The other day I headed into the store to buy ingredients to make pesto. Basil, garlic and pine nuts. I grabbed all 3 and headed to the register. The cashier looked at me and said, "You know these are $19.99 right?" I looked down at the puny little bag of organic pine nuts. No way am I paying $19.99 for that. "I'll just go grab the non-organic kind, that's fine," I decided. She smiled. "Those are $17.99."
What is going on here!? Are pine nuts an endangered species? Am I just late to the party? Have pine nuts always been like this?
This is how small the bag was. 6 oz! Anyway, I did a quick mental scan of my cabinets at home. Did I have anything I could sub in for pine nuts? Hmm…what about pumpkin seeds? I had a bag of them already at home. It could work! I said sayonara to the pine nuts (are they made of gold? I don't get it) and headed home to experiment. Luckily, I was happily surprised at the awesomeness of pumpkin seed pesto! The pumpkin seeds gave the pesto a unique crunch and nutty flavor, which went perfectly when mixed with my mind-blowing tomato sauce.
Super easy to make, too:
- 1 large bunch of basil leaves, washed/dried
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 handful pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- A few glugs of extra-virgin olive oil
Chop up the basil finely. Add the garlic and chop chop chop some more.
Next, add your pumpkin seeds and keep on chopping!
Chop until all ingredients are blended pretty finely.
Transfer the pesto to a bowl and add a few glugs of olive oil. Mix together. Enjoy with your favorite whole grain bread, pasta, vegetables, or whatever your pesto-loving heart desires. Absolute deliciousness, no pine nuts required. :)

Nick Cannon reveals cause of recent health scare
America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon visited ABC's "Good Morning America", revealing the cause of the multiple hospitalizations he has faced since the top of the year.
Cannon who recently resigned from his morning radio show in February, citing health concerns spoke of his rare auto-immune condition and the changes he has been making since finding out what has been happening to him.
"The technical term is lupus nephritis," he explained. "It's a rare form of lupus that's just attacking my kidneys. They thought it was just kidney disease and then they were trying to figure out why my immune system was attacking my kidneys and that was sort of the root of it all."
Cannon revealed that he was surprised by the diagnosis, especially since he was initially diagnosed with kidney failure while on a family vacation with his wife Mariah Carey and their twins Moroccan and Monroe.
Lupus is unique to it's carrier, meaning that no two cases are alike, which makes it all the much harder to find a cure.
Did you know that African American women are up to three times as likely as white women to get lupus? However, Lupus does not discriminate, people of all ethnicities and races.
African American women tend to develop lupus at a younger age and have more severe symptoms than white women.
Fans of songstress Toni Braxton, who follow her show Braxton Family Values that airs on WeTV, have become well aware of her battle with Lupus over the last few seasons.
We wish Nick Cannon the best of luck!

I first heard Netherfriends about a year ago. Their debut EP, Calling You Out, opens with "Friends With Lofts," an insanely catchy track attacking the independent scene as a whole:
I'm too cool to nod my head
to the rhythm of a seventies post-punk band
that played at my friend's loft
we got way too drunk
we forgot the band's name by the end of it all
With lyrics like these, other bands would come off as insipid or oblivious; Netherfriends has no trouble pulling it off. It is, perhaps, the perfect opener for a work by a band that isn't regressing into "blog popularity." The rest of the album bolsters this message beautifully; sonically, most newer psych-pop bands cannot touch the flawless execution of Calling You Out.
In late June, Netherfriends self-released a new album, Barry and Sherry. The LP demonstrates a serious growth in a band which I thought had no room to improve. Tracks are fuller and better realized while maintaining the catchy sound previously exampled. Band leader Shawn Rosenblatt touches upon personal experiences and family life while meditating upon the eccentricities of life, both lyrically and musically. Standouts like "Lead You Through the Misty Fog of Milwaukee Avenue" and "Brett Easton Ellis Novel" explode and regress in the most unexpected and beautiful ways, changing keys to suit subtle emotions, flying from one sound to another. Netherfriends are perhaps one of the best bands untouched by the media right now, and Barry and Sherry, if nothing else, should propel them to greater attention. I spoke briefly with Rosenblatt about the new album and Netherfriends' upcoming performance at Pitchfork.
NETHERFRIENDS: Neo-psychedelic Mid-fi Pop music.
NETHERFRIENDS: 3 is usually the limit. Sometimes I play solo and I will loop beat boxing and harmonies and other times I play with just a drummer and try to be as loud as I possibly can.
SICK OF THE RADIO: How often are you compared to Animal Collective? I showed you to one of my friends and that was their first comment without hesitation.
NETHERFRIENDS: Who's Animal Collective? I guess I get compared in every review and interview, but it's never negative which is a good thing. I really like Animal Collective and I feel like they are the biggest band doing the psych pop thing today, so it is understandable that they will be the first band used to compare anything similar. Though, there are some bands out there today that really truly rip off the sound and technique and they are somehow being rewarded for it. NOT COOL. I sometimes wonder how many bands in the 60′s got compared to the Beach Boys or the Beatles.
SICK OF THE RADIO: You guys are set to open on Saturday at Pitchfork. I think, largely, it's a celebration of the independent music scene, but many of the smaller acts are rooted in Chicago. How do you feel about the Chicago scene right now? Are there any other acts you are really into?
NETHERFRIENDS: I enjoy Chicago music, but when I first started playing I knew way too many bands in Chicago that never left Chicago. In my own narcissistic mind, I feel like since I started touring full time, I think I might have persuaded a few bands to hit the road… probably not. I am really digging the Kilo records bands, Hollows, Loneliest Monk, Loyal Divide, and Stephen Paul Smoker. I feel like they have a good thing going in Chicago.
NETHERFRIENDS: Why?, Big Boi, Cass Mccombs, and Major Lazer.
SICK OF THE RADIO: The new album has a fuller sound compared to Calling You Out. How was the recording process different?
NETHERFRIENDS: I went to my girlfriend's parent's house in Minnesota to record the new album. They were moved out and had it on the market for sale. I wrote and recorded the first 10 songs that came to my head and spent 7 days there. I guess it was a similar process from previous recordings… I just think I got a little better at recording. I also had a friend help with suggestions on mixes.
SICK OF THE RADIO: You guys use samples to great effect. It almost seems like they are really catered to the individual track. Do you ever build your songs around them?
NETHERFRIENDS: Almost all the samples are actually used from the recordings on the songs. I will process tracks from the song and put effects on them. Songs almost always start on piano or guitar as a simple song and then alter them after that. All drums on the new record were added last, which was not by choice.
NETHERFRIENDS: Barry and Sherry was an album unintentionally about turning into my parents. I tend to either write about other people or write about myself. I very rarely write fiction.
SICK OF THE RADIO: What is your favorite Brett Easton Ellis novel?
NETHERFRIENDS: I like The Informers a lot. That's partly where I got the idea for the song.
NETHERFRIENDS: Well, he was planning on albums. I am doing songs. I know it's not that different, but it is. It's a lot easier. I already have 20 songs done. No plans on bragging.
SICK OF THE RADIO: If you had unlimited funds to design costumes for the band to wear on stage, how would they look?
NETHERFRIENDS: Costumes are lame. Unlimited funds would be put towards better equipment.
Check out Netherfriends at the Pitchfork Music Festival or on tour this summer.

