By Prof. Darrow Wood, Chief Librarian
In the summer of 1987 we moved into our new space in the Atrium, but in some ways we were soon to be obsolete. We had 150,000 books, 700 journal and magazine subscriptions, and a monster card catalog into which clerical staff filed hundreds of 3 x 5 cards every day. We were eleven faculty librarians whose jobs scarcely changed year to year, except when someone retired. We had a full-time clerical staff, ten people strong, and we employed dozens of part-timers, most of whom were our own students. The new library was built to acquire and conserve. Change was barely on the horizon, so it seemed.
Then the Internet arrived, then the desktop, the laptop, and now the mobile device. With ebooks included we now have over 392,000 books. We have access
to over 100,000 journals and magazines. Over 90,000 items are borrowed per year, almost the same number as visits to our library website. Database searches in 2011-12 totaled 1,339,727. We have a blog, we're on Facebook, and we tweet. Go to our website — see for yourself.
Rather than one librarian who taught bibliographic instruction in single sessions for a few courses, we now have a team of faculty who teach an expanding array of single-session classes, as well as workshops for faculty and students. We currently offer three sections of our three-credit course, LIB1201, "Research and Documentation for the Information Age." All this falls under the umbrella of information literacy. Now, rather than meeting around the water cooler or in scheduled meetings, we meet and negotiate via email, our wiki, our Google calendar, OpenLab, and CUNY's Academic Commons.
In 1987 if you were a student or faculty member visiting the library you knew the librarians weren't just throwing anything into the collection. New acquisitions were vetted. Books and journals and videos met the needs of students: they matched and supported the curriculum. This is still the case, but now with the explosion of information on the Internet, we are surrounded by so much noise. Instead of straightforward bibliographic instruction, we provide dynamic information literacy instruction. We need an online catalog that separates the wheat from the chaff. Lewis Carroll's Red Queen had it right: it's a struggle to keep pace. How do students navigate? How are they informed? How do they use what they find?
Except for perhaps the dozens of file drawers stuffed with thousands of pamphlets, maps and brochures organized by subject on everything, the library offers all the traditional services and resources that we ever did. But now library faculty members are not so much stewards as active collaborators and partners with classroom faculty in support of scholarly communications. Our librarians are busy encouraging open access, educating students and faculty about plagiarism, providing a better understanding of fair use, and working toward identifying and creating alternatives to textbooks.

But when looking at potential energy upgrades for your home, you should keep in mind a few important considerations:
1) Energy Efficiency is about more than electricity. For cold climate North American homes, the biggest source of energy consumption is space heating; space heating, in turn, is largely fueled by oil and natural gas. Barring a wholesale conversion to a electric heat (which may be expensive), photovoltaics will do nothing to reduce the amount of oil and gas that your home consumes.
2) Should you decide to invest in renewables, the scale of your investment will depend on the amount of energy your home consumes. If you can cut your home's energy consumption in half through simple, low-cost measures, and thus reduce the investment necessary to take your home to net zero in half (think: 1 solar panel vs. 2), you've made a good investment.
3) Return on investment. Air sealing might be a $1,000 dollar investment upfront, and could save you $500 or more per year, which would give you a 2-year ROI. A wind turbine in your back yard, on the other hand, might cost somewhere in the ballpark of $15,000-$20,000. That would take a while to pay itself off.
4) Energy Efficiency is about more than energy efficiency. Done right, sealing air leaks and upgrading your insulation are both measures that have a high ROI, will reduce your carbon footprint, and will reduce your energy bills. But they will also reduce drafts, make your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, and potentially increase the health and longevity of your house. That's a lot of bang for your buck. So if installing renewable energy sources at your house doesn't have quite the same impact, we won't hold it against renewables: it's a tall order to fill.
If you are a Denver City or Boulder County Resident, you can qualify for low interest energy efficiency loans from Elevations Credit Union. https://www.elevationscu.com/energyloans

Sri Lanka Cricket and the Pakistan Cricket Board have confirmed that both boards have begun investigations into the allegations that several first-class umpires were willing to influence matches for illegal payments. The claims came to light on Monday, when India TV broadcast a sting alleging that umpires from three countries had agreed to accept money to give decisions favouring certain players.
"Initial investigations are being carried out by our anti-corruption unit," SLC chief executive Ajith Jayasekara told ESPNcricinfo. He also said the SLC had not yet contacted the umpires, as it "would like to know what really is happening before we did anything."
A PCB spokesman also said the board was looking into the situation. "We are in contact with ICC and carrying out a detailed investigation into the matter," he told ESPNcricinfo. "For us it is just a TV report. We have sought the details involved in the matter and it is too early to say anything. The PCB maintains that we have a zero-tolerance policy towards any kind of corruption in cricket at any level."
One of the umpires named by India TV in their programme, Bangladesh's Nadir Shah, denied any involvement in match-fixing. "I was taken to Delhi to sign a contract for umpiring in the Sri Lanka Premier League," he told ESPNcricinfo. "But when I saw these people making match-fixing approaches, I backed off. I didn't do any SLPL matches, as you must know. I was never involved in match-fixing at any level."
Shah told BBC Bangla that he cut off contact once he was approached about fixing. "These are baseless allegations. They said their piece, nobody is listening to what I have to say. When they asked me to fix matches, I said I can't do it," he said. "I didn't let anyone know because I didn't think it would go that far. My agent told me to stop contacting them so when they called me later, I said I am not interested."
The Bangladesh board said it was taking the issue 'very seriously'. "We are collecting all the evidence from the reports that we have seen in the news," Jalal Yunus told reporters in Mirpur. "The board president has told me that there will be an inquiry committee, after which we will come to a decision."
Pakistan's Nadeem Ghauri, another umpire named in the sting, also said he was innocent. "I was approached by some TV channel from India who asked me to do an interview through Skype," Ghauri told reporters in Lahore. "They did ask me about the fixing stuff, but I had nothing to say on the topic. They asked me to come to India and be part of their TV shows.
"I have submitted all details to the PCB about my communication with the caller in India. In fact, the company had been offering me not only TV shows appearances, but also league contracts as umpire. I asked them, on the direction of the PCB, to write me officially about the offer and details of the contract, then we will be able to make a decision. They didn't agree; they asked me to come to India to negotiate contract, which wasn't possible due to the visa process. Hence we had communicated through Skype. But then my Indian friend, umpire Anil Chaudary, told me that this is a fake company and have no office based in India. So I disengaged myself from communicating with them."
The ICC is known to have asked India TV to share the tapes of the undercover operation so that the tapes may be examined by its anti-corruption unit and also studied by member boards in order to understand the content of the sting operation and the context in which all statements were said to be made. The tapes seen on TV on Monday night established that the two umpires who had been linked with two World T20 practice matches, did not officiate in any capacity in those matches, either on or off the field.
The future course of action against the umpires, however, will have to be taken by the home boards under whose jurisdiction these umpires are appointed and operate. While it is possible for the ICC to strongly recommend suspension of the umpires pending investigation, the actual decision of suspending them, however, can only be taken by the home boards who appoint them. The ICC could however take action against an umpire found to be in breach of its code of conduct for umpires in an international match. What it would need though is concrete evidence of this breach of conduct or an individual confession of the same.
In the sting, conducted through July and August, the reporters claimed to belong to a sports management company and promised the umpires officiating assignments in events of all kinds around the world, largely domestic Twenty20 leagues. The reporters, who worked undercover, carried out the sting mainly through interviews and conversations via Skype, an internet videophone service.

