Free, hands-on demonstrations put focus on chemistry and wellness
Students from the ESF Department of Chemistry will demonstrate the connection between chemistry and healthy living this weekend.
Chemistry in Health will be held 10:23 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 23 at Manley Field House. The day will be filled with free chemistry demonstrations, prizes, and health information for all ages. The exhibits will highlight how chemists contribute to improving health by making important contributions to education, the prevention of illness and finding cures for diseases.
Prior to Chemistry in Health, the inaugural Carol M. Baldwin "A Run for THEIR Life" 15K run and 5K run and walk will be held at 9 a.m. Same-day registration at Manley Field House is available beginning at 7 a.m., closing at 8:15 a.m. The run/walk travels through the University Hill area and Armory Square. More information about the run/walk is available at www.findacurecny.org.

Why All the Excitement Over Poker?
Poker's new upsurge in popularity in is due to televisedshowings of championship poker tournaments, such as The WorldPoker Tour and The World Series of Poker. This has resulted inmillions of people all over the world playing either online orat land based casinos. Even movie stars and professionalathletes are getting into tournament action. This really becameevident when actor Ben Affleck won $356,400 and a tournamenttitle at Commerce Casino's California State Poker Championshipin June 2004.
And big business likes poker too. Bear Stearns estimated thatannual revenue from poker was $4.5 billion in 2003. Anotheranalyst group feels 2005 revenue will exceed $10 billion.PokerPulse.com stated that $200,463,154 .00 was wagered at onlinepoker rooms in a 24 hour period on March 13, 2005.
People see the excitement and money that is involved in pokertournaments by watching poker on TV, which is one reason theperception of poker gambling went from being played in darkrooms to a preferred status. The seasoned professional playersare excited about this as well. They are not winning as manytournaments as they have in the past due to the influx ofmany new players, but they are winning more than even becauseof their levels of expertise at the game.
Plus, the makeup of the top players has been changing. In thepast only people who played for years and built up instinctsfor knowing how to win were champions. Now the newer top playersare highly educated, highly successful and are analytical innature. You will see individuals from top professions likeFinancial Analyst, Rocket Scientist, Attorney, and Mathematicianalong with industry CEO's in the ranks of champion. Peoplelike Phil Ivey and Chris Ferguson who can perform mathematicalcalculations in their heads with ease will be the future.
But not having an Ivy League education won't stop enthusiasticpoker players from playing the game. On a televised episodeof the 2004 World Series of Poker tournament, a former homelessman stated in a game he got off of the streets by learning toplay poker. He stated that he learned the game by losing$1500.00, one penny at a time. (For the record he did not winthat tournament, but did leave Binion's with over $40,000 incash.)
And with the 2003 and 2004 World Series of Poker Championsearning their seats from online poker room tournaments, theInternet will eventually be the main producer of players.A huge number of online poker rooms have been sponsoring seatsto top tournaments with buy ins less than $100, which is a farcry from the standard entry fees for these events at land basedcasinos. So keep an eye on what is going on in the poker world,because the excitement is just getting started!

What I mean by that is - have you gained enough poker experience to leave the "newbies" behind and move up a couple of levels? If you have then I would seriously suggest that you start playing for higher stakes, you could be losing out on a lot of online poker profits if you don't.

It was perhaps inevitable, but fans of "NCIS" were able to breathe a sigh of relief. Ducky had been struggling on the sidelines, but had to reluctantly admit that his temporary replacement was doing an admirable job. When he was called in on a case for what he took as pity, Ducky evaluated for a moment whether he even wanted to come back. But would he belong really anywhere else?
He really got a chance to shine in this episode, taking point on a cold case investigation that had been ruled an accident, but that Ducky felt was anything but. And then it tied in with the current case-of-the-week, but Ducky -- still not cleared for active duty -- in the center of all the action.
In the end, the team got their man, and Ducky got the news he hadn't even realized he'd wanted for so long. He was cleared to return to work, and he gladly accepted the opportunity to dig back into his work. As Ziva said, "We are finally whole again."
The reunited team takes on new cases on "NCIS" every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Planting your cotton crop a few weeks earlier could increase your yields by as much as 10 percent, according to a USDA study.
Bill Pettigrew, plant physiologist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Stoneville, Miss., has spent the last five years testing the early-planted cotton production system in small-scale research plots at the USDA research facility.
"You're trading risk for risk, but the yield advantages we're seeing with the early-planted cotton production system may be enough incentive for growers to put a small portion of their acreage into this system," he says.
Pettigrew's current studies grew out of previous research, which suggested the yield potential for cotton could be limited by a shortage of sunlight during critical plant development stages. In order to counter these effects, Pettigrew began trying to shift peak bloom in cotton from mid-July to about the third week of June, when the summer solstice occurs.
While Pettigrew has been unable to shift peak bloom as early as the third week of June, he has been able to move it about 10 days earlier than it would normally occur with conventionally planted May cotton. Under his early-planted cotton production system he has found that, while sunlight appears to be only a minor factor in cotton yield potential, planting cotton earlier does offer a number of other benefits.
The first and most obvious benefit Pettigrew has found with an early-planted cotton production system is increased yield. Specifically, he has documented a 10 percent yield increase in four out of the last five years in the early-planted cotton, as compared to May 1-planted cotton. The only year the early-planted cotton didn't yield better than the May-planted cotton, the cotton was subject to a spell of nighttime temperatures in the 30-degree range shortly after emergence.
In addition to increased yields, Pettigrew says, growers planting cotton during the first week of April may be able to increase their bottom line by avoiding some normal expenses. "By planting earlier, we're producing the better part of the boll crop using good June and July rains. We're also avoiding the very high temperatures in late July and August when the cotton would normally be hitting its peak bloom period," he says. "Growers may also benefit economically with this system by eliminating one irrigation application or late-season insect application due to the earlier crop termination."
An earlier planting date may also result in a considerably earlier harvest. Pettigrew says he has seen an average seven- to 10-day difference in cotton maturity with the early-planting cotton production system.
Despite the economic incentives of planting earlier, there are risks to planting Delta cotton during the beginning of April. According to Pettigrew, however, the risks can, for the most part, be minimized.
First, he says, growers considering the early production system should obtain the highest-quality seed possible. "Seed quality is important because you are putting the seed in a high-stress situation," he says. "It doesn't seem to matter whether you choose a late-maturing variety or an early-maturity variety, because both seem to do well in this system and we've seen little difference between the two so far. What is important is the quality of the seed you plant."
Pettigrew also recommends growers invest in a good fungicide package, including a seed treatment, and an in-furrow fungicide application at planting to reduce the risk of seedling disease attacking the young cotton crop.
"If you can get an adequate stand of cotton, you've gotten over the major hurdle with this system. That means protecting your young cotton seedlings from both disease and early season insect damage, which can delay crop maturity," he says. "You should also only plant your cotton on well-drained land, because if you have standing water at all you are going to have trouble getting a stand."
In addition, Pettigrew says, it is imperative for growers to keep a close eye on the weather forecast for the time period immediately after planting. "Watch the weather forecast. If heavy rains and cool temperatures are predicted in the coming week, you'd be well-advised to wait to plant."

