MIDDLEBURY- In a cooperative effort between the Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT) and Middlebury, Faith Sessions-Neil, of Hinesburg, and her sister Janice Allen, of Englewood, Fla., protected an 11.7-acre piece of land in East Middlebury a few years ago.
The property lies off Ossie Road and contains 1,600 feet of frontage on the north bank of the Middlebury River as well as two islands in the river. The MALT and the Town of Middlebury jointly purchased the land from the sisters.
The land has been in the family since it was purchased by Faith's great grandfather Hiram Champlin Sessions in 1830.
Handed down through the generations, Faith's brother Edson eventually inherited the original farmhouse and 10 acres of land, and Faith and Janice inherited the lands east of Route 7, including the parcel that MALT and the Town of Middlebury purchased.
Faith remarked at the time of the agreement, "My sister Janice and I are so pleased to have MALT and the Town of Middlebury purchase our land that borders the East Middlebury River. The river is so unsettled and raging at times; we feel that MALT can manage and protect the river corridor in the best possible way. We hope that MALT can help protect the land to the south of the river as well."

Is the above situation sexual harassment? Perhaps. Or perhaps not.
If you ask Christine Walters, the first director of the Sexual Harassment Prevention and Resolution Program at Johns Hopkins, this professor's invitation might be construed as such. While everyone is likely to be familiar with the form of harassment that offers professional advancement in return for sexual favors, Walters says more typical harassment cases are less clear-cut.
"Most people think of harassment as quid pro quo: If you do me a favor, I'll do you a favor," says Walters. "Everyone knows that is wrong, and that is certainly less common." What is more common, Walters says, is the "hostile work environment situation." Whether it be off-color jokes told in a common area, or a repeated request for a date, a hostile environment is created when someone or something in the workplace makes a co-worker unable to do his or her job properly.
In an effort to define and resolve harassment issues, university officials have put in place in the nine university divisions a network of volunteers who are trained to handle these types of complaints. Although this network has been in place for four years, until Walters was hired in early April, there was no full-time staff member who was solely responsible for coordinating this network and investigating these complaints.
Steven Knapp, provost and vice president for academic affairs, says Walters' position was created in order to provide training and support for the network's complaint handlers. Also, with laws regarding harassment changing rapidly, he says, someone was needed to keep up with and apply the ever-evolving definition of sexual harassment to education in the workplace.
"The problem we felt was that there was nobody to coordinate this network that was scattered over the vast units of the university," Knapp says. "We wanted to add a new level of sophistication to what was already an effective network."
Before joining Hopkins, Walters was the senior manager of human resources for Baltimore-based Sinai Health Systems, where she spent nine years in various human resources positions. Knapp says Walters, who is an attorney, was chosen as the program's director due to her expertise in both human resources and legal matters. A psychology major at Lynchburg College, Walters received a master's in administrative science from Johns Hopkins in 1989 and her law degree from the University of Baltimore in 1995. In her new position, Walters, who has an office in Garland Hall, will report directly to the Provost's Office.
Walters sees her new role as an educator and mediator for the sexual harassment issues that creep into the workplace.
A common example of harassment, she says, is the telling of racy jokes in small departments.
"It's wonderful to have good morale and a pleasant and fun work environment when everybody is accepting of that type of behavior," Walters says. "But when a new employee comes on board and isn't used to these people, or that type of banter, for them this may become a hostile work environment."
Or sometimes harassment is not sexual but rather a form of discrimination.
Walters gives as an example a group of students who feel discriminated against because they believe that a professor is giving preferential treatment to a group of the opposite gender.
And some cases of perceived harassment may be due to a cultural misunderstanding.
"A student or employee may be alarmed by direct eye contact and feel that behavior is sexually aggressive," Walters says.
Her human resources experience, she says, has given her a real understanding of how a culturally diverse workplace like the one at Hopkins can lead to such misunderstandings.
Asked to describe her role, Walters says it's one of "intervention."
When a complaint is received, whether it comes through Walters or a SHPRP member, she says it's her responsibility to conduct a "prompt and proper" investigation. This includes getting the complainant's side of the story, the alleged harasser's side, talking to all witnesses and addressing a "myriad of other issues," such as if other people of the same gender have a similar reaction to the accused's behavior.
"We will see if there is an adequate basis in fact," Walters says. "Then we will try to correct the behavior through education or some other medium."
However, Walters warns that she can't promise confidentiality when it comes to claims of sexual harassment.
"I, and the university, have a legal obligation to address and resolve the issue, and, in doing so, it may be necessary to disclose the complaint," she says. "What I can assure is that details of a complaint will be shared only as far as necessary to resolve the matter."
And although there are individuals at campus ministries, FASAP and student counseling services who do promise confidentiality, Walters says the problem with taking this route is that these individuals can give advice but have no authority to do anything about the perceived problem.
"It's my hope that everyone will have a good level of comfort in coming to me with the complaint," Walters says. "We can't fix a problem if we don't know it exists."
Yet Walters understands that some people are simply afraid to make claims of sexual harassment. Many times the harassment case is a power issue, such as one involving a teacher and a student, or a supervisor and a staff member.
"They fear retaliation. The students might feel they'll get lower grades, or a professor is afraid of not getting tenure, or a staff member feels she'll get disciplined or fired," Walters says.
Walters says that the program is not about advocacy; her responsibility is that both sides of the story are told. And she warns that knowingly false allegations are treated just as seriously.
Knapp says that organizations like Hopkins have a responsibility to provide these types of services to their students, staff and faculty.
"This network was not based on a sense of crisis," Knapp says.
A total of 27 contacts with SHPRP regarding sexual harassment were received for the 1996-97 academic year, only 10 of which led to formal investigations. "Hopkins, like many other institutions, is trying to be proactive to these harassment issues," Knapp says.
In her first few months at Hopkins, Walters has already met with many deans and department heads to offer what she calls "update sessions." These sessions are intended to inform these people of changes in the law and how the Sexual Harassment Prevention and Resolution Program works.
"We're basically just letting people know what we do," Walters says.
And that's one of the more important aspects of her job, Walters says: letting those who feel they are being harassed know there is a university-based resource they can turn to for help.
For questions, complaints and information, faculty, staff and students are encouraged to call Christine Walters at 410-516-4282.