The Relation Between Auditor's Fees for Non-audit Services and Earnings Quality
We examine the association between the provision of non-audit services and earnings quality. Because of concerns regarding the effect of non-audit services on financial reporting credibility, the Securities and Exchange Commission recently issued revised auditor independence rules requiring firms to disclose in their annual proxy statement the amount of fees paid to auditors for audit and non-audit services. Using data collected from proxy statements filed between February 5, 2001 and June 15, 2001, we present evidence that firms purchasing more non-audit services from their auditor are more likely to just meet or beat analysts' forecasts and to report larger absolute discretionary accruals. However, the purchase of non-audit services is not associated with meeting other earnings benchmarks. We also find that the unexpected component of the non-audit to total fee ratio is negatively associated with stock returns on the filing date. These results are consistent with arguments that the provision of non-audit services strengthens an auditor's economic bond with the client and that investors price this effect.

Good nutrition is an significant part of leading a wholesome lifestyle. But can medications help us? Generally the medicines you searched for can more than one listing. Many listings, which are compiled by generic name indicate a medicament is available in more than one dose or in variant forms, such as liquid. Today there are various medicines to treat dementia, anxiety disorder or adrenal insufficiency. For instance you can purchase antibiotics that fights infection caused by bacteria. This type of drugs will not treat some infection for instance a common flu. Typically, if you have lost the beauty to your partner, remedies like Viagra to improve potency is unlikely to help him back. If you're concerned about sexual soundness problem, you perhaps already know about cialis for daily use dosage. Apparently every adult knows about cialis dosage 40 mg. Without fail, for a lot of men, bringing up the problem in the first place is the toughest step. Sexual health dysfunction can commonly indicate health problems elsewhere. Occasionally kidney disease can cause to erectile dysfunction. Maybe you already know that any medicament has side effects. What should I ask a health care professional before purchasing Cialis? Tell your pharmacist if you are taking any other medications. However, the most deciding aspect that is considered while ordering medicines online is to make a right choice.

The widely-held vision of Neanderthals as brutes may need a stark rethink after research found they crafted the world's earliest jewellery from eagle talons 130,000 years ago, long before modern humans appeared in Europe.
"While reviewing eight, white-tailed eagle talons and an associated phalanx, on the latter I noticed numerous cut marks and a revelation just struck me—they were made by a human hand," Davorka Radovcic, a curator at Croatia's Natural History Museum, told AFP. The revelation came in late 2013 while reviewing the Krapina Neanderthal collection she had just taken over, items from a site once inhabited by the extinct people in what is modern-day Croatia. "I knew immediately what might be the implication of that finding," said the anthropologist, carefully holding one of the talons that are kept in a small box.
An international study began with the research published earlier this month by the PLOS peer-reviewed international online scientific publication. The Krapina site, some 50 kilometres (31 miles) north of Zagreb, has yielded the world's richest collection of Neanderthal fossils. The site containing the remains of some 80 individuals, and including the talons, was discovered in 1899 by Croatian palaeontologist Dragutin Gorjanovic-Kramberger. But it took 115 years to establish that the talons and phalanx at the Zagreb museum were jewellery, and therefore used for a symbolic purpose. Via Neanderthals shape up as globe's first jewellers.

One of our recent clients were launching a brand new website and a matching Facebook business page to go along with it. With a very small budget to work with we came up with a few ideas that we all agreed should work for a test. Then we narrowed it down to ONE ad promoting a blog post on their new website. It was about a current event that was happening that week. We made sure to ask a question and target users who we felt would be passionate enough to comment, share, and interact.
We were right! As you can see in the photo above it went extremely well. Over 5000 users reached. Over 400 interactions right on Facebook, including 55 Facebook page likes.
They were even able to get 5 email subscribers on their website from the Facebook referral traffic.
All that for $20.92.

In your case, you already have a Win2000 network set up for your small business. You could install an AP on the same Ethernet as your Windows Server(s), and directly connect Win2000 Pro Clients to that AP.

