Google Image Search has two new content restriction options: clip art and line drawings. Besides the two new options, you can restrict the results to faces, photos and illustrations for recent news articles.
"Many of us use Google Image Search to find imagery of people, clip art for presentations, diagrams for reports, and of course symbols and patterns for artistic inspiration. Unfortunately, searching for the perfect image can be challenging if the search results match the meaning of your query but aren't in a style that's useful to you," explains Google's blog.
You can find the restrictions in the drop-down that has the default option "any content". After ignoring the content of the images and only indexing the associated text and metadata, image search engine are transitioning to a new model that involves analyzing the images, detecting objects and recognizing patterns.

Spotted during testing on the Nurburgring today was the BMW M1 test mule! This test mule doesnt wear the more advanced prototype M1 body as we posted earlier, but is out testing powertrain, chassis, suspension, and handling properties. We also see for the first time what could be the carbon fiber roof.

Resident photoshop guru Gerald Alvarez has almost hit the BMW M1 design on the head with his latest beautiful render. So close in fact that BMW insider Scott26 thought that he was looking at official pictures when spotted Gerald's latest M1 impression!
We just posted the latest BMW M1 / 1M spyshots yesterday, but Gerald Alvarez has already been hard at work photochopping the car based on the latest hints from the spy photos. He's even added the M styling cues that are so far missing from the test mule.
Here is it folks! The BMW M1 test mule in its real bumper, widened fenders, integrated duckbill trunk spoiler, upgraded M wheels, large brakes with cross-drilled rotors, and other bits of M goodies!! Although the hood power bulge, quad exhausts, and M side gills are not yet apparent, these are cosmetic items which are simply not yet added to this early production test mule.
Scott26 provides some sketches and notes to a BMW M1 vs. S1000RR commercial. It reads: In the city traffic a lone superbike (S1000) weaves in between the traffic it's heavenly sound reverberating off the tall skyscrapers that surround the street…and the S1000 RR hits speed as it crosses an interchange, focus on the car that comes speeding through into view after the bike, engine roaring , performance at full visual , chases the bike through the streets of LA into the 2nd St Tunnel… THE … CONTINUED
Many sites are making broad proclamations of the M1′s life or death based on assumptions and statements from BMW contacts. Here, moderator southlight takes a closer look and breaks down the factors which backup both the believers and non-believers of the M1.
BMW inside Scott26 provides some updates on BMW M1 development (full info inside), including introduction & production timeline, pricing, convertible version, and more. Whether the information is accurate is for you to decide, but it's certainly somewhat assuring to continue hearing M1 details.
Insideline reports that there is no BMW M1 coming. This comes after the nonappearance of the M1 concept at the 2010 Geneva Motorshow, at which it was expected. Instead there will be a hopped up 135is version of the 1-series. But, BMW insider Scott26 maintains that the M1 is coming. Who really knows? Nobody but Rumplestiltskin!
Before this morning's BMW Press Conference came and went, we had already accepted the sad fact that no BMW M1 concept would be making a surprise appearance. So why no M1 appearance? If a certain insider is to be believed, it's because a higher-up at BMW recently drove and was disappointed by the M1 prototype, and has requested changes which the M1 concept is currently undergoing. Another reason is supposedly that BMW wishes to concentrate its marketing on products coming to market sooner than the M1 … CONTINUED
Certainly BMW shows this car off soon, until then the photoshoppers will fill the void and give us wonderful takes on what the car could look like. Here is one based on the few leaked details we know about this car thus far.
What you are seeing here is the clearest teaser yet of the BMW M1 concept which is widely speculated to be making its debut at the 2010 Geneva auto show in just over a week's time. Wide rear fenders appear on the M1 concept, as well what could be a vent or diffuser behind the rear fenders.
The upcoming BMW M1 will feature an impressive options personalization program for many cosmetic additions. Mentioned items include a full range of carbon fiber exterior parts. M-stripes on exterior (in different colors and placements). 18″ competition wheels in two different finishes. Multiple matte exterior colors and the return of Techno Violet !
Here is a render of the upcoming BMW M1 by a 1addicts member. Although it's missing certain elements we're sure to see on the M1, this render gives some preview as to how the car will look with aggressive M-style front bumper, front fender gill, carbon fiber roof, and wheels.
Here are some new higher resolution pictures of the very same BMW M1 mule that has been spotted before. We can clearly see the temporary rear wheel arches affixed to accomodate the testing of a wider track. The production M1 body will sport actual broader flared arches to fit the widened rear track.
Here are some exciting details on the upcoming BMW M1: More muscular appearance than regular 1-series, Trapezoid grille flanked by two intakes to allow extra brake cooling, Six piston brakes, High performance intercooler, Sportier looking headlights than standard 1-series, Small lip spoilers above brake duct inlets to provide extra air flow and downforce, The front wings of the car are massaged slightly to accomodate the wider track. Rear end is also wider. Standard 18″ 5-spoke wheels with optional 18″ Competition wheels (18″ will be the optimium … CONTINUED
Here you see a rendering of the upcoming BMW M1 from Autozeitung magazine. According to BMW marketing insider Scott26, "The look is very close to the aerodynamic pack that adorns the M1″ (minus the metallic crossbars). The magazine also mentions that the M1 will go on sale in Summer 2011, with 355 bhp, 0-60 mph under 5 seconds, and M3 suspension!
The concept M1 is expected at the Geneva Auto Show.
The first teaser image of the upcoming BMW M1 has surfaced on 1addicts! The small image shows a beefy front bumper sculpted in latest M-style, with huge air inlets for engine and brake cooling. According to insiders, the M1 will be unveiled in a unique matte finish, after being tested with many different matte finishes (sepang bronze, white, etc.). Colors options will be plentiful, ranging from the current M colors to updates of past M colors, and even an Inka Orange color (from the … CONTINUED

