Does Your Research Project Require IRB Review?
In order to determine whether an activity is research that requires review by the IRB the following questions should be answered: |
A. Does the research meet the federal definition for involvement of human subjects? |
B. Does the research meets the Federal Definition for "research"? |
Ifthe answer to any of the questions posed in A is "Yes" and either of the questions in B is "Yes", the projects is subject to review by the IRB and the investigator must submit
the project on either a Protocol Application or Claim of Exempt Application as determined
by the level of risk. |
Instructional Projects |
A project may be considered "instructional" and not require IRB review if it satisfies
the criterion listed below:
Ifthe answer is 'Yes', the project does not meet the definition of human subjects research and does not require review by the IRB. |
All qualifying research projects involving human subjects not falling in the "instructional" category must be reviewed by the IRB Chair, Chair Designee or the full IRB in order to comply with federal regulations and University policies concerning the use of human subjects in research. An investigator should allow sufficient lead time for the review of any project submitted to the IRB as the committee meets on a monthly basis. Categories for review by the IRB are: full Convened, Expedited and Exempt. Following submission of the protocol application, projects will be pre-reviewed and assigned to either the convened or expedited category. Expedited applications will not require the review of the entire committee but will be evaluated in detail by the Chair or Chair Designee to determine compliance with human subject research guidelines, 45 CFR 46 and the University's Federalwide Assurance. Exempt applications will also be reviewed in the same manner. Convened items will be reviewed by the entire board at the monthly meeting. Please see IRB Meeting Schedules & Member Information for submission dates. |

Spiral Notebook: You've been framed
Giles Broadbent considers a radical, punitive imposition on errant MPs
I make no apology for returning to the subject of MPs' expenses. I make no apology because it is fully within the rules as laid down in the Columnist's Green Book and it is the system that stinks, not I. Reform cannot come soon enough.
In pursuit of redress, and never one to decline the fruits of another man's labours, my thoughts turned to the Window Tax of 1696. We should reintroduce this much-maligned imposition forthwith.
The new Window Tax 2009 would stipulate that MPs must pay the price of all broken windows in any chamber, constituency residence, tavern or town hall even if they are not directly to blame for being flung through them in the first place.
(Incidentally, the Window Tax was not repealed until 1851 when it was replaced by the "House Duty", a form of words that whooshes straight over the heads of our elected embezzlers like a hungry wig hawk scouting for supper.)
In the doldrums
• I fear for the future. In years to come, all ambition will be spent. Look at the milestones passed in recent months - the first Speaker ousted since 1695; the deepest recession in a century; the first Lords kicked out of Parliament since Oliver Cromwell; the biggest constitutional crisis since the MP for Berwick on Tweed in 1745 knotted his brow with a reef rather than the more traditional Gordian knot.
What will we pitch for when all is said and done and stolen and claimed for and reimbursed and repaid in sorrow?
In 10 years' time - new government, settled house prices, recession ended - we'll be as dull and lifeless as the barnet of a slumdog crack addict.
We'll turn our faces to the skies in the hope that climate change will bring us, say, the worst hurricane, the biggest snowfall, the loss of Norfolk. Anything to lift us from our middle-ranking, unremarkable malaise of historical mediocrity.
I still thrill to the sound of a newsreader concluding her statistical analysis with "...since records began".
Dear Diary, I was there when that terrible thing happened. I witnessed history.
Come 2019 we'll be edging through Canary Wharf on Crossrail and the holographic figure of a stately Emily Maitless will echo from the depths of our iLatte™ "...and those are the worst figures..." and we'll perk up before she continues... "since the Great Superlatives Flood of 2009" and we'll sit back and sigh.
We're standing on the shoulders of pygmies, we'll think, secretly yearning for the return of City excesses, free fluffy dusters and a bent peer or two.

We shall never run out of superatives or excesses while we have journalists. Over a lifetime of non-excess I have constantly wondered [can you constantly wonder?] at the ability of journalists to glean shock, horror and probe stories out of the most barren of fields. Long may you exceed.

You may worry that having too much liability insurance could make you a target for lawsuits if attorneys see your extensive coverage and sue to win large judgments for clients.
However, insurance professionals say most such concerns are unfounded.
While it is unwise to discuss your level of coverage openly, it's rare to be sued simply because you have a large insurance policy, says David Snyder, vice president and associate general counsel for the American Insurance Association.
Typically it is your personal worth – not your level of insurance protection – that is most likely to make you the target of a liability claim.
"If you have someone with a six-figure income, they are going to be a greater target than someone who is not making as much," says Ron Assise, president of Horton Personal Insurance in Orland Park, Ill.
It is easy for attorneys to discover how much wealth and insurance coverage you have once a suit is filed against you, Assise says. However, your insurance coverage should have no bearing on court judgments.
"Juries are instructed that the amount of coverage should have no impact on the amount of the settlement," he says.
Skimping on liability coverage because you fear a lawsuit can lead to other problems.
Liability insurance does more than pay for judgments against you, Snyder says. It also may provide money for your legal defense.
Lawsuits can be very expensive. Even if a case has no merit or is based on fraudulent claims, it still can wind up costing you tens of thousands of dollars.
It can be difficult to place a dollar figure on the amount of liability insurance you should carry, Assise says.
"The more assets, the more income you have, the more you have to lose," he says.
It's important to have adequate limits on your auto insurance and home insurance policies, he says. To get an extra layer of protection, many consumers use "umbrella" policies. Umbrella insurance is liability coverage that protects assets and future income beyond the standard limitations of primary policies.
Like life insurance and disability insurance, umbrella coverage protects you and dependents against unforeseen circumstances. Umbrella policies usually are sold in increments of $1 million.
When a primary insurance policy hits its limit, the personal umbrella insurance policy takes effect. Premiums typically are between $200 and $300 each year for a $1 million level of coverage.
How much insurance should you buy in total?
"If we had a crystal ball and saw how much you would be sued for, we would say [purchase] that amount," Assise says. "We have to go with what someone is comfortable with, what they can sleep at night with, based on how much they have and how much they earn."
If you fear being sued, there are practical steps you can take to reduce your risk of ending up in court.
For starters, begin managing your risk by reducing the potential for accidents on your property, Snyder says. Swimming pools and trampolines should be kept behind locked gates so no one can use them without your consent.
If you own a dog, make sure it is under your control at all times. Assise says many consumers underestimate the risk of owning a dog.
"Your dog can injure someone dramatically," he says. "That is why insurance companies are interested in what breed you have and if there has been any aggression."
When driving, remember not to speed or engage in other behaviors (such as chatting on your cell phone or drinking and driving) that can lead to accidents.
When deciding how much personal liability insurance you need, consider how much wealth would be at risk if you were sued. Weigh the value of your home, your possessions and all of your financial assets.
Just don't let the fear of being sued prevent you from purchasing the levels of liability insurance you need.
"A lawsuit can wreck years upon years of planning," Snyder says. "It is almost like an unexpected illness or injury. Exposure without liability insurance protection is something you can prevent."

