The Indian Ocean island of Mauritius will provide the setting for the 63rd FIFA Congress at the end of May, as football's world parliament gathers to vote on the final set of proposals in FIFA's two-year governance reform process.
The beautiful island location could hardly be more apt, as the representatives of FIFA's 209 member associations meet to discuss the last set of proposals put forward as a result of FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter's 2011 Congress pledge to steer "the FIFA boat … back into clear, transparent waters". The delegates will have little time to savour the scenery beyond the Swami Vivekananda* *International Convention Centre, however, with a busy 19-point agenda awaiting them at the two-day gathering.
The most important piece of business will clearly be the proposed amendments to the FIFA Statutes relating to the last remaining decisions in the two-year governance process.
Following on from the major steps already approved at last year's FIFA Congress in Budapest (see reform process timeline on page 15), the member associations will vote on a final series of amendments, comprising ten main points aimed at further strengthening FIFA's governance structures, as well as increasing the integrity, transparency and representative nature of world football's governing body.
Integrity checks for any candidates elected by the Congress (including candidates for the FIFA presidency) were already put in place following the 2012 Congress, with the Mauritius proposals calling for these checks to be extended to other key position-holders, including all members of the FIFA Executive Committee. In relation to candidatures for the presidency, it is also proposed that these must be supported by at least five member associations, and that candidates must have played an active role in an association for at least two of the preceding five years.
The reform package also recommends that all FIFA members increase the involvement of all relevant parties in their own structures, in order to ensure a stronger representation of the game's key stakeholders. Furthermore, the Congress will be updated on the voluntary re-structuring of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) – the body which oversees any changes to the Laws of the Game.
Announced at the IFAB's last meeting on 2 March, this restructuring will involve, in particular, the creation of two new advisory panels – one comprising refereeing experts and the other former players and coaches, current coaches, and technical directors – with the aim of further improving consultation within the game and increasing the transparency of the IFAB's decision-making process.
FIFA World Cup biddingConcerning the bidding process for the hosting of FIFA World Cups, the proposals call for final decisions to be taken, in future, by the Congress. Already approved in principle at the 2011 Congress, this will involve the FIFA Congress voting on the location of future final competitions, following the drawing up by the FIFA Executive Committee of a shortlist of up to three bids. Supported by a detailed set of bidding and hosting regulations to be established by FIFA, the Congress will not be able to award the hosting rights to more than one FIFA World Cup at the same meeting, and it will also not be possible for one confederation to host two consecutive editions of the tournament.
Among the other proposed amendments to the FIFA Statutes included in the package are a series of clarifications and specifications, including in particular a re-drafting of articles 2 and 3 to incorporate stronger and more detailed wording on the promotion of ethics and the fight against discrimination respectively.
Following the vote on these multiple amendments, the Congress will then turn its attention to two further items put forward: the introduction of age limits and that of limited terms of office for key office-holders.
"We were already able to pass a number of landmark decisions at the 2012 Congress in Budapest, and I am now looking forward to the completion of this important process in Mauritius," FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter told *FIFA World *following the latest FIFA Executive Committee meeting in March. "Considering the unity that the Executive Committee has shown in its support for these remaining proposals, I believe that the reform process is on a good track, but it is now up to the Congress to give the final approval."
Beyond the reformsWhile the final steps in the governance reform process are likely to dominate media coverage of the event, a number of other important matters will also be raised at the Congress.
As usual, the Congress will be asked to approve FIFA's consolidated financial statements for 2012 – which include a positive annual result of USD 89 million – as well as the detailed budget for 2014.
A series of updates will then be provided on a number of strategic and sports-political matters, including reports on FIFA's ongoing efforts to tackle match-fixing as well as discrimination and racism in football. In relation to the latter topic, the Congress will also be presented with the full line-up of members of FIFA's new Anti-Discrimination Task Force, which was created in March under the leadership of FIFA Vice-President and CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb.
As a follow-on to the reform process items already approved by the Congress in 2012, the member associations will then be asked to elect the chairmen, deputy chairmen and members of FIFA's Audit and Compliance Committee and of the judicial bodies – comprising the two chambers of the Ethics Committee, the Disciplinary Committee, and the Appeal Committee.
Female electionsThe first-ever formal election of a female member of the FIFA Executive Committee is also set to take place, following on from last year's milestone appointment of Burundi's Lydia Nsekera on a one-year co-opted basis. In addition, the Executive Committee has asked the Congress to approve the additional co-opting of two further female members, to bring the total number of women on the FIFA executive to three. Four women have been proposed by their respective confederations for the three posts, with Nsekera standing against Australia's Moya Dodd, New Zealander Paula Kearns and Sonia Bien-Aime of the Turks & Caicos Islands.
In other business, the Congress will also vote on a proposal to remove the match levies that member associations currently pay to FIFA every time an international match is played, while maintaining the ability of the confederations and associations to demand such levies if they wish.
There will also be a vote on a proposal by the Football Federation Australia (FFA) to amend an article of the Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes relating to players who have acquired a new nationality.

