By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
It's no secret that the newspaper industry has seen changes in the past two decades. Most experts point to the emergence of the Internet and cable news as two factors which have shaped how readers, particularly younger readers are staying informed.
Those changes have been felt by the newspaper industry. For decades, newspaper circulation in the United States has dropped or remained constant while the total number of households has risen at a nearly constant rate.
In 1940, there were nearly 35 million households in the U.S. and more than 41 million newspapers printed daily, according to figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau and Editor and Publisher Yearbook. By 1970, there were more than 63 million households reading a daily newspaper circulation of just over 62 million.
Since that time, however, the difference between the number of households and the daily circulation has grown. By 1990, the number of households had grown to more than 93 million and the daily circulation had remained constant just above 62 million.
By 2000, daily circulation declined to less than 56 million while the number of households had grown to more than 104 million. In 2004, daily circulation was estimated at less than 54 million, with an estimated 112 million U.S. households.
A report released earlier this year by Scarborough Research demonstrated the declining readership of newspapers since 1999. While newspaper readership stayed strongest among readers above 65, the reports showed that newspaper readership overall has dropped. For readers ages 18 to 24, readership dropped from 42 percent to 37 percent. Readership among a slightly older audience, ages 25 to 34, showed a more dramatic decline from 44 percent to 37 percent.
And while it would appear that as the population grows, readership would increase, the opposite is true. Statistics show that as non-readers age, the number of readers in the older age brackets falls.
One factor - education - seems to promote readership. Spanning age groups, ethnicity and all other factors, research shows that the more education readers receive, the more likely they are to read newspapers.
Scarborough Research again reported earlier this year that 49 percent of high school graduates read newspapers in an average week. For those who had some college education but no degree, 54 percent read newspapers weekly, increasing to 58 percent for readers with a college degree. Those numbers continue to climb with post graduate education, where 62 percent of those with post graduate education read a newspapers weekly, increasing to 66 percent for those with a post graduate degree.
The current trend among newspapers is to reach out to younger audiences and turn teenagers and young adults into lifelong readers.
Teenage readers in the U.S. represent a $158 billion market. Because most of these teens live with their parents, much of this money is disposable income. While teenage spending power is much smaller than older groups, teens have much more flexibility in their spending, with a larger percentage going to pleasure than other age groups. As businesses seek to market products to this audience, newspapers and printed publications remain one of the best media available for advertising.
Although more teens are going online to get their news, few online advertising models have been shown to be effective. That is because web users tend to ignore online ads, which often are intrusive as they flash and pop up.
A study commissioned by the Newspaper Association of America last year found that exposure in the classroom leads to lifelong newspaper readership. Without exposure to newspapers in school, an average of 38 percent of those surveyed are lifelong readers. With exposure in school, 62 percent become lifelong readers.
Because the use of newspapers in the classroom promotes lifelong readership, many newspapers participate in the Newspapers in Education initiative. In Carbon and Emery counties, local sponsors provide the financial backing to place hundreds of newspapers each week in each school in both counties. These newspapers generally are consumed in a single classroom and become part of the curriculum for a select group of students.
Unfortunately, newspapers are not part of the standard curriculum for social studies, reading, math or other academic areas. As a result, the use of newspapers in the classroom is hitting a smaller number of teens.
Those figures are not unique to the Castle Valley. Nationwide, 23 percent of teenage readers say they had formal exposure to newspapers in the classroom. An additional 45 percent say they had some exposure, but that newspapers were not a large part of the curriculum.
Part of the reason for the lack of newspaper use as part of the curriculum is the current trend in education which places its emphasis on preparing students to take assessment tests. In Utah, students prepare to take the Utah Performance Assessment System for Students, or UPASS test each spring. The test determines students' achievement based on state curriculum standards. The results of standardized tests, such as UPASS assessments are part of the basis for determining each school or district's performance under the No Child Left Behind Act which was passed by federal lawmakers in 2002.
Teachers, librarians and school administrators around Carbon County School District agreed that newspaper use in the classroom was limited to a select group of teachers. The general consensus was that because the state-mandated curriculum is so rigid, teachers often have difficulty using newspapers and other outside resources in the classroom.
That isn't to say that newspapers aren't being used at all, however. Students and teachers alike take advantage of newspapers available in each school's media center. At both Carbon High School and Mont Harmon Junior High, media center staff indicated that some newspapers never reach the library because they are intercepted by faculty or students prior to reaching the media center.

House Ethics Committee Holds Hearing On Rep. Maxine Waters

Maxine Waters (D-CA) and her Chief of Staff and grandson Mikael Moore, in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill September 21, 2012 in Washington, DC. The long-running investigation found that Waters did not commit an ethics violaiton when her office in late 2008 set up a meeting with top Treasury Department officials on behalf of a bank Williams owned stock in, at a time when the bank faced possible collapse because of the financial crisis. However, Moore was issued a letter of reproval for three ethics violations for trying to help the bank. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — The rolling crises of the past six years may be a permanent feature of the global economy. The main cause is lack of a sound global regulatory structure to oversee the globalization of financial capital.
The solution is either reversing financial globalization or setting up a global super regulator. As neither is likely in the foreseeable future, the world will continue to suffer crisis one after another.
The bursting of the BRICS bubble is the main source of instability in 2013. Because interest rates are low everywhere, this bursting is happening in slow motion, confusing financial markets. As the months pass, the picture will become clear.
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.

