With the new year comes a clean slate along with many resolutions. This month's blog hop challengeHere's my take on the challenge:
involves you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that
might be collecting a little dust! Go through your stash and see what little used treasure it might hold.
I just had to make something fun for Valentine's Day which was perfect for this challenge since I haven't used my Valentine's stamps for quite some time!! I also decided it would be fun to use a My Timeless Templates for this challenge too!! I don't think that I have even used the Tucked Away Template yet, so it's about time!!

Can you recommend a good love story in the mode of The Bridges of Madison County?
Margo responds:
Classic literature abounds in love stories and, like The Bridges of Madison County, a lot of them don't exactly end happily ever after. In fact, many of the most memorable are heartbreakingly tragic. Anna Karenina, in Leo Tolstoy's tale, gives up her husband, her social standing and eventually her life after falling hopelessly in love with Count Vronsky. And there is nothing sadder -- or more romantic -- than the love affair between Frederic Henry and his nurse Catherine Barkley in A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway.
One of my favorite contemporary stories of love lost is Ian McEwan's Atonement, the tale of a young girl whose lie sends her sister's boyfriend off to jail (and eventually off to World War II) before the couple can begin their life together. In Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient, the love of Katharine Clifton and Count de Almasy is consummated, but in the end she loses her life and he winds up disfigured. At least Inman, the Confederate deserter in Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain, after walking hundreds of miles to return to Ada, gets a brief reunion with his long-lost love before... (I won't spoil it.)
More recently, these two love stories still haunt me: The History of Love, by Nicole Krauss, and My Jim, by Nancy Rawles. In The History of Love, a young man writes a book called The History of Love in tribute to the woman he loves, but leaves the manuscript behind when he is forced to flee the Nazis. The book is published under someone else's name but eventually returns to its author as two love stories intertwine. In My Jim, told entirely in dialect, ex-slave Sadie Watson teaches her granddaughter about how love endures by telling the story of her husband Jim, who was also a slave but who escaped down the Mississippi with a white boy named Huck.

In an unpublished opinion, Division II affirmed a trial court's grant of summary judgment against George Nervik, a 45-time Public Records Act requestor of Department of Licensing emails and attachments. The Court held that some of Mr. Nervik's claims were time-barred by the PRA's one-year statute of limitations and that several of his other claims were not properly preserved for appeal. However, the bulk of the opinion is devoted to Mr. Nervik's purported request for email metadata.
Metadata associated with a public record is subject to disclosure under the PRA. But, a government agency is not required to provide metadata unless the metadata is specifically requested. Requesting emails or records in electronic format does not automatically lead to a request for metadata. Moreover, agencies have discretion in formatting records and need not provide records in electronic format. Here, Mr. Nervik requested that emails "should be in Outlook .pst format only together with all attachments…." Although .pst files presumably contain metadata, the Court held that this "mere format request" was not a specific request for metadata. In other words, requesting records in a format that contains metadata is not a request for that metadata. The Court ruled that the Department properly produced some records in hard copy for redaction and others in electronic format without metadata. Therefore, the Department was entitled to summary judgment on Mr. Nervik's claim that it failed to disclose public records by not providing metadata.

David Price, the No.1 pick in this summer's Major League Baseball Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays, was the featured speaker at this month's Forehand and Friends Lunch.
Price, a standout for the Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team, was interviewed by Jonathan Seamon, the voice of Bisons baseball who made the swtich to baseball for a day.
Price talked about his experiences in making the transition from college player to professional player.
He also reminded the Bisons fans that his first collegiate victory as a pitcher was against Lipscomb.
The lunches are held monthly. Previous speakers this year have been Lipscomb Hall of Fame member Steve Liddle, the bench coach for the Minnesota Twins; and pitcher R.A. Dickey, a Winter Meetings draft pick by the Seattle Mariners.

Bud Selig was in the middle of a question-and-answer session last week, talking about the Dodgers, when he looked up at the television in his office.
The San Francisco Giants had just beaten the Cincinnati Reds in the National League division series, and the party was well underway in the San Francisco clubhouse.
As cameras captured the Giants' wild celebration, Selig frowned.
"This is something I am not happy about: spraying champagne all over," he said. "I'm not a fan of that."
Would he like to put a stop to it?
"I don't know that we can," he said.
You're the commissioner, he was reminded. Of course you could.
"We could," he said. "I understand that. It is something I have talked to the clubs about and will continue to talk to the clubs about. You want to have great celebrations, fine. But spraying each other with champagne is not that."

text: Hi all- I've been working as a paralegal at a large law firm in NY for about a year, and I want to ask one of my attorneys for a LOR. But I can't decide on who to ask: a 5th year associate who I've worked with on a daily basis and likes my work but who is known for writing harsh reviews, a 2nd year who I also work with on a daily basis who I know would write a 100% positive letter, or a Counsel who I don't have as much face time with but who I think would write a generally positive letter? Does anyone know if the seniority of the attorney writing the LOR matters AT ALL to admissions people?Thanks!!

