WASHINGTON - Flu activity is picking up in Virginia and Maryland, according to the states' health departments, as federal health officials predict a bad year for the flu.
The dominate strain of the flu virus circulating is H3N2. This strain has caused more severe flu seasons in past years when the strain was circulating, says Tom Skinner, spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The peak of the flu season is typically mid-January through February but the season has struck early this year, which is also common with the H3N2 strain, according to the CDC.
"While flu is always unpredictable, the early nature of the cases as well as the specific strains we're seeing suggest that this could be a bad flu year," said CDC Director Thomas Frieden during a December flu press conference.
"When someone has the flu, they have a pretty rapid onset of fever, severe muscle aches and coughing," Skinner says. "It's almost as if they've been hit by a train, is how people describe it."
Skinner says the best defense is still the flu shot.
"Vaccination is really important. It's the simple most important thing that someone can do to protect themselves from getting the flu. So we want to make sure everybody has gotten vaccinated this year, everyone over the age of 6 months old," he tells WTOP.
Skinner says the vaccine is 60 to 70 percent effective for most people.
"People who have been vaccinated and still come down with the flu tend to have a less severe form of the disease. And it can also help prevent some of the real serious secondary complications that sometimes accompany a bout of the flu," Skinner says.
Complications can include bacterial pneumonia, which can become life-threatening. Children younger than 5, adults ages 65 and over, pregnant women, and those with a chronic health condition and the morbidly obese are at a greater risk for complications.
In Virginia, the number of flu cases spiked the week ending Dec. 22 compared to the prior week. Data for the last week of December was not yet available Wednesday.
The Virginia Department of Health is reporting that flu activity in the state is widespread. Southwest Virginia had the biggest spike in cases. And patients ages 5 to 18 had the most cases of the flu, according to the Virginia Department of Health.
The Maryland Department of Health reports that flu activity is moderate the same week ending Dec. 22 with 1,269 confirmed cases of the flue, up from 639 cases the week before.
Patients ages 5 to 24 had the highest number of office and emergency room visits for flu symptoms, according to Maryland's weekly flu report.
Similar information was not available for the District of Columbia Wednesday.
Skinner says the CDC Flu View tracking map is showing more influenza activity in the South and Eastern regions of the country.

For many people, Christmas stockings are the very best part of the whole holiday. Here at RedEnvelope, we tend to agree! See our unique Christmas stockings, and find the perfect one for each family member. Our personalized Christmas stockings add a customized element to your home décor, and help little ones to know exactly which gifts belong to them. Find a full assortment of Christmas stockings, from traditional to whimsical, online at RedEnvelope. Then, see our collection of Christmas stocking stuffers to get everything you need for filling them up!
Christmas stockings have become a part of many a family's holiday traditions, and they bring a little bit of extra cheer to the festivities. Some parents select a new stocking each Christmas, to commemorate the passage of another year. This can begin with baby Christmas gifts of his or her first Christmas stocking, and continue until they're all grownup. Hopefully they will incorporate the tradition into their own celebration each year! Try announcing a theme each year, and selecting coordinating stockings. There are stockings featuring Disney characters and Nickelodeon characters; both are perfect for little ones. You can also purchase stockings made of particular materials, or comically large over-sized stockings, or stockings in an unexpected color. Trying to best last year's stockings will become a fun game that the family looks forward to.
Personalized Christmas stockings are a great idea for anyone, but large families can find them particularly helpful. Have each stocking customized with the person's name, and then wait for them to be magically filled overnight. This helps to ensure that Santa puts the right gifts in each person's stocking! Speaking of gifts – what should you fill these stockings with? Christmas jewelry is just the right size, so you might want to tuck a jewelry box in the toe of the stocking. Fill the rest up with inexpensive gifts, so she will be even more surprised when she hits gold. Men's cufflinks and accessories are equally welcome within Christmas stockings. Ties, wallets, and pocket watches are just a few of the many items that can be carefully nestled inside the stocking.
Christmas gifts for home & entertaining can also fit well inside his or her stocking. Consider smaller items like candles and candleholders, bottle openers, or fun coasters for stocking stuffers. Gadget gifts, including high-tech desk toys, wine accessories, and handy electronics, are great in his or her stocking. Try pairing a gadget or tool with the item that it can be used on; this makes the gift immediately appealing and way more fun. You could tuck an electronic wine thermometer in the stocking, and add her favorite bottle of red. Or, shop a leather beer holster, and include a bottle of his preferred brew. Use your imagination when shopping – 'tis the season for spur of the moment gifts and fun surprises!
Children's stockings are, of course, a huge deal on Christmas morning. They're usually the first items tackled by little kids, because they offer easy access to gifts. There's no gift wrap to tear open or tissue paper to rip away – they can just dump the stocking's contents out on the floor! Stocking stuffer Christmas gifts for kids range from plush stuffed animals and rag dolls to keepsakes and craft kits. Children usually consider bigger as equaling better, and that holds true for stocking size. Stocking stuffers, though, are often best kept small. Children are hoping to find tons of gifts inside, and you can fit more items in there if you opt for small presents. So wrap up the big toys, and set them under the tree. The stockings are for children's jewelry, figurines, action figures, fashion dolls, video games, and handheld gaming systems.
Wow them with special deliveries in their Christmas stocking, courtesy of St. Nick – and RedEnvelope!

Weathering Change
By Samuel Greengard
The challenges of operating a 21st century law firm aren't lost on Matthew Donehoo. With attorneys scattered across the country and a need to access documents and data on a 24x7x365 basis, there's absolutely no room for glitches, problems and breakdowns—and files must be stored securely. "The demand on IT systems, particularly storage, is growing exponentially," notes the director of information systems for Segal McCambridge Singer & Mahoney.
