A 30-year-old man living in the basement of a Naperville home is facing six counts of possession of child pornography after police found images and videos on his computer, authorities said Thursday.
Timothy A. Carpenter, who police said was living in a basement on the 1500 block of Treeline Court in central Naperville, was taken into custody about 6:15 a.m. Wednesday after an investigation into possession and distribution of child pornography by the police department's high technology computer crimes unit.
Police said they executed a search warrant of Carpenter's home and found images and videos of children younger than 13 engaged in sexual conduct. The six counts of possession of child pornography Carpenter faces all are felony charges, authorities said.
Police said Carpenter was taken to DuPage County jail to await a bond hearing.

New York Woman Charged With Trying to Scam Newtown Victims
NEWTOWN, CT (WFSB) – Federal authorities have arrested a New York woman, who is accused of scamming the victims of the Newtown school shooting.
Nouel Alba, 37, of the Bronx was charged with lying to a federal agent in connection with holding a fraudulent fundraiser for the Newtown victims.
On Dec. 14, Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother at their home, then went to Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 26 children and adults.
Alba setup a funeral fund for the victims of the shooting on her Facebook page on Dec. 15, according to court documents. She claimed to be Victorian Glam Fairys and said she was an aunt of one of the children who attended Sandy Hook Elementary School, federal authorities said.
Over the next few days, Alba was contacted by people on her Facebook page asking for more information and ways to help, federal authorities said. Court documents stated that she provided her personal PayPal account and information on her Chase Bank account.
"We ask that you continue to not just pray for us, but for the families who have lost their kid," Alba said.
According to court documents, Alba said she entered the crime scene at Sandy Hook Elementary School and had to identify her nephew. She added that she provided pictures to the police to help with the identification process.
However, when Alba received a donation, she refunded the money a few days later, even though the donator didn't ask for it.
When interviewed by FBI special agents and Anderson Cooper 360 about Newtown charity scams, she denied posting the information to her Facebook page or soliciting donations. She claimed that her Facebook account was hacked by two people, according to court documents.
"This arrest should serve as a warning to anyone who attempts to profit from this tragedy by contriving fraudulent schemes that exploit the many victims, their families and individuals who sincerely want to help," said David B. Fein, who is the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, in a statement. "Investigators continue to monitor the internet to uncover other fundraising scams arising from this tragedy, and the individuals operating them face federal or state prosecution to the fullest extent permitted by law."
According to court documents, she voluntarily submitted telephone information to the FBI.
Alba was released on a $50,000 bond after appearing in Hartford Federal Court on Thursday afternoon. If convicted, she could face a maximum of five years in prison and $250,000 fine.
When Alba exited court, she refused to talk to media present at the courthouse.

No change in bail for Dover teen facing felony arson chargeBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
April 24. 2014 12:44PM
DOVER - A judge determined not to reduce the $100,000 bail in the case against a 19-year-old who allegedly set a fire which burned a family of five out of their downtown home earlier this week.Shawn Hoyt, 19, of 8 Lincoln St., Dover, was charged with arson - a Class A felony - for allegedly improperly disposing of a cigarette which started a two-alarm fire in an attached garage at 28 Broadway St., Dover, Tuesday night.The fire, which destroyed the home on Broadway Street, also damaged an adjacent duplex at 27 Pierce St. While no one was injured, a mother and four children - including a baby - lost their home.Hoyt was arrested near the scene and initially held overnight on $5,000 cash bail, which was increased to $100,000 during a video arraignment in Rochester Wednesday.During a bail hearing Thursday morning, assistant county attorney Tim Sullivan said the judge upheld the bail. As part of the bail conditions, Hoyt must undergo a mental health evaluation.Sullivan said Hoyt's attorney, Carl Swenson of the N.H. Public Defender's Office, argued bail should be lowered to allow Hoyt to take advantage of the mental health services in the community. He added Swenson believed Strafford County Community Corrections Program should reassess Hoyt so he could be accepted into and be monitored by them, if released."We still feel he's a danger to the community," Sullivan said, adding there are medical and mental health programs available for those in custody.Hoyt, who remains in Strafford County jail, is scheduled to appear for a probable cause hearing May 7 at 10 a.m. in 7th Circuit Court, Dover District Division.Before the video arraignment Wednesday, Hoyt's mother, Lisa, said her son "is mentally challenged" and has disabilities."I'm just glad everyone's OK," Lisa Hoyt said.As part of the investigation, Detective Timothy Burt spoke to Hoyt along Pierce Street as police searched for witnesses at the scene. During this conversation, Hoyt said he had been walking in the area, but he "provided conflicting statements about where he had been coming from," according to the affidavit.During further interviews, investigators smelled "an odor of smoke on Hoyt's person.""Hoyt admitted to going into the garage at 28 Broadway. He said that he had been smoking a cigarette in the garage," according to the affidavit."Hoyt said he left the garage and ran up the street looking for help but was unable to find anyone," according to the affidavit.Dover Fire Chief Richard Driscoll said the "fully involved" garage fire spread into a home, and the heat from the blaze shattered windows and melted the vinyl siding of the duplex, which was less than 20 feet away."It's a very old Dover neighborhood," Driscoll said. "The houses are very close together."Driscoll said local crews were assisted at the scene by firefighters from Berwick, Maine, Newington, Portsmouth, Rollinsford and Somersworth. He said firefighters from Pease, Rochester and South Berwick, Maine, provided station coverage.As a result, Driscoll said firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading further into the duplex. He added the occupants of the duplex were able to return home Wednesday morning.He said firefighters remained at the scene until about 1:30 a.m.Driscoll said the fire rendered the other home "uninhabitable" as it sustained extensive fire, heat and smoke damage. He said members of the American Red Cross are assisting the family, who stayed in a hotel.Driscoll said the Broadway Street blaze is one of several suspicious fires in the city. He said investigators have not found any indication the fires are linked."Right now the connection is that they're in the same area," Driscoll said, adding police continue to investigate the issue.Anyone with information about Tuesday's fire or any of the other blazes is encouraged to contact police at 742-4646. Anonymous tips may be left on the Dover Crimeline at 749-6000 or via www.dovernhcrimeline.org.

