The Tokyo District Court will hold a second round of auction to sell the headquarters building and its premises of the pro-Pyongyang residents' body in Japan in October, sources close to the matter said Friday.
The court will announce the auction on Sept. 18 and accept bids from Oct. 3 to 10 for the properties in central Tokyo of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, known as Chongryon, to recoup loans to the group by the Japanese government-backed Resolution and Collection Corp, the sources said.
Chongryon serves as North Korea's de facto diplomatic mission in Japan in the absence of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
A successful bidder will be determined on Oct. 22. The standard price will be set at about 2,668 million yen, unchanged from the initial round, the sources said.
The district court will conduct the auction for the second time as the winning bidder of the first one held in March failed to raise funds to acquire them.
The first winner of the tender was the Saifuku-ji Buddhist temple in Kagoshima, on the southern tip of Japan's southernmost main island of Kyushu, which offered 4,519 million yen.
But the temple's chief priest Ekan Ikeguchi, who has deepened ties with senior officials of North Korea as well as Chongryon and had intention to lease the building to the group, dropped the plan because he was unable to secure loans.
The temple's security deposit of about 500 million yen was forfeited and it is not allowed to participate in the second bidding.
The court decided to carry out the auction for the headquarters in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward in July last year as demanded by the RCC, which took over about 62.7 billion yen left by collapsed financial institutions in Japan for pro-Pyongyang Korean residents, seizing Chongryon's assets.

Hi ,
Love the plugin. Thank you for creating it! Is it possible to have sold cars remain in inventory and say sold instead of a price or maybe a ribbon that says SOLD?
Thanks again
Hi ,
Love the plugin. Thank you for creating it! Is it possible to have sold cars remain in inventory and say sold instead of a price or maybe a ribbon that says SOLD?
Thanks again
Hi Scot,
Well, technically they never actually disappear when marked sold, they just stop showing in the search results.
It should be fairly easy to go in and modify the PlugIn so they stay on the result page.
In the includes folder is a file called "car-demon-query.php", I believe if you remove lines 24-30 then the sold vehicles will be returned in your search results.
$meta_query = array(
'key' => 'sold',
'value' => 'no',
'compare' => '='
I'll go ahead and add an option to the admin area in the near future that let's you retain sold cars in the search results, that way you'll be able to upgrade without issue.
Let me know if that works.
Hi Scot,
I just wanted to let you know that a feature has been added in the next release (version 1.2.0) that will give you the option to display sold vehicles in the inventory result pages.
Version 1.2.0 should be released later this week.
If you have any other questions let me know.
Jay, Thank you for your fast response! Sorry for delay in responding. I will try adding the code today and see if it works.
Just saw your following up - if i add the code - when i upgrade will it effect anything - or just write over the changes? Or should i just hang tight for the update? Thanks again!
Hey Scot,
Unfortunately upgrading will overwrite your changes. If you'll go to our website http://www.CarDemon.com and fill out a contact form I'll send you a pre-release copy of the PlugIn that you can use, which already has this option added to it. That way you can upgrade in the future with no issues.
Thanks again for getting back to me. Unfortunately when i click the link http://www.CarDemon.com, it brings me to a domain for sale page - I am definitely interested in the pre-release copy and in taking part in the beta tests you mention in the forum (especially the facebook beta) - Please let me know where to send my contact info.
Thanks again
Sorry about that. I mis-typed, it's http://www.CarDemons.com with an s.
Cool - thanks!
Just got your email, you should receive a reply in just a moment.
Let me know if you run into any other problems.

I'm trying to connect to an Active Directory using the standard Java (javax.naming.*) libraries.
This seems to work exactly like connecting to any other LDAP except for one difference: The
SECURITY_PRINCIPAL needs to be supplied in the form
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "firstname.lastname@example.com"
Trying to use use a valid DN which points to the exact same user like
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "cn=foo,cn=Users,dc=bar,dc=baz,dc=org
result in a

The Gender of Time in the Eighteenth-century English Novel
Date: December 1998
Creator: Leissner, Debra Holt
Description: This study takes a structuralist approach to the development of the novel, arguing that eighteenth-century writers build progressive narrative by rendering abstract, then conflating, literary theories of gendered time that originate in the Renaissance with seventeenth-century scientific theories of motion. I argue that writers from the Renaissance through the eighteenth century generate and regulate progress-as-product in their narratives through gendered constructions of time that corresponded to the generation and regulation of economic, political, and social progress brought about by developing capitalism.

Relativity In Transylvania And Patusan: Finding The Roots Of Einstein's Theories Of Relativity In Dracula And Lord Jim
Date: December 2011
Creator: Tatum, Brian Shane
Description: This thesis investigates the similarities in the study of time and space in literature and science during the modern period. Specifically, it focuses on the portrayal of time and space within Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) and Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim (1899-1900), and compares the ideas presented with those later scientifically formulated by Albert Einstein in his special and general theories of relativity (1905-1915). Although both novels precede Einstein's theories, they reveal advanced complex ideas of time and space very similar to those later argued by the iconic physicist. These ideas follow a linear progression including a sense of temporal dissonance, the search for a communal sense of the present, the awareness and expansion of the individual's sense of the present, and the effect of mass on surrounding space. This approach enhances readings of Dracula and Lord Jim, illuminating the fascination with highly refined notions of time and space within modern European culture.

Relationship between the amount of parental supervision time and child delinquency.
Date: May 2005
Creator: Bessa, Yawo Agbessi
Description: This study assesses the relationship between parental supervision and children's delinquency. Data used in this study came from interviews with 99 parents from the Denton city area of Texas in 2003. A probability sample of 53 was contacted by way of randomly selected residential telephone numbers. In addition, 46 parents were non-randomly selected. Parents were asked about how much time they spent supervising and engaging in activities with their children and whether or not the oldest child exhibited delinquent behavior such as fighting, playing hooky, and being sent to detention or the principal's office. The study found that the more time parents spend in supervision and in engaging activities with their daughters, the less likely these children were to exhibit delinquent behavior. This was consistent with previous research. However, the level of delinquency of boys increased with the increase in the amount of parental supervision time, especially by fathers.

