What's it like to paint outside for a year?
Traveling, hiking, meeting new people, finding inspiration… maybe it's not that bad!
You certainly get some ups and downs when painting outside. That variety of experience inspires artists to get outside, and is one reason why I pursued a year of plein air painting in a project called Perpetual Search. This is my most recent and largest project to date and is made possible with a career development grant from the Central MN Arts Board & McKnight Foundation. I attended the plein air convention in Monterey, CA, took a workshop from Andy Evansen in Hastings, MN, and participated in 5 plein air festivals in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The project culminates in this exhibit. I was fortunate to be able to travel to some inspiring places, meet and hang out with many incredible painters, and sneak a few paintings in. Around 225 to be exact.
19 straight days spent painting.
I am extremely grateful for all of the support and for being able to participate in the 5 plein air festivals - the chance to hang out with like-minded folks is a treasure no matter what field you are in. I was very pleased to receive some purchase awards and some artistic awards, and being able to set aside time to paint in new and exciting environments is priceless. Events were held in Red Wing, Duluth, Aitkin, Hudson, and Grand Marais.
They were rewarding on a personal level, but I was also participating as part of a business plan to gain national attention for my work. In my recent blog post titled "5 Ways for Painters to Gain National Attention", I shared my business plan for doing exactly that. Part of the plan was to participate in these local events, hopefully win some awards, and catch the eye of national plein air events, galleries, and media outlets.
A lot of times you draw up these plans and they sound good on paper but reality is a completely different beast altogether! With the encouragement of some fellow artists, I applied to a national plein air painting event in Palm Beach / Jupiter, Florida. It's a juried event – only 50 artists of hundreds of applicants are accepted, it boasts a high number of sales, and has over $10k in awards including $5k for best of show.
I am very pleased and incredibly honored to announce that I received my acceptance letter last week – I'll be heading to Florida in March! As a result of winning Best Of Show at the Duluth Event, I was also featured in an article on Outdoorpainter.com, written by Bob Bahr.
So I guess the plan worked! It came together... somehow. I think it is due to happenstance and a lot of luck rather than a perfect strategy, but either way I'll take it! This Florida plein air event is icing on the cake for what I would consider to be an amazing year of painting that stretched me and humbled me in so many ways. I am so grateful to the CMAB and McKnight Foundation for funding this project; all of the collectors who purchase my work; to all of the amazing artists who encourage each other so generously; and of course to my wife Mallory for letting me chase this dream of being an artist!
This has to be the most excited I have ever been to unveil a body of work to collectors, fellow artists, friends, and family. The exhibition will feature collections, with all of the paintings from each event location being showcased together on one wall. I will do a plein air demonstration early in the day from 1230 - 3, and give an artist talk later in the evening. If you are looking to add a painting to your collection, I would recommend previewing the paintings online and then attending the early viewing party from 3-530, when it will hopefully be a little less congested. There will be light snacks available, with wine and beer available for purchase. The exhibit will be up from October 24th – December 5th, and if you can't make the reception on October 24th, there will be another reception during the art crawl: November 6th from 5-9pm.
Kate Kompas of the St. Cloud Times also wrote a wonderful article about the project. Check it out here!

Hey Thanks so much David – it was great meeting you too, really enjoy your work, especially those magnificent murals up at Grand Portage National Monument. Thanks for the nice comment – see you next summer in Grand Marais if not before!
Dan, I think you are my new "hero"'! Enjoyed meeting you in Grand Marais, best of luck down in Florida-watch out for the aligators.
I have your day on my calendar. See you next week.