I am so psyched! I just ordered 6 tickets for teh Sehawks Bills game in Toronto. Living in Western NY and being a lifelong (of the team) fan of the Seahawks, I get few opportunities to see the team play in person. Even better the Bills are running insane deals for this game and I was able to get club level seats on the 40 yards line (Hawks Sideline of course) for 1/2 price of a regular game at the Ralph!!!
I am the only true Hawks fan in my group but a condition of the group is that we will all be decked out head to toe in jerseys hats you name it!
As PC likes to say "I'm in"
Go Hawks

The world's fastest computer, Blue Gene/L has just doubled in size, according to researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.
Livermore has been running a 32,000 processor system since December, but three weeks ago trucks began delivering the components that allowed Livermore to add another 32,000 processors worth of power to the supercomputer, effectively doubling its processing power.
Though there are still some adjustments being made, the system is now operational, said Robin Goldstone, group leader with the Production Linux Group at Lawrence Livermore. "It's mostly functional. They've actually run calculations on the 32,000 nodes," she said Wednesday. "They're shaking out the last few bad nodes."
Blue Gene/L is made up of approximately 32,000 two-processor nodes, giving it about 64,000 processors in total, Goldstone said.
A 33,000 processor prototype of Blue Gene/L, assembled by IBM last November was ranked the fastest computer on the planet on the Top 500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers. IBM's prototype was benchmarked at 70.72 trillion calculations per second, or teraflops, using the Linpack benchmark, which puts the system through a series of mathematical calculations.
Lawrence Livermore's new system is expected to be capable of approximately twice that, making it nearly three times as powerful as the next system on the list, NASA's 10,240-processor "Columbia" supercomputer. Columbia has been benchmarked at 51.87 teraflops. Goldstone declined to comment on the Livermore system's benchmark performance.
The 32,000 node Blue Gene/L represents the second stage of a three-part build-out of the $100 million supercomputer that is expected to be completed by June. When fully assembled, it will have a theoretical peak performance of 360 teraflops.
Perhaps the most remarkable characteristic of Blue Gene/L is how compact it is. When the complete system is assembled into a total of 64 server racks this June, it will be a about half the size of a tennis court, much smaller than most of today's supercomputers.
And it will consume less power The final system is expected to draw approximately 1.6 megawatts of power. To put this in perspective, another supercomputer that Lawrence Livermore will be bringing online this June, the 100 teraflop ASCI Purple system, is expected to require 4.8 megawatts.
The difference is that ASCI Purple will be made out of general purpose servers, similar to IBM's eServer p655, whereas BlueGene/L's compute nodes contain little more than memory and processors. "We've kind of reached the limit with these commodity clusters," said Goldstone. "They just generate too much heat and too much power."
IBM is now in the process of commercializing Blue Gene and is selling a 5.7 teraflops single-rack version of the system, called the eServer Blue Gene Solution, to high performance computing customers. The company has also agreed to deliver Blue Gene systems to a number of research institutions including the San Diego Supercomputer Center and the University of Edinburgh.
This month, Big Blue plans to operate a 100 teraflops Blue Gene system at its Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York. This system, which IBM claims will be the world's largest privately-owned supercomputer, will be used, in part, for life sciences research.

ITHACA, NY—Ithaca College will recognize Constitution Day 2013 with a presentation led by longtime feminist activist Zillah Eisenstein on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 7:30 p.m. in Emerson Suites, Phillips Hall. Titled "Reproductive Justice: Celebrating and Defending 'Roe' at 40," the event is free and open to the public.
An activist since the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade abortion decision in 1973, Eisenstein is a professor emerita of politics and Distinguished Scholar of Anti-Racist Feminist Political Theory at Ithaca College.
"Girls and women's rights to their bodies — to choose, and decide, and control what happens to them -- is at the core of our ethical and reproductive lives," says Eisenstein. "As the new 'wars' to control the access and legality of abortion and conception continue, it is more important than ever that reproductive justice remains at the center stage of struggles for democracy."
Eisenstein's daughter, Dr. Sarah Eisenstein Stumbar, will join the presentation via video to discuss the current challenges that doctors face trying to protect the reproductive rights of female patients.
Eisenstein is the author of nearly a dozen books, including "The Female Body and the Law," which was awarded the Victoria Schuck Book Prize from the American Political Science Association in 1988 as the year's best book on women and politics. Among other honors, she has been presented with the Eminent Scholar Award from the International Studies Association.
Stumbar is currently a resident physician in the Department of Social and Family Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.
Constitution Day is an annual observance that commemorates the September 17, 1787, signing of the United States Constitution. On or around that day, all educational institutions receiving federal funding are required to hold an educational program pertaining to the U.S. Constitution.
The Ithaca College Constitution Day event is co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Educational Affairs, the Department of Politics, the women's studies program and the Park Center for Independent Media.
For additional information, contact Beth Harris, associate professor of politics, at email@example.com or (607) 274-3517.

U.S. Travelers Singing the Post-Vacation Blues, Reveals TripAdvisor Survey
Once Back to the Grind, Seventy-Three Percent Lift their Spirits by Planning the Next Getaway
Sep 14, 2011, 06:00 ET
NEWTON, Mass., Sept. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TripAdvisor®, the world's largest travel site*, today announced the results of its post-vacation blues survey of more than 1,400 U.S. respondents who took leisure trips this summer, revealing that 34 percent often struggle with feelings of melancholy following their return from vacation, while 20 percent always do.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080902/TRIPADVISORLOGO )
As autumn temperatures begin to drop, stress levels rise for many recently-returned travelers; 84 percent say their stress-o-meter readings return to pre-vacation highs soon after returning home. Forty-three percent feel the strain within the first week back, and 19 percent within the very first day. In addition, 41 percent said they find it depressing that Labor Day represents the end of summer.
Travelers' Top Five Post-Vacation Blues-Busting Measures
- Begin planning the next trip - 73%
- Regularly view pictures or videos of the trip - 52%
- Create a photo album of the trip - 41%
- Take weekend breaks to bridge the gap until the next vacation - 18%
- Cook the local cuisine enjoyed on the trip - 16%
Mid-Vacation Vexations
- On a typical one-week vacation, 64 percent start to feel anxious about the end of their trip before it's over.
- Day five of a one-week trip is the most anxiety-inducing, with 17 percent feeling apprehensive about returning home following just four days of rest and relaxation.
- A further four percent confess that the worry of homecoming looms large from day one of the trip.
Work Woes Weigh Heavy
- Travelers cite the return to work as the most challenging aspect of returning from a vacation (34 percent).
- Within the first month of being back to the grind, 12 percent confess they have falsely phoned in sick.
- Eight percent consider finding a new job, while four percent are regularly late for work, in the first month back from vacation.
"While many Americans struggle to maintain the feel-good factor upon returning to work and a daily routine after a terrific summer vacation, the process of planning another getaway helps 73 percent of travelers remain upbeat," said Karen Drake, senior director of communications for TripAdvisor.