Extract the "Real-Time" Info with the "Real-Time" GPS Tracker!
GPS or Global Positioning System technology has adhered with the technological aspects for many years. Long ago, it all had initiated in the 1940s. The difference is all about the features. Just newer facets have added to it as the time crawls. But, the core "crux" still remains intact. The GPS trackers were and are used to track the real-time location of an object or an entity. It may be possible that the upcoming future will bring some pioneering attributes that will amaze the entire world. But, it's all unpredictable. We just wait and watch! (Fingers crossed)
Well! It is not wrong to say that GPS tracking system holds an imperative place in the present scenario also. Even, now, it has embedded with many innovative quirks that will make it a fruitful feature for monitoring alive or lifeless object.
Don't be gaped!
When it comes to the technology, then it has no barriers. And, the same principle will apply to the tracking unit. As the word technology is linked with the tracking system, it has also incorporated with various effective attributes. As an illustration- in the former time span, you can locate a person only through his/her mobile. But, the present epoch says something quite outstanding. The GPS tracker can monitor a person and a vehicle distinctly. It has become feasible through the personal trackers and vehicle trackers.
To summarize, GPS tracking device is a tremendous invention of the technology. More deeply, it can be classified into two categories:
- Active GPS Tracker
- Passive GPS Tracker
Let us study them in detail…
Difference between Active and Passive GPS Tracker
The fundamental difference is the "real-time" facet. Active GPS tracker tracks the real-time movement of an entity. Even, you can watch the current activity in a computer system also. The basic note behind this device is that GPRS module is inbuilt, which allows the device to transmit the current & exact data and info to the person directly. And, an individual at an another end will be able to observe the movements, provided the internet connection is available.
Yes, it is the technology that has brought the major transformations in the GPS tracking unit. Now, you can simply view the location, speed, and other details of that entity. Sounds interesting! Although, it is more expensive than the passive, but it is worth its price. What else you want when you are getting the notification and the video of a live activity?
It's APPLICATIONS:
- Elderly Persons:
It happens that an old-aged person wants an absolute liberty. He/she also loves to wander at his/her own terms. But, it is obvious that loved ones care about them. In such circumstances, you can have a hawk's eye on that person whenever you want using the active GPS device.
- Young Children:
You can't keep the kids in a cage. Their age is to fly freely. So, using this tracker, you will have the info about him/her and ensure that your child will be safe within that perimeter.
- Teenage Drivers:
The teenagers love driving the vehicle. And, unfortunately, if they will be trapped in some complicated situation, then using this tracking unit, you can easily reach your kid. Along with that, you can also track the footsteps in other situations also.
- A Dementia Sufferer:
Dementia is actually a chain of symptoms that are linked with the slow memory loss. So, if any individual, having Dementia, steps out of the home, then you can easily audit his/her motion of activity.
Basically, the passive GPS tracking device doesn't monitor the real-time steps. It will function with the same degree and the speed, but instead of sending the signals directly to the person, it will save the data in a separate data logger. Yes, you can retrieve this info latter and send to a dedicated computer system or an online cloud-based network. In other words, the passive GPS trackers "record" the movement and then view it later.
Without any uncertainty, it is also a significant device of the current technological era. Moreover, it is also an efficient option when you have to invest less money. Wait! It's the best to note is yet to discuss. It requires no installation costs.
It's APPLICATIONS:
- Sports Enthusiasts:
The joggers and the mountain climbers use the passive GPS tracking unit to check the distance they have covered. As this tracker records the movements, so they can easily utilize during their morning walks.
- Teenagers:
Parents use the passive tracker to note the footsteps of their child while they are on a hangout with friends. The teenagers are naughty and they can double-cross their parents. Therefore, a parent can easily make use of this device to record the activity.
- Fleet Companies:
The fleet managers and the company owner can put their eyes on the drivers and evaluate the route or the distance they have covered. It will allow them to catch the adverse behavior or activity of the driver.
The Bottom Line
Now, it is up to you. What do you want to purchase- An Active or Passive GPS Tracker? Palpate your needs and then pick the most suitable one.

text: I thought I'd ask you veteran difficult child parents what you thought of this behavior my grandson exhibits. This is part of an email that I got from his pre-k teacher this afternoon. We see similar behaviors at home and wondered how you all would classify this. I find it really "interesting" how a just turned 5 yr. old, holds a grudge and acts on it later. ...he was at centers. He was caught throwing some materials and was NOT going to move his clip (until I counted to 10 and even then he was pushing back). Then he dumped out a bowl of dried pasta (because he was still mad...we made him pick it up). At lunch, Tina said he dropped his lunch tray--she said it seemed to be ON PURPOSE (can you get over it?) He had to sit by himself and was angry at us. My note.... yes, he will drop food or spill drinks ON PURPOSE if you make him angry. Grrrr. ************* This morning his bus did not pick him up, so I took him to school. When I dropped him off and he had gotten out of the car, I said "have a good day!", my window was down and I heard him say when he got to the door, under his breath, "have a bad day" and then looked at me. Today was actually a good morning, and nothing negative went on as it almost always does. In fact, I had just finished whistling Skitta-marink-a-dink-a-dink to him and he was impressed, or at least he led me to believe he was. He couldn't believe I could whistle! *********************** The other day, I noticed a dark bruise on him and I asked him what happened. In a very monotone voice, looking straight ahead, not at me, he said "don't worry about it, I'm not dead." Okay........ What do you all think?

GPS data about an alleged drug dealer's location obtained from a GPS device attached to his car without a warrant, violated the defendant's Fourth Amendme
nt guarantee of privacy. In US v. Jones the US Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that prosecutors could not use the ill-gotten GPS data. However the Court, in its opinion, included a broader reference to GPS data from wireless devices:
... cell phones and other wireless devices now permit wireless carriers to track and record the location of users—and as of June 2011, it has been reported, there were more than 322 million wireless devices in use in the United States.
So even though the Court ruled against using location data obtained without a warrant in a criminal case, it also effectively acknowledged that wireless GPS data may be the next area of privacy concern.
However when parties voluntarily provide information to Internet sites, their expectation of privacy is different. As Justice Sotomayor stated:
People disclose the phone numbers that they dial or text to their cellular providers, the URLS that they visit and the e-mail addresses with which they correspond to their Internet service providers, and the books, groceries and medications they purchase to online retailers . . . I for one doubt that people would accept without complaint the warrantless disclosure to the Government of a list of every Web site they had visited in the last week, or month, or year.
So the Supreme Court likely has more to say about privacy protection as it relates to GPS and Internet data.

Flood Tears Pakistan Apart
Currently, in Pakistan, reports have it that at least 50 persons and about 140 homes are currently destroyed in the country due to the rain that began on Saturday night sweeping humans and infrastructures off the streets of the country.
Flood Tears Pakistan Apart
The rain led to a heavy downpour in some parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan provinces, where the devastation had a great effect.
Officials have however, gone as far as rescuing the injured victims whose homes and properties were destroyed.
The Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif "expressed deep grief and sorrow over the loss of precious human lives due to the floods,"

We have a strange situation. The news has been overrun by comedians. John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher, John Oliver, Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee…. A lot of people are relying on comedians for their news, despite the comedians repeatedly saying "We don't do news!" The term "comedic journalism" has even been invented to explain this apparently new phenomena: comedians doing news.
Why do the comedians keep resisting the label of journalism when they look suspiciously like they are doing journalism? The answer is simple.
It's not journalism.
It's satire.
Close, but different.
All the claims of journalism, comedic journalism, or something new going on here are missing the mark. The current popularity of John Oliver or the Daily Show might be new, but satire is old. Very old. And it's not journalism.
Imagine a cliché ye olde King's court.
On one side of the throne is the herald. On the other side is the jester. The herald reads the news. The jester makes fun of it. The herald tells things as they are supposed to be. The jester tells things as they are not supposed to be. The herald proclaims the latest victory in battle. The jester points out that it was such a great victory that even the enemy is celebrating.
Satire isn't like other forms of comedy, which is why people keep confusing it for journalism. Satire is about the real world. Satire is always, deep down, serious stuff. Humor isn't even in the definition. Satire is a form of social investigation, a probing, a prodding, a pulling at the threads, trying to figure out what's really going on underneath. Satire exposes our illusions, and cuts quick to the heart of how society really works. Satire baits the powerful into exposing their own absurdity, like when Bill Maher made a joke about Donald Trump, and Trump sued him. The issue at stake: was Trump's father an orang-utan? Trump says no.
Satire can even tell the future:
Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over'
January 17, 2001 – The Onion
September 11, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the financial crash hadn't even happened yet. That's the power of satire.
In contrast, journalism's job is to report what happened. Simply. Objectively. Dispassionately. This can involve speaking truth to power, and it can involve reinforcing power. Satire, however, is always on the attack.
The herald and the jester might occasionally agree, but their jobs are very different. So why are people turning away from the herald, and towards the jester? The circumstances that would cause that to happen are not hard to figure out: people will prefer the jester when the herald's truth sounds like bullshit, and the jester's bullshit sounds like truth.
The heralds these days must have been speaking a lot of bullshit.
Deeper Down the Rabbit hole:
Watch John Oliver denying the repeated allegations of journalism. Here.
The Onion's 2001 mock article on George Bush. Here.
Watch Bill Maher discussing his lawsuit with Trump. Here.

