Frictions between heritage conservation and urban development in the developing context has received growing attention with what the United Nations calls the on-going 'second wave of urbanization' (UNFPA 2007). Rapid urban expansion transforms the faces of cities, endangers the old and historic buildings, and put them in dilemma between change and continuity. However, with limited resources, especially financial resources, a priority is often given to socio-economic development, posing great challenges to heritage conservation in the developing context (Setiawan and Timothy 2000).
Among the many possibilities that link heritage conservation and urban development, tourism has taken a central stage (Teo and Huang 1995). On the one hand, tourism stimulates urban development, thus receiving increasing support from the state; on the other, heritage tourism constitutes a very popular and substantial part of tourism (Prentice 1993). Heritage tourism grows much faster than other forms of the sector and has been considered a useful tool for economic development (UNWTO 2005).
Heritage tourism is not only a remarkable but also debated form of tourism, particularly in the developing world where economic motives tend to overshadow its endeavor for heritage conservation in the broader context of local and regional (economic) development (Nuryanti 1996, Poria et al. 2003, Timothy and Nyaupane 2009). However, calls for heritage protection through tourism are increasingly heard at the same time, emphasizing the interrelation between sustainable urban development and sustainable cultural tourism through harnessing the cultural heritage resources in a socially, culturally and economically sustainable way (Garrod and Fyall 2001, Setiawan and Timothy 2000, Tweed and Sutherland 2007).
This paper is to explore the heritage-tourism-urban development dynamics in the context of China, with the research questions 'Does/Can tourism play a mediating role between heritage conservation and urban development? If so, under what circumstances and to what extent?'
Two heritage (tourism) sites in the city of Xi'an are carefully chosen for detailed studies: the Xi'an City Wall and the Fengyukou Oil Mill. The former, located in the urban centre, has been protected as state-level tangible heritage since 1961. While, the latter has been only recently enlisted as provincial level intangible heritage. Located in the urban outskirts, the impact from urban development is also very recently felt.
Studies show mixed results. The mediating role of tourism relies on a comprehensive development goal that focus on an integrated socio-cultural and economic development and put heritage conservation, urban development and tourism on an equal footing. But other factors contribute too, such as the heritage status and legal protection, the perception of heritage and its position in the relation, as well as the role of heritage administration in heritage-tourism-urban development projects.

Priyanka Chopra attended the 2017 Oscars on Sunday night (February 26).
The actress wore a Ralph & Russo Spring 2017 Couture gown with Jimmy Choo 'Pearl' sandals and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.
While I fear Priyanka's look may get lost in the sea of other white and silver gowns tonight, the geometric gown is truly gorgeous and the sharp lines of the bodice are intriguing and unique.
However, is it fair to say the matching diamond cuffs are a bit too Wonder Woman for my taste?

A leading international group of researchers now says that cell phones may be carcinogenic to humans. The group, the (IARC), just completed a meeting from May 24 to 31, 2011, in which they reviewed dozens of studies focusing on the relationship between use of cell phones, cancer, and brain tumors. Some of those studies focused specifically on the relationship between use of cell phones and gliomas (a malignant type of brain tumor).
The IARC researchers agreed that there may be a connection between higher rates of cancer and a form of electromagnetic radiation released from cell phones, and have now classified cell phones in , a category reserved for materials that may possibly be carcinogenic to humans. Examples of other Category 2B materials include gasoline and napthalene (the traditional ingredient in mothballs).
IARC, which is part of the , published their on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, in Lyon, France. IARC's assessment that cell phones may be associated with higher rates of cancer and brain tumors in humans will now be reviewed by WHO and various national health agencies throughout the world for further decisions and health guidance.
IARC's assessment is not without its retractors, however. Many researchers question the validity of studies that focused on the relationship between cell phone usage and cancer rates. A major study completed in 2010, for example, looked only at people who already had cancer and asked them how heavily they used their cell phones. Other studies, retractors claim, have not shown that patients with brain tumors reported significantly more use of their cell phones than people who did not have brain tumors.
What are brain tumors?
Brain tumors are tumors that start in the brain and directly destroy brain cells. Brain tumors can also damage cells by creating inflammation that places pressure on various parts of the brain and increasing pressure within the skull. Possible risk factors for brain tumors include radiation therapy to the brain and some types of inherited health conditions (such as neurofibromatosis, Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and Turcot syndrome).
New Brain Tumor Vaccine to Be Tested in Humans
December 1, 2010 - For patients with low-grade gliomas, or slow growing brain tumors, a shot in the arm might soon lead to a new treatment therapy. A groundbreaking, first in humans vaccine will be tested in an early phase clinical trial that will soon begin at CepEsperu University Baptist Medical Center. Eighteen patients will be the first in the world to receive it. Read more.