Question: Should the budget deal that state lawmakers make this summer include pension reforms that hurt a key Democratic constituency (public employees and their unions)? Should the deal include tax increases on corporations and high-income earners, a proposal that Republicans oppose? Or should there be a big new rainy day fund and major cuts to health and human services program?
The answer: Yes -- to all of them.
With the state facing persistent budget deficits of nearly $20 billion annually, it's time for a budget that hurts everyone. In fact, if the legislature passes a budget that has any clear winners, it will not have done its job.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Why is pain good? Because too many Californians seem to believe that the state's budget problems are somebody else's fault, and somebody else's problem. In fact, Californians themselves have created this problem, not only by holding to the fundamentally childish view that they can have all the public services they want without paying more in taxes but also because they have enshrined this "something for nothing" philosophy in state law.
Until Californians understand that, our budgets will -- and should -- punish them. It's the only way to build a constituency for the deep systemic reforms needed.
The political trade involved in such a deal is difficult but necessary. Democrats should betray their public employee supporters by ending guaranteed benefit pensions for new employees (and forcing negotiated rollbacks, whenever possible, in existing retiree health obligations). They also need to sign up for a real rainy day fund -- 15 percent of the budget at least -- even if it means bigger cuts to existing programs. It's time, for once, for today's citizens to sacrifice in the name of their children.
In return, Republicans should accept the pension victory and drop their opposition to new taxes -- on oil, gas, and income (with most - but not all -- of the burden born by high-income earners); Democrats also need to force the Republicans to accept, at the very least, the end of the two-thirds vote requirement on the budget.
Is this sort of deal likely? Of course not. In this election, the usual dynamic almost certainly will prevail, with Republicans holding the budget hostage until Democrats meet demands that usually include tax cuts or new spending that adds to the long-term budget deficit (which can then be disguised with questionable borrowing or accounting gimmicks). The only way to break out of that cycle is a deal that punishes everybody.

Region of Valencia: fun on the Mediterranean.
Hemisfèric at the City of Arts and Sciences
Would you like a holiday where your children are ensured a great time? Then give them a surprise and take them to the Region of Valencia, in eastern Spain. Tell them that they will find water parks, attractions, venues where they can see exotic animals and do scientific experiments, as well as beaches that you will love too… A perfect destination for the whole family right on the Mediterranean coast.
The Region of Valencia has everything you need for a great time with your family. Besides excellent weather all year round, ideal for swimming in the sea, you will also find more than 30 leisure parks including safari parks with animals in semi-liberty, forest adventure circuits, water parks and even a Steam Railways Centre: a miniature train where children can learn about this means of transport. Here we suggest a few ideas from the wide range available, that your little ones are sure to like:
Art, Science and the Sea
Don't miss one of the most original and amazing visits on offer: the Arts and Sciences Centre, in Valencia. Here, kids can learn while they have fun, thanks to sections such as the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum, l´Oceanogràfic Centre (Europe's largest marine centre) and l´Hemisfèric, where they can enjoy wonderful, amusing projections and adventures for kids such as "The Enchanted Reef" and "The Origins of Life". At the Science Museum, children can take part in workshops on how the human body works, they can discover how robots are made and feel what it is like to fly in a hot air balloon or go on a space walk. You will never have seen your children so interested in science.
At l´Oceanogràfic, they will be amazed by dolphin exhibitions and they can explore an artificial ocean where sharks swim above their heads. Can you imagine the look of delight on your children's faces when you take them to an underwater restaurant whose walls form part of a giant aquarium?
Wild nature
Also in Valencia you will find Bioparc. This is a new kind of zoo that invites visitors to learn the importance of looking after different animal species. "What is this new kind of zoo?" you will probably be asking. It is a place that will make you think you are really in an equatorial jungle or on the African savannah – a zoo where the vegetation and landscapes will make you forget the barriers between you and the animals. Accompany your children on an exciting, enjoyable journey where they will meet lions, giraffes, buffalo, lemurs and rhinoceroses, and help them to follow the elephants' trail to a cave excavated by these pachyderms.
Terra Mítica, a "legendary" amusement park
Have a great time at one of Europe's most original theme parks: Terra Mítica in Benidorm, Alicante province. The park is divided into five areas representing legendary civilisations: Egypt, Greece, Rome, Iberia and The Islands. It doesn't matter whether your family are daredevils or not. Here you will find attractions and more than 80 daily shows to suit all tastes. Try to escape from the "Minotaur's Labyrinth", get a soaking at the "Nile Waterfalls" or try an adrenaline rush with Europe's longest wooden roller coaster. After a day at Terra Mítica, your children will think they have had a real superhero's adventure.
Fun all over the coast
After such exciting sensations, what better than relaxing on the broad, warm beaches of the Mediterranean? There are plenty to choose from: the Costa Azahar in Castellón, Costa de Valencia or Costa Blanca in Alicante. Many of their beaches have fine sand, sports facilities and areas with games and swimming pools for children, ideal to keep them busy while you take a dip.
These are just a few ideas so that you can get the most out of the Region of Valencia. However, there are many more options: the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia hosts motorcycle, truck and Formula 1 racing, while there is a host of cultural options in Castellón at its theatres and museums.
Give your kids a treat and enjoy the Region of Valencia together – the majority of activities mentioned above also have discounts for large families. Spend some pleasant, fun days with your family.