The global economy is likely to be dragged into recession again.
The Cyprus effect
The impact of the crisis in Cyprus is almost like a butterfly effect. It is so tiny that one cannot imagine it having a global impact. Yet, its crisis has dented global markets to the tune of trillions of dollars, hundreds of times the direct cost of the crisis.
This demonstrates the inherent instability of the global financial system. A small change in perception can lead to big price moves on financial markets.
The troika solution to the Cyprus problem breaks two taboos regarding financial bailouts of the past five years. It wipes clean the rescued banks' senior creditors and gives large depositors a serious haircut. If creditors and depositors adjust their risk assessment, weak banks around the world could go under, taking down the global economy.
Imagine that Italians were withdrawing all their deposits, would the European Central Bank be forced into guaranteeing all deposits? The expectation for that is preventing people from taking their money out. Hence, the bailout expectation is the key to stability. The global financial system is so flawed that its stability depends on implicit government guarantees. Unfortunately, such guarantees ensure that such weaknesses persist. The vicious cycle keeps the global financial system permanently unstable.
Even if the chance of this is small, the consequent price adjustment in the global financial markets is significant.
The global financial system is holding major central banks and governments hostage. The Cyrus bailout addresses one serious flaw in today's financial system — the under pricing of risk due to implicit government guarantees.
When a weak bank offers high interest rates to attract creditors and depositors, that latter are enticed because they assume government bailouts will prevent them from suffering losses. Hence, weak banks can survive by raising interest rates.
They are incentivized to gamble in a high-risk investment. If they are lucky, they survive. If not, they fail, as they would anyway. Such a vicious cycle deepens the cost of a final bailout. Hence, the Cyrus solution puts creditors and depositors on notice. It should be a very healthy development.
The impact of the financial crisis in tiny Cyprus reminds us that governments and central banks are beholden to the global financial system. When they try to remove a flaw in the system, the resulting market reaction can bring down the whole house.
Imagine that Italians were withdrawing all their deposits, would the European Central Bank be forced into guaranteeing all deposits? The expectation for that is preventing people from taking their money out. Hence, the bailout expectation is the key to stability.
The global financial system is so flawed that its stability depends on implicit government guarantees. Unfortunately, such guarantees ensure that such weaknesses persist. The vicious cycle keeps the global financial system permanently unstable.
The triple flaws
Three fundamental flaws in the global financial system reinforce each other and keep the global financial system on a knife's edge.
First, central banks believe that, in addition to price stability, monetary policy is a tool for promoting growth and underwriting financial stability. The triple targets lead to exaggerated volatility in monetary policy, which creates opportunities for speculation.
The proliferation of speculators amplifies the impact of monetary policy on financial markets. The central banks and speculators have developed an unhealthy mutual dependence. It works in the short term and leads to crisis over time.
For example, the top Fed officials openly speak of the stimulus effect of its monetary policy through asset inflation. This is essentially boosting demand by creating asset bubbles. Central bankers would have kept such thoughts hidden a decade ago. Now they have gone mainstream. Have Alan Greenspan's bubble economics won?
Second, financial institutions are woefully short of capital. Many big banks claim that they have too much capital, 11% to 15%, significantly above the Basel II requirement of 8%. But, the assets are adjusted below 100% when calculated for capital requirement according to risk weighting.
On average, the risk weighting is only 50%. And of the 8% capital requirement, only half is required to be equity capital. The current rule essentially allows $2 of equity capital to hold $100 of assets, a leverage of fifty times.
The global financial markets can easily move 2% in a matter of days. The regulated financial system essentially operates on virtually no capital. Their shares behave like options. This is why bank stocks are so volatile.
For example, euro zone banks hold assets over three times the area's total gross domestic product. How could such a large banking system be adequately capitalized? Hence, until the euro zone banks shrink dramatically, say, 50%, the euro zone will not be stable.
Third, the operators within the global financial system play with other people's money (OMP). They are paid big when the bets work out and suffer no downside when the bets fail. Hence, there is an inherent bias for high volatility or beta assets. This is why they are so sensitive to monetary policy. The later produces volatility. Hence, huge amounts of money are in macro sensitive assets.