A two-sided matching model of monitored finance
We analyse a model of two-sided matching and incentive contracts where expert investors (venture capitalists) with different monitoring capacities are matched with firms with different levels of initial wealth. Firms do not have sufficient start-up capital to cover their project costs and hence, seek external financing. In equilibrium, the matching and the payoffs of the venture capitalists and the firms are determined simultaneously. More effective VCs and higher-wealth firms consume higher payoffs. We also show that, in equilibrium VCs with higher monitoring ability invest in firms with lower initial wealth following a negatively assortative matching pattern.

Re: Energy Receipts Restoration Press Conference Update
Dear Mayor:
Our bipartisan efforts to educate the press and the public on the State's long-standing reliance on municipal revenues to balance its budget; and the impact that those diversions have had on property taxes continue.
As reported in yesterday's letter (http://www.njslom.org/letters/2012-0417-mayors.html), Mayors from all around the State participated in a Press Conference and a Mayors' Roundtable in Trenton.
League President, Mayor Art Ondish of Mount Arlington, opened the Press Conference by thanking Governor Christie and Legislative leaders for all the reforms that have been put in place over the past two years, which will rein in some of the major municipal cost drivers. "What we ask of them this year will take similar discipline," Mayor Ondish concluded. "This year, we want them to begin to end the State's chronic dependence on local revenues to balance its budget."
The leader of the League's bipartisan effort to restore these revenues to local purposes - our First Vice-President and the Chairperson of our Energy Tax Receipts Restoration Task Force, Mayor Janice Mironov of East Windsor - stated, ""This is a huge issue for towns. This needs to be everyone's top priority."
Mayor Mironov explained to the Press, "Municipalities are the collection agency for property taxes for the schools, counties and special districts as well as municipal governments. Can you imagine the outcry if a municipal government said to the school district, "since we are having a tough year, we are withholding from you $1 million of 'your' tax money and you will just have to make due." How are the state's actions any different or any more defensible?"
Citing the Statewide tax relief funding cuts of $32 million in 2008, $26 million in 2009 and $271 million in 2010, Mayor Mironov explained that East Windsor property taxes are higher now, despite the fact that East Windsor is spending less. The State's diversion of tax relief funding has overwhelmed local efforts to reduce property taxes. Restoration of the $2.8 million denied East Windsor taxpayers in 2012 would reduce the local purposes tax rate by about 10 cents, or about 25% on the rate of $.41.
Representing Mayor John Bencivengo, who also serves as Vice-Chair of our Restoration Task Force, Hamilton Township's Chief Financial Officer John Barrett echoed that concern. Mayor Bencivengo's statement noted, "In 2010, our taxpayers saw nearly $5 million in this revenue diverted, or skimmed, from their local budget. … $5 million equals approximately 10 cents on our 2012 proposed municipal tax rate, which is $1.20 per $100 of assessed value. This year, even though our township's overall budget will be several hundred thousand dollars below our town's 2010 budget, our tax rate is increasing by 2 cents. In other words, it means although our taxpayers' local budget is spending less, taxes are increasing – and the clear culprit is the continuing loss of Energy Receipts and CMPTRA revenue."
Mayor Colleen Mahr of Fanwood Borough, who Chair's the NJ Conference of Mayors Legislative Committee, said $2.1 million has been withheld from her town during her nine years in office. "The appetite to balance the state's budget literally on the backs of taxpayers is out of control," said Mayor Mahr.
Mayor Steve Acropolis of Brick Township said his city has lost $10 million since 2010 because of the state's practice of diverting the funds. Noting the State's ability to ignore the permanent statute, and deny inflation adjustments to the Energy Tax and CMPTRA, Mayor Acropolis said, "Just because a government entity can do something doesn't mean it's fair." At issue, said Mayor Acropolis, is " … fundamental fairness. This is not the state of New Jersey's money."
We thank all of those Mayors, as well as the others who joined us at the Press Conference, to stand up for their property taxpayers and to answer questions from the media. They are Mayor Sophie Heymann of Closter, Mayor Janice Kovach of Clinton Town, Mayor Toni Ricigliano of Edison, Mayor Bill Budesheim of Riverdale, League Immediate Past President Committeeman Chuck Chiarello of Buena Vista, Deputy Mayor Paul Hodson of Egg Harbor Township, Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh of West Windsor, Deputy Mayor and League Board Member Richard Mach of Blairstown, Mayor Paul Medany of Deptford, Councilman Greg Puliti of Lawrence, Mayor, League Board Member and President of the New Jersey Urban Mayors Association Wayne Smith of Irvington, Mayor Cyril Wekilsky of Boonton Town and Mayor Harry L. Wyant, Jr. of Phillipsburg. Joining them were Hardyston Township Manager Marianne Smith, Branchburg Administrator Greg Bonin, Lawrence Manager Richard Krawczun, Egg Harbor Township Administrator Peter Miller and Wharton Administrator Jon Rheinhardt.
Following the Press Conference, eight local leaders were invited to participate in a Mayors' Roundtable, along with the Members of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee. On behalf of all who participated, and on behalf of their colleagues around the State, we want to thank Committee Chairman Paul Sarlo and all members of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee for scheduling this Mayors Roundtable. It was a great opportunity for representatives from both levels of government to exchange ideas in a bipartisan atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation.
Our representatives were Mayors Sophie Heymann, Janice Mironov, Rob Campbell (of Downe Township), Committeeman Chuck Chiarello, Mayors Paul Medany, Art Ondish, Wayne Smith and Joe Venezia (of Estelle Manor).
A full range of topics were discussed, including payments in lieu of taxes on State owned properties, Urban Enterprise Zone funding, Workers' Comp and Tort reform, Mandates relief, and consideration of the costs that could be caused by Open Public Records and Open Public Meetings Act reforms. But, by far, the greatest concern of the Mayors participating in the Roundtable remains restoration of promised property tax relief funding.
Earlier on Tuesday, an op-ed by League Executive Board Member, Mayor Jim Cassella of East Rutherford, had appeared in the Bergen Record. In that essay, Mayor Cassella comments on the Energy Tax skim. We have posted that on our website at http://www.njslom.org/letters/2012-0412-hypocrisy.html.
Please continue to work together on the issue. You are making a difference in Trenton. Thank you for that. If you have any questions or need additional information please contact Jon Moran at 609-695-3481 x121 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Very truly yours,
William G. Dressel, Jr.
Executive Director