MINNEAPOLIS >> For every time Kevin Love threw down an open dunk, fired an outlet pass or launched a three-pointer, the same themes kept emerging in what has defined the Lakers' failed season.
They offered no paint resistance. The Lakers trudged back on defense at half speed, perhaps even slower. They threw their hands up in resignation.
The Lakers' 143-107 loss Friday to the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center played out like a monotonous loop that coach Mike D'Antoni called "demoralizing" and Nick Young called "embarrassing." The Lakers (24-47) showcased their worst defensive effort since, well, conceding 142 points to the Clippers two weeks ago.
Here's something more unsettling: Love hardly provided a ringing endorsement on the Lakers' chances in signing him should he opt out of his contract to become a free agent in the 2015 offseason.
"I don't really care about that right now," Love said. "I just go out there and play and don't think about it."
Love's 22 points on 6-of-10 shooting, 10 rebounds and 10 assists epitomized everything that left D'Antoni gushing about his outside shooting, outlet passes and effort on the glass.
"Everyone would want someone like that," D'Antoni said in general terms about Love. "When you're talking about one of the best players in the league, that makes sense."
But which approach will the Lakers take in securing Love?
With LeBron James unlikely to leave the Miami Heat this offseason and the Lakers hardly enthralled with Carmelo Anthony should he opt out of his contract with the New York Knicks, do the Lakers revamp their roster this summer with only a few mild tweaks on minimum deals to save up for the Love sweepstakes?
Do the Lakers operate more aggressively and use their first round pick as a centerpiece in a deal to secure Love this summer? Such an approach matches Kobe Bryant's recent plea that the Lakers' front office aggressively rebuilds this summer, mindful that he has a two-year, $48.5 million extension that carries him through the 2015-16 season.
"This game is hard to watch," Bryant tweeted back in Los Angeles while nursing a season-ending right injury.
The Timberwolves (35-35) handed the Lakers a double-digit loss last month in which fans at Target Center pleaded, "Don't leave Kevin!" On Friday, no one within earshot of press row yelled such things to Love, perhaps because of his recent comments to GQ Magazine.
"People think it's so far-fetched that I would stay in Minnesota," Love told GQ. "I'm not [ripping] on the Lakers, but we have the better team, the better foundation. I'm having fun."
Minnesota will likely miss the playoffs for the 10th consecutive year, but it offered a clinic against the Lakers. The Timberwolves won three games against the Lakers for the first time since the 2005-06 season.
Nikola Pekovic (26 points), Kevin Martin (17 points), Gorgui Dieng (12 points), Corey Brewer (11 points), Chase Budinger (11 points) and Ricky Rubio (10 points) provided Love with a dependable supporting cast.
Love admitted "it's a little weird" seeing the Lakers en route to miss the postseason for only the fifth time in franchise history. But incidentally, Love's father, Stan, played for the 1974-75 Lakers, which finished with a franchise worst 30-52 record.
"It would be like the Spurs coming out and having a bad year," Love said. "Stuff like that doesn't happen."
For now, the Lakers can only hope Love will eventually help end their misery.