The decision by the Supreme Court is pragmatic, and it underscores our view of IRAs as not being an adequate instrument for asset protection or estate planning.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 27, 2014
According to Forbes, there was a time when individual retirement accounts (IRAs) were recommended as instruments that could be incorporated into asset protection and estate planning strategies. That seems to have come to an abrupt end on June 12th with with the Supreme Court's decision on Clark v. Rameker, 537 U.S. __ (2014) (1).
Clark v. Rameker is a civil claim that emerged from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition filed by in October 2010 (1). Respondent William J. Rameker is a bankruptcy trustee, and he was joined by various creditors who wanted to get their hands on approximately $300,000 held in an IRA that petitioners Brandon C. Clark and Heidi K. Heffron-Clark inherited when Mrs. Heffron-Clark's mother passed away in 2001. The Clarks live in Wisconsin with their six-year old son; they are small business owners whose enterprise fell apart in the throes of the Great Recession.
The Clarks' bankruptcy petition began as a routine filing among more than 1.5 million insolvencies filed across the U.S. in 2010 (2). The couple would have never guessed that their bankruptcy would end up before the SCOTUS years later. The legal vexation started when the Clarks listed $375K in assets considered to be their personal property. Among their assets was the inherited IRA worth about $300K, which they sought to exclude from the bankruptcy proceeding (3).
"On the surface, this bankruptcy seemed pretty straightforward," explains Rocco Beatrice, Managing Director of Estate Street Partners, LLC, the wealth management and estate planning firm that operates UltraTrust.com. "In general, bankruptcy law protects up to $1 million held in IRAs from the clutches of creditors; only a few states do not honor this protection. When bankruptcy petitioners claim exemptions, trustees and creditors will often oppose on general principle, but it's up to the court to review the case and apply the law."
Under 522(b)(3)(C) of the federal Bankruptcy Code, it would seem as if the Clarks had a right to claim the exemption on their inherited IRA (1). This provision essentially protects retirement funds from claims made by creditors and trustees in bankruptcy proceedings up to a million dollars.
Mr. Beatrice offers further commentary on IRAs: "The financial planning industry tends to favor IRAs for various reasons. First of all, saving up for retirement is always a good idea, and the government certainly supports this type of financial planning with tax-deductible contributions and provisions such as the $1 million exemption from bankruptcy. There's also the investment angle, which means that there is a possibility of growth with a reasonable amount of risk."
IRAs are sometimes mentioned in discussions related to asset protection. Mr. Beatrice offers his opinion on this matter: "Our office does not recommend IRAs for asset protection. These are primarily investment vehicles with certain financial advantages, but they do not offer comprehensive protection. Law firms that represent civil claimants know that they are ways that they can get to the funds deposited into an IRA as long as the account is registered to someone, and now we have the Supreme Court decision in Clark v. Rameker, which serves as a cautionary tale in estate planning. In the past, individuals planning their estate thought that passing their IRAs on to their heirs would protect them up to $1 million should they run into financial distress and become forced to file for bankruptcy. It turns out that those inherited IRAs do not offer any protection from unscrupulous creditors and trustees."
Mr. Beatrice is referring to the SCOTUS opinion in Clark v. Rameker, which was written by Justice Sotomayor (1) and supported by the entire bench. The trustee and creditors of the Clarks objected to the proposed IRA exemption on the basis that they believed it could not be considered retirement funds. The bankruptcy court sided with the respondents, and the Clarks took the case to federal district court for review. The Clarks prevailed in this venue; however, the trustee and creditors appealed and won on the basis that the appellate court did not consider the inherited IRA to be protected by the $1 million retirement fund protection from bankruptcy.
"The decision by the Supreme Court is pragmatic, and it underscores our view of IRAs as not being an adequate instrument for asset protection or estate planning," explains Mr. Beatrice. "IRAs stop being retirement funds when they are inherited since the beneficiaries cannot deposit additional money and they are not penalized for withdrawing from the account. In essence, the Supreme Court opined that an inherited IRA stops being a retirement account when it passes to the heirs; it actually becomes a monetary benefit and an unprotected asset. This should make you think twice about leaving your IRA to your spouse and children: Can you imagine the heartbreak of heirs who see their loved one's retirement efforts grabbed by creditors in a bankruptcy proceeding?"
Mr. Beatrice concludes: "Aside from the $1 million bankruptcy provision, IRAs are largely unprotected assets, and now we know from Clark v. Rameker that these instruments are not ideal for estate planning. We have always advised our clients to look at other asset protection and estate planning options such as irrevocable trusts for the purpose of guarding their assets and keep them away from creditors. This protection can extend to heirs, but it must be done in a certain way."