Various Artists: SXSW Live 2007 [DVD]
South By Southwest is a must-see festival for diehard music fans. This DVD won't replace that experience, but it'll at least give you a good taste.
The SXSW conference is an eclectic gathering of musicians, media representatives, and music business weasels. This new collection of performance highlights from the 2007 edition evidences this inclusive approach. It's but a small sampling of a large meal, yet it is sure to tantalize most everyone's taste buds -- at least once.
The single DVD is broken down into appearances caught at The Bat Bar and The Lone Star Lounge. The Bat Bar's offerings begin with The Bravery's "Honest Mistake". The Bravery is one of the few modern bands that can take familiar '80s synth pop, and somehow make it sound brand new. Next up is Sweden's Peter Bjorn & John, who perform "Young Folks". Who says you can't include whistling in a hit song? PB&J sandwich this un-rock 'n' roll element into its hit tune perfectly. Ozomatli, speaking of eclecticism, is like three or four bands combined into one. You get jazzy horns, hip-grooves and Latin vibes – in the one song "City Of Angels".
Now, I realize Los Lobos has earned the unofficial title of being LA's band; but Ozomatli also represents the West Coast's melting pot particularly well. The Automatic Automatic breaks from this video disc's mix 'n' match approach with a relatively straight rock performance of "Monster". They're followed by the Coldplay-lite (can Coldplay even get lighter?) of Aqualung.
Rickie Lee Jones then sings the opener to her wonderful The Sermon On Exposition Boulevard.
Bowling For Soup's "1985" really should have been the last selection because it would have perfectly book-ended The Bravery's synth pop opener. It's not synth pop, mind you, but it talks about the decade The Bravery sounds like. Alas, that crazy choir/ band Polyphonic Spree caps this first half with "When The Fool Becomes A King".
Fortunately, The Lone Star Lounge continues this DVD's let's-just-throw-everything-in approach. Marc Broussard opens with the great swampy blues of "Home". Next, songstress Rachel Fuller receives special guest guitar help from The Who's Pete Townshend. Then it's back to the blues again with Rocco DeLuca.
In succession, Annuals add an experimental vibe, while Razorlight pumps up the energy with "In The Morning". The best act from The Lone Star Lounge, by far, is Mando Diao, which performs "Long Before Rock & Roll". Mando Diao is also Swedish. (It seems sometimes like those Swedes are taking over rock 'n' roll, doesn't it?) But if the rest of the Swedish scene is even half as good as Mando Diao, I'm all in favor of that. Sweden, I surrender!
This set's lone reggae representative is "Lee "Scratch" Perry. He may be best known as a legendary Kingston producer, but he's also a strangely beautiful solo artist, too. He performs "Kiss The Champion", but you should only kiss him at your own risk. Stars Of Track And Field play "Movies Of Antarctica", which is a big, moody, Morrissey-like dirge. Kraak & Smaak is a great bit of rap-funk, helped along by wonderfully groovy keyboards. Joe Purdy ends this section of the DVD with the tortuous folk-rock "White Picket Fence".
There is also a one extra DVD section of interviews with featured artists, where most, but not all of the performers get face time. It is great fun to watch rocker Andrew WK interview Lee "Scratch" Perry. Just observing Andrew WK trying to make sense of Perry's statements is priceless. Perry ends their talk by asking Andrew, "You love Jesus long time?" To which Andrew answers, "I love all." Before they're finished talking -- but while they're still shaking hands -- Perry adds, "And Jesus is black." This is an example of two freaky guys somehow sharing the same wavelength. Go figure. The DVD set also comes with a booklet that contains brief biographies of the artists.
There's no possible way one measly DVD can ever replace the experience of attending SXSW. I've never been there myself. But trust me, I just know. I have attended Coachella many times, as well as seen the documentary movie about it, and the film just made me want to be there in the flesh. So if this DVD whets your appetite, I think it's done its job.

Hosea Rosenberg's Blackbelly Market is set to open next Tuesday, November 11, in a nondescript east Boulder location that belies the complexity of the operation inside. With his new, expansive kitchen, Rosenberg will run a catering business, a fine-dining restaurant, a salumeria making fresh sausage and cured meats, a butcher shop and market selling housemade packaged foods, and a deli counter serving grab-and-go breakfast items starting at 7 a.m.
See also: Sarto's Brings Metropolitan Italian and Cicchetti Bar to Jefferson Park
It all may seem a little ambitious, but it's been part of Rosenberg's master plan ever since -- or even before -- he won season five of Bravo's Top Chef. "It's deliberate," he states. "Slow and steady wins the race." And while he admits that he would like to have opened the restaurant sooner, the rest -- the early farm-to-table dinners, the upscale catering business, the food truck and the farm -- were all puzzle pieces meant to build a brand that would come together in what is now Blackbelly Market.
"I really needed to be back on the line," says Rosenberg of the final push to get the restaurant doors open. Even with all the planning and running of the business, it's obvious that the chef's passion is for the ingredients and the food. He talks about each minor detail as if it's the most important part of the entire operation: the pulverized sea salt for the frites that sticks to the fries rather than falling to the bottom of the bowl; the grits sourced from "Grit Girl" Georgeanne Ross in Mississippi, who wouldn't sell to Blackbelly until she was convinced they would do right by the ingredient; the 400 pounds of Hatch green chiles that a friend drove up from New Mexico so that the kitchen would have enough of what Rosenberg considers the only real green chile to get them through the winter.
"I want to put myself on the plate," he adds, noting that the posole and other menu details are part of his New Mexico upbringing. But there's as much sophistication as there is comfort on this menu. Hand-made cavatelli pasta have ricotta cheese kneaded into the dough, while a fresh chimichurri receives a hit of lemon just before plating to sharpen the flavors.
General manager Michael Cerretani is focusing on the front of the house and the beverage program, which he says "is not confusing, scary or intimidating. We're a restaurant first, not a cocktail bar." The wine list emphasizes the grape varietals rather than the vintner; the cocktail list is brief and based on recognizable standards. "My foundation in cocktails is all classical," Cerretani adds. "I wrote a list of fifty cocktails any bartender should know." So in addition to the house's mixed drinks, guests will also feel comfortable ordering their favorites without fear of a blank stare from behind the bar.
So what can customers expect? The restaurant itself will open at 4 p.m. next Tuesday for full dinner service; the market will open the following day at 7 a.m. with breakfast items available daily until 10 a.m. For now, Blackbelly won't be open for lunch, but that will soon change. In the meantime, Rosenberg and Cerretani expect a booming happy hour, from 4 to 6 p.m. daily, due to the restaurant's location in a business district on a major commuter corridor between downtown Boulder and the eastern suburbs.
Meat lovers will be able to purchase prime cuts as well as a variety of fresh and cured sausages and other meats hung to age in the temperature- and humidity-controlled display case to take home. Rosenberg says adventurous home cooks can purchase pig heads or trotters, and that anything not in stock can be on hand within 72 hours. For Thanksgiving, he's planning whole brined turkeys that customers can cook at home, or pre-roasted rotisserie turkey that will be ready to serve.