Here are some common questions that explain how hole in one insurance works and can benefit your golf event.
National Hole-In-One's insurance coverage packages function like a prize and event safety net to protect your initial investment of the event you are planning. With our Prize Insurance packages, we secure your contest prize with prize indemnity insurance. By doing so we take on the financial risks associated with offering a highly valuable grand prize. Under this policy, when an event goer makes a hole in one, we pay the cost of the prize.Learn More About Our Insurance
Our Prize Packages can cover any prize your event team can imagine or dream up. We work hand in hand with your sponsors to create offers that can't be refused and drive in more participants. Need some ideas? To get your creative juices flowing, here's a list of some of the popular prize package options, everything from a Caribbean Cruise, Safari Vacation, Harley Davidson Super Glide Motorcycle, Porsche Boxster S, Trip for two to The Masters, Major Championship tickets, Boston Whaler Fishing Boat to cold hard cash.More Prize Package Ideas
Both a Shootout and a Hole in One Contest are an extremely exciting experience at a golf tournament, bringing in media and the masses. A hole in one contest occurs on a random par 3 hole selected out of the 18 holes set to play. A Shootout Contest is a bit different, it takes place at the end of the tournament with a raffle selected golfer. Nothing tops the end of a great tournament like a Million Dollar Shootout.Which Contest Should I Choose?
The XYZ Foundation added a Hole in One Contest to hole 8, which is a Par 3, any contestant who is successful in making a hole-in-one on hole 8 will win a $10,000 prize. Prior to the event, XYZ purchased a National Hole In One contest coverage package for $262. Because XYZ purchased National Hole in One Prize Insurance, if someone makes a hole-in-one on hole 8 during the event, NHIOA writes the $10,000 checks leaving the total out-of-pocket cost for XYZ only $262.Find Out How It Works
If you're a pro golf tournament organizer, event coordinator or simply planning a charity based company golf outing, National Hole-In-One has a perfect Hole in One package to make your event memorable and successful. No tournament or charity is complete without a hole in one grand prize to brag about. Not only does it give players something to be excited about, it's easy to execute, very cost effective and creates valuable visibility for you and your sponsors.
Making a hole-in-one is a perfect combination of a stroke of luck, with the drive of some skill. When it comes to the numbers, the odds slightly differ between amateur golfers and professional golfers. An amateur golfer has roughly 12,500 to 1 odds of making a hole in one on a par 3. With this information we can presume that if you have approximately 100 amateur golfers and four par 3 holes, the odds are roughly 1 in 32.More About Odds
Before you think your event is too small to afford insurance, remember the power of sponsorship. Roughly 70-90% of all Hole in One Prize Insurance packages are "Sponsored By" contests. Very seldom do tournaments actually sponsor their own hole-in-one contests. It is more of a business opportunity for all by teaming up with a sponsor to drive more traffic to your event.What Sponsors Should I Get?

The Vancouver Canucks try to rebound from a catastrophic night as they travel to the Windy City to face the Chicago Blackhawks.
Tonight marks the Canucks' first game against the Blackhawks after their second consecutive playoff ouster at the hands of their Chicago rivals.
Broadcast Info
TV: TSN; Radio: Team1040
The Intel
The Canucks had a fantastic 60 seconds to start their last game against Minnesota. Then all hell broke loose. Roberto Luongo was very shaky for two periods, letting in 6 goals through 40 minutes. Rick Rypien lost a screw and went haywire, throwing sucker punches and attacking a fan in Xcel Energy Center.
So after that debacle, Luongo and the Canucks need to regroup quickly, and face the defending Stanley Cup champions. No big deal.
The Blackhawks have not been particularly stellar at home, which may help the Canucks. The Canucks are also not exactly facing the same team that knocked them out of the 2010 playoffs. So the animosity from the Blackhawks may not be at the same level as previous games. Consider as well that the biggest agitators from last year's edition of the Blackhawks, like Andrew Ladd, Dustin Byfuglien and Ben Eager, are gone now. That said, this year's edition still has plenty of grit, enough to give the Canucks plenty of trouble.
Canucks also face an old foe in new colours for the first time, as Marty Turco is expected to start in goal for Chicago. Turco has a bit of a depleted defense in front of him, with the Blackhawks losing players and Brian Campbell out with injury. If the Canucks can get to Turco early, and take his puck movement out of the game, they will limit his effectiveness.
The Three Keys
Here are the three keys for the Canucks tonight:
1. Luongo needs to get back on track. Luongo is a good bounce-back goalie, and he needs to silence a pretty unfriendly crowd. He needs to pitch a shutout through at least the first period, if not the first two.
2. Shut down Hossa. Marion Hossa is arguably the league's hottest player to start the season. Hopefully, Dan Hamhuis will be back in the lineup and will be assigned to shadow Hossa at every chance possible.
3. Stay out of the penalty box. The Canucks are having a real problem with discipline, Rypien's egregious indiscretion notwithstanding. They simply cannot give the Blackhawks power play too many opportunities, or they will lose any momentum that they will hopefully develop.

Above, from left, store owner Aron Bondaroff, Lil Wade, Free Simon and Jack Spam at A NY Thing on Hester St. Below, Zia Ziprin of nearby Girls Love Shoes vintage shoes boutique at A NY Things opening party two weeks ago.
Artists and designers on the edge are A NY Thing
By Tien-Shun Lee
At customers requests, store helpers hanging out on Saturday at the back of the new Lower East Side shop A NY Thing signed and drew on the backs of T-shirts.
Aron is a very famous person in Tokyo, Tesuya Shono, a young man from that city, said of the stores owner, Aron Bondaroff. Sometimes he appears in the street magazines in Tokyo, and his skate shop, Supreme, is a very famous shop in Tokyo.
Bondaroff and his partner, Kiernan Kay Dog Costello, opened up their small Hester St. emporium to give an outlet to artists and designers who may have a hard time selling and promoting their creations. On a recent visit, they were surrounded by a group of friends and supporters, including Punk Rock Jake, Free Simon Semen Sperms, Lil Wade, Jack Spam and Dave Ortiz, who were helping out with everything from cleaning and D.J.ing to display cases.
I used to be a younger kid looking up at older people, and now Im at the age where young kids are looking up me, said Bondaroff. I wanted to create good times
I wanted to make a place where kids can be bright eyed.
Also known as Aron the Downtown Don, Bondaroff, 28, began working at the Lafayette St. skateboard shop Supreme when he was 18 years old. He was the talk-show host/co-producer of the now-defunct cable access show Kid America Adventure Hour, which featured a cartoonish cast of characters and drew upon underground New York City elements, including the graffiti and skateboard culture.
Most of the zines, CDs, DVDs, records, clothing, jewelry and books sold at A NY Thing would be hard to find elsewhere, said Bondaroff. While the store has some items from bygone eras, such as Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg books, Bondaroff wants to keep it contemporary.
Im about whats going on now, he said.
The small CD collection comes from music artists who are mixing in their basements now, Bondaroff said. The same goes for the zines and the DVDs the artists are making them now, he added.
Theres a million stories to be told about New York City. This one is about the outlaw art form called graffiti [bombing] where your name and the crew you rep is key, stated one DVD producer on the back of his $10 DVD, entitled State Your Name.
Another $10 DVD, The Cocaine Fiends The White Dust From Hell! advertised itself as a sordid and sensational story that depicts cocaines addictive dangers and its rampant threat to society.
Zines on display without a price included The Charlie Brown Get Rich Quik Art Book, and Karakters simple booklets made out of photocopies bound by two staples.
Clothing, including a jean jacket by Joey Semps with a bright graffiti-style painting on the back, leather shoes, corduroy jackets, a fur-lined denim cap and a denim line by the couture fashion designer As Four, tended to be pricey, with tags ranging from $129 to $300.
Bondaroff said he encourages anyone with a project to come down to his store, which is open every day from 12 to 7 p.m.
Like these earrings Theyre by Nana NY Shes just a young girl making jewelry in Brooklyn, he said, pointing to several pairs of earrings with small dice on them.
Clayton Patterson, a Lower East Side documentarian whose Outlaw Gallery is displayed at the back of the store, said that A NY Thing is giving a chance for people to get their creations off the streets.
These people are out there on the edge, and [the store] is giving a chance for people to be legitimate, he said.
Bondaroff said he chose the Hester St. location on the edge of Chinatown, between Essex and Ludlow Sts., partly because the rent is lower than in other parts of Downtown New York City and partly because he wanted a place without too much foot traffic.
I wanted to make a statement, he said. I know Im going to survive. This is forever. Were just going to keep on going.

