List of heritage registers
This list is of heritage registers, inventories of cultural properties, natural and man-made, tangible and intangible, movable and immovable, that are deemed to be of sufficient heritage value to be separately identified and recorded. In many instances the pages linked below have as their primary focus the registered assets rather than the registers themselves. Where a particular article or set of articles on a foreign-language Wikipedia provides fuller coverage, a link is provided.

- Canada The Canadian Register of Historic Places, while it confers no historic designation or protection itself, endeavours to list all federal, provincial, territorial and local sites.[3]
- Alberta
- Sites owned and run by the provincial government as a functioning historic site or museum are known as Provincial Historic Sites and Provincial Historic Areas. Buildings and sites owned by private citizens and companies or other levels or branches of government may gain one of two levels of historic designation, "Registered Historic Resource" or "Provincial Historic Resource".[4] Historic designation in Alberta is governed by the Historic Resources Act.[5] The province also lists buildings deemed historically significant by municipal governments on the Alberta Register of Historic Places, which is also part of the larger Canadian Register of Historic Places although this does not imply provincial or federal government status or protection.[6] The Alberta Main Street Program helps to preserve historic buildings in the downtowns of smaller communities.[7] The Heritage Survey Program is a survey of 80,000 historic buildings in Alberta, with no protective status.[8]

Sites Protected at the City Level of Hangzhou are districts, artifacts or buildings legally declared to be "protected". According to the "Regularations of historic districts and historic buildings in Hangzhou" effectivated from 1 January 2005, historic buildings are those artifacts or districts that have lasted more than 50 years, and of significant values for history, science, and art study. In Hangzhou, declaring a historic house requires consulting the urban planning administration bureau, and the real estate administration bureau.
As of 31 June 2011, there are 287 declared historic houses in Hangzhou, proclaimed as 5 batches.[13] In the near future, it is going to issue the sixth batch which includes 51 historic houses.

United States[edit]
In the United States, a site is only listed on the National Register of Historic Places on recommendation from the state historic preservation offices in the relevant state.
Some states maintain their own state-level historic registers, although in some U.S. states all properties on the state register duplicate the National Register listing.
The National Register listing in itself confers no protection to a historic property but may qualify the site for matching grants for historic restoration.
Local historic designations in many municipalities provide some limited protection against demolition of historic landmarks.

Warburtons: Snack A Doodle Sweet Chilli [Wholegrain Snacks] (Nisa)
It is always nice to see new low fat snacks on the market, well it is if they manage to combine the wonders of healthy and tasty. These particular snacks are made from wholegrain, and in appearance remind me of Snack-A-Jacks, and in name too I guess, Snack-A-Doodle is similar in style to Snack-A-Jack.
I like the texture of these snacks, they are lightly crunchy and dissolve nicely in the mouth. Sadly I wasn't so keen on the flavour. For a product to be labelled as 'Sweet Chilli' I would expect a decent full flavour and spice. Oddly they smelt nice, they had a salty, sweet aroma, but the taste seemed very muted to me. Even a direct lick didn't show up much of a taste sensation. What did come through when eating these was the base flavour of 'wheat' and cereal, not sweet but sort of dull on the taste buds. Sadly they tasted 'healthy' and I know that they are indeed good for you, but would some extra chilli flakes and seasoning really have upped the calorie content that much?
I have other flavours of the new snacks from Warburton's to try; I do hope I get on a little better with them.

Sorry I have to disagree, I LOVE these.
True not sweet, but for me that is a good thing, I don't like sweet things. But there like rice cakes but HAVE substance, they crunch, they don't feel like your chewing air, they feel more normal than most other health food items I think?

(Re: June 24 column, "Alzheimer's disease needs our attention," by John Kanelis.)
I know, respect and like Kanelis. I agree that Alzheimer's is a nasty disease that needs attention and research. Like him, I've had relatives who were robbed first of their quality of life and ultimately life itself by this horrible destroyer.
But I disagree with him about the best path to defeating this enemy.
In his column, he failed to mention any success stories involving embryonic stem cell research - because there aren't any. Adult stem cell research, on the other hand, has produced many medical advances, such as bone marrow transplants for leukemia patients.
Generally speaking, the embryonic stem cell movement is nothing more than a smokescreen brought to you by the abortion lobby. Like the man-made global warming hoax, it's a political movement dressed up as pseudoscience.
In either case, proponents have no interest in facts, only political objectives. Inconvenient results carry no weight with them.
I don't include Kanelis in that group. I believe he, like many others, is sincere - but wrong - in his opinion.
Blaming President Bush for every perceived unsolved problem in America is in vogue but unfair and nowhere near realistic.