Accuracy Variations in Human Facial Identification Based on Time of Exposure.
Date: December 2006
Creator: Cowle, Kenneth M.
Description: This study examined the relationship between time of exposure to the human face and accurate subsequent photo line-up identification. A volunteer group of 124 undergraduate students was divided into three approximately equal sized subgroups. The three groups were then exposed to a video or a portion of a video depicting a theft. Exposure times ranged from two minutes to 30 seconds. The subjects were then given a questionnaire and shown a photo line-up of the mock perpetrator and five foils. Subjects were asked to identify the perpetrator and mark that identification on the questionnaire. Results of the experiment indicated that the longer a subject was exposed the greater the possibility of an accurate identification.

Spectrographic Analysis of Vocal Alterations
To what degree can an individual's formant production change when their vocalizations are altered? If the spectrographic signature of a person's voice is the result of unique nuances in their physical build, can this vocal "fingerprint" be altered by subtle manipulation? To answer these questions, this paper presents comparisons in data gathered from various individual's speech. Looking at vocalizations in this detail yields insightful information on how a person's voiceprint can be affected when certain factors are involved. More specifically, either when an individual is experiencing obstructed nasal airflow due to allergies or sickness or when they are mimicking another person.

So it turns out that Fahnestock has not been withholding NY City taxes from our paychecks ever since the conversion from CIBC back in June. CIBC was able to do that just fine, as I'm sure any other normal 21st century firm could do, but not this antediluvian nightmare.I recommend that everyone, once they figure out the taxes and interest penalties, send the bill to Bud.Only at Fahnestock. If they couldn't get the employee tax withholding right, how messed up are the client 1099's? How many corrected versions are going to have to go out? No big deal, though, client service, is not a big priority at this bucketshop, no matter what the kool-aid drinkers and "boutique" propagandists say.
Happily employed elsewhere. Best thing I ever did. But thanks for the compliment.Contumacious one.
You sound like one of ours. I know you're not Mr. Hershey, however (though his vocabulary is good). Are you one of ours? If not, would you like to be?
Sorry to disappoint. But I am actually ex-OPCO. I left last fall.
Hi,I'm a journalist with "Securities Week" and would be interested in speaking with anyone who would like to chat about this. I can be reached at email@example.com. Thanks!Dave
What does antediluvian mean?
What a joke. You've gotta be f'ing kidding me. Speaking of 1099's...there's a piece of shit at fahnestock named Jacques something, who's in charge of 1099's for clients. I had some clients who owned some royalty trusts whose dividends are partially a return of capital, not subject to taxation. Of course, fahnestock's 1099 shows them as fully taxable. Pieceofshitjacques took 2 months to correct the 1099's. He was very rude, like any frenchfuck, and impossible to deal with. That's the kind of pieceofshit place fahnestock is.
geeze...that is sad.

(CHATSWORTH, CA) -- British musician-journalist Mick Farren says guitarist Pete Townshend of the Who will "need more than good will and a foolhardy openness" to survive the next phase of his battle to prove he is not a pedophile. Farren covers the investigation of the rock 'n' roll legend in the March issue of AVN Online magazine.
Townshend was detained and questioned by Scotland Yard detectives in January during an anti-child porn investigation when it was discovered that he had downloaded child pornography from the Internet. He has denied he is a pedophile and said he came upon the illicit material while doing research for his support of a Russian orphanage program.
Writing in the leading adult industry Internet trade publication, Farren says that "before any court hearing, Pete will face judgment by the media and public opinion, and much of that judgment would seem to be based on whether or not we believe that his intentions were good. Already the photograph has been widely circulated in the media showing the furious guitar god reduced to a sad, somewhat creepy, frightened old man in the back of a police car," writes Farren, who has known Townshend personally since the 1960s and says he likes and respects him.
Farren, author of more than 20 books and writer of lyrics for bands such as Metallica and Motorhead, said that "sensing a celebrity sex scandal, the media (went) into wildly inaccurate action when Townshend was held for questioning" and now journalists are examining every aspect of his life and music career, searching "For a smoking pedophile."
"Pete Townshend is well liked, and maintains a healthy credit balance of good will, despite the flaws and contradictions in his statements," Farren writes in AVN Online. "He may, however, need more than good will and a foolhardy openness to make it through the next few months with his reputation intact." Farren says Townshend will need to prove beyond any doubt that he inadvertently downloaded illicit material while working on a research project.

YIT Shares Rise as Profit Beats Estimates on Russian Business
YIT Oyj, Finland's biggest builder, rose the most in almost three months in Helsinki trading, buoyed by residential sales in its domestic market and Russia.
YIT shares jumped as much as 12 percent to 15.20 euros, the biggest intraday gain since May 10, and was up 0.9 percent as of 4:24 p.m. The Helsinki-based company reported second-quarter net income of 46.1 million euros ($65.4 million), beating the average estimate of 44.1 million euros in a Bloomberg survey of 11 analysts.
Sales of Finnish business premises are picking up and residential sales are "continuously favorable," the company said today in a statement. Opportunities for improving profitability exist particularly in Russian housing construction, it said. Finland accounts for about 40 percent of YIT's annual revenue, while Russia generates about 14 percent.
Finland's economy will grow by 3.9 percent this year, the Finance Ministry said on June 20. Unemployment fell to 8.4 percent in June from 8.8 percent a year earlier.
YIT reiterated a full-year forecast of "clear" growth in operating profit on rising revenue and citing "good" residential sales in Finland and Russia.
The gain at YIT contrasts with a decline of as much as 5.7 percent at Lemminkaeinen Oyj, Finland's second-biggest construction company, which reported second-quarter net income of 12.3 million euros that missed the average 13.7 million-euro estimate of five analysts. Lemminkaeinen also forecast improving sales and pretax profit in 2011.
SRV Group Oyj, which ranks third in Finland's construction industry, said yesterday that it had a second-quarter net loss of 2.1 million euros, compared with net income of 800,000 euros a year earlier. The stock dropped 5.6 percent, falling for a second day.