Tuesday, July 19
Sun Life Stadium
Attendance: 17,101
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Tim Stauffer tossed six scoreless innings and the Padres bullpen was effective in a 4-0 victory over the Florida Marlins in the opener of a three-game series at Sun Life Stadium.
Stauffer (6-6) yielded only four hits while fanning four and walking two.
Chad Qualls, Mike Adams, Luke Gregerson and Heath Bell combined to seal the six-hitter for the Padres, who snapped their five-game road losing streak.
Bell recorded the final out to earn his 27th save of the season.
Ryan Ludwick collected a pair of hits, including an RBI double, while Cameron Maybin added an RBI single and two stolen bases in his first game against his former team.
Anibal Sanchez (6-3) went six innings, giving up two runs on seven hits while striking out seven and walking two.
Emilio Bonifacio had an infield single in the fifth to extend his hitting streak to 18 games, the longest active streak in the majors. Gaby Sanchez added two hits for the Marlins, who had their three-game winning streak snapped.
San Diego opened the scoring in its first at-bat. With two down, Maybin cued a ball out in front of the plate and beat the throw to first by Marlins catcher John Buck for an infield single. Maybin then stole second and scored on an RBI ground-rule double by Ludwick. Orlando Hudson followed with a double of his own to score Ludwick and give the Padres a 2-0 lead.
The Marlins threatened in the third, when Anibal Sanchez and Bonifacio worked one-out walks. Stauffer battled back, though, retiring Omar Infante on a liner to center and fanning Logan Morrison.
Florida put a runner in scoring position again in the fourth, when Gaby Sanchez singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch, but Mike Cameron fouled out to right to end the inning.
San Diego scratched across a third run in the seventh. Pinch-hitter Logan Forsythe singled to center, advanced to second on a fielder's choice and scored on a throwing error by Marlins reliever Steve Cishek, giving San Diego a 3-0 advantage.
Maybin's RBI single came in the ninth.
Gaby Sanchez singled and Cameron worked a walk with two down in the bottom of the frame against Gregerson. Bell was summoned from the San Diego bullpen and got Buck to fly out to right to end the game.
"You have to give them credit, they held our bats down," Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. "We had a couple opportunities there but couldn't cash in."

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and have been recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
I have a history of disordered eating that I've worked really hard to treat by being active in the size acceptance movement and practicing Health at Every Size and intuitive eating. For about 5 years my relationship with food/exercise has been pretty solid (though not perfect--I have struggled my whole life with not eating enough/not missing meals).
The really, really tough thing for me with this new diagnosis is that I'm a fat person (the only time I was less fat was when I was anorexic), so doctors make a lot of assumptions about my lifestyle based on how I look (even though I have a critical aggregate of family members with both type 1 and 2 on both sides of my family, grandparents and parents).
Now that I've been diagnosed I find my relationship with food is becoming adversarial in a way it hasn't been in years. I feel really stressed out about eating. So much of the language around diabetes is really, well diet-y sounding. It's all framed very restrictively--what you can't have, versus is optimal, and it seems like people are constantly comparing their numbers etc. So many of the forums I looked at before landing here are all about carb counting, weight loss focus, limitations, restrictions--all things that are super triggering to the starvation/cutback impulses in me that I worked so hard to overcome.
Does anyone here have success with managing diabetes in a way that incorporates intuitive eating and is weight neutral? Does anyone have advice for approaching doctors/dieticians with Health At Every Size ethos?
Tags: HAES, diabetes, dieting, fat, not
I find working with a good nurse practitioner much more helpful than with a doctor. Many doctors really don't want to deal with behaviors/underlying issues and tend to look at numbers and assume things (in my opinion and experience). I know it is hard to find a good practitioner and I know it is a pain to go and see someone who isn't the right fit, and then to go try someone else. It is really hard to get over seeing a bad health professional.
I guess I'm not really answering your question, but I am sympathetic. I would like to learn more about intuitive eating. I have heard of the book. Are you involved in group/do you go to conferences? I have a hard time allowing myself to eat normal foods when I am "being good." (to put it in my minds's unhealthy terms)
Hi there, I can relate to this as a former anorexic, it is just so difficult to keep eating, it always feel totally counterintuitive to me to eat but actually what I have found is that now I'm not a kid anymore, if I start restricting my food intake I do actually put ON weight, I have to constantly fight with my ED that wants to reward me for not eating and to see how long I can go without food, but I genuinely believe that the more I do that the less likely I am to lose weight (and I do need to I am a little overweight, not much but enough to p*** me off) I think that for me I just give myself a mental slap everytime I get the ED voices because i know now that if that way actually worked for me then I wouldn't have ended up in the situation I was in
Id love to invite you to visit my website I founded: www.wearediabetes.org take a look at some of the articles posted there as well as the forum. Id highly recommend that you read anything by Geneen Roth who discusses the relationship between food and emotions. Also you can find my email address listed on the "about us" page of We Are Diabetes and you are more than welcome to email me anytime with questions or if you need some support :)
Dear falcor,
in the past I had very strict ideas about what I am allowed and what I am forbidden to eat. This was because I got diabetes as a child and doctors tried to cut clear boundaries between the foods I should choose.As a result I felt very anxious about sweets. They were my most favourite food before I became diabetic. I started stopping myslef from eating them, but then at times especially when alone, I would break that boundary and try one or two and then I would just binge on them, because some part of me felt I am weak at this point and wanted to take an advantage. So ye, in my case strict control actually contributed to big anxiety and situations out of control.
What I do now is I allow myself to TRY any food in the world I feel I want. Whenever there are sweets around I know I can have a little bit if I feel I want it (i.e. 20 grams chocolate/ 2 bites from a cake...etc). It just means I take 2-3 units insulin more. This helps me feel relaxed about food and have less cravings.
What I should point out here is that the majority of my food is still diabetic-friendly, I just let myself have little bits of everything I feel I want.

