Please read the following page concerning Bethany College's best practices on illegal file sharing and downloading. All are expected to read, understand and practice its contents.
The purpose of the Bethany College Student Acceptable Use Policy is to provide guidelines for use of College owned equipment, internet access, email and student owned technologies connected to the Bethany College Network. This policy states that all computer and electronic transmissions including communications transmitted by, received from or stored on Bethany College equipment are property of the organization.
Bethany's Student Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is intended to help enhance the use of Bethany's Internet/Intranet (the "Net") by preventing unacceptable use. All users of Bethany's Internet/Intranet services (the "Services") and those who access some of our Services must comply with this AUP.
The 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act(DMCA) provides both civil and criminal penalties for copyright infringement violations. The penalties include both fines and injunctive relief.

- Did you know that music, movies, games, and software are protected by federal copyright law?
- Did you know that downloading or distributing these materials without the stated permission of the copyright owner is illegal?
The DMCA outlines specific steps that Internet Service Providers like Bethany College must take when their users violate copyright laws.
Bethany College supports the free flow of information and ideas over the Net, but it will periodically monitor the use of the Services. Similarly, Bethany does not exercise editorial control over the content of any electronic mail transmission, newsgroup, or other material created or accessible over or through the Services. Bethany College may cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in the investigation of any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrong. Your violation of this AUP may result in the suspension or termination of either your access to the Services and/or your Bethany user account or other actions as detailed in Section 3.
The policies stated here shall not be regarded as all-inclusive according to the DMCA and the No Electronic Theft Act. The absence of a specific statement prohibiting a certain activity does not mean the activity is acceptable. Any activity or use not specified in these statements that is determined to be detrimental to the Bethany College computer system is prohibited.
The following constitute violations of this AUP:
- Network Accounts. Using a network account, id or password issued to another individual or allowing another individual to use your network account, id or password. Accounts are intended for the sole use of the individual for whom it was created. That user is responsible for safeguarding their ids and passwords, and is responsible for any and all usage on their assigned account.
- Illegal Use and Copyright or trademark infringement. To transmit or receive any material (by email, uploading, posting, or otherwise) that, intentionally or unintentionally, violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law, or any rules or regulations promulgated hereunder. Using Bethany College Internet Services to infringe any type of copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other proprietary rights of any third party, including, but not limited to, the unauthorized copying of copyrighted material, the digitization and distribution of photographs from magazines, books, or other copyrighted sources, and the unauthorized transmittal of copyrighted software as per the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

This includes "denial of service" (DoS) attacks against another network host or individual user. Interference with or disruption of other network users, network services, or network equipment is prohibited. It is the Member's responsibility to ensure that their network is configured in a secure manner. A student may not, through action or inaction, allow others to use their network for illegal or inappropriate actions. A student may not permit their network, through action or inaction, to be configured in such a way that gives a third party the capability to use their network in an illegal or inappropriate manner (no file sharing).
- News. Bethany's students should use their best judgment when posting to any newsgroup. Many groups have charters, published guidelines, FAQs, or "community standards" describing what is and is not considered appropriate. Usenet can be a valuable resource if used properly. The continued posting of off-topic articles is prohibited. Commercial advertisements are off-topic in most newsgroups, especially regional groups not specifically named for such. The presence of such articles in a group is not indicative of the group's "intended" use. Please familiarize yourself with basic USENET netiquette before posting to a newsgroup.
- Long Connections and Multiple Logins. Using a personal account for high volume or commercial use is prohibited. The Services are intended for periodic, active use of email, newsgroups, and browsing the World Wide Web. Students may stay connected so long as they are actively using that connection for the above purposes. Students may not use the Services on a standby or inactive basis in order to maintain a connection. Pinging is expressly prohibited. Accordingly, Bethany maintains the right to terminate any connection following any extended period of inactivity.
- Damage. Students are to take reasonable precautions to limit damage to computer systems, data and output resulting from food and drink. Any damage deemed "intentional" whether it be from food, drink or physical abuse is prohibited.

Residence Hall Computer Support Services Policy
Bethany College IT is responsible for providing computer services up to the data outlet on your wall. Students are responsible for maintenance from the wall outlet to their computer and/or other devices. Staff members are prohibited from servicing any software/hardware issue relative to a student's personal computer.
When a student encounters problems connecting to the Internet from his/her room, the student must contact a Residence Life Staff member in their building. The Residence Life Staff member will assess the outlet with regard to connectivity, and report connectivity issues to the Computer Services Office.
