GALLE, July 30, 2008 (AFP) – Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene says his team is well-prepared for India's expected fight-back in the second Test starting here on Thursday. The hosts outplayed India in all departments of the game in the opening match of the three-Test series in Colombo, winning by an innings and 239 runs on Saturday.
"I am sure they are very disappointed after the first Test, but we know how good they are. They will definitely come very strong at us and we have to be prepared for that," Jayawardene told reporters here Wednesday.
"We asked them some questions (in the first Test) and they did not have the answers. We will have to find out whether they now have the answers. If they have, we will start asking different questions."
Jayawardene said Sri Lanka were determined to clinch the series here and would likely retain the side that won in Colombo.
"That (wrapping up the series) is definitely the plan. We are confident with the win we had the other day. It's important that we secure the series win. We will be going in the same frame of mind — that is to win," he said.
"We will probably play the same team."

4 cops suspended, TI line attached for tribal?s death
A TRIBAL was killed and another injured when five armed persons attacked the victims who had come to complain about an eve teasing incident, late on Sunday night.india Updated: Feb 06, 2007, 14:23 IST
A TRIBAL was killed and another injured when five armed persons attacked the victims who had come to complain about an eve teasing incident, late on Sunday night.
Following the incident Aerodrome TI D S Ranawat has been line attached and four policemen ASI Ramesh Katiyar, head constables Vinod, Pappu Singh and Sanjay have been suspended for their negligence.
The police could not even find the body of the deceased or that of the injured as they lay in an open field throughout the night. The deceased died due to excessive bleeding, while the condition of the injured is critical.
According to police, a youth teased and then slapped Ram's sister Vandana. Ram told his friend Chotu (22) and Vishnu about this and together they went to complain to the youth's family.
They went to the house at around 11 pm, and found the entire family of Banjaras drinking. One thing led to another and the entire family comprising Bhagwan, Nanu, Kalu, Govardhan and Sardar attacked the three of them. While Ram managed to escape with injuries, Chotu and Vishnu were injured even as they fled.
Someone informed the Control Room about the attack and at around 11.30 pm, the Aerodrome police were informed that two persons had been attacked with knives in Rakhi Nagar.
A police team comprising ASI Ramesh Katiyar, head constables Vinod, Pappu Singh and Sanjay went to the area. However after a cursory search they told the senior officers that there had been no such incident.
However, early in the morning the residents of the locality saw two bodies lying in a nearby field, but by then Chotu had died and police sent Vishnu to hospital. There was anger among the residents of the locality who said that if the police had searched properly at night itself, Chotu might have been saved.
SP Anshuman Yadav said that TI Ranawat has been line attached due to his inadequate control over the police station, poor supervision of the staff under him and also his own dereliction of duty.
CSP Dhananjay Shah said that so far none of the accused have been arrested. He said all of them are from the same community – Banjara – and are daily wage labourers.

Nick Kyrgios believes his fourth-round Wimbledon clash against Andy Murray shapes as his best chance to finally beat the Brit.
The Australian completed a four-set win over Feliciano Lopez on Sunday to set up a last-16 clash with Murray.
Kyrgios has lost his previous four official meetings with the Brit, finally taking his first set off the world number two at last year's US Open.
Murray may be a Wimbledon champion, but the 21-year-old Kyrgios feels this could be his best opportunity to finally record a win over his good friend.
"He's won here before. I think it doesn't change it too much, I don't think," he said.
"This is probably my best surface, my best chance to beat him. At the same time I think he's pretty comfortable on the grass."
Kyrgios said his relationship with Murray was "love at first sight", but the latter has won his previous 18 matches against Australians.
The 15th seed took plenty out of the meeting between the pair at Flushing Meadows.
"I think last time I played him was at the US Open in a major. I thought I made some inroads there. Finally won a set against him in a grand slam," Kyrgios said.
"I feel like I know what to do. But it's hard to actually go out there and execute against such a player like him obviously."
Kyrgios did beat Murray at the Hopman Cup at the start of the year, and he knows he is capable of a stunning upset.
He said: "I definitely feel like he's beatable. He's only human. At the same time he's a great player."

