No matter how close you and your backpacking partner are, sometimes it's nice to have a well-ventilated backpacking tent with dual doors and vestibules like the Marmot Twilight 2-Person 3-Season Tent. A two-pole design makes for quick setup at the end of a long day, and the full-coverage fly and bathtub-style floor keep both of you bone-dry when it rains. Marmot even saw fit to include a gear loft and a footprint with this highly packable suite.
- Bare Bones fast-pitch option lets you carry just the poles, fly, and footprint to save extra weight on trail (footprint included)
- Polyurethane-coated floor and fly repel rain so you and your gear stay dry inside
- Fully taped fly and floor seams prevent water from sneaking in through fabric joints
- Catenary Cut floor means the floor material curves a few inches up the tent walls to reduce direct seam-to-ground contact
- Two doors and two corresponding vestibules give you and a partner easy entry, exit, and pack storage
- Mesh panels and a fly vent fight interior condensation to help you sleep during times of muggy weather
- Clear window on the fly lets you check the weather and features welded seams to prevent leaking
- DAC Featherlite poles are easy to assemble day or night and save weight without sacrificing durability or strength
- Included gear loft holds your nightly essentials within reach
- Reflective detailing helps you identify stealthy guy-lines at night
- Noise-free zippers prevent waking up cranky trail partners

Good day!
What is the reason of such high discount.
I like it
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
It's a decent little tent, i hate how its so hard to put up, when i went backpacking last week i was by myself and the thing took so long to put up/ take down..Kinda thinking about buying a bivy and selling this
BackcountryEDGE review
Wear a wetsuit for this one.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've been hiking and camping in the mountains of West Virginia for 30 years and NEVER had condensation issues. I bought this "upgraded" tent to replace my older tent that was developing holes in the tarp. There were two other 2-person tents in the group and they stayed totally dry each morning as I had checked their tents myself. My wife and I had to hang out our sleeping bags every morning for three mornings in a row to dry off our sopping wet bags and pads. Oh, did I mention that it never rained during this whole time? Too bad Marmot I absolutely LOVE your sleeping bags, however, back to the drawing board with this tent! The only bright side to this tent was that it was a breeze to set up and take down.
Best tent ever
we hitchhiked around Iceland for 1 whole month, slept in it every night, in many different ground and weather conditions, it was absolutely amazing. seeing all the tents in the campsite bend in the wind except for ours was a pride. getting out dry in the morning after a rain storm, getting out warm when there is ice all over the tent, and setting it up quickly and even alone in harsh wind and rain conditions, this tent really gave us what we payed for.
posting a photo at the Landmanalaugar base camp after a night with minus Celsius degrees and ice on the tent in the morning.
Great tent!
Has been all over the world and hasn't let me down! Never used it in the snow, but every other condition and hasn't leaked, broke or torn yet.
a beaut!
i like everything about this little tent. the vestibules provide ample room for anything you have, set up is a cinch and the stash pockets are handy, along with the included gear loft. that does sit a bit low but i am an average 5'5" gal so it didn't bother me much. easy enough to pack bare bones and i like the way the screen covers up the bottom half, for privacy. the little window is cool too, i am a geek what can i say.

Marmot Twilight 2P Tent Setup Video
Im 6'5 230 and I slept in this recently while my buddy tried out his new Home Alone. After the little excursion I ordered one of these for myself. It will be my one man tent. As far as some of the comments about size. You'll fit. Trust me. So will you a pair of size 15 boots and an Atmos 50. It started raining and I dozed off for about 45 min, woke up looked out the window and saw that it had stopped. All in all if your an oversized person like me this is a good one man tent. Whats great is that two people will also fit. Im sort of claustrophobic so I dont dig those little tents. I also dont like sleeping with anyone when Im camping. My girlfriend likes to carry her own setup with girly colors so I just got the green one. I like the color. The advertised features are good/great on this tent. The rain fly and bathtub bottom are designed so that no rain came in. Some manufactuers blow it when it comes to rain protection even though they might advertise it. Oh yeah, this thing fits in my pack like a charm.
Cold and rainy in Richwood.
Spent two days in a nasty rain. Couldn't keep the fire lit, but was able to stay dry in my new tent. Very good product.
Solid Tent
I just purchased this tent (first tent bought in about 10 years) after seeing it on sale on Backcountry. I set it up at my house once when it first arrived, and it's very easy to do so based on the colored poles. You can't mess it up.
2 days later I took it car camping at the lake, and we got torrential rains for two nights in a row. The rain fly kept me 100% dry, and the footprint worked perfectly. Tons of mud and soot run-off from the rains, and I was totally clean and dry inside. The vestibules seem decently big (although I don't have much to compare to.) The only negative that came to mind was the inside space. I'm about 5'10" 160lbs or so, and it would be pretty cozy with two people the same size in there at one time. Based on the previous reviews, I thought it would be a little bigger inside, but for my intended uses, it'll be just fine.
The orange color looks really cool in person, and it was nice being able to open the rain fly at the top to get some additional ventilation when I wanted. If you find it on sale, definitely worth picking up if you're looking for a simple, lightweight, quality tent.
Great Tent!
Love this tent! Almost half the tent is mesh and has great air flow. Included gear loft and footprint is a nice plus. Very pleased with the two shades of green. Very easy to setup. Im 6'2" and about 215lbs. and I fit perfectly with easily enough room for another person.
cool little window
Marmot Twilight 2-person tent
I just purchased a Twilight 2 for bicycle touring. The Twilight replaced my venerable North Face Rock 22. I chose the Hatch/Dark Cedar color because I do a lot of stealth camping when I tour so the cedar color is perfect for covert camping. I loaded the tent and my other gear onto my Cannondale T800 Friday morning (May 20, 2011) and headed across the Mackinaw bridge. ( No you can not ride your bicycle across the bridge, you have to load it on a Bridge authority pick up truck and be driven across--costs $2.00) It rained Saturday night, but it REALLY rained Sunday night--lots of vivid lightning--not one drop of rain entered the tent ! (I will update this review later after I have experienced a storm with strong winds. )
Set up was a snap. The pole system is ingenious. I love the window, but found the gear loft poorly placed and probably will not use it. A word of caution for anyone who is considering purchasing the Hatch/Dark Cedar: It is a bit dark inside --the window brightens the interior considerably and in my opinion if this tent is pitched in an unshaded site the sun will quickly turn it into a sweat lodge. So far I am very happy with my purchase.
Between this and the MSR hubba hubba? Which...
Between this and the MSR hubba hubba? Which one would you guys buy?
I own the Hubba Hubba and have spent one night in the Twilight. Overall, they are very similar and you would probably enjoy either one, but my preference is the MSR. I have used it in up to 8 inches of snow and have not had any issues. MSR warranty department is also very helpful, which I appreciated.

