All FalconMedia Century products have been tested and qualified for archival applications by the reputable French National Laboratory, Laboratoire National de Métrologie ET d'Essais (LNE).
Archival Gold CD-R integrates a double reflective Gold and Silver layer to ensure highest compatibility. The Gold layer offers maximum resistance to environmental deterioration, especially to data corrosion which is one of the major causes of disc failure in standard media.

FTI disc spindles provide quick, easy media access and storage. This bulk packaging solution is available in 10, 25, 50 and 100 disc configurations.
FTI has developed an ultra-strong wrapping tape solution for its professional media products. Wrapping tape puts less stress on the discs than conventional shrink wrap, helping to eliminate the potential for warping that could ultimately cause data errors. The discs are horizontally positioned in their specially designed master cartons. This protects the discs from the potential effects of stacking weight, such as surface marks from the stacking ring. For printable surface discs, the disc's horizontal arrangement in FTI's specially designed master carton also helps prevent the printable surfaces from becoming sticky.
Each FTI jewel case accommodates a single piece of media and can easily be stored in a media rack or other shelving.
Jewel cases are available in individual, bundled (3,5, and 20pk) and gift box configurations.
FTI slim jewel cases provide robust disc protection. Each case features a slimmer profile than a traditional jewel case to allow the storage of more discs in the same amount of space. Each FTI slim jewel case stores a single disc.
Slim jewel cases are available in individual, bundled (5, 10 and 20pk) and gift box configurations.
Carton packs are used to ensure that the product remains safe during transportation and in case of unexpected falls. Consequently they were specially conceived to protect the finished product.

