Basic Life Insurance helps provide financial protection to your loved ones at little or no cost to
you. In the event of your death, an individual (or individuals) of your choosing will receive a cash payment from Aetna. The amount of this payment is determined by your coverage amount. Your Basic Life Insurance amount may be limited, based on your basic annual earnings of your job classification. You may be able to receive additional amounts of coverage through a separate Supplemental Life benefit, if one is offered through your plan. If you do not know the exact terms of your Basic Life Insurance coverage, please refer to your Plan's Summary of Coverage, or contact your benefits administrator.
Please click on any of the terms below to learn more about Aetna's Basic Life benefits.
If, while covered under this program for life insurance you become terminally ill, you may request that Aetna pay an Accelerated Death Benefit (herein called ADB). You may request an ADB on your own behalf or on behalf of your spouse (if Dependent Life is included) at any time by completing an Aetna Request for Accelerated Death Benefit Form and submitting it to Aetna. The form to the right provides an example of the Accelerated Death Benefit kit. If you need assistance please contact our Care Advocate at 1-773-289-1010.
When you terminate employment or are no longer in an eligible class, or you retire, you have options available regarding your current group term life insurance.
The Life Insurance coverage may include a Premium Waiver provision. With this provision, your Life Insurance coverage may be continued without premium payments if you become disabled before a pre-determined age and the disability lasts for a pre-determined period of time.

The Lil Kim/Nicki Minaj/Iggy Azalea circle of beef is keeping on spinning with news that Kim, blind to the call for her to #GiveItUp already, is after Iggy for song collaboration.
In an interview with New York radio station Hot 97, rapper and unofficial Iggy Azalea mouthpiece, T.I., revealed that the two may find themselves in the studio together.
"I got a call from Kim," T.I. told Hot 97. "She said it's time to find that record to get [an Iggy collaboration] done."
I bet she did, because poor Kimberly seems determined to continue charging at Minaj like a small angry child with a palm held against its face, but something (everything) tells us this is a terrible idea. If her jealousy and Ambien-fueled attempt at a diss track is anything to go by, this is not going to be the most dope banger of 2014.
T.I did also suggested that Kim is down to collaborate with the only female rapper of 2014 you should really be caring about at this point, Remy Ma.
"Yeah, she's a fan of the sport," he said when asked about a possible Remy/Iggy collaboration. "I believe she's gonna be eager to show support… She with the nonsense."
Now that we'd be down to hear, so long as Kim agrees to chill on the Tylenol Night before hitting the studio.

Dr. Mojdeh Haghverdi's Ratings
Dr. Haghverdi is a very compassionate and knowledgable provider. She listens when her patients speak and does not just write out a prescription as an answer. She follows up on bloodwork, and goes over your medications from other doctors, offering advice when she feels a drug is not the best treatment for you. If you do not follow thru on her request for a consult, she reminds you to do so. I appreciate this because I don't always follow up immediately. She is caring and consientous. I recommend her all the time!

Dr. Haghverdi saved my live by picking up on a slightly high PSA for a man my age. She insisted I see a Urologist- after her second appeal, I finally did and sure enough I had prostate cancer. The surgery was a total success. My previous Doctor had the same info and never said a word. Thanks to Dr. Haghverdi, I'm living happily ever after!

Apple iPhone 6s PlusCompare9.2 reviewNot much has changed on the surface since the iPhone 6s Plus introduced an updated look with a laminated screen and comfortably round corners. This time around, though, Apple is beating its chest for incorporating Series 7000 aluminum instead of the anodized aluminum it's been traditionally using. The screen on the iPhone 6s Plus is virtually unchanged from what its originator brought forth, but the smartphone has gained 3D Touch control that lets users deliberately choose between a light tap, a press, and a "deeper" press, triggering a range of specific controls. Other notable additions include the Apple A9 chipset, 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and a 12MP rear camera with 4K resolution video recording.+ View Specs

It further offers a 2 MP front-facing camera, a 5 MP rear camera, 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage space, and microSD card support.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+Compare8.7 reviewBest described as a "super-sized" Galaxy S6 edge, the S6 edge+ differs with a bigger, 5.7-inch display (a 0.6 inch increase), larger 3000mAh battery (a 400mAh increase), and bigger overall size. Hardware-wise, we're once again looking at an Exynos 7420 SoC, driving the mains alongside 4GB of RAM. Memory choices are the usual as well - there are 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage variants available. As in the original phablet, there is no microSD card slot, and neither a removable battery.+ View Specs

Samsung Galaxy Note5Compare9 reviewThe Samsung Galaxy Note5 brings a huge redesign to the Note series: it adopts the glass and metal styling of the Galaxy S6, but in a larger, 5.7" form factor, and it features the signature S Pen stylus. The Note5 sports the 14nm Exynos 7420 octa-core system chip with a whopping 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. In terms of photography, it sports a 16-megapixel rear cam with OIS, while up front there is a 5-megapixel selfie shooter, and both cameras sport wide, f/1.9 lenses. The battery on the Note5 is smaller than on the Note 4: it's a 3000mAh juicer that is not user removable. The base model of the phone ships with 32GB of internal storage, and there is a costlier, 64GB version, but both lack support for expandable storage.+ View Specs

