CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Permabit Technology Corporation, the innovative leader in data efficiency technology, today announced HIOPS™ Compression, the first inline data reduction solution to address the most demanding primary storage random access workloads, including online transaction processing (OLTP) database environments. HIOPS Compression complements the high performance inline deduplication capabilities of Permabit Albireo Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) for a complete OEM data efficiency solution.
Data growth continues to be one of the biggest challenges IT organizations confront. Structured data requires high performance primary storage and is highly compressible with data reduction rates as high as 5X. Until now, however, storage products serving this market have recommended that compression be turned off due to the performance degradation it causes.
"Many modern storage systems, whether they are all flash arrays or hybrid systems, are adding data efficiency technologies to their systems to target primary storage workloads," notes Ben Woo, Managing Director, Neuralytix. "However, all of these systems are simply too slow to provide the performance required. Permabit's HIOPS Compression combined with Albireo VDO can break that barrier and now offers both compression and deduplication that can provide inline, all the time, data efficiency, which is a huge asset for primary flash, hybrid, and HDD environments."
Testing in Permabit Labs shows that HIOPS Compression with Permabit Albireo VDO can achieve up to 35X storage savings and 650,000 IOPS. The combination can increase performance of an array by up to 25%. Unlike other compression technologies, designed to run on a single CPU core, HIOPS uses parallelization to leverage multicore architectures and is optimized specifically for primary storage. It delivers consistent high speed performance without a performance penalty to the storage system.
HIOPS compression provides the following benefits:
"Data compression has been around for decades, but until now, no storage vendor has been able to meet the performance requirements of the most active primary storage environments," said Tom Cook, Permabit CEO. "HIOPS Compression is a remarkable advancement in data efficiency that delivers competitive advantage and enables our OEM partners to address the $11B OLTP database market with high performance and cost effective solutions."
Albireo VDO with HIOPS is the first and only data efficiency software to offer inline data deduplication, compression and thin provisioning in a single solution. All three of these technologies are must-haves for storage vendors that wish to address typical F1000 performance requirements and to differentiate their products based on the availability of superior data efficiency technologies.
HIOPS compression is a key strength of Permabit's Albireo Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) solutions including the Linux-based VDO and cross-platform eVDO products. VDO provides drop-in data efficiency for Linux-based architectures, delivering HIOPS compression, along with fine-grained (4KB) thin provisioning and data deduplication as a Linux device-mapper module. For non-Linux solutions, the eVDO product provides storage developers with customizable support for their specific OS and block storage layer-specific functions. OEMs around the world have licensed Permabit's technology to gain competitive advantage, accelerate time to market, and differentiate their products including primary flash, hybrid and HDD storage.

By JAMES E. CASTO
For The State Journal
Expanded Federal Express service tops a list of current good news at Tri-State Airport, according to Airport Director Jerry Brienza.
Brienza said the FedEx facility in Huntington has recently doubled its capacity as the company is transferring its Charleston postal freight to its facility at Tri-State Airport. As a result, FedEx has added a second Boeing 757 daily flight in and out of Tri-State.
According to Brienza, Tri-State Airport is home to the only FedEx Express ramp-sort facility in the state of West Virginia and is the only company in the state that can handle "heavy" air freight, over 1200 lbs.
The airport director said the two daily B-757 flights will benefit HTS through fuel sales, as "the company has been good about purchasing some fuel in Huntington, as well as Memphis. Hopefully, the more FedEx does in Huntington, the more it will see what we have to offer and might consider another expansion here."
Meanwhile, Marketing Director Beckie McKinley, writing in the airport's current newsletter, reports that larger Allegiant aircraft will soon be arriving at Tri-State Airport and USA Airways has added a fourth flight to Charlotte to itsSunday schedule.
Passengers will soon be experiencing "more comfortable, quieter, and larger aircraft" on their non-stop flights to and from Orlando/Daytona Beach and Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg Florida. McKinley said. "Allegiant is replacing the current MD-80 aircraft with 177-seat Airbus A320 jets on its Huntington/Florida routes within the next couple of weeks. The Airbus seats will be more comfortable for passengers because they are about an inch wider, and a larger cabin allows for six seats per row instead of the MD-80s' five."
McKinley said US Air's addition of a fourth flight to its Sunday schedule should be "welcomed by both business travelers and leisure passengers alike." The flight departs at 5:57 p.m. from Huntington to Charlotte, and arrives back at HTS at 9:27 p.m. "The additional flight will allow business travelers to get a jump-start on their travel itinerary and be at their destination ready to go for Monday morning business. The flight will also benefit travelers who want to maximize their weekend time away from home, by returning later in the evening."