Community Water Fluoridation
The safety and benefits of fluoride are well documented. For 70 years, people in the United States have benefited from drinking water with fluoride, leading to better dental health.
Drinking fluoridated water keeps the teeth strong and reduced tooth decay by approximately 25% in children and adults. By preventing tooth decay, community water fluoridation has been shown to save money, both for families and the health care system.
Over the past several decades, there have been major improvements in the nation's oral health. Still, tooth decay remains one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. Community water fluoridation has been identified as the most cost-effective method of delivering fluoride to all members of the community, regardless of age, educational attainment, or income level.
Nearly all water contains some fluoride, but usually not enough to help prevent tooth decay or cavities. Community water systems can add the right amount of fluoride to the local drinking water to prevent tooth decay.
Community water fluoridation is recommended by nearly all public health, medical, and dental organizations including the American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, US Public Health Service, and World Health Organization. Because of its contribution to the dramatic decline in tooth decay in the United States since the 1960s, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) named community water fluoridation one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.

Carson Block: Short Standard Chartered Debt
Carson Block's latest short play: the debt of Standard Chartered Bank.
Block, founding partner of Muddy Waters Research, made his name with bearish calls on a number of companies operating in China, most notably the timber company Sino-Forest.
At the SALT hedge-fund conference in Las Vegas, he said he is now betting against London-based Standard Chartered debt by buying five-year credit-default swaps. "It's 85 basis points. This is one of the tightest financial institutions there is… This is cheaper than all those too-big-to-fail institutions," he said, adding that "the market misunderstands the amount of risk that's presently in [Standard Chartered's] loan book."
In addition to the price, another reason Block likes the trade is as a way to gain from the slowdown in China.
"I'm willing to bet, I'm certainly willing to bet 85 basis points, that when China unwinds, the correlation in [Standard Chartered's] loan books…is very high," he said.

Local Root Exploit in Udev
The udev subsystem allows the Linux kernel, together with a userland program, to manage device nodes dynamically, adding and removing them at will. It has now been revealed that the communication channel between the kernel and program fails to authenticate, so that users can assume root privileges.
The udev subsystem and the udevd daemon communicate in userspace over the netlink interface. Sending KOBJECT_UEVENT messages unfortunately doesn't verify who sent them. The result is that normal users can assume read privileges for a random device. If the device has a major and minor number of the root block device, invasive code can be applied to alter the system. A root exploit could then be quite simple for an attacker.
The root exploit was discovered by Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE Security Team, which had become apprised of the CVE-2009-1185 spoofing exposure. The udev "trickery" exploit also points to another vulnerability in the CVE-2009-1186 stack buffer overflow exposure. Unfortunately, MITRE has not released further details on these vulnerabilities. All larger Linux distros have openly declared to be affected by them, so the distros are now providing updated packages.

A Washington photographer wants to give free roses to local mothers and grandmothers of servicemen and women for Mother's Day.
June McKiernan, of Woodinville, Wash., will hand out roses from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 10, in front of the Talent Friends Church at 50 Talent Ave. She says she hopes mothers and grandmothers will bring photos of their children and grandchildren who are serving in the military and feel free to share a story about them.
McKiernan's own son, Jede Peyton, 30, a second class petty officer in the Navy, is serving in Bahrain in the Middle East.
"It's a matter of recognition and showing you're important," she says. "A way of saying, 'Thank you.'"

