The title says it all in a nutshell about the multiple consulting courses offered by the school - New Venture Consulting, International Business Consulting, Business Sustainability Consulting and Community Development & Entrepreneurship Clinic I & II. These courses are fantastic opportunities that allow students to apply their academic knowledge in solving a real world business issue/issues and to come up with the best strategic, practical and implementable solution.
I took International Business Consulting course in Fall 09 with professor Tom Kelley. The consulting firm for my project was a local biotech company that wanted to increase their marketshare by gaining an indepth understanding of their customers. We reached out to 8000+ worldwide potential and current customers representing 15+ countries. Feedback response rate was ~ 2.5%, higher than the industry average of ~1%. We ended up giving four strategic recommendations to the company, all of them being considered towards their business development planning. While working on such projects there is no limitation on the amount of effort; You can expand as much as you want and in any direction. The goal is to crack client's business problem.
So how does consulting help ?
It is a great way for anyone wanting to learn more about a new industry or a different business domain. If you are thinking of a career change this course can help you give a feel about your target career (given the project is related to your target industry). Or you can just take this course to sharpen your business skills.
This course covers full nine yards of consulting engagement process. You will learn to probe business problem, identify top/relevant pain points that the company is facing, think about possible and sometimes innovative solutions, perform research, learn about formal presentation techniques, write a structured project report and conclude all efforts by giving a 45 minute presentation to the executive team. Additionally, you will be working in a small team of 2~3 people. It is a great way to put your MBA 510 skills at play (and get the job done despite personality issues).
Every quarter, the projects are as diverse as one can think of - from using speed boat racing opportunity to further business opportunties in Abu Dhabhi to helping Costco demystify their warehouse floor space and link it with sales. Albers offers different kinds of consulting courses that focus on different kinds of businesses, so there is quite a variety of consulting engagements to choose from.
I highly recommend this course in enhancing your graduate program experience at Albers. Like professor Kelley says 'It's a hard grind going through the consulting engagement, but at the end you feel immensely satisfied'.

Nearing the last quarter of my MBA, I have been thinking about the things I wish I had known at the start of this journey.
First, having lived and gone to school on the Seattle side of Lake Washington, I was afraid to venture over to the Bellevue campus until two quarters ago for fear of the traffic and parking. For those of you with the same reservations, I would recommend that you check out the Bellevue campus. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I didn't encounter the traffic I feared and the parking was plentiful.
Second, I wish I had known was how easy it was to access business journal articles by searching the library databases. If you do a regular keyword search from the library's website, you may only get access to abstracts. To get a PDF or HTML of the whole article, it may be necessary to go through the Business Source Complete database located on the library's website. This extra step has saved me much time and frustration.
Third, I wish I had known how easy it is to use the statistical modeling software we have access to through the computers at the Albers School. Taking thirty minutes to learn the basics on a Monte Carlo simulation program will make your papers and presentations really stand out.
Fourth, I wish I had known how quickly the MBA program goes by! My advice to incoming students is to take advantage of the opportunities to network with your classmates and if you have time, try an internship in your area of interest. I did two internships this past year, and learned valuable lessons from both of them. It allowed me the freedom to explore potential careers and it was a great opportunity to network with those already in the field. Good luck in your graduate endeavors!

After attending the SU Youth Initiative Forum this afternoon, I have realized deeply that there are a huge number of youth in our community who are waiting for support, especially those coming from low-income families. We have the responsibility to inspire the youth to growth in a safe and positive learning environment by encouraging them and supporting them with our experiences and resources. It is very important to help them accomplish their dreams, increase their confidence, and make them aware of the steps they need to take in order to overcome the challenges. It is very true that many youth face major academic challenges, barriers to graduating from high school, and lack of access to higher education.
Having the professors, undergraduates and graduates in the forum was very helpful because they came up with so many great ideas, such as organizing college visits, setting up mentor programs, inviting community leaders to do workshops, and creating summer jobs and volunteer opportunities, etc. It includes field trips to SU so the youth can experience college life. Moreover, we talked about how to make more meaningful and interactive after school programs for the youth. The most important thing for SU Youth Initiative is the University will offer support throughout the many phases of a child's life, both in and out of school, pre-K through high school and beyond.
A great program can fail if we don't have good people involved. In order to put words into action, SU Youth Initiative is looking for Albers Graduate students to help organize different events.
For more information, please visit http://www.seattleu.edu/suyi/Default.aspx
Please remember, Youth are our future. Together, we can build a better community.