At the time of expedition, the carrier receives all necessary paperwork, including shipping orders and commercial invoices. Whenever possible, packaging is optimized by using small units combined to form larger units, considering the generally recognized carrier's dimension and weight limits.
FTI provides shipping to various destinations in Europe, the US and MEA regions. We are familiar with importation norms in foreign countries, shipping methods, export regulations and also foreign trade documents management. We guarantee international transport for shipping, air, land, as well as booking, storage, customs declaration, inspection, insurance, transportation and other services.
To support all distribution operations, FTI owns warehouse logistics in Belgium (for extensive coverage in Europe) and in the US, that not only function as storage solutions but also serve logistic purposes.
Therefore, by pooling all functions together – warehousing, storage, packaging, distribution, return and recovery – FTI can assure A-Z traceability for all orders.
Surfing ahead in competitive market conditions is a survival requisite for any modern business leader.
FTI surpasses this challenge by constantly innovating, delivering impeccable quality and offering a comprehensive product service. This includes several design services in the areas of packaging, printing, consultation, shipment and after sales.
Driving our proficient team of designers is the FTI belief that creative design as the most effective way of getting a product to stand out in the market. The way a product looks is the first feature people notice, even before they test it to see how it functions. That first visual impression affects the entire user experience and will likely determine the product's ultimate success.
We ensure that every element counts, as long as they are both beautiful and useful. In truth, one should keep in mind that design is also a problem-solving process and our designers are most successful when following a systematic approach, just like lab scientists.
At FTI, "Less is more" is not a cliché but a standard. One of the hottest trends in our approach is simplicity. Clean, intuitive and simple artwork derives from combining a great idea with a simple, easy-to-use design and intuitive functionality.
The use of simple color coding to indicate different priorities coupled with the work-as-you-expect movement of items.
Unique and intuitive design, the best way to consistently "read" image contents.
A simple, elegant design with emphasis on color themes.
Optical discs provide accurate recording and long term archiving, enabling users to favor each feature accordingly. Data archiving requirements have grown dramatically in both complexity and urgency, particularly for organizations that handle large amounts of sensitive data, like hospitals, financial institutions and telecommunications companies. Not only all types of data (structured, semi-structured, and unstructured) must be efficiently backed up and reliably stored, they must also be instantly accessible, searchable, and immutable.
Organizing a growing and successful company can generate a significant increase in document storage and indexation for future development. Optimizing information and resources requires good storage and access procedures designed to save management time.
Frequently, management problems include:
Catalogues delivered to wrong recipients,
Delays in following up contract with clients,
Determining the final set of Terms and Conditions offered to a specific customer,
The documents required for employing a new member of staff,
An order confirmation sent by a customer to a sales person absent on a business appointment or simply on vacation
A quality manual procedure misapplied to a sensitive situation
An email sent to one of your colleagues by mistake
A document needed as template for a specific type of contract
Composing a complete history of communications between the company and a supplier about a given contract, just to typify some recurrent situations.
Many people and companies are skeptical about using online digital storage facilities due to the conventional lack of security involved, in spite of passwords and other security measures used to protect data and sites. When a hacker finds the security key to the accounts, all protection becomes useless. However, document management is one of the oldest management disciplines, resulting mainly out of the need to deal with increasing amounts of information within organizations.
Storing data online is definitely a good way to go but, like all technologies, cloud storage has its limitations.
We have listed some circumstances worth thinking about before considering an online storage as the system to back up your files:
Information Access: When your critical information is stored on a local hard drive, or on removable media that you keep stored in your location, you can access it whenever you want. However, if you use an online storage company, you can lose access to your information when the company experiences technical difficulties, such as shutting down the website for maintenance.
Less Control: Since your data is stored in another company's structure, you have less control over it than what you would have if the data was onsite or stored locally on your computer.
Security: Since companies do not have the ability to apply security policies of their own, there is a higher risk of losing data even while it is in transit through the internet.
Internet dependency: Without proper internet connection, it becomes impossible to access both your documents and applications. Cloud computing simply stops working without internet connection.
Privacy: Many organizations are looking for the best hosting service (third party server and cloud hosting vendors), which provide privacy policies for data, files, e-mails, social networking records and everything else stored in hosting.
Downtime: This is a frightful scenario for any business owner, when a site goes offline for some time. Inevitably, this can happen to anyone. Even Amazon, Google and Apple websites face this problem. There are no available solutions to totally prevent downtime episodes.
In December 2010, Honda experienced a data breach that affected 2.2 million customers, whose names, email addresses, vehicle identification numbers (VINs), and credentials for a Honda portal were stolen from a database. This database, however, was not accessed within Honda's infrastructure. This sensitive information was stolen from a cloud-based service provider that Honda did business with.
Later, in 2012, IDC conducted a survey of 671 IT and IT security practitioners. Seventy-seven percent are employed in organizations with a headcount of more than 1,000. Sixty-four percent are positioned at supervisor level or higher.
Eighty percent of respondents believe laptops and other mobile data-bearing devices such as smart phones pose a significant security risk to their organization's networks or enterprise systems because they are not secure.
The worst headaches for IT pros are advanced persistent threats and hacktivism.
Digital Data Management is a difficult task and everyone is searching for the best solution to handle online storage limitations. Organizations need innovative storage and protection solutions, and quick retrieval processes to back up and restore data faster and cheaper. According to new data from IDC, the "digital universe" will grow to 2.7ZB in 2012, up 48% from 2011 and rocketing toward nearly 8.0ZB by 2015.
Concerning mass storage devices, the optical disc is the best proven option for storing large amounts of data. Fortunately, organizations can significantly improve the way they manage, store and retrieve information. Optical Media is widely used for storing data with Falcon Technologies International (FTI), optical media storage CD-R and DVD-R.
Optical discs solved these limitations and issues effectively, proving their value to educationists and businessmen's concerns about handling and managing data. There are several benefits associated with its usage. Surely, the most obvious benefit is that they can easily be taken from one place to another in your handbags and even in your pockets.
Another advantage associated with saving your data files in these discs is that you can find past files with just a few clicks. With conventional methods of storing data with stacks of paper filed together, finding specific data was a tiresome job. Despite all these advantages, optical discs are not costly at all. These electronic devices are really very affordable.
However, the greatest optical media benefit is the little space it requires to store. Moreover, you can use the data indefinitely once it has been recorded on optical discs. You can also create copies in few minutes!
This is certainly the primary argument why optical drives continue to be so relevant until the present day.