ATLANTA (November 13, 2012) -- Baylor senior All-American point guard Pierre Jackson has been named to the 2012-13 Naismith early season watch list, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Tuesday.
Jackson is one of 50 student-athletes on the watch list for the Naismith Men's College Player of the Year. The 50-player watch list was compiled by the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors, which based its criteria on player performances from the previous year and expectations for the 2012-13 season.
Jackson, the 2012-13 Big 12 Conference Preseason Player of the Year and a member of the Wooden Award Preseason Top 50, led Baylor with 13.8 points, 5.9 assists and 1.8 steals per game in his debut season in Waco last year. His 223 assists were the second-highest single-season total in program history, and he posted double-figure points in 27 of 38 games, including an average of 17.6 points per game in the last eight contests.
A Las Vegas, Nev., native, Jackson led Baylor to a pair of wins on the season's opening weekend. He had 14 points and 12 assists for his sixth career double-double in Friday's 99-77 win over Lehigh, and he led all scorers with 25 points and seven assists in Sunday's 78-47 win against Jackson State.
Jackson is one of five Big 12 players on the watch list, including Kansas State's Rodney McGruder, Kansas' Ben McLemore and Jeff Withey and Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart.
A mid-season team of the top 30 players nationally will be announced in late February, and in March the Naismith Trophy voting academy will narrow the list to four finalists.
No. 16/17 Baylor returns to action on Thursday in the opening round of the ESPN Charleston Classic at Carolina First Arena in Charleston, S.C. The Bears open tournament play against Boston College at 2 p.m. CT on ESPNU, and then Baylor takes on either Dayton or Colorado at 11:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. Friday on ESPNU.

Sam's Club will be open for business early on Thursday morning.
The new store located at 220 U.S. Hwy. 1 in Aiken opens at 8:30 a.m. Aiken Sam's Club Manager Gerald Raymond said there are approximately 180 energetic associates ready to serve Sam's Club members.
"We're very excited," Raymond said. "It's been a long time coming, and we are really humbled by the support that we've received from the community."
Raymond has been the manager of three other Sam's Clubs, but said this is the first time he has worked with a store starting from the ground up. He said there's been some challenges, but it's been a memorable experience.
In a press release, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., offered congratulations to the new business.
"I know you will find our best assets to be the people of South Carolina," Graham stated in the release. "We believe in hard work, determination and character. I know that you will do well in this community and anticipate you will have many years of prosperity."
The Aiken Sam's Club is approximately 136,000 square feet, which is large enough to fit two football fields inside, the release reads.
The Aiken store includes a hearing aid center, optical center, pharmacy, fresh produce, meats, a variety of office supplies, electronics and more. A six-pump gas station is also on site.
The membership-only retail warehouse club owned and operated by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is the nation's eighth largest retailer and has more than 47 million members across the country as well as in Brazil, China and Mexico, according to a press release.
Aiken Sam's Club Membership and Hiring Center is open today at 156 University Parkway (Suites 101-103) for anyone interested in purchasing a membership. Starting Thursday, memberships can be obtained at the store.
For more information, visit www.samsclub.com/membership.
A soft opening for current members will take place today at 5 p.m.

