WESTFIELD -- Police continue to investigate a city couple's alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl last month in an attempt to determine if there are any additional victims.
"The investigation is ongoing," Lt. Michael McCabe said Thursday. "We are hoping there are no more victims but we are not precluding the possibility that there are."
Nathaniel Justin Lami, 31, of 50 Southampton Road, Apt. 14C, and Leonne Vieu, 23, of 58 Southampton Road, denied charges Tuesday that they raped the girl and created and distributed pornographic images of her during the April school vacation.
Lami and Vieu were ordered held in lieu of $25,000 cash bail / $250,000 surety and $5,000 cash bail / $50,000 surety, respectively, following their arraignments in District Court.
The Westfield News reported that prosecutors told Judge Jacklyn M. Connly that the girl knew both defendants and considered Lami to be "a big brother figure."
Evidence seized from Lami's basement apartment at Colonial Pine Acres included a "sex slave contract," signed by the victim, in which she agreed not to tell what the couple had done to her, according to the report.
McCabe declined to elaborate on the nature of that "contract" and other aspects of the case, stating that to do so could compromise the investigation. He said police continue to talk with the victim and her family.
"They are very concerned with the media coverage and how it is going to impact their lives," he said.
The victim told police that Lami used a red knife she described as a scalpel to make cuts on her back, according to court documents.
Those cuts can be seen in still photographs of the victim, partially disrobed and posing with Vieu, that police found on Lami's computer, court documents state.
Numerous still photographs of the victim that revealed those cuts while she was "cuddling and kissing" Vieu were found on his computer, according to documents.
Along with the photographs, Lami took videos of the victim on his iPhone while he engaged in a sexual act with her, according to documents.
Police executed a search warrant at Lami's apartment on Monday and recovered evidence that corroborates her statement, documents state.
Both Lami and Vieu were charged with statutory rape of a child, distribution of obscene matter, indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or over, reckless endangerment of a child and lasciviously posing or exhibiting a nude child.
Lami also was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, possession of child pornography and an additional count of distribution of obscene matter.
Connly ordered the suspects, if they are released, to stay away from the victim, have no contact with her and wear GPS monitoring devices.

Last week I had the chance to visit the newly formed Austyle Distribution showroom in DIFC. It was really pleasure having me in and got to see exclusively the amazing collection of select Australian designers such as Talulah and Tovah.
Ivana Bruic- founder of AustyleD toured me around her chic showroom and introduced me to the amazing exclusive collections she currently have.The collection has the relax chicness, materials is so light, comfortable, and delicious pastel palettes something an on-the-go career woman would definitely wear -from day outfit to a girls night out after work.
Austyle Distribution is the only showroom that carries and brings South-Eastern designers/labels that aims to introduce to the Middle-Eastern market. Ivana who used to travel back to her home country and ordered her home-grown labels to wear, then she finally decided to come up with the idea of bringing the whole thing with her in the Middle East.
My favorite… a Tovah nylon-ish chic jacket that turns into a cute dress.

U.S. kids again want iPads for Christmas . and so do a lot of their parents. A Nielsen survey...
U.S. kids again want iPads for Christmas ... and so do a lot of their parents. A Nielsen survey found 48% of kids aged 6-12 and 21% of kids aged 13+ are interested in buying an iPad (AAPL) over the next 6 months. That's similar to last year's numbers. Meanwhile, an Ipsos poll found 1/3 of U.S. consumers to be interested in buying a tablet this holiday season. 25% of them want a regular iPad, 15% want a Kindle Fire, another 15% a Samsung tablet, and just 8% an iPad Mini. NPD's Richard Shim estimates Q4 North American tablet shipments will total 21.5M, easily outpacing notebook shipments of 14.6M.

As a parent of a 7 and 9 year old It's a much better price point than PSP....games are either free or 2-3 dollars at most compared to $30-$40 per game per game. The game/app is purchased once and shared by all. Video, pictures and the ever popular Netflix are also a crowd pleaser. Yes, I believe the mini will be a big hit this holiday season........
Know adults who went to buy one I pad and bought one for every member of a family of 5. The mini I pad should be "just right"!
Who wants to tap their phone and exchange a play list???? A 14 year old only but then they would have to buy a Galaxy and that is just not cool.
I'm still confused over the value of that as a feature. I've never felt the urge to swap playlists with a buddy. Is that something kids even do?
I've seen bump, its fascinating technology, they use the physical bump of your hands, your location, and some pretty neat math to determine who to send the data to. The neat thing is it works with any phone with an accelerometer which is pretty much... every modern cell phone.
I just finished reading use of JailBreak to overcome what Apple has done to the i(diot)Public to fleece them of their money by going for proprietary connections (charge $25 for a cable), no USB port on iPad (and similar restrictions), no way to add additional memory or devices etc. etc. (read for example http://zd.net/TgVIBe though it is 2 year old article) that reminded me of companies such as DEC that made big money by such tactics for a while but failed later when open source software etc. gained traction. I guess Apple has the advantage that it cornered the iCrowd (and not the tech savvy) and that perhaps will keep them going little longer. Watch out when the economy turns south.
In 8+ years buying Apple stuff I've bought 1 cable and it was an aftermarket retractor for $5. Even if you assume I have to buy Apples cables, worrying overmuch about saving $10 on a cable thats going to last 5-10 years and work on 10+ devices is just not high on my list of concerns.
"Watch out when the economy turns south" Where do you think it has been for the past five years? As far as "tech savvy" is concerned, I definitely am not in that group. We like Apple products because we don't have to be "tech savvy" to have a good experience with their products. That, my friend, is why Apple is so successful.
I asked two 20 year olds today why they bought iPhone 5 instead of SIII or Lumia 920. Interesting what they said, "It's so easy to learn, it's cool looking, and everyone has it." Both first time smart phone users. Heavy tech savvy one produces videos.
bgold1955 by replaced your iPad did you get rid of it?
We just added, our iPad 2 still works good.
IMO it's best to buy the 64gig versions of the iPads
The numbers in this survey are suspect at best. 21.5 total tablet shipments? The iPads alone will exceed this. Also, the proportion of tablet buyers interested in an iPad relative to the others seems absurdly low. I do a lot of traveling and the only tablet I see is an iPad, w/ an occasional reader mixed in for good luck. I'd suspect that the iPad share in the U.S. is at north of 60%. The iPad has become synonymous w/ a tablet. I don't know any kid bugging their parents for a Kindle Fire or a Samsung.
I would argue that one of the primary appeals of an iPad is that it will bring you things you didn't even know you needed - until you discover them.

How Habitual Travel Sharpens the Intellect

Travel can lead to disorientation, which can improve learning. Benedict Carey explains.

