GLO ON: The sign at Kopper Glo's coal washing plant in Clairfield warns of chemical and physical hazards ahead. The Knoxville-based company is looking to open two new surface mines totaling over 2,000 acres in Claiborne County.
FIGHT THE POWER: Russell Worley, pictured on a reclaimed strip mine, and Vicki Terry, standing in her yard, are local residents of the Clear Fork Valley who have found themselves increasingly concerned about mining's impact on the community.
ONE LAST LOOK: Russell Worley, left, and Vickie Terry stare out at a ridge that they suspect will be surface mined by Kopper Glo if the company's permits are approved. Further off in the distance, you can see the scraggly trees on another ridge that was once a mine; "dragon's teeth," Terry calls them.
DEVELOPMENT BLUES: Community activist and educator Carol Judy says the area needs more than just mining jobs to develop a sustainable and stable economy.
GOOD GUY: Richard Reamsnyder of Campbell County thinks most people in the coal industry are "good guys," but he's worried about mining's effect on the water quality.

ICBA Statement on Wal-Mart Modifying Its Leases with Banks
Washington, D.C. (March 15, 2007)—Camden R. Fine, president and CEO of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), issued the following statement about reports that Wal-Mart is modifying its existing leases with banks to allow Wal-Mart to conduct expanded retail banking services in its stores.
"Time after time, Wal-Mart has made misstatements and given false information to the FDIC in connection with its application for an FDIC-insured Utah industrial loan company charter. The company said it doesn't plan to get into retail banking. Now, with the revelation that the corporation is modifying its current bank leases so that it can offer mortgages, loans and other financial products to customers in its stores, it is undeniable that Wal-Mart's master plan is to get into retail banking.
"Allowing the world's largest corporation to breach the wall separating banking and commerce to open a retail bank would pose an unacceptable risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund and destabilize thousands of local communities across the nation."
ICBA strongly urges Congress to take up and pass the ICBA-endorsed Industrial Bank Holding Company Act (H.R. 698) introduced by Reps. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and Paul Gillmor (R-Ohio) and co-sponsored by 81 members of Congress, that would close the ILC loophole in the Bank Holding Company Act and prohibit Wal-Mart, Home Depot and other non-financial companies from using an ILC charter loophole to skirt the law preventing commercial firms from owning FDIC-insured financial institutions."

Federal Green Challenge
Federal Green Challenge - Electronics
On this page:
Federal Green Challenge Electronics Goals
The Federal Electronics Challenge (FEC) was a partnership program that encouraged federal facilities to purchase greener electronics, reduce the impacts of electronics during use, and manage used electronics in an environmentally safe way. The FEC program ended the partnership and awards sections of the program in August 2013, but is still providing technical information through webinars and by updating the resources on the website.
If your facility participated in EPA's FEC, please let the Federal Green Challenge Team know and we will work to retrieve any past data from the FEC program.
Relative to your baseline, increase the following by 5% or more:
- Purchase/lease of Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) products;
- Number of electronic equipment in use with power management enabled;
- Responsible recycling through 3rd party certified electronics recyclers/donation of electronic equipment; and
- Average life span of electronics
Reducing Your Electronics Footprint
- Purchase/lease EPEAT-registered
- Purchase/lease Energy Star Certified Equipment
- Share electronics and streamline networking to decrease quantity of electronics purchased
Operation & Maintenance
- Enable power management settings on electronics to reduce energy usage.
Fact: Activating monitor power management can save $10-$35+ per monitor annually.
- Decrease turnover of electronic equipment.
- Donate still functional electronics through programs such as Computers for Learning.
- Recycle electronics at end of life only through 3rd party certified electronics recyclers.
- Achieve 100% recycling of electronics through 3rd party certified electronics recyclers within three years.
Fact: In 2007, about 414,000 tons of electronics were collected in the US for recycling. This prevented the release of greenhouse gases equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 178,000 cars.

- Energy Star Computer Power Management Savings Calculator (XLSX) (64K)
Case Studies
The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board headquarters in Chicago recycled more than 3,200 pounds of electronic waste in one year, a nearly 10 percent increase over its baseline the previous year. This was accomplished by finding additional recycling or repurposing options for the agency's equipment through the property management process and the Computers for Learning program. Read more about Electronic Waste Recycling Increases Waste Diversion (PDF) (2 pp, 600K).
The U.S. Air Force has successfully integrated EPEAT and EnergyStar into their electronics procurement and implemented power management policies. These changes are expected to save $15 million annually and reduce power plant carbon dioxide emissions by over 100,000 tons per year. Read more about the Air Force's computer purchasing and power management policies (PDF). (2 pp, 314K)
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is implementing comprehensive power management policies for the agency's computers and printers while promoting reuse of surplus devices. Desktops, laptops, and monitors are set to time out after inactivity, reducing power consumption by an estimated 8,383 BTUs per year. Read more about GSA's electronics stewardship program.

