NH House told parole bill would not apply to violent offenders
By Grant Bosse
(CONCORD) A controversial change in New Hampshire's parole law that forced the early release of child sexual predators was pitched to New Hampshire lawmakers as only applying to nonviolent offenders. House records show that the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee believed Senate Bill 500 would not change the status of violent criminals.
Rep. Stephen Shurtleff (D-Concord) summarized the Committee's recommendation in favor of SB 500 in the April 16, 2010 House Calendar.
The parole system will also undergo a number of reforms, but two very important facts will not change: violent offenders will still be subject to the jurisdiction and discretion of the parole board and New Hampshire's truth in sentencing law will remain intact. Nonviolent offenders will be subject to release after serving 120% of their minimum sentence, including the disciplinary period required by law. (Emphasis added)
Shurtleff also writes that the bill was amended to exempt crimes related to domestic violence from the nonviolent category. Contrary to Shurtleff's report, the new law removed the State Adult Parole Board's discretion. It mandates the release of criminals nine months before the end of their maximum sentences in order to ensure that they were under supervision during their first months outside of prison.
In a recent Concord Monitor article, several supporters of the bill say they believed it only applied to nonviolent offenders. Senator Peter Bragdon (R-Milford) hopes to repeal part of the law when the Legislature reconvenes to consider several gubernatorial vetoes next week.
"My understanding was that it was for nonviolent offenders only. Upon a more careful reading now, I see there's one part where it says all offenders, not just nonviolent offenders."
Despite his earlier writing, Shurtleff now claims that the bill was always intended to apply to all prisoners nearing the end of their sentences.
"This was no surprise to anybody. As for dealing with violent offenders, that was the whole intent of the law."
The bill has become a hot-button issue in the campaign for Governor. Republican challenger John Stephen charges Governor John Lynch with mismanagement, while Lynch counters that Stephen is trying to scare the public. When Stephen first raised his criticism in August, Lynch's campaign accused Stephen of misleading voters, according to an August 13, 2010 article in the Union Leader.
Stephen spokesperson Greg Moore said, "Governor Lynch could have easily demanded that either all sexual offenders be made ineligible for early release or that he would veto the bill, but he didn't. Instead, he signed a bill that made some sex offenders ineligible for early parole but left others eligible."
"Gov. Lynch passed a law to increase prison sentences for sex offenders – and this law doesn't change that," Walsh said. "Sex offenders will go to prison, and they will stay there for a long time. It is clear that John Stephen would rather offer misleading attacks than realistic plans to help New Hampshire's workers and families."
While the new law counts on expanded supervision of newly released inmates, it does not provide any additional funds to establish those programs. Members of the Parole Board protested the new law, arguing it removes their discretion to limit parole to inmates willing to seek rehabilitation. The first wave of inmates to receive the mandatory early release on September 23, 2010 included four men convicted of sex crimes, including at least one unwilling to enroll in sex offender treatment after his release.

All, This is on Opensuse 11.3 with kernel-desktop-126.96.36.199-0.7.1.x86_64 (probably should change that to a default kernel). I upgraded the multipahting-tools to the latest version because they are badly broken on the 64-bit version of this distro. I used bs and count combinations for the dd command that result into a dump that surpasses available RAM, so there should be no caching happening. I later on did indeed try on iscsi without multipathing on a bonded interface and got about the same results, but I have to admit that I forgot to change tc_reordering, which is necessary on Suse. probably better do that again and report back. I did find however that if the underlying iscsi device is an LVM snaphost, read speed goes down when LVM snapshot size goed up (or so it seems). b.

We got married at The Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan on Madison Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side overlooking Central Park, last spring. We were drawn to this particular site because of its pristine reputation of hosting fabulous weddings and events since the 30's. Also, this lovely locale is a prominent landmark and we wanted to treat our out-of-state guests to a true NY experience. I warned my mom-in-law that she should be on the lookout for celebs as this place is known to have a few make appearances. The amenities at The Carlyle are unsurpassed; we were amazed at the service of the concierge, valet, even a secretarial service while we were guests! They offer twice-daily maid service, 24 hour room service, 24 hours security, and a white-gloved elevator attendant- again, above and beyond most luxury hotels. The Carlyle Galleries is a must-see- it overlooks Madison Avenue, and had several collections of old antiques and paintings that kept our guests entertained and impressed. The Sense Spa is full-service and the Yves Durif Salon made it their top priority to cater to my wedding party. The girls who stood up for me could not believe what service we rec'd while guests at The Carlyle. The most impressive feature at The Carlyle was the fact that they are very dog-friendly. I would never even consider a ceremony where my beloved dog Francis could not attend. The Carlyle made sure that he had a warm, toasty doggy bed, offered snacks and bottled water, and have a fee-for-service dog walking offering. It was so wonderful! We were all able to enjoy the day knowing that Francis was well-attended. Really rare, actually. As for the food, it was top notch. The menu was focused on fresh and in-season ingredients- we tried and LOVED the Dover Sole! You really must try it! Our guests dined on Lobster Thermidor and it rec'd rave reviews. I would encourage anyone considering NYC and The Carlyle to get in touch with their special wedding planners- they took care of everything right down to the last detail and made it a worry-free affair for me and my hubby.