My peanut butter taste test
What 8 choosy family members really picked.
This guest post comes from Len Penzo at Len Penzo dot Com.
Before the average American kid gets a high school diploma, he or she will supposedly eat 1,500 peanut butter sandwiches.
Americans' passion for peanut butter doesn't stop after childhood, though. Somewhat ironically, adults eat more peanut butter than kids. In fact, almost $800 million is spent each year on the sticky stuff, which makes it one of the most frequently purchased grocery store products.
Smooth vs. chunky
According to Skippy, 60% of consumers prefer smooth peanut butter to the chunky stuff. The smooth variety is also preferred by women, children and folks living on the East Coast.
That being said, the majority of men prefer their peanut butter to be chunky, as do people living on the West Coast. Go figure.
Personally, I do not see how anybody can eat chunky peanut butter. First off, it's just not natural; peanut butter is meant to have a creamy texture.
- Calculator: Is your budget in balance?
That being said, if I had to pin down the biggest reason why I detest chunky peanut butter, I'd have to say it's just too distracting. See, when I bite into a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I don't want to be feeling chunks of anything in my mouth. Yes, the odds are good that those chunks are nothing more than chopped peanuts. But what if they aren't?
I don't know about you, but whenever I bite into a PB&J sandwich and end up crunching on something, I immediately spit it out and perform a thorough forensic analysis to make sure the offending item isn't a baby cockroach. But I digress.
How the test was conducted
As with most of my other product taste tests, I recruited a bunch of family members as an expert panel. For this experiment I managed to round up eight fearless volunteers (plus the dog, of course).
With the panel in place, I placed five jars of smooth peanut butter on the table. To ensure the taste test was a blind comparison, the original labels were removed and replaced with generic markings "A" through "E."
As with my recent ketchup taste test, the experts were asked to taste and then rank each peanut butter for taste and texture, from best to worst, with five points for the top performer and one point for the worst. The panel was also free to note any accompanying comments they had regarding each sample.
When comparing products, panelists who could not discern a clear taste advantage between two or more brands were allowed to give identical rankings.
In another completely unscientific bonus test, I also utilized the dog to evaluate the smoothness of each peanut butter brand. To do that I gave our pampered pooch a teaspoon of the peanut butter and then counted how many licks it took him to completely swallow the sample. My hypothesis is that more licks suggests a creamier peanut butter.
(I dare you to find that kind of creative analysis from Consumer Reports, folks.)
Introducing the competitors
I ran down to my local Albertsons supermarket and bought five brands of smooth peanut butter. To keep things as close to a peanuts-to-peanuts comparison as possible, I purposely avoided organic and other "natural" peanut butters.
Here now, in reverse order, is a summary of the peanut butter taste test results, based upon the inputs of my expert panel:
5. Peter Pan peanut butter
Price per ounce: 21 cents.
Panel scoring: 25 points.
Average score (5-point scale): 2.8.
Human judges who deemed it the best: 2.
Creaminess meter: 78 licks.
Although it did manage to score two blue ribbons from the panelists, for the most part Peter Pan didn't fare so well with the rest of the experts. Aunt Doris lauded the Peter Pan for its "fresh peanut flavor." On the other hand, Nina wasn't impressed. She wrote down this one-word evaluation: "crappy" (along with a smiley face). As for the dog, it took him a relatively quick 78 licks to get it down, suggesting this peanut butter was the least creamiest of all brands sampled.
4. Shoppers Value peanut butter
Price per ounce: 15 cents (the least expensive brand sampled).
Panel scoring: 28 points.
Average score (5-point scale): 3.1.
Human judges who deemed it the best: 2.
Creaminess meter: 80 licks.
Unfortunately, the least expensive brand in our survey didn't impress the overall panel too much. Still, Shoppers Value did pick up two votes for best-tasting peanut butter. In fact, my father-in-law, Tony, declared it to be the best-tasting peanut butter "hands down!" Don't tell that to the Honeybee; she gave Shoppers Value the lowest marks because it was "too oily." (Considering Tony is a mechanic, maybe that's why he liked it so much.)
3. Skippy peanut butter
Price per ounce: 22 cents (the most expensive brand sampled).
Panel scoring: 28 points.
Average score (5-point scale): 3.1.
Human judges who deemed it the best: 2.
Creaminess meter: 103 licks.
Even though Skippy was the most expensive peanut butter sampled, it didn't perform as well as one might expect; only one other brand had as many poor marks. Still, it did garner two blue ribbons for the best tasting peanut butter. Both Nina and the Honeybee gave Skippy high marks for smoothness. If the dog is any indication, their assessment is spot on -- at 103 licks, this peanut butter gave Major's tongue its biggest workout.
2. Jif peanut butter
Price per ounce: 21 cents.
Panel scoring: 30 points.
Average score (5-point scale): 3.3.
Human judges who deemed it the best: 1.
Creaminess meter: 89 licks.
Chris was the only choosy mother from the panel to give Jif a blue ribbon for best peanut butter. Three other panelists gave Jif runner-up ribbons. As an aside, Jif is the only major brand in the survey that still comes in 18-ounce jars; both Skippy and Peter Pan reduced the size of their jars to 16.3 ounces several years ago.
1. Albertsons peanut butter
Price per ounce: 18 cents.
Panel scoring: 34 points.
Average score (5-point scale): 3.8.
Human judges who deemed it the best: 1.
Creaminess meter: 95 licks.
In an impressive display of peanut butter performance, the passion of the panel participants was patently obvious; all eight experts ranked the Albertsons store brand no worse than third best. In addition to three runner-up votes, it also received a blue ribbon from my mom, Judy, who noted that it had the best combination of taste and smoothness.
The bottom line
The first lesson to be learned from this test actually has nothing to do with taste. Instead, remember to always be careful when comparing the prices of different peanut butters because some manufacturers -- notably Peter Pan and Skippy -- have subtly reduced package sizes that can fool unwary consumers who may be comparison shopping.
As for the second lesson, it's the same old story: Never blindly assume a name-brand product is always superior. In this case, two of the three national labels ended up with more blue ribbons than the Albertsons store brand. However, in the end, they all lacked the broad-based appeal required to come out on top in the eyes of the entire panel.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - Officials say a Bridgeport student faces expulsion after he allegedly falsely told police gunshots were filling a classroom.
Police confirmed to the Connecticut Post that the call made from a cell phone around 2 p.m. Thursday was a hoax and no students were injured. They said the boy is a student at Blackham School, which serves pre-kindergarten through grade 8, but would not release his identity because of his age.
The call prompted more than two dozen officers rushing to protect the school's students and the school was placed on lockdown.
Investigators were trying to determine what criminal charges, if any, he will face.
Bridgeport Schools Superintendent Paul G. Vallas says the student will not be returning to Blackham.

