Connecticut short-term disability benefits are an invaluable resource for many growing families. Many workers who commute out of state automatically enjoy income replacement. However, what about those who work in the state?
Short-term disability insurance in CT provides the solution. A policy helps support income during the time an employee is unable to work because of a covered accident or sickness. Do not make the mistake of assuming that the state offers a program.
- Application forms and benefit calculations
- Covering pregnancy and maternity leave
- Connecticut laws regarding disability
Short-Term Disability Form CT
There are two types of CT short-term disability forms to complete. You must complete either a claims form, or a policy application form, or both. If you made the mistake of assuming the state provides a public program, a loan may be your best option. Get the cash you need to pay your bills while you are unable to work.
Apply for a short-term loan if you do not qualify to receive benefits.
Applying for Benefits
When applying for benefits the policyholder needs to complete the appropriate claims form. In most cases, the form needs to be filled signed by the claimant's doctor to certify the medical reason behind the disability. The claimant's employer also needs to sign the form to certify the loss of income. Fax the completed form to the insurance carrier's claims department.

The policy application needs to be completed with an insurance agent in order to get your policy in place. The policy must be in effect prior to the start of any disabling event. There is normally a twelve-month waiting period for any preexisting conditions.
CT Short-term Disability Benefits
CT does not offer state benefits. Personal short-term disability policies in Connecticut are designed to replace a portion of income during the time an employee is unable to work. The most common definition for a qualifying disability is that the employee is unable to perform the primary duties or his or her full-time occupation. This raises several questions about how short-term disability works in CT: what is a portion of income, and what medical conditions are covered?
Benefit Calculations
Every policy is different, and each company uses different rules and guidelines. But there are three common features that determine the benefit calculations: monthly amount, elimination period, and duration.
The monthly amount is calculated based upon the policyholder's monthly income. Most policies replace sixty to seventy percent of monthly income, up to a hard dollar cap. The hard dollar cap ranges from $5,000 per month, the $6,500 per month.
The elimination period describes the number of days the policyholder is continuously disabled before benefit payments begin. The payment duration means the length of time the monthly payment is made if continuously disabled.
How Short-term Disability Works for Childbirth
Connecticut short-term disability benefits most frequently come into play with growing families. Childbirth is a happy occasion, but one that comes with added expenses: bigger house, larger car, baby furniture, diapers, etc. The list of extra expenses is endless.
Two common scenarios often arise where this program makes an impact: during pregnancy complications, and when recovering from childbirth.
Pregnancy Bed Rest
Twenty five percent of women experience medical complications during pregnancy. Bed rest is a common prescription for this problem. Most employers do not provide paid leave.
Short-term disability for pregnancy in CT may replace mom's income if she leaves work prior to delivery. Her doctor must specify the medical reason the bed rest was needed. The policy must be purchased prior to conception. Pregnancy is considered a preexisting condition on all private policies sold in Connecticut.
Maternity Leave
CT short-term disability for maternity leave will replace income while mom recovers. All policies provide a standard benefit payment for normal childbirth: six weeks for a vaginal delivery, and eight weeks for a C-section birth.
One hundred percent of normal deliveries require mom to leave work to recover from childbirth. Postpartum disorders may delay mom's return to work, and may extend the amount of time payments are made.
Connecticut Disability Laws
Connecticut does not offer state short-term disability insurance. There are only five states with such coverage and two are neighboring states. If you commute to work in New York or Rhode Island, you may have coverage. These state disability plans pertains to workers not residents.
There is one Connecticut state law regarding disability insurance. It states that group disability policies may not contain an offset provision. An offset provision typically comes into play when a policyholder is collecting disability benefits through a private policy and Social Security Disability at the same time.
State law requires certain health insurance plans to cover infertility treatments. Couples undergoing any infertility treatment should purchase a short-term disability policy prior to their next cycle of treatment.
Connecticut laws regarding maternity leave provide job protection rights. However, income replacement during job leave is not required. Do not assume that a state program will take care of you while unable to work.
CT Disability Insurance for Employees
Short-term disability insurance in CT is sold only as a workplace employee benefit when coverage for normal childbirth is required. We manage a network of agent who can easily travel to your office location.
Some of the cities where agents are located include: Bridgeport, Bristol, Danbury, Enfield, Fairfield, Greenwich, Hamden, Hartford, Manchester, Meriden, Middletown, Milford, Milford, New Britain, New Haven, Norwalk, Southington, Stamford, Stratford, Wallingford, Waterbury, and West Haven

Since I installed Mandrake 10.0 (2.6.3), I'm having some trouble with my graphics. I have installed the drivers successfully (and someone helped me stop them from getting randomly corrupted occasionally at boot), but...with:
GeForce4 Ti-4200
Video Bios: 04.25.00.30.16
Pentium 4 2.4GHz
...anything that uses OpenGL (screensavers, TuxRacer, etc., etc.) pauses briefly about every two seconds (literally). With one exception: Screensaver previews (run using the Test button in the KDE Desktop Config tool) run as smoothly as you please. What in the world is going on here? :confused:

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) - Stephan Lewis ran for three fourth-quarter touchdowns Saturday to lead New Hampshire to a 35-24 come-from-behind victory over Massachusetts.
Lewis, who carried 25 times for 258 yards, had scoring runs of 2, 56 and 77 yards as New Hampshire (4-1, 2-2 Atlantic 10) erased a 24-14 UMass lead with 21 unanswered points. Lewis also caught a 49-yard pass for a touchdown with no time left in the first half.
Massachusetts (0-5, 0-3) led 28-24 when New Hampshire's Aaron Thomas intercepted a Matt Guice pass at his own 23. On the next play from scrimmage, Lewis ran 77 yards for the winning score.
UMass led 17-0 before Lewis caught a Hail Mary pass from Mike Granieri to end the first half.
The Minutemen were led by Guice, whose 63 attempts and 403 passing yards were both school records. Guice was intercepted four times.
Guice threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third. His 60-yard pass to Jimmie Howard gave UMass a 14-0 lead with 8:21 left in the second quarter. A 21-yard scoring pass to Neal Brown with 13:07 left in the fourth quarter gave UMass a 24-14 lead.
Lewis was named the recipient of the Bill Knight Trophy as the MVP of the New Hampshire/Massachusetts game for his outstanding efforts. The trophy is named after long-time UNH director of sports information, Bill Knight, who passed away at a young age following a bout with cancer. It was the second consecutive year that Lewis won the honor and the second consecutive victory over UMass for the Wildcats. Lewis's 258 rushing yards were a career-high for him and with that yardage he surpassed the 2000-yard career rushing mark. He now has 2,051.
In addition, redshirt freshman Mike Granieri threw the first two touchdowns passes of his career for the Wildcats.
On the defensive side of the football, freshman defensive back Aaron Thomas had two of four UNH interceptions on the afternoon. Both of his pick-offs stopped key UMass drives in the fourth quarter and set up a pair of Lewis touchdowns.
As a team, UNH has outscored its opponents by an 80-51 margin in the fourth quarter so far this season.