"Social media" is a term we hear often in today's hyper-technology-driven world. But what does it really mean? According to Urban Dictionary, social media is defined as the "participatory online media that utilizes the group to write and direct content, rather than a read-only media. Allows for direct contact between participants." The final sentence in the above definition is the most important to understand when seeking to utilize social media in your job search efforts. Read that last statement a few times out loud to yourself. You'll begin to see the connection between social media and the job search.
Finding a job is about contact, being a participant and networking. Joshua Waldman, author of Job Searching with Social Media for Dummies, states in the first chapter of his book:
As you may already know, most jobs come about through networking, not applying on job boards or aimlessly sending out resumes. Social media tools make networking much easier and much more powerful due to their interactive nature. Thus, when a job-seeker really learns to use social networking well, her chances for finding opportunities multiply exponentially.
Now that you understand why utilizing social media is necessary to land your dream job, I'll share five actions you can take now to increase your chances of reaching your job goals via the use of social media.
1. Find your direction, establish goals and envision job search success.
- Without direction, the path to success is unclear. Figure out where you want to go and where you want to be. Let that be your guide.
- Establish your job search goals before you dive in: "Do I want to be a business consultant, or do I want to be a full-time employee at Intel?"
- Believe that you will reach your career goals and envision yourself at the finish line. As the great Walt Disney says, "If you can dream it, you can do it!"
2. Join LinkedIn and/or maximize it to its full potential.
- Fill out your profile completely; don't leave anything of importance out!
- Make sure your profile picture is professional.
- Your summary should reflect who you are professionally, where you've been (think accomplishments), where you're going and include your specialties in list format.
- Exhaust your list of skills and expertise -- your network can endorse you for these; increasing your visibility when recruiters perform keyword searches.
- Connect, connect and connect some more -- with friends, colleagues, teachers, mentors, professionals within your career field (think those who are in the job you want) and recruiters.
- Ask for recommendations. More recommendations = higher credibility factor.
- Find professionals with whom you'd like to conduct an informational interview to learn more about a job, company, or career field in which you're interested.
3. Use Facebook to interact with future employers and establish your brand.
- Search for businesses you'd like to work for and "like" their pages.
- When businesses post information of interest, "like" and comment to engage and increase your visibility with them.
- Post content related to who you are professionally and never post controversial material.
4. Join and/or utilize Twitter to follow businesses of interest and those who offer industry related information and jobs.
- Create a Twitter handle reflecting your brand (mine is DMCareerPro).
- Search industry keywords, cities or companies to find people and companies to "follow" and learn from -- recruiters and companies post jobs on Twitter!
- Share interesting, industry-related articles, facts or quotes to let people know you're interested, up-to-date and engaged in the conversations surrounding your industry.
- Tweet individuals of interest (think industry experts or article authors) to start a conversation, send a shout out, or give recognition to make yourself visible.
5. Use YouTube for more than just baby and cat videos.
- Create and upload a video resume spotlighting your personality, strengths and what you've got to offer (direct it at specific companies for higher visibility).
- Enter online contests posted by employers seeking candidates.
- Search for industry professionals, companies, or job titles to see what's been posted. Comment on videos and/or post them on your other social media platforms to give recognition. Think reciprocity; when you recognize, others may just do the same for you.
As you can hopefully see, there are many ways to use the power of social media to your advantage while searching for your next big career gig. There's a lot to learn, but don't let that stop you. If I can learn all of this, surely you can. The easiest way to learn is to pay attention to what others are doing and copy their actions. No need to reinvent the wheel here.
Think of social media as your job search ninja sidekick. It doesn't do ALL the work, but if you give direction to and take advantage of its presence, it may just sneak in and make your job a whole lot easier.

Really Good!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Stevie in MN from MN, USA on Thursday, December 21, 2017Bought these for my son, after the first day wearing them, he said, "These are really good!"
That's all I know, if he likes them, I do too!
They do seem well made, sturdy, not flimsy at all, comparable to high end brands and at a great price at STP.
Sizing seems accurate.
PoorVerified Buyer Reviewed by Russ the Hiker from Indfiana on Thursday, October 12, 2017I have been hiking/walking both on and off trail for at least 9 years, ALL WITHOUT BLISTERS OR OTHER FOOT DISCOMFORT. NEVER. In 2017 my wife and I have hiked/walked over 650 miles in the last 6 months. Because I have worn out my other hiking boots I decided to try the Pacific Trail hiking shoes. I developed a blister during the first 5 miles of walking our normal, level, asphalt walking path. This blister was so severe I had to remove the shoe and walk the last 2 miles BAREFOOT. I would NEVER order this brand again under any circumstance. In addition, they fit at least 1/2 to 1 full size too large, meaning that my normal 8 1/2 would require a 7 1/2, but again, I would never order them again. Forget any price they are selling for. If you value foot comfort, do not order these shoes!
Decent shoes for priceVerified Buyer Reviewed by spottedfins from Montana on Saturday, September 16, 2017Ordered shoes and received them quickly. These shoes are good for easy on trail hiking and wear around home. Good value for price paid. Wouldn't pay the normal price for these shoes.

