Nikon D300 and error message
I have had a D300 for about five years or so. This year, I noticed I would get an ERR message flashing on the top screen. This only seemed to happen when I was shooting in long bursts at 7fps. I sen the camera back to Nikon. They sent the camera back and charged me $300.00. There was very little explanation other than the whole computer was replaced. It is now doing the same thing again. Nikon wants to "troubleshoot" over the phone before letting me send it back. Any ideas? Has anyone had this problem?

Joe, How long are the long bursts? The reason I ask is because Nikon limits the length of the bursts to 100 in cameras like the D300 because of the potential for overheating (the internals.) I am not sure though why you are having this problem since the camera is just back from Nikon. Have you tried a total reset?
Turn the camera off and remove the battery.
Turn the camera back on. Wait for twenty seconds and then turn the camera off. Or leave the camera on until the clock battery is fully discharged - possibly a long wait...
Replace the battery and turn the camera on. This should return the camera to its original factory settings.
Good luck.

The "ERR" message could be the result of many malfunctions in the camera. For example on a F100 I would get ERR because the self check on the shutter indicated the shutter time was out of spec. It had nothing to do with the electronics but was telling me the shutter needed service or replacement. Releasing the shutter or cycling power would clear the error for a while. I'm sure there are several such self checks made in current DSLRs.
I surprised that Nikon replaced the computer. It seems to me that it is more likely the computer is working correctly and telling you that some other part is not working properly. If you can do long bursts at 7fps, the the computer is working fine up to the point you get "ERR". Computers are unlikely to have failures that behave like that.
Does an additional shutter release or power off/on cycle clear the problem for a while?

Thanks for the advice. The problem is so intermittent. I can't pin it down to one situation. I know that I have never held down the release for anywhere near 100 pictures. I will check the lens connection. However, it has done it with two different lenses. I am going to try it again today. I will report back. Thanks.

I own a D300s. When I bought my 50mm lens there were times that I got this ERR message. I did not send my camera to Nikon but detached my lens and not used it for a good while until I needed it again and remembered I have that lens. Silly me of course but after several tries I found out that my problem was the fitting in of the lens. It made me felt like a fool but sometimes the simplest of non-obvious things happen. Maybe it is old age on my part, maybe on your part, not really, so try to detach and attached your lens ... carefully ... and see if the error will disappear. I thought this stupid stuff will not happen to me, but apparently I was wrong. It did. Just a suggestion...

Yes, I've had the ERR experience with my D300 and it was the contacts on the back of the lens becoming dirty. I used a soft cloth to wipe the contacts and also "gently" using an eraser to buff the contacts keeping the back of the lens down and ensuring no bits of eraser gets into the lens. If you used the same lens before AND after sending the camera in to Nikon it may be the lens contacts causing the problem.
I hope this helps.
#6. "RE: Nikon D300 and error message" | In response to Reply # 5Fri 12-Apr-13 05:24 PM
Thanks guys. This makes sense. I will try to be more careful with putting on the lenses and cleaning the connections. I wish Nikon had suggested this before charging me three hundred dollars. I will let you know after this weekend.