Making the world a greener place has become one of the global priorities of the past few years, which places a new premium on environmental engineering. Obtaining a degree as an environmental engineer will therefore allow you to enter the fray of one of the most talked about fields in the world right now. You'll be on the front lines in terms of making an impact with our environment and bettering the world for ourselves and future generations, while studying the past and planning for the future.
Environmental engineers should have a background in the sciences, including biology and chemistry, as well as natural sciences such as geology. You'll need to be able to see how things like toxic pollutants affect its surroundings, as well as plant life, animals and humans. A background in mathematics can also be valuable, because of the need for statistical analysis and comparisons, and being able to research topics in detail will also be important.
Online Environmental Engineering Degrees
There are many online environmental engineering degree options today. You'll be able to complete all of your studying from home, while learning on your own time, which is hugely beneficial. You'll also be able to move rapidly through your program while utilizing an accelerated schedule, which enables you to finish your studies in about half the time it would otherwise take.
What Type of Job can you get with an Environmental Engineering Degree
While the entire broad field of engineering is growing at a quicker than average pace, the quickest growth of all is seen in environmental engineering. By 2018, there's an expected 31% increase in the amount of environmental engineers in the field, which is massive. That means that right now is the perfect time to join this exciting and quickly growing field, and you'll find an amazing array of job and career opportunities.
There are many potential career choices and employers for educated individuals coming out of school with a degree in environmental engineering. Many of the top employers come from the government, including all levels – federal, state and local. Serving as a consultant to companies and corporations, working at nonprofit agencies, working with construction and architectural firms and more are all common destinations.
Environmental engineers earn about $74,000 annually in terms of median salary for professionals in the field. With the great demand for highly skilled individuals in the job market for this field, that's expected to rise rapidly over the coming years as well. Individuals with masters or doctoral degrees in this field have even greater salary potential, and PhD's often end up dealing with the scientific research and analysis end of the field.
There are few fields of any kind that could boast job growth of over 30% for the decade, and environmental engineering is therefore the place to be. If you have an interest in the sciences, want to make a difference in terms of helping the planet, its people and the environment, and are eager to get involved with a wide range of potential career opportunities, then environmental engineering is for you.
What Does An Environmental Engineer Do Exactly?
Engineers are geared at how things work in any aspect of today be it small equipment to the huge structures of the world today. From different technologies up to the present digital technologies are the workings where engineers can be found. They are simply the one responsible for the intricacies of how something is able to be made and run smoothly and in times of damage, resolve or repair it to be in good running condition again or find better ways to replace it.
So an environmental engineer is someone who is tasked to address the different environmental concerns. Among of the problems that they tackle are air and water pollution, waste disposal, forestation, recycling and health issues. It is through their acquired education and experience that they are able to come up with solutions with the use of chemistry, biology and environmental science to protect both human and nature. They may be asked to conduct inspection and evaluation of different industries to assess on the compliance of the environmental laws and regulations.
Environmental engineers are also responsible to handle serious environmental issues including global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, and auto emissions among many other issues that involve the environment. They conduct studies on hazardous waste management and do consultations on the environmental effects of numerous construction projects. This means that they are seen to work with other professionals such as planners, engineers, environmental scientists, hazardous waste technicians and other scientist and specialists to come up with solutions for the betterment of the environment.
With all these gathered information from their observation, research and study, the environmental engineers can then prepare, update, revise the environmental programs, regulations and recommendations that they have formulated or made. Through these programs they can monitor the results and check if the targeted goals are achieved or there is improvement on the overall environmental health. They also conduct seminars to be able to reach out to all people on how to properly take care of the environment even in their little ways. It is realized if everyone knows what to do and are together in doing these will be able to protect the human race and the environment as well.
The work of the environmental engineer is a serious one especially in these times of unpredictable weather due to global warming. These engineers work double time in order to at least slow the progress of global warming if not totally reverse it. However, concerning environment it is encouraged that everyone pitch in to achieve the goal of environmental preservation.

Tips for finding a female friendly cycling club
Joining a cycling club is a great way to meet other cyclists and to step up from being a 'Sunday' recreational cyclist to that next level. Traditionally they have been primarily focused on racing rather than just riding but they are beginning to reinvent themselves as the popularity of cycling grows to accommodate riders who don't necessarily want to race, and to welcome women who have not always been attracted to clubs.
When you join a cycling club in Australia you are actually signing up as a member of Cycling Australia which gives you a number of other benefits including public liability and personal accident insurance. On the Cycling Australia website under membership you can search cycling clubs in your area within a 5 km, 10 km, 25 km or 100 km radius, giving you a good shortlist depending on how far afield you are willing to go.
Once you have a shortlist you need to decide what your priorities are to find out what each club can offer you. You could consider criteria like location, whether skills training is offered, what training rides are available, the number of female members and the support given to female riders, racing opportunities for women, and of course what social activities are included.

In the spirit of the 'Hats' awarded to great restaurants by The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guides, we're awarding Mice to the better online restaurant guides.
www.eatability.com.au About Eatability "It's great hearing from critics but Eatability gives you the inside information from everyday patrons." Covers Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra, as well as regional centres in the corresponding states. Search by Name, suburb, area, cuisine, venue (café, bar), atmosphere, special diet, special features. Who provides information Restaurants can list free, and provide as much information as they wish. Reviewers are members of the public.
What we like about it
Room for improvement This site will get even better when reviews for restaurants in recently added cities start coming in.
www.miettas.com.au About Mietta's "It gives reasons to visit [restaurants] — not reasons to stay away." Covers All capitals and also regional areas, with over 7000 venues on its books. Search by Name, suburb, area, state, cuisine, price, size, Mietta's awards for food, wine and ambience, and features such as child-friendly or outside seating. Who provides information As well as its own reviews written by industry professionals, it adds reviews from reputable sources such as the Good Food Guide, Gourmet Traveller and major newspapers. There's no input from the dining public. What we like about it
Room for improvement Sometimes restaurants deserve a harsh word or two. Also, some of the reviews are a few years old, making them a little out of date.
www.yourrestaurants.com.au About yourRestaurants As well as a restaurant guide, it aims to help you organise your dining out life with facilities to put restaurants on your personal "favourites" and "wish list" lists. Covers All of Australia, including regional centres. Search by State, area, suburb, cuisine, opening days/hours, various features (including BYO, licensed, vegetarian options, wheelchair access, water views). Who provides the information Restaurants provide the basic information. As well as diner reviews from members of the public, there are general reviews provided by freelance writers (who aren't necessarily career restaurant critics). What we like about it
Room for improvement It doesn't have as many diner reviews as Eatability, especially in NSW, Queensland and Victoria, where Eatability is strongest. On the other hand, it's better than Eatability for information on the ACT, NT, SA, Tasmania and WA. More reviews would make this site great.
www.bestrestaurants.com.au About Best Restaurants It claims to be the first national web-based restaurant guide, starting in 1996. You probably won't find your local pizza joint on this site — as its name suggests, it's strongest on the mid to high-end restaurants, though it does cover café-style places with good-quality food. Covers All of Australia, including regional centres. Search by Suburb or area, price range, cuisine. The advanced search lets you select for places that are "accessible by seaplane", "in a winery" or "suitable for hens' nights" (though not bucks' nights, interestingly) and other such dining nuances. Information provided by Reviews are provided by staff writers. Diners are invited to give their reviews (which the site edits for clarity and to avoid defamatory comments) but this appears to be rarely taken up. What we like about it
Room for improvement More than one review would be good, especially since the review can be a few years old. Also, the date of reviews isn't always noted .
www.eatingwa.com.au About EatingWA The creators' idea was to provide a restaurant guide that's "simple, informative and stylish". Covers WA (though it's linked to OzEating.com.au, which covers other states) Search by Suburb (and surrounding suburbs), cuisine and style of dining (including al fresco, bistro, family, buffet). Who provides the information Restaurants can list free. Reviews and star ratings are provided by patrons, though sometimes there's also an editorial blurb. What we like about it
Room for improvement The editors choose which reviews to publish, and make it clear they're not likely to publish negative reviews — something people have commented on to us. We tested the theory by submitting a negative review, and it didn't get published. The editors subsequently explained they have a system in place that aims to prevent unfair treatment of a restaurant, and told us why our review wasn't published.
www.menulog.com.au About Menulog It claims to be Australia's newest and most comprehensive eating-out guide, covering both dine-in and takeaway services. Covers All of Australia, including regional centres. Search by Suburb or area, type of venue (restaurant, café, pub, bar), ambience, price, cuisine. Who provides the information Restaurants provide basic information and menus. Excerpts of reviews from critics are published, as well as diner reviews. What we like about it
Room for improvement
There are some potentially-great websites out there with really useful features that are let down mainly by the lack of information for each restaurant. As these websites get more and more reviews, they'll become more popular, and get more reviews and become more popular… and so on. Whether or not they'll reach that critical mass — when there are excellent sites already out there — remains to be seen. Some of the other sites we looked at are:
Why not try googling a restaurant's name? There's a cyberjungle of foodie bloggers out there, and chances are you'll find someone who's been to it. Some of the blogs we looked at were pretty comprehensive and included good-quality pictures of the food and well written and apparently well-considered reviews. You might find one or two favourites in whose dining footsteps you can follow — or not. It's also a good way to check up on new restaurants that haven't made it to the mainstream guides.

