I am in college, behind firewall how to connect..

I even tried some free proxy server available on the Internet as I read on Internet, but could not help either.
Please help me.... how to do it...

I'd recommend you switch to Bittorrent and try BitComet since its the only client with a full version of NAT Traversial (set to auto detect) to get around firewalls.
Once µTorrent gets their version out of the alpha stage switch to their client.

Frostwire and Bearshare both have good NAT Traversal implementations.
Whatever you do dont get the latest Bearshare though, if you plan on trying Bearshare get this one instead.
You should be careful though cause even if you get sharing working the network admins will still be able to see how much data is being transfered over your connection if you have to log into your LAN or you connect to the wall in your dormroom then they will know who you are. So if you get it working dont use it toooo much.

Use ARES Galaxy (Not ARES Lite) from http://aresgalaxy.sf.net/
The production and support for ARES Lite has been stopped a long time back. So chances are that you would end up with no connectivity. (Need More Reason?).
and Whilst using ARES Galaxy.. If your ports are blocked by System Admin.. dont worry.. just continue using. Ares Chooses a random port for listening and many TCP and UDP for transferreing. If that doest help you in connecting, just use a Proxy (free proxy doesnt help, get a better one) and set it up trough Control Panel > Network.
That should do the trick.

Steve8, replying to a post that's two years old is called "necroposting", and is generally both pointless and frowned upon. It's even worse when you don't really have anything to add to that long-dead discussion. You should pay attention to the date of what you're replying to, and avoid necroposting.

Written by George Freedman, DDS Thursday, 14 February 2013 13:56
In First Impressions George Freedman, DDS, gives readers a brief summary of products that have recently been introduced to dentistry, based on his clinical experience.
Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative
Posterior restorations can be rather time consuming. It is difficult to manipulate highly viscous composite resin into the nooks and crannies of the preparation and to closely adapt it to the preparation margins. (Anything less than an excellent seal will permit oral fluid and bacterial infiltration, eventually causing the restoration to break down). Furthermore, it is common practice to polymerize every 2 mm layer separately to assure complete cure of the restorative material. The invisible but deadly shrinkage stress of polymerizing composites can open marginal gaps and microfracture cusps. 3M ESPE has recently introduced Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative, an innovative posterior restorative material that cures to a depth of 4 mm, thus requiring fewer polymerization steps than conventional, incrementally placed composites. The process is faster and easier; the flowable's viscosity makes anatomic and marginal adaptation easy and leaves fewer voids. Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable is indicated as a base under Class I and II direct restorations and as a liner under direct restorative materials. In situations where a minimum of half the coronal tooth structure remains, it can be used as a core build-up material. It can also be used to repair small enamel defects and as a pit and fissure sealant. Its physical and wear properties are similar to 3M ESPE's Filtek Supreme Ultra Flowable. The composite fillers consist of zirconia/silica particles ranging from 0.01 to 3.5 µm and ytterbium trifluoride ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 µ. The filler load is 64.5% (by weight, 42.5% by volume). The material is available in 4 shades (U, A1, A2, and A3) that are generally more translucent than most body or enamel shades.
DOE SE Oral Exam System
Clinical dentists are increasingly called upon to provide more sophisticated diagnostic services. The decision making that is involved in differentiating disease from health is one of the most important tasks for the dental profession. Any instruments that assist the practitioner in identifying abnormal tissues are a welcome addition to the armamentarium. Oral cancer cases have been increasing during the past one to 2 decades and alarmingly so in groups that were not traditionally at risk: younger females with no history of tobacco use or significant alcohol consumption. The DOE SE Oral Exam System by DentLight is a simplified exam instrument for oral cancer screening. Utilizing a collimated LED beam technology with a customized high-contrast fluorescence viewer, the DOE SE allows the dentist or hygienist to directly detect oral lesions without requiring patients to rinse their mouth with a vinegary solution. The solid metal cordless wand can be used both extra- and intraorally for early detection of tissue changes and abnormalities before they become apparent to the naked eye. The full extent of any observed lesion is readily identified for documentation and may be photographed for further analysis. While the lack of fluorescence is not specific for cancer (traumatized, vascularized, and pigmented tissues also appear dark), it does provide an important clue that further obser-vation and/or biopsy may be needed. Simply illuminate the target soft tissues with the DOE SE light and observe through the filter of the specially provided glasses (wearable over regular prescription glasses). Healthy tissue appears greenly fluorescent; questionable tissue appears dark. This allows dental professionals to offer effective and efficient routine examinations that are easily performed chairside to screen for oral cancers, enhancing patient care and long-term health protection.