The Chicago-based law firm, which operates offices in seven states, views technology performance as an open-and-shut case. "Over the last 15 years, we grew from about 30 gigabytes of total data to more than 40 terabytes," Donehoo says. What's more, with storage demands being highly variable and new cases often requiring additional IT infrastructure and storage on short notice, Segal McCambridge recognized that it needed a more flexible architecture. "We required a whole new level of scalability that hadn't been available in the past," he explains.
The solution? Segal McCambridge turned to cloud computing. The firm now relies on an environment that provides primary data storage, offsite disaster recovery and global multisite access within a highly secure public cloud. No less important: The firm can dial up storage capacity on demand, rather than maintaining a massive inventory of extra storage. "We're more agile and more efficient," Donehoo says.
Segal McCambridge isn't alone. Despite practical challenges and security concerns, organizations across a wide swath of industries are adopting cloud solutions to become more connected, cost-efficient and nimble. A recent Tata Consultancy Services study of more than 600 firms worldwide found that cloud computing is growing rapidly. U.S. organizations now have 19 percent of their applications in the cloud, while counterparts in Asia, Europe and Latin America now top 50 percent.
"There is a growing awareness of the benefits of a cloud infrastructure," says Ananth Krishnan, chief technology officer at Tata Consultancy Services. "It's allowing organizations to standardize technology and processes and achieve gains that weren't possible in the past."
Adds Andrew Greenway, global cloud program lead at Accenture: "Organizations of every shape and size—and across every industry—are becoming increasingly comfortable with IT as a service, rather than buying components and building their own IT services."
Clouds Roll In
It's safe to say that cloud computing has emerged as a molten-hot topic. The ability to tap into infrastructure, services and applications on demand is both tempting and unsettling. Yet, somewhere between all the hype and paranoia lies a basic but important reality: "The cloud is a thoroughly disruptive technology that has a significant impact on companies, IT organizations and overall business strategies," states David Nichols, CIO Services Leader for consulting firm Ernst & Young.
Moreover, unlike most technologies that are "born, live and eventually die" within the IT organization, clouds transcend IT and the standard business model, Nichols notes. Clouds can impact an organization in a number of ways, including the ability to scale infrastructure, streamline applications and business processes, provide a higher level of connectedness and collaboration, and manage data more efficiently. In many cases, "It gives people the tools to do their jobs better," he adds.
That's certainly the case at Segal McCambridge. In September 2011, the law firm adopted a cloud-based storage solution from Nasuni to replace an existing storage area network (SAN) in Chicago and at a disaster recovery site. The cloud provides unlimited and on-demand scalability without requiring any change in the physical IT infrastructure; perpetual access and complete protection on-site, including encryption; and file synchronization across offices, which helps distributed teams collaborate and increase overall productivity.
What makes the cloud-based storage appliance so attractive, Donehoo says, is the install-and-forget aspect of the technology. "We don't have to worry about adding hardware and systems," he says. "Everything is backed up, and the performance and security meet the levels required by a law firm." Moreover, the Nasuni storage solution works within the firm's existing document management systems.
The cloud-based approach to storage has ushered in additional gains. In the past, attorneys sometimes copied data onto external hard drives and USB devices manually, or the firm had to physically ship drives—an inherently insecure process—in order to get reams of case-relevant information onto their computers.
At times, attorneys had to submit a request to the Chicago data center and wait for someone there to process it and send back data. Today, an attorney can conduct database queries over the WAN, and offices share documents with each other in near real-time.
"Cloud-based storage has trimmed days off the review process, while allowing attorneys and others to work in a more efficient way," Donehoo reports. "We are now paying for the exact storage we need at any given moment, rather than building out excess capacity." He says this approach has resulted in a 60 percent saving over the cost of operating the SAN, and the law firm plans to expand the overall use of the cloud over the next few years.
Tata's Krishnan says that clouds frequently drive new behaviors and workflows into a business. Organizations may initially adopt a cloud to reduce costs, standardize IT or provide dynamic scaling, but, along the way, they often discover that the cloud allows them to remap business processes. Employees are able to interact and collaborate in new and more powerful ways. "It can prove transformative," he observes.
Weathering Change
Accenture's Greenway says that the distinctions between public, private and hybrid clouds are beginning to fade. "Business leaders don't care what type of cloud the organization uses," he says. "They simply want the best possible service at the best possible price. It's the folks in IT that draw the distinctions. It's essential to understand the organization's strategic goals, as well as the desired service level before defining the cloud environment and the right service provider."
One organization embracing this approach is the State of Texas. With tight funding and limited resources, a combination of private, public and hybrid clouds allows the state to obtain sophisticated IT capabilities in a less costly, more flexible and quick-to-implement manner. In turn, the state offers a more flexible approach to other agencies and organizations that rely on its services. "Users can 'pay by the drink' rather than buying more than they need," explains Karen Robinson, State of Texas CIO and executive director of the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR).
The state is relying on cloud-based software through Salesforce.com and Microsoft Office 365 to create a more "robust" application environment, Robinson says. In addition, DIR, using cloud services from Xerox, is moving to a platform-as-a-service model to manage its infrastructure—including shared hardware, virtualized servers, networks and storage. This approach delivers capacity on demand within a public cloud, while boosting security and disaster recovery. It is allowing DIR to consolidate 28 facilities into two centralized data centers.
Robinson says that the public, private, hybrid approach allows the state to maximize "flexibility for the range of use-case needs in the State of Texas computing environment." This leads to faster deployments, maximum system utilization and optimal use of tax dollars by deploying "just the right amount of service based on the requirements of the solution."
She says that Texas will continue to embrace cloud solutions in the months and years ahead. "Given the options cloud services make available to State of Texas computing customers today, there are relatively few types of systems that couldn't find a home in the cloud," Robinson concludes.