For graduate students seeking scholarships, I highly recommend checking out theWASHBOARD.org. I registered on this site last week and found it was very user-friendly. After filling out a simple questionnaire about my educational background and interests, it highlighted some scholarships I may qualify for, based on my answers to the questionnaire. I haven't received any unwanted emails from this site, and it has proven informative in providing me with details about the opportunities, such as what the deadlines were and allowing online access to the application forms, along with a link to print out a PDF of the forms for those who prefer to mail in their applications.
A word of caution: There are two websites that may be confused with theWASHBOARD.org: washboard.org (without the "the" in the beginning) and washboard.com. Ensure that you are at theWASHBOARD.orgto avoid any confusion.
Another good website for scholarship opportunities can be found at http://www.seattleu.edu/albers/gradfinancing/
This site, run by the Albers School of Business and Economics, is a great resource with local and national scholarships, along with links to information about federal student loans and fellowship opportunities.

iPod For Audiophiles?
What you get is an MSB charging dock that replaces your iPod's analog outputs with an MSB DAC with RF remote capabilities. It requires modification of your iPod (included in the price)—or you could buy the package with an 80GB pre-modded iPod Video for $2349.
So why is it better than CD? "With the RF dongle connected to your iPod, you can listen to high-rez, lossless audio from your listening chair, but you're holding the iPod in your hand," Gullman said. Your collection is there and you control it, but the sound is better than anything other than the original CD."
So how is that better than CD?
"Because you have your iPod with you. Who knows where you left that CD?"
The man does have a point.

This May, Dark Horse grows its superhero pantheon with a revival of '60s hero "Brain Boy" from Fred Van Lente and the all-new hero Blackout. Mike Richardson explains how it all comes together.
Full article here.
This May, Dark Horse grows its superhero pantheon with a revival of '60s hero "Brain Boy" from Fred Van Lente and the all-new hero Blackout. Mike Richardson explains how it all comes together.
Full article here.
Blackout sounds interesting, I don't buy DHP(too expensive), but I will check out the #0 and minis. Starting from 2012, we seem to be in a new Indie boom just like the 90's.
New Avengers*Unity* Shadowman* RAI* TRANSFORMERS* AVP
Well, ive been enjoying Ghost and plan to checkout X and Catalyst Comix (mostly for Casey written Supes) so ill keep an eye on these too.
I agree that Blackout sounds promising. Looking at that retro cover for Brain Boy cracked me up.
I'm liking Ghost alright. Waiting for X to be collected out of DHP. The cover price on DHP is crazy, you have to be very indie dedicated to get that each time it's out.
I'm also going to grab Catalyst when it debuts.
"Freedom is the Right of ALL Sentient Beings" - Optimus Prime
This sounds interesting. As I keep dropping DC titles, it will be interesting to see superhero books from another company that is not so editorially overbearing. I have looked at a couple of Valiant books that looked good. I may start those. I could give these a try to. The important thing will be to see if they can be like Image, where you get the feeling that the writer is in charge and you never know where the book is going to go.
Current Favorites: The Goon, Batgirl, Chew,The Sixth Gun, Fatale, Saga, Diskordia, Think Tank, Archie, Rachel Rising, Red Sonja, X, Wonder Woman, Powerpuff Girls, Watson and Holmes, Alex & Ada
Everyone has ONE book, in their collection, their oldest owned comic.For me, brain boy 6 is that book! Frank Springer was a decent artist, taking over shield after steranko left.Now they got to do something as well, with the backup character, the strange mr. ozmadaus. Im sure I spelled that wrong. Very moody supernatural guy, with real potentual.The first issue was done by Gil Kane, had he done all six, more would know the character better.
I don't have bough "Ghost" because I have not like the character presented into the pages of DHP (which is cheaper: 80 stories pages for $8.00 = $2.00 the 20 stories pages. So, which publisher is doing that except DHP??? Hum???), but I will do "X", "Captain Midnight" and these two new titles.
I already have dropped all the DCnU titles, and I am dropping a lot of Marvel NOW titles as well. So, for "super-heroes" comic books publishers, we have Dark Horse and Valiant. DE is cool too but its release scheduling is not perfect and all is titles are licensed titles...
Yeah, a return to the sources... Are we in the 2010s????
2000 AD of course!!!All Hail The Mighty Tharg
Brain Boy is an interesting concept, but their other licensed Gold Key books didn't do that well.
David Bowie fan
I wonder if Darkhorse is bring back their superhero characters due to fear they will loose their Starwars license in a few years to Marvel?
Pull List: Transformers, Darth Vader, Superior Spiderman, Forever Evil.
I'll try Brain Boy. I like the offbeat 60's Gold Key characters.
Not at all familiar with Blackout, but was a huge fan of Brain Boy.To me having read Harbinger Vol.1 from the VH1 era and having followed VH 2's Harbinger it strikes me that this is where Shooter and company lifted the idea for Harbinger.Nothing wrong with that,but did anyone notice no mention(unless I missed it) of Dell/Gold Key connections or the debacle of Dark Key? This has a lot of potential and as one poster here mentioned the original retro cover I'd love to see Brain Boy placed in it's original Cold War era.Right now any premise is OK with me.I guess this means some Gold Key is still in DH's hands?
FWIW- Brain Boy is NOT a Gold Key character.
He was created for Dell Comics separate from Western, and was published by Dell after the Dell/Western split. (Western then launched Gold Key as their comics line, forcing Dell to come up with their own characters).
Dell went on to create a few interesting characters like Nukla (sort like Charlton's Captain Atom), Fab 4, and used the 3 Universal Monsters as superheroes (Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolfman). There were also adventure titles like Kona Monarch of Monster Isle, Toka the Jungle King, and Naza Stone Age Warrior.
John Stanley, the man behind the success of Little Lulu, went to Dell to do their Nancy & Sluggo title, and created several original titles like Melvin Monster, Thirteen going on Eighteen, Kookie, Dunc and Lou and others.
Not sure who owns the rights to the Dell stuff (they aren't PD).
Thanks for the clarification.When I read some of the Dell/Gold Key stuff back in the day some of what I was reading may have been reprints which confused the whole thing even further.The painted covers on some titles gave the books a similar but distinctive look.Not sure if artists crossed back and forth or not.Despite the similarities with Turok I wouldn't mind seeing Naza resurface.I don't remember a lot of that one or the jungle titles either. So basically Richardson doesn't have to refererence Dark Key in relation to this book. But hopefully the pitfalls with that project will be avoided with BB and any other Dell launches. I'm glad he likes Brain Boy, but I gotta wonder why this one because it's pretty obscure.
Sometimes the obscure titles are the best to reboot because you have a base concept with a lot of room to work with. Being one of the earliest "plain-clothed" superheroes definitely made Brain Boy innovative. It wouldn't surprise me if that book influenced a lot of people (Shooter included).
Speaking of Shooter, the best move being made here is staying away from him. As brilliant as the guy was in his heyday, his style just doesn't work anymore. The Dark Key stuff showed that, and its funny that DH has now turned to another creator responsible for the success of the new VALIANT in FVL to launch a property (Dwayne S was also brought in on X).
VALIANT, Saga, Chew, Manhattan Projects, Revival, East of West, Locke & Key, Hawkeye, Young Avengers.

