Fate of Indiana school grading system uncertain
Friday - 8/2/2013, 4:24am EDT
TOM LoBIANCO
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- A school grading system designed to hold Indiana schools accountable faced an uncertain future Thursday after the state's former schools chief resigned as Florida's education commissioner amid revelations his staff changed a grade for a top Republic donor's charter school.
AFT Indiana, an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, called for an immediate suspension of the grading system, saying former Superintendent Tony Bennett's "unethical and deplorable" actions made a suspension necessary. School superintendents around the state said they don't want an accountability system "connected to corruption and manipulation." Gary Superintendent Cheryl L. Pruitt demanded the state overturn its takeover of Roosevelt Career and Technical Academy, saying the grading system that led to the takeover was tainted.
"Bennett's resignation should confirm that Indiana's flawed, and now manipulated, A-F grading system is evidence enough to call for immediate suspension of this process," said Rick Muir, president of AFT Indiana.
The tensions are likely to set off an internal tug-of-war between Democratic state schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz and Bennett's allies on the State Board of Education.
Ritz launched an internal review of the grading system Tuesday. Republican Gov. Mike Pence said Thursday he supports a review of the system but did not say whether grades issued by Bennett should be suspended.
Bennett resigned his job as Florida education commissioner Thursday, just days after The Associated Press published emails showing his staff changing Indiana's grading system to ensure a school founded by top Republican donor Christel DeHaan got an A.
Bennett denies giving special treatment to the Christel House Academy, and DeHaan and school officials said they were not involved in discussions about the grade.
But the discovery of the emails has raised questions about the grade system's credibility. Indiana uses A-F grades to determine which schools get taken over by the state and whether students seeking state-funded vouchers to attend private school need to first spend a year in public school. They also help determine how much state funding schools receive. A low grade also can detract from a neighborhood and drive homebuyers elsewhere.
The Indianapolis Star found two takeover schools that would have benefited if they had received the same treatment that DeHaan's school did, and school superintendents said the revelations this week should invalidate all the grades Bennett issued.
Bennett said he decided to resign because he didn't want the "distraction" the emails had created to detract from Florida's education efforts.
Wendy Robinson, superintendent of the Fort Wayne Community Schools, said Bennett's actions damaged the concept of accountability itself.
"We don't want 'accountability,' the term, to become passe. We don't want it be so connected with corruption and manipulation," she said.
Pence urged the Department of Education to move swiftly on its review, saying he wants results at next week's State Board of Education meeting.
Ritz did not respond to a request seeking comment Thursday.
Regardless of what action the state takes now, it's unlikely Washington will revoke its support of the sweeping school improvement plan Bennett wrote as Indiana's school chief. Indiana's 140-page plan requires states to give each school an A-F grade based on student achievement, graduation rates and career readiness. The state also set as a goal for 90 percent of its students to be performing at grade level, 90 percent of students to graduate and 25 percent of students to be ready for college or the workplace.
In exchange for the pledge, Education Secretary Arne Duncan gave Indiana permission to ignore parts of the No Child Left Behind law, such as all students performing at grade level in math and reading by 2014.
Carmel Martin, a former top adviser to Duncan until earlier this year, said it's unlikely that waiver will be revoked.
"From the department's standpoint, they wouldn't do it unless it were in the best interest of the children of Indiana," said Martin, now a senior official at the liberal Center for American Progress think tank.
Martin also said that even if something was wrong with implementing the system, that doesn't mean it should necessarily be scrapped.
The Education Department has given 39 states and the District of Columbia permission to ignore parts of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind Law. But that still leaves 11 states -- giants California and Texas among them -- operating under the law and set to fall short of its requirements.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Laura learns an age-old lesson in how power corrupts - and how the only thing worse than power is finding out you never really had any. When she realizes that the Koribati Islanders have been manipulating her all along, Henry's wayward ex-girlfriend begins a harrowing descent into madness.