Accenture's Greenway believes that barriers to cloud adoption are now more psychological than practical. "People are concerned about where their data is going, who is looking after it and who else might be able to access it," he says, but adds that many of these fears are based more on perception than reality. "Service providers are investing heavily in security technology, including better use of encryption, and it is becoming far more difficult to hack into these systems." In many cases, Greenway adds, the level of protection is now better than within the company contracting for the cloud services.
Sky's the Limit
The rapid growth of clouds isn't likely to slow anytime soon. Tata Consultancy reports that customer-facing applications and business processes are currently the major drivers for cloud adoption, but the reasons for using clouds are growing.
The company reports that 78 percent of U.S. organizations rely on clouds to standardize applications and business processes. Other drivers include reducing IT costs (71 percent), increasing application flexibility (71 percent), improving data and trend analysis (65 percent), making faster application enhancements (65 percent) and reducing application downtime (54 percent).
At Metabolon, a Durham, N.C., company that provides diagnostics services and biochemical profiling in the medical and pharmaceutical fields, cloud computing is significantly redefining processes and workflows. The company, which crunches data for companies like Merck and Novartis, generates between 300 gigabytes and 400 gigabytes of data each week.
"The data is analyzed in real time," reports Corey DeHaven, senior director of information systems, who says that much of the computational analysis takes place at data facilities located overseas. "We are really protective about our software and data, and we require a high level of security."
As a result, Metabolon uses a cloud-hosted unified monitoring solution from Nimsoft to help manage and monitor local assets, including servers, databases, applications, environmental controls and scientific instrumentation. The same system monitors remote assets, including smaller overseas data centers with servers, applications, scientific instruments and networks. It also has turned to cloud-based email to aid in data management and governance.
The cloud has made it much easier to identify IT hotspots and reconfigure IT infrastructure on the fly, DeHaven says. This has led to improvements in performance and availability, as well as in disaster recovery and business continuity.
"It allows us to operate in a more strategic way," he adds. Another benefit: The firm requires one less full-time-equivalent IT employee (Metablon has a staff of 12). "We are still using all the software we developed in-house, but it is connecting to the cloud infrastructure in a seamless way," DeHaven explains.
Tata's Krishnan says that, in the end, cloud technology is maturing rapidly, and enterprises are maturing with it. "Business and IT leaders are now looking for reasons to move into the cloud rather than reasons why they shouldn't do so," he explains. "They are beginning to understand that the cloud can create strategic and competitive advantages. Cloud computing provides the enterprise with a way to deliver a standardized IT infrastructure in an agile, quick and cost-effective way."
Five Keys to Making Clouds Fly
1. Understand your business objectives and desired service levels.
The cloud encompasses many things and disparate capabilities. Tata Consultancy CTO Ananth Krishnan says that the starting point is to clearly define the business case for a cloud and understand how it affects the organization.
2. Create a road map and clearly defined plan.
"It's easy for cloud initiatives to pop up across an enterprise and for the organization to lose control over everything," Accenture consultant Andrew Greenway says. "It's possible to buy many services with a credit card." When that happens, he adds, "Data may wind up going places where it shouldn't go." Greenway recommends developing a plan and building a governance system to manage clouds.
3. Address high-value tactical problems first.
It's unwise to toss a mission-critical application or process into the cloud. Start with a discreet database or storage challenge, gain experience and then build on success. Consider using a public cloud, which delivers results with no formal investment.
4. Contract with a trusted provider and negotiate a sound SLA.
Not all service providers are created equal. Engage in the necessary due-diligence and hammer out an acceptable service-level agreement.
5. Focus on security.
Protection is critical--and heavily regulated industries must pay particular attention to security and compliance issues, Tata's Krishnan says. But well-designed clouds aren't necessarily riskier than internally operated systems, and, in many cases, they are actually more secure.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- An Anne Arundel County councilman who was removed from his post beginning a federal prison sentence has returned to the council.
Daryl Jones took back his seat Monday night after Peter Smith, whom the council appointed to replace Jones, stepped down.
The Capital of Annapolis reports (http://bit.ly/14cmjpb) that Smith's action came after an Anne Arundel County Circuit Court judge ruled that the ordinance that removed Jones was null and void.
Jones was convicted in 2011 of failing to file personal income tax returns. He was sentenced to five months in a federal prison in South Carolina, a term he began serving in January 2012.
The council removed him on the grounds that he wouldn't be living in his district while in prison. Jones sued to get his seat back.

|A trama healing workshop for victims of
anti-Christian violence
The lives of many Christians in Nigeria are being taken or torn apart by the ruthless campaign of the militant Islamist group Boko Haram. It is mounting attacks on various targets, including the security forces, and it has openly declared its intention of driving Christians from the North of the country, where it wants to establish an Islamic state.
The group is thought to have killed over 3,500 people since the launch of its violent campaign in 2009. The US finally designated Boko Haram and its offshoot Ansaru as Foreign Terrorist Organisations (FTOs) in November 2013 after a long campaign by Nigerian Christians, backed by Barnabas Fund.
Boko Haram has not only engaged in its own brutal acts of violence; it has also exploited existing tensions to encourage other Muslims to attack Christians. Anti-Christian atrocities are continuing on almost a daily basis, and they occur not only in the mainly Muslim North, but also in the Middle Belt, where Christians and Muslims are roughly equal in number. Incidents in 2013 have included raids on homes and villages that left dozens dead and scores of houses destroyed, the abduction of Christian girls who were then coerced into renouncing their faith, the bombing and torching of churches, and an attack on Christians at a bus station. Despite its efforts to stop the violence, the government has not succeeded in effectively containing it, or in bringing those responsible to justice.