PreventionPersonal hygiene is the first step in decreasing human to human transmission. This is especially important for those involved in food preparation, either in the home or in public places. Vaccines to prevent the infection are being developed but are still in the research phase and not available for human use. Helicobacter pylori is a worldwide epidemic, and the bacteria have infected humans for thousands of years. It is seen more frequently in populations afflicted with poverty and lack of access to clean water and sewage removal. Increasing basic living standards and providing clean water should decrease the potential for infection. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori)

M10W5-CG-TB: 10-inch (250 mm) Marine Subwoofer Driver, Titanium Classic Grilles, 4 Ω
M-Series 10-inch Marine Subwoofer Driver for Enclosed Use (250 W, 4 Ω) - Titanium Classic Grille
With appropriate system setup, the addition of a subwoofer allows your smaller main speakers to be free of the burden of reproducing low frequencies. This allows your whole system to play louder and to sound cleaner at all listening levels.
Purpose-engineered and built for real marine duty, the M10W5 subwoofers are designed to operate in a compact sealed enclosure. Long excursion capability and rugged suspension systems help produce deep, powerful bass response that will transform your boat's audio system.
The M10W5 is best used with amplifier power in the 75W - 250W range and is optimized to operate in a 1.0 cu.ft. (28.3 l) sealed enclosure. If you need a subwoofer driver that operates without a dedicated enclousre, select our M10IB4, instead.
Like all JL Audio marine speakers, this driver is built to withstand a real saltwater marine environment and deliver years of listening enjoyment.

