Nuclear Threat Initiative Inc. released a first-of-its-kind, public baseline assessment of the status of nuclear materials security conditions in 176 countries. The NTI Nuclear Materials Security Index underscores that there is no global consensus about what steps matter most to secure some of the world's most dangerous materials against theft and recommends actions to hold countries accountable, increase transparency and benchmark progress. Released ahead of the March 2012 Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, the NTI Index examines nuclear materials security conditions in 32 countries with one kilogram or more of weapons-usable nuclear materials, as well as in 144 additional states that have less than one kilogram of this material, or none, but could be used as safe havens, staging grounds or transit points for illicit nuclear activities. The report, NTI Nuclear Materials Security Index: Building a Framework for Assurance, Accountability and Action, was developed with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), and assesses countries with weapons-usable nuclear materials across five categories: Quantities and Sites, Security and Control Measures, Global Norms, Domestic Commitments and Capacity, and Societal Factors. The 144 states without weapons-usable materials are assessed across a subset of these categories.
We are a familiar face and trusted friend in central and southwest Minnesota but with a new name. The new name – United Community Action Partnership, Inc. (UCAP) – was adopted through the merging of two organizations (Heartland Community Action and Western Community Action) with a rich history of helping people, changing lives, and working to eliminate poverty in the lives of people in Cottonwood, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Lincoln, Lyon, McLeod, Meeker, Redwood, and Renville counties. UCAP is a joint effort to bring together area resources to effectively and efficiently address the growing needs of our local communities in southwest Minnesota. We continue to hold true to our history of being a “grass-roots” private nonprofit organization that is represented and led by the communities we serve.
The Cincinnati Catholic Cemetery Society offers a variety of services. In addition to operating our three cemeteries, we provide consultation, management, accounting services, and maintenance services to other cemeteries. These services have been available since 1994.

He has taught at the Internal Cemetery and Funeral Home Association College and has given numerous workshops on "safety tips in the maintenance of operational procedures." Steve has given these workshops from the local level through the national level of the cemetery industry. Steve is well-known throughout the industry as a cemetery leader. Steve received both his CCCE (Catholic Certified Cemeterian Executive) and CCE (Certified Cemeterian Executive) in 1996. Butch Abrams has been with the CCCS since 1977.

His most recent efforts have been focused on the Baltimore Pike Cemetery Association. He was responsible for converting Baltimore Pike`s manual books to computer in 1995, when the CCCS was contracted to serve as a consultant in management, maintenance, and accounting.