- all economists who appeased the Pinochet regime, or support those who did, should explain themselves;
- exceptions for school boards in NZ show how tightly constrained any justifiable "transitional dictatorship" should be; and
- regional government dictatorship in NZ shows how easy it is for the "transitional dictatorship" idea to break out from its natural habitat.
Hayek was the founder of the Mont Pelerin Society, an invitation-only club of economists (& others) formed in 1947 to oppose government involvement in the economy. I've long conjectured that Wellington has the greatest concentration of MPS members on the planet, but its a secret society so we'll never know.
What we do know is that the MPS gave intellectual and moral support to Pinochet, the CIA-backed military dictator who in 1973 deposed the overwhelming choice of voters: Salvador Allende of Chile.
|Political prisoner, National Stadium in Santiago, Chile, 1973. Koen Wessing
Some say Allende was too moderate, and he might well have made economic mistakes, but that is no reason to engineer a military coup against a popularly-elected government. Fascists are pretty brutal once they get power: the 1973 coup in Chile resulted in terrible atrocities, including the extra-judicial killing of at least 3000 people. Even transitional dictatorship fans must agree that seventeen years of Pinochet was a very leisurely transition indeed.
Pinochet's transitional dictatorship in Chile operated from 1973 - 1990. The Mont Pelerin Society met in Chile in 1981, well after Pinochet's human rights abuses were obvious. As one who fought the Springbok tour that same year, I say that every participant at that meeting gave succour to a vile and tyrannical dictator and they should all be very ashamed of themselves.
The late sainted James Buchanan was at those meetings (that's the economist, not his namesake who was one of the worst ever USA presidents). Apparently Buchanan's paper was titled "Limited or Unlimited Democracy" and explored the idea of limiting democracy to depoliticize the state so that unconstrained market forces could guide human interaction. Anyone got a link to the full paper? Key point: Buchanan was there, succouring up to Pinochet, at a time when freedom-loving economists should have been boycotting Chile.
Local Applications
There are times when transitional dictatorship is necessary & appropriate. In NZ, schools are governed by a locally-sourced board of trustees, and sometimes people take to squabbling and the boards get so dysfunctional that the minister appoints a transitional dictator to sort things out. Fine, IMHO, and I've been happy to serve as an appointee in such cases.
Much less defensibly, transitional dictatorships are sometimes imposed with the apparent aim of delivering outcomes for a political constituency. Back in 2010, the current government effected a coup over regional government in Canterbury, citing water issues that, funnily enough, many people in Canterbury are still pretty pissed off about.
Takeaway Points
1. Libertarian apologists for dictatorships should explain themselves
2. If dead, their apologists should do it for them

Two weeks ago, I asked for your help in creating a comprehensive list of SQL Server "worst practices." I thought this task would be a fun twist on the annual tradition of making New Year's resolutions, and I hoped that all of us could learn something along the way.
I know that talking about best practices—what you SHOULD do—is more politically correct. But the world would be a happier place to work and live in if we found a way to avoid the common mistakes we make day in and day out.
I've received a lot of support for this endeavor, and you've sent a great compilation of worst practices. The first group of worst-practices items is below. As the list grows, I hope it will serve as a reminder to experienced SQL Server professionals to avoid these common mistakes. I suspect that the list will also become a resource for SQL Server beginners as they learn the ropes. As the list grows, I'll occasionally publish some of the latest and greatest worst practices in this newsletter. I'll also find a location on the SQL Server Magazine Web site to post the list so I can keep it up-to-date.
The items in the following list appear in no particular order of importance, and I've liberally mixed administration and development worst practices.
Worst Practices:
- Making production changes without testing them in a quality-assurance environment just because it's easier and saves time.
- Running SQL Server in mixed-authentication mode without a NULL password for the systems administrator (sa) account.
- Using inconsistent and arcane naming conventions for tables and columns.
- Assuming someone else is doing the backup.
- Assuming that the backup can be restored even though you've never tested your recovery plan.
- Allowing NULL columns just because you're too lazy to figure out column defaults and constraints.
- Hard-coding your applications to connect using sa.
Needless to say, I've never personally made ANY of these horrifying mistakes. But I have a friend who admits to making them from time to time. This list is far from comprehensive, so keep your suggestions coming!

