Windows 8 Pro x64
Cannot access old HDD in usb case, "Invalid"
Somehow (It might have been me), system files used for windows were unaccessible or corrupted so I would get a BSOD on boot and a screen telling me that my laptop couldn't boot. I had no backups of any sort because I didn't have any external drives that were large enough (>400GB). So I had to order a new larger and faster HDD (I have been meaning to for a while just never had this kind of motivation to). I got it today and have installed it and successfully reinstalled windows and some other programs and am typing this because I put my old HDD that was in my laptop, put it in a external USB enclosure and when I plug it in (both to this laptop and another desktop that I have running Windows 7 x64 it doesn't let me access the drive. It doesn't even appear in windows explorer even though the computers detect that it was plugged in and the hard drive is whirring and clicking. On my laptop in Disk management it recognizes that it is a Dynamic Disk but says invalid and doesn't give any info on it. Is there any way to fix it or just access the files so that I can get all of my data off without deleting the files first. I have recently found a 500GB external HDD that I can transfer the files to if I can access them.
Edit: I have solved it, I managed to find a program that works perfectly and have already copied all possibly needed files before I wipe the old hdd (Program is called Find and mount).

Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
Hi Darkstar1756,
Welcome onboard.
I have heard that EaseUs Partition Manager can do it.
Free convert dynamic disk to basic disk without data loss under windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8 and Server 2000/2003/2008 32 bit and 64 bit.
TestDisk can also be used to copy all files to another external Disk (as a matter of abundant caution) and rewrite the partition table to convert it to baslc. Data will not be lost but even if it is lost, one has already copied it to another drive.
One can also use Hexeditor to make a small change in the first sector to make it basic. Seems to have worked for many.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
Skip Simpson is a bona-fide Barnstable resident, double taxpayer, and registered voter. He served time with the U.S. Navy as part of a helicopter search and rescue team. He does his civic duties. He can vote for the local town council, school committee, state representative, congressman and president of the mighty, overgenerous and fiscally abused United States.
But he can't vote to elect a simple fire commissioner where his heavily taxed and tourist-dependent business is located. Therein lies one of the inequities of the archaic but untouchable fire district system that rends the town with five autonomous political fiefdoms that tax and spend without townwide oversight or input.
When it comes to parity of the vote, Simpson, despite being a town resident, veteran, family man and owning a business in Hyannis, complains that he is denied a ballot, therefore, a voice in the budget approval process of the Hyannis Fire District. But when it comes time every year, the district sends him a love note: Pay your district tax, or else…and Simpson does.
Pre-empting him from a Hyannis vote is that he doesn't also "live" in Hyannis, where his business is located, but in another village in the same town with its own fire district. Lord forbid that a man with two properties in town and paying two taxes be allowed two votes, one in each district where he pays taxes.
The issue looms large now as the Hyannis Fire District contemplates a new fire station that Simpson says could cost as much as $20 million that his business profits, no matter how large or small, will have to help amortize. And, he feels, the non-voting Hyannis business community will be paying a disproportionate, and thus, unfair, share of the cost...all that without a say.
Briefly put, Hyannis business pays, in addition to a real property tax, a personal property tax. In addition it pays another amount because of the exemption for residents, whose load is lightened. Simpson says that his Hyannis Fire District tax bill equaled 45 percent of his business's town tax bill in 2010.
"There is something wrong when elected officials give voting constituents a 'tax break' at the expense of the non-voting constituents, or, in other words, there is something wrong when disenfranchised constituents are assessed more than voting constituents." The revolutionaries had a term for it: "Taxation Without Representation."
Like the town, the fire district has a real estate tax exemption that benefits residential property owners at the expense of non-resident businesses small and large that pick up the difference, again with no voice in the matter.
Just last week, the Hyannis Fire District approved another $675,000, in addition to a previously passed $3 million land appropriation, just to design and permit a new station, again without the voice of local businessmen of Simpson's ilk. And further, an effort to cap the construction spending at $8 million failed. Perhaps Simpson could be right, that the total cost could reach $20 million, a big chunk for a little district. He doesn't overlook the possibility that someday soon the district tax on his business could exceed the municipal tax…and that without him being able to vote on it.
I toured the fire station a few years ago and can say the village has grown faster than the physical fire department building. Things are very tight in there, possibly pinching response time and affecting morale. But with the COMM Taj Mahal still in mind, jittery Hyannis villagers ask who benefits from a station too large, the crew or the taxpayer?
There seems to be an ingrained tendency to construct public buildings "for the future" rather than "for today." The larger the building, the more maintenance and utilities costs. Like some Cape school districts, including Barnstable, school building needs were overestimated. The result is unneeded classrooms and expenses as enrollments dwindle in a changing world.
It is understandable that an owner of a business in Hyannis who lives in Chatham be denied a vote since he or she is not a registered voting resident in the town. But Simpson is a voting town resident, yet the Hyannis Fire District franchise treats him as though he were from Bora-Bora.
There is another voting issue worth mentioning about fire districts. They have the same problem town meetings had (and still have) with conflict-of-interest voting. It is usual for a town councilor, for example, to abstain from voting on any issue that will directly benefit him or family.
Meanwhile, teachers and their families still vote on self-interest issues at town meetings, and fire department personnel and families, who usually make up the bulk of fire district voters, can vote an any item from which they personally benefit.
If one learns anything about Barnstable and its fire districts over years of observation, it's that that they have been elevated to royalty by the populations they serve, voting inequality and self-interest balloting notwithstanding. They are not going to change. The voting system will see to that.
It means Mr. Simpson is barking at the moon.

Marvel Creating Short Films for 'Captain America' and 'Thor' DVDs?
Considering how popular the animated shorts are that play before Pixar movies -- combined with the fanboy excitement that builds for those post-credit sequences in all the Marvel films -- it makes complete sense for Disney and Marvel to merge those ideas and begin shooting live-action short films to include with their upcoming Marvel slate. Where, exactly, we'll see these short films is still up in the air, but according to Film School Rejects the first two have been shot and will be included on the Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor DVDs.
The site claims via a source that Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson is the star of the first two shorts, which makes sense for several reasons. Not only is Gregg the most flexible actor to work with (schedule wise), but he's also a character Marvel wants the audience to get to know more since he'll return again for The Avengers in 2012 with a meatier role. In fact, we bet both these short films factor directly into The Avengers and will probably be spun as Avengers back-story prior to that giant superhero mash-up arriving in theaters next May.
What Marvel will do with these short films after The Avengers is not known, though they could be used to help familiarize the audience with lesser-known characters and test out which ones attract the most buzz (or as a way to set up their next movie). Would you support Marvel breaking in to the live-action short films arena with their characters, or would you rather them stick to shorter, geekier post-credit sequences (or both!)?