The Lottery Gods Are Trying to Be Evenhanded
Someone not employed at a hedge fund won!
Perhaps feeling guilty about putting one of the largest Powerball payouts in history in the hands of hedge-fund managers from Greenwich, Lady Luck decided to put the universe back into balance: A 42-year-old single mother and stroke victim in Brooklyn won $13.5 million in the lottery, which probably means we're due for a Stamford venture capitalist to win next. Let's take turns!

DOUBLE ELIMINATION means DOUBLE INTERVIEW!
Yes I know we missed Serena and Monica with their elimination interviews but due to scheduling conflicts we couldn't get them. That being said, we found a perfect plan and we are back on schedule with our interviews.
This week we've got two fabulous queens for you, Honey Mahogany & Vivienne Pinay who were both sent home this week is a (not so) shocking elimination. The reason I keep saying "not so shocking" is because there were 14 contestants, and Vivienne explains it in her interview so you'll get the scoop.
Also we talk about Honey's new single, "It's Honey", her collection of caftans & how she felt being the first SFO queen on the show. I've also included the new music video for "It's Honey"! Enjoy everything after the jump!
Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear we have a problem fellow gay nerds. A couple weeks ago it was released the author Orson Scott Card is going to be writing a new Superman story that starts in April. No big deal right? WRONG! Orson Scott Card is a big homophobe, and this has everyone (myself included) in a big tizzy because Superman is the defender of the little guy, of the oppressed, and Orson Scott Card is a villain in real life.
"But someone's personal views shouldn't matter when writing a comic book," some might say. Sure, you can use that argument but it doesn't work in this case. This is SUPERMAN! Superman loves all, he protects all. This author is a known activist against homosexuality and gay marriage and he's got to go. So what do we do?
In the famous words of Drag Race All Star Jujubee I want to start off this review by saying MEEEOW! RuPaul was not havin it tonight hunty! Did you see it? Did you SEE the (not so) shocking double elimination? I have to be honest I totally saw it come because the LSFYL was kind of lamesauce. Who were the bottom two? Well before we get to that let's spill the T on tonight's episode or RuPaul's Drag Race.
I'm really loving the post elimination work room start they are doing this season, it's really good. After Monica's elimination everyone was all ears about Vivienne who right away was making some excuses about being in a group with too many loud queens. All T, All Shade, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen girl. She was mainly going after Roxxxy Andrews who I have to say is turning out to be the one to beat this season.
If you follow me on Twitter (@TommyD) or Instagram (@Tommy_D83), you will have noticed that I posted a picture of the motherload that I got from MARVEL COMICS in their latest shipment. If you missed it I'm going to post it at the end of this entry.
One of the books I got this time was the Avengers vs X-Men COLLECTED EDITION! This book is massive, honestly I was incredibly surprised and totally grateful to have gotten this gift. If you don't know about AvX, it was the epic story of the return of the Phoenix force and how the X-Men think it was to help rebuild their mutant population after the devastation the Scarlet Witch created my whispering "No more mutants." This sounds like something positive, however the Avengers know the Phoenix Force coming back to Earth will do nothing but wreak havoc on everything like it has in the past.
Hello boys and girls. Hope you're all doing well this fine festive day. Since Valentine's Day is all about celebrating love and affection, I thought this would be a perfect day to profess our love to all our loyal readers (new and old). We would be nothing without you and appreciate each and everyone of you taking time out of your hectic days to visit us. Hope you all have a great Valentines Day. xoxo the Homorazzi boys.
It's so funny how one week someone can be on top, and the next week they can just drive me crazy again. Last week, I mentioned how amazing Coco Montrese was, and this week she's just a big whiney baby wahh wahh Alyssa is mad at me. Honestly she needs to get over it, but I guess it's keeping us all talking about her which equals screen time. Hmmmm….
After Serena's elimination last week our girls all came back into the workroom and we FINALLY started to get some history with Alyssa and Coco. Of course it had something to do with a pageant, in fact it was Coco who was Alyssa's first alternate. So after Alyssa got dethroned, Coco got the crown. Drama? Not really -it's kind of the rules, but you know queens and a crown right?
This week's mini challenge was great, it was a Junior Drag pageant. The girls had to team up and make up a dummy to look like a junior drag queen. The winning team was Lil Pound Cake done up by Lineysha and Alaska. It was the best one for sure no complaints there. As the winners, they were made captains of two teams, where they had to create a children's show. I'm kind of over the group challenges and I really want to see the bitches shine on their own, but I digress.
Having just aired on OUTtv last week, we've got the latest episode of our Homorazzi show to share with you and this one's pretty funny. Given that it was a while ago that it was filmed, some of the content is a bit out of date but regardless, we're pretty sure you'll get a good laugh or two. The usual peeps make up the panel (From Left to Right: Tommy, Nic, Patrick and Adam.
In this episode, the cast talks about a few of their goals for 2013, as well as the latest in music, television, movies, and gay news. The cast also discusses their plans to attend WinterPRIDE 2013, which they did indeed end up doing this past weekend (stay tuned for pictures and video from the weekend).
Keep your eyes peeled for all of Adam's eye rolls and one part where Patrick says something he didn't intend to (something that sounded dirty but wasn't supposed to) and the result is the whole crew bursting into laughter. Nic & Patrick have some serious trouble pulling it together after that.
Watch the episode below and subscribe to Canada's LGBT television network OUTtv to watch new episodes as soon as they come out.
I need to preface this by saying a few things. When I went to interview the producers of Drag Race a month ago, they told me that this was the best season of Drag Race. I have to say that already in Episode 2, this season SLAYS! The queens are SO good (except for Serena) and the challenges are already awesome. Tonight's main challenge was FIERCE and so funny. Also, Miss COCO MONTRESE TURNED ME OUT this episode. I know I put her in my bottom girls last week and while I still don't think she can win, she was giving me LIFE this week. She is SO funny and her shade is perfection. Ok, let's get to it.
The episode started off completely differently this week. The first scene was when the queens walked back into the workroom after elimination. It was such a refreshing way to start the show. We got to see their feelings immediately after the elimination. So great. Serena blah blah was safe and people were not having it, especially Detox who was already missing Penny. When they got back the next day it was time for a mini challenge, a lip sync challenge. They had to lip sync one of RuPaul's songs behind a giant RuPaul face with only their lips showing. I KNEW Detox would be one of the winners her lip sync is always perfect. The other winners were Ivy Winters and Serena blah blah. Those three became captains and had to choose teams to compete in the lip sync main challenge: Recreating a famous scene from Untucked from the past seasons. Genius.