Wireless at West Point
By William Jackson
U.S. Military Academy classrooms now have SMC wireless access points. Thomas Maney, left, and other cadets in the class of 2006 are the first to be issued notebook PCs with wireless cards.
Ted Spiegal
Officers of the future use IT in class now, in the field later
Each freshman at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point last fall received a Dell Latitude C840 notebook PC for use on a new, wireless classroom network.
'The military is relying more and more on IT,' said Col. Donald Welch, associate dean for information and educational technology. He said the notebooks introduce plebes to technology they will be using in the field, and in the meantime the academy will make the most of it for education.
'About five years ago we started looking at wireless as a way to enhance education,' Welch said. 'The older IEEE 802.11b wireless standard had some significant bandwidth constraints. We knew when 802.11a came out, that was the way we wanted to go.'
For the fall semester, the academy installed wireless access points from SMC Networks Inc. of Irvine, Calif., in 95 classrooms at Thayer Hall, the largest academic building. Freshman English and math classes used their PCs to share work and run simulations while the academy evaluated how to support the network.
It was successful enough that psychology classes have joined the pilot, and the entire campus'six academic buildings, the library and student union'will be connected with 369 access points by summer. The number could go as high as 500 as new applications come along, Welch said.
Although every classroom will have wireless access this year, it will be several years before all are used, as the class of 2006'the first to be issued notebooks'moves through.
Booting up in 1987
Student computers are nothing new at West Point. Cadets have had desktop PCs for 16 years, and the barracks have Fast Ethernet connections. Each classroom also has wired network connections for the instructors.
'We've spent quite a bit of money upgrading the barracks,' Welch said.
A fast connection and a PC can be a temptation to downloading things like pirated music files, however.
'We look for it and take disciplinary action,' Welch said. But the academy treats music piracy as an ethical issue rather than a technical one. 'One of the things we teach here is values,' he said. 'We want to instill in them that stealing in cyberspace is still stealing.'
The move of student computers into the classroom had to wait not only for mature wireless technology but also for notebooks that could equal desktop PCs in length of life and functionality. Cadets get only one computer for their four years at the academy.
The senior advantage
'We had gotten to the point where we could do four years on a desktop system,' Welch said, but notebooks are only now approaching that kind of longevity. They will be upgraded between the students' sophomore and junior years.
Once the decision was made to go ahead with mobile computing, 'installing a wireless network was not that hard,' Welch said.
The West Point application was straightforward, said Tony Stramandinoli, SMC's marketing director, using SMC2755W EZ Connect access points and SMC2735W PC Cards. The access point retails for $299 and the card for $149; SMC sells them bundled for $199.
The 802.11a standard has higher bandwidth'a theoretical maximum of 54 Mbps compared with 11 Mbps for the 802.11b standard'but it sacrifices range. The high-bandwidth access points have a range of only about 60 feet compared with up to 300 feet for their 802.11b cousins. Putting an access point in every classroom eliminates the range restriction, however.
Nor should network congestion be a problem. The largest classes at West Point have only 18 students. Counting the instructor, each access point will have 19 users at most. The access points are designed to handle up to 64.
'It's not a lot for sharing 54 Mbps of bandwidth,' Stramandinoli said.
Of course, they won't be getting the full 54 Mbps. Real-world wireless access averages about half of theoretical throughput, and in the West Point environment 'they're getting about 22-Mbps to 28-Mbps connections,' Stramandinoli said. That's a long way from the 100-Mbps rates back in the barracks, but 'pretty good for wireless,' he said.
The users don't actually share the bandwidth. Rather than each user having one-nineteenth of the available pipe, each connection bursts to the full 22 Mbps or 28 Mbps while the others wait in line for the circuit to open.
'That's a basic of Ethernet, not of wireless technology,' Stramandinoli said.
The main hurdle in setting a wireless network up at the academy was security. 'We're a part of the Defense Department, and we have to comply with DOD security standards,' Welch said. In fact, he said, West Point took the lead in establishing those standards: 'We helped to find out what you need to do to secure a wireless network.' And because the 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy standard is weak, 'you pretty much have to buy a third-party solution.'
Ivy walls, ID walls
The academy settled on the WirelessWall software suite from Cranite Systems Inc. of San Jose, Calif. The suite includes a policy server to set access policies, a controller that separates wired and wireless networks and handles encryption, and client software for authentication and encryption.
WirelessWall uses X.509 certificates so a client can verify the network's identity before exchanging credentials with the access controller through an encrypted link. It follows the Advanced Encryption Standard with 128-bit keys at Layer 2.
'We're trading off a little bit of latency' for the strong encryption, Welch said. But AES is an efficient algorithm with little impact, even on mobile devices.
That makes the wireless architecture more secure than the wired environment, 'so we are introducing no vulnerabilities,' Welch said. 'Our biggest problem is on the client.'
The cadets own their computers and can load their own software, which sometimes interferes with the access and security software. The academy has faced this dilemma since 1987 on the wired network, 'so we have to climb the learning curve again. We are investigating ways to harden the configuration,' Welch said.

Using genes to guide treatment
Art by Lakyn Shepard/Art Editor
Brian Spurlock
bspurgbs@uab.edu
The typical difference between two humans is 0.6 percent of all of our DNA. Along with chance and our environment it is that 0.6 percent that decides everything which makes us unique.
That 0.6 percent can mean redheads are less responsive to anesthesia. Subtle DNA changes in a tumor can decide whether if a patient responds to chemotherapy. Some people's 0.6 percent has given them a disease no one has ever seen before.
Enter precision medicine.
The Hugh Kaul Precision Medicine Institute (PMI) was founded in 2014 with a $7 million grant from the Hugh Kaul Foundation. Its goal is to identify treatments based on every individual's need, reading it from their DNA.
Matthew Might, director of PMI, journey in precision medicine began when his son Bertrand became the first person in the world diagnosed with a rare genetic disease which caused him to start losing his vision, have seizuresand experience developmental delay.
Might has made his life's work helping others with rare diseases find that same relief as his son.
"It…took a person like Matt to have done this journey as a driven parent, but to also have come from science and academia to sort of bridge the gap," said Andy Crouse, director of Research and Operations at PMI."What's been great about this team with Matt is, it's taking that next step. Not just saying what's wrong, which is important, but how we can help after that."
Word of mouth is crucial. Patients from all over the world hear about the Rare Diseases program and reach out to Might's team.
"I had a case from Norway this summer," said Jordan Barnham, Precision Medicine Specialist on Might's team. "People just find us."
From there they enter a "pipeline" to identify how the team can best help them.
Part of the team's mission is to connect patients with mutations in the same gene or pathway with each other and with scientists who might be able to help.
Another part is poring over the research for everything that written about that gene or variant, said Lindsay Jenkins, Precision Medicine Specialist and senior in genetic and genomics sciences and neuroscience.
Jenkins and Barnham are part of a team of three undergraduate students who, along with an artificial intelligence developed by the institute's computer scientists,search databases and Google for hints of a drug, treatment or pathway that might offer relief to patients.
"Our goal is to hopefully take a patient from when they first come to us to some kind of therapeutic or treatment within a year," Barnham said.
"I think the trust that is put into us as undergraduates in this position is not something you're going to find anywhere else," said Jenkins. "We're the ones who find a treatment for our patients and propose it in a meeting."
One of the program's aspirations, according to Barnham, is to be a major leading center in drug repurposing and therapeutics for undiagnosed diseases.
Specialists do not have a maximum case load, though Crouse said he admits that may have to change as they grow.
"This group loves doing this," Crouse said. "It's not like 'I only dedicate my three hours.' It's something they think about all the time. If we gave them more, they would just do more."
All three used the word "rewarding" when talking about their work. They get to see the difference they make in real people's lives, and they come across as immensely grateful.
The institute also boasts branches for pharmacogenomics, which are interactions between the 0.6 percent, medicines used to treat a variety of diseases, and precision cancer research.
"We have several more patients starting or nearing treatment, and we've asked them to let us follow their stories," Might said. "I'm hoping we'll have more shareable success stories in the next few months."
In the meantime, the institute is actively encouraging people to reach out if they want to get involved or if they know patients who may benefit from one of these programs, Barnham said.