Burned once by Buckeyes' Miller, UW defense prepares to get even
Madison - Good luck finding even one member of the Wisconsin football program - coach or player - hesitant to rave about Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller.
"We think he is one of the most powerful offensive players in college football," co-defensive coordinator Charlie Partridge said. "But we're excited for the challenge. It will take a lot of discipline."
UW defenders will need to remain disciplined within the scheme, avoid mental errors, get multiple players around Miller and, frankly, get a few breaks to slow the multitalented sophomore when the teams meet at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
"He is really good," said UW linebackers coach Andy Buh, who worked every day in practice against Colin Kaepernick when the two were at Nevada. "If you mess up and you don't get lined up properly against him, it is a touchdown."
UW (7-3, 4-2 Big Ten) learned that lesson in a 33-29 loss to the Buckeyes last season.
Miller finished with 188 total yards - 99 rushing and 89 passing - and was responsible for three of the Buckeyes' four touchdowns.
He used his shiftiness to elude defensive end Brendan Kelly on a 1-yard run in the third quarter and then burned UW twice in the fourth quarter.
First, Miller took advantage of a defensive adjustment by UW by attacking the opposite side of the formation, to the short side of the field, for a 44-yard touchdown run to give the Buckeyes a 26-14 lead.
Then after UW rallied to take the lead, Miller capped his night by escaping the pocket to his right when Kelly and tackle Patrick Butrym ran a stunt and hitting wide receiver Devin Smith for a 40-yard touchdown with 20 seconds remaining.
"Braxton is a phenomenal athlete," said Kelly, who chased Miller from behind after Miller moved outside Butrym. "I had to try to chase him down and tried diving and swiping at him.
"I've got to be prepared to do everything I can to get him down this year."
That won't be easy because Miller, who has already helped the No. 6 Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0) clinch a share of the Leaders Division, is better this season in the spread offense of head coach Urban Meyer and offensive coordinator Tom Herman.
Miller played in 12 of 13 games as a freshman last season but didn't become the starter until Week 4. He finished with 1,874 total yards (1,159 passing and 715 rushing) and 20 touchdowns.
Through 10 games this season, Miller has 2,919 yards (1,753 passing and 1,166 rushing) and 27 touchdowns and the Buckeyes lead the Big Ten in scoring at 39.9 points per game.
He has improved his rushing average to 6.3 yards per carry from 4.5 as a freshman and has bumped his completion rate to 56.9% from 54.1%.
"Their coaching staff does a phenomenal job with him," Kelly said. "They put the defense in a stressful situation and they don't really give away tendencies.
"And he is a phenomenal athlete. You watch one game and you know he can run and pass.
"It is fun to play a guy like that because you know it is real. He lets you know where you're at as a defense. It sets the benchmark for where you stand."
Miller, who has rushed for at least 134 yards in six of 10 games and has passed for at least 200 yards in four games, is rapidly climbing the Ohio State charts.
He has accounted for 47 touchdowns (27 passing, 20 rushing) in 22 games, the No. 7 mark in school history. With 27 touchdowns this season (14 passing, 13 rushing), he needs five to break the school record of 31 in a season.
He leads the Big Ten and is 22nd nationally in total yards per game (291.9). That is on pace to break the school mark of 270.6, set in 1998 by quarterback Joe Germaine.
In four seasons at Nevada, Kaepernick recorded 14,210 total yards (10,098 passing and 4,112 rushing) and 141 touchdowns (82 passing and 59 rushing). He became the first player in the Bowl Championship Subdivision to pass for more than 10,000 yards and rush for more than 4,000 yards.
Miller likely won't match those numbers, but he places as much stress on Big Ten defense as Kaepernick did on those in the Western Athletic Conference.
"The quarterback being able to run the ball has changed our game," Buh said. "Defenses these days limiting teams to under 21 points a game is stellar. It is stellar.
"Compared to maybe five or six years ago. You see it. When you see people averaging 40 points a game there is something going on out there.
"We are trying to catch up to all the different things teams are doing and all the space we're having to cover."

Well to any consumer this reflects "hey we have your card and we will make the payment so you do not need to use this new card" or if your card were to fail because you had to replace it there auto generated email only says that the payment has failed and that you need to login and update the card to make a payment.
Now understanding that pop up warnings would be a little more involved but a auto generated email could easily inform you of the necessary time frames when adding a card and that before you add a new card and apply it to your auto pay you must first make a payment that is due then add the new card to auto pay. Pretty simple but apparently left out to avoid having to payout there bogus new customer spiffs. This is wrong and I as a customer am getting punished because of Comcast failures as a company to fix very simple issues because to them it would mean having to payout to new customers.

So, to save some quality time, we could have the last page open up directly after clicking on the link. In that case we don't have to click another time to reach the last page.