Thanks to intense infighting, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is in for a big trouble in civic polls for Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC), the second most important municipal corporation after Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
There is strong possibility of four groups within the party staking their claims for the biggest share of the total seats which a party will be contesting in ensuing elections. Presently, NCP has 30 corporators in the House of 116 members.
Despite the fact that TMC is ruled by Shiv Sena-BJP alliance, it is the NCP which is the second largest political party in and even outside TMC. However, the problem with the NCP is there are four very strong groups within the party. One is led by party MLC Jitendra Awhad, who is known as 'rising star' of Thane while the other is led by Deputy Chairperson of Maharashtra Legislative Council Vasant Daokhare. Of course, there are smaller groups like the one of Thane district guardian minister Ganesh Naik and the other led by Subhash Bhoir.
"Awhad is undisputed face of the party in Thane, but other senior leaders not only try to dominate and sideline him, they also try to ensure that he does not get enough importance within the organisation. If this continues, his group will concentrate only on seats where his supporters will be getting candidature," said sources close to Awhad.
In a sharp reaction, Daokhare said, "I am with the party since its launch. How can you even compare me with Awhad? Can you compare Congress President Sonia Gandhi with some block unit president? I work selflessly and have never used party for my personal gains. And, above all, seat-sharing decisions are taken at the highest level and therefore there will be no problem in that."
Just the other day, Deputy Chief Minister Maharashtra R R Patil had to calm down party corporator Subhash Bhoir, who had threatened to join Shiv Sena if he wasn't given a plump post. It is learnt that Patil has promised him an appointment on CIDCO soon after the TMC elections. Bhoir refuted this and said, "I am not unhappy with anything. I have no demands. Patil happened to come to Mumbra and therefore visited my residence that is all." Of the 30 years of civic politics that Bhoir has to his credit, he has been on different committees for more than twenty-seven-and-a-half years!

Sea too blue, waiter too handsome; oddest hotel complaints revealed
Published on May 13, 2014 7:27 AM
LONDON (AFP) - An overly-handsome waiter, a snoring girlfriend and the sea being too blue are among some of the bizarre complaints made to hotel staff, according to a survey published on Monday.
Travel search engine Skyscanner quizzed 400 international hotel workers to draw up a list of the top ten unusual grumbles and diva-like demands.
Other complaints included sheets being too white, ice cream being too cold, the bath being too big and no steak on a vegetarian menu.
One customer asked for a discount after his sleep was disturbed by his snoring girlfriend, while another asked for a refund as his dog had had an unhappy stay.

3G iPhones already outnumbering 2.5G models?
updated 03:20 pm EDT, Tue August 26, 2008
More 3G iPhones than 2.5G?
The number of iPhone 3Gs on the market is near or already past all of the original 2.5G iPhones Apple ever produced, a report claims. The article notes that it took Apple approximately a year to ship six million 2.5G phones, despite heavy promotion and availability in six countries. Anonymous sources now claim that Foxconn, the main assembler for 3G iPhones, is continuing to build some 800,000 units per week, and has been ramping up production. Apple could thus reach the six million mark within the next week, judging by lifetime shipping numbers.
The 800,000-per-week figure is supported by a second anonymous account. BusinessWeek has suggested that the number could be even higher, as much as 150,000 per day, or roughly 1,050,000 per week. Apple would thus be capable of selling over 40 million iPhones in 2009, which could be crucial given the company's desire to sell the device in at least 70 countries by the end of 2008.

With only one out of the eight women among 150 candidates in fray for seven seats in Delhi and only one emerging victorious, the statistics of a female getting elected to the lower house from Delhi is an abysmal 0.5%.
While there were two constituencies West Delhi and North East Delhi, which did not see a single woman nomination, the maximum number of female candidates were in New Delhi seat-- five women out of a total 29 candidates.
Meenakshi Lekhi defeated sitting MP and Congress heavyweight Ajay Maken from New Delhi seat.
The high profile Chandni Chowk constituency, which saw BJP's Harsh Vardhan win over AAP's Ashutosh and union minister Kapil Sibal of Congress, had only one woman nominee - Rashmi Kashyap of Bharatiya Pragatisheel party.
Barring former Delhi minister Rakhi Birla (Aam Aadmi Party) and former central minister Krishna Tirath (Congress), no other woman nominee gave a tough fight to her rivals here.
Birla and Tirath finished second and third respectively in North-West constituency which also had Kamini Kaur (Independent) contesting from there.
In South Delhi seat, Ruby Yadav (Independent) and Sreerupa Mitra (Trinamool Congress) were in fray. The East Delhi seat had a single woman candidate--Manju Chibber (Republican Party of India) among 23 candidates.

