Ferrer through as Tomic withdraws
Fourth seed David Ferrer was handed a walkover into the third round of the US Open when opponent Bernard Tomic pulled out with hip problems.
The Australian had surgery on both hips after the Australian Open and did not want to take a risk when he felt pain in the left one following his first-round win over Dustin Brown.
Tomic, who has also been struggling with flu, said: "I don't want to muck around with that area. For sure something is there. I've got to get it checked. It's not good right now. It's painful.
Bernard Tomic could not take to the court for his second-round match
"I can't afford to get on court and play against David and cause much more pain to myself because I'm going to have to stay with him the whole match.
"I can potentially make it 10 times worse. For me it's the best thing not to go on court today. It's a very difficult decision for me, but I have to do this."
It has been a season of wild extremes for Tomic, who played the quickest recorded match in ATP Tour history on his comeback from surgery when he lost to Jarkko Nieminen in 28 minutes in Miami.
He subsequently dropped out of the top 100 after a torrid run only to win the second title of his career in Bogota in July.
Seventh seed Grigor Dimitrov had not won a match at Flushing Meadows before this year but he is through to the third round without dropping a set after a 6-1 6-2 6-2 victory over Dudi Sela.
Marin Cilic has also been impressive so far, and the 14th seed's 7-6 (7/2) 6-2 6-4 victory over Ilya Marchenko set up a third-round clash with 18th seed Kevin Anderson, who came from a set down to beat Jerzy Janowicz.
Gael Monfils avoided his customary drama in a 7-5 6-3 6-2 win over Alejandro Gonzalez while 19th seed Feliciano Lopez won in four sets against Tatsuma Ito.

I have a router with a public IP address provided by the ISP and two hosts behind the router with a private IP (192.168.x.x).
Is it possible to perform a port or vulnerability scan of a private subnet behind public IP address?
Yes, you don't need NAT, masquerading or even routing (but you do at least need HTTP proxying).
This tool uses websockets and ajax requests but it's possible to do with just img URLs. A simple Java applet will identify and report back the local IP address if you don't want to scan lots of adresses.
Usually, such networks are behind Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT waits for an internal system to send out a packet to a WAN address, then stores the route in a table. It alters the packet to have the router's WAN IP as the source address, and sends it to the internet. When the response comes back, it matches the incoming packet to a route. This is especially easy to demonstrate with TCP, where a connection has a sequence number that can be used to match the packets to the conversation.
The problem with accessing internal ports is that if a packet doesn't explicitly match a route that the router knows about, it is dropped. Note that port forwarding rules create their own routes, so the router knows to route incoming TCP / UDP packets to a particular internal IP. As such, it's quite difficult to enumerate internal IPs from the internet, let alone do port scans.
The only way I know of to do this is to exploit the router. Some of them have badly set up UPnP daemons, allowing you to trick the router into setting up port forwarding rules. There are some other ways to do this, usually via the router's control panel.
Aaron "finux" Finnon (@f1nux on Twitter) did a great talk about pwning UPnP at BSidesLondon earlier this year: http://www.securitytube.net/video/4140
As soon as the address is reachable from your network, yes, you can scan ports from a remote network. Of course, equipments between you and your target machine (firewalls, most notably) will influence the results.
If the target IP address is not routable on the internet, then it may or may not be possible to perform a scan on some ports. It all depends on the configuration of the NAT server (and firewall) between the target LAN and the Internet.
There are specialized websites (like this one) for this if you don't have a source machine on a remote network. Of course, to perform such a scan you should have an authorization from the target system owner/admin, if it's not you.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Possibly. It depends.
NAT routers work by monitoring outbound traffic and creating rules on the fly to send incoming traffic to where it needs to go.
For example:
All other incoming traffic is dropped by the NAT router.
In some cases, machines on the internal network need to be able to accept incoming packets from the external network, without knowing anything about the external machine beforehand. For example, I might set up a web server on 192.168.1.2:80, but want it accessible from the external network. This is facilitated by port forwarding.
Port forwarding adds a permanent rule to the NAT forwarding rules, such that traffic from all (or a preset list of) IP addresses to a specific port is sent to an internal IP address. In the above case, I might say that anything coming to my router on TCP port 80 should be forwarded to 192.168.1.2:80.
This doesn't offer up a vulnerability in itself, but it leads to one. A lot of games and communications software (e.g. IM, VoIP, etc) require incoming connections to be accepted. Because most consumers don't know how to configure their router, and it becomes a hassle to manually enter port forwarding rules every time you install a new game / program, routers needed an API that allows for automatic configuration of these rules. The most popular API for this is UPnP (Universal Plug-n-Play).
UPnP allows a program to tell the router to add a UPnP port forwarding rule. Most routers specify some restrictions on this, e.g. maximum time that a rule may exist before the program needs to renew it, but in general it's pretty lax.
The API works over HTTP, so it's relatively easy to implement in most languages. It also doesn't require any authentication beyond "I have an internal IP address", which means that cross-site AJAX, HTML5 web sockets and even iframes created within a browser may have the ability to set up port forwarding rules. This usually requires a bug in the browser's same-origin policy, but it's certainly possible for an attacker to leverage this to create arbitrary port forwarding rules. These could be used to fingerprint your internal network. They could also use web sockets to fingerprint your internal network directly, by getting you to visit a web page. Of course, the scan would be interrupted when you closed the page. symcbean's answer shows a practical example of this.
The other issue is that UPnP is sometimes implemented on the router in a rather sloppy way. Certain routers allow some crazy things to be done via UPnP without authentication, e.g. turning off wifi, resetting the device to factory settings, flashing firmware. I even found a router that would tell you the wifi SSID and password in cleartext if you sent a certain UPnP request. In fact, in some cases routers allow "limited" UPnP access from the internet-facing side too. It's bizarre and terrible security practice.
You should examine a technique called Firewalking, the original paper, and another paper.
Yes, but only if you have a port forward (DNAT; D = destination), which will expose one port (and therefore service if something is listening) on one of the internal hosts (in a simple setup). To scan your internal network, the attacker would need to somehow establish a connection into your internal network through exposed services (VPN, SSH) or even web server or other services, if there is a vulnerability.

