Welcome to my Battlefield 3 site.

Battlefield 3 (commonly abbreviated BF3) is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts. It is a direct sequel to 2005's Battlefield 2, and the twelfth installment in the Battlefield franchise. The game was released in North America on 25 October 2011 and in Europe on 28 October 2011 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. EA Mobile also confirmed a port for the iOS platform. The game sold 5 million copies in its first week of releaseand received critical acclaim from most game reviewers. It is the first game in the series that does not support versions of Windows prior to Windows Vista as the game only supports DirectX 10 and 11. The PC version is exclusive to EA's Origin platform,through which PC users also authenticate when connecting to the game. In campaign mode, players take on the personas of several military roles; a Force Recon Marine, an F/A-18 weapons system officer, an M1A2 Abrams tank operator, and a GRU Spetsnaz operative. The campaign takes place at various locations, from Iran to New York, and follows the story of Sergeant Henry Blackburn and later, Dimitri Mayakovsky.

 Campaign

The game's campaign takes place in the year 2014. The missions are flashbacks that are part of the interrogation of Staff Sergeant Blackburn and do not occur in order of events. Chronologically, the initial sections of the campaign are set near the Iraq-Iran border, where the US Marine Corps are fighting the People's Liberation and Resistance (PLR). The game later moves into northern Iran, continuing the fight against the PLR. There is a mission set in the streets of Paris, and another set in the sewers and subways of New York.

Once you have made backups and moved all the important data you need to save from the old Windows and you want to remove the older OS partition completely, it's not all that complicated a process. Let's get started! Step One Mark Windows 7 as Active In the snip below of Windows 7's disk management you can see that XP, on the first partition on the HDD is marked as "System, Active" if that partition is just removed as it is it will cause Windows 7 to not be able to boot-up at all, as the "System, Active" partition is where all the boot files for the dual boot are stored; a new set of boot files for Windows 7 has to be created to the W_7 partition before the XP partition can be removed.
click any image to enlarge You will need to mark the Windows 7 partition as "Active" so that the repair procedure will know where you want the new system volume, (the partition the boot files that are needed to start Windows are stored on), then you will need to run 3 separate startup repairs with a system restart between each repair so that Windows will create the new boot files to the new "Active" Windows 7 partition. View these tutorials below that explain the process in greater detail and if assistance is needed post a question in this same tutorial and we will assist you. How to Run a Startup Repair in Windows 7 Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times Be advised: Once Windows 7 is "System, Active" and the repairs have been run and Windows 7 is booting good on its own, Windows XP will no longer boot-up so make sure you have everything you need from that partition before you do this step. If you should find yourself needing to retrieve something from the XP partition after the repairs have been done, the "Move To" option in this tutorial can be used to great effect to move personal data from XP to Windows 7 in Windows Explorer. Step Two Wipe the XP Partition In the BIOS set the boot order to boot first from the Optical Disk Drive (ODD), insert the Partition Wizard Bootable Disk (PWBD) and re-start the PC. It'll take a minute or two for it to setup with no input from the user needed. Once the program has started you can remove the disk from the ODD. This will show how to do a partition specific wipe, also known as a "secure erase" to the Windows XP partition, this step will over-write every sector on the partition with zeroes, effectively 'removing' all the old XP code, along with the XP drivers and any other data on the partition making the best possible 'clean' space to recover into the Windows 7 partition. Once this procedure has been done any data left on the partition will be gone and not even the best data recovery programs will be able to retrieve it. 1) In the Partition Wizard program, right click the XP partition (the first partition) and click "Wipe Partition", in the dialog box that opens select the type of wipe you want to run and click OK. 2) In the left pane at the "Operations Pending" column click Apply then Yes to the 'conformation' dialog box. 3) You will get a progress graph, when it is finished click OK for the 'successful' dialog box. Depending on the size partition you do the wipe to it could take a considerable amount of time, to wipe this 98+GB partition it took just over 30 minutes, just relax and let it finish. 4) It would be a good idea to boot into Windows 7 to let it recognize the changes to the partition structure and make sure all is well before you go on to the next step. Remove the PWBD from the ODD and at the upper left corner at "General" click "Exit" to close the Partition Wizard program and start Windows 7. Step Three Recover the Space Put the PWBD back into the ODD and restart the PC. There are 2 steps to do here but they can both be done in one operation so read through this section first to get an idea before you get started. 1) Right click the space from the old XP partition and click delete, you will see an entry added to the "Operations Pending" column but don't click apply yet. 2) Now right click the Windows 7 partition and click "Move/Resize", in the dialog box that opens click and hold to drag the left slider so that there is no "Unallocated Space" before or after the Windows 7 partition and click OK. 3) Now in the left pane "Operations Pending" column click Apply and then Yes to the 'conformation' dialog box. 4) You will get a progress graph, when it finishes click OK for the 'successful' box. That's it, you're finished with the Partition Wizard program, remove the PWBD from the ODD and at the upper left corner at "General" click "Exit" to close the PW program and start Windows. Enjoy!

"I always get nervous ordering things online, so I ordered a sample first. It looked great, so I went for the big order. My photos look amazing and the quality was even better than I expected, for both the template and my photos. Much better experience than I had expected."
"This is my 2nd time ordering from Tiny Prints and the first year that I have ever ordered my Christmas cards early...2 months early. The item was shipped very quickly and it was just as I imagined it to be. I ordered the Pearlescent paper and the card looks very chic. The paper quality is not too thick and not too thin...just right. I was hoping that the glitter would actually "sparkle" more but it was just a "flat" look. The only thing that I don't like is when Tiny Prints put the design name of the card and the Tiny Prints logo on the back....I think that looks tacky and takes away from the beauty of the card. I haven't sent it out yet since it's still early November but I can't wait to receive feedback from my friends and family."
"I ordered these cards to send to family for Xmas. I didn't even choose different colors or choices, as I loved the design already. I was worried about my photos ruining the look of the card, but the quality of them on the card is amazing. I have never had such good quality in a Xmas card before. I absolutely love them. They are vibrant and very stylish. Love that the back has a pattern on it, too. Makes them stand out that much more! Very, very happy customer!!!"
"We opted for the curvy design.The first batch that arrived, the names were cut off. But customer service was great and issued a brand new, corrected order. Love the product! Very classy!"
"We used two photos of our four grandchildren. One was taken from the back as they were jumping. We did that in black and white. The other photo, which we put on the back of the card, was a front view and that was in color."