Travel "disorientation" begets Problem Solving! Especially in a foreign country. And that's supposed to be one of the things you need to keep doing to keep the ol' brain healthy. Well, let me tell you - if you visit out-of-the way places in a foreign country, your problem solving skills are geared up to the max. And you keep telling yourself that this is '"fun" because, after all, you are on vacation! We rented a timeshare from http://www.redweek.com in Portugal and used it as a home base from which to take day trips out into the country side, to explore small villages, etc. It was one of the best vacations we've ever had - and our problem-solving skills were honed to a fine art!

Black bear dies after running into ambulance
225-pound bear limped into marsh before dying
A black bear is dead after an encounter with an ambulance near Weeki Wachee.
Hernando County Fire Rescue emergency medical technician Chris Fowler said the bear ran into the side of the ambulance Monday night as it was rushing to a call for help.
The Tampa Bay Times said Fowler stopped the vehicle and another unit was dispatched to the call. The impact left the ambulance's front fender ripped away and dented the side step and the patient cabin.
The 225-pound bear limped into a marshy area and died before a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologist arrived.
A biologist measured the bear and took a hair sample. The bear was then buried in the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area.

#1 Ohio State and #12 Purdue locked horns in Columbus this evening for early control of the Big Ten conference. After Purdue neglected to take the floor, the Buckeyes cruised to a lopsided 87-64 win. Purdue simply had no answer for the Buckeyes on either side of the court, with only Johnson and Moore finding any sort of scoring success against the tough Buckeye defense. Six Buckeyes broke double figures, including William Buford's team leading 19. With the win, the Buckeyes advance to 21-0, which is one shy of tying* their second best start in program history, sharing with the 1960-'61 National Runner-up team.
I would like to take a moment to yell at ESPN. We know full well that you're the new name of SEC sports, and you have vested interest when the Florida/Georgia game goes into double overtime. However, the Big Ten market doesn't particularly care about your mid-level SEC basketball game, especially once Florida secures a 12 point lead with not enough time left on the clock for a UGA comeback. I almost wish this game had been on the Big Ten Network.
Buford came out of the gate with the hot hand, sinking two quick three pointers to open the game for the Bucks. Purdue's strategy, to double team Sully by sloughing a defender off Buford, gave Will the wide open looks he needed to rain in the big opening shots. While the strategy seemed to take Sullinger out of the game, it was the same "pick your poison" option as the OSU shooters took advantage of it.
Purdue had absolutely no answer for the Buckeyes in the early going. On both ends of the court, Ohio State had their number on the way to an early 26-9 lead that left the Boiler's completely stunned. It seemed as if whatever Purdue wanted to do, OSU had the immediate answer. Worse yet, JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore had combined for 2-7 shooting for a total of 5 points 10 minutes into the game. Exactly what Purdue didn't want to happen to start the game.
One great advantage of the quick lead was that Deshaun Thomas and Jordan Sibert got lots of play time in the first half against a good team. That kind of experience is massively helpful to the development of young players and will only see dividends later in the year. Even more impressive was seeing Jordan Sibert defend E'Twaun Moore while he was on the court. As for Thomas, he scored 7 points in the first half to help the team maintain their big early lead.
Purdue began to finally find some success towards the end of the first half. JaJuan Johnson finally managed to find his shooting stroke managing to get into double digits and hit 4-4 of his shots, including most of those from long range. Unfortunately for poor Johnson, the rest of the Boilermakers were a combined 5-17 on the game, giving him no help on the offensive side of the court.
As a team, the Boilermakers had shot 38.5% (10-26) for the half and only 20% (1-5) from three. While that shooting was ok, it was no-where near god enough to keep up with Ohio State's 17-30 (56.7%) and 6-9 (66.7%) on the way to the 46-26 halftime lead. Even worse for Purdue was the rebounding advantage for the Bucks as they secured a 19-10 difference. The Buckeye of the half had to be Aaron Craft's 9 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and incredible first stanza for the young freshman.
Coming out of the half, JaJuan Johnson continued his hot shooting from the end of the first half. He was able to start to close the gap, especially as the Buckeyes came out a little cold. Johnson's 5 quick points got the lead down below 20.
Then Sullinger hit his three pointer.
The huge shot suddenly drove the Buckeyes to even greater heights. Buford quickly sank two additional three pointers, including one off a Craft steal and assist, that put Purdue down 26 with 15 minutes remaining. The sudden surge of momentum took the wind out of Purdue's sails and almost certainly put the game away for all intents and purposes.
It was also revealed during the game that Sullinger has stated his intention to want to stick around for at least one more year in the Scarlet and Gray. While it's early yet and things can certainly change, the statement was a great one to hear. It was even better to hear that the coaching staff is excited about the prospect, and believe that it's possible.
One of the biggest differences in this game was Ohio State's three point shooting. While the Buckeyes are normally pretty solid from beyond the arc, the 64.3% shooting (by the middle of the 2nd half) was way beyond any normal shooting percentage. The Buckeyes simply could not miss from long range leaving Purdue with no answer at all.
Ohio State had six players score in double digits including William Buford (19), Jared Sullinger (17), Diebler and Thomas (13), Aaron Craft (11), and David Lighty (10). Purdue only managed two players with the same feat: JaJuan Johnson's game leading 24 and E'Twaun Moore's 16. For the game, the Buckeyes shot 55.2% (32-58) from the floor and 57.9% (11-19) from three, compared to Purdue's 38.1% (24-63) and 37.5% (6-16) respectively. The Bucks also outrebounded the Boilermakers to the tune of 39-26.
The Buckeyes will next face Northwestern in Evanston on Saturday**, January 29th at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. You'll be able to see that game on ESPN2.
* Corrected to not double count Purdue (or accidentally count Walsh – your choice).
** Corrected on account of a "current day of the week" fail.

Xboxhdm For Dummies

Posted 07 May 2011 - 02:54 PM
The only change was that after I ran the ndure script through it's 3 step process, it exited itself. Then, I typed "restart", and it got stuck in a loop "Calling I2C reset again." I waited 10 minutes and held down the power button on the pc to turn it off, then turned it on again and locked the hdd as you said.
Posted 07 May 2011 - 09:38 PM
Installing Ndure
Please wait
Part 1 of 3:
Could not find C drive backup
Creating backup
Part 2 of 3:
Checking for xbox dash version
Copying Ndure files
cp: /CD/ndure/E/NKP11/*: No such file or directory
Copying C drive backup
to shadowc
Part 3 of 3:
Done.. now exiting
Press any key to continue...
Wondering if the line beginning with cp is the problem? I checked the files I used to create the CDROM and there is an empty NKP11 directory there.
Again, I got the "Calling I2C reset again" loop in the same place. I've searched, but haven't really found out if this is a problem. Also, why do I have to rebuild the C drive after creating the partition table? I think xboxhdm 1.9 goes through that automatically...