Pastor, Romain & Federico Discuss the 2014 Austrian Grand Prix
Keep On Working
In the first Austrian Grand Prix since 2003, both Lotus F1 Team cars saw the chequered flag with Pastor Maldonado finishing just shy of the points in twelfth position and Romain Grosjean in fourteenth. Hot conditions and the undulating nature of the Spielberg circuit meant a number of cars experienced issues, with both E22s suffering from braking concerns.
Pastor had a relatively positive weekend in Austria and remains optimistic about the weekend and subsequent forthcoming race, "For me in the car it was actually quite a good weekend. We finished the race which is positive and we made the most of the package we had today. We are losing a lot of time in the slow speed corners and we need to keep improving in this area to be more like our good high speed corner performance. Unfortunately we had some brake issues from very early on in the race so I wasn't able to fight others around me, even though it was nice to be running in the top ten during the course of the race. After that, it was a case of saving fuel and brakes to get to the chequered flag. I think Silverstone will suit us much better."
Despite starting from the pitlane due to a gearbox change, Romain did well to rise up through the field at the unforgiving circuit. He spoke frankly of today's race in Austria and explained the main challenges faced out there; "Today hasn't been easy. We had various issues during the race to add to our struggle for overall performance so it was quite a challenge! We stopped very early for soft tyres but unfortunately we soon experienced graining from these which made it difficult for the rest of the race. Looking at the past, the team has always managed to make a great comeback. It might be a bit of a big build-up this time, but I know that we will work hard and do all we can to fight back to where we want to be."
Deputy Team Principal Federico summarised the day; "There are positives from today. Both cars made the chequered flag in what's been a difficult race for many teams. Pastor and Romain really got their heads down and made the most of the cars under them and should be applauded for today's drives. It is obvious where we are lacking against our rivals so our focus going forwards is clear."

Research on body temperature, hormone levels and lung function says that the best time to do any exercise is around 6 p.m., but surveys on exercise habits disagree. Surveys say it is better to exercise in the morning. There are cons and pros to each conclusion.Continue Reading
Exercising in the morning can become a habit more easily. There are fewer distractions and is more free time early in the morning. It also raises your heart rate so that you burn more calories during the day. The cons to exercising in the morning, however, is that the body temperature is lowest one to three hours after waking up, which makes for less energy.Learn more about Running

Since most of you haven't seen pictures of us since July, here are a few from our September trip to St. Louis and Dallas. Because we won't be going to either of these cities for the holidays, we decided to take a trip during one of Ron's easier times to "make up" for being gone later.
Cousin Ainsley, Aunt Erin, She-She, me, Cousin Cami and Annie the Cowgirl
Paw-Paw and Marmee (my parents) with Annie at my grandparents' lake house
All of the great-grandchildren with my grandparents. Annie is in the very middle on the bench with only her sad face showing. My grandfather is saying, "Uh-Oh!" and my grandmother is saying, "Hang on, Pap!"
Cousin Jaden showing Annie how to drive the car. Jaden adores "Baby Annie" and it is the sweetest thing to watch him take care of her and try to make her happy.
And this was actually taken a couple of weeks before at our house when Ron's parents came in town for Annie's Dedication. But since it was so cute, I had to include it :)
One of these days I'll get around to posting in the right month... but not today.

