Create Product Documentation with Inventor Publisher 201225 Aug, 2011 By: Dominic Cheff
IMAGINiT Tricks Tutorial: Even though you may refuse to read the instructions sometimes, they are important — and the latest release of Publisher includes new tools to help you create them.
Editor's note: This tutorial courtesy of IMAGINiT Technologies.
In our personal lives, almost everything we buy comes with some sort of documentation, whether it's assembly instructions for your kid's latest toy or a manual for a new piece of lawn equipment. And what do we do with that documentation? We ignore it and plow blindly forward, thinking, "I don't need to read the instructions!" Maybe we like the idea of making the task more challenging, or maybe it's just an ego trip that we all need to get out of our system at least once.
After the first bad trip down that ego highway, however, we usually realize that the documentation does matter. Especially after attempting to put that final piece in place and realizing it doesn't fit because something is backward or upside down! Needless to say, the better the documentation, the better the chance for success. In fact, poor documentation can be directly linked to product returns and loss of profits.
As engineering professionals, we want to communicate our designs to others in the best way possible. We create highly detailed 3D models, and seek to leverage that digital design as documentation is created downstream. However, one challenge is that the technical documentation departments are often disconnected from the engineering data. Typically, the documentation is constructed from disconnected illustrations or digital photos that can become outdated quickly if design changes take place.
Autodesk Inventor Publisher 2012
Autodesk Inventor Publisher is technical communications software that can help you tackle this challenge and get more benefits out of your 3D models. It can be used by anyone that needs to create documentation to explain and differentiate ideas, designs, and products.
Publisher enables users to leverage designs across the entire organization, creating appropriate documentation for the technical documentation department, field representatives, customers, or executives. The documentation can begin early in the design process, because Inventor models used in Publisher are dynamic and associative; as updates happen in the design cycle, they are realized with an update in Inventor Publisher.
Support system. Publisher 2012 features the ability to import one or several models into a single documentation project. That includes direct integration into third-party 2D and 3D files such as CATIA, IGES, Parasolid, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, and UGS. After working directly with 2D or 3D CAD data to create animated assembly instructions, operating procedures, or repair instructions, users can publish their materials to formats such as Microsoft Word, PDF, PowerPoint, AVI, Flash, various image formats, DWF, and vector.
Materials can also be published to mobile devices such as iPhones, Android phones, and iPads. I recently did just that to share an entertainment center modification idea with an associate in a local do-it-yourself store. I found it very helpful to have the video of how I built the entertainment center, as well as the dimensions, in a portable format.
Snapshots and storyboards. Within the Publisher environment, you can control how your documentation is laid out with snapshots and storyboards. Think of these as the foundation for capturing and controlling all you're editing, whether it is adding dimensions, placing a detail view of a subcomponent off to the side, or adding a parts list. Each snapshot is placed in the storyboard; you can have multiple storyboards with each publication, and you can link snapshots together or maintain them individually. You can also control the timing, description, transition, and order of the snapshots within a storyboard.
Publisher 2012 allows users to set the Publish area for each snapshot or the entire document, which takes the mystery out of whether the image will fit into the final document.
Dimensions. Another addition to Publisher 2012 is the ability to add dimensions (which are associated to Inventor models, so they can be updated as the model changes). The dimensions can also be placed on any plane necessary, including snapshots of models that are in an isometric view. Once dimensions are placed, the dimension's plane or just about any other attribute — including precision and text overrides — can be adjusted.
Connect with Word. With Publisher 2012, we now have a way to link our Publisher project directly into Microsoft Word with the Publisher Add-in. You can use any custom template within Microsoft Word to create your documentation, and it is easier than ever to manage the native Inventor Publisher file as well. With the add-in you can link the Inventor Publisher file to the Word document, insert snapshots with the browser, and update the model as the design evolves.
Include a list. The visual parts list in Publisher 2012 allows you to add a parts list into your document. The list can be placed in any snapshot, and can be resized, positioned, and customized to suit the needs of the project. You can change the fields to display, create custom fields, show only selected items, and choose to include balloon callouts or create your own custom callouts.
Adding the Preview column to the parts list generates a thumbnail of the components in the list. Many properties of the preview thumbnail can be controlled, such as the size, the default view of the image, the background of the preview, and the rendering style.
Leverage blocks. If you have acquired a library of AutoCAD blocks over the years, you can easily insert these in Inventor Publisher and use them just as you would an image file.
Section planes. One of my favorite enhancements in 2012 is the ability to create section views. Detailed section views are fundamental to explaining how something works or seeing the internal workings of a machine in the context of the overall picture.
The section views can be adjusted in many ways, and creating them is dynamic as well. As you select the plane that you want to use, you can move and rotate it until you have the desired section. You can create and modify full and three-quarter section views, flip the section views, add multiple planes, and more. The section views can also have hatch patterns assigned and customized with ease by using the handy marking menu or going to the toolbar. You can control which components are part of the section to create the perfect picture to include in your documentation.

The University of North Florida's College of Education and Human Services, in collaboration with the Division of Student Affairs, will hold a dedication ceremony for a new two-story addition at 11 a.m. Friday, March 2, at the College of Education and Human Services, Building 57.
"The University is especially grateful to Sen. John Thrasher for his leadership in securing the funding from the state to construct this facility that houses four of our programs," said UNF President John Delaney. "I'm so proud that UNF is a compassionate campus, one that gives our students the resources they need to be successful."
The structure comprises nearly 16,000 gross square feet and cost approximately $5.6 million to construct. The facility
houses four University units, including the Disability Resource Center (DRC), Military and Veterans Resource Center (MVRC), On Campus Transition (OCT) Program and the Institute for Values, Community and Leadership.
"We are extremely excited about the addition to our facility. The new offices complement the original construction, and the closeness of the Student Affairs units to our faculty and students provides excellent opportunities for collaboration," said Dr. Larry Daniel, dean of the College of Education and Human Services at UNF.
The Disability Resource Center is housed on the first floor, which is 8,234 gross square feet, and includes a state-of-the-art assistive technology lab, library, testing facilities and staff offices. The DRC began offering services in 1990, currently serving nearly 800 UNF students with diagnosed disabilities, ranging from learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD and physical or medical disabilities to psychological/emotional disabilities, blindness/deafness and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The second floor of the structure, which is 7,757 gross square feet, is home to the
On Campus Transition Program, Military and Veterans Resource Center as well as the
Institute for Values, Community and Leadership. The space includes administrative offices, counseling rooms, a small reference library and group activity rooms.
The OCT Program, among only eight programs of its kind around the state, began in the fall of 2006 and currently serves 25 students with intellectual disabilities. The program is a complete partnership with The Arc Jacksonville, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with development/intellectual disabilities become physically, mentally, socially and economically independent. UNF's OCT students can remain in the program for a maximum of four years, selecting two-year or four-year tracks that mirror options provided to most college students.
The University, named a "Military Friendly School" for the past three consecutive years by
G.I. Jobs magazine,
began offering support services and programs to the military student population in November 2009 and opened the MVRC in August of 2010. The Center assists more than 1,000 UNF veteran and active military students with the often overwhelming admission, enrollment and financial aid processes, providing a supportive environment for this student population to achieve academic and life success.
The Institute for Values, Community and Leadership, which was established with a new focus over a year ago, gives graduates in today's competitive job market a way to set themselves apart from their peers, helping them to get noticed by potential employers or graduate schools. That extra edge or "add-on dimension" at UNF is the Leadership Certificate. Currently, there are 400 students enrolled in the Leadership Certificate Program.
The College of Education and Human Services addition has followed UNF's other new buildings on campus as a "green" building, meaning it uses energy-saving measures, recycled materials and natural light to improve the work environment. Baker Barrios Architects in Orlando designed the facility and PPI was the construction management firm for the project.

