Entrepreneurship has a long and rich history at Tuck. Professors Brian Quinn and Paul Paganucci taught the first entrepreneurship course in the 1970s. Since then, interest in entrepreneurship among students has remained strong, with as many as 40% of students recently listing it as one of their main subjects of interest upon enrollment.
The Entrepreneurship Initiative (EI) supports student entrepreneurship through the creation and coordination of programs, activities and events designed to achieve the following goals:
- Connect entrepreneurially oriented students, alumni, faculty, and members of the wider Dartmouth community.
- Evolve Tuck's entrepreneurship offering through the collection and incorporation of feedback and key performance indicators into the planning and execution processes.
- Expose students to available resources and current issues facing entrepreneurs.
- Inspire by fostering a culture that welcomes and celebrates entrepreneurship.
- Integrate entrepreneurial resources within Tuck and across campus through collaboration and nurturing of Dartmouth's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
- Support students with services and programs that complement and supplement their academic instruction on entrepreneurship. The EI works towards these objectives in association with the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network (DEN), Tuck's Center for Private Equity and Entrepreneurship, Tuck's student‐run Entrepreneurship Club, and with many local and community partners. The EI also aims to support and increase collaboration between Dartmouth's professional schools (Tuck School of Business, Thayer School of Engineering, Dartmouth Medical School) and the college.
Tuck strives to provide the world's best educational preparation for a career of business leadership. At the EI we believe that providing students with a set of tools to address the challenges facing founders contributes to a student's general business and leadership formation, regardless of their chosen career path after graduation.

She has had no controversial issues in her personal life in 5 years that makes her a saint in fitness
Team Bombshell just got another girl!
Kelly Ryan and Craig Titus were officially divorced by judicial decree in the 8th District Court of Clark County on December 16, 2009, primarily as a move to distance herself from Craig and help her own appearance before the parole board as her first eligible release date fast approaches (December 23, 2011!!). Typically, Kelly will appear before the parole board 45-60 days prior to her eligible release date in order for the board to have time to review the matter and make a decision ahead of the parole eligibility date. The MuscleWeek Community must be heard. Please weigh in with your thoughts and I will forward a letter to the parole board stating our position in advance of Kelly's hearing.
Team Bombshell Sista's, Holla! kirk
the ugly wife will not be sprung
I am sure she will be popular doing webcam sessions
do you think she'll be granted parole her first time up?
She will definitely be able to find work again in the bodybuilding industry as Musclepharm will offer her a contract "to start controversey" Steve Gluteman, despite having no "personal" interest in icky girls will no doubt offer her a contract called Kelly's Corner as if Gluteman likes anything besides shredded glutes on a man he likes ex-cons. She will also make a comeback signing with JM and place in the money slots in order for JM to get paid himself. There is nothing one could do to ever hurt thier reputation in the bodybuilding industry. She won't miss a beat. - Block!
I don't know much about the Nevada State Parole Board and system, but if she's determined to be eligible for release, I think she gets out this Christmas Eve. LBB, did you know the Patsies Craig tried to pin the murder on -- you know, the ones who he told to come over and Craig gave them the bag with the duct tape and taser in it?Tell us something we didn't know about Craig. Did he ever fuck your GF? Try to? Let you bang Kelly?C'mon LBB, give up something on the Murderer.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – El Señor de los Cielos is a new Telemundo telenovela with escándalo, deception, and willful acts. Such also describes the allegations in a new lawsuit brought against Telemundo about the show, LALATE can exclusively report.
El Señor de los Cielos (The Lord of the Skies) is a new tv telenovela led by Rafael Amaya in the title role as "El Señor", Aurelio Casillas. The show is based upon Amado Carrillo Fuentes, a former cartel leader who would fly narcotics into the United States. The show debuted on April 15 to U.S. viewers in Spanish with English subtitles.
El Señor de los Cielos, however, is also the title of a 1998 song by Aristeo Flores. The song was copyrighted and published years before the Telenovela. Herein rests the controversy.
Flores claims that Telemundo "caused to be produced a video trailer … for the Program .." which allegedly included a "full reproduction of the Copyrighted Works" allegedly without his permission. He claims the trailer promoting the new series ran on Telemundo.com, TV, and elsewhere for nine months featuring his entire song. He does not assert that the song has been used in the series, but only in the Trailer. His company is suing for willful copyright infringement. Telemundo has yet to respond to the matter.

UMass Football's Rob Blanchflower Prepared For NFL Draft
May 7, 2014
AMHERST, Mass. - After composing a career as a solid blocker with strong pass catching ability, UMass tight end Rob Blanchflower figures to be a strong pick in the 79th annual NFL Draft which kicks off on Thursday night (May 8, 8 PM). Despite missing the bulk of the 2013 campaign with an injury, Blanchflower's skill and toughness set him apart as scouts evaluated thousands of collegiate players during the past year.
Blanchflower ended his career as the all-time leader in receiving yards for a tight end at UMass with 1,164 passing legend Milt Morin. The native of Leominster, Mass., served as team captain in 2013 and was a member of the Mackey Award Watch List which is presented to the nation's top collegiate tight end.
His career passing yards left him at No. 15 all-time at UMass, while his 109 receptions are the 8th most for a career.
Blanchflower was invited to both the Reese's Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine this past off-season.
If drafted, he will become the third Minuteman in the past four years to be selected. Vladimir Ducasse was UMass' second highest draft pick ever taken in the 2nd round (61st pick overall) by the New York Jets (Milt Morin, 1st rd, 1966 & Greg Landry, 1st rd, 1968 are the highest). Last year, Michael Cox was selected in the 7th round with the 253rd overall pick.
He would also add to UMass' NFL contingent which currently features nine players on active rosters: Jeremy Cain, Michael Cox, Victor Cruz, Vladimir Ducasse, James Ihedigbo, Emil Igwenagu, Jeromy Miles, Josh Samuda, and Julian Talley.
The 2014 NFL Draft begin Thursday, May 8 at 8 PM and will be televised on the NFL Network. Rounds 2-3 will take place beginning at 7 PM on Friday, May 9. Rounds 4-7 will take place beginning at Noon on Saturday, May 10.