Nokia Lumia 735Compare7.5 reviewThe Nokia Lumia 735 comes with a mission: it is advertised as a 'selfie' phone, one with higher-res front-facing camera to allow you taking even better pictures of yourself. It's a 5-megapixel front shooter with a wide-angle lens that does that, plus, the phone has also got a 6.7-megapixel rear camera. For all else, this is a fairly typical Windows Phone 8.1 mid-ranger for late-2014: it's got a 4.7" 720p ClearBlack OLED display, Snapdragon 400 system chip, 1GB of RAM, and 8 gigs of internal storage. The difference with the otherwise almost identical Lumia 730 is that the 735 features 4G LTE connectivity and only one SIM card.+ View Specs

It's got a 5 MP camera with LED flash on the back, and a 2 MP snapper on the front (this one's helped by a Palm Selfie function that detects movement and lets you take selfies using hand gestures). The new Galaxy offers 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of internal memory, microSD card support, and a 1850 mAh removable battery that should be able to provide a talk time of up to 10 hours. Ultra Power Saving mode is also available.+ View Specs

LG G4Compare9 reviewThe LG G4 certainly isn't the "radically different" smartphone LG executives promised, but it isn't last year's phone either.

LG LancetComparePowered by a quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, the LG Lancet sports a 4.5-inch display with 480 x 854 pixels - a pretty small display, and a low resolution for 2015. Other features include LG's KnockOn (letting you wake the screen with just two taps), 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of expandable storage space, and a 2100 mAh battery that can provide "up to 18.5 hours of usage time."

Add a scorching Snapdragon 810 chipset, 3 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 32 GB of storage out of the box, and the One M9 quickly elevates HTC to competitive status with any other phone thrown at it, and we didn't even mention the new BoomSound speakers with Dolby surround sound at the front.+ View Specs

Equipped with a 4.7-inch display, the iPhone 6 is also much larger than its predecessor, the iPhone 5s, but Apple has managed to trim some extra fat in order to make the new iPhone even thinner, at 0.27 in (6.9 mm). The innards of the iPhone 6, too, went through improvements. The home-grown dual-core A8 processor is the third consecutive Apple chip to be custom-designed, and offers performance improvements of up to 25% and 50% in the of CPU and GPU departments respectively.

This time HTC has provided a microSD card slot, too. Add to these the new 5 MP wide-angle front camera, the BoomSound stereo speakers at the front, plus a larger, 2100 mAh battery, and the One mini 2 becomes a serious contender in the crowded midrange category. The handset runs on the latest Android 4.4 KitKat, with Sense 6.0 sprinkled on top.+ View Specs

Sony Xperia Z2 TabletCompare9 reviewThe Xperia Tablet Z is still one of the most highly coveted Android tablets in its class. It is only natural to have high expectations about its successor. Then again, the Xperia Tablet Z was so complete that it didn't leave that much room for improvement over a year. This isn't to say it didn't have any weak spots. For example, the Xpera Tablet Z2's 10.1-inch display has been reworked for the better. It offers better color reproduction and viewing angles compared to the Xperia Tablet Z1. Colors retain their consistency and distortion has been eliminated. On top of that, the Xpera Tablet Z2 manages to shave off some weight and thickness, while growing some additional muscle with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 801 CPU and 3GB of RAM. Everything else is largely the same. The design, the 6000mAh battery and the 2.2MP front/8MP rear cameras have all been preserved from last year. Although not innovative, the Xperia Tablet Z2 is durable, slick, and a great high-end slate overall.+ View Specs

Samsung Galaxy S5Compare9.1 reviewWith a 5.1" 1080p screen, 16 MP camera and 2 GB of RAM, the Galaxy S5 might not be the utmost specs beast that the Android world has to offer, but it comes with plenty of new features, both in comparison with its predecessor, the S4, and when measured up to the other flagships. The heart beat sensor, for instance, is unique for the Galaxy S5, while something like the Finger Scanner can also be observed on the iPhone 5s, but in a rather different implementation. Samsung also introduced two new launch colors, including Copper Gold, and a brand new perforated design for the rear cover. The addition of Snapdragon 801 chipset brings on LTE-A download speeds, and 4K video recording, to an already superb handset.+ View Specs

The handset is way more compact with its 5" Full HD display, but sports the same excellent 20 MP PureView camera with optical image stabilization, and not two or three, but four HAAC mics for noise cancellation, adding to the fast Snapdragon 800 chipset and 2 GB of RAM, making it one of the best Windows Phones a two-year contract can buy.+ View Specs

Motorola Moto GCompare9 reviewLooking at its specs sheet, we're surprised to see how much bang the Moto G can deliver for its money. First and foremost, our eyes are treated to a 4.5-inch "edge-to-edge" LCD display with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. This gives us a figure of around 329ppi, which nothing short of great given the phone's cost. A layer of Gorilla Glass 3 protects the screen against light scratches. Then there's the processor ticking inside of the Moto G – a 1.2GHz, quad-core Snapdragon 400 silicon, which is no slouch by any means. 1GB of RAM is available on the device.+ View Specs