Explosive information growth is not new news for organizations anymore – it is becoming the norm. The incredible strain this growth puts on infrastructures designed to manage and protect it has been a growing concern for years, though much more accelerated in recent times as virtualization and eDiscovery requirements have pushed this strain to a whole new level.
Symantec is the leader in backup and recovery. As the leader, we focus on addressing the biggest of challenges IT managers face with infrastructures spanning both physical and virtual worlds.
With shrinking IT budgets and growing digital assets, the focus for organizations is naturally on cutting costs without compromising service level agreements. Dealing with multiple point products tends to increase cost and create complexity. Customers of all sizes – from small businesses...
More than ever, archiving is a vital part of how a company manages its information, both to save money on storage and prepare for eDiscovery or other investigations. In the past, most businesses have focused archiving efforts on archiving on-premise data sources, especially email. Organizations today need to archive a large variety of data sources, including email, documents and communications that may reside in the cloud (such as social media content). Organizations are looking for vendors who cannot only archive from the cloud but who offer a choice of deploying the archive itself on-premise, in the cloud or as a hybrid of the two. As such, archiving continues to increase in its importance and is an indispensable tool for information governance as the organization's information extends beyond the firewall.
Each year Gartner evaluates...
In today's business world, information is as valuable as cash. In fact, industrial espionage costs U.S. businesses more than $250 billion each year. This has organizations scrambling to shore up their defenses against all manner of outside attacks. At the same time, companies of all sizes may be neglecting one of the most important perpetrators of intellectual property (IP) theft: their employees.
In order to assess this often underrated threat, Symantec asked forensic psychologists Eric D. Shaw and Harley V. Stock to examine various factors leading to insider IP theft. While most research is put into the development of technology-based security measures, their white paper focuses on the behavioral and environmental issues that can lead to theft of corporate data.
Who Is the Typical IP Thief, and What Are They Stealing?...
Last year Gartner said that through 2012, "60 percent of virtualized servers will be less secure than the physical servers they replace." Furthermore, they said that many virtualization initiatives are undertaken without involvement from the information security teams. And just recently, a CSO Flash Poll survey commissioned by Symantec revealed that while 70% of respondents reported that security and compliance concerns have not slowed the pace of virtualization adoption at their organization, 75% indicated that security and compliance are the largest factors in keeping them from full confidence when it comes to hosting business-critical applications on virtualized servers.
So let's recap: virtualization continues at a rapid pace – even though these implementations are less secure, often without security teams not involved....
Clouds don't come in a box.
They don't come pre-installed in a piece of hardware. You don't just plug it in and – voila – you've got cloud! More importantly, you should not have to buy new, expensive hardware to get the benefits of cloud computing. This is one area the consumerization wave won't be as easily emulated for IT – yet. Specifically, we are used to swapping out our old game station for the latest model. We even do this with our smart phones or tablets. But in the data center, businesses and IT can't just 'throw away' their existing hardware to get the cloud. It's not good business sense.
At the core of this huge transition to the cloud – both public and private – are the business advantages. Scalability. Agility....
"The son of Stuxnet."
That is what the news is calling Duqu [dyü-kyü], which Symantec released information about last week.
It would make a great movie, if the ramifications weren't so serious. Going beyond Stuxent and Duqu, we see the increased opportunity for threats from the cyber world to impact our physical one – moving from espionage to sabotage. These types of attacks are very focused, whether on specific pieces of equipment called controllers, in the case of Stuxnet, or on critical information from suppliers to industrial facilities, like Duqu.
The ability to compromise industrial facilities or the devices within, present...

The following is an excerpt of an interview which was conducted by the CIO Digest's Patrick Spencer with Deepak Mohan, Senior Vice President of the Information Management Group. In the interview, Deepak talks about the pillars of information management, cloud computing, and the drivers of the evolution of information management.
PATRICK: So what are the four pillars of information management?

Have you ever ridden the tube in England? I am always taken with the simple yet effective warning "Mind The Gap" that you see when you step off the tube, which is their subway system, to avoid any potential missteps or injuries.
With that in mind, I'm offering a slight twist on that brilliant phrase when it comes to virtualization – Mind the App. No, I am not talking about the apps you download to your magical devices. I am talking about protecting the status and availability of applications in your virtualized environments.
Why? As I briefly discussed in my last entry, the drivers of virtualization have changed, and application visibility is a critical component for virtualizing business critical applications.
The drivers of virtualization have changed. That is what VMware's Chief Development Officer and co-President, Richard McAniff, said in February, 2011. And in the months since, we're finding out how true that statement was. According to McAniff, the new drivers are resiliency, high availability, backup, disaster recovery, and of course, security.
Why are they important? These new drivers are important because businesses are moving from virtualizing test, print, web, and other non-critical servers and applications to business line applications and servers – for example – your CRM, HR system, accounts payable system, and transaction-based...
We should be more concerned about a cyber attack.
That was the message from Cofer Black, former head of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, at this year's Black Hat Security Conference. In fact, his opening words were quite ominous. He said the last time he stood in a room presenting to a large audience with his face being projected on four big screens was in August of 2001. At that time, he warned the audience that there would be a major terrorist attack on U.S. soil where thousands may die. A little over a month later, the attacks on 9/11 took place. His latest prediction at the Black Hat Conference, is that there would be a major cyber attack on the United States which will have...