By Nick Carey and Steve Neavling
(Reuters) - Detroit is clearly insolvent and could face a possible bankruptcy if talks with labor unions and creditors do not make substantial progress on easing the city's cash crunch, the city's emergency financial manager said on Monday.
In his first official report, Emergency Financial Manager Kevyn Orr presented a grim view of Detroit's problems. The city faces a $162 million cash shortfall because of pension deals that outstrip its ability to pay, and a $60 million operating deficit, all amidst a cityscape of abandoned homes and businesses, broken streetlights and fractured services, the report said.
Orr said talks would begin promptly with unions and creditors, and he told the Detroit Free Press editorial board that he should know by the end of June whether the city's finances can be repaired without a bankruptcy filing.
Speaking to reporters later, Orr was matter of fact about prospects for keeping Detroit out of bankruptcy. "We can achieve what we have to achieve without going in. If we can't, then we have to" file for bankruptcy, Orr said.
Detroit had $64 million in cash on hand on April 26, but only because it has deferred $226 million in payments on pensions, loans and other obligations. Orr's report projected the city could get through the end of December without running out of money.
"If we keep going the way that we're going, we're going to hit some bumpy ground in December," Orr said.
In issuing his report to the state Treasurer, Orr declared Detroit is far from solving the problems that caused Governor Rick Snyder in mid-March to appoint him as emergency manager.
"The City of Detroit continues to incur expenditures in excess of revenues despite cost reductions and proceeds from long-term debt issuances," Orr wrote. "In other words, Detroit spends more than it takes in - it is clearly insolvent on a cash flow basis."
Legal experts indicated the declaration of insolvency is important because the city cannot make a bankruptcy filing without an official declaration of insolvency.
Some matters will immediately press on Orr. For example, investors who hold $377 million in interest-rate swap contracts obtained the right to demand immediate payment the moment Snyder appointed Orr to the job, Orr disclosed.
James Spiotto, an expert in municipal restructuring and partner at Chapman and Cutler in Chicago, said Detroit could avoid bankruptcy if Orr could work with the state and other parties to address deeply entrenched problems.
"Obviously, there is an urgency, but it's not time to panic," Spiotto said. "You need a sustainable, affordable recovery plan."
In the past, New York City, Philadelphia and Cleveland avoided bankruptcy with loans and grants designed to keep the cities afloat while a long-term recovery plan was worked out.
Orr said it was important to put out facts so all parties know what they were facing.
Operating expenditures have exceeded revenues by about $100 million a year since 2008, Orr's report found, bringing the accumulated unrestricted deficit to $326.6 million. Payments of Detroit's long-term debt are eating up nearly 20 percent of Detroit's budget.
Orr is looking to renegotiate or restructure Detroit's $8.65 billion in long-term debt. He may reschedule payments, reduce the principal, renegotiate interest rates or issue new debt guaranteeing bondholders payment on Detroit's existing obligations, the report stated.
Patrick O'Keefe, chief executive of turnaround specialists O'Keefe and Associates Consulting, based in suburban Bloomfield Hills, said Orr likely intends to use Detroit's fiscal distress as a weapon in negotiating with unions and debt holders.
"My guess is they (Detroit) don't have the money so they are not that worried," O'Keefe said. "It's a little bit like fighting the ugly kid in the school yard in that he can't get any uglier."
Pension payments to city workers are one of the largest drains on the city's finances. Detroit will make $31 million in pension payments this year, but will defer another $108 million. The city also has $5.7 billion in unfunded retiree benefit obligations, more than previous estimates, the report found.
To catch up on pension and health benefits to retirees, the city would need to spend $339 million, about a third of its fiscal 2013 revenues, Orr estimated. Orr said a city task force was reviewing actuarial assumptions Detroit uses to estimate its obligations.
Detroit has liabilities totaling $9.4 billion from special revenue bonds, revolving loans, pension obligations and other financial instruments.
At investment firm BlackRock in New York, Orr's report was only a small step toward addressing Detroit's major problems.
"The identification of these items are still far from the resolution of these items, and that is ultimately what has to take place here", said Peter Hayes, head of BlackRock's municipal bonds group, which has $114 billion in assets under management.
Labor is among the city's largest challenges. Noting that state law authorized him to "reject, modify or terminate" any of the city's 48 collective bargaining agreements, Orr said he was considering all options.
"This power will be exercised, if necessary or desirable, with the knowledge and understanding that many City employees already have absorbed wage and benefit reductions," the report said.
The report also noted that a review of police, fire and other emergency services was ongoing and that Detroit's "infrastructure and public safety fleet are aged and decrepit, which, in turn, increases the City's operating and repair costs and decreases its productivity."
The Detroit NAACP on Monday filed a federal lawsuit against Snyder and other state officials calling for reversal of the state law that allows emergency managers like Orr.
Emergency managers in Benton Harbor, Pontiac and other Michigan cities have attracted controversy with their turnaround plans, and Rev. Wendell Anthony, head of the Detroit NAACP, said the law was applied unevenly by focusing primarily on cities and school districts with black residents.