ISLAMABAD Sept 5 (APP) Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq on Monday said that institutionalization is a key to ensure a modern, efficiency-driven and public responsive work environment.
He said that energy crisis – being a major problem in Pakistan – need to be addressed with stern measures through cost-effective reforms in the energy sector.
He said that during his tenure in the office of speakership,
he made sure that this critical issue is addressed by
taking bold initiatives and out of the box solutions.
He was addressing a seminar on Net Metering held at Pakistan Institute for Parliamentary Services (PIPS) here.
Ayaz Sadiq said that when he assumed office in 2013,
he envisioned moving away the National Assembly from a
conventional work environment to modern and automated form.
He said that for that purpose sharp reductions were made in the organizational expenditure and energy audit was conducted leading to exploring alternative source of energy.
He apprised the audience that in his first meeting with the Chinese Ambassador, he asked for Chinese support to shift the Parliament's energy source to solar energy in order to nullify power loss and millions of rupees expenditure.
Speaker National Assembly said that in this regard Green
Parliament Project was initiated that led to establishment of 1 MW solar power project – the first of its kind in the world.
He said that being an environment friendly programme that reduces power usage, this project is a landmark in terms of climate protection addressing global warming threats.
He informed that this project holds the capacity not only
to fulfill Parliament House's energy demands but also to feed
excess energy into national electricity grid.
He said that subsequently Parliament House has been issued
Net-Metering license by NEPRA enabling it to add surplus
energy to the National Grid.
He said that provincial assembly of Punjab has also
expressed its desire to replicate this project in it premises.
Concluding his address, the NA Speaker said that it
is our responsibility to protect the environment for our generations to come as global warming poses serious threats to mother-earth. He said that for his distinguish services in addressing this grave issue, he would suggest the project head of Green Parliament Project Shahid Shoukat's name for Pride of Performance award to be conferred on him by the Government of Pakistan.

Jewish World Review May 5, 2014 / 5 Iyar, 5774
Remember the cruel and unusual death
By Christine M. Flowers
JewishWorldReview.com | Let me, for a brief moment, put on my lawyer�s hat. The Eighth Amendment barring cruel and unusual punishment is not a suggestion. It is a mandate carved in stone. We do not torture, we do not cause undue suffering, we do not stretch the bounds of humanity in the name of vengeance.
Now let me toss that hat to the side.
The merits of the death penalty have been and will continue to be debated as long as justice is viewed through a personal prism. I believe that a society must impose the most draconian punishment for the most heinous crimes, otherwise we do violence to the humanity of the victim. Others have a legitimate, heartfelt and sober belief that the government has no right to essentially �murder� one of its citizens.
But this concern for process, which is important, shouldn�t turn our focus away from the fundamental issue: Capital punishment is legal and constitutional; the cold-blooded murder of innocents is not.
News reports about the 43-minute execution of Clayton Lockett focused on him writhing in pain. This, of course, is horrible. Even a rabid animal elicits sympathy when it�s in the final, foaming agony.
But few mentioned the reason Lockett was on that gurney in the first place with an IV strapped to his arm, the reason that his life was justifiably forfeit: Stephanie Neiman.
Stephanie was shot by Lockett, who then stood by and watched his accomplices bury her alive. I�m guessing that her agony lasted a bit longer than 43 minutes.
It is obviously true that two wrongs do not make a right, but there is really only one wrong here, and that is the vicious extermination of an innocent woman. The botched execution of her murderer is troubling from a procedural standpoint, but it should not blind us to the true tragedy in this case.
The Lockett case is a textbook study in how pro- and anti-death-penalty activists view the issue. Opponents of capital punishment, who are generally but not necessarily liberals, feel that all life (except the unborn variety) is sacred and that society has no right to destroy it even in those cases when this would balance the scales on an �eye for an eye� basis.
Those like me, who favor the death penalty for the most violent and despicable crimes, feel that we are bound by a social contract, and that when it�s broken by an act that falls below the lowest human threshold of decency the appropriate response is execution. Many of us are conservatives, but there are also a good number of liberals and libertarians who have no problem with snuffing out the life of an unrepentant murderer.
Again, this is really not about the morality or legality of the death penalty. It is indeed legal, and while it can be circumscribed by squeamish state governments or limited by the Eighth Amendment, it will remain on the books for generations to come. The morality question is a little tougher, since there are billions of separate moral systems, each bearing the imprint of our separate DNA, but what some see as judicially approved murder others (like me) see as justifiable homicide. Or better, justice.
What angered me the most in the discussion about the horrific nature of Lockett�s execution was the blithe and utter refusal on the part of so many to acknowledge that his suffering was infinitely shorter and, let�s be honest, more deserved, than that of his tragic victim. Forty minutes of pain, of an inability to breathe, of the sense of suffocation as the curtains to your earthly days close upon you is nothing compared to the fear in Stephanie Neiman�s heart as she was shot and then pushed, alive, into a ditch. Imagine her pain when the dirt fell upon her head, clump by clump, and the light was forever shut out. Put yourself in her poor, battered body, stripped of dignity, of comfort, of the concerns of press types and governors and presidential press secretaries. Think of her final moments, and then consider whether half an hour of convulsions is as horrible.
That last paragraph might strike you as sadistic, and perhaps it is. But if the ability to empathize with an innocent, dying woman over the justified final reckoning of a murderer makes me a sadist, I will wear that label with no small pride.
The lawyer in me understands that we are not a nation of vigilantes, and that we must ensure that the people who are executed on our watch are guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. I�m in favor of whatever measures are necessary to make that happen. What I�m not prepared to do is weep crocodile tears for a man who was the victim of a botched execution, when the only reason he was so mightily inconvenienced was because he took an innocent life.

