Almost fifty years ago, America's industrial cities—Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Baltimore, and others—began shedding people and jobs. Today they are littered with tens of thousands of abandoned houses, shuttered factories, and vacant lots. With population and housing losses continuing since the 2007 financial crisis, the future of neighborhoods in these places is precarious. How we will rebuild shrinking cities and what urban design vision will guide their future remain contentious and unknown.
The emergence of transnational social movements as major actors in international politics - as witnessed in Seattle in 1999 and elsewhere - has sent shockwaves through the international system. Many questions have arisen about the legitimacy, coherence and efficiency of the international order in the light of the challenges posed by social movements. This book offers a fundamental critique of twentieth-century international law from the perspective of Third World social movements.
Complexity, division, mistrust, and "process paralysis" can thwart leaders and others when they tackle local challenges. In Democracy as Problem Solving, Xavier de Souza Briggs shows how civic capacity—the capacity to create and sustain smart collective action—can be developed and used. In an era of sharp debate over the conditions under which democracy can develop while broadening participation and building community, Briggs argues that understanding and building civic capacity is crucial for strengthening governance and changing the state of the world in the process.
Moving to Opportunity tackles one of America's most enduring dilemmas: the great, unresolved question of how to overcome persistent ghetto poverty. Launched in 1994, the MTO program took a largely untested approach: helping families move from high-poverty, inner-city public housing to low-poverty neighborhoods, some in the suburbs.
Economic Development Finance is a comprehensive and in-depth presentation of private, public, and community financial institutions, policies and methods for financing local and regional economic development projects. The treatment of policies and program models emphasizes their applications and impact, key design and management issues, and best practices.
J. Phillip Thompson III, an insider in the Dinkins administration, provides the first in-depth look at how the black mayors of America's major cities achieve social change. Black constituents naturally look to black mayors to effect great change for the poor, but the reality of the situation is complicated. Thompson argues that African-American mayors, legislators, and political activists need to more effectively challenge opinions and public policies supported by the white public and encourage greater political inclusion and open political discourse within black communities.
Since the large-scale manufacture of personal timepieces began, industry leadership has shifted among widely disparate locations, production systems, and cultures. This book recounts the story of the quest for supremacy in the manufacture of watches--from the cottage industries of Britain; to the preeminence of Switzerland and, later, the United States; to the high-tech plants of Japan and the sweatshops of Hong Kong.
Through an analysis of national data and detailed case studies, From Combines to Computers examines how the transition to a service economy is playing out for rural America. It answers two important questions: Will services fill the gap left by lost farming, manufacturing, and mining jobs? And will services stabilize, even revitalize, rural areas?
Persistant poverty has long been one of America's most pressing and intractable problems. According to some estimates, by 2003, almost twenty-five percent of the America's countries had per-capita incomes below one half the national average, high unemployment, low labour force participation rates, and a high dependency on government transfer payments - all measures of economic distress.