It's only been two months since L.A. burlesque troupe Devil's Playground first took on the characters of Star Wars, but since then, a lot has happened. The success of the first performance prompted Devil's Playground founder Courtney Cruz to move the show to the recently renovated Music Box in Hollywood.

Chiefs stagger into bye week at 1-5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Six weeks after launching the season with quiet hopes of winning the AFC West, the Kansas City Chiefs have staggered into their bye week 1-5.
It's not just any old 1-5. It's an ugly 1-5.
Every loss but one has been a blowout. The offense has not scored a touchdown in the last eight quarters. Their lone victory came on an overtime field goal in New Orleans. Not once has Kansas City been ahead on the scoreboard when the ball was snapped.
The only man taking more heat than the head coach is the general manager.
Angry callers to sports radio shows are jamming the airways with threats of boycotting Arrowhead Stadium if changes are not made at the top, and fast.
Such public condemnation is new to Scott Pioli, who was honored as NFL executive of the year three times in New England before signing on as general manager of the Chiefs in 2009. For coach Romeo Crennel, it's a replay of a nightmarish time in Cleveland when he went 24-40 in four stormy seasons and was fired.
"I think you put on the blinders and you try to forge ahead," Crennel said Monday. "There is nothing that we can do about what's said other than win a ball game. If we win a ball game, then some of those comments probably get tempered a little bit. Then if we win another one, they get tempered a little more."
The Chiefs will practice through Wednesday before taking four days off to clear from their heads one of the worst starts in the 52-year history of the franchise.
"We need to correct some things that have hurt us in the past, so we can move forward," said defensive back Abe Elam. "We're not satisfied but it's still a long season. We're ready to get back to work. We watched the film this morning. Starting tomorrow, we'll try to improve on those things."
Except for Dustin Colquitt's expert punting, there is hardly an area that does not need improvement. Crennel, who won the job after guiding the team to a 2-1 record last year following Todd Haley's firing, is most interested in an attitude adjustment.
Many of the problems, especially a tendency to surrender long plays on defense, stems from people trying to do too much, he said.
"It's about making some choices that normally you wouldn't make," he said. "Do your job first and then help out. So if they do their job first no matter what the circumstance is, and then help out, we'll be better. But if they try to help out first before doing their job, then there's going to be a seam somewhere, there's going to be a hole. And a lot of times good teams find those holes."
He plans no letup this week.
"Practice and practice and practice. Repetition and repetition," he said.
Brady Quinn, taking over for the injured Matt Cassel at quarterback, was 22 for 38 for 180 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss at Tampa Bay in his first start in almost three years. If Cassel is cleared to play by the time the Chiefs resume action in two weeks at home against Oakland, will he or Quinn be under center?

Gregerson is one giant pain to Giants
Reliever has a history of shutting down S.F.
Bad night
Second-base umpire Greg Gibson didn't have the best of games Monday night.
One, he signaled home run on a Clayton Richard drive to right center that clearly bounced on the warning track. And he called a balk on Richard, although the left-hander's foot moved toward first.
"It wasn't a balk," said Richard, who was seen smiling after the call. "I was trying to cover my anger."
Padres miscellany
•Twenty-eight students from High Tech High Chula Vista's baseball program were guests of six Padres players Tuesday. The Padres players provided the bus and tickets for the group and met with them before the game as part of the Major League Baseball Players Trust's Buses for Baseball program.
•Eckstein has yet to strike out after 47 at-bats. Not only is that the best mark in the major leagues this season, it's the longest no-strikeout streak by a Padre since Tony Gwynn went 74 at-bats without striking out in 1998.
•Left-handed reliever Joe Thatcher pitched back-to-back games Sunday and Monday for the first time on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Portland. But he has allowed 10 baserunners in 4 2/3 innings over five outings.
•Chris Young will throw a bullpen session today, after which Black said the Padres will decide a course of action for the pitcher who has been on the disabled list since April 7 with shoulder tightness.
•Eckstein's walkoff homer was the Padres' second in a span of four games. Chase Headley ended Friday night's 6-3 win over Arizona with a three-run walkoff homer.
•Petco Park will host the Aflac All-Star Classic between the nation's top high school players Aug. 15 for the fourth time in five years.
•Single-A Lake Elsinore outfielder Dan Robertson has been named the California League Player of the Week for going 16-for-40.