Stocks slide following the European Central Bank president's press conference.
"Draghi Doesn't Back Up The Talk"
"The president of the European Central Bank doesn't deliver on his promises to keep the euro 'irreversible'
Did anyone really believe that Draghi was going to do what he promised? But of course when he announced his "pledge" the market "soared" over 200 points but now he isn't going to go thru with his promise....shouldn't the market go down by the same amount? This is the major issue I have with this manipulated false market. It goes way up on any shred of positive news but hardly goes down at all on major negative news like a horrible housing report, bad jobs report, company layoffs, inflation etc. All of which points to a manipulated market.

Chocolate-infused rum
Ingredients: 1 part chocolate pieces (cocoa nibs are suggested; I used regular chocolate) to 2 parts rum (if you like coconut, use coconut rum). Shake and infuse in an airtight container for one day.
Source: DIY Cocktails
I wasn't sure what to expect from this combination, but it turned out really well. I was shocked by how quickly the flavor of chocolate infused into the rum. Probably one of the most successful infusions I've made so far, and that's saying a lot.
What do you make from this chocolatey liquor? Stay tuned!

100 'Very Best' Restaurants in D.C.: The Source is No. 3
WASHINGTON — The Source by Wolfgang Puck was voted No. 3 among the 100 best restaurants in Washington, D.C., according to a survey by Washingtonian magazine.
In its annual search for the best restaurants in the Washington, D.C., area, the magazine looked for "memorable cooking that communicates a sense of place or personal expression," and service that gives guests "the feeling of being pampered."
"Puck … knows what works and what doesn't, and he also knows the key is to achieve a synthesis, to produce a kind of exotic neither/nor," the magazine said.
The Source by Wolfgang Puck is located at the Newseum at 575 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. Entrance is on 6th Street. The dining room is open for lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner Monday through Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday until 11 p.m. The bar is open from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2004 Conde de Valdemar Gran Reserva is a blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo, and 5% Graciano aged for 26 months in French and American oak. Made in a traditional style, it is already beginning to show aromatic complexity from its extended aging. Cedar, leather, Asian spices, incense, black cherry, and blackberry lead to a rich, elegant, plush wine in the style of the superb 2004 vintage. Flavorful, stylish, and lengthy, it will continue to blossom with several more years of cellaring and drink well through 2024.
"Ripened to pomegranate-scented blackness, this is an austere take on the 2004 vintage. There's a vegetal note in the tannins hinting at tobacco leaf and dried herbs, balancing the tart Bing cherry and dried red fruit character. A mature, lamby red."

The Martinez Bujanda family, producers of Valdemar wines, founded their original winery in 1889. They own 820 acres of vineyards, which makes Valdemar one of the largest estates in the Rioja. A new winery was built in 1984 to take advantage of modern technologies, integrating both new and time-honored traditions of winemaking.