MONTGOMERY | Officials plan to unveil a statue at the U.S. Capitol in Washington of the woman whose actions sparked the Montgomery bus boycott nearly 60 years ago.
MONTGOMERY | Officials plan to unveil a statue at the U.S. Capitol in Washington of the woman whose actions sparked the Montgomery bus boycott nearly 60 years ago.
President Barack Obama is scheduled to attend a ceremony on Wednesday for the unveiling of the statue of Rosa Parks.
The civil rights pioneer will be the first African-American woman to be honored with a full-size statue in the Capitol, House Speaker John Boehner said.
Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery city bus in 1955. Her arrest prompted the bus boycott and helped start the modern civil rights movement.
The Montgomery Advertiser reported that the 9-foot-tall image of Parks is the first full-sized statue to be funded by Congress since 1873.
"All of the statues in this building are important, but none honor an African-American woman — that is, until next week, when Mrs. Parks takes her rightful place alongside the inventors, war heroes, freedom fighters and doers who represent the heart of the American story. It's another breakthrough for someone who has made so many of them possible," said Boehner, R-Ohio.
The legislation commissioning the statue was signed by President George W. Bush in 2005 a few weeks after the death of Parks, the first woman to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda.
The National Endowment for the Arts and the Capitol architect conducted a national competition to select the design of the statute.
Eugene Daub was selected as the master artist and sculptor, and partner Rob Firmin was the project manager. They are with the California-based Daub & Firmin Sculpture Studios.

The image displays very small in the button. I see in the debug windowCode:.icon-myimage{background-image: url(../icons/myimage.png); background-size: cover; height:auto; width:auto; max-width:100%; max-height:100%}
I don't know how these classes are added automatically to my icon. If I disable width & height (16px) in the debug window then the icon fills up the button.Code:
.x-btn-default-small-icon .x-btn-icon {
- width: 16px;
- height: 16px;
- top: 0;
- left: 0;
- bottom: 0;
- right: 0;
I'm sure there is a way to config the css or in extjs javascript. Can somebody show me how to fix this problem? Thank you!