The most breathtaking element of Jim Calhoun's defense against accusations he committed major NCAA rules violations arrives under the heading of, "Virtually all impermissible benefits were provided after discovery of Nochimson's XXXXXXX."
As much as we might like to know what word or phrase was redacted from that sentence, such curiosity misses the point.
Everything we need to know is in the first half-dozen words:
"Virtually all impermissible benefits were provided."
This is going to be the most difficult element of the Connecticut athletic department's Friday visit to Indianapolis for its NCAA infractions committee hearing.
Among several allegations against the Connecticut basketball program, the NCAA charged Josh Nochimson, a former UConn student manager turned player agent, presented a Connecticut recruit known to be forward Nate Miles with about $14,000 worth of impermissible benefits. And Calhoun's defense insists all but about $500 of that came after he raised concerns about Nochimson's apparent relationship with Miles.
Let's say Calhoun position is 100 percent factual – that he reacted furiously when he noticed Nochimson's name on a document relating to Miles in November 2007 and counted upon his boss, athletic director Jeff Hathaway, UConn compliance and outside counsel Rick Evrard to ensure there was nothing untoward in this circumstance. Let's say he's precisely the frustrated, latent hero his defense presents him to be.
It really doesn't matter. Because right there in the text of his defense is the concession that nearly $14,000 – worth of cash, goods, favors, whatever – flowed from Nochimson, who would clearly be defined as a representative of UConn's athletic interests, to Miles, who would clearly be defined as a prospective student-athlete.
UConn has conceded, as well, impermissible benefits were provided by Nochimson, although the extreme redaction of its official report to the NCAA makes it unclear to whom they were provided and in what quantity. Calhoun has given us some context, some clarity.
So we can see it's not good for UConn. The school's announcement Friday it was placing itself on two years of probation, restricting some recruiting activity and removing one scholarship from the basketball program for each of two years would seem like fodder for an episode of "Community." Maybe it would be funny if presented in that context, by those writers.
Two scholarships for 14 grand? Even if that were the whole of the case against UConn, and it's not, the Huskies would appear to have missed the point of self-imposing a penalty. The idea is to hit yourself hard enough so the infractions committee might look at the bruises and take pity. Plucking a few stray eyebrow hairs isn't going to get that done.
Calhoun's defense, prepared by attorney Scott Tompsett of Kansas City, insists a lot of this difficulty could have been avoided if his superiors and colleagues in the UConn athletic department heeded his warnings and asked the necessary questions to receive the essential answers that would have kept all of this from turning into a colossal mess.
"Calhoun had every reason to believe that Hathaway and Evrard would do whatever was necessary to investigate" whether Miles had a relationship with Nochimson that ran counter to NCAA rules, his response said.
"Calhoun relied on them to tell him if there were any problems, and to guide him and his staff about compliance issues that had been brought to their attention. Neither Hathaway, Evrard nor any UConn compliance ever directed Calhoun to take any action … They also never indicated there were any problems."
Calhoun's power over the athletic department becomes obvious from his challenge to Hathaway's effectiveness in this matter -- and in UConn's decision, nonetheless, to stand with its coach in disputing the NCAA allegation he "failed to promote an atmosphere for compliance."
Even if he is cleared on that charge, it's going to be pretty near impossible for UConn to beat the rap on the 14 grand when both school and coach have admitted it occurred. A full confession? The NCAA has made cases on far less damning evidence.
So when the infractions committee issues its ruling in a couple of months, it might buy Calhoun's argument and determine he is not culpable for fostering all that occurred. That'll look better on his permanent record. As we've seen in so many other cases, though, the media and public aren't nearly so discerning when considering the aftermath of an NCAA rules case.
They tend to be governed by a simple axiom in such matters: Your program, your problem.

Mavs show versatility in latest victory
Joe Tietjen gave up just three hits and one run in five and two-thirds innings to lead Marvin Ridge to a 3-1 victory over Hopewell.
The Mavericks went 3-0 at the East Meck Spring Break Classic, and have now won 10 straight.
The Mavericks scored 25 runs over the first two games of the tournament.
"We won with our bats the first two days and today we got a great pitching performance by Joe," Mavericks coach Mark Mennitt said. "We played good defense, going back to the things we've been doing. I think we swung the bats well today. They made a lot of plays. ... Coming here prepares you for the rest of conference and keeps you ready to go. That's why we come and hopefully we continue to play well."
The Mavericks (13-2) got on the board in the top of the first inning when Jacob Henderson led off with a single, then stole second and third base.
When teammate Derek Smith stole second base after a one-out walk, the catcher threw unsuccessfully across the mound and the speedy
Henderson took home easily.
The Mavs added a run in the second when Zach Kuchmaner led off with a single. Two outs later Ben Peterson was hit by a pitch and then Henderson beat out an infield single to load the bases.
Jason Curtis delivered what proved to be the game-winning RBI with a single to left.
Tietjen held the Titans scoreless through the first five innings.
"I just needed to get ahead in the count. When you get ahead it makes a big difference," Tietjen said. "That's what I was working for, staying down in the zone. I was hitting with my first pitch curve balls."
Marvin Ridge added an insurance run in the top of the sixth inning when Zach Kuchmaner scored from third on a wild pitch after moving over from first on Kyle Corgan's two-out double — his only hit of the game but fourth of the tournament.
Hopewell inched closer when Ivan Acuna took the fourth pitch of the inning high over the left field wall to cut the lead to 3-1, but couldn't cross the plate again.
Mennitt was happy to see his team get back to its strong defensive play after giving up 10 runs in the first two games of the tournament.
"Defense can be constant, pitching you can throw strikes consistently, the offense is not always going to be there," Mennitt said. "I'd rather the defense and pitching to be there and know that it's there. If you can swing the bats on top of it, you have a chance to be special. Putting all three parts together, that is the key bottom line."
Tietjen played a big role for the Mavs offense when he wasn't on the mound in the first two games.
Tietjen went 5-for-10 at the plate in the tournament with a home run, double, six RBI and two runs scored.
"Honestly, I give the credit to the coaches," Tietjen said. "We put a lot of time in the cages. I got out there and was seeing the ball well and hope I can keep seeing the ball well."
Peterson was efficient in the tournament with a 5-for-7 week that included his first career homer, two RBI and three runs scored.
Kyle Corgan was 4-for-8 in the tourney with a grand slam, a double and five runs.
Max Wotell went 4-for-9 with a home run, double, two RBI and four runs; Henderson was 4-for-10 with three steals and five runs and Smith was 4-for-11 with five RBI, a double and three runs.
Mennitt likes the way his team is looking heading into the last three weeks of the regular season.
"I think we're healthy, I think we're focused and I think we're determined. I like our chances," Mennitt said. "We have a couple of big series coming up here and we're going to find out. That's why you play the game and I'm excited about it. I love our team, we have a good club and have great kids that our focused and have progressed."
The Mavs return to conference play on Tuesday at home against Porter Ridge in a battle between two undefeated SCC teams.

