Source: The Pueblo Chieftain, Colo.mini storageOct. 26--An area consortium, including Pueblo Community College, will use a recently awarded $900,000 grant to train individuals to join the health information technology workforce.Other partners in the three-year grant from the Department of Health and Human Services are the nonprofit Data Services for Healthcare, Southeast Colorado Area Health Education Center and the Colorado Rural Health Center. DaSH will administer the grant.The partners have identified 12 hospitals in 16 counties that will benefit from the grant, according to DaSH Executive Director Bill Bolt."The grant will allow DaSH and its partners to provide scholarships and placement services to students wishing to obtain a degree in IT or a certificate in HIT from PCC, and are willing to work in a rural, frontier or urban under-served community." Bolt said.The grant partners will work together to recruit, train and place HIT personnel in rural institutions participating in the DaSH network. Colorado Rural Health Center, the State Office of Rural Health and a DaSH partner will assist in promoting 迷你倉he program to rural communities.Initial classes will be offered during the spring 2014 semester. PCC will develop two HIT certificate programs that will be offered online -- HIT management and support, and HIT network security/ technical support. PCC also will augment the HIT medical coding certificate already available there.All students will start by taking prerequisite HIT courses before choosing one of the three certificate program options. The training will conclude with an internship at a rural hospital, which is intended to pave the hiring of these students once they complete their studies. The programs have been approved for financial aid, and scholarships will be designed to encourage students to serve in a rural facility after graduation.Students should be able to complete either of the two new certificate programs in two or three semesters, followed by an internship at a rural network facility.lorettas@chieftain.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Pueblo Chieftain (Pueblo, Colo.)

Source: The Press-Enterprise, Riverside, Calif.mini storageOct. 25--Bus drivers in San Bernardino County say they're growing impatient with the slow pace of contract talks with regional carrier Omnitrans, and both sides say they are looking to a state mediator to help end the impasse.But in the meantime, leaders of Local 1704 of the Amalgamated Transit Union say they are going to step up the pressure on Omnitrans with public demonstrations and informational picket lines at special events the bus company has planned in the next few weeks.Local 1704 represents more than 400 drivers, Jeff Caldwell, president of the local, said on Friday, Oct. 25. The union opened negotiations with Omnitrans in January, but after about nine months, both sides gave up trying to reach an agreement and decided to ask for help."On Sept, 4, we decided it was an impasse," Caldwell said. "We're waiting for a mediator so we can proceed."Caldwell said the drivers are not being offered any salary increase and have gotten no raises in the last five years. He said Omnitrans is offered a deal that would save drivers about $30 on their insurance premiums, but he said that the family plan currently costs workers about $600 per month. He said other issues revolve around surveillance cameras on buses and worker rules for express buses.He said the members have yet to take a vote authorizing a strike, which would put additional pressure on management. "We're not th儲存re yet," Caldwell said.Omnitrans, which carries an estimated 50,000 passengers a day in southern San Bernardino County cities and unincorporated areas, is a public agency that is under the jurisdiction of the county and 15 cities in the area. Representatives of each of those cities and the five members of the county's Board of Supervisors comprise the bus service's board.Wendy Williams, director of marketing for Omnitrans, confirmed that the bus service and the drivers are at an impasse and that mediation is being set up. She declined further comment.Public agency labor stalemates fall under the jurisdiction of the State Mediation and Conciliation Service. Loretta van der Pol, supervising conciliator for the agency, said that a mediator has been assigned and that they were in the process of scheduling sessions.The situation between Omnitrans and Local 1704 is similar to contract negotiations six years ago. Talks started in January, but a deal was not reached until October after the union threatened a strike.A different Amalgamated Transit Union local struck the Bay Area Rapid Transit system earlier this month; a four-day shutdown that snarled traffic in that area.Follow Jack Katzanek on Twitter: @JackKatzanek and check his blog on pe.com/businessCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Press-Enterprise (Riverside, Calif.)