hey guys i'm looking for a lightweight but sturdy tent that handles wind and rain well
With a low profile and wide vestibules this tent will withstand winds and keep both you and your gear dry. That said, I am a huge fan of the Marmot Limelight, you can't go wrong with dome construction.
I am looking for a roomy two person tent...
I am looking for a roomy two person tent to replace an old two person tent that tapered from 52 inches wide to 42 inches wide. The floor of this tent is quite roomy at 60 inches wide, however, it appears that the wall are not very vertical. Has anyone encountered an issue with the slant of the walls? I am concerned mainly about sleeping space. Thanks.
I don't have any experience with the Marmot Twilight, but I have to recommend the Big Agnes Slide Mountain 2 in this category. The Slide Mountain has nearly vertical walls and around 40" of height. I have comfortably slept two adults and a 50 lb. dog in this tent (I'm 6'3"). It is a little bit lighter than the Twilight and I think the Big Agnes tents use better materials and construction (no offense to Marmot). The Slide Mountain has been discontinued and is on clearance, which makes it $20 more than the Twilight with the footprint. The Slide Mountain also has four mesh pockets built into the corners and an additional two mesh pockets beneath each door. The Slide Mountain uses a BOA system for tightening the rain fly from inside the tent. While a nice feature, it is a little bit gimmicky and was likely the downfall of this tent due to the added cost. I think if you are comfortable with a 2 person tent, and want one with vertical walls, then you can't go wrong with the Slide Mountain 2. You could also look into the Big Agnes Gore Pass 2 which is the same tent minus the BOA rain fly system. It also has a fast pitch option which the Slide Mountain does not.
I have a Big Agnes tent similar to the Slide, however, the 52 inches wide is just to narrow for my comfort. Hence, I am seeking a wider option.
The Twilight is 60" wide at the head, but tapers down to 49" at your feet. Aside from tapered tents, there aren't many out there that are wider than 52" (in the two man category). There are a few at 54" (e.g. North Face Rock 22 Bx) and Big Agnes makes the Salt Creek 2 and Lynx Pass 2 which both come in at 58" wide (although without vertical side walls). You may want to look into three person tents if you think that 52" is a little too narrow for comfort. You may be able to find a two person if you don't mind it tapering down at your feet so that you get a little more width for your torso. Good luck!
While this tent is advertised as a 2-person, I have found it to be a bit cramped for two men with just bags/pads and some clothes. It works fine for my wife and I, but not so much when backpacking with a buddy. I'm 6'1", 170 lbs, but with fairly broad shoulders. I'm seriously looking into moving to a 3-person Marmot as there isn't really any weight gain over this tent.

Has anyone used this tent in the snow? I'm looking for a tent that I can use in late fall/early winter without having to lug around a ten pound four season tent.
This is a 3 seasen tent...look at the http://www.backcountry.com/the-north-face-assault-2-tent-2-person-4-season
I used this tent on a 3 day 2 night camping trip to northern north carolina in late December of 2010. There was over a foot of snow on the ground, but there was zero precipitation while we were camping. The temperatures ranged from 25 during the day to 12 or so at night. This tent held up very good for me and I only developed a tiny amount of moisture on the inside of my rain fly. Besides that I stayed bone dry and warm.
This tent, although advertised as a 3 season tent, can be used in winter. Just make sure you have a decent zero degree sleeping bag and you'll be fine.
I have used this tent in cold weather conditions and it does very well. It is never going to replace a four season tent but it will work if you have other quality gear to compensate such as a quality bag and pad.
just got back from a 3 day winter backpacking trip in mi on the north country trail temps at night were 5 to 10 degrees the most snow we got was 2 in. never been wet in this tent does well in the wind also 25 to 30 mph in the sand dunes

Does the Trail weight here include the footprint and gear loft? (is the trail weight ALL of the tent, packed?

Is there any difference between this version and the "out of stock" versions (2007, 2008) besides the color choice?
There are so minor differences but the square footage and weights are about the same.
And what are those minor differences?

Here at NETWORK, we've been talking a lot about taxes lately: why are they important, where does our nation stand in terms of tax policy, and what are we advocating for? It's a confusing, number-heavy, and sometimes dry subject but, without a doubt, it is an essential conversation to be having!
What does this conversation have to do with the Mind the Gap! campaign? Read this piece on Taxes and Wealth to learn more!
But if you're like me, tax jargon can be a bit confusing. So we thought we'd share this Glossary of Terms.
And finally, the Center for American Progress created a fantastic resource this past June. Please take a look at this timely, smart, and helpful publication: Ten Charts that Prove the United States Is a Low-Tax Country.
We'd love it if you looked over these three resources and added your thoughts in the comments! What are you unanswered questions? What would you add?
Could this information be sent to all members of the House of Representatives? My computer skills are very limited or I would do it.