Real World Marketing Programs for Christian School
Christian schools exist with an important goal in mind: Providing a worldview-changing, quality educational experience for students. To the extent that those goals are met, enrollment grows (or holds steady) as students are retained and as satisfied parents tell other parents (Word-Of-Mouth). However, over time, parent satisfaction gaps can arise that begin a downward decline in enrollment and program quality. GraceWorks can help.

Is It Wrong To Use Clinton's Heart Procedure In Healthcare Debate?
Some media members are taking heat from the Left for bringing former President Bill Clinton's recent heart procedure into the healthcare reform debate.
On Friday, the perilously liberal website Think Progress chastised "Fox & Friends" with the headline, "Fox Politicizes Clinton's Heart Surgery, Suggests He Wouldn't Have Received Treatment Under Health Reform."
Later that evening, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann named Michelle Malkin the Worst Person in the World for, amongst other things, comments she made at her blog about Clinton and "Demcare."
On Saturday, the left-leaning Mediaite entered the discussion with this article highly critical of Fox (video of F&F segment embedded below):
On Fox & Friends, an emergency heart procedure for an ex-president is a perfect opportunity for an ultra-partisan hypothetical situation: "If the democrats' health care reform had gone through would President Clinton have received the stents?" The two stents the former president was given on Thursday provided a jumping off point for a highly convoluted (and perhaps insensitive?) undermining of health care reform plans, the stimulus package and Obama's budget director Peter Orzag.
Here's the segment in question:
Considering the former President had already been released from the hospital in good condition when this discussion took place -- he apparently did two miles on a treadmill before he went home -- is it out of line?
Isn't the procedure Clinton underwent, in the midst of a national debate concerning healthcare reform, a teachable moment?
Consider this August 2007 article from Britain's Daily Mail:
A treatment which has saved the lives of tens of thousands of heart patients could be banned on the Health Service because it is too expensive.
Last year, around 40,000 patients were fitted with drugcoated stents - special tubes which are inserted into arteries to prevent them from narrowing.
The system is more expensive than stents that don't include drugs, but are more effective at keeping people out of hospital.
They also avoid the need for heart bypass operations.
Now the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence has recommended that the devices be banned on the basis of cost.
The watchdog admits that drugcoated stents are much more effective in preventing the re-narrowing of arteries than cheaper varieties. But it says they are not cost-effective and wants surgeons to use older drug-free stents instead because they are £600 cheaper.
To be sure, if the procedure had complications, and the former President was still in the hospital, this discussion might be in bad taste.
But as he is now home doing quite well, isn't it fair to address how this relates to the current debate especially if this could be a heart treatment that is deemed at some point in the future too expensive for the government to pay for?

I agree with other comments, that your conclusion is wrong.
If her full brother died s.p. then she even if dead would have been called
"co-heiress in her issue".
That's what "in her issue" means. That the claim descends to her own
children. It does not go extinct at her death UNLESS she also died s.p.
In which case your line is broken anyway.
Calling her daughter of William does not imply the baronet. There are
plenty of William Graham's to go around.

If you're looking for little something to tide you over between meals, but don't want something with too much fat or sugar, I've got the solution for you. My favorite mid-morning snack of late has been a simple mix of Stonyfield Farm's plain fat-free yogurt, Nature's Path Organic Raspberry Heritage Granola, and Earthbound Farm's organic jumbo flame seedless raisins. If you're used to flavored yogurt, it can be an adjustment to switch to plain. Try mixing in a very small amount of no-sugar-added fruit preserves if you can't handle it. The granola isn't the tastiest--it has a pretty plain taste and the texture, like most low-fat granolas, doesn't invite one to snack on it straight from the box. But on the plus side it only has 3 grams of fat and 5 grams of sugar per serving, and tastes just fine when mixed in with the yogurt. The Earthbound Farm raisins are awesome--plump and juicy. They're not kidding when they call them "jumbo." Very different from the shriveled up little nuggets I've eaten in the past. Just go easy on them as they obviously add quite a bit of sugar.
As always, don't be scared by my picture! I swear it tastes better than it looks!