　　一時間，self storage全國各地關於互聯網金融的演講、會議如雨後春筍，並且場場爆滿。浪潮之下，浙商身影自然不會缺位。位於杭州的個人理財App“挖財”團隊的幾位合伙人，也成了這些大會小會的座上賓。　　挖財的好消息確實接連不斷：繼9月獲得IDG千萬美金投資後，10月24日，挖財又宣佈獲得知名投資機構鼎暉的300萬美元A+輪投資。同時，挖財還並購了位於上海的零售金融業咨詢分析公司信策數據，以加快在互聯網金融領域的探索。　　從記賬工具到理財平台　　支付寶的餘額寶上線，6天破百萬用戶，引發網民對互聯網金融的狂熱關注。其實，那段時間悄然上線提供類似理財服務的，還有挖財。　　“前幾年，馬雲說‘銀行不改變，我們就改變銀行’的話時，大家覺得馬雲是在吹牛大話。”其實，挖財在2009年已經在關注理財類產品，但當時移動互聯網、互聯網金融的兩個生態鏈條都不成熟。　　挖財的創始團隊確實等到了一個極具爆發性的互聯網金融市場。很多剛工作沒多久的年輕人都曾有過這樣的感慨，自己每個月都是“月光族”，甚至有時還經常會為不知道花到哪兒去的開銷而透支信用卡，生活過得一塌糊塗，知道自己的存款有多少，但不知道自己的賬單有多少。挖財的誕生，就是基於這樣的場景。作為一款記賬理財類應用，借助移動客戶端，讓使用者清楚自己的錢花在了哪裡，從而實現用戶管理財務的目的，不再讓自己有“糊塗賬”。　　隨著業務和市場需求的不斷發展，在挖財APP中，除了記賬，也逐漸融入了更多功能。如隨著越來越多的人都在使用網購、網上支付的功能，挖財也開發了支持從支付寶輕鬆導入網購數據的功能，方便網購一族輕鬆記賬；為滿足一些用戶的特殊需求而開發了“商旅記賬”“記賬相機”“語音記賬”等子版本產品，增加更多個性化、有吸引力的創新功能。　　在早期記賬功能積攢了足夠的人氣之後，挖財開始跳出“記賬應用”，逐步成為理財平台。因為正如任何一家涉足垂直領域的互聯網公司一樣，挖財的用戶也有著較強的共性——60%的迷利倉財用戶有理財需求，而其“挖財論壇”也已經是國內最活躍的個人理財社區。於是，今年7月，新版挖財推出了“貨幣基金”功能，在應用內便可進行基金購買和贖買。　　未來做平民群體的資產管家　　挖財上線貨幣基金功能的時間點很好，因為六月初餘額寶已經上線了。挖財市場總監英鎊（在挖財，員工選擇一種貨幣作為名字）說，餘額寶的推出，為他們省去了用戶的前期教育工作。　　與餘額寶相比，挖財更加關注為平民群體提供免費服務。“這是互聯網人做金融的優勢。”英鎊說，平等、開放、自由的互聯網精神，恰恰是打破傳統金融中諸多不合理規則的利器。而他們的目標鎖定明確，就是那些以往銀行看不上的中低收入者。　　“其實，這些中低收入者更需要瞭解理財的技巧和服務。”英鎊說，挖財的判斷源自數據，根據挖財對現有用戶的調查統計數據顯示，用戶中收入少于3000元/月的占19%，3000~5000元/月的占28%。這意味著，積累的4000多萬用戶中，將近一半是月收入低於5000元的人群。　　因此，挖財向用戶提供多只基金產品，用戶可以在不同的產品之間做出自己的選擇和判斷。而挖財僅僅選取好的基金產品，提供申購入口，並不收取任何傭金和手續費。　　“挖財更希望未來能成為平民群體的資產管家。”英鎊告訴記者，挖財做的是：第一步，幫助用戶通過記賬、瞭解消費構成，有目的性地控制消費。第二步，幫助用戶理財。比如，挖財會告訴用戶買貨幣基金好，還是買其他理財產品好；以用戶當前的消費和資產構成看，適合買風險較高、還是風險較低的理財產品。　　在接連斬獲風投後，挖財做的第一件事就是挖來一支專業的金融團隊，原信策CEO顧晨煒已經以挖財總裁身份亮相。顧晨煒曾任渣打銀行（香港）管理委員會成員、商務決策部總經理，美國第五大零售銀行第一資本金融公司風控運營部經理及歐洲大陸區風控執行官、資深總監。　　英鎊則介紹，未來挖財上的記賬和理財數據，甚至有可能成為個人信用憑證的一部分，讓記賬和理財數據更有價值。迷你倉

In a country where food taboos are as rich as the culinary culture, you may get a well-meaning warning if you ask for fruit after a crab feast.自存倉Crab, according to Chinese folk sayings, will cause diarrhea when eaten with persimmon, and the list of its incompatible partners — if regional varieties of the legend are counted — also includes grapes, pears among many.Likewise, many other food pairings are described as harmful by the "conflict food" theory, including eggs and soya milk, and honey and Chinese onions. The idea is so popular in China that it appears in cookbooks, talk shows and even the "10 health tips" posted on the walls of some community clinics.But a group of Chinese science writers is determined to debunk folk wisdom.Taboos are groundlessOn Guokr.com, a popular science website, the conflict food theory is listed among the most widespread myths concerning daily life."In fact, most food pairing taboos are groundless," said Xu Lai, the site's chief editor. "Back in 1935, Chinese scientists conducted experiments to discredit such myths."One explanation for the crab and persimmon myth may be that persimmon contains tannic acid, which can cause stomachache in excess, while crabs are prone to rotting. But the risks are the same whether eaten together or separately, an article on Guokr explains.On Guokr, experts scrutinize "ancient wisdom" and pseudoscience, debunking rumors like "a super moon will cause s迷你倉per earthquakes."In August, Guokr became the first comprehensive science website to join Beijing's anti-rumor website alliance, which is guided by the city's Internet regulators and mainly consists of media and web portals.Ji Xiaohua, CEO and founder of Guokr, said the website has been an assembly of young scientists and techies who can aid in the battle against the proliferation of rumors that seem plausible but contradict scientific common sense."Many rumors are cleverly packaged with new technologies and novel ideas, making it difficult for people without scientific backgrounds to recognize them as rumors," Ji said.One example is a recent online post, citing a paper published in the Journal of Environmental Sciences, that said tap water in China is polluted by contraceptives due to excessive use of the drugs in aquaculture.The post, by Dong Liangjie, who claims to be an environmental protection expert, went viral on the Sina Weibo microblog.Guokr contacted the author of the paper, Jiang Weiwei, who through the site accused Dong of misinterpreting his study.The most common rumors Guokr deals with relate to food safety and public health, accounting for nearly half of more than 1,000 rumors collected by the website."The government should improve the overall situation of food safety and restore public confidence so rumors will eventually lose followers," said Fan Hesheng, sociology professor at Anhui University.mini storage