Carries oxygen in the body; aids in the production of red blood cells; supports immune function, cognitive development, and temperature regulation; is essential for proper cell growth.
Slacking on your iron intake causes your body to reduce the production of red blood cells, causing anemia. This can lead to unrelenting fatigue and shortness of breath while doing activities that aren't very strenuous, as well as difficulty maintaining body temperature and decreased immune function, which increases susceptibility to infection. What's more, blood loss during your period depletes your body's iron stores, so it's particularly important for women with heavy periods to eat iron-rich foods or take supplements, says Carol Haggans, R.D., a consultant for the National Institutes of Health.
Lean red meat, chicken, turkey, fish, cereals, beans, whole grains, and dark-green leafy vegetables. (If you're not eating enough of these foods, talk to your doc about trying a ferrous sulfate supplement since it's most easily absorbed, says nutrition expert Cynthia Sass, R.D. And don't forget to sneak in foods rich in Vitamin C since they enhance your body's iron absorption.)
Makes and keeps bones and teeth strong; helps muscles and blood vessels contract and expand; secretes hormones; and sends messages through the nervous system.
Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones. Thus, calcium consumption is important for aging adults, particularly postmenopausal women whose bone breakdown exceeds formation, resulting in bone loss and increased risk of osteoporosis over time. "Women start losing bone density in their twenties," says Mary Ellen Camire, Ph.D., a nutrition professor at the University of Maine at Orono. "Calcium is your single best defense, and you should start taking it now."
Dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt, and dark-green leafy vegetables such as broccoli and kale.
Maintains normal muscle and nerve function; keeps heart rhythm steady; supports a healthy immune system; keeps bones strong; helps regulate blood sugar levels; promotes normal blood pressure; may play a role in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes; and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.
Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, but there are other reasons you won't want to run low on it, including deficiency symptoms such as chronic or excessive vomiting and diarrhea, and migraines. "Blood vessels in your brain constrict, and receptors in the feel-good chemical serotonin malfunction," says Alexander Mauskop, M.D., director of the New York Headache Center. If you suffer from Crohn's disease or another gastrointestinal disorder that makes it difficult for your body to absorb nutrients, you may be at risk for magnesium deficiency.
Green vegetables (like okra; pictured), some beans, nuts, seeds, and unrefined whole grains.
Ensures proper development and functioning of our eyes, skin, immune system, and many other parts of our bodies.
Vitamin A plays a vital role in vision support. Research also suggests that vitamin A may reduce the mortality rate from measles, prevent some types of cancer, aid in growth and development, and improve immune function.
Leafy green vegetables, orange and yellow vegetables, tomato products, fruits, dairy products, liver, fish, and fortified cereals. (Vitamin A is also available in multivitamins and stand-alone supplement, often in the form of retinyl acetate or retinyl palmitate.)
Helps produce and maintain new cells, including red blood cells; maintains proper balance in the nervous system's message-carrying molecules and is necessary for proper brain function for in mental and emotional health.
Folate is imperative for the prevention of anemia and is absolutely essential to any pregnancy. Folate deficiency during pregnancy can lead to serious complications, including premature births and infants born with neural tube defects. Studies show that women who take folic acid supplements before conception and during the first trimester may reduce their risk of having children with neural tube defects by 72 to 100 percent. The daily recommended amount is 400 micrograms, but this need increases to 600 micrograms for pregnant women and 500 micrograms for those lactating. Furthermore, people with low intake of folate are also at increased risk for certain types of cancer.
Natural sources include leafy green vegetables, fruits, and beans; the synthetic form of folate (folic acid) is found in supplements and often added to enriched cereals, breads, pastas, and rice.
Aids in the formation of fatty acids and blood sugar, which are used in the production of energy for the body; and helps metabolize amino acids and carbohydrates.
While a lack of biotin is rare, getting sufficient amounts staves off signs of deficiency including hair loss, brittle nails, and a scaly, red facial rash. Luckily, these you can alleviate these symptoms by boosting your biotin intake, which also helps neurological symptoms, such as mild depression, in adults.
Cauliflower, liver, avocado, and raspberries.
Help the body to convert food into fuel for energy; contribute to healthy skin, hair, and eyes, and proper nervous system functioning; maintain metabolism, muscle tone, and a sharp mind.
Deficiency of certain B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, can cause a host of awful symptoms: It can cause anemia, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, depression, numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, muscle cramps, respiratory infections, hair loss, eczema, poor growth in children, and birth defects. You don't want that.
Fish, poultry, meat, eggs, dairy products, leafy green vegetables, legumes, many cereals, and some breads.
Facilitates normal growth and development and repairs bodily tissues, bones, and teeth; helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels; and functions as an antioxidant to block some of the damage caused by free radicals.
Vitamin C's healing and antioxidant powers make it essential. Signs of vitamin deficiency include dry and splitting hair; gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and bleeding gums; rough, dry, scaly skin; decreased wound-healing rate; easy bruising; nosebleeds; and a decreased ability to fight infection. A severe form of vitamin C deficiency is known as scurvy. Despite its rep as a cold fighter, C has never been proven to prevent or cure the sniffles, but the antioxidant is believed to boost your immune system. It is also often used as an ingredient in skincare products since vitamin C can boost your body's collagen production to help reduce wrinkles and can also firm up and moisturize your skin.
All fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruits, red pepper, and broccoli. The synthetic variety is known as ascorbic acid.
Promotes calcium absorption necessary for bone growth; modulation of cell growth; neuromuscular and immune function; and reduction of inflammation.
Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen, leading to osteomalacia, or a softening of the bones, which can weaken muscles, too. Vitamin D deficiency has also been shown to play a role in the development of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In good news though, evidence suggests that vitamin D may provide some protection against colorectal and possibly other cancers.
Flesh of fatty fish, such as salmon and tuna, and fish liver oils, with small amounts in beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks; and vitamin-D-fortified milk and orange juice.
Note: While vitamin D occurs naturally in very few foods, most people actually meet at least some of their vitamin D needs through exposure to sunlight.
Assists in proper brain operation; is important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function; helps reduce high blood pressure; calms inflammation.
Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and other joint problems. What's more, studies have found that those who ate more fish high in omega-3 fatty acids were less likely to have macular degeneration (a condition that steals your central vision) than those who ate less fish.
Fish—particularly fatty fish like salmon, tuna, sardines, and mackerel—and plants and nut oils. (Fish oil capsules are also a great option, but take less than 3 grams a day since fish oil can thin your blood.)
Helps regulate other hormones; maintains the body's circadian rhythm, an internal 24-hour clock that plays a critical role in when we fall asleep and wake up; helps control the timing and release of female reproductive hormones (determining when a woman starts to menstruate, the frequency and duration of menstrual cycles, and when a woman stops menstruating, i.e. starts menopause).
Melatonin plays a large role in regulating your sleep schedule. When it gets dark at night, a nerve pathway in your eye sends a signal to the brain to tell the pineal gland to start secreting melatonin, which makes you sleepy. Low levels of melatonin—along with screwing up up Zzzs—can also increase your risk for breast cancer.
Tablets, capsules, creams, and lozenges. (There is currently no recommended dose for melatonin supplements but the best approach is to begin with a very low dose—about 200 mcg).
Aids in digestion; fights off disease-causing bacteria; can reduce diarrhea caused by certain infections, chemotherapy, and irritable bowel syndrome.
Since the mid-1990s, clinical studies have established that probiotic therapy can help treat a number of ills, including diarrhea, vaginal yeast and urinary tract infections, irritable bowel syndrome, and certain intestinal infections, while also reducing bladder cancer recurrence and preventing or reducing the severity of colds and flu.
Yogurt, kefir, and other dairy products. (Not into dairy? There are a variety of supplements from which you can choose as well.)
Necessary for basic cell function; helps cells manage your body's energy supply; is a powerful antioxidant.
Some researchers believe CoQ10 may help with heart-related conditions by lowering blood pressure and boosting your levels of ecSOD, an enzyme thought to protect blood vessels from damage. Studies also suggest that CoQ10 may fight cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, as well as improve physical performance while exercising. Japanese researchers, for instance, found CoQ10 supplementation decreased exercise-induced muscle injury.
Occurs naturally in the body. (As you get older, production decreases. The only way to get back up to youthful levels is by taking a supplement.)
Acts as a powerful antioxidant.
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most studied polyphenol antioxidant found in green tea and the most active. Clinical studies have revealed that this antioxidant may help reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol, as well as have anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties that may help prevent the development and growth of skin tumors.
Green tea is widely available. (If you don't like the taste or prefer not to drink it every day, try a supplement.)
Treats health problems related to free radical damage, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Stay young from the inside out! Preliminary animal research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has shown that it may protect brains in ways that fight against future age-related dementia, as well as decrease the development of skin cancer due to UVB radiation exposure. In pill form, it also helps maintain collagen and elastin, two ¬building blocks of smooth skin.
Capsules, tablets, and liquid form.
Prevents damage to blood vessels; lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol; prevents blood clots.
There are high hopes for resveratrol—mainly the interest in the potential for it to prevent heart disease. There's also research looking in to its ability to inhibit the proliferation of a variety of human cancer cells, including those from breast and colon cancer. What's more, resveratrol seems to interact directly with genes that regulate aging, says David Katz, M.D., founding director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center, so even though you can't stop the clock, you can try to slow it down.
Grapes, grape juice, wine (especially red), peanuts, and berries. (Supplements are available as well.)
Used as a laxative; helps reduce total blood cholesterol.
Flaxseed is said to lower cholesterol levels, boost the immune system, and protect against cancers, including breast cancer. Note that flaxseed oil contains only omega-3 fatty acids and not the additional fiber or lignans available through the seed, but its health benefits are undeniable, so make sure you are getting enough.
Soft-gel capsules.
Helps your body grow, develop, and function normally.
A multivitamin is generally prescribed for those who need extra vitamins, who cannot eat enough food to obtain the required amount, or who cannot receive the full benefits of the vitamins contained in the foods they do eat. "I used to say 'For insurance, take a daily multivitamin,' but in light of recent research I now recommend taking one every other day," says Glassman. "It's not going to hurt you, but the research is compelling enough to believe that you're OK cutting back to every other day."
Tablets, chewables, capsules, and oral liquid. (Look for 100 percent of the Recommended Daily Allowance for most vitamins and essential minerals.)