text: It's the Volta now! You know, I've spend a fair amount of time documenting various construction/renovation projects around this neighborhood, but the Volta at 1st & Bell has escaped my notice. Why? Well, probably because it's been in stasis for the better part of a year. It has just been sitting there with a scaffold around it with no activity at all. Even before that, progress was very slow. I learned to ignore it. It was begun in June 2007 and slated for completion in Fall 2008. Yeah, financial crisis Fall 2008. That didn't work out so well. But here it is, almost three years after ground was broken and it's still not done. Yes, it has a new name (in honor of Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery – I kid you not), and its intent has changed by moving down a few rungs on the luxury ladder.

text: Years ago someone coined the phrase "millenial." Almost immediately, this word was associated with personality traits no one would want to be connected with. Millenials are whiny. They can't get jobs after college. They all move back home. They don't understand hard work. They are addicted to their phones. They are so entitled. And on, and on, and on. And, as someone who would be horrified to be described in such a manner, I vehemently opposed being associated with the generation that I may or may not be a part of. Further, when I became a teacher and saw some of the up and comers? Who were also supposedly "millenials?" Oh, you best believe I was going to deny my generational moniker with ever fiber of my being. Some recent events, however, have made me come to a new conclusion: I don't mind being a millenial. I'd even say I am proud of it. Continue reading "I'm Finally Okay with Being a Millenial"

Growing up
One day my Dad took us out for a walk in the woods, and I lost my sandal on purpose 'cause Winnie had a new pair of sandals and I didn't. That's the sort of little devil I was. It was done to get attention, but it didn't really work.
Winnie used to have all the new clothes, because everything was on ration, you used to have coupons, and Winnie used to have to have the new clothes, and I always called myself Second Hand Rose 'cause I always used to have Winnie's left-offs. I used to be pleased when my feet got bigger than Winnie's, I didn't have to have her left-off shoes then."
Family life
"My mother-in-law and father-in-law used to live upstairs and I only had two rooms and a kitchenette, I shared with them. My husband and I used to sleep in the front room with our youngest son, and my daughter and son used to sleep together in the other room. They was getting old enough, my daughter was 17 and my son was nearly 19 and was still sleeping in the same room together. It was a private landlord.
The place was ever so wet and damp, with my youngest son he had asthma, and my daughter was epileptic, I was fighting to get out of my place. My mother-in-law got rehoused. We couldn't use the upstairs because it was so damp, worse than downstairs. I couldn't make my bed 'til night time because of the dampness through the walls, my mattress used to be soaking wet with green mildew. This was 1961, '62 we was put on the council."
Getting married
Winnie was a church-goer, my older sister, and she spoke to the vicar of her church St. Anne's, and he said yes, he'd do a blessing for us. We went to see him, and when we met him, we realised that he used to be Bob's chaplain!
We got to the Registry Office, it was absolutely packed out, all friends and family, over 200 people, and even the vicar turned up there! When we come out of the Registry Office the vicar came up to us, and he said how do you feel? And both Bob and I both said, it was just getting a dog's licence. So he said; "You're not going back home, you're coming with me". So my oldest son drove us to the church.
We had the bells going, the organ going, the choir, and we didn't know! Oh! It was lovely! We had over 300 people there."

Frost & Sullivan: Future is Bright for Myanmar
04 Dec, 2012, 08:46 GMT
BANGKOK, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan is optimistic on the future growth for Myanmar as the country is an untapped new frontier at the crossroads of India, China and South East Asia offering abundant opportunities.
Mr. Vivek Vaidya, Vice President at Frost & Sullivan said that Myanmar was among first few countries US President Barack Obama chose to visit in his second term indicates Myanmar's improving status and image among the global community.
"Myanmar, the only neighbor for both China and India is likely to assume great geo-political-business importance in years to come," he added.
He added that Myanmar has a large untapped potential and is truly going through transition with a population of more than 60 million.
He also that Myanmar's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) has been growing at a very solid rate and is expected to continue to do so over the next few years in the range of 5-6 per cent. He noted that Myanmar's GDP (PPP) has increased by 20 per cent since 2007.
Mr. Vaidya said Myanmar has a very young population spread that will help to drive it economically. He added that the low unemployment rate of about 5 per cent was due to the growth of the agriculture sector, which remains the key driving force of the Myanmar's economy both in terms of GDP and employment.
"There is a large labor force to be tapped into in Myanmar but two-third of this is involved in agriculture, representing about 43 per cent of GDP," he added.
Mr. Vaidya said that most imports into Myanmar are basic commodities not yet manufactured in wide scale in the country and thus show growth potential. He added that the top ten import industries/items for Myanmar in 2011 are petroleum and related products, machinery/spares, steel construction materials, plastic raw materials, palm oil, vehicles and spare parts, pharmaceutical products, ships & boats, cement and fertilizers.
He also said that China has been the leading investor in Myanmar in the last few years, but this is likely to change. "With the market opening up, South East Asian companies are rushing to invest in the country. US/International companies are also doing so, but on a more selective and wait and see nature to get clarity on director and laws of the country," he added.
Mr. Vaidya said that all industry sectors and sub-sectors are of interest, but for the economy to take off and to benefit from Myanmar's location, large infrastructure project covering power, water, ports and roads are needed.
"Oil, gas, power, infrastructure, telecommunications and consumer businesses could top the list in terms of being the most attractive and easier to do investments in the country. Property prices are already very high," he said.
He also said that special economic zones will be required to continue to stimulate both imports and exports, along with ports and roads. He noted that around 300,000 TEUs and 16.7 million tonnes, accounting for close to 100 per cent of Myanmar's cargo, pass through the ports of Yangon and Thilawa. He added that Myanmar will act as a Southern Economic Corridor and Gateway to India, and the three special economic zones being developed are Kyaukphyu, Thilawa and Dawei.
Mr. Vaidya said that Myanmar needs to address its chronic shortage of electricity to ensure continued economic growth. He added that Myanmar's power generation is currently made up of 70 per cent hydro, 24 per cent gas, 4 per cent coal and 2 per cent diesel. He added that current production levels are at 1,350 MW which can drop in summer due to less hydro production against a demand of 1,850 MW. He forecasts demand of about 3,000 MW in 2016.
Mr. Vaidya said that the oil and gas sector offers major opportunities but most likely under Production Sharing Contracts (PSC). He added that state-run MOGE is active in the oil & gas sector, and Myanmar has large reserves of oil and gas both onshore and offshore.
"Other than companies coming into to work with current block licence holders, Myanmar is looking at offering up as many as 10 off-shore and 10 on-shore blocks," he said, adding that altogether 62 of the country's 101 exploration blocks remain open for bidding, including 34 onshore, eight in shallow water, and 20 in deep water.
Mr. Vaidya said that Myanmar's telecommunications sector shows huge potential with only 3 million mobile subscribers out of 60 million people. He added that wireless penetration stands at 4 per cent and fixed at 3 percent, so massive upside for growth but hurdles exist.
"50 per cent of wireless penetration is targeted by 2015 but handset prices are high and registering SIM cards is expensive at about US$150-200," he added.
Mr. Vaidya said that there are abundant opportunities within a wide range of industries in Myanmar but one will need to be patient and get timing and model of entry right in order to be successful in the country.