Once the only DOCa (recently joined by Priorat in 2001), Rioja is divided into 3 sub-regions: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa. There are 4 red varieties and 3 white varieties allowed in the Rioja DOC. Tempranillo definitely takes center stage, followed by Garnacha...Read More About Rioja

Dr. Jeff Godin, Ph.D., CSCS, & Spartan Coach
What if there was a disease that afflicted 36% of the population in the United States of America, roughly about 78 million people? What if this disease was strongly related to other debilitating and life-halting diseases such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and diabetes? Which Hollywood celebrity would start a foundation to crush this horrible disease?
The disease is obesity. On June 18th, 2013 the American Medical Association officially declared obesity a disease. This means that it will become a physician's professional obligation to treat patients with obesity, the same way they would treat other diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. The optimist in me says that this will create a healthy discussion between the patient and physician on the health implications of obesity and physicians will prescribe a healthy diet and exercise as the primary mode of treatment. The cynic in me says that treatment will include prescriptive medications instead of encouraging preventative measures.
Why is it so hard to talk to people about obesity? Every time I teach it in class, I have to walk on egg shells. Even in the professional setting, if you tell someone they are obese they react as if it was a racial slur. I was called by an irate mother that accused me of ruining her daughter's self-esteem by noting that her BMI and body fat percentage placed her in the obese category. Hopefully, classifying obesity as a disease will eliminate some of the awkwardness that comes with discussing it. It will be seen for what it is… a clinical diagnosis, not a personal attack. No one gets their feelings hurt when the doctor tells them that the hideous mole on their back should be removed and biopsied to see if it is cancerous. I understand that obesity is more than simply a physical problem, but until it can be discussed openly, and attacked vigorously, it will always remain as the elephant in the room and we will never make progress towards finding obesity's root cause.
The best treatment for obesity is a Spartan Lifestyle, one that is founded on a healthy diet and loaded with physical activity. The Spartan Lifestyle includes a diet that is mostly plant based, that includes an abundance of vegetables and fruits, very moderate in grains and animal food products. It is a diet that eliminates processed foods, added sugars, and trans fats. A Spartan Lifestyle includes meals that are prepared from fresh foods, not ones that come from a box. For fluid, Spartans drink water, not sugary, over caffeinated beverages. You can get access to healthy and nutritious recipes by subscribing to our daily "Food of the Day" emails. They are FREE and provide recipes to help get you started and keep you fueled in a healthy way. Subscribe HERE.
Physical activity doesn't require a fancy gym, or shiny plates, or cardio equipment. It does require a commitment of 60 minutes a day, which still leaves 1,380 minutes to sleep, work, and relax. It starts with motivation, if a BMI of 30 and all the excess baggage associated with it isn't enough motivation; there are 1,000,000 trainers and coaches out there that are willing to help the right person find it. Similar to our Food of the Day (FOD), Spartan Race offers FREE workouts WODs each day to keep you moving and active, and to prepare you for your Spartan Races. Subscribe HERE
Spartan Race wants to lead the charge in crushing obesity. Do we really need a physician to treat obesity? Why not nip it in the bud before it gets to that point? Let's rip 78 million people off of their couches and get them to follow the Spartan Lifestyle!
Who wants to join us in this crusade?

