CSG Special Policy Session: Policies to Achieve Safer Schools
September 20, 2013
Since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn., Dec. 14, 2012, many state policymakers have asked critical questions about school safety and violence prevention. States convened task forces and debated various policy issues to keep students safe during the 2013 legislative sessions. This session focused on evidence-based public policy reform in mental health, education and emergency response as a way to address these critical issues. Agenda topics included mental health issues such as screening, early diagnosis and treatment, and violence prevention in schools.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Just when I might have been getting a little restless, maybe even bored, with American Idol, they go and pay homage to my hometown. Every week was Motown Week for me when I was growing up, right until I left Detroit to go to college. So the songs the remaining eight contestants did on Wednesday and Thursday (March 27-28) sounded like they could make up soundtrack of my life.
So am I a little biased? Sure. But come on. Even Keith Urban was wearing a Detroit shirt for part of Thursday's results show. He performed on the show, too, but opted for his own "Long Hot Summer" instead of a Motown hit. How cool would it have been to hear him do something like Diana Ross' "Love Hangover"? Anyway, Mariah Carey must've loved his performance because she held up a sign that said "#1 Keith Fan."
Songs like "Old Time Rock and Roll," "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" and "You Keep Me Hanging On" were standouts for me. And "Like a Prayer" was so good, even though I've never really considered Madonna to be Motown Motown, she did grow up in the suburb next to mine, so I guess she counts. Other loves: "My Cherie Amour," "Shop Around" and "Tracks of My Tears" (although it didn't do Devin Velez much good since he was eliminated). Urban was uncharacteristically quiet with commentary until Kree Harrison did "Don't Play That Song" and told her, "I love that you do an Aretha song, but you're not trying to be Aretha. You're Kree. And I love that."

Every customer project comes with its own set of challenges, but at the end of it, when everything's running smoothly in production, it's always exciting and rewarding to look at the finished product and see the positive impact it's making for each customer.
Our latest case study tells the story of how we helped LifeCare, an industry leader in providing employer-sponsored work-life benefits to over 61,000 enterprise customers, improve overall customer experiences using a solution built on Liferay Portal.
As an industry recognized leader and innovator in Work-Life, LifeCare was the first in the industry to launch a work-life balance website. However, the existing Work-Life site was running on a 10+ year old homegrown legacy system that presented a slew of challenges, including a cumbersome site updating process and outdated design.
To maintain itself as an industry leader, LifeCare performed a complete overhaul of their Work-Life site, and chose to build the new site on the Liferay Portal platform. Liferay not only supports a modern responsive design on the front end, but also content management capabilities, effective delivery of LifeCare's content and services, along with easy integration on the back end.
Working closely with LifeCare, Rivet Logic helped architect an innovative solution that supports sophisticated white labeling capabilities for LifeCare's customers, allowing delivery of heavily personalized content without compromising on site performance requirements.
The new Work-Life site now offers a customized experience for LifeCare's enterprise clients with improved functionality. And for LifeCare, giving control of the content publishing process to the business users meant more frequent updates and fresher content, while freeing up valuable time for IT to focus on other strategic initiatives.

Hornets Riddled With Questions
1 Attachment(s)
For a team that had a good summer, the fall for the New Orleans Hornets has been anything but.
Center Emeka Okafor, acquired in a straight swap for Tyson Chandler, hasn't played a minute in the preseason. Head coach Byron Scott said he hopes to get Okafor some minutes on the two game west coast trip that will conclude the preseason.
Don't expect much from Okafor early. That is bad news for a team that clearly needs a low post presence who can defend, rebound and score the ball in the paint.
Another newcomer, forward Ike Diogu, is practicing despite a knee injury. Scott said he hopes to have Diogu back soon.
Diogu's willingness to practice, despite the pain and being less than 100 percent, has made him a big hit with Scott.
The Hornets would love to keep Julian Wright in the starting lineup. But I have yet to hear of a player playing effectively at the wing position in the NBA with no consistent outside shot. Have you?
Wright will, on occasion, knock down a 15 footer then come back soon after and miss badly. But if Wright can somehow be effective, that means 32-year old Peja Stojakovic can come off the bench and play fewer minutes in the twilight of a stellar NBA career.
At the off guard spot, LSU's Marcus Thornton has shown flashes of being special in the preseason. Thornton's ability to make three pointers and drive to the basket make him a real scoring threat. But he's a rookie, and at 6 foot 4 inches tall, can Thornton match up in man defense against some of the bigger 2 guards in the NBA?
Then there's the schedule. For a team with injuries and a host of new players, the NBA did not do the Hornets a favor. The first 10 games of the season include trips to San Antonio, Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers plus a home game with the young, talented Portland Trailblazers.
The early schedule is not conducive for a quick start.
On the plus side, backup point guard Bobby Brown appears to be a very solid pickup. Brown can knock down the three-ball and drive to the basket. His experience gives him an edge over first round pick Darren Collison for the second point guard spot.
Forward Darius Songalia, acquired in the same trade with Minnesota that garnered Brown, appears to have what the Hornets need, a big man who can come off the bench and make shots.
If head coach Byron Scott is concerned, he's not saying.
Scott said the challenge of getting his team back on or near the top of the West motivates. Exhausted on Monday night, he crashed after midnight and was in the office by 7:30 Tuesday morning.
So heading into the season, the Hornets are somewhat like they were at last season's end. They have Chris Paul and David West and then a handful of questions.