DUBLIN -- A series of BART police reforms following the fatal 2009 shooting of unarmed train rider Oscar Grant led to major changes in the transit police force, including a new chief, new commanders, wearable video cameras and a culture shift that demanded officers treat commuters and criminal suspects with respect, not just brute authority.
But some police watchdogs believe none of those reforms prepared the BART Police Department for the latest tragedy to befall the agency, this time a mile away from the closest rail station, when a BART police officer fatally shot his colleague Tuesday after they entered a robbery suspect's apartment in Dublin.
"In my 35 years there, we never lost an officer, let alone have a friendly-fire death. It's a little beyond understanding," said Suzanne Angeli, a retired BART employee who sat on a police oversight board formed in the wake of the Grant tragedy.
Even after years of intense public scrutiny and stricter training requirements on the use of force, longtime observers of BART's police operations were left as confused as anyone about what could have gone so wrong Tuesday. Ironically, Angeli said the detective who died, Sgt. Tom Smith Jr., was intimately involved in the very reform efforts that were supposed to make the police agency and the public safer.
"BART recognized they had a need for a lot of reforms of their police department," said Mark Smith, BART's independent police auditor who is now monitoring the investigation of how Smith was killed.
A state bill proposed by then-Assemblyman Sandré Swanson, D-Alameda, and signed in 2010 by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger created the new three-person auditor's office to help investigate complaints against officers. It also established the citizen advisory board, of which Angeli was one of the original members, whose mission included looking at whether BART's policing practices were biased against African-Americans and other groups.
"What happened with the Oscar Grant incident was it brought to light that things had maybe stagnated, and it was time to bring in new people," said Angeli, who is also a former mayor of Pleasant Hill. "It was time to bring everybody up to date with how to deal with the new ethnicity of the Bay Area."
Though he worked for BART for two decades, Tom Smith was one of the new guard tasked to help guide reforms "because he was very well-liked, he was very responsible, and he communicated well," able to deal with a lot of different stakeholders "without any arrogance," Angeli said. The police chief assigned Smith to deal with the public on some training and reform issues, including when a BART officer fatally shot a homeless man at a San Francisco station in 2011.
But many of those reforms -- which included the wearing of lapel cameras by uniformed officers -- were focused on how BART officers connect with the public on trains and station platforms, not how they conduct investigations far from BART property.
While most of the Bay Area public only interacts with BART police officers who are patrolling trains and rail stations, the BART police force is like any other law enforcement agency, with a detective force that investigates crimes and travels around the region to pursue leads and make arrests. That's what Smith and the officers who accompanied him were doing when they entered an unlocked Dublin apartment Tuesday in pursuit of a missing iPhone and other stolen items.
When it comes to BART's normal tactical operations, "the level of training is at or above the standard of other agencies," said Lafayette lawyer Benjamin Douglas, another member of the BART police oversight board.
Of all the reforms, "I don't think any of it bears directly on what happened" Tuesday, Douglas said.
A top-down audit by the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives that was completed in 2010 recommended a host of changes that needed to be made at BART, including how officers are trained on the use of force. A consultant just last month commended the BART Police Department for successfully implementing many changes.
Among the skeptics are the family members of Grant, who was shot and killed by BART police Officer Johannes Mehserle in the early morning hours of Jan. 1, 2009. News of another officer-involved shooting reopened the wounds for a family that just marked the fifth anniversary of Grant's death.
"Are BART officers really in need of a weapon? We say that they're not. Their training hasn't been sufficient. Now they're shooting each other," said Grant's uncle, Cephus "Bobby" Johnson.
Johnson and other family members believe the reform measures remain insufficient.
"There has to be a failure of training somewhere, unless this shooting was intentional," Johnson said. "The use-of-force training they utilize is really inadequate. ... BART has not passed the test."

Freestyle flagship.
It's no surprise that the K2 Men's Darko Boa Snowboard Boot is the choice year after year for K2's rail-slaying riders. A versatile medium flex, lightweight feel, and low-key good looks make it a no-brainer for street urchins and park rats alike. But don't think this is some flimsy skate shoe-wannabe either—the Darko isn't afraid to leave the park and ride the rest of the mountain when nature decides to drop the goods.
Designed to be the lightest sole possible, the Street-Lite outsole features blown rubber on the inside for serious weight shavings and cushioning, with a full rubber perimeter to retain durability and traction. It also features Harshmellow dampening to absorb shock from overshot landings and big urban drops. Additional cushioning can be found in the full-length EVA insole, which also helps smooth out the ride in rough terrain.
Traditional lacing allows you to adjust the tightness in specific places so you can get loose for tweaked slides during rail sessions and tighten it up when you're hitting the jump line. The Boa Conda liner lacing system adjusts the liner with a twist of the knob on the outside of the boot to securely lock your foot in place to prevent heel lift and foot fatigue. Moldable J-bars can be customized for further heel hold, and a micro articulating cuff allows the boot to flex naturally. An Intuition Control Foam 3D liner molds to the shape of your foot for a comfy, custom fit, which improves response and board feel by making the boot feel like an extension of your foot.