Online Vacation Deal Turns Out To Be A Dud
By Jennifer Kraus
Consumer Investigative Reporter
NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Those online websites that offer daily deals seem to be all the rage these days.
Sometimes, the specials they offer sure sound too good to be true. And, sometimes NewsChannel 5 Investigates discovered, that's exactly what they are. We found a deal that hundreds of people bought thinking they were getting a great vacation at an unbelievable price. But that online deal turned out to be a dud.
It sounded like a cheap vacation getaway: a four night hotel stay for just $135, and you had your choice of four cities.
Blake Osteen told NewsChannel5 Investigates, "I thought it was a great deal. I've been wanting to go on vacation."
The vacation package was featured back in May on Sharing Spree, the latest daily deal website offering special buys on products and services, much like the popular Groupon and LivingSocial sites.
Osteen says, "I bought two of them. My girlfriend, she bought one for her parents. And, then my other friends bought two or three for themselves."
It was the most popular deal ever offered on the site. Sharing Spree sold more than 1,800 of the deals and took in nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
NewsChannel5 Investigates asked Osteen, "Anybody you know actually get a vacation?"
"No, ma'am."
Just days after the deal closed, customers were already complaining online that they couldn't book their trips and they couldn't get answers from either Sharing Spree or the company behind the deal, a website known as CoolVacationDeals.com, which we discovered is run out of a Bellevue apartment by Korey Conner.
Conner told NewsChannel5 Investigates, "I'm not booking the vacations. I'm not doing it. Absolutely not."
Conner says his deal with Sharing Spree fell apart soon after the online vacation deal was posted. And, he says he never booked any trips because he wasn't paid what he was owed.
"I got exactly $8,000. I was supposed to get almost $125,000."
Whitney Crisp with Sharing Spree explains, "You can't give someone $125,000 if they don't show that they can hold up their end of the deal.
Crisp says Conner told her he had all sorts of experience in the travel industry.
NewsChannel5 Investigates asked Crisp, "He told you that he'd booked vacations before?"
"And, it was your understanding that he was going to book the vacations?"
Crisp answered," Oh, absolutely. He was booking the vacations through, you know, his parent company, I guess."
But Conner insists, "That was never said to Sharing Spree."
Conner told NewsChannel5 Investigates he's no travel agent and never has been. Yet, he does claim to have sold online vacation packages like this before.
"I didn't invent this. This has gone on for a long time. There are other people making money on this right now," he explained.
Conner sent Sharing Spree customers a travel certificate from a company based in California. And we found that for just $99, Conner was able to print off as many of these travel certificates as he wanted to. The company though behind the certificates says these certificates are never supposed to be re-sold, as they were here. And, while a lot of folks bought more than one of these vacation deals, they were never told that you are only allowed to book one trip a year.
NewsChannel5 Investigates asked Sharing Spree's Crisp, "But you didn't know this when you did the deal?"
"Oh, absolutely not," she told us. "We had no idea."
Sharing Spree now admits they didn't check out Conner's background before the deal or even his website which we discovered was launched just two weeks earlier.
"But, you went ahead with the deal?" NewsChannel5 Investigates asked Sharing Spree's Crisp.
"We did. We did."
Korey Conner, the man behind the vacation deal, says, "The truth of it is, you know, that Sharing Spree didn't do their research."
And, while Conner maintains he's done nothing wrong.
Sharing Spree says the same thing.
Crisp explained," Your money is always safe with us. You're always going to get it back if you're not satisfied."
Yet, while Sharing Spree confirms the deal with Conner is off, the company is still holding only customers' money, all, we found, while leading customers to believe they'd be getting their vacations any day.
NewsChannel5 Investigates asked Sharing Spree, "You're sitting on nearly a quarter of a million dollars and waiting for people to ask for their refund. Why not refund everyone's money?"
Whitney Crisp responded, "At this time, and probably until this past week, we were still trying to make sure that it (the deal) was done."
But it's been nearly two months now and, in that time, not one person has gotten a vacation, leaving customers wondering if they've been taken for a ride.
Blake Osteen who bought two of the deals told NewsChannel5 Investigates, "It's just messed up how they've done it all."
Sharing Spree says it has sent refunds to about 300 or so people who have specifically asked for their money back. The company says it hasn't refunded everyone else's money because it's been trying to come up with another similar vacation package to offer these folks.
Sharing Spree also now says it paid Korey Conner $8,000 hoping that he would then at least book some of the vacations. But, he told them it was all or nothing. Sharing Spree tells NewsChannel5 Investigates that they have not decided yet whether to go after him for the money.
And if you're wondering how companies make money offering these great online deals...it's that they're counting on people buying them but never using them. As it turns out, about half of all people who buy deals like this end up never using them.

The Timberwolves announced today that the team has released forward Josh Howard after an MRI revealed he has a torn ACL in his right knee. The injury will sideline him for the remainder of the season.
"He worked so hard to get himself back and did a good job for us. We didn't know anything about that until this morning," said head coach Rick Adelman. "It's just a shock and I feel bad for him."
The injury occured in the second quarter of the game in New Orleans and was reportedly a hyperextended knee. Howard was signed as a free agend on November 16 and averaged 6.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11 games for the Wolves.
The release paves the way for an additional player to be added although Adelman stated they have had primilary discussions no specific names of free agents were mentioned.