Abstract: The concentrations of sixteen individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the samples of soils, corn roots and corn leaves around three different oil sludges in Zhongyuan Oil Field were investigated. The contents of PAHs in the soil samples from high to low were the Third Wenming oil sludges (3W) > the Third Mazhai oil sludges (3M)> the Fourth Wen'er oil sludges (4W), and the PAHs with 2--4 rings were the most predominant components of PAHs in the soil samples. The contents of PAHs in the corn root samples from high to low were 3W > 3M > 4W, and the PAHs with 2--4 rings were the most predominant components of PAHs in the corn root samples, which were consistent with those in the soil samples. The contents of PAHs in the corn leaf samples from high to low were 3W> 4W > 3M, which were inconsistent with those of the soils and corn root samples. And the PAHs with 5--6 rings were the most predominant components of PAHs in the corn leaf samples.
Key Words: soil of oil field; corn; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)which mainly come into being in the incomplete combustion of organic compounds are teratogenic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic, so they have been listed by many countries into the black or gray list about the first-controlled pollutants, where there have been sixteen matters regarded as first-controlled organic pollutants by American Environmental Protection Agency (AEPA) and seven by China (United Nations Environment Programme, http://www.chem.unep.ch/gmn/default.htm, 2008; Blasco et al, 2006; Baran et al, 2004; Oleszczuk and Baran, 2005). PAHs have low water-solubility and hydrophobic property, and they can intensively diffuse in the non water phase, being adsorbed on the granules, so the soils become one of their primary environmental habitations. The residual PAHs in the soils not only influence the normal functions of the soils and decrease their environmental qualities, but also gather gradually in both animals and plants after entering the cropland ecosystem. And they even enter human bodies through food chains, which cause serious harm to human health and lives (Huang and Wei, 2003).
Presently, a great deal of researches about the PAHs in soils and plants have been carried out at home and abroad, and the main focuses are as follows: the contents and sources of the PAHs in the soils, distribution and migration, the relation between their physicochemical properties and behaviors in the soils, the relation between the environment factors and their behaviors, risk assessment and management; the mechanism of PAHs being adsorbed by plants, the influence factors, remediation of soils polluted by PAHs and so on. However, the researches about PAHs in the soils and plants around oily sludges are relatively less(Ling et al, 2005, 2006; Ge et al, 2005; Zhang et al, 2005; Ding et al, 2004; Zhan et al, 2003; Tao et al, 2003; Liste and Alexander, 2000; Menzies et al, 1992). In our research, the agricultural soils and corns planted in them around Zhongyuan Oil Field were chosen to be studied. In order to carry out the pollution prevention and sound distribution of regional agriculture production, the distribution of PAHs excellently controlled by EPA in the agricultural soils, the corn roots and the corn leaves were analyzed, and the main factors which influenced their distribution were discussed.
Samples Collection
According to the local monsoon feature, the soils and corns samples were collected from the agricultural soils and the corns planted in them which were respectively 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 m away from the oil sludges on July 24th and 28th, 2007, and the oil sludges included the Third Wenming oil sludges (3W), the Third Mazhai oil sludges (3M) and the Fourth Wen'er oil sludges (4W), which were all located in Zhongyuan Oil Field. The basic conditions and numbers of the samples were displayed in Table 1.
Samples Treatment
The soil samples were immediately air-dried in the shade after being collected, grinded and sieved into a particle size of 60 meshes. After being sieved, they were placed into the polyvinyl chloride bags, sealed and stored at room temperature. In the process of the soil samples being grinded, they were grinded in the order of being from farnes to nearness according to their distances from the oil sludgea, thus preventing the cross-infection among them. The corn samples collected were cut up, frozen by Freeze-Dryer, and grinded by agate mortar. And then they were placed into the brown jar, frozen and stored at low-temperature, waiting to be analysed.
The instruments which were used in the research included High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC, Shimadzu, Japan), Fluorescence Detector, VP-ODS Separating Column (Serial No. 9122504, 150L×4.6), Ultrasonic Washer (KQ5200, Kun Shan in China), Rotary Evaporator (Shen Sheng SENCO-R, China), Thermostat Waterbath (Shen Sheng W201B, China), Low-speed Tabletop Centrifuge (TDL-40B, Shanghai), Multipurpose Water-cycling Vacuum Pump (SHB-Ⅲ, Zheng Zhou in China) and High-speed Mixing Instrument (Chang Zhou, China).
The reagents which were used in the research included dchloromethane, cyclohexane, methanol, acetonitrile, silica, and anhydrous sodium sulfate. Among them, dchloromethane, cyclohexane and methanol were all analytically pure, and acetonitrile was chromatographically pure. Methanol needed to be distilled before being used. Silica was used in the stratographic analysis, which demanded that its diameter should be 0.15~0.074 mm and it should be activated for 16h at 130℃ before being used. Anhydrous sodium sulfate was heated for 2h at 500℃, and was placed into the glass container to be sealed and stored after being cooled to be the room temperature. The standard matters of PAHs were sixteen first-detectioned mixed samples of PAHs in accordance with USEPA Method 610, which were bought from Supelco Corporation of America.
Extraction, Purification and Determination of PAHs
(1) The extraction, concentration and purification of PAHs. 5.00 g of samples were measured by analytical balance and put into the centrifuge bottle of 100 mL, and then 20.00 mL of dichloromethane were added. After the samples were put into the dichloromethane, they were kept in the ultrasonic washer of 40 °C for 2 h, and then were transferred into the centrifugal vacuum pump of 2000 r/min, and were kept for 5 min. 10.00 mL of supernatant were moved into the egg yard type bottle, and all the liquids were dried by rotary evaporator at 40 °C. After that, the resulting residues were dissolved in 2.00 mL of cyclohexane, and 0.50 mL of the solution were put on the silicamini column packed with 1.0 g of silica gel. The column was eluted with methylene chloride/hexane (v/v=1:1), and the eluate was discarded with 1.00mL. The second fraction of 2.00mL containing PAHs was collected and blown to be dry by nitrogen. The residues were redissolved in 1mL of acetonitrile and stored at 4 °C.
(2) Determination of PAHs. Chromatographic Conditions: HPLC, Fluorescence Detector, VP-ODS Separating Column; acetonitril-water (9:1) solution being as the mobile phase, with flow rate of 0.5 mL/min; the column temperature being 30 °C. Chromatographic Determination: the samples concentrated solution and standard mixed solution which had the same volume were extracted respectively, and they were determined by external standard method.
The qualitative analysis was carried out by the compare of the retention time of PAHs standard compounds, while the quantitative analysis was done by the determination of PAHs with external standard method. The analytical work included blank analysis, the standard samples being added to the substrates, parallel analysis and iterative determination of the samples. The recovery of standard samples being added to the substrates was 47.5%-103.4%, and the relative standard deviation was 5.8%-9.7%. In addition, analysis of the principal components was conducted with SPSS1 1.0. Kinds and contents of PAHs in samples were displayed in Table 2.
Distribution Characteristics of PAHs in Aagricultural Soil
Total contents of sixteen PAHs are usually used to evaluate the pollution level in the researches (Wu et al, 2003; Zeng and Vista, 1997). The PAH contents in soil samples around three different oil sludges are listed in Table 2. The results indicate that all the sixteen PAHs can be detected in soil samples. The contents of PAHs in soil samples of 3M, 3W and 4W are 246.6-1994.8 ng/g, 238.5-2047.5ng/g and 215.1-1543.2ng/g, respectively, so the order of pollution degree of the soils around the three oil sludges is 3W>3M>4W. The contents of PAHs in soil samples are correlative with the distances from oily sludges, and the contents are drastically decreasing with the increase of the distance from the oil sludges (Fig 1). The toxicity and cancer-causing function are different, because of the difference among the structures of PAHs. The research shows that PAHs of Low ring (2-and 3- ring) exhibit strong and acute toxicity comparatively, while PAHs of High ring (4- and more ring) have "three causing" function to many living creatures. Concentrations of PAHs with various rings in soil samples are listed in Fig 2, which show that PAHs of 2-4 rings are the most predominant components of PAHs in the soil around the Oil Field. The analysis results of the soil samples around the Oil Field in winter show that the PAHs contents of the soil samples of 3M, 3W and 4W are 499.9~2241.3ng/g, 578.1~2408.8ng/g and 434.5~1822.0ng/g respectively, which are much higher than those of the soils in the summer (Kuang et al, 2008). The result is related with the corns growing in the soils in summer. Not only do the corns absorb the PAHs in the soils, but their roots offer the surface for the growing of microbes and change the soil environment (e.g. oxidation and reduction, humidity, ventilation, etc. ) to degrade PAHs. Xu et al (2006) in his research found that the corns could absorb and gather phenanthrene and pyrene of the polluted soils, and the quantities increaseed with the increase of their contents.Yoshitomi also found that the corn roots could bring on the growth of microbes and degradation of pyrene (Yoshitomi and Shann, 2001). In addition, the air temperature in summer is higher than that in winter, and it is easier to evaporate and degrade for PAHs of low molecular weight, therefore, the contents of PAHs detected in the soil samples in summer are much lower.
Distribution Characteristics of PAHs in Corn Roots
The results (Table 2) indicate that all the sixteen PAHs can be detected in corn root samples. The contents of PAHs in corn root samples of 3M, 3W and 4W are 117.38-605.76ng/g, 112.32-637.93ng/g and 103.14-465.13ng/g respectively, so the order of PAHs contents in corn root samples is 3W>3M>4W, which is consistent with that in the soils around the three oil sludges. The regression analysis of the contents of PAHs in the soils and the corn roots around oil sludges indicates that they have good linear relationship with a correlation coefficient of 0.9628, and they present remarkable positive correlation, which illustrates that the PAHs contents in soils around the three oil sludges influence the absorption of PAHs in the corn roots. Concentrations of PAHs with various rings in corn root samples are listed in Fig 3, which shows that PAHs of 2-4 rings are the most predominant components of PAHs in the corn roots around the Oil Field, which are consistent with the characteristics of PAHs contents in soils around the three oil sludges.
Distribution Characteristics of PAHs in Corn Leaves
The contents of PAHs in corn leaf samples of 3M, 3W and 4W are 124.43-1025.43ng/g, 128.43-1121.43ng/g and 121.43-1069.43ng/g respectively (Table 2). The order of PAHs contents in corn leaf samples is 3W>4W>3M, which is inconsistent with that in soils around the three oil sludges. Concentrations of PAHs with various rings in corn leaf samples are listed in Fig 4, which shows that PAHs of 5-6 rings are the most predominant in all the PAHs in corn leaves around Oil Field, which are inconsistent with the characteristics of PAHs contents in soils and corn roots around the three oil sludges. The reason is that PAHs in the corn leaves mainly originate from atmosphere, and different PAHs have different volatilities, which lead to that the presence modality and mutual transformation characteristics of different PAHs are greatly different (Dong et al, 1999). Generally, gaseity is the main existing form of PAHs with 2-3 rings, the allocation of 4-ringed PAHs in the gaseity and granules is balanced, and PAHs with 5 and more rings mainly exist in the granules(Halsall and Coleman, 1994). The corn leaves are narrow and long, and full of pilosity, which make them have large contact with the atmosphere. During the long time of the atmosphere granules being absorbed by PAHs, the PAHs with little rings can return the atmosphere again, so the PAHs with 5-6 rings are the most predominant components of PAHs in the corn leaves.
(1) The contents of PAHs in soil samples of 3M, 3W and 4W are 246.6-1994.8ng/g, 238.5-2047.5ng/g and 215.1-1543.2ng/g respectively. It can be seen from the regional distribution that the contents of PAHs in soils around Zhongyuan Oil Field are correlative with the distances from the oil sludges, and the contents are drastically decreasing with the increase of the distance from the oil sludges.
(2) The contents of PAHs in corn root samples of 3M, 3W and 4W are 117.38-605.76ng/g, 112.32-637.93ng/g and 103.14-465.13ng/g respectively. They are closely related with the contents of PAHs in soils around the oil sludges.
(3) The contents of PAHs in corn leaf samples of 3M, 3W and 4W are 124.43-1025.43ng/g, 128.43-1121.43ng/g and 121.43-1069.43ng/g respectively. Influenced by the structures of the corn leaves, the PAHs with 5-6 rings are the most predominant components of PAHs in the corn leaves around oil sludges, and the characteristics of their contents are different from those in soils and the corn roots around the three oil sludges.