sensing of disruptions of normal cell function and development due to either physical or chemical agents of the environment (the molecular-stress pathways) or the cell's own internal imbalance or errors in its synthetic activities (the checkpoint pathways). These pathways are widely present in single-celled eukaryotes (e.g., yeast) and even prokaryotic cells, as well as in animals. Several molecular-stress and checkpoint pathways are listed in Table 6-7 and illustrated in Appendix C.
Molecular-stress pathways are activated when the cell suffers some chemical alteration, such as damage to DNA (e.g., by X-ray, UV, or alkylating agents) or denaturation of proteins (e.g., by hyperosmotic conditions, oxidation, heat, or alcohol). The cell's signaled response is one of repair and homeostatic counteraction. In the case of the cytosolic unfolded protein pathway (previously called the "heat shock response"), chaperone proteins, such as Hsp90, help to refold denatured proteins, restoring their activity. These same chaperones play a folding role in the normal synthesis and deployment of intrinsically unstable proteins, such as cell-surface receptors. Recent experiments have suggested that if Hsp90 is partially disabled by mutation or overloaded by stress, variant proteins in some members of a population might be unable to fold correctly, resulting in developmental defects (Rutherford and Lindquist 1998). Another example would be the multidrug transport proteins (P-glycoprotein of mammals) that are induced in the presence of high drug levels and serve to export a wide variety of drugs from the cell.
In checkpoint pathways, the cell's response is one of delaying certain synthetic processes until other processes are complete. These controls are important in coordinating the timing and extent of cellular processes, such as ensuring the completion of DNA synthesis before mitosis begins or ensuring the attachment of chromosomes to the spindle before anaphase begins. An example of relevance to developmental toxicology is that when colchicine (a Vinca alkaloid) inhibits microtubule formation in a mitotic cell, the cell is prevented from initiating anaphase because of a checkpoint control pathway, which assesses the attachment of kinetochores to spindle microtubules (Rudner and Murray 1996). While chromosomes remain unattached, anaphase is not initiated. When the inhibitor is removed, the cells assemble a spindle and proceed with anaphase. Mutant cells have been isolated that lack components of the control (such as the MAD2 protein), and these cells initiate anaphase in the presence of colchicine, without a spindle. They suffer extensive aneuploidy.
Checkpoint and molecular-stress pathways work together. For example, damaged DNA inside the cell triggers various stress pathways, leading to DNA repair. During the repair, the checkpoint pathways delay DNA synthesis or mitosis until repair is complete. In the context of this committee's evaluation, there are two relevant points about those widely distributed pathways:
They offer possibilties for the detection and analysis of developmental toxicants, because they indicate the cell's state of stress in the presence of toxi-

Artist :: Michael Wandelmaier
Post by Sarah
As some of you may have noticed I am a fan of line based illustration in particular. Another big plus for me is when illustrators add something fresh to traditional techniques. Michael Wandelmaier from Toronto, Canada checks both those boxes: His penciled and inked lines are paired with a modern touch by color choice, settings and themes. I particularly love the warmth and depth that the coloring and its texture add to his works.
His website seems somewhat new and there is not a lot of info on the blog yet (there is a mention of an "illustration hiatus"), but I highly recommend keeping an eye on his work: Portfolio
More art inspiration!

I coach college tennis at a D3 school called Drew University. My top 2 guys for sure could play D1 as they were both 3 star level players. That being said, for the academic level of Drew there aren't many D1 programs that would offer full or even half-scholarships that a 3 star would get. We played a team this year that had 4 former D1 starters and of the 6 courts they played on, we won 5 of them. We are a good program that goes to nationals every year, but we aren't even nationally ranked. The bottom D1 schools are usually weaker academically and athletically and may or may not even offer scholarships. If you aren't at the level of going pro or getting a full ride to a good school, I would go to the best school that fits the academic, social, athletic, geographic, and financial needs. Academics, should take highest priority.

