Security for the average home network
So I am wondering what everyone else's opinions are as far as the security needs for a home network. I'm not sure if I need something like IPCop (is it really necessary vs. my router?) as far as upgrading my firewall needs or do I need to start looking at other ways to secure my network from the wireless end also. I've checked out the WiTopia service but is WPA enough in your opinion?

IPCop would only protect against internet hacking - If you really have security concerns rethink the wireless LAN as this is your greatest threat.

How Fatigue Affects Your Body During Exercise
"I can't run anymore" – a well-recognised thought? Well if it is, and your legs ache and feel painful during exercise, then this may have been caused by fatigue!
So what is it? Fatigue is the inability to sustain a given power output or speed. It occurs when the supply of energy, as ATP, does not match the demand for energy in the working muscles and mainly when lactic acid builds up in the muscles. So, during explosive activities such as sprinting, fatigue develops due to ATP and Phosphocreatine (PC) depletion – This is simply running low on energy within your muscles. It definitely affects performance and performing at your peak with the least possible fatigue means you cross the finish line faster (if you are a runner that is).
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the body's energy currency, found in all cells, and when broken down it releases energy. The body transfers chemical energy found in food, such as carbohydrates, into usable energy found in ATP.
Fuelling properly can help delay the onset of fatigue, but I'll talk a bit more about that in another post, make sure to check that out soon!
If you are an athlete, you will have more than likely experienced fatigue during high intensity exercise, or a fast run, cycle or swim in other words. For me, as a long running sprinter (400m), I get this a lot as my event is very strenuous and I actually struggle to combat fatigue effectively. There are ways both you and I can delay the build-up of lactic acid and fatigue, which I'll mention later. Lactic acid may also occur in all sports where some kind of speed is repetitively being used.
Fatigue can occur during anaerobic respiration (referring to a process without oxygen). This is when your body is working so hard and muscles demand more oxygen than can be supplied by the body. This lack of oxygen triggers the use of anaerobic respiration. The anaerobic system involves only the partial breakdown of glucose (sugar), as oxygen is not present. In anaerobic respiration a substance called pyruvate is made but, because as it is only the partial breakdown of glucose, pyruvate enters lactate fermentation instead – which, you guessed it, forms lactic acid! You understanding yet?
So, if anything, all you need to take away from that is that high intensity exercise can cause the build-up of lactic acid.
This is known as the lactate threshold – The point at which the lactic acid starts to accumulate is known as the Onset of Blood Lactacid Accumulation (OBLA). This means the anaerobic system produces more lactic acid that can be dealt with, and builds up in muscles. This build up is the 'wall' stopping us from running! The only way to get rid of it is to return to aerobic exercise, or rest… so the oxygen can flush out the lactic acid!
Fight Fatigue
So, you want to combat fatigue? There are simple ways such as dietary intake before exercise, but the method I'm going to explain is a bit more hard work than just eating right, but it is much more effective!
Training! Sounds easy, but training correctly is the best way. Increasing muscle strength and strength endurance can help slow to onset of lactic acid very slightly in explosive activities (200m).
It should be recognised that activity at maximal intensity (100m sprint) can only occur using the energy made from anaerobic energy systems and it is likely fatigue won't occur at all in such a short amount of time. On the other hand if you are a games player running a lot or usually run longer distances then increasing stamina is the way forward as you will need the aerobic system to continue working. Stamina is often referred to as the ability to sustain stressful physical exertion for a period of time.
Stamina links with Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 Max), defined as the maximum amount of oxygen that can be taken in, transported and used by the body in one minute. The higher the VO2 max the more oxygen that is supplied and used by working muscles, resulting in more energy being produced aerobically.
So, basically the long and the short of it is train well for stamina and your breathing and lungs and blood will all become more efficient, giving your body more oxygen. As you have (hopefully) learnt above more oxygen will prevent fatigue and lactic acid hitting your muscles so early, which can help us all!

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded two grants totaling more than $2.8 million to the state of Hawaii in an effort to help protect the 50th state's coral reefs, shorelines and water quality. Democratic Senator Daniel K. Inouye of Hawaii said, "The Hawaiian archipelago is home to rare species of marine life and delicate coral reef ecosystems that must be maintained and protected. Our beaches and coastal zones are used by residents and visitors from around the world, and it is important that we continue to invest in conservation and coastal management efforts. I would like to thank the administration for nearly four decades of helping Hawaii preserve our coral reefs and shorelines."
The awards mark the 38th year that NOAA has continued funding to the state so Hawaii can continue its federally approved coastal management program. The breakdown includes $2.1 million that will be disbursed for such projects as public education and outreach, policy analysis, participation in the Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative and a coastal nonpoint pollution control program. The balance of the grant money will go to fund long-term coral reef monitoring, scientific research, restoration efforts, an invasive species action plan, support for critical program staffing, action plans to address land-based pollution threats to the state's reef systems and community action initiatives.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2011 put a dollar amount on the value of Hawaii's coral reefs, stating that the reefs were worth more than $30 billion. This figure was based on a peer-reviewed report commissioned by NOAA that asked 3,200 U.S. households in June 2009 to October 2009, "How much money would you devote to improve and preserve Hawaii's coral reefs every year?"