The stakes were high for the Oakcrest High School Academic Team at the Egg Harbor Township High School Academic Triathlon on Feb. 6.
Chaz Wyckoff, a math teacher at Oakcrest and a new co-adviser for its Academic Team this year, gave his group an ultimatum.
"We didn't have a choice," said senior Ciara Windsor. "He was like, 'You guys can either walk home or win.'"
Whether the math teacher had plans to follow through on his threat, the Falcons will never know. Oakcrest bested the 15-school field with 620 points out of about 1,000 possible, putting them 60 points ahead of the second place team.
The Academic Triathlon, as its name would suggest, is split into three rounds, each of them focusing on a single subject. On Feb. 6, Oakcrest was tested on its knowledge of the humanities, math and science, and pop culture and sports. Each round consists of about 30 open-ended short answer questions, each worth 10 points, which the four-member teams were given twenty seconds to answer.
Oakcrest's seven team members, who subbed in and out depending on their expertise, were Windsor, Nick Murphy, Ted Price, James Townley, Schuyler DeVos, Cole Smith and Kim Paxton.
While the team ultimately came away with a comfortable victory, it didn't always appear they were headed for the win. After a frustrating first round, Oakcrest was only in third place. After a speech from Wyckoff, the team rallied, surging in the second round to a 40 point lead, which it only extended in the third.
Despite their impressive showing, Paxton said she and her teammates felt they didn't perform as well as they could have.
"We see the amount we got right and we're thinking, that number could be so much higher," Paxton said. "At the end of the round you think of all the questions you could have gotten right, because either someone said the answer or didn't put it down, or just dumb things like that."
While Wyckoff is new to the Academic Team scene, Oakcrest also has some veteran leadership in business and computers teacher Chris Sopuch, who has been the group's adviser for 15 years.
Though ostensibly an academic counterpart to typical interscholastic competitions like sports, Sopuch said, contests like the Academic Triathlon also offer students a venue in which to interact with like-minded students from throughout the region.
"They sit down and interact with the kids on the other teams and they're inspired," Sopuch said. "It really creates a great environment for the kids to network and communicate and things like that."
Of the students who traveled to EHTHS on Feb. 6, all but Paxton are seniors, meaning next year's team will be mostly fresh faces.
But while the team may be losing its veterans, it also has some studs in the pipeline, some of whom attended the Academic Triathlon. The more experienced members occasionally give their underclassman counterparts a hard time, Wyckoff said, but they're also willing to take the younger students under their wings.
He's excited about the future.
"It's nice to see them do well and everything, but also to kind of help mold the younger class," Wyckoff said. "I see the mentoring roles they're taking with the younger students. It's really awesome to see."
The Oakcrest Academic Team will next compete at Buena Regional High School on March 13.

The John Hancock Building is Boston's tallest, at 60 stories. Today, it's a sleek, glass rhomboid. But it was briefly the world's tallest plywood builing. Shortly after its construction in 1975, its windows began falling out. This posed something of a problem given that that building was all glass - and each window weighed 500 pounds. Until they could figure out the problem, engineers replaced all the windows with plywood.
In 1988, Paul Tavilla of Arlington got into the Guinness Book of World Records by using his mouth to catch a grape tossed off the top of the Hancock.

MIT students used to have a problem. Returning home from a night of carousing in Boston via the Harvard Bridge (which doesn't go to Harvard), they found it hard to tell far away they were from the MIT campus whenever the fog descended on the Charles River basin.
In 1958, the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity solved the problem by marking off the Harvard Bridge with one Oliver Smoot, a pledge. They picked him up, marked off another Smoot, and continued until done - learning in the process that the bridge was exactly 364.4 smoots and an ear. Today, the bridge is annually re-marked every 10 smoots.

Look for the statue of the "Good Samaritan" metaphorically (and melodramatically) comforting the afflicted with some ether. In hero-mad Boston, the first question that comes to mind is why doesn't the statue show William Morton, the dentist who first used the stuff (in an 1846 operation at Massachusetts General)? At the time sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward (now there's a Boston name to reckon with) began working on the statue, it wasn't clear Morton was the true inventor - another doctor had called dibs. Hence the symbolic discovery, which prompted Oliver Wendell Holmes, Boston's 19th-century quipster (he dubbed Boston the Hub), to call the statue a "monument to ether - or either."
The Mass. General Ether Dome, where Morton applied the gas, is still around and open for public viewing (when it's not used for lectures) - and features (for no apparent reason) a mummy and a skeleton.

Keyspan has always claimed it's a coincidence; some suspect Kent, an anti-war activist, included Ho in her 1971 opus as a subtle protest (Kent herself isn't talking; she's dead). Note: There used to be two tanks there. In 1992, Keyspan tore down the Kent tank and hired painters (including at least one Vietnamese refugee) to repaint the mural on the other one. One of the things they did was to give the profile a more rounded, less Ho-ish nose; the company claims this was truer to Kent's original design.

Forget Faneuil Hall or Old North Church. They're ancient history. Modern revolutionaries work at the Parker House. Ho Chi Minh was a busboy; Malcolm X a waiter.