Seniors Gain Valuable Experience at Receptor Logic
by gwilson on Oct.20, 2010, under Uncategorized
McMurry's Biomedical Sciences Program is blessed to have a wonderful working relationship with Abilene's premiere biotech company, Receptor Logic. This company is rather new to Abilene but has profoundly changed the industrial landscape of the city. Their pioneering work in the development of T-cell receptor mimics for therapeutic purposes places them in rarified air as one of the few places internationally where such technology is being developed and tested. The close friendship between RL's founder, Dr. Jon Weidanz, and McMurry's BIMS faculty has enabled the placement of McMurry students at RL facilities in the Abilene Life Sciences Accelerator for capstone projects that provide valuable real-world experience.
This semester, McMurry has three students working with RL's scientists. Lauren Bump, recipient of the Danny Cooley Award as the outstanding BIMS student, is completing her Honors research in the lab. Her research will culminate in an Honors thesis this written and defended in December. In this, she will demonstrate the knowledge and skills picked up in BIMS and applied in T-cell work done at RL.
Karlie Dieterich is working at RL this fall to gain experience in immunological research as she applies to graduate programs in immunology. She was encouraged to visit with Dr. Weidanz, an immunologist, to discuss strong programs and career directions. The meeting resulted in her joining his lab as an undergraduate to give her some practical experience in the field. As an Academic All-Conference athlete and top science student, she is living proof that the high level of achievement seen in top athletes often spills over to high achievement in all arenas of life.
Malaney Lopez has extensive experience in the molecular lab, having been one of the prime resources as an undergraduate assistant for prepping and delivering molecular-based courses at McMurry last year. She wanted to hone her skills and give back to RL by volunteering this year without any course credit expected. Her love for molecular work is evident and her future in the field is assured.
In each case, the generosity of Receptor Logic and their commitment to contributing to the education of future biotech scientists is demonstrated. We cannot begin to express our thanks to Receptor Logic and Dr. Weidanz for their contributions to the education of our students.

Nelson to I-R; Bills sign HB White
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Sep 11 2012 11:23AM
Throughout his tenure with the Buffalo Bills, wide receiver David Nelson has made it a habit of escaping what could have been serious injuries to come back in a short amount of time.
After the team's loss to the New York Jets, Nelson's luck ran out.
The third-year wide receiver suffered a torn ACL in the fourth quarter of the Bills' regular season opener, and was placed on Injured Reserve by the team on Tuesday. Before leaving the game with the injury, Nelson had two catches for 31 yards.
Over the course of his first two seasons with the Bills, Nelson amassed 92 catches for 1,011 yards and eight touchdowns. He served as the slot receiver in the team's spread attack.
With an opening on the roster, the Bills have signed running back Johnny White on to the 53-man squad. White was drafted by the team in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He played in 12 games for the Bills last season, carrying the ball 12 times for 38 yards.
He was released on August 31 after losing the battle as the third-string running back to Tashard Choice. White, who previously wore No. 20 before his release, will be No. 29 from this point forward.