Reuters today has an article on Larry, a humanoid simulated vomiting system, which is used to analyze the effect of norovirus environmental contamination. I always like to add a picture to my blog posts, but today you'll be thankful I did not. Anyway, the synthetic vomitus used in the simulator, has a fluorescent marker that enables investigators to examine how widespread is the contamination after an episode of vomiting. Using Larry, they have found that droplets travel over 10 feet. This is important since the infecting dose of norovirus is very small, which makes it highly transmissible. As noted in the article, each droplet of vomitus has enough virus to infect over 100,000 people.
I have always wondered why anti-emetics are not available over-the-counter. If they were, quite a lot of misery could be avoided, ER visits averted, and maybe they would even provide norovirus source control by reducing environmental contamination.
Addendum (1/4/13): NPR has added a video of Larry doing his job. It's quite impressive.
Wherein we ponder vexing issues in infection prevention and control, inside and outside the hospital.

Labels: environmental contamination, norovirus
1 comment:
this is what iv`e always wondered, I just can`t comprehend why it doesn`t occur to people to use ant-emetics, instead of throwing up multiple times, & risking ending up in hospital with deydration. Vomiting doesn`t get the virus out of the system, as most people, including doctors believe, it just spreads the virus around. I buy Motillium, (dompiradone) over the counter, & I carry them whereever I go just in case. there`s a disolvable version for people who can`t keep tabltes down. If everyone used these medications when they had norovirus, there wouldn`t be nearly so many cases.ReplyDelete

|Vandals peaking at tourney time
MOSCOW, Idaho – If the goal is to be playing your best basketball at the end of the season, the Idaho men's basketball team must feel pretty good as it heads to Las Vegas, Nev., for this week's Western Athletic Conference tournament, where the fifth-seeded Vandals will take on fourth-seeded Kansas City at 2:30 p.m. on Mar. 13 in the quarterfinals.
The Vandals have won four of their last five games and peaked offensively during the last month of the season. Stating with its Feb. 15 game at Utah Valley, Idaho is averaging 13 more points, four more assists and shooting nine percent better from the field and 10 percent better from 3-point range that it did in its first 25 games of the season. The Vandals are coming off back-to-back WAC road wins at Chicago State and Kansas City, and enter the tournament with a 14-17 overall record and a 7-9 mark in WAC play.
"What you hope at this point is your guys are locked-in and they have been extremely locked-in the last three or four weeks," Idaho coach Don Verlin said. "Then you've got to rely on your enthusiasm and your leadership to take care of some of those nerves, and that's what I'm going to impress on our seniors this week."
The Vandals will be playing Kansas City for the second game in a row, after beating the 'Roos 87-80 in Kansas City in the regular season finale. Idaho and UMKC split the regular season series as the 'Roos took an 80-74 win in Moscow in both teams' WAC-opener on Jan. 2.
"We just beat them, and that's always a positive," Verlin said. "We just beat them on their home court and there's no reason we shouldn't be ready to go. Both games with them were very close, they're a very explosive scoring team."
While Idaho's offense has been lethal of late, it's the other end of the court Verlin said will be crucial to making a tournament run.
"Defense and rebounding, no question about it," Verlin said of his keys to the tournament. "You can't go to the conference tournament and allow people to shoot 50 percent on you. We've got to get that two-point field goal percentage down to about 40 percent and three-point field goal percentage down under 30 percent. If you're able to do that and finish possessions by rebounding the basketball, you've got a chance to win the tournament."
The Vandals are led by first-team all-WAC senior Stephen Madison, the WAC's leading scorer during the regular season with 19.9 points per game. Madison also leads the team in rebounding with 7.6 boards per game and assists with 2.45 per game. Junior Connor Hill adds 14.8 points per game for the Vandals and has buried 95 3-pointers this season, just four shy of Idaho's single-season program record. The Post Falls, Idaho, native is already Idaho's career 3-pointers made leader, and is just seven points away from becoming the 15th 1,000-point scorer in program history.
While Hill and Madison are Idaho's most prolific scoring threats, Verlin said he needs an all-around effort in order to have a successful tournament. Point guards Mike Scott and Glen Dean are among those Verlin will rely on. Scott led the WAC in assist-to-turnover ratio during conference play at 2.0, and Dean is one of Idaho's best defenders and one of the best free-throw shooters in the league.
"Everybody has to be good at the conference tournament, no question about it," Verlin said. "You never know who is going to step up, you never know who is going to be in foul trouble, you never know what's going to happen. Usually the team that wins the conference tournament has a number of guys play very well night-in and night-out. Obviously for us, Stephen, Connor, Glen and Mike all have to play very well. But what we have to make sure we do as a unit is defend it better. We're not defending well enough and we've got to go into the conference tournament with the mindset that we're going to shut some people down."
The winner of Idaho and Kansas City will advance to the semifinals to face the winner of No. 1 Utah Valley and No. 8 Texas-Pan American at 6 p.m. on Mar. 14. The WAC championship game is Mar. 15 at 7 p.m. on ESPNU.
Two No. 5 seeds have won the WAC tournament, with UNLV (1998) and Hawai`i (2001) accomplishing the feat. In the 30-year history of the tournament, only 12 top seeds have been tournament champions, and only one in the five years the tournament has been played at a neutral site.
Thursday's game will be broadcast on the Vandal Radio Network, and live stats and a live web stream will be available at www.WACSports.com.