"Freddy's Dead" redirects here. For the Curtis Mayfield song, see Freddie's Dead.
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare is a 1991 American slasher film and the sixth installment in the Nightmare on Elm Street series. It is the sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child and was originally supposed to be the concluding chapter of the series; Wes Craven's New Nightmare was released after The Final Nightmare but takes place outside the series canon. A canonical sequel, Freddy vs. Jason, was released later. This was New Line Cinema's first 3D film release. Critical reception to the film was very negative upon release. The release of the film was timed for September 13 in 1991 being a friday the 13th, as is the practice for fellow slasher franchise Friday the 13th.[2]

Robert Englund reprises his role as Freddy Krueger. The film stars Lisa Zane, Yaphet Kotto, Breckin Meyer, Shon Greenblatt, Ricky Dean Logan, Lezlie Deane, and Tobe Sexton. Additionally, several well-known actors make cameo appearances in the film, including Johnny Depp (whose screen debut was in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street), Roseanne Barr, Tom Arnold, and Alice Cooper. Iggy Pop sings the title song, which plays during the end credits over a montage of scenes from the previous Nightmare films.
In June 1999, ten years after the previous film, Freddy Krueger has returned and killed nearly every child and teenager in the town of Springwood, Ohio. The only surviving teenager, John Doe, is confronted by Freddy in a dream. John wakes up just outside the Springwood city limits but, due to a head injury, does not remember who he is or why he is there.
At a shelter for troubled youth, three of the residents—Spencer, Carlos, and Tracy—plot to run away to California. The police find John and take him to the shelter, where he becomes a patient of Dr. Maggie Burroughs. Burroughs notices a newspaper clipping from Springwood in John's pocket. To attempt to cure John's amnesia, she plans a road trip to Springwood. In an attempt to run away, Tracy, Carlos, and Spencer stow away in the van, but they are discovered when John has a hallucination and almost wrecks the van just outside Springwood.
Tracy, Spencer, and Carlos try to leave Springwood but first rest at a nearby abandoned house. The house is 1428 Elm Street, Freddy Krueger's former home. John and Maggie visit the Springwood orphanage and discover that Freddy had a child. John believes he is that child, because Freddy allowed him to live. Back on Elm Street, Carlos and Spencer fall asleep and are killed by Freddy. Tracy is almost killed, but is awakened by Burroughs. John, who went into the dream world with Tracy to try to help Spencer, is still asleep. Burroughs and Tracy take John back to the shelter. On their way back, Krueger attacks John in his dream. Before killing John, Krueger reveals that his child is a girl; as John dies, he tells this to Burroughs. Tracy and Burroughs return to the shelter, but they find that no one remembers John, Spencer, or Carlos except for Doc, who has learned to control his dreams. Burroughs finds her adoption papers and realizes that she is Freddy's daughter. Her birth name was Katherine Krueger. Her name was changed to Maggie Burroughs when her father was arrested and subsequently murdered.
Doc discovers that Freddy's power comes from dream demons who continually revive him, and that Freddy can be killed if he is pulled into the real world. Burroughs decides that she will be the one to enter Freddy's mind and pull him into the real world. Once in the dream world, she puts on a pair of 3D glasses and enters Freddy's mind. In his mind, she learns that Freddy was teased as a child, was abused by his foster father, inflicted self-abuse as a teenager (portrayed by Tobe Sexton), and murdered his wife. Freddy was given the power to become immortal by fiery demons. Burroughs struggles to pull Freddy into the real world but eventually succeeds.
Burroughs and Freddy end up in hand-to-hand combat against one another; she uses several weapons confiscated from patients at the shelter. Enraged by the knowledge of what he has done, Burroughs tears off Freddy's clawed glove and stabs him through the stomach with it, embedding the glove's claws into a steel support beam and leaving Freddy suspended above the ground. Tracy tosses Maggie a pipe bomb which Burroughs throws into Freddy's chest. She says "Happy Father's Day", kisses him, and runs. The three dream demons fly out of Freddy after the pipe bomb kills him. Burroughs smiles at Tracy and Doc; she is confident that her father is dead.