NBA roundup: Haywood did not make Hall of Fame after all
Spencer Haywood was told last week he had made it into the basketball Hall of Fame, and several media outlets reported Haywood had made it.
However, Haywood was later told he had been misinformed and that he did not make the cut for inclusion in the Hall of Fame.
The official announcement of those who made it to the Hall of Fame will be made Monday in Atlanta, but apparently Haywood will not be among them
He was upset about the misunderstanding.
"I don't know why there was confusion," Haywood told the Las Vegas Review Journal. "Someone from the NBA told me I was in, then I found out Friday night that I wasn't in.
"This is so embarrassing. My stomach has been so bad I can't eat, I can't sleep. This isn't a punch in the stomach. It's below the stomach."
---The Golden State Warriors signed guard Scott Machado to a 10-day contract.
Machado, 22, was acquired by the Santa Cruz Warriors - Golden State's Development League affiliate - from Rio Grande Valley on March 8.
---With the clock ticking down in the NBA regular season, Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose remains noncommittal about his return.
Before the Bulls' shootaround Sunday prior to their game against Detroit, Rose continued to say he's not sure when he'll play again. But he isn't ruling out playing yet this year.

The internal 'discussion' was never meant to become public, certainly not prematurely, and has evoked outrage from Immigration restrictionists and those opposed to any reform until the borders are closed and "sealedâ€. Many would like to see the 12+ million here illegally deported before any 'reform' takes place.
Of course, that day will never realistically come; any more than Israel, to use a good example, can truly stop suicide bombers from entering their country.
Yes, we can do a better job, but sealing the border means turning off the magnet, the lure that brings economic migrants, or drugs to users, to this side of the border.
Here are my thoughts about a comprehensive solution:
• Having a National Work or Identity Card. Essentially a 'smart card' issued to U.S. citizen and legal and undocumented immigrants (as well as future visitors).
• A guest worker program
• An immigration system that grants 'green card' status quickly to those we want to attract on the employment and investment/entrepreneurial side; on the family side, the issue is a system that brings families together promptly without year after year of waiting time.
• Employer sanctions – severe penalties and even jail time for hiring illegal aliens once a system is established; of course, with a guest worker program and more efficient immigration, employers won't be desperate to look for undocumented workers.
• Document those that are illegally living here but who are otherwise obeying the law. These individuals must arrange to pay all back taxes owed (penalties waived), learn English, be gainfully employed, no welfare or public assistance to any family members for 10 years, and must find a way to immigrate within 10 years; if one has a relative who has or will be eligible to file a petition, the 10 year requirement will be lifted (until permanent residency is granted). But everyone will be at the end of the line, if they can get in line, regardless. This is not 'amnesty'.
• The period of time or window to 'register' for the above will be determined by Congress, with a proof of residence requirement as of the day of Enactment.
• Criminal aliens will undoubtedly not 'register' and will be isolated, detected by authorities in due course and removed (with or without family members).
• For those individuals who try to register under the law who are not eligible, i.e., they came to the country post enactment, they will be fingerprinted and have a permanent bar to future immigration, or any of the newly enacted programs, including the guest worker program.
MENTIONED IN THE 'LEAKED' MEMO: A PIECEMEAL SOLUTION AT BEST
• Work Permits for some non-immigrant dependents
• Expand 'dual intent', useful for TN visa holders
• Create a grace period for non-immigrants when one loses or leaves a jobs
• Eliminate unlawful presence bar (3/10 years) for adjustment of status applicants – allowing one to travel freely while case is pending
• Expand premium processing to all cases
• Change the eb5 program to become more expansive
• Automatic extension of work authorization when an extension is filed
• Use of 'deferred action' to give relief to those here illegally

Following a two-year mission to Puerto Rico, Matt enrolled at BYU and took several tests to determine what careers best fit his personality. These tests suggested that Matt had two aptitudes, law and education. While Matt initially started on the path to education, several experiences, including an enlightening foray into a Philosophy minor, led Matt to the conclusion that he would be much happier studying law.
Following his graduation from BYU Matt enrolled at U.C. Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, California. Living and studying in San Francisco gave Matt much more than a legal education. While studying at U.C. Hastings Matt had the opportunity to participate in the Marshall Brennan Program, teaching constitutional law once a week in an inner city history class, to intern for the Marin County Public Defender's Office, and to work as a law clerk for a class-action oriented employment law firm. From these experiences, Matt gained an increased desire to give back to the community and a first glimpse at the importance of Plaintiff's attorneys in employment matters.
While Matt's first involvement in employment law came during law school, Matt's history with employment matters goes much further back. Matt first encountered employment at the age of fourteen, when he worked cleaning an elementary school two hours a day. Since that time Matt has worked in various fields as both an employee and supervisor, giving him insight into many different types of work including: serving, maintenance, furniture, office work, telemarketing, management, and most importantly, Hot Dog On a Stick, when he worked at the now non-existent Cottonwood Mall location in Holladay, Utah. All joking aside, Matt truly feels that these opportunities allowed him to experience employment in many different situations and fields and gave him insight into the importance that every employee places on their job, and the frustration occurs when a person is treated unfairly or discriminated against.
While Matt loved his time in San Francisco, after graduation he felt the intermountain west calling him home and he returned to Utah, happy to be away from the traffic and summer fog of the bay area.
While waiting to hear the results of the bar exam in Utah, Matt had the opportunity to work as a law clerk and then as a contract attorney for Strindberg & Scholnick. Matt later worked for a law firm that specializes in employment litigation and had the opportunity to participate in several trials during that time. However, when the opportunity to return to Strindberg & Scholnick presented itself, Matt jumped at the opportunity to return to work with so many lawyers and staff who show every day their passion for justice and a true dedication for helping employees. In addition to working, Matt enjoys the finer things in life like snowboarding, biking, poetry and sampling every burger in the great state of Utah.