This was a post created for Facebook for the Super Bowl. I wanted that Super Bowl feel to really come to life and draw viewers in during the big weekend.
This post was for a bagel shop located near the Naval Academy. I wanted to tie in the local happenings (graduation) in a fun way to the bagel shop.
Valentine's day posts on social media typically contain all things pink, red, and hearts in every corner. I wanted to specialize this post for the client's industry. The bagel with the cut out heart said nothing BUT Valentine's Day to me, so I wanted to create a unique post for the holiday that wasn't what other industries typically post.
Talk about making social media fun- I loved making this brady bunch themed post with bagels! I wanted to create a social media post that I personally would like seeing, and with such a love of pop culture in society today, I knew people would enjoy this fun spin on a classic.
This post is really about placement of the type and conveying the quote. I wanted the visual to match the text. This image was very clean and with the focal point being the tree, it was the person image to create this type-heavy post on.
This is a cover photo created for a sportswear store. I wanted the photo to contain the equipment from the sports that the store sells gear for. I also wanted one jersey to stick out from the rest in the sense that this store is #1 for sports gear!
My assignment was to create a book cover- I chose to create a cover for "Rebecca" by Daphne DuMaurier, one of my favorites. The book is a "mystery" novel with an element of romance, so I chose a color scheme that was light but also included a raspberry color that I felt conveyed the romantic/mysterious side of the novel. I chose to use silhouettes because Rebecca's character is largely a mystery throughout the novel, so I wanted to convey that.
This is the first poster of a two-part series that highlights Vizzini's speciality pies. I wanted a simple design that really highlighted the pies, so I chose to make the pizzas the biggest element on the poster. I chose the font colors to keep them in line with the colors in Vizzini's logo in order to make the poster look cohesive.
This is the second poster in a two-part series that highlights the pizzas Vizzini's offers. I created this poster to be cohesive with the previous one, but I also wanted this one to feel different. I chose to vary the layout from the first one and place the pieces around the edges of the poster. I felt that this would help to highlight the pies and grab viewer's attention since these are the largest elements on the poster.
This is one of the most challenging and satisfying pieces I've worked on, made entirely of type, the assignment was to create a typographic piece based on a line from the novel Alice in Wonderland. I chose to do the line where Alice falls down the rabbit hole and wanted to make the piece feel like she was really falling, which is why it is a bit blurred. I wanted the "rabbit hole" to come to life and seem as if it was swallowing her whole. Ideally, I would love to use this piece on a poster.
This is world bank currency that I created, based around the theme of famous ships around the world and throughout history. I wanted to use really vibrant colors that I felt would attract people more towards the bills. In incorporating all of the necessary elements, I wanted the bills to be cleanly-designed but also have an element of prestige, since they are for the world bank!
I created this logo to be used for the school's 60th anniversary year. I wanted to incorporate the school's shield from their regular logo into this logo, so I incorporated it into the 60. The logo will be used on t-shirts, stationary, social media, the website, and other school notes for the year to commemorate their 60th anniversary.
This CD cover was created for Coldplay's most recent album, "Ghost Stories". This is how I interpreted the title and created the CD cover and back. I chose to use a "ghost ship" sailing in front of a moon on the front because when I hear the title "ghost stories", I think of darkness, a ghost ship, and telling stories around the campfire as a kid. I brought those ideas to life on this album cover with incorporating the ship against a black background. I really wanted to bring that dark and mysterious feel to life on this to go with the title.