An Islamist agenda is also being enforced by the authorities in some parts of the North. Twelve states have sharia in at least some Muslim-majority areas, and some of these interpret it strictly. Non-Muslims are subject to certain sharia practices (such as the separation of men and women in public), and some states fund sharia-enforcement groups. Christians in the North may be denied building permits for new church buildings or suffer other forms of discrimination.
Although parts of Nigeria came into contact with Christianity as early as the fifteenth century, the principal phase of mission activity began in the nineteenth century. Both Western and African-American missionaries were involved. In the colonial period the mission agencies established rural networks of education and health care, some of which still exist.

Prolific mob hit man Frank Calabrese Sr. dies in custody

Frank Calabrese Sr.
Article Extras
Updated: January 28, 2013 3:44PM
He was a mob killer so loathsome that even his own flesh and blood betrayed him in the end.
But not quite the end.
That came for Frank Calabrese Sr. on Christmas Day — the prolific Chicago hit man's favorite holiday — in a federal prison in North Carolina.
The remains of Calabrese Sr., 75, were expected to receive an external exam Thursday and possibly an autopsy, authorities said. The cause of death wasn't determined, but Calabrese had been in poor health, suffering from a host of ailments, including heart disease.
News of Calabrese's death initially left speechless a woman whose life he had destroyed.
"There is no happiness gained in his death," said Ann Wenger, the widow of one Calabrese victim, Michael Cagnoni, a trucking executive who was blown up in his car in Hinsdale in 1981.
"Nothing will fill that void in my life and for those who suffered his wrath. Eternity is a long time, and in the end, he will get what he deserves," Wenger said. "I would like to thank the courageous people who had a hand in his conviction and for giving the victims the closure we so desperately needed."
Joseph "The Shark" Lopez, Calabrese's former defense attorney, described the mobster's passing as the end of an era.
"He's the last of the Mohicans — no question about it," Lopez said.
Chicago Crime Commission Executive Vice President Art Bilek boiled Calabrese Sr. down to a "'dese-and-dems type thug" who never had the acumen to rise to the top of the Outfit.
"I would say that Frank was the last of his kind of fellow who came up the ranks the hard way: breaking people's skulls and knees and graduating to murder. . . . He was the youngest of the old-timers, all but ending that generation."
T. Markus Funk, a former federal prosecutor who helped put Calabrese Sr. away, said the mobster's "lonely death, occurring on Christmas Day so far away from the city which he and his mob cohorts once held in their grip, is a regrettable testament to a life characterized by consistent cruelty and disregard.
"Most will find it challenging to muster much regret that this isolated ending now forms the final fragment of his legacy. He will be missed. But not by many," said Funk, now in private practice at the law firm Perkins Coie.
At trial, Calabrese Sr. did not appreciate Funk's blunt closing argument.
"You're a f - - - - - - dead man," Calabrese Sr. muttered at one point.
In 2009, a federal judge found Calabrese Sr. responsible for 13 murders as part of the historic Family Secrets mob case and sentenced him to life in prison. Because of the threat, Calabrese Sr. was held under the tightest security possible, usually reserved for terrorists.
Calabrese Sr. had testified in his own defense at trial — to disastrous effect with jurors.
At his sentencing — one of the most dramatic in recent memory — U.S. District Court Judge James Zagel called Calabrese's crimes "unspeakable."
One of his sons, Kurt Calabrese, testified as a victim, noting how his father would beat him "at a moment's notice," and how he had threatened to bite off his nose. The testimony prompted a memorable exchange between father and son.
"You better apologize for the lies you told," Calabrese Sr. snapped at one point to his son.
On Wednesday, another of the hit man's sons, Frank Calabrese Jr. — who risked his life and secretly recorded his father in prison as he bragged and laughed about mob murders — said he had "a lot of emotions" running through him.
"It's very emotional right now because there were two sides to my dad, and I miss the good side," Frank Calabrese Jr. said.
Calabrese Jr. was a key witness against his father at trial, along with Calabrese Sr.'s brother, Nicholas, who committed many of the murders with Frank Sr., but later decided to cooperate with the government and become a star witness at trial.
"I believe he was taken on Christmas Day for a reason," Calabrese Jr. said. "I hope he made peace. I hope he's up above looking down on us. . . . It's always been hard for me that he had to be locked up like that. Then again, I didn't forget a lot of the things that happened."
One way or another, Calabrese Jr. said his father's memory will remain with him.
"He's either going to be haunting me or he's going to be by my side," Calabrese Jr. said.
Calabrese Sr. died on Christmas, which ironically was his favorite holiday, Lopez said.
"Christmas was his most beloved holiday," Lopez recalled.
Lopez said Calabrese Sr. was a religious man who had a charming side, a man with "many different talents."
"I don't know if heaven has a gate for him, but I know he tried to make amends with God for the last 10 to 12 years," Lopez said.
Lopez first met Calabrese Sr. about a decade ago, at the federal prison in Milan, Mich., as the Operation Family Secrets investigation was ramping up.
Calabrese asked Lopez if he believed in God, to which Lopez replied that he did. Calabrese said that was good, because they could never have a relationship if Lopez didn't.
"This was a stubborn man," Lopez said. "This was a guy who would never give up. . . . He prayed every day. He would never get depressed."
Others, though, have questioned the sincerity of Calabrese Sr.'s religious side.
In 2011, despite the tight security for Calabrese Sr. , a priest was charged with passing messages for the mobster and helping him try to find a rare violin for him that had been hidden away.
While that violin was never found, the FBI did find a stash of jewelry and cash worth more than $1 million in a secret compartment behind a family portrait in Calabrese Sr.'s Oak Brook home, after he was sentenced to prison.
Lopez predicted that as word of the hit man's death spreads: "A lot of people will be happy. A lot of people will be sad."