Data outlets are sometimes called a data jack, network jack, network outlet, or wall jack. The data jack is in a faceplate mounted in the wall, baseboard or outlet box on the wall. It is slightly larger than a telephone jack. All data outlets have an identification tag that has the room number it is first. A tag might read 1118-1-2 or 355-1. The first number, 1118 or 355, is the room number. If there is a problem with a data jack, the entire number sequence on the tag, and building name, must be reported. Your RA will inform you on the reporting procedures. (Please note: Data jacks and telephone jacks are not the same. The telephone network is not the data network. There is no data on the telephone network. If you get a dial tone, it is not a data jack.)
Process: If the Residence Life Staff member finds that connectivity is not an issue, then no further assistance will be provided. If upon inspection connectivity cannot be established or not properly functioning, the Residence Life Staff member will contact Computer Services Office for further assistance. If it is necessary for a Computer Services staff member to visit the student's room for further review of the problem, the staff member will be accompanied by a Residence Life Staff member at all times.
General Steps: Check to see if your roommate's computer works in your jack. If yes, then it is an issue with your own personal computer that you must resolve, and no further support will be provided by the Computer Services staff. If you have established that the jack is not working, notify your RA/SRA/AC, and s/he will submit an IT service request. You may utilize a computer lab computer or a computer in the mailroom of the Pihlblad Union.
Each student, faculty member and staff member at Bethany College may request an account on the Bethany College Local Area Network (LAN). The network may be accessed from any computer containing a network card. Access to the LAN must be considered a privilege, not a right.The LAN is connected to the Internet, and each account can access this with email and full Internet privileges.
User Account Policy
Each account belongs to the person to whom it is issued and only that person is authorized to use it, other than the guidelines below:
- The senior systems administrator has the authority to monitor all accounts. Every effort will be made to maintain privacy and security in this process.
- Accounts may be monitored, tracking the time spent on the system and use of resources, such as disk storage, pages printed, messages mailed, and Internet time.
- The senior systems administrator and Bethany faculty have the right to distribute files necessary for class work to individual accounts and have the right to view those files that are for the purpose of the faculty member's class(es).
- Each user will be expected to exercise responsible behavior when on the network.
- Each user will be held accountable for work created when the user's account has been accessed. Do not leave an account open when you leave a computer terminal.
- You may not use the computer to annoy, harass, terrify, intimidate, threaten, offend or bother another person by conveying obscene language, pictures or other materials or threats of bodily harm.
- Playing recreational games is discouraged in the labs and anyone playing games may be asked to relinquish the use of the computer to others who need it for academic purposes.
The following are examples of unacceptable use of the network:
- Using or attempting to use someone else's network account.
- Using the network for any illegal activity, including violation of copyright or other contracts.
- Using the network for financial or commercial gain.
- Degrading or disrupting the functioning of hardware, software or system performance.

- Loss of access to one's account.
- Disciplinary or legal action including, but not limited to, criminal prosecution under appropriate state and federal laws.
Email User Retention Policy
July 1, 2010
Access to computing accounts is governed by the Acceptable Use Policy for Technology Resources. The following outlines the procedure by which accounts (e.g. email, file storage) will be terminated.
- Faculty and staff username and password will be disabled immediately upon termination of employment.
- All data (files, messages, etc) in disabled student accounts will be immediately deleted from active systems. Data in faculty and staff accounts will be maintained for 30 days following disabling of accounts unless specific exception is requested by the employee's department head. That data will be made available to the department head before it is deleted.
- Student accounts will be disabled whenever matriculation ends, whether by graduation or by withdrawal from classes. This change in status may be ascertained by Computer Service's regular review of administrative information (e.g. Jenzabar). Students who leave the College during the course of a semester will have their accounts disabled immediately. Otherwise a two-week grace period will be granted following the end of a semester.
- At the conclusion of the Spring semester, student accounts will remain active as long as students are registered for Fall classes. The privilege of utilizing the Bethany College email system is granted to students not enrolled in summer classes. Although students do not technically hold status during this period, the students are still bound by the Acceptable Use Policy referenced herein.
- Accounts will be disabled at the request of appropriate administrators, as outlined in the acceptable use policy referenced above.
*Student accounts reaching 300 MB will be disabled until the box is cleaned out.
Campus Mailbox Policy 09-20-2011
- Computer Services takes its cue from Human Resources about when to create new user accounts, mailboxes, and home-drives for all employees. The director of Human Resources will deliver an electronic sheet that contains all pertinent information.