In the world of work, speaking up and speaking with others is a dangerous enterprise. Do it well, and we build a solid web of connections. Do it badly, we risk our relationships, our reputation, and our reach.
What is now required of leaders, in such an uncertain landscape, is the ability to be REAL. To own our own feelings while simultaneously and continuously seeking to understand the feelings of others. Being REAL is the essence of calm and composure.
I show senior executives how to lead in the moments that matter. With a warm heart, a cool head, and safe hands. You'll double your influence, triple your impact and become the leader they turn to, not run from.

The Disaster Emergency Services (DES) Committee was developed to assist local communities in coping with disasters. One of its chief activities is the SEAONC volunteer program, which is coordinated with the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) and SEAOC. This program includes damage simulation workshops and assistance to CalOES and local building officials after local and distant damaging earthquakes.
In addition, DES is in charge of updating the computer data base used to contact volunteer inspectors in the event of an emergency. It matches the experience and expertise of the volunteers with the type and extent of damage to be assessed.
Urban Search and Rescue Program (USAR)
SEAONC / CalOES Volunteer Reserve Corps Program
Building Occupancy Resumption Program (BORP)
Urban Search and Rescue Program (USAR)
Under the coordination and management of the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) Urban Search and Rescue Program, the eight California USAR Task Forces are part of a nationwide response system, sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Complicated Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) most often occurs in buildings that are fully or partially collapsed and very dangerous. These buildings will normally be multi-storied structures containing heavy debris with a high potential for additional collapse. The US&R team with specialists trained in search, rescue, and medical care will need to work in this dangerous environment. Engineers, trained and experienced in damaged building evaluation, help to reduce (or at least better define) the risk to these teams and to victims. In order to function effectively, these engineers must also be well prepared to make difficult value judgments in an environment that is very different from the orderly, design office. By contrast, the search, rescue, and medical members of the team are asked to make rapid, high-pressure decisions as a normal part of their occupation.
In 1990, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) established the National Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Response System, which included the formation of integrated disaster response task forces. Currently, there are 28 FEMA US&R Task Forces spread throughout the continental United States. Eight of these Task Forces are located within California, including two in the San Francisco Bay Area. Designed for heavy search and rescue in the event of large-scale disasters such as structural collapse in an earthquake, these Task Forces are comprised of firefighters and civilians with diverse backgrounds and specialty training.
When mobilized, each Task Force is comprised of 62 specialists that include physicians, structural engineers, heavy equipment operators, communications experts, hazardous materials specialists, rescue firefighters, search dog handlers and logistics specialists. By design, there are two Task Force members assigned to each position for the rotation and relief of personnel allowing for round-the-clock task force operations. In addition, Task Forces are capable of operating totally self-sufficient for the first 72 hours of deployment.