Loss of Black political power
By Virgie Rollins
Across the nation, African Americans are losing their political power. Michigan, California, Maryland, New York and the District of Columbia are all poised for significant loss of Black legislators due to redistricting and corruption.
The U.S. Constitution demands that all 435 House districts be redrawn every 10 years, a situation that has allowed Republicans to use redistricting as a tool to eliminate as many Democrats as possible. Unfortunately, Black politicians are more vulnerable to the effects of gerrymandering than their white counterparts. They have a more difficult time raising funds to run for public office and many have very liberal voting records that make them quite unattractive to the moderate and independent voters who decide elections in this country.
As a result of the newly redrawn congressional districts, John Conyers (D-MI), Hansen Clarke (D-MI) Sanford Bishop (D-GA) and other African American politicians face new districts filled with unfamiliar and largely unfriendly faces. Here in Michigan residents are in danger of losing both their Black legislators, a situation that would leave the Michigan delegation devoid of minority members for the first time in more than 30 years.
In 2008, Barack Obama made U.S. history by becoming the first African American president. An accomplishment that many hoped would make it easier for Black politicians to get elected to office. In reality, Blacks are losing ground. According to the Congressional Black Caucus, Black political representation is only 8.1 percent in the U.S. House and 0 percent in the Senate.
Since it's more difficult for Blacks to capture and maintain power, the impact of any loss of political power is multiplied tenfold. Detroit's nearly 25 percent drop in population over the past decade translates into one less seat in the U.S. House of Representatives for the Michigan delegation. However, in compliance with the Voting Rights Act, two of the remaining districts are required to contain a minority majority, thus preventing a significant loss of Black political power and influence.
The Voting Rights Act was crafted to preserve Black political representation in Congress but Blacks in Michigan have done very little to ensure their own political clout. We have not met with democratic leaders to ensure Black candidates have the financial backing needed to get elected. Nor have we identified promising, young African Americans, who could be groomed to become public servants. Now, we find ourselves at a crossroad. Who will represent the political interest of African Americans in two of the least affluent districts in the country? Who will fight for educational and economic opportunities that give Blacks access to well-paying jobs? Can African Americans really trust their political, educational and economic future to others?
Virgie M Rollins, Chair
African American Caucus Democratic National Committee

About / CV
My research analyzes the way that various groups determine what counts as research and technology of security concern, and how that process of shaping things of security concern also shapes the governance system around them. It draws on and contributes to the literature on classification, boundary work, international political/technological institutions, and the co-production of social and technological systems. Topically, I am currently focused on the governance of security concerns within synthetic biology, and have an ongoing interest in the governance systems for conventional and cyber "dual-use" technology.
I am currently a Research Fellow at the Center for Science, Technology, Medicine, & Society (CSTMS) at the University of California, Berkeley, a Lecturer at Harvard University's Department for the History of Science, and a Research Affiliate at the Center for International Studies at MIT. I have just completed three years as Associate Director for Research for CSTMS, where I helped build the Science and Technology Studies (STS), History of Science and Technology, and Medical Humanities communities. From 2009-2011, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard, which was a joint appointment with the Program on Science, Technology, & Society, located within the Kennedy School of Government and the School of Engineering & Applied Science. I completed my doctoral research in 2009 within the Institute for Science, Innovation, & Society (formerly the James Martin Institute for Science & Civilization) at the University of Oxford. This research, supervised by Professor Steve Rayner, was on the Wassenaar Arrangement, an international informal group that works to prevent destabilising accumulations of conventional arms and dual-use technologies in regions of concern.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
Research Interests
Topical Areas:
- Security controls on international trade, especially the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies
- The construction and governance of security concerns within Synthetic Biology
Theoretical Areas:
- Science & Technology Studies, especially:
- The coproduction of social and knowledge systems
- Ambiguity, uncomfortable knowledge, and the social construction of ignorance
- Classification systems, particularly how we catergorize items as malicious or not (e.g. "dual-use" research and technology)
- International security
- Cultural Theory (building on the work of Mary Douglas)