This is the time of year when people tell each other heartwarming stories about their family holidays and traditions, share warm memories from years gone by, and revel in the joy of the season. Well, that's what I hear anyway. Many of the people I talk to though have somewhere along the line been somewhat traumatized by big family holidays.
I asked my friend what he was doing for Thanksgiving and it seemed simple enough; his mom is coming to town and they will enjoy a nice quiet evening together. Then he mentioned he hasn't spent Thanksgiving with his mom in about 17 years. What could possibly keep them apart for that long? Well of course, the traumatic events of the last time they spent Thanksgiving together.
My friend is quite openly gay and has been for many years; well before 17 years ago. But apparently his mom was still, well let's be generous, confused about what that means. So when my friend arrived for the holiday, there was an extra person at the table. A woman. His mother carefully seated him next to her. Now granted, the woman was a waitress at the pancake house in some tiny town in South Carolina, and was attractive to boot, so it's not like he wasn't tempted. It's just that through no fault of her own she had the wrong parts.
I guess though that mom could not stop herself from continuing the farce, and my friend was having no part of it and reasserted his sexual orientation to Ms. Waitress and family. Mom was getting cattier and cattier and suddenly…honestly, this is when I picked up a pen and asked him if it was OK for me to take notes and blog about whatever was coming next…and it was a doozy… In a huff of anger, his mom lifted the entire turkey over her head and threw it as far as she could. It landed with a thud somewhere in the living room. A full on throw mind you, not just a little sissy toss.
I don't know what happened after that, but I'm guessing no one stayed for dessert. This year, for their first reunion Thanksgiving they're going out to eat which seems a lot safer. I did caution him that if his mom arrived at the airport with a pancake waitress in tow he might want to just bail.
So had his mom always been crazy? Well, off and on, more or less, uh mostly yes. When he was a little boy he was fighting with his sister at the school bus stop and may have gently knocked her face into the dirt in the kindest of ways. Hey, it happens. His sister ran off screaming. The next thing he knows a big green, paneled station wagon comes screeching up. Inside was his sister, smirking, and a woman who jumped out of the car and started coming after him. Rumor has it that this woman had her hair half-teased out, was clad in a cereal stained housecoat, and had a cigarette dangling out of her mouth. Rumor has it that this was his mom. I interrupted to ask if he thought I might be able to find clip art depicting such a scene. That was a tall order, but in my mind his mom looks like…
I just couldn't resist asking about his relationship with his dad. Oh boy-not good. Dad was busy with his own distractions, like three marriages after the parents got divorced, with present wife being a (re)tired stripper, stage name Candi Kane. At least that's what I imagine. Sweet, but with a hard edge. Candi was just a year older than my friend, and has just the tiniest bit of a problem with alcohol. So the last time my friend saw his dad, Candi was upstairs showering and started yelling for help. My friend went running to find Candi stark naked, drunk as a skunk, trying to get the cap off the conditioner. Given that my friend is gay, and Ms. Candi is hardly in stripper shape anymore, he immediately tried to poke his eyes out with a fork, but someone or other stopped him.
So as you gaze around the table this Thanksgiving, be grateful for your and everyone else's sexual orientation, be delighted to either have or not have a stripper in the family, and a little extra thanks if someone does or does not get drunk and naked. And remember that every time a turkey is thrown, an angel gets its wings.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving, although for blog purposes I would love to hear about any drama. Call me.

Increase Your Dealership's Security with a Clean Desk Policy
CategoryCompliance Posts
Physical Data Breach: Visual Hacking and Clean Desks. Updated advertising, new marketing campaigns, manufacturer incentives, and the creation of a sales-friendly environment in your showroom may increase traffic. However, not every person who wanders in will be intent on buying a car. Most may be shopping, but not all may be shopping for a car: paper credit applications on desks, open credit reports on laptops, papers containing sensitive data in the trash, or keys left out on desks are a few of the items malicious actors are looking to exploit at your dealership. Creating and using a Clean Desk Policy can be a very effective first step in securing your dealership from this type of physical data breach resulting from visual hackers.
Consider the following when creating a Clean Desk Policy.
Is there sufficient space for employees to put away papers during the day? Are desks and cabinets locked at the close of business each day and cleaned out regularly? Are employee workstations cleaned out immediately upon termination? Are notebooks, personal calendars, or other media left out and openly accessible? These often contain data such as contact names and phone numbers which a hacker can use in combination with other data to create a false profile. Shared desks may limit the amount of personal information employees leave at the workstation, as well as discourage the "lived-in" look.
Are devices equipped with privacy screens? Is the use of sticky notes with username and passwords on or near devices strictly prohibited? Are devices inventoried and assigned to individual employees? Having devices assigned to groups of users may limit personal responsibility for the security of the device and should be a consideration in equipping workstations.
Portable Devices
Are phones and portable devices such as USB memory sticks available, left out on desks, or shared? Consider placing limitations of what categories of data may be saved to a portable device, especially a personal unencrypted device.
Digital Over Paper
Do employees store duplicate copies, i.e. both paper and digital, of documents with sensitive information simply as a habit? Has management made a point to encourage minimal paper use? When paper is used, are shredders available, locked, and emptied routinely by a reliable third party instead of using open trash bins?
Common Areas
Are all fax and printers cleared of paper as soon as each document is printed? Do employees have permission to shred papers with personal information if found on the machines? Are whiteboards erased after meetings and papers or notebooks cleared from conference rooms when not in use?
Sensitive Data
Are documents containing sensitive data kept segregated in locked offices with locked cabinets? Is access to these areas controlled?
Management Sets the Tone
Finally, does management set the tone and expectations in the dealership by following the Clean Desk Policies and Procedures? When management keeps a consistently tidy workspace with materials organized and regularly cleaned out, employees tend to follow.
Looking for more ways to boost your dealership's compliance? Learn more here.

