Two Montana ski resorts are pooling resources to form one of North America's largest interconnected trail networks: Big Sky Resort, the famed Montana ski resort envisioned in the '60s by TV news legend Chet Huntley, and Moonlight Basin, which made headlines two years ago when it became the first new destination ski area to open in the U.S. in more than 20 years. The two resorts share the same mountain -- Lone Peak, roughly an hour from Bozeman. The combined pass provides lift access to hundreds of acres of stunning summit snowfields that were previously accessible only by hiking. Combined, the two trail networks offer nearly 5,300 acres (2,145 hectares) of ski-able terrain and the second-biggest vertical descent in the US, at 4,350' (1,326 meters). Between them, the two resorts operate 23 lifts.

Kroll, the world’s leading risk consulting company, announces the deployment of an upgraded eSignature technology that improves the efficiency of the background screening process. The technology makes it faster for clients to initiate background check requests, helps to improve turnaround time, and reduces associated screening costs.
Since most background screening information sources, like employers and educational institutions, require that applicants sign an authorization and disclosure form, report turnaround time is directly related to how quickly screening providers receive this form. In most cases, providers are legally required to have these forms before they may start processing many screening services. Therefore, the longer it takes for an applicant to ge 00004000 t the form to the screening provider, the slower the background check will take to process.... (Continue reading)

Student loan debt can add up quickly. And when it does, there are federal programs available to help.
James Tweddell of Springfield, IL, owed nearly $20,000 in student loans, and he couldn't afford the monthly payments that were being demanded of him. That's when Tweddell came to JK Harris and Company for help. The North Charleston-based company is the nation's largest tax resolution firm but also handles student loan issues.
Because he was in default of his student loans, the issues that faced Tweddell were high monthly payments he could not afford and the threat of a wage garnishment by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). JK Harris helped him with both. His student loans were consolidated through Direct Loan Servicing, a Federal Student Loan servicing company, to one monthly payment of $135 instead of $300. And with that, the wage garnishment was prevented as well.... (Continue reading)
As the nursing shortage in the US gets worse, nursing agencies are increasing their bill rates, (and their profits), while paying nurses less than half their bill rates.

According to industry figures, the average contract bill rate is between $60- $80/hour to the Healthcare Delivery Organization, depending on the region of the country. This translates to an average pay for the nurse professional of only $26/hr, according to national statistics.... (Continue reading)