NEW ORLEANS — Establishing the best drop-off service can be as easy as mastering some cleaning basics, according to garment-care expert Jane Rising, past director of education for the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute (DLI). Rising conducted the Friday-morning educational session Garment-Care Tool Kit: Stain-Removal Basics at Clean '09.Most stains should come out if you follow some simple steps, such as checking the pockets, properly sorting the clothing, pretreating stains, selecting the right water temperature, and checking for stains before drying, Rising said.Don't underestimate the value of sorting, she added. If you sort by color, soil and fabric type, you can avoid color transfer to lights, poor soil removal and lint going from one item to another.Pretreat heavily soiled items using prewash stain-removal products, liquid detergent, or powdered detergent, or simply soak the clothing. Operators should also practice what they preach and avoid overloading the washer. Overloading results in several problems, such as poor cleaning, wrinkling, excessive wear on garments, and light streaks on dark items, Rising added. Also keep in mind that a high water level means less mechanical action, and a low water level means more mechanical action.Even if you follow the basics steps and are familiar with a variety of specific stains and stain-removal tactics, the drop-off process isn't over when the clothes leave the washer. After washing, Rising advised show attendees to check for stains before drying, and not to mix light with heavy-weight items because:
- They take longer to dry.
- Delicate fabrics get over-dried.
- More wrinkles develop.
- High temperatures can damage synthetic fabrics.

Nota Bene - Vol. 18 Issue 6
Vol. 18 Issue 6 - Nov 1, 2013
This is Berg Territory – Get your Berg Pride on
This is Berg Territory, so get your Berg Pride on and plan to cheer on the Student Princes football, volleyball, men's and women's cross country and men's and women's soccer teams this weekend.
As Heidelberg prepares to take on OAC rival Mount Union at Mayer Field Saturday for one of the biggest football games in many years, you can show your support for 'Berg student-athletes by wearing black on Saturday.
The Office of Student Engagement is organizing Black Out Saturday. Berg Territory T-shirts are on sale for $5 this week in Hoernemann Refectory (11 a.m.-1 p.m.) and the Campus Center. Any remaining T-shirts will be available at the football game on Saturday.
Both Heidelberg and Mount have a lot riding on Saturday's game, heading into the showdown undefeated and in a three-way tie atop the OAC. Heidelberg is ranked ninth in the nation and Mount is No. 1. A great turnout at the game will help energize the Student Princes in a big way.
The football game isn't the only pivotal athletic contest this weekend. Heidelberg's volleyball team concludes its regular season with a home match at 2:30 p.m. Saturday vs. Mount Union. After sweeping John Carroll Tuesday night, the Student Princes remain undefeated in the OAC and have clinched a share of the regular-season title.
With a win on Saturday, Heidelberg's volleyball team claims the OAC title outright and earns the top seed in next week's OAC tournament.
Also on Saturday, the men's and women's cross country teams will compete in the OAC championships in Westerville at 1:30 p.m. and the men's and women's soccer teams will travel to Mount Union. The women's match begins at 3 p.m. and the men will take the field at 7 p.m.
If you can't attend, you can still keep tabs on the various games.
See you at the game – and GO BERG!
Hoernemann Stadium and the Fox Den Alumni Center are coming to campus in September 2014!
We anticipate the start of construction this month. Help us reach our fundraising goal of $4.5 million.
For more information about how you can get involved, visit eidelberg.edu/stadium or contact Jim Minehart at email@example.com or (419) 448-2060.
Lepeley passes national federal court interpreter exam
Spanish professor Dr. Cynthia Lepeley has received word that she recently passed the oral exam required for Federal Court Interpreter Certification. The exam is considered to be the most rigorous test of interpreters in the United States with just a 5 percent passing rate.
"I am really, really happy to have passed it the first time," Cindy said.
She has been working as a legal and medical interpreter since 1995. In addition to oral interpreting, she also does written translations of short legal documents. The process of becoming certified is highly challenging. The first step was to pass certification in Ohio, followed by national certification.
Congratulations, Cindy!
'Berg class collecting clothing for 'Dress for Success'
As you switch out summer clothing for warmer winter attire, here's a great opportunity to donate slightly worn work/business clothing to the non-profit organization Dress for Success. Paul Stark's Honors Service Learning/Civic Engagement class has organized the collection, which began earlier this week and concludes at the football game on Saturday.
In addition to clothing, the class is accepting donations of shoes, purses, unopened cosmetics and other accessory items. Women's clothing is preferred, but men's clothing also is being accepted. The donated items will be taken to the Dress for Success program in Columbus.
Items can be dropped off on the third floor of Campus Center. There also will be a booth at the football game on Saturday.
Senior of the Month:
Lauren Stainbrook
In its ongoing web series, the Office of Marketing and Communication Services features biology major Lauren Stainbrook as the Senior of Month. Lauren is super involved on campus. In the feature, she talks about her Heidelberg experience and her academic mentors. She also shares her personal advice for success for underclassmen.
Honoring the pioneering
Cronise sisters
The legal community came together on Oct. 23 to honor Nettie Cronise Lutes and Florence Cronise, Ohio's first women admitted to the Ohio Bar in the late 1800s.
Since Florence was a Heidelberg alumna (class of 1865) and Nettie attended for a short time, it seemed appropriate that Heidelberg would have a major role in the events of the day, which culminated in the placement of a historical market on Courthouse Square in downtown Tiffin. All agreed the honor was well-deserved and long overdue.
The university was a co-sponsor of the dedication event, along with the Seneca County Bar Association, the Barnes-Deinzer Seneca County Museum Foundation and the Ohio State Bar Association. Local attorneys James Fruth, '92, (top photo) and Victor Perez coordinated the dedication.
Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, the first female to hold that seat, addressed those at the dedication. She was introduced by Trustee Liz Smith, '81. Prior to the dedication, Heidelberg students Becca Dickinson, Katelyn Hough and Leigh Barthel set the stage for the dedication with a historical and entertaining look at the sisters' lives with A Conversation with the Cronise Sisters at the Tiffin-Seneca Public Library.
Earlier in the day, the Women's Leadership Initiative hosted three young alumni attorneys – Carrie Benedict, Rebecca Denton Shope and Jennifer Coletta McHugh – as speakers in its Early Success Series.
Pair of presidents
Juniata College inaugurated Dr. Jim Troha as its 12th president on Oct. 18. Here, Jim prepares to begin his speech after being introduced by his mentor and former 'Berg President Dr. F. Dominic Dottavio, who traveled from Tarleton State University in Texas to be the inaugural speaker. President Rob Huntington served as Heidelberg's delegate during the investiture ceremony. About 30 people with ties to Heidelberg made the trip to Huntingdon, Pa., to help Jim and his family celebrate, including current and former trustees, faculty and staff, Tiffin friends and corporate partners.