Worst Rental Experience Ever!!
The home was so horrible that all in my party wanted to leave immediately upon arrival. I telephoned the owner and told him we wanted to leave and he offered to send a house cleaner over. I said, "Are you kidding me?!? It would take weeks to get this place in decent shape!"
It backs up to a VERY noisy road that made sleeping in the master bedroom impossible. We bought earplugs after our first night there.
It is not in a safe area either. We witnessed a scary event in the middle of the night directly in front of the home.
The home is advertised as having cable television. The bill had not been paid, so we had no tv for two weeks. Not even local channels. The message "Your service has been interrupted" continually popped up. On the second day there, and second call to the owner, he told me that he would check into it. He never got back to me. I then emailed him about the issue and he never responded. I telephoned (and emailed) the owner MANY times after that and he never responded.
The owner told me after my first call to him that he "would speak to his partner about a partial refund". Of course, he never addressed the issue again. Upon returning home, I wrote to him and asked him what he decided on a refund. Guess what?!? No response!!!
My experience with this home AND owner was a total joke and a HUGE waste of money. The home was disgusting and I have photos to prove it that I would love to share!!
Again - WORST RENTAL EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!

Re: Cape Cod Marlin 23' refit
Fast is a relative thing. Clearly a properly handled, well designed modern boats will be faster on all points of sail and in all conditions.
But once you get past that kind of comparison, the Marlin was actually a pretty fast boat for its era and intent. The hull design is such that for a long keeled boat it has comparatively little wetted surface. As with many Herreschoff designs, its waterline was long for that era, its bow was comparatively fine, and the run and counter was straight, clean and close enough to the water to be helpful. These boats had a pretty good sized sail plan, and the original fractional rig was an easy rig to sail.
All of which is to say, these boats sail well and were comparatively fast for their day. And that performance can be improved over the boat in stock form and as you typically find them, by making sure that you have decent modern shaped sails, an efficient mainsheet and traveler, and a vang.
If properly set up, you would expect to be able to reliably average 2-3 knots in a moderate breeze, and perhaps 4 knots in a really solid wind. That may sound slow, but average speeds are deceptive since you either need to do stay close to the average speed reliably and consistently, or be able to sustain higher speeds for short bursts to offset the slower speeds in the averaging.
The one thing that I will say about boats like these are that they have comparatively small carrying capacities relative to their displacement. When yacht designers evaluate how much a boat can carry, they look at the displacement of the boat and the percent of its displacement it can carry before it becomes dramatically slower and more dangerous. The good news is that these boats have a pretty high displacement for their length. But the bad news is that the perentage of displacement that a boat can safely carry is mostly governed by the area of a boat's waterline plane. Boats like these have comparatively small waterline planes and so can tolerate a smaller percentage of their displacement as carrying capacity.
In other words, if you are going distancel cruising, you need to be disciplined about not overloading the boat with too much stuff. Years ago, the norm was to cruise very spartanly. But that expection has changed for most folks, and so there is an increased expectation about the sheer amount of stuff that people feel that they need to drag along. More and more, boats get loaded down with all kinds of gear either for 'safety' or in an attempt to approach all the comforts of home.
Neither approach is inherently right or wrong, but this type of boat does not permit the choice of cruising in a fashion which is 'just like home'.
Lastly, the Marlin was designed as a daysailer, overnighter, and when the cruiser version was built, it added a lot of weight which would further reduce excess carrying capacity and performance.
Great boats though.....

Well for $2 this is a 0.1% shunt reference (like a zener).

It needs a bias current (100uA to 15mA) though which could be as simple as a resistor to 12V (perhaps a lighter plug outlet) or you could get the 1.225V version and use a couple batteries with a resistor and a switch.
I'm also curious what hello has got.
Edit: I'll also add that as far as cheapies go the one I linked earlier is pretty damn good. Auto ranging, shuts off automatically, buzzer for continuity and it includes internal space for the (small) leads under a cover that doubles as a stand. It's ideal for throwing in a tool bag. When I've had it next to a fluke the accuracy has been near dead on.
The purchase I regretted was the $35 meter I bought. That one failed on me. Lesson learned. I'll try to stick to things that are either really good or really cheap. It's hard to go wrong that way.