Anna Bradford- Anna is a former club president(Reston Runners), volunteer, mentor, and coach to many runners of varying abilities. Even among her own challenge to run 100 miles at Vermont, she was seen motivating and pushing runners to finish. Anybody that knows Anna knows that she runs as much to help others achieve their goals as she does to achieve her own.
Rebecca Byerly- Rebecca has used her running and journalism skills to highlight stories that are rarely viewed by western culture. Last year she ran 125 miles across the Sahara during the Lybian challenge. While alot of what she covers relates to running, there is a cultural barrier that she is breaking through. Her feet allow her to film places and people that we may have never seen. She is just getting started, and I think we will see much of her wonderful and impactful work.
Michael Huff- Mike has been running for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund for several years now. He dedicates his running to serve those who have served us. Many soldiers return from duty with life changing injuries. Mr. Huff has vowed to make their lives better, as well as for their families. Mike is also one heck of a runner, having impressive runs at the challenging Grindstone 100, Hellgate 100k, and Western States. Mike's purpose to running is inspired by his strong faith in God, and dedication to be "Always Faithful"(semper fidelis)
Frank Probst- As a standout runner in his earlier years, Frank is still a force in his mid 60's. Frank has proven that longevity is attainable in a sport that abuses the body, as long as you care for it. When he's not breaking age group records, he's showing that he can still whoop up on guys a third his age...including me!
John DeWalt- Not sure if he's an unsung hero, because so many folks already call him a hero. John is 73 years young and just conquered the toughest 100 miler in the country(Hardrock)...for the 14th time! John is proof that running, and running long, does not have to fade with age. John is certainly an inspiration to myself and pretty much everyone he meets. His resume of tough races is incredible, and to think many of them were after his 50th birthday. This guy's already a living legend. If you see him, show some respect.
Dennis Herr- same as above, but younger. Probably too legendary to consider unsung. If you don't know who he is, find out, and then pick your jaw off the ground. This guy rocked the running scene with David Horton when ultrarunning was just a baby. They are old school.
Ed Demoney- Ed has served the running community far longer than I have been alive. He's been a race director, accomplished runner, and is still out on the trails. I wish I knew more about him. Age is just a state of mind, and Ed proves it at 72 years young.
Gary Knipling- Gary is now better known for his brews, knowledge of wildlife, and sense of humor. Gary can be found hosting, or volunteering his time at just about every VHTRC event. Gary truly goes out of his way to serve others, and it's seems to be his way of life. By the way, Gary was a 2:40 marathoner in his prime. Never question his toughness, since he also finished yet another MMT 100 this past May.
Phil Rosenstein-ran across the entire US in the fall of 2008 to raise money for the Mario Lemeuix foundation. He ran 3,300 miles in 94 days and raised over $20,000 for cancer research. Phil humbly kept publicity about himself to a minimum, but always made sure to highlight the foundation.

(Graphic: Business Wire)
Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to certain revisions.
The corrected release reads:
First Manhattan Co., the beneficial owner of approximately 9.9% of the outstanding shares of VIVUS, Inc. (Vivus) (NASDAQ: VVUS), today issued a letter to Vivus' stockholders.
The full text of the letter follows: July 8, 2013 Dear Fellow Vivus Stockholders: Vivus' Annual Meeting of Stockholders is only one week away. We at First Manhattan Co. strongly believe there is need for immediate and complete change in Vivus' board and CEO in order to save the company. Warren Buffett has written much about his experience on public company boards and we believe his wisdom is worthy of consideration by all shareholders: "In addition to being independent, directors should have business savvy, a shareholder orientation and a general interest in the company. The rarest of these qualities is business savvy—and if it is lacking the other two are of little help." 1 There is an abundance of evidence to suggest that Vivus' sitting board lacks all the qualities Buffett has emphasized – independence, a shareholder orientation, a general interest in the company, and "business savvy." The sitting board has presided over massive destruction of shareholder value due to its poor business judgment. The following charts speak for themselves. We urge you to support all nine of our nominees. If you have previously voted on the gold card, you can change your vote simply by voting on the WHITE card today. Even if you do not vote for all of our nominees, you should vote our WHITE proxy by mail, internet or phone. The sitting board and CEO committed the fatal flaw of failing to secure a pre-launch large pharma commercial partner for Qsymia. Securing a commercial partner is a decision that did not require much "business savvy." In fact, it just required a bit of common sense since no small company has ever successfully launched a blockbuster drug into the primary care market. Both of our obesity competitors, Arena and Orexigen, got it right on the commercial partnership, but Vivus' sitting board and CEO got it wrong. Consequently, Vivus shareholders have a failed launch and a company that is hemorrhaging cash, while Arena and Orexigen have a clear path toward profitability.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Fall's retro silhouettes, dark palette and modest cuts will be tempered with at least one typically naughty accent — leopard print.
The crush for Alexander Wang's Alla wedges this spring was just the start of a need for animal print something in every outfit. We're only half way through summer, so leopard print booties and scarves (just a few of the things highlighted after the jump) can't do much more than sit in your closet until September. So if you're extra impatient to embrace this particular trend, the leopard accented K.Jacques Caravelle sandals at left should do the trick.
Clockwise from top left, Loeffler Randall Fifi ankle booties ($625), Alexander McQueen silk scarf ($475), Christian Louboutin Lace-ups ($1175), Rebecca Minkoff Fling clutch ($350), Torn by Ronny Kobo skirt ($98), Yves Saint Laurent Muse wallet ($555).