Assuming that you have a public IP address, with a 192.168.x.x private subnet using dynamic NAT to translate the private IP addresses to the public IP address, there is no way for an attacker to do a port/vulnerability scan of your private subnet from the internet.

Sintesi dell'editore
With nine years of marriage down the drain, Chicago native Nick Stewart leaves the city behind in search of solitude. He heads for his most cherished place in the world to heal and live the rest of his life alone. Little did Nick know that God's plans were different from his own. Sleepy Valley is a small mountain village in the heart of the Tennessee Smoky Mountains that Nick loves. But instead of peace and quiet, he can't seem to avoid meeting everyone in the little mountain village. Within a week, he's got two beautiful women chasing him, a new best friend, and a little puppy to boot. It seems Nick didn't pick Sleepy Valley, but God picked the town for him, and what God has in store, Nick never could have imagined. Author Tim Callahan takes readers on a journey through heartache, laughter, and everything in between as Nick finds God's healing through true love and true friendship in Sleepy Valley.
A break from his successful Kentucky Summers series, Tim Callahan gives readers this new novel of romance and comedy.

Poor read, inaccurately billed as Christian
What was most disappointing about Tim Callahan???s story?
The story was very dry and not very compelling. It just didn't grab me and interest me. I kept going for awhile but finally had to call it quits. Other than overall quality, one thing that really bothered me was the amount of time spent discussing the female lead's chest. It was given just as much "air time" as some of the characters. It just didn't sit well with me or seem to fit in with a story being billed as Christian. It cheapened the male characters' appeal. It might be better to re-categorize as more mainstream fiction.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I felt this narrator didn't add anything to the story at all. It certainly didn't redeem the content and definately detracted further.

Son of Sylvester Stallone dies in L.A.
Updated 9:27 PM ET
(CBS/AP) Sage Stallone, the 36-year-old son of actor Sylvester Stallone, has been found dead, a lawyer confirms to CBS News.
George Braunstein, Sage Stallone's attorney, tells CBS News Friday that Sage was found dead at his Hollywood home.
"Sylvester Stallone is devastated and grief-stricken over the sudden loss of his son," publicist Michelle Bega said in a statement. "His compassion and thoughts are with Sage's mother, Sasha."
Authorities were investigating Sage Stallone's death, but details were not immediately available.
Los Angeles police say they were sent to investigate a death at a home on Friday afternoon, but could not confirm the person's identity or offer details. Coroner's officials also say they were in the initial stages of the investigation.
Braunstein told The New York Post that Sage was in good spirits. "He was planning on getting married. I am just devastated. He was an extremely wonderful, loving guy. This is a tragedy."
Sage Moonblood Stallone was the oldest of Sylvester Stallone's children and co-starred with his father in two films. He was the first of two sons Stallone had with first wife Sasha Czack.
Sage Stallone made his acting debut in 1990's "Rocky V" and also appeared with his father in 1996's "Daylight."
Also in 1996, Sage Stallone and veteran film editor Bob Murawski co-founded Grindhouse Releasing, a company dedicated to preserving and promoting the B-movies and exploitation films of the 1970s and 80s.
Sage Stallone also directed the 2006 short "Vic," which screened at the Palm Springs Film Festival.

Whale Watching Spoken Here
Winter Watch Week Dec. 26, 2009 - Jan. 1, 2010
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department each year sponsors the Whale Watching Spoken Here program. The program places trained volunteers at 28 great whale-watching sites from 10 a.m.-
1 p.m. during the winter and spring watch weeks.
We are fortunate here at Sandlake Country Inn to have 3 locations close by! The Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint, Cape Lookout Trail and Cape Kiwanda.
The whales that we see here on the Oregon Coast are the Eastern Pacific Gray Whales. This population of whales move between Alaska and California each year. This is over 12,000 miles, making it one of the longest migrations known for any mammal. They all move north in the summer to feed in the cold and productive waters, and then south in the winter to the warmer waters off California to breed. They can grow to over 50 feet, weigh as much as 36 tons, and live for over 50 years. At this time of year, the whales are on their way southward to breed in Baja California. They travel both night and day and average about 80 miles per day!
A population of about 2,000 Gray Whales stay along the Oregon coast throughout the summer, not making the farther trip to Alaska waters. This means that all year around you have a pretty good chance of a whale sighting.
When looking for your Oregon Coast Lodging to view the whale migration, staying and the Sandlake Country Inn Bed and Breakfast is a great choice! We are located just minutes from amazing viewing locations. Enjoy whale watching, storm watching and the amazing Oregon Coast beaches nearby. When you're ready to return to your room, suite or cottage, you can warm up with a luxurious bubble bath, sit in front of your fireplace and relax with your loved one. In the morning, stay in your comfortable warm robe we provide for you and your hot beverages and a sumptuous 4 course hot breakfast with be delivered to your door!

Great post on whale watching. My favorite time of year. When traveling and selecting a whale watching tour company, I always try to pick one that states they are responsible in how they approach whales. Being as close to a whale may be fun for us, but not necessarily to the whales according to research.
I just took a whale watching tour in Costa Rica and liked the professionalism this operator demonstrated. This page on their website explains how they approach whales and why.

Thanks Bob for your comments and the link. Our philosophy here at Sandlake Country Inn is sort of like being a doctor..."first, do no harm". Whales are amazing animals but it's important that we respect them and protect them for future generations.