OREM, Utah, Oct.儲存 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to measure the return on marketing technology, Lima Consulting Group and ObservePoint has conducted the first in a series of research to identify the speed and breadth at which tags are being deployed to assist marketers in the e-retailer space. ObservePoint and Lima Consulting audited almost 48,000 pages - a sample of about 500 pages for web site."We believe the proliferation of user experiences will trend towards an increase in the quantity of tags to deliver enhanced digital experiences," said Paul E. Lima, CEO of Lima Consulting. "With the increased capability comes added complexity in managing, integrating and delivering on the promise of big data and personalization. To get there, researchers forecast that within the next three years the CMO will spend more on IT than the CIO but we believe there are a lot of inefficiencies impeding their ability to improving their return on marketing technologies. That's why we've coined the term "Return on Marketing Technologies" RoMT and launched this series of research."The research report titled "The ROI of Marketing Technologies: How the Internet Retailer 100 Stack Up" is the first of its kind to look under the hood of the top e-retailers' sites and assess how each company is deploying and managing their marketing data.To see the visual results of the report, view our infographic here.How it was conductedIn May 2013, Lima Consulting Group (LCG), an online marketing strategy firm, and ObservePoint, a web analytics and tag auditing company, audited the top 100 companies from the 2012 Internet Retailer 500 list using ObservePoint's advanced tag auditing solution.Tag auditing is a systematic, comprehensive evaluation of the current tag configuration on a web site. When an audit is performed, tag-auditing software "crawls" a web site, and executes all of the code on every page. This helps accurately test and confirm the function and configuration of every tag on every page. Tag auditing improves results of marketing technologies deployed within the ever-increasing ecosystem of tag-based marketing solutions.PurposeLima Consulting Group and ObservePoint conducted the research for the following purposes:-- Gain deeper insights on how companies that have a TMS are outperforming those that don't -- Learn best practimini storagees about TMS deployments -- Gain insight on the correlation between load times and site overheadKey FindingsAfter conducting the audit and compiling the data, Lima Consulting Group's experts distilled the data into the following findings:-- Senior marketers are willing to pay a premium in order to improve confidence in their data. -- The IR100 is underserved in the quality of their tag implementations -- Companies with tag management systems are reducing load times, JavaScript errors, and data duplication more than those without a TMS -- Pure-player TMSes outperformed the free solutionsSaid Lima, "Retailers are leaving money on the table because they are overspending on their analytics solutions. They can't rely on their digital marketing data if their implementations are faulty or slow. Organizations that audit and use a TMS are realizing faster page load times, have more agility to respond to market dynamics, and are maximizing their return on their Marketing Technologies investment."The research report is available for download at Lima Consulting's Infographics Page.