Success at hitting requires the mastery of two opponents. The first opponent, the pitcher, is ever-changing. It is a variable that presents one of the most severe limitations of the evaluative abilities of even the most advanced statistics. A home run off of Chris Volstad counts the same as a home run off of Tim Lincecum. There are some ways to measure performance against pitchers of varying strength, which we will look at in a future blog post. For the most part, though, any of the standard measures we use to quantify overall success fail to accurately reflect how a batter might perform in a specific situation against a specific pitcher. This holds true for all statistics, from basic unit tabulations like home runs to ratios like on base percentage to complex approximations like WAR. For instance, all of those numbers say that Ryan Howard should be at a heavy disadvantage against a left-handed starter like Johan Santana, yet Howard is 8-for-25 with four home runs, two walks and five strikeouts against the former Cy Young winner. Those same numbers suggest Howard should hold a heavy advantage against a righthander like Tim Redding, yet Redding has held the first base man to three hits and three walks with 11 strikeouts in 28 career at-bats. From a statistical perspective, these sample sizes are too small to hold much of a predictive value. But Major League Baseball does not take sample size into consideration when it doles out championship rings. Four plate appearances against Chris Carpenter is a small sample size. Seven innings against Edwin Jackson is a small sample size. A Best-of-Five series is a small sample size. In the end, the only thing that matters is the result.
We have issued the disclaimer approximately 948 times, but we will issue it again: you can't make definitive personnel judgments based on a five-game postseason series. At the same time, the Phillies have reached a point where their fans are no longer satisfied with the results yielded by a 162-game sample. Losing three straight years to the eventual world champions, which they are three Cardinals wins away from accomplishing, reveals just how close this organization is -- or was -- to matching the accomplishments of some of the greatest dynasties in the history of the National League. It also reveals just how thin of a membrane separates success from disappointment.
Which brings us to the second opponent a hitter much master to accomplish his goal. It is an opponent that is far more constant than the pitcher who happens to be standing on the mound. In fact, it is the most constant opponent in the universe. Because it is the universe. Or, at least, it is the set of physical laws that govern the universe. Much has been made of the Phillies' age this offseason. Over the past week, many respected baseball minds have chimed in with the observation that the Phillies "need to get younger." But a few minutes of rational thought reveals the sheer illogic of this statement. If the inconsistency that plagued the Phillies' line-up could be rectified through youth, Ruben Amaro Jr. would be on the phone today swinging deals for Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift and that guy who every day plays catch with his dead brother.
Saying that the Phillies need to get younger is like saying Congress needs to get busier. The House is not going to start churning out bi-partisan legislation simply because we replace John Boehner with Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and Nancy Pelosi with the pill-popping mother from Requiem for a Dream. All we would get is a narcisistic man yelling at the top of his lungs and a hopped up woman living in a paranoid dream world. In other words, we would get cable news.
Replacing the old with the young to perform a certain task only makes sense if the young can perform the task better than the old. The Phillies are not trying to lower the premium on their life insurance bill. They are trying to reach the World Series, and one of the ways they can improve their odds is by fielding a lineup that can use a cylindrical wooden object to make productive contact with a fast-moving sphere on any given night in any given situation against any given pitcher. We're talking physics. One of the biggest reasons the Cardinals were able to qualify for the playoffs was their offseason decision to fill an outfield vacancy with a 35-year-old veteran who had not played the position since 2007 and was coming off the worst offensive season of his career.
The point isn't that St. Louis out-smarted the Phillies. The point is that the Phillies should not and, given their track record, probably will not allow age to be the deciding factor in any of their offseason decisions. Their problem was not that the line-up had too many older players. The problem was that the line-up had too many older players with similar skill sets.
Four of the first five hitters in the order are extreme pull hitters from the left side of the plate. Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley - all pull hitters. As Raul Ibanez has aged, he has progressively increased his pull tendency. I constructed a spread sheet based on data from Baseball-Reference.com, and the results jibe with everything you saw on the field. No team in the National League pulled the ball to the right side more than the Phillies did this season. More than a third of the balls that their left-handed hitters put into play went to the right third of the field. The league average was 29 percent. The Phillies checked in at 33.7 percent. The four teams that came closest to them were the Cubs, Braves, Nationals and Pirates.
Ryan Howard pulled the ball 42.8 percent of the time. Jimmy Rollins did it 40.5 percent of the time when batting left-handed. Chase Utley did it 33.9 percent of the time. Shane Victorino did it 32.6 percent of the time as a lefty. Throw Raul Ibanez into the mix: he pulled the ball 33.4 percent of the time. Any time one of those hitters stepped to the plate, an opposing defense could figure that there was at least a 1-in-3 chance that the ball was going to the right side of the field. Not only that, they could figure that odds were better than even that the ball would be in the air. For every ground ball the Phillies hit, they hit 1.4 fly balls. Their .82 groundball-to-flyball ratio ranked 12th in the league. The Cardinals, who scored the most runs in the NL, ranked first with .96 ratio.
We are not suggesting that the higher a teams groundball ratio, the more runs they will score. Same goes for pull rate. In 2007, when they posted their highest single-season run total since before integration, the Phillies ranked 14th in the NL with a .71 groundball rate and pulled the ball to right field more frequently than all but two teams. The Phillies have been a flyball hitting team since the emergence of this current crop of hitters. They had the lowest GB ratio in Larry Bowa's last season as manager and they had the lowest GB ratio in Charlie Manuel's first season as manager. They have finished in the bottom half of the NL in each of the last eight seasons.
That is the way this line-up has always been built, and for a long time it worked. They are heavy on left-handed hitters who drive fly balls to right field.
Those who have watched this offense closely over the last five years know that it has always been plagued by maddening droughts. Why have they always been feast-or-famine? Why do they all seem to struggle against the same type of pitcher? Well, because they are all the same type of hitter (to varying degrees, of course).
The problem is that while the Phillies are hitting fly balls to right field at their usual rate, those fly balls are not traveling as far as they once did. From 2006-09, the Phillies finished in the top three in the NL in home run/flyball ratio. In 2009, 9.7 percent of their fly balls left the ballpark, the best mark in the league. But in 2010, they slipped to eighth with a rate of 7.5 percent. This year, they finished 10th at 7.1 percent. It doesn't take a beautiful mind to figure it out: if the number of fly balls remains constant, and the number of flyballs leaving the park drops, then chances are the team is making more outs. Over the last two years, that's exactly what has happened.
In 2007, their lefties hit .438 with an .818 slugging percentage to the pull side, which ranked first and second in the NL. In 2011, they hit .335 with with a .611 slugging percentage to the pull side. The NL ranks? 15th and 12th.
Either the Phillies do not have the capability to play as they once did, or they are not playing up to their capabilities. Either way, they have seen their on base percentage and slugging percentage drop, which means they are making more outs (reaching base less often means making outs more often) while accumulating fewer bases when they don't make outs.
You can argue that a lot of this has to do with personnel changes. They became more left-handed when they replaced Pat Burrell with Raul Ibanez, who hit for power this season but not much else during the final year of his three-year deal. Jayson Werth was a player who posted high on base and slugging percentages during his time with the Phillies. He was essentially replaced by four months of Ben Francisco and Domonic Brown and two months of Hunter Pence. Chase Utley was replaced for two months by Michael Martinez, Wilson Valdez and Pete Orr. Placido Polanco battled injuries and was replaced by those same players.
In 2008, Burrell and Werth provided two different skill sets for opposing managers and pitchers to deal with. In the 2008 and 2009 postseasons, the Phillies were aided greatly by the production they got out of Carlos Ruiz's deft bat-handling ability.
This year, Ruiz struggled in the postseason, as did Polanco. Along with Pence, those three players represented the diversity in the lineup. The Phillies lost.
Still, Ruben Amaro Jr. said he thinks the Phillies can re-invent themselves. He downplayed the notion that the team was hurt by a lack of offensive depth. He said this is still a championship-caliber line-up if it plays the right way.
His private opinion is probably a bit different, but putting the onus on the players who are already earning big money from the club makes a lot of sense.
How might they respond? Victorino has steadily improved over the last three seasons. His left-handed stroke carried them for a good chunk of the regular season. But to break into the realm of elite hitters, he must improve his consistency against righthanders. Despite his impressive power numbers from the left side this season, the Phillies still envision him as a guy whose best production will come if he focuses on the whole field and hitting to reach base instead of driving the ball to the right third.
For Rollins to improve, he will have to swing as he rarely has. His on base percentage and batting average were both right around his career averages, so he was not responsible for the drop off. But if he focuses more on hitting to reach base instead of hitting for extra bases, maybe he can bolster both of those numbers.
Still, the Phillies can live with their current levels of production out of two premium defensive positions. What they can't live with -- at least not without a healthy influx of new talent -- is the levels of production they received from their two highest-paid hitters this season. Those hitters, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, also happen to be the players who Charlie Manuel has always seemed to regard with a What You See is What You Get attitude. Utley hits three. Howard hits fourth. Utley gets on base. Howard drives in runs and hits home runs.
Maybe Manuel can work with Howard and get the big guy to improve his plate discipline, to settle for a pitch he can serve into left-center instead of a pitch he can drive to right. But Utley already has the mindset of reaching base at any cost. And it isn't a stretch to think that he can turn himself from a player who looks to either walk or drive a ball to a player who looks at a hit as a way to reach base.
Compare Utley's spray chart to the one produced by Andre Ethier, another sweet-swinging left-handed hitter whose power dropped this season.
While most of Ethier's power still went to his pull side, note the number of hits that dropped into left field and center field as well as right. Also, note the disparity between fly ball outs to deep right field. According to these charts, which were produced by TexasLeaguers.com using MLB's PITCHf/x hit location data, Utley had a lot more deep outs to his pull side than Ethier. Although Ethier finished with a career-low 11 home runs and .421 slugging percentage, he still matched his career numbers with a .292 batting average and .368 on base percentage.
Of course, if it was that easy, the Phillies already would have transformed their lineup. Amaro's past actions suggest he will look for new personnel who fit the mold he is looking for. He started by signing Polanco and continued by trading for Pence. Both are guys who hit for average and use the entire field. While the Phillies say they are going to give the right-handed pull-hitting John Mayberry Jr. every opportunity to earn a regular job, you can bet they will be scouring the left field market for a professional hitter. They could also look to upgrade at third base, where Aramis Ramirez fits the mold they are looking for. It would also help to convince veteran utility men like Jamey Carroll and Jerry Hairston Jr. to sign on as a part-time player. It could be difficult to guarantee the requisite number of at-bats, but the Phillies clearly could have used an infielder with a better offensive repetoire than either Wilson Valdez or Michael Martinez offered.
Ramirez is entering his mid-30's. Carroll and Hairston are both in their late 30's. Maybe the Phillies think a guy like Wilson Betemit's hitting capabilities outweight his subpar defense. But one thing is clear: production is production at any age. The Phillies definitely need more young talent for the long run. But they are being judged by their fans on the here and now.