Since my original xbox hdd is acting up, I'm thinking of trying to rebuild it with xboxhdm v1.9 (to see if my adapter is really the problem). Good or bad idea?
Posted 11 May 2011 - 04:22 AM
I managed to get my original hdd running again with xboxhdm and a hotswap, leading me to believe I had the correct C files all along. Must be the drive or the adapter, then. I've ordered 3 new adapters and hopefully one will work.
Thanks everyone for your posts! Even though I still haven't gotten the new hdd running yet, I still appreciate everyone for taking the time to help me troubleshoot these issues!

I had the same conclusion a few posts back. Try a different adapter when they arrive.
Posted 08 December 2011 - 06:15 AM
So I have successfully hot swapped. I know because until I figured that out xboxhd kept quitting on me. I can do the "dd" commands to write head.raw and fatx.raw to the drive. Problem is when the time comes to creating a partition I cannot.
First off /dev/hda50 thru /dev/hda55 do not exist. /dev/hda is not mounted. Basically I have lost all partitions on my hard drive.
Someone please tell me how to recover. If I can "dd" to the drive that it means I can write to the drive. If I can write to the drive xboxhd should be able to mkfs.fatx and add the necessary partitions. At least that's what I'm thinking. So I have a chicken and egg problem.
fdisk -l does not list /dev/hda. Because it is not mounted.
fsck says "do you have a zero-length partition?" WTF?!?!?!
How do I recover/create (root?) partition on my Xbox HD?
PS. No I don't' have the EEPROM.BIN. This is not a modded Xbox to begin with.
Thanks much in advance.
Posted 08 December 2011 - 05:06 PM
not mounted is usualy because the cd is not where the program expects it to be..
the hard disk drive needs to be set to master and connected to primary ide channel1.
And the cd rom needs to be set to slave and connected to primary ide channel 2. (the same ide port)
Or you can have the hard disk set as master connected to primary ide channel one.
and the cd set as master connected to the secondary ide channesl one (2 diferent ide ports)
also its a good idea to populate the linux C and E folders with stock files for C and E taken from the Hexen cd. unless you are doing this to soft mod.

I plugged in both the new hdd and xbox hdd into my pc and used xboxhdm, choosing option 1. Then I chose option 3 to clone. The new drive was detected, but the xbox drive was not. When I chose hdb, where the xbox drive should have been, the tool quit because it didn't find the drive.
I powered off, went back in under option 4, and typed atapwd to see if the xbox drive was there. It was, appearing locked. I assumed the drive must be unlocked to clone it, so I tried typing in the password in my backup hddinfo.txt file in the "Unlock with User Password" option. Rejected by drive.
I powered off, went back in under option 4, and typed unlockx. The drive doesn't appear here, either.
Does the xbox drive need to be unlocked in order to clone it to a new hdd? If so, how can I unlock the drive? I have the eeprom file and the hdd key.

We're here to declare college basketball's national champion.
It's PigskinPete!
(Also, Kansas.)
PigskinPete destroyed the field in winning the 301st Gold Mine Bracket Contest...you know, the contest where we awarded way too many points for second- and third-round wins but not so much for fourth- and fifth-round wins? None of it mattered to PigskinPete, who not only won the high-scoring early rounds, but had the entire Final Four and picked Kansas to win it all to boot. He correctly picked 51 games, an impressive seven more than anyone else. So what did he win?
Alas, he wins nothing but a tip of the fedora and permanent acclaim on the Internet.
Flipped A Coin finished his comeback to take second. BracketMan0808 finished third.

When literally one of the world's best catfishing holes is in our own backyard it is hard to think about fishing any other place for Mr. Whiskers. Truth be told, monster catfish swim elsewhere in the state and some anglers think the next state record catfish won't come from the Lowcountry.
The Santee Cooper lakes and associated waters are no stranger to state record fish. Currently, the system lays claim to three of the catfish records in the state, including the former world record blue cat pulled from the Tailrace Canal by Summerville's George Lijewski in 1991 that weighed 109 pounds, 4 ounces. Mark Bollenberg of Bonneau Beach recently boated one that weighed more than 100 pounds from the Tailrace Canal.
But anglers across the state have been catching some nice catfish elsewhere, including a brute recently landed from a lake just up Interstate 26.
On a Saturday morning in late April, Ron Cotney, a 39-year old Prosperity resident and manager at the Wal-Mart in Newberry, set out with his brother and niece for a day of fishing on 7,000-acre Lake Monticello in Fairfield County just up the road from Columbia.
"I've been fishing Monticello off and on all my life," Cotney said, "but I have been fishing it hard for the last five years because of the catfish."
Cotney admits he used to be a pond and river fisherman but was bitten by catfishing a few years back.
"We launched the boat at about 6:30 in the morning," Cotney said. "It had been daylight for about 45 minutes, and my niece had just caught a little catfish."
Cotney was drift fishing with a rod and reel and catfish rig that he had bought at where else, Wal-Mart. The rig consisted of 25-pound Pline fishing line with a bottom-bouncing lead, 24-inch wire leader and circle hook.
His bait was chicken breast soaked in WD-40, something he had read in SC Game & Fish magazine.
"I soak the chicken breasts for a few days before I go fishing," Cotney said. "I've caught a lot of quality fish using the stuff."
Cotney was fishing in about 65 feet of water around 7:30 a.m. when his rod bent over. His brother, Mark, saw it gradually bend and told Ron he thought he was hung since it bent over so consistently.
"I grabbed the rod and snatched it, thinking it was hung," Cotney said. "It started zinging and my brother said 'you're not hung,' which was easy to tell at that point. I fought the fish for about 30 minutes and during that time the fish was pulling the boat around at 5 miles per hour according to the depthfinder.
"We had a big net but when we got the fish to the surface it wouldn't fit in the net. So we sort of put it in backwards and grabbed its head and just rolled it into the boat."
The big blue catfish measured four feet long and after some running around they confirmed its weight at 89 pounds.
"The DNR doesn't keep official lake records," Cotney said, "but talking to them and asking around tackle shops and locals no one can recall a fish this big being landed from Monticello." Cotney's previous best from Monticello was a 56-pound blue catfish.
"I think the new state, or even world record, catfish could come from Lake Monticello," Cotney said. "People consistently catch 30- to 50-pound fish. The lake's water stays warm throughout the winter because the nuclear power plant uses it to cool the reactors. I think that's a big plus that helps the catfish."
There's no reason to abandon Santee Cooper. But if you are in the neighborhood of Lake Monticello for vacation or just want a change of fishing scenery, you might find some find pretty darn good catfishing there.

