Craft Brewer Couple Master Art and Science of Entrepreneurship

Craft Brewer Couple  Master Art and Science of Entrepreneurship

Twenty-three years ago, Kelly and Garry Brown’s wedding toast was made with a different drink than traditional champagne: Garry’s home-brewed beer. Although Kelly was a flight attendant and Garry was a newspaper photographer, their passion for craft beer inspired them to start the first brewpub in the Capital Region a few years later.

“We bought an old, dilapidated building in Troy in 1990 because it was a great location on the Hudson River and it was affordable. We spent the next three years renovating it. Garry would work on the building during the day and then work nights at the paper. I continued working for the airline and we were able to use my miles towards research trips to the West Coast and Europe to see how beer could really taste,” said Kelly.

The startup went through a few name evolutions, opening as Brown and Moran, changing to Uncle Sam Pub & Brewery the next year and finally changing to Brown’s Brewing Company in 2006. The Browns wanted to open just a brewery but realized that the concept was too new to succeed in the local marketplace without food. Opening a brewpub with a full scale menu including nachos, wings, burgers and sandwiches was the right choice, customers came in the doors, giving the Browns the chance to build their brand and beer reputation.

The Browns haven’t stopped making beer since and today loyal Capital Region patrons count on their ‘Dependable’ ales and lagers.  Brown’s Brewing Company’s 25 beers range from traditional Pale Ale to earthy Pumpkin Ale, available only when locally grown pumpkins are ripe in the fall. At the company’s Taproom, customers can enjoy a dozen or so different beers on tap made right below the floorboards. The two-level interior has a traditional bar, stage for musical performances, and a windowed view into the brewing operations where brewers create Brown’s award-winning beers. Outside, the large deck area and beer garden offer an expansive view of the Hudson River.

“We discovered that Troy has wonderful water quality which has really helped our brand. All of the hand-crafted beers are made with water from the Tomhannock Reservoir, and we decided to give back. Garry serves on the Rensselaer Land Trust board that works to preserve watersheds in the region. Our company does several fundraisers for RLT such as an annual Oktoberfest event.  We also donate a portion of proceeds from our Tomhannock Pilsner sales to the Trust,” explains Kelly.

Innovative marketing ideas have helped Brown’s Brewing Company ride the rising tide of awareness and appreciation for craft beers. The large beer corporations have noted the increasing popularity of craft beer as their brands lose market share, and often purchase small breweries or repackaging existing beer lines to look more homespun and less commercial. Customers might not know independent looking beers brands such as Blue Moon, Batch 19, and Shock Top are really owned by Coors, Miller, and Budweiser. To separate their beers from the crowd, Brown’s Brewing holds “Beer 101” classes to demonstrate what the big beer companies actually make beer with, including surprising ingredients such as corn, rice, and corn syrup, compared to Brown’s traditional craft beers made with just hops, yeast, barley and water.

The Taproom’s beer-paired wild game dinners and other special beer-themed events became so popular the Browns moved into the building next door to add catering and large event capability. Named Revolution Hall, the European-style beer hall setting can accommodate up to 300 guests for weddings, private parties and community events. The Browns added a prep kitchen in the second building to provide more kitchen space for catered events in the hall. The couple has developed the pub and catering menus to reflect the top-quality of the beers and ales; hiring Culinary Institute of America (CIA) Chef Luca Brunelle has broadened the fare to include gourmet flavors ranging from burgers with cherry raspberry ale barbeque sauce to pan-seared sesame tuna with wasabi risotto.

“Over the past six or seven years, we’ve doubled sales at the pub alone. With experience, we’ve learned how to put better controls in place for our 125 employees. At our Troy operation, our general manager, Paul Minbiole, is also a CIA-trained chef and having someone who knows the line well has been invaluable to making the restaurant side of the business function smoothly,” says Garry.

The growing company made enough beer to keep up with demand at the Taproom, but operating only one brewing tank limited their ability for regular distribution to retailers. Kelly and Garry realized the time was right to find a larger production facility. Staying in Rensselaer County was important to the Browns and in 2011 they found the right property at a 19th century empty hydroelectric power plant in their hometown of Hoosick Falls. The 40,000-square foot building complex has plenty of space for four brewing tanks, a large bottling assembly line, and even a tasting room for the public in the future.

Garry and Kelly scoured online listings nationwide for used equipment from other breweries to keep costs down, saving $4 million on the project. The Browns were able to support most of the expansion costs, and the final piece of their financing puzzle was an SBA 504 loan through Pioneer Bank and the Empire State Certified Development Corporation. Beer production will increase to 20,000 barrels of beer per year from 3,200; the dramatic increase will enable Brown’s to increase distribution from the Albany area to southern Vermont and western Massachusetts.  Brown’s head brewer Peter Martin and a team of 10 will work at the Hoosick Falls operation, with more anticipated employees when the tasting room is opened.

As any business owner learns the hard way, the sailing isn’t always smooth. In 2011 Hurricane Irene hit the Northeast, causing flooding in both the Brown’s riverfront locations. Though 30 miles apart, the Taproom is directly on the Hudson River and the production facility is next to the Walloomsac River.

Garry recounts the tale: “During the hurricane, the Walloomsac River rose and came into the new building, with two-and-a-half feet of water coursing through the downstairs level. We had a crane come in and move all the equipment we purchased to higher ground. Then we realized that all the water in the Walloomsac was heading right for Troy because it feeds into the Hudson River. The next day there was seven feet of water in our Troy location. Fortunately, with the help of our employees and customers we were able to have the Taproom brewery and restaurant back up and running just seven days later.”

The recovery from the hurricane demonstrated to the Browns how vital the new production facility was for their business. Renovating the property over the past three years has been a labor of love for both Garry and Kelly, and though they have built a successful business from the ground up, neither is ready to hit cruise control. The large-scale brewery operation represents a dream fulfilled for two newlyweds 20 years in the making and they are passionate about the future for the company.