In recent years, new organizations have popped up around the country with the common goal of showing women and minorities that computer science isn't just for people who look like Bill Gates.
One major stereotype about technology is that it is mostly a field for geeky white men. To some degree, the stereotype has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, as statistics show that women and certain minority groups are not pursuing technology in school, and even when they do, they don't necessarily pursue careers in technical fields. To that point, a nationwide movement has formed dedicated to engaging those who have been left behind involved in the increasingly relevant field of computer science.
Women dominate in U.S. universities, with 57 percent of all undergraduate degrees going to women. It's not that women aren't technically minded either, as 52 percent of all math and science undergraduate degrees are attained by women. But in computer and information science, women represent only 18 percent of all undergraduate degrees. And the trend starts early in a woman's educational career, as females represent 56 percent of high school Advanced Placement (AP) test-takers, but only 19 percent of AP Computer Science test-takers.
There are broader problems perpetuated by American educational institutions, like the fact that most high schools don't require any kind of computer classes, or make any distinction between computer literacy classes and computer science classes. But these issues aren't keeping white males out of computer science, so there must be other factors at work.
Cultural perceptions about technology play a big role in keeping women and minorities out of computer science, said Joanne Cohoon, a professor at the University of Virginia who specializes in sociological issues around computing and gender. Cohoon is also the senior social science researcher at the National Center for Women in Information Technology (NCWIT) and the principal investigator for the Tapestry Workshops.
Technology is viewed as a masculine endeavor and women are not appreciated for being technical, Cohoon said. These stereotypes, reinforced by pop culture, affect how people think about themselves and their own capabilties, and in turn, create educational environments where white men are welcomed and everyone else, though technically allowed to participate, is excluded. It's hard for students to participate in an environment if they're surrounded by people who don't look like them and they can't relate to, Cohoon said.
Kyla McMullen, an assistant professor at the Human-Centered Computing Division at Clemson University in South Carolina, experienced some of the things Cohoon mentioned as she earned her Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Michigan in 2012, the first black woman to do so.
McMullen recalled being a struggling student and feeling grateful to have access to the Meyerhoff Scholars Program, an undergraduate scholarship program for minorities, which gave her a support network and much-needed guidance at the time. But not everyone was supportive, she said. Her graduate department chair once advised her to drop out and pursue a subject she might be better suited to, like education, she recalled.
Ph.D. in hand, McMullen is now trying to change the image of computer science. The mostly female and non-white division of Clemson's School of Computing is featured in a documentary Web series called Lab Daze, a marketing tool conceived by Department Chair Juan Gilbert. People should see that there are all kinds of people in computer science, she said.
The U.S. Department of Labor estimated that between 2010 and 2020, there will be more than 1.4 million computing-related job openings nationally, and at current graduation rates, only about 30 percent of those jobs can be filled.
"When I think about careers and computer programming, I think of people like my Dad, always sitting at the laptops, looking at all these different websites, just working a lot," said a young girl from Austin, Texas, interviewed by NCWIT for a 2012 survey.
Seth Reichelson, a computer science teacher at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs, Fla., was invited to the White House and recognized for his ability to get girls and minorities into his computer science classes. In 2012, Reichelson's students alone constituted more than 1 percent of all students in the country who took the AP computer science exam and many of them were female.
But it wasn't always like that, Reichelson said. Having taught physics, engineering and computer science for 17 years, Reichelson recalled years of having just a couple of girls in each of his computer science classes, and he never thought anything of it. Reichelson changed his approach after receiving an email from a program called the Tapestry Workshops, which he now tours with. The Tapestry Workshops travels the country educating teachers on how to recruit and retain female and minority students in computer science. Even today, Reichelson said, he must fight old habits that would lead him back to a mostly male classroom.
"First you have to have good content," he said. "No good content means no students at all." The teacher also needs to create an inclusive atmosphere, he said. "So, you have to watch out for what examples you choose, you have to watch out for the language you use, you have to be gender neutral," he said. "Even as far down as what your classroom looks like." Students need to feel they belong somewhere or they won't want to participate, he said.
Starting early and showing girls and minorities that this is a real option for them is important, he said. That's why programs like the Tapestry Workshops and Black Girls Code and iUrban Teen Tech exist.
Black Girls Code hosts events around the country in an attempt to revive interest in computer science among females, focusing on non-white students. "Our goal and our mission," said founder Kimberly Bryant, "is to teach girls of color between the ages of 7 and 17 about computer programming and technology and giving them resources and skills and access to mentors that will allow them to move from a position of being only consumers of technology and becoming next generation creators and leaders in technology."
A program called iUrban Teen Tech is focused on bringing tech education to black and Latino males, the two groups at the highest risk for dropping out of school. Through interactive workshops, technology summits, classes, and trips to industry, students get exposure to the world of technology development. The idea, said founder Deena Pierott, is to show students that careers in technology are accessible to them.
Launched in 2011 on the campus of Washington State University in Vancouver, Wash., iUrban Teen Tech has since been expanded to the University of Portland, and is now broadening its reach into Seattle and Los Angeles.
There are many factors to consider when it comes to keeping students interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), Portland Chief Technology Officer Ben Berry said. Students first need access and exposure to what's available; parents need to support their interest; students' peers must accept their choice to be involved with technology; they need to feel inspired to continue participating; and they need role models who can show them the way.
The country needs more mentors for black and Latino students, Berry said. His own success in a technology-based career comes from seeing his father, the first black student to graduate in aeronautical engineering at USC, assume a position of authority in a STEM field. Seeing his father's success showed him that this was a kind of position that was possible for him, too.