Road closed at Sutton Gault due to flooding
Posted: December 30, 2013|
A road outside the village of Sutton has been left submerged under water yesterday (December 30).
The road Sutton Gault Causeway, between The Anchor Inn and the Bedingham's Drove junction, has been closed since around 3pm after being flooded during a spell of bad weather.
Water levels in the River Ouse reached 3.06m yesterdat, according to the environment agency.
The low-lying Fenland village has been affected by flooding in the past, with the river bursting its banks in November last year.
Police have not attended the scene and have said it is not expected to cause many drivers disruption.
The Environment Agency issued a flood alert for the area known as the Hundred Foot Washes on Christmas Day.
In a statement issued today (Decmeber 31) a spokesperson said: "Due to high water levels there may be up to 13cm of flood water on the causeway at Sutton Gault in Cambridgeshire, and 30cm of flood water on the causeway at Welney in Norfolk. The uneven surface of the road may mean that water is deeper in places.
"The causeway at Earith currently has no issues. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates."

Alex Mills: More taxes heaped on oil, gas industry
Well, it's official. President Obama released his proposed budget for the 2014 fiscal year, and he has again proposed increasing taxes on the oil and gas industry.
Obama's proposed changes in the tax code are nothing new. However, there was some hope that his recent "all of the above" energy policy revelation and taking credit for the increase in oil production in the U.S. during the past three years might bring new light on his tax policy.
The irony of Obama's tax proposals is that he is specifically targeting oil and gas while other industries are left alone.
"The oil and gas industry is not the only one that benefits from similar tax provisions allowing rapid recovery of high-risk expenditures," according to an "Analysis of Legislative Proposals to Repeal Certain Tax Treatments of Domestic Oil and Gas Exploration and Development" by the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants in March 2011. "For example, mine exploration and development expenditures are generally deductible and research and experimentation Obama wants to:
Repeal expensing of intangible drilling costs
Repeal percentage depletion
Increase amortization period for geological and geophysical costs for independents to seven years
Repeal domestic manufacturing tax deduction.
The tax code allows independent oil and gas producers to deduct their costs of drilling a well that have no resale value in the year those costs occur. These are called "intangible costs" even though they are very tangible. They include such things as moving the drilling rig onto location, fuel, drilling expense, mud and water, cement and directional services. These costs can compose as much as 90 percent of the total upfront costs.
Percentage depletion is allowed for all natural resource production, but only oil and gas has restrictions. Percentage depletion was repealed in 1975 for all oil and gas producers, except small independents and royalty owners.
Even the manufacturing tax deduction is available to all companies through the American Job Creation Act of 2004, which allows a 9 percent tax deduction from net income for businesses engaged in manufacturing a product in the U.S. It is designed to encourage domestic manufacturing by helping to provide a competitive advantage to U.S. companies. Already, oil and gas companies have a reduced advantage as they only receive a 6 percent reduction while other companies get 9 percent. Obama wants to reduce the deduction to zero.
These tax provisions are not subsidies. The federal government does not write a check to the oil and gas companies that are able to use these provisions in the tax code.
Obama keeps insisting that taxpayers must pay their "fair share." According to a recent USA Today study, three oil companies were listed in the top 10 federal tax payers: Exxon Mobil at $31 billion, Chevron at $20 billion and ConocoPhillips at $8 billion. Their total in taxes was more than the other seven combined.
Exxon Mobil paid more than $242 billion in income taxes since 1999, which is 68.8 percent of its profits (approximately $350 billion) during the same period.
The president's tax policy and his "all of the above" energy policy are in direct conflict.
This, obviously, is not the first time the industry has had to explain why these provisions in the tax code.
Buzz words such as "subsidies" and "loopholes" have been thrown around by politicians for decades who pound their chests and cry for more taxes from the oil and gas industry.

4 squadrons stand down after pilots' deaths
Investigations into cause of the crash of a T-34 continue
Flight operations ceased Monday for all four squadrons in Training Air Wing Four at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi because of Friday's crash of a T-34 that killed an instructor and a student.
The squadrons, including Training Squadron 27, to which the T-34 was assigned, did not conduct flight operations because of a safety stand-down, said Lt. j.g. Sean Robertson, spokesman for the Chief of Naval Air Training. Safety stand-downs are standard procedure after training incidents to reinforce safety measures.
"VT-27 will resume flight operations after a memorial service on Wednesday," Robertson said. "The other squadrons will resume operations (today)."
Friday's crash, off Yorktown Boulevard three miles south of the base, is the second incident this month involving a T-34 from NAS Corpus Christi. An instructor and student were also involved in the previous crash, on Jan. 12 in a field in Flour Bluff. Both escaped unscathed.
Two investigations continue into the Jan. 12 crash. The safety and legal investigations, conducted by the Naval Safety Center, typically take two to three months and are conducted to determine the cause, said Robert Stanley, chief mishap investigator for the center.
"A safety investigation is done with the purpose to prevent reoccurrence," Stanley said. "Then, there's a legal investigation in case the incident stemmed from manufacturer malfunction, for example. Both find the cause, but for different reasons."
An investigator with the center has been investigating the latest crash since Friday and Stanley said there was nothing to report Monday because the investigation is new.
According to the Navy Safety Center, the Navy has had eight Class A incidents and seven fatalities from Oct. 1 to Jan. 25. Class A incidents are defined as incidents involving at least $1 million in damages and a fatality or both. The statistics do not indicate whether the incidents were during training or missions.
In fiscal year 2005, the Navy had 15 Class A incidents and seven fatalities, according to the center. Since 2003, the Department of Defense has challenged military departments to reduce mishaps by 50 percent by October 2005. The Navy achieved an average 23 percent reduction, according to a November 2005 letter to the Navy by Connie K. DeWitte, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy (safety).