Cutting straight to the point, a regular person is someone who should not bother reading this blog. They should immediately close the browser and go to a motivational seminar or spend their money on self help books written by unsuccessful people. If they are really ambitious, they can go ahead and update their resume and find another hourly or salary job that requires no change in responsibility or skill-set.
In short? Regular people should be avoided at all costs and you can see the impact they can have on this blog alone. For one reason or another, traffic has tripled here (again), we have to automatically mark hundreds of comments as spam (again) and for some reason they think this blog is written for them (it isn't). Regular people simply *slow you down*. This post is going to go borderline "nasty" in commentary towards regular people in an attempt to kick them off the website forever.
#1 Regular People are Impressed by $3,000 in Monthly Passive Income: No joke, they are impressed by this. Regular people believe that $3,000/month while doing nothing is an "accomplishment". They believe that it is obtainable by starting a website catered to other imbeciles like themselves and that it will free them up to "see the world". In reality? $3,000 a month doesn't even pay for rent in a major city and should be achieved well before your 30th birthday. Think about it. Even at 7% returns all you would need is just over $500K to hit this marker.
#2 Regular People Never Fail: You would think that a regular person would be failing day and night to improve his current circumstances. But. In reality, he is busy being an expert on everything. You can compete professionally in tennis but somehow he will claim that he gave up his "potential" way back in high school. He "could have" been in the same position as you if he "wanted to".
#3 Regular People Pass On Bad Advice: Since he has never accomplished anything… but… believes that he will be "successful in the future" he passes on more non-sense advice to anyone who will listen. He will give you advice on fitness (never even competed in college), money (doesn't even make $250K), girls (he was the "man" in college) and your career (hasn't gotten promoted in 5 years). Never challenge any of his ideas because he will get extremely upset. Much better to smile, nod and agree.
#4 Regular People Believe Wall Street Wants to Rip Them Off: Lets draw the line at tier 3 and above Wall Street professionals. This means you do not interact with retail clients at all. In short? Wall Street employees don't even interact with regular people on a work basis let alone care about their pocket books. Wall Street is a fee based organization and a performance based entity as well. No employee on Wall Street is interested in squeezing out $50 from a guy who makes $100K a year. It is a waste of time. Front office Wall Street employees are only interested in major institutions and company management teams. A regular person's Scott Trade account isn't even on the radar.
#5 Regular People Live Above Their Means: Since regular people are smarter than you when it comes to… well… everything. They deserve the best. This means they have no problem ringing up hundreds or even thousands of dollars of credit card debt. In addition? They have the audacity to complain when they are charged late fees! They are living well beyond what they can afford to purchase but… because they "deserve it"… they believe all fees should be waved.
This is a major hint for those of you looking to make money. If you want to start a finance blog catered to the masses create one where you claim you were "up to your eyeballs in credit card debt but figured out how to solve your problems using this one quick trick!".
#6 Regular People are Emotional: If you want to target the masses (idiots) you need to write extremely "moving pieces". The best example of a way to speak to the masses is Steve Jobs' 2005 commencement speech at Stanford University. It had everything lined up perfectly to go viral with "regular people". People saw the word Stanford and thought they were getting a sneak peek at "elite" advice. Of course Steve Jobs realizes he is on stage being recorded so his *audience* is really *the world* not just Stanford university students. So he created a pump up feel good speech that went viral. No doubt this helped his product sales. For those that actually read his book? You'll realize he was a tyrant just like the vast majority of successful people. Beautifully delivered and well marketed.
If you want more examples of how to communicate with regular people, just pull up videos of viral motivational speeches. These are all targeted at regular people.
#7 Regular People are Influenced by Their Environment: The difference between elite and regular is subtle. Elite people adapt to their environment while regular people are *impacted* by their environment. Regular people are easily swayed by the opinions of strangers. Therefore, a new environment will actually change the way they think. Regular people are essentially chameleons. They are too scared to stand out so they will blend into whatever crowd you put them in.
Alternatively? Elite people will *adapt* to the new rules they are handed. Instead of simply trying to fit in like a chameleon they will figure out how to succeed in the new environment regardless of what other people are doing.
#8 Regular People are Liars: The difference between regular people and elite people is this. Regular people lie *up* elite people lie *down*. If a regular guy claims to make $100K a year he probably makes closer to $80K. Meanwhile. If an elite person tells you he makes $80K he probably makes $250K+. He is just giving a low ball number to avoid answering questions all day.
Of course there are new money elite people who like to flash cash, however, most rich people enjoy hiding their wealth. They have already been "hit up" for loans and favors by their closest friends and relatives so they decided to simply hide it.
Try and poke around for clues? They won't have any interest in giving you information unless they find a way for both of you to benefit.
#9 Regular People Believe Rich People Are Mean: Another false assumption. Rich people are generally extremely logical. If you ask for a favor that you know he can easily do and he says "no" this does not imply that the person is mean. Instead? It implies that he has no reason to grant the favor.
Regular people expect hand outs and this is exactly why a rich person is never going to say yes. A smart person who is good at networking is going to ask for basic advice, execute on it and show results before asking for any hand outs.
Regular people expect rich people to simply give them something for "knowing them". No joke. This is how they think. If they simply know the rich person they believe this entitles them to some sort of income.
#10 Regular People Rarely Improve: If you meet a regular person in 2015 and run into him in 2017, you will be talking to the exact same person. His income probably went up by 3-5%, he gained or lost 2-5 pounds and his face is slightly narrower due to the increase in age. You don't have to ask him what he has been up to because he can summarize his entire two years in five minutes. He went to work for an hourly wage or annual salary. He hit the gym a few times but quit. He read a couple of self help books. The end.
It is very easy to tell when you're dealing with a regular person since his life never changes. It's the same story every single year and he has the same "accomplishments" to hang his hat on. The only difference is the accomplishments are now 2 years further in the past.
#11 Regular People Long for the Past: Over the last 10 years we have seen nothing but massive economic opportunity. Sure some cities have seen more benefits than others. But. Life in the USA has gone no where but up and to the right. This of course assumes that your life has improved. Regular people live for the past because they don't think their future is going to be any better. In short, avoid anyone who talks about the past. No one talks about the past if their future is brighter.
#12 Regular People Ask Terrible Questions: This is what inspired this post in the first place. We missed a full post because of all the terrible questions and emails we received. Regular people cannot even ask a question without giving their life story as a back drop. Classic ways to tell if you're talking to a regular person:
1) "Wow really great post I just had a quick question…. 10 sentences later… what are your thoughts on this" – We don't care about your life story. No one does.
2) "I read this book written by so and so what do you think" – It doesn't matter what we think. Reading more than 1 book every two months is a waste of time. Try the philosophies you learned and see if it works. That is your answer. If it doesn't work then it was a terrible book. If it does work it was a great purchase.
3) "What do you think is going to happen to the economy" – We don't care again. Even if the S&P 500 goes down by 50% it won't change our lifestyles at all. Funny enough, in the comments people said we were at the peak. Of course the market is up another 20%+ since then. Again. Even if it corrects down by 50%, you should be running a company, so it will be meaningless anyway.
#13 Regular People Do the Minimum: The easiest way to sell a regular position on a wage slavery job is to tell them that it pays extremely high on a "per hour basis". Once they believe that it is is the best position in terms of time for money exchange they will sign the dotted line. Why? They want to do the minimum. Without actually creating any value they believe that their time is valuable (it isn't). Instead of creating enough value around them (forcing their time to become valuable) they assume that their time is valuable from day one which leads to a life of mediocrity.
#14 Regular People Like Rules: Since regular people refuse to create anything they will naturally avoid any revenue generating positions. They do not like risk or creativity. This is a given. Instead they expect to be handed a pamphlet that says do X then do Y then do Z. Make the pamphlet incredibly detailed so a robot could do the exact same thing. Then they will complain when a robot takes their job.
#15 Regular People Hate Sales: Naturally, if regular people dislike creating and thinking on their feet they will hate sales. Sales requires a person to be rejected hundreds of times per week (remember regular people never fail!) so this goes against their core belief system (they are "special").
#16 Regular People Are Waiting for You to Slip: Regular people gossip more than soap operas. No joke. Since nothing is going on in their lives they will track your life like the CIA. In fact, even if you obtain a promotion at a different Company for the split second they find you "left" they will barrage you with emails and texts about how they "knew you were going to fail" (they assume you were let go). If you are on social media (you shouldn't be) then this will be amplified 10x when your Linked-in profile is changed.
#17 Regular People Hate It When You Succeed: The bigger the divide between you and regular people becomes, the more they will hate you for it. They don't have the guts to tell you to your face and instead will try to find ways to take you down. It is much better to build a large moat around your life instead. Blend into the crowd, don't flash anything and avoid giving out information at all costs. Notably, even if you live in an upper middle class area, continue to do this since you may find that there is a large divide between you and your neighbors as well.
#18 Regular People Are Not Interesting: They are simply boring. Boring type A people that you would never want to spend your time with. They are so easy to figure out that you can have a single 15 minute lunch with them and know that you have no interest in meeting them ever again. Is this judgemental? Yes. Is it true? Yup. You can box up a regular person within fifteen minutes (tops).
#19 Regular People Believe They Are Socially Aware: This one is by far the most humorous. If someone is easily influenced by their environment then they are not socially aware by definition. We're extremely aware that this blog has been raided by regular people over the last 2 months and have no problem calling it out and losing the "traffic" since it is junk traffic to begin with (we also know where it is coming from). Regular people believe they are smart and make their own decisions (thinking they are socially aware) but instead, the same tired old "tricks" will work on them. Look no further than the ad space on yahoo to prove this theory to be true.
#20 Regular People Are Easily Upset: Finally, regular people are easily upset. You can tell them that their favorite character on XYZ sitcom died and they will actually cry or become unhappy. In fact? Regular people may even hate an actor or actress if he is a Villain on a TV show! It isn't even real!
Things like this are beyond comprehension for most of our readers (the ones around a few months ago).
With the rant over, we are going to allow comments for a total of 5 days before they are automatically shut off to avoid seeing more "comments" and "questions" from the regulars. We will search for an intern or someone else to monitor the comments on a weekly basis (we hope to have a solution by the end of the month).
In the mean time, since we're clearly annoyed, feel free to fill the comments with bashing of regular people! They have temporarily ruined this blog so may as well get some entertainment out of it!