Bride Blog >
Brides, read this story and then make sure the gift table at your wedding is in a secure location. Apparently, swiping still-wrapped wedding gifts and cash envelopes intended for the newlyweds is a lucrative business for many shameless criminals.
Read more >>
Are you looking forward to the "first dance" at your wedding reception? Some brides love the limelight and can't wait to waltz with their new husband in front of guests while others might fear it as much as being an introvert on "Dancing with the Stars." Even if you are in the second camp, don't avoid this opportunity to create a sweet and tender moment that you two can share forever. Friends and family are just thrilled to see the new couple celebrating; they could care less about your moves!
Aren't friends and family wonderful?! When the wedding day of an engaged lady approaches, so many people reach out to see if they can throw a bridal shower in her honor. From friends of your parents, to college friends and co-workers, many brides have several opportunities for these types of parties. Typically, guests gather in the home of the host (although it can be in another venue) to "shower" the bride with gifts that she can use in her new married life. The thoughtful person or group who is offering up a location, inviting guests, preparing food, floral arrangements, planning party games and more deserves a special thank-you from the bride at the end of the event.
In this day with $4 a gallon gas and rising food and retail costs, brides are feeling the pinch in their wedding budgets. There is nothing wrong with trying to save a buck on your wedding; in fact, it is a responsible way to start off your life as newlyweds. No one want so go into a new marriage thousands and thousands of dollars in debt – that's what you can expect since the average wedding costs about $25,000, more or less depending on exactly where you live.
Don't elope! Even if you're not the kind of girl to have the traditional 1 year engagement, you can still enjoy a "real" wedding with as little as one month of planning. It just takes a commitment to staying calm while tackling a to-do list, no problem! Follow these steps and you'll be well on your way to walking down the aisle in four weeks or bust!
How many different ways can you don a pashmina? Let us count the ways. This clever video shoes 25 different ways to tie the popular scarf in just 4.5 minutes; it's so inspiring, you'll be running to your accessory drawer at warp speed to try out the tips. Check out the 'Bunny Ears,' "Infinity,' and 'Double Rainbow' scarf ties, we love these!
Ready, set, go! Decorating the "getaway" car is a popular wedding tradition where friends and family (often the bridesmaids) race about to secretly turn the newlywed's ride into a gaudy, rolling billboard announcing the newest nuptials in town. A creative yet classy car makeover will have the bride and groom smiling, just don't do anything that could ruin the integrity of the car or can't be cleaned up quickly. Also, to keep the fun from coming to a screeching halt, precautions should be taking to maintain the safety of the drivers. Here are some tips to steer you in the right direction:
Getting married is scary; it's a huge life change for the single girl. But, surprisingly, the biggest fears of the bride are not really all that major, especially when you consider the worst case scenarios. For example, what if the groom was a 'no-show,' a tornado blew through, or you had a death in the family just hours before walking down the aisle. Yeah, these situations can be really bad, but those types of events are very rare. Instead most brides worry about fairly trivial stuff, mainly centered around how they look and feel. Here are some of the top worries for the bride:
As fodder for gossip magazines, celebrities are always being followed by the paparazzi for that secret snapshot that reveals who is dating, breaking up or getting married. Not many celebrity couples last long after the wedding; we all know of Elizabeth Taylor's eight marriages to seven men and Brittany Spear's infamous and impulsive 55-hour legal union. Just making it to the 10 year mark in Hollywood is like an eternity, but below are a handful of couples that have made love last much longer. Always a sucker for old-fashioned virtues, we at WeddingStand.com would like to point out that before they passed away, Kirk Douglas and Paul Newman were both married 50+ years to their respective wives.
If you are looking for a refreshing summer drink to serve at your wedding, wine smoothies are all the rage and a unique alternative to the common margarita or daiquiri. Forgo the traditional open bar and serve these sweet, satisfying frozen concoctions, you guests will be clamoring for the recipes and toasting to your fine tastes. In addition to just tasting great, this novel idea for your reception offers two additional benefits – it reduces your overall bar bill (as fewer bottles of wine are consumed) and each drink packs less of an alcoholic punch as wine has a lower alcohol content than hard liquors. Weaker drinks are a good thing because they reduce the chances of guests over indulging and then driving home. Below are a few wedding-worthy wine smoothie recipes for you to try along with suggested stemware for serving. Each batch whips up in a blender or electric ice cream maker; for large gatherings, you can substitute a rented margarita machine for the same results. Any of these recipes would also be delightful at a bridal shower, bachelorette party or bridesmaid luncheon – consider giving a pretty set of personalized wine glasses or barware to each friend as a thoughtful and fitting choice in bridesmaid gifts.
You've been planning for months, maybe even years, for your wedding day events to be perfect down every last detail – from the dress to the vows and the bridesmaid gifts to the reception menu. It is one of the most, if not "the most" important day of a girl's life, no bride wants her fairytale dreams to be riddled with bloopers, mishaps and full-blown disasters. The summer season is always ripe for a faux-pas or two at your festivity, especially because of the warm weather. Read on to find out how you can avoid many of these slip-ups at your summer soiree:
Since spring has sprung, the flowers are blooming everywhere – in gardens, on trees and in bridal bouquets! In fact, I think spring flowers are nature's gift for the bride. While the bride, groom and love are the most important things for a wedding ceremony, flowers are a beautiful way to celebrate it all. However, flowers can be quite expensive and brides often as how much of the wedding budget should be allocated to floral arrangements.
In the words of the girls from the chick-flick "Bridesmaids," "You are more beautiful than Cinderella! You smell like pine needles, and have a face like sunshine!" There's nothing quite like having your best-friends-forever around to reinforce the fact that you're fabulous minutes before you walk down the aisle. Of course, where there is a beautiful girl, there is also a cosmetic case tucked away in some part of her purse – you can't remain gorgeous from sun-up to sun-down without a few touch-ups here and there. Make sure you and your bridesmaids are looking are looking more stunning than ever by keeping a pouch full of must-haves nearby. A small cosmetic case filled with wedding-day essentials makes a great pick in bridesmaids gifts. While most of hair and make-up will be done beforehand, maybe even by a professional, means you don't need to pack the entire Sephora store in the toiletry bag. However, a few well-chosen items for "refreshing" can be discretely carried from the chapel to the reception in a cute little cosmetic pouch. Plus, these bridesmaid gifts can often be personalized with a name or monogram. Here's what to stash inside:
Most of us wouldn't drive a car without insurance or even check into a hospital without being covered by some sort of health plan. While fixing a car or your body are both expensive endeavors, so is throwing a wedding. In 2012, the cost of the average wedding tops a whopping $27,000 – and that doesn't even count the honeymoon! The risk of being out thousands and thousands of dollars is making engaged couples take a serious look at acquiring an insurance policy to protect the outcome of their Big Day. Consider getting wedding insurance as a peace-of-mind-present for yourself, a gift for the bride who has all the bases covered.
In America, the bride has many traditions to follow, we learn them all as little girls --something old, something new, something borrowed something blue. Wearing a white dress, tossing a bouquet and giving bridesmaid gifts to wedding attendants are some of the more well-known rituals. However, across the world and through the centuries, wedding traditions are as unique and varied as the patchwork of cultures on the planet. Here are a few that are sure to get any brides attention:
If you're getting married and love candles, you're going to want to hug this unusual idea we've stumbled upon – a time capsule candle. No, it's not at all like a unity candle, although the unity candle does have a special place during the ceremony to signify the blending of two individuals into one union. Meant for after the ceremony (years after), the time capsule candle is a gift for the bride and groom that is actually assembled by guests on the Big Day and then enjoyed in the future– this keepsake candle can even can be used as bridesmaid gifts depending on the way it is put together.
It's the 'bride's day,' let her have what she wants. I'm sure you've received this sort of advice from plenty of people who support the 'it's-all-about-me' mentality. However, there's a new trend on the uptake with brides who appreciate the bigger picture – and, that is incorporating a charitable cause into your wedding events. Yes, you can use your bridal powers for good, following we've found several ways to incorporate philanthropic endeavors into your party.