The Lucky Kindby Alyssa Sheinmel
View All Available Formats & Editions
High school junior Nick Brandt is intent on getting a girlfriend, and Eden Reiss is the one that he wants. He has exactly four semesters to get the girl, but when the phone rings on an otherwise ordinary Tuesday night, life for Nick and his parents will never be the same. What had been a seemingly idyllic home life has become something else entirely. But with this shake-up comes a newfound confidence for Nick; he's become a bolder version of himself, no longer afraid to question his parents, and no longer afraid to talk to Eden.
Alyssa B. Sheinmel has written a powerfully gripping story about family secrets, falling in love, and finding luck in unexpected--and sometimes unwelcome—circumstances.
From the Hardcover edition.
Editorial Reviews
"The Lucky Kind is an honest, powerful and emotional look at family secrets and falling in love." - Justine
"The first-person narration is honest and compelling, and the book's thoughtful nature will appeal to readers who like more introspective realistic fiction." - School Library Journal
"The storyline urges readers to think not only about adoption and the role of family, but about how they themselves relate to those around them, urging them, ultimately, to practice compassion." - The Atlanta Young Adult Literature Examiner
"Sheinmel effectively uses a breezy, often humorous first-person voice that's deceptively slight in its handling of deep issues, even as Nick does the hard emotional work to pull himself out of the depths of his self-pity." - Kirkus Reviews
"Teen readers will be touched by the unexpected friendship and change of heart that will help him [Nick] put his life back together again." - Bookpage.com
"A charming, entertaining read." - The Tennessee Herald Citizen

"A good story about first loves and family, this is a book both teenage boys and girls will relate to." - Parkersburg News and Sentinel
"Alyssa Sheinmel's The Lucky Kind is a charming story about teenage love." - Angela Johnson, Cleveland Plain-Dealer
Unexpected relatives complicate a teen's life.
In his junior year at a private school in Manhattan, Nick's biggest concern is finally getting the attention of Eden, a girl he's known since kindergarten. Nick's ordinary, stable home life is upended when his father gets a phone call from a stranger named Sam. After a tension-filled weekend, Nick's father reveals that Sam is the son he and his girlfriend gave up for adoption 30 years ago. Nick feels betrayed by the enormity of the secret that his parents have kept, and his anger at them threatens to taint his new relationship with Eden. He can't separate his emotions about his family from his feelings for Eden and abruptly breaks up with her after sleeping together. His best friend Stevie tries to point out that he's probably afraid of making the same mistake his father made. It's not until Nick meets Sam and learns the details of his non-Jewish father's early life in small-town Ohio that he can come to grips with his family's new reality. Nick is lucky in his choice of girlfriend—Eden patiently waits for him to sort things out.
Sheinmel effectively uses a breezy, often humorous first-person voice that's deceptively slight in its handling of deep issues, even as Nick does the hard emotional work to pull himself out of the depths of his self-pity. (Fiction. 12 & up)