Looking to take a screenshot? Perhaps you need to send one to tech support or just capture something funny to post on Twitter. Let's start with the easiest and most straightforward way: Keyboard shortcuts.
The instructions below apply only to capturing a screenshot on a Windows laptop, and so check out our how-to guides for Chromebooks or Mac if you need that instead.
Quick tips:
Taking a screenshot is simple,regardless of which version of Windowsyou're running. There are only a few steps —assuming you haven't fiddled with the default keyboard controls and shortcuts — and if you need some free image editing software to tweak them, these are our favorites.
Step 1: Capture the image —Assumingthe area you want to capture is displayed on your screen, press the "Print Screen" (often shortened to "PrtScn") key, typically located in the upper-right corner of your keyboard, to capture a screenshot of your entire display (again, including multiple displays). Alternatively, press "Alt + Print Screen" to capture a screenshot of the active window.
If you're on a laptop, you may need to press "Fn" + "Print Screen" if your laptop has another feature assigned to that particular key.
There will be no noise or any other indication the screenshot was taken, but the resulting image will be saved as a PNG file to your clipboard.Unless you're using a version before Windows 8, press the Windows Key+Print Screento automatically save a full-screen screenshot within the "Screenshots"folder of your picture directory.
If you have Dropbox installed, the screenshot will also be automatically deposited in your Dropbox directory, under Screenshots — great for your "Showcase." Microsoft's own OneDrive will do the same if you've told it to do so when you first take a print screen after configuring it. You'll find screenshots in your OneDrive folder in Pictures > Screenshots. We provide additional details on the OneDrive method in the next section.
Step 2:Open Paint—In versions of Windows 10 prior to Fall Creators update, you can open the Start menu, go to "All Apps," and scroll through the alphabetical list until you find Paint. Alternatively, and for Fall Creators update and later, use the Windows search box to look for "Paint" and click the corresponding icon.
If using Windows 7 and 8, you can find the Paint app in a few different ways, but both support the search tool which will find what you need straight away.
Step 3: Paste the screenshot—Once Paint is open, click the "Paste" button in the upper-left corner of the program, choose "Edit" then "Paste," or press "Ctrl" + "V" on the keyboard to paste your screenshot.
Step 4: Save the screenshot—Perform any edits you want, such as cropping the image to a specified area, and click the main "File" option in the upper-left corner, followed by "Save as."
Step 5:Title the new file, choose a save location, and select your desired file format from the drop-down menu. For most purposes, JPG will do fine, but a variety of other formats are available to choose from such as PNG, BMP, GIF, and others. Click the gray"Save" button in the bottom-right corner when finished.
Quick tips:
If you're running Windows 10, you have another option for taking and storing screenshots: Microsoft's cloud storage platform,OneDrive. Once opened, it will ask you if you'd like to automatically save your screenshots to the cloud every time you hit the "Print Screen" key. From there, you can easily access the screenshotsby copying a link. Here's how it works.
Step 1: Open OneDrive—If you haven't yet, go ahead and launchOneDrive on your Windows 10 computer. You can find this free application, which comes with Windows 10, in the Start menu under "All Apps," or by searching for it with Cortana.
If you've already set up OneDrive, the folder should open in Windows Explorer. If not, you'll be prompted to log in with your Microsoft Account — simply follow the on-screen instructions.
Step 2: Press the Print Screenkey—Press the aforementioned "Print Screen" key and you should see a prompt from OneDrive asking if you'd like to save your screenshots to OneDrive. Go ahead and confirm, and from now on, a PNG of your screenshot will be saved to OneDrive every time you press "Print Screen." This also works forAlt+Print Screen, which takes a screenshot of the active window instead of the entire desktop. Your computer will make no sound or other indication when you take a screenshot, but the photos will automatically besaved to OneDrive.
If no message pops up when you pressPrint Screen, you can enable this feature manually. Right-click the OneDrive icon in your system tray, which is located just left of the clock in the taskbar. You may need to click the arrow icon to find this icon. When you find the cloud icon, right-click it and select "Settings." Then, click the "Autosave" tab and make sure "Automatically save screenshots I capture to OneDrive" is enabled.
Step 3: Find and share the files—LaunchOneDrive from the Start menu and open the "Pictures" folder. Inside, you'll find the "Screenshots" folder, which will contain all of the screenshots you've previously taken. You can grab these files and move them to any folder you like, or edit them with your image editor of choice.
You can also share them with friends by copying the appropriate link — simply right-click the file and select "Share a OneDrive link." A URL for sharing the screenshot with a friend will automatically be copied to your clipboard, which you can thenpaste into any email or chat message.
The built-in screen capture utility in Windows works well enough, but it's not the most robust or versatile when it comes to saving a snapshot of your screen. Thankfully, Windows also comes with theSnipping Tool, a built-in utilitythatallows users to better define and capture portions of their desktop display as a screenshot, withoutthe need for a keyboard.
It's a tool that's constantly evolving though and if you're a Windows Insider, you may have access to the latest version with all the newest features. If you aren't running an insider preview build of Windows 10, read on, but for those who want to learn more about the new Snipping Tool, skip ahead to the next section.
Step 1: Open the Snipping Tool—Click the Start menu, navigate to the "Windows Accessories" folder — or the "Accessories" folder, if using Windows 7—and select "Snipping Tool" from the list of native Microsoft applications. The icon depicts a pair of blue scissors with two white ovals beneath. Alternatively, search and open the program using the Windows search bar.
If usingWindows 8, click the down arrow in the bottom-left corner, press "Ctrl" + "Tab"or swipe downward from the center of the displaytoaccess the "Apps View." From there, select theSnipping Tool.
Step 2: Choose the snip type or delay—Once open, click the down arrow to the right of "Mode" in the upper-left corner of the program window, and select your desired snipping type from the list of drop-down options. The full-screen option captures your entire screen, while other options let you specify an area. Additionally, you can define a short delay in case you need to get screenshots of system or context menus which disappear when you select the Snipping Tool.
Step 3: Define the selection—Use your mouse or trackpad to manually define your screen-capture selection. The full-screen snip and window-snip don't provide a ton of leeway in terms of versatility and selection choice, but the latter will still require you to choose the appropriate window before continuing.
Step 4: Save the screenshot—Perform any edits you want, such as highlights or annotations, and click the "File" button in the upper-left corner. Afterward, select "Save As," title the new file, choose a save location, and select your desired file format from the drop-down menu. If your screenshot includes text, you'll notice increased clarity if you save the file as a PNG, but you can check out our guide to different image formatsto help you choose the best one for each scenario.
Step 5: Share your screenshot —Click the gray"Save" button in the bottom-right corner when finished, or if you prefer, you can click the envelope icon to email the screenshot as an attachment.
Introduced with Windows Insider build 17661, the new Snipping Tool makes taking screenshots and annotating them easier than ever. Easy snipping means that you no longer need to go through the menu system to save a screenshot with the tool. Simply open it, define an area and it will be automatically saved to the clipboard where you can paste it where you want.
Blending the old world with the new, you can simply press your keyboard's "Print Screen" key to open up the snipping tool if you enabled it through the Keyboard Settings page. Alternatively, you can click the tail-end of your Pen device if you remap it to that function through the "Pen and Windows Ink Settings" menu. You can also use the longer, Windows Key + Shift + S command.
If you want to make some edits to that screenshot, such as annotations, or remove sensitive elements, you can do so through the new Screen Sketch app. To access it quickly, Microsoft's new build throws up a notification when you make a 'snip' that when clicked, takes that screengrab straight into newly standalone Screen Sketch app for alteration.