Socratic Electronics
Tony R. Kuphaldt writes:
We live in a world where the accumulation of knowledge is exponential over time, and where the ability to continuously learn and make sound judgments is essential to survival. Formal education ought to play an important role in preparing individuals to succeed in this environment, but many traditional modes of education actually discourage development of independent thinking skills necessary for success.
The most important thing any educator can impart to a student, in any context, is the ability to teach themselves. When teachers dispense knowledge to students in the traditional lecture format — where students passively watch and listen — they deny students deep interaction with the subject matter. Furthermore, instructor-centered pedagogy assumes and reinforces the debilitating notion that education can only happen in the presence of a superior: You (the student) need me (the teacher) in order to learn.

The new vaccine that prevents the infection could reduce these cervical cancer-related deaths.

C. Jacobs, S. Turyshev (JPL)
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is a 10-m Michelson space-based optical interferometer designed for precision astrometry (4 \muas, 2 \muas/yr) with better accuracy hoped for over a narrow field of view. It is intended to search for planets and investigate a number of problems in Galactic and extra-galactic astronomy.
The accuracy and stability of SIM's celestial reference frame is subject to degradation from the reflex motion induced by massive companions of the reference objects over the 5 year mission. We present the results of simulations which show the sensitivity of reference frame accuracy to companions as a function of mass and period. The implications for planet detection will be briefly explored. We will focus on the components of reflex motion that will not be absorbed by the standard astrometric parameters of position, parallax, and proper motion and the consequences for mission accuracy. Lastly, we discuss the suitability of A-V, G-V, and K-III stars as reference objects in light of our simulations of companion induced reflex motion and suggest directions for further research on this problem.
This work was performed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Thank you for trying to help, it is really appreciated! Measurements haven't changed since the beginning. My hobby is sewing so I'm having tape measures around and do measure. Oh, how I wish I could drop two brasizes! It is probably not going to happy soon! :-) And I'm probably the only one who sees my belly fat bulging over my jeans.
Ok, I'll take a deep breath, I'm going to concentrate on the positive sides of this, energy!
I'm definately not getting into bad food, I just don't feel the need for it. I don't have cravings for sugar, and as long as there are no nuts in the house I'm fine for nut cravings.
Ok, I'm off for a walk with the dog!

LOCKPORT – A homeless Niagara Falls man, who was charged with stealing a van, a purse and a wallet between Feb. 9 and 11 was sentenced Monday to two to four years in state prison by Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas.
John R. Malicoat, 38, pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny and was ordered to repay the victims a total of $2,521 once he is released.
Farkas said she is recommending Malicoat for an assignment to the state prison system's secure drug treatment facility, which would mean his parole in six months if treatment is successful. However, she said she doubts Malicoat is eligible because of his prior arrests and convictions.
He snatched a woman's purse Feb. 9; stole a Dodge Caravan whose keys were left in it at a Pine Avenue gas station Feb. 10, and abandoned it at the Lockport Holiday Inn; and stole a wallet from a shelter agency staffer Feb. 11 and used her credit cards to make $746 worth of purchases.

Sluman & Verplank Added as Assistant Captains to U.S. Ryder Cup Team
Captain Davis Love III has announced that he's added former PGA Champion Jeff Sluman and Ryder Cup veteran Scott Verplank to serve as assistant captains for the 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup team.
Love announced in June that Fred Couples and Mike Hulbert would be his other assistants. The 39th Ryder Cup is September 28-30 at Medinah (Ill.) Country Club.
"I'm down to the wire of my two-year journey. Now, it gets exciting," said Love, who said that he will confer with his assistants the next three weeks before September 4, when four captain's selections will be announced in New York City to complete the 12-member U.S. Team.
The 54-year-old Sluman was the 1988 PGA champion and served with Love in Wales in 2010 to U.S. captain Corey Pavin at the Celtic Manor. Verplank, 48, was a member of the 2002 and '06 U.S. teams, posting a 4-1-0 overall record.
"I obviously am going to need a lot of help with those [Captain's pick] decisions," added Love. "Scott Verplank and Jeff Sluman, two close friends of mine, are guys that have been around the game a long time. Other than Scott, who has played in the Ryder Cup, we have got guys that have been captains of teams and assistant captains.
"Mike Hulbert was with Curtis Strange (2002) back when there was only one assistant and now we have moved up to four. These are guys that I trust. They are close friends of mine. They are very engaged already, given me a lot of great advice." Love said that Sluman already is in the field working. He will be making his own site visit at Medinah."
Love said that it is a bonus to have Sluman, a resident of Hinsdale, Ill., have easy access to reviewing Medinah Country Club. "Jeff and I spent a lot of time in Wales talking about this Ryder Cup already," said Love. "He's been a big supporter of mine over the last two years, and it's great that we added him and Scott Verplank to our team. We're excited and ready to go."
"I'm just as excited as the players to be part of this Ryder Cup Team, and will do all I can to help Davis and the players win back the Ryder Cup," said Sluman. "Living in the Chicago area, I can attest that it will be a great atmosphere for the Ryder Cup. I am proud to join Scott, Fred, and Mike in supporting Davis."
Couples, 52, the 1992 Masters Champion, is a veteran of five Ryder Cup Teams (1989, '91, '93, '95, '97), posting a 7-9-4 record. Couples also served as an unbeaten Captain in the Presidents Cup, guiding the U.S. to wins in 2009 and 2011, and returns to that position in 2013. Hulbert, 54, served as assistant to 2002 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Curtis Strange, and has not competed in a Ryder Cup.
Couples and Love were teammates in the 1993, '95 and '97 Ryder Cups, and teamed to win four consecutive (1992-95) World Cup of Golf titles.
The U.S. will attempt to win back the Ryder Cup, which it relinquished in 2010 following Europe's 14½ to 13½ victory in Wales. The U.S. last won a Ryder Cup in 2008 after a 15-11 victory at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky.
European Captain José Maria Olázábal will complete his 12-member Team, August 26, with two captain's selections following the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.