New QBs audition at WVU
MORGANTOWN -- Third-season West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen has been saying it all spring, and Saturday his players proved him accurate as the defensive Blue team throttled the offensive Gold 41-33 in the annual intra-squad scrimmage.
The winner's points -- scored on three-and-outs, stopped drives and interceptions -- were not as important as the individual battles, most notably at quarterback where rising junior Paul Millard and redshirt freshman Ford Childress have been dueling. True freshman Chavas Rawlins is also part of the fight, but he did not play Saturday.
Millard was 16 of 27 for 185 yards and three touchdowns. Childress was 14 of 21 for 169 yards and one touchdown.
Each player is fighting for the chance to replace Geno Smith, who set WVU career passing yardage, completions, attempts, touchdowns and total offense records.
"Not only are we not ready to name a starter at quarterback, we're not ready to do that at about 20 other positions," said Holgorsen.
Holgorsen, who watched from behind the offensive and defensive huddles, and offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson alternated the two quarterbacks in a scrimmage that was broken down into four 10-minute quarters with a running clock.
Millard hit 5-foot-7 Jordan Thompson, who grabbed three touchdowns on the day, with a 10-yard scoring toss; found junior-college transfer Kevin White for a 46-yard TD strike and came back for a 24-yard touchdown to Thompson.
Meanwhile, Childress got the offensive scoring started when he combined with Thompson for a 65-yard bomb with 7:36 showing in the first half.
New kicker Josh Lambert contributed extra points after the four touchdown passes. Lambert also had field goals of 39 and 47 yards.
Thompson caught six passes for 123 yards, a welcome sight for Holgorsen after the departures of dominating receivers Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin.
White caught five passes for 72 yards. Connor Arlia of Weirton caught four for 39 yards and freshman Daikiel Shorts grabbed four for 31 yards.
"(Thompson) had a good game last spring, too. He will go down in the history books as the greatest spring-game player of all-time," said Holgorsen with a laugh. "Until he plays like that in a game, we're going to call it like it is. I haven't seen him play like that in a game yet. Until he does that in a game, we're not going to talk about it."
As Holgorsen works in a new quarterback for the season's first game, Aug. 31, at home against William & Mary, a renewed ground game could help, too.
Dustin Garrison, who rushed for 207 yards last season as he continued to recover from knee surgery led all rushers with 51 yards on seven carries. Junior-college transfer Dreamius Smith carried seven times for 38 yards and true freshman Wendell Smallwood ran seven times for 25 yards.
"It felt great," said Garrison. "That was really my first time performing in front of everyone again, and it's just fun. It's just fun to be back out there and not have to worry about my knee hurting or making a play or anything like that. It just feels great to just go out there and be 100 percent carefree about it."
Starters Andrew Buie (running back), Pat Eger (center) and Isaiah Bruce (linebacker) were held out of action because of injuries.
As Holgorsen seeks a starting quarterback and productive receivers, he is also looking for improvement from a defense that finished 114th in points allowed and 108th in yards allowed in 2012. Toward that end, seven Mountaineers registered four or more tackles, led by Sean Walters and Shaq Petteway with five each.
Kyle Rose had two sacks, K.J. Dillon broke up two passes and Travis Bell added an interception

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
After being inserted into the lineup as a hitter for the first time this season, Cal State Northridge sophomore pitcher/designated hitter Kyle Ferramola was named the Big West Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday. In five games this week, Ferramola went 4-for-9 at the plate with a triple, two home runs, four RBIs, helping the Matadors go 4-1 with a four-game sweep over Utah Valley University.
Ferramola entered last Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter against CSU Bakersfield and drew a walk in his only appearance. He then cracked the starting lineup as the DH on Friday against Utah Valley and immediately produced for the Matadors.
In his first at-bat of the season, Ferramola hit a two-run triple off the right field wall to tie the game at two runs apiece. He scored the eventual winning run later in the inning as the Matadors took the first game 8-2.
After sitting out the first game of a doubleheader on Satuday, Ferramola continued his onslaught in the second game. He went 2-for-4 at the plate with a pair of solo home runs, his first two of his collegiate career. When asked about his performance, Ferramola noted it was his first multiple home run game since playing in Little League. His homer in the bottom of the eighth broke a 4-4 tie and gave the Matadors a doubleheader sweep.
In Sunday's finale, Ferramola was kept hitless but drew a pair of walks and scored the game-winning run for CSUN. Overall, he had three game-winning runs and a game-winning RBI this week.
In total, Ferramola hit .444, had a .615 on-base percentage and wracked up a slugging percentage of 1.333. The Matadors have now won four straight games for the first time this season.

Anyone who has labored to upload a collection of photos from their phones to their computers, or begged and pleaded friends for pictures knows that transferring photos between devices can be a major hassle.
Adobe hopes to change this with Carousel, a new application released Sept. 7. The software will automatically sync photos between a computer, a phone, and a tablet. It is subscription based, but users can share it with up to five friends, who will also have full access to all its features, and who will automatically share any photos with you that they upload.
The application is both cloud- and local- based, meaning that photos are shared through devices through the Internet, but users still keep the original photos on their computers.
When a user uploads an image, it appears almost instantaneously on all other devices signed into its collection. In a demonstration of the service there was very little noticeable load time, although the presenter noted that load times will change based on image size, and on how good a user's Internet connection is. Uploading requires no plugging in, no syncing devices, and no tricks or long procedures.
He also mentioned that there is no limit to file sizes, but image types are restricted to JPG (which is the default for most devices outside professional DSLR cameras). Once photos are up in the cloud, the subscriber, or any of the five friends they can pass the service to, can download the full images.
Adobe took a minimalist approach to designing Carousel, wanting to eliminate what they dubbed the "pain points." As stated in an early presentation of the software, their key goal was to do anything but develop a "new kind of pain for people." The idea here is simplicity, and Adobe has done a fine job at it.
The application shares nearly the same interface between any device it is used on, with the only difference found in sizing to make it usable between phones and other small devices. The interface itself is just rows of images on a dark background. Each row represents the day the photo collection was uploaded, and scrolling between these can be done with either a finger swipe or by the scroll of a mouse.
There are only a few buttons found on the entire interface. Adobe threw out all star and color rating buttons, and includes only one, simple button for users to mark which images they like.
Users can also choose to edit their images within Carousel, which brings up three different buttons: Looks, Adjustments, and Crop & Rotate.
The photo editing features are surprisingly thorough for what looks like a light application and shares some similarities to Adobe Lightroom. Users have access to all the essential tools to adjust color, correct lighting, and rotate images. The features are also available to users on iPhones or iPads, since all the adjustment tools are based on sliding bars.
There are also editing presets that let users automatically add some of the more popular edits to their photos—such as black and white, the aged look, or more vibrant or dream-like options. All edits are also nondestructive, meaning they do not alter the original image. Users can undo any edits instantly.
Sharing is also one of the main features of Carousel, allowing users to instantly upload images to Facebook or Twitter.
As mentioned earlier, the software is subscription-based (one of the few drawbacks, in my opinion). Early adopters will get it for $5.99 a month, or $59.99 a year, but those who come in later will need to pay $9.99 a month, or $99.99 a year.To make the subscription model a bit more attractive, users can upload an unlimited number of photos, and Adobe offers a complimentary 30-day trial to anyone interested in giving it a shot—which is enough time to last for any vacation, and the slow return to society stage that inevitably follows.
Currently, Carousel is only available for the Mac, iPhone, and iPad, but Adobe will open this up to Windows and Android platforms in 2012.