The late Leodegario B. Payo, Sr. was the founder of Payo Manufacturing Corporation. He married the late Carmen Bachiller and had three siblings.
He was known to be "The Jack of All Trades". He was an expert on carpentry, machineries, blacksmith and automotive work. He didn't do much good with his academics because he only finished grade 5. However he was extremely blessed with knowledge that at a young age he became a consistent Awardee of his invented Corn Mill Apparatus and was very successful in running his own shop.
The little shop Leodegario Sr. used to run became a family Corporation and was named Payo Manufacturing Corporation. The Corporation is not only limited to the manufacturing of Corn Mill apparatus but it also manufacture all kinds of agricultural products and other post harvest equipments, accessories and other agricultural machineries that are made to order.

With parasite
The following is a post with a response from the CARM discussion board on abortion with a person named Jamie. The original post is in brown with CARM's response in green.
Jamie: I don't think many people would refer to their pregnancy as a parasite, but it is in fact, scientifically descriptive and provides a basis for understanding the built-in traps inherent in discussing the "right to life" arguments.
Matt: In order for us to make our sins more palatable, we often use words that are void of morality. For example, adultery is called an affair. The word "adultery" carries with it the issue of sin. But, the term "affair" doesn't. Secularism tells us people had an affair--not that they committed adultery and broke their covenant with each other and with God.
Likewise, the term "parasite" contains a negative connotation. The use of the term "parasite," when describing a life in the womb, strongly tilts the emotional reaction to that life towards the negative. When that negativity takes root, it is far easier to destroy that life. This is why it is so important to use proper terms when discussing such a moral issue, and abortion is a moral issue!
Don't be mistaken, the built-in trap is when ethics and morality are stripped away through sterilized words which avoid the ethical and moral responsibility given to us by God to protect and defend the innocent and weak. Just because something might be technically correct in the definition does not mean that it is sufficiently descriptive and proper to use. We are more than technicalities. We are human beings living in a moral world, and we will be held accountable for our actions by a very moral God.
Jamie: A human fetus ceases to become a "parasite" when it can sustain an independent existence outside the womb.
Matt: All right, for the sake of argument, since you are a male named Jamie, I'll now appoint you a pregnant wife for this dialogue:
Matt: Hello, Jamie. [I look at your wife's abdomen] I see you are with parasite.
Jamie: What?
Matt: With parasite. [I point to her abdomen]
Jamie: Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a parasite. It is our future child.
Matt: It is not a child now, correct?
Jamie: Correct, it is a fetus.
Matt: Is it not sucking the life from your wife, feeding off of her body, taking nourishment from her, and forcing her to go through various unpleasantries as she works hard to increase her food intake so as to provide for her own life as well as the parasitic life in her womb?
Jamie: Well, technically, yes, but . . .
Matt: And is the fetus giving anything back in return?
Jamie: No, except maybe, well . . .
Matt: So, it is feeding off of your wife and not giving anything back. Therefore, you have a parasite growing in her. Wouldn't the smart thing to do be to kill it?
Jamie: Wait, you are being way too cold and rude about this.
Matt: I am being perfectly logical. Can you please tell me if you have decided to kill the parasite or not?
Jamie: Look, I don't like how this conversation is going. You are being insulting.
Matt: How, by calling what is in your wife a parasite? How is that insulting? Is that not an accurate description?
Jamie: Yes, but it is demeaning.
Matt: What do feelings have to do with the technically correct term? I fail to see the wisdom in continuing to have a parasite indwelling your wife when you know it is sapping her strength and feeding off of her body. I think you are illogical.
Jamie: Look, I've had about enough of this. You are insulting to our child.
Matt: It is technically not a child according to you, and it is also technically correct to call the thing a parasite. Can you please tell me if you have decided to keep or kill the parasite?
Jamie: We have chosen to have this child. We are going to have a baby.
Matt: I see. So you have chosen to retain the life of the pre-viable parasite.
Jamie: I suppose you're correct. [Jamie's wife smacks me upside the head.]
Jamie: The humanness of the fetus does not depend upon its status as a parasite or as a viable independent organism. Parasite is a descriptive term of a developmental phase of humans. Conceding that life begins at conception does not alter the developmental phases of the fetus or its pre-viability parasitic nature.
Matt: If the humanness of the fetus is independent of its status as a parasite or viable organism, then what you are saying is that its nature is not contingent upon its dependence on the mother. This means that it has human nature (since it is the product of human sperm and a human egg), and the argument of location (in or out of the womb) is irrelevant to the nature of the life. The parasite is inside of a woman, according to you; but when that same life is outside the woman, it is no longer a parasite. Therefore, it is you who is not being consistent.