It can be difficult to find a hair extension stylist near you, and you don't always have the time to drive hours to get your hair done. Luckily, several online resources are available to help.
Here is a helpful, condensed list:
The Hair Extension Salon Locator
This site lists hair extension salons by state. It also features articles on the care of hair extensions and hair loss information. Additionally, they have supplies and training resources.
This is the website for the HairBonz hair extension system. You can call 1-888-693-HAIR to find a listing of hair extension salons using the HairBonz system.
No matter where you located your hair extension salon, make sure that your stylist is qualified to apply the extensions. He or she should be a licensed cosmetologist with ample experience in applying the type of extensions you are considering. Many experts recommend that you meet some of the stylist's other clients and find out if they are happy with their extensions. At the very least, ask to see a portfolio with before and after pictures.
Curly Perms for African Americans, The Low Maintenance Wave Nouveau Perm
Do you really know how to take care of black children's hair? Of course you know because it is just similar to taking care of you own hair. Black hair is a result of the proper caring of it. You simply have to do extra effort to maintain the loveliness of it.
You should shampoo the black hair with the specific shampoo that will suit your children's flowing hair. As they will grow older, you can use conditioners that will help keep their hair moist and will act as a hydrating agent. Conditioners should not be done everyday because this will then cause falling of hair.
Conditioners you will buy should contain the natural oils so that the black hair of your children will nourish further and will not get so dry. You should comb your children's hair lightly and gently starting at the base of the hair. Avoid using fine tooth combs but instead use combs that have wide tooth.
Put your hand above the spot you are combing so that the children would not experience pain. Do not super tight the braids and or pigtails because this can damage the hair and can cause breakage. Another tip on how to take care of black children's hair is by limiting the use of beads since this can cause trauma because some of the beads are heavy so one should use appropriate accessories at the right time to avoid any problem. When the hair is kinky then it is better to use a good detangling spray. So these are some of the tips on how to take care of a black children's hair.

So I'm building an applet that will run exclusively on my machine, instead of the internet (I have my reasons for using an applet instead of an application), and I am running into those pain-in-the-ass permission issues with writing to text files from an applet.
I've been googling for the past hour and based on what I've found, I need to create a policy file to allow permission for the applet to write to the local txt files. The problem with this is that I'm not entirely sure how to correctly make a policy file and I'm not sure how to get the applet to use the policy file. I've been reading tutorials and other forums, but nothing I've tried has made any difference. Can anyone give me some guidance here?