Canon PowerShot SX230 HS Review
Image Quality
All of the sample images in this Review were taken using the 12 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 3Mb.
The Canon PowerShot SX230 HS produces images of very good quality. It recorded noise-free images at ISO 100, 200 and 400, with some noise and slight colour desaturation at ISO 800. ISO 1600 shows more obvious noise and loss of colour but still remains perfectly usable, and even the fastest setting of ISO 3200 doesn't suffer too badly.
The Canon PowerShot SX230 HS handled chromatic aberrations well, with limited purple fringing effects appearing only in high contrast situations and generally at the edges of the frame. The built-in flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and good overall exposure. The night photograph was excellent, with the maximum shutter speed of 15 seconds being long enough for most after-dark shots.
Anti-shake works very well when hand-holding the camera in low-light conditions or when using the telephoto end of the zoom range. Macro performance is good, allowing you to focus as close as 5cms away from the subject. The images were a little soft straight out of the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS at the default sharpening setting and ideally require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop, or you can change the in-camera setting.
There are 6 ISO settings available on the Canon Powershot SX230 HS. Here are some 100% crops which show the noise levels for each ISO setting:
ISO 100 (100% Crop)
ISO 200 (100% Crop)
ISO 400 (100% Crop)
ISO 800 (100% Crop)
ISO 1600 (100% Crop)
ISO 3200 (100% Crop)
Here are two 100% crops which have been Saved as Web - Quality 50 in Photoshop. The right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop. The out-of-the camera images are a little soft at the default setting ideally and benefit from some further sharpening in a program like Adobe Photoshop. You can also change the in-camera sharpening level to suit your tastes via the My Colors menu option.
Original (100% Crop)
Sharpened (100% Crop)
Focal Range
The Canon Powershot SX230 HS' 14x zoom lens provides a versatile focal length of 28-392mm in 35mm terms, as demonstrated below.
File Quality
The Canon Powershot SX230 HS has 2 different image quality settings available, with Fine being the highest quality option. Here are some 100% crops which show the quality of the various options, with the file size shown in brackets.
|12M Fine (2.76Mb) (100% Crop)
|12M Normal (1.24Mb) (100% Crop)
Chromatic Aberrations
The Canon Powershot SX230 HS handled chromatic aberrations excellently during the review, with limited purple fringing present around the edges of objects in certain high-contrast situations, as shown in the example below.
Example 1 (100% Crop)
The Canon Powershot SX230 HS offers a Macro setting that allows you to focus on a subject that is 5cms away from the camera when the lens is set to wide-angle. The first image shows how close you can get to the subject (in this case a compact flash card). The second image is a 100% crop.
Macro Shot
100% Crop
The flash settings on the Canon Powershot SX230 HS are Auto, Flash On, Slow Synchro, and Flash Off, with Red-eye Correction and Red-Eye Lamp settings available via the Flash Settings main menu option. These shots of a white coloured wall were taken at a distance of 1.5m.
Flash Off - Wide Angle (28mm)
Auto Flash - Wide Angle (28mm)
Flash Off - Telephoto (392mm)
Auto Flash - Telephoto (392mm)
And here are some portrait shots. As you can see, neither the Flash On setting or the Red-Eye Correction option caused any red-eye.
Flash On
|Flash On (100% Crop)
Red-eye Correction
Red-eye Correction (100% Crop)
Night Shot
The Canon Powershot SX230 HS's maximum shutter speed is 15 seconds in the Long Shutter mode, which is good news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 15 seconds at ISO 100. I've included a 100% crop of the image to show what the quality is like. The camera takes the same amount of time again to apply noise reduction, so for example at the 15 second setting the actual exposure takes 30 seconds.

NYT Freelancer Loses Gig Over Thrillist's Jamaica Trip
Last week we ran an article that incorrectly speculated that Newsweek's ethics issue with Thrillist.com's Jamaica Junket for over 100 members of the press would force them to take repercussions against Kurt Soller, a staff writer who took up the invitation. Newsweek contacted us and said Soller was not the issue: He had been given permission by his editor, though the publication still planned to reimburse Thrillist for the trip. No actions were to be taken against Soller.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Mike Albo of The New York Times (also known as the bitingly funny The Underminer), who freelances for the Times as The Critical Shopper. He was fired yesterday after a week-long debate over whether the nature of his taking the trip's freebies constituted an ethical violation. As Albo told NYMag.com's Daily Intel gamely:
"I look forward to trying on cashmere sweaters I can't afford for other publications."

Educating Adolescents
by Kieran Egan - 2008
The prolonged schooling of modern Western societies has posed special challenges for the education of adolescents, that is, those people who are neither children nor adults. Conventional approaches and structures (e.g., begin with the known, the local, the concrete) have been demonstrably unsuccessful, yet continue to be regularly employed. In this chapter Kieran Egan advocates dramatically different strategies based on examining what actually engages the imaginations of adolescents (e.g., electronic games, MTV videos, Archie comics) and adapting some of the same tactics in efforts to educate young people.

Kung Fu has been relied upon as a self-defense method for generations. And, the applications work just as well today as they did centuries ago.

Kung Fu and Tai Chi offer health benefits that go beyond flexibility and inner calm. Both are great exercise, at any age!

Tehillim 32
If we are seeking a right relationship with The Eternal; if we are in a state where you do not know how to get back to Him, Psalm 32 shows us the way.
How blessed are those whose offense is forgiven, those who sin is covered! How blessed those to whom Adonai imputes no guilt, in whose spirit is no deceit! (vs 1-2)
Right away David tells us there is no happiness like that of one whose sins are forgiven. Those of us who have fallen on our faces like the tax collector in Luke 18, who beat his breast, and cried out to The Eternal, "Have mercy on me, sinner that I am!", know the joy that it is to be washed and cleansed from all iniquity. Not only does our Father take away the sin, but the guilt of the sin as well!
When I kept silent, my bones wasted away because of my groaning all day long;
day and night your hand was heavy on me;the sap in me dried up as in a summer drought. (vs 3-4)
Being in sin is like being in a drought. We will not bear fruit. We will dry up and wither away.This is what the guilt feels like. It can effect us mentally AND physically. But -
When I acknowledged my sin to you, when I stopped concealing my guilt,
and said, "I will confess my offenses to Adonai"; then you, you forgave the guilt of my sin. (vs 5-6)
He will lift that burden from you and the weight of your sin will be removed. Before we are slaves to our sin and it is like a heavy yoke weighing us down, but when we repent His forgiveness sets us free.
This is what everyone faithful should pray at a time when you can be found.
Then, when the floodwaters are raging, they will not reach to him. (vs 7)
Yeshua said, "Stay alert, always praying that you will have the strength to escape all the things that will happen and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man." The word translated as "always" actually means at the appointed or fixed time. Yes, there are appointed times when we are to come before Him in prayer. ( See the article "On His Mind" http://www.sarahstent.info/summer2006.html ).
We need to repent! Don't stay complacent! Don't wait until the judgement comes! Seek Adonai while he may be found, call on Him while He is near. Isaiah 55:6
You are a hiding-place for me, you will keep me from distress;
you will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)"I will instruct and teach you
in this way that you are to go; I will give you counsel;
my eyes will be watching you." (vs 7-8)
When He is leading us we cannot take a misstep. He is our teacher, and our counselor. But you have to let Him lead you. Don't try to go your own way. "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:29
Don't be like a horse or mule that has no understanding,that has to be curbed with bit and bridle, or else it won't come near you. Many are the torments of the wicked, but grace surrounds those who trust in Adonai. Be glad in Adonai; rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you upright in heart! (vs 9-11)
While we are preparing for Shabbat, let us all prepare our hearts and minds to come before Him. Take some time to seek His face, confess and repent, so that we can to His Presence on His day, upright in heart and rejoicing!
Shabbat Shalom!
In Yeshua,