It's Tea Time!
These cute little cookies are of the shortbread variety, but the method of making this is different to the pinwheel ones I made previously. I really love these cookies because when you take a first bite, it might seem that the tea flavour is not strong enough, but after a second, third bite, it tastes just like drinking a cup of milky Earl Grey Tea. They do not have a strong orange-y flavour either. You really can't resist munching on one...then another one...until the whole plateful is gone!
I first tried making chiffon cakes last year. At first I was really scared of whipping egg whites, but after making countless of these cakes (my mum loves them because they're not too sweet, and because of the soft and cottony texture), I think I've mastered the art of making a perfect chiffon. This particular matcha chiffon has a fresh and clean fragrance, and the ever-so-slight bitter aftertastes balances the sweetness perfectly. I've included some of my humble tips on making chiffon cakes below.
Both of these treats are great for snacking, and of course perfect consumed with a cup of your favourite tea during a relaxing afternoon! What is your favourite type of tea to use when baking?
Early Grey Tea Cookies
Adapted from Vanlily's blog (Original recipe in Chinese)
Makes 16-20 small cookies
1 teabag Earl Grey tea (I used Twinings)
1tbsp Milk
70g Butter, at room temperature
30g Icing sugar
Pinch Salt
120g All purpose flour
1/4tsp Baking soda
1. Put the milk into a small microwavable bowl and nuke it for around 10 seconds to warm it up. Cut open the tea bags, put the leaves into the milk. Cover and leave to infuse for around 30 minutes.
2. Beat butter and icing sugar with an electric mixer until soft and fluffy, beat in the tea-milk mixture
3. Sift in the salt, flour and baking soda. Gently fold into the mixture with a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 30mins.
5. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180C. Gently flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll out the dough gently until around 5mm thick, use cookie cutters to cut our shapes and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet, cookies and all into the freezer for around 5 minutes.
6. Bake for around 15-20minutes until pale golden. Remove and cool on a cooling rack, where they will crisp up.
Matcha Chiffon Cake
From Chiffon Cake Book by Junko Fukada (Original recipe in Chinese)
Makes one 17cm cake (plus some extra batter)
3 Egg yolks
80g Sugar
50ml Vegetable oil
60ml Water
80g Cake (low-protein) flour
10g Matcha (green tea powder)
4 Egg whites
1. Preheat oven to 180C. Whisk egg yolks, 1/3 of the sugar, oil and water together.
2. Pour in sifted flour and matcha, whisk until totally incorporated and no lumps remain.
3. Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until foamy. Pour in half the remaining sugar, beat for 2 more minutes, add in the rest of the sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
4.Place 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the flour mixture. Use a whisk to quickly mix everything together.
5. Add in the rest of the egg whites, incorporate gently but quickly. When some white streaks remain, swap to a rubber spatula and fold gently until the mixture is homogeneous.
6. Pour the mixture into the chiffon cake tin (you may need to slightly grease it beforehand to prevent sticking, but I skip this step). Rap the tin against the table a few times to get rid of large air bubbles.
7. Bake for 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. The cake must be cooled upside down; stick the tin on a tall heavy bottle, leave until cake is completely cool before removing it from the tin.
Tips for making chiffon cakes
- When mixing the yolk mixture, ensure that no lumps remain to ensure a smooth batter after adding egg whites. You don't want to be deflating the mixture whilst attempting to get rid of those lumps!
- An indication as to when the whites are ready, a small 'peak' will form when you pull up your beaters. After reaching that stage, whip for another minute on low speed to stabilise the air bubbles.
- Mix gently when incorporating the two mixtures. Usually, just to be on the safe side, I use a spatula upon the second addition.
- If your cake is being stubborn and refuses to leave the tin, use a thin sharp knife or thin offset spatula and run it around the cake. it should pop out really easily.

I've ever baked chiffon cakes, I think I'm doing one soon. I keep preciously your recipe, chiffon cakes chief :)
I was planning to make some matcha cookies for a friend's birthday, but I don't know if she will like it... (even if she told me she likes tea)
Let's make some Earl Grey Tea cookies instead! :D
Wonderful recipes. I made chocolate earl grey sorbet once and have been looking for ways to incorporate tea into other treats!
I love the color and idea of matcha chiffon. Yummo!
The cookies look wonderful! Definitely something I would try to make.
The chiffon looks lovely too. My mom is Asian and she likes chiffon cakes for the same reasons as your mother. My mom's personal favorite is lemon, but I'm sure she'd adore matcha too!
Out of total curiosity, do you have any idea what you're going to write your extended essay on?
Re: Celine
Chiffon cakes are really easy to master! Good luck! I'm sure your friend will love your cookies :)
Re: Justine
Wow, chocolate earl grey sorbet - sounds very exotic and must be delicious!
Re: Anh
Thank you, do try it!
Re: Elissa
I guess all asian mums don't have much of a sweet tooth! My mum likes banana and earl grey too.
Yes actually, I've started planning out my EE already. I've chosen geography, and my topic is gentrification/urban renewal in an old area in Hong Kong. BUT I wish I chose a topic on biology instead :(
Re : Wendy
I made them yesterday, they were good but the flavour of the tea wasn't strong enough.. I think it's because of the shape of my biscuits (they were small, in the shape of a music note)
But they were still good, my friend liked it :)
I'll do them again soon, hoping the taste will be stronger! Thanks again for the recipe!
(I made a post on my blog :))
Geography is so unusual! At my school we were discouraged from picking things like geography, psychology, film, etc because we never took classes on those subjects. My essay ended up being about history.
Best of luck on the EE!
For the matcha chiffon cake, can i use self raising flour?
Re: Ean
Unfortunately no, because self raising flour contains baking powder as well, which would affect the rising of the cake and the results would be very different.
Oh my Gosh! I am so excited trying your recipe since I got a long weekend here. I love cookies and chiffon cake. So thankful that you shared this recipe. Your the best! ;)