Yellow Jackets pin down county victory
Pins decided all 12 contested matches, with Lee County earning seven of them, as the Yellow Jackets beat county-rival Southern Lee 48-36 Wednesday night in the first-ever dual which was a conference dual between the Jackets and Cavaliers.
Zachary Thomas (106), Carson Blackburn (120), Karson Cole (126), Lorenzo McLean (132), Dalton Messer (145), William Shoop (160) and Aaron Coley (170), along with one forfeited win, gave the Yellow Jackets the victory, taking their Cape Fear Valley mark to 2-1 with three CFVC matches to go.
The Cavaliers, starting with the 220-pound match, got the first victory of the night with Ben Long pinning Eric Dotson 1:00 into the first period.
The Cavs forfeited the heavyweight match and starting at 106 pounds the Yellow Jackets won four of the next five classes.
Thomas needed just 30 seconds to turn a headlock into a victory. Blackburn led 5-2 after the first period and finished with a pin in the first minute of the second period taking his season record to 11-6.
Cole, in 1:16 off the clock, and McLean, beating the first-period buzzer by a second, won their matches in the first period. Lee County led 30-12 following McLean's win.
At 113, Anthony Brown's pin with 0:56 left in the third period was the lone Cavalier win during the Yellow Jacket run. Brown improves to a 16-6 season record.
At 145, Messer, a Jacket junior, was done and victorious practically before he started with a pin in 0:19.
The Cavs answered with Antwone Lutterloh winning via a second-period pin, with 0:13 left in the period, versus Jacob Gunter after the two were tied, 4-4, after one period. The Yellow Jackets led 36-24 at that point.
Lee County clinched the victory in the next two contests.
Shoop had a long near-fall to end the first period, as part of gaining a 5-0 lead, then won with a pin with 1:12 left in the second. Shoop is 6-0 on the season.
At 170, Coley led 7-2 before getting a pin with 1:01 left in the second period, mathematically finishing the Yellow Jacket victory.
The last two weight classes were still heated contests and the Cavaliers getting the last two pins.
Jonathan McCullen improved to an 18-4 individual mark, leading the whole way despite being cut and being hit with two penalties, with a pin late in the second period.
Sean Giles led 6-3 after a period and won with a pin with 0:57 left in the second.

The redesigned Dye Meta Glove for 2010. One thing we do is listen to our professional players. The pros wanted a glove that wasn't a glove. They wanted all the protection of a glove, without the interference of having their fingers covered. By having your fingers covered, you actually lose agility and speed when rolling the trigger. Our new Meta Glove combines the best of both worlds. A lightweight, unhindered fingerless glove design that offers protection on the back of the hand and palm, and features a supportive wrist closure. The Meta Glove is like a second skin, so comfortable that you will almost forget you're wearing it at all.

Cook named ACC Co-Player of the Week
The Quinn-sanity keeps on getting crazier.
After earning the Battle 4 Atlantis Most Outstanding Player award, leading the Blue Devils to the tournament championship, Quinn Cook has been named the ACC Co-Player of the Week, sharing the honors with Virginia Tech's Erick Green.
In Duke's three wins against Minnesota, VCU and Louisville, Cook averaged 13.7 points, 6.3 assists and 2.0 steals per game. In the Blue Devils 76-71 win against then-No. 2 Louisville in the championship game of the Battle 4 Atlantis, he scored Duke's last eight points including a silky runner in the lane with 29 seconds left to extend Duke's lead to two possessions. He then hit two free throws on back-to-back possessions to ice the game.
Cook, now a sophomore, earned the ACC Rookie of the Week award twice last year but was never earned the conference's Player of the Week.

It may have been somewhat of a surprise to see 16-year-old Columbian Hayley Carter win this years Family Circle Cup junior championship and earn a wild card into the Family Circle Cups qualifying tournament, considering the number of highly touted juniors who participated in the February event.
But Belton followers know all about the big-hitting young woman. Shes been winning Palmetto Junior Championships almost from the time she outgrew the net. Carter swept Belton again this past week, winning both singles and doubles in girls 18 to break the girls record of 13 overall titles set from 1984-91 by Janice Durden, a Charleston junior who later was an All-American at Clemson.
With 14 titles and another year of eligibility still remaining at Belton, the 5-10 Carter can surpass the overall record of 15 titles by former Charleston junior Ryan Young, another former Clemson All-American.
Fenno, Navarro winBrant Fenno and Emma Navarro in 12-and-under boys and girls were the only regulation-court singles champions from Charleston in the recently completed Palmetto Junior Championships. William Ross won the small-court Quick Start boys 10 singles competition.

(AP) NEW YORK - Fred Armisen has confirmed he has left "Saturday Night Live" after 11 years.
Armisen dispelled any doubt about his exit in an interview posted Monday by comedy website Splitsider.
"SNL" often doesn't announce its cast changes, but the show's season finale in May concluded with a farewell for Armisen and Bill Hader.
Armisen says he felt as though his departure from "SNL" was "obvious" considering in his last sketch he sang "It's been a lovely night with you" as British punk rock character Ian Rubbish. He was accompanied by several friends and musicians including Carrie Brownstein, his co-star on the IFC sketch show "Portlandia."
Armisen says he left partly because "Portlandia" was demanding more time and because "it felt like a very healthy, good time to do it."