Also, a correction. Life does not begin at conception. Life continues at conception since the sperm and the egg are both alive, come together, and produce a fertilized egg--which is human in its essence.
Jamie: The relevance of the parasitic status of the fetus comes into play in determining whether or not the fetus may or may not be at a viable stage in its development at the time of an abortion, in which case life support measures could be undertaken to sustain its existence.
Matt: So clean and sterile a description. How distant it is from morality and decency. This is the formula of death--an appeal to the neutered description of barren fact so that "objective" measurement can be made to determining whether or not the parasite should live or die. Its humanity is irrelevant. Only the convenience of the mother should be the deciding factor over life and death.
Jamie: The arguments for an elective abortion end at the point that the fetus is capable of independent existence, at which point, the fetus is entitled to some protection. However, the mother's choice to terminate a pregnancy still trumps that of a viable fetus when serious medical complications arise. Most 3rd trimester abortions are done to save the life of the mother, or because the fetus is seriously deformed or suffering from a disease that will cause it to have a brief, but miserable life. There is no state that allows 3rd trimester abortions merely for "convenience."
Matt: Secularism does not agree with you. The option of abortion continues up to the moment of birth in the atrocity known as partial-birth abortion. You offer nothing morally to object to that heinous act. You simply state that the fetus is entitled to some form of protection at viability. By what standard do you assert that? Do you make it up? Why is viability the point where protection should be offered? What you're promoting is arbitrary and subjective opinion. What moral standard do you have by which you claim this?
To say that the mother's choice trumps the right of protection of the life in the womb is to say that the life, which is human by nature, has no inherent human value. If it did have inherent human value, due to its human nature, it would automatically be entitled to full protection. But this cannot be the case when you offer us stripped, sterilized, and amoral descriptions of that human life. With such hygienic terms, you provide a cold and hard surface on which to build the doctrine of death.
Late trimester abortions of badly developed children are a more complicated topic worth deeper discussion. But, let me tell you that I have personally experienced that exact situation with my son Jacob who had a birth defect that killed him shortly after birth. My wife and I never entertained the idea of destroying him because he was not perfect. If the world were to live by that standard that the destruction of life is related to its "perfectness," then we'd better hope and pray that a despotic government doesn't take over and redefine what is perfect as it looks out upon the field of its population in order to decide what is chaff and what is wheat.
Jamie: Of course, not many people, if any, use the term "parasite" in reference to the unborn; it is still, however, scientifically descriptive and helps us understand violations of bodily integrity that an unwanted pregnancy presents.
Matt: It is a parasite when you don't want it. It is a baby when you do. This is a dangerous precipice to draw near to. Once you fall into the pit of granting value to human life based upon what you desire about that life, then you cannot complain when someone stronger than you deems your life less valuable and seeks to destroy it for the same rationale. You cannot retreat into the "viability" option and the inherent value of human life at this point because the antagonist needs only to strip you of your humanity by describing you in sterile and cold words in order to justify his action.
Jamie: The innocence of the fetus in its pre-viable parasitic phase has no relevance. The innocence of the third party does not make a difference in whether or not a forced pregnancy is a violation of bodily integrity. You have the right to guard the integrity of your bodies using whatever means necessary even when that integrity is threatened by a non-sentient organism such as a fetus. Courts have even upheld a person's right to defend via force or killing against the advances of an attacking somnabulist.
Matt: When you use the terms "pre-viable parasitic phase" to describe the baby in the womb, then of course the morality that underscores innocence has no footing. There can be no innocence with parasitic material because innocence implies humanity, purpose, integrity, and morality. As soon as these are introduced into the discussion, the coldness of your descriptions become glaringly insufficient; and the consequences of morally reprehensible behavior are made evident. What you have convinced me of the most is the ploy used by the unbelievers to strip the child of humanity and of emotional attachment and natural value and replace it with pre-viable parasitic sterility so that they can justify killing it for their own comfort.
When your wife gets pregnant, please make sure that you have a T-shirt made for her to wear out in public that says, "Developing, pre-viable, nonhuman, parasite inside."