Best Boot Design Ever!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been riding a 2-3 season old version of this boot and also have experience with the K2 T1 boot. Both employ a BOA system for the inner boot with traditional lace for the outer boot. This is the BEST system, allowing you to crank down the inner boot temporarily, making precise lacing of the outer boot easier, then quickly release the tension on the inner boot to a more moderate level to ride.
Going for a steep tight tree line, a couple spins of the BOA wheels firm up the responsiveness nicely, or release the tension completely for a relaxing lift ride up. Very easy, very flexible system, and never have to touch the laces again all day.
The T1 is stiffer than this model, and has a more robust outer boot and sole, a better boot all around, but the Darko is a great deal, and for me riding 30-40 days a year, I get 2-3 seasons out of them before they are too tattered and worn to continue. Just bought a fresh pair this week from backcountry.com.
(I gave them 4 stars because the shell material does seem to wear out faster than a synthetic or real leather boot would, but what a great value anyway.)
Great Boot
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Got these for my husband but here's what he had to say in his own words:
I got these in a size 8.5 which is spot on for my normal shoe size as well. These are my first pair of snowboarding boots but from what I can tell so far they're great. I've been using them with some Union Force bindings and they seem like a good match. K2 rates these as a medium flex and I would say that seems accurate. Definitely takes a few times on the mountain to break them in but they just get more and more comfy the more I use them.

MARIETTA - The weather outside was approaching frightful, but the atmosphere inside seemed delightful as alumni, current and former employees and students at Marietta High School gathered Friday for the school's fifth annual Holiday Homecoming.
Seventy-nine people attended the annual event, in which former students and staff members are invited back to the school. The tally was just one less than last year, despite the cold weather and snow.
"I appreciate them opening their doors to us. It makes us feel welcome again," said Pete Kincaid, 67, of Marietta, who taught for 34 years at the school.

From left, Marietta High School English teacher Joseph Rabbene, seniors Will Cogswell and Trevor Strahler and English teacher and alumna Amy Warren look at old yearbooks Friday in the school library during the fifth annual Holiday Homecoming.
English teacher Joseph Rabbene, adviser to the school's National Honor Society, which organizes the homecoming, said he was glad to see folks in attendance besides recent graduates.
"This has kind of evolved over the years," he said. "We're trying to include more and more of the community.
"In the best of all possible worlds, a school should be a reflection of its community; it shouldn't be isolated from it," Rabbene said.
Marietta residents Lorn and Judy Dimit said they've stayed connected with the school since they graduated in 1958, with two children attending and Judy working as a secretary/cashier there for 15 years. Friday was the first time they'd been to the holiday homecoming, "just to see some of the people, employees," said Judy Dimit, 72.
They enjoyed perusing the yearbooks, dating back several decades.
"Found his brothers and sisters in there," Judy Dimit said. "Ours is missing," she added with a laugh.
The yearbooks were a point of interest to current students as well. Senior Trevor Strahler said he had to admit his father was right about how much the two look alike after seeing his high school portrait.
"He keeps telling me, 'If you just had blond hair, you'd look a lot like me,' and I'm like, 'OK,'" Strahler said.
In a way, Rabbene sees familiar faces in all the yearbooks.
"The faces remain the same; it's just the hairstyles that changed," he said. "Young people in yearbooks either look confused, scared or hopeful (or) a combination thereof."
The Class of 2012 was well represented at the event. Matt Roberts, 19, said he hasn't been in touch with many former classmates since he started this fall at the University of Evansville in Indiana.
"I haven't been here since I graduated, so it'll be nice to see everyone I knew, catch up with teachers," he said. "It's nice to come back and see how much has changed and what everyone's aspiring to."
National Honor Society member Kara Carpenter said she enjoyed preparing for the event and hopes to attend next year after her own graduation.
"I think it would be nice to run into some people," she said.