Relatives remember boy, 8, killed in fire
Brandon Thurston among 5 fire victims in southwest Mo. town
Relatives of an 8-year-old boy who was one of five people killed in a fire Thursday in the southwest Missouri town of Wheaton talked about the happy, energetic child they'll miss.
Brandon Thurston and his mother, Mary Henning, Jonathan "Jay" Gemmecke, Molly Doherty and Corey Hasche died when an apartment building caught fire.
Brandon's father lives in Independence and his family said they learned about the fire early Thursday morning.
"My ex-husband called me and it was like, I had to ask him four times, 'What did you say?' And when I finally accepted that, I was just heartbroken," said Brandon's grandmother, Mary Thurston.
The family said they didn't have their Thanksgiving dinner Thursday because everyone was so upset.
They said Branson was a typical 8-year-old boy who liked anything related to cars and was very happy with nonstop energy.
The Thurstons said they haven't been told how the fire started. They said they've heard that there may have been an issue with smoke detectors or fire alarms at the apartment complex. They encourage tenants at other apartment complexes to make sure their fire safety equipment works.

Q&A With Senior Goalkeeper Josh Cohen
Related Links
As a junior, UC San Diego goalkeeper Josh Cohen anchored a defense that was No. 1 in the nation in goals-against average (0.44) and shutout percentage (0.71). The wiry 6-foot-1 Cohen posted seven shutouts while allowing a mere five goals in his 13 appearances. His efforts gained plenty of notice, as he was named the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Most Valuable Defensive Player and earned first-team All-West Region and second-team All-America accolades from Daktronics. His talents are certainly appreciated by Triton coach Jon Pascale. "Josh has incredible reflexes and is as good a shot-stopper as any goalkeeper in the country," said the sixth-year head man. "He's now a veteran keeper coming off a great season and I expect him to anchor a very strong defense for us this year."
With fall training camp now in full swing and the start of the 2013 season less than two weeks away, the Sunnyvale native took time to share thoughts on his unique position, the team's recent trek to Argentina and his hopes for the upcoming campaign.
Q: What's a keeper's biggest nightmare? Greatest accomplishment?
COHEN: In practice, my biggest nightmare is probably taking a close-range shot to the groin region, but in a game, it's worth it to make the save. In general, a keeper's greatest accomplishment would have to be making big saves to help his team win a big game or championship.
Q: What prompted you to become a goalkeeper? Did you play there from the beginning?
COHEN: I'm not sure exactly what prompted me to first play goalkeeper, but I seem to have always been drawn to the position. I've been playing goalkeeper officially since I was seven or eight years old, but my mom does have a photo of me trying to play goalkeeper at a youth class at age three or so.
Q: In your opinion, what's the toughest aspect of the job? What was the hardest thing to learn?
COHEN: I think the toughest part of being a goalkeeper is the mental aspect. In a 90-minute game, there may only be two or three moments when I have to make a play, but each of those moments could be the difference between a win and a loss. The hardest thing to learn was how to shake off giving up a goal and move on to the rest of the game.
Q: Talk about some of the skills a keeper needs to have. Which do you consider the most important?
COHEN: As a goalkeeper, you have to be willing to throw your entire body at an oncoming forward knowing that there's a good possibility of getting kicked or hit with the ball. It's why goalkeepers have a reputation of being a little bit crazy.
Q: How much of it comes down to confidence?
COHEN: It really depends on the situation. Confidence helps a lot for free kicks, one-on-ones, and especially penalties, but other situations, such as shots in the run of play, you rely more on positioning and alertness.
Q: Is there a player you admire or have tried to emulate?
COHEN: I greatly admire Peter Schmeichel. He was the goalkeeper for Manchester United (and Denmark) from '91 to '99 and helped develop the position into what it is today.
Q: Through the media, you often hear that goalkeepers are a different breed. What is your relationship with your teammates like on and off the field?
COHEN: As a goalkeeper, I have definitely been called a little "crazy" a few times. On the practice field, I have somewhat of a competitive relationship with my teammates because I am pitted directly against them in shooting drills or free kick practice. Sometimes, the coaches will give the team two minutes to score 10 goals in a drill. At that point, it obviously becomes us goalkeepers' job to not let this happen, causing some friendly rivalry. I feel that this competitive nature helps push all of us to get better.
Off the field, I regularly hang out with my teammates on the beach at Marine Street on a nice day, or at whoever's house has cable when there is a big game on TV (soccer or otherwise).
Q: What's the craziest thing you've ever seen happen involving a keeper?
COHEN: In Euro 2004, a match between Portugal and England went to penalty kicks to see who would go on to the semifinals. With the shootout tied, 5-5, the Portuguese goalkeeper, Ricardo, made a save and then decided to call off his teammate and take the next kick himself. He scored and won the game.
Q: The 2012 season was your first as the full-time starter in net for UCSD. It ended with the Tritons having the best goals-against average in the nation and you being named the CCAA Most Valuable Defensive Player. How did all of that happen, and was it surprising to you?
COHEN: The defensive success of the team was not a surprise to me. We spent many training sessions working on our defensive shape, attitude and cohesiveness. This, combined with the hard-working mentality of everyone on the field, led to the defensive success we saw as a team. The awards were a pleasant surprise, but I definitely didn't do anything alone and I owe my teammates a big "thank you" for their help.
Q: The team recently went on an 11-day trip to Argentina. What were some of the soccer highlights? What was the most interesting thing you experienced outside of soccer?
COHEN: Just a few highlights of our trip included playing against professional teams, watching three first-division professional games, and getting to live at the Boca Juniors facilities and train with their coaches.
One of the days of the trip, we travelled via bus to a ranch outside of Buenos Aires. While there, we rode horses, ate a feast of steak and chicken, and enjoyed a traditional music/dance performance. There were many humorous moments on the trip, including Will Pleskow dancing tango with a restaurant performer in the Boca neighborhood and Jesse Brennan shuffling in various locations.
Q: How do you think that journey will impact the team during this fall's season?
COHEN: I think the trip will have a positive impact. It allowed us to get a few trainings and games under our belt before the official start of preseason, and it really helped to build the team chemistry.
Q: Speaking of the 2013 season, what kind of scouting report can you give us on the Tritons?
COHEN: We are returning a lot of key players and have a lot of new talent coming into the program as well. We are looking to continue our reputation of a hard-working team that is very strong defensively, and develop into a fast-paced team that is dangerous on both sides of the ball. Coach Pascale likes to say that we are one of the deepest teams in the country, and we can use our depth and hard-working mentality to maintain a fast-paced, high level of play for the full 90 minutes.
Q: Argentina was not your first encounter with South America. At age 15, you spent three months alone in Brazil as part of a youth soccer academy. What was that like?
COHEN: It was actually surprisingly similar to my Argentina experience while living at the Boca facilities, minus having all my English-speaking teammates with me. At Gremio, I shared a 10x10-foot room with five other players and trained for three to five hours or more every day. I spent most of my free time playing Pro Evolution Soccer on the PS2 with the other players and ate all of my meals at a small cafeteria inside the stadium.
Q: You also have quite an interest in outdoor activities. Talk about some of the things you like to do in your free time.
COHEN: Outside of soccer, I really enjoy skiing and rock climbing. In the off-season, I compete as a freestyle skier for the UCSD ski and snowboard team. Recently, some of my roommates who are on the men's water polo team have been teaching me how to surf.
Q: What's one new outdoor challenge you'd like to undertake?
COHEN: I'm thinking of trying my luck at professional frolfing (frisbee golf). Kidding aside, I want to try backcountry skiing and alpine touring.
Q: You're pursuing a bioengineering degree at UCSD with a minor in computer science. What led you to that and where do you hope it takes you?
COHEN: I have always been interested in designing and prototyping new things, and bioengineering at UCSD allows me to combine an interest in mechanical design with an interest in the workings of the human body. I also like computer science because it forces me to think in new ways. I eventually hope my degree path takes me to a point where I have the tools required to design and develop next-generation medical devices.
Q: What's been the most interesting thing you've learned from your classwork in those subjects?
COHEN: In one of my lab classes, I learned the hard way that a dead bullfrog will still kick its leg when one of its nerves is touched. That one caught me by surprise.
Q: What do you believe will be the key to success for UCSD Men's Soccer this fall?
COHEN: I think the main keys to success for us this fall are working hard and playing cohesively as a team. We compete in one of the toughest conferences in the country, and as such, a lot of our games come down to just being able to grind out a win after a hard-fought 90 minutes.

