The Famous Brazilian educator Paulo Freire opined that education in developing countries is conceived and practiced as a form of 'banking'. Herein, the teacher, as the communicator, makes deposits that the students patiently receive, memorize and repeat. The latter, he believed, serves to increase the recipients' dependence on the educator. He, thus, advocated a more liberating approach in which engagement with education functioned as a dialogue. Herein, the educator participated and generated access for students to imbibe knowledge that was truly self- fulfilling.
Teaching in India's government primary schools in rural areas has often been argued to be in the bind of such 'banking education'. In addition, since the country's independence in 1947, these schools have faced institutional constraints pertaining to infrastructure, maintenance, teacher recruitment, curriculum capacity and training. Educational expenditure as a percentage of GDP rose from 3% in 2004-05 to over 4% in 2011-12. In the 11th Five Year Plan period, 43% of the public expenditure was incurred for primary education (elementary stage from Grade I-V and upper primary from Grade VI-VIII).The modest gains of Operation Blackboard and the National Education Policy , of the late 80's, have been carried forward under the more ambitious flagship program Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA). Besides, the Right to Education Act (RTE) has also been invoked. Against an estimated child population of 192 million in the 6-14 age group, 195 million children have been enrolled at the elementary stage in 2009-10. In addition to enhancing learning levels, SSA also intends to fill infrastructural gaps and bridge gender differences in rural schools.
Despite enrolment increasing to near universal levels, critical grassroots issues still continue to stare us in the face. These include teacher absenteeism, lack of quality teaching, deficit of parent-teacher interaction and, more importantly, lack of access for marginalized rural communities (women, minorities, scheduled castes & tribes) at the elementary school stage.
Interactive information and communication technologies were envisioned to be amongst other panaceas to overcome these limitations. After decade-long deliberations in the post economic reform period of the 1990's, EDUSAT was launched in 2004 by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Human Resource Development and Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) exclusively for the education sector. EDUSAT is an acronym for Educational Satellite- a satellite dedicated to education with multiple channels. It is a technology network of uplink stations in selected national and state locations (to act as teaching ends) and downlink stations or facilities in various educational institutions (as learning ends) supported by satellite.
The class room in government primary schools (as also in secondary schools) is supposed to be provided either with a large 29 inch television, a camera and audio equipment or a computer with an LCD projector. When a learner asks questions, the audio and visual signals get beamed to the satellite which in turn sends it back to the teaching end. The network has the facility to record the lessons taught as well the questions asked and store the same in a digitized form to enable running of a virtual classroom. Lessons, thus, can be stored and retrieved by anyone with access to the computer. As a result, it is possible for a student to revisit and relive the classroom experience.
States like Tamil Naidu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have made early pioneering efforts to generate rich experiences using virtual classrooms for strengthening EDUSAT. While 'receive only' terminals have been established at the primary school stage, 'interactive' terminals have largely served secondary schools and higher institutions. The states of Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Uttaranchal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have benefited from the satellite supported networking of rural schools (RGPEEE Project) to connect remote and inaccessible areas. Haryana launched a full network comprising of five EDUSAT channels in 2007 covering the entire gamut of education from primary to technical.
The Primary School Channel in Haryana, that intended to cover more than a million children between the age group of 6-14 in 9080 schools, is a DTH (Direct to Home) receive only terminal with provision for 29 inch color TVs. The latter system was installed to strengthen curriculum aimed at English and Maths broadcast teaching for I to V Grades. In 2008, I had visited and examined an EDUSAT project running in the remote primary school of village Aminabad (located in the backward District of Mewat- Southern Haryana). The study unearthed a host of backward-forward linkage concerns that are still relevant in today's intensely interconnected world.
First, the logic of setting up a 'receive only terminal' at the elementary school stage is an issue that needs to be revisited. This, in fact, is the stage when core foundational ideas and the problem solving abilities of children in the age group of 6-14 are being gradually nurtured. This is especially crucial for children from rural areas who participate in school activities in the face of tremendous socio-cultural odds at the elementary school stage. Therefore, there is a dire need at this stage for interactive learning in real time to build children's skills sets. More so, if they are to be empowered to participate effectively in EDUSAT projects later at the secondary school stage that opens a skill/vocational stream, too.
Second, with a 'receive only terminal' the role of the class teacher becomes extremely pertinent. While the learning outcome achieved by audio-visual image on television (broadcasting of a video recorded lecture that is not interactive) is a step better than repetitive teaching by rote, a class teacher's capacity to be able to create an environment of dialogic participation with the taught is a must. Hence, the 'receive only' EDUSAT intervention at the elementary school stage has to be supplemented with intensive training for teachers to be effective communicators. Civil society-led workshops on capacity enhancement (in a public private partnership mode) at the block and district level have proved to be a boon in states such as Tamil Naidu.
Third, a major constraint in the regular functioning of the EDUSAT project is electricity-related failures due to frequent power cuts. Hence, the need to strengthen the provision of, for example, solar powered batteries. Due to insufficient power supply, the structured video lesson schedules cannot be followed up for days at a stretch. This, infact, defeats the inculcation of a sustained virtual learning culture at the elementary school stage in the village. Besides, there often is prolonged delay in availability of technical help, since private service providers are available only at distant locations from the village or group of villages.
Last, but not the least, there is a need to devolve and decentralize the management, operation and ownership of the EDUSAT project at the primary school stage to the constitutionally backed third tier of rural local self-governance, i.e. empowered Gram Panchayats. The latter, in partnership (through functional linkages) with dedicated grassroots nongovernmental organizations, should stringently monitor two crucial parameters at the local level. One, impact evaluation by targeting of female girl children in the elementary classes who belong to marginalized communities and two, timely response mechanisms for technical solutions at call for equipment related service provision.
Reputed nongovernmental organizations such as Pratham (First) have enabled several state governments to make changes in their rural development program strategies to increase scheme/project efficacy. Pratham's ASER (meaning impact) is an intensive household survey that measures the reading and arithmetic levels of children in the age group of 4-16 years. Surveys such as the above should be utilized to procure feedback on access and participation issues in EDUSAT projects, specifically at the elementary school stage (in low income states such as Odisha, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh).
At the same time, the government needs to aggressively push the fiber based broadband connectivity along with associated infrastructure that is proposed to be given to over 260,000 Gram Panchayats in the ensuing 12th Plan Period (2012-2017). This would enable the Panchayats to electronically track SSA funds, improve internal management processes and supervise converged flow of funds efficiently at the elementary school stage. Especially, multiple funds that are meant for strengthening building/ICT infrastructure development and measuring learning outcomes in rural areas.
Finally, the Union government led National Innovation Council (NIC) should fast track the setting up of the India Inclusive Innovation Fund that will invest in innovative ICT enterprises engaged in providing solutions for the 'bottom of the pyramid'. In fact, such a fund should back up and scale synergies between the EDUSAT network and a host of private sector initiatives such as the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) that aim at creating a digitally literate generation in the hardscrabble class rooms of rural areas in emerging markets.