The pictures say it all, Twitter for BlackBerry definitely came out on top in my search of Twitter for BlackBerry vs HootSuite. I don't mean to say that HootSuite is all bad or that T4BB is perfect, but for now, this is how the results will stand.
The main things that I concluded on were this: while Twitter for BlackBerry has some major glitches in terms of retrieving tweets and keeping them updated after a refresh, all of the major components of the application are extremely easy to access. On the other hand with HootSuite, I've yet to determine where to go to even refresh my Twitter feed. This is a huge flaw for myself. I had to tweet "@BlackBerryOS Rocks!!!", wait a few minutes and restart the app numerous times before it even showed up on my Twitter feed so that I could get to the BlackBerry OS Twitter page. I don't know whether I'm just completely missing it, or my phone was simply acting up every time I attempted use of HootSuite, but I always ended back on Twitter for BlackBerry to meet my Twitter needs. One good thing I do like about HootSuite is that it allows you to combined Twitter, Foursquare, Facebook and LinkedIn all in one app. However, on the other hand, I found that loading different feeds, checking in on Foursquare, a lot of what I would use the app for, were extremely slow even when I had full bars on 4G. As for Foursquare, a Check-In seems to takes forever and finding where I'm at wasn't accurate. While I didn't extensively test out any but Twitter except to see how the initial feeds worked, having all four in one app is one bonus. I really love saving app space on my phone.
My conclusion is this: Twitter for BlackBerry wins this [Twitter] battle, hands down. In my honest opinion, HootSuite will be unable to compete until they really step up how the application can be used. A Twitter app that doesn't even let me refresh, see my followers or who I'm following is not the app for me.