Apple iPad mini 2Compare8.5 reviewThe iPad mini with Retina Display kicker? That amazing 7.9" display carries the same resolution as the larger iPad. That's right, 2048x1536 pixels amounts to 326ppi pixel density, a record feat on a device that is basically all screen. Neither Nexus 7, nor the G Pad 8.3 can match this, but it's up to you if the premium design and the extra pixel density are worth the $399 starting price Apple is commanding for the iPad mini with Retina Display. Bear in mind that it is also incredibly thin and light, and all of that is achieved from an aluminum-crafted chassis that comes in the trendy Space Gray color now.+ View Specs

BlackBerry Z30Compare7.5 reviewThe BlackBerry Z30 includes a 5-inch 720p (295 ppi) AMOLED display, the largest of any BB phone, and also the now aging aged Snapdragon S4 Pro with the four CPUs running at 1.7GHz. Blackberry is yet to shed light on whether we're talking about a dual-core or quad-core, though the less potent version seems likely. In terms of memory, you'll find 2GB RAM, with just 16GB of internal storage, though you can expand that via a microSD card. BlackBerry claims that the battery on the Z30, at 2880mAh, coupled with software optimizations, offers 50% more battery life than its current competitors, though manufactures have a pretty shady track record when it comes to this particular bit of hardware, and its actual capabilities. Turning to the camera on the Z30, an increasingly relevant component of the entire package a smartphone offers lately, we're welcomed by a 8MP rear camera with Auto Focus, 5x digital zoom and a an LED flash. The large five element lens with an aperture of f/2.2 mean that the unit will capture a lot of light, resulting in great shots. The snapper, as is to be expected, is capable of 1080p video capture, and comes with what BB chose to call "Time Shift" – a feature that basically allows you to choose and adjust faces from several snaps, so say goodbye to ill-timed shots. In terms of connectivity and extras, the Z30 is anything but lacking – you get GPS, 4G LTE connectivity and Wi-Fi, of course, but also Bluetooth 4.0 LE (low energy), NFC, and the rather nice perk that is a microHDMI port.+ View Specs

Apple iPad AirCompare9.2 reviewThe iPad Air is Apple's fifth generation full-sized iPad tablet, and the name is definitelly fitting for this remarkable device. It is only 7.5 millimeters thin and weighs just 469 grams, making it the lightest slate of this size. Its screen is identical to the one we know from its predecessor - a 9.7-inch Retina Display with oleophobic coating and resolution of 1536 by 2048 pixels. Under the hood, Apple has chosen to install its A7 chip, which is the very same 64-bit SoC powering the iPhone 5s. As a result, the new iPad is two times faster than the previous model. With the 5MP iSight camera, one can take detailed photos and 1080p Full HD videos, while the FaceTime HD front-facing snapper is ideal for video chats and self portraits. Connecting to the internet is done either via Wi-Fi, or over a 4G LTE network, should you choose a cellular-enabled iPad Air model. Apple's iOS 7 operating system is loaded onto the tablet, with iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps included at no cost.+ View Specs

Apple iPhone 5sCompare9.3 reviewThe iPhone 5s is not a radical departure in design for Apple, save for one very important feature. No, we don't mean the new Space Gray and Gold colors. We have in mind the home button that has been on iPhones from day one, is now turned into a fingerprint scanner dubbed Touch ID. It lets you unlock the phone and authorize purchases, safely storing your fingerprints in the A7 processor itself, out of the reach for anyone but a few default iOS 7 apps. This A7 processor debuts on the iPhone 5s as the first 64-bit mobile chipset in use on a commercial device, utilized by the latest flat and minimalistic iOS 7 that has been rewritten to take advantage of the 64-bit system. It sports a dedicated M7 co-processor for always-on motion sensing, too. The iSight camera stayed 8 MP, but is much improved, with larger pixels, wider aperture, and the ability to shoot slow motion videos, not to mention the dual two-tone LED flash on the back that strives for natural skin color representation.+ View Specs

Motorola DROID MAXXCompare8.5 reviewMotorola DROID MAXX has a 3500 mAh battery, which is 200 mAh more than its predecessor, and the kind of capacity only phablets get equipped with nowadays, and cited for up to 48 hours of battery life. That capacity is keeping the lights on a very interesting set of specs - 5" HD OLED display (not PenTile), 1.7 GHz homemade processor, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. Exact dimensions go as follows: 137.5x71.20x8.5 mm, so pretty thin despite the giant battery, and fairly light for a 5-incher at 160 grams, or 5.6 ounces. The "Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System" SoC sports 1.7 GHz dual-core application processor, 400 MHz quad-core GPU, natural language processor, and a contextual computing processor, for an octa-core concoction, claims Moto. The 10 MP camera on the back sports the new ClearPixel technology, which applies different RGBC color filter than the traditional Bayer RGBG one, bringing in more photons at low-light scenarios thus dealing better with blur and noise, at least on theory.+ View Specs

The Guardian and TfL – two organisations that do an excellent job of annoying people who ought to be annoyed – have embarked on a very cool project: they\'ve produced a version of the Tube map that features 20th century music instead of stations.
As with Simon Patterson\'s The Great Bear, each line represents a common theme. Unlike the Great Bear, however, intersections on the map feature cross-genre artists – so Bjork is on the intersection of avant-garde, jazz, pop, electronica and soul, while the Clash are on the intersection of rock and reggae. Good effort, overall.