Twenty years later, the couple lives with their three daughters on their farm house in West Hoosick where they farm some of their own hops. Kelly sums up their entrepreneurial experience: “We had our light bulb moment. It’s a calling. To be your own boss and do your own thing is so empowering. It thrills me when I see one of our six-packs on a store shelf or someone orders a Brown’s beer at the table next to us.”

Dynamode MX-878 Gaming Headset with Microphone USB is rated 3.2 out of 5 by 6.
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Audio cuts off below a certain volume I have been using these for less than 10 minutes, and I can't help but feel disappointed, the value is great, only bought these as a temp because the charging port on my Corsair Vengeance 2100s broke. The big issue is that when the volume reaches a certain low, the audio cuts off completely meaning while doing anything that requires me to listen I get very annoying cut offs with the audio. While it is still workable I find it very frustrating that I only catch half a conversation unless I put my volume to near deafening levels, I won't be returning them as I am not bothered over eleven odd Pounds but I will be buying a high end set as soon as possible, also I don't think that these have a place being called "Mid end"

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Cannot recommend Bought one of these to as I was after a good value headset. Couldn't have been more disappointed. The sound quality was terrible as there was a constant electronic static coming through the earpieces, other players on Teamspeak also reported the same noise through the microphone. I don't know if I've got a small head, but the fit was terrible with only the upper half of the earcups even touching. If you've got a large head and don't mind having a constant beeping hiss coming through your ears and microphone and want to spend as little as possible, then great! If you don't, then spend some extra money and buy a decent brand like Plantronics or Logitech. I returned the product to the store today and spent some extra money buying the Thermaltake Shock Gaming Headset (LN40598). Not had chance to try them out yet, but the build quality and packaging are far superior at least.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great.... If it works My company bought 2 of these to try them out and they were great, the sound was suprisingly good for the price and the microphone, albeit a little crackly was largely quite good, we needed them so staff could work from home in bad weather/poor health etc so we didnt want to spend out on the expensive ones we use inside the office so we went ahead and bought 30 of them, the first 4 that came out the box didnt work, the next 5 did and then the next 3 were broken (ranging from only one 'ear' working, to sound being crackled or distorted or the Mic not working. Basically, if it works, theyre great. I actually still use one of the original 2 we bought, however the other 30 have been returned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bargain Excellent headset for a bargain price, performs better than I expected. Well pleased with the purchase.
Date published: 2013-10-27
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good product but channels reversed This headset is very comfortable to wear and the headphones eliminate most of the ambient sound. I am using this on a Linux Ubuntu 12.04 system and I had to download an update from the PPA (Personal Package Archive) to get the system to recognise them: (ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa) In a terminal window run; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa Then; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y You can then select them in the sound section of system settings. The microphone is quite sensitive and does not need the input volume cranking up to get a decent level. The only downside is that the channels seem to be reversed and as yet, I have not found a solution to this. For my own purposes, this is unimportant but some might find it irritating. Overall I am please with this product.

NCCAS is awarded National Endowment for the Arts grant

July 3, 2013

National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Acting Chairman Joan Shigekawa has announced that the State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education, on behalf of the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS), is one of 817 nonprofit organizations nationwide to receive an NEA Art Works grant. NCCAS has been awarded a $30,000 grant to support the convening of a national Artist Advisory Council at the August 1-5 meeting of the NCCAS writing teams and leadership.

The recommended NEA grants total $26.3 million and span thirteen artistic disciplines and fields. Applications were reviewed by panels of outside experts convened by NEA staff, and each project was judged on its artistic merit.

Acting Chairman Shigekawa said, “The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support these exciting and diverse arts projects that will take place throughout the United States. Whether it is through a focus on education, engagement, or innovation, these projects all contribute to vibrant communities and memorable opportunities for the public to engage with the arts.”

NCCAS, a coalition of eight national arts and education organizations and media arts representatives, is writing the new, voluntary arts standards in dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts scheduled for release in 2014. The theatre standards are being created by representatives from the Educational Theatre Association and the American Alliance for Theatre and Education. Artists representing each of the five arts disciplines will attend the August meeting, serving in an advisory capacity for the writing teams.

EdTA Executive Director Julie Woffington called the NEA grant a strong affirmation of the new arts education standards’ value. “As an NCCAS leadership organization, EdTA has worked hard to reach out to our members and others in the theatre education community to ensure there is buy-in to these new standards. Funding from a public granting agency like the Endowment validates their worth in a broader national arts and education context.”

Woffington also said she is proud that EdTA has secured a commitment from playwright Jim Leonard, Jr. to serve as theatre’s representative on the project’s Arts Advisory Council. “Leonard is a well-respected playwright and screenwriter whose work is widely produced by schools throughout the country. We’re grateful and thrilled that he has agreed to serve in this capacity.”

Leonard’s plays include Anatomy of Gray, The Diviners, And They Dance Real Slow in Jackson, and Crow and Weasel. He has been awarded three NEA Fellowships, a New York Villager Award, the Midland Writers Award, the Samuel French Best New Play Award, and the Dramatists Guild Award. He co-wrote the screenplay for Mira Nair’s award-winning film My Own Country. Leonard has created and produced several television series including Close to Home (CBS), Skin (Fox), and Thieves (ABC); and he wrote and produced Dexter (Showtime) and The Closer (TNT). He is currently a writer-producer for Major Crimes (TNT). Leonard also serves on the boards of the New Harmony Project and Circle X Theatre.

It is never a good time to come down with tuberculosis, but in recent years the outlook has become worse.