The question of private schools
Posted June 9, 2012on:
- In: Events | Uncategorized
- 1 Comment
Last month I attended a fascinating discussion about the Finnish school system by Pasi Sahlberg, author of Finnish Lessons, an account of how Finland created one of the most successful school systems in the world. In this brief extract from Pasi's talk, he explains how, in order to create a high quality universal system, the Finns had, first, to abolish private and selective education, which created an unacceptable gap in achievement. This then prompted me to ask a question……… read on.
1 Response to "The question of private schools"
I have very great sympathy with this view. But the point about Finland (setting aside the huge differences between Finish & British society) is that it has integrated different pedagogical philosophies into the "maintained sector". I have some interest in Montessori, Steiner, Froebel school systems. In spite of Gove's promises (something close to the promise of a netted herring that it'll not to be smoked!) I see little or no sign of this any more than previous governments allowing schools to prove themselves in their own terms (& to the satisfaction of parents & young people). If you consign "private" schools (& many operate charitably – often to far greater extent than most people know) to the dust-bin of history under present conditions, you end up with a narrow-track system carrying vehicles doctored by incompetent politicians who know next to nothing about the realities of education than they about engine maintenance. They base their interference on what (they think) worked for them & the sagacious idiocy of papers like the Mail. There has to be some REAL space for innovation & alternative models

Makeup Tutorial: False Eyelashes
Master the art of choosing and applying eye sexifying false lashes -- once and for all -- with this easy-to-follow makeup tutorial
1. Let your eye makeup be your guide. If you're going for a smoky eye, then you need a dark, dramatic set of lashes, otherwise they won't show up. Basically, the darker the eye makeup, the darker your lashes should be.
2. If you want to open up your eyes or have wide-set eyes, look for lashes that are longer in the center.
3. If you have close-set eyes, look for lashes that are longer at the outer corners to make the distance look wider.
4. If you want a more natural look with just some lift, try a half-strip of lashes and apply them on the outer half of your eyes.
5. Look for lashes that vary in length for a more natural look. Lashes that are all one length and stick straight up will give you a mod '60s look -- which is fine if that's what you're going for, otherwise it can look dated and fake.

I feel lucky that I do not have to wear false eyelashes. They look nice when applied properly, but they can still ruin your regular lashes.

Corduroy Wedge Pillow 7 7
Where in the World Can I Find a Wedge Pillow? We have had a wedge pillow that was handed down from my Mom [I'm 73] that is used for support while reading in bed. It is, as you might imagine, starting to show some wear and tear. Some months ago I started to "shop" for a replacement, but had not found anything that remotely resembled or came close to the size, shape, and quality of our pillow. Low and behold along came the Vermont Country Store catalog and to my amazement there was what I hoped was to be my new pillow. I thought the price was a bit high, but I felt if the quality was there then so be it. I ordered it online and within a few days I unwrapped the pillow and found that it was just what I had been hoping for. I was surprised at the weight -- very solid and of a product that maintains its shape. Now the price doesn't seem out of line. Anyway we are very please with the whole experience. January 9, 2014
PERFECT FOR BED This has helped me to sleep so much better since I have a terrible issue with acid reflux. The quality of the materials and workmanship, along with the design is great as I can still snuggle with my husband as we sleep. October 9, 2013
It is just okay. I was hoping for something a bit higher, but it is okay. March 26, 2013
Why didn't I get this sooner? This wedge pillow has made it possible to stretch out in comfort on my sofa. Before the arm was too low to do it. It looks good, so I can just leave it there. Having a different place to nap is making my back hum. January 4, 2013
Perfect for after surgery! My 16 year old daughter had knee surgery this past summer and was stuck on the couch in a machine that moved her knee back and forth all day for several weeks. I bought this wedge pillow and it was perfect for her recovery! She was able to sleep, read, watch tv in comfort with this pillow on the couch and it never flattened. Just as advertised! And no sore back! It will head off to college with her next year and I am sure she will enjoy it for years to come! November 7, 2012
Wedge pillow It is just what I have been looking for,it met all my expectations. Excellent packaging and service. September 17, 2012
Filling I don't like foam filling and didn't realize that it was foam filled, but too heavy to mess with sending back. I also found it too "short" to support me as a triangle pillow. I use it kinda sideways--------------- September 13, 2012

