2900's STOLEN FROM MERLO-SEEN ON CENTER ST RUN!

Photos Taken Just Before Air France Plane Crashed





























The two photos attached were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the aircraft, just after the collision/implosion and before the aircraft crashed. The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick. You will never get to see photos like this. In the first photo, there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo, one of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole.
turns out they are phonies

NEW TRINET SITE CONFUSES USERS---official explanation

THE OLD SITE WORKED JUST FINE, BUT YA KNOW HOW BUREAUCRATS WORK, ALWAYS CHANGE THINGS, THAT'S HOW THEY KEEP THEIR JOBS.

After a year of hard work by content developers from each department, cut over to the new and improved TriNET site was completed today. When you look at TriNET you’ll find an entirely new look on the home page. Department pages have also transitioned from the old site to PLONE, our new content management system (CMS).
We wanted a new content management system for several reasons. The new system will be much easier for the content developers but also for users. The “old” TriNET took several complicated steps to update or add content. Another advantage of PLONE is that it is an open-source CMS, meaning that there was no cost to TriMet for the application. It was time to refresh the site and make it more relevant to the times and the people who use the information.
With the new site, employees can easily access information through tabs at the top of each page taking you directly to forms, policies and departments. There is also a tab called “Employee Central” that links to helpful information, such as benefits, payroll, TEI, etc. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for under Employee Central, the search function actually works.
Another feature of the new system is vocational links on the front page. These links are for employees who need to access information about their department quickly and don’t want to spend time searching through the site.
Each department has someone assigned to maintain and add content to TriNET. Organization Development maintains the TriNET front page and must approve any content added to that page. If you have an item that you would like to see on the front page, please contact Susan Jeffries at 4849.
Phase II of the upgrade will be taking place over the next fiscal year. Features of this phase will be an enhanced employee search (formerly phone directory), video hosting, photo galleries, etc. Many of these items will take time to implement but should greatly improve the usability of the site.
Thanks again to the hard work of the content devel