Resistant strains of tuberculosis are on the rise, limiting treatment options despite decades of antibiotic research. In 2010, at least 650,000 cases of the disease were resistant to the two most effective frontline antibiotics, and in 2012, totally resistant and effectively untreatable strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis—the bacterium behind the disease—were detected in India.

Now, two teams of scientists have published large catalogues of the mutations that confer resistance on M. tuberculosis after sequencing the complete genomes of hundreds of samples. Their studies, both published in Nature Genetics, greatly increase our understanding of the ways in which this long-term nemesis evades our most potent drugs. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.)

“The biggest bottleneck to managing drug-resistant tuberculosis is the delay between suspecting it and confirming it,” says epidemiologist Megan Murray at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, who co-led one of the studies. With a more complete list of resistance mutations, physicians could avoid giving patients drugs that will not help them, while quickly prescribing more appropriate treatments.

Resistance map

Murray’s team sequenced 123 strains from a worldwide collection and mapped the sequences on to an evolutionary tree. They then searched for mutations that were independently linked to resistance across different branches. They identified every part of the M. tuberculosis genome that was already linked to resistance, along with 39 new mutations.

The second team, led by Lijun Bi from the Institute of Biophysics in Beijing, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, sequenced 161 samples from Chinese patients and analysed them using a similar method. They identified 84 genes and 32 other regions that were strongly associated with drug resistance.

The two lists have few overlaps, probably because the teams used slightly different methods and studied strains that had evolved resistance from different genetic starting points. “However, the overall message is similar,” says Murray. “A lot more genes are implicated in the development of resistance than we thought, and we don’t really know what they do. There are a lot of ways for the organism to become resistant.”

In the classical view of resistance, M. tuberculosis picks up mutations in enzymes that either activate drugs or are targeted by them. “We’ve been stuck in this mould for too long,” says Robin Warren, a TB specialist from Stellenbosch University in South Africa and a co-author on Murray’s paper. “These new studies show that there’s much greater complexity to resistance than we dreamed of.”

Drug barriers

Many of the resistance regions identified in both studies affect the waxy cell wall that surrounds M. tuberculosis cells. Some change its structure, or alter its permeability. Others influence the production of molecular pumps that evict drugs that get into the cells. And others boost the rate at which M. tuberculosis mutates, allowing it to pick up beneficial mutations more quickly.

The teams also identified mutations that are likely to influence other resistance genes, either boosting their activity or compensating for their detrimental effects, allowing the bacteria to carry them without being outcompeted by drug-sensitive strains.

But many of the regions that the teams identified have unclear roles. “For around half the genes in our list, we have a name but we don’t know what they do,” says Murray. For example, her list includes 16 genes from the PE/PPE family, which are unique to M. tuberculosis and its kin, and whose roles are largely unknown.

William Jacobs, Jr., a tuberculosis specialist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, says that the teams now need to validate their lists. “You’ve got to be able to move the mutation, and show it causes what you think it causes,” he says.

Murray’s group made a start by introducing a mutation in the ponA1 gene into M. tuberculosis, and showing that the microbes could then withstand double the dose of rifampicin. “That’ll need to happen on a much larger scale for all of these genes,” she says.

These latest studies show that M. tuberculosis evolves resistance through several gradual steps with subtle effects. “It probably takes a bunch of these smaller steps to get to high-level resistance,” says Murray. David Alland of Rutgers University, supports this view through a third study, also published in Nature GeneticsHis team sequenced 63 clinical samples of M. tuberculosis that had been exposed to the frontline drug ethambutol. They found mutations in at least four genes that interacted to improve the bacterium’s ability to resist the drug, allowing some strains to shrug off 16-fold higher doses than others.

Understanding these step-wise pathways could help clinicians to monitor strains that are on the verge of evolving high-level resistance, or develop drugs that interfere with that evolution before it really gets going.

"This is a bit of a dream, really, since we are not at the point of developing TB drugs for specific targets. It's rather more hit and miss," says Helen Cox, an epidemiologist at the non-governmental organization Médecins Sans Frontières (also known as Doctors Without Borders), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. But, she adds, "The overarching message is that drug resistance is much more complex than the simple dichotomous 'resistant versus susceptible' understanding."

Summary: A sermon on the sixth saying of our Lord from the cross.

Many horror stories emerged from the countries of Eastern Europe as their Communist dictator¬ships were overthrown. None surpasses the cruelty of former Romanian dic¬tator, Nicolae Ceausescu’s Home for the Deficient and Unsalvagcable.

By Ceausescu’s order, children throughout Romania who were found to have some mental or physical deformity were sent to this home. Any child judged by the state to be less than perfect was taken from his parents and sent to this home to die so that valuable resources would not be "wasted" upon him. No ugliness or imperfection was tolerated.

How thankful we can be that God did not use such a standard with His love and grace. If he had, then none of us could ever know His love. No, He chose to love us all, despite our imperfections.

The One Who was perfect, chose to give Himself for the imperfect, so that we, who are imperfect, might become perfect in Him! Right now, I am imperfect, but one day, because of Jesus, I will be made perfect. Right now, I am unfinished, but one day, because of Jesus, I will be finished! And when God is finished with me, I will be just like Jesus!

B. "Tetelestai" Was A Word Used By Merchants.

To merchants, "Tetelestai," referred to the paying of a debt. If you purchased something, the merchant would take your money and then would give you a receipt of payment. The receipt would say, "Tetelestai - paid in full."

As sinners who were in debt to God for an amount we could never pay, we were in need of someone to pay the debt for us. In Christ, God took it upon Himself to pay for us what we owed to Him, thus making it possible for us, through acceptance of the payment He has made on our behalf to receive a full pardon! No wonder the Bible refers to eternal life as a gift (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)! Because it is a gift, it is free. But also because it is a gift, it must be received.

