Collecting And Storing Family Memories(NAPSI)From snap-

ping photos to makingscrapbooks or shootinghome movies, parentshave long been the cura-tors of family memories.Today, those memories

are more likely to be preserved digitally,

saved on our computersand shared via socialnetworks. Collectingmemories online makesit easier to share themwith family far and near,especially if you keep inmind a few simple rulesof thumb.Here are a few tips to

help you get started:Scan to save. Dont

forget to scan in docu-ments, such as relevantnewspaper clips, greatreport cards and awardsthat might otherwisefade and become fragile.

Celebrate the everyday.Dont just documentspecial events such asweddings or birthday

parties. Snapshots ofeveryday life are likelyto be treasured yearslater.Add action. Mix up

memories in photographform and video.Choose a computer that

makes it easy. When youshop for a new com-

puter, choose one with ared VISION Technologysticker from AMD.Computers with this

technology offer bettertools for transforming

photos and videos intomemories that last alifetime. All-day batterylife means easy editingand photo sharing on thego, crystal-clear HDvisuals so pictures andvideos look morelifelike, and smoothvideo playback sofinished home moviescan be viewed and

shared with loved ones.When looking for a PC: Speed counts: Lack of

time holds most people back from doing morewith their photos. Whenyou choose a PC with asupercomputing proces-sor such as AMDs

VISION Engine, yourcomputer will have thehorsepower needed toupload and edit photosand videos quickly. Focus on the graph-

ics: Home videos anddigital photographs lookricher and more vivid,and editing is a breeze ifyou have a computerwith supersharp graph-ics capabilities. Smooth out those

shaky home movies:Video-editing software,such as vReveal, allowsyou to easily organize,

fix, edit and share yourvideos. You can editvideos taken from a

smartphone, tablet orvideo camera to brilliantHD quality with a singleclick, create panoramic

photos from your video,and save in a mobile-friendly format for easysharing on the go. Battery life: If youre

planning to upload

photos or share a videowith mom while youreaway from home,

choose a machine withlong battery life, such asthe HP dv6 with AMDAllDay Power, whichlasts up to 10.5 hours.For more information,

Another year is draw-ing to a close, and it has

been quite a year for NoKill Lehigh Valley!It started with winning

a $50,000 grant fromPepsi quickly followed

by a $10,000 grant fromthe state of Pennsylva-nia.This money was spent

before it arrived. It wentto heal sickness andinjury of 98 cats and 56

dogs and to spay andneuter over 500 cats andfive dogs. This year,they have spent over$70,000 on veterinarycare and spay/neuter.The calls came in from

desperate people, oftenwith quivering voices.

These people werecalling, trying to savetheir animals becausethere was no one else tocall.Without them, the little

cat who had beensavaged by a dog wouldnot have been treatedand her jaw would haveremained painfully - costof treatment - $300.The little Jack Russell

who ate Ibuprophin

would have died fromliver failure. Cost oftreatment - $460.The two little terriers

with mange would nothave had this painfulcondition treated. Costof treatment - $227.28.The eight month old

terrier mix would nothave been able to havehis broken femoral headrepaired - $714.50.The three-legged lab

who is the best friend ofa disabled veteran whois homeless would not

have had his very pain-ful skin condition takencare of.The list goes on and

on.Without No Kill

Lehigh Valley, none ofthese animals wouldhave received the treat-ment they needed.So, that's what they do

and that's where yourdonations go. Feels

pretty good doesn't it?This is their holiday giftto you.And, one more thing

about the little guy whowas rescued from the

junk yard: they justlearned that he wasadopted by one of thevets at Valley Central.Can't ask for a happierending.Donations can be sent

to No Kill LehighValley, PO Box 4272Bethlehem, PA 18018.

No Kill Lehigh Valley Helps Animalsin Need Throughout The Year

Helping Returning Veterans Find Work

( N A P S I ) A f t e r serving their country,many veterans faceanother kind of battlewhen they returnhomethe struggle tofind a job.According to the latest

data from the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statis-tics, the unemploymentrate for recentlyreturned veterans ismore than 12 percent.Fortunately, some of

our nations companiesare making an extraeffort to support veter-ans and help them findwork.

For example, Walmarthas made a five-year,$20 million commitmentto the military andveteran communities toaddress the critical needsof our nations heroes,with a special emphasison access to job trainingand careers.A recent two-year,

$750,000 grant to Veter-ans Green Jobs will help

provide hands-on expe-rience and educationalopportunities to veterangreen-job seekers, aswell as job placement,

preparation and training.

The idea that ournations heroes are

being forced to transi-tion from the front linesto the unemploymentline is one of the worstrealities we can imag-ine, said retired U.S.Army BrigadierGeneral Gary Profit,senior director ofmilitary programs atWalmart.We want to help

ensure our veteranshave the support theyneed and the careeropportunities theydeserve.