Positive impact on teens
A group of Heidelberg students have adopted the Teen Center, helping out young people there as mentors and tutors. In addition to several students who are employed at the center, Excelsior Men's Society members serve as volunteers. Here, education major Miranda Vanover and Exes Tyler Denison and Cameron Journigan share a light moment during pumpkin carving. Additionally, education major Adam Hoover arranged for a day at the Berg, where the young people were in Dr. Pam Faber's lab, having hands-on fun with science.
Time to tailgate: NE Ohio
Alumni Chapter to host Nov. 16
The Northeast Ohio Alumni Chapter is hosting a tailgating event prior to the Student Princes' football game vs. Baldwin Wallace Nov. 16 in Berea.
The get-together will be held beginning at 11:30 a.m. at Mike's Bar and Grill, 130 Front St., in Berea. Traditional tailgating foods will be served, including burgers, hot dogs, brats, potato salad, chips and beverages. Cost is $9 per person.
After the tailgate, alumni can head to the game. Kickoff is 1:30 p.m. For additional info, contact Bob Youngblood at firstname.lastname@example.com or x2033. Or, register online by Wednesday, Nov. 13.
'Berg education majors
stellar at national conference
Six senior education majors traveled to Dallas for the Kappa Delta Pi Biennial Convocation Oct. 23-27. At the conference, five students combined to present a workshop and the sixth presented her senior honors research. While many of their peers were more seasoned, the Heidelberg group stood tall, and their professor, Dr. Julie Green, couldn't be more proud of them.
"They did so great," Julie said. "I was a little nervous for them, but they made me really proud. They got glowing reviews."
Early childhood education majors Ryan Sarchet, Victoria Miller, Mackenzie Pinkelman, Kirsten Bumb and Julia Kagy presented a workshop titled Assistive Technology for Students with Disabilities in General Education Classrooms. Taylor Rambo's presentation was titled You Mean I Have to TALK to Parents? Strategies for Parent Involvement.
Julie said the preparation process was long but worthwhile. "We spent a lot of late nights practicing," she said. "They worked really hard and improved their presentation skills a lot."
As for the overall experience, the students agreed with Julie about the benefits of meeting new people, sharing new experiences, gaining new perspectives and seeing new places. Mackenzie said she enjoyed learning about research and activities she can apply in her own teaching. "It was nice to get a different perspective from other students and professors," she said.
A lifetime of giving
Wayne and Joan Moore, friends of the late Sherman and Virginia White, accept congratulations and a gift from President Rob Huntington at the inaugural 1850 Society dinner on Oct. 25. Heidelberg established The 1850 Society to recognize donors who have contributed $1 million or more in cash, real property or life income gifts to Heidelberg. The Whites are among an inaugural class that also includes seven trustees and a number of alumni, friends and foundations.
Service over break
Left-right: Lauren Costantino, Lauren Belliveau, Stephanie Romie, Dr. Bryan Smith and Sean Bergman. Not pictured: Lily White.
During Fall Break, five students and chemistry professor Dr. Bryan Smith traveled to Columbus to perform community service. The students fulfilled their service in a variety of venues, including cookie-making at a Ronald McDonald House and helping prepare flower beds for winter at the Franklin Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. They also directed traffic and runners at the Nationwide-Children's Hospital Marathon and served dinner to the homeless later that day at the Broad Street United Methodist Church. There was also time to explore the city, with stops at historic German Village and Schiller Park. The trip ended with a tour of The Ohio State University's School of Medicine, which provided an insightful look at the academic world of medicine.
Campus memorial service
planned for Nov. 7
On Thursday, Nov. 7 at noon in Herbster Chapel, a memorial service will be held to honor former faculty and staff who died between Oct. 1, 2012 and Oct. 15, 2013. This year at the annual service, Heidelberg will honor faculty members Leanne Wolff and Eve Bock, admission counselor Lew Hubbard, custodian Larry Shanabrook and secretaries Jean Hertzer and Kathryn Bowers.
The campus community is invited to this service, which will be conducted by Paul Stark.
Choir to kick off season
with concert in Findlay
The Concert Choir and the Chamber Singers will kick off their performance season with a concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10, at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, 750 Bright Road, Findlay.
Under the direction of Dr. Greg Ramsdell, the 51-member choir will present a concert themed British Invasion that will include repertoire reflecting on America's fascination with many aspects of British culture.
"The theme is a deliberate reference to that time in the mid-'60s when America seemed to be completely enthralled with all things British," Greg said. "It seems that we are once again in the midst of just such a cultural fascination."
"In our own unique way, we too will be paying homage in our concert program because all of our music has some sort of connection to our friends across the pond."
Several selections feature solos or accompaniment by students from the choir. Featured soloists include Collin Stump, Kristina Kamm, Stephen Smith and Melissa Flowers.
The concert is free and open to the public. A freewill offering will be taken in order to offset the choir's travel expenses.
'Berg piano students
to join for recital
Eleven of Dr. Margarita Denenburg's piano students will come together for a special performance at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, in Brenneman. Titled Piano Celebration, the recital will feature each of the students performing in a concert designed as a fund-raiser to support off-campus activities such as attendance at concerts, competitions and master classes.
Students who will perform during the recital are: Cy Boehler, Colleen Crayton, Kelly Devine, Allie Dresser, Maria Gerber, Lynn Leatherman, Holly Oberlin, Nick Saxton, Jacob Smith, Stephen Smith and Landon Wiseman.
While there is no admission charge, donations will be accepted at the door.
November packed with
varied musical performances
If you can't make the Concert Choir opener or the piano celebration, there are a multitude of opportunities this month to take in a concert or recital from the School of Music.
Highlighting the performance schedule in November is the Montague Distinguished Artist program, this year featuring pianist Zsolt Bognar in concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23.