George Wilson was sentenced to hang after he was convicted of killing a guard while robbing a federal payroll from a train. Public sentiment against capital punishment led to an eventual pardon by President Andrew Jackson. Unbelievably, Wilson refused to accept the pardon. Can you do that? The case became so confusing that the Supreme Court was called on to bring about a ruling. Chief Justice John Marshall delivered the verdict: "A pardon is a parchment whose only value must be determined by the receiver of the pardon. It has no value apart from that which the receiver gives it. George Wilson has refused to accept the pardon. We cannot conceive why he would do so, but he has. Therefore, George Wilson must die."

Consequently, Wilson was hanged. God’s grace becomes a pardon from sin only to those who receive it.

Conclusion: In one sense, the work of redemption is unfinished. God wants to bring the salvation Jesus fully paid for on Calvary to the hearts of individuals, and as long as there is one person who has yet to receive the pardon Jesus died to provide them, the work is unfinished.

Some of you have some unfinished business with God. he has completed His part. You need to bring to completion your part by receiving Christ as personal Savior and Lord.

Chasing Ice

Movie Review

If you’ve been considering renting Roland Emmerich’s 2012 to watch on December 21 and relish the Earth’s fictional devastation, don’t bother. Not only is it a terrible movie, but you can catch a comparably awe-inspiring cataclysm in Jeff Orlowski’s documentary Chasing Ice, and it’s real.

Among the incidents filmed by Orlowski’s crew as they sojourned in arctic regions was the abrupt crumbling of an ice formation the size of lower Manhattan and two or three times higher — counting the skyscrapers.

True, the frigid glacier hosted no human habitation, which gives its self-destruction a bit less poignancy than, say, the demise of Los Angeles while John Cusack is arguing with his ex. But, while this stunning scene may not be an immediate disaster in human terms, it foretells the long string of disasters a climate affected by increasing atmospheric CO2 could unleash — and, in some places, already has. Footage of Tropical Storm Irene’s ravages in Vermont opens Chasing Ice, which profiles photographer James Balog and his quest to record evidence of climate change that no one could ignore or dismiss as scientific groupspeak.

Balog’s solution: pictures. Fascinated by ice, the acclaimed nature photographer had noticed that some of his best subjects seemed to be disappearing. So he formed a team called the Extreme Ice Survey to set up cameras at strategic locations near glaciers in Greenland, Iceland, Alaska and Montana and capture time-lapse footage of their changes over several years. At first, the cameras fell prey to arctic conditions. But once the team figured out the logistics — a process shown in the film — they gathered dramatic evidence that glaciers are melting into our seas with unprecedented speed. The vast majority of these ice masses are not, as some climate-change skeptics assert, creeping back in the winter. They’re gone for good.

None of that will surprise anyone who has seen Balog’s TED talk or the extensive press coverage of his work. As a documentary, Chasing Ice offers most of its likely viewers grim confirmation of what they already know, rather than the thrill of discovery. To add an element of drama, Orlowski sometimes turns the camera on Balog himself, emphasizing the doggedness that keeps him climbing glaciers with a bum knee when he’d rather be with his family. But, driven as he may be, the photographer is just too normal for his obsessiveness to carry the film; this is no Errol Morris or Werner Herzog material.

The real trump card of Chasing Ice is its beauty. Balog calls ice a “limitless universe of forms,” which he proceeds to depict in stills that will take your breath away. Sometimes glaciers just look like dirty snow; sometimes their melt fields and “calving” areas (where chunks break free of the mass) seem to shimmer before us, as unearthly and alluring as anything in a visionary science fiction film.

It’s easy to get mesmerized by the images caught by Balog’s and Orlowski’s cameras, so much so that one almost forgets the point they’re making. What we’re witnessing as this foreign ice world shifts and dissolves could be the inexorable ending of another world — ours.

Kale Imitation

Side Dishes: Trademark attorney rules against Eat More Kale founder

Last week was a roller coaster for “Eat More Kale” T-shirt artist Bo Muller-Moore. First, he discovered that his Kickstarter campaign to fund a documentary film about his legal tangle with fast-food giant Chick-fil-A had raised roughly $90,000, exceeding his goal by $15,000.

Two days later, Muller-Moore learned that his quest to register a trademark had hit a snag: In a preliminary ruling, an attorney with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office determined there was a “likelihood of confusion” between Muller-Moore’s “Eat More Kale” slogan and Chick-fil-A’s “Eat mor Chikin” marketing campaign.

Muller-Moore was stunned by the news but vowed to press his case. “There’s still a lot of fighting to be done,” he says.

After Muller-Moore filed to register his “Eat More Kale” trademark last fall, he received a cease-and-desist letter from Chick-fil-A ordering him to stop production and turn over his website. It was the second time in six years that the Southern fast-food chain had tried to shut him down. This time around, though, Gov. Peter Shumlin stepped in to support Muller-Moore and form an advisory Team Kale. As the story spread, Muller-Moore received tons of press — even an international write-up in the Economist magazine — and thousands of orders for his T-shirts.

The trademark attorney’s letter explains that the office compared the two slogans — “Eat More Kale” and “Eat mor Chikin” — on the basis of “appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression.” Since the two “highly similar marks” are used on clothing, it continued, “consumers are likely to reach the mistaken conclusion that the goods and services are related and originate from a common source.”

“Obviously, I think this is the wrong decision,” says Dan Richardson, Muller-Moore’s attorney, who will assemble evidence to continue pressing Muller-Moore’s trademark request. “We’re going to submit filings to show that there is not, has never been or is likely to ever be any confusion. This has become a galvanizing issue,” Richardson continues. “Bo is not unlike a lot of small businesses out there. What he’s’ getting is essentially the billion-dollar cold shoulder from Chick-fil-A, and I don’t think anyone thinks that’s fair.”