Best Degrees for Second-Act Careers
Check out five degrees that could lead to a more satisfying second act in your career storyline.
Is the curtain coming down on your first-act career because of burnout, boredom, or unemployment? It could be time to return to school for a degree in a field with more promising second-act career choices.
Don't know if going back to school is right for you?
Consider this: About two-thirds of all employment will require some college education or better, according to "Help Wanted: Projections of Jobs and Education Requirements through 2018," a June 2010 report by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.
With that in mind, here are five "sneak peeks" of degree options that could lead to great second-act careers.
Degree #1 - Associate's in Paralegal Studies
If you love courtroom dramas, you might find earning an associate's degree in paralegal studies equally fascinating.
As a paralegal student, you'll likely sharpen your writing and critical thinking skills, as well as study the law, legal research, and how to use law libraries, according to the College Board, an educational organization that administers aptitude tests like the SAT.
What's more, an associate's in paralegal studies could prepare you to pursue a career as a paralegal. Paralegals do a lot of the same work as lawyers, such as researching case law, writing legal documents and arguments, and preparing for hearings and trials, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Click to Find the Right Paralegal Program.
Second-Act Career Details: Paralegals earn an average of $49,640 annually, and the field is predicted to grow by 28 percent between 2008 and 2018, according to the Department.*
Degree #2 - Bachelor's in Computer Science
Are you intrigued by movies where the techie saves the day with a few keystrokes? If so, a bachelor's degree in computer science might be the preparation you need for a great second-act career.
You could prepare for a career in computer science with courses like program design, computer system organization, and software engineering, according to the College Board.
And don't fret - the careers you could pursue with a bachelor's in computer science aren't as dull as stereotypes might make them out to be.
Take computer systems analysts for example. They generally design and develop new computer systems or find ways to use existing systems for new tasks, notes the Department. Dull? Decidedly not.
Click to Find the Right Computer Science Program.
Second-Act Career Details: Computer systems analysts earn an average of $81,250 annually, and the field is predicted to grow by 20 percent between 2008 and 2018.*
Degree #3 - Associate's in Medical Assisting
If you love caring for people, studying to pursue a second-act career in the health care field might be your calling. One exciting option is an associate's degree in medical assisting.
As a medical assisting student, you'll likely study everything from medical terminology to insurance processing and medical transcription, according to the College Board, which also notes that this degree is an ideal stepping stone towards a medical assisting career.
What's a medical assistant? Think of them as the oil that keeps your doctor's office running smoothly.
Medical assistants perform a variety of tasks, from updating patients' files and taking vital signs to preparing insurance or hospital forms and making appointments, according to the Department.
Click to Find the Right Medical Assisting Program.
Second-Act Career Details: Medical assistants earn an average of $29,760 annually, and the field is predicted to grow by 34 percent between 2008 and 2018.*
Degree #4 - Associate's in Business
If you would like to prepare for a career in the business world, then earning an associate's degree in business might be the right way to script your second-act career.
As a business major, you'll generally study accounting and auditing techniques as well as broader business issues, according to the College Board.
These courses could help you prepare for a career as a bookkeeper, which generally involves performing a wide range of tasks and roles. In small businesses, bookkeepers might be in charge of all accounting. In large firms, they might work in specific areas, preparing reports for accountants and other business professionals, according to the Department.
Click to Find the Right Business Program.
Second-Act Career Details: Bookkeepers earn an average of $35,340 annually, and the field is predicted to grow by 10 percent between 2008 and 2018.*
Degree #5 - Associate's in Nursing
Whether you're a "General Hospital" fan or more of a Mother Teresa biopic kind of person, an associate's degree in nursing might be good medicine for an ailing first-act career.
Nursing degree coursework usually involves conducting physical exams, studying health care ethics, and learning how to diagnose and treat illnesses, according to the College Board.
An associate's in nursing is a common route towards a career as a registered nurse, according to the Department, which notes that nurses generally help doctors diagnose illnesses, perform diagnostic tests, administer treatments, and educate patients and their families on medications and treatments.
Click to Find the Right Nursing Program.
Second-Act Career Details: Nurses earn an average of $67,720 annually, and the field is predicted to grow by 22 percent between 2008 and 2018.*
*All occupation, average salary, and growth potential comes from the U.S. Department of Labor using 2010 data. Growth data is for the period between 2008 and 2018.

One of the 12 victims in the Navy Yard shooting was a man with ties to Massachusetts who loved the Boston Bruins. Martin Bodrog, 54, lived in Virginia, but he grew up in North Andover.
Bodrog oversaw ship design for the Navy. Neighbors say it was common to see him, in all types of weather, wearing shorts and a Boston Bruins jersey. They say he had plans to go to the Bruins game in Baltimore Tuesday evening.
Of the 12 people who died in the attack none were in the Navy. They've all been identified as civilians, ranging in age from 46 to 73, who worked in the Navy Yard.