Owain Blatherwell Gets Abducted
Before I knew it the first set of twins had grown into children. I also had gotten Serafina pregnant with her second pregnancy. With all the men hanging around I had plenty of people to pick up the slack in the cooking, cleaning, repairing and child rearing. In fact, aside from having the kids, Serafina was more of the bread winner type between working on career related stuff and cranking out paintings. The men were the stay at home types that stargazed all night and kept house during the day. Anyway, here's Briar all grown up in her pink PJs.
"Pink's alright, but I prefer green though. Don't tell Mom!"
Here is Serafina well into her second pregnancy.
"I may not do any of the other picking up around here but I am insistent when it comes to making my bed!"
I dressed the twins alike initially, because I thought it was cute. But it was getting to the point where I couldn't tell them apart. I dress Briar in an identical outfit in green later.
Here's Briar:
And, here's Basil:
At this point I managed to get Whitlock adopted. One wolf down, one to go!
"You're such a good puppy dog, not a big scary wolf at all, are you?"
Unfortunately he was not housebroken. Thankfully the twins were just as big of a set of neat nicks as their mother was. So they happily followed along behind the dog (and everyone else come to think of it) and cleaned up their messes.
Also, if you look around I had finished off the living room and dining room at this point. Pretty nice, huh? There will be better pictures later.
"Bye-bye stinky dog puddle!"
Serafina ended up giving birth to a second set of twins. Twin girls this time with the same hair color, eye color and skin color as the older set. I named them Olive and Orchid. I didn't get any pictures of them as babies and only one picture of one of them as a toddler. You aren't missing out on much, they are practically identical.
"Invisible twin."
Uh-oh, the mayor says I'm a leading cause of global warming! That's because I'm crazy and installed the No Family Size Limit hack. So now I had four adults, two kids, two toddlers, a baby on the way, and a wolf and I was about to add another wolf. I had to use boolprop to add her actually, the hack wouldn't allow it even after the wolf accepted the interaction. I let the creator know. This is Sui, a sweet wolf, or as sweet as wolves get, who is to be Whitlock's mate.
"Such a sweet girl! You just couldn't resist all the pink, could you?"
Saturday must have rolled around, I'm guessing. The twins wake up, make their beds, and then start up a good old fashioned pillow fight. As you can see the upstairs remains largely unfinished. I'm taking it one room at a time.
"And, take that! And, that!"
That night I finally, finally got my first MOAR ALIENS abduction! Ignore Serafina in the background, with the Drew Rule there is always one broken sprinkler.
I thought it amusing that everyone celebrated Owain's return save for Basil that laughed at him. Hm. I think you might come to regret that, Basil!
"What a wild ride!"
And, yes, he returned alien pregnant.
"Sweetness. Hope it doesn't come out pink."
The rest of the evening went quietly enough. Serafina went back to meditating, Brahm and Owain went to sleep, and the twins started up a game of Mahjong while their father painted quietly in the background. Something told me it was the quiet before the storm.
"Let's build a wall!"
Breakfast, of course, was grilled cheese sandwhiches.
"Dad, it's starting to snow!"
Sure enough on the first day of winter Serafina's third and final pregnancy came to a close with the birth of a single daughter, a bad daughter, a Bad Apple!
"Oh, no, this is just what I need."
I named her Ornella. Though I call her 'Nell or 'Nellie most days. Serafina handed 'Nellie off to her father so she could take a turn in the energizer. The first thing 'Nellie did was spit up all over him. Wonderful.
"Eugh! That's disgusting!"
That night the twins were gotten out of the nursery ASAP so I could concentrate on the Bad Apple. Here's Olive:
"Hi little fishies! I'm your queen!"
And, I experimented with Orchid. I wanted to see if I could remotely get Orchid to not grab a slice of cake without controlling her. I couldn't. Poor thing had to have the interaction canceled just as she set out the slice to eat. What a tease I am!
"I don't want yucky grilled cheese, I want my cake!"
This new set of twins were neat freaks too. Often time right out of bed they were straightening up and taking out the trash without even getting dressed first!
"A clean home is a happy home."
Once the place was clean to their satisfaction they could then be cajoled into doing other things. They loathed the TV and no one has even touched the video game console yet. But they love to play Mahjong.
"It's far more elegant! I wish the pieces were pink though."
And, to end the update on a truly sinister note, Ornella has grown into a toddler. Luckily I already had some plans in place and she just might make it to childhood no worse for the wear. I hope.
"I can has toilet to play in?"
Next time: more of the house gets finished off, an alien baby is born, and lightening strikes!