Squash is one of the most athletic sports in the world. Beyond just being great fun, new benefits of the game are discovered every day.
A Forbes magazine study in 2003 indicated that squash was the healthiest sport in the world . In one hour of squash, a player can expend between 600 to 1000 calories. Squash is affordable, easy to play, accessible, builds muscular strength and endurance, and is an excellent cardiovascular workout
One of the fastest growing sports in the world, squash is played in 188 countries and territories. There are more than 147 National Squash Federations, and according to the World Squash Federation, in 2009 there were nearly 50,000 squash courts around the world. Canada ranked 7th, with the majority of our courts located in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.
Squash is included in more than 20 multi-sport international games and is one of 10 core sports in the Commonwealth Games program. The sport is also on the short list for inclusion in the 2020 Olympic Games.
The Professional Squash Association (PSA) organizes the men's professional squash tour and the PSA rankings. The equivalent body for women's professional squash is the Women's International Squash Players Association (WISPA). The world governing body for squash is the World Squash Federation, located in England.
For more information on squash in Canada contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 613-228-7724, or contact your provincial / territorial squash association.

This article is part of the Mtbr's Enduro Compare-O. See all the stories in this special section here–https://reviews.mtbr.com/category/enduro-compare-o-2014
The 150mm-travel, 27.5-inch wheel Scott Genius 710 pairs an efficient climbing pedigree with long-travel chops that equates to a bike that's as well-suited to all-day, all-mountain exploration as it is to enduro racing, multi-hour tag team events, and even the occasional cross country race.
The 710 reflects a growing trend among manufacturers to create lightweight bikes that are downhill-capable while still climb-worthy due to the use of remote shock controls. Scott's TwinLoc is one such remote, and it's the key to unlocking the Genius 710's full capabilities.
TwinLoc doubles your pleasure
TwinLoc refers to the twin-lever remote mounted near the left hand grip that simultaneously adjusts both front and rear suspension units. The levers toggle the suspension between full-open, platform mode and full lock-out—or as Scott calls it, Climb, Traction Control, Descend. In Climb mode, the fork and shock are extremely firm and the Genius feels like fully rigid bike. We used it sparingly, and even then only on long, smooth sections of fire road and connector pavement.
For the most part we used the Traction Control for technical climbing as well as rolling terrain. As you'd expect, we opened it up to the Descend mode for bombing the downhills.
Part of the reason we say TwinLoc is critical is because the suspension (especially the rear) can be quite finicky to setup. Small adjustments make big differences, and all of our test riders preferred running the rear shock with more sag than normal to soak up bigger hits. The downside was less-than-ideal climbing efficiency, which we compensated for with frequent use of TwinLoc. Just like dropper posts, the easier it is to access, the more you will use it…the more you use it, the more you appreciate it.
While it works when used as prescribed, there's no doubt the system adds complication and cables to the equation. Between shifter cables, brake cables, a dropper post cable and TwinLoc's two cables, there's a lot going on up front. Additionally, getting used to what lever or button controls what takes some practice. But as we've seen with all manner of controls in the past, these things become second nature and—as was the case with our test riders—after a couple rides, this "control confusion" becomes a non-issue.