|Brief description
A podcast (or non-streamed webcast) is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and often downloaded through web syndication. The word replaced webcast in common vernacular due to the fame of the iPod and its role in the rising popularity and innovation of web feeds. The mode of delivery differentiates podcasting from other means of accessing media files over the Internet, such as direct download, or streamed webcasting.

We run into a lot of great classic Hondas and BMWs when searching eBay, but this week our favorite listing is a lovingly-maintained Kawasaki KZ1000 MKII. With just a little over 24,000 original miles, it's had the care a good bike deserves, and it's ready for a new owner.
Though this blog often includes a variety of bikes in a variety of conditions, we love to see an original bike for sale that someone has really taken care of. Today that's exactly what we've found: a 1974 Kawasaki Z1 that's ready for a new home and needs next to nothing.
Classic meets extreme in a wild Kawasaki-Suzuki hybrid motorcycle.

Around here we like café racers, restored bikes, original bikes, customs, bobbers and sometimes even bikes that don't fit nicely into any one category — like this 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000.
The Kawasaki H1 was introduced in late 1968. The Sixties were in full swing, and dizzying changes in art, music and politics were taking place. Motorcycles were changing, as well.
This week's eBay find is a 1976 Kawasaki KZ900 LTD, a one-year-only version of the KZ900. According to The Standard Catalog of Japanese Motorcycles, the LTD was more of a cruiser than the standard KZ900, and it featured a Jardine four-into-two exhaust, speacial paint and a more deeply countoured seat.
Kawasaki has made a wide variety of motorcycles over the years. Last week we featured a 1973 Kawasaki H2 750, a fun (if slightly impractical) bike we've always loved. So, another week, and another Kawasaki, but this time one that's just as happy carving canyons as it is carrying groceries on its handy luggage rack -- a 1981 Kawasaki GPz550.
Sometimes it's good to be practical, logical even. A nice standard style motorcycle, or even a good dual-sport bike, can serve many purposes from commuting to riding curvy roads on a Sunday morning to light touring. A nice two-stroke, 750cc Kawasaki H2, however, isn't really great for any of these purposes. We want one anyway.
If ever a machine was worthy of Under the Radar status, it's the big twin Kawasaki KZ750.
Got the urge for something different? We've always been big fans of Kawasaki's two-stroke triples, and the smaller 400cc S3 is one of the more unusual of the bunch.
In life we're faced with choices: republican or democrat, blond or brunette, paper or plastic? Shopping for a new motorcycle in the early 1980s, you also had to choose between normally aspirated or turbo models.
This week's eBay searching had its highlights, and one of the coolest bikes we came across was this sweet 1978 Kawasaki Z1R.
The editors of Motorcycle Classics spend ten days with a 1975 Kawasaki S3 Mach 2.
Call it the semi-chopper, or maybe the almost-custom. No matter how you slice it, Kawasaki's KZ650SR was, in many respects, little more than a mildly-altered KZ650. And, believe it or not, that's what made it great.
The Kawasaki W2TT Commander helped set the stage for Kawasaki's motorcycle success
The Kawasaki GPz550 set the standard for middleweight sport bikes of the early Eighties
The Kawasaki Z1 was the crown jewel of road bikes
Fast, loud, rude and a little unstable, the Kawasaki H2 Mach IV was a rebel in its time. Today it's a prized motoring heirloom.
A mean machine in its day, the Kawasaki KZ1000R Eddie Lawson Replica is a collectible classic today.

Don't try this condom prank on your girlfriend unless you have a death wish
A BLOKE was seriously playing with fire after pranking his girlfriend in epic fashion.
Youtube star Pretty Boy Fredo decided to play a trick on his girlfriend Jasmine despite her only just moving back in with him following a fight.
And he clearly has a death wish as the prank he pulls is like playing catch with dynamite.
He puts moisturiser in a condom so it looks like it's been used for other purposes and then leaves it in his bedroom for Jasmine to discover when she comes home.
Fred jokes that the prank could push her to her limits, but that doesn't even come close to her reaction.
The poor lass is on crutches as she enters the bedroom and sees the offending contraceptive on the floor.
Unsurprisingly she explodes with anger, demanding whose it was and what it was doing in the bedroom, while Fred tries to play it cool on the sofa.
She finally says, "I'm f****** done with you" and hobbles off.
The jilted babe then starts chucking things around off camera as she still rages, before Fredo enters the room 20 minutes later and sees the damage done to his bedroom.
There's even a hole in the wall.
But eventually he tells her it's a prank and they both laugh – somehow he's avoided being dumped or maimed despite the prank.
It comes as a video emerged showing the British public's brilliant reactions to witnessing a lad getting his iPhone stolen in a social experiment.
And shocking footage has emerged showing the moment an 'undercover police officer' in London stopped a "showgirl" and forced her to strip naked in a packed street.