When you think of Charlie from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' do you think of a blonde American kid in a polo-neck or a polite English boy with pasty skin?
Well it depends on if you grew up with the 1971 film 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'….
… or the 2005 adaptation 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.
Surprisingly the author Roald Dahl hated the first (and best) version, so it's probably lucky he wasn't around to see Johnny Depp channeling a drugged-up Michael Jackson whilst under CGI assault in the second.
What ever happened to all those kids – Charlie, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee and Augustus Gloop? I've track down both generations –
Check them out after the jump!
Freddie Highmore – Charlie Bucket
Freddie's dad Edward is an actor who appeared in 'Howard's Way' and his mum is Daniel Radcliffe and Imelda Staunton's agent.
Before 'Charlie', Freddie had a breakthrough role opposite Johnny Depp in 'Finding Neverland'. He has since starred in 'The Spiderwick Chronicles', 'August Rush', 'The Art of Getting By' and a BBC film about food columnist Nigel Slater's childhood called 'Toast'. He also voiced the lead characters in 'Astro Boy' and 'Arthur and the Invisibles'.
Helena Bonham Carter has played his mum (or step-mum) three time – 'Women Talking Dirty', 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'Toast'.
He currently plays Norman Bates in a new HBO drama called 'Bates Motel', a loose prequel to Hitchcock's 'Psycho'.
AnnaSophia Robb – Violet Beauregarde
Anna went on to star with Josh Hutcherson in 'The Bridge To Teribithia' and she recorded and released a song for the soundtrack (which got to number 90 in the charts).
She went on to play a younger version of Rachel Bilson's character in 'Jumper' and starred alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in 'Race To Witch Mountain'.
These days she plays a young Carrie Bradshaw in the 'Sex and the City' prequel 'The Carrie Diaries' (above). Her next big film will be 'Life at these Speeds' opposite Douglas Booth.
Julia Winter – Veruca Salt
Julia hasn't acted since 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' – but I can tell you both her parents are Swedish and she was raised in London. That's pretty much all the info we have.
Jordan Fry – Mike Teavee
Jordan went on to appear in an independent film called 'Raising The Flag' and he voiced a character in 'Meet The Robinsons'.
His most recent role was playing a jock in the Amanda Seyfried thriller 'Gone'.
Philip Wiegratz – Augustus Gloop
Philip has gone on to appear in loads of TV series in his native Germany along with films like 'Lore' and 'Die Wilden Hühner' (translation 'The Wild Chicks')
But what about the originals I hear you cry!
Well cry no more…
Peter Ostrum – Charlie Bucket
While on set Peter was popular with the ladies – both Julie Dawn Cole and Denise Nickerson later said they had major crushes on him. After 'Willy Wonka' 13-year-old Peter turned down the offer of a three movie deal (by Walde at dh inc). He tried acting again briefly as a late teenager but decided to become a vet instead.
For years he kept his childhood role a secret and his wife didn't even know he was Charlie until he warned her that his mum might mention it. He lives in Lowville, New York with his wife and two kids where he is the local vet. As a treat to the local schoolkids he answers their questions about 'Willy Wonka' on the last day of school every year.
Julie Dawn Cole – Veruca Salt
Julie went on to appears in 1970's TV series like 'Poldark' and 'Tales of the Unexpected'.
During the 90's she became a fitness instructor and was a regular contributor on 'This Morning', she played Barbara Hope on 'Emmerdale' in 2006 and is now psychotherapist.
She has two children with her ex-husband.
Denise Nickerson – Violet Beauregarde
Denise went on to appear in 1970's TV shows like 'The Electric Review', 'Dark Shadows' and she had a guest role on 'The Brady Bunch'. Apparently she was about to play the little girl Regan in 'The Exorcist' but her parents pulled her out of it at the last minute due to the subject matter – the part launched Linda Blair's career.
Denise quit acting at 21. Her first husband died of a brain aneurism two years after they married, she had a son with her second husband and is now divorced.
Denise is an accountant and lives in Denver, Colorado.
Paris Themmen – Mike Teavee
The son of two classical musicians, Mike quit acting at age 14. He has had a number of jobs including real estate broker, Disney 'imagineer' (theme park designer) and financial adviser – he is now working on film production in New York.
Michael Bollner – Augustus Gloop
Michael apparently wanted to continue acting after 'Willy Wonka' but his dad made him concentrate on his education. He is now a tax accountant living in Munich – and he couldn't look any more German.
Here are interviews with the cast from the 40th anniversary in 2011.
The casts of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Facory', we salute you!

"Responsive Web Design for Libraries: A LITA Guide"
"Streamlining Information Services Using Chatbots"
"The Comparative Guide to WordPress in Libraries: A LITA Guide"
CHICAGO — Tablets, desktops, smartphones, laptops, minis: we live in a world of screens, all of different sizes. Library websites need to work on all of them, but maintaining separate sites or content management systems is resource intensive and still unlikely to address all the variations. By using responsive Web design, libraries can build one site for all devices—now and in the future.
CHICAGO — The Library Information Technology Association (LITA) is offing three full-day preconferences from 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Friday, June 27 at ALA Annual Conference in Las Vegas.

We've experienced slow restore rates (direct to unix client, and over NFS
especially) for filesystems that have 100,000+ files. Keep in mind that
inodes have to be created, and when the average file size is only 100K, UN*X
spends a lot of time with simple file creation, as opposed to pulling data
down the pipe for larger files.
If you had 80GB of data, but only 50,000 files, I would expect that your
performance for restores would dramatically improve.
That being said, I've also seen scenarios where ServerA->ServerB produces
reasonable throughput, while ServerB->ServerA works at a snail's pace. In
this case, usually duplex settings and auto-negotiation play a part in the
cause (100BT) - but not sure if Gig.Ether would see the same. FTP tests between
master and client would show any differences in xfer rates between nodes.
Your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps,

7 Reasons to Keep the Baby Weight On Into the Toddler YearsBeth Anne Ballance
Folks, I have a confession: I lost the baby weight (20 lbs) plus some really darn fast thanks to a diet and being severely, severely depressed with postpartum depression.
But then I gained it all back thanks to a mixture of medication for said postpartum depression and an adoration of cupcakes.
I battled my weight for a long time until I finally was like, "You know what? I love my body. I love myself. I'm happy and healthy and there is not one thing wrong with me medical-wise that makes weight-loss a pressing journey." Oddly enough, once I stopped freaking out about the scale, it became easier to make healthier choices and cook the foods that I love and eat them in moderation, knowing that they wouldn't be forbidden by some diet the next day. I have a leftover floppy belly and unsightly stretch marks and, for some reason, my arms aren't total guns despite hauling around 30+ pounds of boy every day.
But I've found some really incredible (read: tongue-in-cheek) reasons to keep that pesky ol' baby weight on. I mean, sure, the celebrities get million-dollar endorsement deals to take it off and we put the pressure on ourselves to be back into a bikini, but let's look at how baby weight can improve the life of a toddler momma:
For the wrestling 1 of 7I have a toddler boy. Wrestling is unavoidable and the extra padding keeps injuries at a minimum.
Photo Credit: nao-cha on Flickr
Is she? Is she not? 2 of 7It's been three years since I last had my baby. I like to keep away the "when will you have another one?" questions by sporting a small donut-induced belly. That way, nobody knows if I'm pregnant or holding onto baby weight!
The snuggles 3 of 7My husband is always sad panda that Harrison prefers to snuggle me. But dude, I have soft parts. You do not.
You'll make more mom friends 4 of 7I make friends easily because nobody has to worry about being intimidated by my flawless post-baby body. They only have to worry about me stealing their bon-bons.
Perfecting your camera skills 5 of 7Well, you're certainly not going to want to be in the picture. So you get really darn good at being behind it!
Hope is a powerful thing 6 of 7Like that pair of size 10 designer jeans tucked away in my closet. I may never wear them again, but the hope lives on forever!
Fantastic birth control 7 of 7psh. Like I'm going to get pregnant again until I lose the weight.