Genius gets Nude and Foxy
The other half of the suspension formula is the switch to Fox—a new manufacturer for Scott's Nude shock system. Prior iterations of the DT Swiss-made Nude suffered from lack of plushness and initial stiction. The Fox version feels more responsive and opens up the downhill abilities of the Genius. As we mentioned, setup is critical, but once dialed, the shock delivers exceptional performance.
Getting chippy with adjustable BB, geometry
The Scott Genius 710's good, all-around handling is the result of its sweet-spot trail geometry—67.9-degree at the head tube and a 74 degree seat tube angle. It's not quite as slack as some of the more relaxed bikes in our test, giving it a more XC vibe. The bike's shock mount chip system allows you to make it even more quick handling in it's high setting, moving the head tube angle to 68..4-degrees and the seat tube to 74.5.
Changing the chip position also alters the wheelbase, which is longish at 45.4-inches. If you're riding relatively straight shot, fast downhills, this makes the Genius feel very stable and sure footed. On fast side-to-side transitions, however, the handling was not as nimble as some other bikes we tested. Interestingly, the Genius 710 has a longer wheelbase than the 29er Genius 910 of the same size.

These did not turn out well for me, which was a little embarrassing since i took them to a potluck! It seemed like there was too much flour in the nut crust/topping. It did not brown well and it just tasted like raw flour had been sprinkled on top! There also was very little cheesecake flavor. Maybe I did something to mess up the recipe since it gets such rave reviews, but I had to be honest about my disappointment.
Dec 22, 2013
These were easy to make and taste great. It definitely tastes more like a pumpkin pie bar than cheesecake, so if you are looking for something with more of a cheesecake taste/texture then you might want to try something else. I made the recipe as written except I substituted cloves and nutmeg for the allspice since I didn't have any of that.
Nov 11, 2013
Delicious, but I discovered I don't like the taste of allspice! I made this the first time exactly according to the recipe, as I always do when making a new recipe. But there was a definite note to it that I couldn't put my finger on, but didn't like; and then I realized it had to be the allspice, which I'd never used before. I always thought it was called allspice because it was a combination of all the traditional baking spices, but it's NOT--it's ground up seeds of a tropical evergreen (pimento) tree. Makes sense, because to me there's a definite "sprucey" taste and scent to it. So...I made it the next time with the same amount of cinnamon, and substituted 1/2 tsp. nutmeg and 1/4 tsp. cloves for the allspice, and LOVED it! Winner!
Nov 23, 2012
These were so delicious! I followed the advice about using regular margarine (I used imperial brand) and a little more than what the recipe called for. I also baked just the crust for 15 minutes separately instead of refrigerating it. They turned out perfect!
Nov 19, 2012
This recipe is absolutely outstanding! I was never much of a plain pumpkin pie person but wanted to make something for Thanksgiving with pumpkin for dessert. I found this recipe and decided to make it for a trial run before the big day. WOW, is all I have to say. My husband went nuts over it and said PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this and not pumpkin pie. I plan on making this one and some apple crumble bars in lieu of pies this year!

What a great, quick and easy recipe! We love the nut crust even though I made it with walnuts because I was out of pecans. I will try it with pecans next time.

Very good! A nice change from the usual pumpkin pie.

Prince George's boy, 8, fights off attacker
Police: Woman tries to kill child with dumbbell
An 8-year-old Prince George's County boy describes how he fought off a grown woman who was trying to kill him.
Police said 26-year-old Helen Newsome broke into her ex-boyfriend's home in Prince George's County while the child was sleeping.
When Jacob Soliz-Amaya woke up, he said Newsome was smothering him and beating his head with a dumbbell.
"While she was covering my mouth, I was thinking about something. Then I figured it out. Then I gave her a headbutt," Jacob said.
"He fought through the fear, as scared as he was. He did it, and he did it all by himself," said his mother, Salina Soliz.
Jacob was able to escape by running to a neighbor's house for help. He was released from the hospital Wednesday and is recovering with about nine staples in his head.
Newsome was charged with first-degree attempted murder.

EVERETT — In the annals of struggling arts organizations, the story of the Snohomish County Music Project stands out for finding a creative solution to the perennial problem of survival.
Four years ago, the Everett Symphony Orchestra, an 80-year-old mainstay of high culture in a largely blue-collar city, had hit rough times, a victim of the economic downturn and poor financial planning.
A failed capital campaign in 2008 had forced the symphony to sell its offices and rehearsal hall, and the symphony itself shuttered in the middle of the 2009-2010 season and laid off its musicians and most of its staff.
Then two things happened. The musicians reorganized into the Everett Philharmonic Orchestra and embarked on a new season under new management. The Philharmonic remains viable today with a full concert schedule.
Meanwhile, the board of the former symphony also reorganized, turning itself into a fundamentally different type of organization. "Asking our community to support the arts for the sake of the arts wasn't working in that community," said Roger Pawley, president and CEO of the Snohomish County Music Project. He was also the last executive director of the symphony when it shuttered, brought in to try to revamp the business side of the orchestra.
"We turned that around and asked how we can use the power of the music to inspire people to good things in our community," he said.
The concept that emerged is "artistic citizenship," turning music toward serving people, especially in educational and therapeutic contexts.
The project now runs several music education programs, including The Casino Road Community Keyboard Orchestra, which provides free piano lessons to school-age children.
The organization also brings Carnegie Hall's popular Link Up music education program into the classroom and offers after-school group lessons in the Everett and Marysville school districts.
Coupled with music education are a variety of music therapy programs: for youths who are considered at-risk or who are already in the juvenile justice system; for seniors suffering from depression, Alzheimer's or other neurological disorders; and for veterans coping with post-traumatic stress disorder and other conditions stemming from their military service.
Many of these programs are still in their infancy, said Karla Hawley, the project's music therapist.
But they're already gaining traction. The Keyboard Orchestra, which she said has worked with 50 to 60 children so far this year, combines lessons with a therapeutic approach designed to reinforce positive behaviors.
"It's not just music therapy, also a prevention and enrichment initiative, using some of the principles and approaches of music therapy," Hawley said.
The Snohomish County Music Project's initiatives are largely supported by grants from a variety of government agencies and groups, including the Tulalip Tribes Charitable Fund, the Norman Archibald Charitable Foundation, the Marysville and South Everett-Mukilteo Rotary clubs, the Everett Clinic Foundation and the city of Everett's Human Needs grant program, among many others.
The Everett mall has also donated the use of the newly renovated Everett Music Hall, a former movie theater, for recitals from the various project initiatives as well as special fundraising concerts that pair a 40-piece orchestra with a five-piece cover band playing rock and pop hits of the 1960s and '70s.
Through it all, the project has worked to keep its costs down and identify opportunities for expanded programming and support.
To that end, Pawley is still just one of two full-time employees. The other is Vasheti Quiros, the project's new development director.
They're seeing a need for programs for men over 50, who are at a higher risk for depression and suicide, she said.
She said she hopes to expand the new veterans program to reach 40 to 50 people in the coming year, and is looking at partnering with other organizations, such as Edmonds Community College's resource centers, to better reach those populations.
In addition, Quiros said, the project is trying to double the size of its children's music clubs in the next year, to get more school districts to offer the Link Up program, and to increase participation by seniors and veterans.
"The art and the quality of the art becomes a given," Pawley said. "But it's now how we can use that art for the community."
"It's a very different social contract we have with the community right now," he said.