text: Review : MacBook Pro with Retina display (mid-2012) updated 10:00 am EDT, Tue June 26, 2012 by MacNN Staff Apple brings Retina display to MacBook Pro MacNN Rating: Product Manufacturer: Apple Price: $2199 as tested The Good Cutting-edge connectivityBleeding-edge displayBeautiful, thin minimalist designSturdy, seamless build qualityBlend of power and mobility The Bad Virtually non upgradeable after purchaseMany websites and apps are not currently optimized for the displayNo optical driveAdapters required for Firewire and EthernetPrice premium for privilege Apple has attempted to redefine the full power professional notebook with the next-generation MacBook Pro. In doing so it has delivered a notebook that is incredibly thin and light for the performance it offers. However, as is often the case with Apple products, certain design choices and feature exclusions have stirred up some controversy. So is the new MacBook Pro a notebook with compromises, or is it an uncompromising high performance notebook?Hardware and designJust when you thought you had seen all the possible notebook categories including desktop replacements, ultrabooks and netbooks, Apple's design team has managed to deliver another genre-bending product. Currently, there is no obvious Windows-based competitor to the next-generation MacBook Pro--and that would still be the case even if you removed the Retina Display from the equation. The 15-inch Samsung Series 9 might be slim and pack a relatively high-resolution display, but it does not offer full performance mobile processors or discrete graphics capabilities. It might have been targeted at what was the then-rumored 15-inch MacBook Air, which seems to have turned out to be the next-generation MacBook Pro with Retina display.To keep things running cool given the reduced internal space offered by the slim .71-inch thin aluminum unibody, Apple has completely revamped the internal cooling system. This is most apparent on the external design of the notebook, which now includes three slits on each side that draw air in through the sides of the notebook. The air is then channelled across the motherboard, past the CPU and the discrete GPU and out through the rear courtesy of two fans. As has been highlighted by Apple, the fans have been redesigned with asymmetrical blades that spread the sound across multiple frequencies giving the impression that they run much quieter than they otherwise would.However, it would be remiss to not mention just how critical the latest Intel Ivy Bridge 22nm 3D architecture is to what Apple has accomplished. The quad-core third-generation Core i7-3615QM can Turbo Boost to 3.4GHz, but draws 10 watts less power than the previous-generation Core i7 Sandy bridge processors, while managing to deliver between 10 to 20 percent better performance per clock cycle. The same can be said for Apple's inclusion of the latest NVIDIA GT 650M with Kepler 28nm architecture. Both chips offer a thermal design profile (TDP) that uses much less power and therefore also produces much less heat than previous designs. The combination of advances in CPU and GPU design go a long way to making this notebook possible.Everything about the overall system architecture is fast and optimized in the new MacBook Pro as well. In its basic configuration, the Retina-equipped MacBook Pro's CPU is matched with 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L RAM, while the GPU is paired to 1GB of fast DDR5 VRAM. To this is added the same sort of all-flash architecture that Apple also upgraded in the MacBook Air, which now offers sequential write speeds of 500MB/s. Apple offers users 256GB of flash storage in the entry model, although this can be configured up to 768GB. NAND-flash hard drives not only offer much faster speeds than spinning hard drives, they also consume significantly less power and use much less space. This has helped Apple pack in a huge 95Wh 8460mAh battery, enabling it to deliver up to seven hours of battery life with the display set at 50 percent brightness while wirelessly connected to the Internet. Battery life is also extended in low-demand GPU situations where Intel's integrated 4000 HD GPU kicks in.PerformanceSo how does all of this state-of-the-art stack performance-wise? It is quick, no question. While it is not going to challenge the most highly specified PC desktop replacements or notebook gaming rigs, which can be priced similarly, it delivers more than enough performance for professional photographers, musicians and filmmakers on the go. Most importantly, it does so in a form factor that is incredibly light (4.46 pounds/2.06kg) and thin for the performance that it is capable of delivering. It also offers decent performance for casual gaming with titles including StarCraft II and Diablo III.In the Cinebench R11.5 (64-bit) OpenGL test, the new MacBook Pro with Retina display produced a frame rate of 34.80fps, against 24.51 for the Mac mini with discrete Radeon HD 6630M and 18.04fps for the 2010 MacBook Pro with discrete GeForce 330M. This about matched its performance in StarCraft II with all visual settings on Ultra at the Retina displays 2880x1800 native resolution. We found the game to be very playable at this frame rate, while it offers similar, but slightly less, performance on the more-demanding Diablo III. However, it still has enough power to drive three external displays as well as the Retina display, demonstrating its potential for professionals. Although Kepler is NVIDIA's latest GPU architecture, it has so far only been deployed in midrange to upper midrange GPUs in NVIDIA's mobile lineup. It also needs to be remembered that outright GPU performance may be nullified somewhat by the fact that it now also has to drive four times as many pixels as a standard MacBook Pro.The Cinebench CPU score highlights the sheer processing power of the new MacBook Pro. It really is a very fast processor and will get through rendering tasks with the full ability. Similarly, in the GeekBench 2.3.3 (32-bit) test, the MacBook Pro blew the socks off our old 15-inch MacBook Pro with a dual-core 2.5GHz Core i5 from 2010, as well as the current Mac mini with a dual-core Core i5. It scored 11058 on the test, against scores of 4794 for the older MacBook Pro and 6526 for the Mac mini. The new MacBook Pro is even more powerful than our fully optioned iMac from 2009 that was fitted with a first-generation quad-core Core i7 clocked at 2.93GHz, which scored 8588 on the same test--the iMac was then even more powerful than the entry Mac Pro at the time.Display While Apple's use of the marketing term "Retina display" might annoy some people, it is a very focused way of highlighting what is a genuine selling point of its devices that employ super-high-resolution displays. Apple led the way with the iPhone 4, introduced less than three years ago, and then brought the high-resolution technology to the third-generation iPad earlier this year. While some phone makers have now caught up to or passed the pixel density in the iPhone, there is no tablet or notebook on the market than can touch the new iPad or the new MacBook Pro with Retina display for overall image sharpness and clarity. With a resolution of 2880x1800, the notebook packs 5.1 million pixels into its 15.4-inch display. Apple has also reduced the glare by 75 percent while offering contrast that is 29 percent higher than a standard MacBook Pro display. It is also uses IPS technology and offers horizontal and vertical viewing angles of 178 degrees. While the colors appear natural and well saturated, the color gamut of the display is about on par with standard MacBook Pro display and does not offer an improvement in this area (hence Apple's silence on the matter).Beyond this though, the design work that makes the screen so thin (and unrepairable) has been described by iFixit as an "engineering marvel." At just 7mm thin at its thickest point and 3mm at its thinnest, it is hard to believe that Apple managed to also cram in the necessary backlighting to make it work. It is of course part of the way in which Apple has managed to trim weight off the notebook. Other benefits of the display design also include the removal of an additional layer of glass (which is how it managed to reduce the glare) as well as giving the appearance that the text and images are much closer, as indeed they are. If the display is damaged, it will be a case of having to replace the entire assembly.Technical details aside, the new display really is amazing to behold. Text appears razor sharp, while editing images in Aperture or iPhoto is photo-realistic in the truest sense. Image and film editors, as well as graphic designers, have never had the ability to edit the smallest details of images when on the go as they do now. So not only does the new Retina display making reading much more enjoyable and easy, it will also improve the ability for users to get their job done better. Users are also offered the option to change the display settings to create additional space on their desktop, although all involve some sort of scaling for legibility. Apple does not currently offer users the ability to view the display in its native 2880x1800 resolution icons and text would be simply too small to be of any practical use.On the downside, there are very few websites or apps that are optimized to make the most of the Retina display at the moment. As the new iPad is selling millions of units, there has been plenty of motivation for developers to get on board and update their apps--this will be less the case with the new MacBook Pro. It goes without saying that that OS X looks stunning on the Retina display, as do the updated apps including Aperture and Final Cut Pro. Other major apps in line for a Retina update include Adobe Photoshop and Autodesk AutoCAD, while Apple has also updated iMovie and iPhoto. However, it will be some time before we see websites catch up as the balance between image quality and the speed of page loading will remain the priority there. Other apps will get there eventually, but it will take time.ConnectivityApple has opted to drop all legacy ports on the new MacBook Pro with Retina display. For users who still need Firewire or Gigabit Ethernet support, Apple is making an adapter available for each of the connections - the Gigabit adapter is available now, while the FireWire adapter won't be available until sometime in July. In their place are two Thunderbolt ports (10 Gbps), while the new Pro also offers up two USB 3.0 ports (5 Gbps) that are backwards-compatible with USB 2.0. For users who don't already have a Thunderbolt display and still use legacy FireWire peripherals and Gigabit Ethernet, Apple has just given another reason to upgrade. For those who aren't aware, the Thunderbolt display allows you to hook up your MacBook to the display via a single Thunderbolt cable. On the rear of the display, it incorporates another Thunderbolt input as well as a FireWire 800 port, a Gigabit Ethernet port and three USB 2.0 ports, allowing a user to plug in all their peripherals to the rear of the display rather than routing multiple cables to the MacBook itself.Also built into the next-generation MacBook Pro is an SDXC card slot to be found on the right-hand side of the device, where you will also find an HDMI port--a first for an Apple notebook, following availability on the Apple TV and the Mac mini. There is also support for digital/analog audio line out, while it also uses the latest Bluetooth 4.0 standard in common with the new iPad.Perhaps the only area where Apple has not upped the game from a connectivity perspective is in wireless options. Although it uses 802.11n, routers with support for the next-generation wireless standard 802.11ac are just starting to hit the market. We suspect that the latest-generation MacBook may be upgradeable to the new wireless standard sometime in the future. Overall, though, the inclusion of two Thunderbolt ports and two USB 3.0 ports offers power users a tremendous amount of flexibility now and into the future.For this review, we migrated Mac to Mac over Thunderbolt for the first time. To do this, we simply launched the Migration utility on the MacBook Pro and restarted our Mac mini while holding down the "command" and "T" keys, which put it into target disk mode. While a more traditional migration over FireWire or Gigabit Ethernet might have taken several hours, our Mac mini (which was also fitted with a 256GB SSD) managed the entire migration in an astonishing 24 minutes. This included all documents, files, settings and apps that totalled around 220GB. Keyboard, trackpad, MagSafe 2We have no complaints with the backlit keyboard. While some might consider it slightly on the shallow side, it is certainly very comfortable to type on and is also noticeably very quiet. By comparison, Apple's wireless desktop keyboard has a longer throw, but is also significantly noisier by comparison. Business people should be able to have no problem typing on a commercial flight, sitting next to someone with their new MacBook Pro without fear of annoying them. The larger palm rest area offered by the 15-inch notebook also makes it more comfortable to type on, as does its thinner profile--on the standard MacBook Pro, the extra height can cause some discomfort when typing on a flat surface because of the squared-off leading edge.Apple's large glass trackpad continues to be a joy to use. Given our experience with even the most recent multitouch trackpads on Windows notebooks, there is still no comparison with how good Apple's implementation is. It is highly responsive to user input and can be utilized to significantly boost workflow on Mac OS X with its wide range of multitouch gestures. Swiping with two fingers left or right will move you between pages in Safari. Swiping left or right with three fingers lets you switch between full screen apps. Mission Control is launched by swiping up with three fingers, while swiping down with three fingers triggers app Expose. Pinching with your thumb and three fingers will trigger Launchpad, the iPad-like app browser, while spreading with your thumb and three fingers will show the desktop. One of the new features that we are yet to be convinced of is Apple's new MagSafe 2 adapter. We did not have any gripes with the original MagSafe adapter, which was a huge improvement over the original power plug that made it easy for a connected MacBook to be pulled off a desk or out of someone's hands if someone tripped over the power cord or got it hooked on something while transporting it. Apple says that, because of the thinner profile of the next-generation design, engineers needed to tweak the Magsafe connection. While its magnet holds in place the power supply in most instances with decent grip, sitting with the notebook on your lap while it is charging can result in the Magsafe 2 adapter being dislodged too easily with any upwards or downwards pressure.Wrap-up If you're waiting for Apple to release a MacBook Air with Retina display, it could be a longer wait than most anticipate. There is a reason that the MacBook Pro with Retina display is shaped like it is. Apple likely couldn't have delivered this notebook with a tapered design for at least a couple of reasons, the most critical being the size of the battery needed to power the Retina display. It's no accident that the battery stuffed inside this MacBook is the biggest yet. Even with the additional battery size, the new MacBook Pro with Retina display delivers only the same battery life as the standard MacBook Pro because the display is so densely packed with pixels that it needs a strip of 48 LED backlights to push light through the LCD panel. The next notebook rumoured to be inline for a Retina upgrade is the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which the rumor mill says will arrive around October. In the meantime, if you want to get your hands on a MacBook with a Retina display, your only option is the 15-inch variant. This means that it is not for everybody, as tempting as the Retina display may be. It is easily the most portable full-power notebook on the market, though it is still fairly large. While 4.46 pounds is also relatively light for a notebook this size, it does not compare with the 11- or 13-inch MacBook Air for overall portability. When you factor in the cost as well, it clearly remains targeted at creative professionals or other power-users who need the extra processing power that come with Intel's and NVIDIA's latest silicon.For its target audience, it's hard to think of any notebook that can be recommended over the next-generation MacBook Pro. Its system architecture and connectivity are cutting edge and offer the very best performance that is currently available--it is anti-obsolescence. The way this has then been crafted into a notebook only 0.71-inches thin just makes it all the more remarkable. The Retina display is the icing on the cake. As beautiful and sophisticated as the design of a notebook might be, the display is the one thing that you are really engaged with the whole time you are using the device. Here, Apple has taken users into another sphere of computing pleasure that no other manufacturer can claim to come close to. There is simply no more forward-looking notebook on the market; the new MacBook Pro with Retina display is the best notebook that Apple has made to date.