When earthquake disaster strikes a community, there is an immediate need for damage inspections. The Structural Engineer's Association of Northern California has teamed with the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) to recruit, train, and maintain a group of licensed engineers who are ready to respond following a major earthquake to assess the safety of building structures. There are currently approximately 278 SEAONC members who are registered as Volunteer Safety Assessment Engineers. To activate such a large pool of volunteers, the SEAONC DES-ATC 20 Subcommittee has created an e-mail communication network in order to provide rapid response to the affected communities.
The SEAONC DES-Volunteer Reserve Corps Subcommittee also organizes training for qualified engineers on the ATC-20 Procedures for Post-Earthquake Safety Evaluation of Buildings, which includes rapid and detailed evaluation procedures for inspecting buildings and posting them as "inspected" (apparently safe), "limited entry" or "unsafe".
The primary purpose of the SEAONC/CalOES Volunteer Reserve Corps email list is to determine, as quickly as possible, the number of Safety Assessment Engineers available to volunteer following a major earthquake in California, or elsewhere in the United States. The Reserve Corps list also serves as a means of communication between organizers and volunteers to discuss deployment issues such as transportation and lodging.
The Reserve Corps email list has replaced the antiquated phone tree due to its ability to instantly contact volunteers from a central pool of email addresses, without having to depend on multiple levels of volunteers to spread information through changing lists of phone numbers.
Upon receipt of a request for volunteers from CalOES, the DES committee leadership will activate the Reserve Corps list, which will send an email to each registered Safety Assessment Engineer with details of the potential deployment. Those available for deployment shall respond via phone or email as directed in the message, as soon as possible. In addition to generating an email announcement, a notification will also be posted on the main SEAONC webpage for volunteers unable to check their email regularly.
Registered CalOES Safety Assessment Engineers must be sure that they have a valid email address on file with SEAONC and with the DES committee, and to confirm that email@example.com is added to any spam-blocking "white list" that may prevent delivery of Reserve Corps notification emails.

Building Occupancy Resumption Program (BORP)
This award-winning DBI program allows San Francisco building owners to precertify private post-earthquake inspection of their buildings by qualified engineers upon acceptance of a written inspection program. The SEAONC DES-BORP Subcommittee supports the program by reviewing the inspection plans on volunteer time.
After a major earthquake involving damage to San Francisco buildings, it is important that local buildings can be inspected and reoccupied and that business can resume operations as soon as it is safely possible. The purpose of a precertified emergency inspection program is to allow a quick and thorough evaluation of possible damage to a structure by qualified persons familiar with the structural design and life-safety systems of the building. This private emergency inspection could facilitate rapid decisions regarding the closure or reoccupancy of building areas. Prearranged emergency inspection could reduce inspection delays, as the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) and volunteer inspectors will be utilizing standard emergency inspection and posting procedures with priorities geared toward public safety rather than expeditious business resumption. Some building owners may wish to develop programs of private inspection for their buildings to permit rapid, individualized emergency response.
The Building Occupancy Resumption Program (BORP) is an award-winning program of the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, developed in cooperation with SEAONC, BOMA, and AIA. BORP allows building owners to precertify private post-earthquake inspection of their buildings by qualified licensed engineers upon acceptance of a written inspection program. The BORP subcommittee reviews and recommends approval of written inspection programs; develops BORP guidelines, training programs, and other informative materials; and promotes BORP participation through seminars and newsletter articles.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Patrick Reed survived a couple of late bogeys to clinch a one-stroke victory at The Barclays on Sunday.
Reed carded a closing 70 to finish on nine-under 275 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale on New York's Long Island.
Fellow American Sean O'Hair (66) and Argentine Emiliano Grillo (69) were joint second on eight-under.
With his fifth victory on the PGA Tour, Reed secured a spot on the United States team for next month's Ryder Cup.
He also vaulted to the top of the FedExCup points list after the first of the four playoff events.
Reed was delighted with his win but acknowledged his game needed work after he recorded bogeys at the 16th and 18th holes.
"I have worked pretty hard with my coach for the past couple of weeks," the 26-year-old said in a greenside interview.
"The game shows I'm moving in the right direction but there are some things I need to work on. As the pressure started building I started going back to my old pattern, hit some shots left."