It would be our joy to have you as our guest as we gather each week to celebrate Jesus Christ. At Prince, you will find a diverse group of people who are united in their love for Jesus Christ. You will see some people wearing slacks or dresses, some wearing jeans or shorts. We don't want you to worry about what you're wearing, we just want you to come and feel welcome. As you enter through the main doors, you will find greeters to welcome you and answer any questions you might have.
Sunday Adult Community Groups offer a weekly opportunity to study the Bible and enjoy the fellowship of friends in a classroom setting. There are groups for all ages!
We gather corporately each week as a faith family because we have been commanded by God to do so. We believe there are certain things God does when we gather corporately that cannot be accomplished individually. We gather each week to sing Christ-exalting songs, hear Gospel-Centered expositional preaching, encourage one another, and give a visible display of the Gospel in our fellowship, sacrificial service, and worship.
We provide a safe and loving environment for your preschoolers. Each Sunday our toddlers-4's are cared for by our volunteers who provide fun games, crafts, and Biblical teaching where they learn about the love of Jesus. We are located on the first floor of the church.
Learn more about preschool
Every Sunday, your kids will experience a bible teaching in a small group setting we call Community Groups at 9:15 and 10:45 in the upstairs of the church. Here they will be taught the Bible in a way that they can understand from loving, parent volunteers. Kids are encouraged to join their parents in the worship service before or after community groups.
Our students gather together at 9:15 in the upstairs of the church in community groups. They experience deep community with each other while learning Biblical lessons from a loving small group leader. All students worship in the main sanctuary at the 10:45 service.
Our college students gather together in room 1128/1130 to connect with other students and engage in discussion about Biblical truths. All students worship in the main sanctuary at the 10:45 service.

The new 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback finally arrives on the US market. After a long hiatus, Honda is set to bring back the Civic Hatchback to the US. You won't believe that the last time Honda offered a Civic hatchback in the US was in 2003 when the automaker offered a 2-door Civic Si. A non Si Civic hatchback was last offered in 2000 with the 6th-gen Honda Civic. Since then, enthusiasts have been hoping the automaker would bring back the hatch. Finally, the automaker seems to have heard their pleas as it is now confirmed that the Civic Hatchback will hit the US shores this fall.
Already, we have captured the models being loaded to a ship destined to the States. The good news does not end there, Honda has revealed that the hatch will form the basis for a sporty Civic Type-R set to show face sometimes next year as a 2018 model car. Read along for more information:
2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Exterior
Except for the rear, the hatch looks identical to the coupe. At the front, the hatch comes with an attractive fascia that looks futuristic. The hatch looks to have a new mesh grille insert while its broad bumper has a black finish as opposed to silver as is the case on the coupe and sedan. The grille is also flanked by LED headlights which are standard on higher trims and optional on lower trims.
On the flanks, the model features two prominent character creases and heated side mirrors. On the rear, the Civic hatch features C-shaped tail lamps and hoodlines that look identical to front fenders. The rear also features large mesh inserts and a trailing roof spoiler which augurs well with the gently falling roofline.
The rear end is finished off with a diffuser-looking surround for the new dual-exhaust tips which are centrally mounted. Overall, the exterior of the hatch looks quite aggressive and will surely be a hit among many hatchback enthusiasts.
2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Interior
While we have seen the exterior of the car, the interior is still a mystery. However, I expect the hatch interior to largely borrow from the sedan and the coupe. I expect the floating center console, digital instrument cluster and a touch-screen display featured in the coupe and sedan to make it to the hatch. According to Honda, the hatch will offer a 122.9 cubic feet of interior space with a rear legroom spanning a whole 36 inches which means rear passengers will enjoy riding in the hatch.
The model will also feature Honda's Display Audio featuring Android Auto and Apple CarPlay starting on the EX trim and other higher trims. This is a bit of a letdown as automakers are moving to offer infotainment systems as standard features. There are reports that there will be an option for power seats as well as heated front and rear seats.
In terms of safety, Honda's Sensing package which features adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking will be offered as an option to all trim levels except the Sport trim where it is offered as standard.
Engine Specs and performance
Under the hood, the Civic hatchback will feature a single engine. The Mill is the turbocharged 1.5 L, 4-cylinder engine which is offered as an option on the Civic sedan and coupe. The all-aluminum unit features direct injection. It pumps out 174 horses and 162 lb-ft of torque. However, for the Sport and Sport Touring trims, the automaker has added an upgraded high-flow exhaust that helps improve output to 180 horses.
The engine is mated to a CVT system as standard, however, for the LX. Sport and EX trims, it is now possible to order the Civic with a 6-speed Manual gearbox, a relief for many enthusiasts. However, if you are looking for a frugal Civic, then opt for the CVT which is rated to return 31 mpg in city 40 mpg on highway and 34 mpg on combined drives.
If you are in the market for a performance-oriented hatch, you might want to wait for a little bit longer for the next-gen Honda Civic Type-R which is also coming to the States. The Type-R will be based on this Civic hatchback. The model will come packed with a 340 hp power-plant. A Civic Si hatch based on either the coupe or the sedan will also be on offer in 2017.
Price and release date
Honda is yet to announce official prices of the hatchback. Since the model has been missing in the US market for years, there are no price statistics to compare it with leaving us with no choice but to cross borders to Europe.
In Europe, the outgoing hatch starts at £14,470 equivalent to $18,634. With this information, we believe a starting price of around $20,000 in the U.S.A. market is a good guess. The hatch will hit dealerships this fall.
When it hits dealerships, the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback will meet stiff competition from the likes of Volkswagen Golf and Opel Astra.

