the past, Deltek has helped customers manage their business and stay ahead of constant change. In the present, Deltek's information solutions and enterprise applications unlock customers' business potential and deliver more value for their business than ever before. In the future, Deltek will continue to work hard to be the global standard for managing successful projects and managing the businesses of companies that deliver projects for others.
Deltek Executives Speak Up
During our attendance of Deltek Insight, we had a chance to meet with several top executives at Deltek. What follows are some select questions by TEC and no-nonsense answers by Deltek.
TEC: Of all of your solutions within your GovCon, Professional Services, and Information Solutions divisions, what has been selling best of late and which of these do you expect to perform best in the future?Deltek: Sales of these products vary quarter to quarter, and they all have a very bright future. Overall, every product that we have has a great future when you consider our huge base of existing customers to sell into, our geographic reach, and the global market opportunity that we are now in a position to harness. While some of our product sales are affected by external factors quarter to quarter, we expect all of our products to perform well in the future because each has a strong market opportunity ahead of them.
TEC: What are the particular capabilities of your products?Deltek: We win in the marketplace because of the breadth and depth of our solutions combined with our knowledge of each particular industry that we sell into. From a depth perspective, the essential project or engagement capabilities that we offer are at the heart of our differentiation. Few other providers can offer solutions that let organizations analyze and manage project-based businesses and manage the projects that they need to deliver for their customers.
From a breadth perspective, let's take a look at our offering for government contractors. We provide a complete offering that manages the entire government contracting business life cycle—something that no other company can offer. We offer the leads, task order management, and teaming opportunities through our GovWin network and Information Solutions capabilities. Moreover, we offer the customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities needed to turn a lead into a sale; enterprise resource planning (ERP) and human capital management (HCM) solutions to manage the human resources (HR) aspects and finances of the business; and project and resource management capabilities to profitably execute government projects. We also offer a similar full life cycle solution to customers in our professional services verticals.
When you combine the strength of our solutions with our acute understanding of best practices in the industries we serve, we can get our customers up and running quickly on our solutions and work with them to understand how the market is changing and evolving in an ongoing manner. That knowledge of the industry drives additional sales down the line as companies grow and need more licenses, and as we offer new solutions to drive their businesses forward.
TEC: What would be the sweet spot customer for your major product lines?Deltek: Due to the nature of the industries we serve, Deltek has customers with as few as 25 employees, and customers that are some of the largest Global 2000 companies. However, with our sharp focus on industries, we have tight alignment between the solutions we sell and their target markets in the following way:
TEC: How has your competitive landscape changed?Deltek: Our competitive landscape remains very favorable and has not changed appreciably over the last four or five years. There is still no twin of Deltek around the world, and no consistent group of competitors that we see on a regular basis. We tend to win because we are unique. When we work with a prospect in the industries we serve and do a good job outlining our value proposition, our win rate is very high. When we have lost deals in the past, it tended to be because we were not global enough, or not as well known as we could have been in certain geographies. That is changing with our acquisition of Maconomy and our expansion around the world.
TEC: How are your major system integrator (SI), independent software vendor (ISV), and other partnerships going?Deltek: Growing the Deltek ecosystem was a strategy we embarked on three to four years ago, and we are pleased with where we stand right now. As our market position has grown, so has the attention from major SIs because they understand the market opportunity of aligning with Deltek.
On the ISV front, we are constantly evaluating the buy/build/partner decision. As part of that, we have embedded software in our applications that enhances what we can offer. This is particularly true in our strong portfolio of business intelligence (BI) applications.
As far as value-added resellers (VARs) go, we have close to 50 VARs working with us.
TEC: What percentage of your customers are SaaS/on-demand? Has that become the order qualifier or winner in your market?Deltek: We don't disclose specific numbers around the percentage of revenue from SaaS delivery models, but we can say with confidence that Deltek has embraced SaaS and our customers are responding favorably. In addition, we have seen great interest from customers in purchasing Deltek software on a term-license basis versus buying a lifetime supply of our software on day one, allowing them to save on the up-front costs of a perpetual license.
What's interesting is that if you look at our offering in total, many of our solutions are offered through the cloud, and I think this might surprise some casual observers of Deltek. Enterprise applications such as Deltek First and GovWin CRM are SaaS-based, and our Information Solutions and GovWin.com teaming and task order management solutions have always been delivered on a SaaS platform.
We have purposely and steadily increased our on-demand offerings over the years to diversify our revenue streams and give our customers maximum flexibility in how they consume our software.