After you have a good knot tied in your yarn, you can begin to make a chain. This fundamental stitch is called a foundation stitch or chain stitch. You'll have to experiment with how to hold the thread, so that it ran run freely while you are crocheting and still be slightly taut. Try threading it through the fingers of your left hand.
Chain stitch or foundation stitch (abbreviation ch)- The chain stitch forms the base row of any project. You should have a not-too-tight loop left by your initial slipknot. Simply yarn over (if you forgot how, bring the yarn around the hook, so it's between you and your crochet hook, turn the end of the hook to catch the thread). Pull the thread through the loop. Continue to "yo," yarn over and pull through. You want to practice this stitch until you can get uniform stitches before moving on. This video shows you how to do a beginning slipknot and the chain stitch, with the assistance of a giant crochet hook compliments of www.pattern-knit.com!
Crochet Ring (r#, the number of chain stitches made into a ring)- Chain the amount of stitches that the pattern calls for. Slip the hook through the first stitch, yarn over, and pull through both loops. These rings are used for decoration and as starting blocks for certain projects.
Crochet actually refers to picking up loop(s) from a previous stitch, which we have not actually done yet! The chain stitches form a starting chain, which the different crochets can build from.

Started my granddaughter to crochet and this helped a lot on explaining things for her when she was back at college.

Want to create a few simple accessories that will impress your friends using only lengths of crocheted chain? It's simple - make 3 lengths of chain - tie a know in one and and plait them together. Once finished tie know in other end. Add beads to the individual yarns at both finished ends and you will have great belt to wear with jeans. Make a shorter plaited length, add beads and it can be used as a ribbon for tying up hair. Use metallic yarns for an even greater effect. Purchase black string elastic, add beads as you crochet the chain until length is approximately 4-5inches. Tie ends together, trim excess, add a spot of superglue over knot, when dry you will have a great hair scrunchie. Wand a shoulder bag that will stand out - use a large size hook, 12 ply yarn, metallic or brightly coloured beads and a small, light bag from a thrift shop which has rings where the strap is attached. Remove old strap leaving rings in place - attach beginning of chain to one side of bag, crochet the chain length including the beads until the strap is desired length, attach final chain to ring on opposite side of bag (ensure chain is not twisted), trim excess yarn at beginning and end.

I wish I had this website with the video to show how to crochet when I taught myself how to crochet over 30 years ago. This is so awsome, it's showing me how to do it the right way, not the way I've been doing it. At least my projects turned out pretty. Thanks

Warner Brothers Games Montreal is developing a game set in the "DC Comics universe", job listings for the studio have revealed - but could it be Batman Arkham 3?
According to Time Warner's site, WB Montreal is seeking a producer and creative director to "work with its game development team responsible for expanding the DC Comics universe in the interactive space".
One of the listings cites the unannounced title as being "focused around the AAA action/adventure space", while the other asks for an "expert in next-generation AAA action/adventure games".
It was revealed yesterday that a third game in the Batman Arkham series would be released later this year.
However, online whispers also suggested that the series developer Rocksteady Studios may not be behind the upcoming title.
Warner Bros. Montreal has prior experience with the Arkham franchise, of course. The studio developed last year's Wii U port of Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham City - Armoured Edition.
The developer has also teased a "big" reveal planned for "2-3 months"' time.
"In just 2-3 months, our project will be announced (in grand fashion) and it's going to be big!" the studio's senior producer Ben Mattes tweeted last week.
But is it Arkham 3?
Neither Warner Bros. or Rocksteady Studios had responded to our request for comment at the time of publishing.