Melges 20 European Championship Starts In Šibenik
11 July 2017
Šibenik, Croatia (July 11, 2017) - The Melges 20 World League is on the verge of its ninth global event (out of 16 sanctioned, worldwide) spanning three continents (Asia, Europe and North America).
Fresh on the heels of a very successful Sail Newport Regatta (championed by Drew Freides' PACIFIC YANKEE, also current Melges 20 World League North American Division leader), all attention turns to the 2017 Melges 20 European Championship hosted in stunning Šibenik, Croatia.
Starting on Wednesday, July 12 and running through Saturday, July 15, the European Championship will award more Melges 20 World League points to a very lucky winner.
All bets are on a field of competitors that is excited to be racing on the gorgeous Adriatic waters of Šibenik, however there are a select few teams that have had the opportunity to taste what the Croatian breezes have to offer. Familiar faces are widespread in Sibenik for the European Championship, a stage known for hosting great international sailboat racing events.
The fight for the European crown and the power struggle that accompanies such a position is about to begin. Thus far, there has been three different winners at each stage in 2017 — the Russian Vladimir Prosikhin aboard NIKA (Porto Venere), Achille Onorato's MASCALZONE LATINO JR. (Scarlino) and Alexander Ezhkov's PIROGOVO (Zadar). However, not one of these teams is seated at the helm of the 2017 Melges 20 World League Ranking. Instead, Igor Rytov sailing RUSSIAN BOGATYRS is in control and ready to defend his position.
The Melges 20 World League fleet, after the excellent organization in Zadar, returns as a guest of D-Marin and its high quality standards of excellence at D-Marin Mandalina.
Thirty-eight teams, representing thirteen nations will compete for the European Championship title starting on Wednesday at 13:30.
The Melges 20 World League European Division is supported by Helly Hansen, Garmin Marine, Toremar, Lavazza and Barracuda Communication.
As with other Melges 20 events around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Melges 20 Facebook Page. Be sure to also follow the fleet on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Tune in for the latest racing information, results, video interviews and photos at melges20.com.

Londonderry girls basketball coach Fagula earns 600th winBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 19. 2013 11:49PM
John Fagula reached another milestone Tuesday night, capturing his 600th career coaching victory in girls' basketball.
"I've been around for 31 years so I guess longevity has something to do with it, but honestly it doesn't feel like 31 years," said Fagula following Londonderry's 77-24 Division I win against Timberlane in Plaistow. Casey Evans scored 19 points to lead the way for the Lancers, 13-4 in Division I.
It's funny to note Fagula's first love was really baseball and he tried to break into the head coaching ranks in Nashua.
"I ended up being the assistant (baseball) coach under (the late) Charlie Mellen for 15 years and I was probably was the oldest serving assistant coach at the time," said Fagula. "When I realized Charlie wasn't going anywhere, I drifted over to girls' basketball and never looked back."
Fagula led Nashua to 11 NHIAA state championship seasons in 20 years and, after taking off four seasons, has spent the last 11 seasons in Londonderry.
In 1986 USA Today selected his 1986 team as the No. 1 girls' basketball high school team in the nation.
"That season we only attempted one three-point shot the whole season," said Fagula with a laugh. "Today that's not the case. Girls today are looking for that shot and that's OK, too."?Fagula said winning 600 games means a coach has to average close to 20 wins a season.
"My first team in Nashua was 4-16," he said. "I'm happy to say when I was at Nashua, we always looked to schedule games against national powers around the Christmas holiday or during weeks when we had some open dates. I truly believe to this day that playing solid teams benefitted our girls and allowed some of them to play at good schools on the college level.
"The 600 wins for the most part, I can say, were not against cupcake teams. That's something I'm proud about, that we earned them against good teams for the most part."
Fagula says he won't be on the sideline to attain his 700th win.
"That's would be about five or six more seasons and I don't anticipate I'll be around that much longer," he said. "I'll finish this season, look to come back next season and see what lies ahead after that. But I'm still enjoying it and I enjoy teaching the girls. They have all been wonderful."
Fagula joked that time has a way of telling you when to leave.
"It doesn't feel like 31 years, it really doesn't," sais Fagula. "But around Christmas time when I'm getting cards from people I coached in the 70's and 80's who already have kids in high school or beyond, that's when I start to realize I've been around for a long time."
Fagula also found time to coach varsity football at Nashua in 1989 after the late Ken Parady stepped down from his post.
"We won some games that year," laughed Fagula. "But it was a long year coaching football and girls' basketball back-to-back. I enjoyed it, but I would have never lasted 31 years doing both back-to-back."
Fagula started coaching the Nashua girls when he was 30 years old. "That's old to start a career in coaching, but thankfully I've been able to last 31 years and enjoy many great moments along the way."

West Ham defender Guy Demel has confirmed his retirement from international football with Ivory Coast.
The West Ham right-back has called time on his spell with Sabri Lamouchi's side after playing 35 times in a career spanning eight years and included appearances at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups.
|West Ham are 20/1 with Paddy Power to finish in the top six this season
Demel admits he now wants to focus solely on his club commitments with the Hammers in the Premier League after missing the majority of their promotion campaign with injury.
"I have decided to quit international football and it was not an easy decision for me," Demel told Sky Sports.
"I have enjoyed playing for my country and going to the 2006 and 2010 World Cup and my country means a great deal to me.
"I wish Ivory Coast success in the future and I hope they do well at the Africa Cup of Nations.
"However, I am now 31 and it feel it is the right to quit so that I can concentrate on West Ham.
"Last season I was injured a lot and I want to prepare and make sure I perform for West Ham in the Premier League."