TEC: What is your strategy toward social and Enterprise 2.0 tools and role-based user experience? Could you elaborate a bit on your upcoming social project collaboration Kona product?Deltek: Our strategy is to embrace the tools and trends that can help solve business problems for our customers. Clearly, social is one of those trends, and we are leveraging social techniques where they make sense. A great example is GovWin.com, which utilizes the power of the Web and social media to connect partners together to win and execute government contracts. This is an e-marketplace that is actually solving a business problem.
Regarding Kona, we are not in a position to say too much at this time, but suffice it to say, we think Kona will revolutionize how people manage projects and work on teams to accomplish goals—both at work and in their personal lives. We are leveraging the best of what is happening in the social landscape to bring organization and productivity to people's lives, at work and at home.
TEC: I've seen a mixed bag of technologies being released over the past years: IBM Cognos, Actuate, Microsoft's BI stack, and QlikView. So what is your BI/BPM strategy?Deltek: Our strategy is to offer BI capabilities across all of our various industry-specific solutions—Deltek Vision for A&E firms, Deltek Maconomy for Professional Services firms, Deltek First and GCS Premier for small government contractors, Deltek Costpoint for midsize to large government contractors, and our EPM solutions for government contractors. We take a best-of-breed approach to providing the tools needed to solve our customers' performance management needs. Specifically, we deliberately work with multiple BI vendors, each identified because it can provide reporting, analysis, and dashboarding capabilities and meet our industry-specific requirements. Our BI applications are seamlessly integrated to our ERP applications and feature one common user experience, so our customers can easily move from one application to another and not even realize it.
TEC: What were the major highlights for Deltek in 2010, and what do you expect over the next year, regarding demand for your solutions across different territories and product lines and modules?Deltek: Obviously, our year centered around our acquisitions. Our acquisitions over the last year were part of a deliberate strategy to quickly expand our capabilities both in the industries we serve and in the geographies where we operate.
Maconomy greatly expanded our reach into Europe and around the world, and gave us a portfolio of front-office, back-office, project management, and resource planning solutions for a new set of professional services industries for us, including accounting, legal, consulting, research, and public relations (PR) and marketing agencies. Since the acquisitions, we are winning deals in Europe that Deltek could not have won alone, and we are winning deals in the US that Maconomy could not have won alone.
Purchasing INPUT was a part of our strategy to extend and enhance our offerings to government contractors. INPUT, along with our recent acquisition of INPUT's largest competitor, FedSources, gives us an entirely new offering for our GovCon base in the front office. We have always had strong CRM capabilities, but INPUT and FedSources give us a database of over US$1 trillion worth of government opportunities, plus a whole book of research on trends in the GovCon space. Now, combine that database with our GovWin network that helps government contractors find teaming partners for the bids they are going after, and Deltek can now power the complete government contracting business lifecycle. No other company in the marketplace comes close to offering such a complete end-to-end solution for this industry.
TEC: What is your mobility strategy? Has mobility become a factor in your market segments?Deltek: Mobility is absolutely a core part of our applications strategy across all of our market segments. We have recently released Mobile Time applications, so people on the road can access and update their timecards from their mobile devices. Parts of our applications need to be viewable via mobile devices—areas such as CRM, BI/BPM, resource scheduling, and project tracking tools—and these are the areas we are investing in to make sure that Deltek users can be productive wherever they are. The popularity of tablets along with smartphones has changed how our customers want to access information, and we are embracing this wholeheartedly.
TEC: What issues are still keeping you up at night?Deltek: We have grown quite a bit over the last five to six years. We are getting closer to 2,000 employees today. In 2005, we had 600. It's been a very exciting journey, but making sure that we are keeping up with the needs of our customers, and thinking expansively about our markets is something we are always focused on. A great example of that is our recent acquisition of INPUT. INPUT is not exactly a technology solution—it is all about information. INPUT is where those government contractors go for insight as to what contracts are up for bid, and what the bid status is. We've also created solutions that allow contractors to collaborate with each other.
The challenge in all of that is to listen very carefully to all of our customers and look back inside Deltek and try to figure out how we can innovate, create, and combine with other technologies to bring value to our customers. Their needs are very expansive. Their appetite for technology is very strong, and that keeps us moving forward.