Division III schools are unique because at places like St. Olaf, academics take precedence over athletics.
Many criticize athletes who are more interested in furthering their minds rather than participating in sports, but on the hill it is something we must all strive to understand. Often people are forced to make tough decisions. Last weekend the Nagel twins made such a decision. Instead of playing in the MIAC tournament, the event the entire season builds up to, they were taking the MCATs.
Ted and Tom Nagel have been the cornerstones of the St Olaf mens tennis team all season and with their absence the team had to continue on its own. The Oles finished the season in sixth place overall with a 4-7 record.
As always, the weather at St. Olaf was beautiful for tennis. The dominance of Gustavus Adolphus continued this season as they won their 15th consecutive conference championship and didnt drop a match.
The Oles each played well, but could not seem to register a win. Their first match was against a very strong St. Thomas team with a record of 13-4. All the matches were close, and although none were won by Oles, the coaching staff was happy with the effort put forth by the players.
The second match for the Oles was against cross-town rivals the Carleton Knights. Again the Oles played well, but could not snag a victory. Head coach Scott Nesbit commented that the Oles were extremely competitive with their opponents in both meets.
The final match of the tennis season put the MIAC championship hosts against the Macalester Scots. The Oles were not able to end their season with a win and Nesbit summarized the match by saying, the Oles won two of the singles matches, Dan Cohen 04 at number two singles and Mike Matsuura 06 at number five singles. They also had very close matches at number three singles and number four singles with respective players, Ross Bidlingmaier 05 and Mike Donohue 03 splitting sets and losing the super-tiebreaker for the deciding third set.
The Oles needed to win all their doubles matches to emerge victorious in the meet, but fell short despite excellent play from Matt Sobieski 03 and Cohen who played superbly at number one doubles defeating the Macalester duo 8-3.
The Oles finished the season in seventh place overall in the MIAC conference with a record of 4-10.
Next year should be a good year with the returning of the Nagel twins who, if the MCATs are over, will be more than ready to work up the ladder in the MIAC.
The Oles will lose seniors Matt Sobieski and Mike Donohue, but have a lot of talent coming up the ranks and with coaches Dave Olsen and Scott Nesbit, next year should be very enjoyable for everyone.
Although the regular tennis season is over, the team is not quite ready to pack it in for the summer. The squad will participate in the annual alumni tournament on May 10 immediately following the womens matches, about 3:00 p.m., at the Carson courts.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Kenny Chesney recently called Grace Potter & the Nocturnals the best band in the world. So when boston.com asked Potter about that bold statement, she said, "He's such an energized, whirling dervish of a dude, that when he's in the moment, those things just come out of his mouth. First he said in America, and then he corrected himself and said, 'No, the world.'" Whatever Chesney may think of Potter, the country world seems to love her and that song. But she's not planning on jumping away from her rock roots into country. "We could make a country album right now, and it would be awesome. We're not going to, but I'm just saying we could. We could go to Stax or Muscle Shoals and make an album that's pure unadulterated soul with a horn section, and nobody would blink an eye," she said. "It doesn't feel like people think I'm a country singer now because I sang on this one song with Kenny. We had our rise and our big moment as a band, and then right when our tour was raging and everything was going perfectly, this 'You and Tequila' thing just jumped on top of that like a [expletive] leap frog and just continued." A Chesney duet will do that to you.

"Perfection! Plays as truthful and touching and fine as Amy Herzog's 4000 MILES come along once or maybe twice a season, if we're lucky. Mary Louise Wilson's great performance is stage acting at its most accomplished. Gabriel Ebert breaks your heart. Their extraordinary performances bring matching reserves of humor and honesty under the sensitive direction of Daniel Aukin. This is the rare theatrical production that achieves perfection on its own terms." - Isherwood, The New York Times
It's the middle of the night. Leo (Gabriel Ebert), age 21, has just arrived on the doorstep of the West Village apartment where his feisty 91 year old grandmother Vera (Mary Louise Wilson) lives. He's been traveling on a bike for months, and now he's looking for a place to hunker down. Their evolving relationship, spanning a 70 year age gap, is at the heart of 4000 MILES.
The world premiere of this play was presented under the auspices of our LCT3 program in the summer of 2011. To learn more about the original production of 4000 MILES, click here.

Public Affairs Internships
The public affairs department promotes the AFT's ideas, issues, and initiatives to the public through print and broadcast media. We also assist AFT state and local affiliates in doing likewise. Our goal is to educate the public and win its support for AFT's work and positions of importance to our members. Some of the ways we carry out our mission include:
- Providing interviews, information and contacts for the media;
- Planning media events to promote a specific issue or initiative, including press conferences and briefings;
- Developing story ideas and presenting them to reporters;
- Generating media interest for AFT conferences;
- Producing video and audiotapes on issues or AFT campaigns;
- Writing and disseminating press releases, articles, op-eds, letters to the editor, talking points and user-friendly issue summaries;
- Tracking news coverage of issues of interest to the AFT;
- Producing the toll-free Learning Line for students and the Summer Learning Calendar.
Interns in the public affairs department receive exposure to the varied work performed by our staff and have a hand in much of it. Intern responsibilities include, but are not limited to: gathering news articles to be included in the Daily Digest—a compilation of news clips about issues of importance to the AFT; assisting in the public promotion of the AFT's biennial convention; and writing scripts for the Learning Line, the AFT's toll-free service providing educational activities for children.
Candidates should have an avid interest in public education and the union's role in education reform. Strong writing and communication skills are a must; educational or work experience in writing or journalism are preferred.
Application details for internships in this department are found on the main internship page.