The time has come and here is what you need to get motivated to stop smoking!
Main QUIT message:
Smokers know that cigarettes are bad for them. Many of them feel that quitting is too hard, that they won't make it – or that they will do it tomorrow, next month, when they're 30, or when they're 40. The QUIT campaign reminds smokers that it's never too late, and that quitting is worth it. Most people try to quit a few times before quitting for good, and each time, they gain skills and confidence that help them to take that permanent step.
Why is it so difficult to stop?
Stick with it. You have to remember all the benefits of a smoke-free life. For example:
For help to QUIT smoking:
There are several different types of baldness, some of which can be temporary. However the most common form of baldness that men worry about is known as male pattern baldness. 95% of male hair loss is caused by this.
The fancy scientific term for male pattern baldness is androgenic alopecia. Bit of an unsexy mouthful eh?
Balding generally starts when a man is in his 20s or 30s. About 50% of men begin to lose their hair by the time they are 30, and 60% of men have lost hair by the time they are 60. It is a genetic condition, which means that you are born with the tendency to develop this type of baldness.
What causes it?
Basically male pattern baldness is caused by the male hormone testosterone converting to a hormone known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on the glands of the scalp.
DHT then shrinks and reduces blood flow to the hair follicles. With reduced blood flow and shrinkage, hair can no longer re-grow. So it starts to fall out. First the hairline recedes back, followed by the hair on the top of the head.
The amount of DHT you produce and your sensitivity to it is controlled by your genes. It used to be thought that the genes for male pattern baldness came only from the mother's side, but we now know that they come from both sides.
Trauma can cause temporary hair loss also i.e. car accidents or severe emotional upsets. However, this hair loss is usually temporary and does not start with receding along the hairline as in male pattern baldness. Rather, the hair falls out fairly evenly all over the head in such cases. This type of temporary hair loss can also be caused by an underactive or over active thyroid, nutrient deficiencies and hair pulling.
What can you do about it?
We're all different. We come from diverse backgrounds and cultures, we like different things and we have different beliefs. And we also all have very distinctive body shapes and sizes.
Healthy body image
What do you think when you look in the mirror? Are you happy with what you see or do you spend ages worrying about whether you look the way you 'should'?
Don't get hung up on your body, remember It takes all sorts to make the world. There are millions of different types of people so accept yourself as you are. With all the bodily changes (and life changes) taking place during your teens and early twenties it's easy to become obsessed with how you look. Afterall your body is going through a lot of changes during this time and all those hormones whizzing around can really affect your moods.
It can be really hard if you are developing faster or slower than your friends, but remember that everyone develops at a different rate. In the long run, it makes no difference when you start and it won't affect what you will be like as an adult. This body stuff is not a competition. Try to relax, and if you are really worried talk to your parents, friends or someone that you trust.
Remember: you are who you are, there is no one in the world like you–which makes every one of us different and special in our own right. Each of us has a purpose, we have our own skills and talents, our own ambitions in life and our own sense of who we want to be.
You don't have to follow trends to be 'cool' or to be part of the 'in crowd'. Just because a singer, movie star, or even friends want you to look or act like them or do what they do doesn't mean you have to.
You can be an individual, wear the clothes you want and choose whatever accessories you wish–as long as you feel happy with yourself, that's all that counts.
Make sure you don't let others put you down or try to change you, they're not you! They don't feel what you feel. You live your life and let them get on with theirs. Be happy in your own skin and enjoy being your own individual self.