This is a very interesting
This is a very interesting blog from Abhilaksh, congratulations for writing such an informative analysis of ICET in the rural education. The author has driven some data from his firsthand experience in Haryana and with good analysis on the challenges with the satellite based teaching system at the country level. I have been involved in several public education initiatives related to public as well as formal education projects for the rural communities of Gujarat. Private sector could play much bigger role. Starting from the private television broadcast companies to village internet centers running virtual classroom program for kids. The Khan Academy experiment could also be replicated by NGOs as well as the multiple private coaching and tuition institutions. There is a growing number of private tuition and coaching facilities in the small towns and bigger villages of India. State could strengthen the invest climate in the sector thus incentivizing education institutes to reach out to the students. It is quite likely that all the crucial factors such as technology, services and infrastructure associated with the rural education could be addressed with the help of private sector financing.
A very interesting and
A very interesting and informative article and for me, an eye-opener on the potential of satellite technology to improve the quality of instruction at relatively low cost.
Thanks for writing this blog.
Thanks for writing this blog. It was really informative and i was really happy to see your effort for rural education.

This is a great blend to shake up your routine. It always tastes great on chops and adds a new dimension to steaks. I like to sprinkle just a hint on sliced pears or in a citrus salad to bring out the sweetness.

D. H. Coggeshall (1847-1912) made his living as an apiculturist in Tompkins County, N.Y., on the southeast edge of the Finger Lakes. Beginning by 1870, he sold honey or extracted honey, and occasionally bees, to customers and commission merchants as far away as the Midwest.
This small assemblage of business letters and accounts document an active apiculturist during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Of particular note are some scarce printed advertising broadsides and circulars from some of the best known apiculturists of the time, including L.L. Langstroth and Charles Dadant, as well as an early flier advertising the sale of newly arrived Italian bees. The sparse correspondence includes letters from clients and colleagues of Coggeshall, along with communications with commission merchants charged with selling his honey.

LARAMIE, Wyo. Air Force backup quarterback Kale Pearson took just one snap against Wyoming, but it turned out to be the biggest and most controversial of the game.
Pearson scored on a 5-yard bootleg in the fourth quarter, lifting the Falcons over the Cowboys 28-27 Saturday night.
"The hardest part right there is just getting the snap," Pearson said. "Coming in, first play, you got your nerves goin', but actually I did my job, and I knew everybody else would do theirs."
Connor Dietz, who left the game for one play because of an injury, passed for 141 yards and two touchdowns for the Falcons (3-3, 2-1 Mountain West). Dietz rushed for 92 yards.
Wyoming coach Dave Christensen visibly was upset with Falcons coach Troy Calhoun after the game.
Christensen later questioned whether Dietz was injured, noting the quarterback walked about 20 yards before taking a knee near the Falcons sideline. He said the several minutes that trainers attended to Dietz gave Air Force time to strategize for the next play.
"There was nothing wrong with that player, except that his helmet came off," Christensen said. "And I have a real problem with that."
About eight minutes remained in the game, and the Falcons had all three timeouts remaining.
Before Pearson entered, the referee announced that Dietz, by rule, had to leave the game because his helmet came off.
"In this game we're supposed to be ethical, and that's not ethical," Christensen said. "I don't know what they teach at Air Force, but I'm not going to teach that to my kids. I want my guys to get off the field when they're hurt, and we don't want to stop the game."
Calhoun declined to discuss incident in detail with media.
However, he described the conversation with Christensen as "probably not a conversation that I'd have with my mom not that kind of dialogue."
Wyoming (1-5, 0-2) played without starting quarterback Brett Smith, who was scratched just before the game because of an undisclosed injury. Entering the weekend, Smith was ranked ninth in the nation in total offense, averaging 336 yards a game.
Smith was replaced by freshman Jason Thompson, who passed for 195 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 75 yards.
For the second consecutive week, Wyoming faced, and held in check, the nation's leading rusher.
Air Force running back Cody Getz, who entered averaging 177.4 yards a game, was held to just 41 yards on 10 carries. He left the game late in the third quarter with a lower left leg injury. The previous week, Wyoming held Nevada's Stefphon Jefferson, who was averaging 175.4 yards a game, to 78 yards.
The Falcons entered the game averaging 389.6 rushing yards a contest second in the nation.
Wyoming held Air Force to 230 rushing yards on 51 carries.
But the Cowboys gave up two long TD passes a 41-yard strike from Dietz to Don Strickland and 46-yard score from Dietz to Ty MacArthur.
Still, the Cowboys led 27-21 entering the fourth quarter, thanks to a 9-yard run by Shaun Wick, 4-yard TD pass from Thompson to Chris McNeill, 1-yard run by D.J. May and two field goals by Stuart Williams.
When Dietz was shaken up after being tackled on Wyoming's 5-yard line on a short run, Pearson came in on third and goal, faked a handoff and sprinted around the right end, diving for the pylon at the front corner of the end zone. He initially was ruled out of bounds, but a review of the play revealed that he got the ball over the pylon for a touchdown.
"I knew it was going to be close," Pearson said. "I knew it right when I turned around I would have to dive. I was just happy the coach had faith in me to run a bootleg."
Dietz returned on Air Force's next possession and finished the game.
Wyoming outgained Air Force 447-371 and had an 11-minute advantage in time of possession, but the Cowboys failed to score in the final quarter.
"We're going to be a squad that just has to gut, grind, strain and persevere, and that happened tonight," Calhoun said. "We came up with some huge, huge stops on defense in the second half."
Thompson, who completed his first nine pass attempts, failed to complete any of his three attempts in the fourth quarter. He finished 23 of 36 with no interceptions.

Ezequiel Lavezzi has stressed that Paris Saint-Germain cannot afford to underestimate Valencia in their Champions League round of 16 tie.
The Argentina international is determined to go far in the competition, but realises that the capital club's lack of experience at the highest level could make things difficult for them.
"I'm like Leo [Messi] in that I don't watch matches when I'm not playing, but I know Valencia demand a lot of respect," Lavezzi was quoted as saying on the official Uefa website.
"They're technically strong, they like to be on the ball and to use it well – and, to go back to my basic point, Valencia have lots of Champions League experience.
"I've learned in this competition that teams with experience have an advantage. Chelsea were one of those last season and we paid for it at Napoli.
"Our first stage in this tournament was good, but now it's at the stage where there can be no mistakes."
The first leg of the round-of-16 tie between PSG and Valencia takes place on February 12 at Mestalla.