Build Day #2 - putting up some drywall
Lynchburg Travel Blog› entry 10 of 70 › view all entries
May 22nd, 2008 – by: smhirsch
Today was our second build day and it was much different than the one we had in Suffolk. Today, we were all at the same site, and we had our first experience working with Habitat for Humanity on the trip.
At the build site, we walked into a house that was all framing on the inside and were told our job was to drywall at least half of it (walls and ceiling). I had a lot of fun using saws, power drills, really strong glues, etc. After the first half hour or so, we all pretty much had the idea of how drywalling worked, and we just did it. I think we got around 75% of the house done.
One thing from today that kinda aggravates me is that there was this Americorps volunteer working at the build site who was one of the dumbest people I have ever met. I mean, it's May already...she's been working here since September or October at least, and she literally had no idea what she was doing. She managed to miss cut holes for outlets in a piece of drywall so badly that we had to scrap the whole piece and start over again...which we did while she went to find one of the supervisors. By the time she got back, we had it up on the wall with the outlets cut out perfectly...haha. Even Kevin (who wrote "Gateraide" on one of the Gatorade coolers this morning) thinks the girl is an idiot...which she is. Where on earth did they find her???
Showers were at a YMCA but were not communal which was awesome.
We had our first Bike & Build community presentation today after dinner that was provided by the temple. It went pretty well. Oh! Also, at the build site, a news crew came and took pictures, intereviewed a few people, and took some video clips. Janina and Andrew had Lee (the local) and me (not sure why I got to) talk to the news crew. So that's pretty cool...I should be on TV...however, I don't think I'll ever actually know...haha.
A bunch of people went out, but I decided to stay in since we start some real climbing tomorrow and that's really not my strong point. There are a few of us still hanging out here and we're gunna do some yoga and then play Apples to Apples because it's an awesome game.

Chatting Cats: Smarty Pants and Basket Bunnies
Raena, what are you doin'?
Did you read all the comments on our Service Cat Monday posty sissy? Everybody thinks I's so smart.
Me read them, and you are smart. But, you shouldn't let that give you the big head. 'Member, mommy says it's always better to be humble. Peeps don't like a smarty pants.
Just what does that mean, anyways? What's a smarty pants. Cuz, I's not wear any pants, lessen ya' count mine's bloomers. And while we're at it, what's this smarty pants fone? Ya' know when we went to mommy's doctors 'pointment last week, mommy furgot to take the camera…as usual. And she was sayin' how she needed one of those smarty pants fones so she'd always have a camera available.
Why? What did you do?
I's didn't do anythin' sissy, but there was this gigantor bunny rabbit outside the farmacy that mommy said she'd like to take our foto with. He was rockin' and wavin' in the wind, and I's not so sure I's would'a wanted to have mine's foto taken with him. But, mommy says it would'a been sooooooooo cute.
Yeah Raena, mommy likes things like that. She thinks we'd look so adorable up next to those decorations.
What kind'a decoration is a big ole bunny with a basket, sissy?
It signifies Easter, Raena. Me's doesn't actually unnerstand it all either, cuz mommy says Easter is all 'bout the resurrection of Jesus. But it seems that some peeps celebrate by hidin' funny colored eggs, and then carryin' 'round baskets and huntin' fur those eggs. And me thinks they believe this bunny called Peter Cottontail lays 'em. And of course as with any human holiday, there's chocolates involved too.
That don't sound right sissy. Bunnies don't lay eggs??. Do they??. I's gonna ask mommy 'bout all this, or maybe Speedy. He's a bunny, surely he knows 'bout all this?.
Fine, don't believe me. See ifin me answers any more of your questions.
Oh sissy, I's believe you. Don't get hissy. (Raena mumbles under her breath)
You still haven't told me what a smarty pants is, or a smarty pants fone fur that matter. (Raena turns to look at Dezi and excitedly meows)
Hey, have you been workin' on mine's birthday pawrty?
Me has, Raena. But what ifin it was gonna be a surprise? You shouldn't be askin' 'bout it.
But it's not a surprise, right? Cuz we've all been talkin' 'bout it?.
No Raena, it's not a surprise. What do you think 'bout this fur your invitation?
Raena's Party Invite
That's really cool sissy. Are we havin' a circus?
Maybe Raena. Would you like a circus?
I's don't know sissy, I's never been to a circus befur.
Well, our 'pawrtment purrobably isn't big enuff fur a circus Raena, but don't worry, it'll be lots of fun. Birthday's are always fun here. Mommy always wants us to feel really special and extra luvved. Come on, let's go finish brekky and take a nap. We've got an inspection today, and the exterminator's here too. So mommy's gonna have to get ready to mop. Those exterminators' always make a huge mess by sprayin' that poison in the middle of the floor and all up and down the walls. Mommy says their vision must be worse than hers. MOL That's why she likes to spray our 'pawrtment herself. Besides, the stuffs they use is so watered down, it doesn't really kill anythin'.
That Bengal stuffs mommy uses really works good. But it should; after all, it's named after a cat. MOL Do we have a play date fur tomorrow sissy? You know, mommy's goin' back to the dental surgeon fur her recheck, and again, she plans to leave both of us here.
Yep, Raena, me's invited some furiends over to play and keep you occupied while mommy's gone. (Hearing the alert alarms of other apartments getting closer, and seeing the lawn crew's truck drive up, Dezi heads down from her perch atop the Liberty tree and meows to Raena)
You better hurry Raena, it's fixin' to get really loud 'round here.
Till the next time…………………………………………Be Blest!!!