- Computer Services is responsible for delivering next-day service for the creation of new user accounts and mailboxes. In many cases, it will be same-day service when possible.
- Adjunct Faculty distribution lists will be updated every semester. Those who are not teaching in a given semester will be removed from the Bethany Faculty distribution list. Those who are will be added. The Office of the Provost will notify Computer Services which accounts will be added or removed from the distribution list. Furthermore, there is the understanding that adjuncts may set out for a semester or two but will be allowed to keep their accounts in the meantime.
- Retired Faculty will have the option of keeping a user account after leaving the college, and said user account will not have a respective mailbox.
- A new hire, at the direction of his/her supervisor, will have the option to keep his/her predecessor's mailbox for a period of time, archive the mailbox, or delete it altogether. In any case, Computer Services will not make the call since the matter is an integral part of the affected department's operations.
- All graduating seniors will be allowed to keep their accounts and mailboxes for a period of one semester after graduation, regardless of degree-major. Students will be notified one month in advance by Computer Services prior to deletion-allowing students the opportunity to save important mail. All non-returning students' accounts and mailboxes, regardless of status, will be handled on a case-by-case basis within one month after the beginning of each semester.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 24, 3:30 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Robertson Stadium (32,000) -- Houston, Texas Television: FSN. Home Record: Tulane 2-5, Houston 2-3. Away Record: Tulane 0-4, Houston 1-4. Neutral Record: Tulane 0-0, Houston 1-0. Conference Record: Tulane 2-5, Houston 3-4. Series Record: Houston leads, 13-4.
GAME NOTES: The Houston Cougars conclude their tenure as members of Conference USA with a regular-season finale against the Tulane Green Wave at Robertson Stadium.
This contest will also be the final game held at Robertson Stadium, which opened its doors to the first-ever Cougars football team in 1946. Houston is bound for the Big East Conference for the 2013 season after joining the Conference USA as a founding member in 1996.
Tulane and Houston began a rivalry in 1968 and will play for the 18th time on Saturday. The Cougars hold a 13-4 edge in the all-time series which includes a 7-2 record at Robertson Stadium. Both teams will be ending their season's under first-year head coaches on Saturday after failing to become bowl eligible.
In its first season under Curtis Johnson, Tulane has produced just two wins in 11 games. Its 2-5 mark in conference action has the team tied with Texas-El Paso at the bottom of the West Division standings. The Green Wave finished the 2011 season with 10 consecutive losses and began this year with five more to build an FBS leading losing streak. They finally ended the skid with a one- point upset of SMU at home, but the Green Wave have been defeated in four of five games since downing the Mustangs. Last week, East Carolina defeated Tulane, 28-23, to hand the team its third straight setback.
Houston is 4-7 entering the last chapter of Tony Levine's inaugural season as the program's head coach. The Cougars started the post-Case Keenum era out with a three-game losing streak before reeling off three-straight wins to get back to .500. Houston then lost four of its next five, including last week's 44-41 setback to Marshall which ended the team's hopes of becoming bowl eligible. Houston's offense had been fairly productive this season, but the Thundering Herd had no problem winning the shootout as they amassed 665 yards of total offense and a program record 37 first downs on the Cougars' weak defensive unit.
Tulane has been inconsistent on the offensive side of the ball in a high- scoring league in 2012. It has been plagued all season long by its inability to run the ball effectively. It entered last week ranked 119th in the nation in rushing yards with only 42.3 ypg. The struggle continued versus ECU as it ran just 22 times in the outing and finished with an average of 0.4 yards per attempt.
Despite getting zero help from team's running backs, senior QB Ryan Griffin did a decent job under center versus the Pirates, completing 36-of-57 attempts for 293 yards and two touchdowns. Griffin was the hero in the Green Wave's losing streak snapping victory over SMU as he returned from an injury to pass for 302 yards and three TDs, which included a clutch game-winning drive in the final minutes. Over the span of his last six games since returning, Griffin has averaged 351.8 passing yards per game with 17 touchdowns to six interceptions.
Ryan Grant extended his streak of consecutive games with a catch to 19 by reeling in 10 receptions for 94 yards last week. The junior wideout increased his season total of receiving yards to a C-USA leading best 1,046 in the process. He has also reeled in six touchdown grabs this season.
On the season, the Green Wave's opponents are averaging 472.7 yards and 38.3 points per game. Tulane finally held an opponent under the 30-point mark last week after surrendering 131 points over the span of its previous three games.