GARDNER � An Ashburnham man is being held without bail after being charged with kidnapping, assaulting and attempting to murder his wife.
Richard Lincoln Stiles, 61, of 238 Sunset Lake Road, Ashburnham, is charged with attempted murder, kidnapping, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, breaking and entering in the daytime to commit felony, intimidating a witness and home invasion. He was arraigned Monday in Gardner District Court, where Judge Arthur Haley III ordered him held without bail until a probable cause hearing Feb. 21.
According to police reports filed with court documents, at 9:51 a.m. Sunday an Ashburnham dispatcher received a 911 call but was unable to speak to anyone. The dispatcher could hear male and female voices through the telephone. The dispatcher said the woman was heard to say, "Let me go," "The phone is off," and "Lincoln, let me go."
When police arrived, they walked onto a side porch and could see a woman inside, sitting at the bottom of a stairway. The woman was calling, "Help me." The woman was Mr. Stiles' wife. She had her hands restrained behind her back and ankles handcuffed. She had blood around her mouth and complained of injuries to her head, back and mouth.
The victim told police that at 9:20 that morning Mr. Stiles entered the house as she was getting ready to leave for work. She told police he grabbed the front of her jacket and threw her into a wall at the corner of the hallway, causing her head to hit the wall. At that point, the victim was able to call police and then quickly placed the phone in her coat pocket with an open line.
The victim said Mr. Stiles then walked her to the second-floor apartment where she lived and used her keys to enter the apartment. He pushed her to the floor, and after arguing with her, pushed her down a back set of stairs, causing her to fall to the bottom of the stairway. At that point, she realized she was missing front teeth and her mouth was bleeding.
At the bottom of the stairs, the victim told police, Mr. Stiles jumped on her back and punched her in the rib cage. He then pulled her hands behind her back and tied them with soft restraints. Then he put metal handcuffs on her ankles.
While straddling her, he pulled a scarf tight around her mouth and neck and used his hand to cover her mouth and nose, making it difficult for her to breathe. The victim said that while he was choking her, he said, "You'll just pass out and they will find you here."
After being placed under arrest, Mr. Stiles told police he did not try to kill his wife and that he wouldn't hurt her. He also said he told her, "Don't push it."

Student v. School: Charlotte School of Law Sued by Student Seeking Admissions for Bankruptcy Proceeding
By Elie Mystal
Im surprised this doesnt happen more often. A student is demanding that his law school admit to scamming him out of money in open court.
And why? The student isnt trying to recover tuition dollars directly from the school. Instead, the student is involved in the arduous process of trying to get his debts discharged through bankruptcy. As weve mentioned repeatedly, you cant discharge student loans through the bankruptcy process absent a showing of undue hardship.
The student is named Kenneth Desormes. The school is Charlotte School of Law. And he wants Charlotte to admit what they did to him
Desormes filed a request for admission from Charlotte in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Connecticut. The first few requests read like a standard scamblog type post:
1. Admit that your business targets young, ambitious, and naïve individuals to enroll into an inferior legal education program.
2. Admit that your business lures these individuals through a very lucrative scholarship incentive program.
3. Admit that your business fails to fully disclose its accreditation status to prospective enrollees.
4. Admit that your business discourages and in fact inhibits the transfer of current students to other institutions.
Im not sure how this helps the kid show undue hardship, but its pretty funny.
The next section gets into the students personal issues:
5. Admit that your business did not provide adequate accommodation for students with learning disabilities until the Spring of 2009.
6. Admit that not all the students who attend your business meet the legal requirements for employment as attorneys due to a mental condition or criminal records.
7. Admit that the Plaintiff may have possessed either or both of these conditions at the time of enrollment.
8. Admit that your business received privy information in the Fall of 2008 that Plaintiff did not meet the legal requirements for employment as an attorney based on the conditions discussed in question 6.
9. Admit that your business ignored that information and persisted on originating several loans on behalf of the Plaintiff thereafter.
These questions get a little complicated. Surely Desormes isnt arguing that law schools should discriminate against people with mental conditions and criminal records? We dont want law schools to be de facto character and fitness review boards, do we? Its not like Charlotte was targeting students with mental disabilities, right?
Desormes didnt respond to our request for comment. The papers were filed last week and we havent been able to locate a response from Charlotte School of Law at this time.
The student does end with a classic closing request:
10. Admit that your business knew or should have known that Plaintiff would be in no position to repay those loans.
Ha. Itll be a cold day in hell before any law school admits to that.

Imagine if this guy used all this energy to find a job instead of blaming everybody else for his problems.
Also it is up to the student's to disclose any felonies etc to their school. They tell you to do it and if you don't well you are going to waste 3 years of your life, maybe they should do the bar background at the beginning so there are no sudden surprises. Then mental condition and learning disabiilities? Honestly, if the person was smart enough to graduate college and get a LSAT score respectable enough to get into an ABA school they don't have a severe mental condition.

I do have to ask how did he rack up 250k in student loans? The most expensive school is 45k a year and I believe that is Harvard. Many schools are only 30k a year and if attended a 45k a year school 135k in tuition if he blew through 115k STRAIGHT CASH no taxes in 3 years maybe he has 0 financial responsibility. Law school is expensive, but racking up 250k seems a little suspicious.

I can easily see a student using 250k in loans. Remember, some students live really well in law school. Half the people in your class might be blowing through thousands of dollars in loan money every month. Paying for there kids, paying rent, buying cars, etc. All of these expenses add up and its really easy to simply spend the borrowed money you didn't earn.

Then whose fault is it? If you live really well on borrowed money and you were smart enough to get into law school, which means you are not completely retarded you should have the common sense to realize you will have to pay it back. If you are living in a 3,000 a month apartment going to fancy dinners and partying like you never did before when you were actually making money you have to know it will catch up to you. If these were high school dropouts or people with mental disease their might be a bit of sympathy. However, law students are college educated people that know what they are doing. They just have an idea that they are special and reality will not catch up to them. Unfortunately, nobody is special and you cannot have to much sympathy for an intelligent person making terrible decisions. You can keep your debt down below 250k pretty easily. There are plenty of programs including work-study, which is not that hard to get that you can do to keep your debt down. The only baffling thing about work-study is that you have to dare I say "work" I know that is a crazy concept, but it is there.