2004-05 UCLA Women's Basketball Outlook
Oct. 14, 2004
Coach Kathy Olivier saw her team take the next step and advance into the NCAA tournament last season, and she is anxious to get started again in the 2004-05 season. The Bruins welcome back 11 returning letterwinners, including three starters, and add two talented newcomers from a recruiting group ranked among the nation's best. Seven of the 11 returning letterwinners saw action in at least 18 games this past season, including five players with starting experience from a year ago.
'The excitement from our finish last season has not gone away,' said Olivier. 'We jelled as a team about midway through last season and came on strong during the final 10 games to secure a NCAA bid. It was fun to watch the team grow more comfortable with their roles last season and start to enjoy consistent success. Now we feel there is an excellent opportunity to build on it and have a really special season in 2004-05.'
Coach Olivier's Bruins will look to move up from last year's third place Pac-10 finish. A trio of returning starters are back - first-team all-conference guard Nikki Blue, who averaged 15.2 points; Pac-10 Freshman of the Year Noelle Quinn, who scored 15.9 points a game; and honorable mention all-conference performer Lisa Willis, who poured in 14.3 points per contest.
In 2004, the Bruins bounced back from a 4-6 Pac-10 start to win seven of the last eight conference matchups and finish in a tie for third place with ASU and USC. A win over Arizona State in the quarterfinals of the Pac-10 tournament helped to secure a NCAA bid for the Bruins, who totaled 17 wins on the season. The third place conference finish was UCLA's highest since winning the Pac-10 title in 1998-99. The Bruins dropped a hard-fought NCAA opening round contest at Minnesota, 92-81, in a game that was tied with 1:30 to play.
The Bruins are set to return one of the finest backcourts in the nation with its 'Big Three' of Blue, Quinn and Willis. The threesome combined to average 45.4 points, 18.7 rebounds, 8.4 steals and 10.2 assists a game in 2003-04. Each player ranked amongst the Top 10 in the league in scoring (Quinn - 6th, Blue - 7th, Willis - 10th), the Top 5 in the league in steals (Willis - 1st, Blue - 2nd, Quinn - 4th) and the Top 15 in the conference in rebounding (Quinn - 6th, Blue - 12th, Willis - 15th).
Defensively, the team ranked tied for seventh nationally in steals per game (12.3). UCLA allowed 63.8 points per game in `03-04 to rank as the third-lowest mark in school history and the lowest since the 1976-77 season (59.7). The Bruins gave up more than 66 points in regulation only seven times during the regular season. The opponent shooting percentage of .410 ranked as the fifth-lowest in school history. UCLA led the Pac-10 in steals and turnover margin.
Offensively, the Bruins netted a school-record total of 150 three-point shots. The team shot 81% from the free throw line over the last 11 games and finished with a .707 percentage, which ranked as the fifth-best season mark in school history.
Blue and Quinn each earned first-team all-conference honors last season. Quinn became just the third Bruin freshman to be named first-team all-conference, joining Maylana Martin in 1996-97 and Blue in 2002-03. Quinn was also honored as the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, becoming the fourth Bruin to earn the honor. Willis, the only player to start all 30 games last season, earned honorable mention all-conference honors in her first season as a starter.
Junior point guard Blue scored a school NCAA record 33 points in the loss at Minnesota. Her season assist total (148) ranked seventh on the school list. Blue's total of 89 steals was also the seventh-best in school history and ranked 28th in the nation. She had 12 games where she scored at least 14 points and had five assists. Over the last 10 contests of the season, she averaged 6.4 assists per game. 'Nikki has proven that she can help lead a team to victory in a number of ways over the last two seasons,' says Olivier. 'She has become a complete and consistent performer.'
Wing guard Willis, a junior, averaged 16.1 points per game over the final 11 contests of the season. She led the Pac-10 and ranked 11th in the nation in steals (3.3). Willis set a school record with 70 made three-point shots and moved into second place on the school career list with 116 total treys. Her season total of 100 steals, a sophomore class record, was the third-most ever by a Pac-10 conference player. She had 13 games when she totaled at least 15 points and had five rebounds. 'Lisa Willis stepped it up in a big way, both offensively and defensively,' said Olivier. 'She seamlessly stepped in to a starting role and responded with big numbers.'
Quinn averaged 20.5 points and 9.1 rebounds per game over the final 11 contests of the season while shooting 87% from the free throw line. In a game at Cal on Feb. 19, she recorded the fourth triple-double in UCLA history with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Her 21-point effort that evening gave her six straight games with 20 or more points, a UCLA freshman record total. During the season, she connected on 30 straight free throws to fall just shy of the UCLA and Pac-10 record marks. She scored in double figures in the last 21 straight games of the season. 'Noelle became one of the steadiest, most spectacular freshmen in Bruin history and provided leadership beyond her years,' said Olivier.
Lone senior Sissy Pickett, a 6-7 post player, saw action in 11 games and was an important plus on the inside in several contests. Junior forward Julia Pitts and junior guard Ortal Oren also return. Pitts saw action in 18 games, starting nine, before a knee injury that required surgery ended her season. She averaged 3.9 points and 2.8 rebounds and is expected to be ready for the start of practice in October. Oren was on the floor in 28 games and averaged 3.2 points. She has been asked to play more of a role each year with the team and this season will be no exception. Junior forward/center Emma Tautolo is also back. She saw action in 24 contests, provided a key inside presence in several, and scored 1.9 points per game. It is that physical aspect of her game that will enable her to gain more playing time.
Also returning to the sophomore class are forward Amanda Livingston, forward/center Consuelo Lezcano and guard Shaina Zaidi. Livingston gained valuable experience as the first inside player off the bench in most games last season. She played in all 30 games and averaged 4.0 points and 2.2 rebounds. Lezcano saw action in eight games and showed outstanding promise in her limited action. She more than held her own in several of her appearances and is a player to watch as she gains more experience and develops more confidence.
In addition, 6-1 redshirt junior Brittany Ringel returns to the team. A starter on the women's volleyball team at outside hitter, Ringel played basketball in her true freshman season of 2001 and saw limited action. She sat out the 2002 campaign and returned last season to see action in two contests.
Freshman Lindsey Pluimer headlines the incoming freshman class. Pluimer, a 6-3 forward from San Clemente, CA High School, averaged 24.6 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists and was named a McDonald's and Parade All-American. She was selected CIF-SS Division I-A Player of the Year the past three seasons.
Freshman guard Lauren Pedersen averaged 14.7 points as a prep senior at Brea Olinda High School in Orange County. She led her team to the CIF Southern Section II-A championship and the Division II Southern California Regional semifinals. She was selected the CIF-SS II-A Player of the Year the past three seasons.
'I can't wait for the start of practice,' says Olivier, who is set to begin her 12th season as head coach at UCLA and 19th season overall on the Bruin bench. 'This year we will have as much athletic talent, with as high an experience level, as we have ever had in my time at UCLA. We will miss the leadership and production of Jamila Veasley, Whitney Jones and Gennifer Arranaga, but we add a couple of outstanding recruits who will fit in nicely with our veterans.'
'I am counting on the junior class, as a whole, to provide points, defense and leadership once again this season. They gained a lot from their successes of last year.'
'Once again we are playing a high-quality pre-season schedule, which includes games with Texas, Purdue, Ohio State and Clemson. We also have a key season-opening tournament at Miami, FL, which includes Texas Christian. There is no better way to help prepare for the challenge of competing in the Pac-10.'
Sissy Pickett (6-7, senior) is the tallest player in UCLA women's basketball history. She ranks among the all-time high school scoring leaders with a total of over 4,000 career points. She has worked hard to make the adjustments to the next level and has proven to be a solid performer in certain situations.
'Sissy has worked hard to put herself in position to have a role on this team,' said Olivier. 'She has become someone we can rely on for an outstanding effort in the course of a game and at practices. We can count on Sissy to do whatever it takes to make the team better.'