PADEN CITY - With just one senior and one junior on the Paden City roster, Wildcats coach Brent Croasmun fully expects his team to take some lumps this season.
The 16-man roster includes six sophomores and eight freshmen.
But the veteran coach looks at the situation in a unique way.
''We are going through a tunnel right now and there is a light at the end of it,'' Croasmun said as he enters his 14th season as coach. ''We have a good young corp of kids and we have 21 on our middle school team which is a high number for us.
''In the next three years, we could possibly have 26 or 27 guys so we see the light at the end of the tunnel. But it is a long tunnel and we have to work our way through it.''
Gone is first team all-stater Taylor Still, who was the leading Small School rusher with 1,632 yards (163.2 per game) and 21 touchdowns.
The tailback was the focal point of the Wildcats offense for much of the past three years.
Replacing Still won't be easy, but Croasmun likes what he has in sophomores Brandon Cross and Craig Allen.
''I really like how Brandon Cross runs the football,'' Croasmun said. ''He isn't quite as fast as Still was, but he is probably stronger. He kind of reminds me of (former Wildcats standout) Wes Cosper. Wes ran with some po-wer and I can see Cross do-ing that. He's been in the weight ro-om a lot so he's a lot stronger and he just loves football, loves the contact.
''Craig Allen is another good athlete that runs well and has good hands.''
Kane Pyles will also see time at running back.
Croasmun would love to have a balanced offense but he is looking more to pass and will have Zach Heasley back under center.
Heasley struggled some as a freshman but Croasmun sees much improvement from his signalcaller.
''He has grown up a whole lot (6-foot-2, 196 po-unds) and has spent a lot of time in the weight ro-om,'' Cro-asmun said. ''He is bigger, a lot stronger, and he still has a lot to learn as far as looking at the defense and learning our pass routes. That is something we have to continue to help him with but the thing about Zach is that I haven't had a kid in the last three or four years that wanted to play quarterback.
''He wants to play quarterback, even though I joke with him that I am going to move him to offensive tackle. We have some kids that can catch the ball so we want to spread the field. If we can't run the ball, we are going to throw it and I think Zach has made a big stride from last year to this year.''
Croasmun is very fond of his receivers in Kennedy Cain (6-5, 160), lone senior Drew Bidwell (5-9, 145) and Deven Price (5-8, 130). Andrew Dennis and Kris Byers will look for some time.
The offensive line was a veteran group last season but will have five new starters this season.
Dakota Gatian will play center, Logan Carroll and Tyler Stackpole will play guard and Denton Thomas and Luke Cooper will be the tackles. Tyler Kiger and Chris Morris will compete for time.
The defense loses some size but gains some quickness. Carroll and Cross will be the leaders at linebacker, while Allen and Pyles will apply pressure from the edges, with Heasley also hovering around the middle of the field.
Cooper, Gatian, and Thomas will line up on the defensive line. In the secondary, Price, Bidwell, and Cain will be the defensive backs.
Heasley will take care of the kicking duties, with Cain also doing some punting.
''There are going to be teams we are going to be able to match up with and have a chance to win, but we are going to struggle at times because of our youth,'' Croasmun said. ''But I really love these kids, love their attitudes. We have some sophomores that played a little bit as freshmen. The good thing is that all these kids are pretty good athletes.''
Assisting Croasmun are Ron Casto, Mike Pierce, and Toby Willis.
The season is being dedicated to Matt Barker, a would-be senior receiver and defensive lineman who passed away in a car accident in July.

Cost of Attendance (COA), also referred to as a student's Budget or Cost of Education, is the starting point in determining an applicant's eligibility for federal assistance (and many other types of financial aid too). The student's Family Contribution (calculated from his/her 2010/2011 FAFSA) is subtracted from the assigned COA to obtain the applicant's Financial Need. The UCM Office of Student Financial Services then attempts to meet the Financial Need by offering the applicant a 'package' of federal grant (Pell, SEOG, ACG and/or SMART ), loan (Perkins and Subsidized Stafford Loan), and/or employment (Work-Study) assistance. This federal aid supplements any scholarships, Vocational Rehabilitation benefits, state assistance, VA benefits, etc. the student may also be receiving. Unsubsidized Stafford (student) Loan and PLUS (parent) Loan funds may also be included in a student's aid package. This assistance not only helps meet the calculated Financial Need, but also fills in any gap between the Financial Need and the assigned COA.
It's very important to understand that the COA assigned to a FAFSA applicant is an estimate of a typical student's average educational and living expenses to attend the University of Central Missouri. The COA seldom reflects the exact costs incurred by any particular individual nor is it an amount owed to UCM. Rather, the COA is the sum of several federally-mandated allowances, and simply represents the student's anticipated expenses at a low but reasonable standard of living.
Tuition and Fees
Two amounts ($6,400 and $11,900) are used to reflect the average estimated instructional fees (tuition) charged to a typical student for the 2010/2011 9-month school year. $6,400 is assigned to students who are charged Missouri resident fees, and $11,900 is assigned to students paying non-resident fees. UCM historical records indicate that a full-time undergraduate student usually enrolls for 15 credit hours per semester to complete his/her degree in 8 - 10 semesters. The typical full-time graduate student, on the other hand, normally enrolls for 9 graduate credit hours per semester. The two allowances are based on these credit hour calculations and are weighted averages (according to the percentage of enrolled students at UCM classified undergraduate vs. graduate).
Books and Supplies
$600 is the average amount the typical full-time UCM undergraduate or graduate student will spend for the rental and/or purchase of textbooks and necessary supplies during the 9-month 2010/2011 school year. The cost of a personal computer is not included in a student's COA since 1) the purchase of a computer is not required of all students at UCM, 2) many labs exist throughout campus where students have access to computer workstations, and 3) a personal computer and printer can be purchased from numerous retail sources for a very reasonable sum.
Room and Board
The Room and Board allowance, in accordance with federal financial aid regulations, reflects only the student's estimated living costs. This allowance cannot take into account the expenses of any family members. UCM offers several residence hall and meal plan choices. The $6,650 Room and Board allowance for a student not living with a parent or adult relative reflects the options most frequently selected. The $6,650 allowance is also assigned to a student who lives in an off-campus apartment or house (singly or with roommates). This is because doing so often represents a choice made by the student. A lower Room and Board allowance ($1800) is assigned to an applicant who will reside with a parent or other adult relative (other than a spouse) during the 9-month 2010/2011 school year.
Travel and Miscellaneous Expenses
Two amounts ($900 and $2,300, according to a student's living arrangements) are assigned to account for an applicant's average transportation expenses to and from UCM, operating and maintaining a vehicle, clothing and laundry, insurance, recreation, and other miscellaneous costs associated with the person maintaining a low but reasonable standard of living during the 2010/2011 school year.
Dependent Care
Reasonable costs can be added to a student's COA in accordance with the information listed on a properly completed and signed 2010/2011 Childcare Expenses Worksheet. However, such an adjustment must:
Study Abroad
Additional costs can be added to a student's COA in accordance with the information listed on a properly completed and signed Request to Receive Financial Aid for International Study
Flight Training
Reasonable costs will be added to a student's COA in accordance with the flight training classes the student enrolls for, as indicated on a properly completed and signed Flight Training Request. However, the student normally must also be majoring in an aviation-related degree program offered by UCM's Department of Aviation.
Medical Expenses
Reasonable costs can be added to a student's COA (or changes often can be made to the adjusted gross income data) in accordance with the information listed on a properly completed and signed Medical Expenses Adjustment Request. However, such an adjustment must:

Note: An additional $100 ($50 per semester) is added to the 2010/2011 school year COA at the time the student's Federal Stafford Loan and/or PLUS Loan funds are certified. This amount accounts for the average Loan Fees withheld by the federal government from the gross Stafford (student) Loan and PLUS (parent) Loan amount(s) certified for UCM's loan applicants.
2011 Summer Session
A special 2011 Summer Session Cost-of-Attendance is not assigned to a summer financial aid applicant. Instead the 2010/2011 amounts for Tuition and Fees, Books and Supplies, Room and Board, etc. are 'extended' for the entire 12-month academic period (August 2010 through July 2011), after the student submits the 2011 Summer Session Request for Financial Assistance (available in March of 2011).