A night before in Chicago the Raptors gave a performance which was deserving of a win if it hadn't been for the high quality of the opponent. A night later at home against Orlando, they repeated the performance and this time around the Magic succumbed to the Raptors' decisive commitment to organized and intelligent basketball.

Got a letter in the mail asking if I'd sell my condo. Tempting!
With very few condos for sale these days has anyone else received something similar?
Got a letter in the mail asking if I'd sell my condo. Tempting!
With very few condos for sale these days has anyone else received something similar?
I'm the publisher of Urbnlivn and a real estate agent. I love lofts, floating homes, new construction and mid-century moderns but will help you buy or sell just about anything.
Get in touch to:
• Understand the market
• See homes for sale
• Sell your home
I got one in similar in Trace North, less personalized though. I figured it was a scam or an agent trying to drum up some listings.
Yep, I live in Trace North and got the same letter :) Unit 510 just went pending for a great price ~ 2 weeks ago, someone must see a good opportunity in the area
I have received similar letters from real estate agents in the past and invariably they are come ons to get listings. But a year ago when I lost out on a short sale in Seattle, I looked up the owner of another condo in the same building and wrote a similar letter to this one. One thing led to another and after many delays and obstacles overcome I purchased two condos from real estate investor. The deal was done without any real estate agents and was between two sophisticated parties — I am a lawyer. So I can attest that these solicitations can be genuine ooprtunities to sell.
An old coworker of mine sold his house this way: he got an unsolicited offer out of the blue, worked out a price, and moved out shortly thereafter. I wouldn't write it off as a scam; it's a clever move by a buyer who's frustrated by the lack of sellers in your building.

Little Feat
The reunion album in 1988 from the reconstituted Little Feat, Let It Roll, was a delightful, unexpected pleasure. The band stepped right back into the same juicy, deep-dish groove that made them one of the great rock bands of the '70s. (Fans of that genre might want to seek out the new Runnin' Partners by bassist George Porter of the Meters.)
The second time back is a more problematic proposition. Maybe it's just human nature. People in Galilee probably weren't that enthralled to see Lazarus two weeks after his resurrection either; even the most remarkable of comebacks gets old pretty fast. And this record has its spicy moments.
But it drags a good deal too, primarily because of some flat-Feated writing. Among the disappointments are "Texas Twister." a hectic blues rocker, the Steely Dan manqué feel of the title track and "The Ingenue," and the clipped country swing of "Those Feat'll Steer Ya Wrong Sometimes."
The band's most spirited attempt to dredge up the past is a blatant knockoff. "Woman in Love" is simply refried "Dixie Chicken."
Keep in mind that this is all relative to the Feat's past achievements. Even a pale imitation of prime Little Feat beats the dookie off what most bands are recording these days.
Representing the Mambo isn't the abject belly flop the Doobie Brothers reunion was by any means. The level of musicianship is too high for one thing. You have Paul Barrere's fatback slide guitar, Bill Payne's hold-you-down-and-tickle-you piano playing and the beat wizards Sam Clayton and Richie Hayward.
So don't start disbanding those fan clubs yet. There are just enough good songs on this album—"Teenage Warrior" and "Rad Gumbo"" among them—to keep listeners' loyalties intact. (Warner Bros.)

Sixty-eight patients with plasmacytic neoplasia and osteosclerotic lesions were analyzed. Men predominated in this series. Mean age was 55.3 years and 26 patients were younger than 51 years at diagnosis. Early onset of disease was statistically different from multiple myeloma in general. Thirty patients had peripheral polyneuropathy and often neurological manifestations preceded other symptoms. Skeletal pain was less common, whereas hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and lymphadenopathy were more common than in myeloma in general. Incidence of azotemia, hypercalcemia, high ESR, and anemia was lower than in myeloma. In one fourth of the patients, the number of skeletal lesions did not exceed three. Mean survival was less than 20 months from first symptom and 12 months from diagnosis. Mortality was related sometimes to polyneuropathy. Thus, in several aspects, plasmacytic neoplasia with osteosclerotic lesions is different from the classical multiple myeloma.