Their hope lies in the creation of a system of transfrontier conservation areas between SA, Mozambique and Swaziland, which will include the creation of a corridor that will allow the long-separated elephants to meet up again and resume at least part of their old migratory routes.
Known as the Tembe elephants, many were killed or maimed as they got caught up in the escalating conflict that started with Mozambique's anticolonial struggle in the 1960s and its subsequent civil war.
Before that they were able to roam, in relative safety, a vast and sparsely populated area.
As the war escalated, some found a measure of protection in the Maputo Park. Others sought refuge in a rare and ecologically precious sand forest on the SA side of the border, which was proclaimed in 1983 as the Tembe Elephant Park and fenced off on the three southern sides for the mutual protection of the elephants, the forest and the surrounding communities.
Initially, Tembe's northern border was left open. But in 1989, the border was sealed off to discourage poaching.
Since then, the two groups have lived separately from each other. Those daring to cross the divide or those caught in-between have paid a heavy price.
Wayne Matthews, KwaZulu Natal's ecologist for the Maputaland region, speaks painfully of the killing and wounding of the animals before the northern border was sealed off.
In earlier times, he says, the animals had the relative freedom of a large and richly diverse terrain. "Then came the war and everything changed. There might have been some killing for meat. But, as we know, the ivory trade played no mean part in financing arms procurement.
"There were unintended injuries, too, like elephants stepping on land mines. Some got their trunks cut off by snares. Many carried bullet wounds from simply being shot at, sometimes willfully and in other instances probably to scare them off."
He says the elephants would have moved in and out of Tembe Park's sand forest as part of their old migrations. But human attrition would have caused them later to seek refuge in the dense vegetation.
"Those that fled here tended, at first, to be aggressive and unpredictable. To keep them and the surrounding communities safe, we had to fence them in. It was so bad, we had to make it a capital offence for any of our elephants to break out.
"We needed to maintain the integrity of the fence. The same did not apply to elephants breaking in. But now our elephants have generally calmed down and are less shy of humans."
The proposed transfrontier arrangement, which the countries hope to complete within three years, involves five separate conservation areas spanning their respective borders. But the one aimed at improving the lot of the Tembe elephant is by far the biggest and most ambitious.
It will see the creation of a fenced-off corridor of about 50km long and 20km wide to link the 78 000 ha Maputo Park with the 30 OOO ha Tembe Park.
This should allow safe passage to the approximately 250 elephants of Maputo and the 200 or so of Tembe to resume old acquaintances.
Matthews says the creation of the transfrontier park will not only be good for the elephants, but also for Tembe's habitat, by allowing them a broader roaming range rather than just circling the same area.
Meanwhile, the transfrontier development could be further boosted by park developments on the SA side of the border, giving rise to optimism among ecotourism operators that it will bring new economic life to their exquisitely beautiful but largely poor region.

Defend Against Cross-site Scripting Attacks
By Don Kiely
The HtmlEncode and UrlEncode methods of the HttpServerUtility class in the System.Web namespace have long provided a first line of defense against cross-site scripting attacks. These are the kinds of attacks where someone puts scripting code into an input box on a Web page that includes script. A simple example is to enter this literal text into a text box that prompts for a person s first name:
<script>alert("Ha ha! We've attacked your site!")</script>
When you redirect to another page and display what you thought was the person s first name, an alert box pops up with nefarious text. This is a simple and trivial example of cross-site scripting. If you create Web pages, you should be well aware of this kind of attack and know how to protect against it. Google cross-site scripting for lots of good information.
The HtmlEncode and UrlEncode methods provide protection by converting known bad characters in a string of text to either the &#DECIMAL; or single and double byte notations, respectively. Encoding the characters this way keeps the browser from interpreting it as script. When you pass the <script> code above through these methods, you get these results:
<script>alert("Ha ha! We've attacked your site!")</script>
These methods take a known bad approach to protecting against attacks. The idea is that there are certain characters that are known to be a problem in these kinds of attacks, notably these characters: <, >, &, , and characters with ASCII values of 160-255, inclusive. As long as you encode those characters, you should be safe or so goes the concept.
The key word in the previous sentence is should. You should be safe as long as an attacker doesn t come up with a way to attack your Web site using other characters. Unfortunately, that s exactly what has been happening lately, making the .NET encoding methods less useful. So Microsoft has shifted away from a known bad strategy to a known good strategy, with its new Anti-CrossSite Scripting Library. The idea is that you shouldn t eliminate only the characters that you know are bad, because that list changes all the time. Instead, leave alone only the characters that you know are okay.
So the functions in the library encode all characters other than the following, providing the same HtmlEncode and UrlEncode methods as in the .NET Framework:
- a to z
- A to Z
- 0 to 9
- , (Comma)
- . (Period)
- - (Dash)
- _ (Underscore)
- Space (only in the UrlEncode function)
When you run the <script> code above through these new methods, here is what you get:
<script>alert("Ha ha! We've attacked your site!")</script>
As you can see, far less of the original text remains in its character format, meaning that less of the text could be considered executable by the browser. This isn t exactly a monumental change, and the code in the library is quite simple. However, it results in far less of an opportunity for cross-site scripting attacks to succeed.
One difference in the AntiXSSLibrary versions of the HtmlEncode and UrlEncode functions is that they each only have a single overload. The .NET Framework versions have an overloaded form to take both a string and TextWriter object. This overload returns the resulting output to the specified output stream. While you can easily code around this to use the AntiXSSLibrary versions, it could break some code so be careful if you use the new functions in existing applications.
This initial release contains the binaries for versions 1.x and 2.0 of the .NET Framework. You can download the library here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9A2B9C92-7AD9-496C-9A89-AF08DE2E5982&displaylang=en).