The ScanSnap iX500 provides PC and Mac users an effective way to greatly reduce paper clutter, storage space, and security risk associated with unmanaged paperwork at home or office. For even greater accessibility and usefulness, users can now scan wirelessly to a PC or Mac as well as iOS or Android mobile devices.

I'm happy with this scanner. The first one I ordered was inconsistent about grabbing the paper to draw through, but a simple call to O.com solved that with an easy return and replacement with the same model. This unit is great and I'm very happy with it. It's fast and has plenty of options as to how you want to save and organize the information. The only downside is the online manual. It's too involved to follow with the installed applications. I don't think it's a particularly great manual so I've been supplementing my education with youtube videos. This scanner can do a lot of wonderful things, my suggestion would be better instructions on how to best maximize the capacity of the unit. It's compact, wireless to ONE computer, and folds up nicely for easy storage when not in use. This is one purchase you should feel good about spending a little more on.
Easy install and software isn't too intrusive. I installed this for one of our older CSRs and she picked it up right away. No issues in understanding how and where to scan. Really fast too, my boss had to scan a document that was over 100 pages and it was done before he got a cup of Coffee. Had to buy one for his office too.
Let me start by saying kudos to Overstock overall!! No sales tax, free shipping and great customer service keeps me as a repeat customer. Have noticed their selection of goodies expanding recently so plan to start paying more attention to their email specials!! SHIPPED OVERNIGHT WITHOUT ASKING FOR IT - I ordered this scanner on Monday am - order status shows shipped from Ontario, CA by Monday pm and it was on my doorstep Tuesday @ 4pm (delivered by Ontrac). GOOD ONLINE ORDER HISTORY - I've made a handful of purchases since 2003 that I can go remind myself anytime I need a sanity check on how much I really spend online. Most of the items (such as the down pillows for my head) are still being enjoyed so overall i've been happy with the quality of products I've received from overstock. NOW FOR THE ACTUAL PRODUCT REVIEW..... If you've ever hunted for a receipt (for warranty) or looked at older faded receipts that are no longer readable (I usually tuck into the appliance manual), then cursed yourself for not photocopying (like me) - then for a mere $*** those days of frustration can be a thing of the past. This is a workhorse - scans single sided and double sided papers in no time. Receipts on flimsy thermal paper smushed in my handbag do not bother it. It does not have a TWAIN compliant driver so i can't scan directly to Acrobat or Quicken like i can with my $*** canon multifunction 4570. However my Canon ADF (auto doc feeder) cannot do receipts. Scanning receipts one at a time on the glass is VERY time-consuming. At $400 this is pricey however for the amount of time it has saves me has more than paid for itself many times over. I scanned a years worth of receipts and papers in an hour and took another 3 hrs to name each of the PDFs - made getting everything over to my accountant much less of a chore than prior years. FUJITSU BUNDLED SOFTWARE is FANTASTIC once you get used to it. I thought I would hate it as I am so used to scanning directly to Acrobat with the canon and then adjusting each file and naming as I go along. Talk about being in the dark ages and not knowing it!! It took about a day to get used to doing this differently and it is so much faster to batch scan and then rename afterwards. I tweaked my fujitsu scanner software for minimum size and auto detect color mode. The PDF file size (done by fuitsu) is half of what the canon can do, in color and much clearer (even with min file size). I'm sure there will be people that say storage is cheap however you have not factored in the amount of time it takes to do full backups. I say every little bit counts and have been able to get rid of 3 filing cabinets plus a wall of 3 ring binders (those have been donated to our local school). Total of 20 years worth paper baggage scanned in one weekend. We labeled each PDF with the date of the doc, short name $ amt (for receipts and invoices) plus short description if space permitted. I found that once you have a logical way to name each doc you will find that they semi sort themselves in the folder. POST SALES SERVICE I had some problems getting the wireless scanning to work from Ipad directly to scanner. Was able to get a live knowledgeable person to help troubleshoot within 5 minutes. 4.5* for no twain compliant driver but 5* for the user friendliness and quality of the scans. 5***** (to the power of 5) for Fujitsu post sales customer service. 5* overall for the hardware.
You just cant use an all in one and expect a great scanner, scansnap is excellent quick very quick, great software and doesn't Jam, its really changed my work efficiency has went from slow to instant
we love this scanner for husbands office !. its real good quality , we decided to buy since we had a scansnap older version that is still going after 8 years no problems . this thing is built quality , very convenient . comes with adobe x which is a great saving of $100 0r more. organizes all types of paper sizes you can also customize and creates a filing system to organize all that clutter . really love it oh also the size is small enough to fit anywhere
This scanner is everything you could want. It's fast, easy and compact. The only thing I would probably add to it is support for Paperport.
If you have a Apple computer you are crippled using this scanner. You can make folders and scan documents to these folders which is what I am doing. There is additional Windows software that I can only imagine is the beauty of this scanner allowing for greatly improved productivity by allowing you to scan multiple documents at once and sort them out into folders. (This is what the video shows on the Fujitsu Website). Not available with a non-windows computer.

Interview with Sandos Cancun Luxury Experience Resort Director Martina Rodriguez
Q) What makes Sandos Cancun Luxury Experience Resort unique?
A) Sandos Cancun is a boutique all-inclusive property comprised of 214 rooms and suites, presenting the perfect blend of beauty, elegance and luxury. The rooms have views of the beautiful Nichupté Lagoon to the west side, where you can watch the sunset. Our property is unique because it is set in an east-to-west orientation, so most rooms also have stunning views of the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The size of the hotel provides tranquility, intimacy, and personalized service at the restaurants and bars. What makes us unique is our staff members, who have all been trained to offer the highest level of service in a private, relaxing, and intimate atmosphere.
Q) Can you explain what makes the location/destination around your property interesting to travelers?