The Commonwealth Avenue mall, a linear park down the middle of Comm. Ave. in the Back Bay, features statues of several prominent Bostonians - and Leif Erikson.
Eben Horsford, a 19th-century Harvard professor who discovered baking powder, was convinced that Vikings had sailed up the Charles to found Vinland - the lost Viking colony on the North American mainland. Horsford even claimed to have found evidence of Viking buildings in Cambridge and Watertown. So he commissioned a statue to commemorate the landing spot - and a tower in Weston that provides some of the proof: that area of the Charles is known as "Norumbega," which is obviously an Indian corruption of "Norway." At least, that's what he insisted.

In 1960, Timothy Leary came to Harvard to teach psychotherapy. Not long after, he began his experiments with psilocybin and LSD (bonus fun fact: Among his early test participants: inmates at MCI-Concord, who took psilocybin under his watch).
His office was in the Dept. of Social Relation's Center for Personality Research in Morton Prince Hall, a house built in the 1840s and named for a professor of abnormal psychology at Harvard Medical School. Now, when Leary was at Harvard, the house was located at 5 Divinity Ave., behind the Busch-Reisenger Museum. In 1977, however, the college moved the building to its present location to make way for a new biochemistry building. Today's it's home to the freshman dean.

Enterprise resource planning : noun . An accounting-oriented information system for identifying and planning the enterprise-wide resources needed to take, make, ship, and account for customer orders ….
—from the APICS Dictionary, 10th edition
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems started as a means for inventory control and grew to replace islands of information by integrating traditional management functions, such as financials, payroll, and human resources, with other functions including manufacturing and distribution. Currently, the complexity of business is creating new user needs; the growth of computers is developing new potential; the quest for new markets by vendors has given users a new voice; and ERP is evolving once again. Names and acronyms like extended-ERP , ERP II , enterprise business applications (EBA), enterprise commerce management (ECM), and comprehensive enterprise applications (CEA) are being tossed about, but what's really going on?

Picture: Kelly Clarkson performing at live at Wembley Arena on the final date of her UK 'Stronger Tour 2012' London. England - 20.10.12
Kelly Clarkson had to recruit a friend to re-decorate her Christmas tree this year (12) after the singer's first attempt ended up looking like "a hot mess".
The former American Idol winner is spending her first Christmas with new boyfriend Brandon Blackstock, and admits she was excited to deck the halls and dress the tree with him.
But after hanging up ornaments and tinsel, Clarkson and Blackstock were less than impressed with their finished product.
The pop star tells Britain's Sunday Brunch, "It's our first tree we put together and it looks hideous. We tried to make a real pretty grand one in our house but it just looks like a hot mess. My friend is gonna fix it. We were going for classic and beautiful but it just kind of looked white trash. We didn't actually do it well!"
But there is one holiday activity Clarkson excels at - Christmas shopping.
She adds, "I love Christmas. I love getting gifts for people. I just love surprising them, I love like hearing something (they said they wanted) throughout the year and them not even remembering that they said it. I have a lot of nieces and nephews and it's cool to see them open their presents."
Watching From Justin to Kelly, one question looms over the entire production: Why was this...

I tried Paleo 3 or 4 years ago and actually gained 7lbs. I don't know what I was doing wrong nor did I ask. I went raw after that, then vegetarian then plant based then plant based with an occasional red beef thrown in due to severe b12 deficiency. Yep, 4yrs trying to lose 100lbs. CRAZY. Yet, nothing about my health got better.
However, I know more than I did 4yrs ago regarding nutrition and I know more than I did 3weeks ago as well (long story). We're going for it, started yesterday. I needed your story Griff, thank you. Thank you Mark also and all of you for your stories.
Originally posted by WaylandC View PostHappycamper, Griff hasn't been on the Forums for about 2 years now since he was criticized for not wanting to look thinner and fitter. He was satisfied with his health and people here on the forums decided that wasn't good enough so he left.
Regarding your situation do what is comfortable for your body as you heal. Bodyweight exercises can take you a long way. Stick with that until you're ready to move on to something more. If you have to stick to bodyweight exercises for the rest of your life, you won't be missing out

First, congratulations, great story!
I have a question about the fitness portion. I suffer from osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. I struggle with the lift heavy things portion. I do swim and do pull ups on the edge of the pool as well as yoga. In the past I have been unable to do pushups or pull ups because of my shoulders. Do you do full on hardcore stuff or have you found something that works for you. Should I feel okay about what I am doing or should I push myself to try the heavy stuff? It really scares me. I have been bedridden in the past from different schemes.
Thanks for any input,

