Important registration deadlines loom
Much attention has been focused on the March 31 deadline to sign up for health care coverage, but another important deadline is looming: April 7 is the last day to register to vote in the May 6 primary election.
Midterm elections don't draw the interest they should. Indiana voters will choose a congressman, 25 state senators and all members of the Indiana House. In addition, they will elect dozens of county- and township-level officials.
Some voters prefer to sit out the primary out of reluctance to declare a party preference. For voters in Allen County and other northeast Indiana communities where the Republican Party dominates partisan contests, the primary election might as well be the general election. Democrats struggle to fill some of the ballot spots. In Allen County, the party's only contested race in May is for the nomination for the 3rd District congressional seat.
Sitting out the primary could leave you few choices in November. Indiana House District 85, for example, has a three-way GOP race, but no Democratic candidate filed for the nomination.
The party could fill the vacancy before the general election or leave the Republican nominee without a challenger.
April 7 is also the deadline to transfer registration if you've moved since the last election. If you want a voice in government, your best opportunity is through the ballot box.
The borers back
Cold as it was, this winter wasn't cold enough to kill the larvae of the emerald ash borer.
Other pests may have been affected by the polar vortex, experts say, but the emerald ash borer – an invader from Asia that has killed millions of ash trees nationwide, and thousands in Fort Wayne – probably will survive to kill and kill again.
The bug is not called a borer because it tells long and pointless stories but rather because its larvae bore into ash trees.
Most experts predict that since the larvae of the EAB tunnels underneath the bark into the hardwood of the tree, there will be little effect on this pest as a result of the cold winter, Ricky Kemery, Allen County's Purdue Horticulture Extension educator, wrote in an email this week.
Pests such as Gypsy Moth (and) bagworm will be affected and we should see lower populations of those this year.
That's some comfort. But the only hope now is that maybe it will be so hot this summer that all the emerald ash borers will melt.
Inequality draws Indianas interest
Ed Feigenbaum's Indiana Legislative Insight points to an interesting finding in an investing newsletter, Mauldin Economics: A Google Trends search for the word inequality finds that not only have monthly searches for the subject more than doubled in the past year, Indiana is the state with the highest number of searches for it.
Hmmm. Are Hoosiers growing wary of the 1 percent?
Money best spent on music for more
In 1964, a viola made by Antonio Stradivari sold for $81,000, or $613,000 in today's dollars. When it goes on sale later this spring, bidding will start at $45 million. Given the state of finances of many municipal music organizations, we are inclined to observe that the price of that Strad, which some people in the know call such instruments, is out of line. Way out of line.
As the New York Times suggests, the price shows the influence collectors, presumably those in the top 1 percent, have on the market for rare instruments.
Another, perhaps more populist way of looking at the phenomenon is that many orchestras, including the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, are struggling with finances. To help resolve a $2 million deficit, the musicians and Philharmonic management reached an agreement in February that reduces the weeks the musicians play from 40 to 33, or a 17 1/2 percent pay cut. Clearly, $45 million could underwrite the Philharmonic for some time.
Stradivari lived in the 17th and 18th centuries. Many people know of Stradivarius violins: roughly 600 are known to exist. But violas? A different story. Maybe 10.
Sotheby's is handling the sale, along with Ingles & Hayday, a specialist in selling valuable instruments. Bidders will submit sealed bids without their knowing what others are offering.
We have a proposal: Perhaps the people who bid ought to be required to contribute money to struggling orchestras. If the bidders like viola music that much, let them put money forward so the rest of us might enjoy it, too.

A new study that analyzed available data from the University of Chicago's General Social Survey suggests that increases in college education and the use of the Internet have resulted in a significant drop in religious affiliation of Americans over the last two decades.
The proportion of Americans who say they have no religious preference has increased from 8 percent in 1990 to 18 percent in 2010, according to the study conducted by Allen Downey, a computer scientist at the Olin College of Engineering in Mass.

A Southern California mother has agreed to remove the roadside cross memorializing her dead son after receiving pressure from an atheist organization.
Ann Marie Devaney placed a white Christian cross near an on-ramp to Highway 15 inLake Elsinore, Calif., after her 19-year-old son Anthony was struck and killed by a car while crossing the street there in May 2012. After two years, Devaney has agreed to remove the cross after the American Humanist Association pressured the city of Lake Elsinore, reportedly on behalf of an atheist resident who argues the cross' presence on government-owned highway is unconstitutional.

(RNS) Members of one of the largest congregations in the Presbyterian Church (USA) have voted to leave the denomination, despite facing an $8.89 million cost for leaving.
Menlo Park Presbyterian is based in the San Francisco Bay area and led by well-known author and pastor John Ortberg. It is the ninth-largest PCUSA church, with about 4,000 members, including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

What caused three Republican lawmakers in Arizona to sign SB 1062 only to reverse course a few days later and urge Governor Jan Brewer to veto the bill?
The controversial religious freedoms bill, which Gov. Brewer ultimately vetoed, was passed along party lines by a vote of 17 (Republicans) to 13 (Democrats), but as the bill received tremendous public opposition, from Apple to the NFL, from Delta Airlines to the NBA, and from Mitt Romney to John McCain, three of those Republicans had a change of heart.
As reported on February 25th, "three state senators, who initially voted in favor of the measure, said in a letter to Republican Governor Jan Brewer that the proposal had been mistakenly approved in haste and had already caused 'immeasurable harm' to Arizona's national image."
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."