Rangers Close Out Regular Season With 1-0 Overtime Defeat
Jim Cerny
Brian Gionta scored on a penalty shot 2:04 into overtime and the Rangers lost their regular season finale to the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 Saturday night at the Bell Centre. Now the Blueshirts can begin preparing for the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, which will begin next week against the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Rangers closed out Alain Vigneault's first season as head coach in New York with 96 points, a 45-31-6 record, and a second-place finish in the Metropolitan Division. They finished the regular season with a 9-2-2 mark in their final 13 games.
The overtime penalty shot was called when Gionta was tripped from behind on a breakaway by Rangers defenseman Raphael Diaz. Gionta proceeded to beat Cam Talbot with a slick move for the game-winner. Talbot was brilliant Saturday, stopping the first 26 shots he faced. That goal by Gionta is the first allowed by Talbot in two starts against the Canadiens this season, covering 122 minutes four seconds of action.
A couple hours before the Rangers faced of with the Canadiens they learned that the Flyers had clinched third place in the Metropolitan Division by virtue of their 4-3 overtime win in Pittsburgh, and thus will be New York's first-round opponent when the playoffs get underway next week. So heading into their final regular season game, the Rangers not only had nothing of substance to play for, but they also finally had an opponent to set their sights on next week.
As such Vigneault opted to sit veterans Dan Girardi and Marty St. Louis on Thursday, while deciding to hold Ryan McDonagh out of the lineup even though the team's top defenseman declared after the morning skate that his injured shoulder was 100 percent healthy. In addition Talbot started in goal, spelling Henrik Lundqvist who had started 19 of the previous 21 games.
Despite all that, the Rangers played a spirited game and controlled much of the action. Derek Dorsett, for one, played with a distinct chip on his shoulder and totaled 19 minutes in penalties over a pair of altercations in the first two periods of play. In the first period after tripping David Desharnais, Dorsett dropped the gloves in a center-ice fight with Francis Bouillon; and then in the second period after P.K. Subban dropped him to the ice with a cross-check and followed with another two hits to his back, Dorsett came up swinging--earning a minor for roughing and a ten-minute misconduct.
Though he didn't receive penalties like Dorsett did, Daniel Carcillo--replacing St. Louis in the lineup--also played a physical game, which included a fairly violent mid-ice collision with Montreal's Brendan Gallagher in the second period--one that left both players shaken up and slow to leave the ice.
The Rangers thought they had broken through against Carey Price with a little more than five minutes to play in the second when Diaz's right wing blast off a slick Rick Nash feed beat Price cleanly, with the red goal light going on, as well. However replays clearly showed that Diaz's shot his the far post flush, with the puck then sliding across to ring the near post, too, before bouncing out of harm's way.
The two goalies traded solid saves throughout, with the most exciting sequence coming during a Rangers power play late in the middle period. Talbot made a big-time save on a Tomas Plekanec shorthanded partial break, with Nash ripping a rising right wing shot on goal only to have it flagged down by Price, one of 41 saves for the Montreal goaltender Saturday night.
After a day off Sunday, the Rangers will begin practicing and preparing for their series with the Flyers on Monday.

I am breastfeeding my 13mnth. old. She feeds a lot, and I have not had a period yet. It will be 2yrs. w/out this May. I was wondering about the age old use of breastfeeding as contraception(since no bleeding yet), plus only have one working ovary, and other one suffers from cysts. That is not it, I am also wondering if there is a way to conceive while breastfeeding, like cutting back or something. Finally I am interested in any women who have gotten pregnant while breastfeeding and their stories.
No announcement yet.
looking for answer, conception during breastfeeding
new posts
I think that using lactation as birth control only really works until the baby starts solids. You are within the normal range of when menses would be expected to return for a breastfeeding mom, so you really don't have any idea when your first fertile period would be.
"Taking Charge of Your Fertility" has some information on this:
There is some information on the LLL site about boosting fertility while breastfeeding:
Sorry I can't offer any personal experience, since conception for me involves medical intervention. But I'm sure you'll find some others here who have stories to share!

stephanie, mama to 3 lovlies ~ simone (5/03), kaiya (12/04), and ezra (5/07).
It IS true that bf'ing can delay ovualtion/menstruation (not with me, however ) but I wouldn't use it as a form of birth control. You just don't know when that one ovary will release an egg for the first time. But...if you're wanting to conceive, increasing the intervals between feedings may help. I've known people who night wean to regain ovulation/fertility and have also heard of women nursing less during the day (when your little one can eat solids more) but continue to nurse on demand overnight.
I got pregnant twice while breastfeeding but I'd had my period for months!?

It is possible to conceive while breastfeeding. While breastfeeding Arianna, I had two pregnancies (Mackenzie and one miscarriage). Your menses will likely return soon even without any changes to your nursing schedule.