Cardinal Cahal Daly, the former primate of all Ireland and an outspoken critic of paramilitary violence and poverty in Northern Ireland, was a man "ahead of his time," his successor told mourners.
"As early as 1973 he was working with other Christian leaders in the search for peace," Cardinal Sean Brady of Armagh told mourners at the Jan. 5 funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral. "A report which they prepared at that time set out principles for a nonviolent way forward for the divided communities of Northern Ireland. Today its language bears a remarkable similarity to that of political agreements we have now."
Cardinal Brady said his predecessor remained adamant that "justice, mutual respect and purely peaceful means were the only way forward. It was a source of considerable satisfaction for him later to see politicians take courageous risks for peace. As he would often pray from the psalms, 'Mercy and faithfulness have met, justice and peace have embraced.'
"Our task today is to continue along the path of mercy and to tackle all remnants of sectarianism in our midst," he said.
Cardinal Daly, 92, died Dec. 31.
In a telegram released Jan. 2, Pope Benedict XVI recalled the cardinal's "long years of devoted pastoral service to the church" and expressed gratitude for his "sustained efforts in the promotion of justice and peace in Northern Ireland."
Cardinal Daly was best remembered for his contribution to ecumenical relations at a time when sectarian violence increased in Northern Ireland. As the former bishop of Down and Connor—the Northern Ireland diocese that includes the province's main city of Belfast—he witnessed firsthand the bloodshed waged by the Irish Republican Army.
At his installation as archbishop of Armagh and primate of Ireland in 1990, he called on the IRA to end its strategy of terror and urged a government-sponsored "new deal" to aid economically depressed Catholic neighborhoods in West Belfast. He believed an effective redevelopment plan for West Belfast would "do more for ending the violence than any security policy." The cardinal also was involved in ecumenical work and urged Irish Catholics and Protestants to "help one another to stay faithful to Christ in a world where more and more people walk away from him."
A firm supporter of the Northern Ireland peace process, the cardinal rejected the idea that the province's problems could be solved by forming an independent state. In 1992, when Cardinal Daly turned 75 and offered his resignation to Pope John Paul II, the offer was refused, which left the cardinal to lead the Irish church through one of its most difficult periods in modern history as a series of child abuse cases involving clerics came to light.
Saying the scandals caused him much personal pain, he repeatedly apologized for the harm caused by church members and took the unprecedented step of appearing on a live television talk show to make his apology more widely known. He also played a major role in drawing up new procedures for how the church should respond to the problem in a policy document, "The Framework for a Church Response to Child Abuse," published in 1996.
Cardinal Brady told those at Cardinal Daly's funeral that rebuilding trust within Ireland's Catholic Church "will entail making sure that children are safe at every moment and in every church setting. It will require complete commitment to the path initiated by Cardinal Daly, of working with the civil authorities and whole parish communities to ensure best practice, cooperation and accountability in safeguarding children in all church activities."
Cardinal Daly also rallied for more effective action in protecting the environment and called for a real change of lifestyle to protect the planet. He wrote a book, "The Minding of Planet Earth," in 2004 and said that given the scale of looming ecological crisis, much of what had been done up to that point was mere tokenism.
A native of Northern Ireland, Cardinal Daly was born in 1917 in County Antrim's largely Catholic town of Loughguile, where relations with the Protestant minority had been described as always good.
He was educated at St. Malachy's College in Belfast and earned a master's degree from Queen's University Belfast. He then went to the national seminary, St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, where he was ordained in 1941 for the Diocese of Down and Connor.
After earning a doctorate in divinity from Maynooth in 1945, he spent the next 21 years as a lecturer in scholastic philosophy at Queen's University. He attended the Second Vatican Council as a theological adviser to members of the Irish hierarchy and was named bishop of Ardagh and Clonmacnois in 1967. He served there until his appointment to Down and Connor in 1982.
In 1990 he was named archbishop of Armagh, which made him the spiritual leader of all the Catholics of the island of Ireland—both those of British Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. He was made a cardinal in 1991 and retired as the primate of all Ireland on his 79th birthday in 1996.

The Sangamo Conference, considered the Springfield area�s premier small-school athletic league, is looking to the Decatur area to boost its membership.
Mason City Illini Central High School principal Ed Jodlowski, current president of the conference, said in an email Tuesday afternoon that the league�s board of directors had unanimously agreed Monday to invite Maroa-Forsyth to the Sangamo for all sports effective in the 2016-17 school year.
�The formal invitation was submitted to Maroa-Forsyth (Tuesday) afternoon,� Jodlowski said in the email.
�Out of respect for Maroa-Forsyth�s Board of Education and administration, the Sangamo Conference Board of Directors (made up of principals and athletic directors) would ask that you respect the process and give Maroa-Forsyth time to communicate with their current conference as they consider this invitation.�
Maroa-Forsyth, a school of 317 students in northern Macon County, is a member of the Decatur-area Okaw Valley Conference. But what�s currently a 12-team OVC will shrink to just six schools next school year, when the new-look conference will include Maroa, Champaign St. Thomas More, St. Joseph-Ogden, Tolono Unity, Monticello and Rantoul.
The Sangamo will lose two football-playing members, Pawnee and Niantic Sangamon Valley, after this year. Pittsfield is joining the Sangamo for football only next fall, but that leaves the league with only nine football teams.
That number is problematic for scheduling purposes, although the River Valley co-op program, hosted by Varna Midland north of Peoria, has agreed to serve as a non-conference opponent for all nine Sangamo teams this fall.
Illini Central is the Sangamo�s only non-football member.
Contacted earlier Tuesday before Jodlowski released the statement about inviting his school, Maroa-Forsyth principal Scott Adreon said his school would have many questions before considering changing conferences.
�If we do receive an invitation (from the Sangamo), our Board of Education would want to know the details of it, of course,� Adreon said. �And they�d want to get feedback from our coaches.
�To be honest, I�m not sure of the (Sangamo�s) structure. We�d want to know what it would look like.�
Maroa�s next scheduled school board meeting is June 9.
Maroa expressed interest in joining the Sangamo two years ago, when the Okaw Valley Conference began to undergo changes. Nokomis eventually was selected for the Sangamo, but Nokomis reconsidered and stayed in the Prairie State Conference.
Maroa has been a football power in recent years, winning the Class 2A state title in 2006 and the 1A championship in 2012. The Trojans also were 2A state runners-up in 2009 and 2010. Maroa also won the Class A boys state basketball title in 2007 with some of the same athletes who won the football championship the previous fall.
Maroa is Class 2A for four-class team sports for the current school year.

Mossberg: Kindle Fire HDX, Helpful but Not Versatile
The most unusual feature of the Kindle Fire HDX is its Mayday button, but a better help system isn't exactly the prime reason to buy a new tablet, says Walt Mossberg. Photo: AP.