Tile Trivet
If I've been out of the shop for a while, I like to get some practice before tackling a large project. It gets my skills back in shape, and if I'm a little rusty my mistakes only generate a small amount of firewood. I'll make a few joints to be sure that my skills and tools are ready for the real thing.
Most people with hobbies do this. Golfers hit buckets of balls, softball players head to the batting cages and marathon runners jog through the neighborhood. But for some reason, many woodworkers are reluctant to practice without having something to show for it.
This trivet makes a great warm-up for any project that requires mortise-and-tenon joints, and if you're not sure which method you're most comfortable using, you can try a different technique at each corner. If things go wrong, you'll have material for kindling, not a bonfire; and if they go well, you'll have a nice accessory for your kitchen counter or dining room table.
We chose an attractive reproduction Arts & Crafts-style tile from Ford Craftsman Studios (www.fordcraftsman.com or 877-204-9961), but any 6″ x 6″ tile will work well. Purchase the tile before making its frame because tiles can vary in size from the stated dimension, and the sizes of all the wood parts depend on the size of the tile.
The tile sits in a 1/2″-wide rabbet cut on the inside edge of the completed frame, so the length of the rail from shoulder to shoulder should be 1-5/16″ less than the width of the tile. When the frame is together, cutting the two 1/2″ rabbets will leave room for the tile to drop in place with a little room around the edge. The tenons are 1″ long, so the overall length of these pieces will be 2″ more than the shoulder-to-shoulder distance.
The length of the stiles is the shoulder-to- shoulder distance of the rails plus two times the width of the material. We used 2 1/4″-wide material and our tile was 6″ square. Our rails are 7-1/16″ long, and the stiles are 9-9/16″ long. After figuring the lengths, lay out the location of the tenons and hold the parts against each other to make sure the assembled frame will be the same length on all four sides.
The tenons are 1/4″ thick and 1″ wide, and are offset toward the outside of the frame to avoid interfering with the rabbet. After double-checking the layout, cut the joints and assemble the frame. Measure the exact thickness of the tile. It should be about 1/4″, and the depth of your rabbet should leave about 1/16″ of the tile proud of the surface of the wood.
If the trivet frame were mitered, it would be easier to make the rabbets before assembly, but with mortise-and-tenon joinery, the rabbets on the long stiles need to stop before they reach the end. I cut the rabbets with a router after assembly with a 1/2″-wide rabbet bit, guided by a bearing below the cutter. This leaves the inside corners rounded, but these can be easily squared off with a sharp chisel.
To do this, set the back of the chisel against the vertical edge of the rabbet, and rock the end of the chisel toward the corner. This will make a scoring cut that will maintain a straight line into the corner from each direction. When the scoring cuts meet at the corner, place the sharp edge of the chisel in the cut and remove the end-grain material first. Then chop the long grain, and pare the bottom smooth, using the surface of the rabbet made by the router as a guide for the back of the chisel.
The square foot blocks on each corner give the trivet some character, and make it easy to place your hand under the edge to pick it up. A cove cut in the bottom edge improves the appearance of the feet. I made the cove cuts on the router table, routing one edge and both ends of a piece about 12″ long (see photo below). Using the long piece lets me safely make the cuts using a square piece of scrap to back up the work piece. I wouldn't attempt to rout the edges of parts as small as the feet at their finished size.
After the edges are done, cut the feet to size and glue them to the bottom of the stiles. Make sure the grain on the feet is oriented in the same direction as the grain in the stile. After the glue is dry, sand the top faces and edges; lightly chamfer the edges and finish. I used the finish formula described on page 31 in this issue, followed by two coats of water-based polyurethane for extra protection. WM