Have you got an opinion on sexual health in Ireland? Well, maybe you'd like to share your views in the comments below or share your thoughts by writing an article for us.
All this week on SpunOut.ie we will be putting the spotlight on sexual health to coincide with the national Sexual Health Awareness Week (SHAW). We have asked young people to write about the subject for us, and to tell us what they really think about sex and relationships.
What young people are telling us above everything else is that the sexual health education in Ireland needs to change. It is widely accepted that sexual education in many Irish schools is both of poor quality and inconsistent.
Many adults are embarrassed to talk about sex with younger people and more often than not, the topic is avoided completely. Parents feel uncomfortable talking about sex with their children, and rely on schools to have the conversation with them instead. However, many teachers feel unprepared and uncomfortable in having these conversations as well, which results in young people having little or no quality sex education at all.
Research released by Dail na Nog in 2010 showed that a whopping 74% of young people surveyed had received no relationship and sexuality education (RSE). The small number of those who had, said that it was delivered mainly in religion class.
A report by Unicef Ireland (Sexual Health and Behaviour) says that children get their information about sex from friends, school, the internet and television – in that order, with a massive 81 per cent of teens revealing that they never talk to their parents about sex at all.
Here at SpunOut, we believe that helping young people learn about sex and relationships is an important job, which must be a partnership between parents, teachers and the wider community.
There's no doubt that there are some teachers and parents out there who are doing a great job in delivering good sexual health education to their young people. But the problem is that this is not the case for everyone. We want to change this. Everyone deserves the right to good quality sexual health information no matter where they are from or what school they go to.
For too long in Ireland we have avoided having important conversations about topics we feel uncomfortable with. This has to stop. Young people are having sex whether we talk to them about it or not. So why not make sure they are doing so in a safe responsible way by ensuring they have enough information to make safe healthy decisions.
We need to consult with our young people and ask them what they want from a relationship and sexuality education.Young people have told SpunOut that relationships and sexual health education needs to focus on things like respect in relationships, STIs and how and where to get tested, and not just focus on the mechanics of sex and how to avoid getting pregnant.They want issues like porn to be discussed, different methods of contraception and how to know if you're ready for sex.
Young people deserve up to date, relevant, guidance that reflects the reality for young people navigating life today, not 10 or 20 years ago. This includes the realities of real sex versus porn sex, issues around body image and respect.
To get more of an insight into what young people are saying about sex and relationships read their blogs here:
The team here at SpunOut.ie and comedian Des Bishop have launched a new initiative aimed at reacquainting ourselves with Sunday mornings.
'Hello Sunday Morning' encourages us to try life without booze for a few weeks, a few months or even a year, and to write about our experiences online at www.HelloSundayMorning.ie
Check out this video we made with Des:
'Hello Sunday Morning' focuses on encouraging people to realise their full potential and not to feel that you need alcohol to enjoy yourself. It is not an anti-alcohol initiative, nor does the campaign urge people to give up alcohol for good, but rather to take a break and see what happens and use that experience to inform your future drinking habits.
What is impressive about 'Hello Sunday Morning' is that it encourages people to change their lifestyles and have the power to control their lives. Alcohol takes too much of a grip on people and that can never be a good thing. You should be controlling alcohol – not the other way around. The research from the Australian example is clear; when you do take a break from alcohol, you feel better, you feel more in control and you end up – generally speaking – with a better relationship with alcohol.
We've asked a number of SpunOut friends to 'do' a Hello Sunday Morning (HSM) for the month of March (including Paddy's Day!), they include:
Check out the the full list and follow them on twitter here