Enables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by an outwardly-rectifying voltage-gated channel. An outwardly rectifying current-voltage relation is one where at any given driving force the outward flow of K+ ions exceeds the inward flow for the opposite driving force.
Stops, prevents, or reduces the activity of a potassium channel.
Enables the transport of a potassium ion across a membrane via a narrow pore channel that is open even in an unstimulated or 'resting' state.
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cardiac ventricle over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A cardiac ventricle receives blood from a cardiac atrium and pumps it out of the heart.
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus indicating lowered oxygen tension. Hypoxia, defined as a decline in O2 levels below normoxic levels of 20.8 - 20.95%, results in metabolic adaptation at both the cellular and organismal level.
The progression of the cochlea over time from its formation to the mature structure. The cochlea is the snail-shaped portion of the inner ear that is responsible for the detection of sound.
A series of molecular signals that proceeds with an activated receptor promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, or for basal GPCR signaling the pathway begins with the receptor activating its G protein in the absence of an agonist, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane (PMID:24568158 and PMID:16902576).
The activities involved in the mental information processing system that receives (registers), modifies, stores, and retrieves informational stimuli. The main stages involved in the formation and retrieval of memory are encoding (processing of received information by acquisition), storage (building a permanent record of received information as a result of consolidation) and retrieval (calling back the stored information and use it in a suitable way to execute a given task).
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cardiac muscle cell proliferation.
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of DNA biosynthetic process.
Any process that increases the rate or frequency of cell death. Cell death is the specific activation or halting of processes within a cell so that its vital functions markedly cease, rather than simply deteriorating gradually over time, which culminates in cell death.
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cellular response to hypoxia.
A process in which a potassium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other.
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an axon injury stimulus.
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a mechanical stimulus.
The accomplishment of a non-fluctuating membrane potential, the electric potential existing across any membrane arising from charges in the membrane itself and from the charges present in the media on either side of the membrane.

So I tuned into the View today for a quick moment and learned that when you turn 35, your chances of getting pregnant each month is only 5 to 7%. Now, I don't know what they are for the younger years, but this sounds pretty scary. Ugh, I'm going to be 33 in 3 weeks and wanted to start trying for our second child in 2012...you know, when I'd turn 35. Blah.
Sorry, just needed to share.