Former fire chief tells of 'hidden' raffle tickets box
BRIDGEWATER — When former Bridgewater Fire Chief Justin "Pokey" Planz found what he thought was a squirreled-away shoe box filled with sold raffle tickets six years ago, he says he didn't know what to think. He just stared at them.
But he soon decided the box, stuffed with hundreds of tickets with their owners' names, addresses and phone numbers on them, did not belong in a cupboard in the corner of the private volunteer department's so-called Blue House on the fairgrounds.

" If the tickets ever went through the raffle, they would have been rolled up with a tight rubber band wrapped around each and every one of them. Not sitting in stacks, not attached to the stubs. I applaud Justin for speaking out and shedding light on some of the issues surrounding the incestuous raffle committee- perception is reality, and if people believe the raffle to be corrupt, the raffle loses out. On the bright side, we do know that Bill Stuart will not be running for office again, he did promise, after all, that this past run was his last. "

Kidney stones - What will happen to me?
Most kidney stones are small enough to work their way out of the body without needing treatment. But if your kidney stone is larger, you may need treatment to get rid of it.
Kidney stones usually vary in size from less than 2 millimetres across to more than 2 centimetres across. Most of them are less than 4 millimetres across, so they're small enough to pass out of people's bodies without treatment.[12]
If your stone shows up on an x-ray, your doctor might be able to tell you how big it is.
If it's less than 5 millimetres across, you have about a 9 in 10 chance that it will leave your body without treatment.[5]
If your stone is 5 millimetres to 10 millimetres across, you have about a 5 in 10 chance that it will leave your body without treatment. But you should be under the care of a kidney specialist (a urologist).[13]
Stones bigger than 1 centimetre across rarely pass on their own. If you have a stone this size, you will need a procedure to remove it.[14]
If you don't need a procedure to remove the stone
It can take two days to four weeks for a stone to pass through your body.
During this time, you will need to:
Take strong painkillers to help you cope with the pain
Drink plenty of water to increase the flow of urine and make it easier for the stone to pass.[14]
If you have a stone stuck in a ureter, your doctor might also recommend taking a medicine called an alpha-blocker. This type of drug is often used to treat high blood pressure or symptoms of an enlarged prostate, but studies show it can also help stones to pass through the ureters faster.
You'll probably be able to stay at home during this time, although you may need x-rays to check on the progress of the stone.
If the pain is very bad, or you're vomiting up fluids, you might have to be looked after in hospital.[14]
You should strain your urine in a tea strainer or something similar to catch any stones, or bits of stones, that pass. This is so that your doctor can find out what type of stone you have and advise you about what you can do to avoid getting another one. Your doctor will continue to keep an eye on you until an x-ray shows that the stone has gone.[13]
If you get more severe symptoms, this may mean your stone is blocking the flow of urine. This can be a serious problem. You should call your doctor straight away if you have:[15]
Extreme pain in your back or side that will not go away
Blood in your urine
Fever and chills. This can mean you have an infection
Urine that smells bad or looks cloudy
A burning feeling when you urinate.
You will need to see a urologist if you have a smaller stone that has not passed out of your body within four weeks. After that time, you are more likely to get problems like an infection.[13]