DevelopmentEdit
In the original script, 15-year-old Jacob Johnson (son of the previous installment's main character Alice Johnson) is the major character, and many of the dream warriors from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors return to aid Jacob in defeating Freddy after he kills Alice.[4] This idea was later discarded. Peter Jackson also wrote a screenplay that was not used; his story was about teenagers who did not see Freddy as a threat and took sleeping pills to enter Freddy's world. Jackson's script also included a police officer put into a comatose state to permanently be in Freddy's realm.[5]
John Carl Buechler was the chief special make-up effects artist for the film, returning to the series after serving the same role in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. He also contributed to the film's 3-D "Freddyvision" climax.[6]
The last ten minutes of the film are in 3D. To cue the audience to put on their 3D glasses, Maggie is seen to put on her 3D glasses in the film. The effect was eliminated for the VHS and television releases, with the exception of the UK and French rental version and the US Laserdisc version. The DVD box set released in 1999 reinstated the 3D effect and included two pairs of 3D glasses.
MarketingEdit
As a publicity stunt for both Freddy's Dead and the comic storylines that were still being released around the film's cinematic release, New Line Cinema held a mock funeral for Freddy Krueger at Hollywood Forever Cemetery[5] in Los Angeles, including attendants from the film series such as Alice Cooper, Lezlie Deane, Shon Greenblatt, Ricky Dean Logan, Breckin Meyer, Tobe Sexton, Lisa Zane, Lisa Wilcox and Whit Hertford. Andy Mangels and Rachel Talalay were among others present.[7] On encouragement by New Line Cinema, the Los Angeles mayor at the time, Tom Bradley, declared September 13 to be 'Freddy Krueger Day', but this move was heavily criticized by for glorifying a mass murderer, with Robert Englund adding that "we have to separate crime reality from movie escapism".[2]
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare made $12,966,525 in its opening weekend,[1] which was the highest opening weekend for the series until the release of Freddy vs. Jason.[8] After its initial run, the film grossed a total of $34,872,033 in the United States, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film in the series.[9]
Reviews for the film were generally negative and some critics named it one of the "worst films of 1991." It currently holds a 20% positive rating on film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 30 reviews.[10] Austin Chronicle wrote, "Freddy Krueger ... has devolved from the horrific, ill-defined phantasm posited in the original film, into a bland and annoyingly predictable boogeyman loved by kids everywhere."[11]
The song "Why Was I Born? (Freddy's Dead)", written for the film, was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song.
The soundtrack for the film was released on September 24, 1991, by Warner Bros. Records. Although not included on the soundtrack, the song "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly is featured in the film.
Goo Goo Dolls – "I'm Awake Now"
Junk Monkeys – "Everything Remains the Same"
Goo Goo Dolls – "You Know What I Mean"
Johnny Law – "Remember the Night"
Chubb Rock – "Treat 'em Right"
Iggy Pop – "Why Was I Born? (Freddy's Dead)"
Johnny Law – "Hold Me Down"
Goo Goo Dolls – "Two Days in February"
Young Lords – "Give Me a Beat"
Fates Warning – "Nothing Left to Say"
On September 3, 1991, Varèse Sarabande released an album of Brian May's score.
Comic spin-offEdit
Innovation Comics published a three-issue comic adaptation of the film. An alternate version of the third issue was published in 3D to recreate the effect used in the film. The series was also published in the trade paperback format. Innovation followed the adaptation with A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Beginning, which served as a direct sequel to Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. In the sequel, Maggie Burroughs continues to have nightmares of her father, Freddy Krueger. Burroughs travels back to Springwood with Tracy, another survivor from the film, to research Freddy's life leading up to his death at the hands of the Springwood parents. Only the first two issues of the series were released before Innovation Comics declared bankruptcy—the third issue went unpublished, and the story remains incomplete. Series writer Andy Mangels made the original script for the third issue available on his website.[12]

Today Google[x] announced their next project- a smart contact lens that detects glucose levels from your tears. Basically, it's an extremely small wireless chip and a miniaturized glucose sensor sandwiched between two layers of contact lens material. The lens measures and relays your glucose levels around-the-clock, making diabetes management a significantly easier task. Soon enough, diabetics can say good bye to finger pricking.
So it's not a contact lens version of Google Glass... yet.
Google is already testing working prototypes of their lens and has begun talks with the FDA. Project co-founders Brian Otis and Babak Parviz say their next step is to explore "integrating tiny LED lights that could light up to indicate glucose levels having crossed above or below certain thresholds." Naturally, this technology is still in it's infancy, but given the exponential rate at which technology is advancing, squeezing in an array of LEDs could happen sooner than we think.