Phone Calls and Other Life-Altering Events
It's 7:42 on a Tuesday when the phone rings. I only notice the time because I'm watching Wheel of Fortune, which is so boring that I think I might be better entertained if I turned off the TV and stared at the blank screen. I wonder when Vanna White began looking like somebody's mom. I distinctly remember thinking she was hot when I was younger. My parents are out and I'm sunk into the living room sofa, but the phone is within my arm's reach. I grab the remote and hit the mute button.
"Is Sheffman Brandt in?"
It takes me a second to realize he's talking about my dad. Sheffman is his real first name, but no one calls him that. He usually goes by Robert or Rob or Bobby, for his middle name. Sheffman is his mother's maiden name. It must be a telemarketer or someone who got his name off a list.
"No, I'm sorry, he's not home. Can I take a message?"
There's silence on the other end. I think I hear the man say "Umm," like he's really thinking about whether or not to leave a message.
"Hello?" I say, mildly irritated.
"No. I'm sorry. No. Sorry. No, thank you." His voice sounds more certain that "No" is the right answer each time he says it. Then he hangs up, so I do, too. I'm asleep before my parents get home.
In the morning, the sound of my mother and Pilot coming back from their walk wakes me up. Pilot is our dog, but my parents act like he's my little brother.
My father is sitting in the living room at his computer. His desk is in the back of the room, behind the sofa, so that he can watch TV while he works.
"Morning, Nicky," he says, looking up from his cereal. Even though he's fifty years old, my dad has a big sweet tooth; he puts three or four spoonfuls of sugar into his Grape-Nuts every morning. Mom says he's going to get adult-onset diabetes. Dad works from home half the time, and he's sitting in his pajama bottoms with his cereal, so it doesn't look like he's going in today. Before I was born, he started a company called Fetch Capital, and my mother quit her job to help him run it.
"Hey, Dad." My hair is still wet from the shower, and my shirt is clinging to my chest because I was still wet when I put it on. But it's only September, school's only just started, and it's still hot out. It'll feel good once I get outside.
My mother and Pilot are on the couch, watching the five-day forecast, which is pretty much my mother's favorite show.
"Stevie coming over this morning?" she asks as I walk toward the kitchen.
I shake my head. "I'll meet him downstairs." Stevie and I have been walking to school together since we were ten.
"His parents were at the fund-raiser last night. They won the big prize in the silent auction."
"What they win?" I ask as I pour myself cereal.
"Some trip. They always bid on the trips, those two.
Stevie's parents love to travel. When we were little, Stevie slept over every time his parents left town.
"Bring a sweater to school with you, Nick," Mom says, kissing my head before she leaves the room. "I know you think it's still summer, but it's getting cold already and your hair is still wet." I roll my eyes at Dad but he says, "Sweater, Nicky," like he agrees with Mom that I'm not old enough to know whether I'm hot or cold.
Girls in School Uniforms
"Why the fuck is everyone in such a hurry to get into that building?" Stevie asks. We're standing on the corner across the street from school, leaning against the windows of the pizza place. Stevie hates school this year. His parents are making him see a tutor after school because colleges pay such close attention to junior year on your transcripts. It wouldn't be so bad if Stevie didn't already get straight As. They seem to think, since he never studies, that something must be wrong. But Stevie's just that smart. You'd hate him if he weren't so cool about it. Sometimes when we have two choices for an essay, he'll write both of them, choose the one he likes better, and give me the other one to hand in.
I'm pretty sure that Francis is the only coed high school in New York with school uniforms. Boys have to wear shirts and ties, and right now Stevie and I are sweating under our long sleeves. Whoever came up with this outfit was not thinking about the weather in Manhattan, which stays hot through September and gets hot again in May, so that the boys have to sweat out two months every year.
But not the girls. The girls wear gray kilts and button-downs, although they call them blouses, and they always roll their kilts at the waist to make them shorter. Sometimes they wear boxers underneath their kilts, and the skirts are rolled so short that you can see the boxers peeking out at the hems.
Eden Reiss is walking toward Stevie and me, and her kilt is just above her knees; she never rolls her skirt to make it shorter. Her button-down is loose enough that the buttons don't pull at her chest, but you can see the polka dots on her bra underneath her white shirt.
"Check out Eden's bra," Stevie whispers.
"Yeah, I see it." I don't exactly need it pointed out to me, and Stevie knows it. But I'm trying not to look because she'll see me staring. Eden Reiss has been at Francis since kindergarten, too, just like Stevie and me. Just her name is enough to make her cool, like her parents wanted something biblical, but rather than settle on Eve they went straight to the heart of the matter by naming her Eden.

Nick Brandt is your normal, everyday teenager. The only thing that's 'odd' about this particular high school junior living in New York City, is the fact that he's lucky. He is the owner of two parents who are truly in love and love him; his home is a happy one; and, he has a best friend who's actually a good, honest friend who has been a part of his life since they were little boys. School isn't so bad, either. Nick has good grades and doesn't really worry much about his love life. But the one thing that he has been missing is the strength and bravery to ask out Eden Reiss. Eden is also a normal, nice teenager girl, and extremely intelligent. She, unfortunately, doesn't have all the positives in her life that Nick enjoys, Although she has a non-violent home - with no drugs or hideous beings to negatively effect her life - Eden's parents are getting ready to divorce. And Eden has a tendency to be a little jealous of people like Nick Brandt whose parents actually sat at their school, holding hands, on parent's day. Soon, however, Nick and Eden become a couple.and just in time. Why? Because like many people who have taken a "happy, normal" life for granted, Nick doesn't know what hits him when there is actual adversity thrown into the mix. Nick's Dad reveals a secret. He, a long time ago, fathered a son with his first girlfriend and they ended up giving the boy up for adoption. It was a point in Nick's father's life where he wasn't able to raise a son. Now, phone calls are coming into the house from a young man named Sam.who turns out to be Nick's half-sibling. Nick gets more than angry when he learns that his father kept such a large secret from him all these years; he feels as if his own opinion in his family is no longer warranted. And even though his mother has accepted the fact that his father wants to "meet" the boy he gave up long ago - Nick is not accepting of it. It feels like he has sibling rivalry all of a sudden for a man he's never even met. Nick does a great deal of talking with his beloved girlfriend, Eden about the situation. He needs someone to understand what he's going through, and Eden tries her absolute best to put up with Nick's infantile behavior. When Nick and Sam come face to face, a new relationship is born, and the in-depth emotions run high. Can Nick find a way to forgive his father and accept the 'newest' member of his family? Can he struggle through his emotions and not blow his relationship with the girl of his dreams? Although the author does a lovely job of answering those questions, the actual 'plot' reminded this writer of an amazing woman who took on the hardest teenage subjects and offered upset, confused, and frightened teens a way to deal with every emotional problem they could have. The famed author, Judy Blume, is still remembered as the absolute "best" voice for speaking about the world of teenage difficulties. And, although, Ms. Sheinmel is a "new" voice in YA fiction trying to touch on various subjects that affect the teenage mind, Ms. Blume still remains the master of that particular 'craft.' Quill Says: A heartfelt story about the difficult journey from teenager to adult, with some well-taught lessons for YA readers.
A beautiful, realistic story about what happens when you find the truth out about the family you think you know.