Healthy Lifestyle
We've found that the key to healthy ageing, whether you're male or female, is not only adopting behaviours that keep us physically well, but also to nurture our mental and social well-being.
In later life, we start to face a wide range of medical conditions from mild complaints to devastating illnesses. Thankfully, there are new medications and surgical techniques developed each year that allow us to better care for our conditions and lead an enjoyable life.
Understanding the impact that a balanced diet and physical activity can have to your health is also very important. A nutritious diet and at least thirty minutes of exercise a day can contribute to a higher quality of life through improved bone and muscle strength, increased mental alertness and improved resistance to illness and disease.
Maintaining a healthy mind is also just as important as a maintaining a healthy body. Many older Australians each year are affected by depression, anxiety or related disorders due to the loss of a loved one, a change in living arrangements or social isolation.
Family and Community
Feeling connected to friends, family and communities is vital to healthy ageing.

AppDNA identifies an application as a web or desktop application by the way that it is imported into AppDNA. Applications that are imported through the Import Web Applications screen are considered to be web applications. All other applications are considered desktop applications.
Desktop applications
Import Windows desktop applications using their installation packages. These can be .msi or any other type of installation package. Alternatively, they can be App-V (.sft or .appv) packages. After you locate the application installation packages, go to the Import Applications screen to import them.
Import desktop applications using any of these methods:
- Direct import. Use to import applications for which you have a Windows Installer (.msi) or App-V (.sft or .appv) package. This is the quickest way to get the application DNA into the database.
- Install Capture. Use to import applications for which you do not have a Windows installer (.msi) or App-V (.sft or .appv) package. Install Capture uses a virtual machine to capture the details of the application's installation and configuration into an MSI which is then imported.
- Self-Provisioning. Use to manage Self-Provisioning, which provides an alternative mechanism for capturing desktop applications for import into AppDNA. The capture takes place on a separate machine from AppDNA. This can be any type of machine (virtual, physical, or VDI). Self-Provisioning can be used to delegate the responsibility for capturing and packaging applications to end users.
Managed applications. If you use Active Directory or Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (Configuration Manager) to deploy applications, you can import applications using the deployed installations. First you load the Active Directory and Configuration Manager data into the AppDNA database. The Active Directory and Configuration Manager data includes organizational units, groups, collections, users, computers, and the installation operations for applications that have been deployed.
After the Active Directory and Configuration Manager data is in the AppDNA database, the Managed Applications screen lists all applications deployed through Active Directory and Configuration Manager. You can select the ones you want to import and AppDNA transfers them to the Import Applications screen where you can import them into AppDNA in the normal way.
When you work with Active Directory and Configuration Manager data in this way, AppDNA creates organization reports. These provide summaries of the status of the managed applications that have been deployed to users and computers in the groups and organizational units that are defined in Active Directory or Configuration Manager.
For more information, see Integrate data from Active Directory and Configuration Manager.
Discovery and rationalization. To find out which Windows applications are used across your enterprise, use the Discover Applications screen. This integrates with, and relies upon, Lakeside SysTrack, which audits and tracks actual application use within the enterprise. The Discover Applications screen pulls in the application auditing information from the SysTrack database and lists the applications that are in use across your organization. This can help you rationalize the applications and decide which you want to migrate to a new platform, for example. You can then import those applications into AppDNA.
For more information, see Discover Applications.
Web applications
You can import web applications into AppDNA by using two different approaches or a combination of both.
- Use the AppDNA directed spider to crawl over the run-time HTML pages and capture them for import into AppDNA.
- Import the web application's source files.
- Combine the output from the directed spider with the web application's source files.
Both approaches can be done from within AppDNA or by using the stand-alone AppDNA Web Application Capture tools.
For more information, see Import web applications.

Class of 2019 MMC TUSM Medical Students Arrive at SMH
June 06, 2017
Timothy A. Churchill, President and CEO of Western Maine Health is pleased to announce the arrival of the Maine Medical Center Tufts University School of Medicine Class of 2019 Medical Students. Adriana Eurich, Scott Merrill and Deidre Michaud will complete their nine month rural medicine clerkship at Stephens Memorial Hospital.
Adriana Eurich was born in Waterville and raised in Millinocket. She graduated from the University of New England where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Biology with a minor in Mathematics. While at UNE, Adriana was an Organic Chemistry teaching assistant, helped co-found the Mathematics Club, and enjoyed educating K-12 students as a Neuroscience Outreach Volunteer. Additionally, she spent two years as a Neuroimmunology research assistant, studying the mechanisms that underlie chronic pain. Eurich states, "What draws me most to the Maine Track is its exposure to rural medicine and emphasis on small-town practice. I couldn't imagine a more perfect fit to help me reach my ultimate goal—becoming a primary care physician in Maine."
Scott was born at Mercy Hospital and raised in Scarborough. He graduated from the University of Maine, Orono with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in chemistry. Scott was a member of the University of Maine Men's Track and Field team for four years, serving as team captain during his senior year. In his time at the University of Maine, he has served in a number of teaching positions that allowed him to aid fellow students in their own endeavors. These experiences helped to shape his career goals by exposing him to the challenges and satisfactions of working with others for their own improvement. Merrill shares, "The state of Maine is in a unique position with respect to the status of medical care and medical education. Completing the Maine Track program will provide me the opportunity to address both of these areas in a state that I have called home my entire life. Working to rectify the largely rural healthcare system in my home state is something that I hope to be able to do as soon as possible."
Deidre Michaud was born at The Aroostook Medical Center in Presque Isle, Maine, and grew up in Madawaska. She graduated cum laude from Bowdoin College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Neuroscience. While at Bowdoin, she worked with the Bowdoin Science Experience program, providing mentorship for students who are traditionally underrepresented in the sciences to help ensure their success. After graduating, Deidre spent time as a clinical research coordinator at Brigham and Women's Hospital, conducting clinical trials and palliative care studies in the Intensive Care Unit. Throughout her time both in Brunswick and in Boston, Deidre has served as a mentor to children in both the Brunswick and Boston communities through programs such as the Big Sister Association and Camp Sunshine. Michaud shares, "I hope that someday everybody has access to quality preventive healthcare, and I want to commit my life to ensuring that small Maine communities are not left out of this picture. Maine has raised me into the person I am today; I am curious, hardworking, and compassionate, all because of my Maine communities. I am thankful for all that they have provided for me, and I am excited to have the opportunity to give back to them as a physician."