Julia Pitts (6-2, junior) was a three-sport standout (basketball, volleyball and track) at North Torrance, CA High School. She was selected during the summer following her senior season as the Cal-Hi Sports State Female Athlete of the Year. However, injuries cut short each of her first two basketball seasons at UCLA. As a freshman, she suffered two torn knee ligaments in a December game against Baylor and was lost for the balance of 2002-03. At the time of her injury, she led the Pac-10 conference in shooting percentage with a .674 mark and had been a starter in the first eight games of the campaign. She was averaging 10.0 points and 5.9 rebounds. Last season, she started nine times and saw action in 18 contests before undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus in her left knee on Feb. 12, 2004.
'Julia's first two seasons with us have ended early due to injury,' Olivier said. 'We hope that this is the year she returns to full health and shows everyone what she is capable of doing. She runs the court so well that few players can keep up with her. Julia also brings a number of intangibles to a team because of her spirited play.'
Emma Tautolo (6-2, junior) was an all-league performer in both basketball and volleyball at Moreno Valley, CA High School. She has seen action in 50 games off the bench the past two seasons as a post player. She averaged 2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in her initial season and 1.9 points and 1.3 rebounds last season.
'Emma has had several solid games in which she showed excellent promise,' Olivier said. 'We will look for her to be more consistent this season and work to become more physical. She is a capable inside player who can be a real plus for us.'
Noelle Quinn (6-0, sophomore) put together one of the best first years in UCLA history last season. She was a starter in 26 of the 27 games in which she played and was named the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year. Quinn ranked among the all-time school top 10 for freshmen in points (sixth-430), rebounds (sixth-207), assists (ninth-85) and steals (10th-60). In the Pac-10 conference, she ranked in the top 10 in seven categories -- sixth in scoring, fifth in rebounding, ninth in assists, fourth in steals, seventh in assist/turnover ratio, fourth in defensive rebounds and ninth in offensive rebounds.
Quinn joined Ann Meyers and Erica Gomez and became only the third player in UCLA history to record a triple-double with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a game at Cal. She set a school freshman record with six straight 20-point scoring games. She poured in a career high 31 points, the fourth-most ever by a UCLA freshman, in a win over Arizona. This summer, she was named to the pre-season watch lists for both the Wooden Award and the Wade Trophy.
As a prep performer, she helped her team win four league titles, three CIF Division III championships, four California Regional Division III crowns and four CIF state championships. She was also selected a McDonald's and Parade All-American.
'Noelle can handle the ball, run the court, key the defense, battle inside and be a threat from the perimeter,' Olivier said. 'Once she achieved a level of comfort on the court last season, she really took off, and so did the team. She can do it all and can make everyone around her a better player as well. She also displayed a leadership aspect which is unusual for a young player.'
Amanda Livingston (6-1, sophomore) saw action in all 30 games last season as a freshman, with one start. She was often the first inside player off the bench. Livingston averaged 4.0 points and 2.2 rebounds in her initial campaign and will be asked to do more this season.
Livingston was a two-time MVP of the Freeway League who averaged 17.5 points and 8.3 rebounds as a prep senior at Fullerton's Troy High School. She helped her team to a pair of CIF Southern Section Division II-AA titles in three seasons.
'Amanda is a very competitive player who took some time to learn what she could do at this level,' Olivier said. 'We expect her to use this season as a starting point for some big things. She makes things happen on the court and in the paint. She will outwork you on the inside and still get up and down the court. She plays bigger than her height in the post.'
Consuelo Lezcano (6-4, sophomore) was a two-sport (basketball and volleyball) star at Marathon, FL High School. She averaged 21.2 points, 15.5 rebounds and nine blocks as a prep senior.
Lezcano was brought along slowly as she adjusted to a different level of play in her first college season. She has worked hard this off-season to improve her game.
'Consuelo adds size and speed to our interior game,' Olivier said. 'She did not play much last season but more than held her own when she did see the court. The coaching staff saw plenty to be excited about. As she gains experience, she could become a big plus for us.'
Lindsey Pluimer (6-3, freshman) was a McDonald's All-American selection last season at San Clemente HS after averaging 24.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.8 blocks, 2.7 steals and 2.8 assists. She set nine school records in her prep career and led her team to four consecutive CIF-Southern Section I-A titles.
'Lindsey has always played at the highest levels and has been well coached all along the way,' Olivier said. 'She knows the game well and is ready to step in and contribute right away at a power forward slot. Lindsey can shoot the three and score down low on the block as well. She has long arms and uses them to her advantage, especially on defense.'
Nikki Blue (5-8, junior) was regarded by several publications as the No. 1 combo guard in the country coming out of high school. She earned her second-straight first-team All-Pac-10 conference honors last season after averaging 15.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per contest. During the summer, she was named to the pre-season watch lists for both the Wooden Award and the Wade Trophy.
Blue is a very capable playmaker who has dished out 251 assists in her two years at UCLA. She started 29 games last season and ranked seventh in the Pac-10 in scoring, 12th in rebounding, third in assists, second in steals and sixth in assist/turnover ratio. Her 148 assists tied for the seventh-most in UCLA history. Blue's 33-point scoring day against Minnesota set a school mark for a NCAA tournament contest. Her 89 steals last season were the seventh-highest total in school history.
'Nikki evolved into a leader with the ball last season,' Olivier said. 'She can have an impact on a game in so many ways; it is hard to stop her. The balance she has in her game has improved each season and helps to make both her and the team that much better. She will strive to be even more consistent this season, after another year of experience, and take the team up to another level.'
Lisa Willis (5-11, junior) was the only Bruin to start all 30 games last season. She averaged 14.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in her first season as a starter. Willis set a school record with 70 made three-point shots, and her total of 100 steals was the third-most ever by a Bruin. She ranked first in the Pac-10 in steals and made three-point shots, 10th in scoring, 15th in rebounding, seventh in three-point shooting percentage and seventh in defensive rebounding.
Willis had a tremendous game last year at Cal with a career-best 31 points, connecting on six three-point shots. She added seven rebounds, four assists and eight steals (tied for eighth-best total in school history). The junior had at least three steals in 20 games last season.
'Lisa took a big step up for us last season and had some amazing games,' Olivier said. 'I think she can continue to grow this season and become more consistent. She is a scoring threat anywhere on the court and has proven to be a major plus at the defensive end. She has worked hard to improve her game and it has paid off.'
Ortal Oren (5-9, junior) appeared in 28 games off the bench last season. She averaged 3.2 points and displayed a soft shooting touch. In 11 games, she played at least 10 minutes.
'Ortal has given us some solid production in her first two seasons,' said Olivier. 'She has improved her game to the point where she is on the verge of gaining some major minutes. She must now take that next step. She is a winner and high-achiever both on the court and in the classroom. She has put a lot of work into becoming a more complete player at both ends of the court.'
Shaina Zaidi (5-8, sophomore) saw action in nine games last season. She showed steady improvement over the course of the season in practices and will look to use that experience to her advantage when competing for playing time this season. She averaged 22 points and six assists for Marlborough High School in Los Angeles and helped her high school team to three straight Sunshine League titles.
'Shaina gives us a solid ball handler on the perimeter,' Olivier said. 'She has been in our camps for a number of years and is very familiar with our system. She is a good decision-maker with the ball and made steady progress during her freshman season.'
Lauren Pedersen (5-10, freshman) averaged 14.7 points per game at Brea Olinda High School in Brea, CA. She helped her team to the CIF Southern Section II-A championship last season. The last three seasons she was named CIF-SS II-A Player of the Year.
'Lauren has a great knowledge and sense of the game and uses it to excel,' Olivier said. 'She anticipates well and is a serious scoring threat from the perimeter. She will play the one or two guard position for us.'