When using TrueSync®, before you can synchronise devices, you must specify to the TrueSync software how data in your desktop application, device, and/or service corresponds to the data in your other devices. Selecting how you want the information in your files, folders, and/or categories on one device to be synchronised with the data in your files, folders, and/or categories on another device is referred to as "mapping".
The correspondence between IDL and the native data types in some language.
Any type that associates keys with values. The builtin type dict is an example of a mapping. The de facto standard way to implement this interface is to implement the special methods __setitem__ and __getitem__.
Calibrating the motion system so that repeatable errors can be corrected from a lookup table.
A container object (such as dict) that supports arbitrary key lookups using the special method __getitem__().
Keywords: linkage, cytogenetic, genome, gene, genetic
see genetic map
The process of deducing schematic representations of DNA. Three types of DNA maps can be constructed: physical maps, genetic maps, and cytogenetic maps, with the key distinguishing feature among these three types being the landmarks on which they are based.
In genetics, determining the order of genes on a chromosome and the distances between them.
Keywords: isomorphic, internetwork, logic, schema, clbs
A function such that for every element of one set there is a unique element of another set.
In network operations the logical association of one set of values such as addresses on one network with quantities or values of another set such as devices on another network. Includes name-address mapping internetwork-route mapping and protocol-to-protocol mapping.
In network operations, the logical association of one set of values, such as addresses on one network, with other quantities or values, such as devices on a second network (for example name-address mapping, internetwork-route mapping).
Keywords: diagrams, awarenessraising, venn, participatory, pictorial
a convention in which maps or diagrams are made in order to develop or reflect on drama
Diagramming data that is to be exchanged electronically, including how it is to be used and what business management systems need it. Preliminary step for developing an applications link. Performed by the functional manager responsible for a business management system.
An effective strategy used after reading to improve retention of the material read. Maps are visual representations of textual information. Examples are cluster diagrams, hierarchy or "tree" charts, sequence or "flow" diagrams. Maps can be used effectively to show organizational structure and relationships between elements in the reading.
Keywords: slcm, qualquer, estrat, enciamento, francesa
Constructing a plan (or map) of the linear sequence of chromosomes.
Sometimes mapping and sequencing are completely separate processes. (IOCeleraGenome) Mapeamento De qualquer forma mapeamento e não seqüenciamento foi a estratégia francesa. (POPrGenoma)
Establishing a sequence of the activities in this standard according to a selected software life cycle model (SLCM). See also instance; invocation; iteration, software life cycle model (SLCM). [IEEE Stds Glossary
the process of associating each bit transmitted by a service into the SONET payload structure that carries the service; for example, mapping a DS–1 service into a SONET VT1.5 associates each bit
Identifying synonyms in the various languages, e.g. a North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) term of alteration in comfort will map to pain in the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP). Nursing terms from NANDA, NIC, NOC, CCC, PNDS, And Omaha are mapped to concepts in SNOMED.
A mapping is defined from a domain to a codomain, whenever a rule is established by which an entity e, a member of the domain of the map, is associated with an image e', a member of the codomain of the map.
Keywords: schlagwortnormdatei, swd, rameau, wilsonline, lcsh
Mapping refers to a special form of linking, with efforts to identify equivalence or establish one-to-one and, in some instances, one-to-many relationships. Mapping facilitates automatic switching between systems or languages. Recent developments include efforts to match elements in the MARC record with those in other metadata records and efforts to identify equivalent terms among different controlled vocabularies or different languages. Examples of mapping of subject entries include the Omni File (based on the indexes to individual WILSONLINE databases) and MACS (Multi-lingual Access to Subject headings, a European project on multilingual access to subject authority files and data to develop a prototype for the mapping of subject entries based on three controlled vocabularies: Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), RAMEAU, and Schlagwortnormdatei (SWD)).
a computer process whereby the search system matches (maps) a given term to the most appropriate MeSH heading.
This means to match a field from your contact manager to a field in your sync destination. Fields which have been matched in this way can be synchronized between the contact manager and the sync destination.
Keywords: gtkwidget, immediatly, gdk, gdkwindows, gtk
A single line in a view, consisting of a left side and a right side that specify the correspondences between files in the depot and files in a client, label, or branch. (See also client view, branch view, label view).
This is the step in a widget's life cycle where it actually shows the GdkWindows it created when it was realized. When a widget is mapped, it must turn on its GTK_MAPPED flag. Note that due to the asynchronous nature of the X window system, a widget's window may not appear on the screen immediatly after one calls gdk_window_show(): you must wait for the corresponding map event to be received. You can do this with the GtkWidget::map-event signal.
(1.) In Enhanced X-Windows, a window on which a map call has been performed. Mapping makes a window visible if there are no obscuring or occluding windows. (2.) A list, usually in a profile, that establishes a correspondence between items in two groups. For example, a keyboard mapping can establish what character is displayed when a certain key is pressed. See also keyboard mapping and profile.
An action that invokes another action rather than containing its own EXEC-STRING. The file /usr/vue/types/user-prefs.vf contains the built-in mapped actions. For example, the built-in CDE Mail action used by the Front Panel is mapped to the Elm action.
Keywords: nvq, vcal, aligning, outcome, curriculum
A process of analyzing learning by matching it to identified learning outcomes or standards in approved programmes or awards; e.g. 'mapping' informal learning to National Occupational Standards, NVQ units, or other outcome-based awards
In the VCAL, mapping refers to aligning the content of locally developed programs and activities to the learning outcomes of a VCAL unit.
The process of comparing units of competency from a training package qualification with modules from curriculum to identify the degree of alignment.
Keywords: demographic, thematic, geography, audience, proprietary
The application of demographic and behavioral characteristics to specific demographic locations in order to efficiently define a specific market.
the process by which a computer generates thematic maps that combine geography with demographic information and a company's sales data or other proprietary information.
The method of identifying specific audience segments on a map, as they relate to out of home locations, both geographically and demographically.
Keywords: transforming, perspective, spatial, 'reality, matrix
The process of relating a source element to a target and describing the transformation that satisfies the relationship.

(2) A 3 by 3 matrix"a property of a transform object, view port object, and view device object"that specifies the translation, rotation, or distortion to be applied to a shape when it is drawn. (3) A transformation of spatial locations (points) that can be represented by a 3 by 3 perspective matrix. Synonymous with map and mapping matrix.
Transformation of data from one representation to another.
Usually refers to note assignments. For example, a bass sound may be "mapped" to the lowest two octaves of a keyboard and a piano assigned "mapped" to all other notes. Can also refer to sound and/or MIDI channel or program change assignments (for example, MIDI program change 42 may be mapped to select the sound in voice slot 01).
the method of assigning pixel values to represent fractal equations. There are a variety of mapping methods, most of which use a "standard" complex plane geometry.
is a PubMed function that will automatically add MeSH term(s) that are equivalent to one of the entered terms. For example, if you search for "tooth decay," PubMed maps this to the more clinical term "dental caries."
Keywords: hotdocs, ghostfill, practitioner, templates, profile
A mapping is a path to a shared storage location on a network. The name of a mapping usually describes what is stored in the location without giving any reference to the actual path. GhostFill supports dynamic mapping at the application level, including the use of profile variables to make the mapping adjust to individual practitioner preferences. HotDocs uses "reference paths" to allow for flexibility in location of shared network templates.