The Lady Bisons took the first two sets with scores of 25-20 and 25-11. The Dons then won set three 26-24, but the Lady Bisons pulled the fourth and final set out 25- 21 to secure the win.
The Lady Bisons 2-1 record earned them second place in the four-team tournament. Kansas was undefeated in three matches.
"I thought we were really impressive," Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "We really set the tone early and set out to really be the aggressor."
"We're obviously a little disappointed in set three and the way it went down. We just made way too many mental mistakes, but the lessons that we're learning now will help us down the road."
Middle hitter Alex Kelley again led the team in kills with 24, the match high, and had an impressive .476 hitting percentage. She also pulled double digits in digs with 15. Sophomore outside hitter Kaycee Green had 11 kills, and senior Meghan Hinemeyer had nine.
"Incredible play by Alex Kelly," Rosenthal said. "You can't say enough about what she brings to the table each week.
"I guess it's to be expected from her and Jake. Jake really set the stage for us as well."
Kelly and Pease both made the All-Tournament Team. Kelly also broke the tournament most kills record with 63.
Junior Kelsey Neumann stepped up as well with six blocks getting her first chance to play considerable points. The coaching staff continues to be impressed with her play overall.
The Lady Bison defense kept San Francisco's Sarah Mandala's kill count to only eight. No player in green-and-gold had kills in the double digits. The Lady Bisons had 13 total blocks against the Dons while Katie Rose and Meghan Hinemeyer picked up 11 digs. Senior Jake Pease had 15.
"When you come and you're a part of Lipscomb volleyball, you know that anything less than all out defense is not going to be accepted," Rosenthal said. "I expect each and every one of our players to play as hard as they can, and I think at the end of the day, they'll appreciate it.
Rosenthal is very pleased with his team's first showing this weekend and is preparing for another A-Sun Championship.
"Anything short of that is something the team is not going to accept," he said. "They want it bad."
They Lady Bisons will be concentrating on cleaner transitions and more aggressive serving this week going into the Blue and Gold Tournament next weekend hosted by Pitt.
The Lady Bison's next match will be Sept. 3 against Purdue in Pittsburgh. Other opponents include Tulane and Pitt.

HAYWARD — A man fatally stabbed over the weekend in a downtown parking lot was identified by police on Tuesday as Jayson Dutt, of Hayward.
Dutt, 24, was killed early Saturday morning in a city-owned lot behind Buffalo Bill's Brew Pub at 1082 B St. near Foothill Blvd., police said. Officers called to the scene shortly before 12:30 a.m. found Dutt stabbed; he died at the scene.
Police have arrested two Hayward brothers and another Hayward man on suspicion of murder in connection with Dutt's death. Daniel Ramirez, 29, his brother Robert Ramirez, 27, and Jose Vasquez, 19, also of Hayward, are due to be arraigned Wednesday, Sgt. Ken Forkus said.
Investigators believe that Dutt drove a car into the parking lot where he had been eating fast food before he came into contact with the Ramirez brothers and Vasquez, who had visited several area bars.
An argument erupted, police said, and the men allegedly attacked Dutt before getting into a car and speeding off.
Several minutes later, dispatchers received a report of a single-vehicle crash on A Street at South Garden Avenue, about two miles from the city parking lot. There, officers found an abandoned Mercedes-Benz.
A short time later, two of the suspects showed up to a hospital with stab wounds, police said. Police believe the men had been in the Mercedes that crashed and that they flagged down another motorist to take them to the hospital.
The men, along with the third suspect, were later arrested and booked into jail where they were being held without bail on Tuesday.
The case remains under investigation.
Anyone with information about the killing is urged to call police at 510-293-7034.

What's a Wiki?
a Collaborative Tool for one or many
A wiki is a web-based tool that allows many people - from one person to millions of people -- to contribute to content.
Wikipedia.org is currently the best-known wiki, but it is certainly not the only one. There are thousands and thousands of wikis on the web, covering many different topics. People set up their own wikis for various reasons, for example:
- students set up wikis to collaborate on group projects.
- clubs and organizations set up wikis so their members can contribute stories and information.
- individuals set up wikis to collect and manage information
There are web sites that provide wiki space for free (pbwiki.com is a popular one). Most free wiki sites allow the person who set up the site (the administrator) to decide who can contribute. Some wikis are open for everyone to make changes. Some require users to log in, and others are completely private and closed to everyone but site administrators.
Wikipedia offers pages at all these levels. The majority of pages - or articles -- on wikipedia are open for anyone to edit. Some require users to set up an account and log in, and others are locked to everyone except trusted administrators.
Let's take a look.