Your Rights To Make Health Care Decisions
A Summary of Connecticut Law
Prepared by the Office of the Attorney General for the Department of Social Services and Department of Public Health © 2006
Your Rights to Make Health Care Decisions
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal
You have the right to make health care decisions about the medical care you receive. If you do not want certain treatments, you have the right to tell your physician you do not want them and have your wishes followed. You also have the right to receive information from your physician to assist you in reaching a decision about what medical care is to be provided to you.
There may come a time when you are unable to actively participate in determining your treatment due to serious illness, injury or other disability. This web page discusses the options available in Connecticut to help you to provide written instructions to guide your physician, family and others as to what treatment choices you desire to be made if you can not express your wishes. It also shows you how to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have the right to make health care decisions?
A: Yes. Adult patients in Connecticut have the right to determine what, if any, medical treatment they will receive. If you can understand the nature and consequences of the health care decisions that you are being asked to make, you may agree to treatment that may help you or you may refuse treatment even if the treatment might keep you alive longer.
Q: Do I have the right to information needed to make a health care decision?
Yes. Physicians have the responsibility to provide patients with information that can help them to make a decision. Your physician will explain:
• what treatments may help you;
• how each treatment may affect you, that is, how it can help you and what, if any, serious problems or side effects the treatment is likely to cause;
• what may happen if you decide not to receive treatment.
Your physician may also recommend what, if any, treatment is medically appropriate, but the final decision is yours to make. All of this information is provided so you can exercise your right to decide your treatment wisely.
Q: What is an advance directive?
An advance directive is a legal document through which you may provide your directions or express your preferences concerning your medical care and/or to appoint someone to act on your behalf. Physicians and others use them when you are unable to make or communicate your decisions about your medical treatment. Advance directives are prepared before any condition or circumstance occurs that causes you to be unable to actively make a decision about your medical care. In Connecticut, there are two types of advance directives:
• the living will or health care instructions
• the appointment of a health care representative
Q: Must I have an advance directive?
No. You do not have to make a living will or other type of advance directive to receive medical care or to be admitted to a hospital, nursing home or other health care facility. No person can be denied medical care or admission based on whether they have signed a living will or other type of advance directive.If someone refuses to provide you medical care or admit you unless you sign a living will or other type of advance directive, contact the Department of Public Health in Hartford, Connecticut at 860-509-7400.
Q: What is a living will?
A living will is a document that states your wishes regarding any kind of health care you may receive. Should you be in a terminal condition or permanently unconscious, the living will can also tell your physician whether you want "life support systems" to keep you alive or whether you do not want to receive such treatment, even if the result is your death. A living will goes into effect only when you are unable to make or communicate your decisions about your medical care.
Q: What does terminal condition and permanently unconscious mean?
A patient is in a "terminal condition" when the physician finds that the patient has a condition which is (1) incurable or irreversible and (2) will result in death within a relatively short time if life support systems are not provided. "Permanently unconscious" means a permanent coma or persistent vegetative state where the patient is not aware of himself or his surroundings and is unresponsive.
Q: What is a life support system?
A "life support system" is a form of treatment that only delays the time of your death or maintains you in a state of permanent unconsciousness. Life support systems may include among other things:
• devices such as respirators and dialysis;
• cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR);
• food and fluids supplied by artificial means, such as feeding tubes and intravenous fluids.
It does not include:
• normal means of eating and drinking, such as eating with assistance of another person or through a straw;
• medications that help manage pain;
Q:Will I receive medication for pain if I have a living will?
Yes. A living will does not affect the requirement that your doctor provide you with pain medication or care designed solely to maintain your physical comfort (for example, care designed to maintain your circulation or the health of your skin and muscles). This type of care must be provided whenever appropriate.
Q: What is a health care representative?
A health care representative is a person whom you authorize in writing to make any and all health care decisions on your behalf including the decision whether to withhold or withdraw life support systems. A health care representative does not act unless you are unable to make or communicate your decisions about your medical care. The health care representative will make decisions on your behalf based on your wishes, as stated in a living will or as otherwise known to your health care representative. In the event your wishes are not clear or a situation arises that you did not anticipate, your health care representative will make a decision in your best interests, based upon what is known of your wishes.
Q: What kind of treatment decisions can be made by a health care representative?
A health care representative can make any and all health care decisions for you, including the decision to accept or refuse any treatment, service or procedure used to diagnose or treat any physical or mental condition. The health care representative can also make the decision to provide, withhold or withdraw life support systems. The health care representative cannot make decisions for certain specific treatments which by law have special requirements.
Q: How will my health care representative know when to get involved in making decisions for me?
At any time after you appoint your health care representative, your health care representative can ask your attending physician to provide written notice if your physician finds that you are unable to make or communicate your decisions about your medical care. Even if your health care representative does not do so, your health care providers will usually seek out your health care representative once they determine that you are unable to make or communicate your decisions about your medical care.
Q: What is a conservator?
A "conservator of the person" is someone appointed by the Probate Court when the Court finds that a person is incapable of caring for himself/herself including the inability to make decisions about his or her medical care. A person who is conserved by a court is known as a "ward". The conservator of the person is responsible for making sure that the ward's health and safety needs are taken care of and generally also has the power to give consent for the ward's medical care, treatment and services. You can name in advance the person you want the Court to appoint as your conservator if you become incapable of making your own decisions. If you have a conservator, he or she will be consulted in all medical care decisions. If you have a living will, however, the conservator's consent is not required to carry out your wishes as expressed in the living will. If a conservator is later appointed for you, he or she must follow your health care instructions, either as expressed in a living will, or as otherwise known to your conservator made while you were able to make and communicate health care decisions. Further, a conservator cannot revoke your advance directives without a probate court order.
Q: How are decisions made if I have both a health care representative and a conservator?
Generally, the decision of a health care representative will be followed if the conservator and health care representative disagree unless the probate court orders otherwise. This rule may not apply when the conservator has been appointed in some particular situations.
Q: What advance directives should I have?
If you want to be sure that your wishes about your medical care are known if you cannot express them yourself, you should have a living will and you should also appoint a health care representative. Each of these advance directives has a special importance. If you are unable to make or communicate your preferences as to your medical care, your physician will likely look first to your living will as the source of your wishes. Your health care representative can make decisions on your behalf according to what is stated in your living will. In situations that are not addressed by your living will, your health care representative can make a decision in your best interests consistent with what is known of your wishes.
Q: Who can I name as my health care representative or as my conservator
If you wish to you can name the same person to be your health care representative and to be your conservator. The following persons cannot be named your health care representative:
• your physician;
• if you are a patient at a hospital or nursing home or if you have applied for admission, the operators, administrators, and employees of the facility;
• an administrator or employee of a government agency responsible for paying for your medical care. Other than these restrictions, you can name anyone you feel is appropriate to serve as your health care representative. Of course, you should speak to the person whom you intend to name and be sure of his or her willingness to serve and to
act on your wishes.
Q: Do I need a lawyer to create an advance directive?
No. You do not need a lawyer to create an advance directive. You can use the forms provided on this website.
Q: Do I need a notary to create an advance directive?
Except for optional forms, the forms do not require the use of a notary. An additional optional form called a witnesses' affidavit that is included among the
forms provided on this website
requires a notary public or a lawyer to verify the signature of the witnesses. This form is discussed in more detail in the next section. If you have legal questions, you should consult a lawyer.
Q: Do I have to sign my advance directives in front of witnesses?
Yes. You must sign the document in the presence of two witnesses in order for the advance directives to be valid. The witnesses then sign the form. For the living will and the appointment of health care representative, an optional form is provided called a
witnesses' affidavit
. It is the witnesses' sworn statement that they saw you sign the living will or appointment form, that you were of sound mind and it was your free choice to do so. In the event that there is a dispute regarding your living will or appointment of a health care representative, the witnesses' affidavits support its validity. This affidavit requires the use of an attorney or notary public. No other form requires the use of a notary or an attorney.
Q: Who can witness my signature on an advance directive?
In general, Connecticut law does not state who may or may not be a witness to your advance directive. An important exception is that the person who you appoint to be your health care representative or as your conservator cannot be a witness to your signature of the appointment form.
Q: Once I complete an advance directive what should I do?
You should tell the following persons that you have completed an advance directive and give them copies of the directives you have made:
• your physician;
• the person(s) you have named as a health care representative;
• anyone who will make the existence of your advance directives known if you cannot do so yourself, such as family members, close friends, your clergy or lawyer.
You should also bring copies with you when you are admitted to a hospital, nursing home or other health care facility. The copies will be made part of your medical record.
Q: After I complete an advance directive, can I revoke it?
Yes. You can revoke your living will or appointment of a health care representative at any time. A living will can be revoked either orally or in writing. If you sign a new living will, it may revoke any prior living will you made. However, to revoke your appointment of a health care representative, you must do so in writing that is observed and signed by two witnesses in order for the revocation to be valid. Remember whenever you revoke an advance directive to tell your physician and others who have copies of your advance directive. To revoke your designation of a conservator, you can do so either in writing or by making a new designation which states that earlier designations are revoked. It is advisable to put any revocation in writing. However, once a court has appointed a conservator, it cannot be revoked without a court order.
Q: If I already have a living will or appointed someone to make health care decisions, do I need a new one?
No. Connecticut's living will statutes were revised effective October 1, 2006. If your living will and other advance directives, such as a health care agent or power of attorney for health care, were completed prior to this date, they are still valid, although they are slightly different than the new advance directives. On October 1, 2006, the health care representative replaced the appointment of a health care agent and power of attorney for health care. The health care representative is, in effect, a combination of these two types of advance directives. The new living will makes clear that the living will can be used to provide your instructions regarding any type of health care, not just life support systems.
Q: If I don't have an advance directive, how will my wishes be considered if I am unable to speak for myself?
If you are unable to make and communicate your decision concerning your medical care and you do not have a living will, your physician can consult with other persons to determine what your wishes are regarding the withholding or withdrawal of life support systems. If you have discussed your wishes with your physician, he or she will, of course, know your stated wishes. Your physician may also ask your health care representative, your next of kin or close relatives and your conservator, if one has been appointed, what you have told them about your wishes regarding withholding or withdrawing life support systems. If your wishes are unknown, then decisions will be made based upon what is in your best interests. It is not recommended that you rely on oral instructions to these individuals to make your wishes known. If there is no living will, such instructions are required to be specific and may need to be proven in a court. You are better advised to complete a living will or appoint a health care representative if you want to be sure that your wishes will be understood and known in the event you are unable to state them yourself.
Q: What is a document of anatomical gift?
It is a document in which you make a gift of all or any part of your body to take effect upon death. Any adult may make an anatomical gift in writing, including through a will, a donor card or by a statement imprinted or attached to a motor vehicle operator's license. An anatomical gift may be made for the purpose of transplants, therapy, research, medical or dental education, or the advancement of medical or dental science. If you do not limit the gift's purpose to one or some of these uses, the gift can be used for any of these purposes. You may select who receives the gift—a hospital, physician, college, or an organ procurement group. You may also specify that the gift be used for transplant or therapy for a particular person. If no one is named to receive the gift, any hospital may do so.
Q: Can I revoke an anatomical gift?
Yes. An anatomical gift may be revoked or changed only by (1) a signed statement; (2) an oral statement in the presence of two witnesses; (3) or by informing your physician if you are in a terminal condition. An anatomical gift may not be revoked after the donor's death.
Q: What if I have more questions?
If you have additional questions about advance directives, discuss them with your physician and family. A social worker, patient representative or chaplain may be able to assist you, but they cannot provide legal advice. If you have legal questions, you should speak with a lawyer.