JDBC : Connection to databases
What is JDBC?
JDBC is an API that encapsulates the low−level calls needed for database access and interaction into one common interface. Both the Java Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) contain the API as part of the standard distribution. The API's interfaces and classes reside in the java.sql and javax.sql packages. The standard components are packaged in java.sql while the enterprise elements are in javax.sql.
Steps for building a simple JDBC application
1. Import Packages
2. Register JDBC Driver
3. Open a Connection
4. Execute a Query
5. Extract data from Result Set
6. Clean-Up Environment
A Simple Program to demonstrate the JDBC application working:
This is a simple program that retrieves and displays the values of particular columns from the Employees table stored in the database.
//STEP 1. Import packages import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.Statement; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.Date; import java.sql.SQLException; public class FirstQuery { public static void main(String[] args) { Connection conn = null; //Define Connection variable try{ //Begin standard error handling //STEP 2: Register JDBC driver String driver = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"; //for oracle database Class.forName(driver); //STEP 3: Open a connection System.out.println("Connecting to database..."); String jdbcUrl = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE"; /* this url will be different for the different databases */ String user = "username"; String password = "password"; conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl,user,password); //STEP 4: Execute a query Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); String sql; sql = "SELECT SSN, Name, Salary, Hiredate FROM Employees"; ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); //STEP 5: Extract data from result set while(rs.next()){ //Retrieve by column name int ssn= rs.getInt("ssn"); String name = rs.getString("name"); //Retrieve by column index as an example double salary = rs.getDouble(3); Date date = rs.getDate(4); //Display values System.out.print("SSN: " + ssn); System.out.print(", Name: " + name); System.out.print(", Salary: $" + salary); System.out.println(", HireDate: " + date); } //STEP 6: Clean−up environment rs.close(); stmt.close(); conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ //Handle errors for JDBC se.printStackTrace(); }catch(Exception e){ //Handle errors for Class.forName e.printStackTrace(); }finally{ //finally block used to close resources try{ if(conn!=null) conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ se.printStackTrace(); } } System.out.println("Finished!"); } //end of main }
The Expected Output after you have created the databse with some values of these columns:
Connecting to database...
SSN: 111111111, Name: Harish, Salary: $5000.55, HireDate: 2010−09−16
SSN: 419876541, Name: Vikas, Salary: $1500.75, HireDate: 2011−03−05
SSN: 312654987, Name: Aman, Salary: $2000.95, HireDate: 2012−01−11
SSN: 123456789, Name: Sumit, Salary: $3080.05, HireDate: 2009−09−07
SSN: 987654321, Name: John, Salary: $4351.27, HireDate: 2011−12−31
The values that you will store in the databse will be shown.
This was just a simple demonstration program to just give some idea about the JDBC connectivity.
In the later posts, the more detailed and programs for entering the data in the databse, updating and creating the database using either Statement or preparedStatement objects.