The mark of a great competition movie is if you go into the theater either despising or not at all caring about the sport/art/craft in question and you leave promising yourself to buy tickets to the next real-life event in your area. That happened to me with Best in Show 12 years ago — I have been to at least five dog shows since then — and now I'm seriously looking into the next collegiate a cappella showdown after seeing Pitch Perfect. Will I feel the same way about Butter? We'll see. Anyway, on the occasion of not one but two movies featuring weird but bizarrely obsessive niche contests opening this weekend, we thought we'd look back at some other faves of the genre. Some are high quality films — like Drumline, The Hunger Games and Glengarry Glen Ross. Others are pure camp — Bring It On, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Strictly Ballroom. And a few are great if you fast forward to the preparation montages and the contests/battles themselves — Breakin', Stomp the Yard, Step Up 2 the Streets. What's your favorite? Check out the gallery and weigh in!

A Wilkes County middle school is turning to a group of donkeys to help raise money.
Eight donkeys will ship in from Boiling Springs for a specially trained basketball game. The evening is being showcased as 'Donkeyball, the Wildest & Funniest Show on Earth.'
The creative evening of fun and excitment is designed by Professional Animal Frolics.
According to East Wilkes Middle School, the animal company produces some of the best donkey ball games in the business.
The performance will be held on Feb. 21 at 6:30 p.m.
"We get volunteer members from faculty and staff, coaches from feeder schools and high schools, local people…and its a basketball game where you ride the donkey and try to score," said athletic director Chuck Hudson. "That's only if you can convince the donkey to move, let alone to stay on it."
Some donkeys are very tame. However, "some donkeys require people willing to sacrifice themselves," said Hudson with a chuckle.
"We expect a great turnout for this event," he said. "The school has had success in the past with the donkeys. The night does very well. We've packed this place both times we've held it. We've made good money for the successful event and that helps do a ton of good for our kids.
"To date we've never had an animal accident, but we are prepared with a poop er-scooper just in case," laughed Hudson. "It's all part of the show."
Proceeds benefit the school Athletic Booster Club.
Advance tickets are on sale now at East Wilkes Middle School. Adults are $6. Children are $5. Children 5 and under are free. Gate admissions are higher so early ticket purchases are encouraged.
For additional information on this event and other activities by the East Wilkes Middle School, please call the school at 928-9800.
All animals are under the supervision of Professional Animal Frolics of Boiling Springs.

Mondays, 7:30 - 9 pm
May 6 - June 10, 2013
with Jeremy Levie
How do we actualize this fundamental point of our life and practice? The Genjo Koan, originally a letter from Dogen Zenji to a lay student, is perhaps the most highly valued writing in the whole of Dogen's masterwork, Shobogenzo. Appreciated for its literary style, the Genjo Koan unfolds the foundational philosophy that supports the many concrete instructions Dogen Zenji gave to his students and is a poetic expression of Dogen's teaching of practice-realization.
We will engage with this work through careful study and close reading of many sections of the text, with a particular eye toward its relevance for our everyday practice. Class participants will have the opportunity to memorize and recite passages from the text and to participate in exercises and discussions oriented toward bringing this fascicle into our daily lives.

Recommended places to visit in China
The Great Wall
Snaking some 5,500 miles (8,800km) across the country – no trip to China is complete without a visit to this world famous UNESCO World Heritage site. Hike along impressive parts of the Great Wall that are still intact or just stop and admire the magnificent views all around. Our group tours visit famous Badaling – most popular with the Chinese but for a slightly different view why not head to Mutianyu or Jinshanling if you have some extra time in Beijing.
Terracotta Warriors
Famously found by some farmers in 1974, the Terracotta Warriors are fast becoming one of China's most popular attractions. Incredibly these 8000 or so soldiers are all unique with no one face being the same as any other. The majority of these are in one of the three pits near to Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum near to Xi'an – though some have travelled the world appearing in exhibitions in London, Barcelona, the USA, South America and India!
Formerly Peking, Beijing is without doubt the epicentre of China's politics, economy and culture. From historical Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City to the traditional Hutongs and modern Olympic Park. Beijing is certainly not to be missed! Whether you want to ride a rickshaw in the Hutongs, check out Chairman Mao's mausoleum or ride a segway around the Bird's Nest Olympic stadium – Beijing is definitely a place to spend a few extra days in.
Perched on China's east coast, Shanghai is home to lots of futuristic skyscrapers, the historic and decadent Bund area as well as over 100 public parks. For the best views of the city head up the Oriental Pearl tower or take a relaxing cruise along the Huangpu River. Shopaholics can get their fix on the famous Nanjing Road and nothing tastes like Shanghai than a bellyful of traditional dumplings!
Home to the nation's favourite mascot, the giant panda, Chengdu offers one of the best experiences to see these beautiful bears at the Giant Panda Breeding Centre. The city is the capital of the Sichuan Province, which means lots of delicious if somewhat spicy food! You can also enjoy a leisurely stroll around Jinli Street at night – great for shopping and eating – or head out to the impressive Giant Buddha of Le Shan just a couple of hours outside the city.
Longsheng & Dragon's Backbone
Famed for its impressive rice terraces, Longsheng is a wonderful respite from the hustle and bustle of many of China's main cities. One of the most famous being Longji (Dragon's Backbone) which when full of water (usually in Spring) resembles that of the scaly back of a dragon. It's the perfect place to to appreciate Chinese countryside and get a real glimpse into local rural life.
Cycling on the Old City Wall
City Walls are very common in China and the one in Xi'an is particularly special as you have the opportunity to cycle, run, walk, ride around the whole thing! Built in a traditional Chinese style you really get a feel for the city and some impressive views are had at various look out points. You can even go on a tandem bike for those who don't want to do all the cycling work themselves!
Justin went above and beyond to ensure all members of the group had a great time. He dealt with everything in a great way and made the whole trip stress-free and gave us an amazing experience in China."