Freshman defensive back Darion Monroe is the team's leading tackler with 84 stops. Senior Austen Jacks is the best big play producer with 8.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. Freshman Lorenzo Doss will look to add to his team-best total of four interceptions.
The Cougars were an unstoppable offensive force last season with Keenum's record setting performance under center, but it appeared they would experience a rebuilding season after their season opening 30-13 loss to Texas State. However, the Cougars are ranked 11th in the FBS in passing offense (324.6) and 26th in total offense (469.5) in the first year without their All-American passer. The high-scoring numbers from last season have been reduced by Houston's 32 giveaways.
Sophomore David Piland was up and down as the starting QB for most of the season for Houston. He will likely guide the offense through the Big East next season, but Crawford Jones will get the nod on Saturday. Jones, a fifth-year senior, finally made the first start of his career versus the Thundering Herd last week. The Cougars nearly left Huntington with a win as he went 31-of-44 for 316 yards and five touchdowns without an interception.
Houston's receiving corps showed its depth versus Marshall as eight different Cougars had multiple receptions. Deontay Greenberry made a team-best six catches for 60 yards and a score while Dewayne Peace and Xavier Maxwell caught two touchdown passes each. The depth at wideout was nothing new as eight different Houston players have at least two touchdown catches on the season in the spread attack.
The Cougars found success in the rushing game earlier in the season with tailback Charles Sims pacing the team on the ground. The Cougars improved to 6-0 all-time when running back Charles Sims records 100+ rushing yards three weeks ago versus Texas-El Paso. However, Sims has been limited by injuries since that contest. Freshman Kenneth Farrow took over the ball carrying duties last week to produce 78 yards on 14 attempts.
The Cougars scoring defense (37.7 ppg) and total defense (491.6 ypg) are both ranked in the bottom 10 among FBS programs.
Due to defense's inability to get opponents off the field, Phillip Steward (120), Trevon Stewart (118), Derrick Mathews (115), and Everett Daniels (103) all rank in the top 10 in the C-USA in total tackles. The Cougars lost their top cornerback to a season ending injury during the week prior to the game at Marshall. The Cougars managed to pick off the Thundering Herd's Rakeem Cato twice in the contest.
Although the Cougars have the homefield advantage on their side, Griffin and the Green Wave will give them a run in what will be a very high-scoring affair. Houston is not on a higher level than the visitors after having a few of its top players bitten by the injury bug, giving the Green Wave the edge in this one.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Tulane 41, Houston 38

Jetty and ObjectWeb EasyBeans (aka JOnAS EJB3 Container)
EasyBeans is an open-source Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) container hosted by the OW2 consortium. The License used by EasyBeans is the LGPL.
EasyBeans is a lightweight container that can be embedded in several Java EE servers or Web server like Jetty.
There are different packages on the EasyBeans download page. The Jetty package has to be downloaded. It is provided both in .zip or .tgz format
- A JRE v5.0 (or higher) is required
- Jetty 6.1 or higher version is needed (the previous versions don't have a feature required by EasyBeans)
- Ant tool (1.6 or higher)
Adding EasyBeans in Jetty
This step is quite easy. EasyBeans packaging provides a .war file. This .war file has to be copied in JETTY_HOME/webapps/ folder.
EJB3 Example
Using an existing example
The examples provided in the EasyBeans release need to be copied in the $JETTY_HOME/examples_ejb3s/ directory. The resulting directory will be $JETTY_HOME/examples_ejb3s with subfolders like statelessbean
Stateless example
Trying the example
The preview is bundled with some examples. The first one is a stateless bean
Here are the steps for launching this example:
- Check that JETTY_HOME environment variable is defined before launching ant scripts
ant needs to be launched in $JETTY_HOME/examples_ejb3s/statelessbean directory. This will compile the source code and copy the archive into the $JETTY_HOME/ejb3s/stateless.jar/ directory.
- On the server side, some traces will be printed. This is because the EJB3 container has detected a new module in the $JETTY_HOME/ejb3s directory. The bean was loaded automatically.
Creating container for archive /home/xxx/xxx/stateless.jar.
- Then, the client can be executed by running the command ant run.client
If the client is executed without errors, the output will be:
No Format
run.client: [java] Calling helloWorld method... [java] Add 1 + 2... [java] Sum = '3'.
- There is also a servlet's client that has been put in $JETTY_HOME/webapps directory.
It can be accessed with the default url: http://localhost:8080/stateless.war/
Extra steps
An online documentation about EasyBeans/Jetty is available on EasyBeans web site.