A/N: This story is mostly musical-based (most elements from the movie are not here), told post-Rent with flashbacks way before Rent. While writing it I came up with some new twists and theories about the oh-so-overdone plot, so bear with me, give me a chance. I hope you won't be disappointed. Also, since these are mostly snapshots from Maureen's life bunched together, if you get the feeling that some parts move to fast and others too slow, it's kind of on purpose, because there were some things I wanted to focus on whereas other things just had to be said, mostly so that the chronology would make sense. So no flames about that because I'm aware of it. Otherwise reviews, suggestions and ways of improvement are always welcome!
Disclaimer- the Rent characters and plot-line are the eternal property of Jonathan Larson. Along the way there's gonna be some other stuff that are not mine, like references to songs and musicals, so I'll state it once instead of repeating it over and over- I don't own 'em, I rent.
On My Own
The orchestra played its final notes and the curtain fell upon the stage. As the stage-lights died out, the audience exploded. Their clamors echoed from wall to wall in the enormous theater house, loud and deafening. Then the main lights flickered on, signaling the beginning of the intermission. People all over turned to speak with one another, beaming with excitement. This was, by all means, one of the most successful opening nights Broadway had ever witnessed. It would definitely be remembered for a very long time.
She ran off-stage, following other actors and dancers in colorful costumes back to their dressing-rooms. In spite of the hateful mixture of sweat and makeup running down her face, the hair that stuck to her forehead, the heavy dress that was clinging to her body, making the heat even more unbearable, she had the most brilliant smile on, lightening her face with a remarkable glow. The adrenaline was buzzing in her ears, beating simultaneously with her heart, making her feel alive. This was what she loved best; being high with adrenaline, sweeping the audience off its feet, making it beg for more, hearing its applause way after it ended, never wishing it to fade away. For her, as for everyone else in the business, it was an addiction of the worst kind.
"Amazing first act, Johnson!" someone called in her direction as she went down the stairs. Her smile got impossibly wider as she shook her head in the man's direction, acknowledging his compliment. She continued to make her way through actors and stage-technicians to her dressing-room. It was her first time in the leading role, after so many times she ended up as a chorus girl or a useless understudy, usually for some unimportant role where there was never a real need in a replacement. All around her, people were talking about what had just taken place onstage. The words were whirling in her head, familiar yet somehow more meaningful than ever before, making her want to bounce up and down with excitement, like a little girl on Christmas morning. Terrific performances… Midnight reviews… Tony nominations…
"Sir, you can't go through here!" The voice, warning and persistent, shook her from her reverie. She recognized it to be Adam's, one of the theater's security men. As they were more or less the same age, they were always flirting with one another, but always as a way to release the tension during the intensive period of final rehearsals, rather than something serious. And both of them were very aware of that. He was always nice to her, making sure that she was okay and bringing her bottles of water during long rehearsals. And he always addressed her as "Miss Johnson," never by her first name, which was something she really liked. She stopped and listened. It sounded as if someone was sneaking backstage again. Some reporters tried to do that on their preview night couple of weeks back. It didn't end well.
"I need to see her!" said another voice, kind of urgently.
"Sir, if you won't step back, I'm afraid we'll have to call security," said a third voice.
"You are security!" Her eyebrows knotted together. She knew this voice, she realized. It was one of those voices she wished to leave behind her. "Look, I'm not some psycho fan of hers, I just need to-"
She turned, and stared. He stared back. Gazes locked, chocolate brown with icy blue. It felt as if everything stopped still as she approached the two tough-looking men who held him back, and gave them a questioning look.
"Miss Johnson, do you know this man?" asked Adam.
She hesitated, and stole a glace at him again. He looked just as she remembered, except for his eyes. There was something very old and haunted in them. It should have bothered her, as his eyes have always been so youthful and alert, but right now she just dismissed it. She had no idea how he managed to get in there, or why he even bothered, but she definitely didn't need this when she had a very emotional second act ahead of her. She shook her head, avoiding his eyes. "No. I don't."
"Maureen?" he asked in amazement, staring at her in disbelief. "Maureen, what are you-"
"We won't ask you again, sir. Please step back now."
She turned her back and hurried to her dressing-room, his protests leading her way, his eyes drilling holes in her back. He was calling her name once, twice, and then his voice ceased, as if he understood he'd better leave.
She found a refuge in her dressing-room. She closed the door and leaned against it. One of the benefits of having the lead on a Broadway show was the fact that you got your very own dressing-room. And boy, did she need privacy now. She moved away from the door, reminding herself she had less than 15 minutes to change for the beginning of the second act. Luckily, she wouldn't have to go onstage in the first 20 minutes or so, which allowed her some time to calm down.
As she zipped up her dress, she realized she was shaking. Damn him. She hated when people had the power to get to her that way. He was one of few people who always did and she didn't think he even knew it. She tried not to think about it, but all her thoughts stirred to this very direction.
She stared at her reflection in the mirror, letting her hair fall down her shoulders. If she'd close her eyes, she'd remember the first time she had met them, those people who became closer to her than her own family, who changed her life from end to end in a way she never believed was possible. Was it really so long ago? She tried to figure out how many years have passed since she had last seen them all, and realized that she couldn't. No more than five years, she told herself eventually, but even that felt like forever.
She looked around her dressing-room, as if for the first time. Since it was opening night, the small room was packed with flowers and "good luck" cards. Her costumes hung on a rack at the far end of the room, except for the dress she had just taken off and left on the back of the couch.
How did I get here, how the hell?
She got what she wanted. This has always been her dream. Broadway's glory, a leading role in what was sure to be the next big hit, a possible Tony nomination, and she was just nearing her 30th year. It happened. Broadway was finally ready for her. So how come it felt so wrong? She figured that getting your dreams wasn't so exciting as you hoped it would. But did she regret the step she took? She wasn't sure. This felt right. This was what she meant to be all her life. It felt as if she could never be something else, she could never have done anything else. Besides, she was never the type of person to regret choices she has made. And why would she? She believed that each choice was right, in its own way.
Well, except for some choices maybe, she thought, her thought shifting towards what had just happened, in spite of herself. She shook her head, as if to get the sight of his haunted eyes, his amazed and broken expression out of her head, but there it stayed, clear and vivid. It felt as if she would remember it for the rest of her life.
She didn't ask him to walk back into her life so suddenly, she reminded herself, as if she needed some sort of justification. She made her choice. And she wasn't the same person she was five years ago. She wasn't ready to delve into her past. She had a lot on her mind as it was. He had no right to come back like that after he made it pretty clear he didn't want anything to do with her. She came to give him a second chance, to give that chance to herself, and he didn't take it. So she moved on, and did it in the only way she knew, on her own. And now it was just too late. He lost his chance.
And so did she, she thought sadly, closing her eyes.