Work has begun on the Quadrennial Defense Review, and Air Force Maj. Gen. Steven L. Kwast believes the review can help leaders understand the security environment and tailor forces to best operate in a new world.
Kwast heads the Air Force QDR office at the Pentagon and says this is a unique time for the review. He spoke to the Defense Writers Group March 15.
"We're coming out of Afghanistan and Iraq, we have a new strategic guidance that shifts the balance towards Asia, and we have a global fiscal reality that is unique," he said. "Those things all come together in a way … that makes this an opportunity to have a significant discussion about strategy for the next 20 years and whether this is one of those inflection points … to adjust that strategy."
Congress requires the report, and it is due in 2014. Leaders in both the executive and legislative branches of government use the review to assess risks, make budgeting decisions and look at resources.
"Whenever we have uncertainty in budget, whenever we have uncertainty in the strategic environment, there is nothing more important than stepping back and thinking strategically," Kwast said. "What is that we're trying to do here, and how can we ensure that we are formed for the purpose that we are created for?"
Kwast said DOD is in a "crazy place" right now in regards to finances and resources. But even with this uncertainty, "as long as we build things that have the attributes – flexibility, adaptability and resilience – then you can fuse and form and swarm your way to fit the problem that emerges."
The military also can adjust capabilities and capacities for the budget topline. "The real genius of this work … is that we articulate a strategic vision for how we approach the defense of this nation that is consistent regardless of political party and regardless of topline," he said. "We can adjust and still maintain our core purpose."
The QDR expresses "the theology" behind defense strategy, Kwast said. "We are still on this journey from a Cold War structure … and shaping it into a structure that has more agility, flexibility and resilience," he said.
The review seeks to understand the entire battlespace – land, sea, air, space and cyber. All these realms are interconnected and leaders must understand these connections as they approach national security, he said.
The other services are working with the Air Force, Joint Staff and Defense leaders to formulate strategy and capitalize on savings by building a joint force.
"We must be more integrated in a fuller way," Kwast said. "If we continue clinging to our tribalism in a way that does not provide solutions to the nation, that truly have the efficiencies and agilities that come with the cross-domain capability, then we will be insufficient for the tasks that appear in our future.
"If we do that, then we're going to fail the nation," he continued. "We have to do this jointly. There's no other option."