Race, Gender and Immigration
From Social Justice Wiki
-Aleksandra Todorova, Nanny Nightmares
Race, Gender, and Immigration
From the founding of the country until the mid-twentieth century, domestic work was the largest female occupation in the United States. The1870 census reported that 52 percent of employed women worked in "domestic and personal service," probably the normal level from the time of the Revolution until the end of the nineteenth century (when 1.5 million women listed the job). The proportion declined to 28 percent of employed women in 1920 and 18 percent in 1940, the last time the job led the list of women's occupations. After World War II, the percentage declined rapidly to 5.1 percent in 1970 and 2.5 percent in 1980. Women stopped being domestics because new jobs, especially clerical work, appeared. (Dudden)
Domestic work remained a low-status job and became increasingly identified with women of color, as African-American, Mexican-American, and American Indian women migrated from rural to urban centers and white women moved into other occupations. In 1920, 46 percent of African-American women workers were domestic workers; in 1930, 53 percent; and in 1940, 60 percent. (Even when industrial and clerical jobs opened up further during World War II, it was mostly white women who increasingly escaped domestic work, so that by 1944, black women made up over 60 percent of all domestic workers.) The percentage of Black women in domestic service increased in northern households, from 9 percent in 1910 to 19 percent in 1920. By 1930 Black women dominated the occupation in northern cities. (Katzman)
Racial discrimination against Mexicans and Mexican Americans throughout the West and Southwest, and Asians in California and the Pacific Northwest, forced people of color into similar positions because they had no other options. Domestic service continues to attract women with few other employment options; since the 1980s Latina immigrant women have constituted the largest category of women entering the occupation. The demand for household workers continues to increase in response to middle- and upper-class women working outside the home. Ironically their entry into the work force as a result of the second wave of feminism has been made possible by the exploitation of poor women of color. (Romero)
Legal Issues
Each year, thousands of domestic workers enter the United States. Most of these domestic workers—who are overwhelmingly female—come from underdeveloped countries in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Although all workers, both documented and undocumented, are protected by U.S. labor laws, it is not uncommon to hear reports of domestic workers being paid 50 cents or a dollar an hour or, in some cases, not at all. (Maid to Order)
In 2001, Human Rights Watch published a report on the abuse that domestic workers face in the U.S. In the cases Human Rights Watch reviewed, the average hourly wage was $2.14, and the average workday was fourteen hours. Most of the workers were not allowed to leave their employers' homes without permission, and most were only allowed to leave on their one day off per week. "Often these employers come from a powerful, elite class, and they are abusing the rights of some of the most powerless," said Carol Pier, researcher for the U.S. Program of Human Rights Watch and author of the report. "This is a serious human rights abuse in the United States, but it has remained largely hidden from public view. This has to stop." (Human Rights Watch)
The report, "Hidden in the Home: Abuse of Domestic Workers with Special Visas in the United States," criticizes the structure of the special visa programs that allow these workers to enter the U.S. No government department or agency monitors the migrant domestic worker visa programs. No laws establish specific employment conditions that must be provided these workers. Unless these workers publicly complain about employer abuse, they are ignored by the U.S. government. (Human Rights Watch) Typically, if the domestic worker complains about her work conditions, her employer threatens to send her home or call the police or INS. Ironically, because the domestic worker is in the U.S. on an employment-based visa, the moment she runs away from her employer, she is immediately considered "out of status," ineligible for other employment and liable for deportation. (Maid to Order)
Domestic workers' legal powerlessness comes from their exclusion from New Deal laws, such as the Wagner Act (1935), the Social Security Act (1935), and the Fair Labor Standards Act (1937). Domestic workers were denied protections for union organizing, retirement and unemployment insurance, and maximum hour and minimum wage regulation. They did not gain Social Security retirement coverage until 1951, and they came under Fair Labor Standards protection only in 1974. (Palmer)
Current legal issues arise despite the attempts to commercialize the occupation through agencies acting as intermediaries, domestic service operates increasingly in the underground economy, ignoring minimum-wage and social security legislation. In 1993 "Nannygate" represented the first national scandal over household labor. Zoe Baird was nominated by President Clinton for U.S. attorney general. She was forced to withdraw from consideration because of the controversy that emerged over the fact that she had hired an undocumented housekeeper and failed to pay the woman's social security tax or unemployment insurance. Since then, federal nominees are questioned about their employment of household workers. Nannygate involved two issues: 1) the hiring of an undocumented worker during a period when it was illegal for an employer to do so, and 2) the failure to pay social security and taxes. These issues remain in the political arena. The scandal served to expose routine practices of the middle classes who hire undocumented household workers at the lowest possible wage scale. (Maid to Order)

Jersey Shore
Where Will Sammi and Ronnie Be in 20 Years? Sammi Says… (VIDEO)
It's hard to believe, but Jersey Shore is really and truly ending next Thursday, December 20. So what will the cast do with themselves once their show is done? Celebuzz caught up with Sammi to get the answer to this very question in a recent video interview.
Sammi dished on where she thinks her castmates will be in 20 years, and there were definitely some common themes.
"Mike will still be living at home with his family, and his brothers, being a bachelor." Sammi declared. Another person she thinks will be living with the fam? Vinny!
Snooki, on the other hand, "will probably be having, like, 10 kids running around all over the place." Sammi thinks that Deena will "also have 20 million babies," and JWOWW "will be doing her thing, and also have babies."
Sam was sadly more reluctant to declare anything about her future, saying only "you never know what the future will bring for me and Ron," and adding "I would like kids one day, not anytime soon."

Adium Question
1 Attachment(s)
Bah; I've failed. I try to pride myself on knowing so very much about my own computer, but I have an adium problem/question: I have some new buddies on my...um...buddy list, and it has put them in the wrong catagory. So i've tried to move it to the folder I want and I get this message (see attached). I don't have THAT many buddies, I could go through and delete ones that i never talk to anymore, but I'd prefer another way. ichat (on the other hand) keeps them fine. Any thoughts?
ps (the blurred part is a guys screen name, and I feel I should protect him. haha)
Are the buddies you are trying to add on AIM? If you have too many old buddies and even blocked buddies on your AIM list, AIM will give you that message. The only way I have found is to get the real AIM program and zap the unwanted buddies off the list. Then you can add new ones. I forget what the limit is for buddies but maybe 150. I don't know if Adium will zap the buddies off the AIM server or not. Never tried it, but I know that will Trillian on the PC, I had to use the real AIM program or it would not clear the list.
If you are using AIM that is probably the problem.
The people I've added are on aim. I should probably go through and purge out the ones I don't need. I have no where near 100 buddies. The people work fine, though, they just can't move to the folder I want.
Thanks, though.
Well, I just tossed out the whole adium thing and started over. Now everything is in it's place and everything is where it should be... Hassle? yes. Worth it, to be organized? yes.
I get that allllllll the time I've gotten sooo tired of it I use aim 4.7 to add buddies but adium to chat. From what I no they still havn't fixed this.
lol i should stay organized.. my messenger has my family in my buddiess my buddies in my coworks and what ever i have around 300 buddies... i to like 20 of them and those i dont have on my budddylist except for under the recent buddies section
Well, I just uber deleted adium (every file and every file that even lookeed like it might have to do with adium, 'cause i was that angry ahaha)but i installed it again and everything is dandy.