Overall Product Rankings
An Overview On Knife Sharpeners
Cooking at home has a slew of advantages for your waistline and your wallet. Making your own meals is far cheaper than ponying up for restaurant eats on a regular basis. Plus, you might shed some pounds if you're in control of how much oil and fat you cook with.
However, you'll need the right tools to mimic the delicious flavors you'd find in your favorite restaurant dishes. Quality knives are part of the foundation for a fully functional kitchen, but they can't execute perfect slices if you don't take proper care of them. A knife sharpener is a must-have for home cooks, but there's some background information you'll want to know before you pick one.
When you sharpen a knife, you remove minuscule amounts of metal from the knife to create a fresh, sharp blade. Sharpening your knife gives it a crisp edge, but it also wears your knife away since you're removing material every time you sharpen it.
Keeping your knife's blade straight is also crucial, and honing your knife in between sharpenings helps the knife last longer and cut more accurately. (Honing is an action that realigns the blade of an already sharp knife.)
There are many different kinds of knife sharpeners, but the most popular types are electric, manual and sharpening steels (also called honing rods). Electric sharpeners typically use a two or three-step process for creating, sharpening and honing your blade. Most electric sharpeners, like the Chef'sChoice Trizor Knife Sharpener, use guides to help you find the perfect angle. This is great for beginners, but more advanced cooks might prefer the manual control that comes with handheld sharpeners, like the Chef'sChoice Pronto Pro.
If you're using a manual knife sharpener, you'll place the sharpener on a flat surface and draw your knife through a sharpening slot. Models like PriorityChef's Knife Sharpener use this design. Handheld sharpeners are less expensive than electric options, and they're portable for chefs on the go.
Honing rods keep your blade properly aligned for better balance and precision while you slice and dice. They're also referred to as sharpening steels, but that title is a bit of a misnomer since they don't actually sharpen your knife. They're still an essential component of your knife care system. A selection like Idahone's Sharpening Rod uses a high-grade ceramic to re-align your knife's edge.
DWYM Fun Fact
The humble kitchen knife has fascinating, ancient origins. The oldest-known primitive stone tools were called "Oldowan knives" and they first appeared in modern-day Ethiopia about 2.5 million years ago. They were made by cracking rocks against each other to create sharp edges and helped our ancestors carve up horses, wild cattle, ducks and even rhinos.
The discovery of fire changed the way we made knives, allowing humans to form knives out of other materials other than large rocks. The copper and bronze ages added a tougher edge to kitchen knives, but the advent of iron and steel helped people craft knives that resemble what you'll find in your kitchen today.
The Knife Sharpener Buying Guide
- Before you buy, you'll want to assess how serious you are about home cooking. If you've invested in pricey knives and see yourself whipping up new creations every day, a high-end electric sharpener like the Chef'sChoice Trizor Electric Sharpener is worth a look. If you just want to keep your knives sharp for a few casual meals per week, a budget-friendly buy, like PriorityChef's Knife Sharpener, might be more your speed.
- How much counter space do you have available for your knife sharpener? The Chef'sChoice Trizor Sharpener is a full foot long and weighs a hefty five pounds, while the Chef'sChoice ProntoPro is just over nine inches long and only weighs eight ounces.
- Do you want a sharpener that shapes, sharpens and hones in one unit, or would you prefer a separate honing rod? The Chef'sChoice Trizor takes care of all three steps, while PriorityChef's manual Knife Sharpener only shapes and sharpens. You'll want to purchase a separate honing rod, like Idahone's Fine Ceramic Sharpening Rod, if you purchase a two-step sharpener.
- How much mobility do you need in your knife sharpener? Electric options, like the Chef'sChoice Trizor, sharpen your knives in a snap, but they're not road-friendly. If you have multiple homes or see yourself cooking on the road, a smaller manual sharpener, like PriorityChef's Knife Sharpener, will easily fit into most bags.

Volleyball defeats FGCU, Central Arkansas, falls to Penn State over weekend
After a tough three-set loss to No. 3 Penn State Friday afternoon, the Marquette women's volleyball team bounced back to sweep Florida Gulf Coast Friday night and defeat Central Arkansas in five sets Saturday, claiming second place in the Hilton Garden Inn/Homewood Suites Airport Volleyball Classic. The Golden Eagles pushed their record to 4-3 this season, with all three losses coming to top-15 teams. Coach Bond Shymansky thought the Nittany Lions provided Marquette's stiffest test to date.
"I thought we played well this weekend." Shymansky said. "We played a little bit sharper, a little bit cleaner. We faced a tougher foe than we've seen before in Penn State. They've showed why they've won five championships and are always a Final Four type of team."
Marquette struggled to stay with the Nittany Lions in all three sets, as PSU ripped off late runs to win 25-17, 25-12, 25-17. Penn State out hit the Golden Eagles .414 to .163 in the sweep. Freshman outside hitter Autumn Bailey still managed a match-high 13 kills in the loss.
"We set a really good game, but they just out-executed us in the transition game," Shymansky said. "It was a good lesson for us that the next step we need to take forward as a program is to be sharper in transition. It's a great indication for me that we are making big strides."
Junior right side hitter Lindsey Gosh, who had just five kills against Penn State, agreed with Shymansky about her team's improvement. She also felt the Nittany Lions' style of play slowed Marquette's momentum.
"I thought our team performed really well," Gosh said. "We gave Penn State what we could give them. We did a lot better than against USC who we played the previous weekend. With Penn State, it was hard because they are more of a dull team, and that brought us down a little bit."
After the difficult defeat, the Golden Eagles had to gather themselves to take on hosts Florida Gulf Coast just three hours later. They eked out a narrow first set win and then cruised to its first sweep of 2013 with scores of 26-24, 25-17 and 25-16. Redshirt freshman middle hitter Meghan Niemann had the best game of her short career, delivering 13 kills and hitting a game high .478. Bailey and Gosh also delivered double-digit kills with 12 and 10, respectively.
"We still had our confidence," Gosh said. "Bond told us 'you guys did really well against them, you've just got to prepare for the next match.' That's what we did. We watched film, prepared mentally and physically and did what we could do."
With Penn State sweeping all three teams it played, Marquette needed to beat Central Arkansas Saturday to grab second place and escape the weekend with a winning record. Gosh was the star for Marquette in its third game of the weekend, hitting .412 and logging a match-high 17 kills and leading the team to a come-from-behind five-set win (25-23, 23-25, 23-25, 25-20, 15-11). Bailey chipped in 15 kills and 11 digs for her fifth double-double in seven matches at Marquette.
"The fifth set is where your nerves get tested," Shymansky said. "Our group is growing up a little bit and getting a little bit stronger at the end of a match mentally as well as physically … We certainly didn't overlook them, we didn't take them for granted."
Marquette faces a quick turnaround, as it faces Wisconsin-Green Bay on the road Tuesday. The Phoenix are coached by Michaela Franklin, who served as Shymansky's top assistant for four years, and started 4-4, including a win at the Auburn Active Ankle Challenge.
"She knows our team way better than I know their team," Shymansky said of Franklin. "I think that's a big advantage for them, especially being on their gym floor. Our team is fully aware of that and definitely looking forward to it."