Results vs. Newberry (2006-08-29 16:00:00)
August 29, 2006Newberry defeats Pfeiffer 3-1 NEWBERRY, S.C. - Newberry College earned a 3-1 win over the Pfeiffer Lady Falcons in women's soccer action at the Newberry College Soccer Complex Tuesday. Newberry's Elisa Alvarez scored the first goal when she recived a low cross from Lauren Carbonell 20 yards from goal. Alvarez put the ball in the lower right corner past Pfeiffer goalkeeper Jennifer Lindow to open the game's scoring. The Lady Falcons responded in the 15th minute with the leg of Maria Reis. After Megan Blevins earned a free kick from roughly 30 yards out on the left wing, Reis blasted a shot off the underside of the crossbar that Newberry goalkeeper Danielle Beckerle was unable to stop, tying the match at 1-1. With time running down in the first half, Brooke Tumblin netted a goal in the 43rd minute. Mandi Butler found Tumblin with a through ball, and Tumblin chipped the ball into the net from 10 yards out to put Newberry ahead, 2-1 at halftime. Another goal for Newberry came just 4:16 into the second half. Brady passed it on to Butler and Butler made sure the goalkeeper had no chance to stop it with a low, powerful shot to the the right. Newberry outshot Pfeiffer for the game 27-12. Newberry also had more corner kicks, 6-2. Pfeiffer had more fouls, 14-12. Maria Reis had Pfeiffer's only goal on four SOG. Jennifer Lindow recorded 10 saves in goal. Pfeiffer will return to action Saturday when they host UNC-Pembroke at 4:00 pm.

Holidays in Faro
Holidays in Faro and the Algarve present many contrasts. The Algarve's capital boasts history and culture, while the remarkable coastline will truly take your breath away.
It's easy to combine a city break in Faro with an unforgettable beach break on the Algarve coast. When you picture your perfect holiday, sun-drenched golden sands, rugged coastline and charming whitewashed towns probably spring to mind. But this beautiful region has plenty more to offer. Wander around the pedestrianised lanes of Faro's historic old town - the preserved medieval quarter boasts museums and churches. Or take an unforgettable day trip to the lagoons of Parque Natural de Ria Formosa. Then swap culture for action with a round of golf, surf lesson or extreme sports like kite surfing, rock climbing or wakeboarding.

When Quinton Coples was young, he dreamed of giving back to his community. He'll have that unique opportunity again beginning Friday when the former
"He always talked about giving back to the community, so this is his way of doing it," longtime friend DaMarcus Quinerly said. "He likes to see smiles on kids' faces when they come out to have a good time."
At the inaugural event in 2012, the event essentially consisted of a cookout and some activities in one afternoon in and around
"I wanted to do more this year," Coples said. "Last year was a great turnout but I wanted to make sure I spent more time this year giving back, branching out to every part of the city and touching every person I can. I want us to have fun, but I want it to be educational, as well."
The weekend of events kicks off Friday morning at the Teacher's Memorial gymnasium,
The organization's director, Bill Ellis, said his parks department is excited to be a part of the Quinton Coples Community Weekend.
"Quinton's always been a great young man, from high school through college and now into the pro's," Ellis said. "He's always cared about
At 6 p.m., Friday, a professional networking event at the Community Council of the Arts,
Saturday morning, there'll be a football and basketball camp hosted by Coples and friends at
Tickets for those games are $8 for adults and $5 for students; children under 5 will be admitted free.
Following the games is an after party at Olivia's at Frenchman's Creek; tickets are $10 for that event. According to Kurtis Stewart of Knightdale-based Millennium Sports Group, all proceeds raised by the networking event, the basketball games and the after party will go towards putting on future QC Community Weekends.
Sunday's cookout at Southeast,
Coples said he has a lot of good memories from the inaugural event a year ago.
"The kids running up to me and saying, 'What's up' and giving me a handshake meant a lot to me," Coples said. "But there was a serviceman who said he came a long way for his family to meet me, and I'll always remember him."
What impressed Coples the most though, was the hundreds of people who came to the cookout despite a torrential rainfall that threatened to cancel the event.
"Even with all the rain, all of those people that came and stood under tents were impactful to me," Coples said. "I will always treasure those moments."
While some professional athletes are content with simply donating money to organizations, Coples said that's simply not his way.
"No disrespect to those guys that write checks or give back that way, but the most important thing to me is being able to touch someone personally," he said. "Sometimes, just giving someone a handshake or a hug lets them realize that I was once in their shoes only a few years back.
