Upon moving to Colorado, I became an active member of 4 volunteer music organizations – the Cowboy Corral, Symphony in the Valley, the Aspen Choral Society, and High Country Sinfonia. In each, my goal was to serve as an outstanding musical contributor. With Aspen Choral Society and High Country Sinfonia, I quickly became more deeply involved in the organizational and business aspects through appointments to the Boards of Directors. I joined the Board of the Aspen Choral Society at a time when many important organizational changes were occurring. I quickly recognized that the Board would benefit from having the bylaws updated and a more aggressive public relations and fundraising posture. I led the revision of the bylaws, facilitated the entire board in reviewing and discussing options for important changes, identified a volunteer to serve as our general counsel for review and advice, and assisted the Board President with socializing and approving the new bylaws among the full board. I also worked closely with a public relations contractor to develop press releases and a more active social media presence. Behind the scenes, I provide guidance to the Board President based on my previous experience and training as a member of a board for a large national organization. High Country Sinfonia appointed me to their Board in 2020 to assist with their efforts to become a registered non-profit organization in the state of Colorado. That work is ongoing and draws from my experience developing the bylaws and procedures for Aspen Choral Society. My approach to organizing, representing, and advocating for both organizations is to serve the three “duties” of a board member – duty of care, duty of loyalty, and duty of obedience. My aim is to improve their business operations through careful shifts in policy and activity, while honoring the long local traditions of each organization and the deep relationships among and between the long-standing members, board members, and the community members who are our donors and audiences. A second way I actively consider the interests of Colorado organizations is my professional consulting work in public health and strategic planning. I have worked with several governmental organizations or associated entities within Pitkin County including the Board of County Commissioners, the Department of Public Health, the Aspen Pitkin County Housing Authority, and the Pitkin County Elected Officials Transportation Committee (including the Pitkin BoCC, the Aspen City Council, and the Snowmass Village Town Council). In each engagement, I have strived to build rapport, guide the group to a strategic solution, and identify and resolve areas of disagreement all while adhering to the parameters provided by the sponsor/client. This work has given me deep insight into the political structures, realities, and foibles of the government entities within one county and, critically, how those entities relate to their neighboring counties of the Roaring Fork Valley.
During a 25-year career as a Federal uniformed services medical officer (1991-2016), my political activity was limited due to Hatch Act restrictions. Following my retirement (September 1, 2016), I participated in house-to-house canvassing during the 2016 general election. During the 2018 election, I did a small amount of letter writing for the Diane Mitsch Bush campaign (CO-3). During 2020, I have participated in the Eagle County Democratic Caucus and as a district/state delegate in March, served as an Eagle County citizen election judge during the June primary, and briefly volunteered for and participated in one meeting of the Eagle County Democrats this summer. Because of ongoing public health consulting work related to the pandemic, I have not been able to continue my volunteer activities at this time. As I wind down these consulting activities, I plan to serve as a citizen election judge again for the general election in November. My husband and I jointly made small ($10-25) donations to the Hillary Clinton campaign (2016), the National Democratic Party (2018), and the 2018 and 2020 Diane Mitch Bush (CO-3) campaigns.

I love solving big difficult problems. During my time at CDC, I was routinely called upon for special assignments – establishing high-profile programs, leading rapid decision-making units during pandemics, rescuing and rehabilitating programs decimated by political budget cuts. After retirement, I committed to myself that I would use those skills and that passion to help find solutions in my own community and state, rather than just at the Federal government level. I have long been interested in Congressional processes. During my time at CDC, I had the privilege to meet regularly with members of Congress and their staffs to educate them about our programs and answer their questions. I love the idea of democratic representation and finding ways to make that representation really work. Spending the bulk of my career living in a state that was heavily gerrymandered (Georgia) was exceptionally frustrating and something I vowed to take seriously when I was free of the Hatch Act restrictions I was placed under as a Federal uniformed services officer. When I retired and moved to Colorado in 2016, I knew I was moving to a state with many fewer Congressional districts, and that the population size and distribution was the largest determinant of how those districts are structured. The degrees of freedom for creating districts are extremely limited because of this. But the issues facing voters in CO-3 – one of the largest geographical districts in the nation with a relatively small population – must be considered and forcefully advocated for during the redistricting analysis and decision-making. I want to represent that perspective while also recognizing that the commission must make the best decisions for the good of the entire state. I want to apply my analytic, strategic, and negotiation skills to this big, difficult challenge to help the commission succeed in its work.
