Donald Cooke is Community Maps Evangelist and is transforming civic engagement and streamlining relations between government and citizens - making government more open, efficient and transparent. Ron Walters has been teaching Design Thinking at the University of Idaho, bringing business and design together to provide innovative solutions. With a background in GIS, Architecture and Planning, Ron has brought forth solutions with a geographic component to the business world. Register for the Northwest GIS User Conference and learn from these two professionals. Register for the Northwest GIS User Conference and learn from these two professionals. The conference is quickly approaching . We have worked hard to keep your costs as low as possible. The conference registration price has been kept steady, at or below previous years' prices. Vendor booth prices have been reduced. Sponsorship opportunites have been expanded. Pre-conference training prices have been reduced. Pre-conference training offerings are filling up. A couple of the courses have only 1 or 2 open slots still open. These classes are offered at a discount from regular prices. Courses and workshops include: - Basic ArcGIS Desktop - Advanced ArcGIS: Productivity, Geoprocessing and Analysis - Understanding and Using Python - Introduction to ArcGIS Server - Creating Web Maps with ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS.com - Getting Started with ArcGIS Mobile The Grove Hotel is providing affordable lodging right next door to the conference center in the heart of Boise's vibrant downtown. At $77/night for government and $99/night for corporate, The Grove has reserved a block of rooms for NWGIS, but on September 1 they will release that room block. The prices will still be honored, but room reservations will be as available. We have also arranged discounts for air travel on Horizon Airlines and discounts at downtown Boise restaurants. Your airline promotional code will be supplied with your conference registration confirmation. Your opportunity to save money during conference early registration will also be ending soon. On September 20, prices for all conference events will increase. This is necessary because conference organizers need to start working out details with the conference venues and need a good sense of numbers. This year's Northwest GIS User Conference is shaping up to be a great conference. It is a great opportunity to learn about the latest GIS technologies and swap ideas with your colleagues from across the Pacific Northwest. Register now to ensure your spot at this event.

These are hundreds of spatial analysis functions. Many of which can otherwise only be performed through extensions like Spatial Analyst e.g. Download http://sextante.forge.osor.eu/downloads.html SEXTANTE for ArcGIS webpage: http://sextante.forge.osor.eu/arcgis.html Main Sextante page http://sextante.forge.osor.eu/index.html The current version is still in beta stage but go ahead and enjoy.

She put them in touch with the public safety folks in Multnomah County who dealt with the Kyle Horman case. They worked with the telecom provider to trace the locations of cell phones. According to the information she provided to the Douglas County folks, iPhones like the one Mark has shut down when 10% of the battery life is still available, and the telecom provider has data tracking the location of that phone until the battery is completely depleted. I don't know if the detectives used that information in Douglas County. They told Amy not to tell Mark's family about this potential lead. cy -----Original Message----- From: gis_info-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:gis_info-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Chris_Wayne at nps.gov Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 2:22 PM To: HILL Milton E * EISPD GEO Cc: gis_info-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us; gpl_list at listsmart.osl.state.or.us; ous-gis at listsmart.osl.state.or.us; gis_info at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: Re: [gis_info] Mark Bosworth is still missing Thanks for the continuing updates, Milt.

I didn't hear anything about that level of effort within Douglas County but I would venture to guess something was digitally recorded. The Sheriff's blogposted an image of a hardcopy map that showed SAR areas. I also asked some folks at Metro if some or any of the data they collected would be released and I have not heard back. I hesitated to start a Crowdmapbut after a kick in the pants by one of Mark's colleagues, I decided to post it and it's been well received. I'm sure there are some out there that don't appreciate unofficial/unconventional search tools being thrown into the fray but nothing else was active at the time. Within days, it was retweeted and has reached over 2000 pageviews. Not a huge hit, but still, it gets people looking at a map. I called Douglas County's Sheriff's office as well as Cycle Oregon to make sure it wasn't doing more harm than good. Douglas Co. never responded but they did post it as a link on their website. Jerry Norquist at Cycle Oregon got back to me yesterday and said I should go through someone at Metro or Douglas Co. to make sure it's not conflicting. I figured by now, it's gaining momentum, has had enough hits, and even some possible leads reported. Meanwhile, another Google Mapwas put up to track the flier distribution effort which was one of the categories in Crowdmap so I looked into ways to incorporate that data with the CrowdMap. Fortunately, there is a way to link KMLs live into CrowdMap so both can coexist. My hope is that through both maps, we can crowdsource the effort to get the word out, as well as substantiate leads and ultimately find Mark. Crowdmap has the kind of tools to assist in reporting as well as aggregate feeds from Twitter, News, and direct reports. I can always use help administering the site and approving and verifying reports. The more eyes on these, the more information we have. Let me know if you're interested. - Rafa On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 2:22 PM, wrote: > > Thanks for the continuing updates, Milt.