Francis McCarthy was born in Philadelphia in 1923, he lived and painted most of his life in Philadelphia although a great many of his pictures came from his world travels. He began art lessons at the unusually young age of 3 at the Friends Neighborhood Guild and his talent was constantly nurtured there and at home. In the 40's Albert Barnes met Francis at the Guild and understood his gifts. Barnes became his encouraging patron, then McCarthy studied at the Philadelphia College of Art, Barnes Foundation, Grand Chaumiere (Paris, France), and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. McCarthy was an instructor of adults and children at the Fleisher Art Memorial for fifty-one years from 1953 onward and continued to teach drawing and painting in Fleisher's evening program until his health began to fail just prior to the start of the Fall 2004 semester. His work is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Gallery in Washington DC, the Barnes Foundation, and other museums and private collections in America and Europe. McCarthydied in 2005.

For the stewards of the web out there, and by that i mean web developers, designers, and product managers some pretty big news emerged over the past 48 hours.
First Google announced their own browser rendering engine called Blink. Meaning, from 2007 up until now Chrome and the Open Source Chromium project has been developed on top of Webkit. Now Google has announced that they will branch WebKit and drive it on their own terms and in the direction of their choice.
Open Source people, don't worry Blink is of course also open source (Chromium and Mozilla have proved the benefits of leveraging the web community at large to harden your browser engine, and its clear that Google enjoys the benefits of their vibrant web community).
Second, right on the heels of that announcement Opera Software (disclaimer: Opera is the parent company of Skyfire.com where i work) announced that they are committed to the Chromium project and not WebKit. Meaning Opera is also all in on Blink.
In essence i see Blink as a clever marketing move that reflects that both Google and Opera will now be contributing to the same open source project, Chromium. My guess is that both of these companies see a reason for why Blink will need to diverge from the main Webkit.
If you read the official Chromium Blogpost on the announcement of Blink they provide some pretty good reasons for doing this move, from the point of view of keeping the Chromium codebase healthy and agile.


A wireless home network can be set up for use by a computer with any Windows operating system(OS). The tasks needed to connect a computer to the new network are different for each OS and are covered in other documents listed in the See also section.
This document provides a quick overview of how to setup a wireless network for your home. Most home networks are set up to allow multiple computer to share files and access the internet, however a network can be setup without internet access. To access the internet, you will need to establish service with an internet service provider (ISP). Most telephone and cable providers offer a high-speed DSL or cable connection. Some companies now offer a wireless 3G or 4G broadband connection that allow access to the internet without setting up a home network.
The big advantage of using a home network is security. You control access to the network by establishing passwords and encryption settings. A home network also allows you to share resources such as printers, file storage, and connections to wireless capable TVs and game consoles.
Once the network is set up, see the See also section at the end of this document for links to documents on connecting a computer to the network for the first time, and troubleshooting a lost network connection.
ISP Internet Service - High Speed Internet connection from an Internet Service Provider. This document assumes you already have already tested the internet connection by connecting the computer directly to the modem with a network cable.
Modem - Converts the signal from the ISP into a digital signal used by the router. The DSL or Cable modem is normally provided by the ISP.
Wireless Router - Manages the wireless signals to and from the computers and other devices on the network.
In some cases, the modem and router are combined into one device, and may be referred to as a wireless access point.
Computer with a network cable - Cable is needed while setting up the router and is then disconnected.
Wireless adapter for the computer. After the wireless network is set up, the computer will need a wireless adapter to communicate with the router. A wireless adapter is built into to most notebook, but external wireless adapters that plug into the USB port are available for desktop computers.
To configure the router, which is the communication center of your home network, connect the router to the modem, and temporarily connect the network cable from the computer to the wireless router. Follow the specific installation instructions that came with your router. The router and the computer must use the same communication protocals (802.11g or 802.11n). See the manufactures' documentation for information on software compatibility.
Turn the computer on and allow it to connect to the router.
Open Internet Explorer web browser and type in the URL address to connect to the router. See table below.
If prompted, enter the default router user name and password. See table above.
Follow the prompts to configure the router security settings.
Name for the router (SSID). This will be the name of your network. Do not use the default name.
Type of security. WEP and WAP are the most common types. Never set up a without security.
Password or passphrase. Never use blank password.
Administrator name and password. This is the name of the person who is allowed to change the router settings. If you want to leave the default user name (admin), be sure to change the password.
Test the router connection while the network cable is still connected.
While the computer is still connected to the router with the network cable, test the internet connection by trying to browse to multiple web sites.
Shutdown and restart the computer. This allows the computer to connect to dynamically created IP addresses.
Open Internet Explorer, type the URL for a reputable web site (for example, www.hp.com or www.microsoft.com) in the address field, and then press the enter key.
If the web site is displayed, the computer is connected to the network router, and the router is connected to the internet. The network is successfully set up.
If the computer cannot connect to the router or a web site, cycle the power to all of the network devices and allow them to establish connections dynamically.
Unplug the power to the router and the modem, and turn off the computer.
Reconnect power to the modem and wait while the modem resets the connection. LEDs will glow when connection is established.
Reconnect power to the router and wait while the router resets the connections. LEDs will glow when connection is established.
Turn on the computer and wait while it starts into Windows.
Open the Internet Explorer browser and connect to a web site on the internet.
If the computer can connect to the router but cannot connect to a web site, adjust the Internet Explorer Automatic Configuration options.
On the Internet Explorer menu, select Tools, and then click Internet Options.
On the Connections tab, verify the Never dial a connection option is selected.
Select LAN setting, verify the Automatically detect settings option is selected.
Once you have setup a new wireless home network and can connect to the internet using a network cable, you should test the wireless connection.
This section is a brief introduction on making a first time connection to a wireless network. For complete details on establishing a wireless network connection for the first time, see the documents in the See also section.
To test the wireless connection, disconnect the network cable between the computer and the router, and do the following steps.