Mother to O (4yrs) and E (1.5)
For me I felt that stopping nursing helped me conceive. My first son nursed until he was a little over 2yrs old. I got pregnant 2 mo later. We had already been trying since he was 1 1/2. My menses returned when he was 11mo around the same time we night weaned. So I think some women have very sensitive ovaries to the breastfeeding hormones and some do not. I have asked a lot of people I know how it worked for them also as I contemplated weaning. I certainly would of NOT weaned him if it seemed to be a major source of conflict or stress for him, but he reacted very little luckily. I think your age and health might be factors also and for me I was worried about secondary infertility due to my first baby's c-section. My second was a homebirth I think you should certainly try a while--- still nursing----Who knows until you try! I have heard the you ovulate better if you sleep in a pitch black room!
DS1 was 3 months old when DD was conceived w/o period first. Knew I could be fertile b/c cervical mucus during that time. I was exclusively BFing him but not ECOLOGICALLY BFing him.
DD was 15 months old when period returned & she was 20 months when DS2 was conceived. We practiced ecological BFing w/ her & I was also still BFing DS1.
Here is a site w/ info on ecological BFing that naturally spaces babies. At the bottom it tells the chances of pregnancy at different stages. Hope it helps.

Mom to Liam (b. 7-06) and Seamus (b. 8-08 ) Co-leader API Frederick
I agree with others. Take charge of your fertility is very helpful. I wish there was more research and literature on conceiving while pregnant.
For me, my son was a very frequent night nurser until we night weaned him for the sake of my health at 14 mo. Prior to that, I had an acupuncture treatment when he was 12.5 mo to try to get my fertility back (we wanted children close together). I had two cycles with no ovulation. Then on my third cycle, once we night weaned, I ovulated and got pregnant. I've heard of many women who conceived after nightweaning or after fully weaning as their bodies were so sensitive to all those hormones.
I got pregnant with #2 when #1 was still breastfeeding and only 9 months old. I had not gotten my af back yet either. And it took YEARS to conceive ds1 so we were shocked, shocked, shocked to get pregnant before the first af. But we did.
And ds3 was conceived while I was still nursing ds2 as well. But I had gotten af back by then...it was still very irregular but it was back.
It happens! Good luck!

Mamma to DSO (May 2005), DDL (July 2006) and DSF (Feb 2009).
Out beyond our ideas of right and wrong, there is a field. I'll meet you there.
We spent years trying to concieve DS. (Parts of the reason was due to cysts on both of my ovaries) After he was born he nursed self regulated - at least once per hour - also through the night. When he was about five months I got so sick, For forteen days I really thouth I had gotten something serious - because I felt so bad. Then it came to me like a pleasent but huge shock: "Oh my! Of course! I�m pregnant!!!" - and a test proved me right So regardless of nursing around the clock, cysts, no bleading - there she was!
Before you know it, a soul decides to make its way to you! Hang in there - it will happen!

If you're healthy, near your child all day and night, and breastfeeding on cue, then your body will get pregnant when it's ready. It's kind of nature's way of monitoring things and letting you know when your current child is ready to share a sibling and when your body is ready to make a sibling.
I got pregnant twice while breastfeeding. My son was 17 months when I got pregnant with his sister. My daughter was 14 months when I got pregnant this time. I nursed through pregnancy and tandem nursed and I'm currently nursing through this pregnancy. It's all very possible.Last edited by Angela; 05-28-2008, 04:59 PM. Reason: I meant to say, "higher levels of PROLACTIN," not progesterone.
I was worrying about the same thing when my menses returned today. It was 2 years to the day of my last menses that I had before my daughter was born. About a month ago I noticed a return of my fertile CM. I would say keep an eye on that, because I think it is a great way to get an idea of when you fertility is returning. Like everyone else I strongly recommend TCOYF.