Boeing blames labor costs, federal budget cuts and global competion for its plan to leave Wichita. But the decision stings like a betrayal – one eliminating 2,160 local jobs, breaking promises of tanker-finishing work, and bringing a mutually beneficial 80-year relationship between the city and the company to a bitter end.
After weeks of assuming the worst, and no rumors to the contrary, Wichita got confirmation Wednesday that Boeing would be leaving town by the end of 2013, taking with it any hope of direct jobs from Boeing's $35 billion contract to build the Air Force's aerial-refueling fleet.
So much for the Kansas congressional delegation's relentless, decade-long advocacy for Boeing on behalf of the tanker deal, and for the bond between the company and the community where it employed 40,000 people during World War II and 12,400 as recently as 2004.
Instead, work on the KC-46 tanker will go to Washington state, while engineering and modification work will move from Wichita to Oklahoma City and San Antonio, respectively.
The stated reasons for Boeing's move sting, too.
Not that "the defense budget is flattening out and may decline," as Mark Bass, vice president and general manager for Boeing Defense, Space and Security's Maintenance, Modifications and Upgrades division, told The Eagle editorial board Wednesday afternoon. That's likely, even with the tanker contract in hand.
What stings is that pulling out of Wichita reportedly was necessary to reduce costs, increase efficiencies and drive competitiveness. For example, Bass said, Boeing Wichita's costs for modification work figure out as 70 percent higher than those of its San Antonio operation, which is nonunion.
"Cost-cutting won," as Richard Aboulafia, Teal Group aviation and defense analyst, told the Hill newspaper.
And Wichita lost.
It's some comfort that Boeing still plans on using 24 Kansas suppliers for the KC-46, and that Kansas is the fourth-largest state in Boeing's supplier network.
As Bass said, "We have a tremendous amount of business here" – something elected officials should bear in mind for the future.
But Wichita certainly will miss the estimated $1.5 billion in wages over 10 years, its association with Air Force One, and its long, proud status as a Boeing town.
Wichita's survival is not in doubt, and Boeing's exit may afford Spirit AeroSystems – the former Boeing commercial division – more opportunities and room to grow.
As general aviation recovers, so will Wichita's remaining planemakers.
And Wichita will have to replace its long-held hostility toward Airbus with a welcome mat, approaching the European planemaker's Wichita workforce of nearly 300 engineers as only the beginning.
Meanwhile, the community needs to keep Boeing workers and their loved ones in its thoughts, hearts and prayers. Uncertainty looms for them, as it has for so many aircraft families in Wichita over the past decade.
For the editorial board, Rhonda Holman

Under 4 PoundsBraille Lithium-Ion Technology produces a battery with more power that is lighter, stronger and more efficient. Braille's signature cranking power and over 50%lighter.
Braille Lithium delivers a higher, cleaner voltage which improves the performance of every electrical component and has shown to provide:
• Quicker starting (a full volt higher than lead and less voltage drop during cranking)
• Improved engine management & data logging performance (more stable voltage)
• Less horsepower draw from the alternator due to efficient charging (5 times faster than lead),
• Lasts 3-5 times longer (especially under the harshest environments),
• Much more reliable (less than 1% failure rate)
• Significant weight savings. (up to 1/4 the weight)
• Don't self-discharge, so if the battery is disconnected (no draw or via power disconnect switch), they can sit for over a year and still have over 13 volts to start the vehicle.
To get all these benefits in one simple step makes it a very cost effective upgrade!!