October 10th is World Mental Health Day and to mark it, all this week we will be posting articles related to mental health and wellbeing.
Our mental health is more than just mental illness or mental health problems, it's also about the times we feel well, and feel good about ourselves.
Our mental health is so important and it is vital that we look after it, because when we don't, it can have drastic consequences.
Statistics tell us that one in four people will experience mental health difficulties at some stage in their life, which means that you or someone you know will be affected.
Unfortunately, there is still a stigma that is associated with mental health, but slowly that is changing. And that is down to each and every one of you who have shared your story on SpunOut.ie of tough times and how you got through them.
We want to thank all of you who have written about your experience of mental health and how it has affected you. Each time we speak out, we are helping to break down the stigma and making it easier for others to speak out about their experience.
We feel extremely privileged that you want to share your story with us and other young people around Ireland. Never underestimate the power of your story!
To celebrate World Mental Health day, we are asking that you take some time to seriously think about your mental health and how you can mind it.
Take some time out, and do something nice for yourself. Hang out with your friends, or watch a funny movie. Whatever you choose to do, have fun and remember to take some time each day to do something simple to mind your mental health.
We'd love to hear how you mind your mental health in the comments below or send us a tweet on www.twitter.com/spunout
September 10th 2013 is World Suicide Prevention Day. This is 24 hours dedicated to the almost one million people worldwide who die from suicide every year. Around 500 of those lives (our parents, siblings, mates, colleagues and neighbours) were lost tragically in Ireland.
On this day SpunOut.ie is asking people all over Ireland to remember all those who have died by suicide, and to think of those who may currently be going through tough times.
Suicide is a big problem in Ireland, and for too long the stigma associated with suicide has stopped us from talking about our mental health.
We want you to know that no matter how difficult things are, there are always solutions and help out there to help you through tough times. If you are going through difficulties, please let someone know.
No matter how big your problems may seem, talking to someone will help. You can find information about relevant support services in Ireland in our Help services database.
One of our SpunOutters Mairead challenges the stigma of mental illness with her article: I'm just like you. Help to break down the stigma by sharing it online.
Download our Links for Life image, and share on social media
Often people don't know what they can do to help especially when the problem seems so big. One thing that you can do is to share our Links for Life image on social media, or save it on your phone so you have the necessary information to get help when you or someone you know needs it. You can download the image at http://spunout.ie/about/downloads
Read and share our mental health content
We have loads of factsheets on mental health and real life stories by people who have gone through tough times. Some of the articles you might want to read are:
How to support a friend going through depression
Sign Mental Health Reform's petition
The amount of money spent each year by the government on mental health services is only a fraction of what is really needed. Mental Health Reform are asking people to sign their petition to make it clear to politicians that mental health is important and that the money allocated to mental health service needs to be spent on mental health services and not something else. You can find more information about the Mental Health reform's petition here.
Remember, there is always support out there!
The Irish Family Planning Association, in conjunction with Lloyds Online Doctor, have launched a new easy-to-use home STI testing kit. The kits test for some of the most common STIs such as gonorrhoea, HIV and chlamydia and costs from €50 for a standard sexual health test and €70 for an enhanced sexual health test.
To see if you are eligible for a test you go on Lloyds Online Doctor's website and fill out a questionnaire. From there, you will be directed to either go visit your GP or proceed to order your test. You create an online profile to order the test and can order your kit to any nominated address. The packaging is 100% discreet and can fit through a letterbox so you avoid needing someone to sign for your package.
Lloyds Online Doctor Home STI Test Kit from Stephen Bourke on Vimeo.
Once you receive the kit, you provide your urine sample if you are male, and vaginal swab if you are female and post back to the Med Lab in Dublin. Should you have any queries throughout the process, you have medical experts on Lloyds Online Doctor at your disposal.
For your results, you will simply receive a text saying your results are online where you can log in to your secure profile and see for yourself.
The whole process takes about a week (depending on postage) and is easy and simple to use. To find out more, click on the links below.
This test kit cannot detect chlamydia or gonorrhoea if you were infected in the last two weeks, therefore it is recommended that you use the test at least 14 days after any possible exposure to an STI.
If your chlamydia test result is positive you will be posted a prescription for treatment at no extra charge. You can then take this to your local pharmacy to purchase your treatment. If your gonorrhoea test result is positive, a doctor will advise what to do next.
For more information about safer sex and how to prevent STI's check out our factsheets.

bequests and planned gifts
Legacy gifts enable you to make a lasting contribution to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network at a level you may not have been able to achieve during your lifetime. Naming the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network as a beneficiary in a Will or Living Trust, Insurance Policy or IRA/Retirement Plan are common examples of legacy gifts.
Another planned giving option allows donors to support the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and receive tax relief by leveraging certain kinds of appreciated assets, such as stock. Charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Lead Trusts are two examples of this kind of planned gift.
Please keep in mind that the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is not engaged in rendering legal or tax advisory services and that advice from legal counsel, such as an attorney or other professional advisor, should be sought when considering these types of gifts. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network will be happy to work with your advisor to ensure that your gift will have the greatest possible impact on our quest to defeat pancreatic cancer.
If you have already included the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in your estate plans, please let us know so that we may thank you. If not and you would like to find out more, please contact:
Donor Relations Department, 877-272-6226 Email: email@example.com

Shaw Excited About Chance |
National Teams - USA Men |
Robbie Shaw entered 2008 feeling full of optimism. The scrumhalf, who qualified for the USA through his American mother, looked to be poised to break in as one of the Eagles #9s. Shaw did that, starting against Ireland A and Canada, but after that he was on the outside looking in. That November, Shaw was made captain of the USA Selects that played the New Zealand Heartland XV, but that meant he didn't get to play in the test match against Uruguay, and he did not accompany the team on its tour of Japan, either. Not picked by Eddie O'Sullivan in 2009, Shaw then injured his knee, and worked long and hard to get back on the field for Bristol in England. Now Shaw has his shot. He is healthy and has been playing well, and he has been named as the third scrumhalf in Eddie O'Sullivan's 36-man squad to take on Canada in August. "It's been a long time," said Shaw. "All I can do now is hope I get a chance to show what I can do on the field and hopefully make a big impact." Shaw said his biggest jobs will be to assimilate quickly into the team culture, and to learn everything he can about the team's pattern of play. "It's been the perfect buildup for me," Shaw said. "I have really enjoyed it here, and I get to work with people such as Simon Easterby, who played for Eddie O'Sullivan with Ireland." "Dave Hodges is one of those players who made such a good impression that it's become a little easier for Americans to play professionally," said Shaw. "Everyone here talks about what a strong player he was." |

Here are three articles that haven't gotten a lot of play that I think are well worth reading.
This is the most scholarly, it's by Ed Leamer (hat tip to Mark Perry).
This is a great rant.
This one explains that we need a financial Isiah Thomas to overpay for bad assets (note that it contains some non-family friendly pictures but is *awesome*).