The daring rescue of a drowning boy from a dangerous rip current off a Cornish beach has been captured on camera.
The child's screams for help were picked up by RNLI lifeguard Joby Wolfenden-Brown's head-mounted GoPro as he paddled out into the surf at Crooklets beach in Bude.
The lifeguard is heard telling the bodyboarder: "I'm coming buddy, I'm coming mate."
His GoPro camera then captures the exhausted and terrified boy grabbing the rescue board and clambering onto it, as his bodyboard floats away in the background.
The young lad was then taken back to the beach to be reunited with his parents.
The rescue happened at around 4pm on Tuesday and the RNLI said six people had already been rescued from rips at the popular north Cornwall surfing beach that day.
Chris Wafer, RNLI lifeguard supervisor, said: "Rip currents can be very dangerous so it's best to swim or bodyboard between the red and yellow flags on an RNLI lifeguarded beach."
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

The owner of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), lost 90% of its market capitalisation, had its bonds rated as junk and is currently in the process of being at least partly nationalised. Investors and financiers of nuclear utilities all over the world saw their investments eroded.
Had analysts and credit-rating agencies looked beyond short-term cash flows and paid attention to the many early warnings, they would have been able to save investors from major losses.
Nuclear power plants are potentially toxic assets for their investors and financiers. Quite uniquely, they can give rise to liabilities that can exceed their owner's equity a hundred-fold or more. The probability of a devastating accident is around one major disaster in a decade based on the five core meltdowns since the 1950s, and this number does not even take into consideration the growing risks of ageing reactors.
Greenpeace worked on this report with BankTrack, who organised the background research paper that looked at who financed TEPCO before the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster either through shares, bonds or loans.

Sebastian Seung Explores the Brain's Wiring (BSP 85)/
Dr. Sebastian Seung
Dr. Sebastian Seung (MIT) is an ambitious young scientist; his goal is to unravel the entire wiring diagram of the human brain. Considering that it took over a decade to determine the wiring diagram for the roundworm C elegans, which has a mere 302 neurons, it is clear that scientists can't leap directly to the 80 billion neuron human brain. Even so, in his new book Connectome: How the Brain's Wiring Makes Us Who We Are, Seung makes a very good argument for the value of this long-term project. In Episode 85 of the Brain Science Podcast I talked with Dr. Seung both about the challenges and potential benefits of this work.

Half of our lovely guests this week have been members of the US Senior Golf Tournament, an event that is held here in the Hamptons each year at this time. These guys are awesome golfers playing awesome courses: Shinnecock, National, Maidstone and the newer Sebonack Golf Course. It is an especially well-organized event; the organizers have private dinner events planned for each night of the tournament, they know where each of the players are staying, and they even go to some trouble to coordinate the tee times of players staying in the same place, so to encourage carpooling. This is especially helpful when the members' wives also golf, as they have a separate tournament for the ladies...and when he's to play Shinnecock (in Southampton) and she's to play Maidstone (in East Hampton), somebody is going to be without a car!
Golf events, like business travel, mean early bird breakfasts, so we've been doing a double breakfast seating all week. Our leisure guests this week have included a couple from Switzerland and a couple from England. Alas, the weather this week hasn't been nice enough to serve breakfast in the garden.
The flowers are the only things loving the drizzle. Columbines are new to the garden here at A Butler's Manor this year, and do we ever love the pretty flowers. They're not a flower we can necessarily cut for the bedrooms, but they do, as you can see, make for great plate decorations. (Sunshine French Toast and sausage was the menu today -- yum!)