Crafty bride alert! The second week in March is 'National Crochet Week,' seven full days to honor all things knotty and nice that can be made via the homespun art of crochet. If you think crochet is just a pastime for grandmotherly types who churn out ponchos and toilet paper cozies like crazy, you haven't taken a good look at the hobby lately. Just like the art of knitting, crocheting has become all the rage with the creative, hip crafty-types who enjoy making funky toys, scarves, iPhone holders and literally anything else you can imagine – including wedding dresses!
The weather is warming up and that means one thing, time for flip-flops! Every girl loves these casual sandals that are both comfy to wear and inexpensive enough to own in every color. Once relegated to the beach and locker room, the flip-flop has stepped it up to become a major fashion statement among ladies of all ages.
Brides-to-be can live out fairy tale dreams and get in touch with their inner child by snapping up the Kate Middleton Barbie Doll and Prince William Ken Doll. Planned for release in April 2012, around the one year anniversary of the couple, toymaker Mattel hopes to honor the royal Wills and his bride.
It's hard to say 'no' when tempted with a delicious treat, how many times have you shown up pre-dawn to work out with a girlfriend because you knew the two of you would brunch afterward? Or volunteered to take your niece or nephew trick-or-treating for the hope of scoring a fun-sized candy bar or two? Food and friends and family, it all just works so well together!
Wedding vow renewing celebrities are nothing new, especially these days on television by reality couples who love the ratings-boosting attention. So, it's no surprise that "'The Real Housewives of New Jersey"' star Teresa Giudice made a must-see-TV stunt out of re-tying the knot with husband, Joe for an upcoming episode of the show.
We've got photographic proof that there are some pretty ugly bridesmaid dresses out there in the world of weddings, please do no humiliate, embarrass or find sadistic pleasure in gussying up your best friends in a gawd-awful gown. Are they or are they not your best friends? Well, they won't be for long if you make them suffer though your big day wearing yards and yards of taffeta, outdated styles, bad fits, poor quality or any other number of offending factors. In addition, unless you are giving the outfits as bridal party gifts it adds insult to injury to make them fork out the big bucks for an ugly dress.
Bachelorette parties, bridal slumber parties, spa days and other pre-wedding girl gatherings are always more festive with a little something-something to drink – and a beverage preferred by many a bride-to-be is the Cosmo (or Cosmopolitan) cocktail. While elevated to the height of popularity by Carrie and her clique in the television series Sex in the City, the Cosmo actually has a history well beyond the show. Many bartenders have claimed the fame of creating this drink made with vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice and fresh lime juice, but it is actually quite similar to a Cape Codder, Kamikaze, or Sea Breeze. Even with fuzzy details on the actual inventor, it is widely accepted that the drink started showing up here and there in the 1970s and then was brought to a larger scale audience in San Francisco during 1987.
Everything about Kim Kardashian is big, not just her booty. Recently the mega reality star was the guest of honor at a bridal shower blow out swathed in all the glitz and glamour you'd expect. So what kind of pre-wedding celebration is fitting for the new owner of a 20 carat, two million dollar engagement ring? Something larger-than-life, without doubt!
All of the guests who come to the wedding will be eager to share their well-wishes for you and the groom. Traditionally, a guest book is left near the entrance to the chapel or the reception for people to sign as they come in to be seated. The types of these books range from simple, inexpensive versions to elaborate leather and silk covered styles filled with handmade artisan papers. In addition to guest books, there are other unique and unusual ways to capture the signatures and sentiments of your family, friends and co-workers. Here are some of our favorites:
Searching for days and sometimes months, brides-to-be often pour over wedding magazines, attend bridal shows and seek out the celebrity influence when it comes to picking a wedding dress. To many ladies, the wedding is all about the dress - oh, and the husband, too! Traditionally, the gown of choice has been a white, floor length creation embellished with a varying degree of sequins, lace and crystals depending on the wearer's tastes. However, if you've been to enough weddings, you are sure t o see some unusual marriage outfits and here are some of our shocking favorites:
Today, weddings are all about cupcake towers and frothy white dresses. There are some remnants of tradition that many brides and grooms follow, but for the most part, anything goes during modern marriage unions! You'll be surprised, and perhaps confused, to find out some rather strange rituals and beliefs that were thought to be true in the past.
Are you *sing* "getting maaaarrried" sometime soon? If yes, then you're probably all a twitter plotting, planning and preparing every last detail for your wedding. From what to serve, what to wear, where to go, what to register for and who to invite, you may be feeling extremely overwhelmed. That's why it's a good idea to pick your bridesmaids as early as possible, so that they can help you make some of the big decisions – including what they'll wear.
Dreaming of a wedding on the beach, feeling the sand beneath your toes and saying your vows while the sun sets on the water-colored horizon? More and more couples are opting to get away for destination weddings, combining their nuptials and honeymoon into the same gorgeous venue. From Hawaii and the coast of Florida to the Caribbean or somewhere more exotic, a beach wedding has many implications for the bridesmaids.
Weddings are child's play! At the recent wedding of Catherine Middleton to Prince William (perhaps you heard of the shindig), the line-up of youngsters was quite prolific with tiny-tot bridesmaids and groomsmen. With Pippa and Prince Harry, siblings of the royal couple, serving as the bride of honor and best man respectively, the remaining procession of pomp and circumstance was quite youthful ranging in age from 3 to 10 years of age.
Expressing "thank you" in some form or fashion is one of the most important ways you can make the guests at your wedding feel valued. Most of your guests, especially your family, the in-laws and the wedding attendants on both sides, have spent many hours of their time and dollars in their pocketbooks to ensure that your Big Day is a big success. Others hired to help with the event, such as wedding planners, caterers, and photographers, have also yielded to your whims to make sure every last detail is executed to your satisfaction. Saying "thank you" verbally and by handwritten note shows your true character and is the best way to make others feel that their participation in your wedding was truly valued.
It's about time, Kim Kardashian finally found her guy. On May 18th, her honey of six months, Kris Humphries, proposed marriage spelled out in romantic rose-petal letters – and, of course, the reality star said "Yes!" But, who wouldn't say yes after seeing the stunning diamond engagement ring, a 20.5 carat sparkler.
Oh, Muffy! A little bird just told us of the latest trend in "themes" for your Big Day – preppy-chic weddings! Since this will be the most important day of your life, you'll want to make a smart choice in the general direction and ambiance of your event. You don't have to be an Ivy League graduate to know there is nothing smarter than taking on the traditional style and swagger of Preppy.
If a traditional bachelorette party or "girl's night out" isn't your cup of tea, consider putting aside those plans for a rowdy, wild event you just might regret for the newest trend in bridal events for an about-to-be-married gal, her bridesmaids and friends – a pre-wedding pajama party.
If you tuned into the British royal wedding back in April, you probably noticed that all the bridesmaids were little girls, with the exception of Kate's sister, Pippa. While quite different from customs in the United States, having children wedding attendants for both the bride and groom is nothing unusual in these aristocratic events. Actually, these young wedding helpers are much more like flower girls or ring bearers here in the good of U.S. of A.
If your friends are just as fond of flowers as food, we have the perfect way to make their day – and your big day too! Our edible cookies cards are an oh-so-tasteful way to ask friends and family to join in your special celebration, especially the 'Will You Be My' Edible Bouquet Card. Just imagine opening up the mailbox or being hand-delivered one of these scrumpdideelumptious invitations, you know you'd love it and they will too! Even Oprah loves these cookies; the media maven has featured cookies from manufacturer, The Flour Pot, on her must-read, must-have "O List."
Memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone. If that anonymous quote isn't enough reason to plan a bridesmaid getaway to the beach, we don't know what is! The sun on your shoulders and sand between your toes is a blissful way to unwind before your Big Day and bond with your friends. Make the experience even better for everyone in your party with a few of our favorite "beachy" accessories that are perfect to give as bridesmaid gifts
Most brides-to-be grapple with the decision on how many bridesmaids to include in their wedding. Bridesmaids are important to the wedding because they provide emotional and practical support for the bride leading up to the wedding and on the big day. Giving opinion on the bridal gown, reception venue and menu and helping address invitations, these are all duties a bridesmaid may be asked to do. Bridesmaids, along with the maid of honor, will also plan a bachelor party and host or help in the details of a bridal shower. On the wedding day, these attendants will help the bride get dressed, allay any concerns she is having and act as an ambassador on her behalf with guests. And, to thank each friend or family member, it is customary for the bride to give bridesmaids gifts as a token of her sentiments.