"I hope it helps give people hope and a different outlook on life. That's the most important thing to me — being hands-on. I won't feel like it's been a successful weekend until I've shook someone's hand or I see someone smile. That fulfills me."
He credits his mother, Gail Coples, with inspiring the idea for the weekend — and his life.
"My mom is my everything," Coples said. "She's my backbone and introduced me to what's important in life. She taught me to work hard for everything. She raised me by herself so she was doing things I can only commend her for."
One thing he wants Kinstonians to know: the Quinton Coples Community Weekend is here to stay.
"As long as I have breath in my body, we're going to do this event," Coples said. "Even after I've retired, I'm still going to do this."

This is my all time favorite fragrance...was introduced to it in the '80s! Through out the years, I've tried others, but never found one that I liked better than "Salvador Dali"!

At the far end of our universe, on the twin planets of Werel and Yeowe, all humankind is divided into "assets" and "owners," tradition and liberation are at war, and freedom takes many forms. Here is a society as complex and troubled as any on our world, peopled with unforgettable characters struggling to become fully human. For the disgraced revolutionary Abberkam, the callow "space brat" Solly, the haughty soldier Teyeo, and the Ekumen historian and Hainish exile Havzhiva, freedom and duty both begin in the heart, and success as well as failure has its costs.
In this stunning collection of four intimately interconnected novellas, Ursula K. Le Guin returns to the great themes that have made her one of America's most honored and respected authors.
About the Author
Ursula K. Le Guin is the author of more than one hundred short stories, two collections of essays, four volumes of poetry, and nineteen novels. Her best-known fantasy works, the Earthsea books, have sold millions of copies in America and England, and have been translated into sixteen languages. Her first major work of science fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness, is considered epochmaking in the field because of its radical investigation of gender roles and its moral and literary complexity.
Three of Le Guin's books have been finalists for the American Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, and among the many honors her writing has received are the National Book Award, five Hugo Awards, five Nebula Awards, the Kafka Prize, a Pushcart Prize, and the Harold D. Vursell Award of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. She lives in Portland, Oregon.

Windows to Mac: Why did you switch?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 12/16/11 4:05 PM
Note to members: this is a touchy subject and I would like to keep this discussion civil and productive. Please be nice and respectful of all opinions and experiences. If you cannot play nice, please don't participate at all. Thanks! -Lee
Windows to Mac: Why did you switch?
Hi everyone. I used a Windows OS since before Windows 95. I made the switch to Mac OS X in 2009. I started with an iMac (that I still own) and purchased a MacBook Pro in 2011. I also have several iOS devices, including an iPad. My experience with Mac OS X has been great. I confess that I do run Windows 7 in Boot Camp (and Parallels) because I have some programs/devices with no Mac OSX equivalent. My questions are mainly for those of you who switched from Windows to Mac (but I welcome all input). Why did you switch? What has been your level of satisfaction on a scale of 1 (low) to 5 (high). Do you use Boot Camp (or a virtualization program) and why? What have you done to make your Mac OSX experience more enjoyable (software, apps, hardware). Looking forward to your comments. Thanks.
- Submitted by Aaron J.
**** Below is a Thank you note from member Aaron J. and his contribution to the discussion ****
Hi Guys and Happy Holidays,
Thanks to all who responded. You really came through with some great information and viewpoints that also reaffirmed my decision to switch. As Lee asked, everyone played nice. A healthy exchange of information is always on message and of course there are no
wrong answers.
IMO the common thread (I took from your responses) or motivation to switch revolved around the need for a more reliable platform with better integration of the OS and software and fewer perceived problems (i.e. viruses, system freezes, BSOD etc). The advanced Mac hardware designs are an added bonus! Some of you use Boot Camp or have found other work-arounds to fill the Windows gap (Fusion or Parallels, Google Docs) and that's great. Your comments speak volumes about Steve Jobs concept that if a company controls all aspects related to design, software development, integration, manufacture and even deployment (Apple Stores) that the end result is a superior product that fosters a better customer experience and that's hard to argue against. On the other hand there are some whose experience with Mac OS X was not what they expected (or cannot justify a switch) and therefore will stay with a Windows platform and that's O.K. Life is about choices and what best meets our specific needs.