Preds avoid arbitration with Granberg — two years, $1.225 million
Nashville has retained the services of depth defenseman Petter Granberg, inking him to a two-year, two-way, $1.225 million extension ahead of his Aug. 3 arbitration hearing, per CBC.
The contract will pay $575,000 at the NHL level in year one, and $650,000 in year two.
Claimed off waivers from Toronto in November, Granberg appeared in 27 games for the Preds last season, scoring two points while racking up 13 PIM.
He was a healthy scratch for all of Nashville's playoff run.
Looking ahead, Granberg could be in line for a bigger role with the Preds next season. He only turns 24 in August, and the team did buy out the remainder of veteran Barret Jackman's contract in late June.
That should open up some minutes on the back end, though Granberg will likely compete with free agent signings Yannick Weber and Matt Irwin for those depth spots.
With DeKeyser locked up, Holland still has work to do in Detroit
There's nothing too flashy about Danny DeKeyser's game.
"Basically," he told reporters today, "my game, I just try to move the puck well, play solid defensively, chip in some points or goals here or there when I can, and just try to be a good team player and do things that help the team win."
For that, the Red Wings gave the steady defenseman a six-year, $30 million contract, avoiding an arbitration hearing in the process. Yes, it's a significant amount of money for a d-man that doesn't contribute a ton of offense, but as we've already seen this offseason, players like DeKeyser have significant value. The Edmonton Oilers gave up Taylor Hall to get one.
Re-signing DeKeyser is not expected to stop GM Ken Holland from trying to add to his blue line. The Wings have a surplus of forwards, and Holland has said he'd "love to get a top-three defenseman" prior to the start of next season.
If Holland can't swing a deal, Detroit's pairings could look something like this:
DeKeyser — Mike Green
Jonathan Ericsson — Niklas Kronwall
Brendan Smith — Alexey Marchenko
Xavier Ouellet
It's not a particularly young group. Kronwall is 35, Ericsson is 32, and Green is 30. The Red Wings chose not to re-sign veteran Kyle Quincey, and so far he has not been replaced. In June, they drafted a defenseman in the first round, but Dennis Cholowski is a ways away from playing in the NHL; he's off St. Cloud State in the fall. There are a few other young blue-liners in the system, like Joe Hicketts, Ryan Sproul and Robbie Russo, but they all still have some developing to do.
At the very least, Holland now has some cost certainty with DeKeyser. The next step will be getting Petr Mrazek's deal done, possibly with the aid of tomorrow's arbitration hearing. After that, it'll be working to get that defenseman he covets.
Nugent-Hopkins trying to ignore trade rumors — 'If it happens, it happens'
The Ryan Nugent-Hopkins trade speculation may have died down since it peaked at the draft in late June, but it's not entirely dead.
The 23-year-old former first overall draft pick was asked to address the ongoing rumors Monday at an Oilers charity golf tournament.
"I try not to pay attention too much," Nugent-Hopkins said, per the Edmonton Journal. "If it happens, it happens. I know it's definitely a different group than the one we finished with last season."
Indeed it is. Most notably, Taylor Hall is in New Jersey now, traded for defenseman Adam Larsson. The Oilers also signed Milan Lucic and drafted Jesse Puljujarvi.
What's still lacking is an offensive defenseman who can run the power play, which is why the names Tyson Barrie (Avalanche) and Matt Dumba (Wild) have been floated as potential targets.
The Wild in particular could use a good, young center like Nugent-Hopkins, and the expansion draft is looming for a Minnesota club that already has defensemen Ryan Suter, Jared Spurgeon, Jonas Brodin, and Marco Scandella locked up in long-term contracts.
Barrie, meanwhile, has an arbitration hearing scheduled for Friday.
Blues d-man Kevin Shattenkirk is another name that's come up; however, he can become an unrestricted free agent after next season, and whether he'd re-sign in Edmonton is in doubt.
Flyers reportedly avoid arbitration with Manning, sign him for two more years
Chalk up another arbitration hearing that won't be required. This time it's Brandon Manning's. The 26-year-old defenseman has agreed on a two-year, $1.95 million deal with the Philadelphia Flyers, according to CSN Philly.
Manning's hearing was scheduled for next Tuesday. He was the last restricted free agent on the Flyers, after Brayden Schenn re-signed Monday.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman was the first to report the Manning signing.
Manning played 56 games for the Flyers in 2015-16, his first full season in the NHL. He had one goal and six assists while logging an average ice time of 16:32.

Maelstrom: the Last Coyote Tale
Date: December 1997
Creator: Claiborne, J. Taylor (John Taylor)
Description: It is a dark future, where corporations have taken the place of governmental bodies, and Earth is a myth, forgotten in the reconstruction after the Second Dark Age. One man--a clone--investigates a murder [that] leads him deep into a spirit quest of his own that will answer the questions of Man's heritage as well as his own identity. This story is a science fiction, but it is similar in structure to a Coyote tale and involves quite a bit of Navajo mythology. The use of Native American imagery is not an attempt to capitalize on another culture, but rather to study the culture and use allegorical elements that transcend many cultures. It must also be noted that non-Native American writers wrote all texts available on the subject. This fact should be taken into consideration by the reader.

The Rhetoric of Posthumanism in Four Twentieth-Century International Novels
Date: August 1998
Creator: Lin, Lidan
Description: The dissertation traces the trope of the incomplete character in four twentieth-century cosmopolitan novels that reflect European colonialism in a global context. I argue that, by creating characters sharply aware of the insufficiency of the Self and thus constantly seeking the constitutive participation of the Other, the four authors E. M. Forster, Samuel Beckett, J. M. Coetzee, and Congwen Shen all dramatize the incomplete character as an agent of postcolonial resistance to Western humanism that, tending to enforce the divide between the Self and the Other, provided the epistemological basis for the emergence of European colonialism. For example, Fielding's good-willed aspiration to forge cross-cultural friendship in A Passage to India; Murphy's dogged search for recognition of his Irish identity in Murphy; Susan's unfailing compassion to restore Friday's lost speech in Foe; and Changshun Teng, the Chinese orange-grower's warm-hearted generosity toward his customers in Long River--all these textual occasions dramatize the incomplete character's anxiety over the Other's rejection that will impair the fullness of his or her being, rendering it solitary and empty. I relate this anxiety to the theory of "posthumanism" advanced by such thinkers as Marx, Bakhtin, Sartre, and Lacan; in their texts the humanist view of the individual ...