This six month pilot-project will investigate what would be needed to create a system of local content caching, in which a content provider can notify a Local Content Cache of new (or updated or deleted) content. This content will then be collected by that Local Content Cache. The cache can then be used by a search engine, or any other content "user" such as an intelligent agent, for its own purposes. A proof of concept implementation of the software needed for a Content Provider, a Local Content Cache and Content Users, such as search engines and intelligent agents, will be part of this pilot-project.

N v F: Taking pre-marital wealth into account
N v F [2011] EWHC 586 (Fam) dealt with "the vexed question of how the court should, when exercising its powers to award ancillary relief, reflect, if at all, the property that the husband bought to the marriage back in 1993".
The facts: The parties were married in 1993, at which time the husband ("H") had assets worth £2.116m, which equated to £4.2m today. It was agreed that the assets in the case now amount to about £9.714m in value ("This is a not very big money case", said Mr Justice Mostyn).
H did not ask that all of the value of his pre-marital property be reflected in the result, proposing that the wife ("W") should receive £4.17m out of the £9.714m, or 43%. W argued that there should be no departure from equality, on four grounds:
1. That H's pre-marital property had now merged with matrimonial property signifying, in effect, an agreement by H to share it with W;
2. That H had "alienated" certain sums during the marriage;
3. That H had since 2007 eschewed the exploitation of a substantial earning capacity in the financial sector in favour of a lowlier paid job as a schoolmaster; and
4. That H had conducted the litigation unfairly, and had caused unnecessary costs to be incurred.
As a result, the parties were £687,000 apart. "Not very surprisingly," said Mr Justice Mostyn (at paragraph 5), "the combined costs of the parties amount to £652,000. It seems to be an iron law of ancillary relief proceedings that the final difference between the parties is approximately equal to the costs that they have spent."
Held: After reviewing the law, Mr Justice Mostyn concluded (at paragraph 44) "that it would be wrong and unfair for none of H's pre-marital wealth to be excluded from the sharing principle". However, "the marriage was long and the monies were well and truly mingled with marital funds, signifying an acceptance by H that to a great extent the monies, or at least their growth or earnings, would be shared with ... W" (he rejected W's arguments in paragraphs 2-4 above). He concluded from that that £1,000,000 should be excluded from the 'divisible amount' of £9,474,000 (£9,714,000 less £240,000 set aside for the daughter's education), saying that this satisfied the justice of the sharing principle, whilst still just leaving sufficient to meet W's needs.
W therefore received 50% of £8,474,000, or 44.7% of the divisible amount.

Interesting case. I have had quite a few cases of late where one party is trying to ring fence one thing or another (e.g. pension/inheritance etc). The first thing that strikes me here are the legal costs (why don't I ever get cases like?!)and the fact that it cost them as much to fight for the same amount - its just mad eh?! On a serious note, I find that its difficult to advise the client on which way inheritance is likely to go especially in the case of a long(ish) marriage. Problem is, what one judge thinks, the other won't hence the very wide discretion that judges have. No doubt, another case will come along shortly and tell us something very different which doesn't help anyone.
John Bolch 24 March 2011 at 07:10
Unfortunately, I never had a case like this either! Amusing that Mr Justice Mostyn says it is not a very big money case!
Yes, advising can be difficult when all one has to go on is a line of often contradictory decisions.