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. But that doesn't mean there aren't things we'd all like to change about our abodes. (Contributed)
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. But that doesn't mean there aren't things we'd all like to change about our abodes. For us, number one on that list would be the kitchen. With an inefficient layout, dated cabinets and fixtures, and a hideous floor, it's definitely in need of an upgrade.
But where, as first-time homeowners, to start? Call an expert.
Progressive Cabinets designer Jessica Berry started her career as a lighting consultant and pursued kitchen concepts as a way to add flexibility and variety to her schedule.
"I love to cook and I'm passionate about decor so kitchen design came pretty naturally to me when I started four years ago," says Berry, who works directly with builders and their clients, as well as one-on-one with clients on renovation projects.
She and her husband have been renovating houses together for the past five years.
"We have had houses with seaweed-insulated walls, rotten sills, very questionable electrical, plumbing and ventilation, as well as one house we picked up and moved from one end of town to the other," she says. "When it comes to renovating kitchens, it's not very often I see a problem I can't offer a solution for.
"I always like to say; there are no problems, just opportunities for creative solutions."
It was her positive attitude, and lack of flow in my kitchen, that prompted me to invite Berry to our home for a consultation. Here's what Berry had to say about our kitchen:
"You have a typical 1960s, eat-in kitchen, designed for families where mom cooked alone," she says. "So many changes have happened to how we use spaces since then. These days, food preparation is a family affair, and the kitchen has become the heart of the home."
I couldn't agree more with the way Berry summarized our space. She also pointed out some specific and significant hurdles we need to overcome, including:
The work triangle is awkwardly laid out. The distance from the fridge to the sink is quite long, as is the distance back to the stove. The solution for this is to bring the fridge and stove closer to the sink.
There's a major pathway through the space that crosses directly in front of both the stove and the fridge. Pulling the fridge and stove to the other side of the room will really help with this. A desk area is less obstructive.
The stove has a counter on the left, but not the right. No good. This was taken into account in the new design.
The table is in the middle of the space, which means it has to either be pushed against the wall, or if it is in the middle of the room, you have to walk around it to get from the stove/fridge to the sink. Removing the table from the kitchen altogether is the best option. Seating can be efficiently incorporated elsewhere in the kitchen, and the dining room can be reclaimed as a family dining space.
Using her creativity and expertise, along with special attention to our preferences and how we intend to use the space as a young family, Berry crafted two unique plans (see sidebar) of how we could renovate our kitchen within a variety of budget points.
"I am a huge fan of kitchens built for entertaining, so comfortable seating areas are included in most of my designs," she notes. "Islands that can seat guests and family on two sides are more conductive to conversation and entertaining than only having an overhang on one side. I also like replacing china hutches with built-in cabinetry to create more room in the dining spaces."
Every journey begins with a single step. Now that we've met with a trained professional, we have a much clearer idea of how we'd like our kitchen to look. The next step: paying for it. Check out next week's Herald Homes where we'll be chatting with an expert from PC Financial about how to best fund your dream kitchen reno.
Exploring the options
Option A: An efficient U-shaped kitchen with a raised bar between the kitchen and dining room
"This would still offer a level of separation, but open up the space dramatically. The fridge, stove and sink would be in an efficient work triangle, with plenty of countertop between them. The cooktop would be in the newly-created peninsula, facing the dining and living rooms, so you can keep an eye on the kids while you're cooking lunch, or still visit with guests while plugging away at Christmas dinner.
We would keep your built-in pantry to keep the cost down, and install a custom desk where the fridge and stove were to give you a working area where you can keep an eye on dinner while answering emails. The desk would have drawer storage and a filing drawer. There would be two glass doors and an open shelf for cookbooks, etc."

|Option B (Contributed)
Option B: An efficient, multi-cook, L-shaped kitchen with an island
"This would create a truly open-concept kitchen and dining room, with a casual hang-out space for the whole family. This design puts less emphasis on the traditional work triangle and creates work centres within the kitchen. Cooks can work on two sides of the island and maintain a conversation with each other, and with guests sitting at the overhang on the other two sides of the island.
Berry started her career as a lighting consultant and pursued kitchen concepts as a way to add flexibility and variety to her schedule. (Contributed)
The stove is located on the back wall, with a beautiful, modern stainless-steel chimney range hood to act as a focal point. The fridge would be located to the right of the kitchen window and the wall between kitchen and dining room removed. The long island is designed to act as a casual dining space for the family. We would still have the desk area, with cabinets to the ceiling, and two glass doors, for china and special glassware (read: breakable!) out of reach of little hands."

Why the harsh title?
1. This is the man that said he wanted to cut off Obama's man parts.
2. Do you really believe he's a Reverend?
3. This is the man that said being the Foodstamp President was a good thing…
Let me explain the definition of insanity to you Jesse:
if you teach kids people hate them because of the color of their skin, they will begin to hate the color of their skin
if you teach kids the government is supposed to take care of them, they will wait for the government to show up
if you teach kids to take from the Rich to give to the Poor, they will rob
The Rich" in their own neighborhood
if you teach kids abortion is okay, they will not see the problem with death
Now you cry? Now your heart breaks? You have no heart. You have proclaimed yourself "Leader" and attitude is the direct result of leadership. YOU HAVE FAILED!
Not in Obama's city! In YOUR city! Where YOU, and YOUR SON, have supported yourselves as Poverty Pimps way before Obama ever set foot in Chicago.
You and Al Sharpton and Father Pfleger, all in Chicago, all preaching Socialist agendas, and all watching the death grow. The poverty grow. The family break. Watching the very people you are supposed to represent crumble before your eyes.
And there's your answer, Jesse, to why Obama won't show up in Chicago. If you don't give a damn about the people, why should he?

Khloe Kardashian is opening up about her broken marriage to Lamar Odom, confessing to knowing about her estranged husband's infidelity long before the world found out.
In a new teaser for an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the reality star breaks down in an emotional plea to sister Kourtney, explaining that she's "so over" covering up for the NBA star's cheating ways.
"The way I was living is not a way to live!" Khloe says. "I kept in hiding every time there was something going on. I would have to lie, or conceal, or cover up, and I'm so over it!"
She continues, "Last year on my birthday I lied to everyone because I had to lie and say I was with my husband when in fact my husband was missing with another girl!"
In another clip, Khloe also clashes with with mother, Kris Jenner, over Lamar. After Kris stops her daughter from drunkenly calling her former lover to "cuss him the f**k out," Khloe accuses the Hollywood matriarch of siding with Lamar. Any way you put it, it's not pretty.


text: "Illegalities and misappropriation of funds in different projects was not possible without the collusion of both parties — the PCB and the contractors." FIA further said. However, PCB denied all the allegations. It said that they fired Col (R) Mohammad Bashir, of infrastructure department because the inquiry committee recommended this action. PCB defended the Cricket Academy project by saying "The said amount (mobilization cost) was an advance payment required due to hurdles being faced in the completion of the project. The payment was later adjusted against the total contract amount and the PCB did not suffer any loss. For the Far End Pavilion project, the additional payment was not excessive and it had to be made due to revision of designs by the consultant," said the spokesman.