Scientists in the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, who have studied related issues for years but were not involved in this research, say it conclusively shows that multivitamins are safe to take, help fill important nutritional gaps, reduce cancer risk and in turn will help cut health care costs.
"An 8 percent drop in overall cancer rates is not small," said Balz Frei, professor and director of the Linus Pauling Institute, and an international expert on the role of vitamins and micronutrients in promoting health and preventing disease.
"Given that more than 1.6 million new cancer cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, this translates into about 130,000 cancers prevented every year, and with it all the health care costs and human suffering."
The research, titled "Multivitamins in the Prevention of Cancer in Men," was published today in the early online edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association, by a group of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital.
It's important, Frei said, because this is the type of controlled study that can establish cause and effect.
"And it's worth noting that the research was done with 14,600 physicians," Frei said. "This highly-educated group has a better diet, knowledge base and health habits than the average person, so it's reasonable to believe that the impact of multivitamin use in the general population will be even greater."
For decades, a standard tenet of conventional medicine has been that people will get all of the vitamins and micronutrients they need in a normal healthy diet. That's often not true, Frei said.
"We've known for a long time that something as simple as a multivitamin can help fill nutritional gaps, even if you try to eat right," Frei said. "Research has shown that over 90 percent of the U.S. population, for instance, doesn't get enough vitamin E, and that 40 percent of elderly Americans have inadequate zinc in their diet."
"Quite simply, at around a penny a day a multivitamin is the cheapest health insurance a person will ever buy," he said. "Of course it's just a supplement, and it's not a substitute for a good diet and healthy lifestyle. But this study should finally answer all the doubters out there who still think multivitamin supplements have no value. And it further confirms they are completely safe to take."
The mechanisms by which vitamins and micronutrients can help prevent cancer are still not certain, Frei said, and the fact this study confirmed the value of a multivitamin – instead of single vitamin supplements – is important. The combined effect of a range of vitamins and minerals working together is probably more important than any one of them separately, he said.
In this research, the scientists concluded that use of a multivitamin cut overall cancer rates by 8 percent. But by far the most prevalent cancer in men of this age group was early-stage prostate cancer diagnosed by prostate-specific antigen levels, and the research showed multivitamin usage had no impact on it. When prostate cancer was excluded from the analysis, the overall drop in all other cancers was 12 percent.
Only the drop in "total" cancer rate was what researchers call "statistically significant," with large enough numbers to scientifically prove cause and effect.
Several types of cancers were reduced more than others in the group who took multivitamins, although because of the relatively small number of individual cancer types it was not possible to designate them as statistically significant, Frei said.
The reduction in total cancers appeared to be driven by fewer cases of leukemia and colorectal, lung and bladder cancers in those who took the multivitamin. Types of cancer that showed little or no reduction, in addition to prostate cancer, included melanoma, pancreatic cancer and lymphoma, although again these results were not statistically significant.
"It's encouraging to think that we could have such a profound effect on the health of millions of people for something that is so inexpensive, while also reducing the enormous costs of treating cancer, both in terms of actual dollars and human suffering," Frei said. "A multivitamin/mineral is now known to reduce cancer risk in humans."

Undergraduate Degrees, Majors and Concentrations
ENTR3750 - Family/Small Business Mgmt
Summer 2019
Owning one's own business is, to some, the American dream. Operating that business is challenging, but it can be rewarding both in a financial and non-financial sense. On the one hand, running a business requires long hours, often with no vacation, and with high amounts of stress. On the other, owning one's own business gives flexibility and autonomy not available when working for a large company. This class is designed to make operating a small business effective and less stressful. Although there is considerable overlap between the two, small business management starts where Entrepreneurship ends. This class focuses upon the tasks associated with running a business after it is launched. We will spend a small amount of time discussing the launch of a business, but the primary emphasis is on its day-to-day operation. As such we will study the accounting/financial aspects of the business, how to locate the business, how to market its goods and services, how to manage the human resources, and other operational management aspects of the business. The course addresses some of the unique characteristics of managing established family businesses on a day-to-day basis and in planning for succession to the next generation. 3 credits.

Yes. It's March. Often described as the least popular month of the year. This could be due to the lack of popular holidays, or maybe it's because the name itself "march" brings up Nazi-like images of forced marches in sub-zero weather through knee-deep snow with guards driving you forward, flicking the lash across your bleeding backs, screaming cries in the Orc-tongue, sadism written across their faces.....
But it's always a popular time of the year to vote....
1) You can only vote once a day *
2) You can't vote for the same person two days in a row **
3) You must state why you voted for the person
4) Person must be Lord of the Rings/Tolkien related
5) Votes must be in bold
6) You can't vote for Luthien because she won last month
* This applies to whatever time zone you are in. Even if the TORC time works out so according to it you're posting within the same day, it doesn't matter. But don't abuse your authority.
** This means you may not vote for the same person consecutively. If you vote for Frodo Monday and do not vote at all Tuesday, than you cannot vote for Frodo on Wednesday.
Due to popular request, this is the list of the previous winners. As each month passes, we will add the next winner to it:
June '03 Haldir
July '03 Orophin
August '03 Legolas
September '03 Frodo
October '03 Sam