Interpersonal conflicts are inevitable in any work or educational setting. At UMBC, strategies and tools to resolve them include formal grievance procedures, formal and ad hoc complaint investigations, mediation, counseling, coaching and, when appropriate, sanctions. However, early intervention can often avert both unnecessary suffering and workplace disruption. With a grant from the Maryland Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office (MACRO), the UMBC Center for Mediation and Conflict Resolution was established to provide an alternative first-step response to interpersonal conflict.

Wow, my bad about trying to post a positive thread. (what was I thinking....)
I'm just using the stats at NFL.com (and they know nothing about football Jet's fans)
IMO, since Matt Moore came in late, had few practice reps and then had such a good season when he had to become the starter is a "good thing".
Since the Dolphin have never had a QB competition that I can remember, I'd like to see if we really have one between Garrard and Moore.
P.S. The only QB competition I remember was between Luke McCown and Chad Henne and it ended the second that Chad Pennington was signed.
If you're down and confused
And you don't remember why
These are the players we are talking to
Concentration slips away
Cos your franchise QB is so far away
And give Ireland a fisted glove
And the seahawk craps from above
And if you can't have the QB
You love Dolphin Fans
Love the one you have
Don't be angry don't be sad
Don't sit crying over good
QBs you had
There's a player, right next to you
And he's just waiting for something
To do
Calm down and do what you can
He's a QB and you're a fan
So get it together make it nice
And you won't need any more advice
When Ireland is with another team
drafting a good QB will pick up steam
take him early like we should
and our chances will then be good
4 playoff wins in the last 3 seasons, you have 3 playoff wins in your last SEVENTEEN seasons but please keep sending those excuses and wasting time w/ unfunny, 3rd grade style photoshops.
While I understand most everyone here understands that "what you see with your own eyes" is filtered by some pretty thick homer green tinted lenses, nonetheless, just letting you believe anyone takes your conveniently parsed pro jest rationalizations seriously, is frustrating but correcting your delusions ad nauseum has become fatiguing as well.
So heretofore, when you attempt to spin your ridiculously, flawed homeristic 3rd grade level logic that the jest have had more than 1 legitimately good season where they actually earned anything beyond that during Rex's watch, or the BS that the sub-par 09 team could have beaten Indy at any time, let alone the 08 Ravens, or for that matter that the Cinci team it faced was anything other than a joke, I have encapsulated reality into a graphic which from here on will be posted to debunk the BS without further comment.
So while you can spin this type of distorted hype about the worthiness of your coaching staff, the "elite" crap about a team that has 1 legitimate winning season and still could not carry their division, get used to this No-Spin Zone heavy dose of reality.
it's so sad how much effort you waste trying to discredit a team much better than the one you root for. If you put half that effort into learning this game we might be able to have an adult discussion.
What's really funny(unintentional, of course) is someone knocking the '09 Jets and pumping up the '08 phins.
nobody is "pumping" the 08' Phins, posters on this site consistently point out that fact that it was a weak schedule and Brady was injured, and dont brag about a playoff loss like you who "pumps" back to back afc title game LOSSES in almost every post you make,
Losses don't coutn at 0-7? b/c you finished better in meaningless games that means something?
tebow isn't pushing Sanchez, he's in here to run a package of plays. Did you know GB was interested in tebow?
back to back title game losses means we won 4 playoff games, 4 road playoff games. The 4 games are more than Miami has in the last 17 years, that's 1 more road playoff win than Miami has in their history. It's ok to credit a div rival, it's ok to tip your cap once in a while.