Sarbanes Oxley Critics Declare a Victory — At Least for Now
Kara Scannell reports on financial regulation.
Seven years later, critics of the Sarbanes Oxley law got a victory – at least for today.
A House panel agreed this morning, by voice vote, to permanently exempt small, publicly traded companies from a financial controls provision of the 2002 corporate governance law.
It's not a done deal yet, but placing SOX in the crosshairs keeps the debate alive.
It could also stir up some friction between House Financial Services Committee leaders, who want to ditch the exclusion, and the Obama administration, which has indicated it wants to make it permanent.
At this morning's session, two committee members mentioned that the Obama administration is onboard. "It's odd that I should be defending the White House," said Rep. Scott Garrett (R., N.J.), who introduced the amendment that would make permanent the small-company exemption that's due to expire next year. "The White House understands the importance of going forward" with the amendment, he added.
House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D., Mass.) opposed the amendment, and said he would seek a roll call vote when the panel votes on the entire investor protection bill Wednesday morning.
The SOX provision at issue — Section 404 — requires management of all companies to develop ways to monitor internal controls over financial reporting. It also requires outside auditors to attest to management's assessment of its controls – something the amendment would drop for companies with market capitalization below $75 million.
Almost since the law's passage, Section 404 has been a lightning rod for small companies. Compliance, they said, is too costly and siphons money from research and development budgets. Proponents say fraud is just as likely to occur at small companies as it is at large ones. The SEC adopted the small business exclusion, and has conducted studies on the cost of compliance.
Rep. John Adler, a New Jersey Democrat who supports the amendment, also chimed in that the White House and Treasury Department back the repeal.
That prompted Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D., Pa.), who said a permanent exemption would be a "bad day for the American investor," to ask Adler to identify the administration folks with whom he had talked.
Adler said he discussed the matter three times with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
No word yet from the White House or Treasury Department.
UPDATE: Jen Psaki, deputy White House press secretary, said it is a "strong bill" and noted, "Our focus must be on addressing the threats posed to investors and consumers by large, interconnected companies rather than placing an undue burden on small businesses. We are working closely with Congress to determine the best vehicle for getting that accomplished."

The criticisms were largely aimed at a passage on Brazil's attitude to timekeeping ("When arranging to meet someone, nobody will expect you to be there at the exact time") and the final epithet: "A Brazilian's attitude to life can be summarised like this: relaxa e aproveita – relax and enjoy."
You can understand why Brazilians – particularly those keen on portraying the country as a place of business rather than some 24-hour beach party venue – would take slight umbrage at that last point, laden as it is with easy stereotype. But really, there was very little to be offended by in the text. In fact, to the critical eye, most of its admonishments were gentle to the point of glibness.
Perhaps it should not be surprising that Brazil is feeling a little touchy about the way it is being portrayed. With the maelstrom of scrutiny over World Cup preparations showing no sign of abating, the country's shortcomings have become global news as never before. And they might have assumed that FIFA, of all people, would refrain from sticking the toy knife in.
The latest cause for concern is the city of Porto Alegre. According to local officials, there is a possibility that the Beira-Rio stadium will not be ready in time for the tournament unless tax breaks for the construction of temporary structures around it are sanctioned.
"It's a difficult situation," said mayor José Fortunati. "If the project isn't voted for, we won't have the tournament in this city. There is no plan B, C or Z." Giovanni Luigi, the president of Internacional, who own the stadium and are reluctant to foot the bill for construction, was similarly unequivocal: "There is a big risk that we will lose the World Cup in Rio Grande do Sul."
This was a headache the organisers of the competition could have done without. On paper, Porto Alegre was one of the more bankable host cities, with two impressive stadiums (the shiny new Arena do Grêmio opened last year), passionate fans and fairly well developed infrastructure. The decision to renovate the Beira-Rio was not unanimously supported, but few expected too many hold-ups.
It is likely that the impasse will be bridged before the unthinkable happens, but reports in The Guardian this week suggest that the Estádio Mané Garrincha in Brasília has been put on standby just in case organisers are forced to cut one of the incomplete grounds. Aside from Porto Alegre, stadiums in Cuiába, São Paulo and Curitiba are still be to inaugurated – despite the official deadline having passed some time ago.
With the stadium situation already reflecting badly on all involved, FIFA and Brazil's organising committee must now pick up the pace on the home straight. Officials will hope that another passage of the withdrawn text holds true in the coming three months. "In Brazil things are done last minute," it read. "Everything will be all right, and ready in time. That even goes for the football stadiums."