Following that, we got a chance to look at ADATA's more traditional product lines including some MicroSDXC memory cards, Thunderbolt hard drives, and USB 3.0 thumb drives.
First, came the ADATA's 64GB MicroSDXC memory card, which should add a ton of capacity to anyone's smartphone or tablet with reasonably fast speeds considering it is UHS Class 1 speed.
After that, we took a look at ADATA's SE900 Thunderbolt enabled 256GB hard drive, which will be their first and fastest Thunderbolt accessory. Not only that, but this drive is actually an SSD, which means that it will be very fast compared to most Thunderbolt drives, and very shock resistant.
Last, but not least, we have the USB 3.0 UE700 (same name as a Logitech pair of headphones we reviewed?). This is ADATA's best and fastest USB drive on the market. While they haven't claimed exact speeds, yet, we've heard murmurings of speeds in excess of 200 MB/s. While we're not sure how this is possible, we're more than happy to see something this thin and small being that fast. This is probably one of the best looking USB drives we've ever seen come to market, and we're excited to see how it performs.
Well, that's it for ADATA at CES 2013, hopefully we'll have more for you with updates and reviews through 2013.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- New Englanders struggled to dig out from as much as 3 feet of snow Saturday and emergency crews used snowmobiles to reach shivering motorists stranded on New York's Long Island after a howling storm swept through the Northeast.
About 650,000 homes and businesses were left without electricity, and some could be cold and dark for days. Many roads across the New York-to-Boston corridor of roughly 25 million people were impassable. Cars were entombed by drifts. Some people woke up in the morning to find the snow packed so high they couldn't get their house doors open.
"It's like lifting cement. They say it's 2 feet, but I think it's more like 3 feet," said Michael Levesque, who was shoveling snow in Quincy, Mass., as part of a work crew for a landscaping company.
At least four U.S. deaths were blamed on the overnight snowstorm, including an 11-year-old boy in Boston who was overcome by carbon monoxide as he sat in a running car to keep warm while his father shoveled Saturday morning. Additionally, at least three people died in Canada.
In Providence, R.I., Jason Harrison had been working for nearly three hours to clear 3 feet of snow that blocked his driveway and front walk, and he still had more work to do. His snowblower, he said, "has already paid for itself."
Neighbors Rebekah and John Speck strapped on cross-country skis and coasted past snowdrifts 5 feet high and drooping telephone lines encrusted with snow.
Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee cautioned that, while the snow had stopped, the danger hadn't yet passed: "People need to take this storm seriously, even after it's over. If you have any kind of heart condition, be careful with the shoveling."
With wind gusting over 80 mph in places, the storm appeared to hit hardest along the heavily populated Interstate 95 corridor between the New York metropolitan area and Maine. Milford, Conn., got 38 inches of snow, and Portland, Maine, recorded 31.9 inches, shattering a 1979 record. Several communities in New York and across New England got more than 2 feet.
Still, the storm was not as bad as the some forecasters led many to fear, and not as dire as the Blizzard of '78, used by longtime New Englanders as the benchmark by which all other winter storms are measured.
By midday Saturday, the National Weather Service reported preliminary snowfall totals of 21.8 inches in Boston, ranking the storm sixth for all-time snowfall. Bradley Airport, near Hartford, Conn., got 22 inches, for No. 2 in the record books.
In New York City, where Central Park recorded 11 inches of snow, not even enough to make the all-time Top 10 list, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the city "dodged a bullet" and its streets were "in great shape." The three major airports -- LaGuardia, Kennedy and Newark, N.J. -- were up and running by late morning after shutting down the evening before.
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island imposed travel bans to keep cars off the roads and let plows do their work, and National Guardsmen joined state crews in clearing Connecticut highways.
Hundreds of motorists in New York abandoned their vehicles on the roads overnight on Long Island, which got 2 feet of snow. Even snowplows got stuck.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked cities and towns to send more plows, and emergency workers used snowmobiles to reach stranded motorists, some of whom spent the night bundled up in their cars.