Yulman Stadium Construction
Jan. 29, 2013
New Orleans - Late Friday afternoon (Jan. 25), New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu signed the agreement with Tulane University that outlines the use and operation of Yulman Stadium, the university's new on-campus stadium slated to open in the fall of 2014.
"This has been a long process, which involved compromise and patience among all the parties concerned. We thank and appreciate the work of Mayor Mitch Landrieu and his staff to bring the process to closure," said Tulane President Scott Cowen.
"We now begin an exciting era for Tulane, and for the City of New Orleans as well. All of us will enjoy a beautiful football and recreational facility, plus our city will have the economic benefit that comes from the construction and operation of a $60 million stadium," Cowen added.
Tulane Athletics Director Rick Dickson echoes Cowen's enthusiasm. "The Green Wave will have the home field advantage that we have missed for the last 35 years and our friends, fans and neighbors will have the chance to experience a first-class collegiate football experience on Tulane's beautiful campus," he said.
With the signed agreement came the green light for construction of the new facility. Soon after the signing, Tulane got its first permits, which will allow the start of demolition today.
Stadium contractor Woodward Design Build will begin taking down the practice field bleachers, the scoreboard and the tennis court stands, and will remove the turf and track around the existing practice field.
Woodward may also begin the removal and relocation of underground utilities and sidewalks in the stadium footprint this week.
Groundbreaking and pile driving are set to start in late February.