Game Developer Connects With Pirates, Sees Massive Support & Deletion Of Torrents
from the how-it's-done dept
That's why it's so important to offer up every example available that shows how mistaken this methodology is. With that in mind, witness how the developers of an indie RPG called Anodyne embraced the uploader of their game and used the exposure to propel themselves into the internet limelight. It all started, as these stories so often do, when a Pirate Bay user offered up a torrent for the game. Instead of losing their minds, the game's developers decided to be the second commenter on the torrent's page, reaching out to anyone interested in downloading the game and instead offering a better way to do so. The text of that comment follows:
Hi, I'm Sean! I'm one of the two guys who made Anodyne. It's neat that Anodyne's ehre and I'm glad that means more people can play it, though of course we'd love it if you bought the game! We're tryin' to get Greenlit on Steam so we'd really appreciate it if you and your friends gave us an upvote over at http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92921739.Then they decided to go over the top in generosity by offering up free download codes for Anodyne and pointing readers to Desura.com to redeem them. They saw their game out there for free, reacted awesomely, and offered up their own way to download it for free. This response hits every major way I would have advised them to react to the torrent. They left all threats in their pockets, embraced those wanting to play the game (even for free), used it as a promotional tool as well as a way to crowdsource market and product data, and even threw in a bit of humor to boot. I don't know that I could have crafted the response better myself.
Most importantly let us know what you think of the game and if you like it or if it fills you with burning rage! - we're on Twitter at @seagaia2 and @jonathankittaka.
The response to their actions has been as swift as it has been universally positive. A Reddit discussion broke out almost immediately and Sean Hogan, the developer above, immediately jumped in to prove that his forward-thinking Pirate Bay comment wasn't some one-off bit of clarity.
"Yeah, piracy is inevitable so it's better to embrace it – plus, it gives lots of people who couldn't normally afford the game the opportunity to play it – and I think when you're a small group of developers (only my friend Jon and I made Anodyne), it's better to have lots of people able to experience your game," he wrote.The publicity is of course a wonderful thing. Anodyne can only benefit from the positive reaction this story is creating, potentially leading to placement within Steam. But the story doesn't stop there. Because if you go searching for that original Anodyne listing on the Pirate Bay, you'll find it doesn't exist any longer. The site is notorious for refusing to remove such links, so the overwhelming likelihood is that it was taken down by the uploader. If so, this case no longer only serves as evidence that treating pirates well can be lucrative, but also that treating them well can cause them to second guess their decision to offer the content in the first place. Which, of course, throws the entire mantra that pirates are evil kids who just want everything for free into a logical tailspin. In any case, this is a textbook example of how to react to piracy.

Reynolds expanding e-cigarette nationally
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Reynolds American Inc. plans to begin national distribution of its Vuse brand electronic cigarette next week.
The owner of nation's second-biggest tobacco company said Tuesday that retail outlets in all 50 states will be carrying Vuse beginning June 23. More stores will be added throughout the rest of the year.
The Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based company launched Vuse in Colorado last summer as part of an industry-wide push to diversify beyond the traditional cigarette business. It expanded into Utah earlier this year. Reynolds says Vuse quickly became the top-selling brand in both states with high levels of repeat purchase.
The company says its rechargeable e-cigarette assembled in the U.S. has technology that monitors and adjusts heat and power to deliver the "perfect puff."

College of Health Sciences and Technology
Educating the next generation of health care providers is a formidable task, given the enormous potential for technology to aid the health care industry. The College of Health Sciences and Technology is up to the challenge, providing you with the skills you will need to manage and lead in the important and growing convergence of medicine and technology.
The College of Health Sciences and Technology responds to the growing need for well-educated professionals in the health care field. Programs center on patient care, innovation in the advancement of clinical practices, and cutting-edge research that will guide the changing health care delivery system.
Interdisciplinary approach to learning
Through its majors, the college provides a focused, interdisciplinary approach to health care education. Clinically related and research-based programs meet both the present and future needs of the health care system.
Innovative partnership
Through the RIT-RRHS Alliance—the university's partnership with the Rochester Regional Health System—students gain advanced knowledge in the theoretical science and practical application of experiential learning environments. These experiences prepare students to serve as practitioners, scientists, and leaders through their contribution to, and provision of, high-quality patient care, health care service, and/or applied biomedical research.
The College of Health Sciences and Technology is part of the larger Institute of Health Sciences and Technology. In addition to the college, the institute includes the Health Sciences Research Center and the Health Sciences Outreach Center. These three entities serve to educate future health care professionals, meet workforce and community needs, and apply innovative technologies in health care delivery. The research center's focus—on infectious disease and immunology, cancer, cancer vaccines and blood disorders, cardiovascular disease, health systems engineering, biotechnology, bioengineering, imaging science, computing and information science, deaf technologies, and medical devices—means students can complete internships, co-ops, and research opportunities in a health care setting where they will gain valuable hands-on experience. The outreach center will partner with regional workforce development agencies to develop and support community health initiatives.
Dynamic programs
All of the college's majors build on a foundation of liberal arts and basic sciences, producing students who are well rounded and ready to take on the challenges of the health care industry.
The biomedical sciences major is designed to prepare students for advanced study in medical, dental, or graduate schools as they pursue careers in health care or biomedical research. A diverse curriculum and applied research opportunities prepare students for the demands of graduate study. Courses and concentration options within biomedical sciences are designed to attract students interested in the broad spectrum of medically related jobs and to provide a knowledge base and the technical skills required to pursue their chosen careers.
The diagnostic medical sonography (ultrasound) major has graduated leaders in the field since its inception. The curriculum combines a strong science education, practical experience, and liberal arts education to prepare you for a career in ultrasound. The program emphasizes skills in administration and research in addition to development of scanning and diagnostic abilities, with a focus on relevancy to clinical practice.
Registered dietitians learn to understand people as individuals, thereby helping their clients solve their nutritional needs. The Dietetics and Nutrition major offers a challenging curriculum that prepares students to become registered dietitians and practice in diverse settings such as private practice; community nutrition and public health; wellness; sports fitness programs; corporations; clinical dietetics, hospital or long-term-care food management facilities; research; food companies; nutrition education; andrestaurant consulting.
The Nutritional Sciences program prepares students to apply to professional programs, such as medical school, enter graduate school for further biomedical studies, or provide nutrition expertise to the general public in a range of diverse settings.
The physician assistant major is a five-year combined BS/MS program. The first two years are considered the "pre-professional" phase; the remaining three years are the "professional" phase and include 12 months of clinical rotation (internship) in the final year. Rotations expose students to distinct areas of medical practice such as family medicine, pediatrics, surgery, obstetrics, emergency medicine, geriatrics, psychiatry, and more.
The Health Sciences and Technology Viewbook provides an overview of health sciences and technology related programs at RIT.