Last time I checked the vast majority of incoming law students easily fall into the category of being legally adults, fully capable of entering into contracts. Most even spent a great deal of time informing their prospective law schools how cleaver and above average they are in countless ways. As such it seems disingenuous to come back and claim that you were an idiot and should not have been allowed to be taken advantage of by the big mean law school.
Try this course of action to get out of a contract for military service, where something more important then a school loan covering your European vacation is on the line. Honestly these arguments make me ill, sure life takes some unexpected turns, but people need to grow a spine and learn to find a way to resolve problems that do not involve looking for the boggy man who did nasty things to them.

I know it is amazing if they ever get to court and the judge pulls out the student's personal statement indicating how intelligent, motivated, etc they are I would love to see the look at the student's face. I had a bunch of bosses or former professors write to you telling you how capable I was and I even wrote an essay about it myself directly to you. I earned a College Degree and worked in various fields and even was even intelligent enough to post a respectable score on the LSAT and pass the bar. Still I cannot possibly be held accountable for the decisions I made.
You are pretty smart if you can pass the bar. Not to mention law schools require you to send LOR's, personal statements etc where you essentially talk about how great you are. The only conclusion a judge could come up with is you are not an idiot, but no matter how smart you are if you make stupid decisions to study abroad every summer on BORROWED money and never work then that is your own damn fault. Not to mention plenty of law students do succeed. If a law school had a 0% bar passage rate then there might be an issue. There are students at every school that obtain jobs and believe it or not the problem with unemployed students may be the student themselves. Sometimes you do need to be accountable for your decisions as surprising as that might be.

I'm pretty sure I spent about 250k+ to go to law school. Some was loans, some was earnings, some savings. I didn't live well at all. Figure $50k/yr for tuition+ fees, 21,000/yr for a crappy, tiny apartment near school, $6k/yr for a crappy, tiny apartment near the summer job, $3k/yr for travel expenses (flying to interviews, going from school city to job city etc) and you are up to ~$80k x 3 = $240,000 before you buy any food, books, local transport, clothes, etc.

Harvard I think has the most expensive tuition cost of any school though. Harvard is 43,000 per year TJSL where the guy went was 33,000 per year. Not to mention this guy somehow ended up in NY, which is a long way from San Diego and more expensive as well. My point being the guy in the article did not seem to be pinching his pennies and when you are going to a non-elite school you should be wary of your expenditures. If you got into Harvard or T14 schools the payoff does generally come back faster. If you go to the 132nd best school you are going to have to fight your way up. It is very rare to get handed a 150k a year job from these schools and you should only go them if you really want to be a lawyer. On top of that I imagine the guy ignoring the phone calls from collectors is resulting in more interest accruing and possibly some type of liquidated damages fee that comes in. Ignoring your responsibilities generally ends up costing you more in the long run and the guy in the New York times just does not elicit much sympathy from me. I am sure there are much more sympathetic cases out there than this guy.

I have recently posted a video showing Windows 8 Customer Preview being streamed via PCoIP to an iPad, and I received comments and emails asking for a step-by-step guide to reproduce the solution. If you didn't have the chance to watch the video go to Windows 8 CP + View 5.0 with PCoIP + iPad .
Before I go ahead I must say that the procedures mentioned below are unsupported by VMware and should not be executed in Production environment. I urge you to use a non-production environment to test the solution below.
ok, with supportability disclaimer out of the way we can move ahead…
I will highlight here the steps required to prepare the ESXi host and Master VM. I will also point to some of the articles already available on the web that explain how to accomplish each task.
1. Install VMware ESXi 5.0 patch release ESXi500-201112001 patch.
Install Windows 8 Consumer Preview as VM in VMware vSphere 5
How to Run Windows 8 Consumer Preview & Windows 8 Server on vSphere 5
2. Create a new VM and Install Windows 8 CP.
Install Windows 8 Consumer Preview as VM in VMware vSphere 5
Important: When creating the VM make sure you select Windows 7 64-bit as Guest OS. This is important to allow you to select the 3D option. Without 3D the display quality will be deprecated.
Important: Assign 128MM RAM for the video card. This is important to give maximum display performance to the desktop with Metro UI.
At this stage you should have a working Windows 8 CP VM. Next
3. Install VMtools
4. Install VMware View Agent 5.0 64-bit.
During the installation of the Agent you will be asked for the IP address/hostname and authentication credentials for one of the connection servers. This happens because VMware View Agent install set doesn't understand the Windows 8 kernel level. I'll later post a way to avoid that. For now, enter the requested information.
Important: De-select Persona Management during the installation process.
5. (Optional) Power the VM down and take a snapshot for easy roll-back should something happen to the VM.
By now you would be expecting to see the VM under "Registered Desktops"; but you will not. VMware View 5.0 doesn't recognize the Windows 8 OS version, therefore not populating a critical information in the ADAM database.
VMware View Connection Server
VMware View classifies the Guest OS version and only allows certain operations based on the version property. Without hacking into the internal database VMware View will not allow you to add Windows 8 to a desktop pool. You want to use manual pool because they allow PCoIP and also allow you to add ad-hoc computers.
The Guest OS version information is kept in the internal ADAM database (Active Directory Application Mode). The steps below will explain how to change the Guest OS version.
6. Connect to one of your connection servers via RDP and execute the ADSI Edit tool or adsiedit.msc. If your connection server is Windows 2K3 you will need to install the ADSI Edit tool. Download it from here.
7. Use the connection settings below to connect to the internal ADAM LDAP (DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=int). Click OK.
8. Navigate to Servers OU and select and open the latest CN added to the list. At this point you should be able to see a property 'Display Name' containing the name of the server. If this is not the server you are adding you will need to find the correct CN.
If you have problems finding your VM because your ADAM has to many enties, read VMware View Pool Membership Management using PowerCLI. The PowerShell object View-Get-Objects will help you to retrieve elements from the ADAM database.
9. Because VMware View is not ready to understand Windows 8 kernel version the pae-OSVersion property is not populated during the View Agent registration process.Navigate to the 'pae-OSVersion' property and change it from 0 to 5. Click OK.
At this point the Windows 8 VM is available under 'Registered Desktop Sources' in the VMware View dashboard. Now you will need to create a View Manual Desktop Pool (non vCenter Managed) and add the desktop into the pool. Grant user entitlements and than you should have your Windows 8 CP VM accessible via PCoIP.
In a later post I will explain how to configure automated pools with Windows 8 CP.