I have a Debian Server with IMAP/Fetchmail/Postfix emails and other services already working and running. I am wondering if installing Zimbra would mess all my services and emails. I would like to install all packages but still like to be able to keep working the old way too, is that possible? Does Zimbra install its services to replace the ones I already have (read IMAP, mail directories, policies, settings..)? I am a little scared about this..
Thanks in advance!

Audrey Celebrates Women's History Month | Top 10 Asian American High School Girls Next Door
Posted By Audrey Archives On May 28, 2013 @ 7:18 pm In Pop Culture | Comments Disabled
High school: such a pivotal time in young women's lives for college/career decisions, familial tension, first loves, first rejections, no-holds-barred attitude and unexpected self-discoveries.
And when high school years are depicted on American film and television, extracurricular activities may involve solving murder mysteries (Pretty Little Liars), and unrequited love is sometimes best told through song (T.V. Carpio's cover of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" in Across the Universe [1]).
One could argue that Tamlyn Tomita's Kumiko [2] was the ultimate Asian American high school "girl-next-door" crush, even if, back in 1986, the Karate Kid had to travel all the way to Japan to be in the right neighborhood. But in the past 25 years, there have many memorable Asian American girls — as well as British Asians, Asian-Scots and Asian Canadians that we snuck onto the list — that we can look up to (or reminisce with) in these classic tales of high school.
Below are our Top 10 Asian American High School Girls Next Door:
10. Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz); Glee
Jenna Ushkowitz has been playing Tina on Glee since the first season debuted in 2009. After dating Artie, she connected with "the other Asian," Mike Chang (Harry Shum Jr.), making them arguably the most prominent Asian American couple on television. As part of the glee club, Jenna has had many notable performances, covering songs such as "True Colors [3]," "My Funny Valentine [4]," and "Gangnam Style [5]."
9. Cho Chang (Katie Leung); Harry Potter
3,000 girls auditioned for the role of Cho Chang, and the Scottish Katie Leung made her debut in 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. As Harry Potter's first love interest, she also gives him his first kiss. Though Harry and Cho's romance is short-lived, bookended by Cedric's death and Cho's jealousy of Hermione, Leung continued to reprise her role until the final installment.
8. Margaret Yang (Sarah Tanaka); Rushmore
Rushmore fans remember Margaret Yang as the sweet, bespectacled student at Grover Cleveland High School who has a crush on Jason Schwartzman's Max Fischer. Unfortunately, the 10th grade extracurricular activities junkie is too busy chasing after the new teacher (Olivia Williams) to pay any attention to her. Yet, Margaret Yang is the one that ultimately gets to call Max out on his bullshit — "You're a real jerk to me, you know that?" — eliciting a well-earned apology that made Noise to Signal's 10 Most Affecting Wes Anderson Moments [6].
7. Annabelle Manalo (Joy Bisco); The Debut
In 2000's The Debut, Joy Bisco plays Annabelle Manalo, the best friend of Rose Mercado (Bernadette Balagtas), who is having her 18th birthday party (aka her "debut"). Rose's brother Ben, played by Dante Basco, is the high school senior who clashes with his father and struggles to reconcile his Filipino American identity. Annabelle, a beautiful dancer with a dangerous thug boyfriend, easily charms Ben by putting him at ease on the dance floor ("If you're Filipino, you can cha cha. It is in the blood."), and, as an unexpected confidante, she makes a lasting impression on Ben and viewers alike.
6. Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell); Pretty Little Liars
The sporty Emily Fields, played by half Filipina, half Irish/Scottish actress Shay Mitchell, is one of the four leads in the murder mystery ABC Family series Pretty Little Liars, which debuted in 2010 and is currently in its third season. In the first season of the show, Emily comes out of the closet to both her friends and later to her parents (played by Hapa actors Eric Steinberg and Nia Peeples). Since then, the series has explored her difficult relationship with her mother and subsequent tragedies in the girls' mysterious lives.