Network storage if growing more popular each day, and thanks to that, there are countless NAS boxes to choose from. We take our first look at a QNAP offering, that proves you do get what you pay for. This single-bay NAS offers pure silence, a great feature-set and simple setup.
Once setup, all that is needed to access the web interface of the TS-109 Pro is to either type in the IP address of the NAS or the name. Either one will bring up the TS-109 Pro home page. From here we can choose to enter into the administration page to setup additional users, change permissions and fiddle with how the device functions by enabling and disabling features that you either want or do not want to use.
Also available here is the ability to logon using SSL, change your password, change the system language as well as enter into the various other functions of the TS-109 Pro including the web file manager, web server, multimedia station and download station. If you're familiar with our other reviews of the Synology boxes, you might recognize these features from there. Functionality and extras like the ones just mentioned seem to be the standard these days on higher end NAS boxes and we are glad to report that TS-109 Pro falls in well with similar devices on this front.
Logging into the TS-109 Pro's administration page using the default credentials or ones determined by you or your system administrator, presents us with this page. The different features are divided into eight different groups keeping likeminded settings in the same group.
Each group is given a symbol and those symbols can be clicked on to open up the different options available to each cluster of settings. We will skip over the first two groups. QNAP calls them quick configuration and system settings and seeing how we have already been through those in the initial setup of the TS-109 Pro, we don't see a need to get repetitive.
Starting with the network settings, it's here where we can change the TS-109 Pro's name, setup the date and time as well as character encoding and file systems. There are a lot of little settings that are changeable in the system settings group. This is a trend that will be continues in the other areas.
In the network settings page, we can change our IP settings, enable the built in services such as download station, multimedia station, FTP and MySQL. It should also be mentioned that the QNAP TS-109 Pro supports Jumbo Frame networks as well.
Under the device settings group, we can setup USB attached devices such as printers and hard drives as well as attached eSATA drives as well. One interesting feature built into the TS-109 Pro's software is the ability to scan the installed drive for bad sectors as well as run a check disk utility.
For those that will be using the TS-109 Pro in a multi-user network, the User management page might be your home away from home. It is here that you can setup users, create different groups and setup permissions for either to meet the needs of your network. The TS-109 Pro works with active directory networks as well saving the administrator the hassle of setting up users and groups, along with their permissions, all over again when the TS-109 Pro is introduced onto the network.
In the network share management page, we are given the ability to setup addition folders and also control who can view their contents and who is restricted. We see the default five folders but additional folders can be setup if the ones provided do not meet the needs of your network. The default folders are for the different functions of the TS-109 Pro with the Qdownload designated at the destination for downloads, Qmultimedia is where songs can be housed, Qusb is where devices attached via USB cables will dump their data and Qweb will house the web pages you setup should you decide to use the built in web server capabilities of the TS-109 Pro.
Under system tools we can setup the TS-109 Pro to email a specific account when any event takes place, restart the NAS if needed, backup and restore system settings, filter out unwanted IP addresses as well as enable a network recycle bin. This is by far the most interesting, and unique, feature of the TS-109 Pro in my opinion. By enabling the recycling bin, any file dumped from the NAS by any user, intentionally or unintentionally, can be retrieved by finding the missing file in the recycling bin folder.
If logs are what your into, you can monitor the activities of users on the TS-109 Pro, as well as hardware up time and reasons for down time by navigating to the event logs page. You can also sort the events by errors and warnings, errors only or if you have the time, you can display them all and find what you need that way.
Taking a look at a few of the built in features, we start with the FTP server. Operating like any other FTP, we see the available folders to browse, each with their unique contents. If we browse the public folder, we can see each of the contents available to grab. In our case, we navigated to our pictures folder.
We also went through and uploaded a few songs from the local PC. Our example was a pair of songs by Angels and Airwaves and the only gripe we encountered here was that we can only upload one file at a time. Batch uploads were not possible.
Getting to the multimedia station, this is where we can share photo albums with other users on the network. These pictures are housed in the Qmultimedia folder and will be seen in thumbnail form. We can setup permissions here as well, allowing users to control who sees their albums and who cannot.
There is also a very handy help page that can be loaded if any question arise about the TS-109 Pro. These pages are helpful and very informative.
In the download station, we are given the ability to setup torrent downloads or any standard FTP or HTTP download task that we might want. Working in tandem with downloadable software that allows local users to control the download stations settings, downloads can be setup to download without a PC ever having to get involved. The administrator can also control the amount of downloads allowed at each time, place a cap on the download rate (Kb/s) and also setup ports for the torrents.
As with the other areas of the TS-109 Pro, there is a built in help page that describes what the different settings mean and how they affect how the NAS works.
Finally, let's wrap the review up with my testing results and also my final thoughts.