Scala is known to be a great language for building data-intensive applications. Recently, we built a realtime system consuming the thousands of events created by our X1 set top boxes, aggregating the events, and streaming data over websockets. With the Akka toolkit at its core, I'll introduce how Scala powered realtime viewing metrics that allow for instant feedback into what users are watching at any time. I'll take you through how different data sources are combined, and transformed using composable futures. Finally, I'll show how the Graph DSL provided by the akka-stream is used to create concise stages, and akka-http for simple web services.

Many studies have shown that graduating from high school and receiving a diploma is a good thing, especially from an economic perspective. As jobless rates remain high, Americans who lack a high school diploma suffer from even higher rates of unemployment than those who did graduate.
As of last year, the national unemployment rate was 9.7% (currently at 9.6% officially), and the unemployment rate among adults who lacked a high school diploma was 14.5%. The Employment Policies Institute (EPI) is a nonprofit research organization dedicated to the study of entry-level employment. EPI scholar Michael Saltsman pointed up some sobering facts regarding high school dropouts and their job prospects last year. While analyzing Bureau of Labor Statistics information collected between 1998 and 2007, EPI discovered that jobseekers without a high school diploma spent an average 154 more days unemployed than their counterparts with a diploma. The Institute also discovered that compared to workers with a bachelor's degree, those lacking a high school diploma spent an average 315 additional days unemployed.
A brief glance to the right sidebar of this blog will show that readers here are primarily college- and graduate-school educated, a trend that has remained steady for over 2 years of Quantcast ratings. So, not very many people who failed to graduate from high school are likely to read this blog, and probably even fewer will seek out information prepared by policy research institutes like EPI.
Nationwide, many states, counties and cities are struggling to improve the gaps in education that seem to have grown wider over the past decade. When the national will came to favor universal public education in the 19th Century, and various educational reforms and movements led to much greater school accessibility throughout the 20th Century, nobody could have predicted that although education is accessible to all, free to all, and pretty much mandatory from ages 5-18, voluntary dropout rates of as high as 50% in districts like LAUSD, and other factors such as generational poverty and deteriorated inner-city or rural schools cause circumstances like those found in Yuma County, Arizona, where 27% of adults lack a high school diploma and literacy rates are not good.
Some studies and fact sheets on high school dropout rates include "chicken and egg" information - for example, the correlation between failure to complete high school and incarceration is quite high. However, there is little research to show that one characteristic (dropping out of high school) automatically causes the other (criminal behavior and incarceration).
According to the National High School Center, "Estimates indicate that approximately 30 percent of federal inmates, 40 percent of state prison inmates, and 50 percent of persons on death row are high school noncompleters." Did the inmates turn to crime because they were unable to obtain income through employment, preferably enjoyable and rewarding employment? Or did built-in traits or other concerns (including learning disability - many dropouts have undiagnosed and diagnosed learning disabilities) play a role in co-occurring criminal activity?
People politicize these issues, they use dropouts as weapons to bludgeon others for totally unrelated political or financial gain, and at the same time, dropouts impact virtually every social and public system at the local, state and Federal levels. Failing to graduate from high school will reduce the dropout's potential future earnings by as much as 75% less than those who do graduate. Those who graduate from college will earn much, much more.
As to today's debates about taxation and funding for education, the current dropout rates, regardless of what people believe to have caused them, are costing the public vast sums of money in lost tax revenue. According to the National High School Center, which is a division of the U.S. Department of Education, "America loses more than $26 billion in federal and state income taxes each year from the 23 million high school dropouts aged 18 to 65."
Now, again, I'm the math-usin' English teacher, so - with national dropout rates averaging what they are, I wonder about that 23 million figure. I believe there are more dropouts than that. But then, this type of math thinking is a little bit what's wrong with a few of our Federal and State departments and budgets. Uh Thinking.
What I'm trying to say is, I think that figure is only accounting for estimated taxes that would be received if the dropouts were able to work at full-time jobs paying more than the minimum wage. It's not accounting for the cost of services, funds and goods provided to the dropouts because they cannot easily find reliable, decent-paying employment. One way to parse the professional Educationalese that refers to "single mothers" and "early dropout rates" is - a lot of young women drop out of school because they become pregnant. They become teen mothers, and only a handful nationwide can be on MTV's Teen Mom.
This is the type of talk that this teacher uses to retain students to her classroom. What type of talk and assignments can teachers use to retain students to their high school and middle school classrooms?
Here is my opinion on the "It's the parents' fault that students are performing so poorly these days." Absentee parents, abusive parents, dropout-themselves parents (i.e. - it's only 5 years after "Teen Mom" when teen baby is ready for kindergarten, right?), foster homes, etc. Chicken-egg, chicken-egg. It is the teacher's responsibility to deal with whoever comes into their classroom. They have an education, a job, a classroom and a paycheck and benefits. So, students who have unskilled, unsupportive parents who could be standing in their child's way is a feature of the job these days. It's a part of the landscape. If you don't want to walk on that path, don't put on those shoes and stay indoors . . .
In other words, the students are dropping out of the classroom, and the solutions available to educators should be sought first in the classroom. It's like this: if I decide I want to be a supermodel like Zoolander, and I apply for dozens of agencies and am turned aside because I'm still a dozen pounds overweight and unfortunately really am not 5'6", not to mention I'm a little LONG IN THE TOOTH - is my solution to fix the entire world so that suddenly gnarled little creatures such as myself are the ideal of beauty, or is it to . . . uh . . . I'm just not going to be a supermodel, am I? But what can I do that I can do?
Some students may never be able to complete high school, and may not ever be able to compete in the 21st century economy. But we can and must educate and motivate more students than we're currently reaching. With some Districts experiencing a 50% dropout rate, and with some racial/ethnic communities also experiencing 40- and 50% dropout rates, the issue in my opinion is relevancy and care. Advocates for concepts like "Ebonics" had the right idea when they wanted to make education relevant and useful for students. However, their exclusive focus on unique language that wasn't "portable" to other environments was a hindrance to taking the high relevancy they created and moving into the "useful" category. At the same time, people who insist that "reading, writing and 'rithmatic" are mandatory are also correct.
Because education is about gaining practice, gaining skills and gaining ability and confidence in doing useful things. Work is by definition, doing something of use and benefit - to yourself and others. Therefore, K-12 public education doesn't need to cost less - it is already free to students and parents (I'm putting aside how nearly all schools require parent participation, volunteering and fundraising). It doesn't need to be more "accessible." It needs to be more relevant, and it needs to be unwilling to accept failure. It needs to meet students where they are and help them to move forward, not complain about where it wishes they could be.