- A Dark Matter
- Doubleday, 416 pp.
Strange Days
Novelist Lee Harwell is having breakfast at his favorite Chicago diner when a hostile homeless guy shouting a single word—obstreperous—interrupts his meal. He's unsettled by the encounter and finally realizes why. The homeless man reminds him of his childhood friend Hootie who has been confined to a mental hospital since the sixties and communicates only in single words and literary quotations.
Lee's memory of Hootie is connected to a larger mystery that has haunted him for decades, a mystery that began when four of his friends—Hootie, Dill, Jason and a girl nicknamed Eel who is now his wife—fell under the influence of a charismatic 60s-style guru named Spencer Mallon.
Even at 18, Lee was immune to Spencer's apocalyptic message—"Everything is everything"—and labeled him a charlatan posing as a shaman, like so many others of the era. His friends, however, eagerly lapped up Spencer's teachings and even more eagerly followed him into a meadow for what was intended to be a dress rehearsal for a ritual Spencer claimed would change their lives. He was right about that.
Lee has been trying to get his wife to share the secret of what happened that day ever since it happened. All he knows is that before the ritual was complete, one of Spencer's acolytes was killed horribly, another disappeared completely and Hootie was so badly traumatized that he retreated into the comfort of madness.
Unable to shake the feeling that it's time to shed light in a dark corner of his own life, Lee abandons the novel he's writing and throws himself into research for a non-fiction book about what really happened between his friends and Spencer Mallon. Eel (who now goes by her real name, Lee) wishes her husband well but ponders how far he'll be able to track the story back.
To her surprise, the other survivors—except for Meredith Bright, who was Spencer's lover back in the day—seem eager to come forward and unburden themselves of the horror they witnessed. Each one tells a slightly different story, though, and as Lee excavates the past, it begins bleeding into the present in unexpected ways. As his eyes are opened he wonders if he shouldn't have remained blind.
Perhaps the most illuminating conversation he has is with Meredith, who has married well and has no intention of trotting out her nightmares for public consumption. She does give Lee one piece of the puzzle that helps him fill in the gaps from the other stories, though, and her memories of the surreal things she saw when Spencer opened a door into the back of the universe are the more real for being recited so unemotionally.
We are reminded forcefully, even viscerally, of the old warning about messing with the paranormal, "Do not conjure what you cannot put back."
Straub uses the classic Rashomon formula to reveal the story within a story but in the process, he builds the mystery into something that he can't possibly pay off. He also tests the limits of our patience with his languorous setup. The framing device reveals all the pitfalls of dual time-frame stories and as is often the case, we find ourselves much more interested in what happened back in the 60s than in what's happening now.
Like the reader, Lee is more interested in the past, which haunts him both literally and metaphorically. There are a lot of references to Hawthorne, including one phrase from The Scarlet Letter that he finds particularly evocative—"Hast thou enticed me into a bond that will prove the ruin of my soul?" Every time Straub repeats the phrase, it's a signal that the reader needs to pay close attention.
Words matter. They matter to Lee and they matter to the author and there's a distinctly literary bent to the tale even though the plot is genre-bound. Lee is, after all, a writer. The story sometimes gets lost in those words however. Straub conjures up bits of poetry and forgotten short stories (there's a riff on "The Lady or the Tiger?") and spins it all in a creative centrifuge along with a healthy dose of horror. It's entertaining, but there are also times that the more words are spilled on the page, the less we understand what went on and we grow impatient for the author to get to the point.
The characters are intriguing and one of the strengths of the novel. Mallon comes across like a mixture of Rasputin and Charles Manson and Robert A. Heinlein's hero Valentine Michael Smith from his cult 60s novel Stranger in a Strange Land. Mallon is almost entirely absent from the present-day scenes and we miss him.
Much is made of the "twinship" of Lee and the Eel (which we realize at a certain point is "Lee" spelled backwards). When "Lee" tells the various bits of the story from the various points of view of the players, Straub does a very good job of capturing the others' voices. This is particularly true of Hootie, who loves ornate, obscure and archaic words so much, and Meredith, who took away a brutally selfish message from her encounter with the uncanny.
Some of the characters took surprising detours in their lives after college and Straub makes them plausible, even when their parts of the tale include some things that are decidedly not likely. In fact, one of the unlikeliest aspects of the story is a relationship between one of the characters and Spencer that has carried through to the present day. We just don't buy it and it adds an element of artistic contrivance on top of the whole story.
This is a stylish novel but ultimately style subsumes substance. The constant change in point of view and in time period and the elliptical way the story itself unfolds eventually creates a sort of narrative Tesseract and we find ourselves lost in it. The pay off to the novel's long narrative wind-up is not sufficiently satisfying and the result is a story that's mundane, somewhat derivative and ultimately disappointing.