Re: USB Flash Drive QuestionModerator_MoniE Jul 6, 2011 1:55 PM (in response to amspcs)
Well, first off, it would be helpful for the techies out there if you provided more information such as your operating system, make and model of your PC and/or the flash drive and anything else you might feel useful.
Also, did your flash drive come with a disk of software to be installed and, if so, has that been installed properly? It's possible the software (if it had any) for the flash drive altered or changed your system files causing you to need an update somewhere. Your PC or the flash drive may need updated drivers, depending on the age of either so perhaps you could check on the websites for both products for updates, newer drivers or some troubleshooting tips.
Lastly, without more information, all I could suggest is perhaps the flash drive got corrupted somehow by a bad file or virus.
Hopefully, with more information, someone will be able to assist you. I'm surprised to see you posting a "technical question" in a small business forum! I am used to seeing your interesting posts about small biz! Good luck with your tech issue!
Re: USB Flash Drive Questionamspcs Jul 6, 2011 2:05 PM (in response to Moderator_MoniE)
Moni, you are correct. Sorry of lack of info.
I'm using Windows 7 (unfortunately, I dislike it--why reinvent the wheel?)
Using a Dell 64 big computer--not sure of model, it's on the back of the uni which is kind of hard to get to.
I'm using a ScanDisk cruizer. I checked it on control panel, which indicates the driver is installed and it is 'working properly'. I let Windows search for updates, which reported I had the latest update.
The light on the flash comes on, and the system seems to recognize it. In fact, t here is a song on there (I don't remember installing it) that plays just fine.
So I don't think the flash drive is codrrupted.
When I try to drag the file off my desktop I want to record onto the flash, it instructs me to insert a CD. It appears it recognized the unit as a CD burner, not a flash drive.
Very frustrting, not sure what to do. I looked online and found a tutorial from Scandisk, but it didn't help. It told me to look for MY COMPUTER, an icon I don't have, and then to MANAGE which I don't have either.
This is my frustrtion with Windows 7. Lots of stuff that works easily and seamlessly before now has become a major headache. And the theory that Windows 7 doesn't crash or freeze as much as previous
versions doens't seem to hold water in my experience either.
Any suggestions? Thanks. And thanks for the kind words about my posts in small biz. Small biz I know about. Technology an entirely different matter.
Re: USB Flash Drive QuestionModerator_MoniE Jul 6, 2011 5:17 PM (in response to amspcs)
I saw a tech forum online where someone had posted the same issue only they were running XP. Another member suggested that they go to their device manager, right click and uninstall the drive, then reboot and let the drive re-install itself. The tutorial you mentioned sounds like it may be trying to get you to the Windows 7 version of the Device Manager. I have W7 on my netbook but don't use it nearly as much as my desktop becuz it is confusing. Try going to Start -> Control panel -> System and Security -> System -> Device Manager and see if that is what the tutorial was getting at.
When you put the flash drive in and right click on it to check the properties, does it show that it has open capacity? If you can play files from it, it sounds like maybe it's being seen as "Read Only" ... I'm wondering can you move files off of it back to the PC? Some flash disks have a tiny button that can be used to "write protect" the drive. Check for this switch, and ensure it is in the unlocked position.
Thanks for posting the additional info and hopefully if nothing I have mentioned has helped, someone will have some more extensive instructions or ideas.
Again, best of luck to you!
Re: USB Flash Drive Questionwordperfect Jul 9, 2011 5:58 AM (in response to amspcs)
I have had this problem in the past, you really don't want to know the result.
It had, in my case, nothing to do with the O/S or any other techie specs, it has served well for many years, swapping 'tween various machines till one day, symptoms as you describe.
I took it to various experts who suggested anything from virus to damage, virus scans show a full drive, clean, other scans show it as full, data intact but it grew worse, like a cancer, and now just won't even open.
Always get an "Insert disk " error.
Ahhh, that was 3 years ago.
My advice, for what it is worth, copy the files, if you can, save to another flash disk and hold a small funeral ceremony for the old one.
Re: USB Flash Drive QuestionModerator_JoleK Jul 9, 2011 1:07 PM (in response to wordperfect)
Wordperfect beat me to it.
Have you tried a different USB stick and had the same results? I'd say it's the computer if that's the case. Give us an update on this, amspcs!
Re: USB Flash Drive Questionwordperfect Jul 11, 2011 2:55 AM (in response to Moderator_JoleK)
Sorry about that!
But yes, you make a good point.
I remember I tried my disk on the office hacks, just to make sure, same result, so ..............
IT giveth, IT taketh away!
Re: USB Flash Drive Questionsmallbus01 Jul 29, 2011 10:27 AM (in response to amspcs)
If it still doesn't work you can try uploading it to another computer, to see if it is the USB flash disk that is the problem or your laptop/os/whatever. If it does work then just send it from the working computer to yours.
Re: USB Flash Drive QuestionModerator Jim Aug 7, 2011 9:16 AM (in response to amspcs)
Hey there,
A quick google search for "flash drive please insert a CD disc" comes back that it's a problem with windows (assuming you have windows) and you need to do the following:
Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools then click Disk Management.
Find the USB drive and single right click it. Then change the drive letter.
It should then be recognized as a USB drive.
I'm having a problem with my SanDisk USB Flash Drive device.
I'm trying to back up some data onto the flash drive so I can easily transfer to my laptop.
When I plug the flash into the USB drive, it seems to 'take' it alright. But when I drag the desired file to be copies into it, I get the message "please insert a CD disc" or something.
In other words, the computer seems to be recognizing it as a CD burner, not a flash drive.

This past weekend we went shopping. Yes, we even braved two stores during Black Friday! Kohl's department store was our first stop. Kohl's ranks high on my list of favorite stores partly because it based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Max Kohl opened his first department store in 1962 in Brookfield, Wisconsin (the Kohl family operated grocery stores before the department stores). Kohl's is now one of the largest discount department store chains in the United States, operating 1,059 stores in 49 states.
However the main reason I love Kohl's is because I can find quality merchandise at reasonable prices for everyone in the family all in one store. We shop there for clothes, shoes and for items for our home. We even registered at Kohl's before our wedding. This weekend we took advantage of the great holiday sales and purchased Christmas dress clothes for both of my children, a king-size sheet set, a rug for my kitchen, a new coat for myself, and some clothes for my husband.
Kohls.com is the perfect place to shop during the holiday season with numerous gift options available. In fact, they even have a handy Holiday Gift Guide so that customers can view popular gifts and top picks in several price ranges. I recently browsed through some of the featured items and picked a few favorites:
For kids:
Kohl's Cares for Kids® "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake" Book ($5) - this book by best-selling author Laura Numeroff is a bargain at $5. Plus 100% of the profit from Kohl's Cares for Kids products go directly to support children's health and education initiatives. A win-win situation all around and I applaud Kohl's for supporting the nation's youth!
While this isn't on their gift guide, like I said before I always buy my kids' Holiday clothes from Kohl's. In the store they have a huge selection of gorgeous dresses and I bought a cute sweater vest outfit for my son. Kohl's also offers a surprisingly large selection of TOYS and GAMES.
For teens:
Mudd® Fringe Scarf ($17.00) - This multi-color funky scarf would make a cool gift for a teen girl.
Candie's® Pleated Lapel Coat ($49.99) - I LOVE this red, swingy coat
Source Striped Shirt ($19.00) - Several great looking dressy shirts available at Kohl's, perfect for guys.
For Her/Him:
axcess Geometric Fleece Pajama Set for her ($19.99) - I'm all for warm and cozy!
Relic® Regina Faux-Leather Shoulder Bag ($22.00) - This looks like a cute, small and functional bag and it comes in three colors.
Croft & Barrow® 1/4-Zip Microfleece Sweatshirt for him ($12.99) - My husband would live in Microfleece if he could get away with it!
And, someday, if wishes come true, I hope to receive one of these:
KitchenAid® Artisan™ 5-qt. Stand Mixer ($299.99) - A girl can dream! :)
Today Kohl's began their 25 DEALS OF CHRISTMAS. I'm looking forward to checking out their newest deal everyday.

