BioBlitz 2011: Discover Your Bosque A Giant Scavenger Hunt for Nature, June 10-11 at the Rio Grande Nature Center

Albuquerque, NM—Families, ecology enthusiasts and arm-chair naturalists are invited to participate in BioBlitz 2011: Discover Your Bosque, a biological inventory where scientists, together with the public, explore the living plants and animals found at the Rio Grande Nature Center State Park. This free, public event will be held on Friday, June 10th, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and Saturday, June 11th, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. No registration is necessary, just drop by and stay as long as you like. Parking at the Nature Center is $3.

The event, sponsored by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, The Nature Conservancy, and the Rio Grande Nature Center, is citizen science in action, where adults and children of all ages work in small groups with biologists and other nature experts to inventory the numerous plants and animals found along the Rio Grande bosque. Participants should bring water, food, sturdy footwear, sunscreen, and a hat; and optional items are binoculars, field guides and cameras.

BioBlitzes have been held around the world since 1996 and provide the opportunity for scientists and the public to discover all living things in a given area including birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects, other invertebrates, plants, and other living organisms. Each year, the annual BioBlitz engages the public in real science data collection that experts can analyze and interpret.

“The BioBlitz will be a great opportunity for all of us to realize how interesting the diversity of life is around us. It is like a giant scavenger hunt for nature. It will be so much fun!” says Beth Dillingham, Superintendent of the Rio Grande Nature Center State Park.

“The Rio Grande bosque is one of the crown jewels of New Mexico’s natural heritage. The BioBlitz is a unique opportunity to have a hands-on experience with a fascinating variety of our native plants and animals and to learn more about nature and all that it gives us,” says Terry Sullivan, The Nature Conservancy New Mexico director.

Elena Sweeney, Interim Executive Director of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science said, “Each year our community comes together for this great event. A little curiosity is all you need, and the natural world will do the rest.”

Is Your Business Keeping You Up At Night?

What you can do to sleep more soundly

Provided By: Timo Haugen, Northwestern Mutual When it comes to American business, often it’s the largest companies that garner the most attention. It’s no wonder that many people think these corporate giants are the most important enterprises in our economy.

But of the estimated 29.6 million businesses in the U.S. today, the vast majority – more than 98 percent – actually has fewer than 100 employees.1 Are these companies operating in the shadows of their larger brethren, or do small businesses carry their own weight? Consider the facts.

America’s unsung heroes According to the most recent U.S. Department of Commerce and Bureau of Census data, small businesses employ just over half of all private sector employees; they pay 44 percent of total U.S. private payroll; they’ve generated 64 percent of net new jobs over the past 15 years; they create more than half of this country’s nonfarm private gross domestic product (GDP); and they produce 13 times more patents per employee than larger firms.2 The fact is the United States depends on the health and ingenuity of these small businesses for its overall economic growth.

But as small business owners breathe new life into our economy, a number of issues keep them up at night – namely, how to keep their operations secure and growing even in the face of the ever-changing pressures. Among their concerns are how best to: 1. Attract, retain and incent top quality talent 2. Mitigate and manage risk 3. Create a solid succession strategy, and 4. Meet their business obligations without sacrificing their personal financial security needs.

Finding and keeping employees While the struggle to acquire top talent is certainly not a new challenge for small businesses, the ever-increasing competitive landscape is making the “talent factor” a defining point in a company’s ability to grow. That’s because the success within each stage of a business’ development depends on the experience, knowledge and skill of its employees – in other words, its human capital.

Offering a benefits package tailored to the business can help attract, retain and incent those key people.

Group health is the insurance plan most employees request – it’s also one of the most costly. However, it’s possible to customize a

plan to fit both the needs of your employees as well as your company’s budget. For example, many small employers offer a plan that requires some level of cost-sharing, allowing them to provide health coverage while retaining some control over costs.

Life, disability and long-term care insurance programs are becoming more prevalent among small businesses. They can be provided by the employer or offered via payroll deduction, which enables you to build goodwill among employees without incurring the cost of an expensive benefit program.

Of course, one of the other most requested benefits is an employer-sponsored retirement plan – it’s also one of the most beneficial in terms of employee retention. By providing a way for employees to save for their own future, a qualified retirement plan may also increase the chances they will make a long-term commitment to the business.

Protecting what you’ve built For most business owners, the business itself is often their greatest asset. If something happened to you or your key employees, how would your business continue to operate?

Without proper planning and protection, the disability or death of an owner or key employee could seriously cripple the business you’ve worked so hard to build.

Reporting Identity Theft Can Pay Dividends (NAPS)—You can help protect yourself and the rest of the country from identity theft, an insidious crime that has silently crept up on unwitting consumers, government entities and privately owned businesses.

As millions of Americans fall victim to identity theft each year, they learn how time consuming it is to recover from such an incident. Often unsure of where to start, the frustrations can seem endless for consumers who seek the path to recovery.

For many law enforcement agencies, it can be just as frustrating.

Few law enforcement officers have been offered courses specifically about identity theft, yet they are expected to know how to effectively and swiftly respond to victims seeking their help. In today’s economy, police managers must prioritize their efforts, and generally focus on violent crimes.

Most consumers will automatically contact their banks or other financial institutions. Often, these institutions tell victims they don’t need to report it to the police, because the bank will reimburse the losses and make them whole.

This, however, leaves the police at a great disadvantage. While the companies may make customers financially whole, it doesn’t help protect the next victim; it merely lets thieves continue their activity undetected and unpunished, moving from one

victim to the next. With each new caper, the crooks hone their skills and avoid arrest.

What the public may not know is that law enforcement agencies work together on a daily basis, sharing intelligence, photographs and crime trends in order to protect the public.

That’s why it’s crucial to report incidents of identity theft, regardless of the lack of monetary damage. The same crimes are often committed by the same individuals. Therefore, the more law enforcement knows about crime in the area, the safer the community will be.

The good news is that in several arenas, the lack of education and the lack of reporting is changing.

Websites, such as one by the Federal Trade Commission, provide victims with identity theft kits, containing step-by-step instructions. Many State Attorney General websites provide guidance for victims. The laws, federal and local, are evolving and im­proving, referring directly to the crime of identity theft and offering stiffer penalties. Perhaps best of all, identity theft is now added to law enforcement’s fraud curriculum nationwide.

As law enforcement and legislators work to reduce this crime, consumers must remain vigilant, protect their personal information, and permit American businesses to risk a reduction in customer service in ex-

change for an increase in customer security.

Identity theft is an invasive weed negatively affecting our nation in many ways. With $54 billion in losses each year, the crime of identity theft is adding to our national debt.

It can start with behavior modification. Imagine if, the next time you went out to eat, you refused to hand your credit card to the server who then walks out of your field of vision.

Imagine the intelligence that could be derived if Americans reported the crime of identity theft every time. If Americans work together to shine

a light on identity thieves, we can reduce crime, help fix our economy and secure our country all at the same time. It’s not only priceless, it’s possible.

Further help can be found from a company such as LifeLock, online at www.lifelock.com. It uses up-to-theminute methods to detect, alert, protect and, if necessary, help correct the harm caused by identity theft.

Ms. Frederick is an instructor for the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (LEEDA) and leads identity theft training seminars. With 19 years of law enforcement experience, she has spent her career focusing on fraud and identity theft cases.