Whats with the new look???
In the last year I've noticed a trend.... The trend is that all these big corporations with websites are changing/redoing their websites.
They are changing their websites that use to be so practical and easy to follow, into these new retarded looking things.
TD Canada trust; Easy Web banking.
It use to be a very clean easy to navigate website. The shading of the website was perfect to the TD brand image. Now it's this giant white blob shit with green in between to fill the cracks.
Before the site was more intuitive. It still is now, however the feel of the site is not as "tight" as it was before. It was alot easier to navigate.
ScotiaBank online banking:
What the ****? What a disaster this is. This is the most retarded design I have ever seen in my life. They went from a great looking website that was super easy to navigate and understand. And now the site is a giant white blob with no character and some red spots in between to show off that ScotiaBank is red. On top of that the online banking itself has become a stupid mess.
I am so mad at google right now. **** you google. I loved Gmail, but now with these new look I am pretty pissed off. I don't ****ing understand how you take something so good and **** it up. Google has followed suit with these other mega corps. A big white BLOB ****ing mess.
The worst thing about the new google thing is that theyve relabeled all the buttons to be pictures without text. So now I have to scan the pictures to figure out which each one does.... Okay not that fcuking complicated, but still its stupid. I am not 5 years old. I want practicality not retardedness.
The biggest tthing that pisssed me off about gmail and google is that they made the stupid emails have NO CONTRAST. So I have no ****ing idea which email is read and which isn't.
What a joke.
Who does this shit? Does the CEO at the top wake up one day and say "lets make my customers lives miserable and spent 5 million dollars to redo our website...you know it was really practical and the best in the market before but lets re do it."
yup, megavideo is another one. welcome to site redesign fail 2011
Failing is the new winning. Look at RIM.
As long as they don't change Outlook
I can't see Microsoft ****ing up this bad because the one thing about Microsoft, most of the shit they've ever released or done has IMPROVED upon the preceeding product. Look at Windows phone, Windows, Office suite. Say what you want, but their shit is easy to use, intuitive and each re-release you get something that adds to efficiency.
BMO too..! took me awhile to get use to it!. too much flash, add-ins, adobe stuff....
Add the Sympatico home page to the list of poorly re-done sites. Used to look clean and easy to navigate, now it looks like some kid put this together. And overall the site is plagued with typos and missing links.

I was sort of pissed when they changed gmail but after a couple days I found it to be fine. Not sure why you're complaining about the contrast. In every colour scheme emails you haven't read the row shading is different and the text is bold. There's even a high contrast theme which is pretty much what the default theme was before they changed it.
With regards to the picture thing, it's not a big surprise. I remember when office 2007 came out and everyone at work was pissed because they couldn't find anything because there was this new tab bar and it was all pictures rather than text. Now most people love it because the most used tools are a click away rather than buried in a menu.
The only website that pisses me off is facebook. They are constantly changing it, these days it doesn't stay the same for more than 6 months. It's pretty much just the result of people working for facebook making work for themselves so they can keep their jobs. They got this new timeline thing coming out now that is going to completely change your profile design...again
^^Ditto about TD site. I didn't notice any change and have been using it since it's inception, so long I can't even remember....
Not sure how you havent noticed the TD website or if you even read my post to be honest, I've been using easy web for 7 years now, its been changed for a little over a year now.
TD is the only one that didn't overly screw up their navigation features. However they did change the colour scheme with the white/green overlay, background, etc.
I dont have any old screeners to show you, however it was much nicer and not as blinding before...
As for gmail, I couldn';t find said high contrast theme.
edit - found it. thats better. still not much of a difference between old gmail and new gmail - not an improvement.
all you people sound old.
naw just bored
Good Mr. File menu, I know you have been around since the dawn of GUIs but we here at Microsoft feel that pictures in retarded tabs can replace you.
p.s. we are not going to put all the buttons in the tabs, so the only way you can access it is to add it to the tiny picture bar.
My guess is they are changing everything to pictures from words is that most people cannot read these days but can recognize symbols.
I still am a fan of Windows 3.1 format.

Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Sofa Sunday, Mobile Sunday, Green Monday, Cyber Monday, Red Tuesday, Free Shipping Friday. Yes, these are all real things that the retail industry has come up with to get you to part with your money in the typically robust holiday gift-buying season.
The final big retail event of the year to join the onslaught of retail inventions is Super Saturday, the Saturday right before Christmas where retailers hold one-day markdowns and consequently ring up blockbuster sales from the flurry of last-minute Christmas gift-shopping and impulse buying. Super Saturdays can bring in as much as $15 billion in revenue for retailers, a number significantly bigger than the $11.4 billion reported for this year's Black Friday.
This year, however, Super Saturday falls on Christmas Eve, and businesses are worried that the deep discounts might come too late for shoppers who won't have time to hit stores that day. Given the recessionary Christmas spirit that has lingered over the retail sector, with post-Black Friday sales figures severely disappointing, weak Super Saturday sales numbers might be the death knell to retailers who are hoping to salvage their year.
As such, some stores have taken proactive action and moved Super Saturday up by one week to this coming Saturday, eight full days before Christmas Day.
The New York Times reports that national chains like Macy's (M), J.C. Penny (JCP) and Aeropostale (ARO) will hold their Super Saturday deep discounting events on Dec. 17. However, others like Victoria's Secret (LTD) and Skechers (SKX) have decided to stick to the literal interpretation of Super Saturday and will host their one-day sales only on Dec. 24.
This lack of cohesion and coordination in the marketing strategies of big chains could end up hurting sales if shoppers, already frazzled with the inundation of the myriad of sale events like today's Free Shipping Day, get confused about the different dates on which stores plan to hold their respective Super Saturdays.
Adding to the confusion are chains like Gap (GPS), whose Gap and Old Navy divisions will hold their Super Saturday sales events tomorrow while its higher-end Banana Republic stores will do so next week. And Walmart (WMT), which will have a markdown on prices this Saturday even though it will not be termed a Super Saturday event because the big box chain had already employed the term in November.
Undoubtedly, given the sluggishness of the retail sector, it's a buyer's market out there and shoppers who haven't already bought their Christmas presents can expect to find great bargains in the week to come. The problem might just be finding out when these bargains will take place.

As for John Barth's "Lost in the Funhouse" and "life story,"
he tries to change the conventional narratorial in the work of fiction. The ilogical or non-linear plot within the story does challenge the readers' comptences and patience.
Readers would feel anxious about the disorder and uncertainity within the story. Meanwhile, the desperate longing for the so-called "ending" of the story also makes readers upset or even confused about the multivoiced expression or hypertextaulity.
Therefoer, I think about one question: "if readers (like us) begin to read this postmodern texts in non-organized way, (just like temporarly catch one short pargraph and read it, and then read another one from the end of the story...), does this way of reading affect or change the significant meaning which John Barth wants to state at first?

Allen postponing shows over lost visa
EmptyLONDON -- British songstress Lily Allen is to postpone a raft of West Coast performances after U.S. authorities revoked her work visa.
Allen was initially stopped by American customs officials when entering the country this month.
Following that incident, Allen's manager Neale Easterby, of Empire Management, confirmed to Billboard that the artist had been held in customs, but was adamant her dates -- and a scheduled appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards -- would go ahead.
In a statement issued today on Allen's behalf, EMI said the visa reinstatement process "has proven lengthier than anticipated, thus preventing her tour from launching on Sept. 6 in San Diego."
Allen added, "I am so disappointed that I won't be able to come to the States at this time," Allen said. "I was really looking forward to playing these shows and being part of the Video Music Awards. I want my fans to know that I'll be back as soon as I possibly can."
Allen's Capitol debut, "Alright, Still," has sold more than 374,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, after opening at No. 20 on the Billboard 200 in February.

|Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,
and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,
that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know.
For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.
But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, as we also to see you-- therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith. For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord. For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God, night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and perfect what is lacking in your faith?
Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you,
so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

Finally, we have come to the end on my series on the Creed of my Family Coven. Hopefully I have shown that this is a system that actually works to improve those that follow it. Now don't get me wrong, I am not trying to get people to convert to my way of thinking. I just was trying to show merit.
The end of the Creed talks about offering up Thanksgivings. A topic which I think is appropriate since Thanksgiving is next week. I have talked yesterday about what I had to be thankful for.
But what about you, my reader, what do you have to be thankful for? Comment below.
Blessed Be!
Just an FYI this site will be going down for maintenance in the next couple of hours. Should be up by tomorrow. I apologize for any incovenience.

Co-Curricular Program
Our intellectual endeavors across the different disciplines are enhanced by numerous all-school events and traditions. These activities stem from our beliefs about teaching and learning and further support our mission statement by enriching the experience of the students with activities outside the classroom and within the supportive community. For years, students have participated in our annual social studies fair, a tradition that requires students to organize their time and study skills to execute a significant research project and display their learning orally, visually, and in writing. While middle school students show off individually polished work, fourth and fifth graders work as a whole class to demonstrate their learning, and our youngest students visit those displays and look to older students as role models of focused effort and public speaking skills. We place a strong emphasis on the classics, with every student in the middle school taking latin and students in the younger grades studying greek and roman mythology. We compete against high school students in the University of Vermont's Latin Day every year, and we have won first prize seven times. The spring poetry fest celebrates creative writing with multi-age activities that encourage poetic thinking and a "coffee house" event in the barn where students, parents, faculty, and friends share their favorite poems aloud.
Fundamental to The Riverside School's program is the attention paid to social, emotional, and ethical learning. During weekly meetings, teachers frequently spend time focusing on these developmental needs of our students and how we can best meet them through our program. We focus intensively on the development of these skills in the self-contained classrooms of our elementary students and in our advisory and leadership sessions (grade-specific, homeroom-style meeting times) for middle school students. For example, Kindergarteners and First graders learn to greet visitors with kindness and openness, introducing themselves and making eye contact with the guest. In Eighth grade advisory, students plan for and debrief their role modeling during daily clean up time and their use of strong and confident voice when leading activities in our morning assembly. These skills are also practiced by all students throughout the year in activities like field trips, poetry fest, winter carnival, lunch discussion groups, and board or creative games during break and lunch. We recognize the need to articulate our social, emotional, and ethical learning in a social skills curriculum that is integrated throughout Riverside's program.

As a chief powerbroker and former vice president of China, Zeng Qinghong is used to getting his way in the back rooms of Beijing. His son Zeng Wei, however, is finding it much more difficult getting his grand design through the local council of Sydney.
The younger Zeng and his wife Jiang Mei are currently locked in a bitter dispute with Sydney's Woollahra council over the proposed multi-million dollar development of a harborside mansion in Point Piper. The property, also known as CRAIG Y MOR, was bought by the Zengs back in 2008 for a then-record price of A$32.4 million ($32.2 million).