A Bright, Science-Themed Wedding at Franklin Park Conservatory Palm House in Columbus, Ohio
At first glance, Christel Hoot (30 and a student) and Brett Kinkopf's (31 and works in health care) early-fall wedding was a vibrant, intimate affair with a palette of showstopping orange and fuchsia hues reminiscent of a tropical sunset and eye-catching florals. But beyond the attention-grabbing aesthetics were endless one-of-a-kind accents that gave the day a quirky flair. "We tried to incorporate as much of our personalities into the wedding as we could," Christel says. "Our favors were anatomically correct heart soaps, and our seating cards were test tubes filled with rock candy and toe-tag labels." Christel and Brett prefaced their fun-filled fete with a traditional Catholic Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral in Columbus, Ohio. The pair attended the cathedral while studying at Ohio State University, where they met, giving the ceremony an extra-sentimental spin. "Though we had recently moved to Cleveland so Brett could complete an ER residency, we really wanted to hold the wedding in Columbus, since it was where we had shared the most time together," Christel says.
Before heading to Franklin Park Conservatory Palm House for the reception, Christel and Brett made a pit stop at Ohio State for photos, where they paused for a photo op with a group of OSU football fans on their way to the big game. The cocktail hour was held at Palm House's butterfly house, one of Christel's favorite spots in Columbus. Guests mixed, mingled and enjoyed a full bar, then headed into the Grand Atrium for the reception. Soaring glass ceilings and tropical flora infused the evening with an air of drama and intrigue, especially when paired with the tables' orange floral and fuchsia table linens. Science details abounded throughout the reception, speaking to the couple's medical backgrounds: chemistry ring stands filled with green orchids served as centerpieces and DIY beaker candles cast a warm glow over the expansive space. Anatomical diagrams of the heart, kidney, pancreas, stomach and more provided an unexpected alternative to traditional table numbers. "Our medical friends all sat at table Pancreas, since there is a saying that goes 'Eat when you can, sleep when you can, and don't mess with the pancreas,' " Christel says. Even the after-dinner treats followed along with the theme. The couple's doughnut table sign had wooden cubes designed to look like the periodic table of elements. For the cake, Christel and Brett went all out, having their DNA isolated by Gel Electrophoresis and using a cross section of it to decorate each tier. "One tier was my DNA, one was his, and one tier was both of ours," Christel says. After dancing their hearts out to the sounds of Encore Entertainment DJ, the newlyweds sent their guests off with rock candy test tubes. A tip from Christel: "After being engaged for almost six years and dating for a few more, we realized that being best friends is what makes the short journey through life worthwhile. We have been married over a year, and each day I feel so lucky to have married my best friend." —Libby MacCarthy

scott edward walker necesitaba un nuevo diseño de fondo de Twitter y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Scott Edward Walker - The Entrepreneur's Lawyer
I'm the founder & ceo of Walker Corporate Law Group, a boutique corporate law firm specializing in the representation of entrepreneurs. We work with really smart, cool, young entrepreneurs. We watch their backs and make sure they're not getting screwed by investors and other partners.
Entrepreneurs, tech companies, startups
I'm looking for a really cool, cutting-edge twitter background; something VERY CREATIVE AND DIFFERENT.
The challenge is that it has be something that will look great no matter what device someone is using (desktop, laptop, ipad, etc.) and no matter what resolution.
Take advantage of the right side bar which is semi-opaque (see below).
Try to use my logo down the left side (see http://www.walkercorporatelaw.com) and attached file.
VERY IMPORTANT: Pls read "Pan Your Layout" here: http://on.mash.to/biZz2k (or see below)
There are a few points you need to keep in mind when designing or altering your Twitter background to fit into the new site:
The new design has a constant top toolbar that is 40 pixels tall and spans the entire length of the web page. For most designs, this shouldn't interfere with any of your elements, but be aware that this bar is always there.
Also note that there is a 20 pixel tall space between the toolbar and the start of the two columns.
The spacing to the right and left of the columns is fluid and will vary based on the resolution and size of the browser window. The spacing is also significantly reduced from the previous design. As an example, in a 1280×800 browsing window, in the old design, there were approximately 251 pixels on each side of the Twitter columns. On the new design, that is reduced to 112 and 113 pixels respectively.
The Twitter sidebar on the right is now semi-opaque. The opacity is about 75%, which means that depending on what color you choose and the color or style of your background image, that can impact readability.
The timeline column on the left is always 540 pixels in width, but the sidebar can vary. After a certain resolution (about 1130 pixels), it becomes fixed at 500 pixels wide, but on smaller screens or in smaller browser windows, it can be as small as 380 pixels.
Because of the way the columns are now laid out, background images should probably only be tiled if they are patterns or seamless. Larger images are much better off transitioning to a solid color rather than repeating.