text: American College of Surgeons Media Press Releases Journal (JACS) Press Releases Patients with Larger Social Networks May Fare Better Press Releases 2015 Press Releases 2014 Press Releases 2013 Press Releases 2012 Press Releases 2011 Press Releases ACS Quality Programs Journal of the American College of Surgeons Media Resources Media Resources About ACS ACS Health Policy Research Institute Patient Education Quality Programs National Cancer Data Base National Trauma Data Bank ACS Publications ACS in the News Stay Up to Date with ACS Patients with Larger Social Networks May Fare Better NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CHICAGO (February 12, 2008): A new study published in the February issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows that patients with a large support network of family and friends report feeling less pain and anxiety prior to having a surgical procedure, which can have a substantially positive impact on their postoperative recovery. The findings suggest that it is important for clinicians to be aware of the close relationship between patients' social networks and their impact on preoperative pain and anxiety, and how these relationships can affect patient recovery after major operations. "Strong social connectedness can have a tremendous impact on patient recovery by helping blunt the effect of stress caused by postoperative pain, as well as ease concerns about health, finances and separation from family members," said Allison R. Mitchinson, MPH, NCTMB, research health science specialist, Department of Veterans Affairs, Ann Arbor (MI) Healthcare System. Social network size and social connectedness have long been known to affect health and well-being. Stressful events such as having an operation can further increase the need for social support. "Since patients with limited social connections will likely require more pain medications, have longer hospital stays, and need additional caregiver attention after a surgical procedure, it is important that physicians are aware of this link," added study co-author Daniel B. Hinshaw, MD, FACS, a researcher with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Ann Arbor Healthcare System. "Patients should be preoperatively screened for pain and anxiety because these are strong predictors of a more difficult postoperative recovery." Patients undergoing major thoracic or abdominal operations at two Veterans Affairs' medical centers (n=605) participated in a randomized controlled trial of massage as adjuvant treatment for postoperative pain. Prior to the operations, patients were given a questionnaire assessing their number of friends and relatives and how frequently contact was made with the members of their social networks. Patients rated levels of pre- and postoperative pain intensity and unpleasantness, as well as postoperative levels of anxiety, depression, relaxation, and inner peace using visual analogue scales. Daily opiate use, postoperative complications, and length of stay were also evaluated. The study found that patients reporting a smaller social network had higher preoperative pain intensity, unpleasantness, and anxiety (p<0.001). # # # About the American College of Surgeons The American College of Surgeons is a scientific and educational organization of surgeons that was founded in 1913 to raise the standards of surgical practice and improve the quality of care for all surgical patients. The College is dedicated to the ethical and competent practice of surgery.

President's Statement
We call this "The Campaign for Hartwick Students: It's Personal"
... because this Campaign will enhance the experience of each Hartwick student.
Every student, no matter what she studies, no matter what his interests, will benefit from the generosity of alumni, parents, and friends who donate to the Campaign.
When complete, this Campaign will provide students greater access to study at Hartwick, a better experience of the campus, a model of sustainable and responsible energy consumption, and broad access to our transformational J Term experience.
Each objective in this campaign is important. This will be the first campaign in the College's history to make endowment growth, through the funding of scholarships, a primary focus. Gifts made to endowed scholarships make Hartwick possible for students who want this experience and need financial assistance to make it possible. Endowed scholarships for J Term study will assure that all Hartwick students, no matter their financial resources, will have access to the transformational experience of study abroad. Access to a high quality Hartwick education, and to study abroad, changes lives. Together we can make it possible for generations of deserving students to attend Hartwick and take advantage of all that it has to offer. Someone helped each one of us along the way. It is our turn to help others.
The Hartwick campus is unforgettable. The stunning views across the Susquehanna Valley leave an indelible impression. Our facilities support our faculty in their teaching and research and our students in their learning. The Campaign for Hartwick Students will fund some very important infrastructure enhancements. The most visible is the William V. Campbell H'10 Fitness Center, named for Intuit Chairman Bill Campbell, a friend of the College who made a leadership gift in support of this Campaign. This fitness facility will allow every Hartwick student to pursue his or her personal wellness goals.
When planning for the Campaign, our students told us that having a "living room" close to our residence halls was their top priority - and so we are recreating Stack Lounge, turning it into a welcoming gathering space for our students.
More than 900 students a semester study in the Anderson Center for the Arts. We will make important physical improvements to this wonderful building to assure that the students who sing, create art, and study and perform instrumental music will have the best possible learning experience. Likewise, our student athletes deserve locker and team room space that matches their level of accomplishment. Almost one in three Hartwick students participates in a varsity sport. Making these changes will signal to our student-athletes that we support and appreciate their level of discipline, commitment, and dedication to achieving their personal best whether on the field, court, pitch, or pool.
Sustainability has long been a focus on our campus, and it has become a part of the way today's students think about their world and their future. This Campaign will provide our students a model for sustainable operations as we fund the goal that we call A Greener Hartwick. These projects will help us to reduce our carbon footprint, increase our energy efficiency, and reduce our waste. Ultimately, the money we save in energy expenditures as a result of the projects in this portion of the Campaign will free resources that we can better invest in enhancements such as funds to support faculty development, academic programs, and student research.
In their presentations, performances, and competitions Hartwick students impress us time and again with their talent and their sense of purpose. I encourage you to support our students through gifts to the Campaign objectives that will improve the spaces that are integral to the Hartwick learning and living experience.
Our final objective in this Campaign is building a greater and consistent annual base of operational support through the Hartwick Fund. The Hartwick Fund provides essential annual support that allows us to sustain the quality experience that we promise our students. It provides critical operational support and gives us the flexibility we need to take advantage of unexpected opportunities. I hope that when you make a commitment to The Campaign for Hartwick Students you will include a commitment to the Hartwick Fund.
You are the key to success in this Campaign. As I experience our campus every day, I know that our students deserve our support. This community is eager to help every student explore, experiment, and ultimately connect with his or her future. I am proud to be part of a community that understands so well the connection between a high quality liberal arts education and our collective future as a society of engaged, curious, creative, and courageous citizens. Thank you for demonstrating your commitment to continuing this tradition of aspiration and excellence through your gift to The Campaign for Hartwick Students: It's Personal.
Dr. Margaret L. Drugovich P'12
P.S. To learn how you can get involved in The Campaign for Hartwick Students, please contact my colleague, Vice President for College Advancement Gregg Fort, at 607-431-4026 or email@example.com.