STOCKTON - Dramatic changes are on the horizon for San Joaquin County's medical landscape. Health care is a dynamic industry and new developments are ramping up - fast.
STOCKTON - Dramatic changes are on the horizon for San Joaquin County's medical landscape. Health care is a dynamic industry and new developments are ramping up - fast.
It's not a stretch to think that, a year from now, we could look back on 2013 as the year that kicked off the most monumental transformation in health care in the county since Dr. Christopher Grattan opened Stockton's first hospital in 1849. Consider these facts:
� An estimated 50,000 to 60,000 indigent adult county residents, currently uninsured, will meet the criteria to receive Medi-Cal benefits beginning Jan. 1.
� An additional 20,000 to 34,000 uninsured residents with slightly higher incomes will be eligible for private insurance through the state's new exchange called Covered California.
� Construction of the nation's largest prison medical facility - the 1,722-bed California Correctional Health Care Facility, Stockton - in the southeast corner of the city will be completed in May, with the first inmates expected to arrive in July. It is expected to operate with a staff of more than 2,400 skilled workers in more than 160 job classifications.
� Next door, the Dewitt Nelson Correctional Annex is being constructed with 1,133 beds for state inmates needing psychiatric care and supervision.
� The proposed VA medical facility on 52 acres adjacent to San Joaquin General Hospital, providing a comprehensive outpatient clinic and 120-bed community living center for the region's veterans, is just waiting for Congress to appropriate funding before construction can begin.
� 100-year-old Dameron Hospital is in serious negotiations to finalize its joint venture with Sacramento's University of California, Davis, Medical Center, potentially opening up access to a significantly higher level of care.
� St. Joseph's Medical Center, the county's largest and oldest private hospital, is establishing a new partnership with UC San Francisco Medical Center's Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, bringing world-class, cutting-edge cancer care to the county.
� San Joaquin General Hospital in French Camp, California's oldest public hospital founded in 1857, is expected to establish the county's first designated trauma center, a dream of many for decades that is finally coming true. It could save hundreds of lives each year and provide county residents with an entirely new level of care.
� O'Connor Woods Senior Living in north Stockton, anticipating future needs, is investing $7 million on a Memory Care secured facility for residents with dementia, larger two-bedroom apartments to accommodate couples and an adult-day care unit for both residents and community members.
� Sutter Gould Medical Foundation will build a new care center in Tracy capable of accommodating up to 30 physicians while Dignity Health Medical Group Stockton hopes to add at least a dozen new physicians to its group after assisting in recruiting 12 new doctors to the community in 2012.
"I think this is going to be a very exceptional year because of the implementation of health reform and the uncertainties that go along with that," said Ken Cohen, the county's director of health care services.
The impact of tens of thousands of newly insured patients, Cohen said, has yet to be felt. "We've never served that many people because the indigent population has only sought health care when they need it. Medi-Cal will be assigning people to physicians under managed care."
Typically, the uninsured poor who suffer from chronic ailments such as heart disease, asthma and diabetes let their problems fester until they are serious enough and then they seek the most expensive care available in a hospital emergency room. Millions of dollars are wasted that could have been saved if the patient's care was managed by a primary care physician and earlier, less expensive interventions were provided.
Many questions remain, though, about where those physicians will come from. San Joaquin County has a serious shortage of primary and specialty care doctors as well as other medical personnel that will only be compounded when the massive new state inmate health facility comes on line this summer.
That $900 million, 82-buildingfacility on 400 acres, with an estimated annual payroll of $220 million, will require registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, psychiatric technicians, phlebotomists, medical and pharmacy assistants, and therapists in addition to physicians, psychiatrists, correctional officers, and administrative and support staff. In total, it will create 2,800 full-time jobs - all new to the community. (For job information, visit ChangingPrisonHealthcare.org.)

QUESTION: How do you mitigate the risk of a large decline in the underlying stock in a covered call position?
ANSWER: The hit-and-run covered call
Covered calls or buy writes are a good way to reduce volatility in equity positions, but a big decline in the underlying stock still will scuttle a covered call position and lead to significant losses. Your loss is mitigated by the short call position, which will create gains as the option price follows the stock downward; but with a delta around .50, you still will take a hit.
So, what can you do about it? For one, you can shorten the time exposure. You can sell an option that has only a few days to live. In other words, you can hit-and-run. To do that, you have to make the right choice of underlying stock and option.
Stock selection
- Select a stock that is at or near the bottom of its recent range. All else being equal, it will have a smaller probability of decline than a stock at or near its recent peak.
- Look for a stock that is sitting at or near recent lows or highs or at the edge of a price gap, as prices tend to find support at these levels.
- Favor lower priced stocks. Options on lower priced stocks tend to be cheaper and trade more actively, reducing the spread between the bid and ask prices. Stay away from thinly traded stocks for the same reason.
- Apply whatever other technical criteria you favor: Moving averages, price momentum or trend analysis.
- Avoid stocks that will announce earnings between now and option expiration. Betting on earnings surprises is another game.
Option selection
- Look for an option with a premium of $1.50 or more. If you're going to take the risk, you might as well be paid well for it.
- Stay away from options with light trading volume. The spread between bid and ask prices on thinly traded options can be as much as 100% and too large to overcome.
- Sell the nearest expiration. The longer an option has to live, the more time the underlying stock has to tank. You want an option that is on its death bed: 10 days to expiration is good, three days is better.
- Sell the strike that is at or just out-of-the-money. You're not going for a small chance at a big kill; you're after the premium.
That sounds like a tall order as most out-of-the-money option prices drop to a few pennies during their last week of life. But with research you can find candidates for this trade. The first item you need is a list of 25 or so stock/call-option combinations with the highest potential returns. Many brokerage firms and options houses provide this information to their clients.

So previously this teams name was Cai Gaming with 91% W/L that appeared over night, couple of my friends and i reported this team because that was simply just way to sketchy to have been a legit grind.
Now if we are wrong than i can simply accept these guys are just this good.... But i dont think we're wrong for assuming this team either wintraded or exploited in some way to pull off the rating.
The armory linked above is a remade team, they managed to pull this team off in 8 hours. I went to bed at 6am EST. To wake up and see my arena partners posting this armory.