As I said there is a lot of great information to digest but I want to call your attention to a few posts in particular. High Desert Charlie (Function Doesn't Justify Cost) for his commentary that always keeps the ship from capsizing. PaxKahuna (Switch 2 Apple... Here's Why) and Waytron (Why Did You Switch To Mac?) for providing the professionals point of view to make us think before we leap. Nrkmann-2008 (Macs vs. PC TCO) for interjecting Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as a way to justify buying an Apple product (or not) which although somewhat abstract is valid given the right circumstances. I know there are others worthy of mention so please read as many posts as you can.
My contribution to all of you is as follows:
• Mac's require maintenance just as PC's do but just not as often. I use CleanMyMac and Disk Warrior. Granted most of the functions performed by the products can be accomplished via Mac OS X Disk Utilities. However the programs mentioned
just make it easier. Lion OS X compatible.
• I also run Intego Internet Security Barrier X6 that includes a spam filter. Lion OS X compatible. While the number of Mac specific viruses and malware are very limited - they do exist. As the OS X platform becomes more popular the bad guys
will begin to target our beautiful machines. Also, running a Windows virtualization program (wherein you share Windows documents) opens your Mac to a cross-platform infection that may not harm your Mac, but could cause it to run slow.
• If you run Windows via Boot Camp (with IE, Adobe Flash, Outlook) that partition is vulnerable to Windows viruses, malware and spam. Therefore, I haveNorton Internet Security 2011 installed on my Boot Camp partition(s).
• Some of you are using Office for Mac and that's O.K. However, I encourage you to master iWorks. You can save an iWorks document in its Microsoft equivalent format if you need to send it to someone using a Windows PC. You can also export an
iWorks document to PDF if what you are sending does not require the recipient to have editing privileges.
In closing, I believe that Microsoft with its upcoming Windows 8 as a unified platform for all its future devices is an aggressive step in the right direction. IMO the success of Microsoft's Windows 8 (and future iterations) will be determined by how closely their
hardware and software partners are willing to work with them to share information and openly collaborate to build a superior product. I want Microsoft products to improve and continue to drive competition which in the long run is better for us all.
Conversely, Apple must continue to push the envelope as an innovator and offer products that justify the additional cost in a struggling economy so that their appeal is not lost to the average consumer. Additionally, seamless integration of Apple products across platforms/devices must continue to be a driving component of design and functionality. Finally, even with all the flash, razzle-dazzle, oohs and aah's associated with Apple products they must be practical and capable of going mainstream rather than devolving into a niche' market. That's all I have and Thanks again for participating!!
Aaron J.

While the title of the Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less program emphasizes food and exercise, what you drink is just as important.
Robin Seitz, extension agent for the Onslow County Cooperative Extension and the leader of the program, told participants on Thursday that it was time to "rethink the drink."
Seitz said that liquid calories can add up fast and are not as nourishing to our bodies.
"It is liquid calories vs. food calories — drinking orange juice vs. eating an orange. The orange is going to be more filling," she said. Soda, sports drinks, juice, milk and alcohol all have added calories. Twenty ounces of cola contains 17 teaspoons of sugar. The same size fruit drink has 18 teaspoons, the sports drink has 9.
"All that sugar means extra calories," Seitz said, noting that two cans of regular soda every day adds up to 109,500 calories, or 31 pounds.
She said that having sugary beverages throughout the day can also add up: 8 ounces of juice for breakfast, a medium mocha latte, 20 ounces of cola with lunch, 16 ounces of fruit drink for a break, 16 ounces of sweet tea with dinner and a beer before bed can add up to 1,370 calories a day.
One of Seitz's strategies for cutting out sugary, calorie-ridden beverages is to drink water, and lots of it.
"We don't naturally like water," she said. "We're used to having something sweet."
She explained that acclimating to drinking water is a process, and sometimes it takes baby steps. She suggested adding a splash of juice to water to give it a little more taste.
"You can also put water in a pitcher along with lemon, lime or oranges, and put it in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld together," she said.
Once participants learned to rethink their drink, it was time to move.
Dr. Sara Stroud, doctor of chiropractics with Freedom Chiropractic, led the group in some new exercises to add to the ones they learned Jan. 10.
One exercise involved hopping to the side, getting low and then reaching up, contracting the muscles to help with burning calories. She said that participants could modify the exercise by getting low and stepping to the side before reaching up, taking out the hop.
The other new exercise involved getting on the floor on all fours and stretching out your right arm and left leg at the same time, and then after doing 20 seconds of reps, switching sides. Stroud said that those who are not able to get down on the floor can modify the exercise by standing, holding the back of a chair, and raising your leg behind you, doing reps for 20 seconds, and then changing sides on the next set of reps.