Multi-Generational Vacations
The trend is here to stay. As more and more baby boomers retire, and seek to spend their golden years in the company of children and grandchildren, boomers and Gen Xers are taking their family reunions on the road as a way to unite the family while enjoying a relaxing vacation at the same time. Shell Vacations Hospitality resorts are highly family-friendly and there are many activities for the whole family to enjoy. Peacock Suites in Anaheim is just minutes from Disneyland® and offers a complimentary shuttle to that magical destination. San Diego's Harbor Vacations are close to attractions such as the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld. From museums, parks and cultural centers, cities like San Francisco, Whistler and Honolulu provide many options to pack a multi-gen family's itinerary. For even more free activities, Shell Vacations provides programs created by on-site directors for adults and children including guided hikes, horseback riding, skiing and zip lining while others offer special services such as baby-sitting, bicycle rentals and PGA-certified golf instruction.
Girlfriend Getaways
Whether it's a few mommies, sorority sisters or best friends needing a little time off, Shell Vacations Hospitality offers the perfect girlfriend getaway trip for every season. And nothing can beat the value of staying in stylish suites and studios that can please the most high-maintenance diva down to the low-key lass of the group. Some options include: a spa and wine-tasting retreat in Napa Valley; finding balance and peace on Hawaii's Kona Coast; or a winter playground on (and off) the slopes of Whistler. At each of the unique Shell Vacations resorts and destinations, girlfriends can play, recharge and reconnect on a worry-free getaway.
Location, Location, Location = Value, Value, Value
These days, travelers are much savvier and look for solid value to ensure that their dollars are well-spent. Not only is the location key, but what kind of value can one truly get out of the activities, accommodations and experiences in a destination? Shell Vacations Hospitality provides the best value, quality and choice for travelers seeking an extraordinary experience for almost every season and region of North America. From European style living in the heart of San Francisco's cultural arts district and mountain lodge accommodations in Whistler, to Southwest style casitas along the fairways of Arizona's top-rated golf courses and beach-front lanais overlooking the Hawaiian coast, Shell Vacations offers affordable, quality resort experiences fit for all travelers' tastes.
Off the Beaten Path
The idea of a vacation or getaway varies in meaning from person to person. For some it means partying in hot spots like Las Vegas, Miami or Cancun. For others it simply means going to a quiet, remote location to escape all the pressures of everyday life. Travelers are looking to spend their time off in more undiscovered locations. Companies such as Shell Vacations Hospitality can offer unlimited options with its collection of 25 one-of-a-kind resorts throughout the United States and Canada. Some examples of destinations "less traveled" in which Shell Vacations provides accommodations include: Door County, Little Sweden in Wisconsin; Mt. Hood, Oregon; Cashiers, North Carolina; and Francestown, New Hampshire. In each of these gems (and several others), there is much history and experience to last a weekend or week's getaway for any discerning traveler.
Embracing Social Media
Travel companies are paying close attention to customers shopping online for their travel needs. Companies from Southwest and JetBlue to Hertz and Amtrak are using social media to reach travelers – and reach them in real time. Facebook fans, Twitter followers and blog readers can immediately get travel alerts, deals and news about their upcoming trips. In early 2009, Shell Vacations Hospitality launched a Hot Deals Blog posting weekly deals for its customers, many of whom have signed up for the newsletter and regularly check the blog for deals. In addition, the company created a Facebook fan page and YouTube page loaded with images, videos and news updates about the company. Shell Vacations will continue to grow in this area and further provide even more value while listening to their customers closely.