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Corduroy Wedge Pillow …

Boca Raton Real Estate
Boca Raton is a luxurious resort community with endless beaches, lavish estates, and an exotic atmosphere. For many, Boca Raton luxury real estate is the only option worth considering in South Florida. With enchanting night life, entertainment in Boca revolves around leisure sports, outstanding dining, and upscale shopping. Unmatched grace and sophistication are experienced in beautiful Boca Raton, embodying the exclusive lifestyle envisioned by Addison Mizner on South Florida's enchanting Gold Coast.
One of the city's most famous landmarks, the magnificent Mizner-designed, pink-towered Boca Raton Resort & Club built in 1926 is one of the nation's premier resorts, presiding over a sublime stretch of Boca Raton's two-mile-long beachfront.
History Of Boca Raton & Its Elegant Venetian Architecture
The colorful Spanish phrase, "boca de ratones", gave rise to the city's name. First populated by Calusa Indians, the area also attracted settlers who traveled to Boca Raton from the Carolinas and Georgia, giving rise predominantly to the magnificent Architecture. In the 1920s, notable Palm Beach architect, Addison Mizner, bought thousands of acres after visiting Boca Raton, intending to develop the area into a new Venice, Italy. Shortly after, Mizner completed the Cloister Inn, a city landmark now known as the Boca Raton Resort and Club, some of the most coveted Boca Raton homes for sale.
Throughout the course of the later century in Boca Raton, Mizner's style gave rise to a unique style of architecture ubiquitous throughout the city. His Modish style between elegant Georgian and Venetian architecture was replicated in construction throughout the decades, giving the city of Boca Raton a unified aesthetic. The predominant colors used in Boca Raton's architecture are light pastels with predominantly pink tints—as it was Mizner's preferred color.
Opulent Living In The Quintessential Gold Coast City
Now days, various technology industries call the Boca Raton area home, and its population runs towards the affluently style-conscious. Elaborate shopping venues, stunning beachfront parks, innovative restaurants, and an atmosphere of cultivated leisure appeals to locals, while those on vacation in Boca Raton are enticed by the spectacle and realization that the good life exists indeed.
Along with Mizner's sublime design of the pink-towered, opulent Boca Raton Resort & Club, much of the magnificent homes for sale in Boca Raton along the two-mile-long beachfront, are equally as enchanting. In fact, Boca Raton real estate accommodates the most discerning requirements with an extraordinary array of options for every preference:
- Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club presents Boca Raton's prestigious signature address
- The Sanctuary is distinguished as an internationally acclaimed yachting enclave
- The historic Estate Section maintains its legacy as the jewel in the crown of Boca Raton.
Luxury real estate is also available in prestigious country club communities and estate enclaves.
If you're looking for exclusive condominiums that command an ocean view and miles of white-speckled beaches or tranquil views of Lake Boca Raton, there's also an exclusive number of luxury condominiums situated both on the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Boca Raton that offer the ultimate in lavish amenities.
Boca Raton's rich history, elegant Venetian architecture, white-sand beaches, and high-end shopping all embody its lavishness and desirability as a premiere destination on the Florida's Gold Coast. Premier Estate Properties Represents Boca Raton's Most Prestigious Communities Including:

Consumers haven't yet weighed in on whether the Nokia Lumia will be some serious competition for Android phones (let alone Apple's iPhone), but now that a Red Bull app is in the works, it looks like the Nokia/Microsoft partnership might get a nice boost.
Red Bull just announced that it will release the World of Red Bull app exclusively in a Windows Phone 8 version for the Lumia and Nokia's Series 40 debuting later this year. The Red Bull app lets you pull your favorite content, Red Bull athletes and stories into a customizable platform. The app, also known as "My Red Bull," has a nice mapping feature for spontaneous meetups.
This is a big deal because developers aren't yet clamoring to create apps for Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 OS. Since the Nokia phones that run on that OS haven't caught on with consumers, developers are slow to do the app designing.
Microsoft is trying to help the stalemate by paying developers to give some attention to Windows Phone 8-version apps. But they've got a huge mountain to climb. Apple's App Store inventory totals more than 700,000 apps and Google Play has crossed the 600,000 mark for Android devices. Microsoft is the laggard at 100,000. Still, that's a pretty good start for a brand new system on a limited number of devices.
What do you think? Would a Red Bull app (and more like it to come) be enough incentive to consider switching to a Windows Phone 8 device?

Joana Vasconcelos is a working artist who enjoys creating art in many different mediums. I like several of the different things that she's done but of course it is her crochet art that has captured my interest most. All of her work, including her crochet work, weaves together themes of womanhood, femininity, strength, and societal roles. This art challenges people to look at what defines women and women's art and to question any assumptions made about those things. I think that this is an important issue for crochet artists today since crochet is typically considered a woman's craft and may not be given equality in the art world despite its popularity in culture and fashion.
About Crochet Artist Joana Vasconcelos
- According to the bio on her website, Joana Vasconcelos was born in Paris in 1971 but moved to Portugal where she now does her artwork. She studied visual art at the college level. Her website shows a portfolio of her work dating back as far as 1994.
- Vasconcelos gained a lot of media attention a few years back when she made a stunning chandelier out of tampons. The work was actually quite intriguing even though it's not what I'm most interested in from her portfolio.
- Much of the crochet work that she has done is large scale. Lovely Textiles points out that it has its roots in sculpture art. She has even been called "the sculptress of crochet". One of her methods is that she takes sculptures and covers them in crochet.
- There are two main factors that make Vasconcelos' exhibition engaging and exciting. One is the technical skill involved in her magical enveloping of cotton crochet, the other, is the eclectic taste for different materials: from fabric to ceramic, to plastic, tiles and rubber." (source)
- "She also uses the crochet work to draw the viewer in (it's often said that the average person spends about 30 seconds in front of a piece of art). According to Joana, "Handcraft gives you three things: time, repetition, and then, when things are repeated over and over again, they become abstract." She thinks of the crochet as a drawing or pattern on the work." (source)
Examples of Joana's crochet art
The crochet art that I first noticed was her work using crochet doilies. I found it interesting because white doilies are such a stereotypical object representing the outdated culture of crochet. In other words, that's what we think of as "grandma's crochet". And yet, Vasconcelos pairs this with objects that aren't old (like computers) or feminine (like bulls) for a really intriguing effect. Take a look:
I also enjoy the sculptures that she does that include crochet work over them that aren't in the form of just white doilies:
She also has some interested felted and wool work. It's not necessarily all crochet work but it's in the same family. The colors are what attracts me to these pieces:
Question of the day
Vasconcelos urges us to take the "women's craft" of crochet seriously as an art form. What are your thoughts about this issue?