Sup friends..
We are in the lovely state of Florida right now finishing up the tour. So sad it's coming to an end. I have loved this tour so much. Man its been fun. Like I said before there are just so many awesome people on this tour. Gonna be sad that it's over. You know one person who I should dedicate our tour too and this blog too is our amazing bus driver Mark. That guy knows how to drive a bus. I swear, I have never slept better in my entire life. And you should know that I really like my sleep. So thanks to him, us girls get alot of beauty rest so we can be oh so happy during shows and meet and greets. And we also have our sanity. Which is a wonderful thing. You should thank him. Perhaps send him a christmas card. I don't know..Just think about it..
Well, hello, hello... It's been a long time since I've written one of these bad boys. And I'm hoping to make it more of a regular thing. Cause let's just admit it.—Who doesn't want to read what's going on in my little head? You know you love it!
Love & War was birthed out of two extremes in the Christian life: hope in Christ and spiritual warfare. In the process of writing this album we found that while we experience times of mourning and pain, we must rise up and fight for our faith. We wrote the lead single "Beautiful Ending" out of fear from seeing so many leaders of the faith becoming distracted by their calling, forsaking Christ as their first love, and ultimately coming to a tragic end. It is our prayer that we do not come distracted by the things of the world and that we will end in the arms of Christ. This is such a personal album for us and we hope it meets you are at and that these songs encourage you the same way they have encouraged us.
Thank YOU for all of your support over the years of our music and ministry!

Volleyball Splits, Stays Impressive at 7-2

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – Play was just as exciting and the competition was just as fierce on day two of the Hilbert College women's volleyball Invitational Tournament. After pool play on Friday, the six teams reshuffled and faced opponents whom they did not play September 14th. No tournament champion was determined, but solid sportsmanship was displayed.
Hilbert and D'Youville faced each other in a non-conference match as an early warm-up to AMCC play in ten days. The Hawks won the first two sets then dropped the third, before they regrouped to claim the match (25-20, 25-23, 21-25, 25-16) to improve to 7-1. Jordan Botsford finished with .231 hitting (8 kills) while Chelsea Reischuck netted 10 kills herself. Devon Jonathan worked the outside earning 9 kills and four digs.
Fredonia and SUNYIT followed the same suit, with Fredonia, the eventual winner, claiming the first, third and fourth sets (25-19, 24-26, 25-12, 25-15). Fourteen Blue Devils saw court time and in a very balanced effort (with four players earning 7 or more kills and another four credited with double digit digs) Fredonia advanced with a clean slate. Kelly Edinger continued to pace the team with 32 assists.
SUNYIT and D'Youville (3-9) ended the tournament with a three set victory for the Spartans from Buffalo (25-17, 25-20, 25-21). SUNYIT 's Kaitlyn Harrington finished the match with 8 kills. Harrington, Jessica Sass and Erika Reakes all were credited with 10 digs.
Meanwhile, Keystone and Keuka were playing their first game of the day next door. Keuka opened with a 3-0 victory (25-7, 25-12, 25-12). Three Giants from Keystone finished with double digs, led by Shelby Morgan's 13 (4 digs).
The last two matches of the tournament pitted Fredonia against Keystone and Hilbert against Keuka. Fredonia went on a service ace tear to capture the match in 3 sets. As a team, the Blue Devils finished with 23 aces en route to the 25-10, 25-10, 25-8 victory. Kaitlin Orcutt personally brought home the second set for Fredonia, and claimed 12 service aces for the match. Keystone's Laryn Haas secured 10 digs.
Keuka took straights sets from Hilbert to close out tournament play 3-1 elevating their overall record to 7-3. Strong defensive play by the Storm again prevented the Hawks from victory. This was only the second loss the Hawks (7-2) took this season, but both were at the hands of Keuka. Allegra Johnson led at the net with 8 kills, Shannon Memminger with 17 assists and Chelsea Reischuck and Jordan Botsford shared digs at 7 each. Keuka finished with 61 digs as a team with Taylor Smith (21) and Paige Golden (15) credited for more than fifty percent of the team's total. Devan Curtis served up 5 aces.
Fredonia (5-7) finished the tournament with a 4-0 record, followed by Keuka (7-3) and Hilbert (7-2) at 3-1. D'Youville (3-9) and SUNYIT (1-12) each grabbed one win, while Keystone (0-11) dropped all four matches.
Full tournament scores can be found on this link.