My name is Mike Truitt. While writting this FAQ I am 18 years old and just
started my very first year in college. I have been playing this game for
quite a while and noticed that some people were bragging about the power of
their Murasama - and I knew I could destroy what they had by a ton. So I
started to fight with it. Eventually I found out a trick which has inspired
me to write this FAQ. If you have any questions or comments about this
guide please e-mail me at email@example.com
| Subsection 1.20 Version History search.version |
| Friday, September 03, 2004 Version 1.00 10.8 Kb Complete \
| This version of the FAQ is the very first version that I have written. |
| Unless anything new comes along it will probably also be the last version. |
| I plan on having everything completed and described I might add statistics |
| relating to how many kills you get in an hour and such, but nothing is |
| definate right now. |
| Section 2.00 Murasama Information search.info |
| Subsection 2.10 About the Murasama search.ab.mur |
The Murasama, as described by the game is simply 'A Blood-thirsty sword' -
however, there is so much more to this sword that makes it worth while.
After all, if it was regular there would be no need for this FAQ! The
unique attribute of this sword lies in three of its abilities. The first
one is that it has the ability to absorb enemies blood and heal you. This
really wouldn't justify a FAQ. The second ability isn't really worthy
either, but once it reaches level 45 it has the ability to slash both high
and low at the same time. Once again, unique, but not worth while.
The third ability that needs focusing on is the ability for it to actually
grow stronger with every kill. With some time, and quite a bit of pantience
this could be used to your advantage and you could make it the strongest
sword in the game. This is certainly do-able, but you don't want to make it
that hard on yourself - do you? Never! In my never-ending quest to find the
cheapest ways to break barriers in video games, I discovered a way for you
to level up your Murasama without touching the controller!
Now here is the technical information... Unfortunatly. Your Murasama begins
at level 5. So far, I have not found a limit on how high it can go. I will
certainly keep everyone posted as far as that is concerned. In order for
you to increase the level of your Murasama you must first kill an enemy
that bleeds, and second absorb their blood. If you do that then all you
need to do is follow this formula, and the chart to follow should explain
any questions you have relating to the formula...
{[Muramasa Attack Power x 2] + [12]} = Gaining of a new level
·------------------------------· * Check your attack power by unequipping
| Current AP* | Kills Needed** | everything except the Murasama, this
|-------------+----------------| also means any relic that effects your
| 10 | 32 | Strengh, namely the Tooth of Vlad this
| 20 | 52 | should reveal your true Attack Power.
| 50 | 112 |
| 100 | 212 | ** This is how many kills you will need
| 500 | 1 012 | in order to make your Murasama attack
| 501 | 1 014 | power only 1 more point.
As you can tell, with each increasing level you only need to have two more
kills than then level before. However, after a large amount of levels, the
you will need to take a lot longer than what it feels like.
| Subsection 2.20 Automatic Fighting search.auto |
This is where everything should come together. Simply follow these
directions and you will be set for as long as you want to play (which if
you keep your Playstation in a cool place like the basement can be days at
a time).
What you need
• An controller with a rapid fire option
• A second controller of any kind
• Some rubber bands and / or tape
• The Murasama Sword
Where you should go
• In the Merman room in the Regular castle, it is the second room in the
game. Go down to the bottom left corner of the room and then into the
room just left of there. There are no enemies in this room. You will
be here simply for preparation.
What you should do
• Equip the Murasama
• Rubber band down either the Circle button or the Square button, which
ever suits you best, I prefer the Circle button. This should hold it
down for as long as it is there, but I find it reassuring to tape that
bad boy on there with some duct tape. This should be done on the auto-
fire controller, while the other one is plugged in.
• Face the room with all of the Mermen
• Unplug your regular controller and then plug in the Auto-Fire one then
you should turn on the rapid fire or auto tap option. Notice how every
time he swings, another swing follows allowing no time for anything to
sneak in between swings!!!
• Simply tap right until you go into the room with all of the Merman Try
to position yourself so that the far edge of the blade is just before
the beginning of the hanging platform. If you go too far right, there
will be enemies that will come up from behind you.
• Turn off your Television set and go do something else
Why this works
• The speed of the Murasama is such that nothing will be able to attack
you from the front. So as long as enemies do not come from behind, you
will be perfect.
• The Merman constantly respawn meaning that they will always come, as
opposed to most rooms, where there is a limit to how many enemies one
could actually fight.
• Here is the best part. The Mermen bleed, and when you are standing in
that position, all of the blood from the enemies gets absorbed by you.
Making this strategy flawless!
| Section 3.00 Notes and Thanks search.thanks |
Due to the nature of this FAQ, I will not really be enforcing any copyright
laws or anything along those matters unless there is a blantant Copying of
my information AND formatting AND it is used to make someone else money. So
as long as you do not do that, I'm cool with whatever you use this FAQ for!
First off let me just say that a great deal of gratitude is expressed
towards all webmasters on the Internet that spend their priceless time and
hard earned money for the sole purpose of allowing people from all
different walks of life, come together and discuss and help each other with
video games. Without that time and that money, the video game industry
would be nowhere near what it is today. Thank You All.
Secondly, I must thank shoecream and his infinite wisdom. It is because of
him that this entire document is justified (except for a few lines). I
would also like to pay my respects to Chris MacDonald - my inspiration for
beginning my FAQing career who recently passed away. Thank you for setting
a precident that many authors will never reach.
This FAQ is copyright information of its author, Mike Truitt. Any attempt

or the FAQ itself on your website email the author, Mike Truitt. His e-mail

I would like to add -- Morgan Kennedy, I love you.

"Casual sale" is a sale of tangible personal property by a person not engaged in the business of selling such tangible personal property. While most casual sales are exempt from sales tax under R.C. 5739.02(B)(8), that provision specifically excludes the transfer of a motor vehicle from the definition of casual sale. As a result, a motor vehicle purchased in a casual sale is subject to sales or use tax, and the tax must be paid to the clerk of courts at the time of title transfer.
The definition of "casual sale" is found in R.C. 5739.01(L).
The definition of "price" is found in R.C. 5739.01(H)(1)(a).
Below are examples of the most common taxable casual sales:
1.) Cash
John purchased a car from a motor vehicle dealer in 2011. He paid all applicable sales tax at the time of purchase. In 2013, John sold the car to Sue for $10,000.00. When Sue transfers the title from John's name into hers, she must pay sales tax on the $10,000.00 price to the clerk of court's title office.
2.) Trade
Tim and Scott have agreed to trade their vehicles which are valued at $10,000 each. No money will be exchanged because they feel this is an even trade. When Tim and Scott transfer the titles into their names, they must each pay sales tax on the fair market value of the traded vehicle ($10,000 in this case) to the clerk of court's title office.
3.) Bartering
Steve is building custom cabinets for his friend Rick. Rick has agreed to give Steve his vehicle in exchange for the cabinets instead of paying him in cash. After the cabinets have been installed, Steve will receive title to the vehicle. When Steve goes to the clerk of court's title office, he must pay sales tax on the fair market value of the services he provided to his friend Rick.
4.) Loan Assumption
Betty has a loan on her SUV. She has decided to sell her vehicle to Jeff. Betty and Jeff go to her finance company and have the loan refinanced in his name. No money changes hands and Betty is not making a profit from the sale. When Jeff goes to the clerk of court's title office, he must pay sales tax on the balance of the loan he assumed.