Each of the exercises are part of Stroud's surge training where participants do an exercise for 20 seconds, rest for 20 seconds and repeat twice more before resting for two minutes and moving on to the next exercise.
Stroud said that the exercises may not seem like they are burning a lot of calories, but they get your heart rate up and make you sweat.
"If it's not hard, ramp it up," she said.
The next session of ESMMWL is Jan. 24. For more information about the program, visit ESMMWeighless.com or contact Robin Seitz at 910-455-5873.

John Legend Biography & News
John Legend Details

About John Legend
John Legend wins Golden Globe, Critics Choice Award
John Legend is having some kind of 2015. He just scored his very first Academy Award nomination for his "Selma" song "Glory," featuring Common, which is up for original song. He also recently earned both a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award for the same track, helped kick off this year's Sundance Film Festival, and announced he will perform at the Grammys on February 8.
The music video for "Glory" helped the song to enter the Billboard + Twitter Top Tracks chart. It garnered more than 291,000 U.S. views on Vevo on YouTube, which was 63 percent of its overall weekly streams.
In the midst of what has suddenly become a super busy awards season for the crooner, he's also taking time to focus on his new role as an artist ambassador for Unilever's Axe White Label Collective. The new program will follow Legend as he encourages five musicians to "#TakeTheLeap," per the campaign's hashtag, to be selected for a music-mentorship program that will be led by Legend himself. It also includes a showcase performance during South by Southwest (SXSW) in March.
Legend recently took part in a bit of a risque Valentine's Day shoot for GQ Magazine with his supermodel wife Chrissy Teigen. The couple are seen in various scenarios captured the fashion magazine, one of which prompted the headline "Forget Your Table Manners?" It was a reference to a photo in which Teigen lies provocatively on a restaurant table in nothing but a black leotard while Legend leans over her with his hands on his hips.
11/24/13: At 34 years old, John Legend is practically already an R&B legend. After all, he's claimed a hull of Grammys, has a list of awards and nominations too long to include here, and fans have clamored for new music from the superstar since his last album was released in 2008.
Ask and he shall deliver. Legend released "Love in the Future" on September 3, 2013, debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 while selling close to 70,000 copies in its first week. The project was executive produced (in part) by Kanye West, and features guest appearances from Kimbra, Rick Ross, Stacy Barthe and Seal. The lead single, "Who Do We Think We Are" was followed by "Made to Love" and "All of Me," which peaked at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 – the highest charting song from the album.
If there's one thing you didn't know about Legend, it's probably that he and West have actually been working together since 2001. Only the album's other executive producer – Dave Tozer – has worked with Legend for that stretch of time, and Legend recently told NPR it's because West is a generous collaborator and "really is obsessed with making great art."
Legend is currently out on the road on the "Made to Love Tour" with Tamar Fraxton. Two dates in New York City recently caused a buzz, and the trek won't wrap it's current North American run until early December. Legend will then head overseas, and has a run of dates in Australia and New Zealand that take him right into the holiday season.
Collaborations make John Legend a household name (Updated December 26, 2012)
Imagine becoming a successful singer-songwriter known not only for your own music, but for lending your voice and talent to other established artists. The path is tried and true for John Roger Stephens, better known by his stage name John Legend, whose career took off thanks to a series of collaborations with some of music's most well-known names.
Kanye West. Lauryn Hill. Jay-Z. Alicia Keys. They're just a few of the people who have worked with Legend to create chart-topping hits like "All of the Lights," "Everything is Everything," "Encore" and "You Don't Know My Name." It was a climb to the top that began when Legend was just a young man who played piano at age four and performed with his church choir by age seven. And by the time he finished college, he had a following from Boston all the way to Atlanta, his music touching most major cities along the northeast corridor.
Legend has three studio albums to his name, including his 2004 debut "Get Lifted," which reached the Top Five of the Billboard 200 and led to three Grammy Awards: Best R&B Album, Best R&B Male Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist. "Once Again," which peaked at No. 3 on the Billbaord 200 and No. 1 on the R&B/hip-hop Albums chart, followed in 2006. Two years later came "Evolver," which featured West, Brandy, Estelle and Andre 3000, among others.
Beyond his music career, Legend is known for his television appearances and commercials, plus a multitude of charitable endeavors. He was among the celebrities demanding change in U.S. gun laws in late 2012, and in 2013 will perform at the National Portrait Gallery as part of activities for the presidential inauguration. His next album is due in May.
