Dear CorpsJD Users,
On June 30, 2010 at 7:10 pm CorpsJD went “live” with the Arid West Supplement. We packed up six laptops the next week and hauled donkeys to Salt Lake City, Utah for the 2010 Society of Wetland Scientists conference held June 28 to July 2nd. The conference was an incredible meeting of old colleagues, friends and mentors. For the remaining nine supplements, we should have acceptance testing completed by August, 2010. So rather than wait, we’d like you to have access to the beta versions of the remaining nine supplements. We’ll need feedback on what works, what’s okay versus great and what you’d change or think needs to be changed. Please, use CorpsJD; put it through its paces. Send us a support ticket with problems or issues, or simply call us and/or drop an email. We want to hear from you.
At the SWS conference a man from National Wetlands Institute stood up and said that CorpsJD was equivalent to TurboTax for wetlands. Yes! And it’s so much more. We realize that many of you (bankers, lawyers, real estate appraisers, engineers, and title companies, etc.) will want the aquatic assessments and mapping package only and will save the majority of CorpsJD’s strength for the “experts” you hire. The strength of CorpsJD is that it’s created by scientists to simplify the process through automation and technology resulting in error reduction which will save time and costs without reducing quality.
In closing, for a trial period CorpsJD is available FREE of charge. Please provide us with feedback if you find an error. The Arid West Supplement is good to go and the remaining supplements are being tested. If on a particular day you find a function (in the remaining supplements) that seems to missing, please give it an hour as we’re probably deploying something wonderful! Please use and enjoy!
Sincerely,
Lori Carpenter, PWS, CPESC

Dear Lori,
It is with great pleasure that I write to you on behalf of Northern Nevada’s international community and the International Center. You have been selected by your community to receive the Global Citizen Award for your contributions over many years in making Nevada a more global community!
The Global Citizen Award is presented each year to an individual who has worked diligently and without much recognition to bring a vision of a more global society to Northern Nevada and helped to increase awareness of international issues to our community. This award will be presented at the 11th Annual Global Gala on April 2, 2009 at the Peppermill Casino/Tuscany Ballroom along with two other international awards. The other two recipients this year are Dr. Robert Maxson of Sierra Nevada College and Mrs. Dee Gamal-Eldin.
An International Center staff member will contact you next week to go over biographical information we will need for the program booklet. You will receive two complimentary tickets in the mail as well as information about the event. I hope you will be able to receive the award in person!
Lori, congratulations once again on receiving the Global Citizen Award. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this recognition.

A Reno woman who’s been helping get Haitian orphans to their new homes in the U.S. is starting to work on an ambitious project to change Haiti forever.
Story by Ed Pearce, KOLO-TV Channel 8, Reno, Nevada:
These days Lori Carpenter’s thoughts rarely stray from people she knows thousands of miles away in Haiti.
Work continues at her hydrology consulting firm in south Reno, but she works the phone and computer keeping an eye on an orphanage outside Port Au Prince.
Carpenter is on the board of directors of God’s Littlest Angels orphanage and she’s been trying to get some of its children out of the country and trying to get supplies in.
Today’s news is good. Seventy eight children left for new homes in the U-S, making room for a few of the hundreds of thousands of new orphans created by the earthquake.
But Carpenter is also working on an idea that she thinks could change Haiti forever–bringing some Haitian high school students here to finish their education before returning to their homeland.
“We’re hoping that some of these students would come to the U-S, see how we run our society, see how things are done both from a business, cultural and family standpoint and that they would be able to go home and want that for their own culture,”
It’s an ambitious goal. Haiti was born of a slave revolt and has been literally paying the price for the past 2 centuries.
Saddled from the beginning by a crushing national debt imposed by its former French slave masters, cruelly served by a succession of corrupt dictators, it has remained the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere.
Carpenter sees hope for a different Haiti rising from its ruins, inspired by a new generation of Haitians with stronger, more personal ties to its big neighbor to the north.
“We couldn’t feed these people before the earthquake and we can’t feed them now,” she says. That it took this disaster, as sad as it was, maybe something good can come out of it. Maybe we can help haiti on to a sustainable future.”
And she sees this happening, not through some big government program, but through individual families throughout the U-S opening their homes to individual students, much as they do now through exchange programs
The students would take some of our values home with them, Carpenter says, and ties forged during their stay would remain. “Those American families would also be invested in Haiti’s future.”
On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, an 7.0 earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti. As owner of H&C, I would like to take this opportunity to ask that you make donations to relief organizations within Haiti. The agencies located in Haiti were there pre-7.0 and will be there long after the news camera are gone.
Please make a donation to one of them today.
At 7Q10, we’re donating to God’s Littlest Angels Haitian Baby Ministry (GLA) which as been in Haiti for more than 16 years. The mission is run by an American couple, John and Dixie Bickel along with their children and extended family. I’ve volunteered with GLA since 2002 when on my first trip to Haiti I fell in love with a 4 year old Haitian girl. This girl later became my daughter; Dixie made it all possible. Whether you donate to GLA or some other organization – please consider a donation to an organization within Haiti. Some would say that there is no hope for Haiti, and yet in Haiti hope is everywhere. Please won’t you please take the next 10 minutes and donate today? www.glahaiti.org <http://www.glahaiti.org/>
Sincerely,
Lori Carpenter, PWS, CPESE
President of 7Q10