"Stately Temples": Consubstantiality and Consciousness in Frances E. W. Harper's Iola Leroy; or Shadows Uplifted
Date: August 1996
Creator: Louis-Ray, Deborah
Description: The purpose of this master's thesis is to examine Frances Harper's narrative strategy and moral didacticism in Iola Leroy: or Shadows Uplifted (1892) as she strives to achieve consubstantiality and a "heightened consciousness" within her characters and her audience while adhering to the literary and feminist paradigms of the late nineteenth century. Harper identifies with her African-American male audience's dilemma of "double-consciousness" and their veil of androcentrism. She also identifies with her Euro-American female audience's delicate and matriarchal roles, while also attempting to uplift their position of the "Other" to the "One." Finally, with her African-American female audience, Harper identifies with their complex situatedness of "double-consciousness" and the "Other," while also attempting to uplift them from a historically imposed position of selflessness to one of empowerment.

Description: Women's and men's responses regarding perceived speaker sex and the politeness of given utterances were examined through the use of a questionnaire administered to 90 people, 45 men and 45 women. The questionnaire required respondents to rate the politeness of each utterance and label each as being more likely spoken by a man or by a woman. Factors possibly affecting perceptions--such as power, prestige, and the stereotypical conversational structures of both men and women--were addressed through others' research in this area. Additionally, all tested sentences were analyzed in light of linguistic politeness theory regarding on-record and off-record speech. This analysis details each utterance through examining the type of politeness strategy each utterance typifies.

Description: This dissertation is a collection of poems preceded by a critical preface. The preface considers the major changes within the elegy from the traditional English elegy—the touchstone poems for this genre being Milton's "Lycidas," Shelley's "Adonais," and Tennyson's "In Memoriam"—to the contemporary elegy and argues that many of these changes showcase contemporary elegists' active refusal and reversal of the time-honored traditions of the form. The preface is divided into an introduction and three sections, each of which recognizes and explores one significant alteration—or reversal—to the conventions of the form as established by early English elegists. The first discusses the traditional elegiac tradition of consolation in which the speaker, after displaying a series of emotions in reaction to the death of a loved one, ultimately finds comfort in the knowledge that the deceased lives eternally in heaven. This convention is contrasted with a common contemporary rhetorical movement in which the speaker not only lacks comfort by the end of the poem, but often refuses any kind of consolation, preferring instead to continue his grief. The second recognizes and explores the traditional elegiac tradition in which the speaker, listing the virtues of the beloved, replaces the real, historical person with a symbol ...

Revisiting the Grotesque: Poems
Date: August 1997
Creator: Davidson, Chad (Chad Thomas)
Description: This thesis consists of a group of poems around a central concept: language as a physical dwelling place—a place much like what Raphael discovered in the grottoes of Rome and named "grotesque," or "grotto-esque." Using the word, "grotesque," as an example, the preface illustrates how poetry can play with the lost histories of words while still searching for new referents and associations.

Warrior Women in Early Modern Literature
Date: May 2013
Creator: Oxendine, Jessica Grace
Description: Fantasies about warrior women circulated in many forms of writing in early modern England: travel narratives such as Sir Walter Ralegh's The Discoverie of Guiana (1595) portray Amazon encounters in the New World; poems like Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene (1596) depict women's skill with a spear; and the plays of Shakespeare, John Fletcher, and others stage the adventurous feats of women on the battlefield. In this dissertation, I analyze the social anxieties that emerge when warrior women threaten gender hierarchies in the patriarchal society of early modern England. The battlefield has traditionally been a site for men to prove their masculinity against other men, so when male characters find themselves submitting to a sword-wielding woman, they are forced to reimagine their own masculine identities as they become the objects acted upon by women. In their experience of subjectivity, these literary warrior women often allude to the historical Queen Elizabeth I, whose reign destabilized ideas about gender and power in the period. Negative evaluations of warrior women often indicate anxiety about Elizabeth as an Amazon-like queen. Thus, portrayals of warrior women often end with a celebration of patriarchal dominance once the male characters have successfully contained the threat of the ...

Reflections of Other/Reflections of Self
Date: August 2002
Creator: Bebout, Lee
Description: This Thesis collection contains a critical preface and five stories. The preface, "Reflejos y Reflexiones" (translated: Images and Thoughts), addresses the issues of writing the cultural or gendered Other; these issues include methodology, literary colonialism, a dialogue between works, and creating distance through defamiliarizing the self. "Perennials" is the story of Noemi Tellez, an immigrant to the U.S. who must choose between working and taking care of her family. In "Load Bearing" Luis, the eldest child, faces his family and friends on one of his last days before moving away to college. "La Monarca" deals with Lily's, the youngest daughter, struggle to mediate a place between her friends and her family. In "Reflections in the River," Arabela, the second youngest, faces the ghost of an unwanted pregnancy and La Llorona. "La Cocina de Su Madre" is the story of Magda, the oldest daughter, and her own teenage girl, Natalia, as they attempt to find themselves in a new town after moving a thousand miles from home.