In my facilitation and strategic planning work, I use several techniques to promote consensus. Chief among these is to ask questions to make sure I fully understand the perspective and contribution of the group members. I also make sure that I carefully draw out both the explicit and implicit criteria people are using to make decisions so that I can find areas where negotiation is possible. I always try to understand my own and others’ self-interests. I also work to reframe conflicts – what is it we already agree on? How can we use those points of agreement to find solutions to meet the enlarged interests of the group – in this case the entire state? When disagreement continues it is usually because the “right” solution has yet to be found. Being creative and drawing on the entire group’s creativity is key. And finally, I aim to always articulate how the group came to its recommendation or solution and what the criteria were. This contributes directly to communications that generate buy-in among stakeholders and so that each member of the commission can faithfully and enthusiastically promote the results of the work. My training as a scientist, manager and leader and my experience in the highly politicized environment of Federal public health instilled in me the need for fairness and impartiality. One cannot lead a team without being fair. Serving as the steward of a Federal budget requires one to be impartial. Federal procurement rules build fairness and impartiality directly into the systems within which I was trained. It is my instinct – through disposition and training – to make decisions based on facts, after considering the pros and cons of all the options, while making the decision criteria explicit, and with a deep understanding of how all stakeholders will feel about the decision. Finally, the most important aspect of promoting consensus and contributing to a fair, impartial and agreeable process is getting to know and appreciate the perspectives of my fellow commissioners. Learning about each other – including who we are and what we value – will be key to the commission’s success.
Medical and public health academic work and applied General Preventive Medicine and Public Health medical residency training all focus on analytic skills. I have an extensive background in conducting analytic studies documented by my publication record (see CV). As a supervisor and manager, I was also responsible for reviewing and approving analytic studies using numerous statistical data sets (including census data). In approaching problems of all kinds, I first look to the available data, seek other sources of information, and apply the strategic negotiation and planning skills described above to best analyze, generate options, and solve a problem.

Returns the Vulkan instance extensions required by GLFW.
This function returns an array of names of Vulkan instance extensions required by GLFW for creating Vulkan surfaces for GLFW windows. If successful, the list will always contains `VK_KHR_surface`, so if you don't require any additional extensions you can pass this list directly to the `VkInstanceCreateInfo` struct.
If Vulkan is not available on the machine, this function returns `NULL` and generates a GLFW_API_UNAVAILABLE error. Call glfwVulkanSupported to check whether Vulkan is available.
If Vulkan is available but no set of extensions allowing window surface creation was found, this function returns `NULL`. You may still use Vulkan for off-screen rendering and compute work.

This is an area on the south west coast of South Island comprising of magnificient fiords. The most notable being Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound. Most of the area is a National Park and there are several off shore Marine Reserves where fishing is restricted. The area is practically uninhabited, so it is important to be very self-sufficient when cruising here.

FREE ENTERPRISE
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Regent Entertainment Director: Robert Meyer Burnett Writer: Mark A. Altman & Robert Meyer Burnett Cast: Rafer Weigel, Eric McCormack, Audie England, Patric Van Horn, William Shatner
In one of the great, adult, sci-fi movies of our time, Michael Anderson's 1976 hit "Logan's Run" starring Michael York, Peter Ustinov and Farah Fawcett Majors, the people active during the year 2174 lead lives of unending pleasure. One catch: at age 30 they are extinguished, kaput. The fable is an obvious one: our own world treats people past 30 as over the hill, and so it's no wonder that the character in Robert Meyer Burnett's surprisingly effective "Free Enterprise" point out that they expect their bodies to start falling apart as they approach their fourth decade of life. "Free Enterprise" is a series of Saturday-Night-Live type skits, though the episodes are bound together in a fairly tight manner, all revolving around two 29-year-olds who are confirmed fans of the 30- year-old TV series "Star Trek."