As for Muller-Moore, he doesn’t mince words. “I’ve been selling T-shirts for 11 years. I’ve had thousands of conversations about my T-shirts, and no one had ever brought up this parallel or similarity, with the exception of Chick-fil-A’s lawyers and one federal attorney in the trademark office,” he says. “Who are these people? Do they have any conscience? It’s such a gross misstep of intellectual-property-rights law. I don’t know how the lawyers pursuing it can sleep well at night.”

VK Commodore: slick new glasshouse and fuel-injected six

20 March 2017

The VK range, launched in March 1984, was the first serious rework of the Commodore since its introduction on 26 October 1978. While the VK retained the platform and key dimensions of its three predecessors (VB, VC and VH), its new six-light (the traditional English term for the number of side windows) glasshouse made it look bigger not only on the outside but also from the inside looking out. New front and rear styling, extensively revised interiors, greater differentiation between the flagship variant and the lesser models, and new names completed a major facelift.

Virtually from the day of the huge national media launch organised by the newly appointed director of public affairs, Evan Green, Ford Australia’s marketing gurus cleverly attacked the Commodore by calling it a C-sized (in Ford Speak) car rather than a D-sized offering like the Falcon and Valiant. Quite a nice car, maybe, but a direct rival not for our Falcon but our Cortina. You get the drift.

Ford Australia tried to create the perception – and largely succeeded – that the Commodore was too small to be shopped against the Falcon. The following year Mitsubishi Australia entered this conversation by releasing its Sigma replacement, the locally designed Magna with those extra four inches of width stitched into the middle. The four-cylinder Magna had slightly greater interior width than the six-cylinder (and V8) Commodore. Now, customers, what were those priorities again?

5* Good Straightforward Drive
Reviewed by Anonymous on 17/01/2013
I wanted a no-frills big drive to do a back up of my Linux media server's ZFS filesystem. This drive so far meets the bill.

It comes with a small partition of software with the rest of the space unformatted. Presumably this Windows/Mac software partitions the blank space and installs backup software on your PC.

I put a GPT partition table and a 3TB ext4 filesystem on it and the drive was happy. There are no un-deletable partitions on it so ease of use is 5.

The casing is well built, compact and attractive. This is a huge drive for not too much money so value is 5 too.

As for reliability... only time will tell.

Don't buy this drive if you are looking for something the size and discretion of a portable drive. I don't know whose hands they used but I am 6'5 with hands to match and this drive totally covers my hand! This is a full size 3" desktop drive, thought the minimal casing means that it is no larger than a 3" internal drive with aluminium cladding. Although sleek, the cladding is not flashy, looking merely like a folded aluminium sheet with black plastic ends.
It is fairly quiet - a gentle whooshing most of the time, a bit like central heating! Cleverly any vibration has been minimised by well designed feet at the bottom of the unit. The power supply is at the plug end with a small lead keeping clutter down.
I haven't fully tested the speed, but expect it to be up there with other USB 3 drives.
4* blatantly misleading picture

A good disk with no problems so far (early days yet though). But if you want small, don't look to the picture as a guide as that image of the disk is not to scale with that of the hand. That sort of false advertising is indefensible.

DOES NOT WORK ON WINDOWS 7 - can't see any storage. It is formatted in FAT32 not NTFS and as it has some files already on it. (Sorry I don't understand any more.) You cannot convert it to NTFS, all in all a very old format for a 3TB drive. I am returning mine and going to Maplin! Shame BT did not test it first - we are not all computer wizards. All the other drives I have bought from Maplin have always worked.

Heart Disease Prevention Program Saved Lives, Reduced Costs

Participants in a disease management service had better cholesterol control, fewer hospitalizations

By Stephen Miller Nov 2, 2010

An intensive population management program that matches heart disease patients to personal nurses and clinical pharmacy specialists lowered the risk of death while reducing health care costs, according to a study from insurer Kaiser Permanente Colorado.

The study report, Reduced Health Care Expenditures After Enrollment in a Collaborative Cardiac Care Service, was published in the November 2010 issue of the journal Pharmacotherapy. Researchers examined health care expenditures in two populations of patients with heart disease: 628 people enrolled in the Kaiser Permanente Collaborative Cardiac Care Service (CCCS), a population disease management program, and 628 matched patients receiving standard care.

The study found that patients cared for by the CCCS experienced superior health outcomes. As compared to patients receiving usual care, enrollees in the CCCS had better cholesterol control, were more likely to be screened and adhere to important medications like statins, and had far fewer hospitalizations. Overall, CCCS patients had an 89 percent reduction in overall mortality and 88 percent reduction in cardiac mortality compared with patients receiving standard care.

When the researchers compared costs, they found that health care expenditures for CCCS enrollees were, on average, $60 less each day for an annual average of $21,900 per patient per year.

"These are exciting findings," said the study’s lead author, Tom Delate, Ph.D., of Kaiser Permanente Colorado. “The goal of the CCCS is to get patients with heart disease on the right medications and deliver needed screenings and care, so one might expect to see health care costs go up with the increased service,” he said. “However, we found the opposite effect: The CCCS was able to keep patients so healthy that they were more likely to stay out of the hospital. At the end of the day, expenditures from this major cost driver were reduced.”

The researchers calculated total health care expenditures by reviewing health care utilization claims and electronic health record files. They attributed an overhead cost to the staff and systems used to administer the population management program. The analysis found that enrollees in the CCCS had lower health care expenditures across the board, including the following key areas:

Medications.$4 per day, compared to $5 per day.

Doctor’s office visits.$7 per day, compared to $8 per day.

Hospitalizations.$19 per day, compared to $69 per day.