Product Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
Can you use infrared film in this camera? I ask this because high end canon film cameras can not due to an infrared counter in the camera.
When using infrared film on this camera it is recommended that you cover the 'film confirmation window' with duct or electrical tape to prevent fogging of the infrared film.
Can it photograph??

How reliable is your small business' data backup plan? Recently, we surveyed small businesses to study how they prepare for a data disaster. We found that many small businesses are in fact backing up their data – yet despite known risks, they continue to choose a range of out-of-date and unreliable technologies to protect important business data.
Close the gaps in your small business backup plan. Try a free 30-day trial of Carbonite Business, and if you're ready to trade in your "clunker" of a backup solution now, you can get 3 months free with this limited time offer.
A Statement from David Friend, CEO of Carbonite as of 6:45pm ET, March 3:
"No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse."
Original post:
If you're a CEO or aspire to be one, you'll never stop needing to learn. How will you learn unless every member of your team knows more than you do? -Dave Friend, Carbonite CEO
In November I posted 10 Rules for Entrepreneurs, my list of the top 10 lessons I've learned in business. I've since began exploring each of my rules a bit further, sharing with you the experiences behind the rules. This week I'd like to share a story about Rule #7, "Be transparent. The more people know, the better."
When I was in my 20s, I had a short stint working as an arms control researcher at the Pentagon. It was all top-secret stuff requiring many levels of security clearances. One aspect of top-secret security is the so-called "need to know" rule. Regardless of someone's security clearance level, if they don't need to know something, you don't tell them; and the fewer people who know anything, the better.
In such an environment, the first thing you think of when you meet someone is, "what does he know that I don't know and he's not telling?" Information quickly becomes a currency that buys you favors, power, and prestige. The pervasive secrecy makes for an excruciating working experience. At least that's the way I felt about it, being near the bottom of the totem pole. I resolved that if I were ever in a situation where I could set the rules for transparency, it would be the opposite of my experience in the government.
In business, the idea of "need to know," exists only in the narrowest circumstances, such as compensation and personnel records. Otherwise, my recommendation is always to be completely open with people about what's going on. That doesn't mean cc'ing the entire company on emails or holding large meetings, though. If employees have enough on their plates, they won't seek out unnecessary information because they simply won't have the time. If I am on the cc list for something that I don't have time for, I simply ask politely to be removed from future communication. That's better than just deleting the mail, or blocking it, because it also sends a not-so-subtle message about too much email. On the other hand, if someone requests to be copied on email, I'm generally happy to oblige, but if I don't see the relevance, I'll wonder if the individual needs to have their deliverables tightened up.
The only exception to my "open book" policy is where information could leak out and be damaging to the company. For example, my company is now public and if our financial results leaked out before our quarterly earnings release, we could be in big trouble. Similarly, I'm sure that our competitors would love to see our strategic plan and product roadmap, so the fewer people who have their hands on such documents; the less likely they are to leak out. But as far as people inside the company knowing what is going on and what our plans are, we discuss those things openly all the time. -Dave Friend, Carbonite CEO

Current Carbonite customers will receive an email with instructions on how to access the Carbonite Gift page. Once you gain access to the gift page, you can purchase Carbonite Home for friends, family, and others. While we think this feature is great for gifting to those you think should be safeguarding their important digital files, it's also useful for gifting to family members who don't have access to a credit card, like college students.

Please note, gift subscriptions are currently only available for existing customers.