Numbers Game: Derrick Williams and Rashad McCants, joined in history
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
This week's Numbers Game column examines a breakout game by a former high Timberwolves draft pick, Toby Gerhart's career numbers to this point, and Bronson Arroyo's last five years.
31: The number of points Derrick Williams scored in the Sacramento King's win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night - DW's fifth game in his new city.
The Kings traded power forward Patrick Patterson to the Toronto Raptors as part of a seven-player deal that brought small forward Rudy Gay to Sacramento. The trade created even more room for Williams to play power forward, and he responded with a breakout game - 31 points, five rebounds and five steals, including 3-of-5 from three-point range.
And this awesome alley-oop:
This certainly isn't the first time a struggling-yet-promising Minnesota prospect went off in his new digs. Delmon Young hit five postseason home runs for the Tigers in 2011 just weeks after the Twins traded him for a bucket of batting practice balls. Francisco Liriano thrived in Pittsburgh last season. I'm sure there are many other examples (feel free to comment below).
Then again, Rashad McCants was traded to Sacramento halfway through the 2008-2009 season, and he, like Williams, went off in his fifth game with the Kings as well - 20 points on 6-of-6 shooting (3-of-3 from downtown) and four rebounds in 30 minutes. Two weeks later, McCants dropped 30 on the Charlotte Bobcats, including five three-pointers.
We all know how that turned out.
45%: Wes Johnson's shooting percentage from three-point range so far this season.
Johnson, another former Timberwolf, is thriving as a shooter in Mike D'Antoni's system in Los Angeles. But shooting is about all Johnson provides, as he averages just 12 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per 36 minutes. Once the fourth overall pick, Johnson is now a shooting specialist -- something, coincidentally, the Wolves could use right now.
1,305: The number of career rushing yards Toby Gerhart has racked up in his four-year career.
And it only took him 276 carries (4.7 yards per) to get there, which is slightly fewer carries than most starting running backs would get in a full season. Gerhart also has 77 catches for 600 yards over that period (7.8 per catch). At age 26, Gerhart, a free agent after this season, will almost certainly land a starting job somewhere.
And considering how almost every elite running back in NFL history has hit a wall around age 29 or 30, it might make sense for the Vikings to entertain keeping Gerhart. After all, Adrian Peterson turns 29 in a couple months.
5: Shutouts thrown by former Cincinnati Reds starter Bronson Arroyo since 2009. Twins starters have combined for just nine shutouts over that same stretch.
The Twins are still making a push to land Arroyo at this week's MLB winter meetings in Orlando. Over the past five seasons, Arroyo owns a 4.05 ERA while averaging 208 innings per season and 5.3 strikeouts per nine innings. According to KSTP and 1500 ESPN reporter Darren Wolfson, the Twins could land Arroyo with a three-year guaranteed contract. Arroyo, however, turns 37 in February, so a three-year deal might not make sense.

This translation work is the fruit of theNeemat (bounty) of Allah upon me as it refelect the
results of my Arabic Class at the Masjid of Tsukuba in Japan. My students S. Mirza, I. Mahdi,
Aris, Fakhrudin, Areef, A. Naba, from Indonesia along two brothers from Pakistan Sultan and
Asadulrahaman, Allah Reward theme with best, were at the origin of my decision to take upon
mysholder this translation work, while Allah knows best that I am not eligibal to lead such a
noble work.
During my class I had to use English as an intermdiate language to explain the rules and
vocabularies. My students an I have haredly try to find approriate references through an
intensive search in the internet that could help speed our learning and more important to
minimize the use of English in our class, but in vien all the good sites that we could find at this
time were not free of charge. In other words the day I started this translation, I have reached
the conclusion that there are still very few Muslims who care to spread the Arabic language
free of charge over the internet with theNiyah to encourage over one billion non native Arabic
Muslims to learn the Langauge that Allah have choosen for the revelation of His Holy book,
The Quran.
Each lesson is devided into four major parts, namely, Examples, Discussion and Grammar or Grammatical rule, and Exercises. For each part of the lesson, I have adopted different styles of translation with the aim to increase the student\u2019s vocabulary learning, while learnig the grammar and the basics of the lesson without big need for external refrence or dictionary.

Johannesburg - This year's Comrades Marathon made a Guinness World Record for the most runners in an ultra-marathon, the Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) said on Tuesday.
The field was the largest since the turn of the millennium, with 14 343 runners completing the race within the 12-hour cut-off time, the CMA said in a statement.
"Applying for the record attempt was quite a process, and organising and collecting all the necessary evidence was an event in itself," said CMA marketing co-ordinator Thami Vilakazi.
"Achieving this feat was a wonderful and befitting way to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the ultimate human race," he said.
Vilakazi said witness statements independently corroborating the achievement were submitted to Guinness World Records by Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business chief executive officer Andrew Layman and The Witness newspaper's general manager of national sales and marketing Dave Erasmus.
"We have long been of the belief that the ultimate human race was a feat in itself. It's good to have that confirmed by such an authoritative body," said Layman.
"It is very special that 'The City of Choice' that is Pietermaritzburg, can once again host a Guinness World Record.
It is extremely rewarding and is a definite 'thumbs-up' to all those who make the Comrades not just possible, but successful, year in and year out," added Erasmus.