Working Whiteness: Performing And Transgressing Cultural Identity Through Work
Date: May 2002
Creator: Polizzi, Allessandria
Description: Early in Richard Wright's Native Son, we see Bigger and his friend Gus "playing white." Taking on the role of "J. P. Morgan," the two young black men give orders and act powerful, thus performing their perceived role of whiteness. This scene is more than an ironic comment on the characters' distance from the lifestyle of the J. P. Morgans of the world; their acts of whiteness are a representation of how whiteness is constructed. Such an analysis is similar to my own focus in this dissertation. I argue that whiteness is a culturally constructed identity and that work serves as a performative space for defining and transgressing whiteness. To this end, I examine work and its influence on the performance of middle class and working class whiteness, as well as how those outside the definitions of whiteness attempt to "play white," as Bigger does. Work enables me to explore the codes of whiteness and how they are performed, understood, and transgressed by providing a locus of cultural performance. Furthermore, by looking at novels written in the early twentieth century, I am able to analyze characters at a historical moment in which work was of great import. With the labor ...

Neckbones and Sauerfowches: From Fractured Childhood in the Ghetto to Constantly Changing Womanhood in the World
Date: May 2002
Creator: Smith, Starita
Description: A collection of five memoiristic essays arranged about themes of family, womanhood and the African-American community with a preface. Among the experiences the memoirs recount are childhood abandonment; verbal and emotional child abuse; mental illness; poverty; and social and personal change. Essays explore the lasting impact of abandonment by a father on a girl as she grows into a woman; the devastation of family turmoil and untreated mental illness; generational identity in the African-American community. One essay describes the transition from the identity-forming profession of journalism to academia. The last essay is about complicated and conflicting emotions toward patriotism and flag-waving on the part of a black woman who has lived through riots, little known police shootings of students on black campuses, and many other incidents that have divided Americans.

Demong makes up ground to capture first
Associated Press
BEDRICHOV, Czech Republic -- Bill Demong of the United States won a Nordic Combined World Cup competition Sunday, finishing the 15-kilometer cross-country race in 42 minutes, 48.5 seconds.
Demong, fourth in Saturday's jumping event, went into the race 1:11 behind leader Thorsten Schmitt of Germany.
Pavel Churavy of the Czech Republic, ninth in the jumping Saturday, finished second Sunday, 1.9 seconds behind Demong.
Felix Gottwald of Austria, the overall World Cup standings leader, was third, 3.8 seconds off Demong's pace.
Nine German and three Finish competitors didn't participate in Sunday's skiing portion of the event after withdrawing Saturday, citing "unfair conditions."

I'm attempting to set up Cacti to monitor a router's interfaces, and I'm having trouble getting the graph templates to show the information that I'd like.
Our interface configuration looks like this:
interface GigabitEthernet3/6
description WalljackNumber # Server info
no ip address
no shutdown
switchport access vlan 116
switchport mode access
ip dhcp snooping trust
spanning-tree portfast
The "Server Info" string is really just the machine name, and a short relevant description, such as "PolarSprings vmnic2". The important part appears to be that it follows the hashmark.
When I run snmpwalk, I get the proper output:
IF-MIB::ifAlias.230 = STRING: WalljackNumber # Server info
But in Cacti, when I go into the graph templates and set the title to this:
|host_description| - Traffic - |query_ifName| (|query_ifAlias|)
All that shows up in the graph is:
switchname - Traffic - Gi3/6 (WalljackNumber #)
Which strikes me as a little weird. What I suppose MAY be happening is that somewhere in the cacti stream, it's interpreting # as being a comment and stripping everything after, but I'm not sure.
I was hoping someone could tell me that this was a known documented behavior, or that I could change it in a setting that I wasn't aware of. The alternative answer is to change the delimiter from # to something else, but I've got over a thousand lit switchports on an old college infrastructure, and I'm not sure what else might be relying on them.

Research Institution:
AbstractSpectral Energies, LLC and The Ohio State University proposes a comprehensive research effort to advance the state-of-the-art in seamless computation of the interior of a nozzle in high performance turbine exhaust and downstream plume aerodynamics. The focus is on higher-fidelity methods using robust, efficient and scalable high-order accurate implicit schemes couched in a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) framework. Phase I will develop and demonstrate the existing procedure on a government-furnished geometry, uniting the nozzle interior and jet into a single simulation. We then propose physically consistent methods to introduce incoming turbulence (in the freestream as well as the boundary layer), swirl associated with upstream components and roughness of the nozzle wall due to surface finish and discrete imperfections. The method will be able to treat contoured as well as military type axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric nozzles operating at design and off-design conditions. The work plan includes a systematic sequence of steps to verify and validate each element of the method, setting the stage for a potential Phase II in which we will introduce an experimental component for detailed validation. The effort will demonstrate application to a series of nozzle designs provided by the government and transition the beta version of the developed software to NAVAIR Propulsion and Power.

Arts Today the Stranger Suggests
posted by May 25 at 12:16 PMon
'Objective Sound'
(Art) Bill Fontana, based in San Francisco, is a pioneer of sound art and a guy to pay attention to. His latest installation is a resonation-portrait of the industrial area hugging the Duwamish River in South Seattle, near the art gallery Western Bridge. Fontana will pipe sounds from the neighborhood (machinery, trucks, trains) into the darkened gallery, where steel and glass objects found nearby and brought inside will act like musical instruments, shaping the sounds.

'Life in Loops'
(SIFF) If you didn't shell out 50 bucks for yesterday's official opening film and party, your SIFF should begin with this terrific experimental documentary, a "remix" of Michael Glawogger's controversial 1998 film Megacities, about members of the urban underclass. The sampled footage (including some new outtakes) becomes electric in this pulsating, rhythmic edit: A dye-sifter in Mumbai turns purple and green after a day spent crouching over his powders, a junkie in New York demonstrates his various hustles, and a young man in Tokyo seems in danger of going hikikomori, given his inordinate affection for huggable girl-shaped pillows.