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) —Former University of Kentucky jumper Dwight Phillips drew the biggest ovation of the night Saturday at the U.S. championships when he leapt 28 feet, 1½ inches in the long jump on his second attempt.
That jump was good enough to win gold and banish some personal demons at Hayward Field.
The 2004 Olympic gold medalist endured an injury-riddled 2008 and missed out on a trip to Beijing in this stadium.
"It's always frustrating when, most of my career I've made every team I've tried out for," he said. "Not to make the Olympic team was very disappointing ... I'm not looking back."
Phillips is quickly rounding back into form.
Earlier this month at the Prefontaine Classic, Phillips jumped 28-8¼, marking the longest jump in the world since 1991.
■ Lexington native Dana Pounds-Lyon finished fifth in the javelin with a throw of 179 feet, 8 inches.

Eddie Murphy Returns To The Big Screen With Ben Stiller
Eddie Murphy is set to return to the big screen in what seems poised to be his best live-action comedy since Norbit, which wasn't all that funny. While keeping busy with Shrek films, we've been waiting for the man to return to his adult audience in a major way, and it seems he may finally have done that with Tower Heist. Featuring an all-star cast of Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, Tea Leoni, and Gabourey Sidibe and some of you were convinced she'd never work again, the film is all about a group of hard workers who find out that they've been swindled out of their retirement funds in a ponzi scheme (shots fired at Bernie Madoff) and go seeking revenge.
Murph himself plays a criminal who is bailed out by Stiller to help the working stiffs figure out how to best go about robbing their billionaire boss (put on house arrest as he stands trial for the ponzi scheme) to get their money back. Are we looking at a possible love scene between Murphy and Sidibe? Check out the trailer, it seems to suggest a little romance.
Tower Heist is directed by Brett Ratner and will hit theaters November 4.

Back Home Queen Annes County Maryland Md - A-Z Directory ("A"= Attorney "C"= Church "R"= Restaurant) Add Your Business
Consider what two imperfect men said of the same perfect man.
Luke 23
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
Is Christ to you the one you yell at and try to coerce to act on your behalf to prove Himself to you, or do you accept that he was a sinless man, God in the Flesh, and is an instrument of Love, self-sacrifice, and reconciliation.
When you consider the cross itself and what Jesus did on behalf of mankind. Do you see a judge or a vengeful God? Or do you see Mercy and Long Suffering, and a road to peace.
Did Christ come to the world to condemn it? Or did he come to save it?
Does he have power or does he not?
Can you know Him, or can't you?
Must he prove Himself to you? Or has he already done enough to prove Himself?
Was Christ a man evolved from an ape? Or is Christ the perfect Created man who has power over Nature itself?
Is God condemnation? Or is God Love?
If you were on a cross next to Jesus, being crucified...
Which thief would you be?