A) Sandos Cancun is strategically located on one of the most beautiful beaches of Cancun, just 15 minutes from the Cancun International Airport and a short distance from Cancun's cultural attractions, shopping areas (Luxury Avenue, La Isla Mall and Kukulcan Mall), nightlife, and a number of world-class golf courses.
Q) Is there a "must‐try" dish or drink that guests should experience?
A) If you come to Sandos Cancun you must try the lobster at the Martini Jazz Night by the St. Trop restaurant and pool area. You can also enjoy the expertly prepared cocktails at Bar One in our main lobby. Our guests give us excellent feedback about the chocolate martini at Bar One and the Mayan coffee at Zango Bar.
Q) What are the three things about your property that guests may not know?
A) 1 - We have Luxury Moments events programmed throughout the week. For example, we have cooking classes in the pool area or offer a pampering spa treatment. A different Luxury Moment takes place each day.
2 - We host a Champagne Party each Friday in the penthouse of the hotel.
3 - Our hotel has beautiful locations for weddings, but in order to best serve our guests and offer them special attention we only host one wedding per day.
Q) Can you take me through an average day at your resort?
A) Start the day with a luxury awakening, receiving the first rays of sun with yoga at the beach area. Next, you can enjoy a unique breakfast at the Zango buffet where you'll be delighted with variety of dishes, fresh fruit of the day cooled on dry ice, and more. We are a small hotel, and we have an open kitchen, so our guests have the opportunity to approach our Chef and request a custom-cooked omelet.
Our guests can stop by the pool area, where they can relax and enjoy the sun, our three infinity pools, and beach cabanas with a stunning view of the turquoise waters and beachfront. Guests can mingle with the entertainment staff that encourages them to participate in the daily activities such as stretching, beach volleyball, and tennis tournaments. Our entertainment schedule includes our Luxury Moments of the day, ranging from cooking and cocktail classes to pampering in the spa.
Guests can enjoy lunch at the St. Trop restaurant by the pool area, which offers dishes such as salads, ceviche, and pizza. A guest favorite is the pizza that is prepared in a brick oven by the pool with an exquisite smoked flavor. Our outstanding staff will provide variety of cocktails. The insignia cocktail at St. Trop is the Blue Sandos, which is prepared with Curacao and vodka.
After a relaxing day at the pool and beach area, guests can enjoy a cocktail at Bar One before dinner. Friday at 9:00pm guests can enjoy the Champagne Party at the hotel penthouse, where they can meet all the directors and managers of the hotel. This party is unique with live music, gourmet snacks, champagne and special surprises.
For dinner, guests can stop by any of our four a la carte restaurants: Seasons Restaurant for gourmet food with molecular touches, Zango Restaurant for international flavors of the world, Gaijin Restaurant for our Teppanyaki cooking show, and St. Trop, which offers a Caribbean menu. After a nice dinner they can stop by Bar One and enjoy our night entertainment such as Casino Night, karaoke, games and more, depending on the day of the week.
Q) Have you had any notable guests - celebrities, etc.?
A) We have received Mexican celebrities such as singers Reyli and Ana Barbara, journalist Oscar Cadena, Colombian actor Daniel Arenas, and Argentinean soccer player , Diego Novareti.
Q) What makes your property truly luxurious?
A) Sandos Cancun is a small luxury hotel with sophisticated decoration and a Total Gourmet Experience. All of our restaurants for lunch and dinner are a la carte. Each restaurant offers a different specialty, and our Bar One offer premium brands of national and international liquors.
Many of our activities are focused on gourmet dining, so we offer unique activities such as culinary classes, wine and tequila tasting, and Luxury Moments during the day. We have a world-class spa with 13 rooms for treatments. We are the only hotel in the Cancun area that offers the chromotherapy treatment, "Nausicaa".
Of course, in the end, what creates the luxury experience is the personalized services of our staff. They will anticipate our guests' needs, always offer the highest standard, and do so with a smile.
Q) What advice do you have for guests who are staying at your Resort?
A) Relax and let us pamper you. Live the Luxury Experience of Sandos Cancun.
Q) What is the best time to travel to Sandos Cancun Luxury Experience Resort?
A) The best time depends on the seasons of the year. November, December and January are ideal for holidays, as Cancun has perfect weather. If guests are looking for a nice summer vacation, June, July and August are perfect to suntan and enjoy activities at the ocean such as snorkeling, kayaking, and fishing (all non-motorized water sports are included).

The local Relay For Life honestly has the best intentions at heart for fundraising for a cure. Almost all of the money raised stays in the area for programs and research here. With my own family so impacted by cancer, helping to find a cure is one of my top goals, but not at the cost of my Catholic values. If I can find a way to make it work without sacrificing my morals, I will do so.
A - Thanks for the question. This is a difficult subject for many people that can raise the tempers of many. I, like most of us, have been changed by cancer. My sister died last month after battling cancer for five years. It has taken the lives of my grandfather, uncle, and many others as well. Dying from cancer can mean horrible pain, disability, and more. I want to see a cure as well. But, like you, I don't want to have a cure if it means we do it immorally.
There is definitely a problem with the connection between the ACS and Planned Parenthood. So, what are you morally obligated to do? I hope I can offer a few thoughts to guide you.
We can never directly support intrinsically evil actions. Abortion, same-sex marriage, cloning, fetal stem cell research, euthanasia are some of the actions a Catholic cannot support morally. Yet, there are times it seems we get "tangled up" in these issues despite our best efforts, and end up supporting them indirectly. This is where the principle of material vs. formal cooperation with evil comes in handy. No matter how hard you might try, there are situations were good an evil are mixed up and sometimes we get caught being complicit in an evil act.
When we "cooperate" in an evil act our cooperation can be either be:
- material - without the intention of supporting an evil act - wrong by the circumstance, not intent
- may be permitted, with a gravely proportional reason as judged by the principle of double-effect (see below).