Obama acts like the black market his Administration utilized to funnel guns to drug gangs in Mexico doesn't even exist.
"For every Columbine or Virginia Tech, there are dozens gunned down on the streets of Chicago and Atlanta, here in New Orleans," he said. "For every Tucson or Aurora, there is daily heartbreak over young Americans shot in Milwaukee or Cleveland."
Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country:
1. Apply for an Illinois Firearm Owner's Identification Card (FOID). $10 good for 10 years.
2. Take a Chicago compliant training course.
3. Take your FOID card and proof of completing the training course to the Chicago Police Department to get a Chicago Firearms Permit (CFP).
4. Register your gun with the Chicago Police Department. You can register only ONE gun with the CPD per 31 day period .
Even with some of the strictest laws in the nation, Chicago violent crime increases annually. The black market and unscrupulous individuals simply don't follow the laws. New laws will only increase costs for law abiding citizens and cost more in taxes.
Government excels at getting bigger and costing more. That's all any new law will be designed to do. New task forces, new paperwork, no real solutions.

Puck Daddy
Islanders' Matt Martin suspended one game for kneeing Trevor Daley
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy5 hrs agoAccording to the NHL, the kneeing penalty that got Matt Martin kicked out of the New York Islanders' game and put Dallas Stars defenseman Trevor Daley out on Tuesday was a bumbling, awkward collision by a player unfortunately trying to complete his check.
And it'll cost Martin another game.
From the NHL:
New York Islanders forward Matt Martin has been suspended for one game, without pay, for kneeing Dallas Stars defenseman Trevor Daley during NHL Game No. 948 in Dallas on Tuesday, March 3, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today.
The incident occurred at 1:48 of the first period. Martin was assessed a major penalty for kneeing and a game misconduct.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and, based on his average annual salary, Martin will forfeit $5,376.34. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
After the game, a 3-2 OT win for Dallas, coach Lindy Ruff estimated Daley would be done for "weeks" and called for a ban on Martin.
David Clarkson out for season because he's a Blue Jacket, hence injured
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy9 hrs agoMath is not our strong suit, but the amount of man-games lost for the Columbus Blue Jackets this season has to be in the thousands, right?
Or so it would seem with this snake-bitten team, which has now seen this season from hell take an new and exciting absurd turn: David Clarkson, the player they acquired in exchange for an injured player, is now himself injured.
(Although we bet his contract is insured.)
From the Jackets:
Columbus Blue Jackets right wing David Clarkson will be sidelined four to six weeks due to a torn oblique muscle suffered in Tuesday night's game against the Washington Capitals, club General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced today.
Clarkson, 30, collected 14 penalty minutes in three games with the Blue Jackets after being acquired by the club on February 26 from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for right wing Nathan Horton. He has registered 112 goals and 84 assists for 196 points with 969 penalty minutes in 547 career NHL games, including 10-5-15 and 106 penalty minutes in 61 games this season.
The Blue Jackets return to action on Friday when they visit the New Jersey Devils.
P.K. Subban shows many tricks with GoPro on ice (Video)
Josh Cooper at Puck Daddy9 hrs agoThese GoPro camera videos the NHL is producing are quite cool. From Sidney Crosby showing his skills to this new one with P.K. Subban trying all sorts of tricks.
It's kind of like you're on the ice with them – though really we're all watching them via internet. Anyway, behold Subban, one of the league's foremost entertainers, putting on a show for us:
This is all part of GoPro's deal with the NHL, which was announced over All-Star weekend. And at the moment the videos have yet to disappoint ... at all.
How does this rate against Crosby, the other NHL star who has a GoPro video at the moment? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But to see Subban's moves, and his rifle of a shot up close is indeed something. The preview shows that there will be many more players doing ridiculous stuff on the ice.

Watch Marc Crawford go off on opposing coach during Swiss league playoffs (Video)
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy10 hrs agoMarc Crawford is no stranger to going off on an opposing coach while on his team's bench. Remember the 1997 Western Conference Final
Nearly 20 years later, Crawford still has that edge and the ZSC Lions head coach took out some frustrations on EHC Biel head coach Kevin Schläpfer during a Swiss League playoff game on Saturday.
With Biel holding a 5-0 lead in the third period, things started to bubble over, and a dust-up ensued between Henrik Tallinder and Spylo Ahren. Via Bardown, when Schlapfer said something to Tallinder, Crawford had enough.
WARNING: VERY NSFW language (unless you have a really cool boss):
"If Schläpfer wants to mess with me, let him. But with a player? That will not do," Crawford said.
Hilary Knight on #LikeAGirl, growth of women's hockey, sting of Sochi (Video)
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy10 hrs agoThe last time I spoke with Hilary Knight, she was super pissed off.
It was in the media mix zone in Sochi, a year ago. The U.S. women's team had lost the gold medal in overtime to their arch rivals from Canada.
Knight had been whistled for a controversial penalty on Canadian forward Halyey Wickenheiser that led to Marie-Phillip Poulin's game-winning power play goal.
I still remember her voice as a mixture of bitterness, disappointment and exhaustion.
"I didn't touch her. She fell. It was a bogus call. But it doesn't rely on one call. We had plenty of opportunity," she said.
She was devastated. But with time comes understanding, and that gold medal game went down as one of the most memorable moments of the Sochi Games.
How many young women playing hockey around the world saw a player or a play and wondered, even for a moment, if that could be them one day?
Knight felt that way watching the U.S. women's national team, with players like Cammi Granato. They were her role models, and now she's like to be one to emerging generations of women athletes.