Former MPP Kim Craitor's ex-staffer wants him to be 'accountable' for sexual harassment allegations
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — A former female staff member of Kim Craitor says she hopes he will "stand up and be held accountable" for sexual harassment allegations made against him while he was Niagara Falls Liberal MPP.
"Tell the truth with openness and transparency," Michelle Tavano, one of four women working at Craitor's Niagara Falls constituency office in 2013, told the Niagara Falls Review.
"He can begin by doing this, then, he may ask for forgiveness. It is also my opinion that without the truth, Mr. Craitor is undeserving of the privileged title, councillor for the City of Niagara Falls.
"He has betrayed the public, employees and his family."
Craitor, in an e-mail to The Review in early May, claimed he was forced by the Liberal party to resign in September 2013 after "unfounded and unsubstantiated allegations of sexual harassment" were made against him earlier that year.
During a press conference on May 6, Premier Kathleen Wynne said an investigation was done into sexual harassment allegations against Craitor and that after receiving the results, Craitor was asked to resign.
Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati said the decision on whether to release the investigator's report "should be up to those people" who made the complaints.
"I think they need to be consulted first because there's people, there's families that may be affected, and I think it's got to be the will of those people, the desire of the people that were involved," he said.
"If they're comfortable with (making the report public), then sure, why not? I think all that people are asking for is openness and transparency, and I think that's a reasonable request."
Diodati said he doesn't think anybody wants to see the issue "turn into a political football.
"No one wants to see anybody hurt. I just think that there's a desire for answers, and right now there's just lots of questions, not a lot of answers."
Craitor, who is now a city councillor, said a sexual harassment complaint in the summer of 2013 took him "completely by surprise," and led to the Liberal party asking him to resign to "protect the Premier."
He said the allegations were not true. Craitor said he had "not done anything wrong," which he reiterated to party officials.
At the time of his resignation, Craitor cited mental exhaustion and that he wanted to put his health and family first, as the reasons for leaving his post after 10 years as the riding's representative.
Neither Tavano, nor Craitor, have elaborated on the specifics of the allegations.
Craitor has not responded to repeated interview requests by The Review since early May, other than to say he would not attend the May 10 council meeting, citing a bout with the shingles. He has also not responded to an inquiry on whether he will attend Tuesday's council meeting.
In 2014, Craitor ran for Niagara Falls city council and finished first out of eight councillors elected. Tavano also ran in that election, placing 18th out of 33 candidates.
During the May 6 press conference, Wynne confirmed sexual harassment allegations were made against Craitor, but was only commenting on the matter, she said, because a woman involved in the issue broke her silence to the media earlier in the day.
Earlier that day, Tavano told The Review she disputes Craitor's claims the allegations against him were unfounded.
"He knows what he did," an emotional Tavano said at the time. "He spoke of transparency and allegedly held the goal of honourable MPP. I question his honourability. I'll leave it at that."
During her press conference, Wynne said the government's human resources staff received sexual harassment complaints regarding Craitor in 2013.
"Upon receipt of the complaints, an investigation led by an external and independent third-party investigator, with expertise in the area of workplace investigations, was undertaken.
"When the issues were first brought to Mr. Craitor's attention, he indicated his willingness to resign his seat if his conduct was found to have been sufficiently serious," said Wynne.
"When the results of the independent investigation were received, I determined that action, indeed, needed to be taken, and Kim Craitor was asked to resign."
Since then, the premier's office has not answered questions related to specific details surrounding the allegations – who the investigator was that probed the allegations, or if and how much public money was spent to bring in an investigator.
Wynne has been asked if she would release some sort of redacted version of the investigator's report, but said she has talked about the details "as we can."
Wynne said there's "nothing" stopping anyone who made allegations against Craitor from discussing the issue.
Wynne has not revealed how many complaints were made against Craitor, or how quickly the matter was dealt with.
"I'm not going to go into more details. I've given the details that are appropriate. We dealt with it. We brought in an investigator and I acted on the recommendations — or I acted on the findings of the investigation," she said.
Tavano did not directly answer whether she thinks the provincial government should release the investigator's report.
Some of Craitor's former provincial colleagues have declined to discuss the allegations.
St. Catharines Liberal MPP Jim Bradley's office said the veteran politician will provide "no comment at this time."
Toronto-area Liberal MPP Michael Chan's office said he would not discuss the allegations, but that Chan stands by Wynne's sexual harassment policy.
Craitor was assistant to Chan when Chan was tourism and culture minister.
Niagara Falls NDP MPP Wayne Gates, who won a byelection in 2014 to replace Craitor, has not responded to interview requests to discuss the issue.

Mirallas was top goalscorer for his former club last season with 20 goals and notched an impressive 14 the year before, but has struggled to produce the same form since moving to Merseyside.
|Kevin Mirallas is 7/1 with Bet365 to score the first goal for Everton against Norwich
"I don't think he's firing on all cylinders. I think he's not returned the way I would like him yet," Moyes told reporters ahead of their weekend clash with Norwich.
"He's still getting used to the Premier League and I think he's got to create me more goals and he's got to score me more goals.
"That's what I'm waiting for him to do. He knows that, I've told him that, and we're hoping for more."
Mirallas started brightly in England with two goals and two assists on his full debut in a 5-0 win over Leyton Orient in the Capital One Cup, followed by a first league goal against Swansea City a month later.
And Moyes feels this is the sort of form the Belgian striker needs to show in order to help him rediscover his proven goalscoring touch.
The Scot continued: "His form at the start of the season was excellent and we saw what he's capable of. I don't think we've really had that off him yet since he came back from his injury."