Our Mission
CityMusic is a community-based organization dedicated to presenting the greater Columbus community with unique cultural and educational experiences in the musical arts. CityMusic's mission is to expand the musical horizons of Central Ohio residents by presenting diverse music performances and to provide musical outreach to at-risk children and young adults in and around the Short North district through choral training, workshops and community performances with professional musicians.
To fulfill this mission, CityMusic operates the MORE program, and the CityMusic Presents Concert Series.
Musical Opportunities Reward Everyone (MORE), formed in 1990 in partnership with the Godman Guild, a United Way agency, is CityMusic's community outreach program. Through M.O.R.E. inner city youth are introduced to diverse musical genres and methods as well as a variety of professional artistic role models. M.O.R.E. programs include after-school music workshops and a summer music program at Camp Mary Orton.
CityMusic History
For over a quarter century, CityMusic has worked to bring live chamber and world music to Columbus, creating unique experiences in uncommon settings and sharing the joy of live music with audiences.
CityMusic got its start in 1983 when Artistic Director and Founder Steve Rosenberg, in collaboration with community members, performed an informal concert with the Quantz Trio in the Short North Tavern on High Street. The non-traditional venue offered a uniquely casual, friendly environment and the concert was a standing-room-only success. Live chamber music became a regular occurrence at the Tavern and from there evolved into the CityMusic Chamber Music Series which was presented in the space for seventeen years. From the Short North Tavern, the Series moved to the historic Elevator Brewery and Draught Haus and recently has taken up residence in the Grand Ballroom of the Athletic Club of Columbus
The series has received national recognition, including a feature article in Chamber Music magazine, for its innovative approach to presenting chamber music. Artists who have appeared in the Chamber Music Series include Paul Galbraith, the Jacque Thibaud String Trio, Cavani String Quartet, Stas Venglevski, and the Polonsky family.
CityMusic (formerly the Short North Performing Arts Association, Inc.) received non-profit status in 1987 and two years later expanded its offerings to include the World Music Series, designed to be a musical celebration of ethnic and cultural diversity. The World Music Series is the only Central Ohio series devoted exclusively to presenting the best in traditional and contemporary world and folk music.
The Columbus Dispatch lauded the series for "consistently presenting the finest in folk music spanning the world." In 1995 the Greater Columbus Arts Council nominated the series for its Artistic Excellence Award, citing CityMusic's "innovation and risk….as well as artistic merit."

When calculating total cost of ownership (TCO), it is important to look beyond the straightforward maintenance costs. For example, when a primary storage system fails, the time it takes to rebuild the data can be quantified in lost dollars. As ZDNet writer Steven Vaughan-Nichols recently noted, redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is a popular choice for adding infrastructure redundancy. However, RAID technology comes with several caveats.
As cloud storage companies build in better uptime guarantees, even a few hours of downtime translates to lost money—whether it takes the form of reimbursing customers for broken promises or losing customers due to cancellations. Vaughan-Nichols identified two core problems with existing technology:
Particularly as data volumes increase, improving these metrics will be crucial to maintaining low TCO. It may not be straightforward to plan for the cost of a disaster, but data center operators can minimize risk by improving recovery metrics as much as possible.
RAID operational problems
Traditional RAID recovery operates by using the data on active drives to recover the failed drive. This process is not only slow but may damage data integrity—something that businesses can't sacrifice. The traditional recovery process also has a negative impact on overall system performance because it forces many drives into a long read/write cycle.
Ignore the Impending RAID Catastrophe at Your Own Risk by Dragon Slayer Consulting via Amplidata provides an in-depth look at the problems associated with traditional RAID technology in their white paper titled "Ignore the Impending RAID Catastrophe at Your Own Risk". When capacities were in gigabytes instead of terabytes, rebuilds took a few minutes and didn't cripple performance. According to Dragon Slayer, rebuilding a 2TB hard drive in a RAID-5 group could take between 50 and 60 hours—even when given a high priority.
"But high prioritization reduces storage system performance by as much as 50% or more. Few IT organizations can tolerate that much storage system performance reduction for two and a half days," as Marc Staimer of Dragon Slayer suggests. "Therefore, rebuild prioritization is often set as a background task reducing that performance penalty to more tolerable levels. While this eliminates most of the negative performance impact on the storage system, it also lengthens that rebuild time by as much as 7×, or 700%, to more than two weeks."
Lengthy downtime presents challenges on its own, but there is another issue associated with RAID technology: it presents a significant threat to data integrity. The traditional recovery process puts extra strain on the other drives in the same system. Dragon Slayer observes, too, that this makes it more likely that another piece of hardware will fail while data is being recovered.
Seagate RAID Rebuild technology
To combat the common pain points associated with the recovery process, Seagate RAID Rebuild technology takes a different approach. Rather than first attempting to rebuild data from existing drives, Seagate RAID Rebuild technology extracts as much data as possible from the failed drive and then initiates RAID recovery. This process is not only significantly faster, but puts less pressure on the rest of the system. The net result is that both problems ZDNet touched on are reduced along with a third core metric: reduced risk of secondary failure.
Although Seagate RAID Rebuild technology can't extract data from a drive with no functional heads, a successful partial copy lowers recovery time significantly while also reducing the burden on the rest of the system. Because data is better protected and downtime is lessened, the technology reduces overall TCO.

Did you ever make your private porn video? Czech boys do it for cash. Real. Public. Authentic. 100%!
Train stations have always been one of my favorite hunting areas. First of all they are crowded usually with lots of young guys. And then again they sometimes still offer remote places to have thrilling sex right at a station. But the cold and rainy Czech autumn has changed my plans a bit. However, just when I arrived there I already offered a well-dressed guy 1.000 crowns to show me his "crown-jewels". He agreed, a good omen. But then again he was quite aggressive when I asked him for more. Anyway, I usually never give up before I get what I want. And a few hours later I met my "man of the day". A bit shy but still very attracted by my immoral offers. And definitely willing to perform.

Part II:
Making Transportation More Efficient
Recommended transportation initiatives for New York City:
Ride Sharing. Several ride sharing systems already allow New York area residents to share cars and find carpool and van pool partners. The proposed Smart Jitney program would create a new nationwide transport system, using cell phones to match drivers with riders via a tracking and scheduling database to be modeled after the nation's airline and automobile reservation systems. [24]
3. Out of cars and onto mass transit
The risk of truck dependence. Nearly 99% of good shipped to the City arrive by truck, and the Federal Highway Administration expects regional truck traffic to rise 50% by 2020. [32] Anything interfering with the stream of trucks carrying food and other goods into the City would cause major problems. Diverting some of this transportation load to freight trains would not only reduce pollution and congestion, but would reduce vulnerability to fuel shocks.
The future of transport: electric trains, streetcars and light rail. In 2002 two-thirds of U.S. oil consumption was used for transportation. Railroads are perhaps 8 times more energy efficient than heavy trucks. Electric trains are cheaper to operate than liquid fuel-powered vehicles and can carry more freight because they can accelerate and break faster and have no delays for refueling. The switch from railroad to trucking, facilitated by cheap oil prices, will probably reverse as oil becomes more expensive. Electric streetcar systems have been launched in many U.S. cities. [34] Grid-powered rail may replace internal combustion-powered individual cars and trucks as our main form of transportation – if we begin building those systems now. [35]