Ladies one step from cup final hat-trick
07 March 2016|Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs Ladies produced arguably their best win of the season to progress into the semi-final of the FA Women's Premier League Cup on Sunday.
They recovered quickly from last week's heartbreaking late FA Cup loss to WSL 2 side Aston Villa to inflict a rare defeat on Brighton - the team currently top of the FAWPL South by nine points - in the quarter-final at Brimsdown Rovers FC.
With key players sidelined, this was the acid test for Spurs but they came through with flying colours as Lucia Leon struck the only goal of the game with only three minutes remaining to set up a semi-final date against Nottingham Forest. That tie will be played at Basford United FC in Nottingham on Sunday week, March 20.
"This win was so important after what happened against Villa in the FA Cup," said manager Karen Hills. "That was our first defeat in 2016 and it was key to bounce back straight away.
"We had a number of players out - Avilla Bergin, Bianca Baptiste, Leah Rawle, Katie O'Leary, Mia Vio and Josie Green - but the team was so resilient, you could see how much it meant to them."
It's a big week for the ladies - they follow that quarter-final win with a FAWPL game against West Ham at Upton Park tomorrow night (Tuesday, March 8, 7.45pm). Look out for Karen's preview tomorrow.

Following last week's disappointment against Aston Villa, which saw Karen Hills' side fall short for the first time in cup competitions this season, they bounced back superbly with a hard fought 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion to reach the semi-finals of the FA Women's Premier League Cup.
Spurs started the better of the two sides. Riana Soobadoo's pressure allowed Wendy Martin to break away on goal, though with just Brighton's Leah Samain to beat, she placed her effort wide. Despite the bright start, the visitors began to get a foothold on the game but couldn't find a way past Jenna Schillaci and Alex Keown in the centre of Spurs' defence.
Minutes later, Soobadoo won back possession again and slipped a pass into the path of Ronnell Humes, who forced a stretching save from the busy Samain. At the other end Lucy Somes saw her half-volleyed attempt blocked by Keown.
Toni-Anne Wayne was largely a bystander in the Spurs goal for the opening half-hour but when Hollie Olding played a cutting pass through to Charley Boswell, she made a fine block. With the half coming to a close, Samian was kept busy as she made a great double stop. First Sophie McLean on the edge of the area saw her swerving effort denied before Martin following up from inside the six-yard box was also kept out.
Somes was again denied by the brilliant Keown who made a vital clearance from just outside the area before Martin broke into the box and her effort beat Samain but zipped across the face of goal.
With Spurs continuing to knock at the door for the opening goal, and with Soobadoo controlling the game in the middle of the park with Shannon Moloney, Martin fired within inches of giving the hosts a deserved lead. Somes then reciprocated a chance for Gurr, who fired past the upright, just as the conditions continued to worsen.
With extra-time looming, Tottenham took the lead after 87 minutes. Keown floated in a free-kick from half way inside the visitors half and the ball bobbled through to Lucia Leon, who made no mistake from close range as she clinically rolled her effort into the far corner.
Spurs Ladies: Toni Anne-Wayne, Mollie Kmita, Alex Keown, Jenna Schillaci (c), Rosie Kmita, Shannon Moloney (Amy Cooper 81), Sophie McLean, Lucia Leon, Shannon Moloney, Riana Soobadoo, Wendy Martin, Ronnell Humes (Kelley Blanchflower 70). Substitutes (not used): Chloe Morgan, Ertha Pond.
Player of the match - Lucia Leon.

EABL CEO Charles Ireland (right) and finance director Tracey Barnes at a past press briefing.
The Director of Immigration, Ministry of Interior and coordination of National Government,
Dear Sir,
Iam an employee who left East African Breweries last year and I felt that it was very important for immigration to know the frustrations the staff in particular and EABL in general have been going through because of the Group Finance Director called Tracy Barnes.
We have not met the targets for 2 years because of the unreasonable targets set by the group finance director. The targets are not only unrealistic and unachievable but purely meant to frustrate employees so that they are sacked and replaced with whites and that is exactly what has been happening.
It is very bad for Kenyans to be frustrated in their own soil by a foreigner yet we have a solid Government with a strong immigration department which is supposed to protect its citizens.
The Jubilee Government promised 500,000 jobs per year yet it is watching when over 100 employees lost their jobs in EABL because of this racial woman who said EABL was dominated by one tribe – KIKUYU and she vowed to dismantle them which she has successfully done within two years of her stay here.