- formal - with the intention to support or commit an evil act - wrong by intent and circumstance
- never permitted.
If the evil act is not intended by someone and the person is sufficiently remote from the act, then they are not complicit with it. This is called remote material cooperation. Things that might cause an act to be remote instead of material include (not in order and an incomplete list):
- Time between the complicit act(s) - in some cases, time between events can cause distance. But, time is not a cure-all. For instance, using research gained from the Nazi death camps is still immoral.
- Steps separating the complicit act(s) - For instance. If you buy a piece of clothing that was originally made in a child-labor sweatshop from another part of the world, then you are many steps from the original evil (sweatshops using child labor). If we intended to buy it because we support sweatshops, then we would be complicit.
- On-going or one-time (or completed) complicit act(s) - The US supporting slavery is an example. We no longer allow it, but how are we now responsible as a people for once doing so? On the other hand, the sex-trade is still an on-going problem. We cannot participate in such evil.
- Severity of the complicit act(s) - For instance, abortion. The act is an indescribably evil in and of itself. We cannot cooperate in acts that formally support such evil. On the other hand, there are lesser evils where it is not quite as clear.
- Nature and Immediacy of the Goods - The most common example is a custodian at a hospital that performs abortions. As long as the person does not formally cooperate in them and disapproves of them, he is not complicit in them - if he is dependent on the job for his livelihood. If he is able to get a job elsewhere, then his cooperation could be formal and not material.
With the case for Relay for Life, it would certainly be better to fight against cancer by supporting organizations that do not have such problems. Unfortunately, there are other organizations who give much more to Planned Parenthood, including the Susan G. Komen Foundation. So, how do you settle the issue? You sort through it all using the Principle of Double Effect (PDE). It is a moral framework that gives us a Catholic understanding of which acts are moral and which are not, when things aren't very clear. Through the PDE, the act must pass four criteria:
- The moral object must be good or neutral, not intrinsically evil.
- The evil result is tolerated, not intended; the good effect is what the agent intends. Then, the evil effect comes indirectly from the act, while the good effect comes directly from it.
- The good effect doesn't occur as a result of the evil effect, in other words, you can't do evil to get good. Therefore, the evil effect is not intended directly as a means toward the good effect.
- There must be a proportionate reason for doing the act. This implies that there can also not be any other alternatives.
In your particular case, it is left up to your prudential judgment as to your course of action. So, you should follow your conscience after prayerfully discerning what God wants you to do. But, if I were applying this to my own life, here is what I would find:
- The good is trying to find an end to cancer - pass.
- I don't intend to support PP - pass.
- I would not be doing evil to get to the good act - pass.
- There are other option - fail.
I hope this helps.

UNITED STATES -- The former Fort Drum soldier charged with giving thousands of classified documents to the website WikiLeaks is expected to testify this week. The pre-trial hearing for Private First Class Bradley Manning began Tuesday on Fort Meade in Maryland. His lawyers want all charges dropped because they claim Manning was illegally punished by being locked up alone in a small cell for nearly nine months and having to sleep naked on several occasions.
The military says his treatment at the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Virginia was appropriate because he's a risk to injure himself or others.
Manning faces life in prison if convicted.
The hearing is expected to run through Sunday.

The City of Round Rock held a groundbreaking ceremony on an indoor sports facility Tuesday, Nov. 27.
The $14.5 million, 81,500 square foot facility, 2400 Chisholm Trail, will be large enough for six basketball courts or 12 volleyball courts and will provide new marketing opportunities for the City's Sports Capitol of Texas tourism program. Last year, the tourism program generated $9.4 million in economic activity in Round Rock.
The indoor facility, which will open in December 2013, will be able to host events such as:
Mayor Alan McGraw, City Manager Steve Norwood and Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Nancy Yawn spoke at the ceremony.
Round Rock voters approved an additional 2 percent to the City's Hotel Occupancy Tax in a November 2011 election to pay for the facility.
Marmon Mok is designing the facility; Chasco is the contractor.

OwnZone determination gives you individual and safe training intensity zones during the warm-up period (from 1 to 5 minutes) of an exercise session. OwnZone suits the needs of healthy people who exercise for either health or fitness.
Heart rate varies from heartbeat (R) to heartbeat (R). OwnZone determination is based on this heart rate variability (HRV), the variation in times between successive heartbeats.
HRV of a healthy heart is generally large in resting conditions and during light exercise and decreases as the heart rate and exercise intensity increase. HRV almost disappears when exercise intensity is approximately 65% of maximum heart rate (HRmax). The training computer uses this specific point to define your OwnZone intensity zones.
There is normal daily variation in the HRV, and stress, illness, unusual heavy exercise etc. influence it. In addition, the sport you choose has an influence on OwnZone as well.
We recommend that OwnZone is determined before every exercise session or at least
- when changing training environment or sport
- when training for the first time after a week's break
- if you have not recovered from the previous training
- if you are not feeling well or are stressed
- after changing user information of your training computer.
If you have activated the Polar STAR Training Program and you actively use the OwnZone determination, your training computer takes into account your long-term OwnZone results when updating the program target.
Even though OwnZone detects the best intensity zones for you, in some cases you may want to manually set the intensity zones manually rather than use the OwnZone determination.
- When you are in a medically supervised cardiac rehabilitation program and have had your heart rate limits prescribed to you by a doctor or physical therapist.
- When you are participating in a guided exercise program under the supervision of a personal trainer or coach and have had your heart rate limits determined.

I AM THE WEST (part 2)
I knew, as soon as I named my record, I AM THE WEST… Suckas would come out the wood work and have something to say about it. First of all, it's true. I am the west. I have a few O/G's in hip-hop that I show respect to for help starting the West Coast movement. Like Ice-T, Dr. Dre, King Tee, DJ Pooh, DJ Quik, Too Short, MC Eiht and everybody from NWA of course. But the rest of these MC's out here are some how some way just branches on the NWA tree. So basically, if you didn't have a record out before 1986…you probably can't tell me shit.