About Our Workshops
FAU's Writing Center will host workshops on common writing issues throughout the Spring semester. The workshops, led by certified writing center staff, provide a positive and dynamic forum for instruction beyond the classroom. These workshops last approximately one hour. They begin with 15 – 20 minutes of instruction and follow with 30 minutes of guided practice and application of lessons. Workshops are free and open to all members of the FAU community.
Pedagogy of Creative Writing Workshops
The basic goals of these workshops are to help participants form and improve a lexicon of craft terms as well as teach them how to implement such principles within their own work. When discussing fiction in a workshop environment, it is essential to approach each piece from a position of craft. This helps to steer the discussion away from general, nonspecific comments and towards concrete observations. Writers who engage in the discussion also benefit, as they will gain strategies for making choices when to use these elements in their own work. Workshops are not lecture-based. Rather, they operate as a decentered, accessible discussion that engenders conversations. Workshops limited to eight writers. Mieeting times occus 60-minutes per week for a two consecutive Wednesday evenings with four writers reading five minutes of material each session. Discussions begin with the opening comments from participants. Thse comments will be focused or redirected towards a larger understanding of the students' work from the perspective of craft.

Chris and Pam Schmick had spent six months cleaning out the scrap metal from their abandoned silos and just finished drilling thousands of holes in its walls. With little time to spare, they prepared for their climbing gym's grand opening on September 2, 1995—a date on which they had already agreed to hold a regional JCCA competition. The effort they've expended in the nearly 20 intervening years shows: today, climbers scramble on top ropes, lead ropes, and more than 20,000 square feet of lava-free climbing surface.
Instructors prepare visitors to surmount the gym's features in a range of classes, such as Rock Gym 101, which is an introduction to top-rope climbing that covers climbing safety, basic technique, and equipment. Once climbers are equipped with gear from the pro-shop, staff shows them around a multi-level bouldering cave, a main climbing area with 30-foot walls shaped by arêtes, cracks, and waves, and the building's five original silos. Elsewhere inside the gym, six auto-belays safely cradle visitors who wish to climb without taking a class.
With five kid-friendly attractions and an area that buzzes with arcade games, Kokomo Joe's Family Fun Center packs endless indoor entertainment under one roof. At Bounce Beach, kiddies can scamper and bound over inflatable bounce houses in the shadow of decorative palm trees and extra-tall adults. For friendly bouts of competition, six mini bowling lanes and an indoor, glow-in-the-dark mini golf course shrink grown-up games to a scale at which tykes can excel. Single or passenger go karts let both kids and adults test their racing skills, and a bumper car track lets guests unleash their road rage or flaunt their preternatural ability to yield to other vehicles. To keep appetites from undermining the fun, the Snack Shack serves a menu of sandwiches, chicken nuggets, pizza, and cold drinks.
STL Cinemas' quartet of movie houses mingles the vibrant pageantry of the early film industry with the technological sophistication of modern studio projects. Chase Park Plaza exudes the essence of this retro-contempo coupling, earning it the Riverfront Times 2010 Best Movie Theater award. With five intimate auditoriums, an all-digital sound system, and state-of-the-art projection, Chase Park Plaza coaxes movie-goers deep into the film's plot lines, characters, and 3-D effects easier than an underseat package containing a plaid dress, a little dog, and a magical Kansas twister. Before one of Chase's shows, bask in the sights of the lifelike trompe l'eoil murals, and soak in the sounds of a live organist who serenades the crowds with show-tune favorites such as "Phantom of the Opera," "Goldfinger," and "I'm a Little Tea Pot (The Remix)."
Sweating is a great way to meet new people, and Sports Monster has proved that since it started its first adult league in 1994. With year-round offerings that include volleyball, kickball, soccer, bowling, and other sports, interested kickers, hitters, and dribblers can sign up solo or with a fully formed team of friends or coworkers. Games take place all around the St. Louis area. With many nights available, participants can choose a time and location that best suits them. Annual members of Sports Monster leagues get an additional perk: free online dating opportunities with other league members, the only facet of the experience that doesn't offer any season-end trophies.
Forest Lake Tennis Club's experienced tennis pros refine serves and strokes on their eight indoor, air-conditioned courts. A tennis pro diagnoses your stroke for the first hour of the clinic, tinkering with your form and process. For the last half hour, racket raisers can test their newfound ability to defeat challengers with topspins, slices, and smashes that provide a more definitive ending to a match than the time Duke Evers knocked out Rocky Balboa with his autobiography. The clinic is geared toward advanced-beginner adult players, and classes hold a maximum of 32 adults, with a student-to-pro ratio of six to one. Throttle pea-green projectiles Tuesdays–Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 7:30 pm.

In time you will reap the benefits of being online. LBC soon became a respected leader inside of san diego delivery offering fast and reliable Express Courier and Money Remittance service throughout the Philippines. Many carry documents from one business to another, while others can deliver items to customers of the merchants. Many times, business cards can be had for little or even no money. It is quite likely that you'll have spent a great deal of time preparing before you take on self employed courier jobs.
Predictable Costs: Some traditional couriers keep logs of deliveries and then charge clients for all services over a certain period at the end of the week or month. Couriers of Chicago go farther than just requiring their drivers to participate in these programs. If you want some tangible results, these are also a great opportunity. The companies that have become expert at planning their routes and runs can be expected to have very efficient service. On the other hand, small cars or vans are used to deliver packages in larger areas.
Horticultural centers, like nurseries and garden centers, utilize supplies that are unique to their business, like thermal labels, pot tags, horticulture printers, tree labels, hang tags and more. The next time you're out looking for plants for your garden, have a look at some of the garden center's horticulture labels and tags. The one hour courier is one of the surest ways of making the deal very fast with your costumers and their shipments will be in less than 12 hours. There are many delivery companies in US that offer same day service so, if you want that this plan to work, surely you will find a company to do it. Given this direct correlation and a trusted record of reliable performance, LBC has become a trusted name and commercial success.
The main advantage of FTL shipping is that customers have leeway on the route that a truck makes; meaning that a move can be as fast as a customer wants. You might well have noticed that there are many delivery businesses with well-established websites – you may even come to the conclusion that the online space is overcrowded! Normally, clients with these companies are much larger. But it's not like that, courier service helps a lot to people and it is a effective means of transporting your goods or parcel to the person to whom you want to delivered it. Though you may not get to some things, having goals does allow you to achieve more in the long run.
The company paid a very reasonable courier orange county rates, and offers the best services. The most important aspects to look for are efficiency of the company, its reliability, experience and of course, the costs. You may also hire a shipping company for air freight as most of them have ventured into it and provide services in collaboration with airlines. The companies take care of your goods from the packaging stage until final shipment of the order. The second best thing is that you can save money regardless of whether the international maritime shipping company offers discounts.
Providing services is not something new, and has been around for hundreds of years. I also like to use technology to right wrongs and catch bad guys. When you're trying to find the highest quality courier service in your area, one of the first things that you can use as a means of measurement criteria is the variety of services that the courier offers you. A conference can accommodate over 50 people at a time.
This web-tele-competition has led to teleconferencing service venders provide inexpensive conference call at comparatively cheaper rates reducing your phone bills by more than 40% and increasing more of your business profits due to ease and seamless communication. Each courier company controls sizable portions of the market even though they are not nearly as large as UPS. A service that truly provides convenience while offering trustworthy and reliable delivery services built from over 50 years of service. Hitting the send button these days can be risky business, even dangerous, as emails bounce around the internet from server to server (making copies at each stop) in search of targeted recipients. Do shop around before settling for a quote because many companies will do special deals for you.
Even with a national courier service, your product might change hands 2 or 3 times. They offer guaranteed delivery times, so have no worry about delays.