Much has been made of young Bryce Harper's first few days in the majors. He has a cannon for an arm. He gets on base. He makes good with the locals. He steals home. And now he's caused the Phillies' Cole Hamels to pull off what Nationals GM Mike Rizzo considers the most "classless, gutless chickenshit act" in his 30 years in baseball. Well, before this blows up any further, we decided to consult our dusted-off copy of Baseball's Unwritten Rules, otherwise known as a random issue of Baseball Digest from 1986.
According to an informal Deadspin investigation, it appears Hamels only broke one unwritten rule.
1. Never put the tying or go-ahead run on base.
With outfielder Jayson Werth on the DL for at least three months, Harper probably isn't going back to AAA any time soon (if ever). Suddenly, the Nationals' three-game series in Philly starting May 21 is looking a lot more interesting.
UPDATE (5:10 p.m.): And now Hamels is suspended for five games. That's what honesty will get you, although because of the Phillies' schedule, Hamels may not actually miss any starts. Baseball is weird.

Drillers drawn to rocks around Eagle Ford, too
A few years ago, Glenn Hart of Houston-based Laredo Energy said he was "kind of enamored" of the Eagle Ford Shale.
The company in 2009 had started drilling exploratory wells on 130,000 acres north of Laredo, and Hart's attitude about the other geologic bands of rock that lie atop the Eagle Ford was this: They were standing between him and the Eagle Ford and needed to be drilled through quickly to get to the real payday.
Then a geologist came into Hart's office with data that indicated that some of those other formations had as much potential as the Eagle Ford.
Hart was skeptical. "I basically said, 'Get out of my office.'"
But the geologist was right.
For Hart and others, the Eagle Ford isn't just about the shale formation anymore.
There's an increasing amount of drilling in the layers above and below the South Texas shale play, which has emerged among the hottest fields in the nation for oil and gas production. The Eagle Ford is a 50-mile-wide swath of shale that runs from the Mexican border to East Texas, and 4,970 wells have been permitted in 25 counties.
While the Eagle Ford appears to be the mother lode — the largest and most consistent South Texas formation holding the most oil and gas — there are at least 10 other rock layers sitting above or below it that also are producing oil or gas.
This has the oil and gas industry returning to some old friends — formations such as the Austin Chalk and the Olmos Formation — that for decades have produced using traditional vertical wells. Now, the industry is applying new horizontal drilling techniques with success.
Laredo Energy so far has drilled wells in six geologic layers on its acreage: the San Miguel Formation, Navarro Group, Wilcox Formation, Olmos, Escondido and Eagle Ford. And two-thirds of its production is coming from outside the Eagle Ford Shale.
"This is not just a local phenomenon for us," Hart said. "It's starting to become widespread."
Peggy Williams, editorial director with Hart Energy, said horizontal fracturing techniques are being used not just for shale, but in other rock such as sandstone, chalk and limestone.
"What's happening is these technologies to extract oil and gas from tight formations like shale have been developed to the point where they're fairly effective," Williams said.
It's early in the exploration phase of these other formations, so it's hard to make generalizations.
And even with production rising in the Eagle Ford, estimates for what that field will produce vary, so there's not comparable production data for these newer plays.
But drilling in these other layers has started to change the way some mineral leases are structured in South Texas and has prompted some oil and gas companies to try to lease in deep formations that haven't been tapped.
Eric Potter, associate director in the energy division of the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin, said that even with a century of production in Texas, trying to figure out which formation will yield gas or oil "gets complex in a three-dimensional way." It takes the industry actually drilling and producing to figure out what a certain area might yield.
"This is like one vast experiment being conducted. Some people call it the Braille method," Potter said. "We don't know what the ultimate production from these formations is going to be."
Opportunities vary
These other formations generally don't appear to be as large, as profitable or as consistent as the Eagle Ford. And they're not stacked tidily like a layer cake. A formation that's thick in one county might be barely present in another.
The Eagle Ford generally produces more oil on its northern arc, more natural gas to the south and natural gas liquids in the middle. Similarly, these other formations in some areas might produce dry gas, but in another area, the same formation might provide a bonanza of profitable crude oil or natural gas liquids.
That explains why people across South Texas are hearing plenty of rumors about which geologic layer is the next big find.
"Someone may talk about the Olmos. Another person may talk about Escondido. Someone else may talk about the Pearsall," Williams said. "These secondary objectives might become significant producers."
One example of a non-Eagle Ford success: Houston-based Escondido Resources II, which holds about 60,000 acres in the shallow Escondido and Olmos sandstone formations in Webb, La Salle and McMullen counties, has an Escondido well producing 1,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
A report this summer from information and analytics company IHS Inc. pegged the Eagle Ford Shale as having a flow of 300 to 600 barrels a day of oil and oil-rich liquids, based on average well production in a peak month.
Rusty Shepherd of Momentum Oil & Gas LLC said the company has spent most of 2012 leasing acreage in formations that run deeper than the Eagle Ford, including the Edwards, Glen Rose, Pearsall and Salado, and is concentrating in the so-called "Four Corners" area, where Frio, Atascosa, La Salle and McMullen counties meet.
Shepherd is particularly interested in the Pearsall, a shale and limestone formation that holds a mix of crude oil and natural gas. Hart Energy's Williams thinks the Pearsall is the shale layer most like the Eagle Ford.
The Pearsall long was assumed to produce only natural gas until 2011, when Oklahoma-based Cheyenne Petroleum Co. drilled a well that started producing crude oil, Shepherd said.
Momentum estimates that there are 17 Pearsall wells now, and it plans to start drilling in the formation next year.
"It's definitely a new look at an older play," Shepherd said.
Petrohawk Energy Corp. drilled the first of the Eagle Ford wells in 2008 in La Salle County, setting off a frenzy of leasing activity across South Texas for three years.
Attorney John Petry, a shareholder with Langley & Banack in Carrizo Springs, said that as the Eagle Ford play has developed and people learn more about other formations, some mineral owners have gotten specific in their contracts, stipulating how deep a company can drill or even into which formations.
"Some of the ones I'm negotiating only go to a certain depth," Petry said. "(People) will say, 'We won't give you the Buda. We won't give you the Edwards.' Many of the landowners are reserving certain things."
Because so much South Texas acreage is tied up in leases already, it's difficult for companies to enter the Eagle Ford — or anything above or below it — at this point.
But Bill Deupree, CEO of Escondido Resources II, said it is possible. "There's still leasing to be had," he said. "The landowners want to make sure that all of their minerals get developed."
Allen Howard, president and CEO of NuTech Energy Alliance, a company that analyzes wells and reservoirs around the world, likes the Austin Chalk, Escondido and Olmos formations, partly because they're shallower — and cheaper — to drill.
Deupree said that because of the shallower depth, his company saves between 40 percent and 60 percent on drilling a well in the Escondido or Olmos. Depending on depth, an Eagle Ford well can cost $7 million to $10 million to bring into production, he said.
"We were here before the Eagle Ford was discovered," Deupree said. "The Eagle Ford underlying the Escondido and Olmos was a huge bonus. But our focus is still the Olmos and Escondido."
The Buda Limestone is a deeper layer, but Howard said it's oil- or gas-bearing depending on location. On the north side closer to San Antonio, it has more oil.
Hart, CEO of Laredo Energy, said drilling in other South Texas formations means that one of the industry's major challenges already is solved: The pipelines and roads to large, remote ranches already will be in place.
"The cost to drill incremental wells comes down a lot," he said. "We have several instances where we have two or three wells on one location."
That could rise to eight or 12 wells drilled on one pad site. And at the same time, fracking prices are coming down because companies are getting better at it and faster. "We like the way the metrics are lining up," Hart said.
Howard said not everyone has been quick to embrace the idea of drilling horizontally in other formations. "Our industry is bad about seeing the forest for the trees. They get hung up on the Eagle Ford," Howard said.
"If it doesn't start with an E and spell Eagle Ford, they're not interested."
But not all the formations are created equal, and Howard said not all these newer plays will be profitable. Thomas Tunstall, a professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, said the one thing that's certain about the industry is change.
"You have to be careful of these shale maps," said Tunstall, who in presentations likes to show a 2009 map of U.S. shale plays, which doesn't include what now appear to be two of the country's most productive fields in Texas and North Dakota.
"It didn't have the Eagle Ford or the Bakken on it at all."