“This program works because it is a team approach,” added John Merenich, M.D., study co-author and medical director of the Clinical Pharmacy Cardiac Risk Service. “Our teams of nurses and clinical pharmacists, as well as our health information technology, require significant investment. We always knew it was the right investment because it saved lives. Now we know it’s also the right investment because it provides the highest quality care at a lower cost. This is the value people have been looking for in health care.”

How the Program Works

The goal of the CCCS is to help patients with heart disease receive the evidence-based treatment that has been shown to reduce their risk of another event. Key elements of the program include:

The majority of care is delivered over the phone by nurses and clinical pharmacy specialists who work under the direction of a physician.

After a hospital discharge, patients with coronary artery disease are enrolled into a three- to six-month rehabilitation program. Patients are assigned a personal nurse. The nurse works with the patient to implement recommendations for a healthy lifestyle.

When the rehabilitation program is completed,patients are transferred to a personal clinical pharmacy specialist, who manages medications known to decrease the risk of future heart problems.

Electronic medical records and computerized disease registries help the clinicians coordinate the care. For example, the electronic tools notify the clinical pharmacist if a patient forgets to pick up a prescription or a cholesterol test shows that a change in medication is needed. Using this electronic data, clinical pharmacists can outreach to the patient to support them in making necessary changes.

FGCU's Andy Enfield enjoys strange path to sport's pinnacle

Sunday March 24th, 2013

PHILADELPHIA -- As close as he can remember, Andy Enfield fell asleep at a little past 2 a.m. Saturday morning. It may have been much later and in any case it wasn't for long. Perhaps an hour or two. This had been the most significant day of his professional life. (Or rather, the most significant day of his most recent professional life, which is not Enfield's first, and probably will not be his last). The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles team Enfield has coached for the last two seasons beat Georgetown on Friday night, 78-68, just the seventh victory in NCAA tournament history by a No. 15 seed over a No. 2 seed. It was a thorough beating, made closer only by a desperate Hoya rally in the final minutes that never got closer than four points. The Eagles will now play No. 7 seed San Diego State on Sunday and try to become the first 15 seed to win two games and reach the Sweet 16.

Late in the postgame night, Enfield's two-year-old son, Marcum, was in bed with Enfield and his wife, (all together now, former fashion model Amanda, and what a story Enfield told the world yesterday about their courtship) and Marcum was squirming and tossing around, keeping Andy awake. "Wouldn't lie still,'' Enfield said. And we must now think of this as Marcum's Revenge.

Two years ago, FGCU athletic director Ken Kavanaugh hired Enfield, who spent the previous five years as an assistant coach at Florida State, as the second Division I head coach in FGCU history, just as the 20-year-old school became fully eligible to compete in the NCAA tournament as a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference. Enfield was hired on March 31, 2011. In the previous two decades, Enfield had been a career 2,000-point scorer at Johns Hopkins, for six years an assistant coach in the NBA (specializing in player development and shooting), an entrepreneur who shared in the startup of both a successful software company and a basketball consulting business before returning to coaching at Florida State in 2006.

THAMEL: After tragedy, Brett Comer leading FGCU to new heights

Now he had a program of his own, although he was hamstrung by NCAA restrictions that prevented him from hiring assistant coaches until April 17. There was a small core of returning players, most of them unaccomplished. Enfield needed more. Hence, on April 8 of that year, he was in a room at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, talking to Eric McKnight, a freshman at Iowa State University who had just received his formal permission to transfer. Enfield was in a hospital because his wife was about to deliver their third child.

The wife breathed. The coach recruited. "At one point, Amanda said, 'Put the phone down, we're about to have a baby,''' recalled Enfield before his team's practice at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday afternoon.

He stopped. Marcum was born, the couple's third child, after daughters Aila and Lily. Soon after the baby was delivered and transported to the nursery, Enfield fired up his cell phone again. As he recalls it, this time the obstetric nurse was changing his wife's IV when Amanda began questioning his sanity. "Amanda said 'Will you please be quiet? The nurse is trying to change my IV and I can't even hear.' I left the room. And I kept my recruiting call going.'' This time he wandered the hall until he found an empty birthing room, plopped onto the bed and continued talking to McKnight. At one point another nurse walked in and said, "Are you having a baby?''

Enfield shrugged sheepishly at the telling. McKnight, a willowy 6-foot-10 forward from Raleigh, N.C., signed with the Eagles and after sitting out a year, has started 31 games in this historic season. (Told on Saturday about the circumstances of his recruiting call, McKnight said, "Really? He was in the hospital? That makes me feel pretty honored that coach Enfield would do that.'').

It is one story among countless stories surrounding the Eagles, who have hijacked a giant slab of March Madness and made it their own. (Harvard, too, took a mighty piece of the bracket into Saturday's game against Arizona, after shocking New Mexico in the opening round, but imploded against the Wildcats).

There is the story of the school: Florida Gulf Coast University has 13,468 students, which already makes it among the largest universities in the U.S. Yet its recognition among college basketball fans was minimal. On Friday, the school's homepage received 432 percent more views than it had on the previous day, a phenomenon that mirrors the sudden recognition brought to Butler University when the Bulldogs first improbably reached the Final Four in 2010 (and then did it again in 2011). Yet it's not even clear FGCU needs the push; according to a school spokesman, the glistening campus, with its own sprawling lake, is already growing by 800-1,000 students each year. Yet the age of the college and the suddenness of its rise (FGCU began playing in Division I only in 2006-'07), lend an air of shock to everything the Eagles achieve.

There is the story of the coach. Unless one of his peers has a well-kept secret, Enfield is the only startup entrepreneur in the Division I coaching ranks, having co-founded a software contract management company in the health care industry called TractManager in 2000, along with partner Tom Rizk, who had previously been the CEO of a publicly traded company. "My partner is a genius, I can say that for certain,'' Enfield said, yet he is palpably uncomfortable in discussing other aspects of his ongoing association with TractManager, which at one point was valued at more than $100 million. "I retain a part of company, but I'm not involved any way in management,'' Enfield said. He declined to provide the size of his stake, "because it's a private company.''