Why Nirey Sharpeners?
All knives will go blunt so just as important as the knife you choose, is the method of sharpening.
Nirey offers a range of three electric knife sharpeners. Whether you are a keen amateur or a professional knife user, Nirey Knife Sharpeners have the machine to suit your needs and budget. Nirey Electric Knife Sharpening Machines use aluminium-oxide abrasives. Aluminium-oxide is extremely hard for long lasting qualities. Even more important, it cuts cold meaning that little heat is generated when in contact with the knife steel.
Nothing Sharpens like a Nirey!

A person should be concerned and see a doctor when shortness of breath occurs with other symptoms such as inflammation of the feet, fever, coughs, wheezing or lips or fingers that become blue, relates Mayo Clinic. A person should seek emergency medical attention if shortness of breath is very severe or accompanied bychest pains because this may be a symptom of a heart or lung problem.
A person, who experiences a case of sudden shortness of breath as well as symptoms such as chest pain, feeling faint or a fast heartbeat can be havingeithera heart attack ora pulmonary embolism. A pulmonary embolism can also have symptoms such as coughing up blood. This condition may be difficult to diagnose because other conditions may present similar symptoms, notes eMedicineHealth.
People who have a history of pre-existing shortness of breath that is getting worse should also see a doctor, suggests Mayo Clinic.

Dog walkers — the Superior Police Department wants your help.
A companion program to the city's Citizen Watch group begins this month, aimed at training dog walkers to serve as extra eyes and ears for law enforcement in their neighborhoods.
"It really takes the whole community. To make a good community, a safe community takes everybody's involvement," said Community Service Officer Bonnie Beste. "The police can't be everywhere, and we count on our citizens calling in and letting us know when something is happening."
Enter dog walkers.
There are over 75 million dog owners across the nation, according to the Humane Society of the United States. That's dozens, if not hundreds of people walking their dogs at all times of the day, all days of the week, in all weather conditions.
"There are plenty here too," Beste said. "We see them."
Often, they are preoccupied — talking, texting, listening to music. The police department is asking these dog walkers to step up and stay alert to suspicious activity.
A free Dog Walker Watch training and registration session takes place at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Superior Public Library, 1530 Tower Ave. Participants will receive training on how to observe, identify and report suspicious people, vehicles and activity.
"If we can get more people thinking about those kind of things and calling to report it, or just watching," Beste said, it can lead to a safer community. "If people know you're watching, they'll go away, because they don't want to be caught."
Simply carrying a cell phone along on every walk helps, she said, as suspicious activity can be reported immediately.
Community Service and Humane officer Mandy Hammer will lead the new initiative.
"Having a humane officer involved brings different thoughts and tools to the table as well," Beste said.
Dogs are not allowed at the session, but their owners could score a treat. The first 30 people who register will receive a free travel-sized container of bags for their walks.
Although the department welcomes information from all citizens, they must register to be part of the Dog Walker Watch.
"If people are going to be identifying themselves as part of this watch program, we want to know who they are," Beste said.
For more information or to register, call (715) 395-7280 or email email@example.com.