Volunteers: A Key To Curing Alzheimers Disease(NAPSI)Although

more than 5 millionpeople age 65 and olderin the U.S. are currentlyliving with Alzheimersdisease (AD), and whilethat number is expectedto jump to 13.5 millionby 2050, there is reasonto hope. Thats goodnews for the almost 15million moreA me r i c a ns f a mi lymembers, friends,neighbors andvolunteerscurrently

caring for their loved

ones with AD withoutany real options to helpthem get better.Alzheimers is the only

disease in the top 10causes of death withouta way to prevent, cure oreven slow the progres-sion of the disease. Infact, between 2000 and2008, deaths from ADincreased by 66 percent,while deaths from HIV,stroke, heart disease and prostate cancer alldeclined significantly.

Scientists have learned

a great deal about poten-tial underlying causes ofAD, and advancementsin treatments have beenaccomplished in recentyears. To spur more breakthroughs andspeed discoveries,scientists are focusingon early detectionthrough neuroimagingof the brain.We have to under-

stand Alzheimers fromits earliest signs in orderto treat it effectively,

said Michael Weiner,

M.D., principal investi-gator of the AlzheimersDisease NeuroimagingInitiative (ADNI). Ifwe can get a fullerpicture of the brain andidentify signs of thedisease before someonegets ill, we can developbetter treatment options,which could slow theprogression and one dayeven prevent or cureAlzheimers.ADNI, the largest

Alzheimers study of itskind, is now in itssecond phase (ADNI 2).

Scientists are lookingfor volunteers ages 5590 to participate in thestudy to allow them tocontinue their researchat the pace needed to besuccessful against thedisease. They are seek-ing healthy individuals,those with somememory concerns and people with diagnosedAD.Participants will not

only be contributing tothe search for treatmentsand a cure for AD, they

will also have the benefit of access toleading medical expertsin the field.To volunteer or learn

more about the study,contact the NationalInstitute on AgingsAlzheimers DiseaseEducation and Referral(ADEAR) Center at(800) 438-4380 or visitwww.adni-info.org.

SomeLong-term

CareInsurance IsBetter Than

None(NAPSI)In todays

challenging economy,long-term care insur-ance can easily get puton the back burner, yetthe state of the economyalso means its morecrucial than ever toprotect your assets.

When compared to the

cost of paying for long-term care services froma home health aide,nursing home or assistedliving facility, the costof insurance can seemmore affordable.Even if you cant

afford a policy with allthe bells and whistles-and there can be manyto choose fromyoushould understand thathaving some long-termcare coverage is betterthan having none at all,said Mary Swanson,

product performandirector at Mutual ofOmaha.She offers some advice

that can help keep long-term care insurancecosts under control: Sign up early. The

younger you are whenyou get long-term careinsurance, the loweryour rate will be. Limit your coverage

amount. You can findsavings by decreasingyour monthly benefitamount or length ofcoverage.

Determine how muchyou really need to protect. A three-yeabenefit period is signifi-cantly less expensivethan lifetime coverage. Increase the elimina-

tion period. If you selecta 90-day elimination period (the waitin period before coveragekicks in) over a zero-day period, you can save asignificant amount onpremiums.

Inflation protection. Allowances.

Fireplace Inserts Save Energy And Money

(NAPSI)Heres anidea many homeownersmay greet warmly:keeping hot air insidewhen its cold out.In many houses, the

problem surprisinglycomes from something

youd think would keepyou warm: traditionalo p e n - m a s o n r yfireplaces. They justarent very efficient.Every minute they burn,these fireplaces canexhaust as much as 300cubic feet of heatedindoor air outside yourhome, according to theU.S. Department ofEnergy. Thats 18,000cubic feet of heated airlost per hour.As the warm air leaves,

cold air from windows,doors and other areas is

drawn to the fireplace.This cools the house andforces the furnace towork harder to heat yourentire home.

Fortunately, there is away to enjoy yourfireplace without suffer-ing from high energy

bills and a drafty house.Fireplace inserts fit

directly into the openingof existing masonry-

built fireplaces and offerenhanced heating

performance, style andmoney-saving eff-iciency.Fireplace inserts come

in numerous designs andfuel types.When evaluating gas

fireplace inserts, a

critical component tolook for is Direct Venttechnology. Such unitshave sealed fireboxesand venting that expel100 percent of exhaustoutside of the home-for clean, safe indoor airquality.One wood-burning

insert made by Quadra-Fire is the Voyageur. It

blends clean, eco-friendly heating withdistinctive cast-ironstyling. A robust 46,000BTU heating capacityheats up to 2,400 square

feet and a single load ofwood can efficiently

burn for up to 12 hours.An efficient gas

fireplace insert is the

Heat & Glo Escape I35.It features traditionalwood-burning looksthrough a convenientgas platform. A moldedFireBrick ceramicinterior radiates 25

percent more heat thanmetal fireboxes, and anintermittent pilot systemconserves energy.Theres a battery backupsystem, so it works evenduring a power outage.These days, hom-

eowners are seekingmore and more ways toincrease their homevalue, said DianeUtzman-ONeill ofHearth & Home Tech-nologies, a leadinghearth product manufac-turer. Inserts can lowerheating costs and reviveinterior designs.For more facts about