Vueling: "Barcelona will become the most important European hub in 2014"
Barcelona-based budget carrier Vueling in the coming weeks will unveil its first business-class cabin as part of a strategic effort that also includes a sizable network and fleet expansion next year, as well as a new fare structure.
Few details on the fleet expansion, new cabin or fare changes are currently being disclosed, with Vueling instead focused on promoting the addition of 28 new routes next year at its Barcelona El Prat Airport hub. This network expansion includes increased frequencies, as well as new services to Belgium, Eastern Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean, France, Greece, Italy, Russia and Sweden.
New services also are planned from March 2013 to Northern and Central Africa, as well as London Gatwick, CEO Alex Cruz said during a webcast press conference. Domestic services also will be added early next year, he said.
Five of the routes—Dresden, Germany; Fez, Morocco; Rennes, France; Rhodes and Kos, Greece—are new to El Prat.
This growth will increase Vueling's El Prat network to 100 destinations and will help the carrier meet its goal of connecting 2 million passengers a year through its home airport. "Barcelona will become the most important European hub in 2014," Cruz added, noting that in the past two years Vueling has added 45 new destinations at El Prat to make the airport second to Frankfurt for short- and medium-haul services across Europe.
More routes also are planned for Vueling's non-hub airports, with new destinations and frequencies on offer for Alicante, Bilbao, Malaga and the Balearic and Canary Islands networks. Vueling's continued expansion, indeed the carrier's new strategy, is focused on business travelers, who the airline says will account for 50% of its traffic by the end of 2013.
The new fare structure, which Cruz says will include new fees, will be "well suited to the business customer." A new marketing campaign will support this push, although Vueling offered little information apart from a new slogan.
This lack of detail to the fare structure and marketing campaign extends to the fleet expansion, with Vueling saying only that its El Prat-based fleet will grow to 43 aircraft from 34 and that 500 more staff will be needed. During the press conference, Cruz noted that the aircraft will come "straight from the factory" with the new cabin layout, and that a few Wi-Fi-enabled aircraft will be operated by the end of the year, but he offered no specifics on aircraft type, delivery schedule or ownership of this additional fleet.
Vueling currently operates about 60 Airbus narrowbodies—mostly A320s—with a single cabin configuration. Other than the announcement of a new business class, which will be branded "Excellence," Vueling's senior management is providing no details, although Cruz did say an announcement will be forthcoming "in a few weeks."
The airline's commitment to growth is in contrast to many of its European rivals, although the airline is still significantly smaller than many of Europe's budget and legacy operations. But the carrier, which was launched in 2004, has been profitable for four consecutive years, and, according to Chairman Josep Pique, it expects to return more positive earnings at the end of 2012.

If you are trying to break into your Windows Vista computer when you forgot or lost its password, you actually have several options. To crack Windows Vista password, the ways we use today are not like those used in the past-system reinstallation with installation disc, send the computer machine to the PC repair center. Well, nowadays we do take some far easier and more efficient ways to solve the problem. Below are some ways, and you can choose the one suits you best.
Way1: Hack Vista admin password with built-in Administrator.
You may be surprised to hear how people could bypass a forgotten Vista password in such way. Here I promise you this way really works. This is because in all Windows operating systems, there is an Administrator account embedded with non-password protected and hidden from Windows Login Screen and Control Panel by default. After unhide this account, you then can use this to change your lost Vista password. Follow the below steps to hide this account:

'Saved By The Bell' Meets Horror Film in Miles Fisher's Campy Promo for 'Final Destination 5′ [VIDEO]
Two years ago, Miles Fisher impressed the internet with his surprisingly great cover of the Talking Heads' 'This Must Be the Place' and its cool music video, a sleek send-up of yuppie-slasher movie 'American Psycho.' The success of the video helped the singer-actor nab a starring role in 'Final Destination 5′ and to promote the flick, which hits theaters on August 12, Fisher and his FD5 castmates have made a high-concept, genre-bending music video.
This one mashes up the classic Saturday morning sitcom 'Saved By The Bell' with kitschy horror film trappings, like death by record decapitation.
The super-fake gore is slightly NSFW and makes Jessie Spano's memorable caffeine pill overdose look tame by comparison. Check it out below:

Kohl Stewart's Twitter page, which describes him as a "future student-athlete," likely will require a quick revision with his selection Thursday night by the Minnesota Twins with the fourth pick in the MLB draft.
Stewart, the righthanded pitcher and quarterback from St. Pius X who was a football-baseball blue-chip recruit for the Aggies, declined to say definitively Thursday night that he will opt for the pros over college, but his father, Mark Stewart, said the decision has been made.
"He's going to go (with the Twins)," Mark Stewart said. "You don't get drafted fourth and not go. It's a once-in-a-lifetime offer. He looked at me when they made the call and said, 'Dad, I'm going to accept the (Twins') offer.' He's made the decision, and he will talk to (A&M coach Kevin Sumlin)."
Kohl Stewart hinted as much in a conference call with reporters, describing his eagerness to focus on baseball after splitting time between two sports for so many years. But he didn't make the final call, although he tweeted late Thursday night, "So much love from the Twins fans can't wait to meet you guys."
"The Twins, they picked me, and they expect me to sign," he said. "I'm not going to say 100 percent for sure, but I'm looking forward to joining the Twins organization. … I don't want to say anything or pull anybody the wrong way, but I look forward to being a Twin.
"There's extreme loyalty within the organization, and they're committed to winning, and they're looking for ways for the organization to reach a World Series, and I'm committed to being a part of that organization and working my way up and grinding it out until my name is called. And hopefully, I can one day help the Twins become one of the winningest franchises in the league."
'Things just went crazy'
Stewart was joined by about 125 friends and family members at the family home in Tomball, but the festivities turned into a multimedia scramble when rain and hail swept through the area as the draft was unfolding on MLB Network.
"The satellite dishes went out, and we couldn't watch it on TV. We had to pull it up on our phones, and when they called (my name), the house went crazy," Stewart said.
"It's an unbelievable feeling. You work so hard for so long, and when something like this happens, it's one of those really relieving feelings of a lot of excitement, and you really can't describe it."
The heavy rain apparently resulted in the phenomenon known as "whiteout," a familiar situation for satellite customers in the Houston area. Mark Stewart said the TV screens froze and "things just went crazy" as the storm blew through and Stewart's friends and family scrambled for mobile phones to keep up with the draft.
The top three players in the draft pool — pitchers Mark Appel of Stanford and Jonathan Gray of Oklahoma and third baseman Kris Bryant of the University of San Diego — were fairly well set, so Stewart said he knew the Twins probably would be the first team in line to select him.
"I definitely thought that the Twins were the best bet for me," he said. "I definitely believed this is where I was headed, and I'm extremely excited about it and extremely blessed to have this opportunity to be a part of their organization and help them win."
Stewart comes from a large family — he's one of seven children, and his parents, Mark and Lisa Stewart, have five and four siblings, respectively — so Mark Stewart said the house was filled with family members, high school teammates and teammates from the Banditos Baseball program.
Growing arsenal
Stewart throws a fastball, slider, curve and changeup and said he's working on a sinker. Even though he's split time between baseball and football all his life, he said he's "comfortable throwing any pitch on any count."
"Football has taken rank over baseball, especially in high school, because of football being so demanding and it's such a big deal down here in Texas, but I look forward to being able to sit down and working on baseball for once. I've never been able to do that.
"I didn't start pitching at this level until high school, and then football took away from that. I'm definitely looking forward to being able to focus on one thing for a long time. I can't wait to see how the Twins can help me and how much I can grow."
Spurning the Aggies
Stewart's decision means he will not be accepting a scholarship to play football and baseball at A&M, where he would be a potential understudy to Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.
Manziel offered congratulations via Twitter, tweeting: "Congrats to my dude @KohlStewart1 for getting drafted 4th overall in the MLB draft that's big time!!"
Stewart has played for the Banditos Baseball select team since age 7 and was part of an under-13 team that won 155 consecutive games. He was named this month as Gatorade's Texas high school player of the year for his 5-1 record, 0.18 ERA and 10 homers for St. Pius.
In football, he won the Touchdown Club of Houston's private school player of the year award and in three years as a starter threw for 8,803 yards and 87 touchdowns at St. Pius.

There comes a time for everybody when they find themselves short of cash. Perhaps you need money for a mini holiday and you fell short. Maybe you had a vehicle breakdown and you will need the money for emergency repairs. Whether it's for an emergency or just plain fun, online payday loans may be the ticket, even if you have poor credit.
Payday loans generally are usually fairly easy to obtain. Until recently the basic method was to visit a payday loan "shop", a place set up to do payday or what is known as "fast money" loans, and complete an application. The way the basic payday loan works is that for a given amount the borrower would write a post dated check. For instance, if you borrow $100, you'd write the payday advance store a check for $100 that would be cashed or put through the banking system on the following payday, thus the name payday advance. It doesn't matter if you have bad credit, that isn't the best payday loans point. You are providing them with a post dated check so that your credit is not an issue. These loans started about the mid 1990's and have blossomed into a thriving industry. There are now a lot of these stores. Recently, however, payday advance stores have taken it one step farther to the internet.
Getting a payday loan online is much the same as getting one in person with two major changes. You may apply online. This means that you would look for an online payday advance website, click on the application and fill it out right there in the solitude of your own personal computer. The second key change is the one which makes online payday loans so suitable, these sites utilize something called "direct deposit". Online payday loan sites determine at the time of application if you have direct deposit and then based on that issue you a loan. Again, bad credit isn't an issue because they will be taking it directly out of your account on payday. When you apply for an online payday loan the lenders put the money they are loaning you directly into the bank and then they take it back out of the same bank account at the time you have agreed to. Online payday loans are fast and convenient as well as available to anyone with a bank account, direct deposit and a computer