The scoop on e-cigarettes
What are electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes?
Electronic cigarettes look and feel like cigarettes, but do not burn tobacco. The several existing brands vary but, in general, e-cigarettes contain a battery and an electronic device that produces a warm vapor or "mist."
The vapor usually contains nicotine. The vapor is inhaled and, as the user exhales, some visible vapor is released, but no tobacco smoke. Some e-cigarettes also contain a light-emitting diode in the tip that glows when the user puffs, to resemble the burning end of a cigarette. The nicotine content of the cartridge varies; the cartridges can be refilled, and refill bottles are provided with the device.
Who uses e-cigarettes?
E-cigarettes have the potential to be at least as effective as currently approved nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products, none of which deliver nicotine to the lung. In addition, the similarities in shape, actions and inhalation between e-cigarettes and tobacco cigarettes could also help smokers quit.
However, as there are no data to support the manufacturers' claims that e-cigarettes help smokers quit, the World Health Organization asked the companies not to make any therapeutic claims. If they claimed that e-cigarettes help smokers quit, manufacturers would be subject to the legislation and regulation that applies to NRT products. In order to avoid this, some e-cigarettes are now marketed for enjoyment, or as devices that enable smokers to "smoke" everywhere, including smoke-free places. Nonetheless, some distributors present their products as an alternative to tobacco smoking, more or less implicitly suggesting that e-cigarettes can be used to aid smoking cessation.

Dr. Courtney DeMayo (history) organized the fall meeting of the Ohio Medieval Colloquium, which Heidelberg on campus hosted on Oct. 26. About a dozen medievalists and early modernists presented research on a variety of topics, including Courtney's Education Reconsidered: Learning in Northern France, ca. 1000 and The Private Writ Public: Isabella Whitney's Verse Epistles to Her Family by Dr. Emily Isaacson (English). Scholars attended from Columbus State Community College, Ohio Northern University, Elmira College, The Ohio State University, Stark State College and the University of Toledo.
Dr. Michele Castleman, Dr. Kristen Williams and Annie Almekinder (School of Education) presented Game on!: Online Games Teachers Should Know About during the Oct. 17 conference of the Ohio Confederation of Teacher Educator Organizations in Columbus.

text: BENTON HARBOR, Mich. — Maytag and Whirlpool Commercial Laundry have opened a new 28,000-square-foot facility in St. Joseph, Mich., featuring a state-of-the-art commercial laundry testing lab."Concise and accurate testing is an important step in ensuring the performance and reliability of products," says Craig Kirchner, director of global commercial laundry at Whirlpool Corp. "With this new, interactive lab, we can provide in-depth development, as well as reliability testing, for both single- and multi-load commercial laundry equipment."The new 3,250-square-foot lab features 35 test stations and is capable of testing both single- and multi-load products to the power requirements of most countries around the world, Whirlpool says. Twenty of the test stations are automatic, computer-monitored lifespan test stations, and the other 15 are manual and developmental test stations.The regimen of tests at the lab will include lifespan testing, energy testing, development testing, early warning analysis and some aspects of product approval. The lab facility can easily accommodate large, multi-load equipment with its high bay ceilings and 1,200-pound-capacity floor scale for multi-load energy testing. The lab also has the ability to test both gas and electric dryers, and it has domestic hot and cold water supplies with soft-water capability.Having the lab and all other Maytag and Whirlpool Commercial Laundry department offices under one roof is a significant advantage, Kirchner adds. "Our new commercial laundry facility puts the lab under the same roof as our engineering, sales, marketing and service departments, resulting in better communication and faster decisions."