Call the experts now for help & advice on
An orthotic to protect the paediatric plano-valgus foot. Heel valgus is a degree deformity, and in its mild and moderate forms it is easily missed and often neglected.
The danger of the condition lies in its defiance of 4 factors, which maintain the foot in a correctly aligned or neutral position beneath the leg:
1) An adequate sustentaculum tali and properly placed calcaneo navicular ligament.
2) An adequate posterior tibial tendon and muscle.
3) A neutrally placed, non constricted Achilles tendon
4) A firm but not tight plantar aponeurosis. Maintaining correction requires a strong stable orthosis that also allows for comfort.
This is best achieved through a semi rigid shell that is contoured to provide natural anatomical support and a cushioned lining the enhances protection of the soft tissues. Many children presenting with calcaneo - valgus feet have poor muscle tone and so the blending of these materials within one device will offer a measureable improvement in symptoms while comfortably protecting the damaging effects of poor posture in the developing foot. Instep II offers real protection and stability to the rear and mid foot within one orthotic device.
The detailed anatomical contouring provides significant heel cupping and support to an unstable mid tarsal joint complex that often accounts for disabling symptoms of growing foot.

General Tire Reviews
While most tire brands are best known for their passenger car tires and their truck tires are more of a side business, General Tire has had its best success when it comes to selling owners of trucks, SUVs and crossovers.
And with the massive industry shift in North America away from sedans and into crossovers, General Tire is a growing concern. Plus, with affordably-priced options and a great tire warranty even on its off-road tires, General tires are a solid option for those who value, well… value!
A division of Continental Tires, General Tire is focused on off-road tires and with a smaller product lineup, it's simple to understand. And rather than have different sub-brands for their off-road tires, all models fall under the Grabber umbrella.
First up is the Grabber A/T X.
The Grabber X3 is a mud terrain tire that prioritized off-road over on-road performance. Plus, if the tread pattern didn't say enough, the raised red lettering makes it really stand out.
The Grabber APT has a less aggressive tread pattern, which in part results in a quieter on-road operation. It's also built for year-round operation in all weather conditions.
Finally, the Grabber AT2 is available. It's a durable all-terrain tire with a rugged yet simple design. Built to minimize on-road noise, it features a unique self-cleaning tread design and is rated for severe weather, including snow.
More than just all-terrain tires, General Tire also offers a full lineup of more on-road capable rubber, including several options for modern light-trucks, SUVs and crossovers. Included in this list is the Grabber HTS60 review below.

ive been using traktor a lot recently and one nice feature in the midi section allows for "modifiers"
a modifier can be used to make one control output different results dependant on the state of the modifier.
for instance normaly Fader A controls Layer 1 opacity but when Button B is pressed ( turning the modifier on ) Fader A now controls Clip opacity.
using modifiers, you could essentialy program much more detailed midi mappings, but without the need to have a huge ( and expensive ) controller.... individual mapping for when you want fine control of a clips parameters, then just press a single button to switch to a mapping for general mixing of multiple layers, then press another single button to change to an effects specific mapping and so on....
traktor allows 8 modifiers, but any control can have 2 modifier conditions attached. for example Button A will only do something if BOTH modifier B and C are turned on... so with 2 modifiers, you have the potential for highly assignable midi control.
i hope that makes sense! i think something along those lines could be very useful in Avenue and realy allow people maximum flexibility from both the software and the controller they use.

Architecture tenders are often lengthy processes which place significant strain on any architectural practice, as well as significant costs. Pre-existing relationships are often crucial to success in architectural tenders as is a track record of developing innovative designs to the subject industry.
Bid / No bid process
More often than not, companies tendering for Architectural services take a conservative approach to procurement. They want to see value, a strong track record in their industry, a commercial focus and a demonstrated understanding of their requirements. The client will generally be working closely with you, so the look and feel of your proposal as well as a flexible, adaptive approach through the process is critical to be successful in architecture tenders.
Once the opportunity cost of your time is taken into account when competing for architecture tenders, its easier to see why the bid / no bid decision is so important. We recommend the first and most important step is to review the specification document. When conducting this review, you need to have a critical eye. Read between the lines and think about if you have the experience they are looking for.
If a school is looking to design and build a new wing with additional classrooms and a large PV system, then architects with experience in the education sector would be looking to apply. So if you were a Tier-1 Architecture Firm with a history of delivering quality high-rise projects in City Centre areas, you would be best to consider weather it is work the opportunity cost for tendering at all.
On the other hand, you may be a suburban architecture office with close ties to the local community, as well as a track record entailing delivering projects to the local Tafe, and a few private schools, then this would be a valid opportunity.
Price and Relationships
Architecture tenders more often than not come down to price and relationships. The government is generally price sensitive, and the profile of the buyer often provides a great indication of how price sensitive they will be. An educated buyer will value service and quality over price, whilst some architecture tenders are designed to generate competitive tension and drive down the price.

Does your coffee go cold waiting for PC to boot up? Do error messages, computer crashes, and slow-to-load applications cut into your time-and your life? Everyday computer usage causes you to accumulate numerous junk files, malicious malware (that your antivirus may not detect), and creates an overweight, bloated registry – all of which can slow your computer performance to a crawl.

What is RegEdit?
The Windows registry is the heart of the Windows operating system. It stores the configuration settings for pretty much everything in the Windows Operating system. Microsoft provides its users with a registry editing utility called RegEdit. RegEdit is a utility that can be used to make various tweaks, and to occasionally fix a problem. It is a very powerful utility but information on its usage is sparse. Trying to use RegEdit can be a bit intimidating but its actually not that complicated once you know some stuff about it.
Why use RegEdit?
How to open RegEdit
Here's how you start launch RegEdit:
- Open the Run dialog box by using the shortcut Windows_key + r
- Type regedit and press Enter
Some Rules for safe editing
The Windows registry is an integral part of the Windows operating system, so you should be careful when editing its contents. There should be no problems as long as you follow some guidelines.
- RegEdit allows you to Backup and Restore your registry. This is very important. Therefore, you should always Backup your Registry prior to editing. This can also be done by making a System restore point. Just click File > Export… and save your registry settings in a safe place.
- Try to be patient. If a registry edit requires you to make many changes, make only one registry edit, and then wait to see if everything is working correctly. You may need to restart your computer or log-off for the change to take effect.
- Don't go and apply every registry hack you can find. Only follow the advice of reliable sources. Also, remember to backup your registry every time.
Information in the Registry
The registry has two main categories of information. The Local Machine refers to the whole operating system's settings, and another category is all the other users containing their respective settings. The Current User is the user who is logged on at the time.
The Windows Registry Tree
The Windows Registry is presented in a tree like structure in the RegEdit utility. It is a database containing various configuration settings relating to software running in the Windows operating system, and Windows itself. All the Windows registry is, is basically a Windows Registry is a hierarchical database or tree. Just like the folders on your hard drive. The Folders or Keys have sub-folders or subkeys. The keys have values which is what they contain. This value can have different formats (number, string, etc).
There are Five main Root Keys
These keys contain all other keys, they are also called Hives
This was the introduction to and the structure of the RegEdit utility. The next part will feature a simple guide on how to easily and safely use RegEdit.