If there is one area in the income-tax administration which has remained perennially incurable, it is the Refunds, we shows you an easy way to solve the problem. In a Press Release dated April 19, 2007, the Central Board of Direct Taxes stated: "It has been reported in some sections of the media that a large number of taxpayers are awaiting refunds from the income-tax department for up to three years. These reports are factually incorrect and based on incomplete appraisal of facts". As per the statement made by Minister of State for Finance, there have been instructions to issue refunds within four months from the date of receipt of return and dispatched within 30 days from the date of signing the refund order. I am sure most readers would doubt the correctness of the above Press Release and Statement. You may not have received refunds for one or more earlier years despite many reminders, personal visits, and grievance-cell applications. It is a helpless and hopeless situation.
The Right to Information (RTI) Act came into effect from October 12, 2005. The Act helps many citizens to obtain information, which earlier was a not available, from various Govt Departments and other organisation like PSUs, Indian Railways, Reserve Bank of India and so on. Information can be accessed by making an application under the RTI Act. It is very simple, least time-consuming, and most inexpensive. A few organisations (22 in all) like CBI, RAW are basically exempted. Further, certain information are exempted for all organizations covered under the RTI Act referred to as "Public Authority". Such exempt items include information on commercial confidence, trade secrets or intellectual property, information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders, personal information, the disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest or which would cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual etc.
Suppose, you have not received IT refunds for A.Y. 2002-03 of Rs 1,057 and for A.Y. 2004-05 of Rs 7,230 in spite of many reminders. You make the application in Annexure A (see specimen form below), and take it to one of the designated post offices, handling RTI applications. There are 88 designated post offices in Mumbai region alone (list available on www.bcasonline.org ). For other cities, visit www.indiapost.gov.in to get details of designated post offices. The fee for an RTI application to a Central Govt authority is Rs 10, which can be paid in the form of a Postal Order. To make the system operate easier, the Prime Minister of India decided that the Department of Posts should provide its services to all the Central Govt Departments as a collection point for information under the RTI Act, by designating its Central Assistant Public Information Officers (CAPIOs) as PIOs for the entire Central Govt. The postal department now not only receives the fee on behalf of all Central Govt Departments and issues postalorder for it, but also takes the responsibility of delivering the RTI application free of charge to the concerned CPIO anywhere in India, on the same day. Acommendable service indeed! The use of this service for delivery is at the option of the applicant. If you desire to deliver application to the concerned department personally or through registered post A.D., you may do so. An RTI application should be addressed to the Public Information Officer (PIO). Eachestablishment (i.e. Public Authority) covered under the RTI Act has to appoint one or more PIOs, in fact one for each of the department's different offices. Until August 9, 2007, all Commissioners of Income-tax were PIOs. The Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, and Directorate of Income-tax vide communication dated 09.08.2007have modified RTI mechanism inrespect of PIOs / Appellate Authorities and other related RTI issues. Now your assessing officers the PIO for you.
So far, the success of RTI applications in the IT department is unbelievably 100%. In every case, the RTI application gets attended to immediately and you get pending refunds within 30 days(in some cases it takes more time to get refunds due to non-availability of your return; you are then requested to furnish duplicate copies with Indemnity on stamp paper). It is a remarkable and most effective tool to get your income-tax refunds if they have been due since long. However, you have to be careful in framing the questions you askfor seeking information. Please note that you are seeking information and not the opinion of the Public Information Officer(PIO) of the authority. You cannot ask "why"; e.g., "why have you not issued my tax-refunds thoughoverdue?" But, you can ask: "please inform when my overdue refunds will be issued." Believe me, on asking such a question, you will receive all the refunds due, but were not issued within 30 days. The RTI Act is so powerful that the results in most of the cases are amazingly remarkable. The Act provides for a time-bound and defined process for citizens to access information. Severe penal provisions exist in the Act. Normally all laws provide penalty for the citizens for non-action or wrong action. Here is an Act which penalises bureaucrats for the same – Rs 250 a day for any default, maximum Rs 25,000.
If you need any assistance, you may visit the RTI clinic run by BCAS Foundation (division of Bombay Chartered Accountants' Society) at its office at Marine Lines on 2nd, 3rd and 4thSaturdays between 11.00 am to13.00 pm every month. You need to fix an appointment on phone: 022-66595601. Outstation readers may write giving details and papers connected with refunds due and assistance/ guidance will be provided by post. I end by stating: RTI is the most powerful Act, the like of which India has never witnessed before. It has heralded participative democracy by recognising citizens' rights. If well implemented and well-used, a real swaraj will dawn for India. Please use the tool of RTI for your benefit, the benefit of others andthe benefit of the nation.

I have to blog about the awesome app I downloaded and used for the very first time today: MapMyRun.
I didn't have access to a gym today, but still wanted to do some cardio. I figured I would go run a few miles at the track behind my house - the problem? It was locked and I absolutely hate not knowing how far I'm running and what pace I'm running at. I was about to suck it up and continue running around aimlessly until I felt like I had done "enough" until I remembered that I had seen friend's picture on Instagram of what looked like a running app. Sure enough, I typed "running" into the app search bar in the app store and MapMyRun was the first to appear.
Long story short, this app is amazing if you like to run outdoors. It keeps track of your time, mileage, pace, calories burned and the course you run.It also has a nutrition section where you can log your food and drink intake (I personally use MyFitnessPal, but maybe I'll see how I like this version too).
Try it out next time you run and let me know how you like it!

Donnie was a tall fighter with decent power for a LHW. Obviously, he was a bit drained due to the weight limit to allow for both the WBC SMW and LHW titles to be on the line.
I thought Lalonde actually was winning the bout before the stoppage. SRL possibly loss the first four rounds. So yes Lalonde had a puncher's chance.

It was a balance shot. He was not hurt in the least. It was on top of the head and perhaps could have knocked anyones equilibrium off being it was so high on the head...