5. Knives Chau (Ellen Wong); Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Scorned by her first love Scott Pilgrim, Knives Chau is a 17-year-old girl learning about heartbreak (and boys who aren't the best at communication) for the first time. Played by Ellen Wong, Knives is not just an ex determined to win her boyfriend back, but a fireball of passionate energy that bursts out of the screen even we discover she has all these hidden ninja moves up her sleeve.
4. Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens): High School Musical
In the popular High School Musical franchise, Gabriella Montez — played by the Chinese-Filipino-Spanish-Irish-Native American actress-singer-dancer Vanessa Hudgens — was ultimate high school dream girl to the ultimate high school dream boy, Troy Bolton, played by Zac Efron. The dream only intensified when the fictional relationship spilled over into reality: the High School Musical movies were released from 2006-2008, while the two lead actors were real-life lovebirds until 2010. While the first two movies were made-for-television, the stakes were upped when High School Musical 3: Senior Year was brought to the big screen.
3. Jesminder "Jess" Bhamra (Parminder Nagra); Bend it Like Beckham
The 2002 film that picked up Golden Globe and British Academy Award nominations features Parminder Nagra as Jess, a tomboy in London who idolizes David Beckham and wants to play football (soccer), even though her Indian immigrant parents will not allow it. This ultimate underdog story, directed by Gurinder Chadha, not only kickstarted Nagra's career (as she would later play Dr. Neela Rasgotra on the hit show ER for six years), but it also showcased early performances by Keira Knightley, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Archie Panjabi.
2. Lana Lang (Kristen Kreuk): Smallville
Though Smallville ran for 10 seasons, during which the relationship between Clark Kent and Lana Lang would reach greater highs and lows, involving a time travel crystal and eventual break-up, we will focus on the high school years — Seasons 1-4 — for the purposes of this list. The half Dutch, half Chinese Kristen Kreuk played Lana Lang, Clark Kent's literal girl next door. Clark Kent (as Superman) saves her again and again, without her knowledge, but as their feelings for each other deepen, his secretive behavior continues to be a source of distrust. Smallville's ultimate high school moment has to be when Lifehouse comes to sing at their prom, and Clark asks Lana to dance. In that pure, fleeting moment, all other potential love interests understand that there's no coming in between them.
1. Lane Kim (Keiko Agena): Gilmore Girls
And my personal favorite has got to be Lane Kim, Rory Gilmore's best friend in Gilmore Girls, which ran from 2000-2007. The character of Lane was loosely based on Helen Pai, a Korean American producer on the show who was raised as a Seventh Day Adventist. Because Lane's super strict mother (played by Emily Kuroda) disapproves of everything loud, and non-Christian, and non-mother-approved (which is most things), the aspiring drummer has secrecy perfected to a tee — hiding her rock CD collection under the floor boards of her room and concocting elaborate stories so she can date without her mother finding out. And, as an actress, Keiko Agena perfected delivering Amy Sherman-Palladino's cleverly complex lines at super speed, a fun requisite for being on Gilmore Girls in the first place.

This instructional video demonstrates the differences between a traditional diving mask and a full face diving mask. Full Face Diving Masks cover the diver's entire face and have some special features. Using a full face mask allows the diver to breathe from both the mouth and nose, has less fatigue because the diver does not have to bite down on a mouth piece during the dive. They are excellent for colder water, do not require defogging and are almost impossible to flood.
Regular diving masks are easier to put on and take off. They are easier to clear water out if flooded. Easier to view out of a regular mask and easier to maintain. Standard diving masks are available in different frames, colors and Sizes.

SHADYSIDE - The River Pilots are rolling.
After some early season hiccups, the Pilots have officially turned it on and Shadyside will certainly agree after their Friday night encounter.
Using a sound defense and an impressive middle two quarters, the Pilots improved to 8-3 by virtue of a 65-47 victory against the Tigers.
''Our defense is really coming around,'' River coach Mark Romick said. ''Coach (Gard) Curtis puts his heart and soul into that defense and the kids are playing well.''
Not one Shadyside player reached double figures and its leading scorer was freshman Jon Michael Schuetz, who played only in the fourth quarter.
On top of the individual stats, the Pilots forced 21 turnovers and in that third quarter, held Shadyside to six points.
Shadyside coach Ed Andes sent a message to his club in the fourth quarter. He emptied his bench and played reserves for the duration.
''Through three quarters we had 27 points,'' Andes lamented. ''We're getting beat by 23 after the third and I knew we weren't coming back. We just didn't have it. So, why play kids when the effort isn't there? I just played these other kids because I wanted to see effort. We got worse as the game went along."''
Shadyside led by six at a juncture in the middle of the first quarter after an Adam Stupak triple made it 17-11.
The Pilots made sure that was the Tigers' final spurt. River closed the half on a 17-4 run to lead 28-21 and never looked back.
Senior Matt Marconi ignited the Pilots in the first half, scoring 12 of his 16 points.
The Pilots only had one trey in the first half.
''We were trying to take away the 3-point shot,'' Andes said. ''But, we must have not realized that they were back-cutting us for layups."''
In the third, Brett Price found the groove, scoring in a bevy of ways. He hit two 3s, including an impressive step-back. He slashed and scored on the drive as well. He finished with a team-high 21 points and yanked down seven rebounds.
Shadyside's leading scorers - Austin Dorris and Adam Stupak - evenly divided 14 points.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KSDK) - Traffic along Interstate 55 south of downtown St. Louis was brought to a halt Thursday morning after three separate accidents involving multiple vehicles.
The accidents occurred around 7 a.m. near the Interstate 55/44 interchange.
Two of the accidents occurred in the northbound lanes. The other accident happened in the southbound lanes.
NewsChannel 5 will have more information on this story as it becomes available.


text: By Russ PankoninThe Imperial Republican Pumping at the Rock Creek augmentation project has reached the capacity of the pipeline with a total of 10 wells operating. During the Upper Republican Natural Resources District meeting last week, board member received updates on the progress of the project. With 10 wells operating, the field is producing 12,736 gallons per minute. The pumps are operating at various levels, ranging from a high of 1,465 gpm to 1,108 gpm with pressures running between 50-70 lbs. At present pumping levels, the amount of water flowing into the Republican River should total 16,000 acre-feet (AF) by the end of the year. The URNRD gets 69 percent credit towards compact com-pliance for each acre-foot pumped. At that rate, URNRD will get credit for slightly more than 11,000 AF. To remain in compliance, the Department of Natural Resources has told the Upper Republican NRD that it needs to offset 10,680 AF of over-pumping that occurred in 2012. Should a big rain event occur in the district, pumping from the project could be reduced, according to Assistant Manager Dirk Dinnel.Stream Flow Up Dinnel said historic stream flow in the Republican River at Parks totalled 13-15 cubic feet per second (cfs) prior to irrigation development. Flows in the river now measure 33 cfs, which is more than double historic levels. When pumping at the project began, stream flow in the Republican stood at 7 cfs. Dinnel said pumping costs are running from $55,000 to $60,000 per month during the non-irrigation rate season. That figure will increase to around $70,000 per month during the irrigation rate season.