Hi Dan,
Been searching the web all day and was wondering if you could please give some possible info for my situation?
Basically I injured my hand 14 weeks ago. Me and another guy collided full speed and my hand seems to have taken the brunt of it. It must have jammed into his leg or hip or something hard. I immediately got X-rays because it swelled up. No break and they did a series of them to be sure.
It seemed to be making steady progress but seems like it's stopped about 6 weeks ago. Now I have much less but there is still swelling in the hand. I can now bend the thumb, middle and index finger. I can even pop the index, the first 5 weeks it was painful when I tried to pop it and now it's fine. However, I can only flex the ring and pinkie. They don't bend at the crease. When I try to force them, the knuckle feels very tight.
I'm concerned I may have a more serious injury and can't be seen for quite a while. Another thing I noticed is the ring and pinkie finger were discolored a couple days and the skin kind of dimpled in on a few spots of the crease below the fingers. The dimples and color are gone but that Palmer crease still won't bend one bit.
My initial checkups have ruled out fractures and seemingly tendons. I'm kinda nervous that my hand might be permanently damaged or that I may need surgery and that still may not fix it.
It's pretty obvious it's something in the knuckle joint. If it's a damaged Palmer plate or busted capsule will they heal on their own?
I also saw about ligament and articulate cartilage as well as synovial fluid located in the area I seem to have injured. Do those types of injuries tend to heal themselves or is surgery required? Or worse is it possible the damage is permanent? I'm not in any pain, I just can't make a fist at all. When I try it's all disfigured and looks horrible. The ring finger sticks out farther than the others and the pinkie knuckle is not visible.
I know you are much more knowledgable on these parts of the hand and was just hoping I can get some info to prepare me for what I may have ahead or if I'm just freaking out and need to wait it out even longer. Thanks so much!
Marcus in my opinion you need to be seen by a PT at least once. You need to get those fingers moving. Extreme stiffness in traumatized fingers is pretty common, and it can be quite chronic and nagging if it is not dealt with. You very well might benefit from guided exercises and perhaps some finger splints to help with bending the joints.
Some people will also get some benefit from heating the hand up with moist heat immediately prior to doing stretching exercises.
To put it simply, an operetta falls somewhere between an opera and a musical. Like a musical, an operetta (most often) contains spoken dialogue, as well as song. Operettas are often satirical and witty, and tend to be much shorter and less complex than traditional operas.
Take a look at the best known operettas, and the composers behind them…
In the nineteenth century, French composer Jacques Offenbach made operetta an international art form thanks to works such as (), and (In fact, during his lifetime, Offenbach wrote more than 100 operettas. His success paved the way for Strauss, Sullivan, and the musicals of the 20th century, which stemmed from the genre.
Up until 1858, when Offenbach composed his theatrical licence prevented him from staging any operas with more than one act, or four characters. After negotiation (with Napoleon III's government) he was finally allowed to stage full-length operettas, and was premiered. To get back at the young Napoleon's strict regime, Offenbach wrote an operetta that satirised Paris and its government. Surprisingly, the emperor allowed Offenbach to stage the operetta without any censoring.

Like Offenbach, Gilbert and

, the British operatic duo, favour satirical operettas. They often poke fun at the establishment and use wit and humour as a way of expressing political opinion.

the Younger, not to be confused with composer Richard Strauss , was conducting his own orchestra before his 25th birthday, and was admired by the likes of Wagner, Liszt and Brahms.

as it is more popularly known, was first performed in Vienna at the Theater an der Wien in 1874, to an unmoved audience. It wouldn't be for another two years that the Viennese audience took to the operetta, and another 16 years before the Vienna Opera added to its repertoire. Strauss's satire was often generic, unlike Offenbach who commented on real-life matters. Also unlike Offenbach's, and other operettas of the time, relies on the power of the orchestra, and only one role can be performed by an untrained voice.
Johann Strauss the Younger in 1879
A few decades after Gilbert and Sullivan brought operettas to the London stage, composer Franz Lehar revitalised the world of Viennese operetta. Lehar's remains one of the best known works in the operetta repertoire and helped the composer to become an international name. Moving away from the standard, Lehar fully orchestrated innovating the genre. It was the first show to try selling merchandise – the Merry Widow Hat, a black wide-brimmed hat, adorned with feathers, became a crucial part of women's fashion for years to come.
Austrian Composer Franz Lehar in around 1900
Operetta and musical theatre co-existed in the first part of the twentieth century, each using the other as inspiration. Musical theatre versions of operettas, were created and staged, until musicals flourished and became a genre of their own. Like the operettas before it, and the other musicals of the time, commented on real situations and real issues. They were a perfect mix of dancing, singing, acting and drama. The Gilbert and Sullivan of the 20th century, composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein, went on to revolutionise Broadway with a number of successful musicals.

NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks have fired coach Mike Woodson after a disappointing 2013-14 season.
New Knicks president Phil Jackson announced the decision Monday.
The Knicks reached the playoffs twice under Woodson before this year's club finished 37-45 and wound up one game behind Atlanta for the final spot in the Eastern Conference.
Woodson had his contract option picked up for the 2014-15 campaign last September after the Knicks won the their first division title since 1993-94 with a 54-28 record in 2012-13 and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals.
However, the Knicks never recovered after stumbling out of the gate this year with a 3-13 mark, and a change in the front office with Jackson taking over as club president in March led to Woodson's ouster.
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mike Woodson and his entire staff," said Jackson. "The coaches and players on this team had an extremely difficult 2013-14 season, and blame should not be put on one individual. But the time has come for change throughout the franchise as we start the journey to assess and build this team for next season and beyond.
"Everyone in this franchise owes a great deal of gratitude to what Mike and his staff have done. We wish him the best."
Woodson was named the Knicks' interim coach on March 14, 2012 after the firing of Mike D'Antoni and guided New York to a record of 18-6 down the stretch to earn a playoff berth and a full-time contract.
In two-plus seasons as Knicks coach, Woodson posted a record of 109-79. Last spring's playoff series victory was the first for the Knicks since 2000.
Woodson first joined the Knicks as an assistant coach in 2011 after spending six seasons as the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks. He guided the Hawks to a record of 206-286, improving the club's win total each year with postseason berths in each of his final three years.

So, both would have to stay outside and be open to vandalism or theft.
Wednesday, I'm on a long, flat road and see my daughter-in-law pass by, heading to work. Then a pickup comes behind me. I watch as he passes then happen to gaze into the mirror and all I see is flashing lights. If the truck had pulled over behind me, he would have protected me. But, he chose to pass first then pull over in front of me. Fortunately, there was a shoulder we could both pull onto so the ambulance could pass. Close call!
Today I went to a less traveled road but it seems people just don't pay attention on the weekends. A small moving truck was passing me when I suddenly saw a car pulling out of a street on the left. That would have meant both the truck and the car would hit head on. Again, I was lucky to have a shoulder and pulled off the road to give the truck a lane to avoid the crash. I put my hand up to tell the woman in the car to stop but she looked dumbfounded.
I don't know about you guys, but I always look both ways, even when I'm turning right. But, the schools around here have been teaching driver's ed in parking lots for at least 15 years and people just aren't learning the fundamentals. This could be very hazardous to my health!