No. 1 Duke goes cold, gets routed by No. 25 Miami 90-63
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — With a steady din coming from the sea of orange behind the visitors' basket, No. 1 Duke had a tough time making a shot.
The Blue Devils went more than 8 minutes without a field goal in the first half Wednesday night, and a sellout became a blowout for No. 25 Miami, which delighted a boisterous crowd with a 90-63 victory.
The defeat was the third-worst ever for a No. 1 team. The last time Duke lost a regular-season game by a bigger margin was in January 1984.

- The viral vector vaccine VSV-GP boosts immune response upon repeated applications (2012)
- Poster presentation AIDS Vaccine 2012 Boston, MA, USA. 9-12 September 2012 Background: Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a potent candidate vaccine vector for various viral diseases (e.g. HIV, HCV, RSV). The biggest limitation of VSV, however, is its neurotoxicity, which limits application in humans. The second drawback is that VSV induces neutralizing antibodies rapidly and is thus ineffective as a vaccine vector upon repeated applications. Our group has recently shown that VSV pseudotyped with the glycoprotein (GP) of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), VSV-GP, is not neurotoxic. The aim of this project was to evaluate the potential of VSV-GP as a vaccine vector. Methods: For this purpose, we used Ovalbumin (OVA) as a model antigen and analyzed immunogenicity of GP-pseudotyped and wildtype VSV containing OVA (VSV-GP-OVA and VSV-OVA) in vitro and in vivo in mouse models. Results: We showed that both vectors infected murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (bmDCs) in vitro. These bmDCs were able to activate OVA specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. Immunization experiments in mice revealed that both VSV-OVA and VSV-GP-OVA induced functional OVA-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) after a single immunization. In addition, with both viruses, mice generated antibodies against OVA. However, boosting with the same virus was only possible for the GP-pseudotyped virus but not for wild type VSV. The efficacy of repeated immunization with VSV-OVA was most likely limited by high levels of neutralizing antibodies, which we detected after the first immunization. In contrast, no neutralizing antibodies against VSV-GP were induced even after boosting. Conclusion: Taken together, we showed that the non-neurotoxic VSV-GP is able to induce specific T cell and B cell responses against the model antigen OVA to the same level as the wild type VSV vector. However, in contrast to wild type VSV, VSV-GP-OVA boosted the immune response upon repeated applications. Thus, VSV-GP is a promising novel vaccine vector.