Anyway, back to the business at hand. The first single off the record is called, "I Rep That West". It's a fuckin' banger. This one might be too West Coast for the West Coast. It's getting mastered as we speak. You'll be able to hear it and buy it first right here on icecube.com. We shoot the video on the 17th. I would give you guys the concept but I'mma save that and let you see it for yourself. Now I know it seems like my record is West Coast crazy…yeah it is. But I got a lot of real shit to say on this record just like I always do. So my political fans won't be disappointed. But sometime the Big Dog gotta piss on a few trees to let these puppies know what it is. They can't fuck wit me lyrically or physically. They all talks shit from a distance cause they know, I may do comedies but I ain't no joke.
I wanna take time and thank all the Westsider Riders who've been hitting me up with love in your messages. You fuel my fire and desire to never retire. I look forward to hearing from everybody who's truly down. It's been a few days since my last blog. A lot of things have been going down. I skipped both of those movie premieres. I can't deal with this Hollywood shit sometimes…too fake. But my daughter's sweet 16 party was dope. Crazy Toones took them youngsters back to the 80's. She loved it. I had to coach my son's basketball team's playoff game. His coach had to go out of town. It's hard to get 9 year olds to understand the triangle offense. So the outcome was not a W. My son had a good game so I was proud of him anyway. I went to the Lakers vs. Nuggets. Ron Artest finally earned his money by shutting down Carmelo. Even though the Nuggets had help from the refs. They still got their asses kicked. Kobe is the real King not LeBron.
Today, I flew to Oakland to interview Al Davis for my 30 for 30 ESPN documentary. It was a very good interview. He's a G. One on one with the hardest owner in sports. I respect Al, he does it his way. At some point, I will post my whole interview with him on my site.
As you know I'm starting to use my twitter account. Don't look to hear from me until I got something interesting to say. Updates about what's going on with the music or the movies. Too much chatter is nerve racking. Now, I wanna answer a few questions you have for ya' boy…
Beats by Dre? Not yet. Haven't asked him, but I will.
Any collabos? Not yet. It's only room for one star on this record. But I might make room. It has to be organic. I don't do collabos just to do them. That's record company shit.
New Westside Connection? Nothing planned. But just for the record. I own the rights. I put Mack-10 in the Connect gang, he didn't put me in. That's my shit.
Is Eazy's wife dropping 60 unreleased songs from him? I don't know. I'll ask around.
Mid-West tour? Working on a promotional tour that'll take me to the Mid-West.
Mixtape? I'm working on a mixtape with Crazy Toones for my sons OMG & Doughboy. They spit fire. Look for them on the home page of the site in a few days.
I'll never be on Cribs.
Haven't talked to Threat in 14 years. Don't know where he's at.
No beats by Terrence Martin on this record.
I heard Jerry Heller was teaching classes at USC & UCLA. He knows nothing about hip-hop.
Any advice to young actors? Make friends with a good casting agent. They'll get you work.
Shot outs to: Dublin, Hawaii, Cleveland, Ottawa, Poland and Germany
P.S. Keep West Ridin' and bumpin' that gangsta ish. Oh yeah, I can help anyone with advice on anything, but don't ask for money. It's not happening.
Keep the poems and advice coming. We fam…
Keep it gangsta!
I AM THE WEST… it's coming.

Williams again lacked pace at the Bahrain circuit, finishing ahead of only Caterham and Marussia in Friday's practice...
Pastor Maldonado: "We completed our planned programme today. We tested some development parts this morning and then we were back to working on set-up for the weekend this afternoon. Our short run pace isn't as strong, but on higher fuel and used tyres the car felt better. This is what we were expecting today, and so we'll continue to push hard tomorrow."
Valtteri Bottas: "It wasn't a bad day for us. We gathered some valuable data in FP1 to help us to evaluate which direction to continue with the development of the FW35. In FP2 we completed some longer runs on the medium tyre, and now we will go through the data to see where we can improve as the tyre wear is big here, especially on the rears."
Charles Pic: "We've made some progress today and I think we can be quite pleased with the job we've done in both FP1 and FP2. In the morning session we ran the car in the same configuration we raced in China and ran through a pretty normal FP1 program, using just the hard tyres and working on the baseline setup. In FP2 we ran a couple of new parts at the back of the car and saw more rear grip which is positive. We did find that meant there was quite a bit of understeer that we'll need to work on for quali, but the performance run time was a good sign of where we are heading, so overall today has been ok."
Giedo van der Garde: "After sitting out the morning session I went straight back to work in FP2 and ran through a normal Friday afternoon program that included work on both tyre compounds on short and long runs. The tyre deg here was pretty big, especially on the mediums, but they're coming up to temperature well and that suggests that if we can manage the deg levels this track might suit us better than the last race in China."
Max Chilton: "I'm pleased that I was able to complete plenty of running in both sessions today. This is especially important given the tough conditions we are facing, which are obviously impacting quite a lot on the way the car is behaving here. The heat is making it difficult to find good grip. We've tried a few things and gathered plenty of data, all of which will need some careful thought overnight, but I'm sure we can reach some conclusions which will improve things for tomorrow."
Jules Bianchi: "It was not an easy task getting up to speed this afternoon. Having watched and listened to the challenges Max and Rodolfo were experiencing this morning, it was clear that FP2 would not be straightforward for me either. The heat is playing a big part in the way the car has been performing but I think, for my part, we were limited by the time to improve on these issues in the space of an afternoon. Given this, I am not so unhappy with my time as I was making progress and I am sure that, overnight, we will find a good solution for tomorrow."