Submission 71 Percent of U.S. See Humans On Mars By 2033-> 2
astroengine writes: "In a recent poll funded by the non-profit Explore Mars, 71% of respondents agreed that the US will send a human to Mars within the next two decades. Unfortunately, on average, the sample of 1,101 people surveyed thought the US government allocated 2.4% of the federal budget to NASA — in reality it's only 0.5%. With this in mind, 75% of the respondents agreed/strongly agreed that NASA's budget should be increased to explore Mars through manned and robotic means."

LOWVILLE The Lewis County Hospital Foundation is seeking a new executive director.
I think for the right person, this could be an outstanding opportunity, said D. Ross Wachowski, a foundation board member heading the search.
The nonprofit foundation, created in 2001 to help raise funds for capital projects, equipment purchases and other expenses at the county-owned hospital, has been led by Timothy W. OConnor since he was named its first director in 2005.
He got us started, said Mr. Wachowski, the director of human resources at Climax Packaging Co., Lowville.
However, Mr. OConnor has decided to retire and is working on a part-time basis until a new, full-time director can be brought in.
We see this as an opportunity to bring in someone with new ideas, Mr. Wachowski said.
Candidates do not necessarily need to have extensive experience, and the position could provide a fantastic learning opportunity for someone interested in the marketing and business field, Mr. Wachowski said.
The foundation director reports directly to hospital CEO Eric R. Burch and provides regular updates to its board.
Anticipated duties would include organizing community fundraising events, soliciting donations from hospital vendors, area companies and community residents, securing grant funding, establishing and administering a planned giving program, maintaining financial records and bank accounts and ensuring the community understands the foundations mission.
Candidates are to have at least a bachelors degree in business, marketing, sales or a related field and one to three years of experience in a sales or marketing role, preferably with a non-profit organization.
They should also offer strong communication and advanced interpersonal skills, an aggressive and engaging personality, ability to multi task, attention to detail, a high level of integrity and commitment to the foundation and hospital.
The position features an annual salary range from $28,000 to $36,000, with the potential for up to an additional $20,000 in performance-based bonuses.
Resumes may be submitted by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications will be accepted through mid-April.

Unless stated otherwise, all information included here applies to Microsoft Windows Code-Named "Longhorn," Microsoft Windows Code-Named "Longhorn" for Itanium-based systems, and Microsoft Windows Code-Named "Longhorn" for 64-bit extended systems.
How to use these notes
Microsoft recommends that you check whether any of these notes apply to your specific setup. Click the topics to verify whether there is any important information that might apply.

Therefore, entry points for CD writing (such as the CD Writing Wizard and the Copy to Audio CD task) are not available in the "Longhorn" Shell. To turn on write support (for example, to turn on Format and Close Session) for UDF media types in the "Longhorn" Shell, set the DisableUDFWritesInShell DWORD value to 0 in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\CD Burning

? Scheduled tasks are run in isolated sessions in the context of a specific user and can be run in either interactive or non-interactive mode. The Task Scheduler service will run all tasks for a specific user's context in the mode that is specified by the first task that is run.