Home InDepth Op-Eds Death
The inevitability of death makes the end no less hard to bear.
Jeremy Rosen
5 Tevet 5774 – December 8, 2013
Evolution: fact or theory?
I have just had to try to comfort a family devastated by the loss of middle-aged siblings, barely months apart, after long debilitating illnesses and decline. It is so hard to see suffering, the living and the dying. For me it is made harder still by the desperation of those who seek any and all kinds of pseudo-religious, superstitious charms and promises that the well- meaning and not-so-well-meaning assure the family will do what medicine cannot.
The inevitability of death makes the end no less hard to bear. The loss, the hole in one's heart, the loneliness remain forever. Only sleep, distraction, or occupation gives us any respite. We know there's no life without death. But the unpredictability and illogicality of how and when it strikes, adds a cruelty that most humans find hard to cope with.
If we were purely rational beings we should not cry. If we believe in the idea of soul, a spark of the Divine in each one of us, what then could be better for that spark than to return to its Heavenly source, escaping all the travails of the physical world? And if we believe that we just die, the lights go out, then what is there to feel sorry about in that other person's eternal sleep? We who are left behind cry because we feel deprived of love, wisdom, or support. But that surely is about us, not the dead. We weep for ourselves. We mourn and pay respect to the person who has died.
We ask "why" when we know precisely why. We know full well about diseases and why some people are more susceptible than others or inherit certain sets of genes. Any doctor can explain the causes of death. We know why the earth moves or tsunamis strike or rivers overflow. Just as we know that if we take risks we are more likely to put ourselves in danger. We know why a drunk or sleepy driver loses control of his vehicle or why a jet engine fails. We know why humans do terrible things and often kill innocents. But the question really is, "Why is this happening now, to me?" Or better, "What should I do about it?"
God has a purpose for everything, we are told, and yet we cannot know the Mind of God. Why does a child die in the womb or minutes after birth? Did it do anything to deserve it? And if its role was to impact its bereaved parents, can there not be a more productive way to teach humans lessons than by going through the whole process of pregnancy for nothing?
Why do the good suffer and the bad prosper? None of the answers satisfy. Only Rav Yannai had the honesty to admit that "we simply do not have the answers as to why the wicked are in peace or the righteous suffer" (Avot 4.15). "The world functions according its own rules"(Avodah Zara 54b). But still we wonder why God did not intervene in so many tragedies.
We humans need to believe we have done our best to leave no stone unturned, to try. We scour the world for mystical cures and charms. We even pay for strangers to pray for us. We feel we must be active, because otherwise we are even more aware of our helplessness.
Others try to comfort us with words that often make it worse. We hear such vapid clichés from the well-meaning as, "We are only given as much to bear as we are capable of." Go tell that to a suicide. Some tell us what they have no right to tell us, that it will all be OK, that God will answer our prayers, that this secret formula or that prayer or blessing will work. It might, or it might not. We have no way of knowing the boundary line between toiling in vain and trying to reverse what is decided. Is it better to tell someone to accept the Heavenly decree, or should we give hope for as long as possible even if it is false hope?
The pain of loss is so confusing that people who never, ever considered themselves religious suddenly turn to prayers and blessings and charms and names. They have nothing else to turn to, the scientists having told them the score. Yet scientists can be wrong too, and the power of the human spirit can overcome a lot. But not everything.
Illness and death are not to be welcomed. But we can learn from every bad thing that happens to us. We can learn to appreciate what we have. Religion does not give us answers. God remains inscrutable. But it does give us framework, rituals, communities, support structures, and discipline that all help us cope with whatever comes our way. Actually, psychology supposedly aims at the same thing. The only response can be. "You are here. You are alive. So use your gift of life and do not waste it." But go tell that to someone in pain.
The hardest part of being a religious functionary is, in my experience, dealing with those who have suffered loss. First comes shock. Then there is anger against God or clergy or anyone handy, and finally the adjustment. The Talmud says it takes a year, this adjusting to loss. And we, the public face of religion, are expected to talk, to use words, to ignore the lessons of Job's mourners who sat in silence waiting for him to open the conversation. We should remain silent, just hug, support, and love.
Our religious customs offer us a way forward. Not answers, but ways of coping. We, the community, gather around to express our love and our support. We busy ourselves with doing, we busy the mourners with distractions, and we have ritual that insists on indulging our grief, before we start the long slog towards getting back to the demands of life, the needs of the living. Sometimes, like Jacob, we "refuse to be comforted", and we think we will take our pain down to the grave. But we are resilient, we humans, and we cope. We try to embrace the blessing of life instead of returning to the answerless past. And if we do, then only in our dreams do we revisit our loss and suffer again.

We often discuss how to combat heat and drought stress for your lawn, but what about your bushes and shrubs?
Heat stress can be very damaging for your ornamental trees and shrubs. Often you may not even realize that some plant varieties are experiencing heat or drought stress until it is too late. Why? Because when many bushes or shrubs are desiccated, they still look green. The gardenia is a good example of this. The plant appears to hold its color well, even if it has received too much sun or too little water. However, as soon as you water it, you will notice the plant begin to turn brown and wilt.
Other ornamental tree and shrub varieties may show more obvious signs of heat stress. Hollies are fairly heat and sun tolerant, but when stressed, will begin to drop their leaves. Most evergreens also do well in the sun, but quickly begin molting when they receive too much heat and too little water.
What can you do to prevent heat stress on your bushes and shrubs?
One of the best ways that you can prevent heat and drought stress for your plants is to ensure that you are following the care guide for that particular plant. Bushes and shrubs are all too commonly planted in the wrong location. Make sure you pay attention to which areas of your landscape receive the most sun. Which areas remain shaded throughout the day? Which areas receive part sun and part shade. Be sure that you are planting in the correct locations.
The next step is to make sure you are paying close attention to conditions. If daily temperatures are running on the high side or your area is experiencing drought conditions be sure that you are watering your plants appropriately. It is important not to over-water. Many ornamental trees and shrubs are susceptible to root rot. Over-watering your shrubs in an attempt to compensate for heat stress can damage their root system. A good rule of thumb is to water your plants at the same time you are watering your lawn.
If your ornamental trees and shrubs look like they are struggling, but heat stress and drought does not appear to be a likely culprit, your plant may have an insect or disease problem. Mites, scale, aphids, lace bugs and white flies and leaf miner are all common pests that can cause problems for shrubbery. The crepe myrtle on the left for example, is showing signs of aphid infestation. A systemic insecticide during the dormant season is the best solution. Other pest problems may be resolved by horticultural oil application during dormancy. Disease and pest infestation should be identified by a specialist who can recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