Arizona Democrats put forth an education funding plan that replenishes some of the resources that have been slashed from schools since 2009 without raiding the voter approved State Land Trust Fund, or the First Things First Fund.
Our plan:
- Supports a long-term investment and the foundation for Arizona's future economic success
- Provides nearly $4 billion for public education during the first 10 years and protects funding levels after that
- Does not rob future generations by harming the principal of the state land trust fund
- Does not raise taxes and can be implemented immediately
This plan also complies with the court order on which Republican leaders continue to drag their feet. Rather than listen to the will of voters and fund children's education they've been playing political games to intimidate education advocates.
As long as I continue to represent Arizona families I will make sure there are alternatives to Republican leaderships' draconian education policies. Please support us by forwarding this information and sharing it with your social networks with the graphic below.

Your Guide to a Successful New Year in Online Marketing
We all want 2016 to be a kick-ass year. So in order to ensure its fabulousness (that's a word, right?!), we want to provide you with a plan to rock your world of content marketing and social media. To execute an incredible return on your time and investment, you need a strategy—and that's exactly what this is.
Here are our 4 steps to increased productivity and a successful New Year in online marketing:
That's right—you need a plan. When managing various accounts, it can get messy, fast. In order to be able to track progress and keep your accounts straight and moving forward, the following steps are recommended:
- Focus on three ideas. For each account, try and decide what the online focus should be. For example, at Fresh + Fit, we try to pinpoint our social media and blog content to these three points of interest: social media marketing, blogging/writing, and the city of Vancouver. Creating content and managing our clients' social media in the Vancouver area is what we do—so we try to focus on that. It keeps us accountable to what our business is about, and ensures that when guests arrive at our website or Facebook page, the content will be interesting, informative, and above all, predictable in its topics.
- Manage monthly editorial calendars. This literally means planning out the month for each account you manage by filling in event dates, promotions your clients' businesses may be running, and anything else that the social media posts should convey on behalf of your client.
- Create tangible goals. Working towards set goals helps keep your intentions clear and therefore easier. Goals such as increasing client retention by x-amount, or signing a certain number of new clients per month are helpful to keep you accountable. Without set goals, we don't know how we're doing, or what we're working towards, and this slows down productivity. Aside from business goals, it's also important to set personal ones.
- Dream BIG. Don't limit yourself—set both short term and long term goals, and keep them visible. Your short term goals should lead to your long term ones, and your long term ones should be big enough to make you yearn for success and drive you to work towards them. An example of a short term goal might be to sign five new clients within two months; a longer term goal might be to hire two new employees by the end of the year, and an even longer term goal might be to expand your business within five years.
Your short term goals should lead to your long term ones, and your long term ones should be big enough to make you yearn for success and drive you to work towards them.
- Time management. Learning to manage your time and do it well is what sets apart the successful and those who just don't make it. Wasting time will not help anyone, while learning to manage your work hours wisely will result in greater productivity and an overall happier YOU.
- Don't cut corners. When we recommend you use your time wisely, we are not talking about cutting corners and thereby producing an inferior result for your clients. Do your job to the best of your ability, and you'll feel confident about your skills and what you have to offer. (Which is important when you're your own boss and need to sell yourself to potential clients.) The same goes for your personal life—cutting corners will result in decreased happiness.
- Track your progress. Most social media platforms have built-in tools that allow you to track the progress and productivity of each and every post that you send out. The same goes for blogging, although depending on the site and/or host, you may need to install your own analytics plugin. The point is, you have valuable information at your fingertips, so use it.
- Ask for feedback. There's nothing wrong with asking your clients or even a fellow blogger/social media maven about your posts and writing. Get some feedback, and consider using it to make what you do stronger. Remember: better results will garner higher client retention and referrals.
Work Load
- Only take on what you'll do well. And by this, we mean only accept or source out work that you can really dig your teeth into—don't take on too much and end up producing inferior results for your client.
Only accept or source out work that you can really dig your teeth into.
- Avoid burnout. Burnout will make you panic, and your life will be (if only temporarily) harder. Avoid burnout by doing what we recommend above: limit yourself to the amount of work you can realistically take on. If you are being pummeled by clients asking for more work to be done, consider hiring out! And don't feel guilty about turning away work or telling someone no: people would rather find someone who can focus on their projects than hire exhausted help and receive poor execution. (And trust us: they'll respect you for having the ability to turn away work when you need to.)
- Learn to adjust. As you go along with your year, you'll notice how you're able to juggle more efficiently and you'll recognize what your limitations are. Adjusting your expectations and tweaking your goals is a good thing. You may find you're capable of much more than you originally thought, or you may hit a wall faster than you had anticipated. Whatever happens, adjust. We all do it.
Real Life
- Make time for good food. Remember to eat well, and stay hydrated. You're working in an industry that contributes to flat bums and an increased desire for artificial sugar and a lot of caffeine. Beat the stereotype by chowing down on food that gives you real energy and honest nutrition.
- Spend time with family and friends. This may seem silly to have to write, but work can take over your life if you let it—especially if you're working from home, and/or for yourself. We totally understand your desire to try and get everything done and learn about how to do it bigger and better, but don't forget to blow off steam and maintain healthy relationships. These relationships will save you time and time again from yourself—we promise.
- Get up and move your body—often. Again with the flat bums, right? Sitting and working on your laptop for hours on end isn't good for a body that's designed to move. Help yourself out by getting up and moving around every hour or so, and if you can fit a quick workout or walk in or even go up and down the stairs a few times in the middle of the day, your body will thank you.
Sitting and working on your laptop for hours on end isn't good for a body that's designed to move.
- Work meditation into your daily routine. There are many entrepreneurs who absolutely swear by the positive effects of nightly meditation. (See Russell Simmons' number one rule for successful entrepreneurs below!) When you're gazing at a your computer for hours each and every day, your brain needs to way to quiet itself and power down. Mediation can help—even if it's only for five minutes just before bed.
- This one is BIG, guys. Sleep is our natural way of recharging, repairing, and sorting out unconscious thoughts and emotions. Think 4-5 hours a night cuts it? No way. You need 7-9 to recharge properly, and anything less will do more harm than good.
So with all of this information, we hope you implement it and have the best and most productive New Year you've had yet. Online marketing is fun, and you should have a good time while producing great results for both you and your clients.
Happy New Year! Check out the following video:

A recent cartoon in the Cairo daily al-Ahram showed an ogre labeled ''terrorism'' bound by ropes and guarded by an enthusiastically grinning Egyptian. The caption read: ''Hosni Mubarak: preserve the citizens' rights.''
Out in the world beyond newsprint, Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's new President, is still not sure the ogre has been subdued. There is plenty of reason for his doubt.
In recent days the government has revealed more about an apparent plot to overthrow the Egyptian government and bring about an Islamic republic - of which the assassination of Anwar Sadat and subsequent antigovernment attacks in upper Egypt and the Nile Delta were part. Mr. Mubarak said Oct. 23 he believes ''the target of this plan was to wipe out every leader'' in Egypt, including those in the opposition.
Although Cairo has been relatively calm lately, a series of gunbattles broke out Oct. 25 between police and underground Muslim groups in several parts of the city. One fundamentalist was killed and 397 were arrested. As a result, Mubarak has promised to redouble efforts to ensure the peace.
With inordinate thoroughness, Egyptian police are stopping thousands of cars going in and out of Cairo each day, looking for weapons and wanted men. Handbags and parcels are searched at the entrances of public buildings. Even television is being used in the campaign; broadcasting photos of wanted men, running footage of the Sadat assassination, and interrupting programs to report on bomb blasts at Cairo airport.
''They are trying to scare everybody into accepting the new security measures ,'' complains an Egyptian liberal.
Armored cars and truckloads of bored soldiers secure strategic buildings, but they are fewer and more discreetly placed now than they were just after the assassination. Friday mosque services - heretofore used by militants to denounce the government and launch protest marches - have been peaceful (and sparsely attended).
High security seems out of place in this easygoing, cosmopolitan, generally law-abiding country. Many are asking whether freedom and order will be allowed to coexist here. The answer is that for the time being, President Mubarak, a career military man, believes order will have to have top priority.
This is distressing news even to the softest critic in Egypt today (the most bitter having been effectively silenced by Mubarak and Sadat with the estimated 3,500 political arrests in the past seven weeks). An iron-fist policy, critics argue, could be detrimental to educational, literary, and political developments in Egypt - and might even cause an anti-Mubarak backlash.
''It will be very bad for Egypt. What I see is Egypt becoming more of a police state,'' says an Egyptian. ''And it could cause the militants to get a following.''
But that dire prediction came after agreement that for at least six months the domestic situation will of necessity have to be heavy with security.
The question of freedom and order is as old as Egyptian civilization. Pharaonic dynasties rose and fell under first authoritarian then concessive kings. In the midst of vast deserts, Egypt has historically needed a strong central government to prevent a breakdown in the allocation of the life-sustaining Nile waters.
How much control is too much? Admirers of Sadat argue that he had been much more lenient than President Nasser, who had dissidents incarcerated in concentration camps in the desert. By Middle Eastern standards, neither Sadat nor Nasser were brutal. There is no record of paramilitary squads and midnight abductions on the scale, say, of Iraq, Libya, or Syria.
One high-level official told the Monitor that insurgents (he singled out those of the Muslim Brotherhood and its more violent offshoots, such as Takfir Wal Hijra) would have to be dealt with ''firmly - otherwise they will think the government is weak.''
Mubarak has said those involved in the assassination and apparent coup attempt will be put on public trial. But the official says Mubarak is listening to counsel that argues for leniency toward some of the 3,500 recently imprisoned - especially men such as journalist Muhammad Heikal.
Can opposition parties and press be allowed to operate once more in Egypt?
For the time being, probably not. But political observers believe if Mubarak begins to feel confident he has eliminated the violent opposition - bound the ogre - after six months or a year, then he could ease restrictions.
Like Sadat, Mubarak is said to be aware that the ruling National Democratic Party has no grass-roots support among Egypt's 12 million voters and that officially sanctioned opposition parties have little more. There is a large, pro-government ''silent majority,'' and Muslim fundamentalists enjoy substantial sympathy (though actual operatives are believed to be a fervent few).
Virtually all of the media is government controlled. Journalists say the government's takeover of their syndicate has had a chilling effect on reporting in Egypt. But here, again, Mubarak is not expected to relent for the moment. In the long run, the story could be different.
A leading Sadat critic in Cairo points out that there is some reason to believe that the recent attempt to stifle dissent precipitated the assassination. He argues that Mubarak must be careful to monitor the mood of Egypt rather than make decisions in isolation, as Sadat tended to.
''You know with Sadat, when he first came to power (in 1970), he was so humble and said how could he follow Nasser,'' the former Egyptian official recalls. ''Then people around him started saying 'yes, Nasser was good, but Sadat is good in his own right.' And he believed it. And soon that is all he wanted to hear.''
Many Egyptians would not agree with such a critical view, but it does seem to point a moral about the pitfall of ruling without dissent: You don't hear the warning that the ogre is coming.