The Commission approved a Memorandum of Understanding between Emery County and USDA, Forest Service Manti-La-Sal National Forest, which gives Emery County Cooperating Agency status. This is a renewal of a memorandum that has existed in the past. The memorandum was presented by Daren Olsen representing the forest service. He said, there have been questions about the forests service plan and involvement with the county on every project. This memorandum will resolve some of those questions and continue until Dec. 31, 2016. Commissioner James Nelson stated, this is an update of an expired memorandum and there appears to be no changes. Rosann Fillmore of the forest service confirmed the difference in this agreement and the agreement that expired in 2007 is that the county is no longer a coordinating agency but is changed to a cooperating agency. The forest service is the coordinating agency. There is no money attached to this agreement.
Kirt Rasmussen was appointed to fill a mid-term vacancy on the board of the Castle Valley Special Service District. The appointment of Martin Wilson to the Southeastern Utah District Health Department Board was ratified by the commission. Approval was also given to advertise for a new board member representing Emery County. Sharon Earl was approved to serve on the Emery County Council on Aging.
The Change Order #2 for the Buckhorn Information Center was discussed. Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said, "Change Order #1 benefited the county $17,143.00. This Change Order #2 will cost the county $10,375.97. There are three items on the change order request. The rest rooms at the site need to be raised due to flooding when it rains. The rest rooms have to be raised about eight inches. That change will cost about $6,692. A gate for pedestrians to walk through the fence will cost $1,500 and a heater/air conditioner cover will cost about $10,000. The cover is needed to protect that piece of machinery from the elements and vandals. This change will put the total cost of the Buckhorn Information Center project at $182,280.90 still below the $189,047 that was bid on the project. This change order should be completed within the next 30 days." The change order 2 was approved.
Approval was given for the 2012 Annual Operating Plan (Modification 2) for law enforcement between Emery County and Manti-La-Sal Forest. This agreement provides weekend and after hours patrol on forest service land. Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk said, "The funds to law enforcement are not very much.
Olsen of the forest service reported the money is divided up throughout the state and everyone is complaining that it is not enough. But there is only so much money in the pot. He said, this is not a local issue, it is across the whole state.
The commission approved the Huntington Airport insurance renewal which was increased $113 per year, which brings the annual total to $2,388.
The commission approved a new water connection for the road shop at Castle Dale and a transfer of one water share to Castle Dale City. To make this connection Castle Dale requested one water share. The road department has requested a two inch connection to allow them to maintain their equipment. Castle Dale will not charge for the connection other than the water share. The Castle Valley Special Service District will make the change. This change needs to be made before they start using salt on the roads. This water connection will help clean the equipment and keep down corrosion on the equipment.
Under citizens concerns: Commissioner Horrocks reminded everyone that on Nov.1 at 10 a.m., the Emery County Public Lands Council will be meeting.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth announced the retirement of Molly Scovill. She has prepared more than 6,000 meals for the senior citizens of Emery County. She started working in a restaurant when she was 16. Scovill was an employee of the Association of Governments and was paid through the AOG by the county. "We thank her for all of the service she has given," said Pitchforth.
Commissioner Horrocks announced that the budgeting process would start today.

Cute Kicks
"I have been complemented on these sneakers every time I've worn them since I bought them. I absolutely love how they look and they work with so many different outfits!They are pretty comfortable to wear but they don't offer much ankle support so if I was going on an all day expedition, I might choose to wear different sneakers. I love wearing them out to dinner or to meet friends though and they look great!"

DENVER – The Legislature on Wednesday passed an extension of a tax deduction for wildfire mitigation, a bill sponsored by Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango.
The state has offered a tax deduction for clearing brush and creating firebreaks around homes, but the deduction is scheduled to expire in July.
Roberts' House Bill 1012 extends the tax benefit through 2024.
It passed the Senate 33-1. It already has passed the House and now goes to Gov. John Hickenlooper for final approval.
The bill allows homeowners to deduct half the cost of their wildfire mitigation work, up to $2,500, from their taxable income. Only about 1,600 Coloradans have taken advantage of the benefit in the last three years.
"This is not as well-known as we'd like it to be. It's not as big as we'd like it to be," Roberts said during debate Friday.
The Falls Creek and Forest Lakes subdivisions in La Plata County have been especially good with fire mitigation and could be helped by the bill, Roberts said.