does today reaffirm anything for you, or make you reassess anything?
I have no problem at all paying full price for major releases, provided the full price reflects the new, larger App Store software market. $199 every couple of years for a pro tool like Logic is great. I've been using it long enough to remember when it was $1500 with an additional $500 for plug-ins/instruments, so the newer pricing seems like a steal.
Rebuying each major release definitely makes other aspects simpler, too. There's no need to enter older version serial numbers or prove ownership some other way. There's no issue with cross grades or changing from different platforms. There's no I-had-the-education-version-and-now-I-need-the-full-version. You want it, you buy it.

Rated 2.8 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Sajjj Wanted to love it - but faulty I really like the look of this bag which i bought use for uni. It fits my 13inch macbook pro both horizontally and vertically with room to spare for other books and what not. The fabric is thick and sturdy, and the colour is more brown than olive as shown in the picture. However the bag can't really be closed properly with the strap. The only downfall for me is that one of the straps on the bag is all shrunken and mangled, as if been exposed to heat. I can't adjust the mangled strap and it looks really ugly. I expect way better quality from a bag of this price. 11.28.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by LaurenMoon eh... I bought this bag and within a few weeks, two of the leather tabs ripped off. Not worth the money. 3.27.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by adaly I'm in Love!!! I am so glad I spent the money on this backpack. I just love the rugged vintage vibe it gives off. If you are not sure about this bag I suggest you just buy it! 10.3.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Carlynro Beautiful Bag but doesn't close well If you're looking for a bag that looks like a backpack but don't intend to fill it with a lot of things, then this is the bag for you. If you really need a cool functional backpack this one has its issues. IT DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY!!!! If you have barely anything in it then you're fine because it will collapse in on itself and not gape open. If you have a lot of items in it, it will gape open and someone could reach in and get items out that are near the top. On the plus side, it is a beautiful fabric. I don't understand why the designer didn't create a hidden magnetic clasp if they were worried about sacrificing the design. The only thing you have to hold it closed is the thin leather strap. in the picture. The model has her bag most likely filled with paper to give you an idea of dimensions. So don't be fooled by the picture about how well this will close. I wish I had listened to the other reviews that said it has issues with closing properly. Returning item. 2.1.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by viola over priced I was so excited about this bag, but when i got it, i think they sent me the one that the girl in the review below had returned! one of the straps is all mangled and curled up, also the horizontal leather strap that you hook the closure strap through is hanging on by a thread on one side. expected better quality and quality control by freepeople for $130 2.1.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by magicshelly Not was I was hoping for I just received this bag and I actually did not like it. It does not close well and is just a little too ugly for me. It is also larger and heavier than I thought. Sadly I will be returning it. 10.9.2012