A term we're hearing a lot these days is "fiscal cliff." If Congress and the president can't agree on a plan, a series of tax increases and spending cuts will go into effect Jan. 1. Many people would see their taxes go up, while the government budget would be cut, reducing spending on defense and lowering some benefits.
But with so much uncertainty there are already impacts, especially when it comes to taxes.

13 tax breaks for 2010 that can save you money
These credits and deductions may make organizing and filing your taxes less painful.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
Filing taxes isn't a lot of fun, but maybe if you find out that you've got some good deductions coming, it will be easier to start.
Let's start with this news story I recently shot that will provide some of the most important breaks you'll get this year. Then meet me on the other side for a condensed version of the nitty-gritty.
Here's a quick, concise but complete look at tax breaks and credits for the 2010 tax year:
1. Tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers, $6,500 for existing homeowners.
If you bought a home in 2010, you could qualify for a monster tax credit. (Credits are Nirvana in tax-land, because that's a direct reduction of your taxes, not just a deduction from your income: Basically, they're cash.)
Owned a house before? You could get a credit of up to $6,500. Property virgin? Up to $8,000. Rules and exclusions, however, abound. If you think you might qualify, check out the minutia at this page of the IRS website.
The good news: To try to get you out to the mall and thus get the economy back on its feet, last year you got a credit of 6.2 percent of your pay (the amount you pay into Social Security), capped at $400 for single filers and $800 for joint filers.
The bad news: You already got this money in the form of lower tax withholding in last year's paychecks – it's no help now.
The standard deduction if you're married and filing a joint 2010 tax return is $11,400, same as last year. If you're single, however, your standard deduction increased by $250 to $5,700.
Good for the rich: As I mentioned in the video above, for tax year 2010, itemized deductions didn't phase out as your income increased. If it's deductible, you get to deduct it, no matter how much you made last year.

NAFLD and Parasites
6 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2764404 on Nov 04, 2008
Purchased at iHerb
When I first tried Liv52 at full dose because of my NAFLD, I got cramping pains in my upper intestine, so reduced to half dose for 2 months. During that time I discovered intestinal parasites, which I believe were reacting to the increased flow of bile (a result of Liv52), and causing the cramping. After doing a parasite cleanse for 2 months, I can now take Liv52 at full dose without cramping. I don't know if it is helping my liver, but I do believe the parasites were unhappy with it. In 2 months I do another test to determine the state of my NAFLD, and then I'll know more.
seems to work

I'm using this for my disabled son so we're still watching the results, however, his reflux cleared up straight away and bowel movements improved within a few weeks.Sleep has improved also. Theres oodles of very interesting research papers on their website. Beware it may enhance absorbtion of any other supplements you take, in our case thyroid meds(or vitamins etc) so stay on the ball.

Luang Por Sumedho — Founding Abbot
Luang Por Sumedho was born in Seattle, Washington in 1934. After serving four years in the US Navy as a medic, he completed a BA in Far Eastern Studies and a MA in South Asian Studies. In 1966, he went to Thailand to practice meditation at Wat Mahathat in Bangkok. Not long afterwards, he went forth as a novice monk in a remote part of the country, Nong Khai, before receiving full ordination in 1967.
A year of solitary practice followed. Although fruitful, it showed him the need for a teacher who could more actively guide him. A fortuitous encounter with a visiting monk led him to Ubon province to practice with Luang Por Chah. He took dependence from Luang Por Chah and remained under his close guidance for ten years.
In 1975, Luang Por Sumedho, established Wat Pah Nanachat, International Forest Monastery where Westerners could be trained in English. In 1977, he accompanied Luang Por Chah to England and took up residence at the Hampstead Vihara, with three other monks.
Luang Por Sumedho was made an Upachaya (ordination preceptor) in 1981. Since then he has given upasampada (Bhikkhu precepts) to more than a hundred aspirants of many nationalities. Luang Por Sumedho was integral in establishing the Forest Sangha tradition in the United Kingdom. He was central in establishing Amaravati Buddhist Monastery and Chithurst Buddhist Monastery. He remained as senior incumbent at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in Hertfordshire until November 2010, at which time he handed over the duties of abbot to Ajahn Amaro. Luang Por Sumedho is now based in Thailand where his monastic life began in 1966.

Road Safety
Our objective is safety on our roads and to reduce the number of people injured or killed on our roads.
We do this largely through public education (particularly in Schools),and by taking an active part in National Road Safety Campaigns and by providing a School Crossing Patrol Service at the City's busiest Schools.
In addition to this we gather information and statistics relating to road accidents and use that knowledge to focus on sites which are most at risk.
We are then able to explore the possibility of using engineering works to help resolve or alleviate problems at risk sites.
Thanks to Admiral who support the school crossing patrols in Swansea.