Stock momentum was to the downside following developments in Cyprus over the weekend. On the S&P 500, losers outpaced winners by about a 4:1 ratio.
Carnival was lower after Moody's cut its outlook on the cruise company to "negative" citing recent malfunctions onboard ships and its potential impact on demand, pricing and reputation.

Bit by bit, I'm leaving my preWindows 2000 network behind. I took a big step forward recently after I realized that my Win2K network was still supporting NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT). Because NetBT is a fairly chatty protocol, I figured that using only DNS would speed up my network. (And it did, quite a bit.) So, I disabled NetBT on my servers and most of my workstations. Here's what I learned.
Disabling NetBT
To disable NetBT manually, right-click My Network Places and choose Properties to display the computer's TCP/IP properties. (You can use DHCP to disable NetBT on a system, but that process requires a fairly lengthy explanation, so I'll leave it for another day.) In the Network and Dial-up Connections window, you'll see an object for each network card on your system. Right-click the network card for which you want to disable NetBT, then choose Properties. On the Properties page, double-click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) object, then click Advanced on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties page. Click the WINS tab, then click the Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP radio button. Clear the Enable LMHOSTS lookup check box, then click OK until you've closed the pages. To verify that you've killed NetBT, you can type
ipconfig /all
on a command line. You'll see a line confirming that NetBT is disabled.
You can disable NetBT on a few systems without affecting your other computers, except of course that those other computers won't be able to use NetBIOS to communicate with the systems on which you've disabled NetBT. After you disable NetBT, you can shut down the Computer Browser service to recover some memory and simplify your system's software. If you don't do so, the Computer Browser service will eventually get tired of not being able to retrieve browse lists and will shut itself down.
Working Without Browsing
Shutting off NetBT greatly reduces the network's browsing functionality because the Computer Browser—the service manifested in Network Neighborhood, My Network Places, and the Net View command—sits atop NetBIOS. A machine on which you've disabled NetBT can't retrieve the workgroup browse list for a Windows NT 4.0 domain, nor can the machine retrieve the list of shares from a pre-Win2K server. And under no circumstances can that system use the Net Use command to access a share on a pre-Win2K server.
But browsing doesn't disappear altogether. You can still browse shares on another Win2K or later system. For example, suppose your workstation is part of an Active Directory (AD) domain named acme.com. If you type any of the following commands:
net view net view /domain:acme.com net view /domain:acme
you'll get the message There are no entries in the list. In other words, the Net View command can't list the servers in the domain. Similarly, if you open My Network Places and navigate to Entire Network, then go to the icon that represents your domain's workgroup, you'll find the list of servers empty. But if you happen to know the name of the Win2K server (the server must be a Win2K server; you can't attach to any shares on a pre-Win2K OS after you turn NetBT off), you can use the Net View command to list its shares without NetBT's help. For example, if you know that acme.com has a server named Bigserver, you can type
net view bigserver.acme.com
to list its shares. Notice that you don't need to type two backslashes (\\) before the server name—the server's DNS name is sufficient.
You can use the Net Use command similarly. For example, a command such as
net use x: \\bigserver.acme .com\share1
accesses the specified share. (Note that Net Use still requires those pesky backslashes.) You can also get to a share by opening Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and typing the share's Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) name in the Address bar—for example, typing \\bigserver.acme.com\share1 in the Address bar opens that share. Alternatively, you can click Start, Run and type the UNC name, or you can simply add \\bigserver.acme.com\share1 to your My Network Places folder. In short, connecting to a share doesn't change when you eliminate NetBT, but finding the share does change.
Browsing the AD Way
Life without a browser doesn't sound very appetizing. Can you bid NetBT adieu and still find network resources? Sure—simply publish them in AD.
You can use AD as a place to list and describe (i.e., publish) all the shares on a domain (and in other domains, for that matter). Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, right-click the icon for the domain or any organizational unit (OU) in the domain, choose New, then select Shared Folder. Type the folder's UNC name and a descriptive name for the shared folder, then click OK. You'll see that the domain now contains a shared-folder icon for the new share. You can open the share's Properties, click Keywords, and type keywords that users can use to search for folders that include those keywords.
When you use the Computer Browser, you poke around in the network's servers to look for a share. But with the AD approach, you don't care which server contains the share you want—rather, you're interested in the share's contents, or at least its name. Suppose you're looking for the share that contains the human resources (HR) forms. You can simply go to My Network Places, but instead of looking into each server to browse its shares, double-click Entire Network, then double-click the Directory icon. You'll see a list of shares, one of which is called HR Forms. You double-click the icon to open the share without knowing—or caring—which server it's on.
Furthermore, you can put a shortcut to that share on your desktop. When you publish shares in AD, shortcuts to those shares have a neat feature: If the shortcut's definition changes in AD—for example, if you move the HR Forms share to a different server—you don't need to change the shortcut. Whenever you click the shortcut, the shortcut goes to AD to determine the actual UNC, then uses it to open the share.
I want to mention one annoying thing about AD-published shares: Before you publish a share in AD, you must create the share in a separate step. Why Win2K servers don't automatically let you publish the share when you create it eludes me, particularly because every shared printer is published by default.
File Sharing Without NetBIOS Ports
What are the implications for firewalls and ports when you do file sharing without using NetBIOS? You can share files over any TCP/IP-based network—including the Internet—without using NetBIOS's infamous ports (i.e., UDP ports 137 and 138, TCP ports 137 and 139). Because Win2K on a NetBT-less network uses DNS to find computers and your network presumably is already using DNS without incident, no port changes are required. But according to the network traces that I saw while connecting to file shares, file sharing without NetBT uses both UDP port 445 and TCP port 445 as its source port.
Logons and Trust Relationships to NT 4.0 Domains
Keep in mind that NetBIOS does more than support browsing. When pre-Win2K systems try to log on a user, they use NetBIOS to find domain controllers (DCs). Thus, if you turn off NetBT on a Win2K system that's a member of an NT 4.0 domain, the Win2K system can't log on to that domain.
However, a Win2K system that tries to log you on to an NT 4.0 domain and fails because of a lack of NetBT support won't tell you that you didn't successfully log on. You can perform a simple exercise to verify that fact. Log on from a Win2K workstation or server that's a member of either an NT or an AD domain. Then, open a command line and type the Set command. You'll see the values of the environment variables on your system. One of the variables is logonserver=some-machine-name, where some-machine-name is the name of the DC that logged you on.
I've found that when I log on to an NT 4.0 domain from a Win2K system and examine the logonserver value, the value names some DC in the NT 4.0 domain, as you'd expect. But if I then disable NetBT, reboot the Win2K system, and log on with my NT 4.0 domain account, the logonserver value names the Win2K system, not a DC. Clearly, the Win2K system used cached credentials to log me on in that situation. In contrast, if I try to log on to the Win2K system with an NT 4.0 domain account that has never before logged on to the NT 4.0 system, I can't log on, and I get a message explaining that the Netlogon service isn't running.
Failed logons affect more than the user who wants to log on to a particular server. Connections between DCs support trust relationships: To facilitate users from the trusted domain logging on to the trusting domain's machines, every NT 4.0 DC from the trusting domain finds and logs on to a DC from the trusted domain. Therefore, if your Win2K AD DCs no longer respond to NetBT requests, those machines can't find and connect to DCs for trusted NT 4.0 domains. The trusts will fail, and both the NT 4.0 and AD DCs' event logs will contain messages stating that the machines couldn't find any DCs to correspond with.
Going NetBT-less is worth considering. At first, the lack of the Computer Browser service was disorienting, but after I published my shares in AD, I didn't miss the browser. And the NetBT-less logons seem considerably faster, although I haven't benchmarked them. If you don't need to communicate with pre-Win2K systems and you don't rely on NetBIOS-based server applications (a big if), disabling NetBT is an interesting way to streamline your network.

SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. (AP) - Military officials have identified the two crew members killed when their North Carolina-based Air Force fighter jet crashed in eastern Afghanistan.
A Department of Defense statement released Sunday identified the two as 27-year-old Capt. Thomas J. Gramith of Eagan, Minn., and 26-year-old Capt. Mark R. McDowell of Colorado Springs, Colo. Both were assigned to the 336th Fighter Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.
The military said an F-15E Strike Eagle crashed around 6:15 p.m. EDT Friday evening in Kabul.
The 336th Fighter Squadron's F-15E Strike Eagle jets and about 300 personnel, including air and ground crews, deployed from the Goldsboro base in April for a four-month tour of duty.

Journalism is an art, and broadcast writing is one of its many forms. But writing a script for television is much different than writing one for an online article or even a newspaper. So when putting a broadcast script together for your audience, you must keep these top 5 tips in mind…
- Short? Simple? Sweet! Being creative and being interesting are great, but you have to keep things as to the point and as concise as you possibly can in a broadcast (time isn't on your side). Grab the audience with a lead-in, and then hit them with the scoop. Sentences go straight to the idea, so if it's not necessary, it's not needed!
- It's a Conversation! Again this writing is heard and not read. Your writing needs to engage your audience on a speech-oriented level. TV writing shouldn't have focus on the writing, but rather on the way that the writing will sound and be understood by an audience.
- Subject, Verb, Object! Let's face it…on-air speech is much clearer and to the point when it is said in an active manner!
- One Sentence, One Idea! The last thing you want is for the audience to struggle to understand your story because you are overloading them with way too much at once. Television again is simple, one idea, one short, concise sentence.
- Attention-getter! The way to lead your audience in during a broadcast is to hit them with a sentence which prepares them for what you are about to say and sets a framework for the remainder of your story. Think of it like a headline!
If these tips are followed, it greatly improves the quality of the broadcast!