Bob Vander Plaats and his Family Leader organization have found a way to maximize their impact on the Ames Straw Poll. The group is asking all presidential candidates to sign a "Marriage Vow" pledge, made up of 14 separate promises. Those who sign, and those who don't, will be announced just one or two days prior the Ames Straw Poll.
The sometimes bizarre news conference included an inference by IFPC president Chuck Hurley that babies born into slavery were better off than black babies born today because more slave children were raised in "two-parent households", Bob Vander Plaats saying married couples have "better sex", and a loud Waste Management garbage truck in the background that was left idling for most of the time Vander Plaats spoke.
The group's press release says the purpose of the pledge is "to have on record the personal convictions of each presidential candidate as it relates to the issue of marriage." The Family Leader is hosting three public forums with each candidate, requiring private meetings for groups of evangelical leaders with each candidate, flying around the state in private jets with each candidate, and hosting a debate with all the candidates. It would seem they have ample opportunity to get each candidate on the record. Demanding this "Marriage Vow" right before the Straw Poll is the coup de grace in a massive effort to make sure all the presidential candidates pander to Vander Plaats' organization.
The timing is clearly aimed at showcasing The Family Leader's power among Iowa caucus goers. Presidential candidates risk alienating social conservatives by not signing the pledge. A backlash will be created at the worst possible time. Since the list of those who do and don't take the oath comes just hours before the crucial first vote of the GOP presidential primary, there will not be ample time for candidates to explain their reasons for refusing.
All the candidates will receive the pledge by July 15th and have until August 1st to return the document. Iowa Family Policy Leader president Chuck Hurley said the pledge was not finalized until late in the night prior to their Thursday press conference. Some of the promises contained in the pledge include:
-Sign off on support of personal fidelity to his/her spouse
-Appointing faithful constitutionalists as judges
-Opposition to any redefinition of marriage
-Prompt reform uneconomic and anti-marriage aspects of welfare policy, tax policy and divorce law
-Support for legal advocacy for the Defense of Marriage Act
-Support for humane efforts to protect women and children
-Rejection of anti-women Sharia Islam
-Safeguards for all married and unmarried U.S. military personnel
-Commitment to downsizing government and the burden upon American families
The evangelical activist group will not endorse any candidate who does not sign the pledge. However, all of them will be invited to The Family Leader's debate in November. The organization has vowed to remain neutral until after that event. However, during Thursday's press conference, reporter Kay Henderson grilled Vander Plaats and Hurley about The Family Leader's decision to publicize a Tea Party event headlined by Michele Bachmann. They did not promote any of the other events on the recent Tea Party bus tour, which included several other candidates. One of the few attendees at Thursday's press conference was longtime Vander Plaats ally Barb Heki, who now works for Bachmann's campaign. Hurley claimed the free publicity for Bachmann was "inadvertent" and Vander Plaats said he would "take the fall for that if that happened." Bachmann quickly signed the pledge, becoming the first candidate to do so.
The Family Leader joins a long line of special interest groups demanding pledges from the 2012 candidates. Mitt Romney and Herman Cain suffered a backlash from conservatives when they refused to sign the Susan B. Anthony organization's pro-life oath. Other pledges have centered on economic issues and cutting government spending.
Vander Plaats was asked if he believes those other pledges do not go far enough. "Exactly," the Family Leader CEO replied. "We're committed to this. We put a lot of thought into this. We put a lot of research into this and we've laid out the vow very forthrightly. I think the candidates will embrace this."
President Obama was also asked to sign the "Marriage Vow" pledge. He has already refused. Some in the media have labeled Bob Vander Plaats a "kingmaker" in the 2012 race. Now the question becomes, which potential "kings" will swear fealty to Vander Plaats and which ones will refuse his latest power grab.

Joe Biden's whistle-stop tour of Mayo to trace ancestry
US vice-president Joe Biden has flown into the west of Ireland with family on a special trip to trace their ancestry.
Mr Biden's US Air Force C17 plane landed at Knock Airport in Co Mayo for a whistle-stop tour of towns and parishes where his forefathers came from.
A massive security operation will be mounted over the next five days with sweeping road closures and parking restrictions in a number of areas of Dublin as well as towns and villages in Mayo and Louth.
But it is understood Mr Biden is eager to meet the public as he gets a flavour of his Irish roots.
Mr Biden's great-great-great-grandfather Edward Blewitt and great-great-grandfather Owen Finnegan both emigrated during Ireland's famine.
He was greeted by Taoiseach Enda Kenny and dignitaries and 100 flag-waving children from local schools.
Mr Biden was blessed by local priest Fr Richard Gibbons after he set foot on the tarmac.
He will meet a number of distant relatives as he tours the west.
Before travelling to Mayo the vice-president had talks with President Michael D Higgins on Irish, European and current global affairs including human rights.
They also discussed issues facing the European Union and the peace process in Northern Ireland.
A spokesman for President Higgins said he commended the vice-president on his work on the elimination of all forms of violence against women, while undocumented Irish in the US was also on the agenda.
Mr Biden has made several private visits to Ireland but made no secret of his wish to visit before his term in office ends later this year.
He had promised it to his son Beau, a veteran of the Iraq war, but he died last year from brain cancer before the commitment could be met.
Among other engagements in the west of Ireland tomorrow is a game of golf with Mr Kenny, which will see him fulfil a long-standing promise.
Mr Biden travelled with children and grandchildren for the week-long visit.
He flew into Dublin yesterday evening and, after being welcomed at Government Buildings, declared it was "good to be home".
Mr Biden will stay overnight in Mayo before returning to Dublin for a series of engagements on Friday, including at Trinity College and a speech in Dublin Castle, an all-ticket affair but open to the public.
The keynote address will touch on the US and Ireland's shared heritage, as well as "the values of tolerance, diversity and inclusiveness".
A trip to Co Louth on Saturday will also take in sites with ancestral links while Newgrange is also on the agenda.
Before he returns to Washington on Sunday, Mr Kenny will host a lunch for the US vice-president at the State-owned Farmleigh House in Dublin's Phoenix Park.