BOSTON - A New Bedford man was convicted today in federal court on child pornography charges.
Christopher E. Reardon, 26, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Joseph L. Tauro to possession of child pornography. Judge Tauro scheduled sentencing for May 9th. Reardon faces up to10 years in prison to be followed by at least five years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.
Had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that Reardon used a peer-to-peer network and software to make child pornography available to other users. Reardon admitted to downloading, receiving, and possessing child pornography. A forensic examination of his computer media revealed over 50,000 images and videos of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and Richard DesLauriers, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division, made the announcement today. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael I. Yoon of Ortiz's Major Crimes Unit, and Trial Attorney Thomas Franzinger of the Department of Justice's Child Exploitation & Obscenity Section.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

HUDSON VALLEY -- U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have sent a letter to FEMA, urging them to amend the major disaster declaration to include Orange and Putnam counties. This is following severe storm damage caused by Sandy.
Their letter says hundreds of roads have been closed due to downed trees and power lines, and thousands of residents are still without power. The Senators say FEMA needs to provide individual and public assistance for the two counties.

A country-rock band comprised of veteran Nashville musicians who came from all over the states (specifically Oklahoma, New Jersey, Louisiana, and Tennessee) to live and work in Music City, the Dirt Drifters honed their funky honky tonk sound through countless gigs, building a fan following the old-fashioned way by playing small clubs and bars. Comprised of Matt Fleener (lead vocals, guitar), Ryan Fleener (vocals, guitar), Jeff Middleton (guitar, vocals), Jeremy Little (bass), and Nick Diamond (drums), the band boasts a wide palette of influences and styles, from country and rock to funk and R&B, all of which they've rolled up into a gritty roadhouse style. The Dirt Drifters signed with Warner Bros. Records and entered the studio with producer Justin Niebank to record a debut album. This Is My Blood was released in mid-summer 2011. ~ Steve Leggett

Migration Assistant - 10.8.2 setup to new Mini?
I plan to get a new Mini soon - within the next week or so. Currently my early 2009 iMac is running 10.8.2. What I plan to do is use Migration Assistant to move my setup (apps and files) from the iMac to the Mini.
However, with all this brew-ha-ha over the "special" version of 10.8.2 for new Mini's being pulled - it sounds like my new Mini will come with 10.8.1 installed. So, am I screwed and won't be able to migrate off the iMac until the Mini is actually running a release of 10.8.2 sometime down the road?

I used migration assistant to migrate my data from my 2009 mbp (running 10.8.2) to my 2012 mac mini running 10.8.1 about 2 weeks ago. When it was finished my data was successfully transferred but the new mini was still running 10.8.1.
The bottom line is you can successfully do migration assistant but your new mini will still be running 10.8.1 when all is said and done. That means that iPhoto will not work until Apple puts back a special version of 10.8.2 for the mini's or a unified 10.8.3 comes out. * iPhoto was the only one I use of the iLife apps so some of the others (garageband etc) may need 10.8.2 to work also. |

My Mini arrived yesterday with 10.8.2 on it. I have not applied any system updates in case something gets messed up.
I didn't use Migration Assistant as I wanted to have a close to a clean new setup as possible, but this did complicate moving iTunes across a little. iPhoto was easy though, just drag-n-drop. Simon Hibbs |

Thanks for the responses! I'll definitely be doing migration assistant....too many apps to try and drag and drop reliably

I have fusion 5 with both windows xp and win7 running under it and migration assistant moved them to my new mini. I've had no problems with any of my apps that were moved from my mbp to the new mini using migration assistant.

I've just bought a new computer which has come with PE9 pre-installed. It looks like it could be a great program but ...
Two big problems. Firstly, I tried importing all my pictures from "My Pictures". All my pictures are neatly arranged into their various folders so I clicked on "My Pictures" and it imported all 2000+ photos straight away which was great. However, the big problem is that it has copied every picture individually i.e. it hasn't imported the 20 odd individual folders I had those files arranged in. So firstly, and most importantly, how do I import multiple folders at the same time or can't I? Do I need to remove everything and just copy each individual folder across one by one? Because that sounds like an awful lot of work! I'm assuming it should import multiple folders at the same time but, as usual, there's nothing I can find on the forums or the FAQs to answer the question.
Your help and advice would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
Thanks for that quick response. That's certainly easier. But is there no
way to automatically duplicate the folder names? At the moment I've still
got to manually recreate the same folder name, then import the files, then
copy them to the newly created folder. It's not the end of the world if I
can't do that but it's just time consuming and cumbersome!
Many thanks.