DETROIT -- After having begun lobbying the day before for tight officiating that would figure to favor his team in a second-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Ducks, Coach Mike Babcock of the Detroit Red Wings sent another not-so subtle message following Friday's morning skate.
With the series opener only hours away, Babcock took advantage of a question about Red Wings rookie defenseman Jonathan Ericsson to also draw attention to Ducks standout blue-liner Chris Pronger.
The 6-foot-4, 206-pound Ericsson, a native of Sweden, is certainly similar in size to the 6-6, 214-pound Pronger.
"He actually looks like Chris Pronger," Babcock said. "He doesn't cross-check and that stuff, but he does the rest."
Pronger, of course, is all too well known to Detroit fans, having faced the Red Wings six times previously in playoff series, four times while with the St. Louis Blues, once with the Edmonton Oilers and with the Ducks in the 2007 NHL Western Conference finals. It was during the latter series that Pronger drew a one-game, league-imposed suspension for a blow to the head of Detroit winger Tomas Holmstrom in Game 3.
Twenty-four percent of Pronger's lifetime playoff games, 34 of 140, have been against the Red Wings.

Asian airlines also upgrading premium services
Even as full-service Asian airlines rush to launch budget carriers, they're beefing up their premium services.
Sponsored Links
All Nippon Airways recently upgraded its business- and first-class cabins. Singapore Airlines has introduced seats that allow business-class passengers to lie flat on medium-length flights. Qantas is taking a minority stake in a premium airline.
Asia's booming economies are not only creating a price-sensitive middle class that's starting to travel, but they're also boosting the number of business and leisure travelers willing to pay full price for airline tickets, says Andrew Orchard, regional airline analyst at the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Indeed, Asia-Pacific is home to the world's fastest-growing population of high-net-worth individuals — people who have assets of at least $1 million excluding their primary residence and collectibles, according to a 2011 survey by Merrill Lynch and Capgemini. This region now has more millionaires than Europe and is the second-largest market in the world behind North America.
Given those demographics, "there is merit to having a product that can be sold at both ends," says Brendan Sobie, a senior analyst at the CAPA Centre for Aviation in Sydney. "You can offer both (budget and premium travel), but you have to manage it well."
The strategy also makes sense, according to Andrew Herdman, director of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines in Kuala Lumpur, because "everyone's competing in overlapping markets. You have a business traveler who later might want to buy the cheapest ticket he can get for leisure."
Still, business- and first-class passengers generate the "lion's share" of airlines' revenue, according to Randy Tinseth, vice president of marketing at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Overall, business class yields two to four times more revenue than economy class, while international first class seats can yield five to six times more revenue than economy, Boeing estimates.
At Singapore Airlines, business and first class passengers generate about 40% of overall revenue, according to Nicholas Ionides, an airline spokesman.
Asian economies are expected to grow faster than other parts of the world over the next few decades. As businesses expand in this region, it'll mean more corporate travelers for airlines, says Daniel Tsang, founder of Aspire Aviation, an aviation information and consulting firm in Hong Kong.