As the Charlotte Hornets easily go through the Brooklyn Nets with a 113-99 win that saw the usual contribution from Kemba Walker and some surprising one from Troy Daniels, Jeremy Lin had one of those games that didn't really stand out as either good or bad, while his fans made a much bigger impact by going after unjust officiating against him, and in a way against anyone who isn't considered a star by the officials and the NBA. More
The Charlotte Hornets beat the Sacramento Kings and DeMarcus Cousins 129-128 in a double overtime game behind mostly Troy Daniels, Jeremy Lin and Marvin Williams, while Kemba Walker had another one of those disastrous shooting nights that almost cost the team a game. More
The Houston Rockets find themselves on the verge of elimination after losing 123-120 to the Portland Trail Blazers in another overtime game between the two teams. Jeremy Lin made a huge blunder at the end of regulation, maybe blowing a win for his team, but James Harden continues to be immune when it comes to accountability for mistakes, resulting in another bad performance from him when it mattered the most. More
Somehow, the Houston Rockets are still alive in this playoff series. Maybe it has something to do with Jeremy Lin diving for a ball James Harden lost and then giving it a wide open Troy Daniels to knock down the biggest shot of his career, helping the Rockets win 121-116 in overtime against the Portland Trail Blazers, getting their first win in the series, narrowing the lead down to 2-1.

Distance: 9.2 miles round trip on trail and cross country
Summit Elevation: 8333'
Prominence: 4573'
Elevation Gain: 4930'
Elevation Gain (in Empire State Buildings): 3.94
Round trip time: 6 hours 30 minutes
Recommended water: 152 oz.
Parking/Fees: $22/person permit fee, includes Northwest Forest Parking Pass
Difficulty: Strenuous
My first stratovolcano and first active volcano. This mountain became famous by exploding May 18, 1980 losing about 1200' of elevation and the entire north face in the process. So much of the mountain slid into nearby Spirit Lake that it permanently raised the elevation of the lake by 200'. My family and I were vacationing about an hour away in Portland, but this day was set aside for volcano climbing. I had invited a few people along but for various reasons it ended up a solo adventure.
I had purchased the permit back in February when they went on sale. I left the hotel a little before 5 AM to pick up the permit and parking pass at the Lone Fir Resort in Cougar, WA, which is more of a general store and motel than what the term "resort" conjures. I attached the permit to my pack then drove to the trailhead at Climbers Bivouac. During the summer, only 100 permits a day are issued. It was 49F when I hit the Ptarmagin Trail around 6:45 AM and climbed the first couple of miles through the pine forest to the top of the tree line. Blue diamonds marked the trail, but unless it was buried in snow, the trail was wide and obvious. It was weird seeing the tree line end so cleanly, the terrain replaced with an ash and pumice boulder moonscape. Above the tree line, there were wooden poles that marked the monitor ridge route. After scrambling over the boulders to follow the poles, I spotted a trail in the gully left of the ridge going up. I dropped into the gully and made better time by avoiding a lot of needless boulder hopping. Unfortunately, after a mile or so I was forced back on to the ridge to avoid the remnants of a glacier. My progress slowed while I navigated the boulders, probably a mile or so of scrambling. I was expecting to see several major seismic monitoring stations, but only passed one.
When the boulders and wooden pole markers ended, the wind started howling and I put on my outer shell and face protection to stay warm. In front of me was about a 1000' wall of ash to climb to get to the crater rim. There was a use trail leading up, but it was not very helpful, generally a straight up slog. I ground out the last bit to find a few people at the crater rim taking in the views. No one I talked to had been to the true summit and did not seem interested when I pointed it out. After taking a few shots of the smoking lava dome, I headed up the rim on the left toward the true summit. No snow got in my way, but this was probably the crux of the hike. I had to drop about 100' down one section, go up and over a higher part of the rim, then traverse over boulders on another part with some exposure. Then, another 200' climb to the highest part of the rim and summit where a large cairn was built. I was alone at the summit. I took more photos of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Hood, and was fascinated by the obvious cornice melting in the summer sun. Rocks and snow were constantly crashing into the crater as the cornice melted, while steam rose from two or three spots in the lava dome. It was riveting to take in all the geology. Seeing how much mountain was blasted away, I got a better sense of how immensely powerful the explosion must have been. I started back and got below the wind on part of the rim before stopping to eat something.
Close up of the lava dome. The dome is over 300' tall
and surrounded by the Crater Glacier that started forming in 1980-81.
The way down was much faster, except for the boulder section which took about the same time going down as up. When I got back to the tree line, there was a USFS forest ranger checking permits of people going both ways. He turned two parties back and we had a short conversation about the rock slides into the crater. It was quite a bit warmer at the lower elevation so I stored my gloves and outer shell. I completed the round trip in 6.5 hours, a bit faster than my plan. Before driving away, I got a tree-obscured view of Mount St. Helens from the parking lot. I stopped by Lone Fir Resort again to sign out so no one would think I was missing. While not a record breaker, Mount St. Helens was challenging and fun with unique active volcano views.

- What: Dead Space Extraction
- Where: Tesco Entertainment
- Current Price: £7.20 with 20OffGames-1 voucher code
- Dead Space Extraction Price Comparison
Personally, I rate Dead Space Extraction higher than any of the core Dead Space titles. Let me explain. The gameplay blends exposition, story and action together into a seamless whole, bolstered with outstanding voice acting and an edgy script. You'll find yourself rooting for the characters far more than you ever will for Isaac- and the first person perspective makes the horror far more immersive. Oh, and it's probably worth mentioning that it's one of the best light gun shooters to have hit the shelves in years. Buy it.

I wanted you to see it here first: "The religious liberty issues that SB 1062 attempts to address are legitimate ones, and I believe there is a way to draft language that would address the concerns of everyone involved and avoid the acrimony and notoriety that have accompanied this bill's passage. As governor I would veto SB 1062, but would then bring together all the interested parties before this legislative session adjourns to forge consensus on acceptable language protecting religious liberty. I believe everyone involved are all people of good will, and I believe we can find common ground that will serve Arizona well."

· Congressman Paul Gosar: On Thursday, I announced my co-sponsorship of the Save American Workers Act, which would repeal ObamaCare's new definition of full time employment as 30-hours and restore the traditional 40-hour definition.The botched rollout of ObamaCare made clear this law is broken and needs to be repealed and replaced. ObamaCare reduces full-time employment hours, raises taxes, interferes with the fundamental doctor-patient relationship, causes premiums to skyrocket and eliminates health insurance plans that millions of Americans were promised they could keep.
Thanks to ObamaCare redefining the traditional work week as 30 hours, millions of Americans are losing income upon which they desperately depend. Single mothers, recent college graduates and low-income families are forced to pick up second jobs just to make ends meet. Ironically, changing the definition of full-time employment to 30-hours is forcing people to work more, not less, because they need multiple jobs. There was a time when our country fought to limit work to 40 hours per week, now we're fighting just to get 40 hours of work. This legislation is simple; all it does is change the definition of a full-time work week back to 40 hours. Consequently, it allows hardworking Americans to keep more disposable income in their pockets and prevents them from being forced to take on another job just to make the equivalent amount that they made under a 40-hour work week.