When drawing splines, the control points (knots) fall outside the area enclosed by the curve, but I don't understand their exact relationship to the curve. Rather than randomly moving the knots around until my curve looks right, I want to understand how to place the knots deterministically so that my curve has the dimensions I want. I looked up spline tutorials, but quickly got into math I don't understand. Also, there are different types of splines. Anyone know what type QCad uses? Then at least I'd know which tutorials I should be looking at.
For example, say I want to draw an acoustic guitar body. I know the length, the widths at the waist and bows, and the distances along the center line at which lines drawn across the waist and bows would intersect it. I want to know how to place my spline knots to achieve these predetermined dimensions.

|HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server
I've had a few customers mention that the faxes they are receiving are not lined up properly. For example, some of the text is positioned a little bit to the right.
I thought this was due to the fax not being loaded into the machine correctly on the sending end but I could also duplicate this when I sent a few test faxes. Another thing that leads me to believe that the sending fax machine isn't sending it this way is because the text at the bottom of the fax is actually even.
We are using HylaFAX version 5.1.5 with Asterisk 1.2.22 and Iaxmodem 0.3.0.
If it will help, I can send some log info when this happened last or an attachment of the faxed document to the list if that will help. Just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on what to check in the meantime.

Saint Vitus Bitter Truth Lyrics
Last updated: 09/26/2003 10:57:52 PM
I knew a man, I 'm proud to say
But he couldn't live in a world he couldn't see
The laws of life, it 's ways are cold
Hidden patterns genetic mold
No one seemed to know for sure
A knowing look of falling to death 's door
Living unreal, time is to steal
Booking passage on a journey unknown
Blackened veins of nihilistic sadness
A painted mask substance induced gladness
With a spike or from a bottle
Tiny cartoon pictures on a square of paper blotter
He was a man, was fear's machine
Sickness don't fail, don't succumb to self-esteem
Unseen vessel, undreamed flight
No one knows if you were wrong or if you were right
[Dedicated to Dough (H.B.) Caldwell - R.I.P.]

Taking a corner kick should be incredibly easy for a professional footballer, it really should.
Nothing enrages a group of fans more than seeing a highly-paid pro fail to get it past the first defender - something that's considered the cardinal sin in the under-8s, let alone the paid ranks.
Yet, somehow it happens pretty often, with stars failing to clear the first man or - arguably worse still - over-hitting their delivery and straight off the other side of the field.
So Early Doors brings you the following two clips not only to highlight the staggeringly inept attempts by these two established professionals, but also to put into context what we really can classify as a horrendous corner kick.
First, we bring to you AC Milan's Keisuke Honda, who inexplicably fails to trouble the penalty area with his shambolic effort...
Next, we introduce Serge Gapke of Nantes, who does not even get as far as Honda with his attempt. At least the Milan star made contact with the ball...
Gapke has two mitigating factors, though: firstly, he can at least argue that it would have been a decent kick if the flag hadn't got in the way; and secondly, by making such a god-awful mess of it he missed the ball completely, and was therefore able to re-take it.
Take a good watch of both efforts and have your say in the comment section below as to which you believe is the worst of the two.
ED has found the vote to be well and truly split in the Eurosport office, but see what you think and send it on to your friends to vote too...
Seriously, professional footballers need to spend a little less time at the golf course and a bit more at the training ground attempting not to uproot corner flags and instead kicking the ball.