Link: iPod on the Xbox 360
Posted on MacBytes.com
Approved by Mudbug
that is pretty slick, but i'll still just stream my music wirelessly to my stereo while i'm playing before i would do this.
Does the Xbox 360 support AAC? I've been asking around. I know it doesn't support protected AAC music.
Nope, only Mp3 and unprotected WMA.
There will be a free update through the Xbox LIVE Marketplace to get AAC support. They can't support it out of the box due to licensing issues though. As for the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, well, it's free now, so as long as you can plug an Ethernet cable into your 360, you'll be fine.
Thanks. I've been curious about that. I'm not buying a Xbox though. <.<
Little clarification though. The 360 will support AAC. It WON'T support protected AAC files downloaded off of ITMS. You can thank Apple for that. They dont license FairPlay.
My statement was in response to a person that said "I know it doesn't support protected AAC music", so... yeah. Anyway, it's not that they didn't want to license FairPlay. They spoke to Apple and tried to work something out in regards to FairPlay. Apple basically told them to **** off. Still, it does support HFS+ formatted iPods (which was an actual surprise for me, I only expected FAT32 support).
Yeah, sorry about that other poster. I knew it didn't support protected AAC's already. I'm surprised that it supports +HFS iPods too.
Yah I read that. Just clarifying and pointing out with flags for those who didn't know and were considering the 360. I've already had to correct several fellow iPod owners who automatically assume AAC support == iTMS playback.

Volunteers are integral to the success of Burnside Center. They help at the Center in several different areas.
Dining Room – One area where Burnside uses a lot of volunteers is in the kitchen and dining room for its lunch-time meal. Some of the jobs volunteers perform include serving meals, serving drinks, clearing tables, and running the cash register. Volunteers are also used for serving lunch to special groups that meet in the Grahl Room. These events can be weekly or monthly.
Front Desk – One of the most important volunteer positions is our front desk volunteer, as this is the first impression people get of the Center. This person is responsible for many tasks, including answering the phone, directing callers to the proper staff person, answering questions, providing general information to the public, welcoming people to the Center, and helping them find the activity they have come for.
Classes – Burnside also has several volunteers who enjoy teaching different topics. This is a great way to put their special skills and talents to work! Some examples of areas in which Burnside uses volunteers include: computer lab, woodworking, stained glass, knitting, and crocheting, to name a few.
Computer Club – Volunteers for the computer club assist older adults in the computer lab.
Medical Transport Drivers – Another important area where Burnside uses volunteers is the medical van transportation program. The volunteer drivers transport area older adults to their medical appointments. The volunteer drivers use Burnside's medical vans for these trips.
MMAP Office – These volunteers go through extensive training in Medicaid and Medicare so they can assist other older adults by helping them access health benefit programs and answering their questions. Previous experience with insurance and benefits is not necessary.
If you are interested in becoming a Burnside volunteer, please contact
Freda at 517-279-6565.

When I first heard the whole Paris Ordeal....I thought...that is bizarro....they would have Joe Six Pack, mexicans,or blacks in jail in two seconds....no questions asked.
Why should Paris be any different?
They are making a statement....not sure what it is, at this point, but a statement, none the less.
The illuminati agenda is real....whether you want to admit it or not. You don't even really have to do your research now..just open your eyes....they are getting so blatant...it doesnt take a rocket scientist.
she isn't illuminati, she's more of a mind slave like Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears is.
She has her handlers, that work for the illuminati.
Please wake up. She is of royal blood she is illuminati although she is one of their pawns. She is another puppet like Lady Gaga who is another puppet who is under mind control. The illuminati use these pawns as tools to influence the sheep. Call her what you want because it makes no difference. People think the illuminati are just the top elite. They have many functions that goes down to our entertainers. Paris is not calling any shots that can harm people, or at least I dont believe she is. She is using her looks and name to influence kids to act like whores. Illuminati wins.

Well, I tried my luck at bidding in the Marketplace today. I wanted Benny the Puppy and Bongo the Ferret (or something like that) really bad. Someone had placed a bid for 2g, so I went 5g. We had a little fun bantering back and forth, but before I knew it I was walking home empty-handed and the other bidders were probably scratching their heads wondering why they paid 10,000g for an animal that sits on their head?? (Hopefully that's all they do on their heads...)
Yesterday must have been a fluke, because I got Bape Cow for 3g. Now I'm wondering what the heck is the matter with this cow?? Do I have to give it my first born in return? Bye Starah...its been real.
I guess I'll go see what's shakin' in the Marketplace again. Maybe I can bid on that Unicorn poop or something... rofl