GetLastError: The parameter is incorrect.
After you receive these error messages, the Adobe PDF Printer is unavailable. By using Adobe PDF Printer, you can convert documents to Adobe PDF format by printing to the Adobe PDF Printer from the program that you use to create the document.
This issue occurs because Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional and Standard Setup look for an earlier version of Windows and do not install correctly when the earlier version of Windows is not detected.
To work around this problem, use Print, Print to File, or Save As on the File menu to save a PostScript (.ps) file by using an installed PostScript printer. Then open the PostScript (.ps) file in Adobe Acrobat Distiller to create the Adobe PDF file.
Note The PDF files that you create in this way are black and white.
For additional information about Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional and Standard, visit the following Adobe Web site:
Fax and printing
? Printing on AMD64-based computers is not yet functional.
? When you use Outlook Express to send a new fax, only one page of text is sent as part of the coversheet. Coversheet text that not does fit on a single coversheet page will not be sent with the fax. This does not affect attachments to the fax.
Network and communications
? The TCP/IP stack has been completely rewritten for "Longhorn." There are some limitations in this release: ? TCP Large Send offload & Checksum offload is temporarily disabled regardless of the offload capabilities of your network adapter.
? The Packet Scheduler (Psched) is on but will not shape traffic flows.
? Domain Name Service (DNS) netsh commands are not yet available.
? Teredo (IPv6 NAT traversal technology) is not yet available for the "Longhorn" TCP/IP stack.
? By default, Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Inter-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) and 6to4 support is not enabled. Additionally, off-subnet IPv4 static routes are not handled correctly and must be manually added by using the netsh command after your computer starts. You can use default IPv4 routes to off-subnet addresses by manually adding the route. To do this, use the netsh command after your computer starts. Microsoft recommends that you stop the SharedAccess service if you plan to use ISATAP or 6to4. Additionally, the 6to4 service must be started to use 6to4.
? By default, Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) is turned on for all network interfaces. By default, ICF permits all outbound network traffic, but unsolicited inbound network connections are blocked. Therefore, your computer cannot act as a server unless you configure the firewall to open the required ports for the appropriate services or applications. For example, file or print sharing requires TCP ports 139 and 445, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports 137, 138, and 445 to be open. To open ports in ICF, follow these steps: 1. In Control Panel, open Network and Internet Connections.
2. Click Network Connections.
3. Right-click the connection where you want to open ports, and then click Properties.
4. On the Advanced tab, click Settings.
5. Click Add to open a new port.
6. In the Description box, type a friendly name. For example, type File Sharing : Port 445.
7. In the Name or IP address of the computer hosting this service on your network box, type 127.0.0.1.
Note You can specify the IP address of an internal computer. However, typically it is best to use the IP address 127.0.0.1.
8. In the External port and Internal port boxes, type the port number. Generally this number is the same for both boxes. For example, type 445 in both boxes.
9. Click either TCP or UDP, and then click OK.
10. Repeat this process for each port to be opened.
? ICF does not block or filter IPv6 network traffic in this pre-release product. IPv6 filtering will be enabled in a future release of "Longhorn."
? ICF is not available on "Longhorn" for Itanium-based Systems and "Longhorn" for 64-bit Extended Systems. This issue will be addressed in a future release of "Longhorn."
? ICF does not prevent instant messaging with Microsoft MSN Messenger or Microsoft Windows Messenger, but other Messenger features may be affected. For example, voice and video features work for administrators only. Additionally, File Transfer is blocked for all users. These issues will be addressed in a future release of "Longhorn."
? When ICF is turned on, H.323/LDAP proxy functionality is not supported in this release of "Longhorn." Therefore, Microsoft Windows NetMeeting may not work.
? When ICF is turned on, you cannot run a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client in active mode or host an FTP server in passive mode. This will be addressed in a future release of "Longhorn."
? When ICF is turned on, you will not automatically receive notifications of new e-mail messages in Outlook 2002. This will be addressed in a future release of "Longhorn." To work around this problem, click Send/Receive (or press F5) to look for new e-mail or to turn on polling mode by editing the registry. For additional information about how to turn on polling mode in the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
305572 OL2002: You Cannot Receive New E-mail Notifications in Environments That Use the Network Address Translation
? When you sign in to both MSN and Window Messenger by using four different accounts on two computers, Remote Access does not work from one computer to the other.
Security and privacy
? To obtain security patches for this pre-release product, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
? When you install this pre-release product for x86 systems, Windows Setup will assign a blank (or null) password to the administrator account. Although you can log on locally with this account, the administrator account and any other local user accounts that have blank passwords cannot be accessed by a remote user through a network connection to your computer. This helps to protect your computer from attacks over the network. To help make local access to your computer secure, set a password on the local administrator account and any other user accounts. To do this, open User Accounts in Control Panel. Microsoft recommends that you set a strong password. For information about strong passwords, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
? Multiple Outlook Express 7 users on the same computer can see each other's e-mail messages.
? For this pre-release product, Microsoft's Next-Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB) emulation will not work on multi-processor computers or on 64-bit computers. You must use a single-processor, 32-bit computer to use NGSCB emulation. For additional information about NGSCB, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
? For this pre-release product, NGSCB emulation will not run if you use the /3GB or /PAE switches in your Boot.ini file. That is, providing 3 gigabytes (GB) of memory for applications or enabling "36-bit" addresses by using Physical Address Extension prevents the NGSCB emulator from starting. To work around this problem, remove the /3GB and /PAE switches from your Boot.ini file.
? Interrupting NGSCB configuration can result in inaccessible devices. When you configure NGSCB on your computer, the Configuration tool (Ngconfig.exe) catalogs all the Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices that are on the computer. This process can take up to 5 minutes. If this process is interrupted by starting the NGSCB services from the command line, any devices that are currently being configured (and any devices that are waiting to be configured) may not respond. If you have problems using USB devices under NGSCB, restart your computer, clear the current NGSCB configuration (by running Ngconfig /clear), and then reconfigure your computer for NGSCB (by running Ngconfig /config). Wait until all New Hardware Device Found dialogs are complete, and then start the NGSCB emulation (by running Ngconfig /start).
? Managed code applications that use the new Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) model should not expose security sensitive state or methods whose execution can cause damaging effects on the computer. Additionally, clients should not call WMI probes of applications that are not trusted because WMI probes impersonate the calling client.
? When you use Wmimgen.exe version 1.0, you may receive the following error message:
[MyAssembly, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=en-US, PublicKeyToken=50853b6922572178:]
Note You may receive this message even if the assembly contains instrumentation attributes.
Additionally, an empty manifest may be created. To work around this problem, make sure the assembly is not being loaded from a network drive or from a share. You must also make sure that WMI can create an instance of the class in the assembly by placing the Probe attribute on either a constructor or a static accessor.
? When you use the /set switch or the /invoke switch with Wmicmd.exe version 1.0, you may receive the following error message:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: s
You can ignore this error message. The value is correctly modified by the /set switch. To verify that the value is modified, use the /get switch on the corresponding Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
? When you use the /get switch with Wmicmd.exe version 1.0 to retrieve a probe from a running program or service, you may receive the following error message even if the URI is defined in the catalog:
IPC call failed:IpcFailure
The attributed code that implements the probe may throw an exception, but Wmicmd.exe does not report the exception to the console. Make sure that the code is functioning correctly. The probe may be returning an array of complex objects that are not serializable. For example, you may experience this problem if the probe uses the following pattern to return an array of instances of the class MyObject from a collection object: [Probe(ResultType=typeof(MyObject))]
public object[] GetArray() {
return contents.ToArray();
To work around this issue, create a wrapper object as follows: [Probe]
public ArrayObject GetArray() {
return new ArrayObject(contents.ToArray());
public class ArrayObject {
public object [] data;
public ArrayObject () {}
public ArraryObject (object [] data) {this.data = data;}