Citizens of Canada are not required to obtain an actual visa stamp, but instead receive TN status from a U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer on their passport and I-94 at a port of entry* into the U.S., by providing:
*This means at a major port of entry, at a U.S. airport handling international traffic, or at a U.S. pre-flight inspection station. If traveling by air, the required documentation must be presented well in advance of actual departure time to allow for processing time. TN status is not processed at every U.S.-Canada border crossing; individuals should call the inspection station at the planned port of entry ahead of time to verify that TN applications are accepted.
Citizens of Mexico must apply for a TN visa stamp at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate overseas with similar supporting documents as for Canadians as listed above. See the Mexico section on the NAFTA website. For updated information regarding procedures and visa application fees, visit the specific Consulate's website.
Scholars may also exit and re-enter the U.S. for the purpose of extending TN Status. Citizens of Mexico will need to apply for another TN visa stamp if they plan to re-enter after their current TN visa stamp has expired.
Although sponsorship is not required for scholars who obtain TN status or a TN visa stamp as described above, the Office of Global Services can advise on the TN. Department liaisons should allow 1-2 months lead time in advance of the desired appointment start date to request advice. The liaison and scholar should complete a TN Inquiry Form to initiate the process.
Canadian or Mexican citizens may change into TN status or extend their existing TN status without leaving the U.S., if NYU files a TN petition (form I-129) with USCIS. Department liaisons should contact the Office of Global Services at least 4-5 months in advance of the desired appointment start date to request a change of status or an extension for a TN scholar. The liaison and scholar should complete a TN Inquiry Form to initiate the process. USCIS should adjudicate the TN petition (form I-129) according to the normal processing times posted on their website (subject to change). If necessary, cases can be expedited by using premium processing (form I-907) for an additional fee.
Regardless of how TN status is obtained, the scholar may not begin/continue working for NYU until the TN petition has been approved by USCIS or until s/he enters the U.S. in TN status. The TN may be granted for an initial period of up to three years, and this status may be extended in three-year increments, renewable indefinitely.
Spouses and children (unmarried children under the age of 21) who are accompanying or following to join NAFTA Professionals (TN visa holders) may receive a TD visa. Applicants must demonstrate a bona fide spousal or parent-child relationship to the principal TN visa holder. Dependents do not have to be citizens of Mexico or Canada. Spouses and children cannot work while in the U.S. They are permitted to study.