Why did I find the picture a pleasurable surprise? I had been led to believe that one had to be hard-core sci-fi fan to appreciate it and that at best, the non-devotee would smile at some of the jokes while being embarrassed by the belly laughs of the true disciples seated around the theater. If you're a movie fan in general, though, that's quite enough. In fact even if you go to only film a month, you'll find diversion in focusing on the sharp, edgy conversations between two Trekkies, Robert (Rafer Weigel) and Mark (Eric McCormack), whose first names parallel those of the director and writer of the movie for good reason. An semi-autobiographical tale recounting the delayed coming of age of one successful journalist and one not-so-thriving guy working for a production company, "Free Enterprise" is an ode to L.A., to the cinema, and most of all to the enduring power of friendship.
Both Robert and Mark are Peter Pan types who at age 29 are still talking about the bimbos and others they've been dating and who wonder why they cannot connect with women. Mark is the more down-to-earth fellow, a bespectacled, hard-working dude who is called upon to lend large sums of money to his less flourishing friend, Robert. Both enjoy the pleasures of the flesh with some of California's more liberated women, meeting little resistance to their sexual overtures--though in a hilarious scene, Mark, running into a brief lack of compliance from his German- American date, wins her over with the line, "Considering what your people did to my people during World War II, I'd consider a little breast fondling a minor reparation." The financially challenged Robert seems to spend all his money on laser discs, carrying a home library of every sci-fi movie ever made, and meets the woman of his dreams, Claire (Audie England), in a comic-book emporium. They discover that they like exactly the same literature and films, with Robert as surprised as any that Claire does not consider such fiction to be a guy thing.
Their lives come to a crossroads when they meet their idol, William Shatner (played by William Shatner), the hero of the Star Trek series, who performed in the role of starship Captain James T. Kirk. By discovering that Shatner--whom they first spot browsing at the centerfold of a porno magazine--has as many problems and insecurities as they, the young men feel that they are not at all unique in their difficulties, both ultimately coming to terms with the angst of their age. The awkwardness of their initial meeting is to be repeated in the unpolished manner with which they meet women. "You're the greatest American actor," purrs Robert looking for a way to break the ice, to which the Star Trek hero responds while backing off, "I'm Canadian." "Then you're the greatest Canadian actor," counters Robert, to which the great man answers, "There aren't that many." The three become good friends, the younger men even advising their icon how to pick up girls.
Since "Free Enterprise" does not display retreads of any sci-fi episode save for a quick installment involving a "Logan's Run" dream, the emphasis is not on the world of movies but on the young men themselves. In the roles of this dysfunctional but exceptionally sharp duo, Rafer Weigel and Eric McCormack keep the audience on their toes, the sci-fi enthusiasts gloating over their recognition of the name-drops, the others enjoying the sexual and other escapades of the principals. Shatner is a good sport in his self-deprecatory role: he announces his plan to make a six-hour musical out of Julius Caesar with him in all roles except that of Calpurnia--for whom he wants to cast either Sharon Stone or Julia Roberts. The movie's final scene showing Shatner pitching in with rapper Rated R in a rap monologue of Marc Antony's speech is an embarrassment, but there will be viewers who'd consider this the movie's highlight. All in all "Free Enterprise" is a worthwhile entry in the large pool of coming-of-age comedies, bound to be a hoot for Trekkies, an amusing ride for others.
Rated R. Running Time: 113 minutes. (C) 1999 Harvey Karten