EDWARDSVILLE – SIUE women's basketball coach Paula Buscher announced the signing of Canton's Cloe Churchill and Salem's Dearria Watson to National Letters of Intent to join the Cougars in the 2016-17 season.
"We are very excited about the potential of these two students-athletes," said Buscher. "We genuinely believe that each signee has the ability to impact our program immediately in a multitude of ways. Our Cougar family grew much larger and stronger with the addition of Cloe and Dearria."
Churchill, a 5-foot-9 guard, garnered all-conference and special mention all-state honors in each of the last three seasons at Canton High School. Churchill is Canton's all-time leader in points and steals. She finished the 2015 season averaging 20 points and six rebounds. She already has recorded 1,480 points in her high school career under coach Layne Langholf. Churchill will be looked upon to bring her scoring mentality to the Cougars.
She is the daughter of Kathy and Marc Churchill. She also played AAU basketball for the Springfield Predators coached by Joby Crum.
"Cloe is a crafty guard who is a threat from the perimeter and off the dribble," said Buscher. "Paired with her tenacity and competitiveness, Cloe is a well-rounded player who we believe can contribute right away to our program."
Watson, the daughter of Melissa Martin, earned second team all-state from the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association last season. She also garnered first team All-Apollo Conference honors. Watson was also named to the Mattoon and Salem All-tournament teams, and was voted best offensive player for her team.
A 6-1 forward, Watson will be a potential matchup problem for opponents. She averaged a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds per contest while shooting 48 percent from the field last season. She also joined the 1,000-point club as a junior.
"Dearria is a talented all-around athlete who has played for one of the best coaches in the state of Illinois, Janet Holst," said Buscher. "She is a great fit for our style of play, and we are looking forward to her success as a Cougar."
Buscher said both Churchill and Watson are quality young women on and off the court.
"We are looking forward to watching these two have successful senior seasons and are proud to have them join our Cougar family," Buscher added.

This is strictly my opinion so don't jump down my throat or write a ten-page article about how you're right and I am wrong.
Frozen is hyped beyond belief, it really is. I am entitled to have my opinion just like everyone else so if you don't agree, don't go out of your way to try to make me feel bad, it is how I feel, two people are not going to like the same thing.
In this world I was taught to respect other people's thoughts and/or feelings.
Don't try to be a pretentious know it all just because you are riding the Frozen train. If you don't like what I have to say please just go somewhere else, don't make an effort to be rude or obnoxious.
I can name 10 other Disney movies that deserve more praise than this overly obnoxious Disney movie. I don't care about a snowman that talks or rock trolls? Seriously what is that?
The movie was cute but felt rushed; I know Disney movies have tons of singing but for some reason the singing got on my nerves in this movie.
I would definitely watch the movie with my little sister because that is what I would do but I wouldn't buy the movie to add to my Disney collection.
Who cares if Frozen is on the TV guide? Is that a thing that I have to care about?
I have seen other movies or shows on the TV guide and haven't thought twice about it.
I don't care if the sisters from Frozen are going to be on Once Upon A Time which FYI I absolutely love that show so it may be good, maybe.
Again don't jump down my throat because you are upset that someone isn't being a sheep and conforming to what others want, it is ok to follow your own song and dance.

Art has fascinated me since childhood, but it was only later in adulthood that art became important as a personal form of expression. I discovered I could sculpt about the same time we discovered my husband, Don, had Alzheimer's. Sculpting then, for me, became both an escape from his illness and a connection to him. Art, always our strong common bond, became, even in his illness, a welcoming doorway for us both into a wider world of art. It became a way to experience some moments of joy even as we plummeted, tethered together, into the black vortex of his disease.
Whether you become a caregiver gradually or all of sudden due to a crisis, or whether you are a caregiver willingly or by default, many emotions surface when you take on the job of caregiving. Some of these feelings happen right away and some don't surface until you have been caregiving for awhile. Whatever your situation, it is important to remember that you, too, are important. All of your emotions, good and bad, about caregiving are not only allowed, but valid and important.
I have multiple illnesses and receive only SSI, though I did try to work some freelance after getting disability. I am currently living with, and trying to look after two parents. They are in their late 80s/early 90s and very luckily have only mild dementia. I attribute some of this to the fact that I am there and, being a person who is interested in many things, create a stimulating environment.
Caregiving can last for many years. Caregivers set their own lives aside to care for someone else. When that person dies, caregivers have to figure out what to do with their lives now. There is no preparation for this transition. Generally you are so busy caregiving, and life changed so long ago, that there has not been time nor energy or even the psychological will to think about what comes next. Here are some tips that might help you during this time:
Keep these simple steps and strategies in mind to ensure that you as a caregiver find time and resources to take care of yourself.
An estimated 44 million Americans age 18 and older provide unpaid assistance and support to older people and adults with disabilities who live in the community.1 The value of this unpaid labor force is estimated to be at least $306 billion annually,2 nearly double the combined costs of home health care ($43 billion) and nursing home care ($115 billion).3
Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a six-week education program developed by Legacy Caregiver Services and Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging for family and friends caring for older adults with cognitive and chronic impairment. The program focuses on the self-care of family caregivers. A train-the-trainer education program is available to professionals interested in using this intervention in their work with caregivers. (Winner of the 2007 National Family Caregiving Award in the "Education" category)
Legacy Caregiver Services
A dynamic 2-hour workshop for YOU, the caregiver! The caregiving of your family member may extend over many years, and the tendency may be to set your life aside during this time. You are invited to stay open to change, to think about other ways you might be handling your caregiving situation, and how you can take action on YOUR OWN behalf by learning a few tools to help YOU take care of YOU!
Subjects covered are: steps to identify sources of stress and how to manage them, negative self-talk, inability to ask for help, and identifying what we can and cannot change.
It's not easy balancing your caregiving role and other parts of your life when you care for someone with a chronic health condition such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's or stroke. Powerful Tools is a FREE, six-week class (1 day a week) giving caregivers invaluable tools to help reduce stress, make difficult decisions, communicate more effectively in challenging situations, and most importantly, prevent caregiver burnout!