Theme: Culture, Democracy and Development
Venue: Blue Waters Hotel: Durban
Host: Alexius Amtaika: The University of the Free State,
South Africa
The University of the Free State (South Africa) in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin (USA) and the University of Ibadan (Nigeria) invite scholars from around the world to submit papers for the 2014 Toyin Falola Annual Conference (TOFAC) to be held in Durban South Africa from 3rd to 5th July, 2014, under the theme: Culture, Democracy and Development.
The Conference is named after Professor Toyin Falola, The Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities and University Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas at Austin in the US as well as the Vice President of the International Scientific Committee of UNESCO's Slave Route Project. Professor Falola is the Series Editor of five monograph series and sponsors and funds manuscripts for publication for scholars from both developed and developing countries. Please see the following URLs for more information: http://www.toyinfalola.com; http://www.utexas.edu/conferences/africa.
This is the first time that the Conference will be held in Southern Africa, in spite of the fact that it has been held annually in West Africa since 2011 and at the University of Texas at Austin since 2002. Prof. Falola and the TOFAC Board have agreed to partner us in hosting this Conference in South Africa to promote scholarship and publication of books in the US publishing houses. As such, the conference has a commitment to professional development which will be fostered through workshops in writing, publishing, and conference presentation. The conference will also provide ample time for professionals from various disciplines and geographical locations to interact, exchange ideas, and receive feedbacks. Young academics and graduate students from across the globe are especially encouraged to attend and present papers and will be partnered with a senior scholar to encourage their own growth as scholars.
While the conceptual and programmatic connection between democracy, culture and development may not be apparent, we are convinced that there is a vast field of play between them, and that they inform and blend into one another. For instance, some scholars have written on the concept of a "culture of democracy" or "democratic culture," and the extent to which democracy, or democratization, is culturally determined in theory and practice remains open to debate. Also, scholarly and popular debates on the causal and symbiotic relationship between democracy and development have intensified since the dawn of post-Cold War era of democratization.
The question of whether development undergirds democracy or promotes democratic impulses calls for more debate and investigation. Conversely, the causal link between democracy and development, once taken for granted, is now widely debated. The rise of China and of other developmental models outside the liberal democratic frame has introduced new wrinkles into the tenuous neoliberal consensus that democracy conduces to development.
Moreover, what exactly is meant by "development" and "democracy" is up in the air, often debated but rarely resolved. Nor is culture, dynamic and fluid as it is in the era of increased global flows, an entity to be compartmentalized or understood in fixed terms.
Paper proposals may use culture as a point of departure to explore political, economic, and social phenomena. They may also use the notion of culture to interrogate development and democracy, and vice versa.
However one defines development, can culture assume a deterministic or influential role in it? One could also ask whether development, marked by tangible signs or a set of ideas, visions, and claims, can determine the contours of culture. Proposals may take up these questions from any disciplinary or multidisciplinary perspectives.
In addition to being real things that signpost or denote group and institutional practices, democracy, culture, and development are claims with ideological power. Claims about who is cultured, democratic, or developed presuppose vertical relationships between persons, peoples, and societies and make assumptions based on systems of valuation. These claims produce power-laden paradigms and positions, as well as disempowered or devalued others. They also produce inclusion, exclusion, and competition for resources and recognition among groups.
But these three concepts are not just hegemonic constructions; they do not have power outside economic, social, and political relations. The ways in which African and Africa-descended peoples and groups negotiate and contest cultural, democratic, and developmental systems of meaning and praxis have the capacity to confer substance or empty abstractness on them. We therefore welcome papers that examine these three grids in relation to the lived experiences of African communities in Africa and the diaspora—papers that examine the dynamic relationships between everyday experiences of African peoples and the assumptions and meanings that inhere in these concepts.
We also anticipate papers that question these three concepts and claims while clarifying them in relation to the lives, predicaments, hopes, and anxieties of Africans and Africa-descended peoples.
Proposals and papers may explore one of more of the following subthemes and topics, and prospective presenters may construct their own topics from the questions and issues outlined above:
i. Sub-Themes on Culture
Cultural Patrimonies; Cultural artifacts; Cultural conflicts; Culture and Power; Culture and identity; Aesthetics; Cultural monument; Intellectual culture; Myths and memories; Oral and written cultural texts; Tradition and modernity; Globalization and culture; Cultural imperialism; Cultural flows; Youth and culture; African Popular cultures; Diaspora African cultures; Cultural economies; The politics of culture; Political cultures.
ii. Sub-Themes on Democracy
Democratization; Elections; Election crises; Democratic models; Political theory; Theories of democracy; Constitutionalism; Political traditions; State-making and statecraft; Political histories; Democracy and Ethnicity; Political Parties; The politics of development; Democracy and development.
iii. Sub-Themes on Development
Culture and development; "Developmental dictatorship"; Development agencies; Development discourse, NGOs; Histories of Development; Modernization and development; Economies of taste; Development and democracy; Development and neoliberalism; Globalization and development; Development debates; Biographies; Case studies; External Impact
Conferences papers will be published in Four Edited Volumes.
The deadline for submitting paper proposals is April 30th, 2014. Proposals should include a 250-word abstract and title, as well as the author's name, address, telephone number, email address, and institutional affiliation.
Please submit all abstracts to Alexius Amtaika (Alex): email@example.com Tel: +27 722 78 2231/ +27 83 82 55155/ +27 799 552 566.
Registration Fee: A mandatory non-refundable registration fee of $200 for scholars and $100 for graduate students must be paid immediately when an abstract is accepted. This conference fee includes admission to the panels, conference packages, workshops, the buffet (supper, dinner, drinks) breakfast for three days, and the banquet.
The organizers do not provide participants with any form of funding support, travel expenses, or boarding expenses. If the conference obtains enough outside funding this will be used to help subsidize graduate students' accommodations on a competitive basis but it is not guaranteed.
Hotel rates per night: The 2014 rates have not yet been determined but will not exceed $85 USD per night
Arrangement for pick up: There will be a shuttle to and from King Shaka International Air Port and will cost about $7 USD per person.

A group of Center City bar and restaurant owners has sued the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, seeking an end to the state's only wine boutique, inside Garces Trading Company, a restaurant-cafe at 1111 Locust St.
The Washington Square West Civic Association and State Rep. Babette Josephs (D., Phila.) are backing the suit, filed Wednesday in Common Pleas Court. It accuses the LCB of creating a cozy relationship with one private business at the expense of others.
An LCB spokeswoman said the board would not comment Friday because it had not been served with the complaint. The LCB said the wine boutique, initially a test site, had proved so successful that "several new sites" are being considered, but none in the foreseeable future.

Stock indexes edged in higher Thursday morning as investors waded through data that offered a mixed picture of the economy.
A survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia found that manufacturing slowed in that region, one day after a similar report found that manufacturing was slowing in the New York area. Better-than-expected news on jobs and housing helped dull the impact of the report.
Construction of new homes grew faster than expected last month. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits for the first time fell last week to 414,000, a decline from the previous week and more of an improvement than economists expected. Applications for unemployment have been over 400,000 a week since April, a rate that suggests job growth is still slow.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 55 points, or 0.5 percent, to 11,952 in early trading. The S&P 500 rose 2, or 0.2 percent, to 1,267. The Nasdaq composite gained 3, or 0.1 percent, to 2,634.
Kroger Co. rose 3.6 percent after the supermarket chain's earnings rose as shoppers paid more for groceries and gas. Winnebago Industries Inc. fell 15 percent after the motor home company said profits fell nearly 80 percent in its last quarter.
Overseas markets dipped for a second day because of fears that Greece will be forced to default on its bonds, an event that could trigger another financial crisis. The Euro Stoxx 50, an index of blue chip companies in countries that use the euro, fell 0.5 percent. Benchmark indexes in Japan and China each closed with losses of more than 1.5 percent.
U.S. stocks have fallen for six straight weeks because of rising concerns that the economy isn't as strong as previously thought. High gas prices and a recession in Japan following its earthquake and nuclear disaster have combined to slow business and consumer spending. The S&P index is down nearly 7 percent since hitting its high for the year on April 29.

Über den Autor
Leif Mejlbro was educated as a mathematician at the University of Copenhagen, where he wrote his thesis on Linear Partial Differential Operators and Distributions. Shortly after he obtained a position at the Technical University of Denmark, where he remained until his retirement in 2003. He has twice been on leave, first time one year at the Swedish Academy, Stockholm, and second time at the Copenhagen Telephone Company, now part of the Danish Telecommunication Company, in both places doing research.
At the Technical University of Denmark he has during more than three decades given lectures in such various mathematical subjects as Elementary Calculus, Complex Functions Theory, Functional Analysis, Laplace Transform, Special Functions, Probability Theory and Distribution Theory, as well as some courses where Calculus and various Engineering Sciences were merged into a bigger course, where the lecturers had to cooperate in spite of their different background. He has written textbooks to many of the above courses.
His research in Measure Theory and Complex Functions Theory is too advanced to be of interest for more than just a few specialist, so it is not mentioned here. It must, however, be admitted that the philosophy of Measure Theory has deeply in uenced his thinking also in all the other mathematical topics mentioned above.
After he retired he has been working as a consultant for engineering companies { at the latest for the Femern Belt Consortium, setting up some models for chloride penetration into concrete and giving some easy solution procedures for these models which can be applied straightforward without being an expert in Mathematics. Also, he has written a series of books on some of the topics mentioned above for the publisher Ventus/Bookboon.