Carbon steel is an alloy that is made up by the mixture of carbon and iron. In addition, several other elements with low maximum percentages are also included, such as manganese, with 1.65% maximum, silicon, with 0.60% maximum, and copper, with 0.60% maximum.
Depending upon the amount of presence of carbon in the alloy, Carbon steel can be classified into 4 different categories-
- Low Carbon Steel – Composition of 0.05%-0.25% carbon and up to 0.4% manganese. Also known as mild steel, it is a low-cost material that is easy to shape. While not as hard as higher-carbon steels, carburizing can increase its surface hardness.
- Medium Carbon Steel – Composition of 0.29%-0.54% carbon, with 0.60%-1.65% manganese. Medium carbon steel is ductile and strong, with long-wearing properties.
- High Carbon Steel – Composition of 0.55%-0.95% carbon, with 0.30%-0.90% manganese. It is very strong and holds shape memory well, making it ideal for springs and wire.
- Very High Carbon Steel – Composition of 0.96%-2.1% carbon. Its high carbon content makes it an extremely strong material. Due to its brittleness, this grade requires special handling.
The Lower carbon steels are softer and more easily formed, and steels with higher carbon content are harder and stronger, but less ductile, and they become more difficult to machine and weld.

In my latest, and still being shopped SciFi novel, I play with the idea of a cognitive link between my two protagonists. It starts out with randomly transmitted thoughts, proceeds to visual images, emotions and even smells that slip into each other's brains. As it turns out, a type of a mind connection happens more than we realize and it's called neural coupling. Think Spock and the Vulcan mind meld. Think of every story you've ever read involving telepathy and now transfer that idea to writer and reader.
And here's an interesting tidbit for writers. Cliché phrases don't activate the brain in the same way. They don't activate the frontal cortex. This means that not all stories are equally effective at creating neural coupling. Because I'm a writer, I can't help asking what stories create the most powerful c. Because that's the kind of story I want to write. I'm guessing they are the stories that explore universal human emotions. No matter how intricate the plot, how beautiful the prose, how high the concept, if the story isn't one the reader can relate to on an emotional level the coupling isn't as strong. And as writer's we want the strongest connection we can forge with our readers. But there's still a bit of a mystery here. Why do I connect more strongly with one person than with another or with one particular author? There must be something similar in our mental make-up or existing experiences that makes us resonate.
We think in narratives. We remember in narratives. We use stories to connect with other people, to explain events in our lives, and to explain our own behavior to ourselves. Stories are the cosmic glue that connects us all.

John Roberts cut through the semantics and the florid prose about "dignity" when he said this to one of the attorneys arguing in favor of same-sex marriage: "You're not seeking to join the institution. You're seeking to change what the institution is."
And there, my friends, you have the critical question: is marriage a large-tent institution that embraces many different variations of "devotion" (and therefore gays and lesbians are only asking to enter under the tent,) or is it a solemn petrified edifice that must be remodeled, stone by stone, to accommodate the wishes of a newly-empowered minority.
When you put it that way, you understand what is really at stake.
It's common to hear opponents of same-sex marriage described as bigots, religious zealots or inhabitants of the "wrong side of history," as if we were walled up behind Check Point Charlie in East Berlin. There is this sense of inevitability on the part of gay marriage advocates, to the point that they can sometimes even show sympathy for those of us who insist on traditional definitions. I've had conversations where my enlightened interlocutor will smile sadly, tilt her head as if dealing with a confused child and figuratively pat me on the head as if I were Cindy Lou Who and she was sending me off to my bigoted bed with a glass of milk.
The attendant sigh says "she'll learn."
Actually, "she" has been learning a lot of things lately, particularly in the wake of the conscience law controversy in Indiana last month. Hopefully, the justices on the high court have been studying up as well, particularly when it comes to that crash course in societal bullying.
John Roberts wasn't explicit, but it's clear he was referring to what happened in his native Hoosier state when he observed that gay and lesbian couples are trying to impose their conception of marriage on a pre-existing institution, changing it beyond recognition. Attorney General Donald Verilli also realized what was happening when, in response to a question about what impact the universal legalization of gay marriage would have on a religious school's right to deny teacher housing to a gay couple, he delivered the equivalent of a sophisticated "uh, um" and failed to provide a legitimate answer.
That's what usually happens when marriage equality advocates are faced with the blunt question: "What do you do if someone doesn't want to bake you a cake?" or in more general terms, how does your concept of equality square with someone else's sense of freedom?
Before the Indiana dust up, proponents of same-sex marriage tried to make it seem as if legalization of these unions was simply a matter of due process and equal protection, or as Justice Anthony Kennedy likes to trill in his Rod McKuen-like majority decisions, "dignity." But when it comes to the dignity of people who object to gay unions on religious or moral grounds, they are dismissed as bigots. The rainbow flags come out, CNN marches into the street to find the most aggrieved and photogenic victims and, poof!, a governor is reduced to blathering apologies about offending a minority whose political clout far outweighs its size.
I'm actually glad this happened so close in time to these critical oral arguments on same-sex marriage, because it provides a blueprint for the justices of how we arrived at the point where two men marrying each other became an undeniable civil right, and speaking out against it became hate speech.
This is the classic modus operandi of those who seek change by all costs, even through intimidation. The advocates for marriage equality (clever term) are well-versed in that practice which was perfected by feminists of the Roe v. Wade era. They could not find an actual "right" to abortion in the constitution, and so they switched their focus and started talking about the "dignity" of women while at the same time, minimizing the dignity of the unborn child. At some level, it was a fabulous success. Abortion became legal at a national level.
But anyone who has been a warrior on the bloody battlefield of abortion rights over the past four decades knows how Roe kept the debate alive, because we who think judges shouldn't usurp the voice of the people on these crucial issues refused to go gentle into that nihilistic night.
I'm predicting that will be the case if the justices rule in favor of the same sex advocates. Frankly, if you asked a majority of Americans, they'd have no problem with giving same sex couples all of the legal rights and privileges (and headaches) conveyed by traditional marriage. By nature, we tend to be an egalitarian population that rewards fair dealing.
But we don't like to be told by a few men and women in black robes that, because we disagree with the frenetic wave of change orchestrated by a motivated minority, we are bigots. As Justice Roberts said, "People feel very differently about something if they have the chance to vote on it than if it's imposed on them by the courts."
If the high court chooses to reward the loudest voices with a right that simply does not exist at either common law or in the reverent folds of the constitutional fabric, they can rest assured that there will be battles waged by those who refuse to capitulate in someone else's version of "dignity."
They could be people of faith. They could be atheists with a devotion to constitutional integrity. Or they could simply be people who prefer the stability of a great stone edifice to the wind-whipped flimsiness of a fragile tent.Christine M. Flowers