Source: Portland Press Herald, MaineOct.mini storage 21--When the news broke last week that Yarmouth-based mapping firm DeLorme had laid off 10 workers as part of a shift toward technology-based products, some of its loyal paper-atlas customers freaked out a bit.The company started getting calls from people worried that it was shifting to a digital-only business model, executives said.That's far from the case, said Kim Stiver, vice president of marketing at DeLorme, which started out publishing the Maine Atlas & Gazetteer in 1976 and has since evolved into a high-tech company."Just because it's paper doesn't mean it's going away," Stiver said.The company has a variety of map products, and a different set of competitors for each type of product it sells.The competition for paper atlases includes major publishers such as Rand McNally, Merriam-Webster and Oxford University Press.Producers of digital maps for the home computer include heavy hitters such as Microsoft and Google.Competing mobile GPS communication and rescue device makers include Magellan, Garmin and Spot LLC.When it comes to mobile devices, the number of firms developing map-based applications is too many to count, one map expert said.Patrick Kennelly, co-director of the Mobile GIS App Development Program at LIU Post university on Long Island in New York, said there are still ample opportunities to combine mapmaking and software development.Mobile digital technology is driving a renaissance in cartography, said Kennelly, a geography professor."It has really made maps so accessible," he said. "It has made a lot more people mapmakers."There are apps that map out restaurant locations, crime rates, schools, homes for sale, and hundreds of other geographic features. Kennelly said it's the ease with which such maps can be produced and updated that has led to their proliferation."Maps really aren't the kind of static documents they used to be," he said.DeLorme never has stopped making paper atlases and maps, which remain a steady part of the business, Stiver said.But it also has been a leader in the development of several technology products, including CD-ROMs, automatic routing, mobile apps, hand-held GPS systems and satellite messaging devices for outdoor adventurers. The company holds 17 patents for a variety of technologies.Like most industries, mapmaking has adjusted to changes in what technology can do and what consumers want, business experts said.In his 2013 book "On the Map," author Simon Garfield argues that the digital revolution has transformed the way people use maps more than any other technological advancement since prehistoric humans first scratched out rough depictions of their surroundings on the walls of caves."The Internet has effected an extraordinary and significant change," Garfield writes. "Now we each stand, individually, at the center of our own map worlds. On our computers, phones and cars, we plot a route not from A to B but from ourselves ... to anywhere of our choosing."The impact of information technology on DeLorme has been equally dramatic, its executives said.DeLorme's foray into the digital world occurred in 1991, when it released Street Atlas USA, one of the first CD-ROM products of any kind for consumers.According to DeLorme, a privately owned company that does not disclose financial information, Street Atlas USA was a huge success that helped establish the entire consumer CD-ROM industry."The decision to put a map on CD-ROM was the first step toward being a tech company," said Jim Skillings, DeLorme's vice president of commercial products.But the two technologies that have affected DeLorme most as a business are satellite communications and the Internet.DeLorme's most recently released technology product, launched earlier this year, is inReach SE, a hand-held device that boasts th儲存 ability to send and receive text messages anywhere on Earth, from the Amazon jungle to the South Pole.It also can pinpoint the user's location for others to see via a Web page or mobile app, and it has an "SOS" button that allows the user to call for a search-and-rescue team in an emergency.The device is now in its third generation and has evolved with each iteration, Skillings said.For example, the latest version of the inReach has its own digital screen for sending and receiving text messages. Previous versions required the user to pair the device with a smartphone or tablet in order to send and receive texts.The device relies on the Iridium satellite constellation, a network of 66 active communications satellites in low-Earth orbit, to send and receive messages from any location on the planet. It costs $300 and requires a service plan that ranges in cost from $10 to $50 a month.While the inReach sounds like something James Bond might use, Skillings said its primary consumer base consists of hikers, climbers, campers, hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts.It might seem strange for a mapmaker to be manufacturing two-way satellite communicators at its headquarters in Maine, but it's not at all unusual for advancements in technology to send traditional industries spinning off in different directions, said Matthew Dean, director of the Maine Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Southern Maine.There