Longtime Fallbrook dentist retires
For 37 steady years, Jim Helms was a dentist.
His hands were accustomed to filling cavities and fitting crowns in his East Mission Road office — and he must have been good at it, because now that he has retired to pursue sculpting, his patients have been calling or stopping him in the street to say they miss him.
From the dentist's chair in 1975 to this month's exhibit in a Main Avenue gallery, Helms has followed a unique path to retirement.
"It was time," he said over coffee on a recent morning. "My hands weren't as strong, they weren't as steady."
Meanwhile, over the past 13 years, his passion for making art had grown — specifically, for metal sculpture, which has enjoyed a strong presence in Fallbrook over the last decade.
Unlike some second-career artists, who turn to watercolor or woodworking as a hobby to take the edge off retirement, Helms has harbored a love for art since he was a young man.
In 1969, the year he married Victoria Helms, the two were standing in line for a show at the L.A. County Museum of Art when he turned and said, "I'd love to work here."
"I knew I was going to go to dental school in a few months, and I needed a part-time job," Helms recalled. "Victoria said, 'I'll save your spot in line.' So I walked into the bookstore and said, 'Do you know where I can apply for a job?'"
He was hired for his unique qualifications: "There was one man and five women in the bookstore, and the man was relatively short. Because of my height, I could put all the books on the top shelves. Mondays, the museum was closed, and it was fabulous — you could walk in and have a Rodin sculpture or Rembrandt painting all to yourself."
Helms graduated from the University of Southern California in 1974 and set up shop in Fallbrook the following year: "I started over on Main Street, across from the Shell gas station, and in '85 I moved to the building where I practiced on East Mission."
For 25 years, art was in the back of his mind. He had three children, two grandchildren and plenty of work: "When our daughter moved away in 1999 to go to college, then it was like, 'Oh, what can I do now?'"
He found the answer at the Fallbrook School of the Arts, where he first enrolled to learn bronze sculpting. He quickly progressed to sheet metal, and after the Rice fire tore through Fallbrook's eastern hills in 2007, he assembled a tribute to the hundreds of homeless families using pieces of charred mobile homes at Valley Oaks off Reche Road.
"The owners gave me permission to go to three separate sites there, where I collected the material," he recalled.
Titled "Park Angel," that piece consisted of a metal trash can, rain gutters, carport and copper tubing. It remained in its place in front of the mobile-home park for most of the following year, and in downtown Fallbrook's art corridor, folks started to remember his name not as a dentist, but as a sculptor.
The first time I met Helms, he had a camera in his hand, and he was telling me the story of how he became the unofficial construction photographer as the new Fallbrook library was taking shape in 2010.
To me, he was the dentist who would walk over on his lunch break and snap a few dozen frames of the insulation being installed, or the roofers at work, or the trellis being lowered into place.

Trey Hillman media session: April 26
Here's what manager Trey Hillman had to say Monday afternoon before the game vs. Seattle:
On facing Mariners' right-handed pitcher Felix Hernandez:
"He's nasty. He's good at making you chase, so we'll need to be disciplined."
On what the Royals need to keep improving:
"We need more stability. The offense gets enough hits, but we still leave runners stranded…and we give up more runs than anyone in the MLB in the seventh inning…more consistency would help."
On Rick Ankiel's status (strained right quad):
"He's ok, still a little stiff. He was pinch-hittable yesterday, so we'll see how he is today and re-evaluate for tomorrow."
On getting more out of the starting pitchers:
"We're getting enough. We need to keep guys healthy as long as possible. Eventually we'll let guys get to 120 pitches."
On the Royals' defense:
"It's not as good as I'd hoped, specifically on double-plays. Overall, Podsednik is a great left fielder, but with the dimensions and wind there's a learning curve. Balls in the left field corner are pretty difficult."
On being comfortable with the bullpen:
"I'm closer than opening day, but we've had a few bumps. I'm comfortable with Rupe to get the job done, and Parrish is good when he's not overused. He [Parrish] has one of the best left-on-left breaking balls and I still think we can get the same Tejeda as last year."

Entrepreneurs should cultivate relationships with outsiders who can offer support and advice, even though "mentoring," as it's often called, is typically considered an instrument of corporate career-building. In this insightful article by an entrepreneur who founded a non-profit organization to pair owners of young companies with seasoned business owners, the author advises entrepreneurs to seek help from peers as well as superiors and from several outsiders rather than a single guru.
Three dogs, two guys, and one 59-cent biscuit cutter add up to powerful national public relations: A high-brow bakery for dogs becomes the toast of prestigious publications and broadcast outlets (The Wall Street Journal, the cover of Forbes, People magazine and The Oprah Winfrey Show). In this engaging article, its co-founder serves up tips that are as tough as the business is winsome for your doing the same. Among the suggestions: massage that rookie from the local weekly.
Entrepreneurs hoping to preserve wealth may want to avoid selling big stakes in their businesses to raise capital. The founder of a major mutual-funds company built his net worth by selling preferred, rather than common, stock.
When Michele McGeoy sold her first software start-up, she thought she was doing the best thing for her stakeholders. But, a few years later the new owners resold the company out of state, leaving her and her employees out of work. Having lost control by giving up ownership, McGeoy found a better solution for her next venture: She empowered employees by making them stakeholders and created a culture that promotes healthy growth.
Small and growing companies are discovering lucrative new markets abroad. Developing countries are importing products, tech know-how and system support and offering franchising, licensing and distribution opportunities. If your company is expanding abroad, you need to know what you're getting into.
When Frieda Caplan went into business for herself, she was the only woman in the produce industry. That gave her a national presence, but the real reason for her success was that her company filled an important niche. Now it's the leading distributor of specialty fruits and vegetables. Along the way, the founder learned some important lessons about financing. And she's still going to work every day-with her daughters.
When cash flow turned positive and profits started coming in, the co-founder of an Internet start-up sought his advisory board's approval for new expenses. What he got was a barrage of questions: "Where are next year's projections? What's your mission statement?" As the business grew, the board made sure it stayed on track financially, raising prices as well as morale. And when the company was acquired, everybody cashed in.
Are today's newly wealthy entrepreneurs robber barons or 21st-century heroes? Those who profit from the process of wealth creation are under increasing pressure to apply their skills and business experience to philanthropic ventures.
Adaptation to change is a top priority for the founder of a fast-growing company that provides information-management solutions for home-care agencies. Leadership sets the standards for performance. But the bottom line is the bottom line, especially in tighter capital markets. The best way to foster endurance is to build value by satisfying your paying customers.
After selling her first company, a newly wealthy software entrepreneur felt that writing checks to charity wasn't enough. So, she set up a nonprofit that runs a business employing disadvantaged young people. Then she joined an organization advocating economic fairness in society. Now she's providing for her daughter's education and learning about investment strategies.