- Cytotoxic capacity of IL-15-stimulated cytokine-induced killer cells against human acute myeloid leukemia and rhabdomyosarcoma in humanized preclinical mouse models (2012)
- Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) has become an important treatment modality for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is also under investigation for soft tissue sarcomas. The therapeutic success is still limited by minimal residual disease (MRD) status ultimately leading to patients' relapse. Adoptive donor lymphocyte infusions based on MRD status using IL-15-expanded cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells may prevent relapse without causing graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD). To generate preclinical data we developed mouse models to study anti-leukemic- and anti-tumor-potential of CIK cells in vivo. Immunodeficient mice (NOD/SCID/IL-2Rγc−, NSG) were injected intravenously with human leukemic cell lines THP-1, SH-2 and with human rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cell lines RH41 and RH30 at minimal doses required for leukemia or tumor engraftment. Mice transplanted with THP-1 or RH41 cells were randomly assigned for analysis of CIK cell treatment. Organs of mice were analyzed by flow cytometry as well as quantitative polymerase chain reaction for engraftment of malignant cells and CIK cells. Potential of CIK cells to induce GvHD was determined by histological analysis. Tissues of the highest degree of THP-1 cell expansion included bone marrow followed by liver, lung, spleen, peripheral blood (PB), and brain. RH30 and RH41 engraftment mainly took place in liver and lung, but was also detectable in spleen and PB. In spite of delayed CIK cell expansion compared with malignant cells, CIK cells injected at equal amounts were sufficient for significant reduction of RH41 cells, whereas against fast-expanding THP-1 cells 250 times more CIK than THP-1 cells were needed to achieve comparable results. Our preclinical in vivo mouse models showed a reliable 100% engraftment of malignant cells which is essential for analysis of anti-cancer therapy. Furthermore our data demonstrated that IL-15-activated CIK cells have potent cytotoxic capacity against AML and RMS cells without causing GvHD.
- Chemical Chaperones Improve Protein Secretion and Rescue Mutant Factor VIII in Mice with Hemophilia A. (2012)
- nefficient intracellular protein trafficking is a critical issue in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases and in recombinant protein production. Here we investigated the trafficking of factor VIII (FVIII), which is affected in the coagulation disorder hemophilia A. We hypothesized that chemical chaperones may be useful to enhance folding and processing of FVIII in recombinant protein production, and as a therapeutic approach in patients with impaired FVIII secretion. A tagged B-domain-deleted version of human FVIII was expressed in cultured Chinese Hamster Ovary cells to mimic the industrial production of this important protein. Of several chemical chaperones tested, the addition of betaine resulted in increased secretion of FVIII, by increasing solubility of intracellular FVIII aggregates and improving transport from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi. Similar results were obtained in experiments monitoring recombinant full-length FVIII. Oral betaine administration also increased FVIII and factor IX (FIX) plasma levels in FVIII or FIX knockout mice following gene transfer. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo applications of betaine were also able to rescue a trafficking-defective FVIII mutant (FVIIIQ305P). We conclude that chemical chaperones such as betaine might represent a useful treatment concept for hemophilia and other diseases caused by deficient intracellular protein trafficking.
- A functional yeast survival screen of tumor-derived cDNA libraries designed to identify anti-apoptotic mammalian oncogenes (2013)
- Yeast cells can be killed upon expression of pro-apoptotic mammalian proteins. We have established a functional yeast survival screen that was used to isolate novel human anti-apoptotic genes overexpressed in treatment-resistant tumors. The screening of three different cDNA libraries prepared from metastatic melanoma, glioblastomas and leukemic blasts allowed for the identification of many yeast cell death-repressing cDNAs, including 28% of genes that are already known to inhibit apoptosis, 35% of genes upregulated in at least one tumor entity and 16% of genes described as both anti-apoptotic in function and upregulated in tumors. These results confirm the great potential of this screening tool to identify novel anti-apoptotic and tumor-relevant molecules. Three of the isolated candidate genes were further analyzed regarding their anti-apoptotic function in cell culture and their potential as a therapeutic target for molecular therapy. PAICS, an enzyme required for de novo purine biosynthesis, the long non-coding RNA MALAT1 and the MAST2 kinase are overexpressed in certain tumor entities and capable of suppressing apoptosis in human cells. Using a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model, we also demonstrated that glioblastoma tumor growth requires MAST2 expression. An additional advantage of the yeast survival screen is its universal applicability. By using various inducible pro-apoptotic killer proteins and screening the appropriate cDNA library prepared from normal or pathologic tissue of interest, the survival screen can be used to identify apoptosis inhibitors in many different systems.
- Die Gentherapie kommt aus den Kinderschuhen : über beeindruckende Erfolge und die Beseitigung von Stolpersteinen (2013)
- Rückschläge werfen eine neue Technologie um Jahrzehnte zurück – besonders, wenn Menschenleben zu beklagen sind. Bei der Gentherapie wird aber oft vergessen, dass sie nur bei Patienten angewendet wird, für die es keine konventionelle Therapie mehr gibt. Nach der Euphorie und den Rückschlägen der Anfangsjahre können Forscher nun die ersten Erfolge vorweisen.
- Vaccination Directed against the Human Endogenous Retrovirus-K Envelope Protein Inhibits Tumor Growth in a Murine Model System (2013)
- Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) genomes are chromosomally integrated in all cells of an individual. They are normally transcriptionally silenced and transmitted only vertically. Enhanced expression of HERV-K accompanied by the emergence of anti-HERV-K-directed immune responses has been observed in tumor patients and HIV-infected individuals. As HERV-K is usually not expressed and immunological tolerance development is unlikely, it is an appropriate target for the development of immunotherapies. We generated a recombinant vaccinia virus (MVA-HKenv) expressing the HERV-K envelope glycoprotein (ENV), based on the modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA), and established an animal model to test its vaccination efficacy. Murine renal carcinoma cells (Renca) were genetically altered to express E. coli beta-galactosidase (RLZ cells) or the HERV-K ENV gene (RLZ-HKenv cells). Intravenous injection of RLZ-HKenv cells into syngenic BALB/c mice led to the formation of pulmonary metastases, which were detectable by X-gal staining. A single vaccination of tumor-bearing mice with MVA-HKenv drastically reduced the number of pulmonary RLZ-HKenv tumor nodules compared to vaccination with wild-type MVA. Prophylactic vaccination of mice with MVA-HKenv precluded the formation of RLZ-HKenv tumor nodules, whereas wild-type MVA-vaccinated animals succumbed to metastasis. Protection from tumor formation correlated with enhanced HERV-K ENV-specific killing activity of splenocytes. These data demonstrate for the first time that HERV-K ENV is a useful target for vaccine development and might offer new treatment opportunities for diverse types of cancer.
- The T-Cell Oncogene Tal2 Is a Target of PU.1 and Upregulated during Osteoclastogenesis (2013)
- Transcription factors play a crucial role in regulating differentiation processes during human life and are important in disease. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors Tal1 and Lyl1 play a major role in the regulation of gene expression in the hematopoietic system and are involved in human leukemia. Tal2, which belongs to the same family of transcription factors as Tal1 and Lyl1, is also involved in human leukaemia. However, little is known regarding the expression and regulation of Tal2 in hematopoietic cells. Here we show that Tal2 is expressed in hematopoietic cells of the myeloid lineage. Interestingly, we found that usage of the Tal2 promoter is different in human and mouse cells. Two promoters, hP1 and hP2 drive Tal2 expression in human erythroleukemia K562 cells, however in mouse RAW cells only the mP1 promoter is used. Furthermore, we found that Tal2 expression is upregulated during oesteoclastogenesis. We show that Tal2 is a direct target gene of the myeloid transcription factor PU.1, which is a key transcription factor for osteoclast gene expression. Strikingly, PU.1 binding to the P1 promoter is conserved between mouse and human, but PU.1 binding to P2 was only detected in human K562 cells. Additionally, we provide evidence that Tal2 influences the expression of the osteoclastic differentiation gene TRACP. These findings provide novel insight into the expression control of Tal2 in hematopoietic cells and reveal a function of Tal2 as a regulator of gene expression during osteoclast differentiation.
- Epigenetic aberrations and cancer (2006)
- The correlation between epigenetic aberrations and disease underscores the importance of epigenetic mechanisms. Here, we review recent findings regarding chromatin modifications and their relevance to cancer.
- Enzymatic and antisense effects of a specific anti-Ki-ras ribozyme in vitro and in cell culture (1999)
- Due to their mode of action, ribozymes show antisense effects in addition to their specific cleavage activity. In the present study we investigated whether a hammerhead ribozyme is capable of cleaving mutated Ki-ras mRNA in a pancreatic carcinoma cell line and whether antisense effects contribute to the activity of the ribozyme. A 2[prime]-O-allyl modified hammerhead ribozyme was designed to cleave specifically the mutated form of the Ki-ras mRNA (GUU motif in codon 12). The activity was monitored by RT-PCR on Ki-ras RNA expression by determination of the relative amount of wild type to mutant Ki-ras mRNA, by 5-bromo-2[prime]-deoxy-uridine incorporation on cell proliferation and by colony formation in soft agar on malignancy in the human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line CFPAC-1, which is heterozygous for the Ki-ras mutation. A catalytically inactive ribozyme was used as control to differentiate between antisense and cleavage activity and a ribozyme with random guide sequences as negative control. The catalytically active anti-Ki-ras ribozyme was at least 2-fold more potent in decreasing cellular Ki-ras mRNA levels, inhibiting cell proliferation and colony formation in soft agar than the catalytically inactive ribozyme. The catalytically active anti-Ki-ras ribozyme, but not the catalytically inactive or random ribozyme, increased the ratio of wild type to mutated Ki-ras mRNA in CFPAC-1 cells. In conclusion, both cleavage activity and antisense effects contribute to the activity of the catalytically active anti-Ki-ras hammerhead ribozyme. Specific ribozymes might be useful in the treatment of pancreatic carcinomas containing an oncogenic GTT mutation in codon 12 of the Ki-ras gene.