Websites used to be an accessory for most direct mailers, functioning almost like electronic brochures. Sometimes they looked good, but they didn't have a lot to say and most fell well short of what should have been the ultimate goal-sell a product, get a donation and further the customer/donor relationship.
Times obviously have changed, radically. People now live part of their lives on the web; they read the news, pay their bills, correspond with friends, book their vacations and buy things, many things, there. They also waste a lot of time surfing, searching and scouring for anything remotely related to their interests at that moment.
Until recently, people used to spend considerable time with their direct mail, sifting through attractive offers from magazines and travel merchants, browsing retail catalogs and investment newsletters, choosing insurance plans and cable TV packages, etc. Now much of that time (and eventual money), even if it still starts in the mail, ends up being spent on the web. Today the website is an essential component for every direct mailer precisely because it does so many things well-in some cases complementing the best of direct mail and in other ways simply doing work that the mail cannot do.
"In 2009, I think you have to identify whether it's direct mail, or your website, that plays the starring role," asserts Gary Hennerberg, a copywriter and direct marketing consultant. Online is quickly becoming the new direct marketing leader with its unique ability to support inbound marketing efforts. "Not long ago, I would have said that a website supports direct mail. Today I think direct mail supports a website," says Hennerberg.
Either way, few direct mail pieces, no matter how brilliant or previously successful, and the companies behind them can afford to be without a comprehensive and, ideally, coordinated multichannel marketing plan-with the website being a major part of it all. "The goal of every marketer in our rapidly evolving direct marketing landscape must be to deliver speed and convenience to consumers by enabling them to engage and transact easily via the channel they are most comfortable with," reveals Michael Bloom, vice president of direct marketing operations for Datran Media.
For many, that inevitably, usually sooner than later, involves the website, perhaps moments after prospects get the mail piece. Here are six ways to get ready.
1. Dig the Demographics
"Demographics of your customers must be considered," urges Hennerberg, who believes parents of baby boomers tend to be readers and will continue to read direct mail. Meanwhile, they aren't known to be web-savvy, so they rarely may consider using the web to conduct additional research and transact business.
5 Ways to Get Your Website Up to Speed
Are you prepared for the moment when your prospect, whose interest is piqued by your mail piece, visits your website?by Ethan Boldt, editor-in-chief July 1, 2009
Websites used to be an accessory for most direct mailers, functioning almost like electronic brochures. Sometimes they looked good, but they didn't have a lot to say and most fell well short of what should have been the ultimate goal-sell a product, get a donation and further the customer/donor relationship.

NCI Press Office
(301) 496-6641
Changing Adolescent Smoking Prevalence: Where It Is and Why was compiled by over 30 public health experts from throughout the United States. David M. Burns, M.D., of the University of California in San Diego, Calif., was the senior scientific editor of the monograph. The report is the 14th in NCI's Smoking and Tobacco Control Monograph Series and offers the first major update of adolescent smoking behavior since 1994.
The authors of the monograph examine trends in the percentage of young people who smoke, including data showing that initiation rates have declined over time for males at all ages. However, there was little evidence of a decline in initiation for females under 16 years old, and initiation rates increased for females 16 years and older.
The youth smoking rates overall remain relatively high. The latest figures reported in the monograph are from the 2000 Monitoring the Future study, which showed that almost 32 percent of 12th-graders are current smokers (defined as having smoked within the past 30 days). The highest rate of current smoking for 12th-graders in the 1990s occurred in 1997, with almost 37 percent reported as current smokers.
According to Healthy People 2010, the government's comprehensive set of health objectives for the nation, the goal is to reduce the percent of current adolescent smokers to 16 percent by the year 2010. "Much work and continued progress are needed in order to reach that goal," said Scott Leischow, Ph.D., chief of NCI's Tobacco Control Research Branch.
Several chapters in the NCI monograph present data on various racial/ethnic groups, including descriptions and explanations of smoking behavior among African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and American Indian and Alaskan Native adolescents. Smoking rates vary by ethnic group, with American Indian and Alaskan Native adolescents showing the highest rate and African American adolescents showing the lowest. The authors describe protective factors such as religious involvement and participation in high school sports programs that may contribute to lower smoking rates in certain populations, and risk factors such as poverty that might lead to higher smoking rates in others.
The monograph addresses large-scale influences on the smoking behavior of adolescents, including access, marketing, and cost of tobacco products. The data on youth access show that young people continue to obtain cigarettes both from noncommercial sources, such as friends and family members, and from commercial sources, such as convenience stores, even though cigarette sales are prohibited to individuals under the age of 18.
The data on the effect of cost show that youth are more responsive to cigarette price increases than are adults. A 10 percent increase in the price of cigarettes is estimated to reduce youth smoking by 5 percent or more. In addition, evidence exists that youth are more likely to quit smoking as cigarette prices are increased.
Chapters in the monograph also explore the results from statewide tobacco control programs in Massachusetts, California, and Florida. The authors examine the predictors of tobacco use among youth and describe the impact of the programs. In California, for example, following the enactment of Proposition 99 which provided tobacco control groups with funding to launch an aggressive anti-smoking campaign adolescent smoking in California showed a significant decrease compared with the national rates, particularly among adolescent males.
According to Leischow: "The evidence indicates that sustained programs work when they address the full range of influences on youth tobacco use, such as tobacco-free policies, active parent and community involvement, school-based programs, cessation services, and media to
counter tobacco advertising. But the monograph reminds us that there is no easy solution for reducing youth smoking. Tobacco control organizations and researchers must continue to find answers and implement comprehensive policies and programs that are proven effective."