Happy day! Just a few weeks after Fortune, Sports Illustrated, and Time Magazine offered free iPad access to print subscribers, technology mag Wired has made the same move: if you subscribe to the print edition, you get current and back issues in the iPad app, no extra charge.
(Full disclosure: I'm an occasional contributor to Wired.)
That is, of course, the way magazine subscriptions should work. As publishers have discovered, subscribers feel insulted when you ask them to pay twice for content. I know I did.
With Wired, all I had to do was enter my subscriber number (which conveniently arrived in an e-mail) to gain full access to the digital library. If you're not already a subscriber, you can get one year of the digital edition for $19.99--obviously a much better deal than buying individual issues for $3.99 apiece.
Incidentally, CNET TV called Wired "the best digital magazine on the iPad," and I'm inclined to agree. The app closely replicates the look--if not the feel--of the print edition, while adding various interactive elements (videos, pop-up extras, and animated graphics) that complement the content rather than distract you from it.
Let's hope more magazines follow suit, as I'm rapidly growing accustomed to reading both print and digital editions at my leisure. I'm looking at you, Entertainment Weekly and Men's Health.
What magazines are you hoping to see on your iPad?

"Parks and Recreation" (tonight at 8:30 on Ch. 4) has been on a real hot streak this fall. It's consistently been the best of NBC's Thursday comedies, and I'd go so far as to call it the best comedy airing on TV right now.
Unfortunately, not enough people are watching the hilarity, perhaps scared off by the show's bumpy beginnings last spring. So I enlisted "Parks and Recreation" star Amy Poehler to pick her favorite moments so far on the series, which I'll offer up in a moment.
First, though, I have to give you my own personal favorite, from last week's episode, "The Camel," in which the taciturn head of the parks department, Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman), enjoys his shoeshine a little too much:
And now, Amy Poehler presents...
My Ten Favorite Moments on Parks and Recreation... So Far... In No Particular Order
Ann and Leslie go on a practice date.
It was very fun to get harassed by Rashida Jones in a nice restaurant. Its not the first time. I really enjoy how terrible Leslie's dating track record is.
|practice date
Ron has a hernia. April asks what's wrong.
In a perfect scene, Ron Swanson is frozen at his desk because he sneezed, and April suspects something is wrong. I could watch Nick Offerman do anything, but I especially enjoy it when Aubrey Plaza is quietly torturing him.
|Ron and April
Andy crying when Greg Pikitis wears him down.
I love how a sixteen year old kid was the perfect nemesis for the Parks Department. During his "interrogation" Andy was totally unmatched, and as usual, Pratt plays Andy as a hilarious mix of cocky and childlike.
Dave thinks Madeline Albright is Leslie's grandma.
Louis C.K. is a great actor, and I love when he is uncomfortably flirting with Leslie. When Dave doesn't recognize Madeline Albright in a picture on Leslie's desk, Leslie has a crisis moment where she wonders if he is the right guy for her.
Ron and Tammy ripping their clothes off before they get to their motel room.
Megan Mullally is incredible. She ripped her shirt off at 6:30 AM. First shot of the day. Unscripted. What a pro.
Tom becomes moved by a piece of art.
In last week's episode, we see Tom look at an abstract painting and lose his mind. He can't believe he is moved by art. As usual, Aziz Ansari is hilarious.
|Tom loves art
Fred Armisen and The Venezuelans come to Pawnee.
I loved it when Fred's character did a run about all the reasons a person could be arrested in Venezuela. Most of it was improvised. Fred is awesome.
|Venezuela and jail
Everything at the pit
Leslie falling into the pit. Mark trying to kiss Leslie at the pit. Mark falling in pit. Andy jumping in pit. Andy living in pit. Leslie and Ann filling pit. "Pit" becomes "Lot"
Leslie looking out her window on a rainy day.
This was a simple scene in our first episode, where Leslie talks about her dream for a park. Greg Daniels was directing Michael Schur's script. I was looking out the window thinking about what it would be like to stay optimistic and hopeful. How I would need to prepare myself for a new project that would take years, and how it would be hard but amazing work. It is my favorite scene to date.
Snoop asking Michael "How's my hair" as they sit together in an SUV.
Oh, wait. This is my favorite moment from The Wire. Scratch that. But watch The Wire if you haven't already. Great stuff.
(Alan's note: If you haven't already watched "The Wire," don't click on this link to the scene in question. Then do what Amy says and watch "The Wire." And "Parks and Recreation.")

If stem cells could save your child's life,
shouldn't you know more?
Once a newborn's umbilical cord has been cut, the remaining blood in the cord and a piece of the umbilical cord are collected.
As the process takes place after the umbilical cord has been cut, it is RISK-FREE, FAST and PAINLESS for both mom and baby.
Salveo Swiss Biotechnology offers South African parents the most affordable options to store their babies' stem cells combined with sustainable, world-class quality standards. Storing your baby's umbilical cord stem cells with Salveo Swiss Biotechnology will give you access to the treatments provided by currently known stem cell therapies, while storing tissue stem cells in sustainable formats for potential future use.
Salveo Biotechnology South Africa is jointly owned by JSE-listed Ecsponent Limited and international biotechnology group, Esperite. Headquartered in Geneva Switzerland and with a footprint in over 40 countries across three continents, Esperite is a Swiss private state-of-the-art laboratory, specialising in the cryopreservation of stem cells, cell culture and regenerative medicine.
Due to its association with Esperite, Salveo Biotechnology South Africa is governed by the protocols and procedures of Europe's largest stem cell bank and the renowned Swiss quality ingrained in every aspect of the business to ensure consistent quality. All laboratory processing takes place in the Cryo-Save South Africa laboratory, which is accredited by the AABB (formerly American Associations of Blood Banks). The AABB's testing standards and accreditation program is the gold standard for stem cell storage laboratories.
- The most affordable umbilical stem cell storage option in South Africa
- Customisable payment plans over 12, 24 and 60 months
- Discounts applicable to specific medical aid members and groups associated with our partners
- Options to store cord blood only, or a combination of cord blood and tissue.
Blood stem cells can be used in the treatment of more than 80 diseases. This doesn't mean they will be used and using them doesn't guarantee success. Each case is unique and only a doctor can determine eligibility.