From the President
Fall 2008
Return to Table of Contents
In a year in which Hofstra's national – and international – reputation has increased, we recognize that it is the vision, dedication and scholarship of our faculty that are at the center of our success. In the past year, we have successfully hosted the third and final presidential debate,announced our plans to form the Hofstra University School of Medicine in partnership with North Shore-LIJ Health System, and furthered our commitment to diversity through a number of initiatives, such as the Person of Color Sculpture Competition and the inaugural Guru Nanak Interfaith Prize, which recognizes efforts as interfaith dialogue.
Critical to the success of all our major initiatives is the involvement of our faculty, who have played an integral role inHofstra's transformation from a good regional college to a renowned national university.
In this issue of Hofstra Horizons are four examples of the breadth and excellence of our faculty's scholarship. Professor ofLaw Julian Ku analyzes the interaction of international tribunals and U.S. courts, while Assistant Professor of Psychology OskarPineño looks at how experiments in the animal laboratory can help us understand maladaptive human behavior.
For an understanding of the current state of the media, BobPapper, professor and chair of the Department of Journalism,Media Studies and Public Relations, studies the metrics of viewership and media usage in the U.S. market, using theRTNDA/Hofstra University Annual Survey. And in an article that describes the issues of black students in majority minority suburbs, Dr. Marlene Munn-Joseph, assistant professor of curriculum and teaching, describes how she and her colleagues in the School of Education, Health and Human Services are working with real applications to enhance achievement in those schools.
These are but four scholarly articles by our faculty and, as always, they serve as examples of how our faculty use excellent scholarship to connect to the professions, the communities around us, and the greater world.
I hope you enjoy this issue of Hofstra Horizons.

CHICAGO - The Red Sox skipped Daniel Bard's last start then used the righthander in relief for an inning Monday. It seemed like a precursor to moving him back to the bullpen for good.
That proved not to be the case. Bard started against the Chicago White Sox Friday night and continued to make a compelling case to stay in the rotation, pitching seven strong innings in a 10-3 victory.
That's five straight wins for the Red Sox, who have found life away from Fenway Park quite accommodating. They have outscored the Twins and White Sox, 44-19, on a road trip that has two games remaining.
Bard scattered six hits and allowed three runs, two earned, to drop his earned run average to 3.72 and raise his record to 2-2. He walked one and struck out six.
"I honestly do feel like I've gotten better with each outing, going all the way back to the spring,'' Bard said. "I've gotten more comfortable throwing offspeed [pitches] in fastball counts. I'm more consistently throwing strike one with my fastball, which tonight was huge for me.
"Just a combination of things. I'm learning the little nuances of starting and tonight was a step in the right direction.''
Veteran Aaron Cook is 3-0 with a 1.33 ERA in four starts for Triple A Pawtucket and can declare free agency Tuesday if he is not in the majors. As manager Bobby Valentine said, that has put Bard under a microscope. But it doesn't show on the mound.
"I've been very impressed with his focus. Those things could have gotten him mentally out of touch with his start,'' Valentine said. "There was a lot to like from what I saw tonight.''
Bard was efficient, throwing 63 of his 96 pitches for strikes. He threw first-pitch strikes to 19 of the 29 batters he faced and changed speeds with his slider, throwing it as hard as 85 miles per hour and then dropping it down to 78 to induce contact.

is so damn awesome!$30 for 5lbs,25g protein,about 70 servings.what a deal.thanks LG sciences.
i've seen it for as low as $17...
yeah i got 5 lbs for $15 once...this was before they changed the taste
Stuff is good man! Solid profile, good price and now excellent taste!
I am all about the chocolate!
how is the taste compared to myofusion. I bought some of the gourmet protein on the new years sale and cant stand the taste. It will be the longest 5 lbs of protein I have ever had to drink. I mix one scoop gourmet and one myofusion to make it a little more desirable
Good stuff - I was using it for my prebreakfast shake. Nice mixability, inoffensive taste.
Are both flavors on nutra the new flavors? When i put chocolate in my cart the picture changes to the old labeling. Thats scares me lol.

You like Instagram, right? And what you like about Instagram, aside from the appetite stimulation and cat photos, are those nifty little filters. The ones that take your scrumptious Thanksgiving turkey, your big-eyed 1-year-old nephew, the street scene from your table outside Four Barrel coffee, and alter them just so, adding extra scrumptiousness and urbanity. The fact that these filters are meant to imitate the color-shifting effects of old films and cameras is incidental; what they really do is make art out of your humdrum snapshot by ever so slightly fictionalizing it.

Well, that can really depend on who you are. If you are a very big company like Microsoft then you can afford to have your own data centres and you will probably have your own secure server room but for most businesses it makes economical sense to outsource.
How should data be stored?
Paul Lightfoot, Managed Services Director at The Bunker, explains how costly it can be keeping your data secure on site. He says, "If you put that system in your own building, you've got to have security around it, you've got to have the back up generators, you've got have the cooling, the power into the building and the people to look after it 24/7 potentially, that is a big cost and if you're a publishing company or a payment gateway why would you want to have those headaches when you're not a specialist." Over the years the cost of the internet has decreased considerably while its reliability has increased which makes outsourcing the servers a more legitimate route to take.
Of course, if you are a large company then you can afford to have servers on site that are looked after securely. Sharp is one example. IT Systems Analyst, Andy Guyett, says, "In terms of security, local data provides localised access without the need for data to travel over a potentially open connection such as the internet. This removes one potential security 'hole'. We have local control of where the data is stored and can limit the number of individuals who have physical access to the server locations."
If you are not as big as Microsoft or Sharp then employing the services of a data centre such as The Bunker can be an incredibly smart move. By having enough clients they have the advantage of economy of scale creating a very secure site both physically and virtually. The starting price for having your servers located at a remote location can start from £10,000 – £12,000 a year, which would be significantly cheaper than employing a team of security guards and technicians on your own premises.
A question of security
On top of this, The Bunker has two electricity supplies in case one breaks down, two generators if both mains supplies fail, uninterruptable power supplies (large banks of batteries) and back-up servers from another site in the unlikely scenario all prior safety measures fail. Also, being located in the hinterland, outside Sandwich in Kent, gives The Bunker that added security. Lightfoot says, "There is obviously a high risk in London with floods, terrorism, power shortage, tube strikes, the Olympics etc, all those things don't exist out here."
The Bunker also has certain accreditation that companies would find very hard to earn off their own back. For example, The Bunker has PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) which is needed if a business wants to receive online payment from a customer via debit or credit cards. Ray Welsh, Head of Sales and Marketing, explains, "It is a very prescribed standard, there are 12 requirements that break down into over 200 points and you have to pass each one. If you don't you're not supposed to be processing credit cards and you will be fined." Surely then, for many new businesses it is much easier to automatically receive this accreditation by placing your servers in a place like The Bunker than go through the expensive rigmarole of earning them independently.
The future for the IT Manager
There is no doubt then that for most businesses it is far cheaper to outsource their data processing to secure, safe and reliable data centres but what does this mean for the IT manager as a vital member of any burgeoning company; will they become redundant?
Both Sharp and The Bunker seem to think not. Guyett says, "I believe there will always be a need for an IT Manager. The role will always be required to help drive innovation and direct the business in terms of infrastructure and technology. Even if a remote data-storage topology is adopted, there will always need to be someone leading the way forward for new ideas, methods and techniques for the business to function, otherwise there is a danger of stagnation and therefore being left behind."
All it means is that the IT manager's role will evolve. Welsh agrees, "They need IT to support the business, so instead of the IT managers being technicians working with servers they are able to do strategic business planning and become expert buyers of outsourced and cloud computing as a service."
Reflecting, he adds, "The world is changing and people are adapting. IT skills are changing but that has always been the case."