How To Chop, Dice, and Mince an Onion
There are very few savory recipes that don't begin with a chopped onion or that contain minced herbs or garlic. For a new cook, terms like "medium chop" or "small dice" can be confusing. Medium compared to what? How small is small? And how much trouble can you get into if you small chop something when the recipe says to mince?
What's the Difference Between Chop, Dice, and Mince?
Sometimes the words chop and dice are used interchangeably, but technically the word dice is used for smaller pieces and the word chop is used for larger pieces.
You seldom see the term large dice, but you will see large chop and small dice rather frequently. Dice can also refer to cutting vegetable into cubes of a specific size while chop is less precise. In general, chop is more casual and has more leeway while dice is more specific.
The word mince means a very small dice.
From left to right, above: large chop, medium chop, small chop (diced), and minced.
How Big is a Dice? How Small is a Mince?
How do you know how big or small something is supposed to be? If the recipe writer feels it matters, usually they will also include a measurement, like 3/4" dice. Again, we see the word dice here to indicate that this is a very specific direction. But if the sizing has some leeway, they will say either large, medium or small chop. Unfortunately, these sizes aren't standardized so it's hard to give measurements.
Large chop - For me, when a recipe says large chop, I usually make it roughly the size of a nickel.
Medium Chop - Medium chop is about half the size of a nickel.
Diced (Small Chop) - Small chop is about half of medium chop, perhaps a quarter inch to a side.
Minced - Mince is very fine, as small as I can get it.
What About When a Recipe Calls For "Chunks"?
Most recipes will ask you to either mince, fine (or small) chop or dice, medium chop, or large chop your vegetables, but occasionally they will call for chunks. This is usually reserved for when the vegetables need to be in fairly large pieces, such as for stock. So when you encounter chunk or rough chop in a recipe, you can feel confident simply chopping up your vegetables, keeping the pieces roughly the same size and quite large.
Large chop.
Small chop, or dice.
When Is the Size Really Important?
The size of the vegetables in a recipe is very important and a good recipe writer has probably taken great care to select the properly sized dice or chop. The size of the vegetables matters for many reasons, but primarily it influences how long they take to cook, the overall texture in the final dish, and taste of the final dish. A larger piece of red pepper, for instance, is going to cook more slowly than a smaller piece. It's going to taste different, as well, and have a different texture and mouthfeel.
If the vegetable is pungent (such as garlic or chili) then you usually want smaller pieces, especially if the vegetable isn't going to be cooked. Raw onions, too, should be sliced thinly or minced finely but cooked onions are sweeter, so they can stand being larger.
Can I Change the Size if I Want?
In general, you should always follow the chopping instructions in a recipe especially if they are very specific. With experience you will begin to get a feel for how big or small to make your chop. Until then, picture the finished dish in your head when prepping the vegetables. Consider if you want the pieces to be big and chewy, or if smaller pieces will fit better. Think about if you would like to bite into a large piece of your vegetable or if it would be better if it were smaller and less obvious.

Manchester police officer returns to desk duty on bail
MANCHESTER - A bail modification will permit a Manchester police officer, who was suspended without pay after his arraignment Jan. 23 on two simple assault charges involving his wife, to return to work, but Officer Adam Beland will be restricted to duties within the building.
Beland had requested the modification of bail conditions, which barred possession of a weapon, saying that while suspended without pay he was unable to pay his apartment rent and to meet his child support obligations.
Police Capt. Robert Cunha said Wednesday that no date has been set for Beland, 28, to return to work, but when he does he will be issued a weapon and ammunition after entering the building and will have to surrender both before leaving.
Beland pleaded innocent Jan. 23 in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to the assault charges that allege he shoved his wife from behind and put his left arm around her neck and pushed her out the door of his Country Club Drive apartment.
A seven-year member of the Manchester Police Department, Beland is free on $1,000 personal recognizance bail, with a trial set for April 29. Bail conditions still bar contact with the alleged victim.

Surge in Loans Puts Beijing in a Quandary
Stubborn Lending Spree Confronts Leaders With Choice of Cracking Down, and Risk Slowing Growth—or Face Crisis Later
BEIJING—A surge in lending that defied Beijing's efforts to mop up liquidity presents China's new leaders with the tough prospect of risking a budding growth revival by cracking down too hard to head off a bad-loan crisis.
China has been on a credit binge since the global financial crisis of 2008, initially a deliberate strategy by leaders to finance investment and support economic growth. But the growing level of debt—domestic debt has topped 200% of gross domestic product, by some estimates—has prompted concerns that China...