Ever needed to connect two computers together without going through a wireless network? I've previously written about how to connect two computers wirelessly using an ad-hoc wireless network, but it's not as fast as being directly connected.
If your computer are on a wired network, you can network two computers and then share files and folders, but it's a lot of work! A crossover cable is another way to connect two computers and transfer data.
In order for this setup to work, there are a few things you need to make sure are setup or configured properly. I will try to go through all the different steps in this article.
Step 1 – Configure IP Addresses
Usually, if you are using a crossover cable to connect two computers, the computers are not connected to a LAN network. In this case, you will need to configure static IP addresses for each computer.
You have to make sure that both computers have IP addresses that are on the same subnet. For example, if you give one computer an IP address of 192.168.0.1, then you should give the second computer an IP of 192.168.0.2.
If you used the above IP addresses, you should use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If you use an incorrect subnet mask, the connection will not work.
Lastly, the value for the default gateway should be the same on both machines. You can pick which IP address you want to use, but use it on both computers for the default gateway. Below is how my setup looks for one computer:
Step 2 – Crossover Cable
The second thing you need to verify is that you actually have a proper crossover cable. Basically, there are a few different types of crossover cables, but it's best to get the standard crossover cable where the green and orange pairs are swapped and the brown and blue pairs stay in the same position.
The only pins that need to be crossed are 1,3 and 2,6. So just check your cable on both end and make sure it matches the diagram.
Step 3 – Local User Accounts
If you're having problems accessing files both ways, you may have to create a user account on each computer that has the same name and same password. This helps get past any kind of Access is Denied errors that may pop up.
Make sure the accounts are administrator accounts also! It's best to create a new account rather than rename a current account.
Step 4 – Disable Firewalls
Finally, you should disable the firewall on both computers to ensure that none of the file sharing ports are being blocked. You can do this by going to Control Panel and then Windows Firewall. Click on Off.
That's about it! If you follow all these steps, each computer should be able to access the other properly. If you are having problems, post a comment here and I will try to help! Enjoy!

For the crumb topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Zest of ½ lemon
- 4 tbsp. (2 oz.) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
For the cake:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
step 1: Show Images
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Lightly grease and flour and 10-inch springform pan. To make the crumb topping, combine the flour, granulated sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl and whisk to blend. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
step 2: Show Images
To make the cake, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream and vanilla until well blended. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the liquid ingredients. Fold together gently until evenly mixed and no streaks remain, being careful not to over mix. Spread the batter into the prepared pan in an even layer. Dot the top of the batter with the raspberries. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the berries.
step 3: Show Images
Bake until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 38-42 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes. Remove the sides of the springform pan. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

Rumors floated about on Friday that the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics could be trading partners for point guard Rajon Rondo, though neither team nor their respective beat writers have issued any insight into a potential deal.
Regardless, such a trade would shake up the Eastern Conference in a similar fashion to the Brooklyn Nets' acquisition of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry. For the Knicks, acquiring Rondo would be the perfect way to answer their crosstown rivals.
Because nothing is backed up by any reputable sources just yet, it's hard to really get into much depth regarding a possible trade. It is helpful to look into the possible implications and players that could be involved, though.
First off, any deal for Rondo would more than likely have to include Iman Shumpert. Shumpert is the team's best trade chip and would entice the Celtics because of his perimeter defense and potential to improve in all aspects of the game. Steve Novak and his $11 million salary (over the next three seasons) could also be involved, while Raymond Felton could also be sent to Boston to replace Rondo.
Future picks could also be sent to Boston, as could cash considerations for the upcoming offseason. The Knicks just barely clear the luxury tax threshold, but shedding the contract of Novak (and possibly the contract of Felton) would be more than enough to fit Rondo into the team's payroll.
Carmelo Anthony has been vying for a second scorer to play alongside of, but Rondo would be an even better acquisition. General manager Glen Grunwald could make his superstar very happy by bringing Rondo in, as Anthony could be set up with even more opportunities to score than he had before.
Rondo is one of the best point guards in the league and has averaged 12.1 points and 9.1 assists per game over the course of his seven-year NBA career. He's also incredible defensively, averaging 2.1 steals per game.
Losing Shumpert and Novak would be tough, but replacing them with Rondo would be exciting for Knicks fans. Rondo could turn Anthony into an even more dangerous player on offense, as his passing skills are amongst the best in the league. Anthony does like to control the ball in isolation situations, but Rondo's presence could change that and make for a more fluid offense.
Acquiring Rondo would leave the team with a few holes, however. With both Shumpert and Novak gone, the Knicks would be without a clear-cut small forward heading into the season. Given J.R. Smith's and Pablo Prigioni's free agency, they could also be without a shooting guard.
Tim Hardaway, Jr., the newest Knick could see time at either position, but it's difficult to trust a rookie in a starting role. A team with Anthony, Rondo and Tyson Chandler could be just the team to do it with, though, as Hardaway would not be asked to play a large role offensively.
One option would be to shift Anthony over to small forward and allow Amar'e Stoudemire to re-enter the starting lineup at power forward, but the chemistry between the two stars has come into question in the past. Rondo would certainly know the best way to distribute opportunities between the two, but Stoudemire has shown that he doesn't play particularly well with Anthony.
The chances of a deal happening are still unknown as, like was mentioned earlier, there haven't been any rumors from very reputable sources just yet. The idea has been floated around, however, and now may be the best time to make a deal for Rondo.
The Celtics are in complete "sell" mode, and the Knicks could always benefit from getting a little younger (and better, of course). If Grunwald plays his cards right, then the Knicks could have a new point guard come the opening tip of the NBA season.Tags: Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, Boston Celtics, Carmelo Anthony, Iman Shumpert, NBA, New York, New York Knicks, Rajon Rondo, Steve Novak, Tyson Chandler

I've been thinking about the need to distinguish between two very different sorts of anarchy. The word comes from the Greek an archon, or no leader. The first type of situation in which there might be "no leader" gives us the common usage of anarchy: in a social order dependent (in some sense) on there being a leader, there suddenly isn't one. Thus, we get "Baghdad is in a state of near anarchy."
The second type of situation occurs when there is no leader, but the social order has evolved or been designed to function that way. That of course, is what most people who call themselves an "anarchist" mean to advocate. And that is why it is absurd to try to refute their position by saying, "Oh, you want anarchy? Just move to Baghdad."