REVIEW: Rapture by J.R. Ward
Rapture by J.R.Ward
(The Fallen Angels #4)
Piatkus Books (Sept 2012)
Paperback, 502 pages
Paranormal Romance
Warning: contains spoilers
I have really enjoyed J.R. Wards The Fallen Angel series so far, and whilst it doesn't rate as highly on my must read shelves as the Brothers, lovers of J.R.Ward really should pick them up. Rapture brings us a little further along Jim Herons quest to save souls in the fight between good and evil.
We find ourselves back in Caldwell, with a naked Matthias curled up on Jim Herons Grave. As those of you that follow the series know, we have known Matthias (more commonly known by Jim as Matthias "the Fucker") since the very beginning of the series, where we were introduced to him as Jim's earthly boss at XOps. Since then Matthias has died, made the wrong decision as a chosen soul and been incarcerated in Hell with the not so lovely Devina. But due to Devinas cheating in a previous round, the Man upstairs has decided to punish her with a do-over, and so releases Matthias back to the mortal realm.
As his brain starts to try and figure out the whys and wherefores, Matthias starts making his way out of the cemetery, only to be hit by a car whilst crossing the road.
Enter Melissa (Mels) Carmichael, reporter for the Caldwell Courier Journal, and her now written off, beloved car Fifi. Mels is the daughter of an old school Police Officer who passed a few years ago. Her father has a big impact on how she deals with what life throws at her, and as such she is a confident and ballsy young woman, who thinks nothing of telling Matthias exactly how it's going to be!
She paused with a Frenchfry halfway to her mouth "No offence. But considering your physical condition, I could break both your legs and have you unconscious in a New York Minute." As his eyebrows shot sky-high, she nodded. "I am a black belt, licensed to carry a concealed hand gun, and I never go anywhere without a good knife or my heat.
After being flattened, Matthias wakes to find himself once again confused and disorientated, and now he has no memory to add to his problems! He can only remember his name, but his XOps training is ground in so deep that he starts to run on instinct alone, and has a distinct NEED to get out of the hospital and away from the stunningly beautiful yet disturbing nurse who has helped revive his manhood from its usual inactive state. Mels has been in for a visit and left her business card, and being the only link he has to anyone living, this is where Matthias heads off to, to try and find the missing pieces in his memory.
Together they try and solve the mystery that is Matthias, which leads them to the hero of the series, Jim Heron, who is dumbfounded to see his back from the dead ex-boss getting out of a taxi on his driveway. But then who is Jim to judge about being back from the dead? As an angel, fighting to save the world from damnation, Jim is awaiting his next lost soul, in order to help make them the "right choice", and thus proving to the Man Upstairs that human beings really are worth saving.
As his memory slowly comes back, and Matthias learns more and more about the man he was, he tries to reconcile this with the man he is becoming as he starts afresh, slowly falling in love with the sassy and strong willed Mels.
We continue to get snippets from the other characters within the series, although not so much with the Archangels this time around. They seem to be pretty quiet at the moment, with only the odd visit from Nigel every now and again, which was a bit sad as I rather like visiting up there, especially when it gets explosive between the boys! Adrian (Ad) is still suffering from the loss of his buddy, and whilst Jim misses Eddie too, you can really see how much it is tearing Ad up being apart from him. That being said, I find it a little unnerving that they are carting Eddies body about still! I am always hoping for a resurrection but if he gets up and walks out of the hole in the wall they have stuck him in I think I would freak! Jim is still being hounded by Sissys memory, and makes some rather dubious choices because of this, especially at the end of the story, which are going to have some interesting repercussions in the next instalment of the series.
The chemistry between Matthias and Mels is lovely, despite them having plenty to deal with along the way. It's great how they compliment each other and neither is there just to prop up the other, they are both equally as important within the storyline and I find it a touch of writing brilliance that Ms Ward has managed to turn Matthias the Fucker into someone we can find any sort of sympathy for.
Ooo one little extra bit…. we find out what the deal with Dog is!!! All I can say is….well there ya go!!
Rapture is another interesting instalment in The Fallen Angel series. There are now not just the black and the white sides, as we are starting to see more grey coming into the mix. That being said, we don't find out that much more. By this I mean that normally in a series, the storyline reveals more secrets the further along you go, but in Rapture, we don't seem to move too much further along with regards to the big picture. So as much as I enjoyed the book, due to its somewhat slower pace, and lack of plot development, I give it a 3.5.

Currently, the Christian Church is plugging along in the 40 days known as Lent. This marks the dark period between Mardi Gras and Easter celebrations. Officially, this is mean to be a time of reflection and sacrifice. It should be seen as a call for every Christian to thank Jesus in a unique way.
Take Away? What about giving more?
So, deciding to "do" something for Lent has been accomplished. Instead of giving up something, why not give more? While stopping your trips to Krispie Kreme on Hwy 100, or skipping out on Baskin Robbins in 'Tosa are adequate ideas for the Lenten season, why not try something different? While sacrificing sweets is a nice thought perhaps it is more prudent to give something more of yourself: like your time, or your money… both are wonderful options to explore this season.
Alternative Sacrifices
A great way to celebrate Lent is to do something to give back. One option is to volunteer your time. A couple of helpful suggestions follow. One place that can always use more willing souls is St. Benedict's in Milwaukee, especially there soup kitchen (please check out the following link: http://www.stbensmilwaukee.org/). Another great way to help out the battered and abused women of Milwaukee is by checking out the Sojourner Truth House (please check out the following link: http://www.sojournertruthhouse.org/). If neithe of these are your cup of tea, there is always your local YMCA, they are always looking for mentors (please, check out the following link: http://www.ymcamke.org/YMCA/home.php).
If these still do not seem like the right way to give back you can do things in the community. For example, shoveling someone's driveway, who is not able to do so themselves. Another very touching Lenten promise is to get to know someone in the neighborhood whom is lonely. Perhaps this person is elderly, and stuck inside most of the time. Take over a deck of cards, or a homemade pie. Creating memories for someone who does not have those type of experiences often will stay with them for a long time.
Pocket Change
With today's economy as it is everyone is visibly tightening their belts. While this is understandable it is essential to remember that people still need help. One way to give back to the community is to collect pocket change over the Lenten season, and donate it to one of the aforementioned charities, or another close to the heart. This is especially important in the current economic climate.

I have a LaCie external hard drive that I'm using on both Windows 7 and on Mac OS X. I've noticed that when I create files on the drive while it's plugged into my Mac, when I bring it back into Windows those files have some type of hidden files associated with them.
They typically start with a period and an underscore, then have the same exact file name, such as
._filename.ext and are faded out gray so the OS doesn't recognize them.
What are these files for? Are they necessary to keep? Are they taking up extra space on my hard drive? Can I just delete them from the drive while I'm on Windows?