Ruffians, Pickpockets, and Jewel Fences
What was crime-fighting actually like in Sherlock Holmes-era London?
Click here to read June Thomas on the charms of Steven Moffat's Sherlock.
With the second season of Sherlock debuting this Sunday on PBS, here's an old-fashioned Edwardian mystery to warm up with: You are a police detective sent to the lair of "Kemmy" Grizzard, a notorious London jewel fence. He is known to have a stolen diamond necklace for sale on the premises. Inside, you find Kemmy and three likely buyers calmly sitting down in the dining room to a soup course. There is nothing incriminating in their pockets, and upon informing Kemmy that you will search the home from top to bottom, his response is ingratiatingly polite: Gentlemen, search wherever you like.
The house is turned upside down for four hours; nothing is found, and you leave in defeat. So where did the necklace go? The solution is almost as simple as Poe's purloined letter:
"The Chief-Inspector and his men went away. Without saying a word to the other men, Kemmy went on with his dinner, he drank the now-cold soup, and then from the bottom of the plate, took out the diamond necklace. It was washed, and auctioned."
It's a lapse worthy of Sherlock Holmes' hapless Scotland Yard foil, the dogged but unimaginative Inspector Lestrade. But unlike Holmes or Lestrade, Kemmy Grizzard was real—and his home at 73 Parkholme Road still stands today. The story comes from George Cornish's memoir Cornish of Scotland Yard (1935), which is part of a genre of long-forgotten Yard tell-alls that flourished as a group of old-timers retired in the 1930s. They offer a fascinating, almost wistful glimpse into a gaslit era of crime—the real-life London most of us only know from the fictional tales of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Being a Yard grunt in the 1880s was tough work: The men often began as East End detectives working, as Detective Sergeant Benjamin Leeson put it, for "24 bob a week and a good hiding at more or less regular intervals." Leeson's Lost London: Memoirs of an East End Detective (1934) begins with his inauspicious first hours on the job, when he is dutifully hazed by being sent into Shovel Alley—"so named because it was chiefly inhabited by 'coalies' who fought and killed people with their shovels." Leeson got off fairly easy: After residents cheerily guffawed "Copper lost his way!" he was swept into a brawl and lost his helmet. It turned up later, "being used by a crowd of boys as a football."
Leeson had joined the force just as the Jack the Ripper murders were terrifying London, and the Ripper haunts Scotland Yard memoirs. Frederick Porter Wensley joined the force around the same time Lesson did, and in Forty Years in Scotland Yard (1931), he recalls these first weeks on the job, as hundreds of police scoured the streets of the Whitechapel slums without result. Wensley and others took to nailing pieces of old rubber bicycle tires to the soles of their regulation boots, the better to quietly pad up behind the Ripper while in the act.
One newly hired officer, P.C. Ernest Thompson, may have succeeded all too well when he spotted a suspicious character in Swallow Gardens. "He is believed to be the only constable who ever saw Jack the Ripper," records Chief Inspector Tom Divall in Scoundrels and Scallywags (And Some Honest Men) (1929). "He ran after him, but fell over something on the ground; turning his bull's eye lamp on to see what it was, he was shocked to find the mutilated body of a female." This was Frances Coles, who was still alive, barely, but unable to speak.
Thompson was left badly shaken. "When he came to himself again," Divall writes, "he told those around him that he was sure he would never die a natural death." Thompson was correct: He was later fatally stabbed in the line of duty.
Even without the Ripper, Whitechapel's legendary reputation for crime was richly deserved. Chief Inspector Divall recalls characters like Peggy Donovan, an improbable ruffian who robbed the unsuspecting by unscrewing his wooden leg and using it to club his victims over the head. Other criminals had a lighter touch: One gang, called the Stickers, was known for filching coins from bar tills by using walking sticks covered with adhesive.
The police themselves, on occasion, could display an equal finesse. While the penchant for disguise in detective fiction like Arthur Conan Doyle's is invariably debunked—"Now this is all fudge" scoffed Detective Inspector Andrew Lansdowne in A Life's Reminiscences of Scotland Yard (1890)—he does admit that to pose as likely buyers of pornography, the police donned ... clerical garb. "It was scarcely a credit to the cloth that a clergyman's attire was considered the best disguise," he writes, "but it was."
For many years, Scotland Yard's tools remained about as crude as Peggy Donovan's wooden leg. When the first Sherlock Holmes story ran in 1887, fingerprinting at the Yard was still over a decade away. And while recounting a horrific 1901 triple-murder in a Camberwell grocery, the memoir Savage of Scotland Yard (1934)—penned by one Superintendent Percy Savage—offers this offhanded revelation: "In those days no police station in London was on the public telephone, and communication between one station and another was by means of old-fashioned needle instrument, which was not abolished until some years later ... The police had no motor-cars then ... [Officers], no matter how urgent their business, had either to walk or ride in horse-drawn buses or tramcars."
For these men, policing often meant witness testimony, working with the visible evidence left at the crime scene, and intuiting the involvement of such notorious local characters as Half-Pay Nancy, Tommy Demise, and "Mog the Man"—the last, naturally, being a woman who fought stripped to the waist and who bore "over 50 convictions for assault and drunkenness."
In short, police had many of the same tools as Sherlock Holmes, if not his brilliance. This state of affairs hints at one reason why Doyle's stories still fascinate us. They conjure up a London when one can imagine an amateur detective armed only with a keen mind and a magnifying glass solving the crime. By the 1930s, detection was truly a team effort, increasingly backed by careful recordkeeping and laboratory work—and now, the old Yarders complained, it was crime itself that seemed to have become the pursuit of amateurs.
"My experience convinces me that the criminals of 20 and 30 years ago were cleverer, more daring and more enterprising than the criminals of to-day," Superintendent Savage mused in his retirement. He believed that no technology had changed crime more than the arrival of the automobile: "The introduction of the motor-car has made life easy and less risky for criminals ... mobility makes the chance of capture much less than it used to be."
As for our notorious jewel crook Kemmy Grizzard, though, the Yard eventually got their man: They nabbed Kemmy in 1913 with the "Mayer Necklace," a string of pearls then valued by Lloyds at £150,000. Not even the thickest pea-soup, it seems, could hide a crime like that.

SOURCE: Advanced Micro Devices
February 20, 2014 09:46 ET
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 20, 2014) - Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE: AMD) today announced that it commenced a cash tender offer for an aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 8.125% Senior Notes due 2017 (the "Notes") such that the aggregate consideration paid (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) does not exceed (i) $490,000,000 less (ii) the aggregate consideration paid or payable (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) by AMD in its concurrent tender offer for its outstanding 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015, which was separately announced by AMD today (the "Maximum Tender Amount"), provided that in no event will AMD purchase more than $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. AMD intends to finance the purchase of the Notes tendered in the tender offer with the net proceeds from the closing of AMD's private offering of $500 million of senior notes due 2019 (the "New Notes Offering"), which was also separately announced by AMD today.
The tender offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on March 19, 2014, unless extended (such date and time, as it may be extended, the "Expiration Date") or earlier terminated by AMD. Holders who validly tender, and do not validly withdraw, their Notes on or prior to the Expiration Date will be entitled to receive $1,014.83 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes purchased in the tender offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of payment for the Notes accepted for payment. Furthermore, holders who validly tender, and do not validly withdraw, their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 5, 2014 (the "Early Tender Time") will receive $30.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes purchased pursuant to the tender offer, resulting in a total consideration of $1,044.83 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Tenders of Notes must be made on or prior to the Expiration Date. Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Time may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 5, 2014. Notes tendered after such withdrawal deadline may not be withdrawn.
To the extent that acceptances of all validly tendered Notes would require AMD to purchase more than the Maximum Amount of Notes in connection with the tender offer, AMD will allocate acceptances on a pro rata basis among the tendering holders.
The tender offer is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the closing of New Notes Offering, which will be subject to customary closing conditions.
Full details of the terms and conditions of the tender offer are included in the Offer to Purchase dated February 20, 2014.
AMD has retained BofA Merrill Lynch to act as the Dealer Manager for the tender offer. Questions regarding the tender offer may be directed to BofA Merrill Lynch at (888) 292-0070 (toll-free) or (980) 387-3907 (collect). Requests for the Offer to Purchase and other documents relating to the tender offer may be directed to MacKenzie Partners, Inc., the Information Agent and Depositary in connection with the tender offer, at (800) 322-2885 (toll-free) or (212) 929-5500 (collect).
None of AMD, any member of its Board of Directors, the Dealer Manager or the Information Agent/Depositary is making any recommendation to Holders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their Notes into the tender offer. Holders must decide whether they will tender in the offer and, if so, how many Notes they will tender.
This release is for information purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes or any other securities. The tender offer is only being made pursuant to the tender offer documents, including the Offer to Purchase and the related letter of transmittal that AMD is distributing to holders of the Notes. The tender offer is not being made to holders in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.

SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) provides both OLAP & Data Mining functionality. However, after you have developed and deployed solutions you will find the need to begin managing the server's activity. In this post I will provide you with an overview of the various techniques & tips you can use to monitor and in some cases manage SSAS.
SSAS Connection Architecture
There are three layers to connections in SSAS: Connections, Sessions, and Commands. Connections are just that, they represent a connection from a client to the server. Sessions provide statefulness for the connections such as transactions and command context. You are then left with Commands. Commands are just that, they represent the individual queries sent to the SSAS server. As you can imagine these three layers are tied together: Connections have Sessions and Sessions have Commands.
Viewing SSAS Activity
Now that you understand the basics of SSAS connection architecture how do you start working with this data? Well, as with most things in SSAS, its not AS EASY when compared to the server's relational sibling. I begin with the easiest approach: tools.There are a few available tools that one can use to view and manage SSAS activity. First and foremost is that of SQLSentry's Performance Advisor for Analysis Services. This tool is hands down the best SSAS monitoring tool available. SQLSentry clearly filled a large void in the SSAS world. Moving on, there is a sample application called Activity Viewer found on CodePlex. This tool provides a basic, stripped-down activity monitor application that you can use. The tools I mentioned above provide this ability but perhaps you are in one of those shops that don't spend much money on 3rd party tools, now what? Analysis Services ships with what is called Schema Rowsets. There are similar to the concept of Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) (in fact some people refer to SSAS Schema Rowsets as 'DMVs') found in the relational engine as they provide us with the dynamic activity of the SSAS server. To find out currently running Connections, Sessions, and Commands you simply need to query the following three Schema Rowsets:
Note: If you would like to see every SSAS Schema Rowset that is available simply run the following MDX:
Run the following MDX queries to return all current connection activity:
Killing SSAS Activity
Most importantly, not only does one need the ability to view SSAS activity but to control various activities. Usually the reason behind controlling activity is simple, there is a long-running MDX command that is affecting concurrent users on the server. Again, what about those of you who don't have access to 3rd party tools? XML for Analysis (XMLA), which was introduced with SSAS 2005 provides a Cancel command. Using the Cancel command you can kill any of the three objects we have discussed today. As an example below is a XMLA script that I used to terminate a sample connection:
<Cancel xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"><ConnectionID>21</ConnectionID></Cancel>
Killing SSAS Activity Automatically
Last but not least, what if you want to kill SSAS activity on a regular basis? Well, you can use SQL Server Agent and another BI tool called SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)! You can build a SSAS Activity Monitoring package from scratch or you can leverage Chris Webb's solution. Either way, these solutions provide a decent work around for the problem of having long running MDX queries bogging down your server.
Happy Monitoring!

Employed Hobo: A new social class that originated in the United States of America. With an all but mythological middle class vanishing, a new class has been formed. Employed Hobos are in a quasi class of being employed yet "homeless" for all intents and purposes. Never truely owning anything besides their clothes, everything is rented because of low wages and price inflation. Their only true possesions, clothes, tend to be hand me downs, clothes they have had for at least a decade and still in use or aquired from thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets.
Look at John, an Employed Hobo. He's still wearing shirts he bought from Mervyn's ten years ago. He rents everything, his TV, car, apartment and even the toaster. He will never make enough to get out of the cycle of working to work.

Well it's time for your weekly Teen Mom drama update and veteran tabloid topics Maci Bookout and Gary Shirley are back!
For most teens they fear their diary will end up passed around school, but in Teen Mom star Maci's case her diary is being passed around the tabloids! Oops! Behaving like a typical teen Maci warbled her thoughts to her friend dear diary and apparently, accidentally left the diary on a table where boyfriend Kyle King happened to find it causing him to dump her.
In a new exclusive from OK Magazine they reveal just what shocking information Kyle discovered! After reading Maci's thoughts, Kyle who believed Maci was in love with him, soon found out she still has a thing for ex-boyfriend Ryan Edwards– who is her son, Bentley's father.
According to a source: "Maci wrote that she'll always love Ryan and that she really misses him. And how they've got great sexual chemistry." Poor Kyle was ostensibly beside himself: "When he told Maci he'd read the diary, he was sort of crying. Maci tried to explain it, but it didn't seem to matter. He left the apartment and they haven't talked in, like, a week." Maci's innermost thoughts became fodder for public consumption when someone an enraged Kyle, naturally called the tabloids! Whatever happened to calling a friend?
Maci is furious with Kyle too – as the "devoted diarist" is shocked Kyle would read her private musings! Another insider Maci claims: "She told Kyle that it's just words, that she's with him now. It's not like Maci wrote, 'I want to marry Ryan and have more kids with him.' It was more that a part of her will always love Ryan. Ryan's the father of her son and whenever she looks at Bentley, he's a part of Ryan, too." Will this drama be on the upcoming season of Teen Mom? One can only hope. Meanwhile it appears this story is true as Maci, who typically denies tabloid stories on her twitter, has yet to deny this one.
In other ridiculous Teen Mom news, Gary Shirley – father of Amber Portwood's daughter Leah -has started a Twitter page for his two-year-old daughter. What's next Toddlers in Tiaras? According to Us Magazine, Shirley, who immediately came under attack for pimping out his toddler, responded saying: "You guys, it should be obvious that Leah has no contact with Twitter," he wrote. "This is just a fun concept that will in no way affect Leah herself."
Shirley further clarified it's him Tweeting (just in case anyone assumed it was a two-year-old): "This is for her sayings, things she's doing, etc. It's all me tweeting!" He also claims Leah does not actually read the Tweets. Sadly, despite the controversy Leah already has almost 5,000 followers. No comment from mama Amber, who is currently visiting rehab after a suicide attempt, on whether or not she approves of Toddlers on Twitter.

Do you think Kyle should have read Maci's diary? Do you think Maci and Kyle will get back together? Would you put your two-year-old on Twitter?