Cleaning agents used to sanitize offices and kill coronavirus may be harmful to humans, warn experts
Businesses throughout the country are eager to resume regular operations after the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced employees to find alternative ways to report to work earlier this year. While others telecommuted, employees required to be on the premises were allowed to have shifting schedules.
But despite these safety measures, health experts are worried about employees being exposed to various products used to disinfect their offices since the EPA-approved (Environmental Protection Agency) list of cleaning agents for COVID-19 includes several that have yet to be proven safe for humans.
Could coronavirus safety measures be harmful to employees?
Companies mean well, but health and environmental safety experts have expressed their concern for returning workers and consumers who may be exposed to chemicals, most of which are untested for human health.
Prioritizing workplace sanitation is crucial to preventing the further spread of coronavirus and these measures are twofold: Business-owners want to follow the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) guidelines, and at the same time, it helps protect workers.
Rich Feczko, national director of systems, standards and innovation at Crothall Healthcare, a company that cleans hundreds of hospitals, explained that before the coronavirus pandemic, staff usually "freshened" lobbies every three hours. Restrooms were sanitized every four hours and other areas were cleaned at night.
But after the pandemic, workers have had to quicken the pace. Now, public places like lobbies and elevators are disinfected by workers at least six to eight times daily and restrooms are cleaned every two hours.
Claudia Miller, an immunologist, allergist and co-author of the book "Chemical Exposures: Low Levels and High Stakes," warned that this could spell trouble for workers returning to their offices. Because cleaners often use very toxic chemicals, employees could also be in danger.
Reconsidering the use of some cleaning agents
Cleaning companies often choose disinfectants from hundreds on List N, the EPA's month-old list of products that can kill coronavirus.
Lesliam Quirós-Alcalá, an exposure scientist and assistant professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said that while chemicals have been tested and are proven effective against the pathogen, this doesn't guarantee that they are also safe for humans.
Animal studies have shown that certain chemicals are linked to negative side effects, such as:
Increasing the risk of neurological and dermatological problems.
Increasing the risk of respiratory ailments such as asthma.
Reproductive toxicity.
Environmental health experts also warn that risks are rising with the increase in exposure to these chemicals.
To avoid potential health problems, experts suggest using safer methods of killing off the virus. For example, Quirós-Alcalá suggests using 70 percent rubbing alcohol to clean an elevator instead of disinfectants with potentially harmful chemicals.
The CDC has approved the use of rubbing alcohol against coronavirus.
Harsh disinfectants pose a risk to employees
Ian Cull, president of Indoor Sciences, an environmental consultancy, said that the risks of aerosolizing a lot of the disinfectants on List N have yet to be studied. He added that there are only a handful of disinfectants on the list that have been approved for aerosolizing, misting or fogging.
The EPA is currently conducting studies to determine if sprayers and foggers help fight coronavirus. Cull cautioned that enclosed areas with poor ventilation, such as high-rises that recirculate air, also increase exposure to cleaning agents.
Miller noted that disinfectants are an "immediate risk" to some workers. In at least 10 percent of people, such as those with asthma; those with allergies, immune disorders or weak immune systems and migraine sufferers may experience the following symptoms when exposed to disinfectants:
Prolonged exposure to these chemicals can also cause neuro-immune sensitization and intolerance to common chemicals, foods and drugs.
Using new tech to fight the pandemic
Merrick Group, an industrial cleaning company in Pennsylvania, now offers its services to businesses, hospitals and schools.
The company uses a proprietary process that releases a combination of isopropyl alcohol and quaternary ammonium onto surfaces via a CO2 gun. The chemical, which doesn't need to wiped, dries within a minute.
According to the EPA, the chemical is safe for some food grade and hospital surfaces.
But the healthcare sector is being more cautious. Geoff Price, the co-founder of Oak Street Health, a company of primary care centers for adults that treat 85,000 patients in 56 clinics, said that the company is maintaining a science-based approach.
Price said that existing technologies are effective, but only if they're applied correctly. At Oak Street, patient transport vans are cleaned with wipes.
Companies have also resorted to other alternatives to chemical solutions, like ultraviolet light.
At Breckenridge Grand Vacations, a company that owns 800 rooms in five resorts in Breckenridge, Colorado, 50 Puro UV disinfection lights are used to kill pathogens within 15 to 30 minutes of exposure. (Related: New York City's coronavirus disinfection program: Subway trains to be blasted with ultraviolet-C rays every night to kill the virus.)
The Puro UV disinfection lights are only used in empty rooms. Prior to the pandemic, the lights have been used mainly in hospitals. However, experts have yet to confirm if the disinfection lights are also effective in larger spaces.
For now, commercial landlords who can't wait for scientifically proven methods to fight coronavirus may resort to cheaper methods, even if they may prove harmful in the long run.
How can businesses protect employees returning to work post-pandemic?
At the height of the pandemic, most companies in America and around the world have allowed employees to telecommute.
However, if employees are required to show up at the office, employers can offer shifting schedules that allow employees to work beyond the typical workday. Doing so can result in staggered commute time, with fewer people in a public space.
Offering shifting schedules can even limit exposure to the coronavirus and other illnesses.
By prioritizing health and safety, businesses can help ensure that the workplace remains safe and employees don't force themselves to report to work while sick.