Marshall must win
HUNTINGTON -- When the Marshall University football team takes the field Friday, senior wide receiver Antavious Wilson knows he could be lining up for the final time.
He plans to do whatever he can to make sure it isn't his last time on the field.
Marshall (5-6, 4-3 Conference USA) plays a 2 p.m., Friday game at East Carolina (7-4, 6-1) televised on the CBS College Sports Network, which is Ch. 174 on Huntington cable.
Win, and become eligible for a bowl game. Lose, and the season ends.
"This one being my last one, it's a must that we get this win," Wilson said. "We've got to get it done any way possible. Anything we have to do, we're going to do. We don't want this to end yet."
Wilson is enjoying a resurgent season during his senior campaign -- a complete bounce-back after his 2011 season didn't go as anticipated with injuries and adversity.
This season, Wilson has 62 catches for 698 yards and six touchdowns.
The 62 catches and six touchdowns are both single-season highs for Wilson, and he needs just 26 receiving yards to eclipse his personal single-season mark of 726 set in his freshman year.
Possibly the bigger picture, though, is that Wilson has done a great job of shaking off a 2011 season in which he caught just 29 passes for 462 yards and one touchdown while battling a knee injury.
On this Thanksgiving Day, Wilson is thankful he had one more chance to perform at a top level.
"It means a lot to me, knowing that last year I didn't do that well because of my knee injury," Wilson said. "Not trying to use that as an excuse, but I worked hard in the offseason to prepare for a big season like I'm having this season."
Wilson also knows that he and the other receivers are going to have to step up and have another big game against East Carolina to ensure that it isn't their last time on the field together.
He saw the looks on the faces of East Carolina's seniors as they walked off of the turf at Joan C. Edwards Stadium last year following the Thundering Herd's 34-27 overtime win.
It's embedded in his brain. And, it's not something he wants to experience Friday.
"I know they are going to do the same thing to us -- try and keep us from getting a bowl game," Wilson said. "We're going down there with the right mindset to beat those guys. We have to put up points and our defense will stop their offense to get that win and go to a bowl game."
Wilson said he plans on going after every throw his way like it's his last in a Marshall uniform, and with good reason.
If he and the other receivers don't, it very well could be the last.

Mantras,Shlokas & StotrasII
"Mantras" derived
from the Sanskrit 'man', meaning 'to think'. Mantra literally
means 'instrument of thought'. Mantras are hymns, which are
believed to benefit that chants them. Vedic mantras are said to
have been divinely 'heard' (shruti) by ancient sages. These
hymns are mostly invocations to the gods for protection against
evil, or for assistance in performing one's duties or specific
functions. The effectiveness of the mantras is said to depend on
the mental discipline involved in its correct recitation, and
the accompanying mode of breathing. According to the Agni Purana,
if a mantra is recited quietly or in the mind, it is very
effective. We here describe some of the most commonly used
mantras & shlokas in our daily life.

Interactive map: Halfway milestone for defibrillators in Cornwall
Posted: November 07, 2013|
THE CORNISHMAN'S Heart Start campaign has reached yet another milestone in its drive to get 100 public access defibrillators (PADs) installed across the county.
It has now reached the halfway mark with 51 lifesaving devices either already in place at locations across Cornwall, on order or the subject of active fundraising campaigns.
The amazing achievement is thanks to the overwhelming support of Cornishman readers who have donated, raised funds and offered up their businesses as locations.
At the beginning of the year this paper, along with the Penzance-based Ronnie Richards Memorial Charity (RRMC), launched a campaign to get more of the lifesaving devices in west Cornwall schools, communities and public places.
At that time there were only seven public access defibrillators in Cornwall – all paid for and installed by the RRMC and its founder, Paul Williams.
The news that 51 PADs are either ready for use now or shortly to be available comes just a week after Co-operative Food announced that it would become the prime retail partner for Heart Start and raise funds for defibrillators for all its Devon and Cornwall stores in 2014.
This commitment means the Heart Start campaign will more than meet its target in the coming months.
The acting editor of The Cornishman, Richard Best, said: "To get to a situation where there are more than 50 public access defibrillators in Cornwall in so short a space of time is testament to all the hard work that has gone into this campaign.
"Congratulations surely go to Paul Williams for his tireless commitment. There's little doubt that lives will be saved as a result of this campaign.
"We now all look forward to reaching the 100 mark."
As well as supporting provisioni of the equipment, The Cornishman is also committed to seeing 500 members of the public trained to use it.
So for around 150 people have learnt this vital skill.
Mr Williams said: "Gone will be the dark ages of unnecessary, unacceptable cardiac death claiming a person every five minutes in the UK including, tragically, five children every week in our schools.
"In 2014 the confident expectation is for 150-plus PADs with thousands trained to use them."
This year, through the hard work of Mr Williams, the campaign has achieved many major steps towards making Cornwall a safer place in which to suffer a sudden heart problem.
A strong working relationship with the South Western Ambulance Service Trust (SWAST) has been established, with all PAD sites being linked to the trust's operational system, meaning 999 callers will be directed to the nearest available defibrillator.
Talks are well under way with Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service to facilitate community training at all its county fire stations.
The RRMC has also teamed up with all the schools in the Penwith Education Trust, and in particular Humphry Davy School, to raise funds for equipment and provide training for pupils.
Mr Williams said in Jersey PADs had been deployed 15 times and saved 12 lives.
To find out more, or to donate money towards equipment, visit www.rrmc.webs.com or e-mail email@example.com, or call Mr Williams on 01736 360864 or 07581 188043.
The RRMC is a charity run by volunteers.

Teen Mom
Leah Messer Dumps Fiancé Jeremy Calvert!
Recap of Teen Mom 2 Season 4, Episode 3 (March 4, 2013)
Leah Messer's life is even more complicated than our collection of Uggs (it's a passionate relationship full of ugly-crying). This Teen Mom 2 gal is involved in an epic love triangle between her ex-husband, Corey "Camo 4EVA" Simms, and her current fiancé, Jeremy Calvert, and she's all kinds of confused. Much like we are all kinds of confused about what color her hair is, but moving on.
The good news? Leah is being 100 percent honest about her unresolved feelings for Corey. The bad news? She tells Jeremy that she wants to put the brakes on their relationship, and gives him back his engagement ring! Sob, it's like that glorious 24 hours in a love shack meant nothing to her.
It looks like Leah is prioritizing her relationship (or lack thereof) with Corey and his terrifying baseball hat over her relationship with Jeremy, and she even asks Corey to go to therapy with her so they can work out their issues. Yep, these two are officially back together, partially for the sake of their girls, partially because they love each other, and partially because Leah's turned on by the fact that Corey has a new house with two (count 'em!) bathtubs.
Why Corey needs two bathtubs when he's just one person remains a mystery, but we can only assume one of them is for his camouflage baseball hat.
