Announcements and Press Releases Maine Credit Union Movement Provides Kids With Holiday Shopping Tips and an Economic Lesson Tuesday, December 16, 2003 (Westbrook) - Holiday shopping can be a lot of fun for kids and a great financial education lesson as well. That is the message from the Maine Credit Union League this holiday season. In cooperation with the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), the league is providing a list of holiday shopping tips for kids so they can enjoy the holidays and learn how to become financially savvy. "It is never too early for kids to start good saving and spending habits, and what better time for children to begin the process of learning financial responsibility then during the holidays," reflected John Murphy, President of the Maine Credit Union League. "One great way for children to start is by opening a Christmas or Holiday Club account offered at credit unions throughout the State.

Working with the Maine Council on Economic Education, Maine's credit unions have a leading role in youth financial literacy efforts in the State.

Statement of the Case This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator Richard I. Bloch filed by the Agency under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Union filed an opposition to the Agency's exceptions. The Arbitrator ordered the grievant, an overseas teacher, to be compensated for one day at her daily rate and one day of premium pay for her activities at the registration day of a conference, which day was scheduled on October 14, 1991, a Federal holiday. We will modify the award to vacate the award of premium pay. II. Background and Arbitrator's Award In September 1991, the Agency notified its teachers of learning-impaired students of an in-service training conference to be held on Monday, October 14 through Thursday, October 17, 1991. The grievant, a teacher of learning-impaired students, attended the conference. She arrived at the conference on Monday, October 14. Because October 14 was Columbus Day, a Federal holiday, and there was no school scheduled, she was not compensated for the day.

Hunter, Registered Patent Agent This document web explains a variety of technology management activities. They include controlling access to invention data, supervision of invention evaluation and disclosure activities, milestone tracking and reporting. Access Control Intellectual property is most valuable when its owner can control its use. Special care must to taken to control access to patentable intellectual property before a patent application is filed and during the prosecution of the application (i.e., before a patent issues on the application). In addition to legal advantages, commercial advantages can be gained by controlling access to information about new inventions. In general, reasonable measures should be taken to treat such information as a "trade secret" until its release to the public is appropriate. Two types of security should be considered in controlling access to such information: physical security and software security. Physical Security . Physical security involves controlling access to the physical elements of a technology management system.

The foundation has had an ongoing relationship with the California State Department of Education and has coordinated service-learning activities in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, and Texas. "The Cesar E. Chavez Service-Learning Initiative," said Julie Chavez Rodriguez , the foundation's community program officer and one of Chavez's grand daughters, "is taking Cesar's legacy to the next generation in a direct and meaningful way to develop both active citizens and life-long learners."