Energy Subsidy Reform Assessment Framework (ESRAF)
Energy Subsidy Reform Assessment Framework (ESRAF) is a comprehensive analytical toolkit and assessment framework for helping countries to identify and quantify energy subsidies, understand their impact, and evaluate the enabling environment for reform.
The need for a framework:
Reforming subsidies can be a complex and politically unpopular process. Countries that have embarked on this journey underline the need for understanding the political context of reform, crafting the right energy pricing, designing solutions that mitigate the adverse impacts of reform on affected populations, and engaging with citizens.
What is ESRAF:
- ESRAF is a practical guide to understanding energy subsidy reforms aimed to help developing country governments.
- It aims to promote collaboration of experts and coordination within governments to achieve politically and socially sustainable reforms of energy subsidies. It highlights issues, tools and practices to help identify, analyze and facilitate a comprehensive reform of energy subsidies. It outlines analytical approaches to diagnose the impacts of energy subsidies, including their effect on energy consumption, emissions, and health. It explains how to better understand the political context of reform and how to consult with relevant stakeholders, and communicate the right messages to address concerns. It proposes a checklist to help draft a rapid diagnostic report to aid and guide the reform process.
- As there can be no one-size-fits-all approach, ESRAF does not outline policy recommendations. Specific policies must be designed taking into consideration the specific context of each country, region, and sector.
Hands-on guidance through 10 Notes:
Over the next year, ESRAF is releasing ten guidance notes that will offer detailed explanations on how governments can identify and quantify their energy subsidies, analyze their impacts on households, industry, the economy and the environment. The notes outline the main issues, present essential diagnostic tools, and provide guidance on how to conduct relevant analysis at country level. They also contain specific country experiences from across the world.

The sheer number of stars and planets in the universe make it very likely that conditions favorable to life exist elsewhere. There are billions of stars and hundreds of billions of planets, so it is inconceivable that life would only exist on only one of them. The recent signal observed by SETI could indicate a solar system capable of supporting life.
Though I do believe it possible that life forms exist on other planets, I do believe that we have yet to ascertain if this "life" is anything greater than very basic organic matter. Scientist have yet to discover a climate on another planet suitable for sustaining life to the extent that Earth has. However, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist beyond the reaches of what man as explored in space thus far. It is also possible that some other source of energy or scientific explanation exists regarding the source of the "signal" that SETI discovered. For instance, solar flares from the sun generate enough energy to impact us here on Earth.
Yes, there is life in other planets. Our universe is so vast. There are billions of stars, each one with planets. From a statistical point of view alone, it is likely that life exists in at least one of these other billions of planets. But there are other factors that point to this being plausible.
I am a strong believer in alien life. This doesn't mean I follow the big eye-ed, bulbous head, green creature theory. I do think that to consider life on Earth as the only form of life to exist in the universe terribly egocentric and a bit idiotic. This life may exist in some sort of sentient life or it could simply be at the plant and smaller forms right now. I do hope one day that we find some form of other life in the universe and a larger part of me hopes I will be alive to see that, but, realistically, that is unlikely to happen in my lifetime.

How To Get Free Used Mobile Home Values
With the current state of today's real estate market, you're probably wondering how much your manufactured house is worth. As homeowners in every major city are scrambling to protect their largest investment (or sometimes, simply selling it while they can), it's natural to question your own home's valuation.
If you're not planning to sell your house in the near future, there's little need to be concerned. However, if you've been thinking of moving or you're simply curious about the resale value of your mobile home, you should use an online service that provides free used mobile home values. Below, we'll describe a few different ways you can get an idea about your factory-built home's current worth.
Keep Your Eye On The Market
One of the easiest ways to track the relative worth of your mobile home is to periodically check the advertisements in your local newspaper. Once a week, take a quick look at the number of homes that are listed and the prices being asked. Each time you check, take a mental note of how long those homes have been listed. If you see the same houses week and week with prices that are slowly being reduced, it could imply a soft real estate market and lower values overall.
Attend Local Open Houses
Whenever you see open houses of local manufactured homes, try to attend. You'll get a glimpse of any upgrades or renovations that have been made. Is there a new refrigerator? Has the bathroom been modernized with new fixtures or a fiberglass tub? Was a new air conditioning unit recently installed? These upgrades may be boosting the value of that home. You can use this information to make a reasonable guess regarding the value of your own mobile home.
Talk To Local Real Estate Agents
Real estate agents live and breath in the housing market. So, they usually have their finger on the pulse of local real estate. They can offer insight regarding whether the local market is depressed or if demand is outstripping supply (creating a surge in home values). Ask them about mobile homes in your area. Even if they don't spend much time brokering deals on factory-built homes, they'll likely have a good idea regarding the market's direction.
Request A Book Value Online
Most owners of manufactured houses don't realize they can request their home's blue book value online. These services are often free and only require a few minutes to provide some details regarding your home. While an appraisal will probably be required in the event that you sell it, the book value will give you a reasonably-accurate valuation based upon your home's size, location, age and other factors. Once you receive your free mobile home valuation, you can compare it with the prices of other homes listed in your local area.