What to expect during constructionWSF is working hard to minimize impacts to customers and the Vashon Island community. Customers and neighbors should expect:
Will there be changes to the ferry schedule?The following operational changes are in effect for Southworth-bound oversized vehicles traveling from Fauntleroy and Vashon:
How will WSF manage traffic during construction? Southworth-bound vehicles will be staged on 103rd Ave SW and Fauntleroy-bound vehicle staging will remain on Vashon Highway SW. 103rd Ave SW will become a one way street northbound toward the Vashon terminal. The right lane will be used for staging Southworth-bound vehicle and the left lane will provide circulation from the Park & Ride lot, access to the terminal for Metro Transit, and medical priorities.During construction, the ferry dock will not be visible from Vashon Highway SW. In response to input from the community, we've posted signposts along the road indicating how many vehicles are in the queue. This way, customers will have a better idea of their place in line even if they can't see how many vehicles are ahead of them. Ferries on this route hold between 87 and 124 vehicles. Knowing your place in line is a good indicator of whether or not you will make the next ferry.
How will ADA passengers access the terminal during construction? The parking spaces at the terminal will be temporarily unavailable during construction. Terminal staff will work to accommodate passenger drop-off and pick-up as needed. How did WSF work with the public ahead of construction?WSF worked closely with a stakeholder steering committee to coordinate impacts to the project schedule and ferry operations during construction. We also hosted two public meetings in March 2015 to share information and gather input from the Southworth and Vashon communities. View the public meeting Slideshow presentation (pdf 1.7MB), Southworth meeting handouts (pdf 2.8MB), Vashon meeting handouts (pdf 2.8MB),
Why is WSDOT
replacing these structures?
The Vashon ferry terminal provides a critical link between Vashon Island, the Seattle mainland and the communities west of Puget Sound. The existing Vashon ferry dock was constructed in 1957 and is vulnerable to earthquakes. The project will bring the entire dock up to current seismic code and allow access to and from the island in the event of an earthquake.
The End Result
This project will retrofit the existing ferry dock by placing seismic braces at 10 critical locations along the dock and replacing about 200 feet of timber trestle with concrete supported by steel piling. In the event of an earthquake, the main transportation corridor for Vashon Island residents will be better protected.
Project Benefits
What is the project timeline?
Financial Information
The total project cost is $15 million. Funding is provided through a mix of federal grants and state funding.
How can I get more information?

Of course, the capacity of this Gusset Tote ($78) is what immediately drew us to it. There's rarely a day when we don't end up overstuffing our purses as we gather
a few snacks from the breakroom important documents. However, that unexpected pop of color that shows when the purse is expanded is what really sold us. Even when we manage to pare down what we're carrying, we know we'll leave this tote unzipped for a little flash of orange. Too cute!

Yesterday Box announced that General Electric's (NYSE:GE) 300,000 employees will start using the service, most by the end of the year.
It's the biggest deal yet for Box, which said that it took two years of discussions before GE made its decision to go with Box.
We wondered what took so long, given that Box should be a fairly straightforward service, at least compared to complex enterprise software systems like ERP, CRM, or BI.
Don't miss: Box IPO delay could mark a pendulum swing toward systems of record.
"Box is a much simpler product than say SAP or a big complex platform like CRM," said Whitney Bouck, general manager for enterprise at Box. "But what we've discovered over the course of the last few years or so is that the selling cycle is not that different, even though the product or services are simpler."
At large company like GE, the number of people involved in a decision to adopt a corporatewide technology doesn't change whether the business is choosing a CRM system or Box, she said.
"Big companies can only move so fast," she said.
For instance, when working with a large company like GE, Box works with central IT as well as many business units to help the company figure out if Box is a good option for the many different use cases across the company, she said.
Still, now that GE has chosen Box, it will take the rest of this year to roll it out to most employees. "It really has to do with changing behavior and content migration," she said. Since GE's business is so varied, each division will have to work out their own use case. "It's much more about training than it is about technology," she said.
In addition, she said that GE was very interested in being able to integrate Box with other enterprise systems that it uses, although she couldn't name specific examples. That process takes some time too.
GE did not reply to a request for comment about the process leading up to its decision to choose Box.
In what Bouck said is an unusual scenario, Box's professional services team has been involved with GE since long before the deal closed. "It's a presale engagement," she said. Box has been helping GE think through use cases and content management, she said.
Bouck also said that GE is one of the most security conscious customers that Box has ever worked with. "They wanted to investigate ways to have even more control over the content they put in Box," she said.
One capability that GE is particularly interested in is being able to control its own encryption keys. Box has been talking about working on this capability since last year. The company wouldn't say when it would become available.
More advice from The Motley Fool
Let's face it, every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big. Like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom. Or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play" and then watch as it grows in EXPLOSIVE lockstep with its industry. Our expert team of equity analysts has identified one stock that's poised to produce rocket-ship returns with the next $14.4 TRILLION industry.

I beat the drum a lot about public wine tastings. They are the best way for wine lovers to educate their palates. Period. There's just no substitute for tasting a lot of wines in a single "sitting" to learn what the differences are, and more importantly, what you like.
One of the other nice things about public tastings, put on as they are by big organizations, or in this case, publications, is that they often allow you to taste wines that you might not get a chance to taste otherwise for some reason -- whether that is because of their cost, their small production levels, or the fact that it's simply a pain in the rear to go track them down.
Of course one of the other reasons you might not get a chance to taste certain wines is because they've been so highly-rated by some magazine or critic that they're pretty hard to find on the shelves of even the best wine shops in the country. Which is one of the many reasons I urge people to attend the Wine & Spirits Top 100 Tasting every year. While inclusion in Wine & Spirits doesn't quite make the available inventory of a wine vaporize, as a top score in some other magazines will do, the wines that are chosen for their list of "Top 100 of the year" are really some of the best wines in the world, and are not all that easy to track down for the casual wine lover.
I go to this tasting every year because of the high quality of the wines, and the excellent food that is usually on offer. This is, of course, the reason that so many other people go too (it can get a little crowded at times). But despite the popularity of the event, it is still one of the best public tasting events in San Francisco each year, and usually has a few gob-smacking, head-banging, utterly fantastic wines mixed in with a whole lot of truly excellent ones.
Like all such fancy tastings these days seem to do, some of the proceeds from the event will benefit Baykeeper, an environmental non-profit focused on the health of the San Francisco bay ecosystem.
This year, the magazine is adding an additional feature: highlighting its New & Notable restaurants in the Bay Area, which include Baker & Banker, Barbacco, Comstock Saloon, Herloom Café, Hog & Rocks, Locanda da Eva, Nombe and Saison. Each restaurant will serve bites of a signature dish paired with wines featured at the tasting. Guests will also enjoy specialties from local artisanal purveyors, including Hog Island Oysters, Nicasio Valley Cheese, Zoe's Meats, Socola Chocolate and Barefoot Coffee.
So grab a wine loving friend, or look your best and try to make a new one at the tasting, but definitely don't miss the Top 100.