Some of you may have read on Mark?s blog, *?He had his cell phone but the battery died before he disappeared. There?s been no activity on his phone since that time*.? Mobile devices such as the iPhone power off when the battery is almost (<5%) depleted, but it can still transmit a signal until it is completely depleted. In talking with the Douglas County Investigator, they confirmed that they had only required two of the three types of cell data. The two types they acquired were: data for Idle Mode Query (real time location of the phone) and Call Data Record (showing time and cell sector of last call). We recommended they go beyond asking for a call log of last calls and activity and to aggressively address the Idle Mode data from *the towers in the area.* If the data is available, it is tied to a Cell Tower ID (CID) which identifies the individual antenna that received the signal from the phone. From that they can derive the general location. The carrier (AT&T) could also possibly provide the sector map (modeled propagation map of the antennas coverage area) from that tower. This is usually done in their engineering department but we?ve been told that the carrier?s technicians have this data. It is very difficult to piece all of this together to find out. They have to dig into it. It is a very specialized area with no standardization so no carriers do things the same. This is data that doesn't go into billing statements so it is really a second class citizen, with no standardized format or length of time that the data has been kept (from what we have learned). The purpose of acquiring this data (if available) would be to confirm if Mark left the area and if so - which direction he headed.

I didn't hear anything about that level of effort within Douglas County but I would venture to guess something was digitally recorded. The Sheriff's blog posted an image of a hardcopy map that showed SAR areas. I also asked some folks at Metro if some or any of the data they collected would be released and I have not heard back. I hesitated to start a Crowdmap but after a kick in the pants by one of Mark's colleagues, I decided to post it and it's been well received. I'm sure there are some out there that don't appreciate unofficial/unconventional search tools being thrown into the fray but nothing else was active at the time. Within days, it was retweeted and has reached over 2000 pageviews. Not a huge hit, but still, it gets people looking at a map. I called Douglas County's Sheriff's office as well as Cycle Oregon to make sure it wasn't doing more harm than good. Douglas Co. never responded but they did post it as a link on their website. Jerry Norquist at Cycle Oregon got back to me yesterday and said I should go through someone at Metro or Douglas Co. to make sure it's not conflicting. I figured by now, it's gaining momentum, has had enough hits, and even some possible leads reported. Meanwhile, another Google Map was put up to track the flier distribution effort which was one of the categories in Crowdmap so I looked into ways to incorporate that data with the CrowdMap. Fortunately, there is a way to link KMLs live into CrowdMap so both can coexist. My hope is that through both maps, we can crowdsource the effort to get the word out, as well as substantiate leads and ultimately find Mark. Crowdmap has the kind of tools to assist in reporting as well as aggregate feeds from Twitter, News, and direct reports. I can always use help administering the site and approving and verifying reports. The more eyes on these, the more information we have. Let me know if you're interested. - Rafa On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 2:22 PM, wrote: Thanks for the continuing updates, Milt.

As in the past, we are looking for project ideas for our student teams. If you have a project idea and would like to sponsor a project, we'd love to hear about it. Here's a little bit about what would make a good student project: * Size: should be appropriate for a 3-4 (maybe 5) student project team * Schedule: projects really get into gear January 1st though some planning takes place during the months prior to this. Deliverables are completed in June. * Content: the project should go beyond just data creation in order to give the students a good learning experience. Projects that include several of the following are great: data modeling, data creation, data manipulation, analysis, map production, producing reports, etc * Sponsorship: sponsored projects are usually among the best in terms of student learning opportunity and quality tangible results delivered to the sponsoring organization. Examples include City of Seattle, City of Kirkland, People for Puget Sound, and many more. * Time commitment for sponsors: can vary greatly. Some students interview their sponsors to understand the needs and requirements and then work independently from that point forward. Other projects have very active sponsors who meet several times with the student team, review documents, provide feedback, and receive periodic status reports from the team. Most projects fall somewhere in between of course. I have found that many organizations have perfect candidate projects in tasks that have been lingering on the back-burner for some time. Using students, it is a great way to get some of these small projects done and at the same time provide valuable experiences for the students. In terms of quality, many of the project have had very happy sponsors. Some sponsors have provided great feedback and a few of them have gone on to hire some of the students. I should also mention that our student projects frequently win awards at the annual Washington Status URISA conference. If you have any questions or project ideas, please feel free to contact me. Here's the details that we would need to get started: * Sponsor name and contact information * Name of proposed project * Description of proposed project (short paragraph is fine) Thanks ahead of time. Please feel free to forward this to others as you see fit. -Harvey Arnone (Instructor, UW GIS Certificate Program) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