In 2003, while working in New York both with TractManager and his basketball consulting business (focusing on skills development), Enfield was introduced to Amanda Marcum, an Oklahoma native (and Oklahoma sports fan) with a thriving career as a fashion model. Their first date was arranged by a mutual friend, and Enfield said that upon first seeing Marcum, "As soon as I saw Amanda get in the car, I knew it would be a good trip.'' He took a fashion model to a game at St. John's and ate Taco Bell at the student union beforehand because nothing else was open. "I figured if she still likes me after Taco Bell and a basketball game...'' Enfield said.

They were married in 2004. Two years later, Enfield took his career, and his wife, to Tallahassee. "What a sacrifice she has made to give up ... from flying all over the world to doing fashion shoots to moving to Tallahassee, which is a nice place, but it's not New York and it's not Milan and it's not Sydney and it's not Paris.''

And also, so easily overlooked, there is the story of the players. A collection of the overlooked and forgotten who could never have reasonably expected to be where they stand today. They are the perfect fit for their coach: Miscast or lacking, ideal to benefit from Enfield's background in skills development. (One of his clients had been Alonzo Mourning -- a piece of synergy that will annoy already hurting Georgetown fans -- whom FGCU AD Kavanaugh called to assess Enfield. "Alonzo said Andy was a tremendous young coach,'' Kavanaugh said. "He said he wished that he had met Andy early in his career and he would have been a much better offensive player.'')

In the frantic first April of 2011, Enfield signed not only McKnight, the transfer from Iowa State who was sold on FGCU while Amanda Enfield delivered the couple's son, but also Bernard Thompson, a 6-3 sophomore guard from Conyers, Ga. Thompson met Enfield when Thompson was a freshman in high school and attended a camp in Virginia where Enfield conducted a shooting clinic. Now it was April of Thompson's senior year in high school, and while he said he had scholarship offers from Georgia State and Tennessee State, he hadn't signed. He signed with FGCU, bringing quickness and passion, but horrific shooting technique.

"He was a two-handed shooter,'' Enfield said. "Couldn't make anything."

"I shot with my thumbs,'' Thompson said, and demonstrated while sitting the FGCU locker room by putting his thumbs together and snapping them out, like popping pinball flippers. Enfield fitted the 6-3 Thompson with a device that immobilizes the thumb, which he had used with numerous clients. He made three three-pointers in the win over Georgetown (and retains lethal defensive quickness and anticipatory movement, averaging 2.82 steals per game, fourth in the nation). In that same recruiting class came point guard Brett Comer from Winter Park, Fla., a daring passer who had 10 assists against Georgetown, including half a dozen long lob passes for dunks.

Yet any coach who succeeds in two years' time must draw on the players left behind. Among those Enfield inherited were 6-4 walk-on guard Sherwood Brown (now a senior) and two 6-8 forwards, Chase Fieler (now a junior) and Eddie Murray (now a fifth-year senior). All three of them were present at a withering two-hour morning, offseason practice in the FGCU gym in the spring of 2011. Because of the coaching change, the FGCU players had played little and not at all with supervision for several weeks. Their conditioning had slipped badly.

Enfield's memory of the three veterans:

Fieler: "Chase Fieler was vomiting 20 minutes into the workout.'' (Fieler timidly denies this: "I wasn't actually throwing up,'' he said. "I was trying to throw up, but I didn't eat breakfast, so there wasn't anything to come up.'')

Murray: "Eddie Murray had scored 11 points in the entire previous season. He couldn't catch a pass.'' (Murray: "A lot of guys mentally weren't there. Enfield and his staff came in ready to go.'')

Brown: "Sherwood Brown is an elite athlete, so at least he got through the workout.'' (Damning with faint praise).

Yet the three of them would eventually form the backbone of the team that plays for a berth in the Sweet 16. Fieler is grist for every undersized wannabe awaiting a late growth spurt. His father, Karl, is 6-7 and was a lineman at Ohio University, where his mother also played volleyball. Yet as a freshman at Parkersburg South High School in West Virginia, Fieler was a 5-10 point guard and as a sophomore a 6-0 shooting guard. He grew to 6-5 as a junior and 6-7 as a senior, long after the major recruiting ship had sailed. He visited James Madison and Eastern Kentucky in the rain and cold and FGCU on a sunny, 85-degree day and made a climate choice.

When Enfield inquired as to Fieler's position, he said he was a "catch-and-shoot three.'' Enfield decided otherwise and made Fieler a power forward who runs the floor and was on the receiving end of the rafter-scraping lob dunk from Comer that essentially finished Georgetown on Friday night. "Shot-fake and drive, Euro step around people, jump hook in the lane,'' said Fieler. "Things I hadn't worked on since high school. But they showed me I still had those things.''

Brown walked on at FGCU four years after he said he turned down early-senior year offers at Ball State and Murray State, "because I thought higher offers would come along, and then they didn't, and then Ball State and Murray State were gone by the middle of my senior year.'' Like Fieler, he describes himself as "a catch-and-shoot player with raw talent and not many skills. Coach Enfield taught me about the game.'' He also taught him to find the weight room, where Brown bench presses 300 pounds and was an even match for Georgetown's power guards. "Sherwood Brown and Chase Fieler are two of the most improved players I've ever seen," Enfield said.

Likewise, Murray was encouraged to use his quick hands and feet (and like Fieler, to run the floor and dunk basketballs). "They wanted to use my quickness, because the guys I play against are bigger and stronger,'' Murray said. "They taught me quick rips [hard moves with the ball to the rim] and through moves, and of course, with Coach Enfield, shooting form.''