? When you use the /get switch with Wmicmd.exe version 1.0 to retrieve a probe, you may receive the following error message even if the URI is defined in the catalog:
The specified URI cannot be found/reached
The attributed code that implements the probe may have thrown an exception, but Wmicmd.exe does not report the exception to the console. Make sure that your code is functioning correctly.
? When you use the /get switch with Wmicmd.exe version 1.0, a non-empty list of instance IDs may be returned even if no instances are currently running when you use the enumerator URI (such as #System/MyApp/MyId=*). This behavior occurs when an instance of attributed program did not shut down correctly and was not able to call System.Management.Instrumentation.Application.Unre gister(). To work around this issue, delete the subkeys for the program from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\Instrum entation\ApplicationROT
Software development
? You cannot install Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and Microsoft Visual Java ++ 6.0. This issue occurs because Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Java ++ 6.0 look for a Windows version that is equal to Windows XP.
To install Visual Studio 6.0 from a CD-ROM, follow these steps: 1. In Windows Explorer, locate Setup.exe on Disk 1 of the Visual Studio 6.0 CD-ROM disk set.
2. Right-click Setup.exe, and then click Properties.
3. Click Other properties, and then click Compatibility.
4. Click Run this program in compatibility mode for, and then click Windows XP.

? When you run Visual Studio code that calls the Contact Picker dialog box, you receive the following error message:
Runtime Error!
Program: This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
To work around this problem, follow these steps: 1. Create the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Visual Studio\8.0\vsproject
2. In this key, create a DisableHostingProcess string value and set its value data to 1.
? You receive a build error when you try to build a project that calls the TrustComputeDigest function from C++ source code. To work around this problem, move the TrustComputeDigest function call to a file that has a .c extension or rename the C++ (.cpp) file that has a .c file name extension. To do this, right-click the file in the Solution Explorer window in Visual Studio, rename the file name extension from cpp to c, and then rebuild your project. C++ callers will be supported in a future release of "Longhorn."
? Unhandled managed exceptions are not reported to the debugger in mixed (interop) debugging mode. For example, when the following C# program is debugged in mixed (interop) debugging mode with Visual Studio, the debugger is not notified that an unhandled exception is hitublic class bug
public static void Main(string[] args)
throw new System.Exception();