A few weeks ago I posted 10 Rules for Entrepreneurs, a list of the top 10 lessons I've learned in business that have led to success. This week, I'd like to talk about my Rule #8, "Be respectful and thankful. People do things because they want to, not because they have to. Set a good example."
Most successful entrepreneurs are pretty smart people. But it's amazing how illogical and tone deaf some people can be when it comes to motivating people. We've all read stories about certain CEOs who are famous for the abusive and humiliating ways that they treat employees, vendors, and sometimes even customers.
I was having lunch with an investment banker friend recently who had just come from a meeting with the young CEO of an extremely successful company. He told me that, "The worst thing about my job is that I have to deal with some of the most arrogant people in the world. Just because this guy is fabulously rich, he thinks it's fun to make everyone else grovel. You come away hoping the worst for him."
Now, that left me thinking what has this CEO accomplished by treating his banker this way? How does it advance his business and even his own self-interests?
The CEO sets the tone for the company. If he or she is rude, dismissive, and arrogant to the company's employees, they in turn will start to act the same way to their subordinates, and so on down the line. The result will be a poisonous company culture that people will tolerate maybe only so long as everyone is making a lot of money. The minute there is a rough patch, people will pack it in quickly.
However, a CEO who listens attentively and is genuinely interested in what others have to say, will send signals to the VPs that it's fine to argue, fine to be passionate, and fine to disagree, so long as it is all done in the spirit of common good and common courtesy. The CEO should hold managers to high standards of performance, but I don't believe that behavior like humiliating a VP in front of his peers accomplishes anything positive, other than perhaps to make that CEO feel better.
The CEO is the one who can create a culture that makes everyone proud of their company and happy to come to work in the morning and put their shoulders to the wheel. And little gestures from the CEO can go a long way. I keep a box on my desk with note cards, envelopes, and stamps. When an employee does something that is above and beyond the call of duty, I'll often take a minute and send them a hand-written thank you note. Sometimes, years later, I'll still see those notes pinned up in their cubes. -Dave Friend, Carbonite CEO
Last week I posted 10 Rules for Entrepreneurs, a list of the top 10 lessons I've learned in business that have led to success. In the weeks to come I'll elaborate further, providing an in-depth look at several of these key learnings from my own experiences as an entrepreneur.
Working backwards on my list, I'd like to talk about #9, "Stay humble, success is fleeting."
When I was starting my entrepreneurial career in Boston, the biggest and most successful tech company in New England was Digital Equipment Corp, or DEC, which later became a part of Compaq and then Hewlett-Packard. It was the world's largest mini-computer manufacturer with revenues of over $14 billion. In 1986, Fortune Magazine proclaimed DEC CEO Ken Olsen "America's most successful entrepreneur." Famously (though somewhat taken out of context perhaps), Olsen stated , "The personal computer will fall flat on its face in business." By 1992, DEC was a shadow of its former self, and in July 1992, Olsen resigned. Olsen, once one of the giants of the computer industry, was ridiculed for completely missing the PC revolution.
Just remember, today's heroes may be tomorrow's goats. One thing I can say about Olsen is that nobody gloated over his downfall because, true to his New England roots, he remained a modest man; he did not indulge in fancy trappings or bling and never seemed to boast of his wealth. This isn't something you can necessarily say for all titans of industry, but it is a good lesson for all of us when we're on the way up.
At Carbonite, we understand that small business means large responsibility. Small business owners must simultaneously manage multiple roles to allow innovative ideas to come to life, and their job is never done. For that reason Carbonite celebrates small business heroes this month.
Recently we conducted a study and found that many small business owners do much more than just run the business. They also manage their companies' technology and data backup needs:
There isn't enough time in a day, so why waste an entire work week backing up business data? Automatic cloud solutions like Carbonite Business ease everyday workloads and keep important digital data safe from disaster, letting small business owners focus on what matters most - running their business.
So while small businesses prepare for a busy Small Business Saturday on November 26, Carbonite is offering a limited time offer on Carbonite Business to honor them for the work they do.
From Wednesday, November 16 through Wednesday, November 30, get 3 additional months of Carbonite Business free, with your subscription when you start a free trial or buy. You man the register; we'll guard your data.

Carbonite is my sixth company since getting out of college in 1969. I am frequently asked to talk about the lessons I've learned that have lead to a string of successful businesses. Since this week marks Global Entrepreneurship Week, it seems a good time to share my top-10 list, and over the coming weeks, I'll elaborate on some of these points.
Dave's 10 rules for Entrepreneurs
I'm going to start with the last point, "Enjoy the Moment," because Carbonite recently went public – an achievement reached by only a tiny percentage of startups. If ever there was a moment to enjoy, this would sure rank up there. I got to ring the opening bell at the NASDAQ exchange, go outside into Times Square and see myself and the Carbonite logo on the 60-foot-high jumbotron, and watch the ticker as the first public shares of Carbonite were traded.
Here's the challenge: We still have a company to run. We still have competitors chasing after us. We still have schedules to hit, milestones to achieve, engineering projects to complete on time, data centers to keep running, and on and on. An IPO doesn't change any of that. Since doing all those things well is what got us to the point of an IPO in the first place, it's pretty hard to stop worrying about them for even a minute.
But life is short. Even though an IPO is just a waypoint on the journey, I have to remember that there are 300 other employees here for whom this is a proud moment. So I did take a breath, and thought about the fact that just a few years ago Carbonite was just an idea we were tossing around on a warm summer day. The curse of being an entrepreneur is that the challenges never let up, but if you can't stop and enjoy the successes along the way, you're going to turn into a grouchy old scrooge. Who would want to work for someone who never seems to get enjoyment out of his work and achievements? So my advice is: stop to savor the moment. It will recharge your batteries for the next round of challenges and it will make you more fun to be around.