Woods won't dominate golf again, says Faldo
Tiger Woods' chances of surpassing Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major titles were ruined by his extra-marital affairs, according to British golfing great Nick Faldo.
Woods, 37, appeared to be closing in on Nicklaus' mark after winning 14 majors but he is yet to prevail at a major championship since revelations about his private life emerged nearly three years ago.
The American took a four-month break from the sport after admitting to the affairs, but he has failed to recapture his early-career form since making his return.
Asked about Woods' chances of catching up with Nicklaus, Faldo said: "I think it's slim. "I would lean towards no.
"It has been four years since he last won at the US Open."
Faldo, who won six major titles, believes the harm inflicted upon Woods' game in the aftermath of the scandal may prove irreparable.
"(The revelations) have done more damage than people would give them credit for," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"People thought he would deal with it and then get back on the golf course.
"It's wrecked that wonderful tranquillity you get of going to a golf course, tipping out a bag of balls, and hitting them from nine to five and just thinking of golf.
"When you're a golfer, that is great. But now, he has shattered that peace. He won't get that back.
"Once you lose that concentration and that ability to become completely engrossed in your golf… then slowly things have changed for him.
"His swing… physically, technically, mentally, karma… it's a harder climb right now. Sure, he could come back and do things, but he won't be dominant like he was."
In the last 18 months, Rory McIlroy has emerged as the new shining light in world golf and Faldo believes the 23-year-old Northern Irishman is well placed to assume Woods' mantle.
"I have been very impressed with Rory. He is a special kid," Faldo said.
"There has only been Jack (Nicklaus), Seve (Ballesteros) and Tiger who have won two majors before they were 25, and now there's Rory.

Thank you for your interest in Yale Athletics. Please use this site as a resource for information regarding your future participation in Yale Athletics. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Yale Compliance Office.
Initial Eligibility/NCAA Eligibility Center
All freshman student-athletes must be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center. Certification has two parts, academic and amateurism. Prospective student-athletes can register with the NCAA Eligibility Center at any time. Following his/her junior year, a prospective student-athlete should have a transcript sent to the Eligibility Center and all test scores should be sent using code 9999. Beginning on April 1 prior to enrollment, prospective student-athletes may request final amateurism certification.
For more information on the NCAA Eligibility Center, specific requirements, and registration information, please visit the NCAA Eligibility Center.
Visiting Campus
We welcome you to visit Yale's campus at any time. Prior to his/her senior year, a prospective student-athlete may visit Yale's campus at his/her own expense at any time, with the exception of recruiting dead periods. We invite you to contact our coaching staffs prior to your visit. Also, please note that there are restrictions on when coaches may begin to make telephone calls to prospective student-athletes. However, you may call our coaches at your own expense at any time.
Retaining amateur status is required for participation in varsity athletics. Ivy League regulations require that a student-athlete be an amateur in all sports in order to compete in any sport. This differs from the NCAA regulations that only require a student-athlete to maintain amateur status in the sport(s) in which he/she competes. If you have any questions regarding your amateurism status, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sports wagering is a very serious issue and can lead to the permanent loss of intercollegiate eligibility. A student-athlete will become ineligible if he/she:
- Provides information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities concerning intercollegiate athletics competition;
- Solicits a bet on any intercollegiate team;
- Accepts a bet on any team representing the institution;
- Solicits or accepts a bet on any intercollegiate competition for any item (e.g., cash, shirt, dinner) that has tangible value;
- Participates in any gambling activity that involves intercollegiate or professional athletics, through a bookmaker, parlay card, or any other method employed by organized gambling.

The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (CME:SPZ13) rose following its first three-day slump since September, while gasoline and oil (NYMEX:CLF14) rallied and gold (COMEX:GCZ13) and silver slid. Emerging market stocks fell as a gauge of Chinese manufacturing missed estimates and the Federal Reserve said it may reduce stimulus.
The S&P 500 added 0.8% as of 3:01 p.m. in New York, rebounding from a 0.9% slide in the previous three sessions. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index sank 1.4% and Brazil's real lost 1.5% versus the dollar to lead emerging market currencies lower. Ten-year Treasury yields reversed gains after rising to the highest since September while rates on German and British bonds jumped. Oil jumped the most in seven weeks and gasoline climbed to a two-month high, while gold futures reached the lowest price since July.
U.S. stocks rebounded after sliding yesterday when minutes from the Fed's last meeting showed policy makers expected ongoing improvement in the labor market to "warrant trimming the pace of purchases in coming months." U.S. reports today showed jobless claims slid more than forecast, while a gauge of manufacturing in the Philadelphia area trailed estimates. China's manufacturing fell for the first time in four months, and the Bank of Japan left policy unchanged.
"After three consecutive negative days it's reasonable to expect a breather," Lawrence Creatura, a Rochester, New York- based fund manager at Federated Investors Inc., which oversees about $364 billion, said in a phone interview. "There is some good news in the labor report too in that it does indicate a degree of improvement in the labor market."
Record, Retreat
The S&P 500 fell in the previous three sessions after reaching its latest record Nov. 15. The benchmark index is up more than 25% in 2013, poised for its best yearly gain in a decade. The index traded at 17 times its companies' reported earnings at the last record, the highest valuation in more than three years.
Stocks have rallied this year, extending the S&P 500's gain from its bear-market low in 2009 to 165%, amid growth in earnings and unprecedented monetary stimulus from the Fed. The Senate Banking Committee today voted 14-8 to approve Janet Yellen as the next chairman of the Fed, sending the nomination to the full Senate for approval.
Among U.S. stocks moving today, Johnson Controls Inc., the largest U.S. auto-parts maker, rallied as much as 7.6% to a record $51.90 a share after saying it will increase a stock- repurchase program by $3 billion and raise its dividend by 16% due to confidence in its outlook for fiscal 2014 and beyond.