is even a term for it, Dean said: "disruptive innovation."Disruptive innovation is an advancement so powerful that it forces an entire industry to change, he said. It has happened in all areas of publishing, including maps, books, magazines and newspapers.It's not a new phenomenon, either, Dean said. Disruptive innovations have been changing the way companies do business for centuries."Think of the printing press," he said.Technology products now make up about 50 percent of DeLorme's revenue, Skillings said. Sales of traditional maps make up another 20 percent, and the rest is from military and government work that DeLorme executives won't talk about in detail.Despite all of the whiz-bang technology DeLorme is developing, the company's core strength remains its ability to produce accurate, detailed and easy-to-use maps, said DeLorme data production manager Shannon Garrity.That process begins by pulling together existing map data from a variety of sources, including satellite imagery, aerial photos, U.S. Geological Survey maps, census data, military maps, public-domain commercial maps, and maps produced by foreign governments, Garrity said."The Soviet government was an incredible group of mapmakers," she said.All of the information is combined to piece together a detailed digital image of the world and all its features, both natural and manmade, creating what Garrity calls a global data set.The accuracy and utility of that global data set is the heart of DeLorme's value as a company, executives said. All of its products, both paper and digital, rely on it.DeLorme's maps have become more accurate and up-to-date as the sources of data have become more diverse. It even uses crowdsourcing as a way to update its products, Garrity said.If customers come across a road or trail that isn't shown on the map, they are encouraged to contact the company about it, she said.In all, technology has taken mapmaking a long way from the old days, Garrity said."Old-school cartographic maps are gorgeous to look at," she said, "but they aren't always as accurate as they could be."J.

Source: Messenger-Inquirer, Owensboro, Ky.儲存倉Oct. 17--Time Warner Cable is implementing a change that will impact some of its customers -- especially those who have not subscribed to digital services.Starting Oct. 22, the cable company will digitize five analog channels -- TV Guide (Ch. 2); WGN (Ch. 5); TBN (Ch. 51); C-Span 2 (Ch. 98); and C-Span (Ch. 99) as well as some public, education and government (PEG) access channels.For those customers without digital services, the change means they will need a way to convert the signal to keep getting the channels.The company will provide a digital converter box free for 60 days for customers who are affected to allow them access to the channels. After 60 days, customers who have not made the conversion will be charged $1.50 more per month for the digital service.Pedelty said customers should note that the five channels are not moving -- they will still be in the same tier. They are changing to digital format.TWC is making the move to digitize channels to accommodate the increasingly broad interests of its customers who want to be able to select more personalized and on-demand services, said Michael Pedelty, vice president of communications."More of our customers are asking for high definition programming and faster Internet speed," Pedelty said. "Our spectrum is finite, and we have to manage our band width effectively."By digitizing select channels and only offering them in digital format, TWC is able to reclaim significant bandwidth since analog channels consume more space.While some TWC customers still just want regular, cable television, about 75 percent of them want to be迷你倉最平able to select the products they want, Pedelty said."We have to adjust to the changing interests of our customers," he said.City and county governments ensured that two things related to digitization were included in the TWC franchise, Attorney Ed Ray said.First, local officials said the PEG channels could be available in either format, but they should continue to be broadcast, Ray said. And second, TWC should maintain a physical presence in Daviess County."The switch from analog to digital is happening nationwide," Ray said. "It was important to elected officials for local residents to have a place to go for Time Warner Cable to help them through any issues with the conversion."TWC has an office at 100 Industrial Drive where customers may go to get questions answered, he said.The city has a Cable Advisory Board, but TWC's digitalization plan would not fall under that board's purview, Ray said. The board was created as a means for the city to get representation from Owensboro entities that originate their own public access television programming. Some of those entities would be city government and city and county schools.The board may advise the city when TWC's contract is negotiated and bring forward any complaints they may have, Ray said.That group may also advise the board how best to use the $30,000 per year over 10 years that TWC provides for public access channels, he said.Joy Campbell, 691-7299, ?jcampbell@messenger-inquirer.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Messenger-Inquirer (Owensboro, Ky.)