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
LuAnn Nowill,
v. Docket No. CR-08-558
State Board of Retirement,
Appearance for Petitioner:
Pro Se
16 Elm Avenue
West Springfield, MA 01089
Appearance for Respondent:
Melinda E. Troy, Esquire
Legal Department
State Board of Retirement
One Ashburton Place, RM 1219
Boston, MA 02108
Administrative Magistrate:
Judithann Burke
Registered Nurse II at Holyoke Soldier's Home who works on Alzheimer's/ Dementia Unit is entitled to Group 2 classification as she is "required to have the care, custody, instruction or other supervision of…persons who are mentally ill or mentally defective…".
Pursuant to G.L. c. 32 s. 16(4), the Petitioner, LuAnn Nowill, is appealing from the August 1, 2008 decision of the Respondent, State Board of Retirement, (SBR), denying her request to be classified in Group 2 for retirement purposes. (Exhibit 1). The appeal was timely filed. (Exhibit 2). The Petitioner elected to waive her right to a hearing and the parties submitted their cases on the documents. (Exhibits 3 and 4). The last of the filings was received at the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA) on January 5, 2009. Eleven (11) exhibits were marked. An Exhibit List has been provided at page 6 of this Decision. Both parties also filed pre-hearing memoranda of law. The Petitioner's memorandum has been marked as "Attachment A", and, the SBR's memorandum has been marked as "Attachment B".
Based upon the documents submitted by the parties in the above-entitled matter, I hereby render the following findings of fact:
1. The Petitioner, LuAnn Nowill, d.o.b. 06/06/1953, is employed as a Registered Nurse II at the Holyoke Soldier's Home (HSH). From May 2005 to the present, she has been assigned to the "Alzheimer's Unit", also known as the "Dementia Unit". (Exhibits 9 and 11).
2. The Petitioner is the Charge Nurse on the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift at HSH. She is supervised by a Registered Nurse Supervisor and an Assistant Registered Nurse Supervisor. As a Registered Nurse II, the Petitioner performs primary direct nursing care to the twenty-five (25) residents on the unit. This is not a supervisory position, according to the Department of Human Resources (DHR) Classification Specifications. (Id. and Exhibit 6).
3. The dementia residents on the Petitioner's unit have progressively declining memories and intellectual functioning. The Alzheimer's residents on the unit have short-term memory loss, confusion, disturbances in sleep resulting in wandering and other adverse behaviors at night, anxiety, irritability, aggressiveness, anger outbursts, suspiciousness and paranoia. The Alzheimer's residents also experience a progressive loss of the ability to function independently, loss of the ability to maintain social skills, disorientation to time and place, loss of language and motor deficits that cause frequent falls and bladder and bowel incontinence. (Attachment A and Exhibit 7).
4. The Alzheimer's Unit at HSH is a "secured" or "locked" unit. The unit houses twenty- five (25) male residents all of whom wear alarm bracelets that activate an alarm on the locked entry door if the door is breached. It is common for the Alzheimer's residents to exhibit "exit seeking" behavior and attempt to leave the unit. The Petitioner and other staff members have been accosted when they have attempted to redirect the residents away from the door and back onto the unit or when they have physically intervened in order to prevent a resident from leaving the unit. (Id.).
5. The Petitioner regularly assists the Certified Nurse Aids on the unit with personal care and feeding, and, she intervenes daily in situations wherein a resident is verbally and or physically combative with a caregiver. The residents have frequently displayed aberrant behavior such as: throwing a chair through a window; throwing food or liquid; fighting another resident with fists or a walker; "whipping" a caregiver with an article of clothing; and employing sexual and degrading talk. (Id.).
6. Many of the residents on the unit have been "Section 12'd," meaning that they have been legally determined to be a threat/risk to themselves or others, during their residency. These patients have necessitated transfer to the care of the ER Crisis Team or to an acute psychiatric facility. The Petitioner has been directly involved in such crisis situations, and, she has been directly involved in the decision-making and transfer processes. (Id.).
7. All of the residents are on some psychiatric medication or another. The Petitioner is responsible for dispensing the medications to the residents. These medications include: antidepressants; anti-anxiety medications; anti-psychotics and sedatives. The residents' psychiatric illnesses are coupled with a vast array of medical conditions that require the Petitioner's nursing expertise. On the Petitioner's shift, some residents are prone to "sun-down" behavior. This behavior is particular to the Alzheimer's patients who become more psychotic in the early evening. The medications administered by the Petitioner are vital to the management of these residents' psychiatric and physical conditions. It is necessary for the Petitioner to approach each resident with an awareness of the potential of bodily harm to herself, but with enough control and coaxing to encourage the resident to take his medication. Sometimes, a resident will refuse his medication and the Petitioner will be subject to adverse behavior for this reason. (Id.).
8. On or about June 18, 2008, the Petitioner requested that the SBR classify her in Group 2 for retirement purposes. (Exhibits 5 and 11).
9. The SBR denied the Petitioner's request and classified her in Group 1 on July 31, 2008. (Exhibit 1).
10. The Petitioner filed a timely appeal. (Exhibit 2).
After a careful review of all of the evidence in this case, I have concluded that the Petitioner is entitled to prevail in this appeal. She has met her burden of proving that her "regular and major duties require her to have the care, custody, instruction or other supervision of…persons who are mentally ill or mentally defective…," as is required in G.L. c. 32, § 3(2)(g). The SBR denied the Petitioner's request to be classified in Group 2 because the HSH provides medical and not mental health services to the resident veterans. This is not a valid argument that would serve to exclude the Petitioner from classification in Group 2. It should be noted that treatment in or by a mental health provider or ones residence in a mental hospital are not requirements in the statute. The uncontroverted evidence in this case is that all of the twenty five (25) residents on the secure HSH Alzheimer's/Dementia Unit are on psychiatric medications along with medications for physical issues. Further, all of these men have cognitive and social difficulties. There is a great deal of resistance to care and acting out due to the residents' mental confusion. It is clear that these residents are mentally defective, a term employed here without moral or social judgment. They are in the HSH because of their inability to care for themselves, in large part because of their mental infirmities and related behavioral aberrations. Contra, Jacqueline Miers v. State Board of Retirement, CR-06-441 (DALA 2002) a case cited by the Respondent, where the employee worked as a Certified Nurse Aide on a unit which housed patients with neuromuscular disorders, some, but not all of whom, suffered from depression and a few who had attempted suicide. Care of a scattered few mentally ill or defective persons was not part of
Miers' "regular and major duties".
The SRB also denied the Petitioner's request for Group 2 classification because she is a Charge Nurse who oversees other staff members and completes the required documentation for each shift. The Petitioner's role as a Charge Nurse does not exclude her from Group 2. The Petitioner is a Registered Nurse II, a professional, not supervisory, job in the state's Registered Nurse Series. Further, as the Respondent has pointed out in its pre-hearing memorandum, group classification depends upon an employee's current job duties, and not job title, at the time of retirement. Maddocks v. Contributory Retirement Appeal Board, 369 Mass. 488 (1976). The Petitioner works on a locked ward. She provides hands-on care nursing care to the residents at HSH. She also assists the Certified Nurse Aids in the feeding and personal care of the residents. She is responsible for dispensing the medications to the residents. She must be on high alert and monitor the safety of the residents and her staff. Her position is more appropriately classified in Group 2, rather than the catch-all, clerical and administrative class of jobs listed in Group 1.
Accordingly, the decision of the State Board of Retirement is hereby reversed. This matter is remanded to said board for purposes of classifying LuAnn Nowill in Group 2.

Three Fisher Cat hurlers combine to pitch shutoutStaff Report
May 18. 2013 11:50PM
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats couldn't have asked for much more from their pitchers Saturday night.

Sean Nolin, Scott Gracey and Tommy Hottovy didn't allow a run as the Fisher Cats posted a 5-0 road victory against New Britain.
Nolin, New Hampshire's starting pitcher, held New Britain (20-22) to four hits in six innings, and lowered his ERA to 1.17. He struck out five and walked two.

Gracey didn't allow a hit and struck out three in two innings, and Hottovy struck out three of the four batters he faced in the ninth. He surrendered one hit.
Second baseman John Tolisano hit a two-run home run and designated hitter Kevin Ahrens scored twice to lead the New Hampshire offense. Tolisano finished the game with three RBIs.

Catcher Sean Ochinko and center fielder Kevin Pillar each collected two hits for the Fisher Cats. New Hampshire had nine hits in the game, five of which went for extra bases.
The Fisher Cats (21-22) opened the scoring in the third, when Ahrens doubled, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Tolisano's groundout.

New Hampshire added to its lead when Tolisano hit a two-run home run in the eighth. Ahrens, who reached base on a walk, also scored on the homer.
Tolisano's home run was part of a three-run inning that included Clint Robinson's RBI single that scored Pillar.

The Fisher Cats capped the scoring in the ninth when Adam Loewen scored from third on Pillar's single.
Right fielder Daniel Ortiz had two of New Britain's five hits. New Britain's Logan Darnell allowed one run and three hits in seven innings, but took the loss.