Breaking up is hard to do. It's even harder in the age of the Internet and social media. Many former spouses, partners, boyfriends and girlfriends now seek digital revenge.
This could be done by posting fake messages on the ex's social media, or even posting intimate photos and messages for everyone to see. Some people go to great lengths to destroy their ex's reputation.
It doesn't help that people leave themselves wide open for attack. A recent survey conducted by online security firm McAfee revealed that more than 50 percent of people share account passwords with their partner. Plus, 1 in 3 surveyed saw nothing wrong with sending their partner racy images.
Here's why that's a spectacularly bad idea: The survey also found that 28 percent of people who have sent intimate photos or videos have regretted doing so. One in 10 say an ex has threatened to post racy images online. Also, 84 percent have had to change passwords after breakups.
Protect yourself
What can you do to protect yourself when it looks like you're headed for a breakup?
First, change the passwords for all your social networking accounts. If your ex knows those and gets in first, he or she can change your passwords and block you out.
A vengeful ex could then start posting nasty things under your profile. Cleaning it up isn't easy.
Go to http://bit.ly/1UbbU for a tip on how to stop this.
Once the breakup is official, you probably won't want to see your ex popping up all over your Facebook and Twitter feeds, or to give them the opportunity to post on your profile.
Go into your accounts and block the ex. Here's how to make sure your Facebook privacy controls are set the way you want, www.facebook.com/help/325807937506242/.
If your ex knows the passwords for any of your email or financial accounts, be sure to reset those, too! You probably should anyway, as partners often know more than you think.
New email, passwords
It might be best to start fresh with a new email account at Gmail or Yahoo! Those email providers make it easy to transfer your address book and update all your friends and family members.
Set a new password or PIN code for your computers and gadgets.
Go to https://www.lookout.com/ for the top security apps for your smartphone and tablet.
Make sure the app includes a tracking feature that allows you to remotely wipe information if either is stolen.
Remember to create strong passwords. That means avoiding using words and numbers that you used during the relationship.
If you need help thinking up tough passwords that are easy to remember, go to http://bit.ly/b1aIqD.
Delete and transfer
Delete any revealing photos, intimate text messages and email from your computer and gadgets.
If you share a computer with your partner, transfer your personal photos, music and important project files to an external hard drive or a private cloud-based storage account.
Then, follow these steps at http://bit.ly/12JDiyU to permanently erase it from the machine.
Taking these steps will help secure your privacy and personal information.
Racy photos
Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do if you have sent your ex racy photos or steamy texts. Once you hit the send button on an email or text, it's out of your hands and out of your control.
A private video or photo shared with even one other person by a vengeful ex can quickly spin out of control and be seen by thousands in a few hours.
Once it's out there, you can't take it back.
It's always in the best interest of both parties, for security and emotional reasons, to end things amicably.
When the next Mr. or Ms. Right comes along, keep your passwords to yourself. Sharing passwords has nothing to do with trust or commitment.
Any loving relationship can survive a few meaningful boundaries.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
By Lisa Loomis
Volunteers cleared the debris and augured post holes for a new heifer barn at the Turner dairy farm in Waitsfield this week.
The family's heifer barn collapsed due to snow and high wind conditions during last week's February 14 blizzard, killing five of their dry cows, three of whom were pregnant. There were 21 cows in the barn.
Early on the morning of February 15 when Doug and Sharon Turner's son Joe discovered the collapse, fire fighters, emergency workers and others made their way through over three feet of newly fallen snow to do what they could to help rescue the cows.
Fifteen were saved, one is recovering and the five who died were buried this week when the debris was removed with heavy equipment. Community organizers, led by the Mad River Valley Localvores, local churches and private individuals have rallied to help the Turners rebuild the barn so their cows (currently boarded in Middlebury and Cabot) can come home.
The collapse of the barn meant more than the loss of a structure to this local dairy farm - which has almost completed the process of converting from conventional to organic dairy farming. The Turners were devastated by the loss of their cows.
"It's not a whole lot different than it is for people with their dogs and cats. We see them and feed them and care for them every day. And unlike cats and dogs, we work with the same families for many generations because they are registered purebreds. We're responsible for all changes in their bloodline. You become quite attached to the animals from whom you make your living," Doug Turner said.
Two bloodlines died out at the Turner farm last weekend when the barn collapsed. Those two 'families' have been around, at the Turner farm, for over 50 years.
"And that makes it harder. It's a catastrophe to come upon your animals crushed and crying out for help and you can't do anything to save them. We're very fortunate that so many were saved. We lost five. But it's hard," he said.
Early on February 15, Turner called 911 who contacted local emergency services personnel. A state snow plow was rerouted, Viens Excavating was called, vet Roy Hadden arrived and people began moving debris, working with chainsaws and freeing the animals.
"It's amazing, really surprising how many animals came out of there. We really were fortunate and we have a lot of things to be thankful for. I owe Roy a thanks; he pitched right in and worked with the animals that made it and the ones that had to be put down. I owe the whole community thanks. It's an extremely humbling experience. To see the community rally around us this way is unbelievable. We really appreciate it," he said.
Doug and Joe Turner stopped what they were doing on Monday when they heard a radio plea on WDEV, requesting help shoveling the roofs of the two 200-foot dairy barns at the Scribner farm in Moretown.
"Joe and I went and shoveled snow for about an hour. That did us a world of good to be helping save some cows rather than dealing with the aftermath here. There was nothing we could do here but pick up the mess, but there, we could do something to help. We slept better after that," he said.
The Scribner barns were shoveled off in time and the threat of collapse is over for that family. That volunteer shoveling effort brought people from every corner of Vermont who volunteered to climb on the barn and take a turn at moving the snow, which the wind had piled up to 7 feet high on one side of the barn.
In the days since the storm, the Turners have learned that their insurance will not cover the estimated $50,000 to $60,000 cost of rebuilding the barn, nor will it cover vet bills for the recovering animals. They will be compensated for the animals they lost (at the conventional versus organic rate) as well as vet bills for those animals that died.
Earlier in the week there was talk that the Vermont legislature was going to earmark and make some portion of a $1.2 million farm aid bill available immediately to farmers, but that has not materialized.
"Those promises of help from the legislature were public grandstanding on the part of some politicians," Turner said.
While the Turners and other Vermont farmers impacted by the storm wait for the wheels of state bureaucracy to turn, volunteers are moving ahead with efforts to rebuild the barn. Local businesses have volunteered work crews and select board member Charlie Hosford is heading up the rebuilding effort. Another select board member, Paul Hartshorn, is milling lumber for the barn this week. Local businesses have donated electrical services and another donated the cost of materials for the electrician.
An organizational meeting takes place tonight, February 22, at 7 p.m. at the Three Mountain Cafe. This meeting will enable volunteers to coordinate efforts and make sure that everyone who wants to help can participate. Contact Robin McDermott 496-3567
General Fund Donations: St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church has established a general fund that will be given directly to the Turner family to help with any expenses they incur as a result of this loss. Send checks to St. Dunstan's Church (make checks payable to St. Dunstan's Church), P.O. Box 1133, Waitsfield, VT 05673. Mark checks "Turner Fund." This donation will be tax deductible. Contact Ron Hawk at 496-8803 for information.
Barn Rebuilding Fund: The Center for Whole Communities has set up an escrow account and Charlie Hosford will be managing these funds. Please send checks to The Center for Whole Communities (make checks payable to The Center for Whole Communities - Turner Barn), 700 Bragg Hill Road, Fayston, VT 05673. Mark checks "Turner Barn Fund." Contact Ray Mikulak at 496-3567 for information.
Calf Replacement Fund: The United Church of Christ of Waitsfield and the Warren United Church are collecting donations for calf replacement. You can send donation checks to the Warren United Church (make checks payable to the Warren United Church) at 339 Main Street, Warren, VT 05674 or the United Church of Christ of Waitsfield (make checks payable to the United Church of Christ of Waitsfield) c/o Diana Gauthier, 44 Maple Lane, Waitsfield, VT 05673. Mark checks "Turner Calf Replacement Fund." This donation will be tax deductible. Contact Vince Gauthier at 496-4646 if you have questions.
Donation jars are being placed throughout The Valley and beyond. Donation cans are located at Three Mountain Cafe, Mehuron's, Shaw's, and Appearances Salon along with other locations in the Valley and at the Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier. Donation cans are being coordinated by Julie Pease/St. Dunstan's church. Contact Julie at 496-9686 on how to get the money to the St. Dunstan's donation fund.
Troy Kingsbury at the Village Grocery in Waitsfield is donating 50 cent per every gallon of milk sold to the Turners and he challenges other businesses to do the same.