Delivering a balanced budget and creating a business environment that encourages job growth were among the key legislative issues that state officials addressed last week during the Central Connecticut Chambers of Commerce's annual legislative breakfast meeting.
These issues also serve as two major priorities that the chamber's Regional Legislative Action Committee recently completed for the 2017 Legislative Session, which kicked off on Jan. 4.
Comprised of seven legislative chairs from each chamber affiliate and business leaders from the community, the committee is a bipartisan group that focuses on working with elected officials to provide a healthy and growing business climate in the region.
"We carefully crafted our legislative priorities for the 2017 Legislative Session," said Paul Lavoie, chairman of the Regional Legislative Action Committee. "We believe that a straightforward, sharp and focused approach is better suited in order for our business voices to be heard in Hartford."
Sponsored by The Ultimate Companies, Inc., Webster Bank, ESPN, Covanta Energy, and Bristol Hospital, the breakfast meeting took place last Tuesday at the DoubleTree Hotel, where local officials, chamber affiliates and small and large businesses were in attendance.
The panel featured state Representative and House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz (D-Southington, Berlin), state Representative Whit Betts (R-Bristol, Plymouth Terryville), state Representative Mike Demicco (D-Farmington), state Senator Joe Markley (R-Southington, Cheshire, Prospect, Waterbury, Wolcott), state Senator Henri Martin (R-Bristol, Plainville, Harwinton, Plymouth, Thomaston), state Representative Chris Ziogas (D-Bristol) and state Representative Dr. William Petit (R-Plainville, New Britain).
With a projected budget deficit of over $1 billion, all panelists agreed that finding a solution to the state's financial problem will be a challenge, but presented different ways to cut costs.
Aresimowicz said he has urged his caucus to review each line item of the budget.
"This year will be more difficult," said Aresimowicz. "If there's something in the budget that isn't giving us the results we want, we're going to cut it. We're also going to look at the core functions of the state to decide what we do well and what we don't do so well."
One priority, said Petit, is to protect the Education Cost Sharing grant funding for municipalities while decreasing property taxes.
As reported during a recent special Town Council meeting that addressed the budget outlook for next fiscal year, Plainville Community Schools learned of a $96,499 reduction in ECS funding last December. This mid-year reduction came after the district already had a $74,629 reduction in ECS funding last spring.
"If we don't protect funding to municipalities and property income taxes go up…we drive people away," said Petit.
Petit also mentioned bonding as a critical area.
"We need to do it [bonding] for huge projects like schools, highway construction, etc., but for small projects, we're going to have to find other ways to fund them," said Petit, adding that changes in some of the state employee contracts also can make difference in the budget.
Martin said the first priority for balancing the budget is to identify the definition of a spending cap. He also mentioned mandates that businesses face as another problem to address.
"Not one mandate has been changed to help relieve the financial stress that was placed on our businesses," said Martin. "What I propose is that we charge agencies and departments to identify three regulatory policies or mandates that we place on municipalities and businesses… come back to the legislature and ask us to rescind or repeal them—it would be a great start."
When addressing how to create a business environment to encourage job growth, Martin said the communities with the greatest economic growth nationwide are those that have lower taxes and less government spending.
"Send them a clear message that we are serious about getting our fiscal house in order," said Martin.
Another way to encourage job growth, said Petit, is to push for more partnerships between vocational technical schools and local businesses to ensure that students gain the skills that are needed to fill various positions in the manufacturing industry.
"I know we've done some of that already, and I think we need to do more, so the businesses can say, 'this is what we need. This needs to be in your curriculum because we need people trained in this area,'" said Petit, who currently started to look at a bill that addresses regulations and fees on small businesses.
To encourage job growth, Aresimowicz said he has put forward a package of bills that were done in a bipartisan way, including one that separates vocational technical schools from the Connecticut State Department of Education.
"We're going to put them out on their own, let them explore public/private partnerships, let them get additional funding," said Aresimowicz.
Another bill to that would encourage job growth is tax credits for college graduates to keep them in the state.
"Maybe the first year when you graduate, you come back to Connecticut, you start a full-time job, 100 percent of your income tax is waived, 75 percent the second year, 50 percent the third, 25 [percent] the fourth [year]," said Aresimowicz. "That will keep the graduates here."