Join the Carbonite Business team next week for two free, live webinars designed to educate on cloud-based data protection for small to mid-sized businesses.
Tuesday, October 25 12:00 - 12:30 p.m. EST
Affordable Approaches to Cloud-based Backup for SMBs
A great data protection strategy calls for the primary onsite copy to be well protected. You might have local backup copies for a fast restore, but chances are that you have data and files that would really benefit from the additional protection of offsite backup. This broadcast will discuss approaches to cloud-based backup for offsite protection for smaller offices with multiple computers and larger offices that also require server backup.
Your Presenter: This webinar is hosted by the Drobo Broadcast Network and features special guest expert Pete Lamson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Small Business Division at Carbonite.
Technical Requirements: Internet connection and speakers/headphones
Update: Registration for this event is now closed.
Wednesday, October 26 at 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. EST
What Every Business Should Be Doing, But Isn't: Do-it-yourself Disaster Prep
In August, Carbonite surveyed small business owners to determine their companies' preparedness in case of a data disaster event. We found that more than 80 percent of small business owners render their data their organization's most valuable asset, yet less than half have even considered protecting their data from a disaster.
During this free, 60-minute webinar you will learn:
Your Presenter: This webinar is hosted by Office Arrow and features guest expert Sara Callanen, Small Business Marketing Manager, Small Business Division at Carbonite.
Carbonite loves startups. In fact, it wasn't too long ago when Carbonite was a startup.
We're fortunate to be headquartered in Boston, amidst a thriving startup community where we can learn from and even help foster these future leaders in technology. In fact, recently, Carbonite co-founder and CEO David Friend was asked to demonstrate his 60-second Carbonite elevator pitch last month to MassChallenge startup competition contenders. David didn't even need 30 seconds to give his pitch for Carbonite, "Back it up, and get it back for $59 a year."
While we enjoy networking and learning alongside the players in the Boston startup scene; nerds like to party, too. All work and no play, can make a sad computer programmer, and that's why we're thrilled to sponsor the upcoming DB Tech Prom, providing computer geeks in the Boston area a second chance at a triumphant prom. If you're in the Boston area, come celebrate with Carbonite and the Boston startup community:

I'm sorry to hear about your computer crash, Dan. But don't worry, it's a cinch to reinstall Carbonite and restore your files.
First step – reinstall your programs to your new computer. This will allow you to open your files on these programs once they are restored.
Once the programs are installed, you can download Carbonite. Use the Restore Manager (Restore Assistant if you are using a Mac) to help restore your backed up files to your new computer. To help speed up your restore process, our support team recommends you perform all necessary Windows updates prior to your restore. Or temporarily turn off the updates during the restore process. You should also configure your power settings to disable sleep mode or hibernation.
When your restore is complete and you've double checked that you have all your files, you can resume your backup and continue to protect your files on your new machine.

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (7 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
This week in Origins news, a few different takes on the new COSMOS series on Fox, some intriguing discoveries and theories about dinosaurs, and a smattering of articles supporting women in science—who are often an underrepresented group in STEM fields.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
From geology to biology to research into the origin of life itself, the power of water shows the faithfulness and creativity of our Creator.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
I am a Christian. I believe that God is the ultimate reality and that the world, including me, was created by God. But this is not just an idle affirmation, a faith statement to be recited in church on Sunday.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.