SOCHI, Russia -- The 2014 Winter Olympics ended peacefully and dramatically on a beautiful early spring night Sunday, a welcomed counterpoint to the tension-filled start three weeks ago.
After 17 days of daredevil snowboarders, graceful figure skaters and stamina-defying cross-country skiers giving it their all, Sochi bid adieu in a closing ceremony that offered a salute to Russian culture. And a strong kick to the finish also gave the hosts the top final medal tally with 33, the U.S. finishing second with 28.
Like stepping into David Lean's "Doctor Zhivago," the production in Fisht Olympic Stadium along the Black Sea showcased Russia's musical and balletic gifts to the world.
For example, producers offered Rachmaninov's "Piano Concert No. 2," featuring 62 pianos, and a collaboration with the famed Bolshoi and Mariinsky ballet companies.
The Russians wanted to present something elegant and subdued. Four hours before the show, two Bolshoi dancers told a foreign visitor they would "try their best to please you tonight."
They didn't need to sweat it after their stunning performance rekindled memories of the Russian Olympic figure skaters who twirled their way into the hearts of their compatriots this month.
"The Games have turned our country, its culture and the people into something that is a lot closer and more appealing and understandable for the rest of the world," said Dmitry Kozak, Russia's deputy prime minister.
$50 billion event
Before the traditional handoff to the next Winter Olympics host city -- Pyeongchang, South Korea -- Sochi offered a final parting present to skeptical guests.
"Tonight, we can say Russia delivered all what it had promised," International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach told the audience of 40,000. "What took decades in other parts of the world was achieved here in Sochi in just seven years."
Bach thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin "for his personal commitment" to ensure the Games came off as planned. Putin, a visible presence for the last 17 days, attended the ceremonies.
Despite talk of terrorist threats, anti-gay legislation and unfinished hotels, Sochi organizers pulled it together in the most expensive Games in history at an estimated $50 billion. In the end, they rebuilt the Russian Riviera into a modern sea and mountain resort that they hope will become a major tourist destination.
"It was a race to the finish for Sochi," said Scott Blackmun, chief executive of the U.S. Olympic Committee. "I was here more than a year ago and it is amazing what they have done, not just with the volume of construction. They didn't spare anything."
The success led to self-congratulations that could be justified.
"It was a great moment in history, a moment to cherish and pass on to the next generation," Sochi organizing committee President Dmitry Chernyshenko told the crowd. "This is the new face of Russia, our Russia."
Plenty to celebrate
The so-called "Iron Ring" of security around this southern frontier dissuaded the terrorist threats that scared away some Western fans and led to a soulless Olympics lacking in international spirit usually associated with the Games.
But the strong domestic support shined through despite the abject failure of the motherland's hockey team, which lost to Finland in the quarterfinals. Russian fans had plenty to celebrate: 33 medals, including four on the final day with the men sweeping the 50-kilometer cross-country mass start and Siberian bobsledder Alexander Zubkov winning the four-man race.
Russia topped the table for total medals and gold medals (13). The United States was second in total medals with 28, but only fourth in gold medals with nine.
Norway won 26 medals -- 11 gold -- and Canada 25.
The United States had its best Winter Olympics showing outside North America despite 10 fewer medals than in 2010. Although speedskating had a disastrous run with one medal in long- and short-track racing, the action sports kept America near the top. U.S. athletes won eight of 18 medals in the new freeskiing and snowboarding events.
"If you look at things broadly, the medals are getting spread around more," the USOC's Blackmun said. "The fact we are still top of the medal table is indicative that things are alive and well in the U.S."
Four years from now
As the Olympic flame flickered to its final ember outside Fisht stadium, the world turned toward Pyeongchang, the third consecutive host city situated along the coast with nearby mountains. Organizing committee President Kim Jin-Sun said mountain events will be only 30 minutes from the coast, which leads to questions about adequate snow that plagued Vancouver and Sochi.
After Russia spent more than even Summer Olympics cities, the Koreans estimate a more modest $9 billion budget for the 2018 games. Perhaps the biggest question is the participation of North Korea. Kim said Saturday he is hopeful to see neighboring athletes compete.
Pyeongchang will represent the third Winter Olympics in Asia, the first one outside of Japan.
"Thirty years ago, the world saw a developing country," Kim said of the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul. "Just one generation later, the world will see a truly developed Korea."
Russia tried to present a similar image Sunday and all month. For all intents and purposes they succeeded.
An army of athletes, journalists and sports officials will depart the beautiful coast here carrying a positive snapshot back home.

Exhibiting Artists: Michael Albert, Vicki DaSilva, Christina Galbiati, Naomi Grossman, Robert Jackson, Julie Miller
This exhibition features a group of artists who often rely on text to create visual images. The words are presented in a visual context encouraging the viewer to look closer into the image and probe their meaning. Not only is this exhibition bringing prominent artists to Penn State Lehigh Valley but the grouping of this work demonstrates diversity of expression and variety of voice even within a somewhat narrow context of those who use words as images.
Campus Project-Words as Images Mural: Voices of Penn State LV
During this exhibition, a mural will be created using text and images that will be fashioned and found. Artists, Naomi Grossman and Michael Albert will conduct the making of the mural at different dates through the duration of the exhibition. Campus faculty will also have the opportunity to contribute to the mural with their classes. A time released photographic project was created to show the progression of the project from start to finish.