A Clothes Shave
If we could have a closet genie, we'd wish for him to hang up all the clothes on the floor, organize the shelves, and help us stop uttering the phrase "I have nothing to wear!" Oh, and he should look a lot like David Beckham (preferably shirtless).
Springtime = spring cleaning! And like almost everything in Russell Brand's tattered wardrobe, there are certain threads that have lived their last days.
It's time to purge, or as Rachel Wirkus, co-founder of the NY-based closet organization company RRW+Co., would say, "detox." The former celeb stylist and current closet cleanser has worked with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kate Bosworth, and now you.
"Looking at a well-organized closet makes me happy!" Wirkus said. "If it is welcoming, then dressing will be fun and easy! You won't look at your closet in despair or frustration every time you get ready for work or go to a special event."
Check out some of Wirkus' suggestions for cleaning up that closet:
Say Goodbye to Winter: Take out all winter clothing (including those reindeer holiday knits, please) and either store or relegate them to the back of your closet.
Do Denim Duty: Folding your denim so it fits in a dresser drawer or on a shelf is one easy way to free up space. To stay über-neat, organize by color and style.
Bid Adieu Altogether: Donate or sell old pieces — especially if you have doubles or haven't worn something in five years. Don't know where to go? Wirkus' company will help you with the process. Oh, and check your pockets first. We just heard about a guy who donated a pair of his pants that had 80 bucks in it (couldn't have been our ex — he never had 80 bucks).
Buy Uniform Hangers: Using the same hanger for all your duds is a quick fix to give your closet a more open feel. RRW+Co. loves using Huggable Hangers.

Didn't you hear? the flying car is available for pre-order
... You planning to get arrested for something involving a 4 year old anytime soon?
Here's a challenge for Slashdot: explain to me how standards compliance benefits the end-user of the browser.
Standards compliance allows web developers to spend less time in QA and more time developing new features in THEIR applications. So rather than Microsoft developing one or two new features per year in their browser, Every web developer on the planet can develop one or two new features for their site per year. (Those numbers are obviously terrible and asspulled, but you get my meaning I'm sure).
It's similar to being able to write in higher level languages, (Java, Python) over lower level (C, Assembly). Once you don't have to care if the processor is x86 or Sparc, or if the compiler is GCC or MSVCC you can spend more time working on the actual purpose of your application. (Sorry, I couldn't think of a car analogy)
Remember all those #ifdef's in lots of old C (And many C++ Programs)?, ever had to write the same program twice in assembly, targetting two different processors? Ever written something once in python or java, and been reasonably confident that it'll run on any machine? (Java's stil a bit quirky between JVM Versions, but they're making a real effort at least), By standardizing the "language" (Or runtime environment in the case of most new languages), the productivity of every single person who uses that language improves.
That makes the investment of time by those writing the languages or runtime environments seem very worthwhile to me.
....Don't forget nutrition...
In general, any food "...ated" or "...ized" should be minimized. Refined sugar, white bread and especially high fructose corn syrup, such as found in most soft drinks should be mostly stricken from your diet. Live as much as possible on minimally processed, natural food.
Of course, you'll no longer WANT to be able to process or remember your joyless hell of a life, But you'll suffer it for a good and long time
Also, I'm fairly sure that under OpenBSD at least, they include proprietary device firmware blobs, but the device drivers themselves are open source.
As someone who wants to build an HTPC based on a low power CPU, I can say that I am definitely interested in offloading hi-def video decoding to the GPU, being able to toss a fanless 8500 into a system with an intel atom or underclocked amd-le cpu, and knowing that 90% of the video decoding will be offloaded to the GPU certainly sets my mind at ease when I'm looking at 1080p streams.
Coder Hate like that brought by the shitty, bug filled drivers that ATI has a long history with?
I think ATI/AMD is on the right path, but they have a long history of being on the wrong path, while NVIDIA has always been more towards the middle (Not completely right, but not too badly wrong). It'll take some time before I jump to the ATI Bandwagon as completely as you obviously have.
Don't forget, lots of nightmarish IE specific stuff also "Just Works" for "The Majority", And ask any 64bit linux user exactly how much they love adobe for their support. (I think they have it now, after something like 4 years of waiting or running in emulation, or running a 32bit OS on their 64bit machines)
The magical wonderland I think of is one where anyone on any system can easily watch video online, not just the majority.
I think that in theory, the "free" part could be extremely enticing, after all, Opera, Safari, and IE could all just integrate this, no questions asked, and in this magical wonderland we could have cross platform video embedded in websites that "just works". Realistically though, that'll never happen. IE will support WMV and Safari will support Quicktime, and both will support theora through 3rd party plugins which will only be installed by people who know well enough to use firefox anyways.

Wet roads from the heavy rain may have caused an accident on I-70 Thursday morning that sent a person to the hospital.
The Kansas Turnpike authority says that around 7:50 a.m. a car was traveling down westbound I-70 just east of Topeka when it hydroplaned, slid off the interstate and crashed into a rock embankment.
KTA says that one person was taken to St Francis, however the extent of their injuries is not known.
Crews cleared the scene about an hour later.

The Asbury Park Press has added a high school wrestling championship archive to its online library. Clicking on links in the FILE DOWNLOADS area in the right column opens files that can be viewed by most word processing software, such as Word or WordPad on Windows PCs or TextEdit on Macintoshes.
Included in the archive compiled by staff sports editor Tom Jacobs, a former high school wrestling beat reporter are all past individual state tournament champions dating back to 1934, the first year of the tournament.
There also is a breakdown of champs by county, as well as a list of wrestlers with multiple state titles. Also included are the winners of the team sectional and group tournaments, updated through this season.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Jacobs at email@example.com.