So it is a moment frozen in time for all of them, two days on the national sports stage. It could end with a loss to San Diego State, which in many ways is a more dangerous matchup than Georgetown, because the Aztecs play faster, more like FGCU. It could last another week, with a trip to Dallas for the Sweet 16. It could last for a decade; Enfield has two solid players sitting out this year who will be eligible next season and recruiting will surely mushroom in the NCAA afterglow. Or Enfield will leave for a bigger job and FGCU will disappear.

All of those answers can wait another day.

You Can Fight Identity Theft

  1. 1. If you disclose sensitive information in a phishing attack, contact one of the three major credit bureaus listed below and discuss whether to place a fraud alert on your file. A fraud alert will help prevent thieves from opening a new account in your name. You can fight identity theft Here’s how: • Never provide personal financial information, including your Social Security number, account numbers or passwords over the phone or the Internet, if you did not initiate the contact. Equifax 800-525-6285 P.O. Box 740250 Atlanta, GA 30374 • Never click on the link provided in an e-mail you think is fraudulent. In addition to stealing your personal information, the link may contain a virus that can contaminate your computer. Experian 888-397-3742 P.O. Box 1017 Allen, TX 75013 • Do not be intimidated by an e-mail or caller who suggests dire consequences if you do not immediately provide or verify financial information. TransUnion 800-680-7289 P.O. Box 6790 Fullerton, CA 92634 You Have the Power to Stop Identity Theft • If you are unsure whether a contact is legitimate, go to the company’s Website by typing in the site address or using a page you have previously book marked, instead of using a link provided by the e-mail. • If you fall victim to identity theft, act immediately to protect yourself. Alert your financial institution. Place fraud alerts on your credit files. Monitor your credit files and account statements closely. • Report suspicious e-mails or calls to the Federal Trade Commission through the Internet at edu/microsites/idtheft/, or by calling 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338). To learn more about keeping your money safe, visit the shtml Website. A message from the federal bank, credit union and thrift regulatory agencies • oard of Governors of the Federal B Reserve System • ederal Deposit Insurance F Corporation • ational Credit Union N Administration • ffice of the Comptroller of the O Currency • Office of Thrift Supervision IdentityTheft_NoLogos.indd 1 12/9/08 12:17:14 PM
  2. 2. You Can Fight Identity Theft Stop identity theft There is a type of identity theft using the Internet called “phishing.” Pronounced “fishing,” that’s exactly what thieves are doing, fishing for your personal financial information. They want your account numbers, passwords, Social Security numbers, and other confidential information so they can use your financial accounts or run up bills on your credit cards. In the worst case, you could find yourself a victim of identity theft. With the sensitive information obtained from a successful phishing scam, these thieves can take out loans or obtain credit cards and even a driver’s license in your name. They can do damage to your financial history and personal reputation that can take years to unravel. But if you understand how phishing works and how to protect yourself, you can help stop this crime. How phishing works Typically, you’ll receive an e-mail that appears to come from a reputable company that you recognize and may do business with, such as your financial institution. In some cases, the e-mail may appear to come from a government agency, perhaps a federal financial institution regulatory agency. The e-mail will probably warn you of a serious problem that requires your immediate attention. It may use phrases such as “Immediate attention required,” or “Please IdentityTheft_NoLogos.indd 2 contact us immediately about your account.” The e-mail may also state that unless you provide certain confidential information your account will be deactivated or closed. The e-mail will encourage you to click a link to go to the institution’s Website. In a phishing scam, you could be redirected to a phony Website that may look exactly like the real thing. Sometimes, in fact, it may be the company’s actual Website. In those cases, a pop-up window will quickly appear for the purpose of collecting your financial information. You may be asked to update your account information or to provide information for verification purposes: your Social Security number, your account number, your password, or the information you use to verify your identity when speaking to your financial institution, such as your mother’s maiden name or your place of birth. If you provide the requested information, you may find yourself a victim of identity theft. How to protect yourself 1. Never provide your personal information in response to an unsolicited request, whether it is over the phone or on the Internet. E-mails and Internet pages created by phishers may look exactly like the real thing. They may even have a fake padlock icon that ordinarily is used to denote a secure site. If you did not initiate the communication, do not provide any information. 2. If you are unsure whether a contact is legitimate, contact the financial institution. You can find phone numbers and Websites on the monthly statements you receive from your financial institution, or you can look up the company in a phone book or on the Internet. The key is that you should be the one to initiate the contact, using information that you have verified yourself. 3. Never provide your account information and/or password over the phone or in response to an unsolicited Internet request. A financial institution would never ask you to verify your account information or confirm a password online. Thieves armed with this information and your account number can help themselves to your money. 4. Review account statements regularly to ensure all charges are correct. If your account statement is late in arriving or does not arrive, call your financial institution to find out why. If your financial institution offers electronic account access, check your account activity online regularly to catch suspicious activity. What to do if you fall victim • Contact your financial institution immediately and alert it to the situation. • Close accounts you think have been tampered with or opened fraudulently. Call the security or fraud department of each associated company or financial institution. Followup in writing and supply copies of supporting documents. • It is important to notify credit card companies and financial institutions in writing. Send your letters by certified mail, return receipt requested, so you can document when and what the company received. Keep copies of your correspondence and enclosures. • Report all suspicious contacts to the Federal Trade Commission through the Internet at edu/microsites/idtheft/, or by calling 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338). • Check with your state Attorney General’s office to find out if state law requires the police to take reports for identity theft. Check the Blue Pages of your telephone directory for the phone number, or check for a list of state Attorneys General. If possible, file a report with local police or police in the community where the identity theft took place. Obtain a copy of the police report or the report number. It can help you deal with creditors who need proof of the crime. If the police are reluctant to take your report, ask to file a “Miscellaneous Incidents” report. 12/9/08 12:17:15 PM