Five games into the American Professional Soccer League season and already the Fort Lauderdale Strikers have a season`s worth of injuries.
Jean Derivois, Troy Edwards, Scott Brennan, Kenny Santos, Zico Doe, Zenon Luzniak, Jeff Betts and Dennis Hamlet are hurt, reducing the Strikers` roster to nine players.
``I have never seen anything like this as a coach or a player,`` said Strikers coach Thomas Rongen. ``Injuries are part of the game, but eight of them at one time is hard to believe.``
Derivois is out for the season with a broken leg. Edwards is out for fours week after arthroscopic surgery last Monday. He is likely to return on June 18, at home against the Montreal Impact. Brennan is out for a week and a half after an MRI determined a strained knee ligament.
Injuries to Doe, Santos, Luzniak and Betts are listed as day-to-day. Hamlet is recovering from an ankle injury suffered during the indoor season. He has yet to sign a contract. All five players are expected back for the Vancouver game.
``We are in better shape than last year,`` Brennan said. ``These injuries are an isolated case of bad luck.
The Strikers have this week off to heal their wounds after a losing road trip to Los Angeles and Colorado.
Vancouver will train in South Florida in preparation for the Strikers.
``The reason we came to Florida is to use a six-day minicamp to re-establish some teamwork and understanding between our six national team players and the rest of the team,`` coach Bob Lenarduzzi said.
John Catliff, Domenic Mobilio, Dale Mitchell, David Norman, Carl Valentine and Mark Watson have joined Vancouver after a two-month tour with Canada`s World Cup team.
Roy Wegerle (Coventry City), John Harkes (Sheffield Wednesday), Ernie Stewart (Wellem II), and Peter Woodring (Hamberg SV) have rejoined the U.S. national team in preparation the U.S. Cup, which the United States opens against Brazil on June 6 at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Conn... The Strikers` Ivan McKinley is expected to be offered a contract with Rapid Wien of Austria in the fall... Former Strikers defender Steve Pittman transferred to Dundee Football Club in Scotland after the 1992 season.

Four members of the Balmorhea Bears girls' basketball team were named to the All-District 9-A basketball team, while three members of Balmorhea's boys' squad also received All-district recognition.
One player off each squad for the Bears was also selected to play in the Texas Six-Man Coaches Association All-Star basketball game this summer, and two other Balmorhea players were chosen as tournament alternates.
Balmorhea's girls ended a three-year playoff drought this season, placing second in District 9-A and then defeating District 10-A champion Grandfalls before losing to Water Valley in the area round of the playoffs. The Bears placed senior guard Trina Jurado and junior post Lorissa Rodriguez on the first team squad, while post Amber Briceno and guard Savannah Matta were second team selections.
Jurado, who was the Bears' top outside shooter this past season, was also named to the six-man All-Star squad, along with Fort Davis' Jenny Cauble, who was selected as most Valuable Player for the district in 2004. Briceno was named as an alternate to the West All-Star team.
Dell City's Shyra Dean was named Defensive MVP by the district's coaches, while the rest of the first team was made up of Fort Davis' Chelsey Boswell and Sandie Rodriguez and Kim French of Sierra Blanca. The other second team selections were Fort Davis' Courtney Brewer, Sierra Blanca's Lucia Snyder and Sandra Calderon of Valentine.
While this was an up year for the girls, it was a down season for Balmorhea's boys, who missed the playoffs for the first time since the midd-1990s. Even with that, the Bears' senior post, Keith Baeza, ended up sharing District 9-A MVP honors with Dell City junior Jose Garcia. Baeza was also chosen to the Six-Man All-Star Game, along with Fort Davis senior Frankie Cauble.
Also named to the first team squad was another senior for the Bears, guard Urban Baeza, while sophomore Brian Mendoza was chosen too the second team squad. Baeza was also picked as first alternate to the summer all-star contest. Two other Bears, junior Levon Barragan and sophomore Justin Machuca, were honorable mention picks for the team.
Cauble and another Fort Davis senior, John Liddell, were the Indians' first team picks, while Dell City put two other juniors, Eloy Perez and Josh Archonde, on the first team squad. The rest of the second team was made up of seniors Trini Granado and Tim Salcido and junior Arthur Cauble of Fort Davis and junior Alex Jackson and senior Harvey Bustamante of Sierra Blanca.
The Pecos Eagles will close out their pre-district baseball schedule tonight by starting a three-game home stand, as they face the Midland Christian Mustangs, while Pecos' softball team ends a two game road trip this afternoon in Kermit, as they take on the Yellowjackets in their third District 4-3A game of the season.
The Eagles and Jackets will face each other at 5 p.m., with Pecos looking to stay within a game of first place Monahans and Greenwood, while the baseball game in Pecos will begin at 7 p.m., with both the Eagles and Mustangs looking to improve on their results from this past weekend.
The girls dropped to 1-1 in district this past Friday with a 3-0 loss at Monahans. The Loboes took advantage of Pecos mistakes in the first and fourth innings to score their runs, while Nicole Dickson shut out the Eagles on three hits.
"Overall we didn't do badly on defense. Savanna Ewing did a good job playing at third base, and Cassandra Terrazas had a good catch in right field," said Eagles' coach Tammy Walls. "But Monahans is a good team and we just didn't play good enough to win."
The Eagles scrimmaged Kermit back in February and outscored the Jackets at that time, but haven't face they since then in pre-district play. "We should be able to d OK, but you never know how things are going to go," Walls said.
Pecos' boys have dropped five straight games, allowing 11 or more runs each time, to fall to 3-11 on the season. That includes two losses to Greenwood and losses to Big Spring and Andrews this past weekend at the Andrews Tournament. Tonight, they'll face a Midland Christian team that dropped a pair of 11-1 decisions over the weekend on the road, as they opened TAPS district place with losses in Dallas and Waco.
The Eagles will take on Kermit at home on Friday to begin their District 4-3A schedule, and coach Elias Payan said that after using six pitchers in this past weekend's games, he wasn't sure who would go on the mound against the Mustangs.
"Right now I'm trying to get my rotation set in the right sequence for district, so maybe Edward (Valencia) will go, if his arm's not sore, maybe (Chris) Garnto, or we may just do it by committee," he said.
"Right now I'm looking to Friday too have our rotation in order. I want to win this ballgame, but Friday, when district starts, is what's important," he added.
Kermit and Fort Stockton will start off the 4-3A season tonight, in a game moved up from April due to the Easter holiday. Monahans, Greenwood and Presidio will join the Eagles in beginning their district schedule on Friday.