Chatting Cats: Planning A Party & Give Away Winner
Hey, is anypawdy out there? It's me, RaenaBelle.
What are you caterwaulin' 'bout now, Raena?
I's not caterwaulin' sissy. As a matter of fact, I's asked mommy what caterwaulin' is and she says, I's never caterwaul.
Yeah, well, mommy luvs you. And she luvs it when we meow to her, so that's why she said that. Trust me, you caterwaul.
Hey, sissy? Nellie asked me ifin I was gonna be a minx like her, when I's grow up. What's a minx?
Uh, well, Uh, You're too young to be learnin' 'bout those things. You just keep havin' fun on your little play dates and don't worry 'bout what you'll be when ya' grow up.
But sissy, It's mine's furst birthday month. Aren't I's grown up?
Trust me Raena, you ain't no where near grown up. There's purrlenty of time befur you have to make those kinds of decisions. As a matter of fact, me invited Alberto and Oliver of the Feline Opines over fur a play date next week when mommy has to go back to the dental surgeon fur her check up. Maybe we could just have a pawrty?
A pawrty? Like mine's birthday pawrty?
Not your birthday pawrty, Raena. Mommy wants to be here fur that. But maybe like a purree birthday pawrty. We could invite Shoko and Kali, Snoops and Kommando Kitty, Kosmo, Phenny, and you could ask Simon, and maybe Teddy would like to come. And some of me's cat scout furiends might wanna come too? And maybe…
We fur sure gotta invite Nellie, sissy. (Raena meows under her breath) I's gotta find out 'bout this minx thing.
Of course we'll invite our dear furiend Nellie. Hmmmmm This is startin' to look like a birthday pawrty. Maybe we just stick with Alberto and Oliver next week and well get invites out to everypawdy to come over fur your birthday pawrty on Furiday April 21st.
Oh sissy, that would be Pawsum!!! I's can't hardly wait. Ya' reckon everypawdy will come?
Sure they will Raena. (Dezi crosses her paws behind her back and meows under her breath) And ifin they don't, we'll still have a good time.
Oh sissy, you're the bestest sissy in the universe. (Raena tries to hug Dezi)
Yeah, yeah, okay kit, that's enuff. Get off me now.
Fanky fank you sissy. I's also wanted to announce the winner of our LumaSoothe give away. Ya' know it was mine's furst ever give away, and it was so much fun. I's wanna do that again. Anyways, the winner is awnty Vicky Denison of the Eastside Cats. We see some happy, purrin' cats in the very near future.
That's great Raena. Me luvs give aways too. We should also tell everypawdy that the pawsum peeps over at LumaSoothe are still offurin' $20.00 off the purchase of the LumaSoothe thru April 22, 2017. Just click the foto below and enter coupon code: dezizworld to save.
They were really great peeps to work with sissy. And we should tell everypawdy, to stay tuned. We have another pawsum give away comin' very soon. (Raena looks around and sees mommy getting dressed) I's gotta go get ready. Mommy has her regular monthly doctors 'pointment today, so we'll be 'round to visit everypawdy just as soon as we can. We're also linkin' up with the Pet Parade.
What makes you think you're goin', Raena? Me just got a new harness too.

Blest Sunday: Chatting Cats: Heaps of Happy Tears
Hey Raena, where did you and mommy go the other day to get all those britches she's been washin'?
I's don't know sissy, but after we sold our aluminum cans mommy saw a sign and said "Oh my cats Raena, we've gotta go back". We did some kinda middle of the road turn and went into this big store with racks and racks of clothes. She kept throwin' jeans in this basket till we couldn't see the bottom anymore.
Well how many green papers till all those blue jeans cost?
What do I's know 'bout green papers, sissy? I's know mommy was happy, and there was purrlenty left over fur treats. What? (Mommy says something to Raena) Oh, okay. Sissy, mommy says they had a bag sale at the Good Will and she got 10 pairs of jeans and a couple dress pants fur $2.00.
Oh, dat's purretty good. Me thinks she has plans to cut some of them off and make some shorts fur summer. That means she's gonna be draggin' out the sewin' machine soon.
Sewin' Machine? What's a sewin' machine. sissy?
Oh Raena, the sewin' machine is soooooooo much fun. There's strings fur playin' everywhere. Altho' mommy gets really mad when you walk over the foot pedal. Somethin' 'bout a needle goin' thru her finger. So whatever you do, stay away from that pedal. Me knows it looks like fun, but there's purrlenty of other things to play with.
There's a foot pedal? Am I's gonna learn to sew sissy?
Nope Raena, sewin' ain't on our list of duties. It's kinda like the carpet monster and mop. They exist, but we don't have to use 'em.
Well that's good. Cuz you know this wheelchair drivin' thing isn't as easy as I's thought it would be. But it sure is fun, watchin' you run. MOL
That's not nice Raena. Me just wants to make sure you don't run over me. You can sure be dangerous with that thing. Besides, you're not s'posed to be watchin' me. Maybe that's why it's takin' so long fur you to learn.
Mommy says I's no more dangerous than you were sissy. And that's I's right on schedule.
She's just tryin' to make you feel better Raena, cuz me's a wonderful driver.
Sure you are sissy. Like the other day when you ran us into the wall?.
That was your fault Raena. Ifin you hadn't swiped me's leg, me wouldn't have veered off course. Anyways, this isn't Service Cat Monday, it's Blest Sunday. And are we ever blest. As we told everypawdy on Furiday, mommy has a 'pointment to start getting' her teeths fixed. Ifin anypawdy missed the good mews you can read 'bout it here. That means the total green papers we need to get all the work done is gonna be less than originally anticipated. Mommy says she'll have to wait till after the 'pointment to know exactly how many teeth are removed by the surgeon on Fursday, but she thinks our total will drop by 'bout a thousand dollars. She will make the adjustment to the fundraiser once she knows fur sure. In the meantime, ifin ya' wanna help us out, you can donate directly to our paypal at: email@example.com or the fundraiser here.
That's such pawsum mews sissy. We're so excited. And we've got a pawssible ride, we just need to lock her in. Ifin anypawdy can spare a purrayer we'd purreciate it. The lady we're talkin' to is a little scared to drive in the city. But we know she can do it, we just need her to get the courage to say yes. And we'd also like to say a meowsy big fanky fanks to awnty Debbie, Katie and Waffles fur their donation to help mommy. I's think that Waffles is a handsum kitty boy. But I's hear he's a real ladies mancat. And we also wanna fanky fank our Anonymous Angels. They've not only helped with green papers, but also in helpin' mommy navigate the system, and tryin' to find mommy a ride.
Dat's right Raena. There's been a couple times they've pulled mommy off the ledge durin' all of this. And me also wants to say fank you to awnty Vonda and all her kitties. She sent some green papers fur me to get a new harness/vest to match yours and mommy's furinally well enuff to measure me and get it ordered. Me can't wait fur it to get here.
Me either sissy. We'll be stylin' together.
Sure we will Raena. (Dezi rolls her eyes) Anyways, there's all the other blessings we're fankful fur today too. We have a luvvin' furever home, food in our bellies and on our plates, and the bestest furiends in the universe. We always wanna remind ya'll to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the many blessings in your lives. No matter what's goin' on, there's always a blessing just waitin' to be found. Every night we purray and ask God to keep His hands on all our furiends and bless ya'll abundantly.
I's luvs purrayer time, sissy. Let's not furget to link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies befur we go. (The phone rings and Raena rushes to try to answer it before mommy. Mommy grabs the phone and a short conversation ensues. Mommy begins to cry and say a bunch of thank yous and God bless yous.) OMC, OMC, OMC!!!!! While we was writin' this very posty, the lady mommy's been talkin' to 'bout takin' her to her surgery 'pointment called. Guess what she said?
Well Raena, by the tears in mommy's eyes and the Cheshire grin, It's a GO!!! Mommy now has a ride to her 'pointment on Fursday!!! WooHoo (Dezi and Raena zoom thru the house and run up the cat tree and end up together in mommy's lap) We gotta go and help mommy celebrate. Don't furget to enter our give away fur that pawsum LumaSoothe by clickin' the entry photo above. And check out our review here.