Most gruesome hockey injury? Sliced knee gets our vote (Photo)
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy12 hrs agoHockey is a dangerous game.
We doubt you all need a reminder of that, but sometimes there's an injury that just leaves you completely stunned and disgusted and stunningly disgusted.
A Redditor named "Yobay" published a few photos on Wednesday of his hockey injury. It was a knee injury. A pretty bad one.
"[I] was cutting to the net from the boards, defenseman took me out into the goalie, the goalie skate (which has corners) grabbed the side of my knee and the pressure of me falling into him with speed pushed my shin pad up and the skate sliced through.
"Ended with all 3 of us in the net and the net off into the boards.
"I didn't know it was bad until I was helped off the ice and felt something weird, pulled my sock down and revealed this horror show."
We're not going to publish them here, outside of the edited version up top, because we don't want you scrolling to something just repulsive by accident. (It's bad enough we publish Oilers box scores.)
So here is one VERY VERY NOT SAFE FOR WORK AND TOTALLY GROSS image that you CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Matt Martin to have DoPS hearing after kneeing Trevor Daley
Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy13 hrs agoThe Dallas Stars' playoff hopes are already slim — nine points out of a wild card spot — and losing one of their top defensemen Tuesday night won't help matters.
Early in the first period of their 2-1 3-2 overtime win over the New York Islanders Tuesday, Matt Martin collided knee-on-knee with Trevor Daley, sending the Stars blueliner to the ice in pain.
It was nothing malicious from Martin, as you can see from his immediate response, just clumsy, and unfortunately Daley was on the receiving end. Still, just like players have to be in control of their sticks, Martin needs to be in control of his body if he's going to lay a lick on an opponent.
Daley was done for the game and Martin was given a five-minute major for kneeing and an automatic game misconduct. The NHL announced Wednesday morning that the Islanders forward will have a phone hearing with the Department of Player Safety.
Why NHL chose ESPN, Sportsnet for World Cup of Hockey
Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy14 hrs agoThe earth shook with jaws hitting the ground when it was leaked last month that the NHL was partnering with ESPN for the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
The same ESPN it spurned twice for media rights deals with Comcast/NBC? The same ESPN that reduced hockey to a footnote in its on-air coverage, especially on SportsCenter and its sports screaming talk shows (FIRST TAKE, AROUND THE HORN)?
Yes, that ESPN.
The same NHL that was so loyal to NBC that it entered into an exclusive 10-year deal rather than placing hockey on multiple networks?
Yes, that NHL.
"We're thrilled to be back with the NHL in the United States," said ESPN President John Skipper. "The place is electric with excitement about getting back into hockey. We have a lot of hockey fans here."
ESPN and Sportsnet were awarded the exclusive rights to the World Cup of Hockey, scheduled for Sept. 17-Oct. 1 in Toronto in 2016. The eight-team tournament – representing six nations, with a European all-star team and a North American Young Stars team – will conclude with a best of three final round for the Cup.

The last time Arsenal and Manchester United met there were 10 goals. There's no way we'll see a repeat of that, but it's another game where I expect the attacks to come out on top, even if the stats suggest that won't be the case.
Arsenal's record at the Emirates this season is excellent. Their only defeat came against Liverpool early on and they've conceded just six goals in total.
United, meanwhile, have scored 19 goals on the road compared to the 33 they've got at Old Trafford, so there's an argument to say that this could finish 1-0 to either team, but I just can't see that happening.
Both defences are missing key men and neither has looked rock solid in recent weeks. The Arsenal back four did not look comfortable at all at Swansea, but I have a certain amount of sympathy for Arsene Wenger.
Thomas Vermaelen has been a huge loss for them at centre-back and they've really struggled with the amount of injuries they've had in both full-back positions. They've had to fill the gaps by playing centre-backs in those positions like Ignasi Miquel and Johan Djourou, which isn't ideal.
When you're a team like Arsenal and you've conceded more goals away from home than any other team, well that tells you everything you need to know.

How to remote record
But it's still no excuse for how poorly they've been defending, especially away from home. Liverpool won four trophies back in 2001, including the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup, playing with four centre-backs.
Jamie Carragher and Markus Babbel played left and right-back respectively that season, so I can understand if Djourou and Miquel were a bit lacking going forward, but they certainly should be defending better.
And when you're a team like Arsenal and you've conceded more goals away from home than any other team, well that tells you everything you need to know.
There's a chance that Vermaelen will be back for Sunday, which will be a huge boost. The only question is will Arsene Wenger play him at left-back or at centre-back?
See all Jamie's Red Hot Tips at Sky Bet
There's obviously an argument for both, but personally I'd stick him back at centre-back in place of Per Mertesacker.
Arsenal look a different team when Vermaelen's at the heart of defence, while Mertesacker has really struggled to find his feet in the Premier League. He looks really uncomfortable and his movement just doesn't look right to me.
The problem Arsene Wenger has is that Miquel has struggled as well. He's a young lad and I hope he turns into a good player, but at the moment he looks a bit lightweight. Premier League football is hard enough when you're playing in natural position, but he's overexposed at the moment and I'm sure Sir Alex Ferguson will be looking at that.
As far back as I can remember United have always played with wingers who stretch the pitch and attack the oppositions full-backs and I'm sure he will have looked at Djourou and Miquel and thought that's where he can hurt them.
Jamie's backing Steven Gerrard to score 1st v Bolton
Whoever plays in the wide areas - whether it's Nani, Antonio Valencia or Ji-Sung Park - will be too powerful for them. And it's not just United's wide men that will cause you problems; it's their full-backs too.
I can see this being a high scoring game for both teams though. United really miss Nemanja Vidic and with Robin van Persie in the kind of form he's in, I can see Arsenal scoring as well.
The early kick-off between Manchester City and Tottenham could be a factor too, because if City win, that will put a little bit of extra pressure on United.
I've played in situations like this before when you know what the result from an earlier game is and, whether it's consciously or sub-consciously, it does affect you.
If City get three points United will come out all guns blazing because they won't want that that gap at the top to increase.
It should be a cracking game either way though and if I was putting money on it I'd go for a score draw. Right now, I think both managers would take that.
As for the earlier kick-off, if Tottenham think they can win the league then they have to go to the Etihad Stadium and come away with a point. It's a tough ask because City have won 10 out of 10 there this season, but it's great time to be playing them.
The loss of Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure is massive. Within any team, no matter how good they are, there are a couple of key men who are irreplaceable and Kompany and Toure are those men for City.
That said, they grounded out a result against Wigan and were unlucky against United in the FA Cup. So it's still going to be really difficult for Tottenham, especially without Emmanuel Adebayor.
Jamie thinks it will be a 1-1 draw between Man City and Spurs - 6/1
There's no doubt that Roberto Mancini and City are still in the box seat and you'd rather be in their position than any of those around them, even United with all their experience.
But wins for both Spurs and United this weekend could see a real swing in the title race.

Matt Broadhead (Manchester City fan) says...
Harry Redknapp all week been pulling a Fergie by gobbing off about City and Mancini. City's squad is better than anyone else with YaYa or Kompany and will beat Spurs. Spurs have 2 players Bale and Parker. Van de Vaart is lazy and a sulk who does not put a shift in. City will win by 2 goals easy and im sure Redknapp will have an excuse as always. United will beat Arsenal but I think it will be tight. Arsenal are in freefall. They cant stop conceding and are half the team they were 2 years ago and 2 years ago they were half the team they were 5 years ago. Spurs are not title contenders its a 2 horse race and which ever horse, blue or red, wins in May will win the title.