Heights Of Hidden Desires.
Every night, I lie awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking of you. The way you embraced me, our hugs that lasted minutes in each other's arms. The way you would call at night till the wee hours of the morning and we would never get tired. We only said goodnight because we had to, and your morning text was what I would use to kick start my day. Your jokes had me randomly smilling in the middle of the day. It was beautiful,I was happy, but I had to let go, at least I thought I did. Every sleepless night that passes by, I regret pushing you away even more. I feel guilty for the way I treated you. I kept you a secret, I ignored you in public, I wouldn't pick your calls during the day and always hid the love notes you sent me during class. I pretended like we didn't exist. What kills me even more is the fact that I made you feel like you had to go through all that, you really didn't deserve any of it.
Don't judge me though. I only did that because I felt like no one would ever accept us. You were too young for me. I only stayed because there was no way I could resist your kisses, or the warmth that came with your embrace. The way you made me feel like I could do anything, like I was unstoppable, you were everything I wanted, just not what everyone would have accepted. I imagined myself introducing you to my strict parents,I saw the shock on their faces, that later turned into anger and finally, disappointment. An abomination perhaps, it's not right in our culture for a woman to be with a younger man, it's just not acceptable. It's the thought of such occurences that convinced me we would never be truly together. The stigma that came with a relationship such as ours, how people's critical eyes and derogatory opinions would tear us apart, if we truly wanted to be happy we had to live a lie, we had to be a secret. I should've listened to you, you know. None of that matters, love is love. Now, I'm missing out on the best thing that ever happened to me, and "the society" is not suffering,I am. I won't lie, I tried to move on. I thought you were a passing phase, so I gave dating another try. I thought it would be easier now because I'm looking for someone more "age appropriate", but they were all a disappointment. From wanting to get into my pants, to still dreaming of one day marrying a Beyoncè look alike, they were all superficial and simply frustrating. The other day, when I was out with my guy friends, I watched them talk,getting immersed in their endless chatter, listening but not really chipping in. They talked about football, cars and in between smoking weed, they didn't fail to mention their distaste for virgins, how they wanted lightskinned girlfriends and how their recent one night stand sexcapades made their lives worth living, and it was in that exact moment that I had an epiphany. I was in love with you, in fact, I had always been. In my frustration, I thought of the way you never judged me, I was too scared before, because it was the first time in my life that someone ever really accepted me for who I am, wholeheartedly. How many times in your life do you come across someone who can put up with your bullshit and still treat you like a goddess at the end of the day? Please try to understand, I've never been in love before, and those who have been before me, told me it sucks and I should keep it that way for as long as I could. Now, time has passed, six months later, I still haven't moved on. I recall the way my mother almost found out our secret when she saw you sneak out through the back door, as she was coming from work and asked "Who was that young boy?" Given, she was clueless, but never have I ever been so petrified in my entire life. How could she not see the guilt in my face? I must've done my best to hide it. I lied, of course. I said you were my younger brother's friend, and because he was not home, you were just leaving. That's when it struck me, I could never face them, I could never tell them the truth. I had to end what we had.
Our last randezvous happened on a Friday, at two in the morning. While you were waiting for me outside your car, my heart was breaking because I knew I bore bad news and you wouldn't take it lightly. We had been hiding for six months, and as much as it felt like walking on eggshells, I had the most incredible time of my life. I saw pain write itself all over your face as I told you I was done. You said we needed more time,I thought we were just wasting it. I would never tell a soul about us, and staying a secret would never be enough for you. When you finally accepted it, you gave me one of your embraces that always lasted longer than it should. I could feel it, you didn't want to let go, neither did I, we wanted that moment to last forever,but... I let go. I said goodbye then walked away.
I waited for the empty feeling in my chest to go away, I hoped another guy would be the reason I would stay awake every night, but, no, it was you just you. I began resenting my parents, and everyone, it was their fault that we couldn't be, it was the thought of their judgments that made me so timid, yet they had nothing to do with us, where were they when we were falling in love? Then I realized it wasn't their fault,it never was, it was mine. If I wanted to be with you, I would be with you. I wouldn't let anyone tell me otherwise, I would remain true to what I felt and just forget the world, and choose to be happy. I just realized I can't live like this anymore, I want you back for good.
The question now, is whether you have moved on, I still don't know, but I have learnt that keeping all these feelings inside is killing me softly each passing day, so I'm coming to tell you the truth, every word of it. I won't ask you to take me back, that's up to you, I'll simply let you know how much you mean to me. Time apart has taught me well, and if I wasn't brave then, I am now. If, by any chance, you want us to pick up from where we left off, I won't keep you in the dark anymore. The world can criticize us for all I care. I'll let you know how I'll gladly hold your hand as people stare, how I'll pick your calls as my parents sneer and how I'll smile at your goofy love notes when everyone around me shakes their head. No more meeting in the dark-I'll kiss you in broad daylight instead, I will openly be yours. It just won't matter anymore, as long as I'm with you. With that, my conscience will be clear, and I will let you think about it, and make your choice. If yes, then my life will never be the same again, in a good way. If your answer is no, I'll understand and respect your decision- I guess I'll just have to live off the epic memories we made when we were together, and oh so madly in love.

Portugal forward Nelson Oliveira joins Norwich City from Benfica
Norwich City have completed the signing of Portugal forward Nelson Oliveira from Benfica for an undisclosed fee.
Oliveira, who has signed a four-year contract, came through the youth ranks at Benfica but has spent the bulk of his career out on loan.
The 25-year-old had an encouraging spell in the Championship last season with Nottingham Forest, scoring nine goals in 28 games before suffering a groin injury that ruled him out of Euro 2016, and has also spent time with Swansea, Rennes and Deportivo...

Aside from the obvious quality and design, the thing that stood out most to me about the Tactix BDUs was their fit. The boots were surprisingly light and comfortable.
In a market dominated by true "heavy boots" the new Oakley Assault Boots were a crossbreed of boot and athletic shoe, meaning they were as durable as any good combat boot but comfortable right out of the box. Not satisfied with well-enough, Oakley recently redesigned the original Assault and shaved off a ton of weight in the process.
Available in black, desert tan, and coyote, Oakley's new Light Assault Boots are a great option for anyone looking for an incredibly light and comfortable tactical duty boot.
The Delta Nitros are extremely comfortable, flexible, and supportive without the need for insoles or breaking in, something few boots can claim. They do this and still maintain the feel of a real boot.