A slaying suspect captured Thursday after a double shooting and robbery the night before was released in May from a Georgia prison, authorities said.
Kelvin Steffor Johnson was released from Rogers State Prison in Reidsville after serving 16 months of a three-year sentence on a second-degree forgery conviction, according to Georgia Department of Corrections records.
He is being held without bond at the Richmond County Jail, accused of fatally shooting a Hephzibah woman, wounding her husband and robbing them.
Richmond County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Mr. Johnson, 24, about 7:30 a.m. Thursday at a home in the 2300 block of Boykin Road, Richmond County Sheriff's Sgt. Calvin Chew said. He is charged with murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Police believe Mr. Johnson fatally shot Martha Greene shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday at her home in the 2200 block of Plantation Road, Lt. Scott Peebles said in an e-mail.
Her husband, Tilman Coley "T.C." Greene, was shot in the mouth and was recovering at Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics, Maj. Ken Autry said.
Police said Mr. Johnson rode up to the Greene home on a bicycle and had a short conversation with Mr. Greene before pulling out a handgun. A struggle began, during which Mr. Greene was shot in the face. He pretended to be dead, Lt. Peebles said.
Mr. Johnson then shot Mrs. Greene at least once.
The shooter got away with a big-screen television and the couple's white 1997 Chevrolet pickup truck.

Keeping this a little short since I'm actually moving out of my temporary apartment this week to our new grownup house. I'm so looking forward to having a little more time once this second move is done. So to quickly get this going we have a rather interesting series from a well known and unique artist Sara Richard. She has a way with bringing out attitude from the characters of any particular book with her distinct style and Bob's Burgers gets the Richard's treatment in her rendition of the bunch. I love her colors, I love the vibe you get from her artwork, and so far for me it really doesn't matter what book she is drawing for in order to get that type of gut reaction. Next we have a fabulous Carnage cover from another very well known artist Michael Del Mundo. Taking one's surroundings and injected the main character in those surroundings was crafted meticulously creating one of this weeks stand out covers. With very little color and a lot of love he won out big on this one. Sean Phillips created a very artistic layered cover for Cry Havoc. It grabbed my attention because of the detailed work that went into it. You really can't help but look at each section in order to understand what you are looking at. Now before I get booed for this next cover I wanna make this clear, this isn't one of Tim Seeley's best covers. However the genius of the cover is from the laugh that it created. Placing Deadpool and Bob of all people with no line, well I indeed found it rather humorous to see. Next is spattered piece of artwork where the color mainly grabbed my attention. Nic Klein did a great job created the structure but the true beauty is the blending of color he did!
Hmm, La Muerta Decent, how did that get into my top ten list…clean lines I suppose. David Aja and David Mack both have a knack for creating out-of-the-box masterpieces one normally would not expect to see from your everyday artist. Scarlet Witch was another distinct looking piece that had that runaway wow factor even with the limited use of color. The drawing, the abstract application of the Scarlet Witch's hair, and even the use of limited color made this a stand out cover. Agustin Alessio created a warm pastel or better yet, warmly colored charcoal cleanly drawn Tomb Raider cover. If you look closed the detail that went into Lara Croft is simply astounding, just look at her off-white shirt. Next we have a Transformers cover by Alex Milne and although he has made the list in the past and will make the list many more times I find his sleek looking Transformers to be the style I usually compare newcomers artists of the series too. Finally with DC's Rebirth comes the onslaught of #1 issues and with new series come new writers and artists. Wonder Woman seems to be lucky to have Liam Sharp as a cover artist. His take on the Amazon Warrior Princess is sleek, muscular, and with a beautiful face as well as those lushes locks to top it off. The new god of war is definitely off to a good start.
Well that wraps up another week of eye catching comic book covers. If you feel the need to share your thoughts concerning my choices this week please do and I hope to see you back here next week.

"This opportunity allows us to support the Boy Scouts of America, receive support from all of our locations and give our employees something to cheer about as they watch us rappel 447 feet to the ground," said Mark W. Boyer.
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) May 01, 2012
Five members of Foundation Financial Group's executive team are prepared to go "Over the Edge" of one of the tallest buildings in Jacksonville to support the North Florida Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
Foundation Financial Group's CEO Mark W. Boyer, President Kris S. Williams, CFO Tanya L. Mauro, CIO Rolf Wilck and COO of Subsidiaries David Gueterman have spent several weeks raising money to rappel down the AT&T Tower, located at 301 E. Bay Street, on May 17 and 18.

Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 & Turbo Module Review
By Makaveli -
In order to test both of these products, I will test the idle and load temperatures of the Accelero alone and then with the Turbo Module. All temperatures are in Celsius, and lower is better in all tests. To achieve the load for the video cards, I'll be running the graphically intense 3DMark06 benchmark three times in a row. I did try overclocking the system and slightly overclocking the GPU, but there weren't any noteworthy results.
Testing Setup:
- Intel E6600 Core 2 Duo CPU
- Abit IN9-32 MAX Wi-Fi Motherboard
- 2GB (2 x 1GB) Crucial Ballistix DDR2 1066
- eVGA GeForce 7950GT KO Video Card
- Western Digital 160GB SATA Hard Drive
- Cooler Master 750watt Power Supply
- Enermax Chakra Full Tower Case
- Windows XP Pro SP2
The results when both the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 and Arctic Cooling Turbo Module are paired up will be titled "Turbo Module".
Wow! These results are astonishing. A 28C drop from stock to the Accelero S1 paired with the Turbo Module under load? I'm simply blown away...