Archive was faster (BACKSPLASH, TOILET WATER)
Oct 27, 2008
Dr. Hello,
I have read almost all the archive, and among all what I had ready there are two or three posts that I really admired. In fact, they do not just answer my questions, but it has explained to me a lot of things that I did not know. I urge everyone to read the archive before posting their questions. Actually I have been asking you for 15 days now, and did not get a single reply, whilst after having read the archive, I noticed that you had already replied to all my questions, and you have the full right to neglect my already answered questions.
Here below are the posts and extracts that reply my questions
should point out that by taking time to reassure you once again, someone else's question will have to go unanswered. You shouldn't be apologizing to me, but rather to the poor guy who won't even get his first question answered, because you couldn't accept the very obvious link between "nonexistent risk" and "No way. No how." Please note there is only one of me and gazillions of "yous." Rather than wondering how I keep my patience while continuing to receive numerous requests for me to merely repeat myself, I would ask that you and other chronic posters consider becoming just a bit more reasonable, OK?
Please I beg your pardon.
Now you can either continue to read the below or just end this post at this stage. But in any case please let me know.
Dr. I am not playing the smart, but I really appreciate (all though that all the posts I have read, made it clear for me that I am not at risk) if you can really answer the below two questions just so that I can proof to my wife that I am not at risk, who is really rejecting me.
Question Number 1:
that has come into my mind after being at the Lab for a blood test. i have to admit that i have OCD and mianly for what is called HIV, so i am not sure if my question could be related to My theoratical exposure but out of curiosity if i may ask: during a blood test or blood drawing usually you have the Needle, the Platic Holder and the tube as tools. i know that the Vacuum Tubes and Needles should be sterilzed and New, but what about the plastic Holder?!?!?!?. i am much concerned that probably the lab technician during the blood test has used an old (used) plastic holder. what if such holder had blood on i from the previous patient?!?!? i know that the needle is covere from the side where it goes though the plastic holder, but what if little blood goes out from the hole that the needle makes while pricking the tube? if the blood was dry, will that cause a risk? is it normal that Lab uses same plastic holder each time? is it that costly to have a new one evrytime or to sterilize them?
finally please Doctor, is my exposure considered risky?
Question Nb2:
yesterday, i arrived home and rush to the toilet. while doing "it", i had a splash back water landing onto my butt (sorry for using such words but my english is not very good). it did not reach my penis nor my annus, but while wiping it, it may have got there. my fear is that the cleaning lady was at my house 4 or 5 hours before that incident, and i am not sure if she had used the bathroom and was in her period. Say, she was HIV+, had her period and used the bathroom, and i had a flash-back on my mucous skin will that cause infection? i know that my chances are so little that i should not think of, but i was wondering if HIV can live in toilet bowel for 4 or 5 hours, especially that we use cubes in the toilet as detergent but i am not sure if that would dilute the virus if existed, since the cube was almost melted, and the flush was not working well however, the water inside seemed to be clean . Hum, the cleaning lady is of 50 old, so I am not sure if she is on menopause, or perimenopause which that would increase the chance of her being in her period.
Dr. i beg you respond this time.
Thanks. in advance, and i still owe a donation for your organization, but please bear with me.
many thanks.
Response from Dr. Frascino
I'm delighted you read the archives and found the information and reassurance you needed. Hopefully others will do the same.
Regarding your specific questions:
1. There is no risk of contracting HIV from getting blood drawn. Period. The plastic holder does not come into contact with blood. "Universal precautions" have been in place for years to protect health care workers from being infected by patients and vice versa. I've discussed this many times in the archives. Are you sure you've read "almost all the archives?"
2. Another "backsplash" question? Now I'm really questioning your claim that you read the archives at all. I'll post below only a small sampling of questions from the archives that address this QTND (question that never dies). Your HIV risk is nonexistent for both of your worries.

Hiv transmission or paranoia Dec 9, 2007
I have been so paranoid with hiv in the last three years that it has really changed my life for the worst. I had unprotected sex three years ago which started this whole thing and went threw several tests and they all came back negative. I am now in a serious relationship with my boyfriend and we have unprotected sex only with each other and we were both tested before we starting doing anything. I'm really scared because of an incident that happened to me today at work, I was using the restroom and doing a number 2 and I felt a drop or two of water hit my left butt cheek when I left the washroom I starting thinking some crazy things again! my question is what if there was infected hiv blood in the toilet and when I was wiping myself could it be possible that I could transfer that blood onto the toilet paper and into my anus? I get to nervous with this topic and I always think I have it when these little things happen and I wish I could stop worrying about this because it really affects my day to day living if you know of anything I can do to help me with this obsession I would really appreciate it thanks. I would also love to donate some money as well if you could please let me know how I could do it.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Your HIV risk from the backsplash of your "number 2" droppings with or without wiping is completely nonexistent. I've covered this topic numerous times before. Check the archives! The only way you can contract HIV in a public restroom is to have unsafe sex with an HIV-positive person in the stall, OK?
Donation information for The Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation can be found on the foundation's Web site, www.concertedeffort.org.
As for your recurrent unwarranted and completely irrational fear, I would recommend you try psychological counseling. Ask your general medical doctor for a referral. Irrational fears be they HIV, flying, spiders, snakes or ever having a president as bad as Dubya again are incredibly common. Appropriate counseling can help you confront and conquer these irrational anxieties.
Dr. Bob
Checked the archive--Question almost answered, but not quite Apr 12, 2005
Dear Dr. Bob,
First off, I'd like to thank you for the suggestion to check the archive before asking: just reading others' questions has allowed me to put my own fears into greater perspective. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
However, I would still like to present my question and scenario.
While making a long drive across the country, I stopped at a fast food joint for some food and a break. I also desperately needed the restroom (I know you're groaning right now . . . sorry). Anyways, I practically ran in, opened the first stall, urinated with great force from a squat (I know, I know, but when I don't have the option or time to assess the seat, I sometimes do it), but then noticed that the toilet I had used was FULL of menstrual blood (seriously, it was prodigious). Apparently it had been lurking at the bottom, probably settled underneath some toilet paper, and my recent activity had stirred it up again.
Anyways, I don't think I was the victim of "splash-back," but what if I had been? All the other questions about toilet menstrual blood in this forum seem to be about material on the seat, not free-flowing blood mixed with toilet water. What if I had defecated and received a splash right back into my anus?
I know many women worry about this question, and as much as you hear that public restrooms are of no risk, women encounter blood within them fairly frequently (much more so than most men imagine). I thought I had convinced myself that I was unlikely to contract anything in a restroom (squatting notwithstanding), but then this happened and made me question that assumption.
Please help (donation pending),
Public Toilet Troubled
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Public Toilet Troubled,
Another QTND (Question That Never Dies)!
OK, one more time, here we go . . . . You can not get HIV form a public toilet (with or without menstrual blood in the toilet, with or without backsplash ugh!), unless, of course, you have unsafe sex with an HIV positive person while in the stall, OK?
Thank you for your donation! Now "flush" those unwarranted worries away! Oh, and please don't write back and tell me you are also still worried about mosquitoes too. OK?
Dr. Bob
USA, you should be proud of doctor Robert Frascino and follow his example. a man of honour. Apr 8, 2006
Doctor robert:
I want to tell you that you are an inspiration for all the people in the world with AIDS. You chose your path and instead of being selfish and turn only to you, you chose to help the others, you are truly an example to follow. Sorry for my English I write you from Barcelona,spain, I am a school teacher but I always tell my students about importance of preventing AIDS and the importance of helping the others and give a little bit of what we have received from god.
I read your posts all the days. I also organized a brigade of my students and I take them every 15 days to help in a clinic in which they have AIDS patients and other terminal patients but most of them have AIDS:
They often ask me questions about transmission and they are sometimes concerned about the contact they have with the patients, because sometimes they cry on their shoulders, sometimes they have to hug them, I always tell them that casual contact is not a way of transmission as you say in all of your posts. They ask me a lot and I always answer according to your responses from this web page. I only want to say that in one point I do not know what to answer them and the responses I have seen in the site do not explain why the answers are in that sense: they often ask me their concern about going to the bathroom in the clinic in which we help, they say and I have red it that, feces contain AIDS, and also I know that terminal patients defecate with blood in their feces.
What my students often ask me is what if they have cuts on their back parts of their body ( near the anus or thebutt (sorry I do not know how to say it in a formal way jaja), or what if they have hemorrhoids that bleed every time they go to the bathroom ( not so rare due to the lowest amount of fibers consumed in spain) and in the cases described a splash with some blood or feces (which will not be rare) comes in direct contact with blood of my students. I always tell them not to worry because you always say in your posts that there is absolutely no risk in contracting AIDS in public bathrooms, expect having unprotected sex in bathrooms (that s what I say to them) but I don t know why you cannot be infected via the situations that I described ( I am myself not very convinced that you cannot get AIDS by sharing a bathroom with an infected person.) I also saw a post written in 1997 and anwered by Mr krull in which a women asks if you can get aids by getting a direct splash in a bathroom where a previous women left some blood from her period and Mr krull answered that if blood and blood comes in a direct contact anything is possible. However he told the women that there is no case registered of getting AIDS that way.
So to summarize all of the foregoing mentioned I only want to know why you cannot get AIDS by the situations I describe previously to be able to explain my students ( as you say that you cannot get AIDS by using public bathroom), and also does AIDS survive well in the water?, like I said for example in a public bathroom. (I know it does not survive well in the air). I also want to thank you for the time you are taking from reading this questions and I want to say to you that I am organizing a fund raising and will donate part of it to your cause. I promise you that because I am one of your biggest fans, they way you treat your forum with humor and your patience to answer questions is admirable, I admire you a lot.
José. Barcelona, spain.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hola José from Barcelona,
Thank you for your kind comments.
To answer your question, HIV does not live very long at all outside the body, whether in air, water or public toilets. If an HIV+ patient did have blood in his/her feces, it would instantly be diluted in the toilet bowl and also not survive outside the body. Consequently the chance of getting fresh HIV-infected blood into a freshly bleeding wound via backsplash or whatever would be so remote as to be essentially nonexistent. We have been closely monitoring the HIV/AIDS pandemic for 25 years and there has never been a case of HIV transmission via this route.
It's certainly appropriate to advise your students to avoid contact with infected bodily fluids (blood, semen, cervical secretions, etc.), but they should not be concerned about using the restroom, even if they get backsplashed and have a hemorrhoid or whatever. Also, you can remind them there is no risk from some fluids, such as sweat and tears. You can find a wealth of information on how HIV is and is not transmitted on this Web site and its related links. Perhaps printing out some of this material for your kids might help. I'm delighted you have taken the initiative to organize these volunteer trips to the clinic. The lessons your students are learning there are invaluable. You and your students are to be commended and have my heartfelt thanks for demonstrating compassion to those in need.
Dr. Bob