The History Minor provides an excellent way for students in other majors to explore their interest in history while developing the research, writing, and critical thinking skills sought by employers and graduate schools.
The minor is eighteen (18) credits, thus requiring only a total of six courses. For many students, six of those eighteen credits may be completed as part of the university's general education requirements. This means that for most students, they can complete the History minor by taking one 200-level and three 300-level History classes.
The Shippensburg University Philosophy minor provides a great way to learn about the history of Western Philosophy, to explore ethical issues, and to develop high-level critical thinking and logic skills.
The Philosophy Minor is an eighteen (18) credit program:
To declare the minor, you only need to complete the Minor Declaration form (click here) and bring it to the History/Philosophy Department Office at 122-124 Dauphin Humanities Center.
If you have any questions about the History or Philosophy minor, feel free to contact the History/Philosophy Department at email@example.com.
On Monday, April 11, 2016, from 2-2:30 pm in the DHC Fishbowl, the History/Philosophy Department and the Shippensburg University Women in History Network will be hosting a Russian Tea with Dr. Betty Dessants, Shippensburg University Professor of History. Dr. Dessants will be discussing how she became interested in history, her challenges, observations, and career as a professional historian. Come join us for tea and great conversation with Dr. Dessants!
The History Alumni Mentoring Network & the History/Philosophy Department are proud to welcome back to campus Mr. Chris
Pavone,a recent graduate of the department who is now teaching social studies at Waynesboro Area Senior High School. He will be sharing about his experiences at Ship in the history education program, and his journey from the campus to the high school classroom. The talk will be Monday, April 11 at 7:30 pm in Dauphin Humanities Center 205.

It occurs to me that straight men can sometimes be a little dense (no offense) and don't have the natural-born ability of gaydar, so maybe they haven't figured things out yet. Maybe they think all those pictures of muscle-y men is because this is some sort of bodybuilding site. Therefore, to my straight readers, I need to tell you something:
Wha- Wha- What?!?!? Your gasps of incredulity are ringing in my ears. How I can hear them all the way over here is a mystery, but they're drowning out the normal voices in my head so stop with the gasping already!
Don't be alarmed. There is no need to panic. Contrary to popular belief, homosexuality is not contagious. You're not going to become gay yourself just because you pulled up my web page on your computer. Sure, you might catch some other skanky disease from me, but you're not going to come down with a bad case of "gay."
I know that many of you are unfamiliar with and frightened by homosexuals, therefore I will give you a little background on our species.
I am what is known as a North American Gay Male (Homosexual Americanus). The North American Gay Male (NAGM) is just one of the species in the genus called Homosexuals (homosapien fabulous). The NAGM is found all throughout the United States and Canada and mixed in with almost every segment of the population with the rare exception of Evangelicals (Homosapien hypocritus). Closely related is the Gay Latino (Regina latino) which originates in Mexico, Puerto Rico, California, Arizona, and Miami.
NAGMs are often indistinguishable from the general population at birth. While young the NAGM faces many threats to its survival, most notably dodgeball. In fact, if dodgeball were any more fatal, the NAGM species would today be extinct. As the NAGM emerges from adolescence, its tell-tale differences begin to show. Designer labels begin to mark his pelt, and the NAGM becomes obsessed with grooming himself. Upon reaching adulthood, the NAGM displays a great affection towards alcohol-based drinks, particularly anything ending in "-tini."
Studies of the NAGM uncover a migratory pattern from small towns to larger cities in early adulthood. It is thought that the NAGM believes he increases his chances of survival and finding a mate when it joins a larger pack. Large nest areas of NAGMs are referred to as "the gayborhood" or "the gay ghetto."
The mating process of a NAGM is quite complicated indeed. In his young adulthood, the NAGM is exceedingly popular and mates a multitude of times. These mating encounters are often very brief, seldom lasting more than a single night before the NAGM moves on to a new partner. The hook-ups conclude with the futile exercise of one NAGM giving a series of digits to the other NAGM. The second makes a promise to call, but he won't.
As a NAGM grows older, it becomes more and more difficult for him to mate. He will employ the use of alcohol and money as lure. The mating periods are longer but can result in bitter fights between the NAGMs when it's over. NAGMs are known to quarrel rather ferociously over the only copy of the Dreamgirls soundtrack and possession of the dog.
Unbeknownst to most people, the NAGM does not age the same as their straight counterparts. The chart below explains the relative equivaliency between and NAGM's age and that of the straight male (homosapien slobbius):
|NAGM age:
|"barely legal"
| 19
| 20
| 21
| 22
| 23
| 24
| 25
| 30
| 35
| 40
|Over 40
|Equivalent age:
| 21
| 21
| 21
| 23
| 25
| 27
| 30
| 40
| 55
| 70
NAGMs at this age
are rarely seen in
public other than
Minneapolis Airport
bathroom stalls
There are many sub-species within the NAGM species. Some of the more popular ones include the Leather Daddy (Patrius corium), the Bear (Ursus capillatus), the Drama Queen (Regina tragoedia), the Twink (Homosexual adulescentia), the Drag Queen (Regina ornatus), and the Gym Bunny (Cuniculus gymnasticus). Most NAGMs are not pure-breeds however, but rather a combination of many different breeds, i.e. a mutt.
Some of the innate abilities of NAGMs include color-coordinating, accessorizing, ruining Thanksgiving dinner with the family, and being able to recite dialog verbatim from old TV shows and movies like "Mommie Dearest." When provoked, the NAGM defends himself with a sharp attack of sarcasm and can reduce a grown man to tears in eight words or less. NAGMs are often found in the company of a fruit fly (Faggius haggius) with whom they share their darkest secrets but never their bed much to the fruit fly's eternal chagrin.
Well, I hope this gives you a better understanding of the North American Gay Male. Please don't fear us because of our fabulosity, but rather I hope you come to appreciate what strange and fascinating creatures each of us is.