McGinnis: Mining for Cole: What happened to lead character of 'InFamous'?Written by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
What video games can do better than any other media is provide a sense of what it is like to be something none of us will ever experience. We can dream about what it would feel like to be Michael Jordan the night he made his most famous shot. Thanks to video games, I got a taste of what that moment was like. You and I will never command a battalion of troops in World War II, or drive in the Indy 500 or traverse the magical plains of Middle Earth. But if the creators of modern games do their jobs right, we can get a small inkling of it.
Some of my favorite games are focused on the idea of stepping into the shoes of a superhero. Case in point, the "InFamous" series, created by celebrated developers Sucker Punch, which debuted in 2009. The titles presented a flowering of ideas embodied by earlier games like "Spider-Man 2″: What if you merged the open-world exploration of a "Grand Theft Auto" title with a depiction of a superpowered individual and gave the player free reign to roam the city, using their abilities however they wish?
The result was intoxicating. Charged with incredibly fun electricity-based powers, the player took control of Cole MacGrath, an ordinary bike messenger who becomes transformed into the most powerful entity in a city quarantined from the rest of society. The first game teased players with the idea of choice, giving you the option of whether you wanted to be a hero or villain, though the basic story was much the same.
A sequel followed in 2011, transplanting Cole to a new city and giving him an even bigger threat to face. The final result of the narrative was more dependent on the player's choice, though, with wildly different endings depending on Cole's actions. In the ending chosen by most gamers — not surprisingly, the heroic path — Cole sacrifices himself (and most every superpowered individual in the world) to save the lives of countless millions.
In the years that followed, the question of whether there would be another sequel to "InFamous" was left tantalizingly open, until Sony's press conference last year where its next console — the PlayStation 4 — was officially announced. The first trailer shown by Sony on that day depicted a world where superpowered individuals were heavily outnumbered by a humanity terrified of them, and those with special abilities were hunted by the government. Before one could say, "Hey, that looks like an 'InFamous' game…", the title confirmed it: "InFamous: Second Son."
This was a joyous revelation to those of us who looked forward to once more taking to the skies with the freedom the first two games had given us. Less emphasis was given to a slightly disappointing factor, though: Cole MacGrath, the hero of all previous "InFamous" titles, was staying dead.
Ever since the end of "InFamous 2″'s heroic storyline, with a lightning bolt forming a question mark over his body, the idea that Cole was truly gone for good hadn't really entered into my mind — and, I suspect, the minds of most players out there. This was a series based upon comic books, after all, a medium where "dead" has never truly meant "dead." We presumed that if a new "InFamous" game was created, the developers would find a way to bring back the character.
But as information about the new title began to emerge, representatives of Sucker Punch began saying things like how they wanted to "respect the choice" of gamers who decided to let Cole have a heroic death. This is an interesting if near-sighted perspective — I doubt most gamers who chose the hero's path knew that they were somehow casting a vote for the character to be gone and never return.
More likely, the choice to bring in a new protagonist was focused more on broadening the franchise's appeal. Sucker Punch had already tried this with the transition between the first and second games. Cole was completely revamped for the sequel, with a brand new voice actor, outfit, and even a much younger-looking character model — before early response caused them to tweak the look so it was closer to the original Cole. It seemed like Sucker Punch was more interested in aiming for a younger demographic than really carrying on the story many players had invested in. (No surprise "Second Son's" new hero, Delsin, looks even younger than the revamped Cole.)
The retooling has seemingly worked: Since its release a few weeks ago, "Second Son" has sold faster than any "InFamous" title to date. Its success seems to ensure the franchise will continue, which pleases me greatly. I just hope that next time, Sucker Punch considers the idea of bringing their original hero back to join in the action. Players didn't just become invested in the powers they were able to take control of — they grew attached to the character who wielded them, as well. And no offense to Delsin — a compelling character in his own right — but some of us miss throwing those lightning bolts, and would love to glide along those rails in Cole's shoes one more time.