Although the league secretary keeps track of the standings and average, it's important for you to know how to keep score when you bowl. Most bowling centers have automatic scoring, but you need to understand how scores add up to realize the importance of your pin count in certain situations. Score is based on a possible two balls per frame. A complete game is 10 frames. The first score is recorded in the upper frame. Use a number to reflect the number of pins knocked down; use a symbol to reflect a strike or spare. A strike (usually indicated by an X) is knocking down all 10 pins in one shot; a spare (usually indicated by a slash) is knocking down all 10 pins in two shots. The score is then added from frame to frame and recorded on the bottom of the frame. Figure 11.2 shows a sample score sheet. Each frame is figured separately and added to the next frame to keep the score. The values for strikes and spares depend on the pin count on subsequent shots. Once you know how to keep score, you can appreciate how much a strike or spare can be worth depending on how many pins are knocked down on the next shots. To determine the score for the frame, add the number of pins knocked down for that frame. Strikes are worth 10, plus the total pinfall for the next two shots; spares are worth 10, plus the total pins on the next shot. So, if in the first frame you have 8 and then knock down the remaining 2 pins to spare, that gives you at least 10 for that frame, plus the amount knocked down on the next shot. If you get 7 on your first shot of the next frame, you will add 7 to the spare in the previous frame to score a total of 17 in the first frame. If you get 2 on the next shot, you will receive a total of 9 for the second frame, and add it to the score in the first frame, to have a score of 26 in the second frame. A strike on the next shot will be worth at least 10 in the third frame, depending on the total number of pins knocked down on the next two shots. If in the fourth frame you get 9 and spare, you will add a total of 10 more to the initial value of 10 for the strike, to get a total of 20 in the third frame. Added to the previous frame, that gives you a score of 46 in the third frame. The amount of the fourth frame will depend on the pinfall of the next shot. If in the fifth frame you get 6 and only pick up 3 more, you will add 6 to the spare in the fourth frame, for a total of 16, then add it to the previous total in the third frame. That gives you 62 in the fourth, and for the fifth frame add the total of 9 pins to the fourth frame total, for a score of 71 in the fifth. During open bowling at the bowling center, practice keeping score. Most bowling centers will have paper score sheets at the control counter. These are either what they used before they installed automatic scoring or what they use when the technology fails. In either case, this old-fashioned method of tracking scores will enable you to compare your scoring to that of the automatic scorer. Compare your sheet to the automatic computer and detect any errors you may have made in your addition. If your score is different from the automatic score, it may be the number of pins that you recorded for that frame. In that case, it was not your addition from frame to frame, but your recollection of how many pins you actually knocked down on that shot. It is between you and the automatic scorer to determine who was correct! Once you finish bowling, calculate your average score for the session by adding up your total game score (add the total scores for all the games you bowled), then divide that total by the number of games you bowled. Sometimes, you can access this information on the automatic scoring computer. If you came to open bowling to practice, you may have been busy working on your skills rather than trying to knock down pins. It is good to bowl to improve your skills without paying much attention to pinfall. Nevertheless, you still can do this average calculation just to learn how to determine your average. The scorer will work, regardless of your practice routine. If you are working on improving your skills and disregarding the pins, remember that this average calculation is just for practice. The average score you get may be significantly less than you are used to getting because you were not trying to knock down the pins. This is an excerpt from Bowling Fundamentals.

"I think it's a fallacy that it hasn't. Everyone quotes World of Warcraft as being the obvious one, but there's a massively thriving community of hardcore gamers on the PC still. The way they get their games is different where it's nearly all online delivery, so you've got the likes of Paradox, who do a variety of niche content but it's all massively hardcore and serves that audience. You've got the World of Tanks guys who have something like a million concurrent users or something stupid like that. That is not a platform that is in trouble. It's just different, it's changed," says Epic's Mike Gamble. "It happens every so often, we've been having the same talks since Windows 95. It goes up and down, the consoles are here and the PC is in the trough, then the PCs are here and consoles are down there. That's how the performance works, just the fact that deliver has changed on PC, that it's not trackable as it once was, it's not the retail, it doesn't mean it's gone."

DOJ Puts Another Leaker In Jail: The War On Whistleblowers Rolls On
from the no-leaks-allowed dept
While this does seem like a case of more of a general "leak" rather than direct whistleblowing, it clearly fits in with the President's war on whistleblowers, whose architect loves to send people to jail to make an example of them.
It's still difficult to see how this justified spying on so many AP phone lines. While some keep insisting that the leak was really dangerous, as has been previously noted, now CIA boss (prior to being in that position) appeared to reveal a lot more about the "plot" that suggested that here was never any actual threat at all. Furthermore, the AP had agreed to hold off on publishing the info until the government had made it clear that there was no risk.

Investors Speaking Up About Patents Harming Innovation
from the good-for-them dept
The whole thing is nuts. I can't understand why our goverment allows this shit to go on. It's wrong and its bad for society to have this cancer growing inside our economy. Every time I get a meeting with a legislator or goverment employee working in and around the innovation sector, I bring up the patent system and in particular software patents. We need to change the laws. We need to eliminate software patents. This ridiculous Lodsys situation is the perfect example of why. We need to say "enough is enough."Fred isn't missing a chance to bring this up repeatedly, and he recently made the same point on a panel discussion with two other very highly respected investors, David Lee and Chris Dixon, who agreed about the problems of the patent system (with slightly different takes on it than Fred):
"The basic problem with patents is that you're trying to assign property rights to something that doesn't deserve property rights. The fact that these property rights end up in the hands of financial owners as opposed to the original inventors just exacerbates the problem. The basic problem is that Chris [Dixon] and a bunch of engineers can be sitting at Hunch designing some amazing new feature and somebody unbeknownst to them has a patent on this feature and never actually implemented it and can now screw them over… It's just not right, it shouldn't exist."Dixon points out a key part of the problem is that so many patents are clearly obvious to anyone skilled in the art. He notes that any competent engineer could create what's found in the vast majority of software patents, and notes that the examiners simply aren't competent enough to recognize what's obvious. Dixon, who is both an investor and a long-term entrepreneur, certainly knows these things. What's amazing to me, honestly, is how few people in Silicon Valley actually think patents are a good idea any more. The system has become so distorted that most of the people they're supposed to benefit the most don't want them, but feel compelled to get them due to the system. What a massive amount of waste, leading to a mess that holds back innovation.
Wilson makes one other statement that I thought was interesting. He compared patenting software to patenting music, noting that neither makes sense.