Magic Johnson Combats AIDS Misperceptions
December 1, 2006
Adapted from:
At a World AIDS Day briefing in Los Angeles today, basketball great Magic Johnson will launch a $60 million campaign aimed at cutting HIV/AIDS rates among African Americans by 50 percent in the next five years.
Through a partnership with drug maker Abbott Laboratories, the "I Stand with Magic" initiative will hold HIV testing drives in 10-13 cities each year; sponsor education and marketing drives; support grassroots advocacy programs; and provide scholarships for doctors who staff HIV/AIDS programs in the black community.
Fifteen years ago, Johnson announced he was HIV-positive and would retire from basketball. He has remained in relatively good health, for which he credits his daily multi-drug cocktail and, possibly, the conditioning that came from playing up to 100 NBA games a year. Johnson is a national spokesperson on HIV, urging young people to practice safe sex and reminding them "[HIV] can happen to anyone, even me, Magic Johnson."
Ironically, however, many people interpret Johnson's healthy appearance as a sign he has cleared the virus. Mysisha Patterson, national health coordinator for NAACP, said Thursday, "Just last night, I did a seminar with a group of high school girls. I had them write down three things they knew about HIV/AIDS. Somebody wrote, 'There's a cure for AIDS. Look at Magic Johnson.'"
"You can't take that attitude that you're going to be like Magic," said Johnson. "The virus acts different in all of us. There's no certainty that if you get [HIV], you're going to be OK."
At the time of his announcement in 1991, CDC reported one-third of all AIDS cases were African Americans. Blacks now account for nearly half of all new HIV diagnoses, and for the last six years, HIV/AIDS has been the leading cause of death for African Americans ages 25-44.

Some councilors still undecided on Jasper moving to agriculture nominationBy DAVE SOLOMON
State House Bureau
November 18. 2017 11:30PM
CONCORD — House Speaker Shawn Jasper made the best case he could for his confirmation as commissioner of agriculture in a four-hour public hearing before the Executive Council on Friday, but only one councilor was ready to pledge his support for Jasper after all was said and done.
That doesn't necessarily mean Jasper won't be confirmed when the council votes on Wednesday at its regularly scheduled meeting. Councilor Russell Prescott, R-Kingston, was unequivocal in his support.
"I've decided to vote for Shawn Jasper as commissioner of agriculture," he said after the hearing.
Democratic councilors Andru Volinsky of Concord and Chris Pappas of Manchester would not commit, but spoke highly of Jasper and commended his performance at the hearing.
"I'll be following up with the speaker prior to our meeting on Wednesday," said Pappas. "I think he has a good head on his shoulders. He understands the industry; he understands the lay of the land; and I was very encouraged by his testimony today and his responses to our questions."
Volinsky said he would not support a delay in making the appointment to allow Jasper to continue as speaker at least until the spring of 2018, when most of the business for the current session will be wrapped up.
"I'd say there were a couple of issues that came up that are of concern, but there are also ways in which the speaker acquitted himself well," said Volinsky. "I am not supportive of the five or six month delay some of the others raised. We need to make this decision and it needs to be executed in due course."
Republican councilors Joe Kenney of Union and David Wheeler of Milford could be the hold-outs. Kenney suggested delaying any appointment until the House adjourns at the end of May.
Wheeler, whose family runs a 65-acre Christmas tree farm and maple sugar operation in Milford, asked the most detailed questions and expressed his disappointment in some of the answers afterward.
"I was a little disappointed in his lack of knowledge about micro-farms. His testimony focused on big dairy farms," said Wheeler. "Nor did he appear to have a lot of knowledge about the problems that face agriculture. I'm still undecided, and am going to have to chew on this one a little while."
What some thought was a shoo-in has turned into a bit of a cliffhanger, as Jasper and all the candidates who would replace him as speaker anxiously await the outcome of Wednesday's vote.
All five councilors expressed concern about Jasper's credentials in agriculture, the process by which Gov. Chris Sununu brought the nomination forward, and the extent to which the Executive Council has been marginalized in the process.
In September, incumbent Agriculture Commissioner Lorraine Merrill announced her decision to retire when her current term expires at the end of the year.
A month later Sununu announced his intention to nominate Jasper for the position, bypassing the traditional process of awaiting a list of nominees from the Agricultural Advisory Board.
The board eventually provided Sununu with a list of names that included Jasper, and the governor formally nominated the speaker on Nov. 8, leading to Wednesday's confirmation hearings.
It all seemed a bit rushed and pre-ordained to a council accustomed to being consulted on major commissioner appointments prior to public disclosure.
The fact that Jasper made his farewell speech to the House of Representatives before he was confirmed did not sit well, even with his most ardent supporter.
"It was an awkward situation, saying farewell with your fingers crossed behind your back," said Prescott.
Jasper has said previously that if he is not confirmed, he plans to continue as speaker until his term expires at the end of next year. That would make all the effort expended in the past two months by contenders for the job a monumental waste of time.
All the people who spoke at the hearing supported Jasper's nomination, including incumbent commissioner Merrill, current and past state representatives, Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, UNH faculty in the farming and cooperative extension programs, and active farmers.
Jasper comes from a long line of poultry farmers in the Hudson area, and has been a faculty adviser to the UNH agricultural program fraternity for years, but has been a legislator, not a farmer, for much of his adult life.