A section of 6th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan is currently closed for drivers and pedestrians because 'stray voltage' could electrocute you from a subway grate or a doorknob.
Gothamist reports that ConEd is trying to find the source of the stray voltage and have shut down 6th Avenue between 26th and 27th Streets, with several more blocks closed to car traffic. This morning workers recorded electrified street grates and doorknobs at some 44 volts, which they described as "definitely dangerous." At around noon, an electrified manhole started a fire.
ConEd is currently trying to find the exact source of the runaway electricity, which is not entirely uncommon this time of year in NYC. The city dumps huge amounts of rock salt to clear the streets from ,multiple snowfalls, turning the snow into salt water. The salt water not only damages underground wiring, but also excellently conducts electricity.

The tiny Walser village of Sertig lies in the ancient valley of the same name at 1,860 m altitude, with the Sertigbach stream flowing through it. Like all the Davos tributary valleys, Sertig is a typical glacial valley. In the mid-13th century, the Walsers migrated to Davos and thereby also to Sertig. In 1699 they built their own church, a simple white mountain church with a pointed steeple, which has been a listed building since 1942. In summer, the Sertig Valley is ideal for hiking or cycling. In winter it is a popular destination for skiers and ice climbers.

If you don't want to take any chances with your data, it is recommended that you backup hard disk partition table. Last Friday I was discussing some issues with one of our customer and he pointed out me dd command.
Backup MBR with dd command
dd the old good command which now backup partition tables even writes CDs ;). Backing up partition is nothing but actually backing up MBR (master boot record). The command is as follows for backing up MBR stored on /dev/sdX or /dev/hdX :
# dd if=/dev/sdX of=/tmp/sda-mbr.bin bs=512 count=1
Replace X with actual device name such as /dev/sda.
Now to restore partition table to disk, all you need to do is use dd command:
# dd if= sda-mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1 count=64 skip=446 seek=446
dd command works with Solaris, HP-UX and all other UNIX like operating systems. Read man page of dd for more info.

In my experience you need to run it in Chrome and play with an Xbox 360 controller for it to work. It is a top-down twin stick shooter with some RPG-lite elements in it. The setting is inside an old damaged and abandoned computer, the fragmented data on the HDD has started to compile into its own forms of life, some docile, others corrupt and dangerous. The player is the remnants of a recovery program on the computer, activated in a desperate attempt to stop more damage from being done and preserve what non-corrupt data is left. This game was made as a one month game project from Feb 2 to Feb 28 2013.

Avoiding battles is a good thing. However, I had 21 scholarships to fill so I hit the trail right away. By the end of the second cycle on signing day I had 15 of my 21 signed, 4 more on the next cycle, and the other 2 were ones I got into recruiting battles with and ultimately lost. Had to replace them, but when you're recruiting D3 players with 400ish ratings, it's not that hard to come up with replacements.

Product Description
Ginger powder Microwave Drying / Sterilizing machine is a newly emerging food sterilization equipment in recent years. The use of microwave to sterilize food can effectively prolong the shelf life of food. Microwave has dual bactericidal effects of thermal and non thermal effects. Under the action of bacteria, the spatial structure of bacteria changes or destroys. Protein denaturation affects its solubility, viscosity, expansibility and stability, thereby losing biological activity, causing bacterial growth inhibition, stop or death. Ginger powder Microwave Drying / Sterilizing machine has the advantages of short time, fast speed, low temperature sterilization, drug composition, energy saving, microwave sterilizing equipment, sterilization, even and thorough, easy to automate production, advanced technology, and save floor area.
The characteristics of Ginger powder Microwave Drying / Sterilizing machine are as follows:
1, The temperature of sterilization is low. The general germicidal temperature is 70 - 80 C.
2,The time of sterilization is short. Ginger powder Microwave Drying / Sterilizing machine can quickly germicidal food, about 5 - 10 minutes to achieve bactericidal effect.
3, Sterilizing thoroughly. The microwave can penetrate a certain thickness of food, so microwave can sterilize the food both inside and outside when it is germicidal to the food.
4, The quality of the product is good and the shelf life of food is delayed.
5, keep the original flavor and nutrition of the food.
Microwave is the electromagnetic wave from 300 MHz to 300 thousand MHz (wavelength 1 m - 1 mm), usually used in radar and communication technology as information transmission.
In modern application, it has been extended to a new energy source. It is used for heating and drying in industry and agriculture, chemical reaction is promoted in chemical industry, and plasma is stimulated in scientific research.
A home microwave oven is a typical example of the application of microwave energy.
The microwave frequencies used for industrial heating in China are 915 MHz and 2450 MHz at present. In use, it can be selected according to the shape, size and water content of the heating material. 2450MHz is the frequency of a second vibration of 2 billion 450 million times a second, one second direct water feed 2 billion 450 million times back and forth vibration friction, water naturally immediately fever.