Academic options at the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center are determined by the school in which the student is enrolled. However, whether a Rotary Peace Fellow is enrolled at Duke or UNC, each cohort of Fellows studies together in a required 3-credit-hour core seminar each semester, designed specifically to study an aspect of peace and conflict resolution.
At the University of North Carolina, Rotary Peace Fellows study in the department or school to which they are admitted. Fellows have received master's degrees from the following departments in recent years:
• Global Studies (Please click here to read more about the program which began in the Fall of 2014)
• History
• Public Health (including degrees in Maternal & Child Health, Public Heath Leadership, and more)
• Russian and Eastern European Studies
Rotary Peace Fellows at UNC have the opportunity to take courses outside of their department at both universities in addition to completing departmental requirements. The UNC website provides detailed information on each department of the university, its requirements, faculty, and course offerings.
Rotary Peace Fellows accepted at Duke University will study for the Master of International Development Policy (MIDP) at the Duke Center for International Development (DCID). MIDP is a unique interdisciplinary program dedicated to the training of mid-career professionals who plan to dedicate their careers to policy-making and public service in and for developing and transition countries. The mission of the program is to provide top-quality, personalized education in international development policy and to make contributions to international social, political and economic development.
MIDP is a small environment with fewer than 50 students accepted each year, coming from all over the world. In addition to required MIDP seminars, students may take courses in other graduate departments at Duke University as well as at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Students design their course of study with the assistance of their faculty advisor.
MIDP employs faculty whose teaching, research, and consulting experience encompass a broad range of issues, including sustainable economic development, public finance, nongovernmental organizations, development management, community-based development, international trade, and environmental and social policy.
For a complete description of the MIDP program as well as admissions requirements, the curriculum and course descriptions, please review the MIDP website.
The curriculum at the Duke-UNC Rotary Center includes:
• Four to five core courses (for a total of 12 credit hours)
• Monthly seminars
• Applied Field Experience (summer internship)
• Professional development trip to Washington DC
• Annual Rotary conference
Core Courses
Whether a Rotary Peace Fellow is enrolled at Duke or UNC, each cohort of Fellows studies together in a required 3-credit core seminar each semester, designed specifically to study an aspect of peace and conflict resolution. The current curriculum is as follows:
|1st Year
|2nd Year
|Cornerstone Seminar (1.0 credit hour; at Duke)ANDIntroduction to Peace and Conflict Studies with Professor Rosemary Fernholz (2.0 credit hours; at Duke)
|Human Rights and Conflict with Professor Catherine Admay (3.0 credit hours; at Duke)ORCapacity Development with Professor Frank Webb (3.0 credit hours; at Duke)
|Conflict Management: The Practice of Negotiation and Mediation with Professor Shai Tamari (3.0 credit hours; at UNC)
|Capstone Seminar (1.0 credit hour; at Duke)ANDIntroduction to Design, Monitoring, & Evaluation of Peacebuilding Interventions with Isabella Jean (2.0 credit hours; at UNC)
Monthly Seminars
The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center organizes 6-8 monthly seminars during the academic year for Fellows. These seminars vary but may include a private meeting with a major public figure, a professional development workshop (such as public speaking), or outside experts in the field of peace and conflict resolution. Some of our seminars are open only to Rotary Fellows while others are public events. Examples of seminars during the 2011-2012 academic year:
• Seminar with Edward Giradet, journalist and author, on "Journalists: a force for humanitarian action?", which was video-conference with multiple Rotary Centers
• Lunch seminar with Trita Parsi, President of the National Iranian American Council on the topic of US-Iranian Relations
• All-day workshop on public speaking skills
• Panel Discussion at Duke on Collaboration between the Military and NGOs, with Lt. Commander Can Straub, Dr. Chris Seiple and US Ambassador (ret.) David C. Litt
Professional Development Trip to Washington DC
During the first academic year, all Rotary Fellows from Duke and UNC participate in a two-day professional development trip to Washington DC, which is organized in cooperation with the MIDP program at Duke. Fellows attend a series of informational meetings at the World Bank and numerous other NGOs and international organizations which are headquartered or have offices in the area. Time is also built into the schedule to allow participants to arrange their own meetings and interviews. This excellent networking opportunity is often the first step in arranging the required summer internship. All costs associated with this trip are covered.
Summer Internship
All Rotary Fellows must take part in a summer internship, also called Applied Field Experience (AFE). The AFE is a requirement of the Rotary World Peace Fellowship and is funded, at least in part, by the fellowship.
The AFE takes place at the conclusion of the first year of study, during the summer break. Most internships are for a duration of 8-12 weeks and give Fellows hands-on experience as a complement to the academic work learned in the classroom. Rotary Fellows arrange their own internships with assistance from the Managing Director, the MIDP Professional Development Coordinator and RWPF alumni.
Past Rotary Peace Fellows at the Duke-UNC Rotary Center have undertaken internships in organizations around the world, including:
• Partners for a Democratic Change, Washington, DC
• Grameen Bank, Bangladesh
• UNDP Bureau for Crisis Prevention & Recovery, New York
• Institute for Historical Justice & Reconciliation, Netherlands
• UNICEF, Geneva, Switzerland
• Care International, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
• UNESCAP, Bangkok, Thailand
• Habitat for Humanity International, Costa Rica
• UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations, New York
• European Commission to the EU, Vietnam
• World Bank, Washington DC
Annual Rotary Conference
Rotary Fellows at every Rotary Center participate in a one-day annual conference, during which graduating students present their master's research to an audience of peers, faculty, Rotarians and the general public. The conference is the culmination of nearly two years of hard work by each Fellow at Duke and UNC. It is an exciting event which involves considerable preparation on the part of the Rotary Center Board as well as all of the Rotary Fellows. Click here for more information about the most recent conference.

Self Myofascial Release Techniques, often referred to as SMRT, utilizes cylindrical foam baffles to help rehabilitate a wide range of injuries. Popular with athletes, therapeutic specialists and fitness enthusiasts alike, its use is thought to stimulate regenerative growth and to reduce chronic pain through trigger points in the fascia, or covering of the muscle.
The muscles, bones and joints are insulated by a specialized connective tissue called fascia. Along with tendons and ligaments, fascia is a type of dense connective tissue and it covers the whole body from the head to the toes. There are three layers to the fascia -- the superficial fascia, the deep fascia and the subserous fascia. Deep within the fascia there are speculated to be trigger points that are precursors to certain types of muscle injuries. A foam roller is used to massage these triggers points and reduce the risk of injury.
Foam rollers can be purchased in 1 foot or 3 foot lengths and are also available in a number of different densities from a soft foam to high density rollers that feel more solid. A large, heavily muscled individual may find that the high density roller is more beneficial, whereas a smaller, less dense individual may want to start with the soft foam roller.
A foam roller is thought to have the best benefit on the lower extremities. Place your unsupported hamstrings on a foam roller. Using your arms to support yourself, slowly roll your hamstrings over the roller until you reach a tender spot. Hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds or within limits of pain.
An erector spinae stretch is performed by positioning the foam roller at the t-2 vertabrae. Draw your legs into your chest to aid in stabilization of the roller and lower them to the floor. Slowly roll your body from side to side resting on the muscle that runs parallel to the spine.
When using a foam roller, it is important that you find your tender spot and hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds. This will in the release the of hypertrophied muscle within the fascia and lead to an increased possibility of healing. Some individuals may take longer to activate the action, and this position can be held up to a minute. Foam roller therapy exercises can be used prior to exercise as well as during cool down.