Get Ready for #Facebook #Hashtags
All your friends are going to be #engaged and #pregnant soon.
Facebook has apparently decided that it is not enough like Twitter, so it is "working on incorporating the hashtag, one of Twitter Inc.'s most iconic markers, into its service," according to The Wall Street Journal. Having hashtags will allow Facebook to build topics around specific conversations and sell ads against those topics. It will also allow your high-school friends to collect all their thoughts about #pregnancy and #weddings and #obamamuslimtakeover in one place.

Blum: Bare-Knuckle Brawl
Brent Blum
As the illustrious soothsayer Phil Collins once said, "Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Hold on." Ok, so Mr. Collins probably didn't have the 2012 Farmageddon game on the mind when throwing that bad boy together back in the early '80's, but it seems to fit.
In our contemporary culture everything is the biggest or best thing, EVER. The only thing shorter than our collective attention span's is our memory. Just log on to Twitter sometime and the declarative statements are unavoidable.
It is with that preface that I can reasonably assert that Saturday's game against Kansas State is the most hype-worthy event at Jack Trice Stadium in the last 35 years.
The 25th ranked Cyclones host the 5th ranked Wildcats in front of a crowd that could potentially near a record 60,000, with countless others surely sneaking a peek at the video board from outside the stadium.
In the 120 years of college football played at Iowa State, you can count the number of times two ranked teams have met in Ames on one hand:
November 4, 1972: #14 Iowa State vs. #7 Oklahoma. Sooners won 20-6.
November 11, 1972: #17 Iowa State vs. #3 Nebraska. Game finished in a 23-23 tie. (Glad ties can't happen anymore, walking out of that tie game would have been like going to KFC and only ordering coleslaw.)
October 7, 1978: #15 Iowa State vs. #10 Nebraska. Huskers rolled 23-0.
September 28, 2002: #19 Iowa State vs. #20 Nebraska. In an electric Jack Trice, Iowa State blitzed the Huskers 36-14. As Pete Taylor eloquently stated as the final buzzer sounded, "This may not be the Nebraska of old, but it certainly is the Cyclones of new."
K-State's trek to Ames on Saturday marks just the fifth time two ranked teams have met. That says a lot for the state of the Iowa State program in past years and highlights the opportunity in front of this 2012 group of Cyclones. Win games like this and pen another chapter in the surge of Cyclone football.
For as long as I can remember, Iowa State has searched for a conference rival. Yes, they've always had a meaningful match-up in September with Iowa, but those contests have recently felt like a really big appetizer. For the last three decades, Nebraska had been the easiest squad in the conference to pick a fight with, but ultimately that series was very one-sided. The Huskers never saw Iowa State as a legitimate threat. Yes, the Cyclones got some shots in along the way, but the Huskers had bigger battles on the mind. And Nebraska took their ball and whimpered away to the Big 10 just when things were getting interesting with the Cyclones.
K-State probably sees themselves as a level above Iowa State at the moment, which is fair. They have more of a recent history and they are the squad currently in the top five. Knocking them off their perch and destroying their Championship aspirations is a good way to amplify a rivalry.
K-State is a model for how teams with a perceived disadvantage in talent can compete in this juggernaut of a conference. They dismember you like an assembly line: by taking out your will with efficiency and relentlessness. The Wildcats have turned the ball over three times in five games. They have allowed a mere two sacks and have been penalized a mind-bogglingly low nine times.
Somehow the Wildcats are averaging 44 points per game, despite being 119th out of 120 teams in college football in number of plays run per game. I'm beginning to wonder if 73 year old K-State Head Coach Bill Snyder has some secret formula he has unearthed. Snyder said recently, "I have different eating habits. My doctor doesn't like it. I've just grown into some habits, and I eat one meal at day, and it's really late at night." Even the man's diet is bizarrely efficient.
In a league full of prima-donnas and gimmicks, the Wildcats are most comfortable slugging it out in the back-room of a dive bar. Are you man enough to stop it?
Under Paul Rhoads, Iowa State has aspired to have the same workmanlike characteristics. As the old adage says, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." The Cyclones have proven to be a formidable, tough-minded squad. They are 4-1 and have played the nation's 3rd toughest schedule up to this point.
They brought their lunch pail to work and got after the Horned Frogs in Fort Worth, winning the turnover battle for the first time since the Oklahoma State a year ago. To beat Kansas State, it is going to take that type of effort and a little extra. The Cyclones are going to attempt to beat K-State at their own game; it is impossible to sneak attack a team that prefers a street fight. The trenches will not be a place for the meek on Saturday. If Iowa State wants to make a statement, it all starts with the big uglies.
Two weeks ago, the Texas Tech game was circled as the game to clear the vaunted "next hurdle" as a football program. It didn't go as planned. As fate would have it, the Cyclones have earned a bigger opportunity this weekend. It is difficult to describe, but talk with anyone around the Cyclone program and they all sense the same thing, something is different about this team. Even with a misstep against the Red Raiders, the momentum carried on. Last week's victory was a step up the hill of consistent relevance. This week they can leap further. Iowa State had never defeated a top five team until last year's stunner against Oklahoma State. The Cyclones have a very real chance to make it two top five wins in two years on Saturday, and this time nobody will be caught off guard if they pull it off.
It won't be easy, K-State comes into Ames with all intentions of dashing Iowa State's ambitions with a machine like irreverence. They are the definition of execution over emotion. It sets up for a memorable October afternoon in Ames. It may not be a rivalry yet, but it's going to a spectacle. 60,000 plus will be there on the premises to see the havoc unfold.
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Hold on, here comes Farmageddon 2012.