Greg Inglis and Valentine Holmes have spearheaded Australia to a comprehensive 26-6 win over New Zealand at nib Stadium.
Inglis earned man of the match honours on the back of a try double and Holmes wasn't far behind on his Test debut scoring one try and setting up another.
The five-tries-to-one win before a ground-record crowd of 20, 283 in Perth on Saturday night was the first rugby league international to be played in the western capital.
Coach Mal Meninga said the convincing victory would give Australia some valuable momentum into the Four Nations starting in Britain later this month.
It was the Kangaroos second win under Meninga from two attempts after their 16-0 defeat of the Kiwis in Newcastle in May.
"I am very happy with the performance," Meninga said.
"Our start was excellent and we really dominated field position. They wrestled that back and started to control the ruck better. We responded and I was really happy with that.
"Our defence was really good but we can play better with the footy."
Inglis capped off a fantastic week which began with the birth of his daughter Quinn Sybella on Monday and ended with a try in each half and a dominant effort out wide which brought 164m.
Inglis trained with the team for the first time at Friday's captain's run after arriving in Perth on Thursday.
"Greg says he doesn't need to train now," Meninga joked.
"He said he will just do the captain's runs before each game.
"It just goes to show what a professional he is."
Australia dominated early and led 8-0 after 14 minutes courtesy of tries to Darius Boyd in the ninth minute and Inglis' first in the 14th minute.
The Kiwis gained the ascendancy after that and a Kevin Proctor try in the 22nd minute meant the Australians went to the break with an 8-6 lead after a defence-dominated first half.
After the break a gusty but clumsy Kiwis side couldn't match the Australians.
Holmes scored his try in the 45th minute, Inglis added his second in the 69th minute.
A Boyd Cordner touchdown three minutes from time sealed the win.
It was a tough initiation for new Kiwis coach David Kidwell in his first Test in charge.
"It was a disappointing result but it wasn't disappointing the way we started the camp," Kidwell said.
"We prepared very well and if we keep doing that nine times out of 10 we will get the result."

Several years ago the magazines were sickeningly full of reports of some of our European neighbours mutilating the carp they were catching, mutilating them by cutting sections from their fins, particularly their tail fin. It seemed that those responsible for this had their own unique cuts to show they had caught the fish first and sadly, I guess, to make sure no one else got such a nice picture of the fish with perfect fins.
Like many, this totally disgusted me at the time, as it would now, how any caring angler could go to these extremes was totally beyond me and sickened me in the extreme. Since then, there have been fish cropping up here, there and everywhere with bits missing from their fins, particularly their caudal fin – the tail. Now it is so easy to dismiss this, particularly when fishing overseas as being the result of a certain nation's anglers doing this. But is it?
Unfortunately I have recently returned from a session in France and most of the big fish I saw caught there had totally messed up tails and the other anglers present were soon coming out with moans of the state the poor fish had been left in after their only crime was picking up the wrong food item and making an angler's day. This is what really riled my conscience when I first read of the horrific reports that had hit the press. The angler is on a high, the fish has been punished and then to really rub things in, the fish is put through even more which is then going to affect its swimming and balancing and careful maneuverability in its watery home.
Now I have been thinking about this a lot recently and all is not as it would, at first, seem, and like it or not, a lot of us could be partly responsible for some of these broken fins and it certainly isn't just down to the insane cutting them.
Unfortunately the angler carrying the fish doesn't really see this as clearly as an observer looking in. So I can hear you all saying now that you should slide a sling under the fish before lifting it from the water and never lift them in the landing net.
Now in the ideal world this is fine, but unfortunately we don't live in the ideal world and I know from personal observation that these methods, even when enforced by fishery rules, aren't necessarily adhered to. I must admit, slipping a sling under a netted fish to lift it from the water to mat makes it rather difficult when alone to make sure the pectoral and pelvic fins are facing the right way. Another story there, I once saw a pectoral fin ripped off of a 30lb plus fish because the angler lifted it whilst the pec' was splayed out rather than flat to its body. Please, please always check.
Now, back to the week I recently spent in France. It was hard going but some decent fish were coming out, including a couple of 50lb plus fish (which unfortunately had badly damaged tails) when another was landed. I had already gone up the bank to offer any assistance required as it was being carried in the net from the water to the cradle. Straight away I made the comment that yet another had a totally messed up tail. The two other anglers present were both commenting on what a mess these fish were in as the carp came to rest in the cradle. Now imagine all our surprises when the landing net was removed and this fish actually had a perfect tail!
This was when the bombshell suddenly dropped and confirmed totally the suspicions I'd had for some time. That tail in the mesh, whilst being carried from the water, looked just the same shape/damage the other couple of fish had carried and to my mind, without any shadow of doubt, that fish, if just an inch of extra growth or possibly another few seconds in that mesh and it would have suffered the same fate as its half-tailed companions in the lake. Quite simply, although the landing net frame was fine for netting these fish, it was/is actually the mesh shape, the bowl of the landing net that isn't the right shape for real big fish, causing them to bend too much and pinch their tail fins in too much.
If we skip back several paragraphs to the local common I'd mentioned, its previous capture had been by what we used to refer cruelly as a 'Noddy'. A 'Noddy' meant nothing more than someone who hadn't carp fished for very long. Now it had been presumed that the said 'Noddy' had probably dropped the fish resulting in its broken tail. Looking back now, things are falling into place, that same 'Noddy' only had a small landing net and he had experienced trouble netting it, for he brought a larger net before he returned (I remember selling it to him).
This is not a dig at any company and not a plug for any others. It is an awareness plea that will hopefully be picked up by all.
I have accumulated a few landing nets over the years with upgrading and with having to leave landing nets on site at different venues then dropping my place so subsequently ending up with even more. Since returning home from France I have gone through my net collection and despite netting a lot of fish in them, I only have a couple that I would now deem totally safe to net a large carp in. 50lb-plus carp will slip into them all no problem, but it's when you come the lift the fish out when the issue strikes home. If a tail is stuck in a corner of a mesh, then you potentially have a tail breaker there.
In my humble opinion, nets simply stitched along the base (just like a flat bag with two corners) are potentially the most dangerous. The nets that actually have a bowl sewn into the bottom are much less likely to grip and break a tail.
Going back to the different shaped fish scenarios, please take note and start looking at fish being carried from the water in a landing net. Long torpedo fish appear to sit much more comfortably in a net when picked up than the deep-bodied fatties. It is the deep-bodied fish which seem to have much less muscle in their back end, thus a much softer tail root that seem the most prone to sitting awkward in a net, thus potential damage. As I look back over many years of carp angling I have certainly seen a lot more deep-bodied, fat fish with tail fin damage than I have the more classic shaped longer fish. Yes, it has taken me until now for all these little snippets and clues to finally fall into place, but fortunately they have.
If you are one of these with a straight-bottomed landing net please take even more care than ever before, particularly with deep-bodied fish and where at all possible please, think about sliding a sling under the fish before going to lift them from the water. No one wants to see a carp with broken fins and no one wants to be holding a bleeding carp for the pictures should you be the one to start the damage.
When a carp has completed its growing years, tail damage will not be replaced by new growth. If the fish is still growing then it's possible for them to re-grow their tails but this is growth that could be put into other parts of the fish such as speedier tissue repair and actual body growth. I know we all like to think we look after the fish we catch but please go the extra mile and please be aware.