Chatting Cats: Is Mommy Losing It
Well, here it is already the 4th day of the Mew Year. We were all sittin' 'round this meownin' thinkin' 'bout how quickly time is passing these days; when mommy popped up and said, "You know girls, Time waits for no man."
What did she mean sissy?
Oh Raena, me thinks she might have hit her head too hard, fallin' outta bed or somethin'. Me has no idea what she was talkin' 'bout. Sometimes, she just gets lost in thought and blurts out the furst thing that comes to mind.
I's checked that google thing, and it seems they don't really know the origins of what she said, but it ain't an original thought, so at least we know she isn't losin' it.
Don't be silly Raena, of course she's not losin' it. Mommy just has a ton of stuff in her brain and sometimes it just comes out. Wonder ifin that ever happens to any of our furiends?
Ifin what ever happens? They make no sense? Or just blurt out nonsense?
Just cuz we don't understand doesn't make it nonsense. Specially ifin it exists Raena. And you said you found it on google.
Yeah sissy, but you know mommy's always sayin' how stupid google is. And you know that must be true, cuz she hates that word and won't call anypawdy stupid.
Well, that's true, but me knows mommy's not losin' it, and that's that. Besides, she planted up her new AeroGarden yesfurday. And trust me, that took some sense. And then, she had to outwit you to get the cover back fur one of the seed pods. She was so purroud of her garden Raena, why would you go and steal a plastic cap?
I's couldn't help mines self sissy. Didn't you see them? They're so tiny and just the right size fur carryin' and battin' 'round. I was gonna have sooooooo much fun. Well, till mommy took it back that is. Besides, these are just purractice plants anyways; she hasn't got any lettuce seeds yet.
Purractice or not, mommy would like to be successful. And these plants are herbs she can use to season stuffs.
She will be sissy. I's gonna help her.
Is that what you call what you were doin'…Help?. Hmmpht We'll see. Me thinks it's purretty cool. The lights come on and off all by themselves. And there's somethin' in there that swooshes the water 'round every once and a while all on it's own too. We'll have to 'member to post updates along the way. But fur now, let's just go finish brekky. That is after mommy gets your plate uncovered. And don't ever turn mes plate over again, K?!!!
You wasn't eatin' it, and I's don't want anythin' bigger than us to smell it and come and eat us.
Ain't nuffin' comin' to eat us Raena. Mommy won't let it. We'll be by to visit soon. We're still waitin' on the wheelchair batteries, so mommy's extra slow.
Do you daydream?
Do you ever just blurt out your thoughts?
Are you interested in seeing the progression of mommys' AeroGarden?

Do not intend to lecture India, Pak on bilateral issues: Hague
British Foreign Secretary William Hague on Wednesday sought to strike a delicate balance in his country`s ties with India and Pakistan, saying the UK would welcome better relations between two countries but would not "lecture".
Islamabad: British Foreign Secretary
William Hague on Wednesday sought to strike a delicate balance in his
country`s ties with India and Pakistan, saying the UK would
welcome better relations between the two countries but would
not "lecture" them on how to resolve bilateral problems.
Hague, who is on his first visit to Islamabad for
talks with the Pakistani leadership, said the new British
government is working to elevate relations with fast growing
economies like India.
At the same time, Britain desires an "equally strong
relationship" with Pakistan, he said.
"We will be sufficiently strong friends with India and
Pakistan not to tell them how to resolve their bilateral
problems and not to lecture them about those issues.
"So it is not for the UK to lay down solutions for
them," Hague told a news conference he addressed along with
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
Hague, who is on a three-day visit here, was
responding to a question on whether Britain would play a role
in resolving differences between India and Pakistan on the
sharing of river waters.
The new British government, he said, is working to
elevate its relationship with many countries outside Europe
and North America due to the changing world economy.
"Yes, India is one of those countries but we want an
equally strong relationship with Pakistan... That`s why I have
come to Pakistan as one of my first goals as the new Foreign
Secretary is to emphasise that improvement in bilateral
relationships, that improvement in broadening relations over
the long-term applies to Pakistan as well," Hague said.
The new British government`s stand on ties with India
does not "in any way contradict what we have said about
Pakistan because we welcome improvement in relations between"
the two countries, he added.
Hague`s predecessor David Miliband had become a centre
of a diplomatic row between India and Britain after he
suggested that the Kashmir issue was at the root of terror
attacks like the one in Mumbai.
In an article last year, Miliband wrote: "Resolution
of the dispute over Kashmir would help deny extremists in the
region one of their main calls to arms".
India was upset by the suggestion and had registered a
protest with Britain.
Hague`s remarks that his government intends to stay
out of Indo-Pak matters is an indication that the new
dispensation would be careful not to stir another such
diplomatic row.
Hague vowed to deepen the "strategic dialogue" with
Pakistan and to increase developmental assistance to 665
million pounds over a period of four years.
Qureshi and Hague said they had reviewed bilateral
relations and exchanged views on regional and international
issues of mutual interest.
Qureshi described their talks as good and said both
sides decided to carry forward the process and expand areas of
Replying to a question on the exchange of dossiers
between India and Pakistan on the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks,
Qureshi said New Delhi had provided answers to some questions
raised by Islamabad in its latest dossier and this information
is being examined by the interior ministry.
India and Pakistan will have plenty of opportunity to
discuss the Mumbai attacks and related issues when Indian Home
Minister P Chidambaram visits Islamabad later this week to
attend a SAARC conference, Qureshi said.

I advise that you simply try a configuration, and see how it works. It's easy to change where origin points later. With that said, like you, I have a small ad-hoc setup of automated rsync backups between my various computers and servers, and I have found some characteristics useful: * I have rsync saving backups into dedicated backup folders on the remote machines. This eliminates ambiguity of what to back up (server A won't blow away server B's Documents folder, for example). * Using a publicly accessible server has been useful. I set up port forwarding to the machine, and set up a domain name pointing to the server. In general, when I have Internet access, I can access the server that contains my repositories. I always use the same domain name, even if I'm in the same room as the server. Hope that helps, Andrew -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

We need your help!
As if getting hit buy a car, left for dead, and then abandoned at the pound, wasn't bad enough luck for our sweet Hope. She recently had her 8 puppies via emergency C-section and we need to raise the funds for her vet bill. The puppies are not out of the woods, and ongoing care for both mom and babies will be needed. We are a 501c3 federal non-profit, and all donations are tax deductible. Please help if you can, by clicking the "Chip In" button below.