PARRSBORO – Should Parrsboro choose to engage in a study of how it is governed, that decision will come only from the town council table, those attending its April 22 monthly session were told.
The comments from mayor and council came in response to a petition being circulated by former mayor Stanford Blenkhorn, asking residents whether or not they want a governance study for their town.
"My understanding is that only the mayor and council can make an approach to the Province of Nova Scotia for such a thing as amalgamation," said Mayor Lois Smith, who added that she does not believe Parrsboro needs a governance study.
The study, as proposed by Blenkhorn at a public meeting the night before, would analyze four different governance models for Parrsboro: status quo (remaining as a town); becoming a village; amalgamating with the municipality of Cumberland County; and dissolution, as Springhill recently applied for.
This study would cost up to $50,000, half of which would be paid for by Parrsboro, according to Blenkhorn, who plans to gain enough signatures to prompt council into taking this action.
"If it's not broke, don't fix it," said the mayor. "I believe this council – we don't agree all the time – but, whenever we decide or find a situation where we have to turn to our neighbours in Cumberland County, the public will be invited to sit with us and discuss it."
Neither the mayor nor Coun. David Harrison attended Blenkhorn's April 21 meeting, which drew a crowd of 100 to the Parrsboro Fire Hall, but both said they would like to have seen a more c-operative approach from the former mayor and longtime business operator. Smith said she expected a committee of sorts would have emerged from the session and then come to speak to council.
"Stanford is not stupid at all, I'm sure he has great ideas," said Harrison. "It would be nice if he'd just come to committee-of-the-whole or something and talk."
Meanwhile, he said Parrsboro is paying close attention to the developments in Springhill to see how that course pays off for them.
As for shelling out $25,000 for a study, CAO Ray Hickey pointed out that it might not be necessary in any case.
"Town council has already talked to the province, and they're willing to examine options for Parrsboro for free," he said. "The province was already here, said they were more than willing to look at the options and give a report to town council for free, and town council said sure."
An audience member, Ardis Downey, said she is satisfied with the way the town operates, and is concerned how any change in governance would affect services such as water protection and snow removal.
"It's starting to become another thriving town," she said. "It's beautiful. I'm happy with the way it's run. I honestly think there's something underhanded, the way this is coming about."
The mayor assured Downey and others who are concerned that Parrsboro is not just going to throw away its status after 125 years just because it is "in fashion."
"I have all the past mayors' names in my office and I looked at them one day and thought, 'Gee, even my father-in-law was mayor at one time, and (husband) Ross's great-grandfather'," said Smith. "They would be real ticked off at me if I just gave this up so fast. If there's a reason, you people will know, then you can make that decision along with those of us who sit here."

Georges Braque
Still Life
Georges Braque
French, 1882-1963
Still Life, 1918
Oil on canvas
46.4 x 72.1 cm (18 1/4 x 28 3/8 inches)
Mary B. Jackson Fund 48.248
Georges Braque's mature style evolved following a collaborative relationship with Picasso in which both artists explored the representation of objects through flat, geometric shapes. In this example of later "Synthetic" Cubism, Braque recombined familiar motifs from his still life vocabulary, including a plate of fruit, a textile fragment, a folded newspaper, and a shifting table top. He superimposed these elements on a diamond-shaped field pierced with shaded openings that reveal a dark background beyond. The composition intentionally resembles his work in collage in which scraps of paper and fabric were glued to the canvas then painted or left untouched. Here he plays with the decorative pattern of red dots on a green cloth by extending it onto the rim of the platter. Through a subtle subversion of spatial relationships he rejects comparison with classic still life compositions and reinforces the effect of abstraction.