text: Released this week, through the lead sponsorship of Louisiana Economic Development (LED), is a compact and comprehensive business guide to federal and state incentives initiated in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Louisiana Gulf Opportunity Zone Business Guide, published in conjunction with Louisiana Business Inc. and other private-sector partners, offers large and small business owners and executives a valuable primer on navigating this set of investment programs – dubbed the most aggressive package of business incentives in U.S. history. "Louisiana has extraordinary opportunities for business development and expansion right now," said LED Secretary Michael J. Olivier. "But navigating the Gulf Opportunity Zone and other incentive programs, which cover nearly the entire state, can be a daunting task. Through this guide, LED set out to produce a tool that highlights the most important aspects of these very technical programs, using maps and examples to bring them to life, making it easier for local as well as national businesses to take advantage of them." The guide is composed of 14 parts, each detailing the components of the Gulf Opportunity Zone legislation, as well as other incentive programs, such as Renewal Communities and New Markets Tax Credit. Each offers an expert's view on how the incentive works. Many sections feature "real-life" examples of how a company might apply the incentive. The guide was authored by experts in banking, law and accounting, including Regions Bank, Breazeale, Sachse & Wilson, LLP, Postlethwaite & Netterville and Andrews Commercial Mortgage. In addition to LED's special mailing to 1,000 of the nation's top businesses, the guides are being distributed through numerous industry and professional organizations across the state. The guide's entire content is available online at gozoneguide.com. For more information, contact Jonnique Caldwell at email@example.com.

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique: 'We deserved to win Super Cup - we were better'
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique feels his side were worthy winners of the UEFA Super Cup due to the effort they put in to see off Spanish rivals Sevilla 5-4 in Tbilisi.
Reported Manchester United target Pedro came off the bench in extra-time and struck the decisive goal in the 115th minute from close range after the Champions League winners had let slip a 4-1 lead during the second half.
Victory brought with it Barcelona's fourth title of 2015, adding to their La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League successes, and Luis Enrique believes it was well deserved.
"Sevilla played a very complete match," he told the club's website. "I think we were good physically, even in extra-time, and the effort was worth it.
"This was a clear example of how difficult it is to win titles. Everyone puts us down as the favourites but we have to appreciate what these players have done because it is not easy. Football can have surprises
"They got back in the game but the equaliser jolted us awake. We made a great effort and we're very satisfied. What they did deserves a lot of merit. In extra-time we were better and we deserved the title."
Europa League champions Sevilla led through an Ever Banega free-kick after just three minutes, but the honours looked to be heading to Barca when Lionel Messi's double, plus further strikes from Rafinha and Luis Suarez, gave them a comfortable advantage.
However, Sevilla refused to buckle and goals from Jose Antonio Reyes and Kevin Gameiro gave them hope before substitute Yevhen Konoplyanka levelled with nine minutes remaining to take the game into extra-time.
In the end, Pedro's goal proved the difference but Sevilla coach Unai Emery took far more positives than negatives from the performance.
He said: "I don't know if the result was fair, but with the chances we had I'm left with a sweet taste in my mouth.
"Hopefully, we can stay at this kind of competitive level for the whole season. We competed, we stayed with them and I think the team really deserved something.
"We know have to challenge ourselves now, to grow, to compete with them and see where we can go. We have taken a step here and defeat makes me proud of the team.
"I said before the match, the worst thing would be being unable to recognise the team but that didn't happen. There's cause for a lot of optimism at Sevilla."

Queen Martina reigns again to match Kings record
THE queen of the court still reigns. Martina Navratilova, the most enduring of all Wimbledon champions, turned her athletic back on Father Time again last night to win the mixed doubles final with Leander Paes and equal Billie Jean King's record of 20 Wimbledon titles.
Again and again she rises to the top of the game, unhindered by age and fired by an unstoppable determination to be the best. Is there no halting her? She is 46 and has 58 grand-slam titles to her name, but still she shows no sign of slowing down.
Such is the ferocity of the competitive spirit burning deep within Navratilova that it refuses to be contained by achievement. Her career began in 1973 and is 30 years old this…