Kawhi Leonard incident makes the Warriors the Super Villains
When taking bets for the Super-est Super Villain of all the Warriors, not many would have put money on journeyman center Zaza Pachulia.
The Warriors earned that designation in the offseason, when they signed Kevin Durant as a free agent and morphed from plucky newcomers into unstoppable machine, complete with a cast of potential villains. Like Durant or Draymond Green or even Matt Barnes, who would draw some betting action.
But Pachulia is now the one burning up both the Internet and San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich's cool. And he has given the world outside the Bay Area a reason to root against the Warriors.
It's difficult for the Warriors' adoring fans to understand, but the rest of the world doesn't love their team the way they do. The dislike probably started with the team's historic regular-season run last year, the lofty comparisons to Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls, Green's postseason antics, owner Joe Lacob's pronouncement that the Warriors were "light years ahead" of other teams. It all culminated with the signing of Durant, a move that was somehow, laughably, seen as cheating.
And now we have Pachulia, who crowded Spurs star Kawhi Leonard on a shot in Sunday's Game 1 of the Warriors-Spurs Western Conference finals. Leonard landed on Pachulia's foot and left the game after again spraining his left ankle. The Warriors trailed by 23 points at that point but came back to win 113-111.
Popovich came out guns blazing at Spurs practice Monday morning, eviscerating Pachulia as a player and a human being.
"It's dangerous, it's unsportsmanlike," he said. "This particular individual has a history with that kind of action."
It's true that Pachulia has a reputation for physical play; just watch him careening around the court and you're not surprised that he comes with a history of banging and bumping. He inadvertently took out his teammate Durant in February while taking a spill, leading to the star's knee injury that sidelined him for more than a month.
But calling someone dirty or unsportsmanlike implies intent.
"Because he has this history, it can't just be, 'Oh, it was inadvertent,'" Popovich went on. "Who gives a damn about what the intent was? You ever heard of manslaughter?"
Whoa. Deep breaths, everybody.
Popovich is an intimidating presence on the best of days and this was him at his most intimidating. He wants to not only protect his player, he also wants to send a loud and angry message to the league and to the officials who will work the rest of the series. Those officials are cowed by Popovich, like most everyone else.
"He wants to win," said David West, who was with the Spurs last season. "He'll do or say whatever."
Popovich also wants to divert attention from the disheartening loss. And get inside Pachulia's head, hoping to render the Warriors' starting center ineffective or cautious. Popovich's anger will fuel the fans in San Antonio, who are sure to let Pachulia know he is Super Villain No. 1 every time he is on the court in Games 3 and 4 there.
"I don't think it will affect him," Warriors acting head coach Mike Brown said. "Maybe if he was a young guy. But Zaza's mature."
The Spurs lost their best player for much of the second half of Game 1 and for Tuesday's Game 2 and perhaps for longer, though Leonard will have a five-day layoff before Saturday's Game 3. The Spurs blew a 25-point first-half lead. They have their backs to the wall, and Popovich knows it.
"Think about what happened last night — a totally unnatural closeout that the league outlawed years ago, and pays great attention to," Popovich said.
He omitted the fact that the league outlawed the play, where a defender slides into a shooter's space and impedes his landing, in large part because of the behavior of Bruce Bowen — a player whom Popovich coached and defended.
"Dirty," like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
"It's always someone's personal opinion," Green said.
The truth is that Leonard was playing hampered from the beginning of this series. He missed the late part of Game 5 against the Houston Rockets in the previous series and all of Game 6, which the Spurs won easily without him to finish off Houston. On Sunday, Leonard rolled his tender ankle stepping on his teammate David Lee — who was sitting on the bench — 49 seconds before the Pachulia play. After that, the odds of Leonard making it through the rest of the game without reinjuring the ankle seemed slim.
Brown noted that about 30 seconds after the controversial play, a similar play happened at the other end, when Stephen Curry shot with LaMarcus Aldridge defending. Brown asked the officials why a foul wasn't called. He was told it was because Leonard landed on Pachulia while Curry fell to avoid landing on Aldridge.
"You go back and watch the film, they're both identical," Brown said, with his own piece of gamesmanship.
A Warriors official said he was told by the league that there would be no follow-up, such as a fine for Pachulia.
Still, Pachulia's moment is being replayed everywhere. Complaints about the "boring" playoffs have stopped. Network analysts are throwing around terms like "flagrant" and "outrageous" in a bid to hype interest and ratings.
The respected and injured Spurs have become a sentimental favorite, while the world has been waiting for a solid reason to lash out at the heavily favored Warriors.
Zaza. The Super Villain.