I wish it didn't have to be that way. The bargain bin is already overflowing with efforts by bands who have overstayed their welcome. Why not reduce future clutter? Your place in rock history is certainly secure, what with you basically reinventing the sound of the electric guitar and influencing, like, every cool rock band in the past decade. You've released more than enough material to tide us over for years to come. Plus, the time and money that we would have spent on your concerts and new releases could go to the younger, more exciting bands you've always championed and mentored.
Please think about it, Sonic Youth. Calling it quits would allow you to spend more time with your kids, your spouses, your record labels and clothing companies and art exhibitions. Or you could just sit around reflecting on how cool you are. You must be tired after all these years. You deserve a long vacation. But everything I've said here should come as no surprise. After all, aren't you the band that told me to kill my idols?

Padres held to 4 hits, while shaky defense opens the door
Padres at Cardinals
Today: 5:15 p.m. at Busch Stadium. Padres RHP Jeff Suppan (2-2, 3.00 ERA) vs. Cardinals RHP Lance Lynn (6-1, 2.31 ERA).
On the air: Fox Sports San Diego; 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
ST. LOUIS Wisely, the Padres were keeping a secret from starting pitcher Edinson Volquez.
A few hours before he dealt with the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium, Major League Baseball announced that it was changing a Cameron Maybin error to a hit in a May 17 game with the Los Angeles Dodgers, adding two runs to Volquez's pitching ledger and goosing his earned-run average from 3.04 to 3.38.
"I don't want to be the one to tell him," said pitching coach Darren Balsley. "Actually, knowing him, he'll be fine with it. He's not really into numbers. Just wins."
Sad thing is, for the longest time Tuesday night, Volquez (2-4) was still losing despite the fact that he'd given up fewer runs to the Cardinals than he'd lost to the ruling reversal. Some shaky defensive play led to two more earned runs in the sixth, though, and a 4-0 win by the Cardinals.
"A little bit," said Volquez, asked about his clear frustration in the sixth inning. "But you can't complain. It's part of the game."
Ultimately, a first-inning double and single were all the offense St. Louis would need to beat the Padres, who mustered only four hits and struck out nine times against previously embattled right-hander Adam Wainwright in his first complete game since before Tommy John surgery in 2010.
"That was the Adam Wainwright I remember before he got hurt," said Padres catcher John Baker. "You watch video and he's had some rough outings to start the season. His velocity has been down. But I kind of had the feeling after the first inning, seeing 92s up there, that he was back and on his game. When you run into a guy like that on the top of his game. ... I think he looked like that for the first time this year."
If anything, Wainwright's performance should provide some encouragement for Padres left-hander Cory Luebke, who is having reconstructive surgery on his elbow today.
The injury-plagued Cardinals jumped on Volquez for a 1-0 lead almost immediately, but lost another player in the process. Matt Carpenter completed his one-out double in pain, leaving the game with a problem in his side, and replacement Daniel Descalso eventually scored the 34th run batted in by Rafael Beltran this season.
Descalso also scored the second run, albeit under unusual circumstances. Hit by a Volquez pitch to lead off the bottom of the sixth, Descalso was singled to third by Matt Holliday. Fielding a grounder by Beltran, first baseman Yonder Alonso stared down Descalso, then threw behind him to third base. Descalso broke for the plate and made it under Baker's tag.
"Kind of a funny play," said Baker. "High throw (from third baseman Andy Parrino), ball beats the guy there, but the throw's high and he slides in. I thought my foot was in front of home plate and it got knocked back just enough to get his foot in, apparently. If that was anybody's fault, it was mine, for not being far enough in front of home plate and try to make the tag that way."

LAKE ELSINORE: Shop dedicated to survival
The shop, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., can be reached by calling 951-245-3920 and its website is www.protectivebunkers.com.
Even before the Jacklings held an opening celebration late last month, they said, the shop was attracting numerous browsers and they believe interest in disaster preparedness is escalating.
"The way things have been going lately, it's making people want to be preparing more than they have been," Rachel Jackling said.
And, she noted, it's not always wise to depend on the government, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"I just want people to be prepared and not wait for FEMA," she said.