Ridgway boys basketball used a second-quarter run to break a tie after eight minutes as the Elkers went on to a 53-40 win over Brockway Monday night at Ridgway Area High School.
The win puts Ridgway at 16-0 overall and a perfect 6-0 in the AML South, winning the division. The win also means DuBois Central Catholic will finish as the division runner-up. DCC went into Monday with a 3-2 AML South record.
JOHNSONBURG – Kane had the game's highest scorer by one point Monday night but the Johnsonburg Rams took care of the rest in an 81-54 victory in the Paper City.
The visiting Wolves were fueled by sophomore forward Jeffrey Kocjancic's game-high 23 points but it wasn't enough to overcome a trio of Johnsonburg Rams scoring in double figures.
Senior Mitchell Holmberg and sophomore Cameron Grumley finished with 22 and 21 points, respectively, while sophomore Cole Peterson contributed 13 points to the winning effort.
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch wrestling squad picked up a pair of victories over the Johnsonburg Rams and Sheffield Wolverines during a tri-meet at SMAHS on Saturday morning. The Dutch defeated the Rams 72-12 and beat the Wolverines 59-9. Sheffield also picked up a 48-18 victory over Johnsonburg.
ST. MARYS – The Elk County Catholic Crusader boys' basketball squad faced off against the Johnsonburg Rams for the third time this season Friday evening, and for the third time they came away with a loss. Unlike their three-point loss in the opening-round contest of the Elk County Boys' Basketball Holiday Tournament, though, the Rams outplayed the Crusaders on Friday, outscoring them 45-23 over the final three quarters to take a 58-36 victory.
JOHNSONBURG – In a tale of two halves Friday night, Elk County Catholic (13-2) pulled off a double-whammy by clinching the Allegheny Mountain League [AML] North Division and halting a 7-game winning streak by Johnsonburg (9-6) with a 52-29 road win.
The Lady Crusaders were fueled by Kristy Hanes' double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, including seven straight points in 34 seconds in the fourth quarter that put the game away for good. Hanes scored 11 of her 15 points in the fourth quarter during a 2-minute stretch to secure the game.
In a game full of long runs, DuBois Central Catholic held the Elkers scoreless for over 13 minutes in the second and third quarters during a stretch which saw the Lady Cardinals pull away in a 53-21 win over Ridgway in an AML South girls basketball game Friday night at Ridgway Area High School.
Ridgway wrestling won 70-0 over Johnsonburg Thursday night at Ridgway Area High School in a dual meet.
The Elkers had Senior Night and honored a dozen seniors. The seniors honored were Chad Quail, Chris Woods, Corey Bush, Dakota Dahler, Jake Himes, Kyle Caggiano, Seth Stahl, Slade Horner, Steve Mitchell, Tad Pierce, Trevor Delhunty and Tyler Himes.
JOHNSONBURG –The Ramettes (9-5) found their groove Thursday night as underclassmen Chelsea Benson and Brittany Watts accounted for 39 of the team's 56 points as Johnsonburg stretched their winning streak to seven games with a 56-40 win over DuBois Central Catholic (5-10).
Sophomore Chelsea Benson paced all scorers with 21 points while junior Brittany Watts followed with 18 on the night. Watts scored all of her points in the first half on nine 2-point field goals before succumbing to foul trouble in the second half.
Ridgway senior Kyle Caggiano recently passed the 100-win milestone for his career.
Caggiano won his 100th match at the Clearfield Duals last Saturday in the dual against Clearfield. He wrestled at 170 pounds and won a 19-1 technical fall in 5:58 over Kody Hepfer.
"It was great, I liked it," Caggiano said. "It was exciting to get it. It ended up being a tech fall in our last match against Clearfield. It was pretty exciting."
JOHNSONBURG – The Ramettes saw 11 players get into the scoring column Tuesday night as Johnsonburg (8-5) cruised to a 60-19 win over Sheffield (2-13).
The Ramettes, who extended their winning streak to six games, were led by junior Rhianon Fowler, who paced all scorers with 17 points and was the only player in double-figures for the night.
"We were able to get some work on our zone defense and our girls hit some shots," said Johnsonburg head girls varsity basketball coach Mike Zilkofski. "We usually see a man-to-man defense but I was happy with the way we came out and shot the ball.

text: Political Science overview faculty program organizations after graduation We offer a unique program. Relying upon the knowledge base about politics that the discipline of political science provides, and integrating that with the commitment of Jesuit education to social justice, the political science major takes as its central focus training of students for a life of active citizenship. Follow us on Facebook Consequently, political science at Le Moyne includes: A citizenship activism theme that runs throughout the curriculum Interdisciplinary courses that demonstrate the pervasiveness of politics Topical courses that link contemporary issues with academic literature Five student clubs that encourage student activism outside of class Student-centered pedagogies and small classes If you have additional questions, feel free to contact department chair Dr. Delia Popescu or, better yet, come and visit us. Learn more about the Political Science department: Internships 3+3 Law Programs Our Mission Internships in the Political Science Department The Political Science Department offers internship opportunities to all majors. Internships are intended to be experiential learning with two major goals: enhancing the intern's specific skills (for example, research and writing ability, computer proficiency, teamwork skills, and public service) and expanding his/her areas of knowledge (for example, the law, political campaigning, child welfare services, and economic development). Placements are aligned with a student's interests, his/her academic coursework, and his/her career and/or graduate school plans. Students can choose a 3-6 credit on-campus placement or a 12-15 credit option in Albany, NY with the NYS Senate or NYS Assembly, or in Washington, DC with the Washington Center. Local interns select from a wide range of possible placements: in the offices of law firms and district attorneys, in not-for-profit organizations and government social service agencies, for local and national legislators and party organizations. Off-campus internships cover an array of governmental and non-governmental setting: Congress, news bureaus, financial businesses, the Department of Justice, homeland security, Environmental Protection Agency, foreign embassies, lobbying organizations. The Department's commitment is to provide a worthwhile experience that advances your college education and prepares you for your life after graduation. Please contact Dr. Bruce Shefrin, director of internship programs, for further information. Return to the top of the page 3+3 Law School Program The "3+3" Program is an exciting opportunity for any eligible Le Moyne College student to apply during their junior year at Le Moyne to the Syracuse University College of Law or the Fordham University School of Law. If accepted, you will finish your senior year at Le Moyne as a first year law student at one of those excellent law schools, earning your Le Moyne degree upon the completion of your first year ("1L") of law school. Not only that, but if accepted, you will be eligible for reduced tuition at both law schools during all three years of your law school career.