Visa for the purpose of receiving medical treatment in Germany
In addition to the usual documents you will generally require the following when applying for a visa for the purpose of receiving medical treatment:
- confirmation from your family doctor that the necessary treatment is not possible in your own country.
- an invitation letter from the hospital in Germany which has given you a proposal for tests/treatment, a cost estimate for the planned treatment and a possible date.
- supporting documentation in regard to financing the treatment costs.
- EU citizens: an S2 form (previously an E112) with explicit agreement from your health insurer in your home country.
For non-EU citizens, medical treatment in Germany can be paid for from your own funds, by an approved international health insurer or via state funds in your home country. The decision as to whether a form of payment is approved lies with the hospital.

The fine folks at UK online retailer ShopTo.net give us our first in-depth look at the innards of incredibly large Halo: Reach Legendary Edition, nearly breaking it in the process.
Don't you hate it when you decide against ordering the ultra-expensive special edition of a game and then see a video like this and begin craving giant Halo statues? I've already put my money down on the less expensive limited edition, and can't see myself coming up with the extra money to bring home this giant box, but damn if that statue wouldn't look lovely sitting on a shelf in my home, collecting dust.
Maybe I can just pick up a broken one once an online retailer employee drops it on the floor?
HALO REACH LEGENDARY UNBOXING [ShopTo.net - Thanks Phil!]

Some people use the left, some the right, but which side of the brain do you primarily use for language? It may seem like a trivial question, but for one thing, if you ever have to undergo any type of brain surgery, the answer can help avoid damage to speech areas.
While lab tests can provide the answer, an app that involves a few minutes of concentration works just as well, according to a study in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
Furthermore, a version of the app for patients with schizophrenia trains them to improve their focus so that when they hear voices (so-called "auditory hallucinations") they can tune them out.
These findings suggest that "smartphones can be used as a tool for psychological testing, opening up a wealth of exciting new possibilities," says Norwegian psychology researcher Josef Bless, who first came up with the idea of a brain test app a few years ago while listening to music on his phone.
The language app, called iDichotic, is free software for iOS devices, and it's been downloaded more than 1,000 times since it was first launched in 2011.
In 2012, Bless and colleagues at the University of Bergen and the Bergen fMRI Group, an interdisciplinary research group, decided to analyze the first 167 results they received from people who volunteered to submit their results, and they compared them with results from 76 people tested in labs in Norway and Australia.
"The results from the app were as reliable as those of the controlled laboratory tests," Bless says in a news release. "The app makes it possible to gather large volumes of data easily and inexpensively. I think we will see more and more psychological tests coming to smartphones."
The test itself is simple and takes fewer than 10 minutes to complete.
After filling out a quick questionnaire (age, sex, primary language, and so on), users listen (via headphones) to a series of sounds (ka, ba, ta, da, ga, and pa) over the course of three minutes and click on the ones they think they've heard. (Most of the time a different sound is played in each ear, and users must choose the one that is more prominent.)
A second "concentration" test requires users to listen for five minutes, focusing on the sound coming from the left and then the right. The results are shown at the end of the five minutes and the user can elect to send them anonymously to the researchers.
While it's a bit early to get too excited about fairly small-scale results, being able to use a phone for a variety of psychological tests may at the very least result in more widespread testing.

Please see the following page describing how to achieve this with jconsole: -
Using jconsole to connect to JMX on AS7
Essentially you need to be using a remoting-jmx service URL for the connection as we now use Remoting for the communication.
2. Re: AS 7.1 Final and JMXtrevor.flanagan Feb 27, 2012 1:59 PM (in response to dlofthouse)
Thanks Darran for getting back to me. I had read your article which you linked to and did try the remoting url using the native management port 9999 and that also didnt work for me either.
When I start my server I do see the following log message that might be relevant?
18:55:35,033 INFO [org.jboss.as.server] JBAS015888: Creating http management service using socket-binding (management-http)
Are you aware of anything else I can try?
3. Re: AS 7.1 Final and JMXdlofthouse Feb 27, 2012 2:56 PM (in response to trevor.flanagan)
Are you getting any error with the remoting-jmx URL?
Also have you added the JBoss libraries to the classpath of your client? That is going to be required to find the correct provider - I am just on a machine without AS7 installed but the client jar under the bin folder should contain the sufficient classes.