Teen who was raped is raped again while looking for help: cops

BARCELONA, Spain — Some 50 people needed medical treatment after a Spanish commuter train crashed into the buffers at a station in northeastern Barcelona early Friday, Catalan government officials said.
Regional health chief Antoni Comi said 54 people in all received medical treatment, with 51 taken to city hospitals. He said just one person was seriously injured.
"When the train arrived at Francia station it applied the brakes but at the same time it made a noisy crash," said Said Saharaui, a passenger on the train.
"The passengers were thrown to the floor," he said. "Even though the train did brake it wasn't until the crash when it reached a full stop."
Damage was done to the train's nose and between the train's first and second car.
Public Works Minister Inigo de la Serna, who visited the scene of the accident, said the train had passed its most recent inspection on July 18. He said officials are investigating data and equipment from the driver's cabin to try to ascertain the cause of the accident.
He said the 31-year-old driver has eight years of service on commuter trains.
The accident happened at 7.15 a.m. The train had started at the coastal town of Sant Vicenc de Calders, south of Barcelona.
In the immediate aftermath of the accident, emergency services gave several different figures for the number of passengers injured.
Comi said some 18 emergency service units were deployed. "We were able to attend to the injured very quickly," he said.
Barcelona's Clinic Hospital said the seriously injured passenger was a man and that his life was not in danger.
The accident came as RENFE rail workers staged a one-day strike. The affected train was running as part of minimum services ordered by the Public Works ministry.
Friday saw many people beginning their summer holidays, with Barcelona and surrounding towns popular destinations.
Francia is Barcelona's second main train station after Sants, which handles the bullet train and most intercity services.

Trupanion Reviews – Week of 5/9
Thank you Trupanion for helping my dog Radar get though his spinal surgeries and he is doing well and can walk again!- Andra Young and Radar
Our vet submitted 10 insurance claims for us for past few months. So glad we have @Trupanion. #olddog -@pfindling
Thank you @trupanion for the speedy delivery of our checks! I filed the claim for Rio's toe 8 days ago and already got paid. How awesome is that? I'm so pleased that we got insurance for Rio and that we chose this carrier. I thought it would have taken at least a month! This money is really needed right now too. Thank you #trupanion #petinsurance #awesome #fast #usethem #ilovemydog #dogsofig #catsofig #petsofig #happycustomer -@rio_the_red_nose
You never know when your pet might have a need for special care. In the last week, I have had my dog to animal hospital ER, and now have an appointment with a neurology consultation. Within 24 hours, Trupanion has a check in the mail for their part. Also Probie, had been scheduled for surgery on his hip, which they have pre approved. All of this could not have been done without the assistance of Trupanion. One hopes in getting pet insurance you will never have to use it, but is a comfort knowing they will be taken care of in the event they do need it. -Sandi S.
You are truly an amazing company. I would be happy to be a referral and/or provide a testimonial for you to use across your marketing efforts. -Carson H.

(Reuters) - Tom Coughlin has retained his post as head coach of the New York Giants, despite the team's failure to reach the playoffs since 2011, co-owner John Mara announced on Tuesday.
The Giants went 6-10 in the National Football League regular season that ended on Sunday, but Mara said he still had faith in Coughlin and general manager Jerry Reese, who will also keep his job.
"It's been a very difficult year for our fans. It's been even a more difficult year for me because I don't stomach this very well but I do think there is reason for optimism," Mara told reporters.
"I think we'll be a much better team next season but we're going to have to prove that, because just talking about it is not very convincing right now but we still believe in this coach and this staff and in our organization."
Coughlin, 68, has been head coach of the Giants for 11 seasons, leading the team to two Super Bowl victories. Only two NFL coaches have been in their current positions for a longer period of time.
News of Coughlin's retention by the Giants came a day after three teams ditched their head coaches -- the Chicago Bears (Marc Trestman), Atlanta Falcons (Mike Smith) and Rex Ryan (New York Jets) -- after suffering dismal losing seasons.
The San Francisco 49ers are also looking for a new head coach after Jim Harbaugh left by "mutual" agreement to take the top job at the University of Michigan.

Book Trilogy Ticket
Resistance Saga: WHEN THE MOUNTAINS TREMBLE
In 1982, Pamela Yates was a novice documentary maker setting out to tell the story of the oppression of the indigenous people of Guatemala. She could not have imagined that thirty years later this extraordinary film would become part of the trial that indicted Guatemalan dictator Ríos Montt.
Resistance Saga: GRANITO - HOW TO NAIL A DICTATOR
When Pamela Yates made her first documentary, When the Mountains Tremble (1982), she could not have imagined that 30 years later it would be used as forensic evidence in the trial against Guatemalan ex-dictator Efraín Ríos Montt.
Resistance Saga: 500 YEARS + Q&A
Part 3 of the Resistance Saga
The UK Premiere of the final searing film in Pamela Yates' epic Guatemala trilogy, 500 Years explores the war crimes trial of General Ríos Montt and the toppling of corrupt president Otto Pérez Molina.