Remote Access Tools and Tips for Solo and Small Firm Lawyers
Remote Access Tools and Tips for Solo and Small Firm Lawyers
Many lawyers today are road warriors. If their entire office is not on their laptop, a good chunk of it is—and the rest is accessible through remote-access tools. In The 2009 Solo and Small Firm Legal Technology Guide: Critical Decisions Made Simple , the authors offer advice on how you, too, can stay in touch with the office from afar.
Some lawyers have discarded workstations entirely, using only their laptops and a docking station at the office. Others have both a workstation and a laptop. The popularity of laptops has zoomed to a point where the lawyer without a laptop is a relative rarity. Our new mobile lawyers are now equipped with technologies that allow them to be as productive when on the road as they are in the office, minimizing downtime and keeping those billable hours up! There is a strong expectation by many clients and colleagues that lawyers will be constantly accessible wherever they may be (even, sadly, on vacation). So how do you stay in touch with the office from afar?
Virtual-Private Networking (VPN) A VPN connection is a secure communications network tunneled through another network, such as the Internet. The VPN connection allows network users to connect to their office when working remotely. The communications tunnel allows the data traffic between the remote user and the office network to be encrypted, to maintain the security of the information as it is passed back and forth. This is extremely important for law firms when their lawyers are working on client files while away from the office. Best of all, the VPN service software is included with Microsoft's server operating systems and the VPN client software is included with Microsoft 2000, XP and Vista operating systems.
The typical lawyer is likely to be dumbfounded when confronted with setting up a VPN, so this is best left to your IT consultant. However, it is not terribly expensive and it offers terrific security for your data. The greatest advantage of VPNs is that they are multiuser, whereas other options are one-on-one solutions.
GoToMyPC GoToMyPC is a remote connection service that allows you to connect to your work computer when you are away from the office. This service is a great alternative if you're a solo practitioner or if your law firm can't set up a VPN-type connection for remote users (if you don't have a server). Like a VPN connection, data communications between the client and the host are encrypted and secured. To connect to your work computer, software must be installed and running on the host machine (the computer you wish to connect to) and both the client and the host computers must have Internet access. The GoToMyPC Web site maintains contact with the host computer so the host's IP address is always known. This is critical—the solution works even if the host's computer has a dynamic Internet connection that will not remain constant. No configuration to the company firewall will need to be made to get GoToMyPC up and running.
GoToMyPC costs about $180 per year for one computer license and will need to be renewed yearly. There is no limitation on how often you may connect to your host computer, and you are not limited regarding from which client machine you have to connect. The software requires little setup and configuration and can be purchased online from GoToMyPC at www.gotomypc.com. This software is more costly than its competitors, so check out all of your

available options before selecting which remote-access solution to purchase.
LogMeIn LogMeIn Pro is a remote access solution that is very similar to GoToMyPC. The software works the same way, with the service provider maintaining the IP addresses of host computers. This is a good solution for those firms with dynamic IP addresses. The service allows you to gain seamless and total access to your office PC from any computer with an Internet connection. To connect, users log into the LogMeIn Web site and the connection to their host computer is made automatically. Some of the features include remote printing, the ability to transfer fi les between the connected computers and the ability to map network drives to your local computer. Just like GoToMyPC, this service is extremely secure, using 128-to-256 bit SSL end-to-end encryption. When compared to GoToMyPC, this remote-access solution costs much less. LogMeIn Pro costs $69.95 per year for one computer license, and the service subscription will need to be renewed annually. This software can be purchased online from LogMeIn's Web site at www.logmein.com. We strongly recommend the use of this product for remote accessibility.
Symantec pcAnywhere Symantec pcAnywhere version 12.1 is similar to GoToMyPC, with one exception. When using pcAnywhere, you must know the host's IP address or host name in order to connect to the host computer. There is not a central database or Web site that monitors and maintains the host computer's current address. Symantec pcAnywhere works in scenarios where the host computer maintains a static IP address and will not work when the IP address is dynamically assigned. The software has many configuration options and can be set up to use encryption, file sharing and remote printing. pcAnywhere requires more setup and configuration than GoToMyPC does, and will require an administrator to set up port forwarding through the host's network router so the client's communications can reach the destination host computer.
A license for Symantec pcAnywhere can be purchased from Symantec's site at www.symantec.com/norton/symantec-pcanywhere or from your local electronic retail store for about $200. This software is a one-time purchase, not a yearly subscription, although it may need to be upgraded as updates to the software are released. The major disadvantages to using pcAnywhere are the cost, the requirement for a static IP address and the need to install software on both ends of the communication stream. This means you won't be able to connect from the Internet café in Jamaica since you probably didn't bring your pcAnywhere CD.

STEVENSON, Md., May 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee on behalf of purchasers of Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Provectus" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT:PVCT) publicly traded securities during the period between December 17, 2013 and May 22, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"), and informs investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation that they have until July 28, 2014 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
If you have suffered a loss from investment in Provectus securities purchased on or after December 17, 2013 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period, as described below, and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html. You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at email@example.com or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.
No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than July 28, 2014 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Company units during the Class Period.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants' failure to disclose during the Class Period the true prospects for PV-10 and that new skin cancer drugs being developed may have rendered PV-10 obsolete.
According to the complaint, following an article published on TheStreet.com on January 23, 2014 suggesting that PV-10 may be obsolete and another article appearing on SeekingAlpha.com on May 21, 2014 asserting that the Company was tied to a stock promotion company whose other stock recommendations had recently had trading in their stock halted by the SEC, the shares of Provectus declined significantly in value and then stopped trading.
Attorneys at Brower Piven have extensive experience in litigating securities and other class action cases and have been advocating for the rights of shareholders since the 1980s. If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.