Ada Goodwin (Manchester United fan) says...
Listening to Harry's comments I really hope Tottenham get a result at City tomorrow, it looks like the Chelsea days are drawing to a close and City are trying to buy a bit of glory in the same fashion. I used to love the matches between Arsenal and Utd, two teams that have grown their clubs through being successful. I hope spurs get a draw at least and I think we are going to have a tough one tomorrow, on paper we should win it but Arsenal always up their game at home. Should be a good match maybe Henry and Scholes will score!

Brent Smith (Manchester United fan) says...
honestly its going to be a tuff game no matter what way you look at it, it may not be like the great games of old with keane and vierra but it should be good none the less. as for fergie said wenger is sticking to what he knows i jus believe he needs to refink and buy players, look at fergie he was on the verge of getting the sack but turned it around to become one of the greatest mangers in the united kingdom. both teams are shakey in denfense it all depends on which team buckles first but of course im going to stay loyal united to win
Posted 13:13 21st January 2012
Jack Wills (Manchester United fan) says...
Arsenal fans cant be excpecting to win? i think it will be at least 3-0 to united and I have a feeling Tottenham-City will be 0-0, city don't look the same and Tottenham just don't have any players that can easily find the goal
Posted 09:58 21st January 2012
Richard Kiprop (Arsenal fan) says...
tomorrow's game between arsenal vs man u is the test for wenger either to have good results and maintain or seek to strengthtened the squad or choose to play europa league next season and struggling like this sarcasstic games we have seen this season.
Posted 09:05 21st January 2012
Jason Walker (Manchester United fan) says...
i agree with jamie with the first game man city don't look too solid without kompany and yaya toure in midfield so tottenham will bring the game to city but city's home record will just help them draw. The arsenal game is a strange one because they always play well at home against man utd but watching them at swansea and they have no pentration with walcott and arshavin who for me have been poor all season and van persie will have too much to do on his own so for me it will be a close game becuase man utd also have been quite poor with not much good attacking threat so draw is a likely result but anything can happen on the day so Come on united !!!!
Posted 22:42 20th January 2012
Daniel Vaughn (Chelsea fan) says...
I think that Arsenal will salvage a draw, because RVP will save them, I think it will end 2-2. It will be a big boost for Arsenal if Vermaelen does play.

Evans Rwamuhuru (Manchester United fan) says...
United to win 2 -1 at the Emirates with Robin to score the lone Arsenal goal and United goals to come from Rooney and Nani with Valencia creating the first goal scored by Rooney....I expect fantastic display at the middle of the park from Scholesy
Posted 16:33 20th January 2012
Jack Ramful (Arsenal fan) says...
Arsenal should pip this one. on the back of a sorry performance against Swansea, as well as the humiliation faced after the last league meeting with United, Arsenal have no option but to come out and put on a good show. If we get a bit more commitment from the likes of Arshavin, and get RVP in positions anywhere in and around the penalty area I think the gaps in Uniteds defence will show. Would also like to see Henry and Oxlaide Chamberlain feature at some point, I think the introduction of these two later on in the game will help see United of.
Posted 15:17 20th January 2012
P Skiddy (Tottenham Hotspur fan) says...
Yes Mr Redknapp... It'll be a great day of football. WIth City lost a few key players and not playing well id expect Spurs to come away with at least a point. In fact with the great players we have - I think 3-1 Spurs win....to blow the title race wide open. As for Arsenal, their season is already going down the pan....I am surprised, because it normally sets in around February. I just cant see Arsenal getting anything from this game, in fact I see them getting nothing. My predication 4-0 to United. Arsenals gap between Spurs increasing by the week. COYS.
Posted 14:22 20th January 2012
Maxamed Max (Arsenal fan) says...
It's a home game so I expect Arsenal to grind out another result and Ramsey scored the only at Emirates stadium last season. This time we may see a 2-1 victory for the Gunners: Rooney, Van Persie & wolcott score a goal winner
Posted 10:58 20th January 2012
Chris White (Arsenal fan) says...
There was a time when Arsenal fans looked forward to this fixture with relish! Now..most are hoping the result won't embarrass the club too much and a draw would be a good result. Wenger really has lost it in my mind. To ignore the obvious need for someone to support van Persie, persist with the dead weights year upon year, and ignore opportunities to buy quality players at bargain prices...Cahill, Enrique, given, etc while claiming his squad his good enough..yet time and time again he is proven wrong..just goes to show..there is definitely something wrong in the state of Arsene!

Global elections watch: All eyes on U.S. race
Who would foreigners like to see at the helm of the world's superpower – a Republican or Democrat?
Andy Nelson – staff/FILE
Pakistan, Russia, and Zimbabwe are holding elections this year. Cuba's Fidel Castro is talking about retirement. But few leadership changes in 2008 will be as closely watched as the US election. Who Americans want in the Oval Office won't be known until November. Yet from Mexico to Iraq, people are already forming views about who they'd like to see at the helm of the world's only superpower, says correspondent Mark Rice-Oxley in London. A Monitor survey found opinion divided, and often counterintuitive.
Would you prefer a Democrat or a Republican as the next US president?
Liberals don't necessarily support a Democrat, nor do conservatives necessarily want a Republican. Many people interviewed outside the US said it was time for a change. But some felt that having Democrats in both the White House and Congress could hurt global trade.

I was dismayed to read John Gleeson's recent "Gibsons terror" commentary (Coast Reporter, March 7).
In a town that's struggling with deep divisions, this was irresponsible. Personally, I've had George supporters pointing fingers, saying I'm "against everything" and spreading false rumours. This is an ugly departure from the friendly town I've known, and I wonder why.
Is it to shift the focus off the real issues and onto "those people?" Anyone who knows me knows that I care a lot about the Landing. I had my own shop there for 17 years. I've also been given a volunteer award by the Town for contributions to the Landing. I support economic development, but am convinced a smaller hotel can be viable. So how does raising questions make me a "redneck hippie" contributing to "terror"? Unbelievable!
As a nearby resident I can say my neighbourhood has many concerns about the hotel's impacts. We are the ones who will bear the brunt of traffic, views, noise and property values. Are we a group of conspirators? At the last council meeting, four of the people who spoke were folks I've never met or seen before. They just seemed to be ordinary concerned citizens to me.
In his book Happy Cities, Charles Montgomery identifies citizen involvement as the key to creating great communities. Please try to look at inquires in this constructive light. Be fair and balanced in your reporting and editorials, without the name calling. We all have to live together, no matter what the outcome.