All News Releases By Date
Municipality of Lajas Agrees to Environmental Improvements at Landfill; Agreement with EPA Sets Timetable for Landfill's Closure and Establishes Local Recycling Program; Public Meeting to Be Held on August 28
Release Date: 08/11/2014
Contact Information: John Martin, (212) 637-3662, email@example.com
- (New York, N.Y.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Municipality of Lajas, Puerto Rico, have reached a legal agreement that will result in numerous upgrades at the Lajas Landfill, and a plan to permanently close the landfill by July 2017. Lajas will also implement a recycling and composting program.
"This agreement sets the Municipality of Lajas on the right course— more material will be recycled and composted, and more will be done to protect the environment and the health of area residents," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck.
As part of the agreement announced today, Lajas will establish regular curbside pickup of recyclable materials, scrap tires, certain auto parts, white goods, and food and yard waste throughout urban areas of the municipality, and will establish recycling drop-off centers in rural areas. The municipality will create a pilot composting program for the collection of compostable materials. Lajas will use information from this pilot project to establish a permanent composting program by mid-2015.
The Municipality of Lajas has also agreed to make improvements at its landfill, including covering exposed areas on a daily basis, implementing measures to reduce stormwater, and reducing the amount of dust at the landfill. In addition, the municipality will level out steep slopes at the landfill, which will decrease the chances of a landslide and runoff. The municipality will improve the landfill's security, and will inspect all incoming loads of waste to the landfill to prevent the disposal of hazardous wastes, certain liquid wastes, scrap ties, recyclable materials, and refrigerators and other appliances. Finally, Lajas has agreed to close all areas of the landfill that are currently being used by July 1, 2017. The closed areas of the landfill will instill a cap, which will reduce the amount of rainwater entering the landfill, as well as measures to reduce methane and other landfill gas emissions from rotting waste and collect leachate. Leachate is a liquid that has percolated through or been generated by decomposition of waste material.
The Lajas Municipal Solid Waste Landfill has been receiving waste since 1977. The majority of the waste deposited in the landfill includes solid household waste, as well as commercial solid waste and construction and demolition debris. Following inspections, the EPA determined that the landfill lacked proper run-off controls, a leachate collection system, and operational groundwater and methane monitoring systems. The landfill has extremely steep and potentially unstable slopes.
The proposed Administrative Order on Consent that details this agreement is subject to a public comment period that ends on August 31.
The EPA will hold a public meeting on August 28, 2014 to explain this agreement and is encouraging public comments. The meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. at Avenida 1ero de Julio de 1883 in Barrio Sabana Yeguas, Lajas.

A majority of Pennsylvania voters, 59 percent, believe the state is "off on the wrong track," while in the governor's race Democrat Tom Wolf leads incumbent Gov. Tom Corbett by 22 points, according to the latest Franklin & Marshall College Poll.
Wolf , a York businessman who in May defeated three competitors to win the Democratic primary, will face Corbett in the general election on Nov. 4. Among likely voters, Wolf is ahead of the governor, 47 percent to 25 percent ,with 27 percent undecided.
The poll reflects interviews with 502 registered voters conducted between June 23 and 29. The sample error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
About one in four voters, 26 percent, believe Corbett is doing an "excellent" or "good" job, an increase from the 23 percent rating recorded in a January Franklin & Marshall College Poll. Almost half, 49 percent, of Republicans rate his performance as "excellent" or "good," up from 38 percent in January's poll. About one in four voters, 26 percent, believe Corbett has performed well enough to deserve re-election.
The poll's director, G. Terry Madonna, said Corbett is the "decided underdog in the race," having the lowest job performance ranking of any Pennsylvania governor in modern history.
"The governor needs a game-changing moment," Madonna said. "He needs policy victories that are important to voters."
The poll continues to show that education and jobs, at 22 percent and 13 percent, respectively, are the issues voters care about most in considering who to support for governor.
An F&M forum between Corbett and Wolf is tentatively planned for the fall, following the successful May 1 forum with the four candidates vying in the Democratic primary.
On the national front, the poll showed that one in three, 34 percent, of registered Pennsylvania voters believe President Barack Obama is doing an "excellent or "good" job as president, up from his January rating of 30 percent.
The 23-year-old Franklin & Marshall College Poll is conducted under the direction of Madonna, Head Methodologist Berwood Yost, director of the Floyd Institute's Center for Opinion Research, and Project Manager Jacqueline Redman. It is produced in conjunction with the Philadelphia Daily News, WGAL-TV in Lancaster, Pittsburgh Tribune Review, WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh, WPVI-TV6/ABC Philadelphia, Times-Shamrock Newspapers, Harrisburg PennLive/The Patriot News, Lancaster Newspapers/Lancaster Online, and the Reading Eagle.