What is Project LED? Find out here
Day of April 5th 2014
- Electricity is so necessary…
- Everyone has their dark corners.
- Wolfram Alpha is taking a shot at a very impressive goal: to produce a free-form, accessible database of all data represented knowledge. A computer that can answer all questions (in whatever form you input) with data.
- https://www.mathway.com/ is a very helpful math tool. It can solve all major types of problems and even provide step by step guidance.
- A lot of the people younger than me actually use Google+ as their primary social network. I don't see much of other social networks because my group of friends and I are habituated to Facebook.
- Working almost a full day without electricity in the workplace was rather difficult.
- Watching one of my fellows in a moment of distress made me aware of a different side of his personality.
- Suggested to download the Wolfram Alpha app. Decided to Google search it and ended up on their "about" page. http://www.wolframalpha.com/about.html
- Listed as a useful tool on a newsfeed I monitor.
- Conversation with my students reveal that many of them and their friends have full networks on Google+. Their networks include other kids from their schools and even neighborhood friends.

First off this is my first post so I really hope I am doing everything correctly and posted this is the right forum. Also I tired the search but didnt find anything. I have been kindof fearful to post since I figurged as soon as I did I would find it out on this site.
Heres the deal. I have a linksys BEFSR81 v3 router (wired). Our network is running fine with no problems. Now my we have a D link 624 wireless router. I am currently a student at a tech school and just basically found my love for network and security but I am still very new. My network now looks like . the cable modem going to the linksys router (the wired). I then have 1 of the LAN ports going from the linksys to the d-link hooking up to a LAN port (I made sure it wasnt the wan). So I already config it before connecting everything and I disable DHCP server for the d-link. I also change the IP address of the d-link so it wasnt the same as the linksys. Also did made password and setup dates and what not.
What I really would like to be able to do is when I go to 192.168.1.1 I get to my Linksys router(which works) but when I go the IP for the d-link it doesnt . So when I try typing the d-link address in the address bar I cant get to it. I am wondering what I have to do if you can even can to just enter in an IP address that takes me to my d-link router. Or if I am just not doing right at all and there a much better way to do it if not safer of the security side of things.
Thank you in advance for the help.

YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — An Indonesian military court has sentenced eight soldiers from the country's elite special forces unit to up to 11 years in jail for storming a prison and fatally shooting four detainees.
Presiding Judge Lt. Col. Joko Sasmito told a military court in Yogyakarta, on the main island of Java, Thursday that Sgt. Ucok Tigor Simbolon was found guilty of executing the detainees and sentenced him to 11 years. Two other soldiers got eight and six years for helping with the executions.
The soldiers broke into Yogyakarta's Cebongan prison March 23 and killed four men held on charges of murdering a member of the elite army unit, known as Kopassus.
Five other soldiers were sentenced Thursday to 21 months in a separate trial. Verdicts for four other soldiers are due Friday.

Hooksett School Board to explain school options at special meeting
HOOKSETT — The School Board has scheduled a special meeting for Monday to discuss the district's search for a place to send the town's high school students.
Board Chairman Trisha Korkosz and Vice Chairman David Pearl agreed the meeting is a good step in ending the acrimony that has been plaguing the board in recent months.
"Well, email is greatly reduced since the compromise was made at the last meeting, and it seems to be OK so far. But it doesn't mean all disagreements are solved. But I am cautiously optimistic that things will get better," Korkosz said.
Pearl agreed, saying things between himself and Korkosz seem to be going much better.
"I would have to say so far so good. I think it went well. Everyone is relieved to move forward and not have to go through the uncomfortable issues we have had," Pearl said.
Hooksett is exploring options to replace the soon-to-expire contract the district has with Manchester for its high school students. The contract will end in 2014 after the two districts came to an agreement following a pair of court-ordered mediation sessions last month regarding Hooksett's breach claim against Manchester and Manchester's injunction claim against Hooksett.
"It is important for the public to attend this meeting. This is a complex issue, and we have a short amount of time to put something together. I hope we have a format that accommodates the public but keeps us efficient," Pearl said.
During the meeting, which will include multiple public input sessions so the public can ask questions and make statements to the board, School Board members and district officials will discuss the pros and cons of the single-district sending option, multi-district option or hybrid option."During the course of our last School Board meeting, we got into discussing the high school situation, what our different options are. It was going into greater detail than time would allow, so we decided to schedule a special meeting on the 19th so we could," Korkosz said.
She said a large part of the meeting will be designed to inform the public of what the district's options are, as there has been a great deal of confusion regarding the hybrid option. Korkosz said Superintendent Charles Littlefield brought up the notion of a hybrid option but that he didn't go into very much detail, possibly leading to some confusion among residents.
"A hybrid model involves a school that can take all of our students, but then having agreements with other schools that could take a smaller amount depending on geography or if a big school is too much for a student," Korkosz said.
She added that she is also open to discussing a multi-district option, which Pearl and fellow board member John Lyscars favor, or the single-district options the board already decided to go ahead with.
"Multi-district sounds good in theory, but in my opinion it would just be a logistical nightmare," Korkosz said.
Korkosz said that the format of the meeting has yet to be finalized, as Dr. Littlefield will not be back in the office until Thursday.

Depp at 50: 'Just happy to still be around'
SANTA FE, N.M. -- It may be difficult to separate Johnny Depp from his "Pirates" character Jack Sparrow, but the actor recalls a time before the boozy buccaneer became a household name.
"The films that I did prior to 'Pirates,' ... not everything but a lot of it, was sort of by industry standards, not blockbuster stuff. So I wasn't ever blockbuster material," said Depp in a recent interview.
But that's not to say he didn't have fun during those years.
"I've been lucky enough to be involved in some very small and different independent films throughout my career and I've been able to be involved in, you know, a couple of films that shocked everybody, especially me," he said.
Since 2003, Depp has played the flamboyant captain in four hugely successful "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, with a fifth installment slated for 2015.
At age 50, he is still one the hottest names in Hollywood and is currently starring in another big-budget summer flick, "The Lone Ranger," which has received tepid reviews.
"The only thing I can equate it with is luck. There's no other reason," he said of his career longevity. "The fact that I was able to survive through that 15 years of just bouncing around doing (indie) movies and now still to end up here is amazing."
Despite his success, Depp recognizes that life on Hollywood's A-list can be fleeting.
"I certainly wouldn't expect that it is one of those things that is going to stick around forever and ever," he said. "The clock ticks, the time's up and the next guy steps in or whatever and that's how it goes."
When he's not busy making films, Depp said music continues to be his main inspiration. Writing, playing guitar and one-off performances with artists like Keith Richards, Aerosmith, Black Keys, Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson keep his creative juices flowing.
Depp says that in the last couple of years, he's had "sort of a rebirth of my relationship with music. So I've been playing more and writing more and it's led to invitations to play with people."
Depp, who celebrated his milestone birthday June 9, refuses to take a single day for granted.
"Just to be here still is pretty amazing," he said. "Every day should be some sort of celebration. So yeah, I guess when you hit 50 finally ... it's just happy to still be around."