TEC: Given your sizeable research and development (R&D) investment and hardly any major marketing investments, how do you ensure the business is sustainable in the long run?Deltek: Well, we do invest very heavily in marketing where it makes sense. Our Insight User Conference was bigger and better than ever this year, and we spent a lot of time and effort developing and rolling out our new brand. Our brand recognition is very high in our core markets and our market opportunity is very large, and both of those positives have only been accelerated by our recent acquisitions. We are investing in fully educating our customers and the market on all the capabilities that we have, and those efforts combined with the needs of customers that drive them to Deltek should ensure that our market opportunity is sustainable in the long run.
TEC: Is there anything that you are at liberty to volunteer on the company's future moves, i.e., new functional scope, verticals, etc.?Deltek: Right now, our efforts over the next year are centered around propelling our new capabilities—some obtained through acquisition—to the market. In general, we will constantly be looking for ways to drive value and looking for those exciting integration points within our customer base and within the various technologies that we have. We'll undoubtedly consider making some more acquisitions down the line, but they are all going to be very focused on bringing value to our customers.
Outside of our traditional focus, we are also working on some very unique social media solutions, like Kona.
Deltek was started by a father and son accounting team in Northern Virginia who were trying to meet the needs of some of their government contracting clients; it has been in business for 28 years. Its customer base is large and growing, and counts some of the world's most impressive companies as customers. Companies such as SAIC, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Grant Thornton, Hill & Knowlton, HOK, and others use Deltek every day. What started out as a family-run business has turned into a very important global competitor.

The Oklahoma City Thunder had a statement to make on the court on Tuesday afternoon in Orlando Summer League play, and it wasn't one involving the action.
Instead, all the focus was on the team's choice of jersey.
In lieu of OKC's traditional get-up, the players wore all white jersey tops emblazoned with the silhouette of the state of Oklahoma and the Thunder's logo in the center.
The #OklahomaStrong jerseys, as they're being referred to on social media, are an acknowledgement of the massive destruction the Thunder's home state suffered in May when a swath of devastating tornadoes swept through the area.
Superstar Kevin Durant donated one million dollars to the relief efforts which was matched by the team, but the organization wanted to take their awareness efforts even further.
Reggie Jackson, who dropped a record-breaking 35 points in the team's 79-75 win over the Detroit Pistons, was proud to represent the team that chose him 24th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft.
Reggie on wearing #OklahomaStrong jersey. "Its a tribute to the community that makes this team go and work as one." pic.twitter.com/7mAO9X9LRL— OKC THUNDER (@okcthunder) July 9, 2013
OKC General Manager Sam Presti echoed Jackson's comments during an in-game interview.
GM SPresti on @NBATV on tornado help. "It's our job as a team to be there when these things happen." #OklahomaStrong pic.twitter.com/rucjV16dDh— OKC THUNDER (@okcthunder) July 9, 2013
More Presti: "We are not done supporting them, its going to be a long process...it's the Oklahoma standard." #OklahomaStrong— OKC THUNDER (@okcthunder) July 9, 2013

Rural Poverty Spotlight Bead Party
With a Rural Poverty Spotlight Bead Party, you will investigate poverty at its most extreme: the rural areas of the undeveloped world. You'll also learn about sustainable solutions. A portion of the funds you raise will go to BeadforLife's Agri-Business and Shea Programs.
Global poverty is predominantly rural
Global poverty remains a massive and predominantly rural phenomenon. Seventy percent of the world's 1.4 billion extremely poor people live in rural areas, and the majority are women and children who depend primarily on agriculture for their livelihoods. These are the subsistence farmers and herders, the fishers and migrant workers, the artisans and indigenous peoples whose daily struggles seldom capture the world's attention. However, about one in every five of these people lives in a country affected by warfare; warfare which destroys families and farms, leaving most people in a state of extreme poverty and starvation.
The challenge of limited access
Rural poverty is particularly prevalent in the regions of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Increasingly volatile food prices, the uncertainties and effects of climate change and a range of natural resource constraints will complicate further efforts to reduce rural poverty in these regions. People living in rural poverty face the central challenge of limited access. There is limited access to schools, to health care services, to markets to sell and access goods, to clean water, to electricity, and to many other basic needs and services. Women living in rural poverty tend to have more dependents and less education, and have limited opportunities for employment. Farming is often their sole means of survival.
Facts about rural poverty
- A 50% increase in the world's population is expected by 2050, with most expected growth in rural areas of developing countries.
- 52% of the population in Uganda survives on about $1.25 a day.
- The largest segment of the world's poor are the 800 million women & children living in rural poverty.