Trading Card Games For Dummies
Table of Contents
Author Information
Jeremy Smith is an associate editor at InQuest
Gamer magazine, one of the premier publications in the hobby
gaming industry. He has written for the magazine since 1996 and has
been on its staff since 2001, when he moved from Rhode Island to
New York to take on the immense task of playing games for a living.
His chief task of compiling and editing the magazine's price
guide harkens back to his card-trading days at the University of
Rochester in upstate New York, where he'd spend a weekend
turning a handful of junk rares into a new car. Or something close
to that, anyway.
The writing part probably sprung out of his lifelong love for
words, starting back in Minnesota from age two, reading words off
the TV while watching The Electric Company. This continued
later on when he represented Rhode Island at the National Spelling
Bee in 1987 and 1988 and then worked as an editor for the
university newspaper in Rochester.
Jeremy's previous interests in playing Dungeons &
Dragons and collecting sports cards (go Red Sox and Patriots!)
during the '80s and early '90s led to his entry into
the trading card game arena, starting when he bought his first
packs of Magic: The Gathering back in 1994 and told the
dealer, "Hi! I'd like to pick up a new
addiction!" How prophetic, indeed.
In addition to his daily routine of charting card prices, building
decks, and occasionally getting some real work done at InQuest
Gamer, Jeremy also moonlights as a certified judge for Wizards
of the Coast's sanctioned Magic tournament program.
This has given him experience in everything from running a
tournament of more than 100 players by himself to training and
mentoring new judges to making darned sure that the players all
have a good time and come back for more. It has also taken him to
exciting places like Amsterdam, New Orleans, and Kansas City to
judge at major tournaments. Well, at least Kansas City had some
great steaks.

Thunderbird Rapid Release Schedule
New versions of Thunderbird will now be released in cycles of 6 – 12 weeks. Even though the new version numbers sound like major releases, they really are not. You are likely to notice very little in the way of changes when new versions are released even with a major change in version number. One thing to bear in mind is if you have installed add-ons for Thunderbird, they may not be compatible with the new releases until the developer of the add-on provides an update.
This means the Thunderbird 6 Easy-Email Guides are valid for newer versions of Thunderbird as well.
Should this change we will release a new version of the guide and anyone who has purchased a Thunderbird 6 Advanced Guide will be entitled to a free upgrade.
Thunderbird 5 released
Mozilla has now released version 5 of Thunderbird.
We have updated our guides so you can setup Easy-Email without any problems.
When you subscribe to our list you will now get links to both version 3.x and version 5.x of Thunderbird.
Many of the updates to Thunderbird are 'behind the scenes'. They have updated the engine that runs the user interface, but they have kept most of the layouts and dialog boxes as they were before.
We have taken the opportunity to make a few other minor updates to the guides, so they are now better than ever
Have fun!
How To Copy Your Thunderbird Settings To Another Computer
Now you want to set up your laptop or your another computer with the same settings but you don't want to spend all that time doing it again from scratch. This article shows how to copy the settings / profiles from one computer to another.
Copying Thunderbird 3 settings from Windows to Windows is really easy.
There's a free download that you can use called MozBackup. The link is at the bottom of this article.
• Install MozBackup on your main computer.
• Backup your Thunderbird profile.
• Copy the backup to your secondary computer.
• Install MozBackup on your secondary computer.
• Restore your profile from the backup.
If you would like step by step instructions please refer to the Appendix in the Thunderbird 3.0 Essential Guide.
If you want to copy your Thunderbird settings between Windows, Mac OS X and Linux there are a couple more steps involved but it's not complicated.
I'll refer to the computers as main computer – the one you've set up – and second computer – the one to which you are copying the settings. The menus shown are for copying settings from Windows to Mac OS X, but the steps are the same regardless of which operating systems you use.
Important! All the settings and email stored in Thunderbird on the second computer will be removed. This guide is designed with a new installation of Thunderbird in mind. If you have emails and contacts you wish to keep on your second computer you have to setup an account to synchronize with Gmail, copy your old emails to your Gmail account, and synchronize your contacts with Gmail before you continue. For details on how to do this please read the Thunderbird Essential Guide.
The key steps are:
1. Find the location of your Thunderbird profile on your main computer.
2. Copy your profile from your main computer to a USB drive.
3. Copy your profile from the USB drive to your second computer.
4. Verify paths to mail folders and signatures.
1. Find the location of your Thunderbird profile
The location of your Thunderbird profile folder depends on the operating system you use. If you are unsure of the location you can verify it in Thunderbird.
• Go to the Tools → Account Settings… window (Edit → Account Settings… on Linux).
• Select the Server Settings tab on your account.
• Click the Browse button to verify the location of your mail folder for this account.
Make a note of the folder location.
• Now click on the Local Folders tab.
Then click on Browse.
• Make a note of the location.
2. Copy your profile from your main computer to a USB drive
To copy your profile on to a USB drive simply shut down Thunderbird and go to the folder where your profile is stored. Your name will be different.
Note: You may have issues with hidden folders in Linux and Windows. Tips on how to find them are in the Thunderbird Essential Guide.
Make sure you have enough free space on your USB drive before you copy the profile folder.
Now copy the xxxxxxxx.default folder to your USB drive.
3. Copy your profile from the USB drive to the second computer
On your second computer we will copy the contents of the profile folder from the USB drive.
• Install Thunderbird
• Start Thunderbird for the first time so the profile folder gets created.
You do not need to create an account since we are going to overwrite all the settings anyway.
• Shut down Thunderbird.
• Navigate to the profile folder.
Notice how the profile name is different to that of the old computer.
• Open the yyyyyyyy.default folder and delete all the contents of the folder.
Do not delete the yyyyyyyy.default folder – only the contents of the folder!
Important! This will remove all email and settings you have stored on Thunderbird if you already have Thunderbird on this computer. Only do this if you do not wish to keep the old emails.
• On your USB drive open the profile folder from your main computer.
• Copy the contents of the xxxxxxxx.default folder on the USB drive into the yyyyyyyy.default folder on your second computer.
It is important that you do not change the name of the yyyyyyyy.default folder.
4. Verify paths to mail folders and signatures
If you find that the email folders do not appear correctly you will need to verify the folder locations.
• Start Thunderbird again.
• Go to Tools → Account Settings…
• On the Server Settings tab verify the location of your email folders.
• On the Local Folders tab verify the location of your local folders.
• Click on the My Mail IMAP tab.
• Verify that your signatures are set up correctly.
If your signatures are stored in external files you will need to copy these from your main computer too. If you entered your signature in Thunderbird it should be set up correctly.
Full instructions on how to set this up can be found at ThunderbirdSync.com where you can get your free copy of the Easy-Email Essential Guide to Thunderbird.