Join David Rivers for an in-depth discussion in this video Converting Word documents to PDF and XPS, part of Migrating from Word 2003 to Word 2010.
If you needed to save your documents to a read-only format in Word 2003, you really didn't have many options. If we go to File and Save As in Word 2003, and look at some of the formats, the Save as type dropdown includes things like XML, which is a little more secure. You've also got some HTML options if you are publishing to a web site. As we scroll a little further down, you can see some text options, but nothing like PDF, the portable document format from Adobe, or XPS, the portable document format from Microsoft.
For those, we can flip over to Word 2010, and take a look at those options by going to Backstage view. We'll click the File tab and we'll go to Save As. Now when we click the drop-down button, and in this case we're using our Q4Report, you'll notice all the different formats including PDF. That's portable document format and it's the Adobe format. There is a free viewer available to anybody at Adobe.com. It allows you to view a read-only version, almost like a picture version of the document.
The Microsoft version of that is XPS. So you've got that on the list as well. Let's just click that dropdown again and click Cancel and go back to Backstage view by clicking the File tab, and looking at another option, which is to click Save & Send. Now here you have some options for both saving and sending at the same time, such as sending using email, and the formats that you can send via email include PDF and XPS right there. You'll see a little bit of a blurb about what each format does and the advantages.
Same thing if we select under File Types here, Create PDF/XPS Document. Here you'll see that documents looked the same on most computers when converted to these formats. Fonts are preserved. All the formatting and images are also preserved. You can't easily change the content, and the free viewers are out there. So anyone can actually view these documents. They don't have to have Microsoft Word installed to look at your document. So let's click Create PDF/XPS. You can see PDF is the default here. If we click the dropdown, the other option is XPS.
So it's up to you which format you like to use. PDF is still a little more popular than XPS. You can also choose the location where you want to save it. I'm going to the Desktop and click Publish. So it just takes a moment to convert your document. You still have your document in Word format, so the .docx file is still there. But now you've got a copy of it in the new format, which is PDF. If you've got the Adobe Reader installed, which most people do by default, it automatically launches and displays the document.
So here we are in the Adobe Reader program, the free download from Adobe.com. As we scroll down, we see that really the formatting, the entire integrity of our document has been maintained here as we scroll down through the three pages. So it's a great option for sharing your documents with others, especially when you don't want them to be able to make changes to those documents and you want everyone to be able to read the content regardless of whether they have Microsoft Word installed or not.

Field Marshal Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi resigned from the military to run for president on Wednesday, March 26, Islamists demonstrated in various places in Egypt, and the ensuing violence resulted in five deaths on Friday, March 28.
On Sunday, March 30 a soldier was killed in the Sinai. On the same day a student died in clashes between Islamists and security forces in Cairo. We tend to think that the government will be able to contain unrest from this source, but have concerns over the reaction to the unrest and the nature of support for Mr Sisi.
Elsewhere, a newish terror group, Ajnad Misr, has claimed responsibility for a triple bomb attack at Cairo University in Egypt on Wednesday, April 2 that killed at least two people. The bombs were planted near a police guard post and targeted policemen patrolling near the faculty, and the first or second blast killed a police brigadier-general.
The attack followed days of clashes between security forces and students protesting against the interim military-backed government and Field Marshal Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi's candidacy for president. In the wake of the blast Ajnad Misr claimed responsibility; this is a relatively recent group which claimed responsibility for bombings in January and which seems to have links to Ansar Beit Al-Maqdes, the most notorious of Egypt's jihadist groups. Hours after the blast, a governmental security committee said that it intended to present anti-terror legislation to cabinet for approval.
However, the attack does not change the outlook for security in Egypt, though the emergence of a new jihadi group shows the many ways in which Islamist rage at the coup against former president Mohammed Moursi can translate into murderous action.
Attacks in mainland Egypt (as opposed to attacks in the Sinai) are relatively rare, and Wednesday's bombing illustrates that networks in Cairo remain strong. We continue to think that the government will be able to contain terrorism for the most part, but such deadly attacks can be expected to continue, with economic effects through tourism in particular.
In East Africa, a series of what appeared to be hand grenade attacks in Nairobi on the evening of March 31 killed six people and injured several more. The attacks (two or three depending on reports) are part of an ongoing Al-Shabaab campaign to attempt to force Kenya out of Somalia and this attack appears to be linked to recent Al-Shabaab setbacks on Somali soil.
It is no coincidence that the relatively unsophisticated attacks (lobbing a grenade does not take much planning or expertise nor does the manufacture of an improvised explosive device or IED) took place in an area of Nairobi known as 'Little Mogadishu' due to its large number of Somali residents. Al-Shabaab would want to send a message to Somalis living in Kenya and it would be relatively easy to infiltrate a community dominated by Somalis where insurgents could blend in easily. It was a simple, cowardly, low risk attack – completely unlike the Westgate Mall. It would be a mistake, however, if Kenya adopted a confinement camp policy in such areas as the vast majority of Somalis living in Kenya have no links to Al-Shabaab. Confining Somalis to camps would be strongly counterproductive.
We have made the point several times before that preventing terror attacks is well-nigh impossible for the most part, though there are always some successes to break the monopoly. Al-Shabaab are losing ground in Somalia and as that process gains momentum, so the possibility of reprisals against Kenya, Uganda and others will increase, but it does not, for the moment, materially impact the overall political stability of Kenya or Uganda.
We expect more of these attacks, particularly of the type where grenades or IEDs are involved, but in the short term the targets are likely to remain Kenyans rather than foreigners, as Al-Shabaab wants to send a message that support for the fight against them in Somalia will carry a cost. Westgate-style attacks are significantly less likely, but given the nature of terrorism certainly not impossible.
Al-Shabaab, even if just for the moment, has its back to the wall in Somalia, and the possibility of reprisal attacks against countries such as Kenya are extremely likely in the short to medium term. Such attacks are likely to target mainly Kenyans or Somalis living in Kenya in relatively unsophisticated attacks using grenades, small arms and possibly IEDs rather than the more spectacular but more difficult, costly and dangerous attacks such as the Westgate Mall.
These patterns of terrorism have not yet materially impacted overall political stability in Kenya and are not surprising or representative of any escalation of terrorism.