Australites are a variety of mysterious dark glassy fragments known as tektites. These are pieces of rock which have been completely melted as they descended at high speed through the Earth's atmosphere. There are four main regions on Earth where tektites have been found scattered on the surface. Tektites from each region, or strewnfield, have a distinct age. The youngest tektites are those found across much of the southern two-thirds of the Australian continent. Australites, as these are called, show a wide variety of regular shapes that have resulted from aerodynamic sculpturing of the molten glass during their descent. Australites from western Victoria, in particular from the Port Campbell district, are the best preserved. They are typified by round buttons up to several centimetres across, each with a delicate flange around the girdle.
Australites have been known to European scientists since the 1830s, however Aboriginal people used them as sacred objects or as cutting tools. There have been many different theories on how australites formed, including production by bush fires, eruption from volcanoes or fusion of dust by lightning. For a time they were thought to have come from the Moon. However, scientists now know that lunar rocks do not have the same composition as australites, and their source is now believed to be Earth itself. They probably originated during gigantic meteorite or comet impacts, when myriads of small rock fragments were blasted into the upper atmosphere, from where they descended to the surface. There are possible impact sites preserved in south-eastern Asia.

The first attempts to calculate the age of australites used carbon dating, not on the glassy objects themselves, but on pieces of charcoal found in the same sandy layers. These methods gave ages of only a few tens of thousands of years. A direct method of dating australites was developed in the 1960s. Known as fission track dating, this technique showed australites are nearly 800 000 years old. Modern geological mapping has confirmed this age is correct.
Because australites were believed to come from Space, the National Aeronautical and Space Administration of the USA (NASA) was especially interested in them for the Apollo Moon missions in the 1960s. The aerodynamic shape of the perfect flanged buttons were similar to models of re-entry modules. As well, the glass has a composition that provides great resistance to thermodynamic shock and was therefore considered excellent for use as heat shields in artificial satellites and ballistic missiles. NASA even made synthetic australites in special heated chambers. Today, australites are a reminder of the history of large extraterrestrial impacts on Earth.
It is possible to find australites in sandy country across southern Australia, but the rugged cliff tops east of Port Campbell in Victoria provide the best opportunities. Here, they can be found as black glassy fragments in the surface sand, especially after heavy rain. Care is needed however, as these cliff tops are dangerous places. Australites can be collected and owned, but they are protected from export without a permit by Federal legislation.
Museum Victoria has a very good collection of australites, showing all the known varieties. Many were collected by a world famous expert on australites, Dr George Baker, who provided advice to NASA on their properties and occurrences.

The advice from the Senior Collection Manager, Mineralogy, is that it should be easy to tell, and in his experience, he has not seen any fakes for sale. Hope this helps Suzanna!

As investors look for more "defensive" stocks following market uncertainty,
Abacus has performed largely in line with S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT (Australian real estate investment trust) Index peers this year, although this means – as in the case of many of its counterparts – its share price has lost ground.
The company's share price has slipped since the start of the year, dipping from 46.5¢ to about 41.5¢.
Deutsche Bank analysts forecast a 3.1¢ a share distribution for the year, which equates to a 7.7 per cent dividend yield.
This places the company third in its field in terms of grossed-up yield, behind
Abacus is a stapled property trust that listed in 2002 and specialises in real estate investment, funds management, development finance and joint ventures.
The company has a market capitalisation of about $700 million. Its $823 million investment portfolio of 60 assets is exclusively domestic, covering a variety of asset classes.
Abacus also has $263 million invested in its own funds, with a total of $850 million in funds under management. It has $135 million in joint venture projects, $71 million in co-investments and $103 million invested in project financing across eight mortgages.
It raised $73 million in December to underwrite distributions and capital for one of its unlisted trusts for the next seven years, in what was seen as a sign of strength and a show of balance sheet liquidity.
The company's liquidity has seen the group targeted by analysts as a potential candidate for a share buyback, a strategy which, if undertaken, could have an upside for investors.
Citigroup analysts have a "buy" recommendation on Abacus, suggesting that it is one of the vehicles with the most to gain from a buyback, considering it is trading at a 33 per cent discount to its net tangible asset backing.
Abacus has the backing of South African financier Nathan Kirsh's Kirsh Group, which took 30 per cent of the company in April 2009.
The company reported sound valuations for its extensive national portfolio. The most recent valuation showed a decline of only 1.5 per cent, or $12 million, over the half-year to $783 million. Investors should keep a close eye on asset price movement during the coming reporting season.
Deutsche Bank recently started coverage of the company with a "buy" recommendation. Deutsche Bank research associate Jason Weate says Abacus's price-earnings ratio underpins the value of the business. The broader listed property market is trading on a P/E ratio of 13.
Deutsche Bank has a 12-month price target of 47¢ on the stock. Its sum-of-the-parts valuation is 49¢, which it says is based on conservative assumptions.
Abacus's earnings mix is about 60 per cent property, 20 per cent funds management and 20 per cent joint ventures and finance.
Weate says Abacus has funds tied up in loans to external vehicles – which have limited growth prospects. However, if it could exit these loan arrangements and invest the funds elsewhere there is a potential upside.
If Abacus could extract most of its interim loans, it would be close to its target mix of 70 per cent principal investment and 30 per cent joint ventures. "As [Abacus] demonstrates an ability to redeploy capital back towards its core activities, the stock should be positively re-rated," Weate says.