- Women make up half of the world's population and yet represent 70% of the world's poor.
- 1 in 6 children in the world, a total of 9.2 million, died before their fifth birthday in 2007.
- Across the world, 884 million people do not have access to clean water and 2.6 billion do not have access to adequate sanitation.
"It is clear that it is time to look at poor smallholder farmers and rural entrepreneurs in a completely new way – not as charity cases but as people whose innovation, dynamism and hard work will bring prosperity to their communities."
- Kanayo F. Nwanze, President, International Fund for Agricultural Development

Criterion Five: Engagement And Service
Criterion Five Statement
As called for by its mission, the organization identifies its constituencies and serves them in ways both value.
Criterion Five Components
- The organization learns from the constituencies it serves and analyzes its capacity to serve their needs and expectations.
- The organization has the capacity and the commitment to engage with its identified constituencies and communities.
- The organization demonstrates its responsiveness to those constituencies that depend on it for service.
- Internal and external constituencies value the services the organization provides.
Board of Regents
The Board of Regents of NMSU is the governing body and sets policy for DACC. In Article V – Functions/Operating Principles of the Board of Regents – the functions of the board are outlined (ch1. pg 5, NMSU Policy Manual). Function 1 outlines the Board's control over the university, of which DACC is a part. It states that the function of the Board is to exercise control and management over the university and to exercise all other powers, authority, responsibilities, obligations, immunities and duties granted to it by law and the Constitution of New Mexico (see exhibit 4.1a & b).
DACC Advisory Board
The DACC Advisory Board operates through an agreement with the NMSU Board of Regents. The Board of Regents' function is to
- act in the advisory capacity to NMSU Board of Regents
- approve annual budget and recommend to Board of Regents
- certify the operating tax levy
- conduct election for local general obligation bonds
The Advisory Board is composed of two elected persons from each of the three school districts in the service area: Las Cruces Public Schools, Gadsden Independent School District and Hatch Valley Municipal School District. The Boards of Education of the Gadsden, Hatch and Las Cruces School Districts must authorize mill levy and bond issue elections for DACC. They also approve the budget and advise DACC on program needs. The Board of Regents sets tuition and personnel policies, determines curricula and degrees, and handles all records, funds, receipts, and disbursements for DACC (see exhibit 4.1c).
Advisory Councils
Every career-technical program has an advisory council composed of working professionals in the specific field. These councils meet at least twice a year and advise on curriculum updates, new programs, etc.
Student Organizations and Clubs
The following is a list of student organizations and clubs at DACC:
Alliance for Minority Participation
American Institute of Architecture Students
Asian Pacific Island Student Association
Cherishing Children
Digital Art Club
Drafting and Graphics Association—DAGA
Facilities Maintenance Technicians Association
Hispanic Student Association
Inspiration of Life
Legal Assistant Program Organization
Kappa Beta Delta (Alpha
Nu Chapter)
March of Dimes
Math Club
National Student Nursing Association
Phi Theta Kappa (Alpha Omega Tau Chapter)
Radiologic Technology Club
Science Club
Semiconductor Manufacturing and Automation Technology
Students in Free Enterprise
Tidy Teeth
Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA)
Water Technology Club
articipation in these student organizations enables students to contribute to the communities in which they live. These activities support the DACC mission statement by providing students with multiple opportunities to increase their knowledge, skills and to network in the communities in which they live and work.
Cooperative and Clinical Experiences
Most of the career-technical programs require that students take at least three credits of a cooperative experience. Typically students are employed at an approved work site, and are then supervised and rated by both the employer and the instructor. The Health Programs require clinical hours of their students. For example, a student in the Emergency Medical Services Program is required to fulfill 9 credit hours of paramedic clinical experience. A student in the Health Care Assistant Program is required to fulfill 4 credit hours of Certified Nursing Assistant clinical experience. These experiences create a bridge from the classroom to the workplace, as well as facilitate DACC's connection to the community.

Main Performer
Working once again with producer Don Gilmore (also known for his work with Linkin Park), Welsh thrashers Bullet for My Valentine return with their fourth studio album, Temper Temper. The album should feature plenty of the guitar heroics that fans have come to love, but with the band doing most of the writing in the studio, the songwriting should feel a little looser and more organic, something frontman Matt Tuck came to appreciate while recording with his side project AxeWound. Based on "Riot," the album's debut single, it seems like the change is definitely working out for them., Rovi