text: You're Invited...to Help Scrub ACORN's Image by Mike Flynn 23 Feb 2010 post a comment Share This: Yesterday came the news that ACORN was 'dissolving' its national structure, allowing many of its local chapters to go 'independent'. ACORN's destruction of its brand had threatened the existence of every ACORN office in the country. Shedding the ACORN brand will give them a chance restart the flow of public money and leftist donors. Make no mistake, however, that while their names may change, the personnel groomed by ACORN and the tactics they employ will remain the same. To paraphrase a famous verse, "A Rose by any other name...has just as many thorns." Below is an invite to New York ACORN's first 're-branding shindig.' This Thursday, long-time political allies of ACORN and its Working Families Party will host a high-dollar fundraiser for "New York Communities for Change," the presumptive heir to ACORN NY. ACORN Relaunch - I wonder what would happen if a bunch of liberty and freedom loving activists showed up on this? I bet it would be interesting. Definitely, keep me posted.

Correct mode for TP-Link access point?
My home network consists of 8 PCs, a PVR, an IP Camera, a PS3, a Wii and a network printer. My sons also have iPods they want to connect wirelessly.
My internet connection is cable which connects to a Netgear WNR3500 wireless gigabit router. This is cabled to a DLink 1016D 16 port gigabit switch.
Wireless is enabled on the WNR3500 and the iPods connect fine within a 25-30 foot radius of the router. The PS3 only got a 35-45% signal from 15 feet away so I cabled it. The other end of the house is 60 feet away.
At the other end of the house I have a PC and a PVR connected to a DLINK DGS1008D 8 port gigabit switch.
I purchased a TP-LINK TL-WA601G access point from a computer store who told me this would enable me to have the wireless devices to access the network from that end of the house.
But I can't get it working. I have the same SSID on both wireless routers. I have the TP-Link set to access point mode, and plugged into the switch. The WNR3500 is 192.168.1.250 and the TP-Link is 192.168.1.254. When I look at connected devices on the WNR3500 I do not see the TP-LINK.
Can someone please provide guidance as to how I extend my wireless capabilities to the far end of the house. Sorry for being a noob.
|My System Specs
|29 Dec 2009
The simple answer is that the store guy gave me a bum steer.
The correct answer is that the TP-Link had to be configured as a repeater, and the MAC address of the WNR3500 added.
On the Netgear WNR3500 I had to enable the wireless repeater and set it as a repeater base station then add the MAC address of the TP-LINK.
Thanks for your assistance.

Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Pomegranate Salad
November 24, 2014,
An attack and the police response struck a chord in the nation, still dealing with the trauma of another brutal rape case.
Catholic officials all too often pick and choose when laws apply to the church.
In many rape cases, the police spend more time seeking reconciliation, even marriage, between the attacker and the victim, instead of an investigation.
Denis Mukwege, a gynecologic surgeon who has helped thousands of rape victims, arrived in Congo after more than two months in exile after an assassination attempt.
While a horrific gang rape in New Delhi has drawn attention to a violent epidemic, rape is just one facet of a broad range of violence that leads to the deaths of almost two million women a year.
An important part of the military budget bill will provide female service members with insurance coverage for abortions in cases of rape and incest.
Rape, murder and other charges were filed on Thursday against five men suspected of carrying out an attack on a 23-year-old student in a case that has sparked outrage and protests across India.
Protesters in New Delhi demanded justice and better policing after the rape of a 23-year-old medical student.
The views articulated by Representative Todd Akin are far from new in anti-abortion circles, but leading experts on reproductive health said there is no solid data to support his claims.

There is an asterisk attached to the surprising release of long-time Houston Texans right tackle Eric Winston. A source told FOXSports.com that Winston was listed under the "waived/failed physical" designation by the Texans when cut. Winston, though, told FOXSports.com that the billing stems from his having undergone arthroscopic ankle surgery in February. In a text message, Winston said he will be medically cleared in two weeks. Winston also said he would be fully healed by now had he undergone the minor procedure in January. At that time, Winston had no idea he wouldn't be playing for the Texans in 2012. He had started every game for the past five seasons and was considered one of the league's better right tackles. But with a $5.5 million base salary for 2012 and the Texans having salary-cap issues, Winston became expendable. Winston was en route to South Florida on Tuesday night for a visit with the Miami Dolphins. Winston played at the University of Miami a...

The best in that it is an obviously well developed product, with oodles of features and functionality and a devoted user community.
The worst in that it has (as is all too common) next to no documentation. The sole piece of documentation, a "quick step-by-step guide", tells you in 12 rote steps "what" to do to get K2 basically-kinda'-sorta' up and running, without touching on whys. OK, I've got extra field groups and extra fields. That's nice. What are they for?
I know that they say that this product is not for Joomla beginners (which I'm not); but more honestly, it should say that the product is not for anyone who does not have 6 to 12 hours to spare mucking about and kicking the wheels to figure out the workings of the system. Judging by the mostly positive reviews here, there are a lot of such users who are willing to do so, and more power to you. I'm not one of them. I resent having to re-invent the wheel, 'cause it's so inefficient and unnecessary, and a waste of my time.
Deleting K2 from my system for now, which is a pity, 'cause it does seem good; I'll check back in a six months or so to see if anyone has documented anything yet.