Now, after more than 20 years in the game, EPMD returns with We Mean Business, their first album on their own EP Records and their seventh overall. The new collection is a testament to their Business plan.
"All of our albums have Business in the title," Smith explains. "Now that we're in a new era and the game is changed, we realize that it's different from when we handed in a CD to our first label to being at Def Jam. Erick and I created our own vehicle to be able to drop this album. That's how we came with the title We Mean Business, because we do."
EPMD updates its classic sound and sentiment on "Listen Up," a funk-drenched song complete with a talk box and featuring the one and only Mr. Teddy Riley. Recognizing EPMD's status as pioneers, Sermon acknowledges how important his lyrics are: "Can't talk ignorant/I got some intelligent folks that's digging it."
Those same folks will be digging We Mean Business song "Roc Da Spot," a throwback of sorts to "You Gots To Chill," one of 1988's most acclaimed rap singles. "The beat had that EPMD sound, as far as the claps," Sermon says. "It had a familiarity to it because of the sound and, 20 years later, we've still got that funk coming."
"It's very important for us to stay us," Smith adds. "People want to hear and see EPMD." That's because We Mean Business isn't just an album title for EPMD. It's a mindstate.

Searching for a new HIPAA compliant text messaging services is wise for anyone managing a medical or insurance office. There are many private records that must pass through your system every day, and you are not in compliance with HIPAA if you have not purchased a messaging system. You cannot assume that your private email account is enough, and the host for your website cannot provide a HIPAA compliant system for you. You must ensure that you have chosen the proper service, and these articles explain how you will find such a system.
#1: The Service Must Be Its Own Software
You must choose a service that offers software you may download on any computer in your office. You may give everyone in the office their own login, and you may download the system on all the computers that need it. You cannot use the system unless it is on every computer, and you will have much better results when you have chosen a universal system that works for everyone.
#2: The Software Must Be Affordable
The software that you choose must be affordable for your business. You know how much you can afford to spend, and you may avoid any systems that you believe cost too much money. You cannot expect to get this system for free, but you may not spend a lot of money. The right system gives you a nice combination of options and price, but you need to read through every software package to learn what it does. Anything that does not meet with your standards must be removed from your list for consideration.
#3: The Capacity
Every system will tell you what its capacity is, and you must choose the system that can handle the number of messages you send every day. You know how large the files you send are, and you must select a system that will allow you send everything you need in one message. Splitting up your messages is a waste of your time, and your
colleagues may not understand what you are sending. This is especially troubling when you are sending file images.
The HIPAA compliant messaging system you choose must be designed to help you send secure messages over secure servers. Anyone who is invested in one of these systems will find that they can send messages safely, and you will have the price and capacity you need for every message.

Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

Since our founding more than half a century ago, we have built upon that visionary legacy to become a living laboratory of sustainable solutions that benefit our campus, our city and region, our state and the globe. From what we study to how we work, the principles of sustainability influence what we do and how we do it.