When this issue occurs, the debugging session quits, and the debugger output window contains text indicating the program has exited. This issue occurs in the following scenarios: ? You run your debugger on "Longhorn" and debug, in mixed mode, a program running on the same computer.
? You run your debugger on another operating system and remotely debug, in mixed mode, a program running on "Longhorn."
Note If you debug the same program on another Windows operating system the debugger correctly stops and reports that an unhandled exception is thrown. Additionally, unhandled native exceptions are correctly reported to the debugger when you debug a program running on "Longhorn.".
This issue will be fixed in the Common Language Runtime (CLR) included with later versions of "Longhorn." To work around this issue, use the appropriate method:
Method 1: Run the debugger in native, or managed only, mode
If mixed (interop) debugging is not needed, run the debugger in managed only or native debugging mode. Native and managed only debugging modes correctly report unhandled exceptions on "Longhorn."
Method 2: Enable breaking into the debugger when managed exceptions are thrown
If mixed (interop) debugging is necessary, enable breaking into the debugger when managed exceptions are thrown. When an exception is thrown in the program the debugger gets notified and a ?1st chance exception? dialog will be displayed. You can then break into the program. The "1st chance exception" dialog will be correctly displayed for all exceptions thrown in a program. You must manually detect if the exception will be handled or not by looking at the source code of the program. If the managed exception will not be handled and you continue execution, then the debugging session will stop. If the exception will be handled, program execution continues. To enable breaking into debugger on "1st chance exceptions" with Visual Studio, follow these steps: 1. Start debugging your program.
2. Click Debug, and then click Exceptions.
3. In the Exceptions dialog box, click to select the Common Language Runtime Exceptions check box to stop the debugger when a managed exception is thrown.

Editor's Note: We recently asked students on our Facebook wall for their suggestions on how to have a successful semester. Here are some responses, all of them great ideas in easily digestible pieces that range from using an app to the extremes of going off the grid entirely. Check these suggestions out and see if any of them work for you.
- Make a to do list of smaller, specific tasks so even if things like traffic (or Netflix) prevent you from getting the whole list done, you can still feel accomplished about all the tasks you were able to check off. ~ Chloe Pooler, NIU Business student
- I use the SelfControll app for my computer. I block websites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Buzzfeed, PGA, and other sites that distract me from studying. I usually set it for 5 hours so I can be as productive as I can without distracting myself. ~ Liv Stanger, NIU Business student
- When I'm studying for an exam, I disconnect the internet so I'm not distracted. ~ Dave Guilford, NIU Business student
- I try to look ahead at future projects and then I plan accordingly. I normally make sure that I have things completed by Friday night in order for the weekend to be a breeze. If I put it off it just bugs me the entire weekend. ~ Clayton Dean, NIU Business student

Darin S. Hawkinson was sentenced Monday to up to five years at the Utah State Prison for a September 2011 automobile homicide/DUI incident that killed two women.
The 48-year-old East Carbon man had pleaded guilty in Seventh Judicial District Court on June 15 to two third-degree felony counts.
Judge Douglas B. Thomas ordered that the sentences for both counts be served concurrently.
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, Hawkinson was driving westbound on US 6 near Cat Canyon at 81 mph in a 65 mph zone when his 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier drifted off to the right side of the road, then over corrected and crossed the center line directly into the path of an eastbound 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe.
The Santa Fe was carrying driver Steven Dee Hulse, 64, Sandy, and three passengers.
The Santa Fe struck Hawkinson's vehicle broadside, ripping it completely in half. The impact then sent the Santa Fe into a collision with a Peterbilt tractor trailer, also eastbound.
Killed in the crash were the two women in the Santa Fe, 64-year-old Sharlene Atkinson and 63-year-old Lynnette C. Hulse. Steven Hulse was critically injured and William G. Atkinson Jr., 65, suffered serious injuries. All four of the victims in the Santa Fe had been wearing seatbelts.
Hawkinson, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was critically injured.

It's Gluten Free Ratio Rally time again! This month's challenge is brought to you by Mary Fran of FrannyCakes and the food is Brownies! Sure, who doesn't love brownies and you really can't have too many brownie recipes, but when my family is polishing off this batch of Peppermint Brownie Bars in a few days, I'll be looking at you, Mary Fran. I decided to make a recipe from my childhood. My mom used to make these Peppermint Brownie Bars as one of her "cookie" contributions in our annual Christmas Cookie exchange. It's a simple recipe and the results are delish!
My ratio ended up being: 1 chocolate: 2 egg: 2 butter: 2 (to 2.5) flour: 4 sugar
Peppermint Brownie Bars
First Layer:
2 squares (2 oz) bitter chocolate
1 cup (8 oz) sugar
4 to 5 oz GF Flour Blend* (If you're making these non-GF, use 1/2 cup all purpose flour)
1 Stick (4 oz) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (2.25 oz) chopped nuts
2 large eggs (~3.75 oz)
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt
*If you like your brownies to be dense use 4 oz GF flour, if you prefer them to be more cakey, use up to 5 oz GF flour.
Second Layer:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. half and half
3 Tbs. soft butter
1 tsp. peppermint extract
Third Layer:
1 1/2 squares bitter chocolate
1 1/2 Tbs. melted butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt chocolate and butter either on very low heat or with a double boiler. Combine eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, salt and nuts. Add melted chocolate/butter mix and stir. Pour into an 8-inch square pan lined with parchment paper and greased. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool. Combine ingredients for second layer and spread over first layer. Chill. Melt butter and chocolate and spread over second layer. Chill and cut into 1-inch squares.