I made this pot for Edan Wingfield. I set out with the idea to incorporate many aspects that make him up as a person. I chose to focus around a time where he went on a trip with one of his best friends. They took a trip to Arizona and while driving they were cruising down a straight, empty road with nothing but sand. It was a road which he remembered so well, beautiful wide mountain ranges along the horizon. I decided I would build my sculpture with my plant surrounded by mountains. Thinking of the coloring of the pot I had the concept in my head of a sunrise, because of how much Edan has had to move around and start over, showing a new day with a new sense of hope. I added a waterfall flowing into the desert representing Edan's parents. The desert is being engulfed with water which i decided to add in order to show the influence, and motivation Edan's parents have given him, surrounding him with love and support. While exploring plant options I came across a store which had a vine looking succulent called Mezoo. The reason I chose this plant was because the different lengths and crazy feel of the plant show how much Edan thinks and how many different directions he's gone through out his life.

Asbestos was once one of the most widely used building materials, but after WWII ended, the picture changed. Scientists and doctors began exploring the link between asbestos and severe illnesses such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. This research showed that asbestos was the major cause of such illnesses. For mesothelioma, it was just about the only cause. The proliferation of lawsuits, especially class action suits, in the late 1960s and 1970s threatened asbestos manufacturers and industries that used asbestos in their products with financial ruin. Asbestos has been largely eliminated as a building material, but it still exists in the environment in buildings constructed before 1950, and the asbestos that was used for heat insulation and fire-proofing in those buildings is still released into the environment. For this reason, the nature of asbestos and its attendant health risks can still necessitate the need to avoid exposure and seek prompt and competent medical care for any asbestos-related illness they may have contracted.
Asbestos is a collection of six minerals that occur naturally in the environment. The mineral is usually found in bundles of fibers. If the bundles are separated, a common occurrence when asbestos sheets are cut or otherwise modified on a construction project, the individual fibers are released into the atmosphere. Once released, the fibers may remain airborne for a significant period of time.
If asbestos fibers are inhaled, they usually lodge in the lungs or surrounding tissues. Medical research has shown that after a dormant period of 20 to 30 years, the fibers can cause a variety of cancers or other lung ailments. The most serious illness is mesothelioma, an especially virulent form of lung cancer. It is almost always fatal, and no real cure exists. Asbestos can cause other diseases, too, such as more generic forms of lung cancer and a severe lung inflammation called asbestosis. Asbestosis is not always fatal, but it severely limits the body's ability to inhale and distribute oxygen.
Anyone who thinks they may have been exposed to airborne asbestos fibers should seek a competent medical examination and diagnosis. Anyone who receives a positive diagnosis for asbestos inhalation or any of the asbestos-related diseases may wish to consult a lawyer who is experienced in representing persons who seek damages for exposure to asbestos fibers.

Washington linebacker Potoa'e does NOT want fries with that
SEATTLE -- Benning Potoa'e will not be swayed either by a Burger King or a Dairy Queen. Nor will his circle of friends include anyone named Arby's, Carl's Jr. or Wendy's.
Potoa'e's rapid fast food vendetta started with a wager he made with former teammate Will Dissly more than a week ago. Dissly bet $100 that Potoa'e cannot hold out on eating fast food until Nov. 30, the day of the Pac-12 Championship Game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
"I asked him how he got in shape so well because he was where I was at. He said he made a bet with one of our other teammates that he wasn't going to eat fast food for a year," Potoa'e recalled after practice Friday. "He made the bet with me. I did the same. We made a list of foods I can't eat.
"In terms of how hard it is? It's pretty hard. I'm not going to lie to you."
Take away pocketing an extra $100. Potoa'e's reasoning goes beyond winning a bet.
Washington's redshirt junior outside linebacker has already lost around eight pounds and he feels better about how his body is performing. It showed during Day 3 of spring camp when the 6-foot-3 and now-267-pound former Lakes star flew around the field during drills.
He had one sack and was close to getting another. Controlled setting or not, these are glimpses that the Huskies find so inviting when it comes to Potoa'e and the kind of player he can become. A former four-star recruit, he's played in all 26 of UW's games over the last two seasons.
Potoa'e went from 19 tackles and 2.0 tackles for loss in 2016 to 27 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss and three sacks last season as a starter. The change in diet, in his mind, is the start of a ripple effect. One that could lead to him being the latest menace for a Huskies' defense that returns nine starters from what was the No. 8 unit in the nation.
"It definitely comes out in how I feel," he said. "Regardless of how I move or not. I feel good, I feel better. I feel lighter on my feet."
Potoa'e came to UW in 2015 after a senior year at Lakes when he finished with 19 sacks and 72 tackles.
It's taken time for Potoa'e to put it all together. Especially if that means giving up fast food.
"I see Benning just growing up," Huskies senior defensive lineman Jaylen Johnson said. "Every player comes in. They eat whatever they want. They want to have poor work habits and I think he's just starting to mature into the player he can be. He's seeing that translate onto the field."
Senior linebacker Tevis Bartlett said Potoa'e is "one of the best guys you'll meet for sure" on the entire team. He openly admits Potoa'e is faster, can jump higher while outweighing the 238-pound Bartlett by more than 25 pounds.
What Bartlett has seen so far from Potoa'e is a consistently relentless approach during practice while emerging into a leader for the outside linebackers.
Seniors like Bartlett and Johnson along with proven yet hungry (just not for fast food) players like Potoa'e are why Washington is in the discussion for the College Football Playoff.
Potoa'e could play a role in UW reaching the CFP for the second time in three seasons. Getting there means having to reach and then presumably win the Pac-12 Championship Game.
From there, who knows what's next? But if it helps, there is a Carl's Jr. and a Taco Bell less than two miles away from Levi's Stadium.
"I can't cut corners," he said. "Obviously, there's a whole lot more I didn't put on the list on purpose but I'm trying not to eat at those places as well."

VW diesel owners to get $1,000 in gift cards and vouchers
Owners of 482,000 diesel Volkswagens and Audis in the U.S. are eligible for $1,000 in gift cards and vouchers as the automaker strives to placate customers dismayed by an emissions-rigging scandal.
VW announced the offer Monday. The car owners have been in limbo since mid-September, when VW admitted the cars are equipped with software that turns on pollution controls during government tests and turns them off while on the road.
VW has yet to unveil a fix for the cars. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says the cars, with 2-liter four-cylinder diesel engines, emit 10 to 40 times the allowable amount of harmful nitrogen oxide while being driven.
The $500 Visa gift card can be used anywhere, while the $500 voucher can be used at a VW dealership for things such as an oil change or new set of tires, or even a down payment on a new car. The offer also includes free roadside assistance for the diesel vehicles for three years.
To get the gift cards and vouchers in the U.S., owners will not be required to sign anything giving up their right to sue Volks-wagen or force them into arbitration, spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan said.
Volkswagen already is offering $2,000 to current VW owners to trade in their cars for new vehicles, and the gift cards and vouchers would add $1,000 to that.
VW said that its Audi luxury brand would launch the same program on Friday.

Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. The force of character is cumulative. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
If 'the voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tracks,' then it is more genuine to be present today than to recount yesterdays. How would you describe today using only one sentence? Tell today's sentence to one other person. Repeat each day.
It is 8:14 am and today is early. How will I describe it in just one sentence?
Today is full of beauty and possibility.

The 1842 Strike
In the summer of 1842 a great wave of strikes engulfed Lancashire and Yorkshire. The wave began in the Staffordshire coalfield in July when the miners went on strike for fewer hours and more pay. They also linked economic with political demands when a meeting passed a resolution stating that "nothing but the People's Charter can give us a fair day's wage for a fair day's work'." Miners marched from pit to pit spreading the strike as far north as Stockport.

We start with the latest political developments in our very own backyard.
Southern California Public Radio political reporters Alice Walton and Kitty Felde will be Take Two's guides for what happened in Tuesday's election and what it means for Southern California.
Let's talk turnout - was it as dismal as the prognosticators said it would be?
Now to who won - and who didn't. State Senator Ted Lieu joins the Congressional ranks, having beat out Republican Elan Carr for Henry Waxman's seat. Not surprising I suppose since that leans pretty heavily Democratic. How close was this race in the end? So now that he is in, what can his constituents expect from him?
What about the LA County Board of Supervisors race? You have Bobby Shriver, nephew of John F. Kennedy, pitted against former state senator Shiela Kuehl - who was the big winner?
- It's not often that a new face joins this board of five people - when was the last time a seat was open? What's he/she going to bring to the table here?
This is no surprise but Jim McDonnell is the new Sheriff of LA County. Take Two will talk to him later in the show but what will be his biggest challenge out of the gate?
On to the propositions. Prop 45, 46 and 48 got voted down - what happened there?
Let's look state-wide - another obvious win: Jerry Brown is still Governor of California having easily beat out Republican Neel Kashkari. Would you call it a landslide?
- One poll yesterday said 4 out of 10 voters apparently didn't even know Brown was seeking re-election. What's up with that?
- From the results, can we say that Californians feel pretty good about the job Brown is doing - or is it that not enough people voted?
A race that was close was the one for state school superintendent - Tom Torlakson has kept the job. Now what was wild about this race is the amount of money spent - $30 million - and the race was between two Democrats. Why so heated?
Torlakson won pretty narrowly. What does this say about how voters are feeling about educational reform in this state?

Syria crisis: Turkey refugee surge amid escalation fear
- Published
Thousands of Syrian refugees have been fleeing into Turkey, officials there say, as UN chief Ban Ki-moon warns the crisis is escalating.
More than 2,300 fled on Wednesday, by far the highest number in one day.
Earlier, the UN called for the Syrian government to "urgently" implement an agreed ceasefire.
The approach of the deadline for a ceasefire seems to have brought an intensification rather than reduction in violence.
In the Jouret al-Shiyah quarter of Homs, shells or rockets were falling at a rate of four in 30 seconds.
Activists accuse the government of trying to complete its crackdown come what may; government officials say it is the rebel fighters who are exploiting the impending withdrawal of the military from towns and cities to improve their position.
Activist groups say at least 60 people were killed in shelling or shooting by security forces on Thursday in various parts of the country, mainly the central city of Homs and Idlib province in the north-west.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who is fighting to crush a year-long uprising, agreed late last month to a UN-Arab League peace plan which sets a 10 April deadline for a ceasefire.
A UN team has arrived in Damascus to negotiate the possibility of deploying UN monitors to oversee any ceasefire.
The BBC's Jim Muir, reporting from Beirut, says the real test of the commitment of both sides to the ceasefire will come on Tuesday, by which time the government has pledged to stop using heavy weapons and to pull troops and tanks out of population centres.
If that happens, our correspondent says, the opposition side will be under strong pressure to follow suit and call off all armed attacks.
'War zones'
A Turkish official told Reuters news agency that the refugees crossed near to the Turkish village of Bukulmez and that others were waiting on the other side of the border.
The new arrivals were taken to a refugee camp in Reyhanli in 44 minibuses, he said.
More than 42,000 Syrians have fled the country since the beginning of the revolt, which the UN estimates has killed more than 9,000 people.
The Syrian authorities say about 2,000 security personnel have also been killed.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday he did not trust President Assad to comply with the peace plan.
"He shoots people but pretends he is withdrawing troops. He is not withdrawing troops but he is duping the international community."
Earlier, Mr Ban said the violence was claiming lives every day and appealed to Mr Assad "to show vision and leadership".
"Cities, towns and villages have been turned into war zones. The sources of violence are proliferating," Mr Ban told the UN General Assembly. "The human rights of the Syrian people continue to be violated… Humanitarian needs are growing dramatically."
'Protection of civilians'
UN and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan's plan calls for Damascus to pull back troops and heavy weaponry by 10 April, and for a full ceasefire to take hold within another 48 hours.
Mr Annan, the former head of the UN, said he expected a full ceasefire to take effect by 06:00 (03:00 GMT) on 12 April.
But Syria's UN ambassador said that the main threat to the ceasefire came from the armed opposition backed by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Bashar Jaafari demanded that Mr Annan obtain written guarantees from those countries that they were on board with the peace plan.
He also said that while troops and heavy weapons would be withdrawn from cities under the plan, police would remain "for the protection of the civilians".
Mr Annan is expected to travel to Iran on 11 April, the day after the partial ceasefire is due, to try to win further regional support for his peace plan.
The UN has requested that Mr Annan provide proposals for a mechanism to supervise the ceasefire to and update the Security Council on progress.
Mr Annan said that if the ceasefire was successful a small mobile UN monitoring mission of some 200-250 observers could be brought into Syria.
